Hi,
I have the Qtek S200 and have tested the Qtek, Imate, Original Dopod, and the new 2.15 Test Rom. From all of these, only the Original Dopod Rom seems to give me all the functionality with the least bugs.
In the Qtek and Imate roms and the DOPOD test rom, my Dual Sim Card adaptor does not work properly. Only the Single Sim functions properly and the second sim causes radio problems.
The New Dopod Test rom, run quite slow on mine and seems to hang for a bit while opening applications. When running nothing at all only 19M of memory is used, which is better than all the other roms, but still the hang happens when opening applications.
The fastest ROM (compared with the original Dopod rom) was the Qtek and even though it seemed that it had the greatest memory leak, a relflash of the Qtek ROM solved the problem.
The New Dopod Test ROM also has problem with my Dual SIM adaptor, and I wish there was a Dopod person of email i could contact to report this problem but I haven't found an English site yet with this kind of information.
I also do not know who else is having these problems, and would appreciate it if I could get some feedback on this.
Cheers,
Oz.
Have you try the new Dopod ROM release yesteday?
yup
Yup, I have tried it and still the same problem with my Dual sim adaptor. With the new ROMS (AKU2) I have seen that the WiFi signal is considerablly lower. I have tested this at home, and at the local starbucks with the same low signal.
iMate ROM
I am not using a dual SIM adapter, but I flashed the iMate ROM per the instructions here: http://www.kaitech.hk/component/option,com_smf/Itemid,71/topic,554.msg2868
It works a whole lot better. I am getting better performance than the original ROM that shipped with my Dopod 818 Pro when it was overclocked. Without the bugginess that was inherent in the 818 Pro original ROM and the bugginess that came from overclocking. Now I only overclock for VOIP.
The Dopod ROM on mine acutally seemed significantly slower with the long opening delays. The delay with the iMate ROM was much, much less.

Well, did read all the ROM-related stuff everywhere. Realised that as a fact of life, the last OFFICIAL Rom we're gonna see for beloved Prophet is 2.15.Something Dopod version. Is there any chance we can get something faster than that? Have anyone heard of something close to what i'm looking for?
?
did'nt u see the 2.20 qtek rom for the prophet?
i'm using it,and its good and i used to use the imate rom,2.13 i think?
give it a try. i found it to be reliable,fast,no extra programs in the extended rom(that could be arranged).
me the same, 2.20 from qtek, but it's a little old AKU 2.2 but its fast and stable, AND ORIGINAL from qtek
waiting for new AKU from qtek
old?
i downloaded the rom 3 weeks ago?
i think its from 2-11-2007 give or take a week!
3ala rasy m3aleem? keff el sham?
I'm talking about AKU Adaptation Kit Update, by the way this 2.20 Qtek from date 31/8/2006 and posted as 7/10/2006, it's old
And the AKU 2.2.0 as there is now AKU 3.3.? The build version of windows mobile

I'm thinking of trying this rom...I have heard some people complain about the radio part of the rom though. I'm not sure if it was with this official Qtek rom or another one. I takes soooo long to reinstall all those apps though .
use back up software
try to use a back up soft ware like spb backup,it will really help
Hi,
I have Qtek 9100, SPL/IPL 2.26, Radio 2.19. Since upgrade to WM6 (3 different editions) I had nothing but glitches and bugs. I miss calls, my alarm not working anymore, OS is slow to name a few. I'm not sure I used anything of what WM6 is supposed to give me since I don't use GPRS on my phone and not sure what else WM6 is supposed to give me.
So I'd rather have stable but outdated OS then cutting edge OS which works only 80% of the time.
What exactly I'll be missing if I go back to WM6? And secondly what is most stable version of WM5 out there and recommended? I used Cingular before but it's locked my phone last time I used it so I'd rather not to go with brand locked by Carrier.

