sent my xda 2 to o2(uk) for repairs, returned UK Rom 1.66

This, I assume, is the very latest UK rom, I had 1.60 before that. Getting the machine tomorrow, will post exact rom then, however I do not know how to copy it and send it you guys, can anyone explain in the simplest term how to do this? I have XP, Thanks

out of interest, what was wrong with the XDAII?

Reply
it would freeze and only a hard reset could fix this when connected to a Socket SDIO card, this would happen every 3 or 4 days.

If it's arriving tomorow, how do you already know it's 1.66 mate?
And just for interest, I seem to recall that the GERMAN version of the O2 ROM was just released last week at 1.66 - I wonder if this is a version of this for a UK market, or if O2 are about to release 1.66 over here too.
Anyone know how he can 'reverse assemble' it from his device so he can share it?

i had the same freezing issues but my device was 1.66
but i'm pretty sure that the freezing was due to a 3th party program
been awhile since it froze last
and i doubt it could be a hardware issue since hardreset always works

Mikey Collins - keep us posted on the outcome when it arrives please...

What program caused the crashing ? PocketWinc?
And I know it is coming with 1.66 because I called them. Any idea what sort of programs could have caused this?

What sort of programs could have caused this? The new upgrade you mean or the re-flash?
Could be a number of things mate, though usually a hard reset will cure all your woes.
Let us know what the actual real numbers are, for your ROM, extended ROM etc, when it actually arrives, as what O2 say on the phone, and what happens in real life, are noted for how far apart they tend to be where O2 is concerened.
And there will be an awful lot of people interested in your info, so keep us posted.

I emailed O2 Data Support about this, to see when or if they were intending to release 1.66.
This is my reply back from them:
Hello Mr xxxxxxx,
Thank you for your email,
After querying this with our technical team, we would like you to provide
evidence of the Rom 1.66 occurring, as we believe this not to be the case.
If you are experiencing problems with your XDA, you can replace the device
under warranty via your customer services team.s
Regards,
Paul
O2 Data Support UK
So can you give us some more info, or reply to me off board Mikey? As I suspect it is YOU that is correct, and O2 wrong, and would like to challenge them over this.

how to unlock xda2 rom 1.60.00wwe
i use xda2 unlock.exe
and press yes
get massage phone already unlocked
so how to unlock latest version
or is there after downgrade something like that
waiting for serious reply

To add
It was the technical service team that updated my phone, they warned me about Data Support.... and now you see

new rom?
Sounds good if you are right, and yes i am as critical about o2 as the rest of you, but ive found that there is an easyish way to get through to o2 on the fones if u need sumthing, call their staff accounts people on
0800131211
and since its freefone (in the uk @ least, i guess they have this sorta service elsewhere) it dont matter how long ur on the fone with them.
neway, will it be possible to upload the rom to the site?
Smiley

They are all shipping with 1.66 now
my girlfriend just got a new xd2, same OM as mine.

My xda2 which I am selling on this site also came with the new rom after they replaced the motherboard. I dont know if its me but the screen seems so much better, on a par now with the ipaq 3900 series, bright, clear, good depth of colour etc. Its for sale in the stocking up section of this site if anybody is interested. £350 Uk.

I just purchased an XDA II yesterday, and it also came with ROM version 1.66.00WWE (Incidently, the ROM date shows as 20th Feb 04)

I repeatedly Emailed O2 about this, and eventually there response was that more recent versions of the XDA2 ship with a slightly different screen (hardware wise).
New drivers are needed for this, and this is the ONLY difference in 1.66, which is not available for public download.
I emailed them back to tell them what a load of old cobblers, and that it includes a Cleartype tuner and more.
They went decidedly quiet at that point.

