Which ROM to use? (I've read tons of old post)

I have read a bunch of post on this but still not finding the answers. So, please forgive me if this is a repeat question.
I browsed thru the ftp site (under the Magician folder), but not sure of which ROM to download since there are so many of them and not sure of which is the most stable version (O2, i-mate, qtek, MDA?).
I have the O2 XDA II mini with the following version:
- ROM version: 1.03.00 WWE.
- ROM date: 11/01/04
- Radio version: 1.01.00
- Protocol version: 1337.38
- ExtROM version: 1.03.166 WWE
Or, should I use the one that I downloaded from seeo2.com site: the filename is:
ma_o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship.exe?
Also, when I update the ROM, would it lock my phone? I bought the phone in USA so I assume the phone is unlock.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
William

I'd use the Qtek S100 1.11 ROM (it's what i use now) as it's completely stable (1.12 seems not to be..) and then apply bigstorage to it..

How about the O2 ROM? I'd like to stay with O2 ROM (instead of using the Imate or Qtek ROM). Could anybody point me to the correct ROM to use? I browsed around the ftp but there are so many of them (extrom, bigstorage, modified, shipped). Thanks for the help!

The O2 ROM on their website was put up in May and is v1.11 and it's working OK for me.

I bought a T-Mobile Compact, and someone had loaded the I-Mate 1.11 ROM on there. I kept having a problem wth the GPRS failing to connect. I then upgraded to the 1.12 ROM, and it was even worse. I kept the 1.12 radio, and then downgraded to the basic 1.06 ROM. It is stable, and honestly, I don't see what the differences are besides now I can connect to GPRS whenever I want.
I also applied the bigstorage hack, and only applied the basic extended ROM cab files from 1.12 and the bluetooth patch from 1.06. I received my Compact last week, and applied 1.06 yesterday. So far, no issues have cropped up. Man, this Compact is so much less buggy than my MDAIII. The MDAIII was so feature packed, but had sooo many problems.
Hope that helps.

plz, give me a link to O2 1.11eng, i cannot log to o2 as my iemi belongs to imate, thanks

Upgrading my S100, some questions

I have the following information about my Qtek S100
Rom version 1.11.00 WWE
ROM date 03/14/05
Radio version 1.11.00
Protocol version 1337.42
ExtROM 1.11.129 WWE
I am new in this scene, so i have a few questions about upgrading my ROM version. I tried to read as much as possible trough the search function, but it is way to many
I have WWE 1.12.00 downloaded wich is 17mb. I believe this is the BigStorageROM. I also downloaded WWE_11200_188_11210.exe wich i believe this is the original ROM.
I read alot of BigStorage, but to be honest, i dont get the halve of it. As i presume the BigStorageROM is a stripped version of the original ROM?
Ok, i have the following questions:
1 - Can i just upload the BigStorageROM without preparing something?
2 - Will i have more storage on my ppc after installing?
3 - Is it wise to upgrade my 1.11.00 version for the 1.12.00 version?
4 - Can i install after the BigStorage an original ROM in the future?
5 - What are the negative things about it?
I truly sorry i have to ask this, but i saw some tutorials wich i downloaded, but they only tell me how to upgrade instead of telling the positive effects after installing 8)
Thanks in advance

hello here some anwsers
1 - Can i just upload the BigStorageROM without preparing something?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
no you will need to copy the first 416 bytes of your own rom
there are enough threats about that .
2 - Will i have more storage on my ppc after installing?
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
yes after a bigstorage hack you get about 19 mb extra storage
3 - Is it wise to upgrade my 1.11.00 version for the 1.12.00 version?

if your macigian has no problems with what you use it for ,there is no real need to update imho. but if your curious it can't do much harm
4 - Can i install after the BigStorage an original ROM in the future?

yes (have had imate ,qtek and t-mobile roms with and without BigStorage always was able to update ,with the right tools )
5 - What are the negative things about it?

