Hi All
I have original Australian O2 ROM:
ROM Version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM Date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.08.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM Version: 1.66.165
I also use the O2 Bluetooth head set which I would also like to keep using (I've noticed a few people having issues with some ROM upgrade versions)
Please could someone send me a link where I can download the most stable/updated ROM for my Australian XDA II.
Sorry for asking for links but I am so confused when trying to search for this, I never know what one to use and there are so many around.
I would also like to (IF POSSIBLE) get an upgrade ROM that is automated like O2 original ROM's, one EXE that extracts and does it all for you... no commands or lots of text to read though and try and work out how to do it all....
MANY THANKS!!!!!
Hope someone can help me out!

ROM Upgrade
Hi. I'm in a similar position. Notes won't work, SMS has stopped working and hard resets don't help. Am looking for version 1.72.187 which seeems to be the best one at present for Australian XDA II. Can anyone assist in locating it. Tried source without luck. Still hunting...

Best thing would be to download the UK one for Xda II, hack the device_ID on yours to make it look like a UK one.,,,,,
Thanks for the reply Southern_Man.
Does the UK one have the settings and profiles for Telstra Settings and all. Eg. When you do a hard reset it askes you to select your phone provider to set up the settings for that provider. I would have though it would have only had UK telco's as mine only seems to have Australian ones?
Does any one else have an easy upgrade path for the O2 XDAII for either Win2003 or Win2003SE... but I am looking for a stable version where every thing works that should... EG. Alarms, Bluetooth headset, Bluetooth GPS, Phone...etc..etc
Many thanks guys!

You're right, it only has the O2 UK settings. But imate have published a list of config cabs for most carriers which you can download and use.
Read the site, update your xda ii, open the extended rom (bit like a small hard disk) and load your own settings in.
You'll get a great deal of satisfaction, and a new way of using your gadget...
Hi Southern_Man
Thanks oncea again for the fast reply.
This version you are talking about I'm asuming it is Win2003 (same as the one I have currently?) is ther much diference that you know of?
Also where can I download all the required software (Rom, ID changer, Config Cabs..etc..etc) and instructions on how to get it all done?
In your opinion do you think it's worth the effort (as it is the same OS version? I am unsure what they have fixed etc..etc)
Thanks once again for your efforts.. Sorry I'm just not into the pocketPC stuff as much at the moment and I use it every day so don't want to stuff any thing up... want to double and triple check before I do any thing

ROM Upgrade
Downloaded the UK version and upgraded to 1.72.181 with no problems. Has been working fine and solved the SMS problem but still have Notes that won't open.
With the download all I needed to do was input the Imei number and it downloaded fine. Got it from the UK XDA site.
On flashing it did report one problem and then suggested that I disconnect, reconnect the device and try again. That was successful.
I can recommend this for anyone in Australia so far. :wink: The configuration to GPRS is different as autoconfig is removed but that was pretty simple really.
Also got the application updates from the site and found the voice dialler to be great so far. Fax facility not much use unless you're happy to pay all the fees to optus for the service.
Will consider the extended ROM upgrade to higher versions to see if I can solve the notes problem or may use the ROM unlocker to copy another file from an uncorrupted device.
Telstra config
The UK version was easily able to sort out the optus stuff and search for the network. I'm pretty sure it will do the telstra stuff no probs. Thats version 1.72.181 I'll check it right now to see although I don't have a telstra sim card....No Problems! Go to phone , options, network, click on manual selection, it will then search for all available networks and will pick up optus, telstra and vodaphone AU with no problems. No point in stuffing around with all the technical stuff!
Hi fairchiro
Thanks for the reply.
I have just tried to download the updates but it says my IME number is not valid or has already been registerd? I have registered it on MyXDA.com when I purchased the phone a few years ago, could this be my problem?
Do you know where else I can get a copy of this ROM? Also what is the Extended ROM update do? I though the updates updated every thing? (Eg. Radio, Extended, Rom...etc..etc) If not is there a copy of the ROM that updates all software on the PDA?
Also does any one know what is diferent between the UK and Australian version I am currently running?
I have original Australian O2 ROM:
ROM Version: 1.66.00WWE
ROM Date: 02/20/04
Radio Version: 1.08.00
Protocol Version: 1337.18
ExtROM Version: 1.66.165
Is there much point is just upgrading the ROM version if the others are also not updated?
Does this update fix or have a better battery life (when using bluetooth for example?)
Many thanks once again!
:lol:
FB
Hi Guys, also been reading around I'm not too sure what the diferences are between the two versions (Eg. Version I have and the UK updated version)...
Would it be better for me looking at upgrading to Win2003SE as there seems to be a few more features it offers? If so what is the best and esiest upgrade path to take... and the most stable (stability is what I am looking for!)
Cheers

