I get 4 full bars almost constantly and thats good for where I live up in the mountans.....

hrm, i had read flakey things about radio 1.11. but that might be a good reason to try an AKU2 ROM while i don't have much loaded on it that i can't redo it in an hour.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
I tried the 1.11.00 radio on a pre AKU2 ROM (TMOB) and it was really flakey so I went back to the 1.06.00 radio, of course I was running the crappy TMOB 1.20.32 ROM so after I went to AKU2 and found the Vodaphone BB Software I decided to try the 1.11.00 radio again and to my surprize it works very well.

I did try out Ivans AKU3.2 Beta 7 with the BB connect software but it doesn't work no matter what radio you load. Now that I have found the best soloution for myself I will build my programs up on this current install.

Remeber though the different radio versions have something to do with what type of frequency your service provider uses, I think the 1.11.00 is 3GPRS so it should work worldwide
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
ah, true enough. my t-mobile service uses 1900mhz. i'm getting ready to install the O2BB build you did.

but mtty doesn't see my USB port today... blah computers...

blah, reboot still the same. god this stuff it torturous.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
eDon't forget to put the 1.11.00 radio file in before you flash!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
the only 1.11 radio i found is this one:

ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/Radio/Dopod_900_RadioROM_1.11.00.zip

is that the one you used?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tonyb15re:
just done the complete update all worked well, then tried to pair with my stereo headphones, I forgot that the O2 ROM doesnt support A2DP, what a crock, now doing update to QTEK rom..

Upside is BB software looks a lot better than the TMob stuff I've been running, bit confusing having the icon in the bottom tray instead of the top though..
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
ugg me too. but now i'll wait for too see what 1.11 radio will do for me. so far in my office i don't have any more bars than i did before. but install is pretty quick now. which QTEK rom file are you using? then i can pick the same.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
I think you might be able to install the A2DP cab from Ivans AKU3???

I don't have a stereo headset so it doesn't bother me not to have it....

Post up the QTEK ROM if you would be so kind
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
radio 1.13 is out too :)

or it was... now i can't find it!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
What ROM has the 1.13 radio?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
there was a post about a a new Orange ROM with 1.13... but i can't find it now. weird.

edit: here it is. must have been blind.

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=60965

whichever radio it is... i sure would like to get A2DP support somehow. maybe that QTEK rom (which ever one it is)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
I just got the QTEK and Orange roms will pick them apart and see whats the skinny on them
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
when i try to upgrade with the QTEK ROM i get:

the ROM is: UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE.exe

and I used the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe from the O2 files you uploaded.

this is just not my week!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
Sometimes you have to use the MAupgradenoid.exe twice
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
in a row? i spent all day getting the same error :)

just tried it three times in a row, no luck. also on different computer, with differnt ROM. so, which ROM was this built from? have you tried to load it yourself, and reload something else?

naturally there's no mention of error 105 anywhere here.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
I still have the O2BB stuff on my Exec, all I did was extract the 1.13.00 radio from the new Orange MV5000 rom and reflashed my Exec with the radio rom.

This radio rom seems to be no less than the 1.11.00 radio and maybe even a bit better. I will do a Sprite Back up of my current install and then load up the full Orange rom and add BB tonight.

if you want to IM me I am on Windows Live Messenger ID agilland@hotmail.com
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
ok fixed the error 150. i had to hard reset. now i have the QTEK ROM and the 1.13 RADIO installed.

now to get those bluetooth headphones!!!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
Ok the only good thing about the Orange ROM is the 1.13 radio, I loaded it up and the BB connect software and it does not work....

Going to try some things tonight with Ivans AKU3 B8 and maybe the QTEK ROM.

Skywriter do you have the version of QTEK rom you used?

Version number and date if possible... Thanks
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
Yep, i downloaded UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE.exe (02/20/06) then replaced radio_.nfb with the 1.13 Radio ROM from the latest

Orange ROM. seems to work ok. i haven't been in radio range yet. my house is a deadspot. tomorrow i'll get BB connect running. AKU3 would be intersting... but it's such a moving target :) i ordered my bluetooth headphones already (itech bluepro's), so i have to have A2DP now! :)

edit: Man i am so glad to be off that email redirector treadmill. they all seem to have either stopped selling to endusers, targeting carriers. or the they need to be managed by IT people because they problems require systems knowledge. i'm so glad to have BES without the blackberry. too bad contacts and tasks aren't synced. but i'm not getting greedy email and calender is all i really need.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
Yea I hear ya, try the lookup feature in the BB panel, it works great! That is my hard test to see if the BB is really working, if I can do a lookup and find my own email address then the BB is working....

