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 If the second one is the latest, is it not available at clubimate just because clubimate is out of date?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?

WM6.1 ROM Question

HI I am bit confuse at the moment!
1 - Has there been a official release of WM6.1 from HTC for HTC branded Kaiser? (EXE file, doesn't not require HardSPL)
2 - Do I need to match the radio rom for any main rom upgrade? can radio rom be upgrade? any side effect?

1) there's official leaked 6.1 roms, and that's as official as it gets around here. and one thing, "exe file" does not mean you dont need to hardspl, you can still brick your phone while flashing that
2) for wm6.1 you need to flash a 6.1 compatible, see radio thread for more info

What is the RADIO in HTC 710

Hi Friends,
Today I have updated my ROM to 6.1. But still the radio version remains same (i.e: 4.1.13.41_02.88.90) and RIL is same as OLD: 2.002.
What is this RADIO is all about? AND what that that RIL too?

Dr Gonzo's New 6.1 Rom has only the OS and no radio and ril updates.
Radio is the layer that actually makes ur phone a phone
it is responsible with making and receiving calls and such stuff.
RIL is the Radio interface Layer.
Radio->RIL->OS
Radio and RIL updates were in the HTC 1.34 ROM.
I saw in the Windows Mobile 6.1 thread that you updated directly from your stock ROM to Gonzo's 6.1 ROM.
You should have flashed HTC 1.34 ROM first and then the 6.1 ROM.
or if you can find just the Radio and RIL in the forum, flash that on top of Gonzo's ROM and you'll be good to go.

Hi Thanks for your reply and explanation. Now I understood the concept: Radio | RIL | OS.
So I should have done the RIL & Radio update before 6.1 Bad luck. I was not aware of that. I think now Dr Gonzo will update the NEW build/package for the WM 6.1 soon with all fix/updates. So Can I now update my Radio and RIL before the new Update?
Also Can you advice from where I will get the Updates (i.e HTC 1.34 ROM) for update?
Thanks,
Prabhat

Please just search for it. On HTC's support page you can find the 1.34 rom.
The easyest way is if you flash that one first, and then the 6.1 rom again.

prabhat you will have to USPL the phone again to flash the HTC ROM.
so remember that.

You can update RADIO without flashing a new ROM. You don't even need to flash USPL. Just run the FLASH/RUU with the RADIO NBH in the same directory and it will update. I have found 4.1.13.47_02.98.90 to be the best.

Where did you find this Radio version and is the RIL updated with this Radio?
Roland

It was on the FTP. I can attach it if you would like. It should update RIL as it was included in a fully packaged ROM and 4.1.13.54_03.10.90 is a stand alone flash so it might not.

That would be great. Is it a later Radio than the one in the HTC 1.34 WM6 ROM?

Why do you think it is the best version?
Do you think it is better than the latest one that comes with latest official htc rom 4.1.13.54_03.10.90?

Using my "seat of the pants" tests, I've noticed I can hold a better signal in a low signal area with the previous radio. I don't have any real proof, just what I notice and what suits me best.

Hey "h4waii", thanks for all advice, I think the FTP is down, So can you please upload the Radio that will FLASH the Radio & RIL so that I can do that in my week end today
Note: I have updated my ROM to Dr's 6.1 yesterday. So planing to update RADIO & RIL from your files (Original that U have from HTC) before I update to 6.1a later today
Edit: Just downloaded the Radio 4.1.13.54_03.10.90.zip file that is updated by "h4waii".
Thanks,
Prabhat

Just to make note, you probably will need to flash USPL before you are able to flash a new radio.

O2 XDA Mini

I have an O2 XDA Mini and I want to upgrade it to WM6.1. My Radio version is 1.11.00
Now, I download the Cotulla WWE1.0 (because it came with radio 1.12.00) and tried to flash it. I have to error message cannot upgrade the radio something.
Do anyone has the same problem? How can I solve it?

Try to upgrade to a rom version 1.13, maybe from T-Mobile an then try to upgrade of Cotullas WM 6.1 again.

Do you mean the Radio 1.13?
If not, where can I get the ROM that you were talking about? and URL?

No, you must have Radio 1.12! And there is Rom 1.13! Search here in XDA-Developers, there are some roms an radios you can use!
