Hi
i read lots of information here on rom upgrade to XDA II, i currently have ver 1.60.00WWE english and i see that a new version exits but, the new version is for Tmobile or O2 operators.
i try to install the O2 version but give an error concerning "country ID"
anyone can help me to find a generic english rom upgrade that i can install on my xda2?
thanks in advance.

Hi Paulo!
Yo should make a bit of research through the forum, there is plenty of instructions on how to do this and the best way to go.
I personnally recommend the Qtek Dangaard ROM. It's quite stable and free of "carrier customized" things. Just clean and fast. It's worth the try.
Good Luck!
:wink:
Hi,
thanks for the reply.
in fact i see lots of references here to the dagaard Rom and i even try the ftp site to make the downloasd. unfortunately i can't enter the site and i don't see any other place where i can find this famous rom.
if for any reason you read this msg and know a place where i can download it i appreciate the you told me
thanks in advance
I made a bit of research for you.
Try this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4857
and follow carefully the instructions.
The ftp site is working, I didn't try to download the ROM again, but it seems to be up and running.
Good luck!
:wink:

hi has anyone got a uk T Mobile Rom latest version or a rom i can use to upgrade my uk 1.60 T Mobile Rom to, as being fairley new to this i seem to be having trouble using any other roms. also could anyone tell me what is the latest and best rom available
Cheers Burgs 8)
Best ROM available is the 1.72.00WWE rom from Qtek or iMate.
To use it you will have to modify the country-id (which contains the provider name).
Just download one of those roms from this site (search for RUU172*)
Follow instructions on the wiki part of this site
Upgrade the Radio and the OS only!
Dont use the Extended ROM (ms_.nbf file) as supplied (ie delete it before the update) as it contains specific customisations from the supplying operators. You might wanna try my 1.72.901 Extended Rom archive (also search this forum) for that.
Hi Edsub,
what about RadioROM 1.17?
Worse or better than 1.14?
I have no experience with Radio 1.17, YET
Planned for next week
BTW Edsub,
see my post http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11618
231 people read this one so far and no one is offering help.
Could you help the less gifted (me)?
Sorry, but on the following page is a description that does the trick:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing
I just found that it sure is hard to find via the menu's. Fortunately I stored a shortcut to it myself.
Hi Edsub,
thanks! That was what i was looking for (for starters).
Lets see if i can make something of this......
To al the others:
thanks for helping me out!
Hi folks,
I have an i-mate with the following specs:
ROM : 1.72.00WWE
Radio : 1.14.00
Protocol : 1337.24
Ext ROM : 1.72.800
After going through the numerous posts here, I am thoroughly confused. Can someone please clarify the following:
1. Is is better to upgrade to the new O2 ROM? If so which one, since I understand there are 2 versions.
2. If I do upgrade, there seems to be something called O2 active. Would this or any other settings hamper the usage of my phone since I live in India?
3. Can I have the procedure to do this upgrade?
My humble apologies if some of these questions have been answered before, but frankly, I am completely lost! :? Thanks a ton in advance.
Cheers!

Lakshman,
Will try to help you out once by compiling everthing from other threads:
1) There are 2 versions: (thanks to Nighthawk)
- v1.72.187 does not have Blackberry software built in. If you need to use a permanent GPRS connection that will remain connected when phone is used, you should use 187 version.
- v1.72.181 features Blackberry, will disconnect any connection when phone rings, except the Blackberry, Mobile Web and WAP connections. But so far haven't heard of any non UK O2 users able to use the Blackberry.
2) About 02 Active, i find it pretty but useless to non UK 02 users; therefore, once you upgraded your ROM it will prompt you for O2 Active Settings like Country, GPRS or GSM, just hit 'Cancel' and it won't install the GRPS or other network settings. You can still use the O2 Active but a lot of function will not be available for use in India. I removed mine.
3) Not too sure if your unit is CDL or O2 (info from HimaGetDeviceData.exe) but my upgrade was no issue at all; i just download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12515 and ran the upgrade. If you encounter country ID error, then you would have to refer to DCS's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12101
Hope this helps.

You mean I canot use my GPRS after cancelling and what other network settings are you referring to?
Can you elaborate? Thanks
:roll:
RE
Hi Lazzy,
Thanks to your input, I went through the upgrade successfully. Many thanks to DCS for his excellent step-by-step guide to fix country id errors.
I am now facing a curious problem. I downloaded the Appsuite for XDA II provided in one of the forums here. When I try to install the utilities I get an error on my PPC saying could not install, "please upgrade your ROM and try again!" But I believe I have the latest ROM now. Could someone please advise. :?
Cheers!

