hope it helps

´bout time!
It doesnot seem to do a thing!
I´ve been looking at "Step 4" of the install manual pdf file for half an hour now...... nothing......

Finaly got it to work
Left it standing like that overnight.
Still nothing.
rebooted PC and tried again. This got me a few steps further but it got stuck on step 6 now..... Only now my Magician wouldnot startup anymore!!
Just the grey screen with the faint USB on it.........
Exited the upgrade programm. (ctr-alt-del) and restarted it again.
Now it skipped the first part and took off from where it crashed! (neat!)
Started copying files etc.
Everythin went smoothly from here on.... Finaly.....
Damn this caused me a lot of sweat and swears!
I hope it is worth it.
grtz,

hi I have ans MDA that is now with an orange rom on it from the netherlands but would like to put it back to a T-Mobile rom! can this be put on over the top of my orange rom?????????????????

worked fine for me
Hi All
I have to say it worked fine for me first time with no hiccups - touch wood!

Hi all,
the web ROM version look like not a newest version, in the xda fttp server there are iMate USA Rom version is:
ROM Ver: 1.12.00WWE
Radio Ver: 1.12.10
ExtROM Ver: 1.12.188WWE
Regards,
MMgirlMM

Worked in 1 time, did a hard-reset first to clean the device & the upgrade was painless. Only gprs now has connection problems. Anyone a solution? The gb-soft tweak doesn't help.

Worked fine for me and GPRS worked fine too! :lol: I'm waitting for the next release version with Blackberry mail client intergrated!

blackberry is supported in the 1.13 roms. At least in the dutch and german versions. I'm using the dutch version (english) and still having gprs hic-ups though, like I had with the UK 1.12. Not using bb at the moment too expensive, another 10€ per month. Can't compare battery life or speed, but seems ok if not better than before (did not re-install sbp pp, so that can account for the noticed improvements as well). in another thread it is claimed that UK 1.13 ia big-storage compatible as well.
Greeting M.

1.13 question

The main drawback or how do you call it "missing" feature (or am i dumb enough not to be able to turn that option on?)
On 1.06 and then when i upgraded to 1.12 when i was in the dialer program.. i could start typing name of whoever i want to call. for example, if i wanted to dial a number of a friend called "jinkie" , i would have to press 5-4-6-5-4-3 and it would be automaticly selected to doubleclick it and voila, we dialed the correct number.
in 1.13 that feature is gone, and as far as i have found the only way to dial a number from phonebook is to open contacts and list 100's of numbers to the J letter and then to select it and call it.
the first method is much easier for me as i got used to it and is there a way to turn it on in 1.13 or do i need to reflash it to 1.12 again?
tnx

Smart dialing
Yr talkin abt smart dialing.. Tat software usually comes in Ext. ROM.. try gettin tat frm Ext rom of O2 or any oter place...

Low signal
After upgrade to 1.13 my MDA shows very low network signal and sometimes lose connection (showing "No service")!
Is where a way to fix it?

Unless there was a specific reason as to why you upgraded to 1.13- I would revert back to a good working ROM.
I upgraded to 1.13 (to potentially solve problem with BT headset) myself and experienced problems of a different kind- went back to 1.12- eventually found a fix for my problem.
Have you upgraded your Radio ROM as well the CE to 1.13?
These two were only available separately from the FTP when I looked last.

I've upgraded Radio to 1.3 and CE to 1.12 BS..

Maybe 1.12 is better

Just got my MDA Compact back from HTC and they put back the Rom from last May.
Funny thing is, I haven't been able to find any advantages to justify me upgrading to 1.13. For a start, rebooting the thing is quicker on 1.12.
Can anyone advise if I am missing something important by not upgrading to 1.13?
Thanks.

Maybe it feels quicker because it is a fresh installation. I doubt there are any speed differences during boot time because the changes since 1.06 are very minor and mostly ExtROM related.

Much quicker boot
I think as part of the "No Bluetooth device found" fix, they added some time to booting. Not sure, can anyone confirm?

Could that be the reason my bluesoleil did NOT found the bluetooth device on the VPA Compact 1.12 rom, and it did find it when i had installed the 1.13 t-mobile rom.
Problem is, all that t-mobile **** is not really helping me out. THe Vodafone PUSH-EMAIL service is not auto connecting etc.
Could I get that bluetooth fixed even when having installed 1.12 in some way?