So with this ROM (QTEK) the stereo Headset will work??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
Skywriter, when I install that ROM it say's I have obtained it illeagaly and then goes into a rest mode....

Any ideas on how to override??
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
with all the wierd things, i'm not suprised. this has to be one of the most flakiest machines to update i've ever seen.

a good hard reset seems to solve lots of problems. i got Sbp Backup before i did it to fix my ERROR 150. just in case it didn't work and i had to end up reloading the working configuration. i could save an hour or so.

when i finally had a sucessful install i was flashing with the 1.13 ROM and the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program from your O2 ROM. i used the bootloader upgrade method. do you get the error after it goes out for couple of minutes to see what the current ROM is then asks you in you want to upgrade, or the first dialog?

can we use the Orange ROM? that might be best if they have A2DP.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
I flash the QTEK rom, no problem, using the MAupgradenoid, I reset the device and it goes into the setup mode no problem it gets all the way through and just before it resets itself it tells me I have obtained the Rom illeagally and then it resets and starts the process all over again.

There must be something in the ROM that looks for a device type or signature??

We can't use the Orange ROM, the BB software doesn't work with it.

I think we are going to have to ask for help in getting the A2DP working with the O2 rom
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
then that's just after the ext rom cabs install. i wonder if it's clearvue pdf that's the only bundled app in the set that i know of. i-mate has clearvue pdf and skype, i haven't had a problem running either of those. i have the t-mobile branded phone that i bought from china, it was in a GR kit with WWE install of O2. i haven't seen that problem before.

what is the exact text of the error for searching?
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tonyb15re:
I downgradede to the latest official QTEK rom e.g. older file versions than those in O2 ROM, all works well now, I stuck with the 1.09 radio rom as I wasnt sure whether the 1.11 has a direct affect on A2DP, the Current QTEK ROM which I have is 1.30.77 with Radio 1.09 and EXT rom 1.30.176.

BB works well although I have had a couple of connectivity issues but that could be down to week UMTS signal.

A2DP works better than the TMobile verison I had previously, e.g. headset controls all work.

Downside is I have to delete and repair the headset before I use it, for some reason if I try to connect to Media Player after switching the headset on the track seems to jerk back and forward. I can live with this as the main use of the device is business and BB, thanks for this info guys, I hated the style of the Tmob ROM, Gay Pink is not for me :wink: I now have a decent Phone Skin etc.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
everything is working now. but when i went to reload the BB connect client software the .exe wouldn't execute. it would just popup for a millisecond. so, i had to load it from another computer. in the process i captured the .cab file. so, i'll keep a copy of this on my SD card for later.

other than that latest QTEK with radio 1.13 (freom orange) is working with BB connect software. now to play with it all day. yay!
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] FOSA:
RE

Sorry, do you mean BB cannot receive email over the air ie. must it connect to the desktop for receiving email?

Thanks :roll:
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
Re: RE

no, BB works over the air with GPRS. my problem was the installation .exe didn't work - so i had to use a .cab to reload the client software.

when you install the software, you have to be connected to the desktop with the exchange server/outlook access to generate the key. after that you don't need it for email and calendar unless something goes wrong.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] cvdbl:
What data connection are you guys using for this? Are you using your standard GPRS settings as data connection or did you have to set up a separate connectio0n for this.

I followed all the steps listed above, but my device always reports "not connected" in the BB connect applet. Though I can send/receive regular email (pop/smtp) and can access the web.

Setup:

T-Mobile MDA

2.26 TMO rom

wap.voicestream.com as APN for GPRS

thanks

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
i've had three ROMs, all use the 'blackberry' connection the BB connect sets up. thsi connection does not appear in the connection settings.

what ROM is 2.26? i think someone with a t-mobile rom had no luck in this thread. you might try a a different rom. the three i listed all work and are on the ftp.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
For the sake of clarity:

BB connect v2.1.1 that works with pre AKU2 roms (I think only the UK 1.2o.34 and the German 1.20.32) This software was originally built for the MDA Vario from T Moblie.

