ive got an o2 xda2 , not sure what version rom it has on it, but i want to upgrade it to the latest orange version as i use it on orange and would like all the orange settings and stuff. also will it fix the bluetooth problems?
could someone please give me a guide as to where i can download all the sotware i need and exactly what to do please?
or could someone be kind enough to add me to msn and help me through it?
my msn is [email protected]
Thanks
I have the same problem. I also wanna go to 1.72
Orange helpdesk says there is no date set yet for them to have it
They are spending their time on star wars :evil:
where can i download roms fron the orange site? ive heard that you can but i cant find any
No problem young's...it's very easy to do that.
@ NeCrOpHiLiCaT
If you need more help, I have added your MSN address in my one!
I have only orange CH settings, so the best to do is:
Load the old ROM (original one, maybe 1.66), install Extendet_ROM tools you can find on XDA site, export from the phone Extendet ROM those *.cab whos name are ORANGE on your PC Harddisk.
Install the new ROM (maybe 1.72), repeat the step whit extendet ROM and put in the Extendet ROM of the phone those ORANGE *.cab you extracted in the Harddisk, after that you can just go in the Extendet ROM of the phone and Tap on those cab file, otherwise, in the Extedet_ROM of the phone is a file "config.txt", edit this one, add line whit cab name. So, if you make a Hardreset of your phone it will install also Orange settings.
This last one woulb be the better way if one time you make a hardreset.
I hope this is clear Enought, because my english isn't the best!
Cheers

Earlier, I installed unofficial T-Mobile 1.6 rom on my i-mate. I just recenlty tried installing the official i-mate update and there is a country code. I don't have the old rom to revert to. Can anyone help. I know I would have to at the least get a copy of the old rom and then install it into the i-mate. Again, since I don't have a backup of the old one, I would need info on how to get one first.
The T-Mobile unofficial one works fine. I just wanted to go back to always on gprs etc. that the i-mate update has. If not, I guess I will have to wait until the rom kitchen is up and running for this unit. :lol:

I think you better try it using bootloader way, because t-mobile protect it's update, it happen in XDAI if you update your XDA to 4.16 and you want to go back to 4.11 then you have to update it using bootloader to be able to go back from the previous one 4.11 8) hope this help you...opps correction please there is no bootloader on XDA II, there is bootloader but in different way, I think if you copy your old nbf to sd using xdatools and go to bootloader by using power+anydirection+ reset it will ask to download the nbf to you device... hmmm if this doesn't work you have to look for another way.
T-Mobile 1.60 BUGGY Rom - Want to go back to iMate ROM
Folks,
I'm in the same position - Can someone please outline the success they've had going back from the T-Mobile 1.60 ROM to Imate ROM 1.5283??
Any thoughts would be great... (I'm guessing the boot loader using an SD card may work but would love to hear of any new tricks that people have learned on this
Cheers
Andy
I'll try to help.
Where can the ROM be downloaded, so I can have a look at it.

T-Mobile Back to iMate ROM
Thanks
I've uploaded the new iMate ROM image to:
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/ruu15283.zip
The somewhat flakey T-Mobile 1.6.006 ROM (which I'm trying to get away from is at
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/TMobile160.zip
Of course, with the different operator / country codes, it's not just a matter of running the .EXE - It'll need to involve the boot loader of a little hex editing of the header, I'm guessing (just guessing?!)
The new iMate ROM is meant to be the best bet around at the moment and my device is an iMate in the first place. The only reason why I installed the T-Mobile one was to get the Bluetooth GPS fix (which works well) - BUT so many other things aren't as stable!!
The new iMate ROM is meant to have the BT GPS fix as well.
Any help, much appreciated!
Cheers
Andy

That's correct, you need to mod it.
I'll make a procedure for it.
Jos
THANKS!
You're a champion!
Thanks very much..
It sounds like there's a few people that'll thank you!
The other posts on the subject aren't too clear at this point - So it'll be great to clear up the issue for the iMate / XDA II.
All the best - Have a great weekend.

