I Want to use KSE truefax on my xdaII but the web site says I need ROM 1.72.01 (Radio-version 1.17).
Mine is ROM 1.66.00 radio 1.08.00.
Im worried that if anything goes wrong with updating it I will end up with a worthless piece of plastic.
Is updating the rom safe?
Fax software
I had a similiar problem on my T-mobile MDA PRO.
KSE does not support the modem in the device yet, or WM 5.
Gave up trying to send, tried a few other trial versions of various s/w no joy.
Going to sell my MDA PRO after 6 weeks I find I can not do that much with it and magician /compact. Hope to raise 450 quid.
It is a large 3G brick crying out for applications and purpose.
Lucky for me T-mobile gave me MDA PRO free of charge to settle a dispute where they had made a big mistake.

Hi,
I'm successfully using an unlocked 02 XDA 32mb in South Africa. I see on www.myxda.com that 02 has a new software update out, offering many things such as faster GPRS. Sounds great, but what I want to know is, if I install this update, will I suddenly find myself with a locked phone again?
Secondly, does the GPRS baud rate setting make any difference at all?
Thanks,
Justin
No, unlocking using the Maniuplator uses the same mechanism you would have also used if you had been given the unlock code. Hence you will never be relocked by newer versions of the phone software.
Great.. now I can't get the software..
Hi,
That's great, but I tried to register on myxda.com and get the new software, but it won't accept my IMEI (Have double checked for typo's over and over again) - has anyone got the software for me?
Thanks!
Justin
Okay I found the updates on http://www.o2.co.uk/productsservices/xda/romupgradedownload/0,,170,00.html (ROM 3.14.13, RSU 4.16) but just browsing this site there appears to be so many different versions. Is this the latest/best version to use with my xda? It seems there are some bugs, and it may be better to stick with what I Have (ROM 3.02.00 ENG, RSU 4.01)

Be careful when you upgrade. Make sure it is
the right one or you might end up with a dead xda,
like lots of people who got the wrong upgrade.
It is better to upgrade from where the xda's supplier's web.
For example if you got a O2Xda from O2 Uk, you should
download the upgrade from there to be safe. ok?
ROM updates
My XDA is a Siemens SX%^ att&t can I use the O2 Rom Upgrades? Will I lose any functions? any knowledge? Thanks.
Steve
Jus, the upgrade on the O2 UK site is way better than your current 3.02 ROM. Definately upgrade, you will see big improvements.
Steve G, no your SX56 has different hardware to a UK xda. If you did run this upgrade it would screw it up. You need to speak to your supplier for upgrade software.
Dear Guys, i thought I might want to share these with all of you, just incase you are deciding to do something stupid...
In the place I worked, I help my company convert devices into chinese platforms so to serve our chinese customers better... and of course other languages as well..
What happen was that, I was doing upgrades till the versions of 1.60WWE on O2 xda ii, turning them into 1.52CHT which I downloaded from O2 myxda.com
Now, got an order yesterday, and so i provide this services for my customer again, upgrading the O2 to chinese.
Being so damn comfident, I double click on the CHT upgrade program, and then walk off for dinner. Guess what happen! I have a dead deviced, and the CHT program just shuts off before I could read the ERROR message.
Back to the company, try the INDIANA JONES trick(a name I thou of which descrides a technique, that one of the guys in these forums shared on how to recover from 1.72 T-Mobile to lower versions by using two devices)
And no it did not worked, then at this point I come to realize that the version numbers on this new XDA II are 1.66WWE.
I think what happen is that, the most i could get to was att he stage of erasing the ROMs and it keeps getting stuck at 0%.
As I am typing this message, I am trying to upgrade this dead O2 into a T-Mobile 1.72WWE. and then re-use the indie trick.
Cheers
Hi everyone,
Here is the email I have received from the O2 Pacific Asia in relation to the WM2003SE upgrade for XDA II:
Thank you for choosing O2!
With regards to your query below, O2 XDAII is using Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC, & the latest rom version available for upgrade is 1.60.00WWE. Currently, there is still no news the next coming upgrade.
*Windows Mobile 2003 for Pocket PC is the Only licensed copy which O2 XDAII will have, O2 will not support Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition in XDAII.
The latest rom upgrade for O2 XDAII, you could login at www.myxda.com with your username & password & click on 'Get the latest software for your device.'
In any case where the XDAII was upgraded to other 'rom' versions. The warranty of the phone will be void.
All future release of new models of O2 phones' details will be made available for viewing on the main page of www.myxda.com , please kindly refer to it for future updates. Thank you.
Warmest Regards,
Willy Ho (Mr)

Even this would be what I excepted, I still feel a bit sad about what O2 decided to do. Hopefully they will change their mind later!
I think it's kinda template answer for anyone who asks for 2K3SE.
Let's wait and see i guess, Asia Pacific normally don't have more details then the one elsewhere.
I agree that this is just a "standard" answer from O2. However, it may be true as well. As I said, hopefully they will change their mind later. By the way, I spoke to imate customer service and they said that the WM2003 SE upgrade should be avaliable by the end of the year. Hopefully they will do it coz upgrading from XDA II to XDA IIi/s....to me it doesn't worth to do it.
Tekguru has alreday hinted strongly that WM2003SE will indeed be released for current owners. An updated ROM is also around the corner.
i have the XDA2s which IIRC has less memory than the XDA2i (which most people seem to have)
Will it still handle Windows 2005? I have WM SE2 at the moment and the o2 software is always crashing it. i accidently did a hard reset the other day which was very annoying.
Was thinking of doing the upgrade to get rid of the o2 software. Will all the o2 stuff still work ok? I'm only about 6 months into the contract.
hi all is there any hardware difference between ameo and u 1000.
coz i heard that theres a micro drive issue in the ameo
No, originally people had issues with some of the Microdrives in the U1000, but that has all been sorted now. I think it was software related, but there is no difference in hardware between the two devices.
HTH

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
it's a easy decision for you, if you only want the silver one, go for Ameo, since it's cheaper (on ebay maybe) or just sign up a contract with T-mobile, now some thing you will need to know, All three machine (HTC Advantage, T-mobile Ameo, DOPOD U1000) has Microdrive issue, it's to do with their ROM, you are more likely to find it on Advantage compare to DOPOD U1000 OR Ameo, Actually, DOPOD U1000 is even less likely to happen compare to Ameo due to it's recent ROM update.
If you are not T-mobile customer and will be using other sim card, then you need to consider the sum unlock issue, you can get it done by paying some money.
If you are new to PDA and don't know what CID lock is, and you would want to update your ROM frequently, then t-mobile might not be such a good chose, they don't provide that must support on upgrade and currently there are no promise on WM6 update too.
So really, you should ask yourself these question, are you going to use it with other sim card other then T-mobile (other country)? will you want to upgrade to latest ROM (wm6) without breaking the warranty?
Good luck with your decision, after all, you are about to purchase a wonderful device.
Thanks wu
i am going to use another sim and its unlocked and without warranty
i think pof or asukal or gurus like u might find out how 2 unlock cid
i will go for ameo then
thanks a lot buddy
