Just wondering if anyone has any suggestions on the best ROM to use for those of us in the USA. I am personally using ATT/Cingular and have a ROM loaded that the GPRS doesn't work and the txt messaging is pretty shotty.
Or is anyone using a specific ROM in the United States that has worked well for them?

The bottom of the page will have a direct link to the latest official ROM for the i-mate JAM 850MHz. It's the one added by me, and it has the USA flag next to it.
nice. thankyou

Which version should I get? I live in the USA in WA and currently have T-Mobile service.
1. T-Mobile MDA II. Since this is from T-Mobile, will it have an optimized radio stack and better performance? I'm concerned about the German ROM. I found the thread that talks about how to convert it but will changing it prevent me from installing future rom updates as they usually check the previous version?
2. i-Mate. I believe the rom is in English on this one and there is already an updated ROM released. I'm concerned about perfomance if I don't have a T-Mobile branded device.
3. O2 XDA II. Same concerns as #2.
Please help me make a decision. I'm ready to buy.
Thanks!
MDA from Tmobile Germany, this one would have to be flashed with an English Rom. (some places are doing it. - question to ask does it have English manuals or German ones) You would void any warranty and you are stuck for any upgrades. I personally would not buy a GERMAN ROM.
Imate - Great deivce, English original ROM. I have one, works well, official updates, worldwide warranty. Great tech support.
XDAII - O2 you might have to unlock it but with the new tool no problems. I would have no problems buying one.
I do not think you will have any performace issues. Just slight changes in add on software for each device.
Personally I would go for a Imate or XDAII. I would not spend all that money on a hacked MDA.
It's all the same device, just different brand labels. This is likely to be even more true for the XDAII than for the the XDA.
Don't worry too much about different radio versions being optimized for different providers: my guess is we'll see one unified radio software to fit all. It's all the same device, just different brand labels. This is likely to be even more true for the XDAII than for the the XDA.
I have recently purchased a Sp5 thinking I could push email (Microsoft said so on there web site) but I noticed my firmware is not new enough. I check on there website and they said that Australian and NZ customers will have to wait until iMate get operator approval before they release the firmware.
I check there FTP site and notcied that the i-mate_SP5_WWE_2.5.331.2.zip. Has anyone in australia used this firmware? does it work?
>> Has anyone in australia used this firmware? does it work?
Yes, it does. it works. tested OK on Optus and Vodafone GSM networks.
Does anyone have the original T-Mobile UK WM6.0 rom that is shippped with the unit?
I flashed Dutty and its good but to be honest seems a little flakey with certain things not working as I expect and certain defaullts I don't like.
All help really appreciated on this one.
Cheers,
Neill.

Cheers,
Neil.

cheers dood.
Hi I brought a HTC TyTN II a few weeks ago from an Australian supplier. The phone works great but when I try to install the “TOMTOM” navigation disk it says the ROM version is incorrect. I contacted HTS Australia, they say the unit is from Indonesia and so not supported here. Can anyone tell me where I can get an Australian ROM version? I am with Telstra for my mobile. I see lots of ROM versions on this site but not sure which one. ( sorry im new)
thanks
Tim
Yeah I'd like to get my hands on a current TyTN II rom for Australia.
I'm currently running Duttys latest rom which is working fine for the most part. I did have a small issue today where people on incoming calls couldnt hear me speak but a soft reset seems to have fixed that for now. Hope it doesnt come back
You can download it from http://www.asia.htc.com/Dopod_Aus/member/login.aspx You need to register with the serial number of an Australian phone to get access to the Australian ROMs. As far as I was aware the Australian (non branded TyTnII) phones ship with CoPilot and not TomTom. (At least mine did). So this may explain your TomTom issues.
Initially I flashed the Aust Hutch Three ROM to my phone but to be honest it really offers very little over the standard ROM other than the custom Three shortcuts which are easy enough to replace. I am with Three in Australia and very happily running Duttys Roms on my phone. I doubt flashing an Asutralian ROM will fix the TomTom isssue. I would be checking on its Authenticity and chasing it up with the supplier rather than HTC.
The Australian (non network branded) TyTn2's don't come with Tomtom taster, so an AU rom will not allow you to install Tomtom either... hope you didn't pay full AU retail price.
No Asian Tytn2 comes with Tomtom either AFAIK, even if it installs it will only give you a choice of US/Canada maps to download... making it useless.
Best bet is to buy Tomtom or another full version nav program. (and get onto whoever sold it to you asking why an "AU" phone would have the US nav taster (tomtom) bundled and not Copilot7 which is the official Australian bundled nav program.) If you got it from Ebay it is almost definately an asian grey market import... usually an SE Asia OEM phone (which have nothing bundled but Phone Backup, then some bad sellers include a useless US software disk to make it look more legit.)
I've got TomTom running on my TyTN II without a problem. All you have to do is go back one version to the .30 install and you wont have the rom issue. then you just need to copy all the maps and voices down to your storage card. I found the older version of TomTom on mininova.
Hi
My TyTN cam with Map King. I purchased TomTom as an option.
My ROM version is 1.82.707.0 WWE from 11/03/07, so its old. The phone has been working fine until i tried io install the Tomtom. I am also on the Telstra network. Thanks for the feedback so far.
regards
Tim
I have long searched all fora and have not found much, so please excuse my new post ...
I moved back to Germany with a HTC Touch Pro2 branded by Verizon. However I am no longer Verizon Wireless customer.
I would like a German ROM on my handset, possible a WM6.5-based ROM and, of course, it needs to be CDMA radio compatible as I read in most of the posts that a GSM ROM would wreck my device.
At present there is still the newest WM6.5 ROM from Verizon (3.04.605.3) flashed on it, but the radio (2.32.00WU) is already Security and SIM unlocked (I applied Hard-SPL).
Does anyone know a CDMA-based ROM in German?
Thanks,
Mat Fred
Is you reasoning for a German ROM purely language?
I think you can use any CDMA ROM and just use an international SIM card.
there isn't a german cdma rom
Yes, my main reason for a change to a German CMA ROM is language as it is kinda enoying to get english spelling hints when texting for example.
But also I would like to get rid of the Verizon branding since I am not using it anymore.
-Thanks

We are CDMA, so all of those GSM world ROMs CANNOT be used. Using a world GSM ROM could potentially brick your device
You will want to check out all the custom ROMs over at PPC geeks...some might even have a german language pack:
