xda 2s latest rom

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
Regards
Chris

Imate / Dopod 900 / Universal in Australia

Hi,
I recently bought a Dopod 900 from Taiwan and having read the entire upgrade forum I am still slightly unsure about the best way to switch to English. From my reading I see that O2 has issues with the extended ROM (although I'm unclear what extended ROM really means, my best guess so far is that its preloaded applications) and that the Jasjar suffers from system hangs and performance (speed).
I understand that there are two options readily available to me;
1) Use the O2 ROM located at http://www.my-xda.com/xdaexec_soft.html (since I'm in Australia I just copied their sample phone number into their form to continue on from page 2).
2) Or use the JasJar ROM located at ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/../Uploads/Universal/Shipped ROM/JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301/
And if I'm correct, unzip and copy the modified ROM installer (located at ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/../BlueAngel/Tools/) into the folder containing the un-zipped contents of the ROM archive and use MaUpgradeUt_noID to perform the ROM upgrade.
However, I've noticed in the signatures that people have all sorts of different versions of;
a) The OS ROM
b) The extended ROM
c) The radio ROM
I've found out that my Dopod has;
CE Image: 1.13.36
Ext Image: 1.13.134
Radio: 1.04.02
And that the Jasjar ROM image (JASJAR_WWE_11353_137_10301 - which has a filename of JASJAR WWE 11353 137 10402) located on this site is;
CE Image: 1.13.53
Ext Image: 1.13.137
Radio: 1.04.02
I guess the following questions are really targeted towards Australians, since the Jasjar has been available now for a short time and there would be some users downunder, I would like to know;
1) what versions are they running?
2) what provider/plan they are using?
3) what applications are they using (skype, pdf reader etc).
(I noticed on my Dopod, which still has the chinese OS on it, it is installed with KKBox, Pocket MSN, ClearVue PDF, Zip, and Word, Excel, Powerpoint, etc).
I do not know what KKBox is. And what's funny is that with the Voice Commander, I happen to know that "saigen" is see-you-later in madarin which stops the Voice Commander application. However I'm not too keen on learning madarin just to run my PDA.
So before I take the plunge and convert to English I would like to get some feedback from locals as to what they are running.
One last point, I got quoted from PDA King in Taiwan (I used a phone card to call) NT$1200 to switch my PDA to English. When I asked them about getting a copy of the OS on CDROM for furture restores I was advised they don't use a CDROM before its burned onto the ROMs. I think they are having me on, considering the talk in these forums, but I'm curious if anyone in Taiwan has had an english conversion done for them by a retailer?

Hi,
I found a Dopod site at www.dopodasia.com that stated "In addition, new ROM can be downloaded in “Member” section if you subscribed as a Dopod member"
The membership registration page is located at http://210.64.124.195/Dopod_en/member/right.aspx
Unforuntately the registration page is rejecting my serial number, I'm at this moment calling them for help to login. In the meantime, has anyone sucessfully logged on, and what ROMs are available?
Regards
Michael

Hi,
The Dopod Asia site seems to have a good FAQ for the Dopod 900
http://210.64.124.195/Dopod/Singapore/En/Support/FAQ/3Gsubnote/?sm=Left1_pro_9_1_1
Regards
Michael

Michael,
Did you manage to register on the Dopod site? My Serial # was accepted but the next page with more detail got stuck on the Account field right after Nickname field. Any idea what you need to enter there?
Thanks for any help yo umight be able to provide. Regards

Hi,
Not yet, we caught them at the end of the business day. They advised us they would reply via email, but we're gunna call again tommorrow morning as a little reminder.
Are you able to paste a screen shot of the next page, that way I can see what's coming up and maybe ask them direct what they need (save me trying to work it out).
Michael