Any chance that O2 have fixed the Handsfree dll problem in Version 1.66? Can you get mp3 / Tom tom audio etc. to come out of the bottom connector? (Many people have a problem with the XDA II that they can only get Phone call audio to go to the bottom connector, even though the T-Mobile ROM's apparently don't have this problem.)
You can use a tool provided free on this site in the tools and software section to download your ROM to an SD card, and I assume that it can also download it to your PC.
I'm by no-means an expert, but I've had a go at fiddling with it so far and this is what I've found...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/CompleteTools
Follow the XDA Tools link and download the program, tell it to read the ROM from the device and Put it on your PC, then you can post it here.
I know this program worked with flashing the ROM from my XDA, never tried it with an XDA II though, although I will try it when I get home tomorrow.
There were a couple of more difficult to use tools provided for the XDA II that need you to log into the 'Bootloader' on the device using a command prompt (Like DOS) style program providxed by HTC (the manufacturers of the XDA and XDA II) but I can't remember where they were and I'm using my girlfriends crappy tinternet connection at the moment and can't be bothered to search the site. I'll have a more detailed set of instructions posted asap if I can find out how to do it all over the weekend.
Other than that, if anyone else can post details of how to do it, I'd be very grateful cos it all seems a lot more complicated with the XDA II to change the ROM than it was with the XDA.
Cheers,

Rom version 1.66.00 wwe
Guys be vvvvv careful when messing with this rom. If you attempt to update it to sort out the caller photograph recognition bugs you are in for a shock. Now you may already now which versions are the "older" versions but I did not and updated with the current official update from the O2 site. My XDA2 is now a one week old doorstop. Any suggestions anybody. I did back up to my SD card before the update but do not have a card reader...............yet!

NEW ROMS from i-mate only on FTP

Spread the word...

I think I am the first one to GRAB :lol:
Will certainly post the feedback...in just 2 hrs of time...

I wouldn't say that... 8)
It was slow, but I've it on my side.

anyone installed this yet?
CE: 1.30.68
Ext_Rom: 1.30.153
Radio: 1.09.00
looks good..

Is this valid? How come it isn't in the imate site yet?

The rom versions look old to me. I am not sure this is really anything other than an upgraded radio. Has anyone tried it yet?

Didn't decided to upgrade yet :?
Regarding ROM numbering, it seems to be something quite new.
However, filename ends with "...test"... Maybe it is still an internal beta version which leaked!?

i installed it. MSFP confirmed. OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)
first thing you'll notice added is the Wireless Manager Today Plugin, the clock is included in the Date Today plugin, a battery icon at top bard, Wireless Manager is now Comm Manager with different UI
... and one of the nicest addition.. KEYPAD LOCK!

Can this be installed on a Qtek 9000? I have heard nothing about a new ROM release from them so far.
Thanks

Tried it on my Qtek 9000, but always got the message "ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR"

Ok, got it!
Extract all files from .exe to one folder with WinZip, and then replace "ROMUpgradeUt.exe" with "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe" on Unversal ftp Upload folder.
The same as used for the radio upgrades.

Sweet! Thanks! Im still on the fence weather or not it is worth it to try, or wait for an offical Qtek update with AD2P & push mail.

THe K-JAM updates are the same versions which were released so it's safe to say that they are probably release candidates

Hey, we may even find a Windows Mobile 5 ROM Builder which buzz could exploit
Just a thought...

Someone has uploaded it here (\uploads\universal).
Thanks....

it's pretty smooth so far... love the new battery icon on top. Yet to see how faster push email is though...

Hmmm, no Stereo Bluetooth Audio. But no surprises there, really.
Comm Manager is basically the same as my SP5 now, and the battery icon on the TaskBar rather than in the system tray does nothing for me, especially as it means they've had to move the clock onto a today screen plugin...I never have the date plugin visible on my today screen, but I do want to see the time somewhere anyway!!! Anyway, reg hacks will sort that out.....Device lock is probably helpful for those who often use their Uni's in "Tablet/PDA" mode, and it's inclusion brings the Uni into line with other WM5 PDA's now. Oh, and the built in themes have finally been cut down a bit (still 738k, and 695k though!). Storage space is pretty much unchanged, still about 40000Kb after removing Anti-Virus, Skype, and Backgammon.
However the best thing...is it just me, or does my Uni now run at about twice the speed that it was doing?!? Menus, Folders, and Settings screens all open without any delay, Orientation switching is finally bearable, and everything else seems to be whizzing along like you wouldn't Have thought possible.....for now!

