O2 XDA IIs - is there an *official* ROM upgrade?

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?

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..

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

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.

Change ROM from Germany to English

Hi there,
I have a XDA trion from O2, it has Processos SC32442-400Mhz, ROM version 1.21.207.1, Windows 5.1.195. I bought it in Germany and it came with Germany language for everythink, so is there a chance that I can change completely the environment and softwares from Germany to English? It is very dificult to use in Germany, so can you help me?
Please reply to my email registered [email protected]
Thanks
Rotchester.

Firstly, it would have been better if you had put Trion or TyTN in the subject as well.
This has been already been covered. IIRC I believe if you search for TyTN and ROM you may find a dopod WWE one.

German Keyboard support for WM6?

Hey guys, i am new here, just unlocked my german t-mo mda mail (=dash) and wanted to update it to wm6...just the thing is that i want to keep the german keyboard layout, is there a regedit that makes that possible? furthermore i wanna know whether it supports german as a menu language in general?
thanks for help !

Hi,
I have a german XDA Cosmo, unlocked and updated with WM6.
There's no german language, only US English.
But I wanna try to copy the language files from german HTC Vox to english XDA Cosmo, don't know if it will work ...
Newchurch

alright..mh, so do u think there might be a possibility to do it in this way? cause, i dun really think T-Mobile germany will release a german WM6 in nearer future...wont they..

Why you just don't wait a few weeks and get the unbranded European ROM for HTC S620 including German keyboard support and German user interface?

"a few weeks" is relative. Is the release date already scheduled?

HTC anounced something about May/June. But I don't know if they will do exactly what they have promised in their press anouncement...
I'll wait and see!

Will the unbranded Update work on a normal O2 Cosmo (mine is only application unlocked), though?
Thanxx, Mixx

Well thats what i mean, T-Mo suddenly released their WM6, so why shouldnt HTC surprise us as well? the t mobile wm6 is based on the original HTC one, so there has to be an existing HTC wm6 already...i guess it will be as well a surprise update since HTC barely gives any press announcements dont they - fact is: the htc wm6 engine is there - no we need to wait..question is..till when..?
@Mixx: as far as i know...there is no way around the CID unlock, that is only achieved through the complete unlock by imei-check...i did it already, its worth the 38 bucks, seriously..

You don't need an unBRANDED, but an unLOCKED Excalibur.

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

Need help in some rom related question

Good morning everyone.
I purchased my first touch diamond last week here in Japan with the EMoblie provider. I also downloaded a "rom" from my unit and it has 3 files. Now what shall I do next? Is that already consider as "rom" which I can re-install in the future to roll back the machine to the initial state?
Since I am purchased this one here in Japan, all system are written in Japanese. Is there any Traditional Chinese rom (From Taiwan) available here? Or is there any applications or way I can do so that my Japanese Diamond can read and write a chinese characters?
And also, there are some customized application like GPS and other Japan local applications. How can I extract those application from the unit?
Thank you and good day

Welcome to XDA. I too had these questions at one time. The best way to find an answer is to hit the search button in the top right.
Next, read the STICKY'd threads at the top of this forum. Hopefully by this time tomorrow night you will be texting your buddies in Taiwan with pin yin input on your HardSPL'd and custom ROM diamond.
