Hi guys
First of all thanks for everybody who is just reading this ...
I bought a XDA2i from Ebay (Original O2 - UK) - unlocked it via IMEI-Check - everything works as good as possible - i'am happy with my device.
ROM Version: 1.10.00 WWE
Rom date: 12/24/04
Radio Version: 1.00.00
Protocol Version: 1337.39
Extended ROM: -- (nothing mentioned)
Bootloaderversion: 1.01
But the device is taesing me when i try to update the software. I really tried now everything human possible, i have no clue how i can do the upgrade.
The offizial softare ( picked from the O2 webpage) is goin very well, its th only one i can upgrade - the other Roms doesn't work. I got Error Messages concerning countrie, ROM doesn't fit to my device, connection, bla bla ..
With the patched himalaya setup file its possible to start the ERASING of the ROM - but in the RUU Logfile i can see that the process ist stopped after 3 trials, then i have to make a softreset..
Okay i studied now this forum and a german one POCKET PC Phone , since around 2 weeks - but i found no solution. I tried to change the ROMS Operator / Language by th eROM Editor, as well i tried the HEX Editor solution nothing - my device is laughing at me - and i really get crazy..
Before starting my trials i made a ROM Image on a SD ( everything works ver well ) also i read it from SD and saved it to my pc hardrive by using the programm NTRW.
So in my opinion there must be the opportunity to get from somebody a working IMAGE !!! File ( not ROM , no nbf or the files which are already on the FTP SErver) and write it with NTRW to the SD Card - bring the device in bootloader Modus an install the ROM ??
!!!
Does anybody has a working IMAGE-FILE !! for me ( XDA2i O2 WWE) an is able to save that on the FTP.
I really would appreciate your help, but for me it seems to be the last chance to get a newer software on the device.
thanks a lot in advance
Forgive me if I've got this wrong, but which ROM are you trying to apply to the XDA2i? I've got the same phone and there isn't any official updated ROM to put on it. There is a weird kinda one sitting on the FTP but I suspect it's not complete as there isn't a Windows installer...only what appears to be files to be run from the phone itself.
None of the other ROMs on this board will work on the 2i as they're for other phones.
Cheers

I wonder why there is no ExtROM in your Andes
Ext. Rom is not installed, why during the new software installation i made a soft reset just before the Ext. Rom was going to install itself on the device.
I had a close look in the forum, i studied it - and there were a lot of guys which wrote they have an XDA2i !! with ROM of TMOBILE or IMATE or whatever - not an original from O2..
And i'am looking for one of this guys, who has an XDA2i and a newer ROM - and this guy should provide me a IMAGE file to be able to write it on a SD card ant ugrade this f* PDA
what happens when you try to re-install the latest rom?

Hi All,
I have an XDA II with the lastest O2ASIA ROM.... Kind of anyway.
I stumbled upon an update for the XDA II and thought I would install it. Unfortunately I did not see the link that said "Asia Pacific Users click here"
and ended up attempting to upgrade to the UK ROM. It appeared to run perfectly, but now I have an O2ASIA XDA II that only says "USB v1.06".
So I'm obviously stuck at the bootloader screen. Have attempted to put the latest O2Asia version back on:
ROM version: 1.60.00 WWE
Radio version: 1.08.00
ExtROM version: 1.60.44
MMS Client: 1.6.0.8
but no joy, I get:
"Model ID Error 1-N-PH-PH-PH"
I have read through many posts with nothing really being of any help at this point.
How do I get my XDA working again? TIA to anyone who has slightly more of a clue than me
JP
I think your first update modified either your device model ID, country ID or language ID ... in this case you can unpack your Asian ROM upgrade file ... use xda2nbftool.exe to modify its files to have the O2 UK signatures.
Ok thanks, I have tried a few variations, but it does not want to co-operate.
Is there any way from the bootloader and the serial console that I can find out what its settings are sp I can match them up with xda2nbftool.exe?
Or is there a way via the bootloader and the serial console that I can change them?
well, you can try this ... use ER2003Edit tool to open the UK upgrade file ... you should find the required IDs there
Yep, did that. Used same tool to set the AsiaPac files but no joy, same Error 100: Model ID Error.
There does not seem to be any info around regarding creating an SD image on a PC that could be used to restore everything - that would be handy.
I am experiencing the same, allthough using the correct German ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=10668
Ok, problem sorted.
Booted a mate's XDAII to the bootloader, created the three ROM images on an SD card, put it in mine and it all downloaded successfully.
Does anyone know how I can take an image of the SD card?
JP
i've experienced the same problem when I downgrade mine from 1.66 to 1.60 O2 Asia
First reflash the unit with the 1.66 ROM, Use the ER2003Edit, make the DeviceID, Langguage Blank. the Country = 'O2'
the flash it.
then flash it again use the Original Working ROM from O2 UK or ASIA.
But for right now it is not possible to downgrade from 1.66 to 1.60 since from the information I got from the service center there's different Main Board for the XDA.
hi _JP_,
you can do that by a program called hex workshop. it allows you to save hex dumps of any storage card into a file and back again. i have done this today successfully several times. now i have the same problem. i have flashed my xda2 with a german 1.72 dump from an eplus qtek2020 but now the way back is blocked without a correct dump of a german o2 xda2, which i dont have available :-(

