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!
Hello, I'm in need of someones help. I'm new to this forum but have dabbled in Pda's since CE. Here is my problem. I have a .pbf file from my HX4700 that as I've found will not open on anything other than an HX4700 running WM2003. I've gone as far as contacting Sprite Software and found that out. Now, here is my question. Is there anyone out there still running the older version (2003/2003se) that could help me get my contacts back? This is very important to me since the PDA was destroyed in a car wreck and everyone I know is in the contact list from the last ten years. So, I did save the .pbf file on a hard drive prior to that. This is what I'm thinking. I read a thread somewhere that one guy sent his .pbf file to another with a like PDA and then he restored it to the unit and then... well will it copy and past into a pocket excel document or something? Shot in the dark here. What do you think?
I now have the AT&T Tilt and love its functionality. I had to get the ROM update and some newer software to make it a sweet piece though.
Thanks in advance to all.
Dear xda-developers forum,
I just bought an HTC artemis, very nice phone, and was searching for apps for it, most of links in the search engines returned to here ( xda-developers ), so I thought..this must be the best website on the net specialized in PPC, so I registered..and this is my first post
To be honest i always were a symbian fan, but i wanted to break the rule this time, I'm new in windows mobile world..please help me!
I just have one question: Can anyone tell me how to install the latest version of WM6 (I currently have some WM5 version), and then show me how to turn it into a nice touchflo device (what's this cooking all about)???
Thank youuuuuuu!
Have a bit more of a read round the forums and then carefully follow the instructions for installing a new ROM.
I've got 6.1 with touch working though I have to say that the touch stuff is very limited.
Once you've worked through it, it is easy enough as long as you follow each step carefully.

Did you buy a new phone or a used one? Just wondering since new phones come with WM6 & not WM5, I got a new one 4 months back.
And like knightnet said, have a look around thr forums, check out the wiki & you will see guides on installing a custom ROM. You can try it out but personally I'm not a fan of TouchFlo on the Artemis - it ain't got the processor or memory for that, TouchFlo is heavy. You can also find the new TouchFlo versions around in the forum, the kinds which come with Diamond & later phones with those smooth sliding. That TouchFlo is pretty slick & I like it a lot & had it on my Artemis for a week but then removed it as the phone has become too slow to bear it.

im on this forum for the last 6 hours learning how to upgrade the phone, thinks a little clearer now, but i have new questions (that makes me a noob, saw this term used here when a pro wants to pick on a beginner, i really dont know what that exactly means )...
so i want to know if i can backup the original rom before doing an upgrade, or is there a place to download them??
I have :
ROM version 1.12.415.1 WWE
Radio version 2.67.90 (which is old compared to the ones available here)

There are some standard ROMs available I think, I remember seeing some when I was looking to change mine (it's been a while I'm afraid so I'm a bit hazy). But you can and should back-up your own.
It isn't easy being a "noob" in phone upgrading - I remember what it was like & I wasn't being nasty to you (honest!) but the instructions on the wiki are clear after you have followed them carefully. If you've backed up your existing ROM and taken out any additional memory cards (oh, and charged up the phone before starting - just in case), there is really no danger of "bricking" your phone.
Don't forget to back up any information on the phone as well. I use the excellent PIM Backup for that as I can shedule it to do a daily backup of all of the PIM (Calendar, contacts, tasks, notes) data and any other data I want (I back up the internal memory "My Documents" folder) to the memory card in the phone and then regularly copy that to my PC (and from their back up to a server on a different continent - though I am a bit paranoid about my data!).
So go for it

I expect that there is since all FLASH memory has a limit.
However, you won't be hitting it any time soon even if you were to FLASH a couple of times a day!
I'm not sure which thread to post this query in, but have tried to delete from other threads and can't find out how, sorry.
Anyway on to my query.
Hi folks, i have just bought an 02 XDA orbit 1, and i really like the device although one of my gripes is that the keyboard is too small for texting.
I am running windows Mobile 6.1 professional, ROM version 'Oops black WWE' and I have a 1gb micro sd installed.
can you please let me know if the keyboard 'EZIMPUT 2.1 will work ok on my device in English? and could someone please point me to the link for the best version to use with my device specs?
Sorry also, I am really new to Windows mobile, is it just a matter of putting the cab onto the phone and installing it from there?
Also, sorry again, but is there any way to get the screen to dim completely after the time out. mine still shows and although dim, may be enough to be using the battery.
Thank you very much
Steve
Hey everyone,
I have a Mach Speed Trio Stealth Pro 9.7 that was essentially bricked when it was given to me, and did a bunch of research, including disassembly, I found some info printed on the mainboard and was able to determine the Chinese manufacturer.
As it turns out Mach Speed is merely an importer. This Tablet was actually manufactured by Wintouch in China.
What is even more interesting is that instead of it having 8gb of internal memory, it actually has 16gb.
I was able to obtain the stock firmware img from Wintouch and loaded it to a microSD card using PhoenixCard 3.09.
Once I slapped it in the tablet, it ticked it's happy way into a new image. Another interesting point is that the tablet language default was Arabic, and I had to actually reset it with adb shell.
setprop persist.sys.language en; setprop persist.sys.country us
The proper firmware image is Q91A30321.img. WIFI/Bluetooth, audio, everything works! There is a later firmware Q91J30412.img but I think this is for the Stealth Pro 9.7c tablet, do not grab this one as the orientation no longer works. Another thing is that the image from Wintouch seems to be a heck of a lot better performance wise. You can get the firmware from the manufacturers site, if you cant read Chinese just open the URL in chrome and go to the download page & translate it.
I figured I'd put this up here for posterity, incase anyone else had this annoying thing.
If you have any questions, let me know!
Hammerite, is there any way you could provide a link to the website or upload it here? I am in the same situation with a dead trio except that I have the 9.7c Any idea if this would work for it?
Went here: h t t p ://xxx.wintouch.ae/?page_id=126 but it is in Chinese. Could you upload both of the img files that you mentioned? thanx
Finally
To find that img file just google the name.
I sure hope you're right, because I've been looking for this firmware to fix a friend's Trio Stealth for a very long time. If this works you're a real lifesaver!
Crap! It didn't work on my Stealth 9.7. The search continues.