Microsoft seem to have a fairly consistent model, whereby it takes them 3-4 attempts to release a decent build of anything. AKU2 is their 3rd go at WM2003SE, and is actually pretty good. Fast, good battery and so on. Worth it for speed and stability.
When they are at AKU2 on Magneto, supposedly in the new year, then all those Windows Mobile 5 devices will be worth looking at (and cheaper too)
ROM Upgrades
Hi Fudgebum....sorry, bottom.
I don't think that the previous registration of your IMEI at myxda will be a problem because mine was registered there also.
The 1.72.181 upgrade will update your ROM, radio, and Extended ROM all at the same time.
Don't quote me on this but, I get the understanding that the extended ROM is one that is not quite essential to the basic running of the PDA. In other words you can play with it so that certain programs are included and certain ones are not. Hey but I'm still learning about all this stuff too. In this forum lots of guys, especially "zero" or is it "extremezero" or similar, seem to cook up their own versions of the extended ROM for personalizing aspects of the pda operation and available applications.
If you want to send me a personal message (see PM's above) then I can post you a cd with the ROM update on it or you should be able to download it at the UK site . Can't understand why you can't as long as you can input an IMEI. :?
Good Luck

Hi there,
A close friend has recently upgraded to a new phone, and passed me her xda. It's currently got the following:
ROM Version: 3.12.07 ENG
ROM date: 08/13/02
Radio version: 4.06
Protocol version 32S54
Model No.: PW10A1
I've just downloaded the lastest ROMS from myxda.com (3.20.06 ENG, 07/30/03, Radio: 4.21, Protocol: 32S54), and am just about to flash my unit.
I don't have an SD card, should I try to get one before I do? (There is no data in the xda yet, I just got it a week ago). What'd be a 'good capacity' to get?
Besides the 'official' rom above, which would be the best rom to install onto the xda? I'm very keen on having IIWPO, but am a little daunted by all the options available out there. (And if applicable, please advise on the 'best' PPC2002 and PPC2003 versions).
Should i be looking at 'alternative' radio stacks, or is 4.21 good? Would be nice to have the option to switch between GSM900/1800/1900, but it's not very necessarry. (I'm gussing this is controlled by the radiostack, and not the ROM?). My current region uses GSM900/1800. I do occassionally travel to the US
Advice please? Thank you!
Your phone is capable only of 900/1800 so will not work in the usa on 1900 band. I would suggest leaving your radio stack alone if it works ok as 4.21 seemed to break more than it fixed. The sd card method of upgrading is a much better way of doing things in my opinion. You can use the bootloader to backup your existing windows ce then you can flash a new rom from the kitchen and if not happy you can restore your system, this isnt the case with radio stacks so be very careful about radio upgrades. xdatools gives you a heap of options for backing up, reading, writing, storing etc of rom images. The original idea for rom flashing by programmers was partially to do with the fact that there is lots of unused/wasted space in the rom area, the developers decided to write lots of useful programs to the unused space which makes the xda a super pda/phone instead of a mediocre pda/phone.
Thanks for your reply; however, I was quite excited about the modem capability, and have since installed the 4.21 radio stack. Am not sure what the issues are, but I probably won't notice, having no prior experience with the unit.
Been playing with it for most of today, and must say it's very interesting. There is a whole slew of sofware most kitchens carry, that I have no idea where to even begin!
Would it be correct to say if I cooked a rom with only 'theft protection' checked, and everything else turned off, it would be the same as the 'original' rom that was released? Would like to learn more about the xda before venturing into the powertoys
The question I have however is: How do I choose which BaseROM to use?
In Lumpistefans ROMkitchen, I see:
WM2003 -
4.01.16 ENG
4.01.19 GER (default)
A.30.09 ENG
Whats the difference between each of the above? Does O2, or O2asia have a WM2003 release yet? It would appear some of these ROMs, once installed, cant be downgraded without an SD card - which are these? Or at least, that is the impression I get when browsing these forums. Can I replace them with the same version cooked rom? (just so that i won't get caught in a bind experimenting with the theft protection)
PPC2002 -
3.17.03 ENG O2-Euro (default)
3.19.01 GER O2
I currently have 3.20.06 ENG from 02asia,which seems to be a newer version than in the kitchen. Should i try to extract mine, and send it to the kitchen (that is if they take uploads/contributions)?
If I wanted to build my own kitchen, where do I start? I do already have access to a linux box that runs a webserver and supports php. Been searching all over but cannnot seem to figure where to download the kitchen scripts (a direct URL please?). Am actually interested in creating my own custom boot screen (THIS PDA IS MINE! - with a picture of me :lol
Other misc questions:
If I wanted to 'zero' the total in/outgoing calls? Do I need the serial cable with xda manipulator? Could someone point me to a circuit dragram where i can wire my own serial cable if that is the case, or is there some other way to do it now? Can I still do this having upgraded my radiostack to 4.21? or did i just lose the chance to do so?
Is the headphone connector similar to any other mobile phones? (eg: can I use a nokia, or motorola handsfree?) or is it propietary?