O2ASIA dead ROM
Hi, I am having the same USB 1.06 screen dead OS problem after trying to convert 1.66CHT ROM to 1.60WWE ROM.
Please help, I am not sure
1) what header information to change the 1.60WWE ROM so that i could flash the ENG version in the O2ASIA
2) used ER2003EDIT with error after trying to change the header information
3) dont' have the 1.66CHT ROM? couldn't get back
PLEASE HELP to get my O2 back !!! many thanks
Hi Cmong,
Here are the steps to sort out your XDA.
1. Find someone else with the same XDA (preferrably a friend - doing this will delete all their settings and data)
2. Get an SD card (I used a 128MB but 64 should do).
2. Download this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=19
3. Back up the data on the other person's XDAII
4. Disable USB connections in ActiveSync
5. Boot your friend's XDA to the bootloader (Power-Direction-Reset)
6. Put the XDAII in the USB Cradle
7. Use the program from (2) to backup all the ROMs to SD. I used the instructions found here: http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=62
8. Put the SD card into your broken XDAII and reset it
9. Push the power button when it tells you to and it will dump the ROMs to your XDA
10. Have a celebratory beer because your XDA is now working.
HTH

Hi, i have exactly same problem here (bootloader version 1.06), reading all the forums but no luck thus far. Problem is I don't have a mate with an xda 2. Anybody know where i can find the image needed and how to save it to SD card? I am no techie so step by step instructions would be welcome If nothing else works, if any kind soul would be so kind to email the image to me, (in chunks if its too big to email) I would be forever grateful
TIA for your help, hoping to get my xda 2 back form the dead :?
some more details... my xda 2 is brand new uk version locked to O2. Anyone with a dump image that could solve my problem? TIA
Gday mate,
You are in the UK so I don't think my image is going to work, but since you are desparate I will post it here.
I can't help you out too much, I created the image with the hex editor mentioned in the above posts, I have not had time to play with it and can only tell you that it is an image of the 128mb flash card that i fixed my xda with.
While I have dumped it from the card, I have not actually experimented with how to write the image back to the card so I think if you are not a techie you will struggle a bit to get it working.
Note that this is the Asia Pacific image and will probably not work in your xda since you are in the UK.
If you do manage to write the image to the SD card, just put it in the slot and reboot the xda and it will tell you to press the power button to download.
Can I suggest that this forum might be a good place to post other SD ROM recovery images for other regions apart from the one I have???
thanks
i will try and download it... waiting for a fellow from the forum who has the right image (hopefully) to get back to me... and i am surprised as u r these images are not readily available on the net.. I think they would solve many problems in case something goes wrong when u update. As a matter of fact these image files should be available form the product support (just like windows boot disks are available to repair a desktop computer) thanks for ur help, if anybody knows how to dump the image correctly, please post the procedure here (will need it for uk image too)... I am not asking too much am i?
cheers
peter_altherr earlier in this thread I think knows how to do it.
When I reboot, it doesn't ask me anything
Thank you for your help.
I have copy the image to the my SD card and try to reboot like what you mentioned, but it doesn't ask me anything. All it did was just showing the serial v1.06. I tried the power + direction pad + rest and it is no use. Am I doing any thing wrong?
Hi
Ive just been on teh orange site, and I see there is a new ROM available http://web.orange.co.uk/story/sm_1047574.html
The new version has an operator version 3.661.230 (MMS version). But my SPV does not seem to have an operator version
Currently I'm running:-
Rom version 1.60.00WWE
Rom date 12/03/03
Radio version: 1.10.00
Protocol version: 1337.18
ExtROM version: 1.60.38
Is it worth upgrading?how will I benifit?
Cheers
JustinP
Hi,
Checked out the new upgrade from Orange and it works perfectly on my SPV M1000.
The benfits of upgrading are that you will be able to send MMS messages from your phone without having to configure everything yourself (which I had to do!)
The other benefits (apparently) are better radio and GPRS, but I haven't noticed any difference yet.
Also, while I was upgrading, I had a message saying there was a problem and to start again. Don't worry if this happens as I reconnected the phone and it installed fine.
Hope this helps!
Thank you!
First of all THANK YOU justinp for spotting this and sharing it with us!
I've also been calling Orange trying to find out about updates, but unfortunatly with no success.
Second to all:
a) I share justinp question, but my setup is a bit older:
Currently I'm running:-
Rom version 1.52.00WWE
Rom date 10/23/03
Radio version: 1.05.16
Protocol version: 1337.16
ExtROM version: 1.52.56
I could not find anything looking like the 3.661.230 where they indicated it.
b) Once I am going through the asshole of a a ROM upgrade, are there real advantage in going for the imate 1.72 update and going through a slightly more complicated procedure?
Just to put into context I already have installed thanks to this forum an SMS SW version I am happy with and I want to buy a BT GPS in the next two month so if you know for sure that it is not going to work either with my ROM or the new one from Orange please let me know!!!
THANKS!

