Anyone knows where to get it?

i'm also looking for this.. as seen in the magician/general forum i've already asked for it..
the himalaya(xda2) roms have already been released in the general forum..
i really hope someone has a device or a rom running wm2005!

Yaaa i want it too.
Hope BT is better than.

yep.. iirc the bluetooth stack supports most profiles..
my thought about this is...
the current rom for xda 2 only leaves 32mb free mem for the device..
which is the amount of ram free after a clean wm2003 installation on a magician, so maybe the rom out for xda2 is actually the rom for the xda mini/mda compact/magician...

Hmm that would be really cool if that would work, but i dont wanna try it
Have you tried the 2005 rom jet??

yes.. it says its the wrong rom version.. but somehow im sure that its going to run.. maybe the htc rom is a hacked rom thats why it only displays the amount of ram a magician would have free after a clean install/hardreset...and now we have to rehack it?

I have installed this rom but it didnt boot in y jam, it only displays "Serial" and do nothing. I think the bootloader that comes with the .nbf file is only for the XDAII and for running it on jams we must change the bootloader with one valid for the magician.
If somebody knows how to change the bootloader of the wm2005 rom, tell us how please .
Sorry for my english...

Is it the right time to upgrade to AKU3?

I am using my Xda neo (flashed with traditional chinese version ROM, version 5.1.195(build 14847.2.0.0).
I believe I am using AKU2 and am wondering if this is the right time to upgrade to AKU3?
I have some questions:
1. What is "G3", "G4"? How can I know which one my Xda neo is?
2. I saw "AKU3 rom" with many different "'pool size". What they mean?
3. Any complete one-stop AKU3 package/procedures which I can just download and follow, in order to upgrade my Xda neo to AKU3?
Any BAD effect for AKU3 has been known on Xda neo so far?
Thanks

When your phone starts up you can see IPL and SPL at the boot screen, if it ends with .0001 then you have a G4 and when it does not you probably have a G3. Example: 2.15.0001 = G4
You cannot put a rom for G3 on a G4 and vice versa, it will brick your phone.
And I can't really comment which ROM is better since I'm still searching for a good ROM myself The AKU 3.2 seems to have some buggies, although the AKU 2.3 seems to be quite stable (reading from other people their comments).
As for pool size, I quote:
The large the paging pool is, the more code pages can present in RAM simultaneously -> the less loads from slow ROM -> the faster the device is.

It seems they come with all different pool sizes. My guess is they cost some memory to gain some speed. But I have also read some people had some problems with the bigger pool size. So I guess you might wanna do a search for that.
And as for your question 3. I'm still trying to figure that out myself.
I know I have a G4 device, the IPL/SPL = 2.10.0001 but still I'm not quite sure which version is the best to use. e.g. the pdamobiz version says it's for 2.15.0001, it's for G4 but does that work on my device? I have no idea lol
And it also seems the Wiki isn't fully complete in that perspective. Once I know more I surely will try to update the wiki.

G4 roms on G3 device..?
Quote: Since HTC issued new IPL/SPL version 2.xx.0001, all tools that we use to cook the customize rom to be a single nk.nbf file can not be used because nk.nbf structure are different from the previous version. We were trying to hard to solve the problem. Futunately, we found the new method that save and convenince, because it will not touch with bootloader. Just active sync prophet with pc then run UPGRADE_ROM.bat.
This method can be used with any version of IPL/SPL of SPV M600, Qtek S200, i-mate JAMin, Dopod 818 Pro, XDA neo. Need not to unlock CID.
This is from the PDAmobiz thread, and if I get it right it says that you can install any rom (G3 or G4) on both G3 and G4 devices, if you just follow their instructions..
Is this true? Cause im thinking about trying their rom on my G3 device..
Can you upgrade a G3 to a G4 bootloader?
Thanks

Well, that is what I'm trying to figure out too It says so on their website although some confirmation about that might be nice.
And the filename of that ROM says it's for 2.15.0001. But I have no idea they named it like that to show it's for G4's or it's only for 2.15.0001 if you know what I mean.
And no, you cannot upgrade G3 to G4 bootloader as far as I know.

