xda atom life question - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading

Hi everybody. I'm just wondering. my father recently bought a xda atom life in hong kong and the rom was chinese. then he said that he let it change into an english rom. if i do a hard reset with the unit, what would happen to the rom? would it change back to chinese or would it stay as english?
many thanks in advance.

Duxz, no worries. Most of the software were writen prior to SE, so it's just a warning. Of course some of the software doesn't run well on SE. I have a friend on the IIs and it doesn't run Battery Pro 1.1 well (makes his IIs unstable). For me it works fine ... no prob (still keeping my fingers crossed).
hey alvin, guess wat.... i think i screwed my whole xda up big time this time round...lol. Sending it over to the service center in sunway in da morning for them to load it up with the original rom... but will try to install the wm2003se again once i get it back... :twisted:
i think the service center is gonna see me pretty often.... muahahahaha.
ok malaysian xda2 users..... i just got my unit back from the service center in sunway, PJ. Things are ok now... back to the stock rom. Those guys there are pretty professional in wat they are doing... and bad statements said about o2 centers are not tat true after all.
For those who wanna fool around with the roms till it get screwed, have fun with it coz it only cost RM35 to get it back running again

Hi Duxz, I'm not sure how you could screw your XDAII dead, because there was 1 time my XDA II got disconected in the middle of an upgrade, but I managed to salvage it using the procedure highlighted in this tread ... my advise .. save the RM35.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=13651
I just upgraded my O2 XDA II to WM2003 SE using XdA2JoJo.v3.2zS.exe. Also changed the AutoConfig and add in the thing for Maxis. So far so good.
I give up with the WM2003 SE. Just revert back to the original one. Basically the XdA2JoJo.v3.2zS.exe just a bit too slow...
duxz, i'm having the same experience as you are. bring my xdaii to SC at Berjaya Times Square to flash the rom with ori OS. what an experience huh. i feel very cold that time, so as my xdaii. now my xda back to normal and i dont want to try that anymore, since i dont hv fren using the same device. now i couldnt get my cradle to work as usual. at first, no problem. can do sync and charge with cradle, but now, only charging, cannot sync. my windows cannot recognise the cradle anymore. try to update driver but fail. now i sync with IR. i want to use my xdaii as usb modem now but must get the cradle to work first. found forum on modifying the pin, and still afraid on doing any mod. is it because of the pin on my cradle is shorted or is it because my usb is not 2.0?
HAHA, I reflash it back by myself. But then, now I got use to flashing the OS, I'm testing the various WM2003 SE now...
hi everyone, i suggest to whoever who wants to play around with their device, read the post carefully. because what ever you are trying to do, i'm confident someone out there has already done it.
i flashed my device recently.. thank god its ok.
cheers
can you tell us how did you do that reflashing? others (at other forum) need 2 devices, put on cradle the ok one till update program asking to start the update process, then swap with dead one. yet to find friend with xdaii at the moment
maybe you could borrow eric's xda. ehehe
I downloaded this from O2 official website sometime ago. This will flash your O2 back to the O2 Official OS.
I'm now using WM2003 SE with XdA2JoJo.v3.2zS.exe. So far so good, except that I have some issue with the Bluetooth Handfree.
guys i would like to know after the upgrade of ur xda2 to windows SE can it detect spectec sd wifi????

O2 update

Anyone noticed that O2 uk are now doing a wm2003se update for the xda II?
And they have taken the words, 'this is the final release' away, meaning they could be bringing an official WM2005! :lol:
Do you have a link for this?
sure http://www.my-xda.com/xda2_soft.html.
There you go.
I think its the right one, it does say 'Incorporates end user update 2 from Microsoft'
HTH

Unless O2 have said there will be an update - then there isn't going to be one. Sell your Xda and buy a WM5 if it's that critical for you

woops...sorry
my mistake.
But didnt they say that the last update would be the final relase?? ~Then they release this.
Why sell the XDA II, currently it is one of the better options, will upgrade to IIi later but for now im sticking with it.
also 1.72.181 is not 2003SE
It is odd you say that, because here http://web.o2.ie/business/phones_and_devices/xda/software_upgrade_xda2.jsp it is the exact same number but clearly says 'Pocket PC 2003 2nd edition from Microsoft'
So i assume it is in fact 2003SE
Or O2 has just not got it together

Hate to disappoint you mate, but at the top of this page it mentions the version 1.72.187 - which is 2003, not 2003SE. Just the same ol' that O2 UK has (albeit with more authentications).
My opinion is: the WM 2003 SE upgrade (2.06.00 WWE I found on buzzdev.net) - even if slightly buggy was the best that could happen to my O2 XDA II - it enabled AA Navigator which refused to work on standard WM2003.
I tried WM2005 and I went back to WM2003SE - my SatNav solution failed to work on it. Plus the most important thing is, the XDA II has 128 MB RAM and only 14.5 ROM (can be increased) - this is not a device made with Windows Mobile 2005 in mind (whose paradigm is to put Storage data into Flash ROM and Program into RAM). It's like an attempt to put male clothes on a busty girl - they just don't fit and poor gal will suffer.

Guess there´s something wrong with the phone, i have an hp 6815, that´s from the same manufacturer and similar hardware and in long term i think it´s a crapy phone. My battery only last a day and it´s also new.
Try put small piece of paper on bottom part of the battery to push it up to the connector. My phone previously also drain batt very fast and the service guy at O2 do that to solve it.
