Rom was for XDA II's. PDF on website said get restore rom but i cant find a link to that anywhere anyone got a o2 restore rom? i can try?
xda_IIs_LaunchROM_v1.12.162_178.exe is the restoration ROM
is it an original O2UK? operator id O2___001
did you do another upgrade prior to this one? Then it may have overwritten your operator id in your xdaiis
xda3nbftool, ER2003EDIt are useful tools
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=78053#78053

i had same problem with you, just do the update again ignored what displayed in the screen.
ANYHELP??
Maybe this needs to be clarified on here and made into a sticky. The SourceO2 rom has been listed in error and calls to have it removed or even tested to prove its wrong are being ignored. Subsequently people such as yourselves are finding your devices have been turned into bricks! (Luckily not forever :wink: )

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=14945&highlight=
Unfortunately as far as I know there is not yet an official O2 rom for the Blue Angel device that is freely downloadable. But you will find in this forum roms from other operators that can be made to work as a perfect replacement.
Ash
Can anyone with new XDA2s just do image of all files on the XDA and affter that we may just upload that to these bricks wich we have now?
Please
Well my units gone bak to o2 to reflash if i can do a back up of the rom for the forum and its needed if somone told me how to i would certainly do that and upload it somere
Russ
How much it will cost and how long it will take to refresh tat in O2? An what reason You give to them?
Fixed?
Hey
Just got an e-mail back from source O2:
Hi Ashley,
apologies for the incorrect file published and thank-you for bringing it to our attention.
The error has now been rectified & I can assure you, tested. Its is available at the same link as previous;
http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/XdaIIs_launchROM.htm

Anyone with a Blue Angel (XDA 2s, MDA III, PDA2K) like to see if re-downloading this and trying it works?
Ash
It is installing but we will see if it is working after 20 min.
Ok it is working properly
Thanx for help
hmm
Well iv told them it just stopped working. Am still under the 14 day period so I can cancel with them for any reason I see fit. Said it be 7 days, so free.
Hmm
Well I guess us and few other will be back with our XDA II's back with o2 Rom.
From wot iv read the to have ROM is the I-mate one. But am scared to try this now. Does it drasticly get better on this rom.

MDA PRO ROM upgrade

Hi all
My first post as a new MDA PRO owner HTC universal if I am not mistaken.
My question is that I am with Vodafone UK and am tying to flash my device with their latest ROM downloaded from their site.
I keep on getting the following message from the setup program i.e. "ERROR 120 COUNTRY CODE ERROR" 38-38-44-44-44.
What am I doing wrong as I thought these machines were all the same! Or is it just an attempt by Vodafone to stop me from putting their ROM on a Tmobile phone. If it is is there a work around?
Thanks in advance
Brian.
There are 2 ways to get it working.
1. Use MaUpgradeNoID Utility
2. Change some parameters with BAL666's HTC64 Tool
If you search the forum you should normally be able to find a manual for this.
If not, do not hesitate to use the Wiki:
wiki.xda-developers.com
section Universal
Thanks for that much appreciated
As I am new to this I think must be missing something as I have tried using MAUpgradeUT_NoID with no luck. I have also seen on the threads here about MAUpgradeUT_NoID_886 but cant find a download link for it.
If someone could give me a real idiots guide would be most grateful.
All done managed to get my thick head around it.
Just like to say what a great site this is and reminds me of early Psion days.
check buzzdev.net register there and go to the download page.
If you know something about computers, then try to reset the parameters. this was working for me! the NoID.exe doesn't look for these parameters, but that doesn't worked out for me.

wm6 for tmob vario2 uk... which version should I use and how?

