U.S. user, get UK rom? - JAM, MDA Compact, S100 Software Upgrading

I'm from U.S. using the o2 xda mini, im about to upgrade my rom.. i dont see a u.s. version.. so do i just download the UK version at
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Magician/Shipped_ROMS/UK_11200_131_11210_ship.exe
?

You can, sure. Just set the region to English (US) at some point.

Yze,
Have you got a WWE rom? If not don't forget to visit the WIKI (top right link on this page) & go to the magician section. There's a lot of info, including rom upgrading, overthere.

i have an o2 xda mini
ROM version: 1.11.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/14/05
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.11.922 WWE
I'm a newb.. hehe.. just got my first pda pocket pc the other day and I've been here reading a lot.. sorry if my questions seem dumb
im following the wiki and also the HOWTO post/package that was posted.. just wanted to make sure im gettin the right file..
so UK it is i suppose

You can put every language version on your device with maupgradeut_noid, but make a backup of the ext-rom cabs first as they contain your US operator settings!
The howto explains how it's technically to be done. You know that by now ;-)
M

FYI O2 does not have a local office here in the US ... for all of the guys who use any O2 mobile device, you should know which version of the device you get (whether UK, DE, IE, Asia, et al) so you would get the right ROM for you.
in another note, you can actually use any ROM which is readily available in this site, though you need to tweak it a little for the settings of your device ...
enjoy!

I upgraded to the UK version, so it works. Ugly colors though, I ended up going to the latest IMATE JAM version instead.

identify o2 uk

How do you identify your XDA2 whether its from UK or Asian market?
My unit's versions as follow:
ROM VER: 1.66.00WWE
ROM DATE: 02/20/04
RADIO VER: 1.08.00
PROTOCOL VER: 1337.18
EXTROM: 1.66.165
I need to upgrade my unit and I have Xda_II_Upgrade_v16050 which is for only O2 UK.
If my unit is from Asian market, is there any upgrade and where can I download?
Can anybody reply me pls?
I NEED SOME HELP FROM YOU GUYS, PLS.
i dont se why it should mean anything even if it was only dualband and not triband it should work in both europe and asia
any rom upgrade which end with WWE you should be able to use
wwe meaning world wide english
havent heard of any roms which only works in 1 country before
Thanks!
The upgrade software downloaded from O2 "Xda_II_Upgrade_v16050" strictly says "This software can only be used to upgrade devices sold by O2 UK or it’s partners."
Do you think this upgrade works with my XDA2?
best to check first if you won't get a country error with HimaGetDeviceData.exe
see : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HimalayaRomFlashing
or http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12101
also your local MMS/GPRS settings won't be in this O2 UK update so save your extrom first.
See : http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=8422
Good Day to You!
I see that you are from ASIA like me, and that we are supposed to get our O2 XDA 2 upgrades from site www.myxda.com HOWEVER, the ASIA site is very slow in releasing the upgrades to our XDAs.
Currently they are releasing the 1.60WWE ROM update, and this is behind OUR current version which is 1.66WWE. And i think it will still be ages before the 1.72WWE ASIA ROM will be released.
NOW, the UK O2 Site is releasing an 1.72WWE update which is VERY suitable for our XDA, no matter if we are from ASIA. HOWEVER, the difficulty you will be encountering is the lack of AUTOCONFIG program in the UK O2 update which set-up automatically for you the network settings in your area.
BUT, the O2 UK update is suitable for your ASIAN XDA.
Thanks CHAMELEON!
Available current version even from O2 UK is 1.60.50 WWE which is older than what I have in My my one.
When is O2 UK releasing next upgrade?
By upgrading from UK vers., do you think there will not be any country error in the ROM?
Thanks
NEW Rom
Hello Ahmed,
You must be referring to the ASIA SITE, the UK O2 SITE is now boasting the 1.72.181 (with blackbery support) and the 1.72.187 (without blackberry support).
Also i think DCS here posted a ZIP version of the 1.72.187 WWE full ROM for download. Please search.
For your question regarding COUNTRY ID problems, if your XDA 2 is still ORIGINAL unit, meaning you did not FLASH it or TRY to load any other ROMS since you bought it AND you did not try any of the previous 1.72ROM here from T-mobile, Imate..etc. Then there should not be any problems for you in upgrading from 1.66WWE to 1.72WWE.
Cheers.
Thanks Chameleon!
I will try to do that.
My phone is brand new and only 5 days old.
I haven't done anything so far to upgrade or flash.
Cheers!