OK, made some time to create a batch file to upgrade.
Works only for upgrade from T-Mobile 1.60.06 NL to I-mate 1.53.82.
1. Download the ROM image ruu15283.zip from the site in this posting
2. Unzip the file with Winzip
3. You now get a file called ruu15283wwwe_cdl.exe
3. Extract this file with Winzip to a new folder
4. Extract the attached file to the same folder
5. Start the conversion and upgrade by double-clicking convert.bat
Since I'm out till Sunday, I can't check my mail to respond to problems.
Enjoy!
Can the first person brave enough to try this please confirm success.
IT WORKS!!
Jes - You're a scholar and a gentleman!!
And a *(&(&( good programmer
IT WORKED!
Thanks a million!
Let me know how to send you virtual beers or whatever
(or if you need a hand with anything - Please let me know!)
Cheers
Andy
Nah, I'm not a good programmer, I just know how to write bachfiles and how to combine things to get the disered result.
Thanks has to go to Isme. He knows a lot about the internal working of the XDA II, the ROMS and the bootloader process.
He wrote the great tool used to change the file headers, so you can update your machine with a ROM of a different brand.
He's a good programmer!
If somebody needs a mod to upgrade from another ROM version, please let me know.
And if you want to do something back, please donate to the people who keep this nice forum up and running.
It worked. For those who want to get back onto the official path from unofficial t-mobile this is an automated way to do it. Thanks...Jon
Backing Up XDA2 ROM+CE
I'm a new XDA2 iMate user, want to back up my ROM+CE before I screw things up. I did this on my XDA1 (power + software reset, then press contact button I think). Anyway, I always had my ROM+CE backed up to a 64M SD card ... just in case.
I've searched these forums for such a procedure for XDA2 ... no luck.
What is the process, if any, to backup the XDA2's ROM+CE image to SD card?
Appreciate any help,
Craig
I think it's possible with the xda2dmp tool, but you better ask Itsme, he wrote it.
You can find it on this site: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/xda-ii.html

Jos
Hi Jos ,
I tried it and it WORKS!!!!!!!!!! You are a brilliant guy !!!
I owe you one!!
My friend wants to install the T-Mobile Update because the windows CE version on the T-mobile ROM is newer than that of the imate. Any magic patches that can be done.
Note -> Please tell me of how can I be of any help to you in return for your support
All the best

Difference between i-mate 1.52.00WWE ROM and i-mate 1.53.82
Can anybody outline the differences between the 1.52.00 and the 1.53.82 official i-mate ROMs?
I'm trying to ascertain whether I have sufficient incentive to upgrade (given the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality I subscribe to in my old age!).
Sufficient incentive might be;
:arrow: Faster GPRS
:arrow: Improved battery life
:arrow: Improved all-round performance.
Thanks guys.

Just upgraded to i-mate from much-loved XDA!
Can anyone tell me where I can get the original XDA 2 English ROM please - I have installed the German one by mistake!!!
Robinhood, what do you mean you installed the german rom by mistake, what exactly have you done.
I have the English O2 XDA 2 and flashed the rom with the German one posted on this site (don't laugh). All the install stuff was in English and I though I could change the language afterwards. Obviously, I was wrong, I now need to flas back to the original O2 ROM but dont know how I am going to find it.
Thanks for your help
HI
You obtained the Rom, I am have the seme problem.
Best.
dias
have you also change the extended rom? if change you must download the UK extended rom and the original rom 1.03 USA. you can get the download from the xda-developerss.
I know I sound stupid but.........
1, Where exactly are the ROMS I need?
2. Can you give me a step by step guide through the process please - I am sure not just me has made this mistake
Thanks for your help so far
you download from http://xda-developers.com/incoming, download the 1.6 wwe version at the end there, then extract the file to another folder then delete the nb.nbf file, because this is german extended rom, replace the nb.nbf with the uk, go to download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=4837 , after install it, remember don't install the file you download, install from the folder you extract.
or you can download direct the Asia O2 rom but the extended rom is Asia. this is must more simple. just follow the instruction and it will help you to install it. download from:http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=6226
if you still have any problem.et me know.
THANK YOU :lol:
Thanks for the help mate. The last ROM in the incoming Folder is a T-Mobile ROM (39mb) - is that right for the O2 network??? Why is it 39mb?? Should I upload the one above that says ROM 11mb??
Thanks again
you will come :lol:
Hey guys,
I just got my XDA II and I would like to try the Orange m1000 rom.
Is there anybody that does have an UK version of the Orange m1000 rom?
Thanks
Panja
The ROM i refer to in my previous post on the Danish Orange ROM is entirely in English - except for a GPRS default setting pointing to a Danish gateway. You can easily change that.
It can be downloaded freely from Orange in Denmark.

