O2 XDAII ROM upgrade failed?

I have just downloaded the rom upgrade off the O2 website (ver 1.60.50) and installed. Initially it was trying to connect to the internet! Eventually I got it working, but after hard resetting the version still says 1.60.00wwe, Rom date 12/03/03, extRom ver 1.60.50 - all as before.
Does anyone know if the upgrade has actually worked but the info not been updated, or does this mean that the update hasn't worked and I must have had an error somewhere?
Any help, advise appreciated.

I thought these forums where to help each other out and provide information. It is disappointing that no one wants to help, or provide a little guidance.

Absolutely nothing changed?
I thought it's not possible? Did you see a progress bar on XDA's display during the upgrade? if so, the memory has been accessed, so your rom is the new one, there is just a mess in identification. As far as I know, extROM changes the identity (it is it's main purpose), did you use it?

Maybe I'm wrong - but it seems that you are upgrading from 1.60.50 to 1.60.50. Right? As such, everything WOULD be the same!

I did see the progress bar, and the documentation before the upgrade on the O2 website sugests the Rom to be 1.60.00wwe and the extRom to be 1.60.50
I would have expected the actual Rom to now be 1.60.50wwe.
Has anyone else managed to upgrade to the official O2 ROM that is on their site and can confirm the ROM info? Also what apps etc would confirm that it has been upgraded if the info hasn't been updated but upgrade has work?
Many thanks for help and advice.

I'm not sure, but doesn't higher number mean later+better ROM?
If yes, have a look at 1.72 by T-mobile - there should not be many differences! :lol:

Since I have only just bought it I don't want to upgrade to an unofficial ROM in case it invalidates the Warranty should anything go wrong with it. May look at using a ROM from another supplier in a few months though.
Can anyone confirm if the ROM ver should be changed?
Thanks

You need to give people time to reply mate - we don't LIVE on these forums you know.
Anyhow, to answer your posts, yes, you have worked it out, the O2 ROM update, which is described as 1.60.50, is actually just the extended ROM element.
The system ROM is still 1.60.00
This confused me, and no doubt, lots more people too, and it's a bit STUPID of O2 to describe it this way.
Thus, you have in effect flashed your XDA2 to the exact same ROM it had before hand.
Curses to O2 for the confusion. Not good of them!

Thanks, and sorry for being impatient
O2 need to sort this out as I have done a ROM upgrade that could have fried my machine if I did it wrong that was unneccessary.
Thanks again.

Well, O2 is not alone in this - the current i-mate ROM is listed as 172126. The ROM version is 1.72.00, but the Extended ROM is 1.72.126.
I think they do this for internal tracking purposes. They get the ROM from MS, but they tweak the ExtROM themselves. It is possible for them to release multiple ExtROM versions in the same ROM version, so THAT is what they specify.
Make sense? Just a stab in the dark as to the logic of the release numbers.

No camera software

I was having problems configuring a new T-mobile MDA III with blackberry. I contacted T-Mobile who directed me to install the latest rom image (MDA3_TMUK_v106160_SHIP0307.exe). After installing this, blackberry is working fine with our BES server, but I don't have any camera software on the device.
I do not know if the software was there before the rom flash, I did not look.
It does have a camera, but no way to use it. I have spoken to T-mobile again but I have not received a response, I thought I would try here to see if anyone here has any ideas. Is there a cab available that I could use to install the missing software? I have performed a hard reset but still no joy.
T.I.A
Wiggy

T-Moble (germany that is) at one time shipped two versions of the update software for there devices, one with camera one with out.
Back in the old days a xda patch came out to update a SX66 no camera rom 1.31 with a camera, You can find this on wiki, also you can try the cab for the WM5 rom (cameraFix) that might work. These you need to play with.
Best option is to get a rom from TMO that supports the camera

Cheers MDAIIIUser,
I downloaded Camera2K5_v1.rar from wiki, (ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/BA_WM5/Patches/Camera2K5_v1.rar) and this seems to work a treat.
T-mobile are still looking to the problem. They may yet send me a new Rom image with the software included.
Thanks again.
Wiggy

I've just posted about this problem :shock:
Good to know there are others out there with similar experiences!
I'm going to give that link a try and see where I get.

..I've downloaded this, but how do I install it on the MDAIII?
please forgive my ignorance!

If you extract the RAR file and you end up with a cab file then copy it to your device and tap on it in file manager.
I have know idea what is in the rar file.

Interest in HTC S620 Test ROM?

I just bought an HTC S620 off of eBay and noticed that when I boot up it say IU BUILD TEST....I also have noticed that the WLAN drivers are not installed for some reason. I posted on another forum about my issue and they pointed to your ROMs here.
I guess I can try and install one of the shipped ROMs to get the WLAN drivers installed, but it was also suggested that ya'll might be interested in the current set up and test radio ROM. If it is of interest, please let me know, and tell me how I can get it to you.
Also, anyone know if there is a way for me to just install the WLAN drivers rather than a whole new ROM?

yes please post the info or pm
and could you also tell us what applications you have !

Do you want what applications came installed when I got it?

In the about section of the settings, here is what it says:
Windows Mobile 5.0 with the Messaging and Security Feature Pack
OS 5.1.461 (Build 15671.3.3.0)
Radio Version 4.1.13.31_02.71.90
RIL Version 2.002
Let me know what I need to do to get it to you....

3.3 is new!!

Is that good?
Only problem is....there is no WiFi drivers on my device!!!!

Please post pics
of you screens ,in regards to the wifi drivers,did you try to google ?

