I've got the same phone and use WM6 LVSW with radio 1.38.00.10. This works great so far in the South of England.
If you're new to this stuff I'd suggest reading the Wiki lots before flashing to get feedback on the various Roms from people who use the phone in the same way as you. Besides, by by the time you finish reading the threads then Kyphurs 0.30 Rom could be out.
cheers guys, will give it a go this weekend, when i can concentrate on what im doing, dot want to get it all fubar'ed!

Qtek and T-mobile seem to have upgraded to 1.60 but I do not think that 2 has officially released something beyond 1.30. Does anyone know if there is a 1.60 rom for the xdaII?
Would it be ok for me to upgrade to the qtek 1.60.21 (would I loose the O2 warranty?)
Do I just run the ruu16021...exe from dangaard or is it more complex than that?
Thanx in advance.
i did the upgrade van t-mobile
I did the upgrade van t-mobile germany , which you can find on their website and its works fine, it is the same upgrade to the 1.60 as the one from t-mobile nl. i would stik to the dutch one, its perfect and in englisch
I had it on my machine, but re-upgraded to the german one, and no problems with country codes whatsoever
>Qtek and T-mobile seem to have upgraded to 1.60 but I do not think that O2 has officially released something beyond 1.30.
Are there ANY Upgrades from O2 at all ?!?
I haven't even found any information on O2-Germany's Pages!
Is myxda.com the right place to look for official Updates from O2-Germany ?
(Or is that a O2 UK Page ? Or a non-country specific Support Page?)
Can anyone enlighten me ? - I'm very annoyed by the extremely buggy Firmware that came with my XDA II Device...
Thanks in advance,
Gerald
Please be patient - there will definitely be an O2 UK ROM upgrade for Xda II, it is just that there are still some outstanding bugs to be resolved. Obviously this is no consolation given that other networks have released theirs, but c'est la vie!
where can i find the t-mobile netherland rom update for the mda 2 i look on t-mobile.nl but i can not find it any where. i am now using rom number 1.003 usa :?: :idea: :shock:

I have an XDA II from O2 and upgraded to 1.60.21 Dutch with a cooked 02 rom from Thariman. It works great, and haven't got a problem ever since. YOu can find the links into this forum. Anyways, as I can see you use Greek Vodafone, can you help me with the MMS settings as the guys in Vodafone seem confused?
Thks in advance.

I am waiting for the official O2 upgrade, since I am worried about loosing the warranty. :-/
Guys at GR Voda where less than helpfull when I asked them Anyway try this: http://www.ace-hellas.gr/qtek/ these are the Greek importers for the Qtek and have the settings on-line for all Greek networks, allthough MMS with vodafone do not always work...
It would also be helpfull if you checked the greek xda postings at www.myphone.gr
Thank you!

XDAII Bugs
Dear Tabbycat,
I noted your reply on this message thread on 23 Jan 2004 and being an O2 XDAII owner within warranty I wanted to wait for the official O2 ROM upgrade, after the testing is complete. I would be interested to know how the testing is going and whether you know if there is now a planned upgrade release date?
Also, today I posted a new message about bugs that I have spotted in my XDAII software. Are you aware of these bugs?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=5982&highlight=
Regards,
Rafil.
hi,
i spoke to O2-Uk today concerning the bugs i was having, and they said they would be rectified when the new upgrade is released on the 21st march 2004.
hope this help

Hi Everybody!
Just got this wonderful PPC from T-Mobile, I have now:
- ROM version 1.60.00WWE
- ROM date 12/03/03
- Radio version 1.10.00
- Protocol version 1337.18
- ExtROM version 1.60.36
I'd like to know if it is available any BETTER ROM (English or Italian) and what could be the differences with the one I already have.
For istance, what is the difference between i-MATE, T-Mobile, O2 and Qtek ROMS? Which one is the best?
I heard rumors about the ROM version 1.66 that was affected with several problems (battery life decreasing...?)
Of course I don't know how to COOK roms...but I can learn it!
to mdkia: I'm really impressed of your skill about these stuff, can you give me a little help pls? Grazie 1000 :wink:

how about adding some honey n sugar to ur xda2?it will definately b sweet...
the benefits are that it will b sweet like wat u wanted n will attract ants also...
which ROM is best for XDA2
before you do anything to upgrade your XDA2, you need to think anout your satisfaction with your XDA2 now.
If your device work well, you won't need to do anything.
because of ROM upgrade is risky your device please think before do anything.
In my suggestion, the best ROM is T-mobile 1.72. you can search in this forum to find topic about T-mobile 1.72.
think before do anything.
What about if you use 1.66.00 WWE and the damn thing crashes all the time? any reccommendations? A few people have been raving about the imate 1.72
My IMate 1.72 ROM is running okay. A few little problems, but nothing that a soft reset didn't cure.
I'm on the T-Mobile ROM...
ROM version: 1.60.00WWE
Radio version: 1.10.00
... with a customized ExtRom.
i-mate ROM 1.72 doesn't work with my GPS Software (Intellinav - Belkin Navigation System)... and it also has bad Cleartype. I-mate ROM 1.66 also has the Cleartype problem, and one of the cleartype fixes some one posted here gave me a hard reset. I-mate ROM 1.52 doesn't have the integrated applications as services advantage so there are less processes available on that ROM, which means you won't be able to run as many applications at once.
Personally, I think I'm going to stick to ROM 1.60 until some Second Edition ROMs start showing up.
Anyone got a 1.60 ROM that I can get? I found that much better than the 1.72 that I upgraded to, but I deleted it..
im on imate 1.72 never had a sd erase nor hard reset have to softreset every few days thats all works great with tomtom3 and BT gps
gaz
Finally I found time to publish my own cooked Extended Rom.
It is to be used together with the 1.72.601 QTek OS and Radio Roms
(do a search to find that upgrade).
Carefully read the Description.txt file on upgrade instructions.
I used the ExtRomUnlocker software because that keeps you from the flash-process which has a higher risk to mess up the device. Therefore I put together a RAR archive and not a NBF rom-image file.
I used this Extended Rom now for over 4 weeks without any trouble (for whats its worth to you . . .)
There is still one issue i am having with BT GPS and TomTom3: When TomTom cannot connect to the GPS (GPS off, BT off, GPS out of reach), it almost freezes the device. I work around this by simply not to try using TomTom without GPS connected.
Any clues on solving that are greatly appreciated.
Please post any remarks.

