my first post and contribution.. hopefully it would be alot of help to other people..
this is the official IMATE 1.72 ROM...except that it was encoded to work with O2 XDA2 units
added the O2 splash screen to retain the O2 bootup image -just load O2.cab into your XDA2
the upgrade utility shouldnt show you any more country ID error for O2 XDA2 units.. if there are problems.. holler me ASAP!!
feedbacks would be nice, coz i would like to make upgrades for other Network providers as well..
Thanks for that.
Can you show me a step by step guide on how to upgrade O2 xda 2 1.60.WWE version to this?
Thanks again.
ok... im not an expert yet, coz i just had my XDA2 for a week, but i do enjoy tweaking and playing with it.. besides, the knowledge i gain thru reading this forum is more than enough..
ok.. here goes..
1. create a full BACKUP your XDA2.. (but i dunno if this is helpful should you fail to upgrade your ROM)
2. download the above file and extract it.
3. you should see it extract 7 files.
4. put your xda2 in the cradle connected to the PC
5. run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
6. wait around 30-60 mins. then follow the procedure as shown on your computer. (a hard reset would be required)
7. after the upgrade is done, you should see the IMATE screen upon booting up (instead of the O2 bubble screen) if you wanne be extra sure, check your XDA2 version.if everything is ok, then you should have upgraded it correctly
8. if you want to revert to the old O2 splash screen during bootup, then copy O2.cab to your XDA2 and run it there. Do a soft reset, and voila, it should be back to the old O2 bootscreen.
I suggest that you contact your NETWORK PROVIDER because you will need to manually configure GPRS, MMS, and INTERNET settings on your xda2 after doing the upgrade.
WARNING: i wont be held responsible or liable for failed upgrade of your unit. Please understand that by agreeing to upgrade your XDA2, you are taking full responsibility of whatever untoward incidents that may occur to your XDA2. Flashing the rom might lead to DATA LOSS, SYSTEM MALFUNCTION, and even DEVICE MALFUNCTION.
but.. the rewards of upgrading it is sweet!
Many thanks for all of these description.
BTW, how do you feel the upgrade?
What you really get from this?
Can you share with us?
Thanks again.
Cheers mate.
i dunno, im just a week old newbie in using XDA2 :wink:
i just enjoy tweaking the XDA..so far, no problems here.
My xda2 currently is 1.66wwe. after upgrade to 1.72wwe, what's the different between it? anything increase? sorry because i'm a new bird
did a lil research.. so far, came to this...
The 1.72 ROM eliminates the majority of problems from the 1.66 ROM such as:
Increased battery drain
Device slows down
Bluetooth GPS devices don't work, even with Pocket Bluetooth Tools
Can it be downgraded back to O2 xda2 1.60WWE Rom?
Many thanks.
i doubt that it can be downgraded... i havent personally tried to downgrade my ROM to a lower version.. but there are other threads related to this, and they claim that when they tried downgrading their ROMS, their XDA2 died....
you can try searching for other topics if there are information about downgrading... .so far, i dont have any problems with my 1.72 ROM...
except that there is no running program application which enables me to switch off any running program in the background.. but i easily remedied it by downloading TASKMANAGER.... its quite the same with running programs...other than that, so far, so good.
Error 121 Language ID Error
Hi,
after running HimaUpgradeUt.exe I get the message:
Error 121 Language ID Error (N-2-1-0-1), the ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your Pocket PC.
I ran ERedit2003 Version 1.2.20 and opened the file ms_.nbf using the password 0x20040305. I saved the file with the different language settings WWE, ENG and GER. Always the problem remains the same.
My XDA2 currently has ROM 1.66.01GER.
Thanks for help.
try to change the operator name , too! or use other hymalaya upgrade files, from other roms!

