Pedro,

Trying to help, but really confused...

You're in the UK, so I assume you got your V1620 from them. I'd never heard of that, so I typed it in their web search engine and it comes up with... nothing...

You list your device as a PH20B2. That's what I've got, and it's a Blue Angel, so replacing it with a QTek9090 is pointless as it's the same thing!

VF UK did rebadge the Blue Angel (aka QTek 9090) as the VPx, starting sometime around a year ago, but only users who berated their lack of a PDA strategy seemed to get one. As you can see, it still has never made their website, comes up as unknown.

For your info, if you go to the xda-developers Blue Angel site, use the QTek 9090 1.40 WWE ROM (which includes the 1.12 radio). I can confirm that that worked on my PH20B2.

One quirk I'll also alert you to is unlocking. First, check that your unit is indeed simlocked, as some weren't. Second, "maimach's" universal unlock code works with PH20B1's but not the (seemingly rarer) PH20B2's.

FYI - I'm having some difficulty with the 1.13 ROM update, but that's a minor irritation, and probably something I'm doing wrong.

Hope this helps.

Well I have a Vodafone box with Vodafone labels all over it and all the details say it is a V1620.

As did the brochure.

But talking to anyone at Vodaphone about it is a total waste of time.

The problem is I am not savy when it comes to these updates.

I need something REALLY simple that says 'install this' and it will all work.

I have not seen that yet for my device.

Oh it IS simlocked to Vodafone but I don't care as I am ON vodafone.

OK, first port of call is:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade

Have a good read of the how to's... print 'em...

I selected the Qtek 1.40.147 download, as recommended by 'jbn' who gave me the confidence to do it (top bloke).

Just follow the instructions...

Make sure you back up everythin before you start as it wipes the PDA.

Also, write down the Vodafone GPRS/CSD settings etc. Saves a call to VF helpdesk...

Takes 10 mins. Well worthwhile...

Any yes, Vodafone UK did release a device they don't understand, are too afraid to market mainstream, don't have anyone to support, and don't provide updates... There's no sign of a specialist internal tech group, despite months of trying. Something to remember when your contract is up.

I'm not bitter, but I was a little bent out of shape till I discovered this site! Now I'm OK.

Pedro,

Nice job. Before you go set the thing up just so, try and add the Radio 1.13 ROM, as it requires a hard reset. That will save you wasted time. Let me know how you get on. br
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Pedro Goncalves:
Okay have not done Radio 1.13 ROM yet oops, need to look into it.

Thanx for the reminder - any ideas on how to add it on it's own or do i have to do the whole process again? :(
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bosseye:
You can just add it on its own - as in the Wiki link I sent you. I have not done this yet, as I made the mistake of putting everything back as I liked it after the 1.40, then realised the Radio ROM required a hard reset. Planning unfortunately really was the last phase of implementation!

br + good upgrading.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jbn:
Thanks bossye.... :D

There seems to be no plan by Vodafone to upgrade the VPx or V1620. Development of WM2003 does not have much priority compared with WM5 and there is precious little chance of them providing such an image for these models. Personally I am not yet convinced that we are missing anything there.

As noted, although these are the PH20B2 and differ slightly from other models that are more widely supported on this site (for example the SP unlocker does not at time of writing handle this model, but you can always ask), the generic images for iMate PDA2K and Qtek 9090 seem to be reasonably OK. I have tried both and currently run the PDA2K image. However I did not bother with the radio upgrade. I would only be interested in solving the problem of echo when used with Bluetooth car kits and this is not solved with that upgrade according to most users.

Pedro, the upgrade steps are documented in Wiki, including the use of the MaUpgradeUt_NoID.exe. This may save you some writing. :)

Hope this helps.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Pedro Goncalves:
i can't upgrade the Radio 1.13 ROM or anything now it's not accepting anything, it just says congratulations and do a hard reset but everything remains the same.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] bosseye:
Jbn / Pedro,

Itsme has just updated the unlock tool such that it now works on a PH20B2 - and I can confirm this does work (you have to run it twice).

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] stephenw10:
Hi,

Sorry to dredge up this old thread but you guys seem to have all the information there is on the V1620.

