rgds,

Help..new type of problem on upgrading Mini.

Please help me...am newbie here..
I've O2Mini and I want to upgrade the rom into 1.11 (official one).
Upgrading process just as mention on their official site.
the problem is that the upgrade always stuck on stage 2 (30%) and then the installer shows error and close.
I've tried to download the installer but it still occured on the same spot (30% stage 2). I've tried different rom from our ftp (the 1.12 rom for O2). but the problem still occured on the same spot (30% stage 2).
now, my mini became usable since there were no rom inside it.
Can somebody give me clue on what's going on my mini?
what is the problem? (I've already use official rom)
what should I do...I want to use my mini again

Hmm... weird case...
however i have some suggestion:
- try to flash using other computer (dont use yours)
- if still can't flash, try other ROM besides O2, perhaps from T-mobile.
Hope this helps.
cheers

thank you for your suggestion.
i've tried from another computer...the method didn't work.
I'll try to upgrade with another ROM from other brand, can you give me suggestion/recommendation, which ROM I should try?

Did you fix the problem? I always stuck on 24%...

Any XDAII WM5 for Asia?

As I am using XDAII for 2003se which is 2.0600WWE downloaded in this forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=16880). The radio is 1.18 and the bootloader is 1.01. As I can upgrade my rom from 2003 to 2003se without any problem, I would like to upgrade it to WM5 in these few days.
However, I face some problems in my updating.
I have try XDA_WM2k5_2.01a64WWE, XDA_WM2k5_2.01a00WWE, however, I cannot search the phone network after upgrade rom. As I have read some posts before, I know that there may be my radio's problem, so I upgrade my radio also. I have try 1.17, 1.18, 1.08 with these rom. Unlucky, it also cannot search phone network.
So. for the only solution is get back 2003se with "Asia O2 Xda II WM 2003 SE Upgrade" in this forum. I can get my network back.
As the result, I would like to ask that what problem am I facing and what can I do? Is it the problem of bootloader ? or the problem of radio?
And also, there have "Asia upgrade" for WM5? It helps me a lot and I need not to afraid the networking problem.
Please help me. .

location?

you're lucky you can install that file to your XDA2. Mine can't I donno why. Activesync kept on disappearing. Although upgrading to 2003se is not a problem.

waht edition of active sync do you have? to get wm2005 to work it has to be active sync 4.0 or higher and for the newer roms you have to have AS 4.2 or equivalent beta versions

I come from Hong Kong
I am using 4.2 for sync

I'm currently using AS 4.2. The problem is that I couldn't install WM2005 2.01 64 to my himalaya. Once I double click on the installer, AS disappears and an error screen will come out after 10 mins. I also tried installing WM 3.0 but still the same result. I really wanted to try using WM2005 on my himalaya. could you guys help me?

you did not read thoroughly...
AS disappear normally...
are you using the hima no id dot exe?
visit the wiki :roll:

Jojo,
I tried installing the following files that I downloaded through this website:
HIM_3.00a.32_WM5_AKU_3_CLEAN
XDA_WM2k5_2.01a64WWE
WM2k5 3.00a64wwe
I understand that AS will disappear the same way as it does when I installed SE. However, what puzzles me is that all of these installers will inform me that there is an error and I could not proceed further with the installation. I even have to restart my laptop because AS couldn't communicate with my himalaya after my attempted installation.
Sorry I'm not well versed with computer language/jargons that's why I could not understand the readme file. I would really appreciate it if you could guide me. Thanks.

at last installed it! I have to re install though. I restored some of my data and it crashed on me.

guys,
I've installed Globe_all.cab to my Himalaya but I still couldn't email or send mms. could somebody help me out please?

CAn anyone tell me that , any version of WM5 is fit to Hong Kong User.

Best stable ROM for my model

Two questions:
1. How do I tell what generation my Prophet is? I see a lot of references to G3 and G4 but no information on how to work this out.
2. I currently have the latest i-mate JAMin rom, which is AKU2.0. Is there is a stable AKU2.3 ROM people have been using or is this still "experimental" It's hard to work this out from the threads.
Thanks all.

1: during bootup, 2nd screen find
SPL
2.xx.0001 = g4
2.xx.0000 = g3
2: aku 2.3 seems very stable. Everything works as expected. i've only installed one version, after reading this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/sho...ht=16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe
it's the 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe from this sites' ftp. It has been much more stable and responsive (due to the larger cache) then the preinstalled AKU2.0 on my qtek s200. Boot time is shortened by about 20s.
Before you install this you HAVE to unlock the CID:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Upgrades
i didn't do this first time, and had to find a valid qtek rom that would install, since my device didn't bootup anymore..

