I live in Australia, and am considering buying an o2 XDAII from Hong Kong.
I know that the XDA2 is the same thing as the I-mate, just difference in the o2 side of things and the "visual representation" of the OS.
Is there a way to change the o2 visual representation so it looks like the one on the I-mate/WM2003?
Guss you could try flashing it with an I-mate rom. (If O2 doesn't lock their devices) Mine is a Qtek2020 and I flashed it with the T-mobile, then back to the 1.60 Qtek rom. Maby you need to modify the header, but you'll find all info in the forum.
Just be careful, flashing your device could mess it up..
Good luck...
Has anyone been able to get the cingular ROM off the device and installed on a Qtek? Is anyone working on it?
I haven't heard of anyone trying this yet, but imagine they will in time. To be honest with you, I am using the IMAte Rom on my QTEk on the Cingular Network and have no desire to change it. Unless someone could show me there is a benefit in switching, I am happy were I am.
On a related note, the delay may have something to do with the size of the ROM. I have heard speculation that due to the 3125's 128MB memory size, versus the 64MB size of the QTEK, that the actual ROM itself may not fit. But again, that is only speculation, and others have stated that the extra memory has nothing to do with the ROM.

I installed it on my Qtek 8500, all is working fine.

What is the diference between 3125 and 3100 models?
Thanks.
RE: cingular 3125 ROM on Qtek 8500
For those that have done it,: above comments aside, I am curious as to the thoughts. Are you updating your Qtek from the Qtek ROM, or other.
I have yet to read anything that shows the differences between the IMate and Cingular ROMS and what, if any changes were made, other than custom features and proprietary logos.
Does the Cingular come with any apps that are more desireable than another?
may I ask how do you upgrade a QTEK isn't there some special upgrade utility. or is it just running the executable. and it does not matter what manufacturer device you have?
Cingular told me the machine would use blue towers better running its ROM. No idea if that is true.
Data setups work w/o manual entry, obviously not a big deal.
Some Cingular junk included.
Clearvue loaded in flash (same as i-Mate) - not with QTEK
A bit more free memory.
Other than that I see little difference between CIngular and the i-Mate ROM I was running. QREK ROM definately had problems with Cingular - missed lots of calls. This also occurs on my wife's Smartflip and she uses T-Mobile.
"Blue Towers" ?

About the QTEK ROM missing calls, is supposed to be a common issue. I had it too, but then I turned on the BT and left it on the problem with missing calls was gone.
Blue towers are the old AT&T towers...
Cingular ROM on QTEK 8500
I flashed the Cingular ROM on my QTEK 8500.
Very happy with it.
I have the (subjective) feeling, that it runs better than with the 8500 ROM
Cheers

The 3125 has the camera, the 3100 does not. Everything else is exactly the same.

Can you one just run the upgrade ?? no special upgrade utils ?? Can you go back to QTEK RM if the Cingular is not to my liking?

Of course the device has to be CID-unlocked, i.e. totally unlocked (cert, etc.)
After that, no problem switching between ROM's (I also tried Dopod and i-mate)
But found cingular best up to now

At the moment full Sim and CID unlocking can only be done online, no free ways yet, though I`m sure its being worked on.
Got my 8500 unlocked within 20mins of getting the unit, currently running the I-mate rom and am more than happy with it.

Now we some tools to cook our own roms !
Does Cingular 3125 ROM "Re-Lock" Qtek 8500?
I've unlocked my 8500 and installed i-Mate ROM - all seems to be working well (no missed calls). If I wanted to install the Cingular 3125 ROM, would it "re-lock" the device?
I have an Orange M3100 that is unlocked and I do not live in the UK. Does anyone know when Orange plans on releasing a ROM update?
Thanks
do you have an issue with your current rom?
Issues with live Orange M3100 ROM
No, i do not. As I am not in the UK, I run my TyTn without any ExtRom from Orange and it runs great. I had a Wizard before this and was running 2.26 which had a better radio ROM and Connection Manager. I would like to get both of those back on the Tytn.
As far as I know, there are planning to ship new roms in january 2007

M3100 problems
I have had 3 different M3100’s now and every one of them has crashed over and over again. Sometimes a soft reset works and sometimes I have to do a hard reset, but when I’m in the field all day and can’t resync my phone it causes me untold troubles. I’m ready to through the damn thing out the window. Can anyone help?

I have searched Internet and this forum but not find any information regarding unlocking and flashing a Swedish 3 branded TyTn.
Does someone have information about this?
Does it have the 1.09 bootloader or something that prevent unlocking/unbranding?

Most probably not, if you bought it a while ago... bootloader 1.09 is very new, but even if it has it, this doesn't mean you can't unlock/unbrand it
I must decide what to buy... 1.Unlocked,Unbranded & Expensive or
2.A 3 Branded Simlocked Less Expensive HTC TyTn.
So I want to know if somone has succeded to fix their swedish 3 branded TyTn.
The Swedish 3 branded TyTn was delayed and has been aviable to buy for the latest 2 weeks...
Do like I did, buy a Orange SPV M3100 from ebay.co.uk for like £250, which is less than 3500 kr. It looks a lot better too

Bootloader 1.06 on mine. It's new so I don't feel any need to unlock it. I'm waiting to see if 3 comes with a newer rom, since you can't watch streaming video or listen to streaming audio on the 3 portal with the current version. I have contacted customer service and am waiting for a reply.
Wuts up everyone happy new year to everybody
i got a question with hope that someone can give me some good news on it
i got a cingular 8525 a couple days ago but i got t mobile and i unlocked it wit the cid sim unlocker and upgraded the cingular software to the htc 1.9 new software and then i noticed that my screen was a lil messed up...
it changes color sometimes and blinks like half of the screen here and there
i mean its not too bad but very anoyin espesialy wit the new phone ive read somewhere that i can do a hard reboot and it might go away i wana try but i also wanted to know if the cid sim unlocker gets reset to and i wont be able to unlock it again if anyone knows anything about this please respond
Once it is unlocked it is unlocked forever, no matter what ROM you flash or how many times you hard reset.