Both of those ROMs are very bad and un stable and it takes quite allot of work to get the BB Connect software to work on them, the radio's up to v 1.06.00 are the only ones that do work with those roms.

Now a few of the fella's in this thread have helped and found that with the Vodaphone BB Connect software v2.1.1.19 work with the Latest O2 rom and the Latest QTEK Rom that are AKU2. The QTEK is also A2DP which means you can use Stereo Bluetooth headsets. These roms can use any radio version so you have a wider range of radio's to choose from. The Orange MV5000 ROM has radio v1.13.00 I personally have used radio 1.11.00 and 1.13.00 and not found too much of a difference but you have to understand that the radio dictates what type of frequency you get. 3GPRS is 800 to 1900 MGHz GPRS is 1800 to 1900 MGHz so you need to know what Frequency your service provider uses. Most New Phones use 3GPRS.

I have also tried Ivans AKU3 Beta 8 but I keep getting an sddeamon error message during setup.... Have to look into that one.

Field Testing today with my O2 Rom with BB connect and radio 1.11.00 was excellent, I recieved every mail that was sent to me and my signal strength compaired to my Razor phone was about the same on my O2 Exec. The Vodaphone BB connect software not only works better than the T Mobile version it also has no branding and is easier to set up.

For those of you reading this thread you should know that to use this software you should have a Blackberry Enterprize Service running on your companies Network. As far as I know this program does not work like T Mobiles Instant E-mail BB connect or at least I have not seen that option. My Company uses BES running on a Lotus Domino server but the help file says it can be used with Microsoft Exchange server too.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
Anyone who is using Ivans AKU3 and trying to work out the Blackberry usage with it please post your findings in this thread. This will help keep the information on the same page and we will not bother the guy's over in the AKU3 Thread. maybe if we have something posative to add to thier thread but for now lets work it out here.

I personally have not yet gotten it to work.... but still trying...

Sky what version of Bootloader do you have?

I have 1.1 I have heard of thoers having 1.2?? If so where do you get that from?

This might be my problem with the QTEK rom
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
the application that comes up when you push "power+light+reset"? it's USB V1.00.

the BlackBerry apps are:

ActiveSyncInstaller2.1.1.9

BBConnect_PocketPC_BB_2.1.2.16 (Transport Version 2.1.0.63/System Version 189.118.59.239)

the full 'device information':

ROM Version 1.30.77 WWE

ROM Date 02/20/06

Radio Version 1.13.00

Protocol Version 42.47.P8

ExtROM Version 1.30.176 WWE

Some Observations that might narrow the field:

0) i use one of the ROM i listed, and my carrier is T-mobile.

1) From a bare ROM, I don't need the configure any data connections in start->settings->connections->connections (or any of those settings) to get the configuration that the BB connect uses (BlackBerry)

2) that connection in 1 above, isn't accessable in connections, or anywhere.

3) My SIM card was ordered by a t-mobile rep for me for BB7290. i used it with that until i got the UNI and the BB connectprogram, then i asked for a voice plan (the BB connect worked before the voice plan as well).

4) to get any internet connections (i don't use work connections) I had to configure a connection with an APN of WAP.VOICESTREAM.COM in internet connections.

5) if the 'WAP' connection is using the GRPS modem, then BB connect is block ("Blocked - radio in use").

6) using the Voice/GSM might cause 5 above as well (i don't use the phone often).

7) using a browser will cause 6 above

8) a automatic mail app might cause 6 above

9) acts of God have prevented use of the the BB connect program. in fact may prevent use of any program :)

10) YMMV

But I think for people that are using the same BES Server; if the hardware is the same (Universal), and the ROM Stack is the same, the data connection is the same, then the only thing left is the the application stack, and the way they are using it that is the problem. I've stripped mine down to the ROM and the BlackBerry Programs. Do that with one of the ROMs I listed and see if it work (it should). Then layer the APPS on top and check it out.

[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
Re: RE

you can extract the CAB file from the installation folder when it's running then put it in on your SD card and run it from there.

but you can't install the applicatoin on the SD car, it will hang the device and make it unstable.

Ok Kewl, I am still wondering why I get the message "You have obtained this ROM Illeagally" When I try the QTEK ROM?? Anyone else ver see this?

Sky, the difference between your setup and mine is only the type of BB server, You use MS Exchange and I use BES but they operate the same way.

