There exists an official 1.31 English ROM upgrade. It is called i-mate_PDA2k_Arabic_13100_112_10600_SHIP.exe and can be downloaded from Imate site. After installation you should edit extended ROM and remove unnecessary arabisation and operator customisations. With this method I've updated my device to:

Rom: 1.31.00 WWE

Radio: 1.06.02

Extrom: 1.31.112 (cooked)

Hi All

I think this 1.31 Smells funny.

If you read the post:

O2 - Malaysia - In English (WWE) 1.31.00 1.12.925 1.02.00

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=84909#84909

You will see that 1.31 reports a Exteneded rom of 1.12.925.

Should this not read 1.31.xx (looks like aleftover 1.12)

You will see that 1.31 reports a Radio of 1.02.00

This is the same radio as seen in PDA2k_CDLWWE_11222_169_10200_SHIP

Given the tools and passwords that we have the highst version is a OS 1.22 with Radio 1.06.02

*Cooked* - In English (WWE) 1.22.00 162 1.06.02

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?p=84107#84107

I have Pm'd benyeap to ask him what the os reports

Start\settings\system\about

Any body else with 1.31 can tell us if the OS Version is higher than 4.21.1008 (Build 14132)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] leochan2005:
The 1.31 WWE in my machine is 4.21.1008 (Build 14132). Although my extend rom is 1.31xxx too but some application inside was old such as the caller id without ringtone setting.

The radio is old too 1.02, but I have updated to 1.06.02 yesterday, works well...!!

I think the version in extend rom does not matter, and version of radio depends on the selling region of HTC group, I found that UK is also using 1.02 radio rom while the OS is 1.22xxx....

Do not think there is any direct relationship between version of OS, radio and extended rom
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] benyeap:
The OS is Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14132)

leochan2005 Asks:

Well I was hoping that a 1.31 would be a major OS upgrade thus the move from 1.22 to 1.31.

It seems that this is not the case since the os reports same version as in my 1.22

So it must be a Exteneded rom Upgrade.

For this we would have to have an updated Exteneded rom and compair that to the I-Mate 1.22.162

Info of which can be found:

As I mentioned before, I have upgraded my radio rom to 1.06.02 from 1.02.00 and using in Asia region. I do not know whether this is really true or not, before upgrading, my machine someimes ran very slow (slow response, slow screen changing), and sometimes slient on call or being call, my wife always could not hear me (she could hear a few words out of a sentence I spoke) when calling me at night.... after upgrading to radio rom 1.06.02, it seems to be a better couple with the 1.31OS of my machine. Not only no silient call or being call, full sentence can be heard now, but the machine runs smoothly - very quick responses and fast screen changing... Do you think combination of OS and Radio rom does matter in term of the overall performance of the machine?

I also do not know whether this is ok or not as I just used a radio rom from BA_FRA_BelDT_12202_558_10602_Ship, which I think is France rom but my OS is WWE and asia region operator ID.... (does not matter for the radio rom from different country, right?)

saw your extrom, needs cooking BIG TIME!

The way i see it is OS is current.

U cant cook the radio as u have no sim.

U cant delete the extrom as it remains RO.

So u need to cook your extrom.

4 non permant, run the cabs.

The only difference between 1.22 and 1.31 are ROM-intergrated bluetooth and video/audio/wlan driver updates so you don't need to install PDA2k_Bluetooth_Fix.CAB and alike, and waste your RAM.

The "Harrier PH20A2" & "VX6600 PH20A3" are device that have no SIM Note the Device ID!!!

I am sure that the radio has to be defferent. Were else would they code that.

I would think that if you dumped that Rom on a"PH2OB" your would turn it in to a Paper Weight on your desk and not a phone in your pocket.

I have had a look our FTP site and cant find any 1.31 Extneded Roms

Short Version: For a 1.31 I cant find much worth having and Zero worth upgrading to (but I am also in switzerland).

Given that Rom I would waste it, take the Imate, cook the radio and add my own Extened Rom.

But thats me! No offence just my feelings.

Now What I would love to see is a UK O2 1.31, this wont have the overhead and I think might add value.

Dear MDAIIIUser

Please take Mamaich's advice.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] HDuser:
Sorry but what would that be?

How to install radio only.

Not use roms on a XDII (which I dont even have)

Use i-mate_PDA2k_Arabic_13100_112_10600_SHIP.exe

The Fact that he confirms that ther is not much new in 1.31 over 1.22

Not to waste my rom space.

Not to use the harrierrom on a PH20B as its a different Device.

The fact that all arabic roms are WWE with custom cabs (A fact I did not know)

The fact that the 1.31 and Harrier IE are the same (which gives me the feeling that he can open native *.ndf)

So as you see GUEST

mamaich He has made very good points, Which I appricate and I have been able to learn from then.

