hi group,
Can anyone tell me what is the latest ROM available for uk o2 xda2s. I have recently swapped my xda2 for 2s but am disappointed by it being slow and freezing quite often.Wonder if it is hardware problem or software problem. Want to check if i have the latest software before complaining to o2. My present rom version is 1.12.62 WWE and radio version is 1.02.00.
cheers

XDA IIs ROM Update works only for UK???
Dear All
I've come across the latest available ROM update for the XDAIIs on the UK site of O2.
ROM Version : 1.31.139
Radion Version: 1.06
It claims that it works only on the UK and Ireland version of the O2 XDAIIs
I have bought my XDAIIs from Malaysia and am am afraid that I might end up damaging my device if I install this ROM update.
Can anyone guide me on this and also let me know how to back up my present ROM. I've tried the romupdate.exe ROM backup software but seems that it can't detect the \\.\WCEUSBHS001 port which it needs to open to connect to the device on the cradle....
Help Please !!!!!!!

I have just tried to install this rom upgrade and my XDAiis stuck on a dark screen with USB and V2.06 written on it. It has now gone back to O2 to sort out.
Just thought I would warn people before they decided to go down the rom upgrade path.
XDA IIs Upgrade
Take a look at this thread for some experiences in loading and backing up fpr the latest O2 update for the XDA 2s.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/vie...ostorder=asc&highlight=o2+xdaiis+rom&start=25
A couple of things I would recommend for the 1.31 WWE version:
1. Install it in "corporate mode" See link above (page 2) for code you need toward the end of install. Corp mode excludes O2 Active software from the install, which makes the device slow and unstable.
2. Keep the number of Today Plug ins to a minimum. Pocket Plus and Battery Bar both seem to conflict with the device and cause more freezes with this ROM. Hopefully the next version of the ROM will be more compatible with these apps which worked well on my old xda 2.
3. The abve thread has a few folks trying to use this on Asian units, Not clear if anyone has been successful..
If you really want to get the latest and greatest, the companion site to this forum wiki developers of course has "all you need to know about building your own ROM, but were afraid to ask"
Hope this helps

Hiya all,
Does anyone know if I can use the Orange SPV-M5000 ROM update on my T-Mobile MDA-Pro (and get rid of the T-Mobile simlock )
Thanks!
Yes you can use it on your MDA but you will not get rid of your sim lock

Bummer.... :? just hoped it would be simlocked for Orange then 8)
Just wondering if the phone has been unlocked would updating to this new ROM re-lock it? Is it worth updating to this ROM, I have 1.13.49 WWE.
No I don't think so from what I have read and understand the program that decides the simlock has nothing to do with your OS ROM. But as I have mentioned in previous posts I think the I-mate Rom is so much quicker than the Orange rom.
I have a 24 months UK warranty with orange just wondering will upgrading to the imate rom void the warranty? Should I stick with orange to keep the warranty?
Cheers
I think you will void your warranty by upgrading to imate ROM. However if you download the Orange ROM also if there is a problem with your handset you could always put that back on. I have had my M5000 about 5 months and it already has been through 4 ROM updates to find the best. If the worst happens when you update your ROM give HTC europe a call. Someone in an earlier thread said they charge £40 to reflash for you.
Hi folks,
I was wondering if anyone has the _phone.bin file containing the i780XKHA3 phone ROM for the Samsung i780.
I was just like reflashing it to the original shipped version, since I now have i780XIHA7 as the phone version and I have no idea if that is ok to have alongside my original XKHA3 PDA part.
Would be much appreciated!!
Thanks.
AFAIK, at the moment the only complte rom available on the net are the italian HA7 an the English HC4.
BTW the ha7 phone has saved from the trubles hundreds of users from england to singapore, so no I guess no problem in holland too.
At th moment Im using the HC4 phone with the HC1 (italian) PDA and all is smooth.
anywhere i can find the ha7 phone? haha or before you update your rom could u dump it so we can revert back once we make all the changes we all like to make?

Problem with upgrade with official updater(i780_PDXHLA2)

I have a UK MDA Compact IV running the official 1.37 rom, I have read through some of the threads posted here that some users were getting back their UK MDA Compact IV's from repair center with the new Tmobile 1.93 roms flashed on there. I was hoping there was a dump of this rom somewhere? Tmobiles UK site doesn't even have the phone listed in the support section! Any help would be appreciated.
it'd be nice to have this as well, as you said, t-mobile lack any kind of support or mentioning of the phone on the site
Strange, in the past 2 weeks ive bought 2 MDAC's (one for me and one for the missus) and both came with 1.37.
T-Mobile UK reply
Just read this thread and there answer that I received from T-Mobile UK about update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443465
= (
Yeah uk t-mobile is so behind the other countries t-mobile
My MDA went in for repair for camera fault and came back with 1.93 (and still had the camera fault) they have now given me a replacement phone with 1.37.
The short while I had 1.93 it seemed much quicker than this so would also be interested in the new one if any one has it?
Also spoke to T-mobile they replied with "Not aware of any update" most helpful.
My wifes T-MO compact IV went in for a screen repair, came back repaired looking brand new (same IMEI), but it had the 1.93 rom and 1.00.25.16 radio ROM on it. Yet my new handset came with 1.37 ROM and 1.00.25.03 radio ROM.
Tmobile official "German update" is avalaible throu download from t-mobile.de
think its the same for your MDA version its 1.97 already, also 1.93 is avail !
So try your t-mobile site -> Buisness center -> support / Downloads -> select you MDA Vendor select "t-Mobile". There you should get Official update, no need of an HardSPL and no warranty lost.
Also when i go to tmobile shop i can get them to update my device cost free here in germany, normaly takes them 3-4 hours then you can get ur device back
Is it possible to change the language of a stock ROM? i.e. Update to the latest German Compact IV ROM then change the language to English?