We are trying to sort this one out Hopefully someone will come up with an answer soon.
Hi guys,
thanks for running an awsom website...
I just want some clarification on this thread.
So it is okay to upgrade an i-mate with an O2 Rom such as v1.72.181 and is this the best ROM for devices such as the I-mate currently?
Anyone? please answer my previous question as I really want to upgrade...
bump..
As for the os and radio you can use any 1.72 / 1.17 rom.
The differencen between al the roms is in the extended rom and thus just a matter of functionality you want : choose anyone you like and use dcs' guide to upgrade.
thanks man, I appreciate it.
Re: RE live in Dubai - UAE, can I upgrade with this ROM
I live in Dubai UAE, can I upgrade my Imate with this ROM
To whom upgraded to WM2003 SE.
What's the Ultimate SE ROM you used and you think that's the most stable one. I already upgraded to WM2003 SE the 2.06 but I didn't cook the Ultimate Extended_Rom.
Thus, I'm asking you in order to get the most stable device using the latest upgrades. Plz tell me what should I use bcz the merged one and the chinese I didn't try it yet but am looking for the easiest way to sort out a good ROM thus, I read and searched, but still I'm not convinced since the both english ROM are Beta....Waiting your answer.
Thank you.
Look here. This one is the best for me. It's really good ROM. You won't have any problems

give me the details of your telco...i'll cooked you a good ROM.
Should choose an Asia rom or an Australia rom?
I bought a used XDA II on Ebay. How do I determine if I should try an Asia rom (like Philippine WM2003se xdall Upgrade xda2jojo ver3.0?) or a Austrailia rom (like Sin.Merged.v2.0?). Or is the "Genuine English WM2003 SE upgrade for Himalaya" the way to go? Should I use the versions linked in the forums or are there more current or better versions on the FTP site?
My carrier is Cingular in the U.S.
Thanks

we(and sin) are using the same based ROM...
Hello everyone,
Please I have a very big problem that I would like someone to help me. I have a Dopod CHT 9000 which is Chinese language or ROM. I would like someone to give me direct link to where I can download WWE ROM to upgrade it?
Also I would like to know if I can upgrade it with Cingular 8525 WWE ROM? Please mods I need your help.
Thanks in advance.
All the official ROM's were removed from this forum on the insistence of M$ - I don't even know if we are allowed to post links to these roms, so maybe no one can openly help.
But more to the point, since Feb this year you have had:
MDA Vario II - you want to sim unlock.
Qtek 8100 - you want to sim unlock.
XDA Wiza 200 ? - You want to change language from German to English.
2 x SPV C600 - You want to sim unlock.
Dopod CHT 9000 - You want to upgrade Chinese rom to WWE rom.
Either you are absolutely useless with phones, or dealing in them (either way is no problem) - BUT with so many phones with similar 'problems' I'd have thought it more appropriate that you learn how to do some of the work yourself - try to RTFW instead of your 'Urgent' posts.

@ach2 nice work my dear watson
@babyelephantt
read the wiki all the ROMs are in there, and if you have indeed upgraded/possesed so many device...why are you asking this?? you REALLY should know by now that "please help me!" is not a good way to ask for help.
I also stand corrected - I thought these Roms had been removed so didn't even bother looking
The link to the WWE roms is here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades Scroll to the right to find the download mirrors

I have found an English ROM for it. [Dopod Asia WWE UNI_DopodAsia_11369_183_10402_ship.exe and CHT_ENG.exe] which one can I use to upgrade the ROM?
No one can tell you which rom to use - any should work. Just try them and see if you like them. I've tried all the Dopod WWE roms on my vodafone VPA1605 with no problem (before WM6 came out).
Try also reading mrvanx's guide - it's in his signature in post no. 3 of this thread

You REALLY need to read through the wiki, all the info you need is in there, you obviously havent taken any time to read through it. This thread will be closed now.
everything you need is in the wiki. i suggest you read it to avoid trashing your phone.
thread closed
OK ... I try to claim my hermes, but I have flashed ROM there. So I think it would be best to flash there official ROM.
I have found link in the wiki for the ExtRom, but it's dead probably.
So i desperatly need your help.
What about your Telcos support site, they generally hae the firmware upgrade there for a long time. Would be best to check...
Cheers...