Alas NOPE!
It can't ('out of the box/from the download') be used to update an O2 XDA2 though, because it fails the country check instantly.
As I just tried exactly these things when you posted earlier this morning mate (UK time).
I tried to run the M1000 Denmark (english language) ROM update, on my UK O2 XDA2 today.
It fails straightaway - "Invalid Country".
Not sure if you can hack it or something to allow this, but it's certainly not something I would know how to do, or feel confident trying.
have you tried chancing your country in the local settings before the upgrade ?
you could always change it back
Thanks for the replies guys!!
So what do I need to do to upgrade to the m1000 rom?
Cheers
Panja
if you can get around the country thing then you need
a cradle and the upgrade exe file
Rudegar,
No mate - the country code issue has nothing to do with user set values/user defined regional settings.
It is something hardcoded into the device ROM to identify its country.
It can't be user changed.
It is a hardware check made when starting a ROM Upgrade.
Pity though.
what if you change the exe file to zip and take out the nbf file ?
and install it bootloaderwise ?
would it not work then ?
Er, run that by me in Swahili, as English just lost me...
Nah, seriously mate, I have a basic idea of what that means, but can you be more gentle with me and give me more details?
well if the exe file is an install file
then it's really a selfunpacking zip file
and if you change it from
WHATEVERNAME.exe to WHATEVERNAME.zip
you can unzip the nbf file from inside the zip
and you can use the xdatools to flash the nbf file to a sd card
and upgrade your device from the bootloader
at least thats how you do it on the xda1
Hi everybody,
Some of us were expecting this for a long time, here it is:
http://www.mobilite.fr.orange-business.com/public/oev4/html/fr/pme/espace/vmobile/dl.php
Well, it disappeared now, but I succeed loading it before...
If it doesn't come back within a few days, can someone tell me how to put it somewhere in the wiki?
It's a 2.11.73.1 rom...
The link to download has been removed from the page, but you can still do it with this link:
http://www.mobilite.fr.orange-business.com/public/oev4/html/toolkit/php/obdddl.php?id=2504
Tell me about... and be fast!

I Wish Orange UK Would Bring Out An Update.

Impossible to update.
My M3100 is Super CID and the Orange update utility tells me that it can't communicate with the phone and to check the cable ( my phone is in Bootloader mode).
Any solution ?
Extract the NBH and upgrade using the latest CustomRUU.
How am I supposed to do that ?
Sorry, but I'm a beginner in upgrading ;-)
1. Open The .exe With Winrar.
2. Extract The .nbh File To A Folder On Your Computer.
3. Download The Latest CustomRUU And Place It In The Same Folder As Your .nbh File.
4. Run The CustomRUU.
5. Follow The Steps To Upgrade Your Phone
Cheers
Thanks a lot !
It's working now.
Edge icon is now available with this new ROM !
Radio Rom version?
Can someone who's installed this Rom confirm the radio rom version. The Wiki says 1.38.00.01, which I'm guessing may be a typo and should perhaps be 1.38.00.10. Having been messing around with all of the available radio roms and seeing all of the different comments from people about the same roms, it seems likely that different radios work best on different networks, so I'm curious about which one Orange France has chosen to ship - I want to check out how it works in the UK on Orange.

These 2 posts should help you.
This post gives links to needed tools and a "how to" http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2770938&postcount=1
This post has a link to the HTC Dutch ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2763806&postcount=1
Worked for me, if you search you can also find a link to a T-Mobile Dutch ROM in case you need to revert back for warranty purposes.
Hope this helps.

A little tip.
When you have flashed the new ROM the keyboard WnW (web n walk) key will open Internet Explorer.
If you want to use the BrandedBrowser (with the "wilt u online gaan" message) you need to go to the PPC windows directory and copy these files to your PC before flashing:
BrandedBrowser.exe
web'n'walk short cut
wnw short cut
wnw icon
When you have flashed the new Rom copy the files back to your PPC. ADDITIONALLY you will need a registry editor to create 2 new keys:
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\HTC\PIEPlug]
"WebStub"=dword:00000000
"home"=http://pda.t-mobile.nl"
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\PIEBrowser]
"Path"="\Windows\BrandedBrowser.exe"
Hope this helps.
Regards,
khan3.
Feeling generous, heres the reg files you need.
Better still, here's a cab file with the files and registry entries.
