SX66 question

[sifuhall]

Hello all.

I just found this place and it's great!

I am in the USA and I have a Siemens SX66 with Cingular, running the default ROMS.

I've read there has been issues with with WM5 and others seem to not have any trouble.

What ROMs should I upgrade to?

From links here I also found: http://sx66-blueangel.home.comcast.net/
Are system ROM 1.40.00 and Radio ROM 1.13.00 my best options?

Thanks again, this is really a great site!

I personally would suggest applying the standard and extended ROM's from Chris' SX66 (Blue Angel) Standardization Project which you referenced, then upgrading the radio to 1.15. WM5 is cewl looking and the persistent storage can be a life saver. I go back and forth, probably more than 30 times, hoping that one day the speed and reliability will come through. Being a corporate geek / consultant that hates crackberries I dream of true push mail. However I'm so dependant on Microsoft Voice and my BT that I keep going back to WM 2003, Chris' ROM's being the best.

Best of luck to you in whichever way you go.

btw, Cingular is releasing the 8125 this month! YIPPEE !!!

I recently upgraded to 1.42 with my own Extended Rom. Since then (probably two weeks ago), I haven't had to reset my phone for one-way sound, wifi not wanting to turn on, bluetooth insufficient driver memory or any of the other minor problems that forced me to reset my phone at least every other day with the 1.40 rom.

If you are going to try the upgrade, copy this extended rom to your device, then use the BA_TMNL_14200_115_11300_ship upgrade (delete all nbf files except nk.nbf). I was able to use the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe file to load this rom. I think I had to run it twice (first time it puts the device in bootloader mode but gives error, leave it in the bootloader mode and run it again.)

BTW, I had already upgraded to radio 1.15, so you might want to do that first.

Hmmm. FTP not working for me from work, I'll upload the ExtRom tonight and update this post.