4.01.16 is the offical WM2003 release from T-mobile. It's the same as the 4.01.00 Beta. As some mates here reported some issues in this ROM, I 'm still using the 4.01.00 with no problems at all.
The 4.01.19 is obviously for the German devices. The 30.09 is a very good stable ROM from AT&T except that it has a very silly sound issue that kept many from using it

You may PM Stephan to get his advice, but if it's only for a customized boot image, I believe there is a special tool for that can be used with the .nbf file before flashing.

It's propietary, but you can get an adaptor to allow you using any standard Nokia headset ... check Expansys
Thanks Biso, hadn't realised there were 2 seperate timers, and I was originally looking at settings-device information, and could't find the 'reset' button.
But now, I'm back with a little situation...
Spent some time reading the board, and learnt about the differences between the PW10A1 (900/1800), and the PW10B1 (900/1900). The little I did figure out is not to muck with the 'other' radio stack, and stick with 4.21 (my unit is from asia...)
However, I didn't quite realise the ROMS were different too. So, right now, my PW10A1 has a 'b' WM2003 firmware in it. No big problem, except when I wander into settings-phone-band, I'm forced to choose either 900 or 1900 where I then I lose network coverage.
I did try the bandswitch tool but that didn't work - I basically have to reset into the bootloader and select 900/1800 there. :x
The only place I can find to cook ROMs right now is Lumpistefans ROMkitchen, and the little I've learnt so far is
4.01.16 ENG - PW10B1
A.30.09 ENG - PW10B1 (I prefer this over 4.0.16 ENG)
Yes, there is a whole slew of threads on how to get Bs back to A, and As back to B. I'll go do that as soon as I figure out which are the A roms.
So, the newbie question I have is : How do I know which roms are PW10A1 and which roms are PW10B1?
Also, are there any other (public) kitchens out there? I can't get to the one on yorch.net.
Finally, when I do ever get down to setting up my own private kitchen, would it be possible to directly modify the base ROM, and change B roms to A? (ie: A.30.09 ENG becomes a PW101A1 rom, and settings-phone-band would show 900/1800 instead? or at least hide that menu item?)
There is no connection between the ROM version and the device type .. you can use any ROM with A or B device ... However, with A devices, you should never touch the band selector found in 4.01.xx ROMs as it was released by T-mobile for US regions (900/1900) ... but it works perfectly for 900/1800 as long as you have the proper RSU.
In general, always refer to the rear sticker to get the device type and forget what's written in the device info ... of course if the mother board is still the original.
A30.09 should be a very good and stable ROM except its sound bug, that's why I consider 4.01.00 is the 2nd best for now.
These are very good kitchens:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
A30.09 doesn't have a band selector as it has auto band switching interface with the RSU, and with your own kitchen I dont' think you will be able to modify such basic feature like the band selector ... you can barely add some addtional s/w to the ROM space ... which doesn't justify building your kitchen for just changing the device type displayed.
Good luck ...