I have a problem with BT carkits (echo) and i am also interested in the 20mb extra storage

As you're new in this upgrading business, pls read some threads about 'black screen', 'dead magician', 'not booting' etc as well. Cause it can finish your magician (not to scare you) or you might think you finished it & it can be saved relatively easily by re-flashing with a shipped rom. So get familiar with some errors & possible solutions before you start. Can save you a heart-attack or ****ty pants

lvsw has the AKU 2.3 ROM (base pdamobiz rom but stripped the "junk" )
This ROM is AKU 2.2 (basicly the official shipped version but the qtek custo stuff taken out of the ExtRom)
Try both, and pick the one you like, my other beta ROM also has AKU 2.3 however I'm still working on cleaning out the ROM.
I hope this helps....

i'm trying out your cooked ROM
How can I change the initial image where the rom version etc is noted.

No problem, just use one of the splash changers floating around on this board.
I'll upload a few more later.

Can anyone who has tried the 2.20.7.34 WWE OS give a comparison with the 2.15.13.27 WWE OS?
Are there any new apps or settings?

Thanx Jesterz... I have read the site you gave before. It just lists the different AKUs. What I meant was: the difference between the OS, not only the AKUs.
There are diff AKUs for the 2.15.13.27 ROMs. I am currently using PDAMobiz 2.15.13.27 (AKU 2.3). My phone was shipped with the 2.15.13.27 (AKU 1.0? can't remember) The official Dopod ROM update is 2.15.13.27 (AKU2.15 - I think).
This S200 is OS 2.20.7.34 WWE (AKU 2.2). So, we got a lower AKU, but a higher OS.
BTW Jesterz, is this ROM the same as mwiberg's @ http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=283245? The difference being you have taken out the qtek stuff out of extrom?

Hi in between the camera goes blurd.. i am using xda neo,, need to restart the mobile to make it og.

have a quick question: have an orange spv m600 with french rom
IPL:2.10.0001
SPL: 2.10.0001
Radio: 2.07.20
OS: 2.10.1.30
its not cid unlocked.
can i use this rom? i basically want to upgrade to an english rom
and how do i set about doing it?i want to be very cautious so as not to end up with a paperweight...
thank you!

One question about this relase. The Beam/IR button is missing in Comm Manager, am I right? So I'll have to go to settings and uncheck the beam option.
Is there a way to put it back into Comm Manager? thanks much.

PLEASE NOTE BEFORE YOU STARTING POSTING EVERYWHERE
Kill the existing (running) comm manager before running the updated cab and you will be fine. You can't update a running manager. OTHERWISE YOU WILL GET ERROR MESSAGE

Working like a charm. Thanks much.

Confusion about ROM versions

Hey,
Sorry for the stupid question, but I just can't find the info I'm looking for. I've checked the wiki and a lot of threads here but can't figure it out.
The wiki links to the FTP to show two ROMs I could download, but doesn't explain anything about them.
RUU_Prophet_2090724_20907106_020720_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Am I right to guess that the first one is a very old version and the second one is the latest? If the second one is the latest, is it not available at clubimate just because clubimate is out of date? Also, shayd linked to JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip in a recent thread saying it's the latest official. If the ones in the wiki aren't official, what are they?
I'm currently running 2.13.9.23 on a G4 JAMin. This is what I put on from clubimate not long after I got the phone.
Also, I've looked at a few of the custom ROMs floating around here and they're interesting. However, I know that I don't know enough about this to just try upgrading to one, for fear of bricking my phone. Is there a recommended one, and would it void my warranty?
Thanks, and sorry again for the stupid questions.

As you probably know by now, the HTC prophet is sold (among others) by Qtek as S200 and by imate as Jamin. Hardware is identical so ROMS are compatible too. What you found on ftp are official ROMS by Qtek (ver 2.09 and ver 2.2).
Imate's latest version is 2.13, which is what you have installed at the moment.
Dopod's latest version is 2.15, while Qtek's latest version is 2.2. They're all official ROMS and will work on your device providing it's CID unlocked (search forum for CID unlocking). Just FYI, CID locking is used to prevent you from loading other carrier's ROMs.
Regarding customised ROMS, yes they're interesting but unfortunately they all have bugs.

Qtek's latest version 2.2

Thus meaning that, as I have an Imate JAMin, I could install Qtek's latest version 2.2 and it would be OK? Where do I find that??? Thanks in advance.