XDAmini ROM

my xdamini rom is:
ROM version 1.03.00 WWE
ROM date 11/01/04
Radio version 1.01.00
Protokol version 1337.38
Ext Rom 1.03.166 WWE
is there the higher version than that?
yes. But not the official one.
In my opinion, better wait for the official one if you have no problem on running your current one.
Best regards,
Arto
I hope the official one comes out soon.
I have emailed O2 numerous times but they just dont reply about the updated ROM. And their representative office here in India sucks.If you call them up....they dont know anything about upgrading or anything for that matter!!!
The rom upgrade within asian is the same type of rom, Just like the previous XDA if I'm not wrong.
http://www.seeo2.com/SelectCountry.jsp?next=/support/XdaIImini/template/ServiceMenu.vm
But do you face OS problem with your XDAmini.
I'm living in malaysia but I had flashed my rom to wwe because my BT pairing when I'm using the original rom giving me problem. But after the upgrade it had improvement on the pairing now.
Friendly advice ..If don't face any problem with your OS don't flash anything.
TQ
Xda mini - Rom update
Hi,
I've got a Xda mini in Thailand. O2 Thailand doesn't provide yet the update to 1.06 but for those who got the Mini in Singapore, there is an official update.
Unfortunetaly, once registered my Mini in the 02 Thai section website, I cannot access the file for those who registered in the Singapore section.
My question: where to download this file? The latest rom in English ?
Thanks a lot !

Which ROM to use? (I've read tons of old post)

I have read a bunch of post on this but still not finding the answers. So, please forgive me if this is a repeat question.
I browsed thru the ftp site (under the Magician folder), but not sure of which ROM to download since there are so many of them and not sure of which is the most stable version (O2, i-mate, qtek, MDA?).
I have the O2 XDA II mini with the following version:
- ROM version: 1.03.00 WWE.
- ROM date: 11/01/04
- Radio version: 1.01.00
- Protocol version: 1337.38
- ExtROM version: 1.03.166 WWE
Or, should I use the one that I downloaded from seeo2.com site: the filename is:
ma_o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship.exe?
Also, when I update the ROM, would it lock my phone? I bought the phone in USA so I assume the phone is unlock.
Any help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again,
William
I'd use the Qtek S100 1.11 ROM (it's what i use now) as it's completely stable (1.12 seems not to be..) and then apply bigstorage to it..
How about the O2 ROM? I'd like to stay with O2 ROM (instead of using the Imate or Qtek ROM). Could anybody point me to the correct ROM to use? I browsed around the ftp but there are so many of them (extrom, bigstorage, modified, shipped). Thanks for the help!

The O2 ROM on their website was put up in May and is v1.11 and it's working OK for me.
I bought a T-Mobile Compact, and someone had loaded the I-Mate 1.11 ROM on there. I kept having a problem wth the GPRS failing to connect. I then upgraded to the 1.12 ROM, and it was even worse. I kept the 1.12 radio, and then downgraded to the basic 1.06 ROM. It is stable, and honestly, I don't see what the differences are besides now I can connect to GPRS whenever I want.
I also applied the bigstorage hack, and only applied the basic extended ROM cab files from 1.12 and the bluetooth patch from 1.06. I received my Compact last week, and applied 1.06 yesterday. So far, no issues have cropped up. Man, this Compact is so much less buggy than my MDAIII. The MDAIII was so feature packed, but had sooo many problems.
Hope that helps.
plz, give me a link to O2 1.11eng, i cannot log to o2 as my iemi belongs to imate, thanks

T-Mobile MDA Compact

Hi all ,
As you can guess another newbie :lol: , spent quite a while browsing through this forum and have found some interesting stuff .
I have just purchased the above on T-Mobile and i'm looking to mod away but i would like to start from a fresh non branded WM2003 SE .
This is what i have found on my phone
ROM Version 1.12.00 WWE
ROM Date 05/28/05
Radio Version 1.12.00
EXT ROM Version 1.12.152 WWE
Is this the latest ROM if not could anyone advise on the latest .
cheers
Mark
Same here
I have applied BigStorage, but this is the same ROM I am using from TMobile.
I haven't had any problems with it, seems quite stable. Unless you need something fixed I'd leave it.
If either of you has a backup copy of the original rom can you please make it available as the one on the FTP appears to be corrupt.

THE UPGRADE CONVERTS O2 TO T-MOBILE.
HOW TO CONVERT IT TO O2 BACK. PLEASE HELP. :?
T-Mobile is just a service provider. Your phone is still the same
Do a Hard Reset and then Soft Reset after the Screen Alignment is done.

Hi I have a question. My Rom version is 1.11.00 WWE and I did the Big Storage trick before so I dont have the ExtRom now.
If I upgrade to this new ROM versions, will I get a ExtROM back again or I still have the Big Storage?
thanks

dinoalbert, everytime you install a new ROM you will have to do the BigStorage hack every time. A new ROM will always have the Extended ROM embedded in it.
After i change my ROM from O2 to TMob i can't use O2connect anymore..why?

Did you backup your old Extended_ROM?
I dont remember the CAB file name, but you gotta install that file to get O2 Connect. I think it was O2_Base or somethin
Also, is it just me or did anyone experience hang-ups after upgrading to Radio 1.13. Was like a hanging for a sec, while I m listening/watching music/movie and if I click on any other application. Downgraded my Radio to 1.12.10 right now and all is well.