Hi guys, I am a serial lurker here for several years.. and finally decided to upgrade my vario 2 to shiny wm6. I have downloaded black 2.5 and wanted to find out it all works great and how to install....
i haven't made any other changes to my vario 2 so want to get this right first time!
I think you need to lurk (and read) a bit longer, this same question has already been asked today!
lol, I read that which sparked an interest in upgrading...
What I wanted to know was which was the "best version" to install and what was the best procedure to follow for tmob uk.. I have seen plenty that mention the usa networks but no instructions specifically for tmob..
I know that a lot of you guys have already done it, so I just wanted to pull at your experience and get a good safe method!!!
Put on the fire proof suit quickly my friend, I think it will get very hot very shortly.
Check the WIKI, look for custom rom upgrading and follow MrVanx's idiot proof guides.
Black 2.5 has a UK TMob version as well. The thread is fairly obvious.....
great thanks for the advice....
I will look for it.... would be handy to have a direct url for any other tmob users that come across this post...
I used vanx
I used vanx's update method to install the hard spl, and now my phone is stuck on the 4 colours and won't go any further......
Can anyone help?
His guide also has a what to do if things go wrong section IIRC?
Also, read all 74 pages of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
phew I was lucky, I only needed to reset as it was stuck in bootloader. however when I try to instal hard spl it gives me a request to run enterbl.exe which when I run it, resets the device immediately into a boot loader screen (the colors) and doens't update the firmware...
Have you got all the necessary .net framework stuff installed?
Presume you are using XP not Vista.
i'm still using black 2 but will be upgrading to black 2.5 over the next few days when i have time. I'm also on t-mobile uk and although i havn't tried either the standard black2.5 or the t-mobile one, it'll be the standard version I install as i'd rather keep my phone clean from any t-mobile stuff. Thats just me though.
.net framework? I have looked all over and can't see any reference to it.. can you clarify??
edit:sorry am runnig latest 2.0 version

You need .net framework 2. If you havent got it, download from microsoft. You should read MrVanx guide
You will need to wait for one of the gurus to look in then I am afraid - I followed the guide and it all worked for me.....
T-Mobile - UK W'n'W
I've bitten the button and upgraded both my rom and radio and so far so good
Check this thread, it helped me when I was stuck on bootloader:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
thanks for the message, however I am back in the os... I think it must be some type of software lock.... does t-mob application lock their devices?
Hi, dont know about t-mobile, but I know Orange uk lock their's. However I followed Mr Vanx's excellent guide on the hermes wiki & have flashed a few times with no problems so far. Currently running Black 2.5 (excellent), with no issues.
I use
t-mob and hermes adn black 2.5. Absolutely great.
haven't bothered with the specific t-mobile flavoured rom, but downloaded a cab file which you won't need which oads the settings for mms and other such "treats" like that.
Have used black since 1.0 and think it's great, and continues to get better.

Australian 3 Extended ROM

for those who are interested I have uploaded the Australian 3 extended rom for installation after WM6 installation, plus the cab file for set up of other networks- Dopod D810 only.
http://rapidshare.com/files/38093805/Aust_3_ext_rom.rar
http://rapidshare.com/files/38094297/CWW_Enterprises_AUS_Operator_Con.cab
enjoy!
Does this ETX rom have all the things in it required to use planet 3, stream video, use X-series etc?
Just wanted to say thanks for this!
MontAlbert,
Did you manage to upgrade to WM6 successfully? If so, can you tell me details...are you with 3 Aus? Do i need to first unlock my phone?
can someone host the file on something other than rapidshare, i cant download it for some reason.

you need to unlock the extended rom but that is already unlocked on WM6 versions- i have LVSW wm6 rom installed and it works great.
i will try and upload it somewhere else.....
Silly question but how do you install it?
Hi I have downloaded it and all is well and really it looks like all I need to do is
install the cabs one by one ----- but that ain't right is it?
As Paulene Hanson would say ----- Please Explain
stick them in the extended rom and install from there.
Little foggy on the terminology sorry

Hi Thanks for the reply please go easy on my noobness but I am not sure by what you mean??
I mean I extracted the extended rom and went in and excecuted the file in that folder --- I then get a question asking me on my trinity if I want to allow a program (enterbootloader.exe) to execute and then it drops out and the flash screen comes up on the trinity but the flash program on the computer says it has an error comunicating with the device and only finishes with the exit option - however no flash takes place
I get the same with the ax3l rom can anyone help? I think i'm missing some basic ideas here
Maybe i should start a new thread --- but any help would be great
I've uploaded the files to my blog. You can get to them from here:
http://www.webdevblog.net/2007/06/26/windows-mobile-6-setting-for-3-australia-dopod-d810/
Hope this is ok MontAlbert?
Enjoy!
bump please

Sorry, I haven't looked at how to actually use it, just figured I would host it to save people trying to get it off rapidshare.
I haven't upgraded to WM6 as yet (hoping the official release will be soon so I don't void my warranty).

