wow you all do some really great work! I've been reading all the fixes for country ID etc.,... mucho respect to everyone for the research involved in getting the upgrades working.
I have an O2 XDA II uk. The SMS bug is really annoying me and since O2 haven't come out with a new rom yet, I'm tempted to try one of the others.
I guess there's tmobile 1.60? imate... and now a new qtek one as well?
What's the most recent/best rom to go for? Ideally I'd like to KEEP the gprs ALWAYS ON even when turned off/suspend... I believe the tmobile one changes this to disconnect *yuck*.
Any advice welcome.. ps. do we think we've learned enough so that I'll be able to apply an o2 official upgrade over the top of a qtek/tmobile etc? It looks like with the info on changing the ID of the files we have?
best upgrade for 02 xda
I also have an 02 xda II but it was purchased from Asia. Rom version 1.03.00 USA. I would also like to know what is the best upgrade. Thanks, A.

Hi,
I'm successfully using an unlocked 02 XDA 32mb in South Africa. I see on www.myxda.com that 02 has a new software update out, offering many things such as faster GPRS. Sounds great, but what I want to know is, if I install this update, will I suddenly find myself with a locked phone again?
Secondly, does the GPRS baud rate setting make any difference at all?
Thanks,
Justin
No, unlocking using the Maniuplator uses the same mechanism you would have also used if you had been given the unlock code. Hence you will never be relocked by newer versions of the phone software.
Great.. now I can't get the software..
Hi,
That's great, but I tried to register on myxda.com and get the new software, but it won't accept my IMEI (Have double checked for typo's over and over again) - has anyone got the software for me?
Thanks!
Justin
Okay I found the updates on http://www.o2.co.uk/productsservices/xda/romupgradedownload/0,,170,00.html (ROM 3.14.13, RSU 4.16) but just browsing this site there appears to be so many different versions. Is this the latest/best version to use with my xda? It seems there are some bugs, and it may be better to stick with what I Have (ROM 3.02.00 ENG, RSU 4.01)
Quest
Be careful when you upgrade. Make sure it is
the right one or you might end up with a dead xda,
like lots of people who got the wrong upgrade.
It is better to upgrade from where the xda's supplier's web.
For example if you got a O2Xda from O2 Uk, you should
download the upgrade from there to be safe. ok?
ROM updates
My XDA is a Siemens SX%^ att&t can I use the O2 Rom Upgrades? Will I lose any functions? any knowledge? Thanks.
Steve
Jus, the upgrade on the O2 UK site is way better than your current 3.02 ROM. Definately upgrade, you will see big improvements.
Steve G, no your SX56 has different hardware to a UK xda. If you did run this upgrade it would screw it up. You need to speak to your supplier for upgrade software.
hello...
i was just on the phone to a o2 rep and i asked if there was any plans to let XDA users have an upgrade to ppc 2003 through the o2 website...
He said their were plans, however he wasn't totally sure of details...
any one else know? dates? price? etc...
thanks

Invalidates the warrenty though, but you can always put the official one back if you need to send it back.

This only say O2 Asia is not going to release a update. Maybe UK, GErmany or Netherlands will do it....

Stefan
...doubt it. O2 will probably use PPC 2003 as part of the 'selling' packaged used to shift the newer XDA ][ :roll:

Yeh I did think that at first, but then I thought, why the heck would they be posting that on a non - asia related site?
As I believe myxda.com is UK based isn't it :?:
I still can't decide if its worth the risk of putting WM2003 on my XDA or not :?
I don't think they will put that effort in the 'old' XDA. As we all read allong these forums there are to many problems stabilizing 2003 for the XDA. Toooooo much of a hassle customerwise.
Although I am very satisfied with 4.00.10 Works like a charm for me. :lol:
Hello everyone,
First I would like to congratulate all of you for what you are doing. I would say I was more than impressed and if there is anything I can offer you guys I will do that. I am a programmer and currently I am developing Wireless XDA applications. I do have a problem and I am hoping that you might be able to sort me out. I purchased a T-Mobile PW10B1 XDA in United States and it was from T-Mobile Company therefore it is SIM locked. I live in Kenya and I really need to unlock it so as to use it on our local Network. It is having ROM Version O2 3.14 and I tried using 'XDAunlock.exe' but got an error.
Therefore the questions arise, how do I get ROM Version 02 3.16 or higher as I never purchased the gadget from QTek? Secondly, how do I tell if the XDA has Wireless Modem feature and is it mandatory? Lastly, how do I unlock the gadget?
Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Peter.
I just got a NEW o2 xda orbit from ebay, with WM5. Ive got this ROM updater, but im not sure if it will have the o2 branded stuff.
its called RRU_Artemis_O2_UK_3.4.206.2_4.1.13.28_02.67.90_Ship
Sorry if it seems oblivious - I really dont know much about this and dont want to ruin my new orbit.
Also, Would anyone know where to get TOUCHFLO for the o2 xda orbit?
Also, Does anyone know if this can be upgraded to WM6.1 or WM6.5??
Many Thanks
Aman
Anyone?
Need help on that fairly quick!
Does anyone know if they're going to release an official Vodafone ROM upgrade? I've contacted Vodafone and they sent me a text with a link for the orange ROM upgrade??? I was also told around mid-October that it would be released in a week??
are you sure they didnt send you to THIS page for all downloads, , , on which currently the top entry is the orange 3.14 rom? (and is also the page that any carrier 3.14 roms will appear)

Yes samsamuel, it was. I would have preferred it if they'd just said keep and eye on the hTc website, as that's what I've been doing for about 2 months anywez! Thanks for the reply m8. They sent me the following email:
Hello Paul,
Just to let you know that prior to releasing or approving any software update for our Vodafone customers who have bought a handset through Vodafone, we test it thoroughly to ensure it provides customers the best possible experience on our network.
Our testing process begins as soon as we receive the software, which often happens once the manufacturer has already released the open market version of the software.
During the review process, we report any issues with the software back to the manufacturer for them to address. Once the firmware is approved by Vodafone, we return it to the manufacturer and they will then distribute the software to customers through the appropriate channels.
We undertake this process with every device that we sell to customers, regardless of whether or not the handset contains Vodafone branded software.
If you have purchased the device from another company (Phones 4U, Carphone Warehouse etc) it is possible that the device may not be on the Vodafone version of software. In this case the manufacturer would be in control of releasing any future updates.
I trust the above information helps.
Kind regards,
Pravin Raut

Vodafone is so bloody annoying. I remeber it was released first on vodafone rather than orange, so how come orange got update before them. They had released ROM for HD mini, HD2 might be on the way....... no good vodafone !

I agree. I can't understand how orange got their update out before voda? Not only that, they then go and release a ROM upgrade for the hd mini? I just hope it comes out before year end?