Thanks for that. A question about unlocking the CID:
On the Prophet upgrade page you link to, it has the warning (3 times, in bold!): *WARNING!!!!! DO NOT PERFORM THIS IF YOUR PROPHET HAS THIS ROM "SPL 2.xx.0001" (New G4 Version)
Don't all G4's have that ROM? Mine does (2.13.0001). So where does that leave us for unlocking?
Thanks again.

Im also running a JAMin with the latest official rom and ive seen some good things about the 2.3 updates but im new to the whole cooked roms thing but ill figure it out.
What would I loose by upgrading from my JAMin rom and what would I gain?
Can I go back to my jamin rom if I dont like it?

I have installed the latest DOPOD ROM and I run it native without any soft installed and I reboot only about 1 a month!

To partially answer my own question: The CID unlock process looks like it IS for G3s only. To upgrade G4s you use pdocwrite.exe.
I've seen the details for using pdocwrite to install the pdamobiz ROM, but has anyone used it to install the 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe?
Cheers

I'm guessing you'd loose some of the vendor customisations - which really are only some useless themes and the network provider settings - which for me just means setting up GPRS. Of course, you also risk loosing your JAMin entirely if you stuff it up
What you gain is a more up-to-date OS which is faster...

what about the extended rom? all the custom stuff is in there, i can access it no probs but would that remain with the rom mentioned above?
would I still be able to run them (if I back them up)

just been researching this rom, looks like it defaults overclocks your device and installs a ton and I mean a ton of apps that most people dont want.
Be warned, its heavily customized and may not be to everyones liking.
Anyone know if I do upgrade to this and unlock my CID if I can then re-apply the official JAMin rom?

To anyone reading this, here is my experience as of last night.
On my G4 I tried installing 16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe after first hard-resetting my device. The installer went ahead fine, but it would not start-up: it would not get past the boot loader screen. So I reinstalled the latest i-mate ROM, booted up, then proceeded to try: ftp://xda:[email protected]/2006-10-05_Upgrade ROM_AKU2.3_lvsw.rar.
This uses the PDAmobiz method to upgrade a G4 which is essentially running a batch file while it unlocks and writes to the ExtRom and the ROM - then doing a hard reset, but it is not the PDAmobiz ROM.
This worked fine, and I now have AKU2.3. Even better, it is not customised, so there's no extra software installed, which I'm happy about. It's been running over night and seems very stable so far. I'm not sure what the paging size is on the ROM, maybe it's smaller = more stability.
So that's my experience!

My experience:
My JAMin running IPL/SPL 2.13.0001 using that rar file that worked for you...
hung on the copy of the OS to the device.
Trying now to recover it by downloading and trying to install latest JAMin update.
I cant get activesync / network connection using USB to phone... Don't know if that will be a problem trying to recover. Its sitting at the 3 colour screen atm.
Is there a way for me to update to IPL/SPL 2.15.0001 from 2.13.0001 before trying again? (assuming my phone is not already dead).

If your phone is G4, you should be able to install the vendor ROM no problem - which is magical really. You don't need ActiveSync running; well - it won't connect as the device is dead .
When you say it hung copying the file... it took a good 15-20 minutes to copy across for me, so I hope you weren't just being impatient.

yeah the JAMin rom worked so I'm back where I began.
I did wait 30 mins and it had crashed.... activesync wasnt doing anything, buttons / screen taps weren't working on pda.
Is it because I am running 2.13.0001 is my worry? The update specifies its for 2.15.0001. Is there any way I can update to 2.15.0001 from 2.13.0001 before trying again?
Cheers.

Tried the update again, and this time it worked.
Device is running AKU2.3 now, but still says 2.13.0001 for ipl and spl on boot.
Any ideas anyone on how I can update that to 2.15.0001? and what kind of change that makes anyway?
Thanks all.

you have been researching a different rom. this one does certainly NOT overclock the device by default. And it's a clean install, without any overhead, but WITH the stereo bluetooth headset support. perfect for my uses.

looks like i was looking at another rom, one loaded with junk.
I took the plunge and updated my jamin to the 16mb 4pda rom and im now back on the official jamin, it was way too unstable. Today I rebooted 5 times.
The volume is too low on headset and loud speaker
and some other annoyances.
I need stability

when i'm using AKU2.3,
in Settings / Regional Settings:
there is no "Turkey" option (also Russian).
how can i do that, is there a patch for apply these regions ?
thats why i'm using latest official jamin rom now (wwe) (from clubimate.com)

Ive found the source of instability with the 4PDA rom. Its the radio rom 02.30.21
I went back to my old ROM on my jamin and all was fine, a day without crash, Then loaded on radio rom 02.30.21, hardreset for good measure and setup again,. same as always.
Then, every hour or so im resetting.
Back to official jamin rom and all is fine again.
Radio ROM 02.30.21 is just totally unstable. Ideally I would like the AKU2.3 updated rom but without this awful radio rom they seem to be putting in them all.

