I just flashed my MDA II to the new imate 1.72 Flash (had the tMob beta before). It took me a few trys but finally got it switched to the new imate 1.72 official release.
My question for all the guru's is this... I have been reading that some of the ext rom files from the tmob beta are better to use instead of the imate ext rom.
I have heard this about the camera cab(s) and also the midi cab.
I was hoping to get some feedback in this thread as to what they have found to be the best version to use and why. Also if they found any bugs.
I am trying to make up a new ext rom file that will contain all of the best versions from the latest release(s).
I will be adding the GPRS Monitor that was removed and if I can get some input on which files should be removed and which should be left in.
I know some of the customization files are carrier specific and will leave those out if they can be left out.
Any help in putting together this list of ext rom files will be great!
Thanks
By the way, what do you, people, use as ROMs? In my T-mobile MDA I have XDA-DEVELOPERS special edition ROM 1.2 - powerful and really useful thing. Does anybody know when the WM2k3-based one is coming?
Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14132)
O2 Xda IIs Asian Extended ROM plus Xda IIx Extended Extended ROM
First off I'd like to say that some of you are pathetic to the core. Having said that I also like to add that I believe I can throw any amount of insults and yet the same people will still download in spite of. This brings us back to my first point.
I've posted the M.O. on extracting the Extended ROM from the Xda IIs but no one bothered to even try. Sad is that Xda IIs has been sold out of stock twice or more and yet zero Asian O2 Xda IIs owners came forward.
It doesn't matter anyway. End of story.
RE
Hi Dr. Stein!
Thank you for your postings.
I don't own an IIs so I really look forward to such postings to have an enhanced experience.
Thank you again.
RE
Hi Dr. Stein!
One question.
Whats the difference between the 2 EXT ROMs? Care to elaborate whats added/removed?
Thanks
:roll:
RE
Ooooops! Sorry!
The 1st file is not the EXT ROM.
Umm, first of all I'd like to thank you for providing your ROMs to us. In my case, it's not like I'm not putting an effort in looking for an Asian XDAIIs Extended ROM. But the people that I know, none of them owns an XDAIIs. So I guess you should try to understand that not all people are as fortunate as you are to have a friend that owns an XDAIIs and allows you to copy files off it ... Try not to be bitter and just remember that we are just trying to help each other out here ... Thanks again, doc.
Thanks Dr. Stein! I hope my mongrel 2003SE will now begin to look like an 02 after im done customizing.
Apology
I sincerely apologize for my outburst. It was wrong for me to take on this forum as my wrath does not belong here.
And now for the business proper.
The first zip file contains the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14132) and Radio 1.18.00 and not Xda IIs ROM and Radio as this has not yet been exploited.
The second is the O2 Xda IIs Asian Extended ROM plus Xda IIx Extended Extended ROM which has two folders carrying CABs to be extracted to the folders named.
Dr.Stein
Trying to irritate you again Is it only for XDAIIs or for XDAII also
First file is it similar to dcs or mystery man's version. I mean is
OS ROM :2.06
or
OS ROM : 2.02t1
or
totally different?
. I am asking this as I am on dialup connection and it takes hours to download 17MB here
RE
Hi Dr. Stein!
Just to confirm.
In order to perform the upgrade I'll have to dump all the EXT ROM files (from the 2 folders) into the same folder as the Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition Version 4.21.1088 (Build 14132) and Radio 1.18.00 and then run HimaUpgradeUT, right?
2nd question - If I only need S'pore and Malaysia telcos I'll have to edit the AutoConfig file by deleting all other unwanted telcos and re-save it again, correct?
:roll:
You need not to reflash ur device. I have my extended ROM unlocked so I just deleted everything from extended rom and filled it with the one dr. has provided. Did a hard reset and everything came alive. I've to say this extended rom is great except camera doesn't seem to work. I recon if i remove Camera_Patch_10080401.sa.CAB from config. txt, things should be fine with camera as well.
Don't forget to remove TPDISABLE.EXE from config.txt otherwise u won't be able to interact with SE warning msg. Enjoy!

Negative.
Extract the contents of Extended ROM and Storage folders to the respective named folders existing in your Xda II.
Now run the HimaUpgradeUT.exe from the WM2003SE Xda IIx folder.

