Yes it's making Progress.

Thanx to the list above, you can now install 1.40 with an good Extended ROM.

I've didn't test it yet, but it sounds promissing.

One little difficulty, i get a COUNTRY ID ERROR.

even after applying fix.bat. Someone got an idea :?:
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Cabrio:
Well, I had left out the Caller ID features from my list. Dont know why no matter which version I'd installed, it may works for the first few hours and then, for no reason it's gone. No matter it's older version or newer 1.20 at the latest build. Always find it having it's own personality... Had also tried PocketX Picture Contact. Nice program but I think it needs an update on it's speed and ocassionally freezing when picking up calls.

Also found there is really a difference in the sequence of running the cabs in config.txt. Anyone could shed some thoughts?

And talk about sequence, what about whcih program/link should run first in the startup folder. With MemMaid, you can arrange the order, and YES, it does matters! i.e. in a wrong sequence, some programs just wont load properly, or even freeze while booting...

Am here just tring to share my findings, with my consumed time, to save yours. Happy testing!

Update: My extrom settings are still running strong, and now I am starting to enjoy my BA. Finally..... :twisted:

New (?) problems- media player

Only once my phone freezed.

Then for only once i didn't ear what people says. Soft reset, and for now everything works fine.But notice one problem with media player.

First of all... i've installed betaplayer.

Don't know if it is because of that, but tried to listen some mp3 files, and the sound on earphones is terrible.

The singing guys look like girls when they sing... the girls look like opera girls... The sound is very bad.

Because of all the problems with freezing, made a hard reset without the mms and the audio patch.

Tried to load the old cab, but no luck... ba said: not an application designer for.

After i've instaled the audio patch, but no luck again.

So, dear users, why media player sound is so ugly playing mp3 files. And yes, also tried with betaplayer and the soound is ugly also.

Hoping some one can reply on this matter.

Re: ok happygoat

I have this same problem, at least with the camera, but, previously, I did not cook the Ext ROM. After following the instructions posted by, sorry, MII3USER, I know that it not just right, regarding the config. file to reset, only, the camera worked fine - sin ext rom - I cooked, by comparison of info on this thread, but I am a rookie, and all was well until I did a backup to retreive my contacts etc. . . Then, the camera gives me the same message as posted previously. I'm sure it is foolish logic on my part, - regarding the back up, but is there a way around this? My glasses are fogged, and I can't seem to see my way past this. Any suggestions? Manually replacing the info and programs seems the long way around, but it would probably work. Thanks

Re: Thanx

Check very carefully what your "Country ID" is in your DeviceData.txt file. For example, mine was O2___001 with three underscores, not just one. When you modify fix.bat, make sure the "-so" Country ID entry is exactly as it is shown in devicedata.txt.

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] TheLastOne:
qureshi, Intellidialer works perfectly for me. It's in my extended rom and installs just fine automatically.

If it's in your extended rom, make sure you put it's cab installer AFTER the Contacts cab, I think it does make a difference. Also check to make sure your config.txt links to the right place.

If it isn't in your extended rom and you are just trying to install it, you have to rename some dll files first before it lets you install. (ex \Windows\iacontacts.dll and \Windows\DisplayCID.dll)

I'm getting v frustrated trying to upload 1.40.00 onto my XDA 11s. First I was getting the "120" country code error so I entered the CHECKCEID line to the RUU.conf file. Doing that has overcome the country code problem but led to the next hurdle which is "100" model ID error.

Is there a quick fix to this like add another line to RUU.conf? Or is there another work-around? I would be v grateful for some words of advice. Thanks.

Hi All,

I thank for the wonderful ROM..I did upgrade few days back but could not find time to give feedback.

1.I foind Radio 1.12 unstable, as it made my PDA2k out of network, quite a few times, eventhough I was in network.So I downgrade to 1.10 Also, if you receive a call when GPRS is on, then GPRS disconnects and when you want to re-connect to GPRS, you cannot, unless you put OFF and ON the Radio.

Secondly there is still prob with the BT.PDA 2kdoes not wakes up when a call is recvd instantly and one has to frequently press the call receive button on BT untill the call is transferred to BT.Can anyone throw some light on this?

2.For those who are finding difficulty in incorporating Extended ROM, here is the easy way to do it with the exisitng Ext ROM files supplied.

a) First Just do the ROM Upgrade with the Radio and the Basic ROM.

b) The using the Ext ROM unlocker, unlock the Existing Ext ROM and using Active Sync, explore your device, access the Ext ROM Folder and delete all the files in it.

c) Now, copy all the files from the supplied Ext ROM into the Ext ROM Folder and Hard Reset your device.When your device Reboots, it will automatically install the Ext ROM and you can check the version update in the Device Information.

