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, 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.

changing rom dont lock the phone
Hi all,
I now have a 1.11 radio, latest Vodafone UK Ext Rom 1.30.194WWE (need it to make mms etc work seamlessly - the only way I have found, manual settings not doing the job on top of an O2 build) and I have taken the ROM from the latest 02 release, version 1.30.107WWE
Q is, before I settle with this 'forever', is that the latest/best ROM? Or is there a better version/later version than .107? If so where please.
Also any sign of a 1.12 radio yet/anyone have a copy? I keep hearing of it....
Finally anyone got a backup that works and will restore my setup even if I upgrade ROM (like the old activsync backup used to)?
Greg.
Latest one upto my knowledge is 1.30.115 wwe from T-Mobile NL
Hi, can you give me a link to it please? Or tell me where to locate it? Cheers, Greg.
Its on ftp here m8.

extract it through winrar and run the upgrade file inside instead of running it directly to avoid upgrading your bootloader to 1.01.

First is a link to someone saying that the new T-mobile uk ROM is on devices being sold (or at least given out after repair)
This is what's on it
MDA PRO
ROM Version: 1.30.114 WWE
ROM Date: 13/04/06
Radio version: 1.10.03
Protocol Version: 42.44.P8
ExtROM version: 1.30.232 WWE
The second link is someone confirming that tmobile UK will be doing a general release on the 19th June. One minor number lower for ROM and ExtROM than the dutch versions but that might just be a country/operator thing and not have any real bearing on what's actually in the ROM.
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

Hi folks,
Newbie here. I have a HTC TyTN (Vodafone V1605) on the Vodafone Ireland network. I would really like to upgrade it to WM6 to use with my new Exchange Server 2007 and I have looked through a lot of these threads and I am experiencing a severe case of information overload
I also couldn’t find any information specifically related to performing an upgrade with a Vodafone Ireland device and I’m afraid of bricking my phone.
Could any of you more experienced members direct me to the information I need or give me some pointers?
Thanks
Ghilbert.

read the info in here relating to HARDSPL, I would also suggest SIM and CID unlock if you plan to change the radio version, do that before HARDSPL..

you should then be able to upgrade to any ROM you fancy. The ROMS themselves are typically non branded apart from where the CHEF has put some of their pickies in there.
dude any rom upgrade will be just that, a rom upgrade.the settings for vodafone etc will need to be updated manually later.
the best and most simple straight forward instructions are to be found at this site http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/
follow all instructions to the letter and all will be well