Copy the "CWW Enterprises AUS Operator Con" file onto the pda and then run it.
What do you do with the rar file - "Aust 3 ext rom"?? Unzip it and transfer the contents onto the pda (12 odd cab files)?? And what about the exe files in there and the ExtROM.rar file (also in the Aust 3 ext rom rar file).
Thanks for any info you can provide.
Graham
EDIT: Just saw this post by you, now I see where you got all those files from, I just don't know what to do with them now I guess:

I need to check out my 3 on my 3 phone ---- help
Hi I am just wondering something, I have the cab files and am playing around with them, but I really only want one thing from them, and that is the access to my 3 ------ everyone with 3 Australia knows what i'm talking about--- anyway, I am using LSVW windows rom and it nice -- much nicer than the default that came with my dopod/trinity --- but I can't check my account now because the icon is gone -- obviously
but I am guessing it is only a small file or something can anyone help me get my three icon back ---- also can anyone give us a quick break down on what the cabs do and the information of why we would want to install the extended rom??
Cheers all

search for the cab file, CWW Enterprises AUS Operator Con. Run it and it will setup a access point thingie for 3.
then open your ineternet explorer and type the address three.net.au, go to that page then you will be able to find My3
YOu dont even need the CWW Enterprises AUS Operator Con cab file if you already have the 3 services setup on your phone which can be done manually if it is not already there. You can checkout hte three website or call 3care and ask someone to help you set it up.
aaah the CWW file is the 2nd file in the OP
acess denied on three.net.au
Yeah, I installed the CWW Enterprises AUS Operator Con, and ran it, then chose 3, but I am getting an access prohibited error when I connect to three.net.au
Am i supposed to install all the three rom? or is it just that cab --- remember that all i want is to access my three
Cheers
Hi,
Does this work with other ROM ?
Thks
cmon little help maaaaates
Cmon guys lets work this out -------- I gather most of us would be on 3 within oz
so it will help us all
installed all and I have the key back
Hi Just an update --- I installed all of the extended cabs ---- I was still getting the problems with access being denied however It was MEEEEEEEEE I was trying to connect via my wireless connection not GPRS
It's all Good now
Cheers all

HELP!! How can i install operating system on my phone? Demo Version finished

Hi, I bought a HTC touch pro 2 phone a couple months back with windows mobile 6.5 on the phone and today i woke up to find that the operating system was some beta version and that it has run out so now the phone is not working. There is no information anywhere what to do.
I have tryed going on the htc site and downloading software but when i put the serial number in it says that it is not suitable
How can i install an operating system that will work or even get this version to work
Any help would be apprecitated
What an incredibly weird problem.
Your best bet* is to go to your carrier's website (rather than HTC's) and download their most current ROM.
Alternatively, you could download one of hundreds of custom ROMs here or on other sites. Just make sure you use a GSM ROM if you have a GSM phone or a CDMA ROM if you have a CDMA phone.
*Many are going to insist that a custom ROM is your best bet. Since you don't seem to be very familiar with these concepts I really think a stock ROM from your carrier is the best place to start in order to get your phone working again.

What model of the TP2 is it, where did you buy it, and what carrier are you using it on?

It sounds like you bought a used phone that someone had put a custom rom on. Ive heard people discuss in the NRG Rom thread that some of the roms previous to April 1st would expire on the first of may. This sounds all too similar.
My advice... flash a new rom. Especially if you DID but the phone used. That's like what is going on. Do some reading in the Rom sub forum and you'll see what I'm talking. find the NRG Rom thread and search "expiration" or something.
Hope this helps some!
Hi, It expired on the 1st may so i guess that might be what the problem is. How can i instal i new rom? and where can i get this information. Do you have any links?
Thanks

Thats a big question that you're best just doing some reading on and if you have questions as in those threads.
The thread's you want to read are here ---->Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development
Read through those threads that are at the very top with "Sticky" next to them. All the threads below are rom related threads about certain roms availabe to install etc.