Provided the Xda II has already been flashed with WM2003SE ROM and Radio ROM of your choice.
The camera patch is needed for SE customization. Your camera didn't work probably because you did not install the CABs from the Storage folder I have included as an Extended Extended ROM. If you go through the Config.txt you will know what I am talking about.
RE
Hi rehman!
I've the EXT ROM 'unlockextrom' file on my O2. Upon tapping it amessgae prompts out which says
debug
Usage: unlockextrom [-lock | -unlock] [-hide | -unhide]
How to unlock the EXT ROM?
Another question is if I only need S'pore and Malaysia telcos I'll have to edit the AutoConfig file by deleting all other unwanted telcos entries and re-save it again, correct?
Thanks

Works fine on mine.

Yes. Just remove the unwanted CABs from the Extended ROM folder and edit the AutoConfig.txt accordingly.
RE
Hi Dr Stein!
I'm getting somewhere now. Thanks for your guidance as I'm able to see my EXT ROM files now on my O2.
BTW, I could not get the screen of the debug you posted although I could get it from the Settings -> Menus
How to do it?
Thanks again

I don't really get you. You could get the debugscreen from Settings -> Menus - where?
Yes Dr. I did copy files in storage folder as well. All those cabs were also installed during extended rom setup as they're mentioed in config.txt file. My problem is that camera applicatin opens but viewfinder doesn't seem to work. Camea version is 2.21 (Build 17576).
Strange
Why does mine show Version 2.50 (Build 15954)?
Are you certain you installed the 2 Camera CABs from the Storage folder?
I'm sure because all other storage apps like extended rom unlocker, view, intellidial and intellipad are installed. I wonder what went wrong with the camera
I tried different cooked ROM here for SE. I am just curios... is Active User Interface available in Second Edition?
I haven't seen that in any tested ROM...! or my configuration is wrong?
asslam 3alayikm...
if u meant the active user from O2 Xda II and its compatibility with WM2003SE u may try extended rom for O2 XDA II Mini in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=76121#76121
or u may use the O2 Xda IIs One in FTP ( ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/O2_Xda_IIs_ASIA.rar )
i hope all ways works for yea
laters 8)
How TO?
NightmarE,
Sorry for asking this, i am not that TECHI...!
I have 2 version of ROMs (2.02, 2.06) I am planning to combine them as SIN's instruction.
Now, how will I include the .rar (from IIs) into the installation.
Since I already asked you this, can you also give me an instruction on how to edit/modify the contents/programs included in the ROM.
i will try also to include the WMP10...
Thanks in advance...

Hi All..
I'm a bit confused.. There are so many ROM's floating around....
I'm currently using "O2 XDA II->WM2003SE->Sin->Merged->v1.0" which suits my Aust O2 XDAII
I have reinstalled Bluetoothtools and not installed the email section to avoid the mail attachment problems.
Is there a better ROM out there than the one I am currently using?
ROM image is based on version: 2.06.00WWE (ver 4.21.1088 build 14132)
Radio image is version: 1.18.00
Extended ROM image is a variance of version 2.06.100a (Sin.Merged.v1.0)
Thanks....
Lots of views... but no replies...
Why don't you make your own? there's enough info in this forum to show you how!
You already have the best version...
All you need is to change your EXT_ROM. The one you are using is based on the Restored file (from BackUp)...
No need to re-flash your device, just delete all files from your Extended ROM. Extract files from any ms_.nbf files then copy these files in your EXT_ROM including the config.txt..
If you dont know how to extract then use the search button (header above) looking for ROM Image Editor. You will find the tools and the instruction HOW TO...
I recommend to keep your current Device Version... I have no problem using it...
Cheers,
Thanks heaps rmercado that's an excellent reply, exaculy what I needed to see...
I just uploaded Extended Rom files to FTP.

Man this Network lock sucks
Hi there all. I just got an XDAIIi from my sis in the UK. How ever after hours and hours of going through the forum I realised that the only way to unlock my PDA is through imei check. I hope that there is a program on the way to unlock them same as the XDA 2. Cheers