Hi,
I got in, this is what I did...
1) Selected "have not yet purchased" - this takes me directly to the account details page and bypasses the request for a valid serial number.
2) I thought "Account" was something to do with your provider, it isn't it is the name you want to call your membership account. You use the "account" name and "password" to login. So account can be anything.
3) Then you get sent an email confirmation with an activation link, just click the link and login.
I'm in at the moment the only thing I can see that can be downloaded is the user's manual, the "home page" in the member's area says...
Dear Client:
Thank you for purchasing Dopod products. To get the most enjoyment out of the products, we continue to cooperate with domestic and international companies to deliver updated services and downloadable programs for you.
Please click and download the program according to the description of Games or Application Programs. We will constantly provide work-related, modern living, games and other application programs for you. Thank you for your continuing feedback to us!
Dopod International Corp.
...I think I will still call them and ask them about where the ROMs can be downloaded from as stated in this quote, "In addition, new ROM can be downloaded in “Member” section if you subscribed as a Dopod member." and where the applications and games reside (or a timeline of when they are due).
Regards
Michael

First one kkbox is music box same as ipod,only can use in Taiwan others
place are useless.
2nd I don't think PDA king in Taiwan can give you any copy of ROM ,
because Dopod don't have any English ROM , they just flush I-mate
or O2 ROM for you,you can get ROM from here as you mention
before.
3th Dopod Taiwan didn't post any ROM upgrade for Dopod 900, I will try
to login Dopod Asia and post here.

Hi,
I've recieved the following response from Dopod Singapore (www.dopodasia.com). By the way I'm hoping that since the Singapore branch of Dopod is english speaking, that they will have an english version of the Dopod ROM.
Has anyone tried to register as a member with the other dopod sites?
Dear Sir:
1) Is there any difference in between logging in as a member who has purchased to one that has not?
A member who has purchased will see all the contents.
2) Where in the member area can I download the ROMs, which were referred to in this quote, "In addition, new ROM can be downloaded in “Member” section if you subscribed as a Dopod member.", located under the title trouble shooting on page, http://210.64.124.195/Dopod/Singapore/En/Support
Currently we don’t have any new ROMs for Dopod 838 and 900. if we release a ROM code, you will see it.
3) Where in the member area can I download the applications and games, which were referred to in this quote, "Please click and download the program according to the description of Games or Application Programs." located on the member home page, on page, http://210.64.124.195/Dopod_en/default.aspx
We will keep putting applications, games and ROM codes on our web site, if there any news will send a e-mail to u.

imei LOCKED roms.How can we install them?

Hi,
I am located in Athens,Greece.The local vendor which sells qtek devices locks all the roms released in greek language.Today someone uploaded here,in the ftp server their last upgrade for qtek 9000.The rom's file name is UNI_QTEK_WWE_13077_130176_10900_WWE_Ship_GR2.0.1.exe.If someone has the time and the knowledge to find a way to install and use this rom in a device which has not a greek imei number it would be really helpful for a lot of people in greece.I installed this rom in my O2 exec using the guide in the following link http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45874&highlight=1+30+76
but after the ugprade i got a message that my device wasnt sold from Ace Hellas (Local vendor) and the phone restarts again and again.Currently i use the last i-mate rom.

O2 Xda Exec ROM update issues

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!

Do you mean you have had your phone fixed by O2??? If they're flashing repaired phones with WM6 hopefully we're not too far away from them releasing it to everyone...

O2 are now shipping Orbits with WM6
We got some orbits in last week and they were WM5, the ones that arrived today are WM6

is there an official O2 WM6 upgrade available for download?

http://www.my-xda.com/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
ok people it's here

I can confirm that OK UK when you get your dda back from been fixed have the WM6 Rom installed i got mine back today however it had been ready for almost 2weeks but due to me been in Spain on holiday couldn't get it. So woo go get it lads

damn it the server has gone down under heavy load!

Can someone please upload the O2 WM6 Rom ? I don't have a valid Serial number

you'll have to wait it out...the download is down for now. Once someone has downloaded and posted on Rapidshare and provides the link - its for you to use...
don't think anyone will give out their serial number like that !

yes its server is down can some one upload it if you dont mind

Wehey, finally they have released it, as soon as the download server goes up again I am going to reflash.
