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

Hi Guys !
I've been going through this forum since I got my XDA2i a couple of months ago. I have the following config :
ROM 1.10.00WWE
ROM Date 12/24/2004
Radio Version 1.00.00
Protocol Version 1337.39
ExtROM Version 1.10.124 WWE
Model No PH10C
I wanted to know if there is a possibility of better versions of these, even if they are of other models/manufacturers, to be put together on 1 XDA2i and make it work like one helluva machine ?
Can you recommend / attach the files to this question and tell me a little more about it as I am a non techie !
cheers
Prattz
you can get the new rom version off the o2 website .just follow the links
My extrom is blank should there be something there ?- it seems to work ok.
Guys,
Thanks for the inputs, the reason I have put the question up is that I have seen people having higher versions of the various stuff. They've got ROm from somewhere and Radio stack from somewhere else etc.
1. I wanted to use your expertise in creating an all powerful tool.
2. Add Blackberry functionality as was advertised earlier by O2, what
a let down now that they've removed all mentions of the blackberry.
Would really appreciate help in this regard.
cheers

There are two upgrades i know of ... one is the new I-mate upgrade, which came before the O2 one and has a newer Radio version .
BUT
the newest upgrade is the O2 upgrade, even though it doesnt have an upgraded radio.
A solution is to use the Rom "pug" posted, which uses the O2 upgrade but also includes the i-mate radio version.
You get the latest, and best of each so .... heres the link ... ftp://xdaupload:[email protected] XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162 Radio_1.3.rar
I suggest you read through this 3 page thread first though as it will give you all the advice you need.

hi
does any one know.... the clubimate initially posted a date of sept 30 but thats like half a month ago...and then no news..
i was wondering if any of you know>>>
They have released a new ROM. It's on the site. Go look on their site - http://www.clubimate.com
inspectorgadget ...the rom posted (though has a higher version than the ones shipped on the devices originally) but is actually the same version literally..the imate ppl by mistake put an arabic rom for jasjar as UPGRADE on their site which when used by many many ppl to upgrade led them to have a very expensive paper weight... the imate ppl then to correct their fault released the current rom (with a different version number to differentiate from shipped roms) so that those expensive paperweights could be used as pda's and phones again...
at that time when this debacle happened imate support ppl wrote on that very page that infact the correct rom UPDATE (not restore) would be released sept 30th....that date has come and gone half a month ago..and there is no official news on that jasjar support page anymore regarding the actual ROM UPDATE... hence my question here...
No it is not technically the same ROM. Try a search on the forum....you will see that they originally posted an arabic rom, then they posted the original rom to fix that mistake, and then they posted the new rom.
The rom version shipped with the device is:
Rom version: 1.12.00
Radio version: 1.03.00
ExtROM version: 1.12.132
And the new one:
Rom version: 1.13.53
Radio version: 1.03.01
ExtROM version: 1.13.137
I'm not sure what the new features are exactly, but I do know that the operator gprs/mms settings are now installed for you when you hard reset the phone, and there is an antivirus cab file too which you can install, but I lost mine.
There is also now application signing too, which is annoying, but can be disabled in the registry.
People say there is more free memory after the update...about 7mb I think.
hi
the antivirus **** cabs been on mine since start...and after unistalling the back gammon,antivirus and skype cabs after hard reset the newer versoin of the rom has infact 700kb less space than the original one shipped on my jasjar
Need Help Please on jasjar new rom
I loaded the new rom on my jasjar and my whole screen disappeared and I don't know how to bring it back to life.
I tried to reset in every way but it comes back to the same black screen and I'm not able to sync. I'm pulling my hair

1)dont panic
2)search for UNI_ExitBootloader.zip. run the exe in it to get the things back to normal. This often happens with g4 universal.
And yeah, make sure that the activesync is set not to listen the usb ports
jasjar is not seen on USB
I have the same problem with my Jas Jar, after trying to update.
I tried UNI_ExitBootloader.zip but unfortunately the connection with USB does not recognize the device. I checked the activesync connections settings many times, but the Jas jar is like dead. Is not recognised by the USB!!!!!
any suggestion......