Orange M1000 Upgrade ROM Thur 12th Aug 2004... Problem
Hi,
I upgraded my ROM to the latest from Orange UK and my bluetooth headset (Logitech) paired OK and I can hear the people talking, but they CAN'T hear me!
Anyone had this type of problem before? I have used the MMS version. Today I will try the NON-MMS version and see if that allows 2 way communication via Bluetooth
Thanks
Nitesh
I just upgraded my ROM and now I cant see the STORAGE folder. Anyone else have this issue?
Storage folder missing
I too upgraded my M1000 and when I did a restore from Sprite - It too made my storage and storage card disappear. In the end I just did a hard reset and manually installed my programs and did not do a restore.

Hi,
You say you have problems with the Storage/Storage card going missing - when you performed the upgrade, were these still visible until you restored things with Sprite because this might be the problem if you are restoring an old configuration with an updated ROM.
I haven't tried my phone with a Bluetooth headset, I got the MMS version, will let you know if I have the same problem, but everything is working fine on mine at the moment.
Hi
I have installed the upgrade, everything works as well as it did before, time will tell if there are any improvements.
After an upgrade dont do a restore as the old backup is not compatible with the new OS. Its just the way PPCs work. I'm afraid you need to re-install everything from scratch, it too me about 4 hours, but its done know.
Cheers

m1000 rom
hi guys
any chance someone could post just the extended rom from the up grade cheers
To get the upgrade click on the link I posted in the first post of this thread
help
Just tried this update and received an error message.
Took the phone out of the craddle and performed a soft reset..
Screen still says "Serial V1. 03"
I cannot get it to do anything.
How do you perform a hard reset? Have tried pressing reset button with no battery (battery catch up and down) and tried letting the case touch the pins on the phone which can reset it.
TRULY HELP!!! PLEASE PLEASE HELP (please!)
With thanks
Dave.
yep ive just done the same,
yep ive just done the same, been trying for 1 hour now to get it running but no luck.
just spent an hour on to orange trying to explain the phone now neads replacing but they cannot send out till tomorrow.
lets hope it has the new rom installled or i may be in the same boat tomorrow
It now works!!! PHEW!!
Tried the hard reset & nothing happens.
What I did was hard reset then tried the update again... software now tells me that phone is now not compatible with the update.
I then repeated the above 17 panic-stricken times (both reset then update) and eventually it started the update process. Has now finally completed.
I was so worried!
GRPS is still flaky and still waiting for the MMS message sent to myself to go through (a bit slow).
Quick question for those who have updated
Hi!
Could any of you that have done the update please tell me what ROM version do you get after the update? 1.52, 1.60, the last 1.72?
Have u noticed any improvement with the use of BT (expecially with GPS).
Thanks!
Chris
After the update you will get
Rom version 1.66.00WWE
Rom date 02/20/04
Radio version: 1.10.00
Protocol version: 1337.18
ExtROM version: 1.66.230
So far I see no imporvements
Cheers

Hard reset ???
I also upgraded my SPV with this ROM with MMS. I found no improvements, but 1 major problem. Sometimes the SPV is in suspend mode, i wait for several of minutes and want to push the power button, the device doesnt seem to react. Putting in the cradle isnt working also and taking the battery out and in again is also a failure. So the only sollution is to hard reset the m1000. Since the upgrade (2 weeks ago) i performed 2 hard resets. You guys also got the same problem? Or do you know how to fix this? I tried to upgrade my orange rom to the original Qtek 1.72 rom, but i got a message 120: error country code. So any ideas?

