Upgrading xda2: advice please - MDA II, XDA II, 2060 ROM Development

I have upgraded my xda to the last rom update released by o2...it froze the xda, so that it wouldnt go any further than the splash screen showing the radio version, i have managed to down grade to the previous rom update. I would like to update the xda to the most recent rom, can any one recommend where i can get i from, and will it run Tom tom 5 without problems.
Looking for advice and recommendation. is it worth upgrading to wm2005 if it is where can i get it without using o2's upgrade.

I have a very critical problem in my xda

this is the second time in 3 days my xda stop and slowly responding and restart by itself every 10 mins and the light flash for one second every 10 seconds and this problem is solved when i did hard reset but this solution is not good,,,
my ver is: 3.16.52 ENG
and the radio is : 4.21.00
so please any one help me and tell me what can i do with my xda????
Hi !
I have this problem so.
Anybody tell the answer ?
Hi, Mine does this also, lasts from 4 - 6 weeks then dies in this way. I keep a updateed SD bk up on sd card for quick restore if on the road. apps/data also on sd.
I dont know why this is tho, Im in a team of 4 each having a xda and mine is the only one that does this.
It also struggles with getting GPRS too.

Hi guys,
I 'm not sure, but seems that all of you are suffering this problem by having Radio 4.21, and up to my information this was aimed only for O2 users. I have Qtek 1010 but still on 3.18 and it's working so good.
Did you make this RUU upgrade your self ?? and did this problem start after the upgrade ??
From reading through this forum, you may have to either down grade the radio part (to 3.19 for example), or upgrade the Win to WM2003.
yes I did the upgrade by myself and also my friend did that and his device is working good...
Yes ... I didn't say this would be a failure in all cases, but it's recommended to use a "trustworthy" combination of ROM and Radio versions as each providor may make some tweaks in the radio stack to make optimized with the network
My xda has this prob on a old version, updated via o2 direct to latest version, but it still pops up aftr around 4-6 weeks.
Try using O2 version 3.17, this is the latest one released to the General Public.
We currently have version 3.21 here which has just been sent to us by O2. Will let you guys now whats the story with that it.
Mike
3.17 is designed to work with 4.21 Radio Stack
been running 3.17 now 4 3 weeks, sofar ok.
Will upgradings to the next version change my 'device code' as used for Tom Tom? or is that originating from imie number?
neil
Michael_sabry,
Upgrading the Radio Stack will NOT change the device code. The device code is factory programmed in the device (NOT ROM). I have gone from 3.16 to 3.17 to 3.17.x1 without any problems.
Just a note for about this post, HTC only use approx 100 device codes. We bought a batch of 700 direct from O2 and well over 3/4's of them had the same device code. Nice one saved us ££££'s on TomTom 2.0

UK ROM v1.72.187 - Anyone tried it?

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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12512
I will upgrade later tonight, and hopefully report back tomorrow
RE
Hi Hobbit!
What file and where's the link? :roll:
BTW, is the performance better than the WAXX ROM and the i-Mate v1.72 ROM?
Thanks
this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12512
sorry was in different forum lol
I've uploaded ROMs here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12528
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?
Simon
Additional download.
You will find it in the Fax software in the XDAIIAppSuite uploaded by The Hobbit in his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12526

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.

XDA II Upgrade

Hi everyone,
I'm new to this forum and would like to thank everyone who has been working on the WM2003SE upgrade. I'd also like to share my experience of using the new ROM.
I used the 2.02 OS and Radio upgrade only. The upgrade process was very simple. I didn't have to change the country code or anything, thankfully. Screen rotation works a treat apart from a few minor niggles with the camera (but I can always rotate the screen back to regular orientation to get round this).
I completely recommend the 2.02 ROM, and agree that this is a very stable and fast release!
I used 2.06 and the only problem that I have was when I restar the PPC, first time it blocks and i have to restar it 2 times to work.
where can this rom update be downloaded from, it is obviously different from the rom update that is available on O2's website

What should I do.. please read =] upgrade or not?.........

atm my xdaII o2 is dead, it is getting sent in for repair soon, and it was sent in before, they said my mobo was dead, because i tried to upgrade to 2005 (off the O2 website) (i think, not sure, done too much to remember)
they tell me the XDAII does not work with WM2005, so i will be either getting 2003 or 2003se instead. I dearly want to upgrade to wm2005 for more features, but dont want to risk my XDA dying again. should i try to upgrade again, or not? (first my GSM died then my operating system hung at O2 splash screen, eventually rendered my entire ppc useless)
are there any specific ROMS to look for and/ or any specific pitfalls to lookout for, or should i just do without updating and just deal with WM2003?
thankyou all in advance!
ps. if they just upgrade me to wm2003se is that close enough to wm2005 or, is there much difference?
thanks
the wm2005 ppl can get on himalaya is a leaked BETA version it's not the finished version
i doubt you found it on o2's site
since the last official himalaya version released in english is 2003 version 1.7X
many ppl run the beta 2005 and the manualy translated unofficial english 2003SE
buzzdev.net
for 2005 beta
hey, thanks for the reply, it straightened out a lot for me
now, does anyone know if 2005 is being released at all on XDA II?
or is there 2003SE available for official download?
thanks again
Imate have officialy state long agoe that no device which were not sold with 2005 will have it released later on
non of the others that i heard of stated anything other then some stating that no new rom updates would be made for older devices at all
the only official version of 2003SE there is in chinese
and have been altered by ppl on this site to be translated to english
thanks so much for the information, rudegar, you walking library you :
thankyouthankyouthankyou!
