My rom is 1.66.00WWE Radio 1.10.00.
I think its about time for an upgrade. People speak highly of the Mysteryman update, so will give it a go. Does anyone if OziExplorer CE 1.11.1 will still work with the upgrade.
If it does not, asuming I have backed up my phone, is it a simple matter to reload the original OS?
Thanks

Hi all!
Well, I have a problem. I am new to upgrading my XDA II, and I blindly jumped into updating my ROM without fully understanding what I was getting myself into. Shame on me, I know. I didn't back up my original ROM, and now I want to go back to the original ROM. Here is what I currently have:
ROM version: 1.52.00WWE
ROM date: 10/23/03
Radio version: 1.06.01
Protocol version: 1337.16
ExtROM version: 1.52.83
I want to go back to the original ROM because I don't have time to reinstall and reconfigure all of my software, but I do have an xBackup on my SD card from before my upgrade. I want to downgrade to the 1.03 USA ROM and then restore from this backup.
I would really appreciate any help anybody can give me. I've been searching for a total of like 10 hours and I can't figure this out. Thanks in advance, everyone; I appreciate your time.
PS> This is the version I want to go back to:
ROM: 1.03.00 USA
ROM DATE:09/24/03
RADIO:1.05.14
PROTOCOL:1337.14
:lol:
Well, if anyone figures this out, please let me know; in the mean time, I've decided to just reinstall all of my software.
If you want downgrade to USA 1.03 then you need to have the 1.03 rom on SD CArd the bootloaded your XDA then only can downgrade, but not sure it work, if you need the 1.03 rom I can send it to you. You must remember you upgrade then go downgrade is difficle.
Thanks anyway, but I've got my XDA II back to where I want it.

From the above you mention you have the original ROM, (1.03) but do you have the Radio and Ext_ROM roms? I'm trying to fully revert back from:
R: 1.52.00WWE
G: 1337.16
D: 1.06.01
Ext: 1.52.83
Back to...
R: 1.05.12
G: 1337.12
D: 1.03.00 USA
Thanks,
Could anyone post all of the original USA 1.03 ROM, radio, etc. components for O2 on this thread ?
Thanks

Thank you in advance.
Why a downgrade?
I wanted to upgrade my software.
Can you tell me why are you going to downgrade it?
Did you have any problems?
Thanks for the answer,
Uros
Hi Urosh,
Just wanted to confirm the following problem that happens sometime since upgrade:
1. Radio signal delay time longer.
2. GPRS connecting also take loger time.
3. Sometime not alarm, though soft reset before turn off.
4. Sometime phone not ringing.
Hope that anyone can help me to confirm this problem.
Thank you,
[Urosh] If you are asking me why I want to downgrade, it is because I am experiencing problems with phone signal and battery life. The whole, long story is here...

If you read it you’ll see others seem to be running fine... It’s up to you, but the upgrade doesn't really seem to 'fix' anything... so its kinda like "if it ain't broke, don't fix it!"
Alternately, if you still really want to upgrade you should make sure you get ALL the ROM backed up first, so that you can return.
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.
Hi,
I am a Filipino and I have an XDA II with
ROM version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.08.00
Protocol version: 1337.18
ExtROM version: 1.66.165
Can I upgrade my ROM to version 1.72?
What file shall I use?
How do I upgrade?
Will upgrading affect my settings with the service provider, GLOBE
TELECOMS?
Shall I wait for O2 to release their updated ROM for Asia?
Please help me. I always get an unexpected hard reset(my fon won't turn on). What is the best option?
THANX!
yes you can... its up to you if you want to wait for the official O2 release, or if the hard reset keeps on bugging you, you can upgrade it using the official IMATE release... but you should save the provider settings and all.. or either that, or call up your operator for the GPRS settings.
just follow this thread...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10866
Thanx Waxx! I'll try it tom. I hope it will solve the hard reset bug that I've been reading and experiencing. I've noticed that most of us who get unexpected hard resets have ROM ver 1.66WWE. O2 is really unfair for being silent on this topic.
One last question, what will the O2.cab do? Just restore the O2 startup screen? Will the new ROM 1.72 have "autoconfig" program? Can I use autoconfig to setup GPRS and Internet?
Thanx again!
im not familiar with congfiguration... because mine didnt have the auto configuration.. im thinking that youre referring to auto configuration for the asian ROMs for the settings?? if that is so, then im afraid that upon upgrading, you wont have the autoconfiguration option. this is because you are upgrading your ROM with an imate 1.72 (another provider) and it is based on UK.. so i guess no asian autoconfig. if ever there would be an autoconfig button, im sure it would be of the european providers. but i really dont see an autoconfig button.
as always exercise extreme caution when upgrading...when you put in the 1.72 rom downgrading will be difficult...beware :shock: :shock: beware :shock: you might end up having more than you bargained for. :wink:
regarding the hard resets; you may want to perform another hard reset but don't install any programs / apps. run the unit as it is; "naked" and without any new stuff installed. if the phone still hangs then go for the upgrade. if not; well as the thread says it's your choice :wink:
cheers
After having successfully upraded my Imate to the newer WM2003SE ROM (2.06WWE), I want to know if it is possible to revert back to the "official" ROM.
Can i just run the HimaUpdate... file for the older ROM and it will work or do I have to do something else?
Has anyone done it? With/Without success?
as far as I know, YES
if you'll run into any troubles, just let me know.
buzz
Absolutely YES!!!... mine was reverted from 2.20 to 2.02 to 2.20 to 2.06 to 1.77 to 2.02 to 1.77 to 2.20 to 2.06.. YES i am experimenting something from that all updates still i have no exoerience having problem... Just run Himaupgr...exe.. thats all
Mind you, since my device is an imate, i ran the "modified" version of the XDA II rom (modified for the carrier, country code and language). And I dont remember where I read it. but I think someone somewhere said that its not as simple as just running the HimaUpdate file.
But the HimaUpdate I will be running to revert back to the official Imate ROM (1.72) is made by Imate so I would think the country, carrier and language settings in that one are already correct.
So you sure I can just run it?
BTW, Reason I am reverting is because I think my signal reception is degraded (from before the upgrade even) and it seems to be a hardware issue. So to get it fixed by them (its under warrenty) I need to have the official rom or the warrenty is void.
Ok boys, I'm gonna do it. (after one more confirmation from you) just a little scared I am you see.....
Hello, I have a softbank HTC X01HT with WM6 CE OS 5.2.968 (Build 17217.0.0.0)
Is it recommended to upgrade to the latest version or am I ok with that? One thing I don't have is WAP2
When You upgrade, is it a new install? or really an upgrade? (you have to reinstall custom software?)
Thank you!
EDIT:
ROM: 3.23.0.0
RadioVersion 1.34.00.10
Protocol Version: 32.67.7020.10H
If you are happy with what you have stay with it.
It is a reinstall, not an upgrde. You will need to reinstall apps and settings.
If the new version will give you a feature you want (or if you are obsessed with having the latest) then upgrade.
thanks
Well, the only feature I feel I need is WPA2 so I don't have to change my home network to WPA. Can I upgrade that (what?) with out a reinstall?
thanks again for you answer