Thanks kta.
When i-mate's v2.13 is compared to the qtek v2.2, are those numbers relative to each other, or just arbitrary? I'm asking so that I can figure out if 2.2 is actually better than 2.13.
Also, am I right to assume that if my phone died while qtek's 2.2 rom was on there, my warranty would be void?
cheers,
James

You will be OK if you update it with Qtek's 2.2. There is one on xda ftp here: ftp://xda:[email protected]_S200_2.20.7.34_2.47.21_2.20.7.114_WWE.zip.
To avoid the ROM update utility telling you "Wrong Country ID" or something like that, make sure you use a ROM Update Utility with No vendor Id (probably included in the zip file).

Hi James,
The version numbers are relative to each other and Qtek's 2.2 is a better version based on a more recent WM5 release.
Regarding warranty, well, you'd have to check what Imate's policy is. I never had an imate myself but I had a similar experience with a T-Mobile device. I sent it back for repair under warranty and it had another carrier's ROM and they didn't complain. But Imate's policies could be different.

Thanks heaps kta. Very informative. I'll contact i-mate.

Quick question...
Does anyone know if qtek's 2.2 ROM has the laggy SIP switch popup issue?

NEW rom from HK Htc website with new radio 1.27.15.32R2 and possible some fixes!!

A rom update for Chinese TYTN II was posted in HTC Hong Kong website 1 hour ago. This has been posted in the kaiser section but not as a thread. The link for the rom is here: http://www.asia.htc.com/download/RU..._radio_sign_22.51.88.13_1.27.15.32R2_Ship.exe
Let's try it and see if they have fixed anything!

Downloading....

there is also no lib_GLES.dll or other 3d driver files in

Thanks for sharing, downloading and testing

Forget the 3d acceleration that's probably never going to come. Probably aafter some serious threats, Htc will release better video playing support, drawing and eventually only 2d. Testing it, and I can say the radio is pretty good until now.

You can download Radio Only 1.27.15.32 here : http://www.mediafire.com/?9bc1srjbrdz

Impressions
Thanx. Its a keeper as it has one bar plus at the signal, camera is good. Also this rom, or is it just me, has a smaller slowdown when touching the screen. It still is there, but less (probably my imagination). Anyway i now have the radio and i can flash another rom to see if it works (let's say duttys) . Cheers

How does this version compare to EU versions?

I have had this rom on my TyTn II since I got it over a month ago. It is very stable and just awsome compared to some of my other friends with different roms. enjoy it.

any further thoughts on speed/stability/reliability?

Thanks! Is this also the R2-version?
E

im downloading radio to flash now.. has anyone else flashed this yet? Do we know if this requires the new audio drivers that was used with the later ATT radio? If no one answers this i should be able to soon..
**edit**
OK this does NOT use the same drivers as the ATT radio 1.27.14.09. When i flashed this radio over that one i get the no audio and never ending vibrate(im sure my wife would appreciate the upgrade)...
**2nd edit**
I flashed a rom that uses the older drivers and it works with those..

I flashed this to my phone and I can only really tell two differences:
My recption was shot to hell. I now am stuck at one or two bars. Before the flash I had a constant four bars present in my current location.
Touchscreen lag has been reduced. Such as scrolling through the contact list and games that use the touchscreen for input. Screen draw is still slow (ie scrolling though Programs or Settings is still choppy.)
Other than that there's not much news in there. No new (versions of the)apps, old CE-build etc.

Flashed....
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2) WWE
ROM version: 1.82.721.1 WWE
Rom date: 11/30/07
Radio version: 1.27.15.32
- Camera (Build 28288)
- Java JBlend (build 3.3.5, 20070719.1.1)
- New Cyberon Voice Commander version 2.0 (Build 705141)
- HTC Taskmanager version 1.51 (build 30744)
- SIM Manager version 6.31
First impression... not realy fast.
Rom hangs so now and then.
Only new thing I see is Cyberon Voice Commander.
Thanks!
Regards,
Leo

Look at Laurentius26's post up there, number 14. It has the date. It should be in Device Information in settings... or in about... can't remember which.
