David that was useful because I found a standard 1.12 radio rom from your link which allows me to easily revert back if need be.

As I understand from the Wiki there are two types of Radio ROM type I and type II. For example the required radio rom for win6 upgrade is 1.15, which is available in Type I and Type II. My problem is I cannot find information which tells me how to identify which type (I or II) of upgrade Radio ROM I need for my PDA2k. Getdevicedata seems to omit this info.
Cheers,
Alistair.
PS thanks vm for taking the time to reply.

Actually found the answer within the wiki (put my jolly glasses on):
NOTE: This ROM is prepared for use with Blueangel models PH20B.
It should work on all PH20B models - See your GetDeviceData.txt or edit your fix.bat as needed

Still don't know how to determine type I or II but never mind.

I've found out that Type I and Type II ROM are similar but Type I uses MaUpgrade.exe and needs editing, whereas Type II uses MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe and no editing, or to put it another way quote: Type I and II radio roms are the same. The only thing is differnt is the format of the file. Type I need to be fixed with edit.bat and the xda tool, Type II you use with the NoId tool.
Type I roms use the nbftool to fix them with the data out of devicedata.txt.
Type II roms use the ma_no... tool to bypass the country code error.
All of the 1.40 roms are type II. there is however a type I conversion of a 1.40 rom on the avlible roms wiki page.

Contents of the archive reveal the different files within. So the bottom line is that eg a PDA2k can use both Type I and II but with I you need to edit the file according to your deviceid and Type II you dont. Currently Type I and Type II radio ROM V1.15 are most recent BA and suit both W2003SE and WM5/6 o/s.
Also it would seem that file 'BA Radio 115 THIS WORKS.rar' is the easiest and best to implement.
Anyone beg to differ please correct me by follow up post thanks.
Alistair.
