Hi there....
I recently downloaded all of the 1.60.50 rom update from o2's website and went through all of the update process. However, when I look at the system it still ays its 1.60.00WWE.
Have I done something wrong?
I'll bet if you look at the extended ROM - IT IS version 1.60.50. This is usually the number they are referring to when they list ROM revisions.
Yep.... It is, my error
Anyone for humble pie?
I did this, when I already had the updated version on my XDAII!! I wrote to O2 about this but recieved no comment.
They should warn that you need to check which ROM version you have and what version you will end up with i.e. ROM 1.60.00WWE and extROM 1.60.50. I advised them that I risked frying my machine with an unneccessary up grade. As usual no response to this.
The lesson is ...
UPGRADERS BEWARE!!!

Hi
I have an i-mate with the following ROM in it:
Rom version 1.52.00wwe
Rom date 10/23/03
Radio version 1.10.00
Protocol version 1337.18
(wich is the official i-mate ROM)
I want to upgrade it to the latest version (1.60.36WWE). Upgrading with the 'standard' files, I get a Country ID Error. I know that I have to search the forum with 'country AND error' but I get a lot of results and actually none of them are for the 1.60.36WWE. Before crapping on my i-mate, I would like to konw what exactly I have to do to update it. I also want to know if there's any chances that I might regret my update (bugs, limitations...). Thanks a lot for the help from you gurs. I really appreciate it.
I think if you will read this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6694
I think it will answer your questions.
I am already reg. with I-mate as owner of one of it products, I got informations from them say that new room will be avilable soon it is ver. 1.66 for XDA II maybe next few days, and the windows Ver. is Windows 2003 SE
at all when I got the link to download it I will publish the link for everyone, Thank you for everyone published that great support using XDA II and XDA. it was great help to me to came very expert in solving problems to my XDA and XDAII
as my profile say then
i have
RUU 1.66.00WWE
RSU 1.10
on my qtek2020 it came with that
as far as i can tell it's not 2003 SE
specs
ROM version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM date> 02/20/04
Radio version 1.10.00
protocol version 1337.18
extOM version 1.66.140
I published what I already read in I-mate forum, I didn't have it yet ...... by the way all new edditions of XDAII coming with v. 1.66
so Rudegar
as it is getting really stressy to have the latest release... ;-)
do you have any ideas about the improvements with your
1.66.00 ROM over the 1.60.00
Alex
hmm, can you post a copy of your rom?
you can copy the rom with pmemdump from itsutils.
well it had that rom when i got it so i cant really compare it with 1.60 since i went from a xda1
i'll look into drumping the rom
but it does seem to have some auto settings and such for
some phone company
usually the phone company specific stuff is in the extended rom.
itsme:
usually the build number is just the ExtROM right? example, the latest tmobile rom i saw in the other thread had 1.60.36, but the os was simply 1.60.00, and the radio was 1.10.00, and the extrom was 1.60.36
does that mean that IF we extract whatever newest rom that comes out in the future and see that it has the same osrom ver and radio stack, merely upgrading the ExtROM is the best way to go?
I mean i know people prefer to only flash the ExtROM, but that's because they want to cook something up. But what if you just want to upgrade and not waste time with the OS if you see they still have the same number, does it HAVE to come hand in hand to upgrade? Or could you just bypass the others and upgrade the ExtROM and expect it to perform like a real update?
yes, that is what I usually do.
Forum user MikeyCollins has had his XDA2 reflashed by O2 with UK ROM version 1.66.
This is newer that any official user available O2 UK ROM, as the latest build on the UK site/for UK customers is 1.60.50
This new ROM, at very early inspection, features a ClearType tuner much like some IPAQ's have etc.
What he wants to know, and I do too, given that I would like to install it, is how do you 'reverse engineer', if at all, the ROM, so that he can copy it from his phone, to PC, so this can be tried out by others?
Can it be done? Do any of you clever chaps know how?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/XdaUtils/pmemdump.exe
this one i would suppose does it
but if the file you end up with on your pc is really nbf i'm not sure
maybe somebody else knows

Hi,
I have a T-Mobile NL MDA-II with what now seem to be fairly old ROMs. I am trying to judge whether I should upgrade or not, but can't seem to find any 'changelogs' or something of the kind. Is there something like this available? Or if not, perhaps someone could drop me a few lines saying what has improved (or gone worse) in newer versions of the ROMs (& radio stack etc).
Regards,
Ad
ROM 1.60.00WWE
Rom Date 12/03/03
Radio version 1.06.01
Protocol version 1337.16
ExtROM version 1.60.16
Hi Ad,
You seem to have the exact ROM as I do. Before I go for an ROM update I want to backup my current ROM. But this doesn't seem to work on my device with a bootloader 1.02
When I try to dump the ROM the PPC does dump the ROM to SD card but at the and it comes with an error message saying: Add SD card record info is fail!
Have you ever tried to dump your ROM to a SD card. If yes did you exprience the same problem.
PS I want to backup my ROM because I'm pretty satisfied with it. But want to try newer version too.
Regards,
Mark
New ROM
Mark,
I never tried backing up a ROM yet, so I'm afraid I can't help you out on that one.
I did however install the update that was available from the T-Mobile website so I am now running Radio version 1.10.00 and ExtROM version 1.60.36. The ROM itself is still 1.60.00WWE.
Please let me know if you find out what the cause of your problem is!
Thanks,

XDA II 1.72.187 download URL
Download it here...

Enjoy!
Hi,
Is this a UK ROM Version of the XDA II ?
Thanks

I had no idea but I guess it is as it comes from SourceO2...
It's the same link to download 1.72.181
http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/Xda_update.htm
You will find the link to download 1.72.181...
http://64.244.24.19/xda/Xda_II_172181_Final.exe
Do you pick only one of the two, off to read PDF's.
Here are the answers from the PDF's...
181 will disconnect any connection when phone rings, except the Blackberry, Mobile Web and WAP connections. If you need to use a permanent GPRS connection that will remain connected when phone is used, you should use 187 version.
Also, there are additional apps available for download as well (same page).
1. KSE Truefax
2. Fonix Voice Dial
3. ZIP Manager
This is the GERman update, AFAIK...
Could anybody provide the username and password for www.SourceO2.com website for downloading this updates, please? Thank you.
Country Error? I had prviously the XDA-Devel. 1.72 installed
Any ideas how to fix this butg? OUch, just upgraded last week to the xda-develpers 1.72, and now want this new o2 one, ouch!
Should be working normally...
What kind of bug do you mean?

You can register a username for free on the O2 site, and get a password mailed to you. You will then be able to download the files.
Ha, cool! Thanks. I thought is dependent on using O2 device (check on IMEI)...
Hm... I'm registred, but my credentials are not working...
You can follow the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=63862#63862 to get the upgrade working. mine is at 38% updated and I should be done in about an hour or so.
The extra applications file is attached to this post for simplicity...
Cheers

Check my post here. My guess is your previous upgrade set your operator in the device to a non-O2 value.

A release from O2Asia is expected. O2Asia usually follows about a week after O2UK, I think.
