Device Information - ExtROM version unavaible - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

Please help...
I've been upgrading and downgrading from WM5 to 2003, respectively. I've also upgraded my ROM version to 1.13.00.
I'm looking under Device Information and it shows:
ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radio version: 1.13.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: (blank)
I'm not sure why my ExtROM is missing if I missed a step while going back and forth from different windows mobile versions.
Please help. Thank you.

you should have a ms_.nbf file in your upgrade dir, if not then you won't get the extended rom

I got the same here.
Do we need the extended rom???
What does it do,I don't understand it that good.
Explenation please.

take care the 10th step, you should set the size for Extended ROM as 16348 (to copy file ms_.nbf later)
follow and finish this step (included A and B).
Have fun!!!

OK I am lost here, which ROM should I need

Hi Guys, I am sorry but I could not read the forum since a long time, I also tried to read as much as I can this morning, thread on rom version, but i am Confused
Which rom I NEED ? since actually I have
ROM Version: 1.22.00 WWE
ROM Date: 10/22/2004
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.22.126 WWE
It is a Qetk ROM WWE on a FRE Qetk
I would love to be up to date but could not figure out what rom to use
Thanks

looks like the only thing up can do is upgrade radio
your extended ROM is different from mine? you got a 162 and I got a 126, is there any big difference? Also regarding the Radio worth it to upgrade my Qetk?
Thanks

The way I understand it so far is that the version number of an exteneded rom is based on the carrier.
What I am saying is that just because I-mate has a Extrom 1.22.999
does not mean that it is higher than Qtek Extrom 1.22.111
all it says it that for I-Mate 999 would be a Higher version than I-Mate 1.22.555
What I have found out is that there are 4 types of cabs in the exteneded rom.
1) Upagrade and patches that build on the OS in this case 1.22.
2) Carrier settings, such as splash screens and MMS setings.
3) Free software such as zip and the PDF reader
4) Hardware upgrades like buuton9 which is only avalible on a Pocket pc that has a Hardware keyboard.
Thus my pratice is to leave the exteneded rom as is and cook it later.
Thanks so far since I don't have to complain of the present situation, I will leave everything as it is and wait for a new 1.XX rom

MDA III ROM 1.12.00 WWE, is the latest one?

Dear all
I wish to UNLOCK my extended ROM, get rid of any cabs and make full use of it as STORAGE MEMORY (for programs, etc)
Can you please point me a link for instructions and relevant application to perfomr such a task?
2.
Can you please also explain how to burn me a more recent English Firmware for both my ROM and Extended ROM ?
I currently hanve:
ROM 1.12.00 WWE
Roma Date 09/02/04
Radio 1.00.00
protocol 1337.30
ExtROM: 1.22 ITA (I need to change to ENG!)
Thanks

WMP 10 on XDA IIs

did anyone try to upgrade 9series to 10 ?
Would be nice but believe WMP10 on BA is only possible with a rom upgrade to 1.40 (this includes WMP10.)
Unless someone can hopefully point me out to be wrong there is not currently a way to upgrade to WMP10 without a complete rom upgrade
a ROM reflash is required.
mamaich had earlier provided an older ROM with WMP10, now the new 1.4 ROM has it inbuilt. worth upgrading..
anywaz, can't install wmp10 as standalone installation.
Ach, that's a pain.
I did upgrade to 1.40 but got more probs than worth.
Have reverted to original but with latest Radio and BlueTooth bits... I will update my details on here once I have finished fiddling...
Is there no way at all, maybe something extracted from 1.40, to install Windows Media 10 without Rom update?
Update my XDA IIs
I just got my very first Pocket PC. And I try to do a update on my software. So, where can i find the upgrade software? and how i know which one to pick?

Qtek 9090 upgraded to WM5, ExtROM version 0.0!!

Hi all,
I'm a newbie in all those technical questions. Yet, I've read a lot of valuable things at this forum and decided to upgrade my Qtek 9090 using IvanV4R3_RAMDisk32_1.11.zip.
Before I had the following parameters:
ROM version: 1.22.00 WWE
ROM date: 10/22/04
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.22.123 WWE
Now it has changed into the following:
ROM version: 5.03.02 WWE
ROM date: 03/02/05
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 0.0
Well, the device is operating but something tells me there's something wrong here...
Please advice what I did wrong - shall I update the ExtROM separately or what?
P.S. Oops, I've read somewhere here that in WM5 there's no ExtROM - maybe that's why the version is 0.0. Yet, I leave the question just to make sure this is right.
P.P.S. Sorry if this topic has been discussed somewhere, the intformation is so vast, I couldn't find that...
Ext-Rom is usually network or distributor-based customisation, such as O2's O2 Connect and O2 Active, HP's PhotoSmart, etc. Now, since this is an informal effort, there is no ExtRom
Thanx
OK, thanks for informing me!
I wonder if I ever need that ExtROM stuff then... Do you think it's useful and for what purposes?
Depends. Sometimes those "little extra tidbits" can help and be useful. Such as O2SMS Plus is sometimes useful, or O2 Active

If you have G3 Wizard you need to flash that ROM ftp://xda:[email protected]__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe and then you will able to flash any ROM, what you need
If you have G4 Wizard, you will need to cook you special ROM
Follow this instruction to get rid of the IPL and SPL part, then you'll be ok, there is no need for CID unlock. http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=56088&highlight=2+x
