Best ROMS for PDA2K and for a beginner

[Robster]

Hi

I am going to start using my PDA2K again as a temporary replacement for the Vodafone V1620 I am giving up on.

My PDA2K has the 1.4 rom with 1.12 Radio.

BEFORE I go to all the trouble of reloading all my programs, data etc.

Should I be doing any upgrades?

And is there a real 'stupid persons' guide to doing the upgrade?

Cheers.

Well yes I have been there.

But I have to be honest and say that much of it was WAY over my head.

All this talk of cooking this and that, external roms......

I am not sure I have seen an idiots guide and I REALLY need one.

I am not sure I have seen an idiots guide and I REALLY need one.

Well we have a page on how to upgrade to the lateest 1.42 rom which if followed is prity close to an idiots guide (bar the fact we have not mentioned that you need to turn on your pc to do it).

This will get you a rom that smeels of even stinks of t-mobile.
Maybe you can live with that (I have in the past).
If you can't then you need to learn about cooking your EXT rom.

UPgrading is not a past time that should be taken up by "Idiots" (your wording) as this can lead to a paper Wheigt that looks like a BlueAngel.

When I came to this site I had a German MDAIII running on a Swiss network. All I wanted was a god damm English rom which T-Mobile would not give me, I-mate how ever would.

This site has alllowed me to understand how to upgrade, given me the files to do this and answerd a lot of my question (only after I learnt how to ask them).

Given your situation with 1.40 and 1,12 radio I can only sugest that upgrade the radio (link in wiki ) to 1.13.

So far I have not seen any issue that have been fixed with 1.42 as in confirmed that they have been fixed. However If I was to falsh me device again I would use the 1.42.

Have fun.

hi MDAIIIuser,

I am on 1.40 rom now and still debating if its worthwhile upgrading to the 1.13 radio. What are your thoughts on this?

1.12 seems to work ok for me so far.

I thought for a simple solution I would upgrade just the radio and maybe the bluetooth.

When I followed the link on Wiki for radio 1.13 I got a .rar file.

What is one of these?

My PC does not have a clue what to do with it.

I have to explain that I am not PC computer literate being a long term Mac user that 'just works' some of this Windows stuff makes me want to swear. :o)
