I have an O2 xda2 which was given to me by a friend. I have unlocked it using software found elsewhere on this site to be sim free, and now using an Orange sim.
I still have O2 branding all over the place. Is there a way to change this to Orange? I still have all the O2 software/menus and even the network symbol at the top of the screen says O2 even though it's orange.
I have been told that I can flash the ROM to be Orange, but as a complete newbie to this I need help on how to do it, and where to get the revelevant software etc.

Hi everyone, I got an XDA II (bought from UK) with the foll specs:
ROM version: 1.60.00WWE
ROM Date: 12/03/03
Radio Version: 1.06.01
Protocol verison: 1337.16
ExtROM version: 1.60.21
I've downloaded the latest upgrade from 02, but when I try to install it the following message appears:
'ERROR 120: COUNTRY ID ERROR' N-5-1-1-1
The ROm image that you are trying to use is not designed to work with your pocket PC.'
Any ideas on how to fix that?
Thank you in advance
extrom v. 1.60.21 ...are you sure you are using the o2 rom now? isn't this a tmobile one?
I guess that's the reason why the O2 update does not play.
Change the header of your update to TMOBILE and it will work.
You can alos donwgrade to a 1.03 TMOBILE ROM and then upgrade to the
new O2 ROM.
Check the forum, this error is know and described several times

I'm new to this so please be gentle with me.
I bought a O2 XDA II so that I could unlock it to use on T-Mobile.
I tried using the XDA Unlocker and but the program says that the XDA is already unlocked. However when I put me T-Mobile sim into it, I get a SIMLOCK message which tells me to enter the unlock code.
PLEASE HELP.
YOUR HELP IS GREATLY APPRECIATED>

Oops i originally posted this in the wrong forum
Greetings, its been a while since I posted on here. Having been a long time user of the XDA & XDA II i've got a newly discovered problem with the SIM unlock
Had the XDA II on a years contract with O2, it expired in january i didn't renew with them as i found the whole O2 as a service provider thing rather crap.
I've just been using my XDA II as a GPS for the past couple of months, however i've now got a new SIM from https://www.easymobile.com/
the XDA II is the latest official version that came from O2
ROM Version: 1.72.00WWE
ROM Date: 03/15/04
Radio Version: 1.17.00
Protocol Version: 1337.28
ExtROM version: 1.72.181
I've downloaded and tried the xda2unlock.exe program
However it keeps telling me that the unit is unlocked
Serial v1.01
i get the message 'phone seems unlocked already!'
Any ideas whats going wrong here?
A clear case of RTFM

I have an XDAII, Model PH10B, Rom Ver 1.66.00WWE, Date 02/20/04, Radio 1.08.00. I have looked for ROM updates on the OS site, the message it seems is that overseas upgrade exist, but none for Australia. Can someone please advise.
you dont need a special aussi rom
you can use any rom
ROM Upgrade For Aust
Yep I'm looking too . Have been doing research for the last 2 hours and it seems the one we need is 1.72.187. I can't find it yet but will keep looking. Some Guys have done changes to 1.72.181 but the 187 seems top be the best one to load without problems. If we can find one that's been modified to remove the UK O2 symbol from the start bar and some of the UK Active stuff then we'll be set. Let me know if you find it before me.
New Zealand Settings
My i-mate is using the following, since it is the same model, all that might differ is the service provider settings.
Rom : 1.72.00WWE
Rom date : 03/15/04
Radio : 1.14.00
ExtRom : 1.72.861
Flash chip type : 28F128K3
Model No. : PH10B
These settings are factory, I have not yet flashed the device.
I'm in the process of downgrading my UK T-Mobile MDA Vario2 from schaps 3.57/Radio1.50/HardSPL2.10/etc, for warranty purposes.
With the help of this thread and this guide, I'm back to WM5, SPL 1.04, IPL 1.00:
ROM 1.21.110.3 (01/17/07)
Radio 1.50.00.00
Protocol: 32.83.7020.20H
Obviously I need to downgrade the Radio, but I'm not sure what to. 1.03 rings a bell (although I tried it and got a country-code error). Apart from the Radio, is there anything else I'm missing. Are those SPL/IPL correspond to shipping versions?
If anyone can confirm UK T-Mobile factory version numbers before I send this handset back for repair I'd be very grateful!
Many thanks

OK, I see that Radio 1.05 seems to be the TMUK offering....

You can also check the wiki for shipped ROMs. TMUK may well be there.