Which alas brings me to your post

I am not able to see what advice I need to take.

Given the fact that I am working with a cooked radio and a cooked rom & I have looked at a 1.31 in WWE with no Arabic extras in about as much depth as I can.

Would you care to explain and also show your face

Ok im a newbie here sorry guys you will have to bare with me while i blurb some completley random junk into this topic.

I have an XDAIIs (02 UK) this is a blue angel? correct?

I have the ROM Versions listed in my signature. Im experiencing problems with a very bad reception through the Mic to the person im speaking to. apparently very crackly, even when i hold it a little away from me. Would the latest Radio Rom sort this? Can someone explain what the different roms do exactly? And whats the latest official ROM i can aquire for the forementioned XDA IIs? And what apps i will need etc.

The other question is, is there a way to stop the green flashing light without switching to Flight Mode, (reg hack maybe?) and is there a way to stop the device coming on and staying on when recieving a txt message or missed call? i have enabled the Password required, but if you dont constantly check ure phone it eats ure battery like no ones business.

The Radio 1.06.02 ROM

And my own extended ROM using a mixture from latest ROMs (BT 1.6.0.600 update etc!

Unit seems to run a lot smoother - don't ask why - could be something in the 1.31.00 main rom?

I have still had problems with poor mic volume (Reported by other party) and once I have had no audio through speaker at all - soft reset to cure.

To stop the LED flashing - go to regedit - \HKLM\Drivers\BuiltIn\NLEDMgr and alter the Index to 0 (This is from memory and might be the BWLEDMgr!). Soft reset the device after but note that this completely disables the right side LED from working for ANY alerts etc.

Thanks, i found how to sort the flashing LED problem shortly after posting, thanks anyway. The main issue is still with the reception that the other person hears when i call them. This can be to another mobile or landline, apparently i sound very crackly and broken, even when on full signal? Any ideas if a software update will address this? But saying that when i record myself using the record function i sound ok. Could this be a problem related to the IIs antenna maybe. Would be nice if it were to be software. What advantage is there in upgrading the extended ROM? what does that do?

Radio = Wireless and Btooth?

ROM = OS

ExtRom = ?

Anyone fill in my blanks? reading through other post it gets rather confusing! What do i need in order to change the ROM and do i have to unlock it or something first? Is there any real need to update yet? I mean i have noticed a few bugs but nothing Hugely major.

Radio = ROM for the GSM part of device. Deals nothing with bluetooth and wireless. If you have communication problems, reflashing it to a newer version may help.

ExtRom = a hidden built-in storage (I don't remember its size, probably about 16mb) that contains programs that are auto-executed after hard reset. All other time this ROM space is not used. This ROM can be "unlocked" (made visible and modifiable), so you can add/remove programs which would be installed after HR, or use it like a "storage" folder.

Today, metroPCS announced compatibility with select unlocked GSM devices, and Nexus 4 is on the list as supported.

http://www.androidcentral.com/metropcs-now-welcomes-unlocked-gsm-devices-its-network#comment-616891

I have a few things I am wondering after hearing this news and realizing that they offer completely unlimited voice/text/4G for $60, while Tmo costs $70 for the same thing.

1. are they on Tmo's network yet?

2. is the '4g' service they refer to actually LTE, or is it hspa like Tmo?

3. what data speeds will I be able to connect to with my N4?

4. does metroPCS use band 4 for LTE? if so, is there a list of cities with LTE coverage available?
[Nexus 4 General] heat361:
1. I believe for this service they will be using tmobiles hspa+ network since they currently support CDMA.

2.4g is hspa+, I'm not sure about the lte.

3.standard T-Mobile speeds for hspa+ because they are more than likely using t-mobiles network.

4. It could be that they are using t-mobiles lte network along with the hspa network.

Also its only available in Boston, las Vegas,Dallas and hartford. They said they will add more cities in the future.

http://www.metropcs.com/metro/stati...pyourphone&int_camp=byod-hp-m1-spot=full=true
[Nexus 4 General] kzoodroid:
It's nice that MetroPCS is finally doing a bring your own phone thing instead of making you buy a phone as they used to do but it's still T-Mobile service which sucks here. And those cities listed are where T-Mobile already has LTE service up and running so they might be limiting this to where T-Mobile plans to bring in LTE. I also looked at the plans and while they are unlimited they are capped. For $40 a month you only get 500 MB of 4G(LTE) data but I can't find what speed it drops to after that, is it HSPA+, 3G, 2G who knows.
[Nexus 4 General] nelsonator1982:
This is a great idea for metro......I get really bad tmo service in my house might make the switch if the prices are on par.....
[Nexus 4 General] lowrider262:
I don't think its gonna make any difference if they're using t-mo's gsm network
[Nexus 4 General] nelsonator1982:
I'm hoping at some point they combine the networks
[Nexus 4 General] hp420:
hartford is a short drive for me to get a sim card at a local store. also, they are not on tmobile's lte yet. the only area in ct where it's on is stamford & norwalk, about an hour and a half from hartford. if it's tmo's network i would assume the speed after the data cap is 2g
[Nexus 4 General] kzoodroid:
They can't combine the networks as MetroPCS has no infrastructure of their own they use Sprint's network.
[Nexus 4 General] androidfoshizzle:
They already made a deal on May 1st 2013,..
[Nexus 4 General] cteneyck:
Not true. Metro PCS has spectrum holdings of their own that will be refarmed once they move their customers to T-Mobile's network.