If you aren't sure what you will miss, then you probably won't miss much . To be honest WM6 is really more like WM5 SP2 (its not a major rewrite or anything). Personally I find WM6 faster than the original Cingular ROM.
For WM5, go try Faria's AKU 3.3 or maybe Molski's Crossbow add on. Both are stable and very fast. There are others that people really like too.
I have my i-mate SP5 running wm6 Tornado Perfect English Edition as of now. However I want to downgrade it back to the official i-mate ROM as I'm parting ways with my SP5.
I have found this ROM on the club i-mate FTP. ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/i-mate_SP5_WWE_2.5.331.2.zip
Can I flash this ROM without modifying anything and get to back to the original ROM? I did the SuperCID when I was upgrading so is there anything similar I should do when I'm downgrading?
Any help much appreciated.
Just hard reset and run the RUU, or be safe, format BINFS first
Do you mean the file I mentioned above? Couldn't find RUU file on the club i-mate server.
RUU is basically the ROM im talking about here
From what I've seen, the stock ROMs (like the iMate one) are usually bigger than the cooked WM6 ROMs. So if you're uncomfortable with doing a format BINFS, you may be able to just download the file from the ftp site, and run it. You should be back to WM5.
Why are you going back anyway?
I'm also back at WM5... I tried to get along with the WM6 of Karhoe (who did a pretty good job) but I've got the problem with the time out delay at the incoming calls.
There I'm getting very much calls a day it was very frustrating to have that delay of 6-10 seconds...
Greetz
@Karhoe: I'm downloading the file I posted in the first post. That supppose to be the world wide english (WWE) version. What I'm trying to ask is that ROM only contain the OS, not the radio stack or IPL and other stuff? I just want it to return to the original wm5 OS while keeping other settings.
@bipinsen: Thanks for that. I got myself a iPhone and selling the SP5. I think it's better to sell with the original OS as there is more resources out there.
Basically most of the AKU2 ROMS contain a whole new IPL and radio stack I think, why don't you check with typhoonnbftool ?

Oooohhhh.. Now I'm envious!
I should think that selling it with WM6 should get you more buyers.
I look on Craigslist and rarely see WM6 phones. Annoys me. Part of why I chose HTC because I new I could buy it cheaper and upgrade it myself.
Just to update anyone who is interested I have downgraded using the ROM i mentioned in the first post. It was pretty straight forward; just have to run the installer.
@Exitao: I agree, but the buyer is more likely to find bugs in unsupported ROM. Now I have been using the wm5 ROM for few hours I notice how sluggish the official ROM is. Maybe I will give the buyer option to upgrade into the new ROM.
WM5 was always buggy, but so was WinCE3.0. Well, it is an MS product after all. They never got rid of the bugs, they just "upgraded" the OS.
Hi,
After using Ranju's WM6.1 ROM with Radio 1.18 I experienced some major problems today.
First I started to having problems with poor reception. Then one call went down and after that, each time I tried to started a new call, the radio would hang and I had to do a reset.
I would get the "Phone not ready" message when I tried to access the settings screen.
I tried reset's, removing the SIM, etc.
I actually thought the radio part was broken.
Then I installed radio 1.15 and everything started to work again.
Downgraded to Jwrightmcps Crossbow ROM Update 2.12.08 WWE now.
What a scare!
So if this happens to you, try to get rid of radio 1.18 first.
Unfortunatlu now my 4 GB HCSD is not recognized...
Cheers,
vma
well, ranju himself recommends radio 1.15 for his roms. i think radio selection is still a voodoo craft . it is probably dependent on many factors, some out of our reach. you should try and stick to the one you like (not too many choices there).
SDHC issue solved on page 11 (?): there is a cab to download...
Well, I do own 2 Universals now (and a BA). I used Jwright's .06 for a long time and was happy with it. Too happy, to update it to .08 for all the trouble it is to get everything as i like it.
It was on my second one, where I tried Ranju's ROM. I was really freaking out... Thought the phone was broken.
To tell the truth, the only thing I did like about WM6.1 was the message "You missed a call"...
Cheers,
vma
Me too had problems with 1.18 and downgraded to 1.15
Everythings fine now with the radiopart.
I never had any big problems with Ranju's ROM,
but now I'm testing the new PDAViet ROM and it's the fastest I've ever
flashed. The only problem I already had with it are some unmotivated
softresets.
Now I'm waiting for Ranju's 19900 version

