Hi all!
Well, I have a problem. I am new to upgrading my XDA II, and I blindly jumped into updating my ROM without fully understanding what I was getting myself into. Shame on me, I know. I didn't back up my original ROM, and now I want to go back to the original ROM. Here is what I currently have:
ROM version: 1.52.00WWE
ROM date: 10/23/03
Radio version: 1.06.01
Protocol version: 1337.16
ExtROM version: 1.52.83
I want to go back to the original ROM because I don't have time to reinstall and reconfigure all of my software, but I do have an xBackup on my SD card from before my upgrade. I want to downgrade to the 1.03 USA ROM and then restore from this backup.
I would really appreciate any help anybody can give me. I've been searching for a total of like 10 hours and I can't figure this out. Thanks in advance, everyone; I appreciate your time.
PS> This is the version I want to go back to:
ROM: 1.03.00 USA
ROM DATE:09/24/03
RADIO:1.05.14
PROTOCOL:1337.14
:lol:
Well, if anyone figures this out, please let me know; in the mean time, I've decided to just reinstall all of my software.
If you want downgrade to USA 1.03 then you need to have the 1.03 rom on SD CArd the bootloaded your XDA then only can downgrade, but not sure it work, if you need the 1.03 rom I can send it to you. You must remember you upgrade then go downgrade is difficle.
Thanks anyway, but I've got my XDA II back to where I want it.

From the above you mention you have the original ROM, (1.03) but do you have the Radio and Ext_ROM roms? I'm trying to fully revert back from:
R: 1.52.00WWE
G: 1337.16
D: 1.06.01
Ext: 1.52.83
Back to...
R: 1.05.12
G: 1337.12
D: 1.03.00 USA
Thanks,
Could anyone post all of the original USA 1.03 ROM, radio, etc. components for O2 on this thread ?
Thanks

Please tell me where to get 1.03 rom.
Thank you in advance.
Why a downgrade?
I wanted to upgrade my software.
Can you tell me why are you going to downgrade it?
Did you have any problems?
Thanks for the answer,

Hi Urosh,
Just wanted to confirm the following problem that happens sometime since upgrade:
1. Radio signal delay time longer.
2. GPRS connecting also take loger time.
3. Sometime not alarm, though soft reset before turn off.
4. Sometime phone not ringing.
Hope that anyone can help me to confirm this problem.
Thank you,
[Urosh] If you are asking me why I want to downgrade, it is because I am experiencing problems with phone signal and battery life. The whole, long story is here...

If you read it you’ll see others seem to be running fine... It’s up to you, but the upgrade doesn't really seem to 'fix' anything... so its kinda like "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Alternately, if you still really want to upgrade you should make sure you get ALL the ROM backed up first, so that you can return.

greetings!
i presently have a
xda 1 here in the philippines
rom version: 3.14.17 ENG
radio version: 4.16
protocol version: 32S54
my question is, is it advisable or necessary to upgrade my rom version to the new version found at 02 official site? i already downloaded it but i haven't installed it yet.
i've learned in the forums the golden rule that DON'T TOUCH THE RADIO VERSION AS LONG AS IT WORKS. so i will not ask bout the radio version anymore.
please help me...thanks!
if you can extract the ROM upgrade files only, then it's OK to go to any WM2003 ROM
my device is only WM2002. does it matter? is it ok to upgrade the ROM to the latest version 3.20.06?
I upgraded mine last night - there are a few subtle differences.

