read wiki.xda-developers.com
Well to be honest I was unable to find what I was looking for probably due to my searching capabilities, can you kindly point me to the ecaxt url that can take care of my problem
If you look on the top bar there is a tab labelled 'XDA-Wiki', please read all you need to get you started. You're really at the beginning and need to do some studying before going any further. Don't jump in before you know what you're doing or you'll just brick your device.

Wondering if there's an official rom upgrade?
Read a few scary stories about people ROM upgrading, so just wondered if there was an official upgrade which I *know* will work and not kill anything
Cheers
there is a 1.40 asian rom update, but as o2 in uk are crap, they havent released the upgrade yet.
they will only **** it up with that o2 active crap anyway, choose another 1.40rom, and folllow wiki, u cannot got wrong.
The latest one can be downloaded from the 02 website http://www.seeo2.com/ I just installed it and its working fine
think im being dumb, cant find it on seeo2.com
i know it must be in the o2 connect section somewhere...?
any pointers? cheers mate
Here is the link to the O2 Asia 1.40 ROM update.
http://www.seeo2.com/user/XdaIIs/template/XdaIIs_ROMUpgrade_Jun2005.vm
I think you will need to have a login and valid o2 Asia xda 11s device to access it. If you have an O2 UK xda 2s, you can still download and apply this update from here (our wiki site)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
Hope this helps

Cheers Chris
Has anyone tried the wiki one with a uk xda 2s and can confirm its working a-ok?
Thanks again
Aslan
Hi Aslan
Yes, I have the O2 UK XDA2S and have loaded the Asia ROM (see details in my signature block] The only thing you may have to do after loading is to substitute the Caller ID cab file in the extended ROM. You only need to do this if you experience GPRS disconnects after upgrading, which is somewhat dependent on the operator/service provider you are with. Some work fine without the substitution. Who are you with?
Regards
chris
Cheers Chris - well I don't use GPRS so I'm alright I guess!
Although wondering if there's any way to do a backup which i can port over to the new ROM...too much stuff to reinstall!
Any ideas - sprite backup?
HI ASLAN
Backing up shouldn't be a problem... if you just have data you could use xback up or Sprite and back the data up to an sd card or your computer. Do you use Outlook, as that would be another way to do it via active synch. Let me know what you have to back up and I can better advise..
Regards

Hi mate,
Got all the standard contacts/calendar etc which I can do by synching. But also got some progs on:
Pocket Informant
resco file explorer
tomtom navigator
and a few skyscape medical apps.
other bits too but don't really mind having to reinstall those the above are the main ones i use.
Do you know if sprite backup backs up installed programs too? Been havin' a read of this:
http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/answer.aspx?id=63&back=browse.aspx#p17
So 02 finally released their 1.40 rom. cool
anyone tried it yet? does it install the dreaded 02 crap as well?
Is there a corporate mode to this rom as well so we can get rid of the 02 software?
does it have everything that the 02 asia rom has to offer?

Hi aslan
I do not believe that Sprite will be able to reinstate your programs. I do not know for sure, but think it unlikely after a reflash.. You could send then an e-mail to the ask a question link on the page you found to be sure though..

Hi alitech
The ROM discussed above is in fact the O2 ASIA ROM 1.40.923. You can load this onto your O2 UK XDA2s using the MAUgrade utility found here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgradeon the wiki site, along with the WWE ROMS that are available. The O2 Asia ROM does not have the O2 Active interface, so no need for Corporate mode :wink: I guess that O2 UK will one day release its own 1.40 update for the xds 2s, which is rumoured to include a Blackberry client. Hopefully this will be before the xda2s makes it into the Science Musiem :roll:
Hope this helps
Regards

O2 UK - Most Bone Idle Organisation In UK!
Hi
I've been waiting for an official upgrade as well, but I think we will be waiting an eternity. O2 does not care about its customers one little bit - thats why we are all stuck with ancient, buggy roms while others enjoy the bug fixes in newer roms.
Many users, myself included dont have the time to fiddle around making foreign roms work.
I guess I shall have to bite the bullet and install the O2 asia rom, and prey the unit still works afterwards.
My contract ends next month, and after the 'O2 XDA IIs' episode I have had with O2, I shall never, ever pass any money their way again.
To be honest, I reckon you are far far better paying the extra money up front, buying an imate and choosing your contract yourself. They do tend to release updates in a timely mannar - which results in much less lost hair!!
The HTC universal looks nice, but there us *no way* I am gonna be paying that sort of cash for it!!