Did I try to google and find the WiFi drivers? Yes. I found nothing. If anyone wants to point me in a direction where I might find them, please let me know

try to search in mobile sites like howard forums i think i had it once for my cingular 2125 i just do not remember where i download the driver from,anyways i am still curious if you have some additional applications on your htc s620 from what i have or homescreen ????

Ok I'm confused....I'm attempting to update the ROM on my S620 to the
RUU_Excalibur_HTC_WWE_1.11.405.4_4.1.13.28_02.63.90_Ship.exe
in an attempt to get the WiFi Drivers on my phone. It says my current image version is 1.16.110.01 and I would be updating to 1.11.405.4
Why would my test version be a later version? Is this smart to overwrite this later version? And how can I save this version first before I overwrite it. Thanks!

yes your rom is newer but it is still a TEST ROM , WICH MEANS that its is not the shipped rom without the bugs and in your case the wifi drivers that is why it is a test rom,if you want to install a shipped htc s620 rom then go ahead be sure to downgrade the bootloader first!!!!!

I already installed the above shipped HTC S620 ROM. All I did is run the exe file and let it install. I did not downgrade the bootloaded. In fact, I have no idea what that means?
Everything seems to be working fine on the phone now though, and WiFi is now available
What issue might I have with not downgrading the bootloader?

you will have a downraded bootloader as a result

Any ideas on where to find the ROM, now that they are not being hosted at xda-developers?

wm6 for tmob vario2 uk... which version should I use and how?

Hi guys, I am a serial lurker here for several years.. and finally decided to upgrade my vario 2 to shiny wm6. I have downloaded black 2.5 and wanted to find out it all works great and how to install....
i haven't made any other changes to my vario 2 so want to get this right first time!

I think you need to lurk (and read) a bit longer, this same question has already been asked today!

lol, I read that which sparked an interest in upgrading...
What I wanted to know was which was the "best version" to install and what was the best procedure to follow for tmob uk.. I have seen plenty that mention the usa networks but no instructions specifically for tmob..
I know that a lot of you guys have already done it, so I just wanted to pull at your experience and get a good safe method!!!

Put on the fire proof suit quickly my friend, I think it will get very hot very shortly.
Check the WIKI, look for custom rom upgrading and follow MrVanx's idiot proof guides.
Black 2.5 has a UK TMob version as well. The thread is fairly obvious.....

great thanks for the advice....
I will look for it.... would be handy to have a direct url for any other tmob users that come across this post...

I used vanx
I used vanx's update method to install the hard spl, and now my phone is stuck on the 4 colours and won't go any further......
Can anyone help?

His guide also has a what to do if things go wrong section IIRC?
Also, read all 74 pages of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722

phew I was lucky, I only needed to reset as it was stuck in bootloader. however when I try to instal hard spl it gives me a request to run enterbl.exe which when I run it, resets the device immediately into a boot loader screen (the colors) and doens't update the firmware...

Have you got all the necessary .net framework stuff installed?
Presume you are using XP not Vista.

i'm still using black 2 but will be upgrading to black 2.5 over the next few days when i have time. I'm also on t-mobile uk and although i havn't tried either the standard black2.5 or the t-mobile one, it'll be the standard version I install as i'd rather keep my phone clean from any t-mobile stuff. Thats just me though.

.net framework? I have looked all over and can't see any reference to it.. can you clarify??
edit:sorry am runnig latest 2.0 version

You need .net framework 2. If you havent got it, download from microsoft. You should read MrVanx guide

You will need to wait for one of the gurus to look in then I am afraid - I followed the guide and it all worked for me.....

T-Mobile - UK W'n'W
I've bitten the button and upgraded both my rom and radio and so far so good

Check this thread, it helped me when I was stuck on bootloader:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick

thanks for the message, however I am back in the os... I think it must be some type of software lock.... does t-mob application lock their devices?

Hi, dont know about t-mobile, but I know Orange uk lock their's. However I followed Mr Vanx's excellent guide on the hermes wiki & have flashed a few times with no problems so far. Currently running Black 2.5 (excellent), with no issues.

I use
t-mob and hermes adn black 2.5. Absolutely great.
haven't bothered with the specific t-mobile flavoured rom, but downloaded a cab file which you won't need which oads the settings for mms and other such "treats" like that.
Have used black since 1.0 and think it's great, and continues to get better.

XDAII (O2) 1.66 ROM Please

I need this ROM as I upgraded to the 1.72. It cleared my radio stack (don't know how to find/install a new radio stack) and doesn't allow my previous installed information to be reinstalled (the xbackup is working but then the device just resets itself to the initial setup process without any of my previous information loaded in).
I went to the O2 site but they need the IMEI to get the 1.60. The IMEI was also cleared when I installed the 1.72. I couldn't find any downloads on this site or the wiki.
I just want my XDAII back to how it was before I foolishly made the mistake of thinking that it would work all fine instead of thinking with the proverb if it ain't broke don't fix it!
Thankyou

do you want rom 1.66 or rom 1.66 plus a radio stack in which case what version
or do you just want a radio stack
radio stacks are not included in the pure roms it's a seperate file called radio.nbf

Thankyou for your reply!
I would like the ROM 1.66 and the radio stack please (do I also need the extended ROM?) - as far as the RS goes, anything that would work for the US T-Mobile Prepaid network...
Thankyou

Found the IMEI under the battery
but the O2 site says I can't download as my device should already have the 1.60WWE rom version.

try going ti xda-wiki and taking a look at the ftp

nothing to help me

Rudegar told you to use WIKI. Find the ROM in here
