sent my xda 2 to o2(uk) for repairs, returned UK Rom 1.66

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.

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!

Full Tmobile Wm6!!!!!

I HAVE FULL WM6! NOT BETA! FULL TMOBILE BRANDED WM6 FOR THE DASH!!!
i have good news, and bad news
good: its AMAZING, every issue was solved, i cant get this thing to hang, or find ANY problems, EVERYONE NEEDS TO GET THIS!!!!
bad: it was installed onto my device by HTC, and i have no idea how to get it off, if someone can tell me how to download it so others can use it let me know

very kewl post the rom version radio version ext... that would be great. screenshots would be good too

it LOOKS exactly like the beta, just runs properly, and ALOT faster, and uses less ram, even beter then after removing snapin from the beta version
windows ce 5.2.1236
build 17741.0.2.1
radio version 4.1.13.34_02.79.90

htc messed with your rom? Was it in for service or purchased this way?
why would htc do that?

HTC as a whole dident, i know people, but this person wouldent give me the file, but he did updat my dash

thats cool
did he say if the htc version was ready yet?
i wonder why they are waiting until may 4 if the rom is ready now...

its part of a licence agreement with microsoft, microsoft wont let them release it yet

lol. figures that ms would want to control everything.
maybe it has something to do with live messenger and live update.
can't wait to check it out

Sorry I do not mean to pretend to know more than HTC or the original poster (being sincere here, no sarcasm), but I have an OMAP 2430 with Wm6, with an awful H264 decoder issue that I cant fix. (DSP level error). So unless these guys are using other hardware or DSPs I would expect at least 1 more version... sorry cant say my deadline.

Official Windows m\Mobile 6 Rom
This rom will be available for download on t-mobiles website May 4th. all dash an mda owners will be able to download it free from their my t-mobile account.

where did you hear that? I was thinking more like June because of todays announcement by HTC.

MDA ????? i thought it was only going to be the dash for an upgrade not the mda??? thats why i got rid of the mda and kept my dash. Any clarification on this if it is TRUE?
thanks

Does that ROM have other languages than US english ?

So is there no way to get this ROM off his phone?

I guess I'm one of the few who like the t9 option.
I find it makes text messaging and websurfing much faster.

I'm with ya.... I wish t9 would be even more predictive.

I hate the T9..im glad it can be turned off thru the OS.

Update/Correction to my earlier post
I apologize the mda will not have an update to wm6 from t-mobile. however dash is all set for upgrade release may 4th. cant wait.

I can't wait neither! Not only is this ROM coming out that day, but I'll be finally done with my finals!

If I use the Vodafone ROM, would connection settings automatically set to T-Mobile or default to Vodafone's?

Yes the defaults would be Vodafone and not T Mobile, but thats not a problem you can change it.

My MDA set these settings automatically. I would not have a clue what to set or where to begin!
Is there a CAB file that can do this? It would be real useful to have a cab file for each of the main UK networks.
The people who have updated to this ROM, whats the battery life like? Better, worse or same?
Also does anyone have a Vodafone HTC TD User Manual so that we can see what the Voda foftware looks like and contains?

Will this install ok with the hard SPL? or will it get bricked as its not the OEM SLP?
Thanks,
Mark

Just answered my own question.. yes it does install fine.
Looks like they've nicked Duttys Rom. The animations have gone on TF3D. The A to Z scroll has been added on the weather app. Speaking of which the author of this spells my town as Baskingtoke instead of Basingstoke, no big deal but always gets a larf when someone sees it. Is there a way of editing this?
Radio ROM is 1.00.25.05

Installed the update last night, Radio hasn't changed and still is 1.00.25.03. Not happy that Voda haven't updated the Radio
Will post angry message on Voda's forum, once it starts working again
On a positive note, the update has increased the general speed of the TD.

Its probably a bit early to ask, but in your opinion, has the battery life improved? Also is it a VODA TD that you updated or another (Orange TD or T-Mobile MDA C4)

[ROM] Wanted - Official Orange UK 2.03 ROM - Is it out yet?