Is there a way to put that new iPaq PPCE for T-Mobile USA ROM/OS on my xdaII? -or is that a bad idea? -is it possible to get that ROM anywhere?
its a bad idea. This rom would make your XDA2 a piece of metal.
...ok, so if I'm on TMO USA will this 1.72 upgrade work fine for me? I've heard it's generally a bad idea to upgrade unless you're really unhappy...I'm on 1.60.00wwe & radio 1.10.00 -so how will I do better? I'm tempted just to wait til the SE is out...
The 1.72 OS & Radio rom will work fine for you.
See the other threads for the benefits, but they really come down to:
- improved BT
- improved battery life
My ExtRom can be of use too, but you will need to setup the T-Mobile USA specific settings (like GPRS, Voicemail, SMSC and maybe some more)
I have an MDA II, with the UK 1.72 Beta on it. Can I upgrade with this ROM, without any special configuration of the country id, or anything else. Or will this require some special changes to the .nbf, use of extended rom viewer, etc, etc.
I'm ok with upgrading a ROM, but I do not want to mess around with the device beyond that. Too many horro stories out there.
Ik heb een T-Mobile MDA II maar het is lang geleden dat ik heb geupgrade. Ik zit momenteel op 1.60WWE. Ik zie dat dit een extrom is, wat gaat er precies geupgrade worden? Zit er ook een nieuwere radio version bij of zijn het "enkel" o.a. de zaken die jij aangaf?
Enig idee wanneer SE uitkomt want ik ben al een paar maanden hier niet meer geweest
I have "SALAD ROM"
After modifying this ext. rom (except 'T-Mobile' setting), i have "Salad Rom' like this :
ROM version : 1.72.00WWE
date : 03/15/04
radio : 1.17.00
protocol : 1337.28
ext. rom : 1.72.900
before i was ext. rom 1.72.601qteq, 1.72.800imate, and now the latest version 1.72.900edsubsoft
and worked fine for me, untill SE out.

Re: I have "SALAD ROM"
If I decide to use this ROM when the Official T-mobile comes out am I going to have country ID error problem again like when you have upgraded from... I-mate to T-mobile ROM or vise-versa? Or it is just straight forward upgrade?
Thanks!

From the replies I think is about time to clear some things.
1. My archive is just the CONTENTS of a ExtRom that I put together. Benefits: All new versions & works together perfectly with 1.72qtek & contains customisations for T-Mobile Nl that I want.
2. Because its NOT an NBF, you DON'T have any country code issues on the ExtRom
3. For your device to work, you will at least need a 1.72 NON-Beta OS & Radio rom. I use the Qtek ones, but planning to upgrade radio to 1.17. Withe the OS & Radio you may entouter country code issues, but they can be solved via the instructions on this site. You will have country code issues when your device currently is not running a rom from the same distributor. ie: if your running an official T-Mobile rom you will encounter country code issues when using the 1.72 Qtek or iMate roms
Hope this helps . . .
Thanks for clarification...

Sorry for the extra question but that didn't clear things up for me...
Leaving the C-code error aside which seems solvable, are saying with my current rom & radio (posted above) I can just download your 1.72 and will have no issues?
CDTV, you first have to get the 1.72 rom upgrade (for use of os & radio) from Qtek or iMate.
AFTER you upgrade to that os & radio, THEN you can use my ExtRom.
OK, but Ihave an xdaII from o2 bought from expansus & unlocked using w/TMO...am I out of luck to get the update? is it really worth it? (batt life & BT a lot better performance?)
From where I can download this 1.72.900 version upgrade?
From where I can download this 1.72.900 version upgrade?
@heshamsch:
errrrrrrr in the first post of this thread?
remember its only the contents of the ExtRom, You need a 1.72 os & radio to get it to work properly
@CDTV:
I cant judge if you wil benefit noticably
I benefitted (especially BT, to be used without any extra tools now!)
Remember the ExtRom contains (more or less) Éxtra's and NL specific customisations
edsub a lil help man
i got the official 1.72 WWE rom installed and considered installing this extended rom,but i do not know where to put the files in order to install or the process....is there some program i use to install a walk through would be greatly appreciated,also is the radio better than 1.14.00?
Ext Rom Tmobile
Hi, your Ext rom suits fine, but.....I use KPN as my prvider and would rather not see the T mobile screen when its starting up. Is this easy to fix within the ext Rom and if so how can i change this.
Thx
Ferry
this should be do-able.
You need to change the images that reside in one of the cab's.
Use ce cabmanager to open those. You can try this s/w a number of times before you have to buy.
You cant just put any bitmap in.
Search this forum on 'splash image' how to create your own (KPN i suppose) image: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=3759&highlight=splash+image