Hi,
Thanks. But now I get the message:
Error 120 Language ID Error ( N-1-8-1-8 ), the ROM image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your Pocket PC. I tried with settings O2 WWE, O2 GER and O2 ENG.
When specifying CDL instead of O2 the error code changes to Error 120 Language ID Error ( N-1-8-8-8 ).
So the problem remains the same
Thanks for help.
Help for beginners: upgrading O2 Xda II to ROM 1.72
New to Forum-sorry to be slow on the uptake. I am trying to undersand how to upgrade O2 Xda II (ExROM 160.50) to ROM 1.72 without losing the machine. Waxx says you need to reconfigure the ISP settings (I assume because they are lost in the upgrade). I cannot find O2 settings for GPRS Interenet and MMS on the net. Talking to O2 is a waste of time.
Does anyone have a step by step description that results in ROM 1.72/Radio 1.18 (or lower if 1.18 still in beta) working on O2 Xda II?
Has anyone reported doing it sucessfully. Have non recoverable failures been reported?
RamyG
Just copy the attached CAB file across to say, My Documents on your XDA, and run it via FileManager.
It will customise your O2 XDA II with all the correct settings.
Once it has done that (and you've tested it works), just uninstall the O2 Active bit and your settings will remain (well they did on mine)
BTW - I upgraded to the new ROM, and have had no problems at all ! Very sweet
Mark
Thnx Mark, just to make sure before I jump in: the steps are:
(1) upgrade to 1.72 using Waxx's attachement (is that the file you used?) (2) follow the procedure you described and I will get O2 customised Xda II (same as where I started) but with ROM1.72 and later Radio Stack. Right?
2 questions:
(a) are the GPRS setting for MOBILE WEB (post paid)
(b) what benefits should I expect from the upgrade? (other than the satisfaction that it succeeded, l if it works?
thnx
RamyG
Yep I used the attachment from Waxx ...
The procedure you mentioned is correct ... I did have a few heart stopping moments after the upgrade because (like you) I couldn't find the necessary settings for GPRS etc .. but the O2 cab file re-installs everything back to what it should be for the UK.
You are prompted to choose relevant settings - in this case you get a choice from either post-paid (MobileWeb) or PrePay ...
As for benefits, people are reporting better bluetooth support, and better battery life. Only upgraded mine yesterday, so can't comment on either yet !
HTH

Has anyone else had problems charging overnight with the ROM version?
Got Error 120: Country ID error N-8-1-1-1
Hi all,
I am new member here. I did upgrade to ROM 1.72WWE and seems working fine. Because the PDA is idle, I try to roll back to ROM 1.60.44 eng. and got the country id error N-8-1-1-1. I tried to set the regional to English (UK) and English (US) but failed. Any comment? My XDAII is bought from Asia-HK. Thanks a lot.
Chris
Mark thnx for your help. For all those undecided souls I can report that Waxx's ROM 172 upgrade works fine for O2 Xda II. (BTW: it takes 3 times as long to upgrade as they say it does - it's 30 min for each of ROM ExROM and Radio modules).
Mark, O2.cab did not work as exepcted for some reason. When I ran it, it simple created a text file with O2 network config info and did not actually configure the Xda II. The info was correct and a manual config worked first time. Puzzled, I ran the O2 cab again but from another directory. This time I got the O2 spiral (I may have gotten the network configed again I can't know as I had previously configured it manually . The upgrade did lose the O2 dialer screen and reverted to the iMATE one. This is trivial. the Net is full of free attractive skins. e.g http://sourceforge.net/projects/pocketpc-apps/
Mark Peters- I thank you again.

