I just purchased an O2 XDA Exec, and its such an amazing little machine! But, its soooo slow, and compared with my ipaq hx2415 the ipaq screams past it. My rom version is (note that I purchased it 3rd party so I'm not sure if its a new rom, but I do know its unlocked):
ROM version: 1.30.107 WWE
ROM date: 04/11/06
Radio version: 1.09.00
Protocol version: 42.42.P8
ExtROM version: 1.30.162 WWE
Then, I ran into this youtube video and it runs as I would expect it to from a 520mhz processor:
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UIMvqpxvPDo
The video author sent me these 2 images of the rom he's using:
http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=1215198.jpg
http://www.aijaa.com/v.php?i=1215219.jpg
Then, I found this thread for the rom that's actually on the unit.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-291429.html
Regardless of all of that, I'm curious what I should do to get my uni to run at these speeds? And, is it a good idea to run wm6 on a wm5 device?
I am using this Rom build,as it seems the most stable and fast to me.
Actually I cooked the Rom to my needs.
If you want to try it,pm me.
This is an old ROM...
I'd say use the new one it's on thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342944
I haven't flashed it yet but I've read the forum and it seems fast and stable.
Hey thanks for the replies... I'll definitely try the roms. A couple questions though:
How do I find out which uni I have? G3 or G4?
And,
How do I flash my device? Is there a guide somewhere?
Thanks!
I was reading this page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_ROM_Upgrade
But, I can't seem to enter the bootloader. You press the on/off button then soft reset? Right? When I do this it just soft resets like normal, with no boot loader at all.
To enter bootloader...
Hi,
To enter the bootloader you need to press the light and on/off button while pressing the soft-reset button with the stylus. So first press both the light and on/off buttons then do the soft-reset and this will put the device into the bootloader...
Ok I press light/onoff/reset, but the bootloader doesn't work. Also, when I hold in the light/onoff buttons after I press the reset, the device doesn't boot at all!
What happens when in bootloader...
Okay here we are press the light and on/off button then press the stylus into the reset button all of this must be done simultaneously... The device won't reboot but it will come up with a screen showing Serial at the top and a number at the bottom - this is without a backlight so look at it in good light. The number is what they are talking about when they tell you to look for anything below 1.99999 or above 2.0000.
Hah. Duh, of course there's no backlight. Well I definitely have a G4 unit.
The next question is: I'd like to verify that my uni is in fact unlocked, but the link to the CID/EROM utility on wiki doesn't work... anyone know a utility I can use to make sure my uni is in fact unlocked?
Ok I found the utilities to make that work, but after I install the new Rom some hardware buttons don't work (the on/off, directional buttons, camera, display, etc.).
However, the keypad buttons work, which is weird. Anyone know what's going on?
First port of call...
Okay now that you have the new ROM, first thing to do is perform a Hard Reset which clears all the old settings out of the registry, extended ROM and file system... To do this you need to press the two function keys (look like this "__" on the keyboard and then used the stylus to press the reset button it will ask if you want to reset the phone to the factory settings, which you do so press 0. Hopefully this sorts your problems out. If the problems persist just reflash and hard reset and it should be okay...
Ah. It was all the extended Rom cabs that O2 had in. I put them in a backup Rom and now everything works great I think! Will post if I have problems. Thanks! I'm so happy my uni is now functioning like it should!

This is weird. I was trying to upgrade my O2 XDAIIS to WM5, but I got stuck on the bit where you're supposed to press the 'Mail' button to save (after you set the 2 option to 'YES'). It didn't want to save (and reboot).
I decided to downgrade it back to the the original ROM that came when I bought it. I successfully doing that, but now all my four buttons (below the screen) don't work. I had a look on the Button Setup and they are set-up correctly (I even tried to set it to different function).
Any idea ?
Thanks !
I'm too !
I think the ExtRom have a problem !
Any idea !?
Hey Guys,
I have recently bought an Axim x51v and want to upgrade it to WM6, hoever my problem is this, i doenload the chosen new rom which in this case will now be Football's WM6.1 A08 rom, but when i do the restart the bootloader doesent load? so my question is this:
1. Am i doing it correctly - Power + Wifi + Reset button in the back with the stylus then release wifi?
2. If not how is it done,
3. Would i have needed to install the bootloader previously? if so how is this done?
4. Can any of this be done via USB from my PC?
Many thanks for any help on this i am rather anewbie, i previously used an updated rom to update my Orange SPV M3100 (HTC Hermes) which if i remember came with its own PC based flashing utility which made life loads easier.
Any help would be great!
Cheers

