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.

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,

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

hi everybody,
i'm neww in this world of PPC and i receive from my sister in greece a T mobile MDA but i don't see my rom version in your database
my specifications are :
rom version : 1.52.00WWE
rom Date 10/23/03
radio version 1.06.01
protocol version 1337.16
ExtROM version 1.52.63
My Model is PH10A for information
i would like to upgrade my rom with 1.72 or 1.66 FR but i doubt
the best of all is that i forgot my cradle in a hotel in greece and i had to buy here in belgium a usb data cable which charges the t mobile too. No more cradle at hte moment at the stores and even car holder...
i hope i can upgrade already my rom !
thks for your answers
if i'm not wrong, the PH10A appears to be the T Mobile MDAII if i'm not wrong ?
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

Hi,
ive got a Vodafone VPx, that i have had for about a year now, and it has recently started crashing and doing a full reset when its not in its cradle. has anyone else had the same problem? would flashing the rom help? how about updating it to WM2005? i was going to update it but im not too sure its compatible with this BA, does anyone know if it is?
cheers

Warranty?
If it's under a year then you might consider contacting Vodafone for warranty support. There is a chance that flashing it will help, but do you have a copy of the original ROM? How about starting with a hard reset and see if that helps?
If you flash with a different ROM and then contact Vodafone you will find that the classic rule applies: tampering by unauthorised personnel invalidates manufacturers warranty!
Hope this helps!
Cheeky question...
Noticed in your signature that you have a Vodafone v1620... I don't suppose you could provide details of your ROM/Radio versions etc, and if possible upload your Ext ROM to the kitchen?
I have an O2 XDA IIs and intend to rebrand it to vodafone over the weekend as I use a Vodafone SIM
Any help would be greatly appreciated!
BA Batteries (mostly cheap ones that come from china) have been know to hard reset the device with out the owner wanting it to happen (I know I had one).
So you might have a battery fault.
Thanks MDAIIIUser - that explains the occasional reboots that I experience!
ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radio version: 1.13.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.40.238 WWE
Soon as I can read up on wiki how to dump the ExtROM I will do so.
Ooops, blew up after I installed the unlocker. After a painful rebuild I regret that I have no desire to repeat the experience. Sorry
Dear All,
I have owned 3-4 HTC phones overall all with O2. My latest is the Exec. I have nowed emigrated from the UK to NZ and although I have paid O2 to unlock my phones, 6 weeks later they still are not. I have to say O2 absolutely suck with their service. They are no longer even responding to my emails.
I have even gone to "unlockitnow" and still been unsuccessful. I'm now stuck with an Exec in New Zealand and can't use it. To top it off the unlockitnow programme seems to be the same one available on here.
My phone details are below and as a "green" user I think the problem lies with the model number PU10. Can anyone help me unlock my phone?
ROM version 1.30.107.WWE
ROM date 04/11/06
Radio Version 1.09.00
Protocol Version 42.42.P8
ExtROM 1.30.162 WWE
Model No PU10
Platform PocketPC
I apologize in advance if this is something that people have alreadt answered, but I'm one step away from throwing the thing out the window!
Cheers,
KJ