ROM 3.20 is PPC2002 not a WM2003 ... you can upgrade to 4.01.16 if you still want WM2003 ROM
Once again, don't touch the RSU!! ... play with the ROM only
thanks guys!
sorry guy's another question cause for everybody's info im just a newbie and i'm scared of messin up my phone. anyway, i've read problems with the synchronization or restoring data on the phone after upgrading the ROM here in the forums. will i just follow the steps given by myxda.com? or i really need to back up my ROM to an SD still?
sorry guys just wanna make sure. thanks!
it's strongly recommended to backup the current ROM to SD card ... I mean the backup option in the bootloader menu not the xbackup utility
Hi,
I am a Filipino and I have an XDA II with
ROM version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.08.00
Protocol version: 1337.18
ExtROM version: 1.66.165
Can I upgrade my ROM to version 1.72?
What file shall I use?
How do I upgrade?
Will upgrading affect my settings with the service provider, GLOBE
TELECOMS?
Shall I wait for O2 to release their updated ROM for Asia?
Please help me. I always get an unexpected hard reset(my fon won't turn on). What is the best option?
THANX!
yes you can... its up to you if you want to wait for the official O2 release, or if the hard reset keeps on bugging you, you can upgrade it using the official IMATE release... but you should save the provider settings and all.. or either that, or call up your operator for the GPRS settings.
just follow this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10866
Thanx Waxx! I'll try it tom. I hope it will solve the hard reset bug that I've been reading and experiencing. I've noticed that most of us who get unexpected hard resets have ROM ver 1.66WWE. O2 is really unfair for being silent on this topic.
One last question, what will the O2.cab do? Just restore the O2 startup screen? Will the new ROM 1.72 have "autoconfig" program? Can I use autoconfig to setup GPRS and Internet?
Thanx again!
im not familiar with congfiguration... because mine didnt have the auto configuration.. im thinking that youre referring to auto configuration for the asian ROMs for the settings?? if that is so, then im afraid that upon upgrading, you wont have the autoconfiguration option. this is because you are upgrading your ROM with an imate 1.72 (another provider) and it is based on UK.. so i guess no asian autoconfig. if ever there would be an autoconfig button, im sure it would be of the european providers. but i really dont see an autoconfig button.
as always exercise extreme caution when upgrading...when you put in the 1.72 rom downgrading will be difficult...beware :shock: :shock: beware :shock: you might end up having more than you bargained for. :wink:
regarding the hard resets; you may want to perform another hard reset but don't install any programs / apps. run the unit as it is; "naked" and without any new stuff installed. if the phone still hangs then go for the upgrade. if not; well as the thread says it's your choice :wink:
cheers
I recently purchased a Himalaya XDAIIi that is currently locked to O2. I want to use it in the US on TMobile. Can someone help get me started in upgrading the radio, OS, and the ROM. I have been reading all the different threads on the forum, but not sure what if anything will work on the XDAIIi or where to even start.
I am really new to the XDA scene, and would greatly appreciate any suggestions so I can start using this apparently awesome device.
Current stats:
ROM version: 1.10.00 WWE
ROM date: 12/24/04
Radio version: 1.00.00
Protocol version: 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.10.124 WWE
Will upgrading the ROM unlock the phone?
Thanks in advance for any help.
To date I don't know of any rom upgrdes for this device, whilst there is one planned from O2 it has not been released yet
i think you mean unlocking and not upgrading/...
as far as unlocking go ..there are quite a few threads on this forum regarding that.. personally i used imei check .com..
as far as upgrading goes.. none exists as no upgrade rom has been released yet...
jump on the bandwagon.. were all waiting for it..
co-signing with Zohaer on imei-check. I found them to be excellent.
http://www.imei-check.com/
Thanks for the help. I guess I will get in line for waiting for upgrades. Unfortunately, since I am in the US, I'm not sure I will be able to take advantage of any released by O2. I guess I have to hope TMobile will pick up the XDAIIi at some point.
I will keep checking back if you come across any updates. I will give IMEI-check a look.
Have either of you upgraded to WM2005? Would that be a good idea? Sounds like its full of great features.
K
as per topic, can someone give me a link to it? else im gonna just send my phone in for repairs
can't fix my radio stack rom!!!! arghhh!!! *cries*
thanks in advance.....!
How does...

...sound to you? I have the ROM image on my backup SD card. If someone can point me to the post for pulling it I can let you have a copy.
I also still have the ROM update software on my PC for that version.
Would this http://www.qtek.nl/2020_updates.asp be of any help to you?
Hi i just currently a bit happy with my HTC 8525 after unbricking using Sleuth's v3.2 ROM..i do thanks to sleuth's for his Nice customize ROM.
Anyway after using the said ROM why my 8525 lossing Radio?when i soft reset it shows NO GSM? and also no IMEI in device info? now i got confused on this ill thinking to write a radio only but before that ill ask some opinion here on what should be the right choice of file should i use?i take off my hat and vowed to al who help me.
my device info:
ROM Version: 3.2 Sleuth
ROM Date: 07/05/07
Radio Version:
Protocol Version:
i think im lost in woods... anyone could help on how to fix radio problem? i also search the thread but i ended always bricked.(bootloader only).
Why dont you flash Hard SPl, Flash Sleuth's Rom, then flash a radio of your choice... Unless im missing something inbetween... If you phone isnt bricked you should have no problem flashing.

Complete walkthru... I'd recommend flashing the new 1.51 radio and see how that works for you.
