I have installed the T-mobile 1.72 Beta ROM update on my O2 XDA. Everything has installed just fine and it appears to be working great. The addition of the Fax module is really welcome although a little buggy has allowed me to send a number of faxes.
The BT stack now gives me an extra option on my Widcom BT software on my desktop pc. It seems much more stable than the O2 stack.
My only problem is that all my MMS, SMS, GPRS and WAP settings are for T-Mobile UK and not O2 Ireland. I have tried to enter them manually with little success.
After reading through some of the other threads would it be possible to take the relevant cab files from an O2 1.60 (latest ROM) Extended ROM and copy them onto my PDA and then run them to install the settings? I also miss the O2 Active screen and would like to install that as well. If this is possible could and please tell me that it is!!!! Would someone be kind enough to send me the relevant Cab files?
Many thanks in advance for any help or advice.

I think its posted on this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8515
On page 2. There is a modified extendend rom.
Thanks for the mail
I have downloaded the extended ROM that you mentioned but it seems to just contain the T-Mobile stuff. I would like a copy of the O2 Extended ROM if possible and just install the O2 settings and Active.
Thanks

If you have an old backup, you can replace that with the new one you have now. And then runt the desired CAB files (Camera, mms, andsoon) from the new 1.72 upgrade.
Here you go mate...
Attached is a ZIP file, containing a folder.
In it, are ALL the O2 files found in an O2 Extended ROM, as per 1.60.00 ROM Upgrade, O2 WWE.
I am not sure exactly which CAB is the settings file (can anyone tell me what the GPRS settings file CAB is called in an extended ROM), so you will have to find it yourself.
It also includes the O2 Active stuff.
Hope it helps.
Download it quick, becuase I'm not sure the legalities of posting it here, and also its a big file, so using up a lot of my space, so I wanna delete it soon.
Thanks
Thanks Shadamehr
I downloaded the ROM ran the Cabs and I now have O2 connection settings and O2 active. Thank you so much.
My next project is to copy the o2 files to the extended 1.72 ROM so that if I require a hard reset it will install the O2 stuff and the newer 1.72 files etc.
Out of interest the application for unhiding and unlocking the Extended ROM requires the sending of "arguments" how do you do this on Pocket PC. i am familiar with doing this on a desktop PC. Any help would again be appreciated.
Thanks to you all.

Er, you've totally lost me mate.
For the Unlocker, all I do, is copy the cab file for it over to my XDA2, then use File Manager on the XDA2 to locate the file, and click to run.
This installs it.
Then, if you go into programs, there is a new folder, next to games, for the extRom tools.
Open that, and you can hide/unhide, and lock/unlock the extended ROM.
It sometimes requires a soft reboot.
When it is unlcoked and unhidden, you can simply delete all files in it, and copy the whole O2 folder contents into it that I posted.
Then, after a hard reset, it will install all the programs in the extended rom.
Not sure what all these 'argument' things are you mention mate, sorry.
Sorted!!!
Did not see the programme group had been using the application via the file explorer and it was asking for "arguments". Thanks for the help.

Having searched the forum for a straight forward answer to my problem without success....
Can anyone give a step by step guide to changing my device to mda2 uk
at present
ROM version 1.66.00WWE
ExtROM version 1.60.50
the process has been stated more than once in this forum ... plz use the search option ... but in brief, you will have to extract the nk.nbf and ms_.nbf files from the upgrade exe file (using winrar) ... then use the ER2003edit.exe tool to change the country ID to make it tmobile ... then pack the file again and run it while yoru device is connected and synced.
convert to t-mob
I just downloaded file from this site and ran it - everything worked fine (even actually using it with Orange SIM!)
I would like to add the fonix voicedial application to my XDA2. I noted on the "my-xda.com" website that this application is supposed to be on the companion CD that comes with a XDA2.
Not mine!, purchased just 2 weeks ago.
My CD version is V1.0 sept 2003
Can anybody tell me if there is a later release that has it on please.
Can't see anywhere on the O2 websites where to download it.
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Regards
Chris

Thanks I updated rom and installed the applications, works a treat.
Just got to re-install tomtom.
Thanks again
Chris
Two questions :
- Is it free ?
- Does it work on Qtec and T-Mobile MDA too ? (the app_suite_.exe i mean )
Yes its free,
I would assume it would work providing you are running the updated Rom.
I had to update to 1.72.00 WWE, before I could install the appsuite.
Good luck
Chris
That's weird, I'm running on 1.72.00WWE and it does not let me install...
Any ideas?
Rayan, did you try installing to a bare configuration, ie before restore?
It is not the OS version that counts (although it probably would have to be 1.72.00WWE) , but the extrom version (1.72.181 / 1.72.187). but i don't know which registry entries are important for this validation.
Doing a restore after upgrade does overwrite the registry (like cruisin implied).
Can anyone post the individual cabs inside this application suite?
I can have a look to make it more "ExtROM version independent"
(ie that it will also work with my 1.72.902 ROM)
I tried to create the myself from the appsuite.
Fonix cab seems to be faulty. Any experience with this?
Couldn't it be possible to just install the Fonix Voicedial on just any rom available?
That shouldn't be a problem is it?