Rom 1.13 comes with newer battery dll, camera & album. & indeed a BT-fix. Using it for 5 months now & still satisfied with this rom.
@Riel, you can skip all TMO related ext-rom stuff by hard-resetting your device & just before customization (the little pop-up after the message 'now tap the screen
to start using your device') starts you soft-reset again.
Then load the required Orange cabs from your previous rom & you should be fine.
Regards, M

The Hang-up which I experience, could that be a 1.12 problem (when PAN with another s100 with Bluesoleil, it hangs when we start a MP game if pushmanager is installed).
Maybe 1.13 will fix it?

Radio ROM Poll

Since the threads are becoming too long to keep an overview on everything I would like to start a poll on which Radio ROM ist providing the best results.
Specifically there seem to be issues reported for the following:
ROM 1.13: Issues with data network reconnect ("modem not responding")
ROM 1.15: Bluetooth stops working
ROM 1.09: Seemingly stable
Please provide your experiences

BTW: I'm using 1.13 richt now and have the reported issues with the data network not reconnecting.

I use 1.14.10 as 1.15 place where I live cannot provide normal reception. At 1.14.10 there are some problems
1. Suddenly disconnected GPRS
2. 2 second pause at a raising of a tube
3. 2 second pause a release

i moved back to 1.09 wich so far is the most stable without having calls missed.

Radio 1.17.00...?
i saw Mamaich use Radio 1.17 in the Signature....
is that True...?
HTC Universal (PU10, SuperCID)
Rom : latest
Radio : 1.17.00

Using 1.13 data problems
i'm using 1.13 since it passed all test run by jwrightmcps while its rom 2.02.00 WWE.
1st Problemon the whole i do not get low signal problem nor there is any data disconnection while on pda but when using usb modem on pc; it does disconnect data.
2nd problem i feel is that i am unable signin to my Windows Live Messenger till now. it says synchronization error. you may be in low coverage area. ---> and my signals are always full.
3rd Problem i cannot send or receive mms since i stacked my universal with 1.13. it reaches 99% and suddenly the baloon disappears and the message stays in the outbox (unsent) with the status of PENDING on its envelop icon
farehmani

Using 1.15 and use the bluetooth headset. have yet to experience the not working problem, yet.
however, if bluetooth is not left on, and i were to beam a file using Resco, sometime bluetooth will freeze and a soft reset is required to regain functionality.

hope someone would post the link to radio 1.17 for me to try out

The problem here is that the choice is rather limited in the poll.
I'm using 1.15 but to be honest I don't notice any difference between that or 1.13 or 1.14.1.
I'm based in England, but don't use GPRS or pushemail; maybe that means I'm not au fait with the subtle differences between the versions?
I just think there are too many variables and it is a personal preference?

1.09 is very stable

Hi,
I have tried them all and I get back to 1.09.00
It was the most stable and functional one for me.

Tried the following
1.08
1.09
1.10.03
1.11
1.12 (fixed)
1.13
1.14.10
1.15
So far, I've had problems with all of them, but hell that's just how the uni works
with 1.15 and 1.14.10 I have loss in BT connection along with hanging 3G and missing calls when the device is on.
1.12 is a bit better
Have to try 1.13 again and also 1.10.03
1.09 Still gives me the best result basicaly
haven't tried 1.08 because 1.09 is mostly used and 1.08 seems like a step back

mamaich! Post 1.17 Radio here please

I have used 1.13, 1.14.10 and 1.15 and at the beginning 1.09 but I have one big Problem but don't know if it's with the radio:
I can hear some people very hard (they are too quiet) and the same the other way around. They hear me very hard. Have tried it with the PDAVIET/Darkforce WM6 and Radio 1.14.10 and 1.15. But once I had a WM6 ROM (Think it was Helmi's 1.1) which was VERY LOUD AND CLEAR. Is there an option to turn up the Volume or do I have to try every RADIO backwards?

I agree.
Radio 1.15 is no good. Very unstable. I've lost reception many times, mainly from going in a place with no reception and then back outside. It'll search and search and search and it'll find NOTHING. i have to do a soft reboot in order to get reception again.
I'm gonna try out 1.09, my jasjar came with 1.13

No similar problems with my Radio 1.15, using O2 in the UK. When I'm on the train or the underground and lose the connection, it quickly reconnects once reception is available.

I agree - I'm on T-Mobile, and 1.15 is the BEST of the available ROMs for me (I'm using Helmi's v1.1). The older ROMs generally seem to have better data handling, but poorer voice facilities. v1.15 is fine for voice, and has the most stable data of all the ROMs I've tried (and I've tried them all).
I think it's been said before, but is probably worth repeating; the different radio ROMs seem to give differing results in different territories. The best option is to try them out for yourself, and pick the best one. At least with a radio upgrade there's no hard reset, so you shouldn't lose any data. (Having said this, I tend to get some minor settings changed when I flash, but it's not a big deal to reset them - worth taking a backup if you have the facility).
Cheers,
Steve.