Hi Veletron
Yes, I can't say I blame you. (and who came up with the idea to use light blue special character keys with a blue backlight I wonder?] I am actually thinking about switching to a !Qtek 9100, aka Wizard. They will be unlocked and available 5 Oct. Qtek have also been good with ROM updates I think.
Regards
Chris
hi all,this is my first question on this site.This site is incredible for the wealth of info put forward by its member,credit to all you guys.i have flashed with a couple of the roms on my universal mainly tmobile and o2 and imate,but i desperately want to try the orange rom,does anyone know where i can download this from.thank you in advance.also praise due to buzz,what a techie,gr8 stuff.THANX
thats brilliant, i wouldn't have the guts to do that, just a few questions
1.Which ROM have you found the best out of the box? (from the 1st turn on)(added applications etc)
2.say you are on O2, were you able to still make calls/txt/mms on the other roms, (changing the settings etc maybe)
I have an Orange M5000 that im using as a bluetooth modem right now to use on the internet though GPRS (not in a 3G area)(only because u get 1gb allownce for the first 3months!), I would like to help you out with my ROM but i wouldnt even know where to start
THANX FOR YOU REPLY.I WOULDNT ASK YOU TO DO ANYTHING YET,i have done a lot on both the magician that i have and the universal.i have read a lot of discussion on these topics on this website.in my experience,if you are on a contract then yes you are dead right with what you say.at the moment on my device i have about 30 programs on it,it runs suitably fast enough for me.i have unlocked and unhidded the extrom and deleted it.i have an o2 exec running bits of tmobile and a bit of o2,because i have an tmobile sim.the unit is superb despite the neg comments on it,i have had masses of pdas and this is the coolest.currently i have xda exec,mda compact,fujitsu loox720(TOP CLASS PDA VERY DIFFICULT TO BEAT),TUNGSTEN T3,NOKIA9210,SHARP SL860.I would read more on here though because you can increase the confidence level and the level of knowledge u have.the way to do it is to unlock the extrom then soft reset,then unhide it then soft reset have u can see whats on your extended rom.i have an extra 10 meg now i am waiting for buzz god to find out how to delete the partition.the orange has the best today screen interface hence why i want to try it.the files can be copied onto a pc then zipped and posted.only try it though once you are comfortable.flashing roms onto the pda is far more gods will,wouldnt recommend that unless you are totally confident.
yes you can change the settings although i am happy with the config at the moment,easier just to install the extrom bits :shock:
I know people always ask to go through the threads and titles to find an answer, but the truth is I only find bits here and bits there, and not sure what to do!
I wish someone could explain what are the steps to take to move from Wm5 to Wm6 (I like the Black version) on T-Mobile Vario II, with as little probs as possible.
What programs to download and where from? Which order to install them?
Also: are all Wm6 versions available 'pirates'? Why cant you download Wm6 straight from Microsoft (I havent found any links yet!)
A huge thanks!!!
Step by step?
I agree with the above! Any step by step instructions for beginners?
I concur. It's a minefield out there. Lots of advice but a lot of it contradictive and the occaisonal mention of the "B" word just to convince you to put it off again for another couple of months.
It's been a lot more than that now for me but the need to sort out my HTC S100 Bluetooth headset means I have to.
I'm going to take the plunge. I'll let you know what happens.
T-Mob UK MDA Vario II (HTC Hermes) WM5hit
MrVanx's site has a nice set of guides on it.
I went here,
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
I did the HardSPL part but I'm not sure if I needed to as the ROM I used seemed to do the same thing, but it didn't seem to hurt.
I then went here and downloaded the Schap's 3.60a ROM from mirror 1
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=all_hermes_roms
and ran it....
Forgot to back up my MMS's so lost them but apart from that... dare I say it......
The main reason for me doing this was to get a half decent sound on my HTC S100 Bluetooth handsfree jobby. It's done the trick, not perfect but it's so much better.
Hope that helps someone else and thanks to all involved in the sources I used.
DGL.
I decided to take the plunge today mainly to take advantage of the new internet sharing via wifi hack available on WM6. Like you guys I was nervous about messing up my phone and there is so much information available and so many choices. I decided to follow MrVanx's guide, very simple and spent about 2 hours doing to whole upgrade for hard spl, radio upgrade and windows black satin. It really is very easy if you follow that guide step by step. Definately worth it and had I known how simple it would be would have upgraded my vario II ages ago. If like me your on t-mobile then the cab on this thread might also be handy:

That's 2 different things, maybe 3. Do you want to change the 'splash screens' - that come up when you soft reset... (In attachments), or the theme?

Well you could jusr unlock the SPL and then flash the device with one of the cooked WM6 ROM's. That will make the Orbit look like a standard HTC P3300
Thats what i did with mine anyway
Hey guys!
I'm new here, so at first i want to say hello to everyone here
I have a O2 XDA Orbit and a few days ago, i found this page here, and read much in here
The page i found was this page: here
And i have to say: THIS STYLE IS COOL !!! ))
Is there a ROM (or something else) for my Orbit that i have a style like this?
What i mean, a grafik-style like this, and the function that i can use my orbit without my pen - like the IPhone?
What do I need and how dangerous is it for my Orbit?
Thank you very very much,
Greetings from Germany,
Sunnyboy
I have installed the FlyROM OS on my O2 XDA Orbit, and it works just fine, including TouchFlo 2D.
You will need to spend some time reading up on how to perform a ROM upgrade, the pre-requisites, etc and the risks as you need to be very careful. However, with some time and research you can greatly improve the performance of the original Orbit.
