Should I change my SDA Rom?

[Guest Hennek]

Hello!!

I recently got my T-mobile SDA (USA) and I want to know if I should change the rom! I do not use T-Mobile as a carrier, and I really dont care abaut the guaranty.

I actually have this rom:

ROM VERSION: 1.0.14.0

OPERATOR VERSION: 1.9.19.16

Radio Version: 4.0.13.20_01.09.00

OS: 5.1.70(Build 14406.1.1.1)

RIL version: 2.002

ROM UPDATE VERSION:

Operator: 5.1.70.14406

Manufacturer: 5.170.14406

Microsoft: 5.170.14406

Lenguaje: 5.170.14406

File SIStem: 5.170.14406

I am wondering which one is really my rom number??? and how do y know which rom is newer than other??

I will appreciate any help!!!

When upgrading don't be mistaken with trying to use ROMs for SDA devices from Europe as they are not compatible as they are a completely different device.

When upgrading you can use ROMs from i-mate SP5m and Qtek 8300 as for the need to upgrade it's not always worth doing as updates can be released to fix device and operator specific problems so unless you actually have any issues with your phone I would not update myself.

Not always.

Some ROM updates fix problems you didn't know you had in the first place. If it ain't broke, no need to fix it. :D

Some ROM updates change settings you didn't want changing. For example, you might have found an unlocking solution for your phone but the new ROM can't be unlocked the same way.

It is not so easy to downgrade to the original ROM so you need to compare the 'before' and 'after' situations before you proceed.

Hope this makes sense :)

i would keep the t-mobile sda rom. ive tried just about every rom on my phone and i liked the t-mobile one the most. the reason why is that it allows most stuff, and by that i mean windows protected content. (no not illigal content) for example if your into changing soft keys and shortcuts on your phone it's able to be done (remapping the camera button, voice notes button, t-zones button). stuff like that. also u can hold down # and your phone switches to silent. plus, if u live in the US and are used to 12-hour time, youl find that some UK roms only have 24-hour time.