Do not understand this WM6 and hermes issue

hey Guys,
I'm pretty new to this kinda stuff and i just got a Dopod 838 Pro, im guessing this is the Australian version of the Hermes, its manufactured by HTC. here in Australia for some reason we have like 3 different brand names for them but their all the same!.... anyways to the point, i read all these different threads with all these different WM6 versions on it and i have no idea anymore which is the right one?!?!?!
i want to upgrade my dopod to the WM6 but i don't no which OS to choose? which is the best atm and why is it so hard to get them working? its not like just a copy of windows xp and you install it?
Also what is LVSW mean or whatever ppl are saying on here lol
Latest Version Software? haha
So yea which copy do i use?

Hi,
I'm using Dopod 838Pro too.
There are pros and cons for all the WM6, it all depends on what you want (more embedded software? more memory?)
As for myself, I've been using XDA Live v0.1 then v0.2. I'm still waiting for v0.3 I have not tried the rest, because I think I prefer XDA Live and I'll wait for kyphur
Thanks!

best thing to do is get onto Hard-SPL then start trying them all out before finally settling on one and lobbing all your crap into it.

I would even go one step further (which I have) and purchase Sprite Back and perform an Update Restore .. this will allow you to flash new ROMS and in one restore you have all your apps back...
The Update Restore function allows you to change OS's or devices and restore all of your applications. (Just be sure to follow the steps every time)

LVSW is a user that cooked one of the WM6 versions.

Remigi,
There is some good advise in all of the above. The only thing you can really do to be honest is read all of the forums relating to the upgrade process, especially the wiki!!!! Then once you feel you are adequately ready take the plunge. An extra piece of advise that I will dispense if you don't mind as I am struggling with it at the moment is;
Copy down all of your data settings and connection details - or confirm (via the forums) that the settings that are out here all work and will get you back sending mms / gprs / wap(?) etc etc. I flashed my 2 day old Orange M3100 (same thing as you just branded for UK) and I am still trying to get all of this functionality back properly.
As for which ROM to use..... I am using the one mentioned in my sig block (the second one) the black v1.2. It absolutely dumps all over the bog standard carrier rom!!!
Hope this helps

This is good advice...but what are you missing? I am on Orange UK and it takes less than five minutes to re-enter GPRS/WAP/MMS settings and load the sdk certs and the smsproviders.dll (to get the voicemail notifications) following a rom update.

so whats the difference between them all? like atm i have the standard WM5 Hutchinson's three software on there which has nothing special apart from every time u put a simcard in it downloads the settings automatically.... called network setup or something... but yea.. what the diff between like vanilla and xda and black and all those... isnt it all just WM6?

[08 11 2007] (Vanilla) Debranded WM5 AKU3.3 T-Mob rom

Sorry for the removal. Please read reason for editing.

good work, I'll test soon
Thanks

Well done! everything working as it should, no need to tweak gprs and previous splash is a nice plus! Thanks again.

Very Good ROM! Thanks

I just installed the ROM on an O2 XDA. So far it works thanks!
I used the trick to soft restart at the countdown to prevent all the guff being installed.
The main reason for this upgrade was the device using the latest official O2 ROM from I think 2006 the bluetooth does not work properly with my jag hands-free. But with this ROM it seems to work so thanks very much. At last I can use my phone in the car.
The exact version I flashed was using the CID bypassed version, copied in the 3 files from the official Tmobile then replaced one of them with the vanilla install. This I gathered was the thing to do after much forum reading.
I have a few of questions:
How do I select any of the cabs that I skipped installing and install them? Where are they? How do I know what they are and if they are any use?
My old ROM based on AKU2(.2?) had a program called task manager which I used to see what was running and end it (usually the media player). Has this been replaced in this version and if so what by and if not where can I get it?

Re:

Nice idea this one!!!
I m downloading right now in order to try it.

Is that a bit clearer for you?

Congrats on the new ROM PSIdoc!

Old story back again with this rom: green light flashing but device off line, no incoming or outgoing calls untill soft reset and randomly same problem faced again.

it'a so good that i actually want someone to come up with bug report.i dont know about the green light flashing.i dont have them?

@tailazoom
What radio version are you using mate? I know that 1.18 has some known crashing problems with WM5. The original rom was bundled with 1.17. Perhaps downgrading to 1.15 may sort it out as I know that os rock solid. I am using said bundled 1.17 and have so far only had 1 problem with a GPRS failure to connect. I couldn't pinpoint it 100% to the radio, so I am waiting for it to happen again.
Just my own thoughts.