Hi,
After numerous searches I so far haven't found anything...
Lots of links to the official 1.97 rom hosted on a random orange domain name. Nothing linked from the Orange site though.
Anyone else already got this or know when it may be released?
Thanks
Rob

I would not have though so - Orange are very slow at updating their ROM.
There have been phones past to me from orange retail recently that still have the June 08 ROM on lol

But there is a new home screen (analog and digital clock together) theme from orange in the themes and application section.

waiting for orange...... don't hold your breath

It's not going to happen any time soon, if at all.
Orange like to wait for the ROM to be established before upgrading to it. Then they need to stick their software all over it and ruin it!

Orange Retail are still supplying the original ROM from June 08 - LOL, despite the dummy models showing the analog clock Orange FR interface from last year also.

i contacted them last week regarding rom updates they basically told me to go onto google

Search this forum.
The 2.04.73 firmware is out (FR)

Froyo update rolling out this week(end)

The ROM is now available, download.
----
The update is now confirmed and it will be available this weekend:
The Android 2.2 (FroYo) update for HTC Desire will start rolling out across Europe this weekend. As well as including the complete set of Android 2.2 features, the update will contain a few special additions of our own through the latest iteration of HTC Sense. The update will provide 720p video capture, HTC's App Share widget, as well as our enhanced HTC Caller ID, and improved multi-language keyboard. Also, through the update, HTC Sync will allow HTC Desire users to sync their music with iTunes.
HTC Desire users will be notified that the over-the-air update is available to download when their phone automatically checks for software updates. The update won't delete any of the phone's content. However, due to the size of the update, we would advise using a WiFi connection to download it wherever possible to avoid additional data charges.
This update will initially roll out to unlocked HTC Desire handsets. Operator specific versions of the update are undergoing testing and we expect to make them available in several weeks' time.

As seen in this news item on the dutch site Tweakers.net, Mark Moons (HTC Director Benelux) says that the froyo update for the Desire will begin to roll out this thursday (tomorrow).
I think this news update is very reliable as Mark Moons also tweeted it "We will start updating the Desire to 2.2 tomorrow, later more devices".
What do you think?

Read the same thing, I am hopeful.
However called the support line and they did not have official release date yet, but then again what do they know.
(i was actually the person which pointed them to the twitter feed)

I think we can assume Mark Moons wouldn't **** us about a Froyo roll out. I have to say they did it quite speedy.
Sent from my HTC Desire using XDA App

Yeah! Just saw it as well (lol, 3 dutchies in 1 forum).
I'm looking forward to this week.

any guesses how many threads we can get going with the same thing?

Omg dutch people only thread =D

how very racist of you!
lol.
but yeah, it's on apparently, at least for the cloggies!

racists!! *justkidding*
that would be really nice news, so it would be awesome if you guys could report, if thats true.
hope in germany we're going to get it too

i'm from belgium but i speak dutch to so i want to say to i'm really happy, maybe im going back to the official rom

Wont be shocking for us flashers whove seen froyo before.but its nice to have the official update released.

He just posted a new message:
.Veel (o.a.) Tweakers kijken uit naar 2.2 met extra aandacht voor een specifieke feature.... maar 1 belangrijke wordt niet genoemd! rara...
(many (among others) Tweakers (dutch tech website) are looking forward to 2.2 with extra attention to a specific function (from replies on tweakers.net i deduce the a2sd function).....but 1 important one is not mentioned! who can guess it...
I'm guessing 720P recording.
It is now also posted on the official HTC NL twitter page:
http://twitter.com/HTC_NL

yes it´s comming....

even if the official 2.2 one will be released tomorrow, I will still wait for a custom one with A2SD+!

sorry i don't understand what you mean with A2SD+??? i thought this is a built-in feature of froyo? or do you mean something different?
it would be great if froyo would come tomorrow... i thought of rooting my desire this week, but now i will wait to see if froyo is officially coming to the desire

A2SD+ is a script that can install ALL apps to the SD-card on a new partition. Froyo can move and install all the apps to a seperate folder on your SD when the developer stated so.

Will Desire update by it self? i mean all i need is wifi turned on and check for updates in About Phone section?

Probably, it will be an over-the-air update and it will roll out over a few days because of bandwidth limits.

Personally i would advise anyone using debranded phones to use their gold cards when doing any possible OTA updates to avoid the problems experienced with the last OTA update!