I had no idea but I guess it is as it comes from SourceO2...
It's the same link to download 1.72.181
http://www.sourceo2.com/O2_Developers/Devices/O2_Xda_II/Xda_update.htm
You will find the link to download 1.72.181...
http://64.244.24.19/xda/Xda_II_172181_Final.exe
Do you pick only one of the two, off to read PDF's.
Here are the answers from the PDF's...
181 will disconnect any connection when phone rings, except the Blackberry, Mobile Web and WAP connections. If you need to use a permanent GPRS connection that will remain connected when phone is used, you should use 187 version.
Also, there are additional apps available for download as well (same page).
1. KSE Truefax
2. Fonix Voice Dial
3. ZIP Manager
This is the GERman update, AFAIK...
Could anybody provide the username and password for www.SourceO2.com website for downloading this updates, please? Thank you.
Country Error? I had prviously the XDA-Devel. 1.72 installed
Any ideas how to fix this butg? OUch, just upgraded last week to the xda-develpers 1.72, and now want this new o2 one, ouch!

You can register a username for free on the O2 site, and get a password mailed to you. You will then be able to download the files.
Ha, cool! Thanks. I thought is dependent on using O2 device (check on IMEI)...
Hm... I'm registred, but my credentials are not working...
You can follow the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=63862#63862 to get the upgrade working. mine is at 38% updated and I should be done in about an hour or so.
The extra applications file is attached to this post for simplicity...

A release from O2Asia is expected. O2Asia usually follows about a week after O2UK, I think.
OK!
The above ROM has been released and I believe many users have already downloaded it.
Just to check whether:-
a) any problme faced during installation? Is the upgrading procedure straight forward?
b) any problem upgrading from WAXX ROM to this UK ROM?
c) any problme faced during upgrading from i-Mate v1.72 to this UK ROM?
d) other problems encountered?
Thanks for your feedback
ive downloaded both and tried had no problems so far try using file from here

yep tried em both. no real noticable difference to the unofficial 1.72 ive been using for months. Looks like its new device time as no hope of further updates - unless someone knows differntly....
I have upgraded, no problems.......everything works fine !!
:lol:
RE
Just one question.
Is this upgrade solely meant for UK users?
I'm from the asian side. I just can't wait for myxda to release its asian version.
Any problem with my asian telco operators here?
Thanks
I just upgraded my XDA II to the O2 UK 1.72.187 release. It all went well. I previously had installed the i-mate 1.72 ROM.
I had used Activesync to do a full backup prior to upgrading, and I restored it after the upgrade. After a couple of soft resets, everything seems OK, including the Widcomm bluetooth stack I previously had installed.
So, although early days yet, everything seems OK
Only downside - in my opinion
I was using the asian ROM version 1.60.44 for the longest time without any problems, I just upgraded to the UK ROM version 1.72.181 and the only downside I noticed, as of now, is that the clear type sucks, its just like the 1.72 of the i-Mate, of the 1.66 of the Asian O2. It was way better in the old ROM I was using.

Thanks DCS for the link. My ClearType is A OK again now
My pleasure
Just upgraded to the image with blackberry version on a CPW xdaII runing 1.66 - result good
1st I backed up with version 3.7.1 of active sync
then I hard reset
then I closed all the programs and icons in the system tray
First it failed with usb left on the screen.
I did a soft reset and re ran the upgrade program again and all is well.
I am now restoring the backup, haha which worked except for a few files which I skipped, these were the same files that were skipped on a normal restore.
Now my destinator satnav is working and that is tied to the machine so all in ace
what have I gained, I don't really known, looking forward to the fax though,
where is it?