The previous version of PDAviet generated unexpected reset too.
I changed for Ranju's 7.6 and now very stable (no change of radio 01.18)
The radio version can also depend of the network that you use (European, American...) but I don't kwon which radio version is more appropriated for which country.
For me Ranju's and 01.18 works fine, my SDHC 16 gb too
The strange thing is that Radio 1.18 did work fine for over a week!
It was from one moment to the other that I got this problem. Either the ROM got corrupt or it generated some invalid data.
Very freaky stuff...
Today I did not have any problem with the phone, using Radio 1.15 and Jwright's ROM, so it is definitly not a problem of the phone itself.
I have to add that I was using a cloned SIM during that week, but I have that SIM for a long time and it never gave any trouble (I have made myself two clones, so that I have a total of 3 SIM's: this way I can choose which phone to use, without having to replace the SIM).

Hi Guys,
I have been in contact with T-Mobile on a few occasions with regards to the update for the Vario 3, however I seem to be going nowhere fast as per the update to the Vario 2.
Anyone have any contacts within HTC or T-Mob to get a beta release of the software?
Sorry to dig up an old thread, but it's what my search for 'T-mobile windows 6.1' led me to!
I've just received a Vario III replacement from T-mobile UK, and it comes installed with an official T-mobile 6.1 Rom.
I'm currently dumping it, and will attempt to reconstruct it (for installing for future returns if needed), and upload it if anyone wants it.
Apologies if this is old news and has been around for ages, but I could not find it in searches.
yes please I would like this very much!
I would also love to have this rom
Ok, I tried reconstructing it, but it was not successful.
I used the base rom and did everything as discribed in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066
I could not try it, as if it did not work, I'd lose the official rom, so someone here tried it and it was not like the T-mobile 6.1 rom.
Does anyone know if I need to use a 6.1 base rom instead of the WM6 one mentioned in the reconstruction thread?
I can upload the dumped raw files if anyone wants to try reconstruction?
Hi Folks,
I've uploaded the dumped .raw files from the official T-mobile UK 6.1 rom that I received with a replacement Vario III:
Part00.raw: http://rapidshare.com/files/193445393/Part00.raw
Part01.raw: http://rapidshare.com/files/193445718/Part01.raw
Part02.raw: http://rapidshare.com/files/193452226/Part02.raw
Part03.raw: http://rapidshare.com/files/193466366/Part03.raw.html
If you manage to reconstruct this, please upload the resulting rom so that myself and others can have it!
Cheers!
Anyone brave enough to give this a go?
Also, how good is the ROM? Does it appear fast?
It does seem quite good, stable & fast to be honest... and I've been used to quite up to date 6.1 cooked roms.
Though I usually just stick PointUI over any rom I use (as it's still better than TF2D for most things), so cooked roms don't really speed anything up significantly compared to the original T-mobile WM6 rom (as PointUI runs fast on all versions).
This rom doesn't have some of the good customisations or applications of more recent cooked roms, but it does come with a version of Audio Manager that has Volume up and down buttons on the screen. Seemingly unlike most chiefs, I consider this to be a useful feature for a music player!
I'd say it's definietly worth a try!
T-Mobile 6.1 UK (reconstructed without radio)

Very nice.
Quick question, what is the version of the radio on your device?
Good work monkey, it works a treat. Cheers!
There are some decent things about this ROM on first impressions. The screen update when keyboard typing seems exceptionally fast, although the screen tilt change is perhaps a little slower than on some others ROMs.

The radio on my own device is from T-Mobile NL (just look at my sig)
I don't know the radio or the SPL version from the UK rom so I didn't include it.
Radio version 1.70.18.02 came with the 6.1 official T-mobile 6.1 rom on my Kaiser, and it seemed to work great.

Same radio as the dutch one, and is already in the wiki.

I had a new 6.1 UK rom when I had phone back but it would not let me pair up bluetooth with pc.
Any one got any problems with this with the rom?