I have bootloader version: 1.03
When I turn on my xda i see only screen:
serial
v1.03
i think that my xda is dead how can i repair this?
I try flash my device using sd but i dont have this option in my bootloader..
You should be able to upgrade your device using the HimaUpgradeUt program. See my post here for information on what to look out for, etc.
I think thats is not good way because i cant connect my device to pc using activesync.. i have only bootloader mode on my xda..
That doesn't matter, the upgrade doesn't need Activesync. It looks after its own connections.
I just connect my xda in bootloader mode to usb. The activesync not saw may device but i run HimaUpgradeUt.exe and my device start upgrade! I have Germany ROM now i upgrade this To same English ROM.. Before i do this that way program show mi error 102.. now its look like everthing be good.. we will see for 5 minutes.
sorry for my english
i am from poland
OK. Let me know what happens.
The program just finish operation.. but on my device screen is still:
Upgrading
radio stack
Please Wait...
I dont know what i should do..?
That's OK. As long as the PC said 'Congratulations' its all done. Take your device out the cradle, hard reset it and it will run the standard setup.
Everythink is great! My Pocket Pc work! Thank You for Your advise.
Maybe somebody know where I can find some Rom to Xda.. Without O2 Rom because i have it. Maybe there is some rom kitchen like for xda 1
Excellent news For information about customising the Extended ROM, search for Extended ROM on the forums.
to dcs: I'm now upgading my o22'Rom from v2.06 to 2.20 (translated frm chinese --> english). after I completed fixing country ID, I have a new erro (erro102: CE image file checksum erro. the Rom image file to be used for the update is corrupt). I try to download again and update but I fail, the erro is 102. please show me hoe to pass this erro.
thank
If u see the log after HimaUpdIt ul see some like this;
16:27:04 Connection with USB
16:27:37 Begin stage 1
16:28:11 End stage 1
16:28:12 Begin stage 2
16:28:12 Write block1
so, he searches for his own connection! Dont worry just download the rom, himaupdit file and upgrade ur xda Tell us how it works
I tried to do a ROM Upgrade but something went wrong and now the screen on my XDA II just shows the words Serial and v1.06. When I did a hard reset the screen still shows the same thing. When I connect the device using the cradle the word Serial changed to USB, but it didn't seem to connect to the PC. The Activesync was not activated also. When I tried to run the ROM Upgrade again, it shows ERROR 100: MODEL ID ERROR. I tried to run HimaUpgradeUT_noID.exe, it shows Error 103: ROM IMAGE FILE NOT FOUND. Can anyone please help me get my device working again? Thank you in advance.
Wrong ID
a few days ago i had the same problem with my HTC Blue Angel (also known as
qtek 9090)
temporaly youre PDA shows the bootloaderscreen. On top it shows youre kind of connection, on the bottom you can find the revision of this piece of software.
try this tool to reanimate youre pda.

extract this file into the dir, where you have copied the original ROM-Image from youre developer, put youre PDA into cradle and check, if the status of this connection is changed in USB. Everything o.k? Right now: doubleklick on MAUpgradeUT_NoID and drink a coffee. it takes about 10 Minutes and after this youre pda runs as well. dont forget to copy youre original ROM-Image with the original Installer after finishing this procedure to avoid any errors.
Well, i hope this tutor will help you. i´m interested for.

Dead XDA II
Hi Guys, I'm new to all this because my XDA has never failed me, until now. I too tried to upgrade the ROM, realising too late that the upgrade from a UK site was not meast for the Asian zone.
Anyway, I tried downloading the following link:
http://rapidshare.com/files/36498840...adeUt_noID.rar runterladen.
When I tried to lanch the file it tells me that RUU.dll is missing.
Is there a link that works or is there a fix for this? As I said, I'm new to this therefore need step by step instruction.
Hope someone can assist, I'm lost without my XDA II.
Thank you
Ben

Hi Usman,
What OS of windows PC do you use? it can't work with windows vista. Try to downloads new version of active sync then try it again. The upgrade is specify, can't work in any kind of devices
I have a M600 IPL 2.10.0001, SPL 2.10.0001 Current Rom 2.10.1.22WWE, Radio Ver 02.07.20 Protocol 413.1.03. I am trying to update my OS to WM6 using the roms i have found within this amazing site but with no joy, so far all i have been able to do is flash rome back to the original rom of device but without all the M600 spec (like the on screen orientation etc) but i have however been able to add these via cab files which i downloaded with the orange shipping rom but again i was unable to flash the rom also included via the usb update utility as i had done earlier - it seems like every time i try and flash a new rom using either the old or new way as followed exactly i get an error message on my pc and my m600 reverts back to bootloader mode (pretty 3 colour screen) Please please any ideas welcome
VISTA or XP ???
I think Vista have problems regarding RUU...