Our Phones are the same so I wonder why I am not able to use the QTEK ROMS???

I'm going to download the exact same roms you have in your sig and try them out...

GR huh? well i always use WWE. this is the one i selected to install:

UNI_QTEK_13077_176_10900_WWE.exe

as far as i know the QTEK's are A2DP. i'll find out when i get my bluetoth headphone sometime this week. i don't know what the 'Ship' variation is.

i got my MDA off ebay from a guy that shipped them out of china. i got a t-mobile branded MDA with O2 WWE loaded. the kit seemed to be a german one though, and the packagine was in german, and the AC adapter was a euro with a domestic adapter. the manual was english though :)

i though the 'MaUpgradeUt_noID' loader was to get around country codes and stuff. but you're bombing out after the EXT ROM CAB's unpackage. i thought the noID program was just to get by the bootloader ID check.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
Yes yo are right, I bought my O2 Exedc from China too off of Ebay but it came stock with O2 ROM, it was never opened. The way you can tell if a rom is A2DP is you look in the programs folder and see if there is an ICON that say's Bluetooth Headset. I have not found any yet outside of Ivans ROMs

I can use a German ROM if I have to my wife is German and I speak it fluently but I prefer English roms.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
Ok I found the Imate ROM I was looking for, will try it and post up the results.

this is for sure and A2DP ROM.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:

edit: says - latest QTEK, and i-tech bluepro headphones. should work.

http://xdaforums.com/viewtopic.php?t=53431

also mentions QTEK dev-id and country-id problems. but not illegal stuff.

tonyb15re also posted in this thread that the QTEK ROM versions match the one i downloaded for A3DP support. hopefully it's the same country ROM :)
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] tonyb15re:
My ROM has been pretty stable for the past couple of days, the BB has decided to disable itself a few times when it cannot get a connection, the only way to fire it back up has been a soft reset.

The A2DP works ok but as I mentioned with the headset I have I need to re-pair every time I want to use it due to the audio going jerky when the headset is switched on normally.

The Headset I have is the Samsung SBH-100, coming down in price now http://www.mobilefun.co.uk/product/8832.htm
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
when it happens look in the blackberry connect client status page see if the 'service' field is 'block - radio in use'. this seems to mean something was using the gprs radio long enough for blackberry connect to give up on it. usually you can press [reset] a few times and it comes back. a softreset does it too.
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] Hang|man:
I guess I was wrong about the A2DP roms showing the Bluetooth Icon, it seems that only Ivans rom does that. If anyone has a stereo headset could you try the O2 rom and see if it works?? I was starting to think that the A2DP roms were messing with the BB software but it may be a simple issue of CAB files that could be sorted out and loaded into any particular A2DP rom.

Right now I have of course the O2 Rom (Newest) , the Vodaphone German, Imate Jasjar and the QTEK roms that are A2dp working with my BB BES software. Only problem I have is no Headset to try them out with....

Going to order one but I need to research which one is best...
[JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro General] skywriter:
msahni the problems are similar to many mentioned here:

1)

disappearing folders every hour or so, reappear where mail account deleted or remade

- this was posted on the thread, no solution found yet. your email account (gmail) is interesting. are you using something like the blackberry internet product? i am using blackberry enterprise. this might be the difference. i've tried three ROMS and none of them has had this problem.

2)

service stops when phone radio in use, doesn't restart afterward. has to have a soft reset to start it

- i have a similar problem, but i can use the status->restart to get it to go most of the time, else it requires a soft reset as well. i only use the phone once or twice a week so it's not a big deal to me. my MDA is a PDA first, phone second.

3)

client software disappears when MDA is put in different power states

- this is similar to the behavior i had when i installed the BB connect software on SD flash. if this is so, then please remove it, and reinstall on main memory. it's extremely flakey on SD. if this is the case it is probably what is wrong with most of your problems.

can you please verify the your product is blackberry internet? i would like to try the gmail problem, but i don't know how to get gmail to work with my SIM, or even if it's possible. my SIM was configured by my company. i can't change it :) or even look at it!

------------------------------------------

edit:looks like i can't use gmail. i don't have a blackberry internet account. they don't have them on blackberry enterprise product, you deal with your own IT people. they set the SIM and BES service up when i had the BB7290. i just moved my SIM over to the new handheld.