I am not able to install any of this software.... Please Edsub maybe you can do something...
I am more than happy to sort this out, BUT: I need to get hold of a correct Fonix cab file. The one in the posted app. suite is faulty and cannot be used.
ah, logging on helps.
Thanks superperry.
i will have a look at the cabs.
bollocks!
The Fonix cab you posted is faulty too.
The cab identifies as a ZIP cabinet, instead of a WinCE Cabinet.
Also WinCE Cab manager is not able to open it, just crashes. Same as with my copy of the Fonix cab.
The other two cabs are fine.
Just by looking at the TrueFax cab I bet the version checking is doen via a new setup.dll. This should be do-able. Plz have a little patience as I do have a real job to do too . . .

:twisted: I guess they gave us faulty file, huh! :!:
Don't worry edsub, we can wait. :wink:
This is the file downloaded directly from O2.
Thanks dcs, the file you posted is exactly the same as the one I extracted the cabs from . . .
Did ANYONE try to get the Fonix Voicedial to run on their Himalaya??
What happened?
Did the install on the Himalaya run?
Did the app itself run?
Any error messages?
This Fonix cab is something different from all the other cabs I know of.
BTW: dcs, did you get Fonix installed (you seem to have a new 1.72.187 rom version on O2)??

Yes I did. It runs, but haven't done much with it yet.
mmm, I guess we have to conclude that O2 (or Fonix) have found themselves a new method of installing software on the Himalaya . . .
@dcs: Do you remember whether the install ran as silent as other (normal) installs on the Himalaya? Did you see the zip-manager get used for installing (I ask this because the Fonix cab shows up like a zip-type of cab, instead of like a WinCE cab)
Does anyone know if migrating the Cingular Ext.Rom from 8125 to TyTN will work?
Most probably it will, but you will lose cingular customizations.
If you don't like it, you can always go back to cingular.
Pof,
Thanks for your answer but you might have misunderstood, I wasnt looking at leaving Cingular, just transfering my existing Cingular extRom to my new TyTN so I can keep use their customization on my new phone.
Thanks
AJH
Oh sorry, I didn't read abut the 8125... which HTC device is it? if it's a wm5 you can just get the cingular settings CAB from the extROM and run it on your TyTN.
I got my vodafone spain settings from a cab in Universal ExtROM without problems
im also trying to do this. could someone point me to where the cingular ext rom is and how i would go about applying it to the tytn>
Thanks pof,
Its an HTC TyTN. I just got it in the mail at home and want to be sure I understand as much as possible when I move my programs and customizations over from my 8125.
Blues,
I havent done it either, I was going to use the instructions from the wiki (hytn and 8125) on removing and installing the ext.rom.
I will let you know, probably tomorrow since I have to charge the device first.
Thanks
AJH
ok, cingular 8125 == htc Wizard. Right?
You can extract the cingular customizations from the ExtRom:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Extended_Roms/cingular-ExtROM.zip
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Extended_Roms/Cingular_8125_108-ExtRom.rar
Since it is a WM5, there should be no problem on installing the needed CABs on the TyTN, you just have to know which ones have the operator settings, do not install the rest of the cabs found on the ExtROM.
Hope that helps
pof you the man.
Thanks a lot.
AJH
Guys...let me know if you get this to work. I wasn't able to get the E icon for edge to work after copying the Cingular Edge .cab files over. It continues to show G for GPRS.

From the Hermes Frequently Asked Questions:
"The reg tweak working for the previous models to show the [E] instead of [G] when you are on the EDGE network is not working on the Hermes "

I'm assuming you're looking for either the carrier settings cabs or the ext_rom cabs to restore O2 customisations...
For carrier settings, try the carrier settings page in the wiki (there are quite a few there - and a link to the HTC carrier setup for O2/Voda/T-Mob/Orange UK).
For full sets of the ext_rom cabs try having a look at the FTP site - someone may have uploaded an O2 Ext_rom.
Hope that helps
attached file for o2 contract settings.
If you want to use pay and go you have to install the file, then manually change the settings. Heres a list of what changes:
