This, I assume, is the very latest UK rom, I had 1.60 before that. Getting the machine tomorrow, will post exact rom then, however I do not know how to copy it and send it you guys, can anyone explain in the simplest term how to do this? I have XP, Thanks
out of interest, what was wrong with the XDAII?
Reply
it would freeze and only a hard reset could fix this when connected to a Socket SDIO card, this would happen every 3 or 4 days.
Re: sent my xda 2 to o2(uk) for repairs, returned UK Rom 1.6

If it's arriving tomorow, how do you already know it's 1.66 mate?
And just for interest, I seem to recall that the GERMAN version of the O2 ROM was just released last week at 1.66 - I wonder if this is a version of this for a UK market, or if O2 are about to release 1.66 over here too.
Anyone know how he can 'reverse assemble' it from his device so he can share it?
i had the same freezing issues but my device was 1.66
but i'm pretty sure that the freezing was due to a 3th party program
been awhile since it froze last
and i doubt it could be a hardware issue since hardreset always works
Mikey Collins - keep us posted on the outcome when it arrives please...
What program caused the crashing ? PocketWinc?
And I know it is coming with 1.66 because I called them. Any idea what sort of programs could have caused this?

What sort of programs could have caused this? The new upgrade you mean or the re-flash?
Could be a number of things mate, though usually a hard reset will cure all your woes.
Let us know what the actual real numbers are, for your ROM, extended ROM etc, when it actually arrives, as what O2 say on the phone, and what happens in real life, are noted for how far apart they tend to be where O2 is concerened.
And there will be an awful lot of people interested in your info, so keep us posted.

I emailed O2 Data Support about this, to see when or if they were intending to release 1.66.
This is my reply back from them:
Hello Mr xxxxxxx,
Thank you for your email,
After querying this with our technical team, we would like you to provide
evidence of the Rom 1.66 occurring, as we believe this not to be the case.
If you are experiencing problems with your XDA, you can replace the device
under warranty via your customer services team.s
Regards,
Paul
O2 Data Support UK
So can you give us some more info, or reply to me off board Mikey? As I suspect it is YOU that is correct, and O2 wrong, and would like to challenge them over this.

how to unlock xda2 rom 1.60.00wwe
i use xda2 unlock.exe
and press yes
get massage phone already unlocked
so how to unlock latest version
or is there after downgrade something like that
waiting for serious reply
To add
It was the technical service team that updated my phone, they warned me about Data Support.... and now you see
new rom?
Sounds good if you are right, and yes i am as critical about o2 as the rest of you, but ive found that there is an easyish way to get through to o2 on the fones if u need sumthing, call their staff accounts people on
0800131211
and since its freefone (in the uk @ least, i guess they have this sorta service elsewhere) it dont matter how long ur on the fone with them.
neway, will it be possible to upload the rom to the site?
Smiley
They are all shipping with 1.66 now
my girlfriend just got a new xd2, same OM as mine.
My xda2 which I am selling on this site also came with the new rom after they replaced the motherboard. I dont know if its me but the screen seems so much better, on a par now with the ipaq 3900 series, bright, clear, good depth of colour etc. Its for sale in the stocking up section of this site if anybody is interested. £350 Uk.
I just purchased an XDA II yesterday, and it also came with ROM version 1.66.00WWE (Incidently, the ROM date shows as 20th Feb 04)

I repeatedly Emailed O2 about this, and eventually there response was that more recent versions of the XDA2 ship with a slightly different screen (hardware wise).
New drivers are needed for this, and this is the ONLY difference in 1.66, which is not available for public download.
I emailed them back to tell them what a load of old cobblers, and that it includes a Cleartype tuner and more.
They went decidedly quiet at that point.
Any chance that O2 have fixed the Handsfree dll problem in Version 1.66? Can you get mp3 / Tom tom audio etc. to come out of the bottom connector? (Many people have a problem with the XDA II that they can only get Phone call audio to go to the bottom connector, even though the T-Mobile ROM's apparently don't have this problem.)
You can use a tool provided free on this site in the tools and software section to download your ROM to an SD card, and I assume that it can also download it to your PC.
I'm by no-means an expert, but I've had a go at fiddling with it so far and this is what I've found...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/CompleteTools
Follow the XDA Tools link and download the program, tell it to read the ROM from the device and Put it on your PC, then you can post it here.
I know this program worked with flashing the ROM from my XDA, never tried it with an XDA II though, although I will try it when I get home tomorrow.
There were a couple of more difficult to use tools provided for the XDA II that need you to log into the 'Bootloader' on the device using a command prompt (Like DOS) style program providxed by HTC (the manufacturers of the XDA and XDA II) but I can't remember where they were and I'm using my girlfriends crappy tinternet connection at the moment and can't be bothered to search the site. I'll have a more detailed set of instructions posted asap if I can find out how to do it all over the weekend.
Other than that, if anyone else can post details of how to do it, I'd be very grateful cos it all seems a lot more complicated with the XDA II to change the ROM than it was with the XDA.
Cheers,
Rom version 1.66.00 wwe
Guys be vvvvv careful when messing with this rom. If you attempt to update it to sort out the caller photograph recognition bugs you are in for a shock. Now you may already now which versions are the "older" versions but I did not and updated with the current official update from the O2 site. My XDA2 is now a one week old doorstop. Any suggestions anybody. I did back up to my SD card before the update but do not have a card reader...............yet!
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
Regards
Chris
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
chris
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
Chris
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!!
Nigel
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.