I hope, this helps

Sorry I'm new, and was wondering if anyone had tried the WMP10 on these newer ROM builds to see if it's supported by any of the $15/month music "rental" services that require Windows Media Janus DRM (PlaysForSure)? I'm referring to services like Napster To Go and the new Rhapsody To Go.

My i-mate JAM comes out of the box with WMP10 and seems to be recognized by Rhapsody To Go as supported, but Napster To Go strangely does not recognize it?

Both services fail to recognize my PDA2k because it only has WMP9 (ROM 1.22), but I'm hoping an upgrade to WMP10 will allow it to work with at least Rhapsody To Go...

http://www.pocketpcthoughts.com/forums/viewtopic.php?p=341008#341008

P.S. Does anyone have any idea when i-mate will release an official PDA2k GSM ROM update (hopefully to 1.40)??
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] far182:
I have both "Napster to go"(N2G) & "Rhapsody to go"(R2G). N2G doesn't nativily support PDA2k with the WMP10 ROM. You can downlod your files local and then open up Windows Media Player 10 on your PC and then Sync to the PDA2k. This works.

Yesterday I decided to try Rhapsody again (used to be on them, much better than Napster, but didnt have the DRM stuff). R2G works with my PDA2k out of the box. No problems at all. It works native. Its great!

I unsubscribed from N2G immediatly.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] bitequator:
Thanks for the good news far182 :)

I just talked to i-mate online chat support earlier, and the rep said their PDA2k GSM ROM update is supposed to come "SOON" (he typed soon with all caps), but he said the exact release date hasn't been decided. Can't wait... I guess I could also consider cooking up my own extROM and such like all you guys here.

It's too bad we can't get a built-in HDD (or a CF slot for a CF HDD) with our XDA devices. I'd bought us an iPod Photo (up to 60GB space) but it's useless for N2G/R2G. With our XDA PDAs we're stuck with just 1GB SD cards for now...

It's no 60GB iPod drive, but 2GB SD cards are widely available now. I just bought one from Dell for $128 USD.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] bitequator:
What the... :shock: Just a couple of seconds before I read your post (literally) I had searched PriceGrabber et. al, and saw NewEgg and eCost offering the SanDisk 2GB Ultra II SD card for about $180, but they won't arrive until early May next month.

I was going to wait and order that, heh. Talk about good timing, thanks. Would this deal require some (stackable) Dell coupons or such, where I'd have to hunt through the bargain sites?

Previously I'd bought four 1GB SD cards from NewEgg for around $80 each (Kingmax brand 60x-speed 10MB/sec)...
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] jpg71:
The one I got was regularly 180, but Dell has (had?) a 30% off storage sale so the price came down to 128.

I just checked and it appears the sale ended yesterday - not to worry though, it was 25% a couple of weeks ago, then 30% when I bought it last week, I'm sure it'll come back again. Just keep an eye out on techbargains - that's what clued me in.

And to keep this thread on track, the Sandisk 2GB card works fine with this ROM :)
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] bitequator:
Thanks again jpg71. I just saw that Dell Small Business is currently selling the SanDisk 2GB with 15% discount for $155 (instead of $182).

And I'd also just checked TechBargains front page (before reading your reply) but couldn't find mention of a current deal, oh well. I did see TechBargains mentioning the Dell 2GB for $145 on April 10, then $136 on April 13, and the 30% off on April 21, so I see what you mean...

BTW far182, I just noticed that Napster actually has a plugin component (separate from the stand-alone Napster app) which hooks directly into WMP10 on the PC. Using the plugin it looks like you can just use WMP10 for every function and disregard the stand-alone Napster app altogether?

(If your WMP10 shows the MSN butterfly icon on the top righthand corner of the window, you should be able to click on that and select the Napster online store instead, at which point it should prompt you to download the Napster plugin.)

So now, I'm still undecided whether to subscribe to R2G (using the Rhapsody 3.0 app) vs. N2G (using WMP10 app)...

I upgraded to the 1.40 ROM and the 1.12 radio on Thursday. I soon experienced the same problem with locking up my MDAIII when I pressed the end call button when a call was in progress. It definitely is tied to the Arcsoft MMS file, since it worked fine after I deleted that file.

Then I had a problem with my Battery Bar program and the hang up button (end call button) when I needed to shut off GPRS. I deleted the cproghook file and it worked fine again after that.

I also deleted the CV2.41.386 cab as it was the PDF and PPT viewer. No problems so far, and not even the "no sound" issue, which hasn't surfaced in 3 weeks since I deleted Vito Voicedialer when I was using the 1.33 ROM.

In summary, I deleted the following Cab files:

CAB-ArcsoftMMS-20022...

CprogHook.WM2003_2577

CV2.41.386_wwe

I also talked for over 3 hours continuously on it, and only stopped because my BT headseat's battery gave out. The battery indicator on the MDAIII still showed 50% left. :P