Thanks for that link.
I needed to restore my m1000 back to 2003SE after an experiment in upgrading to WM6 and realised I didn't have the ROM.

Thanks for the link. have been searching for the rom for about 1 month now.thanks thanks thanks
Hi guys, I'm VERY new here
I have a UK Orange SPV M1000 with the following details:
Operator Version: 3.66.1.230
ROM Version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.10.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM version: 1.66.230
I want to upgrade to 2003SE because of what I've read about improved battery, improved BT and widescreen use (and cos I just do )
I've downloaded the ROM and ExtROM from the massive 26 page topic further down the page but ran the .exe and got ERROR 120: country ID error.
Hmmm....
I looked through the forum but to be honest a lot of the stuff went over my head and 30 pages of topic is a lot to read through...
Can someone PLEASE put down a step by step 'idiots' guide to upgrading my ROM with links to relevant things i would need to download/install/whatever
I know I'm asking a lot but it would really help me and I suspect many other people who might look at the forum and leave after a few minutes with spinning heads.
Also, I've not been able to find any posts in reference to the M1000, only O2 branded and original HTC devices. Does this mean I'll have problems connecting to Orange and will need to set up GPRS connections, etc myself?
One more thing.... I have an original Orange 1.66 ROM (downloaded from the Orange UK website). If I mess things up, don't like it, have to send it back to Orange, will i just be able to run that ROM update and everything will go back to how it was?
Phew, long 1st post!
Thanks for reading!!!
I upgraded mine yesterday with the help of a post on getting round the country id, however bluetooth and camera didnt work so had to go back to old rom, so yes you can go backwards.
Hi, I'll try to help you.
Now unrar the files you have. There you'll find "HimaGetDeviceData" file. Copy this one in your PPC.
> Then run it from there. HimaGetDeviceData won't do anything.
> then go to Windows directory and search for file called "Device Data". Copy it to your PC and open it.
there you will found data for your USB, Rom version, this meen 1.66.00wwe, PH10, and the last two are very importaint.
They can be ...
first one O2, Qtek, CDL, TMOBILE. Remember your. This is your Operator.
Second one can be ... WWE, ENG, GER. This is your Language.
After this, you need to download ER2003Edit. You can find it in the forom.
When you install this run the program and open ms_.nbf file first.
You will se the operator and Language. Change them if they are different from yours. ( this is the O2, QTEK, and WWE, ENG ).
Save the ROM file ( CTRL+S ).
Do this with the other two NK.nbf and Radio_.nbf files.
Then run " HimaUpgradeUt " and wait for " Congratulations " and you're ready.
Oh, when you get the Congr... Do hard reset.
(dont wory if you see on the screen of your PPC Radio stack or something like this isupgrading "Please wait" do your hard reset. )
Sorry for the bad English.
If have any questions ask
Hope this will help.
Ok, I have ER2003EDIT installed but when i tried to open ms_.nbf and it said i had the wrong password and asked me to enter one.
Any idea what it could be??
Thanks!
I think that you must not use the autodetect ROM, but the specific filetype: ms_.nbf. This worked for me...
Hi there,
Although a frequent reader, this i my first post and I NEED YOUR HELP.
Total loser that i am i accidently run the HimaClearJumpCode.exe on my himalaya instead of the HimaGetDeviceData.exe. And as you stated in another topic: (Warning: DO NOT under any circumstances copy and run HimaClearJumpCode.exe on your device as it will render it unbootable. It is used by the upgrade utility to put you device into bootloader mode prior to upgrading.)
I am now properly F*CKED, please help!!!!!!!!! (if there is a way out of this...) Please also note i do not have the proper country id code to install a new ROM ( Orange Netherlands), which is what started this mess.
Humbly hoping for your help...