Here is what you need to do:
1. You need to format an SD card with 32bit file system.
2. You copy the image and its .CRC in that SD card.
3. You put the SD card in your Axim.
4. You press simulatanously the WiFi+Power+reset.
5. You let go the stylus from the reset once you see the bootloader message.
6. It will take some time to load then it will ask you press the Action key.(the middle one).
7. It will again take some time to flash your Axim. Do not power off or intrupt the process otherwise you will kill your Axim.
8. After completing the flashing process it will ask to hard reset (i.e reset+Power).
REMEMBER: Flashing your Axim will void your warranty. Think twice if you still have an extended warranty.
Hope everything goes well.
Bootloader
Hey thanks for the reply i tried your method however dont get a bootloader message? the screen just stay black , i prob sat for about 10 mins waiting then when i release the buttons it just comes up with the restore factory settings screen?
any ideas?
Many thanks,
P.s. not sure if it makes a difference but im still running the default version of WM5 which was shipped with the device, it hasent been previously flashed (to my knowledge).
I believe you dont hold onto the wifi + power + reset all the time. Try holding the wifi + power first, then push reset and let go of it. Wait until the bootloader come up and then release the other 2. Its been a while since I flash so not really sure but I believe thats the way to do it.
Try this little YouTube video. Is it the exact same procedure with your x51v !
Ah Brilliant it worked, wireless and power, then just press the reset in once and it went straight in!
Many thanks for this guys!
Have had a SPV M700 for a couple of years now. Still happy with the phone, but have noticed the GPS is getting very slow to lock on.
Have read a variety of threads on this and pretty confused.
It is still on WM5
ROM version 1.23.61.5
Radio: 1.30.00.01
Do I need to update just the radio version? if so, is there a basic guide out there to explain the procedure?
Cheers
Yes you have a very old radio. Last one for Trinity is in my signature.
Before flashing radio, you should install hardSPL.
Look for Olipro 1.20 for Trinity.
Press at same time "Power" and "Camera" buttons and hold them while stylus in reset pin next to usb plug
release buttons synchro, then release stylus
Then you must see "serial" down the screen
Connect to PC by USB
Then you must see "USB" down the screen
Install Olipro 1.2 now.
Hard reset after install.
Now to install radio, as simple as to flash ROM.
Press at same time "Power" and "Camera" buttons and hold them while stylus in reset pin next to usb plug
release buttons synchro, then release stylus
Then you must see "serial" down the screen
Connect to PC by USB
Then you must see "USB" down the screen
Install RADIO now.
Hard reset after install.
Then you can flash any ROM (for Trinity) you like : WM5, WM6, WM 6.1, WM 6.5 and any language
brds,
nAr
narshorn , thank you for your explanation
Is it necessary to Install "Olipro 1.2" every time you change Radio or ROM? Or just necessary to install one time (for the first time)?
Thanks
Once is enough (unless you overwrite it with a full rom that includes an SPL).

Thanks for your reply.
I installed a HardSPL 1.40 Olinex. Then Custom RUU 23125 from here. I installed a wm 6.5 (i gues so). I run the OS and i began to personalize my new OS. The system buged and crashed. After reboot (by taking out the battery) the OS wouldn't start. I tried hard reset, but nothing. I am sorry for the very bad english, but i need help urgently ! ! ! I have the phone from 4 days If i only knew what will happen.... Thank you!

I would suggest you by following solution
1.Boot from MTTY way
2.Try SPL 1.93
3.Change your battery--i experienced once when i flash a new ROM and my diamond stuck on "TOUCH DIAMOND-the first screen" and then keep reboot. Then i change my battery, it boot just like nomal.
Good Luck.

OK, so i now can boot the OS, after perssing turn on + down + middle key and format. But every time it stop working at the moment when i have to tap for the last time the screen to let me in. I press, press, press... Press with the finger and with the styler but nothing happened and i have to reboot and do all this shi*s again. What is MTTY and how to install SPL 1.93 without OS on the phone? Thanx !

no need to get back to 1.39 .. olinex 1.40 works fine. maybe just the rom is faulty when after reset+vol down+enter does the same error!
get onto boot loder (reset + vol down) when you get the "serial" label, plug in the usb, do the task 29 to format the phone, and get some other rom, and flash it with provided exe file.

Are you using Atlas rom? or what? This rom has a bug in this moment of installation that sounds like your behavior...
I have several problems with 6.5/6.5.x newer builds before I switch to hardSPL 1.93 developer edition. This hardSPL could be installed to the phone also in the situation when no active sync connection is available. Simply run "installer" and go through the process as usual, you will see that it works...

I am with Energy ROM 2.xxxx. I' ll try this right now.
260 error
it ' s give me error 206 (telephone not connected). How to instal whatever without a USB connection and ActiveSync? It doesn' t work> It' s stuck now on Starting Windows screen: Preparing for first use....."
Flash a stock rom with stock spl from bootloader (press soft reset then volume down ) then re try with hard spl and put another rom like energy rom that works for sure (at least for me)

seems u did not read much before flashing. I guess you can easily solve the problem following Post2. You are doing Hard reset (reset+down+middle). It would not solve the problem. For new flash or mitty you have to go to boot loader screen (reset+down vol. key) (not the middle key). Also Active sync menu: file->connection settings, deselect 'Allow USB connection'.... then start flashing new rom (more details see Mitty or flash thread):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=540290
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
in simple english,
MITTY: for formatting ROM so that no old data will mess up with new rom (not always required but solves many wiered problems)
I once faced such problem , Mitty (once) and flashing rom (twice) solved the problem

Thank you man. It works now. I installed this rom: RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship.exe.
Can you, or anybody give me some advice about which Rom should I install, to install wm 6.5 for my phone. Is there some "light" ROM, or something, for wm6.5 (working).?

Hi.
im a newbie in the flashing of phones, i have a atnT tilt 2, unlocked for mexico, with the new official ROM. i am having too much complaints with this rom, as it freezes constantly, etc.
i want to start to use some energy rom, or a gonzo, as i readed in the forums are some of the most speedy.
when i unlocked the phone ) about two years, with the help of a friend (who i cannot contact now) i vaguely remember making a hard SPL at least for the names of the files used.
but then, how can i know if i have hard spl? is it recommendable to start over and make a new hard spl or can i only try to load a cooked rom into the phone?
thanks in advance
