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.
I just got a brand new htc touch pro2 (rhod100) that was a test unit. I think it's an international phone, but I have no idea if it's unlocked or not -- whether this would work on Sprint or AT&T or what in the U.S.
I'd like to go install a stable version of Android (2.2 is fine) and use it in the U.S. on AT&T and for international travel.
ROM is 1.19.401.0, Radio is 3.44.25.27
Any suggestions where to start?
I've rooted and flashed both Windows and Android phones before, but am not an expert.
Appreciate any help or pointers you all could give.

first step in this, as you probably know, is to hardspl. Android over SD could work anyway even with stock rom, if my memory doesnt fail but it is always recommended to do it.
after that, one of the easiest ways to install android on SD is using Project Android.CAB, it install everything according to where it is supposed to be and then you just open the APP, select model and boot it. any more guidance? there are a lot of topics on the android section on TP2 but if you feel confused just ask.
i would recommend FRX07.1 Complete FroYo Bundle to start with
Hi guys,
I got a ionk tp8-1200qc around which needs a newer Android System.
I would be fine with any 5.0 Version or higher. As far as i know its an Allwinner inside if this makes a difference at all.
Maybe one can provide me with some help?
Thank you in advance
Doesnt have anybody an idear?
Hi All,
I have this unit:
MCU Version
2017-03-21 11:20:39 RUL_(NOR)_90_C9_685x5009_CAN_ALL_Newlap_AMP
CPU Info
Intel Atom 4QuadCore, GPU4D Mail-450 MP4
Android 5.1.1
I would to upgrade to android 6 (or higer). I'm not sure which one choose. I do not want to make a brick. Can you post a link that rom will be ok? Which root procedure is OK for my unit? Is it possible to install the original Joying ROM? My current version radio and menu looks terrible. It's look like from app for kids
I'm sorry for my English.
regards
Please I need your help, I am extremely worried trying to return my DVD CAR to its initial state.
My unit originally had the following data:
MCU: MTCD_KGL_V1.40_1
Android 5.1.1
rk3188-userdebug 09032016
Then, looking for improvements, update the firmware to the version
[ROM] [PX3] [RK3188] [Nougat] [7.1.2] Hal9k ROM 2 for ALL RK3188 / PX3 MTCD / E.
Instead of improving my equipment, it became very slow, play store services do not work for me and almost all applications give me an error.
Please I am not criticizing this version, I am sure the errors that I mention are due to an incorrect installation of my part.
The biggest problem of all is that I can not find a way to return to my old installation with Android 5.1.
Please I'm going crazy looking for a way to restore my equipment but for more I read the different posts every time it gets more complicated "
1- What should be the proper firmware to install
2- Where is the rom stock that I must download, etc etc
I would eternally thank whoever can help me out and give me some advice.
I hope your help