Hi there,
First things first I'm totally a newbie. I owned a treo 650 before I got my Xda Exec, it just for lack of a better word sucked.
I have a very old ROM version (1.13.48 WWE) and the radio ROM is just as old (1.04.02) I did manage to get the device unbranded by soft restarting before I got to the Windows is installing crap that’s gona slow down your device screen.
I know I am not getting the most out of my device with this ROM. So I tried to update I wasn't able to find the latest Qtek Rom (which seems to be the most popular here, on this site) on the ftp, has it been removed? I tried to get the latest O2 ROM from the O2 site but was unable because I didn’t have a O2 Phone number. I did manage to get the Vodaphone (vf-uk_v1640_aku2_v130194_wwe_ship) and T-mobile (UNI_TMUK_12032_120_10600_Ship) ROMs but when I go to install them I get this error message.
ERROR 120: Country ID Error 22-22-44-44-44
I see the there are a few people on this site that have gotten other ROMs to work on the O2's. How was this done?
Also what is the "best" ROM to date and where can I get it?
Thanks,
Tom
PS I’ll likely have many more newbie questions in the future, sorry
Try here for the official O2 ROM (1.30.162)
http://xda.o2.co.uk/downloads/Xda_Exec_Upgrade_v1.30.162.exe
Have a look on the wiki if you want to install the ROM from another operator, or just do a search for country code error and you will see where you are going wrong- this has been posted hundreds of times before!

Missing camera application
I have a new Exec and I have the latest ROM version as displayed on the O2 web site. When I install using the Corporate option (code 0506) and the great O2_Exec_Connections_Only CAB. But the camera application seems to be missing (or components of it). Has anyone else found this and is there a solution? Do I have to do a full install and then delete the O2 junk?

Does the camera show up in the other install options?
I didn't even bother with the O2 junk, I just reset the device at the "wait 3 seconds" part so none of the O2 stuff was installed and my camera works fine.
Missing camera application
DavidT
Many thanks for your response. It turns out the ROM image was faulty. So, however many times I re-installed or in whatever configuration, the camera application was missing bits. So, I downloaded the latest ROM image and re-installed. Everything works fine now.
Like you, I avoid the O2 stuff.
I don't have an O2 number either, so how can I download the ROM?
any help guys?
Thanks

Where is this upgrade from what is the URL
Thanks in advance
When I got my replacement AT&T 8525, it came with the AT&T WM5 ROM. I decided to downgrade to the Cingular WM5 version since I didn't like the AT&T one. I've been skeptical about upgrading to the official WM6 release, and I figured that since I have some time tonight that I would. However, I do have a couple of questions about how this will work since I had to install a different bootloader in order to make the change back to the Cingular WM5 version possible.
Currently my settings are:
ROM version: 1.34.502.1
ROM date: 09/21/06
Radio version: 1.40.30.00
HardSPLv7
My question are, do I need to modify my radio version before I upgrade? Also, should I modify my bootloader before I upgrade to the official WM6? Thanks.
Firstly good job on flashing HardSPL.
your radio doesnt need to be changed at all, but if you want to take a peek at my tests here that might help you choose an appropriate radio version.
For WM6 DEFINATLY go for it, the updated stacks/drivers/kernel are definatly faster than the WM5 versions.
Give the pandora naked 7 ROM a shot........it will FLY.
Your settings can be restored for AT&T using the HTC network wizard (easily found with a search).......and make sure you backup all your contacts etc... using PIMBackup (in the development forum).
I keep getting an error 264 connection error saying that the update utility cannot connect to my phone. I've followed all the steps. I'm not sure what I'm doing wrong. The only thing that sparks my mind that I don't remember occuring before is that when I plug my phone in via USB ActiveSync automatically begins, so I wasn't sure if I needed to disable that function or not since the instructions mentioned something about being sure that happens before installing the new ROM.
Any help? I'm still stuck here.
I just did mine (I am a brand new to all this) and I followed these steps word for word in this thread, adn man what a difference .
read these all the way through.

Nates good people and willing to help although he is a caffeine addict
and after you upgrade the rom do this, but read it all before doing so
HTC plug in , great look for the 8525

Oh i forgot, the HTC att WM6 included the radio upgrade to the 1.48. which works great.