Chris

Can someone upload it? I have always been a sucker for O2 branding but have no Trion, just a TyTN

Check out this thread that was started yesterday on the same subject - there is a rapidshare link to the ROM.
Cheers,

plz help
can u upload it.my email id is [email protected]
Brilliant!! Thanks a lot!!
has anyone tried this on any other UK carriers yet (specifically tmo)?
Yeah...it lasted 2 minutes before I put black satin back on - and I mean literally two minutes...nothing special, no cooked apps and no space ;-)
And no fancy interface mods!
Smiffy.
i haven't tried black satin yet, maybe i'll give that a go

U forgot to mention the stability and the o2 features for o2 users
I can't really comment on reliability after using it for 2 minutes and as far as features for O2 users - there's nothing in there that can't be, or isn't already, in a cooked ROM - even the today theme is crap - no bubbles to be seen anywhere!
And anyway, as my sig says, I'm not an O2 user.

As a UK T-Mobile customer, I will be trying this when an English version is released.
Does anyone know if the 1.17 Radio with this is identical to the 1.17 we already have?
I think in the past T-Mobile have included a couple of fixes in Radio ROMs upon release...
Looking forward to this - if it's poor I'll just go straight back to KDSKamal!

I would guess so - would think if T-Mobile went to the effort of making a new ROM for the MDA PRO they'd want to release it to all MDA PRO owners.
Don't have an idea as to what kind of time frame we're looking at though. Have ROMs in the past come out for T-MOIBLE.de before they come out in WWE? And if so was it days or weeks or longer before the english release?
I'm tempted to try it out just to see how it feels on the MDA even though it wouldn't make a lot of sense to me (who can barely count to ten in German!)
after I install this new ROM, do I need to install english input? because my keyboard layout is QWERTY not QWERTZ..
if yes, where can I get that english input?
thanks a million..

In that case, the problem could possibly be gotten around by selecting UK or US English in Start-Settings-System-Regional settings and restarting when it tells you, that should map the keys correctly I think
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\OEM\QUERTY
LAYOUT=x
Where x is a numeric value for a specific keyboard

Well, if it's anything like the last T-Mobile ROM (which I've reverted to from your WM5 ROM just for a little bit to try it out) it'll be a bit slower through the menus, will be as stable (and more stable than other cooked ROMs of the past) and will save you the effort of setting up your GPRS and MMS settings!!! (if you're on T-Mobile that is)
Camera app Version?
Could please somebody look which version the camera app on the new 3.3 is?
If its newer than 3.00 (Build22844), can somebody upload it here?

ROM is good
I have install the ROM and I have to say it is until now very fast and Stable ROM . I am returning actually from WM6 and I have to say this ROM compare to any WM6 much faster ( I have use all the WM6 available ROM's).
I am using it nowfor 24 hours and it has given no problems at all. amazingly I have after 24H still some 22mg RAM. Which means no memory leak what so ever

I have some bad news on that actually. I sent this message to T-Mobile support in the UK:
"Hello,
T-Mobile Germany, a few days ago released a new software download for the MDA PRO (AKU3.3). The current English T-Mobile ROM which I am using is extremely dated and I was wondering when an English release of this new download would be made availible on tm-phonedownloads.com?
Manythanks."
Unfortunately, this is the reply I received today:
"Good afternoon Mark.
Thank you for your email.
I am afraid that we will not be releasing another update for the MDA Pro. Generally speaking, we stop updating our phone software when it is discontinued. In this case, the MDA Pro is not part of our current lineup so another software update will not be offered.
Thank you for your time.
Kind regards.
PaulByrne
T-Mobile"
Now I wouldn't consider that a definate no, 'cos I think the MDA PRO is discontinued in Germany too and they've released the update there but who knows... It doesn't look too good though :-( Think the future of the HTC Universal lies in the hands of the Devs...
I'm an HTC Desire owner and have been waiting and waiting for Orange to offer up a date when users can expect an update.
I've called Orange several times now and until now have been given the usual ' this update usually takes up to four weeks'.......that is until now.
I just got off the phone with Orange customer service and the call operator and I had a quick chat, he popped me on hold for about a minute then came back and told me they now have on their systems a release date of August 27th. He confirmed that I wil receive a text message telling me to download the update and that's still I'll need to do.
I thought I would share so other Orange UK Desire owners can also relax with the checking system updates every 5 minutes.
Awesome.

The RUU won't be out for a while if at all, will probably just be an OTA for now.
must be a way to write a script to check the servers manually?
Bear in mind that if you apply the Orange froyo update you won't be able to root, and you probably won't be able to downgrade, leaving no options to debrand or root at all.

At least for a while (maybe forever)
It's something to be very wary of for anyone who wants to try out Orange's update. People who updated to the Vodafone froyo release are in the same position.