Thanks PsiDOC for answering. I'm using radio 1.17 and with the official t-mobile wwe aku3.3 i have no problems except:
1) iexplorer unable to connect unless i use a program to tweak gprs settings
2) unable to force manually GSM band

what can i do with this file?how can i install it on my qtek 9000?

This looks as though it could be just what I need, rather than going to WM6What was taken out from this vanilla version compared to the full flavoured one.
Will you be doing a full flavoured version with your tweaks to get rid of the awfull branding stuff. Regards John

JohnWB,
The vanilla version is as the rom came from the OEM, in this case T-Mobile, with nothing added into it. The only things changed in the rom is all the T-Mobile branding is removed and the Dialler Skin replaced, purely beus it was painful on the eyes!
A fully loaded version means that extra apps have been added to the rom that saves you the trouble and the storage space. This can be pretty much anything with tweaking of the rom.
I am currently testing this rom with a few apps added in the rom, including:
Opera 8 web Browser,
Ps Shut XP. (WM Reboot Tool)
Registry Editor
Contacts Backup
SMS Message Backup
Notepad
Mobile Office 2007 (Word, Exel, Powerpoint & One Note) - Still Buggy Though
And a few others
Am also thinking about reskinning the entire rom with a "The Matrix" style theme as the default. Maybe I have said too much here....
Sadly am working 10 hours a day, 7 days a week at the mo as we have a big job on where I work, so not much time to progress it at the mo but I am doing a bit where I can.
Psi

Thanks for the info Psi, just what I needed to know, John

it won't do it:-( have installed from my storage card and it cam upwith a load of text, i take it, it installed, have paired my phone with the other phone, can send stuff, just can't recieve, the ftp tab or whatever suppose to be there (only going by what other posters elsewhere have put) isn't there. Imust be thick or something
i have paired the devices
so in devices the item is there, in mode i have both check boxes checked, compports(unsure about this, do i need to do anything in there?)
oops i am now experiencing hang ups on the phone,taking ages to do things...Hmmmm
not going to do a reinstall just though.
are there anymore fixes i can try for this, i have saved this one just in case though, xx

make sure 'beam' is on in comm manager and set to receive all in connections.

been having seveve problems since ilast posted tried to reinstall from scratch the copy of 6.1 i have and the screen was going white, so i have updated to 6.5 again, although i hate it, it's a shame there isn't an updated stock file of 6.5 with the look of 6.1 because that would be ace. Love the new connection in 6.5 on/off thing is i am having the same issues with bluetooth with 6.5, it must be my phone??? don't know where to turn now

flash the at&t one before you flash the rom of your choice. It is essential to getting your phone to work well with 6.1 and 6.5 roms and eliminating tons of problems.
also flash using the sd method if possible

no offence but that rom is awful, it slows my phone, the backgrounds are rubbish in it, the different keypads are good though, but i only wanted the normal one. i don't wish to be scathing about it, but it just is not my taste. The bluetooth still doesn't work, no tab, people keep going on about another tab i should have at the bottom of the bluetooth, can someone clarify this??
i must say though., seeing the WIFI and Bluetooth on the screen is brilliant. The today screen is extremely basic. why isn't the start screen editable?? i'd like messages, clock, file explorer, and a few other things but there you go.
i am now searching for another 6.1 to rival the first one i found or a 6.5 that isn't to overthe top

Actually flashing with the microsd card is the preferred way because it's faster, more reliable and doesn't require you be connected to a PC. I think you should read the wiki a little (not meant to be condescending). If you want nice 6.5 roms that don't slow you down then try the lite versions. You will find them all with links to the at&t base rom.

finally tonight i have found what i have been searching for
the shipped 02 software
i am a complete newbie, and i'm totally wondering why no one pointed me at this when i first came to this forum, it has even replaced that stupid Dark vision HTC splash screen...rubbish!!!
It has fixed my bluetooth issue straight away, i know you like pushng the boundaries on here but christ i have spent 5 days searching for this!!
hopefully any newbies will find this post,it for a XDA Trion or Hermes 100 as i later found out and is the software that rolls out from 02
oh god finally.

Hi Essexgirl. Can you please tell me, where did you find the shipped 02 software? Do you have a link for it and what version of Windows Mobile is it?
