Help with DeviceData file

[cavagnaro]

Hi guys,
I have upgraded succesfully my QTek 9090 BA to WM6 following the wiki, have some issues with WiFi and would like to upgrade my ROM...I guess...I'm new on this PDA world so still confused with terms.

I'm following the Wiki and got stuck here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted#Howx20.dox20. Ix20.findx20.thex20.correctx20.upgradex20.ROMx20.t hatx20.willx20.workx20.forx20.mex3f.

My Device ID returns only:

P H 2 0 B W W E AT%CID?
 5 . 6 0 . 0 0 1.12.00 % 4

So for what I understand:

MOdel PH20B
Lang: WWE (English)
Operator: AT%CID?
Rom Version: 5.60.00
Extended Rom version: 1.12.00
Radio Version: 4

Is this correct?

If so, I don't understand if this: BA_WWE_BP_12200_169_10602_SHIP.exe would be good for me...
Can you please help?

Thanks!

The Devicedata file was need in the old days (WM2003).

Now on WM6 (and WM5) the file does not matter or make much sence.

BA_WWE_BP_12200_169_10602_SHIP.exe

This is a 2003 rom with the rom vesion of 1.22 (making it old even for WM2003 as 1.4 was the last I can remember), the Radio is 1.602 (which is even older than your 1.12 (1.15 is the current one))

Best bet for you is the WM6 rom and up your radio to 1.15 (wiki will tell you how).

Hope that helps

Hi! and really thanks! It confuses me how 1.6 can be older than 1.15...?? Anyway, I updated to Radio rom 1.15, however reading more I found that it has nothing to do with WiFi...
Now, I seems to be understanding more and more about the Roms, extendend roms and radio roms with TypeI and II.
I have been looking at the FTP site and what I still need to understand is what Rom to use...how do you difference those codes? I'm using rar 20226...is this ok? Any newer ROM or more stable?

And what defines the WiFi driver? The ROM itself? I have the problem that my WiFi signal is very poor...

Thanks again

There are a few thiings that are wrong with the BA as it is end of life and if it was not for XDA-Devlopers it would be dead.

Wifi has its issues there is a work around and that has something to do with the way you start it. (to be honest I can't remember what you have to do but search will help)

Bluetooth is the other know issue, if you don't want to make friends then the best way to do this is post a "My Bluetooth does not work thread". That a low post count will get you flammed at big time.

The Type I and type II roms were based on the format of the roms and the tools we used about 3 years ago. Some smart guy worked out you could bypass this whole porcess (the checking of the country code) by using a flash program form some other HTC device.

So by the time WM5 came out then the "on id exe" solved that issue and we have been using it ever since.

The radio you talking about is 1.06, if you want to look at some of the roms we had found and posted on the FTP (unitll M$ got us to close it) then try this link.

Extra rom was a carrier based issue (wiki has a whole section on it) however WM5 and WM6 did not use the same system so the space was reused for the rom (is one of the steps in the upgrade process).

As for the best rom, this is up to you.
Xplode used be active and now its Sun_dream.
Both of these guys know there stuff and have my Full respect.

Have fun