It would be really nice to know..
Im tried the "16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe" ROM and it was really nice and fast.. Unfortunately it turned itself off in the middle of the night after just 2 days, and I can't afford to loose an important call (from work or whatever)..
Therefore im looking for a stable and still fast ROM that will work on my G3..

Just trying to speed things up...
I agree with the sentiments of Reef exactly. I am using the official I-mate ROM for my G3 Jamin. I would love to increase the speed of my device and decrease boot time from a soft reset. The 3.2 ROMs are tempting, but clearly have some showstopper problems. I was about to download and flash the 16MB AKU2.3 rom, but reading this thread stopped me. I am on call and rely on my phone 24/7.
I guess I have the same questions as Reef: Is there a rock-stable, fast 2.3 ROM with the paging file modification out there?
Is I-mate ever going to release an "official" upgraded ROM?
Does anyone have some more feedback on the cooked ROMs they're using?
Alan

At the moment I'm running AKU 2.3 with Radio ROM 2.30.21, G4 Device. And I must say it's very stable. Didn't even have to reset device yet.
I'm using: "PDAMobiz Editon Upgrade Rom for SPL 2.15.0001 v2307 - 16MB" from PDAMobiz.
Did try the AKU3 but I have to try to get it to work savely on my device, so for the moment I would say "no" to AKU3 for the Prophet...
Will test it for a week or so, will keep you all posted
By the way, as for the speed it's just slightly faster than my HTC Wizard with AKU3.2 both @ 240MHz But that could also be because of all the tweaks made to my Porphet. Will get back on this

Any ROM from the Universal section will work for any of the rebranded devices
As for which is best? Well, nobody really knows; its more a matter of opinion. But be warned: chasing the perfect ROM is addictive - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=351043&page=2#postcount1731307

My vote is for Jason's ROM at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=343736&highlight=jasjar+wm6. Been using it for quite some time and it's most definitely very stable!!

Goto the first post for the ROM your looking to install and search (using your web browser) for "SDHC"

O2 Mini Xda S WM6??

Hi there, ive looked through all the different forums and am confused! (newbie type confused :S). I have an ) O2 Mini Xda S and it is currently running WM5. If anyone can help, please can i request two ROM file downloads.
1. The original ROM file that is currently on the phone incase i flash and do not like and
2. A WM6 ROM upgrade file and if possible WM6 proffesonal.
I would really like WM6 proffesional but WM6 (the origianl one) would be brilliant. It boots up on G4 (2.xx.000x) and this is what im most confused about, wheter the upgrade is for G3 or G4. please someone help!!! Also ive heard the faria upgrade is good but not sure whether to go down that route or not.
Thanks very much in advance.

1. get the original ROM from your carrier. for instance, you can download the TMO version from their website.
2. read stickies before posting and follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
3. pick any of the many WM6 roms here and flash.
4. since you have a G4, make sure you read the part about G4 flashing in the above thread.

thanks for that, i have had a look on O2's site but they do not have any original ROMs or anything at all for my mini xda. I dont know why because its a popular phone as far as i am aware :S
any other places i can get it from? cheers

good read for a wm6 rom

Flashing X7510 with SPA X7500 ROM.

I read, search and more...
I have flashed once an X7501 with X7500 spanish original ROM, and everything worked out.
Now, does any one knows if I can flash a X7510 with the same spanish ROM for X7500?
If no one knows I would try it, but if some one know if it would do no good, please tell me before I try. Or if you know it's ok, please also let me know.
If no one knows, where's an x7510 WWE rom that I could flash to have it as it once was?
Regards.

I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that flashing a 7510 with a 7500 ROM is a bad idea.

Could you share why do you believe?
Any experience with other devices?
(yes, there's this problem with elf and elfin, but I think it was the orher way)

Baad idea!
There is one user who did it already. He was clever enough to use rom for SPL 3.5, (SPL 1.2 would brick x7510 totaly), but he lost the access to his 16MB SSD drive (Flash Drive). Except that his Athena was OK. He used AP 4.0 ROM.
The problem is that all roms for x7500/x7501 have driver for 8MB Microdrive instead of driver for 16MB SSD, which is on board of x7510.
If anybody can give a clue how to get the driver for 16MB SSD, we could go on.

Yup, thanks.
I read earlier today about that. I'll dump spanish rom directly from x7510 then.