Just to let you know i have even tried locating ruu file and running as admin as i have had suggested from one of our american friends and still no joy - i will save files to disk and load from another machine with xP for now but if any news breaks re vista please keep me posted - cheers
i had the same problem, so i installed a virtual machine of XP and it works fine
I have this Siemens SX56 that I bought on ebay
say on information:
ROM version: 3.14.03 ENG
ROM date: 09/27/02
Radio version: 6.12
Protocol version: 324e4
I tried to look on this site but there are too many to read, please kindly someone can direct me to a direct link for the right version for me to download thank you

sx56 problem
I downloaded the XDA-developers-SER-v12 for my siemens sx56...
the problem is that when i downloaded it and have it activated... the phone show upgrading...will take 5 minutes to do so and do not unplug... the thing is...it has been over 5 minutes and it still shows in my screen and i couldn't get to take it off...
now the thing is as soon as it unzips it says that i have to have my phone on active sync... i cannot do so since the phone is stucked... now when i try to cancel it it says "cannot open the ROM image file" please download and try again" so that's how it goes repetitively... what is the best way that i can do with this? if it ain't going to work.. i would rather just use it as an organizer like it used to...
is there anything i can do with this?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
and if you want to unlock use the exe tool rather then a very very very old rom
like
XDA-developers-SER-v12
The code will change depending on the model of the mobile phone. Every step has to be carefully followed while unlocking the phone.
SX56 problems
Hi, I recently got a brand new Siemens SX56 from ebay. It was never upgraded to firmware. I took the task of upgrading this but something happened that killed the process. Now the device is stuck at this mode even after doing a reset.
My steps were, I updated Active Sync to 3.7.1 (the latest version) The device is happily communicating with my pc.
Then started the upgrade and the screen says "upgrading will take 5 minutes, do not remove device or uplug power...during upgrade process..etc"
The program says it encountered an error during the upgrade and basically stopped the process. I knew this was bad. The instructions told me to uplug the device from the usb cable, do a normal reset, plug usb cable back in, and then retry the upgrade utility.
It won't because no active sync can't see my device because the screen is stuck on that "upgrading takes 5 minutes screen"
Is this device basically dead? Please help. This was a clear upgrade process and clearly the process got an error.
Hello gybanez,
I had the same problem and was able resolve the problem.
You have two options:
1. you can send it to me and I will do it for free.
or
2. buy these:
a. MMC card (at least 64 mb)
b. buy a Card Reader/writer that supports MMC
c. go to www.xda-developers.com and download "XDA-developers-SER-v12"
d. extract the ROM from XDA-Developers-ser-v12 (.nbf file).
e. also download XDA-TOOLS (used to copy the .nbf file extracted to
your new MMC card on the Card reader/writer.
f. now insert the MMC card into your sx56 press reset and power button
at the same time and it should take you to a screen which asks you
to press "action button" to download and once done do a cold reset.
This should do the trick and afterwards if you want to upgrade and or
customize it go to http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/ great site.
PS: If anyone wants to correct/add to this please feel free.
Regards, JOHNNY.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
This was the same problem I had... so finally i got it all and had it transferred in the MMC card...
the thing...as soon as I run it...it get stuck on "SIR TEST : Supporting Running"
and another is that I am using Vista and downloaded the latest mobile sync... but it responds that it doesn't identify the HTC mobile... really sad... can someone contact me via YM: [email protected]
need help