Nope I guess not. Besides that every language has it's own Manila-version so if you were able to change the system language there would still be the german manila.
i ve tried the german update and even though i have
no idea how to cook a rom and i can imagine that
this is really hard and time consuming work i really
think pupils on the lowest school grade could have
made it much better than tmobile. its that much laggu
that its realy not funny using this rom. but for
suppprt and warrenty i agree it might be usefull
having an original rom
Yeah, we just need one of the lucky few who actually get their phones back with the uk 1.93 rom to dump it for us.
I dont know why T-Mobile UK are dragging their heels. They hardly ever issue new ROMs. Vodafone UK have issued not one but two ROM updates for their Diamond.
After Sales Support at T-Mobile UK = "Get a new phone"
Even T-Mob.cz have a new ROM.
T-Mob UK want to force people to resort to illegal ROM updates.
If any T-Mob UK execs read this forum..... Please wake up and support the people who are bringing in your bread and butter

http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/dm_compact4_sw.html
click the line of text that says "Click here to download"
if you have problems, pm me, i think i have it on my pc.
Cheers. Got it. To be honest I gave up looking for it there as it seemed they were never going to release it. Just thought I'd give it a whirl see how it compares with Shaks rom
Has anyone tried the Official Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM Upgrade for the i780? It is found at thi link:
http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/i780/index.jsp
You can use "BVHF1" as the SGH-i780 Version. It also has a link for the samsung drivers for windows vista. Down below there is a button "View In Detail" beside [ Upgrade Instructions ], if you try to look at the screenshots, it says SHG-i780 6.1 OS Updater on the title bar.
According to some forums and reputable websites it is the official 6.1 upgrade for the i780 but the problem is it is only for Italy, Nordic and UK. I'm wondering if it is compatible with the asian versions of the i780. Is there a difference with the physical keyboard?
I guess it's not that important anymore since Windows Mobile 6.5 will be released sometime Q3/Q4 of this year. There are phones already manufactured for WM6.5 and pictures are already out in the internet. I'm not sure if it's legit but looks like they are. At least there's an official WM6.1 update for i780.
Wm6.1 upgrade
Hi
I tried this, but my version is DXHA1, its unbranded.
When io downloaded the software using your instrcution, and I ran it, it said incorrect version
Help
any idea when comes german version ?
Samsung i780 Official WM6.1 ROM
Ok, I called Samsung, its only for orange customers no one else
It is possible to flash Orange Rom
You have to Hex edit official rom with the country/operator specific code of your current rom. That way, when you are flashing Orange rom it will think that you have the future version of you current rom and it will not complaint.
Search forum. You may use Hxd (use this as a keyword for search) editor or another hex editor.
I used Orange rom for a while. It has improved battery life over V5X HH5 (EFN Rom) however no messenger and other preloaded goodies of v5x hh5.
BTW there is a newer (official) version than the orange rom. Just peek at newer threads.
alpusm
This is so lame
I bought mine unlocked off of expansys, and therefore the stupid update download tells me it's the wrong version. If I flash it with the Orange rom, will I have problems with sim locking or anything? I hope the installer doesn't have the same restrictions.
I can't believe I pay full price for a phone and get this sort of service.
No problem
You may flash with the Orange rom or never HL1 or HL2 rom. Updater is available here on forum for these roms. Like I said before you will need to hex edit rom files to be able to flash. Or, as an alternative, you may flash one of the "modded" versions of those roms (bin files) with mirage updater (mirage does not check any code), then update with the original updater because updater will think that you are upgrading from the same operatoır/country code.
BTW you wont have any problems with sim or device lock. Mine was a generic unbranded WWE rom and updated/tried all these roms and did now have any lock problems.
what version do i have
what does one mean by version? i have an unbranded one. are versions things like suppliers? tmobile o2 and stuff
cheers
Version..?

Hi all,
my version is i780jchb1 (south africa). Can I install the UK rom on it please??
My OS is in Danish so i tried the link and chose Nordic, then it wants me to put in the phone model, so i do that and then it takes me to the official samsung page (samsungmobile.com) where the only thing i can download is the manual and activesync for windows 2k/xp.
