New Eddition will be Avilable Soon for from I-mate v.1.66

I am already reg. with I-mate as owner of one of it products, I got informations from them say that new room will be avilable soon it is ver. 1.66 for XDA II maybe next few days, and the windows Ver. is Windows 2003 SE
at all when I got the link to download it I will publish the link for everyone, Thank you for everyone published that great support using XDA II and XDA. it was great help to me to came very expert in solving problems to my XDA and XDAII
as my profile say then
i have
RUU 1.66.00WWE
RSU 1.10
on my qtek2020 it came with that
as far as i can tell it's not 2003 SE
specs
ROM version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM date> 02/20/04
Radio version 1.10.00
protocol version 1337.18
extOM version 1.66.140
I published what I already read in I-mate forum, I didn't have it yet ...... by the way all new edditions of XDAII coming with v. 1.66
so Rudegar
as it is getting really stressy to have the latest release... ;-)
do you have any ideas about the improvements with your
1.66.00 ROM over the 1.60.00
Alex
hmm, can you post a copy of your rom?
you can copy the rom with pmemdump from itsutils.
well it had that rom when i got it so i cant really compare it with 1.60 since i went from a xda1
i'll look into drumping the rom
but it does seem to have some auto settings and such for
some phone company
usually the phone company specific stuff is in the extended rom.
itsme:
usually the build number is just the ExtROM right? example, the latest tmobile rom i saw in the other thread had 1.60.36, but the os was simply 1.60.00, and the radio was 1.10.00, and the extrom was 1.60.36
does that mean that IF we extract whatever newest rom that comes out in the future and see that it has the same osrom ver and radio stack, merely upgrading the ExtROM is the best way to go?
I mean i know people prefer to only flash the ExtROM, but that's because they want to cook something up. But what if you just want to upgrade and not waste time with the OS if you see they still have the same number, does it HAVE to come hand in hand to upgrade? Or could you just bypass the others and upgrade the ExtROM and expect it to perform like a real update?
yes, that is what I usually do.

Version 1.72 seriously discussed

Can anyone share with us information on version 1.72 for XDA2: features, benefits, pros, cons... ?
Is worth upgrading from O2 1.60 ?
thanks
There are allready many threads on this.
But to conclude:
If you don't have any issues with your current version: stay with it.
You might consider 1.72 (the Qtek or iMate versions, NOT the T-Mobile beta) especially when:
1. You need certain Bluetooth options (ie serial port protocol) and don't want to mess around with hacks or extra 'tools'
2. Battery life is important
For me these points were enough to DO the upgrade (coming from 1.63 T-Mobile NL). And very happy with it.
Keep in mind that (unless you find a 1.72 from your own operator) you will have quite some work with getting all the customisations right.
One of these days I will post a good working set (no issues in a month holiday!!) of customisations to be used as a an extended rom for T-Mobile NL
i'm currently using the T-Mobile ROM v1.72WWE had no problem with it. the batt life was improved noticeably. I was using the O2 ROM v1.66WWE
as for my bluetooth i'm using the widcomm BT-PPC/PE v1.0.0 build 1400. no problems with it except that it turns off whenever i set my phone to standby mode.
downlaod
i have a qtek 2020 with rom 1.66 and it is doing a lot of problem which version is better and where can i download it

---------------
many thanks to [Krueger] Dr. Stein, mamaich, itsme, edsub...
you are great man.
Most of the post regarding ROM Salads and customizations are beyond what I wish to perform on my device. To dat I have only loaded T-Mobile ROM upgrades that required nothing more than loading them automatically. I currently have the T-Mobile U7K Beta on my MDA II.
Can someone please explain the following:
1. Is there another T-Mobile 1.72 WWE available that I can load, non-beta?
2. I see other Custom ROMs on this site that state T-Mobile. Can I simply load those automatically or will I have to get into country ID, .nbf files, etc?

Official T-Mobile
Hi. Gratefuled
maybe this can help you : :?: :?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11169
ajong,
Thanks for the link. I have looked at that page/thread, but I think what I want is still not available.
I'm looking for an official T-Mobile 1.72 ROM, si I can get rid of the 1.72 Beta, or I'm looking for someone's custom ROM that I can load just like I could an official one. In other wors the custom I suppose would be ok, but I do not want to mess around with opeing the ROM and disecting and changing certain settings. Like I say, it just may not be out there.