Having previously owned an Orange SPVM2000 I snapped up the Vodafone V1620 when it was offered to me. I thought they were essentially the same unit (with a different facia). However the Vodafone unit which is a PH20B2 doesn't fit in the car cradle I had for the M2000. It seems to have an extra notch in the bottom multiway connector.

I'm wondering whether this was just a marketing ploy to get Vodafone users to buy accessories from only them or whether the connecot pin-out is different. If it's the same I'll just modify the car cradle to fit but I'd hate to let out the magic smoke!

I've searched everywhere I can think off for an answer to this (incliding the wiki!) but to no avail. :(

Any help/experience on this matter is much appreciated.

Steve

P.S. Is anyone running a WM5 Rom on a PH20B2? Which one?
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] jbn:
I have no experience with the SPV M2000 but officially they are the same. However, you may get more luck posting in the Blue Angel Accessories sub-forum.

Sorry, cannot be more helpful.

can anyone tell me if I can change the font size ONLY in the 'Messaging' app? I'm using CM10.0 on a Samsung Galaxy Exhilarate SGH-i577.

I'd like to keep the current LCD density, and 'Font Size' and all that, yet change (increase) the font size JUST for the Messaging app.

is this possible?

(I keep reading about "pinch to zoom" within messaging, but it appears that doesn't apply to Cyanogenmod 10.0, or 4.1.x...)

related: I only upgraded this phone a week ago to Cyanogenmod 10.0 - but I see that a variation of 10.2 is available now for the Galaxy Exhilarate- should I just upgrade to that?

if that would solve this issue, and still be completely and totally stable (the most important thing to me) then I'd go for it..

thanks for the great forum.

[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] babyarm85:
what i'm basically asking is for devs from now on to release all roms with .tar.md5 (odin) files as an option instead of just zip files.

the reason i'm asking is because I would like to hook up my wifes phone with a custom rom but it is the newer s3 which for some reason or another (and I know i'm not alone on this) it will not take custom roms. it was a nightmare just to get twrp to work properly and even then after a rom flashes successfully it will be stuck on bootloop or freeze. to my knowledge there is no known solution.

the main one I am looking to get for odin would be the revolt rom. but others are encouraged to do the same. and I am sure I am not the only one who would greatly appreciate it.

I hope this message reaches the right people. thank you advance for any help that is provided.

p.s. I am not new to flashing. I know how to pretty much flash any rom to any phone as I have been doing it for about three years now and I am pretty sure the error is not on my part.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
This will not fix the issue with the new S3. Regardless of how you flash the aosp roms just won't boot it has nothing to do on whether they are in zip format or tar file format.

What you are requesting is not practical. The purpose of custom recovery is to flash custom made roms on the fly via a zip. People do not walk around with computers to allow them to flash roms via odin. And if hey did walk around with computers then that would render the smartphone useless.

The recoveries where modded so that storage would mount, which is what was affected originally, the only reason some tar files where made was due to this issue, if you could not mount storage you could not flash the zip. Since that has been addressed flashing a zip is no problem.

To resolve the issue it would take one of these new S3's to handed over to one of the developers to figure out what Samsung / Sprint has modified in order to prevent people from altering their devices.

Have a great day!
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] KennyG123:
Ummm...there is a lot involved to make a tar from a ROM zip. It is not a simple conversion. Not all developers have the equipment to do this. Let's not ask more from the developers than what they are already doing for free. I am sure the developers would have no problem if someone, perhaps you, can set up a linux box to create these tars and provide them for each of the ROMs.

And as Ed stated it will not fix the AOSP issue. What we have is the modified recoveries in the General subforum.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] babyarm85:
Well is there any type of data like a system dump I could perform that would allow the developers to figure it out? If I am able to help I will. But usually someone figures out a solution before I do.

And please define Linux box. Is that basicly a Linux installation to package all the files? If so I have the resources. I have tons of space and would love to help fellow android folks.
[Sprint Samsung Galaxy S III] Ragnar:
[MENTION=4921575]babyarm85[/MENTION] go to this thread http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?p=44262749 there are well recognized developers there waiting for someone to provide either information or a phone so they can figure out what has been altered. If we can keep all conversation of this topic there i believe we can accomplish much more. Kenny has already posted your suggestion of a system dump. There was one user who said he was willing to send his device as he had a backup device to one of the developers. But then backed out.
