O2 registration

Hi guys,
I have problems registering my O2 XDA mini so i was unable to download O2 plus for my device. It seems that the IMEI is not recognized by O2.
I bought this from a friend and he told me that this was given to him as a gift by his relative that lives outside our country (The box and manual are in German.). He hasn't use this because he already have an O2 XDA IIi so he decided to sell it.
Questions:
1.) Is it really necessary to register my device?
2.) Is there any other alternative site where i can download any updates?
Any advise will be highly appreciated. Thanks and have a nice day.

sorry for the question (I'm a newbie).
any ideas?
Thanks..

Converting an MDA Compact to XDA Mini

Hi folks,
A friend of mine is buying my old T-Mobile MDA Compact off me, he's on O2 PAYG and I'm looking to convert the phone to be as much like the O2 XDA equivelant as posible to avoid network issues.
Firstly, What is the O2 XDA equivelant of the MDA Compact officially known as? I've heard it's the XDA mini, but not sure.
1. Can I install/use an O2 XDA mini ROM (or updated one) to setup the phone for use on O2? I'm assuming the ROM is the only software differance between an XDA mini and MDA Compact.
2. Will this also change the radio stack, allowing the phone to accept an O2 sim card or will i need to apply a seperate unclock tool?
Where can I find O2 XDA mini ROMs? and if needed an unlock tool?
I'm hoping its as simple as just installing an O2 ROM but I'm preparing myself for the worst.
Any help and advice gratly appreciated,
Mike

Mike,
I actually did this about 6 months ago before I left the UK.
My MDA Compact was working fine on an O2 PAYG SIM card with the original T-mobile ROM on the device (I tried it also with the upgrades that were available on the website, though I don't think there are any left online now). All I did was unlock the device to allow it to accept the O2 SIM card.
I got a little bored of looking at the T-mobile bits of the ROM after a while, so I changed the ROM to the generic HTC version. This also worked fine, as it is designed to be universally compatable anyways.
I don't have the file anymore, but the unlock program I used I got off the XDA Developers drive, and I think that it was called xdadev.unlock, though I am not sure.
Hope this helps.
Be sure you are confident in what you are doing before you attempt any of the above, becqause there may be compications in any of the suggestions that I have made.

Ask nicely

Hi guys!
I was looking around to get the code to unlock a pda M600 or the Qtek S200. I found a hardware that I needed to download, then install and check the no. I would obtain from it. I decided to contact customer services from the company that issued the pda. I got a code from them for free and it worked. I didn´t pay a peny for it. So some times, it´s worth to try to ask for it. Be persuasive and you will get whatever you want.

A nice tip is when asking your carrier for an unlock code say that you will be going abroad for a busniess trip or vacation and you want to be able to use a PAYG sim overseas. That has worked countless times for me.

Do you have KPN branded Vox/S710 BIOS or 'just' a SIM lock ?

Question for a Techy who knows o2 connection codes?

Hi there,
I have recently brought an xda serra, I brought the phone unlocked online because I wanted it on pay&go because it made more sense economicaly and thinking I could only use the pay&go internet on emergencys otherwise use it through wifi, cutting costs.
However I have put in an o2 pay&go sim which did not automaticaly configure the GPRS and wap conection codes. So the internet is not working on the phone.
I contacted Tech Support at o2 ; one guy was very helpful and we tried a few settings which I manualy put into the connections on the phone but they did not work.
Apparently o2 do not support the phone on pay &go only on contract.
I do not want a contract sim as it is costly and I cannot afford.
The chap from o2 tech support said it should be possible and we tried codes for other phones such as the nokia 58 100 pay&go, but they did not work.
He said google it to see what I get but no luck with that so I thought I would try this forum!!!
I am very grateful for any help or ideas!!!!
If u can help I am a true dummie, so a step by step detailed explanation is required. THanks!!!!!!