No ROM usable ??, hang on Opera9 customization process

I would need some help to understand the following :
whatever ROM i try to install, after successfull flash and the following reboot when you get the "customization will start in 3 sec", it always hang on the "Installing WM6_PPC_HTC_Opera9_WWE.CAB" (last time i wait 5h to see if it move)
i tried RomeOS1.01 as well as 1.02 (just a few minutes ago), same also happen with DCS-TouchProv13 or even when i try to revert to RUU_raphaelWWE1.66...
i have a successfull HardSPL1.90.1.3 Olinex properly showing up on the 3 color screen.
Soft reset allow me to use the phone with a somehow successfull install ? (i get some of the appz but not sure it is 100% successfull / how can i check??)
Only concern is that the phone get warm around the camera/speaker after a few hours of usage and battery doesnt sound very powerfull (full load stay on about 5 to 6h with no bluetooth but wifi on)
original is an XDA diamond pro from o2 germany (model RAPH120)
as of right now i have
ROM: ROMeOSv1.02 WWE
Radio: 1.02.25.11
Protocol 52.33.25.17u
Any idea why the custom... always hang on the Opera install ? i dont care to not use opera or dl and install it myself afterward ??

GERMAN ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426400

German ROM work fine
Guess what .... after flashing back to a german ROM (thks for the link to an htc oiginal ) the "customization" with Opera9_DE went well and finish up normally.
i am going to work/play a bit with the German version to make sure it does not come from the device
any other idea in how/why my German o2 xda does not love all the great simple ROM cooked here ??
is any o2 Germany user here havig successfully flashed their xda with an English (or French ) ROM ??
Thanks guys for the great work you do here !
Steph.

I am seeing this exact same issue.
I have had no end of grief flashing my Raph, I maintain an XP VM (I am on OS X) entirely for flashing. I have flashed many different devices with dozens of ROMs and never had a problem until I got the Raphael. I have seen BSOD's and numerous connection issues while flashing using both Raphael_CustomRUU_v1.2 and RaphaelWrapper.
Also, every ROM I have flashed (on a XP SP3 box I put together from old pieces just to flash this bastard) has hung whilst installing opera.
I am using the o2 uk variant (as yet unreleased XDA Serra).
It is a RAPH120, is this unique to o2 devices?
Would appriciate any help getting this sorted, it could become a more widespread problem with the o2 uk variant is released, as there may be an influx people wondering why their device wont flash properly.
nb. I have an unreleased o2 built ROM (RUU_Raphael_O2_UK_1.60.206.1_radio_sign_52.29.25.12_1.01.25.16_Test.exe) that flashes and installs fine even from inside my VM.
Thanks in advance for any help anyone could provide!
[UPDATE] I tried installing Opera build 1957 from a cab and it worked fine.

maybe a dumb suggestion... but try to get your device unlocked and see what happen

I checked with Oli about whether unlocking would help:
Olipro said:
I see, then that's a weird issue, however, not related or fixable by the unlocker.
your best bet is to do a soft reset as soon as the customization dialog appears and see what happens.
I was initially suspecting it could be region protection, but in those cases, the ROM doesn't boot at all, so your case is a strange one.

So no leads there, as an interim solution I will repack ROMeOS² v1.03 without Opera and see how that works out.

i have the same device and the same problem. I will try to repack it with the german version of opera..

Oh dear, so it would appear that current roms do not work on O2 variant devices...
Has anyone successfully flashed an O2 device (with a cooked rom)?
I have hit some problems repacking ROMeOS² as hung has included measures to stop people making their own roms based on his. I pm'd him last night asking if he could help us out, but as of yet I have not recieved a reply.
I will probably start making my own rom from scratch tonight, but its a fair bit of work just to take opera out of the customization sequence. Hopefully its just some odd bug in the opera install, rather than something more serious. I guess worst case scenario is that after opera is removed it just crashes at another point during the costomization process.
[UPDATE]

Excellent, so at least we have a workaround in the pipeline. Still, it would be best to find the cause of the problem, as not all cooks have the time and dedication to make special versions of their roms for a small sub-set of users.

Actually Opera is included but with no device specific & v1.04 is done

Hi Stephane and others having similar trouble,
I had the same situation but my original ROM was Japanese, after trying a lot of possible official WWE versions for flashing and cooked ROMs, only one version worked.. Check the official WWE version Singtel.. it worked up to customization without problem.. the only difference the default internet page is Singtel but it is not a problem cause I can still go to the other sites..