WM6.5 "No service"

I've recently upgraded my O2 xda ii mini from WM2003 to Cotulla's WM6.5, and Radio 1.13
Everything's OK but except:
Whenever my battery drop down below 60%, it will display no signal at all, no service... And when click con Phone, Phone Setting, Sim Manager... It'll pop up: "The phone is not ready, wait 15 sec" => Then wait all day long with no result... (If I plug the charge, everything'll be fine)
I bought a new battery, and still not works...
And I don't know why, now, even the battery indicator gone mad... Always 0%, charging, when the phone running smoothly...
Sorry for my bad English.
How can I solve those problems now?

Hi,
are you sure you have radio 1.13?
So long,
MrFX

can you post some screenshots of Device Information and Phone Settings.? so that we can diagnose properly. . .

I don't know how to take a screenshot on my PDA, but I'll write it down...
Device Infomation:
ROM version: 3.06.00 WWE
ROM date: 25/12/09
Radio version: 1.13.00
Protocol version:1337.43
ExtROM version: <Nothing>
And Phone Setting:
Well, my network, I set to auto, not work, then I set to manual, but still can't solve...

Hi,
how the hell you've installed this rom with radio 1.13? If i tried this, there was a bad radio error...
Please try the radio 1.12 like described on cotullas site:
*You must have installed 1.12 or 3.00+ radio.

I've installed radio 1.13 first... Then install that ROM, and they're still work OK if battery is over 60%...
How do I down grade to 1.12? The 1.12 installer always said that the cable is disconnect...

Well, I did downgrade to 1.12...
Still the same...

Hi,
is it an old or a new battery?
I had also some problems with my older bat, it shows always a good status, but i was not able (with full bat) to flash any new ROM to the Magician, and sometimes the Phone was going down.
After i replaced the battery with a new one, the Magician works very well.
So long,
MrFX

Sorry, both the old one and the new one brought no good result...

Hi,
do you have the same problem with WM 2003 (now)?

Ah yes... I think that's hardware problem
And another problem is:
Now my O2 will not sound anything out when receive a message or a phone call if PDA is off (it still vibrate though). If it's on, it sounds normally...
I don't know what the heck is going on... Everythings works fine before I flash the WM6.5 in... Even now I flash back to WM2003... It still screwed up...

are you sure you have downgraded to 1.12 wm2003se.?
if you still have that same problem, try to change network provider or change SIM, maybe you have a network bandwidth problem.
check the antenna pads if it's tightly intact, if there still no luck, you better find a technician.

ohh i forgot, the last time you upgraded your device did you use and run this file.? MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe if yes, then you should not be having problems with your network cause that file helps fix country id error.

Yes I did...
I tried another SIM from a different Provider, but no hope.
I cleaned the antenna, still the same.
Try a different battery. Nothing happen (still below 60% and no services).
Now, if some one call me or SMS, it has no sound at all, unless the PDA is turned on (that means the screen still show Windows menu, not black).
The Cotulla's WM6.5, the virtual keyboard: Sometimes the Delete or the Backspace key doesn't work at all, and I have to reboot.
If I press a hard button, it will show a message box said the short cut is invalid.
If I flash WM2003, then, I can't turn off the device by the side button. I must set it auto turn off after 1 min.
My country have no such technician for me to ask. Just a bunch of liars... ^^
May be it's too old, and I have to buy a new one.

before you buy a new one, do first an experiment so that we can corner the problem, you must downgrade to the original rom, just ignore the turn off button, i think it can be tweak in the registry.
follow this steps, this is my way of downgrading.
1.) download this rom http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/Magician/MA_O2Asia_11200_920_11200_Ship.exe
2.) extract those files in a folder. (any folder name you like, use winrar.)
3.) run the file ROMUpgradeUt.exe
4.) download and save this file inside the folder where you extracted the files in step 1. http://files.pdamobiz.com/ROMs/XDA/Magician/MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe after you downloaded it, run it.
5.) follow the onscreen instruction until your done flashing.
observe your device if it still have the same problem.

I did try as you suggest...
The same problem... Nothing changed... And even still no sound when the PDA is "sleeping"...
I don't know what to do with this "thing" now...

maybe you have a hardware problem. let them check by a technician. cotulla's rom works fine on my device. no problem encountered so far.