Here is a good article that explains it

http://gigaom.com/2012/10/03/a-birds-eye-view-of-a-combined-t-mobile-metropcs/
[Nexus 4 General] bozzykid:
What? T-Mobile bought MetroPCS purely for their spectrum. Granted it will take several years before most of it is usable by T-Mobile users.
[Nexus 4 General] kzoodroid:
MetroPCS has limited spectrum, but their LTE is compatible with T-Mobile, 1900 MHz AWS but its very limited as to its coverage. Only in a couple, maybe 6, states and mostly large metro areas. They have like 13 MHz of spectrum in New York, Boston, Dallas, Miami, Detroit, LA and San Francisco which is still mostly CDMA right now. T-Mobile will be expanding in those areas but not elsewhere once they shut down the CDMA network. And for nationwide coverage MetroPCS was using Sprint's network which is who they have roaming agreements with.

One of T-Mobiles biggest problems of late was that it was bleeding subscribers which results in lost revenue which in turn lowers the stock price. Now all of sudden they've added 9 million new subscribers which in the short term will increase the company's revenue and thus its stock price. The limited amount of spectrum it gained will help it compete for subscribers in the large markets I listed above hopefully turning the trend around.

But if someone say from Chicago, or St. Louis asks how does this merger affect me the answer is it doesn't. MetroPCS has no spectrum there, or in about 95% of the country, so nothing changes.
[Nexus 4 General] Jayrod1980:
I disagree that this merger will prevent T-Mobile from buying more companies for spectrum. Given their small size compared to Verizon and att, T-Mobile should have no problem clearing anti trust hurdles with the government. They also seem to be now an american company with a majority stake owned by the German parent. I may be wrong but I think before it was just a whole German subsidiary of Deutsche telecom. What I'm sad about is that they didn't merge or buy the wireless spectrum of dish network when that merger was a rumor. Perhaps the cost is too high. They have been bleeding customers for years now but have always been a profitable company. They got enough spectrum and money from the failed att buyout agreement and this metro PCs buyout to roll out a great lte network but I don't understand why people don't realize how good their hspa service is. Att is very slow and clogged and Verizon rarely gets better on lte with their congested network. Never mind the 50+ dollar difference in price per month. I just don't understand why T-Mobile can't make more traction. Maybe with the top tier phones they have been getting as of late and the iPhone will ultimately help their bottom line. I really want to see them expand as long as they don't raise prices too much.

Hopefully their next move will be to buy up spectrum or towers in areas with no coverage previously. I would be more than happy to get plain old 3g service in the more rural areas that are stuck on edge like New York (upstate) and other spots in the north east.
[Nexus 4 General] hp420:
I agree....their hspa+ isn't half bad:

I still can't believe I'm only paying $30 a month for my plan with 5gb data! People are blown away when I tell them that. Even though it only includes 100 minutes, 10cents a minute after that is still a pretty good deal, unless you use like 2000 minutes a month usually. After the month's up I usually average about $45 between the base price and extra minutes. This month I topped up early because I killed my 5gb in about a week lol. Even after it cost me $60 this month, I still saved $30 over what I would have spent if I had stayed with sprint.
[Nexus 4 General] QUIETLYloud:
considering the cities cited metro will be on its own network(the northeast was recently built out new about 4 yrs ago). Hartford, New Haven and Springfield network was built by pocket wireless before they were absorbed by metro... I'm pretty certain the network in New England is capable of delivering 4g lte
[Nexus 4 General] plasticarmyman:
Metro is going to be gone by the end of next year...i just came away from them to come on to T-Mo...their network sucks ass..and so does their customer service...

I will stick with T-mo instead of going back to MetroPOS
[Nexus 4 General] Gorjira:
I agree with you about the HSPA+ speeds. I'm in an HSPA+21 area and my highest “down" was 13 Mbps gotta love Build Prop tweaks! I work with a couple of people who have Metro PCS and none of them recommend it. Their “3g" is terrible and even their LTE is under par. America has become so brainwashed with 4GLTE being the best thing since sliced bread, that they're not reading into or even trying out T-Mobile.
