I have an XDAII and am with O2 and wish to change to Orange.
I was going to buy an XDAIIs from Orange but reading about the problems I think I will stick with what I have.
Having read most of the posts, version numbers are spinning around in my head and I am thoroughly confused !
I have:
ROM version 1.60.00WWE
ROM date 12/03/03
Radio Version 1.10.00
Protocol Version 1337.18
ExtROM version 1.60.50
Will the latest unlock program work ok for me ?
Would it be better if I updated to the latest ROM first ?
Can I continue to used my O2 SIM card once I have unlocked whilst I wait for my Orange SIM card to turn up ?
Are there any issues with using the XDAII with Orange ? Does anything which worked with O2 suddenly not work anymore with Orange ?
Can I use a Pay-as-you-Go SIM card with my XDAII and (providing I have GPRS bolt on etc) does everything still work the same ?
Cheers and many thanks to W4XY for all his obvious hard work
If you are thinking of upgrading your ROM, why not just reflash it with Orange configurations and save messing about! Just check the country code before you flash and all should work perfectly. If you are in the UK, there is a customised version of the Ext ROM for 2003SE here:

Hi Fin
I am in the UK
Are you saying I don't have to unlock it if I do this then ?
i think you should go for a normal unlock procedure and after the procedure is complete your pda is unlocked and everything remains the same only change is that you can use any sim other that o2 after unlock.
for unlocking of xdaII follow this link

Hello,
Since couple fo month I have a QTEK 2020 and I live in belgium.
I can t find a web site for upgrading my belgium qtek.
Does someone know when the windows mobile seconde edition will be available in belgium.
Best Regards
Michael
I don't think the SE will be available but the latest ROM (1.66) should be available at an official Proximus reseller.

where can I find IT on the web?
Hi,
What ROM-version and Radio-version do you have now?
Sam
You can also use the T-Mobile ROM, as I do.
It recognizes Base as Base and not as Orange, like the Qtek ROM does.
Grtz,
Jos

Hi,
I upgraded my Qtek 2020 with the roms from xda2jojo.
If you just use his nk.nbf and radio.nbf, you can upgrade to rom 2.06 and radio 1.18, while keeping your original extended rom.
ok thanks,
i ll try to install an english 2.06, i dont really care about the extended rom version. I just need to get it work properly with proximus sim card.
By the way can you provide me the configuration for the internet acess and mms acess for the proximus network ?
Thanks for help.
Best regards

Dear All, my name is Carlo from Rome, Italy.
I just got an O2 XDA II (O2 UK version i think) second hand off a local italian forum member (www.telefonino.net).
Cool unit I already love it !!! ;-)
I currently have:
ROM VERSION 1.60.00WW
ROM date: 12/03/03
Radio version: 1.10.00
Protocol version: 1337.18
ExtROM version: 1.60.50
I live in Italy where we do not have O2 carrier.
Right now i can use this unit with my italian carrier TIM (Telecom italia). No problem !!!
It works ok with both phone calls and GPRS connections (just finishind doing tests).
Now...
My question is...
I'd like to upgrade this O2 XDA II to a newer version of OS such as:
1.72.187 (for permanent GPRS connection and voice calls at the same time right???)
.. or 1.72.181 (for testing Blackberry connectivity which i think it will never work due to carrier restrictions in Italy).
.. what would happend?? Would my unit become locked again to O2 carrier ???
Or ..?? What are other possible problems ??
Which version would you reccomend among the above two ??
I need a link to download version 1.72.187. Cannot find it anymore on to www.sourceo2.com.
Before doing anything stupid i ask you since you all seem to be quite aware of the necessary steps involved with the upgrade/downgrade of O2 XDAs.
I don't know the history of my unit.. i do not know if it was locked to O2 UK or not... no idea... as i said i got it second hand.
I have also already downloaded the unlock tools just in case i need them in the future.
Thanks in advance for your kind help.
Carlo (Rome, Italy)

My Orange SPV 3100 was locked on orange and I SIM unlocked only with the help of HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a it worked fine and I now I am using O2 on it

I forgot to mention I am on WINDOWS VISTA
Vista *could* be a problem.
On the O2 web site there is an official download of WM6 for the Trion. Maybe you should try to get hold of that since you are on O2.
i have also orange spv m3100
few days ago orange here (slovakia) announced there will be NO official orange WM6 update for this pda, so i decided and flashed it with tnt2 wm6 rom
my orange was never flashed before, so i did it in 3 steps, which i suppose you need to do too
1. install bootloader Hard-SPL-V7 (alias olipro 2.10)
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
(you have there also link what to do first when you use vista)
2. install radio (gsm part) - i used latest v1.51 - find the download link on this page somewhere (hermes wiki)
3. install choosed rom - i used TNT2 professional pp4 with htc home
in fact i did it for the first time and had no major problem (only in step 3 the autodetection of bootloader failed and there was no option for v2.10 so i choosed "newer" or so) and after third restart the WM6 booted up ...
Hi there,
I too have an Orange SPV 3100, using it on O2.
I would prefer the O2 XDa Trion Rom but can't access it cos it is not an O2 serial number - (anyone who has the O2 XDA Trion WM6 ROM, please get in touch!)
Anyway, back on topic. Today, I upgraded my MPV3100 from WM5 to WM6 using the HTC ROM available via this site:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298520
From this page I selected the following link which is a file share site, I selected the free download option and was downloaded in a minute:
http://rapidshare.com/files/2179382...1.255.1_102_6275_1.38.00.10_108_Ship.exe.html
This upgrades to the WM6 ROM and gets rid of all the Orange stuff and all their annoying branding, it just leaves it with the HTC logo's when reseting, no more Orange stuff in site!!
I suggest you use this unless you can access the XDA trion ROM.
I had absolutely no problems with the HTC ROM when installing it. Unit is running well, however, I have noticed I cannot access the front camera like others on this site have mentioned after upgrading to WM6 - a small price to pay as I never use it.

yes this is only latest orange update for mn5 not wm6
if you have unlocked previously then i advise you run oli 2.10, ithink thats what its called basicly hard spl
this will let you instal the manufacturers rom
but why on earth would you do that
i suggest you install shamanix grass, based on schaps roms
its super fast and very stable
Hello,
thanks a lot to all of you for the nice job you've been doing! I'm living in Japan and using a SB x01ht that was bought just after launching around october 2006. I'm still using the original version with bootloader 1.06, the only thing I installed was Asukal's english MUI. I haven't upgraded to the new extrom but now I need to have access to data communication. Can you tell me how can I do without simlocking my phone?
Tks and cheers,
Greengaijin
changing rom dont simlock phones
okay rudegar. tks for the reply!
Hey Rudegar,
sorry but I'm a bit confused after reading Pof's FAQ regarding his unlocker for Hermes phones...
"Q: Will this work on Post April (white) SoftBank X01HT phones?
Yes if you have not let the SoftBank ExtROM install, otherwise your radio bootloader has been upgraded to 0182 and it is not possible to flash a radio or remove the SIMLock."
How come the ExtRom can lock the phone in the above situation?
Tks again,
Euler