Do you try ClearType Tuner in this ROM, the file is cttune.cpl.CAB
I think it's another way to correct the cleartype problem beside the dcs' way? Is it right?
is there anyone got problems like mine?I stuck with SMS, i did send one sms to my number and it takes 4 hour to delivery it and when i go to sent box i didnt see any sms that i have sent???? do you knows that and can you tell me how to fix it?
From Inbox check Tools/Options/Keep copy of sent mail in Sent folder
As for the four hour delay - I get that sometimes - I put it down to O2 network.
Hi folks,
I have an i-mate with the following specs:
ROM : 1.72.00WWE
Radio : 1.14.00
Protocol : 1337.24
Ext ROM : 1.72.800
After going through the numerous posts here, I am thoroughly confused. Can someone please clarify the following:
1. Is is better to upgrade to the new O2 ROM? If so which one, since I understand there are 2 versions.
2. If I do upgrade, there seems to be something called O2 active. Would this or any other settings hamper the usage of my phone since I live in India?
3. Can I have the procedure to do this upgrade?
My humble apologies if some of these questions have been answered before, but frankly, I am completely lost! :? Thanks a ton in advance.
Cheers!
Lakshman
Lakshman,
Will try to help you out once by compiling everthing from other threads:
1) There are 2 versions: (thanks to Nighthawk)
- v1.72.187 does not have Blackberry software built in. If you need to use a permanent GPRS connection that will remain connected when phone is used, you should use 187 version.
- v1.72.181 features Blackberry, will disconnect any connection when phone rings, except the Blackberry, Mobile Web and WAP connections. But so far haven't heard of any non UK O2 users able to use the Blackberry.
2) About 02 Active, i find it pretty but useless to non UK 02 users; therefore, once you upgraded your ROM it will prompt you for O2 Active Settings like Country, GPRS or GSM, just hit 'Cancel' and it won't install the GRPS or other network settings. You can still use the O2 Active but a lot of function will not be available for use in India. I removed mine.
3) Not too sure if your unit is CDL or O2 (info from HimaGetDeviceData.exe) but my upgrade was no issue at all; i just download from http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12515 and ran the upgrade. If you encounter country ID error, then you would have to refer to DCS's thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12101
Hope this helps.

You mean I canot use my GPRS after cancelling and what other network settings are you referring to?
Can you elaborate? Thanks

Hi Lazzy,
Thanks to your input, I went through the upgrade successfully. Many thanks to DCS for his excellent step-by-step guide to fix country id errors.
I am now facing a curious problem. I downloaded the Appsuite for XDA II provided in one of the forums here. When I try to install the utilities I get an error on my PPC saying could not install, "please upgrade your ROM and try again!" But I believe I have the latest ROM now. Could someone please advise. :?
Cheers!

Hi guys,
thanks for running an awsom website...
I just want some clarification on this thread.
So it is okay to upgrade an i-mate with an O2 Rom such as v1.72.181 and is this the best ROM for devices such as the I-mate currently?
Anyone? please answer my previous question as I really want to upgrade...
bump..
As for the os and radio you can use any 1.72 / 1.17 rom.
The differencen between al the roms is in the extended rom and thus just a matter of functionality you want : choose anyone you like and use dcs' guide to upgrade.
thanks man, I appreciate it.

My phone is crashing twice a day now with a basic out of the box install from o2 and it's the second phone I have had.
I want to try 'anything' to fix this as the phone is close to going in the bin.
Can someone tell me where to find a ROM upgrade and anything else I can apply to my XDAIIi?
Thanks loads

Have you tried running the phone as a corporate user instead of the O2 plus?
Hard reboot-choose corporate-enter 0506

Hi guys,
I don't know...why there is so much of fuss about 2i unnecessary.I hv been using it now for more than two weeks, asian ROM, in India with 512 SD, and all the popular programmes.Mine has never crashed for a singlre time, and for Asian ROM, there is no corporate mode also.
I hv also found the camera quality very very good... and I am really liking the phone...with Turbo mode and other things...
I don't know why there is lot of fuss people are speaking here thereby discouraging all to buy the one for themselves...
xda rom
i am not trying to discourage people using the xda....it's a great bit of kit WHEN IT WORKS!!!!
maybe your asian rom is newer better or whatever.
all i know is i have had two xda IIi and they both have the same fault.
no other software is loaded other than the base set of apps....and now even in corporate mode i have the same issue (though perhaps less...)
re: XDA IIi ROM
You can download the 'shipped' ROM 1.10.124 from O2's web site... http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_soft.html
:lol:
Connections plugin
Is there a file called "connections" in /windows/startup?
If so, move it somewhere else and reboot.
You'll lose the O2 logo from the top of the screen, if you can live with that.
