andun sa isang thread ko kung paano ako nag update, yung by edit the ms_.nbf using hex editor, para wala kang error tungkol sa Country ID, and there is another suggestion using xda2nbftool, to change also the country ID try to check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4785&highlight= hope this will help you.

download the installer of waxx
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10866
then run it.... i used a windows xp o/s with active sync closed
took around 30min.

Be aware that the nbf files in that upgrade are set to operator ID CDL in the extra part of the ms_.nbf file (see my post for details about the extra part). So if you run this without modification, your device will be set to operator ID CDL and will only accept future upgrades with CDL specified as the operator in the nbf headers.

Thanks, but i do not know how to use tha hexeditor. I fear that i might mess up my xda2.
um RPC, hindi ba delikado? will it work for globe telecom.
Few probs:
(1) I tried DCS's steps but i only got as far as the 7th step because, when i extracted the devicedata, I didnt know the operator and language values i needed to enter on step 8 (do i use CDL first then re-upgrade using O2? Also in your NOTE, there was a portion for inputting O2 in the extra block of data (where is this?)
(2) I dont know how to use the xda2nbftool to edit the values on step 9
Im a total newbie on this. If this were a desktop PC, it would be safer and easier for me.
Sorry for all the trouble. Hope you guys can help me.
thanks

Question lang. Hindi naman nang-aasar.
I bought kasi my XDAII last Nov 2003 and my wife got one for herself just this week.
I patched my unit (last March 2004) with the one suggested by http://www.myxda.com and I found out that my wife's unit doesn't require the same patch. Further investigation shows that my ROM version is lower (1.60.00WWE compared to my wife's 1.66.00.WWE).
So my question is, do I need to patch my unit to 1.72? What are the benefits in upgrading to 1.72? Why do you want to upgrade to 1.72?

thanks mr dcs.... would you recommend that i re-flash my device tonight..... i'd put in a new radio rom.... it seems 1.14 does not work well... or maybe its just coincidence
i'd like to put in a 1.17 radio rom.

Mga tol.. wouldn't it be better to wait for the official update from O2 (Asia ROM 1.72)?? wala lang, suggestion ko lang.. although is tempting to upgrade to 1.72 but I don't want to mess with my XDA2 for now...
hehehe.. happy na ako muna sa kanya.. whahehehehe... :lol:

Release in October 2004, is it right ????

I am sorry you felt you couldn't do this. But I will try to help.
This is the contents of the DeviceData.txt I generated using HimaGetDeviceData on my own XDA II
Code:
U S B 3 2 1 . 7 2 . 0 0 W W E P H 1 0 O 2 W W E 1 . 7 2 . 1 2 6 1 . 1 7 . 0 0
"USB 32 1.72.00WWE " is the OS Version
"PH10" is the Device Type
"O2" is the Operator ID
"WWE" is the Language ID
"1.72.126" is the Extended ROM Version
"1.17.00" is the Radio Version
Obviously the actual content will depend on your device, but the layout of the information will be the same.
Once you are able to identify the operator ID and language ID from your own DeviceData then you should be able to follow the steps in my post here.
As regards the hex editor, I have updated the instructions for that in my post to hopefully make it simpler. It is the hex editor that is used to view and change, if necessary, the contents of the 'extra data'.
I hope this helps you a little

Obviously, upgrading your XDA II is something you must decide for yourself I have read in a few places on this forum that it is thought the 1.14 radio is poor, but didn't have it on my device long enough to comment on

---

Its poor Mr. dcs =( thats why i asked your recommendations =I ... i'll do the upgrade 2nignt ....are You sure about the operator cdl? i cant seem to make the getdevicedata.exe to work well.... it Just shows 1.72 =l do you have a copy of 1.17 radio rom? can i copy from you?

---

Hello mga pogi.
I upgraded to WAXX's 1.72. Everything's A-OK!
Bluetooth performance is much improved! The XDA2 now transfers calls almost instantaneously to my HBH65.

---

Mr mann2,
Ginawa mo pa ba yung detailed step ni dcs?

---

how is your signal strenght mann2 ? it seems its weaker compared to 1.O8 radio version

---

hi Z-Man!
Oks naman yung signal. Actually it's a lot better than the i.08 IMO.
Im backing up my rom as we speak... and im gonna attempt a 1.17 Radio upgrade in a couple of minutes...
WISH ME LUCK!!! Mabuhay!

---

mann2,
Yung steps ba ni rcs ginawa mo, or wala ka na edit sa mga files? Baka kasi ma country code error din ako, di pa naman ako marunong gumamit ng mga hex editor.
Pa advise naman chief ng steps mo.
salamat

DCS,
Thanks for the clarification. I will try that out. Unit is under warranty but still would be a hassle if i mess up.
Thanks again

Boss Bastos,

Sige mga fafa. Offline muna ako. Im going in!!!!
Balitaan ko kayo bukas!