State of the nation: Bluetooth and ROM upgrades

I've been off the forum for a long while.
Could somebody update me on where we stand on ROM/Operator ROM versions and is it yet possible to install a REAL Bluetooth stack (i.e. one that supports a handsfree profile and passes car microphone into the XDA for voice recognition).
I have an XDA2 with an identity crisis (had a sexchange and now masquerades as an M1000 on Orange).
BTW I currently use a T610 with my Parrot car kit. What an outstanding implementation of Bluetooth services!! XDA developers could do worse than write a T610 emulator ....
The current rom version is:
OS 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
ExtROM:
O2 1.72.181 / 1.72.187 (UK based, difference: one is with other without Blackberry)
T-Mobile 1.72.190 (NL based)
iMate 1.72.126
QTek 1.72.601
I would go for the O2 or T-Mobile ones, but: There are many customisations available (like my own 1.72.903 T-Mobile based) with many extras that might suit your wishes.
Read the sticky post from dcs to fix & prevent upgrade errors to avaoi Identity crises.
The current ExtROM version of the imate is 1.72.800.
How (and why..) can I upgrade the Radio version to 1.17 (my current is 1.14.
@amir : you could replace radio.nbf from your upgrade with another 1.17 out of some recent update.
Just watch the country code.
and do not try to update radio alone. just reupdate with existing OS rom, new radio rom and existing EXtrom
About the why I'm not so sure. I don't recall the benefits of 1.17 against 1.14. maybe you could do a search.
Only rom part that can be left out with a rom update is the ExtROM.
You MUST upgrade Radio & OS at the same time as a minimum.
The ExtROM can also be updated via the ExtRom Tools (which is less dangerous than flashing.
Have loaded all the latest updates available but original BT problems still remain. I have a Nokia CK-1W car kit which has always refused to work though I did get some success using the Pocket Bluetools stack ( incoming calls only ). Don't know of any other solutions for BT right now ???
Well I have the T-Mobile 1.72 ROM already (with Orange 1.66 ExtROM) and the Bluetooth is still rubbish.
Oh well, one day!!
PS Pocket PC tools looked promising for a while but I couldn't get it to work with Parrot. Have there been any updates since April?
Cheer
BT is working just fine (thanks god ).
I am pairing daily with GPS receiver & BT headset, no problems at all.
I just upgrded my ExtROM, with official update from iMate, I think I'll skip updating the radio, since I see no known reason for that.
BTW, I just heard a rumor saying ROM 1.77 for the iMate, will on the air within 1-2 weeks.
The update contains radio 1.17
Get the 2.02.t1WWE Windows 2003SE upgrade which is available on this site from DCS.
I recently upgraded my device and it now works with my Nokia CARK-1W bluetooth car kit. I have tried every upgrade available up until this one for a fix without any joy so I am rather please with the results !!
Incidentally, performace on my XDAII has improved over the last ROM.

2.06 ROM with BT of 2.20 ?

Hi all,
I have been wandering around looking for different posts in this forum, but I haven't found what I am looking for.
I've tried 2.06 and 2.20 ROMs. And definitely, I prefer the 2.06 one.
Good. So keep it, you must say.
The problem is that my car kit has handsfree profile, and no headset profile. I succeed in using it with 2.20 ROM.
So my question is :
is there a ROM somewhere which is a 2.06 ROM with the BT from 2.20 ?
Or same question but another way of saying it : is there a 2.06 supporting handsfree profile ?
Thanks a lot in advance for your answers.
Regards
Blg
where did you see such rom?
the newest i'm aware of is 2.03 beta by TofClock
The 2.20 ROM is a CHS ROM, translated from chinese.
The 2.06 is a WWE ROM, very widespread. Strange you haven't heard about.
I have finally solved my problem : the 2.02.t1 is very similar to the 2.06 and has the handsfree profile. I have noticed a slight problem in this ROM : the HP is cut when the screen goes off. Disturbing when you use the phone a long time...
Could you post link to this ROM?
Are you sure it's Himalaya ROM?
yes I am sure that 2.20 is for Himalaya, I have installed it on my 2.20.
But I have erased it from my HD since it doesn't fullfil my needs....
I am going to see if I can get it again.
But onestly, it is very unstable. I don't recommend it....
Was it AKU 2.2 version?
look at this topic :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=39938&highlight=2+20
they are talking about the 2.20
LOL, i was talking about WM5
OK, I understood :lol:
WM2005 doesn't work well on Himalaya, I haven't ever tried it on Himalaya ! WM2003SE works well on himalay, it is sufficient for me.
WM2005 works ok on Himalaya, but slightly slower

This is the old Telestra rom date: 09/08/06 and which is available on the xda-developers ftp.
No new i-mate roms since then and it has the Telestra boot screen.
yes it's an old ROM but it doesn't have the Telstra boot screen.. well mine doesn't.

I Think Its The Best
Im From Israel And All The Phones Came With This Rom
The Extended Rom Full Of Many Stuff Thats Make It Slow
Not Reccomand
Well, I have been using this Rom for 2 days now and have to report it is my favourite so far. No hang ups, no lost GSM or UMTS - no reboot needed so far.
Blackberry works flawlessly, and the whole phone feels faster..
install with confidence
It may be better than what you had, but the point is that it's not new.
My replacement JASJAM, which I received two months ago, already had this version installed.
i purchased my jasjam last week of december, and since it had the arabic rom, it was outdated. So i just upgraded to this and device is more stable now.
but i think i might switch to the cingular rom next week.
other rom

i see every thing work very good with new rom

Read this page on differences between the AKU levels.
New i-mate ROM?
I-mate seem to have an updated ROM avaliable and I was wondering if anyone has tried it and their thoughs on it.
Main Rom the same 1.31.305.2
Radio updated to 1.21. .... from 1.20
ExtRom updated to ... .104 from 103
I'm not a cooker - happy to stay with std ROMs (I burn water when I try to boil it).
This is the best ROM till now. Has some issues but better than the WM-6, WM-5 Qtek, etc. Need an urgent small polished upgrade from I-mate and this will be the best ROM with speed and all else perfect.

Which version of I-mate if it is Telstra I cannot use it as we do not have that network here.
I check everyday on the wiki site but I-mate does not have any new version.
Please can you tell me whether you are telling about WM-6 other versions or the official version. If so please guide me to the exact location for the newer version.
