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.

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!
Hi,
I went through a lot of old posts, but still have some confusions that hopefully you guys can help me out.
I just brought a used imate jam 900/1800/1900 last week. It's running ROM version 1.03.00 WWE Radio version 1.01.00 ExtROM version 1.03.141 WWE. I wanted to upgrade the firmware but i don't have access to imate.com. The guy who sold me the phone had already registered the IMEI # and I'm having problems contacting him.
I have some questions regarding the upgrades.
1) I checked the xda ftp site for new ROMS under Magician/Shipped ROMs folder, but i'm not sure if the ROMs are brand specific. (Imate/Qtek/Mini?) Is there any listing of the different shipped versions of the ROM. (I have seen something like that on a wiki page for Blueangel, but cannot find one for the magician) Does it matter if the phone band is 900 or 850 when you apply the ROMs?
2) If I don't want to go through the patching of the ROM (Since i'm still new to it), is it true that if i find the right brand/version of the shipped rom update that i can just run the upgrade exe file to flash the ROM and I'll be fine?
3) I read a lot of old post regarding backup/upgrade. It seems to be that the d2s command without supplying the address will only backup the ROM but not the ExtROM or Radio. Does anyone know what the correct series of commands to backup everything? The ones that i saw seems to be XDA II specific, and i thought the Magician has a different ROM layout (I saw it somewhere on the wiki page)
4) In general, any things to watch out for while doing the upgrades? What is the most stable version so far? I have heard that 1.11 is more stable than 1.12.
Thanks a lot guys. I can't wait to upgrade my phone b/c i'm deferring all my installs until after the upgrade so i'm using it purely as a phone now but still liking it.
I bought my PDA from USA to use in UK. however, although it is meant to be compatible with O2, I get no phone signal . all else is fine. i am currently with the Orange network but if I need to swap to O2 in order to use this PDA, I am willing to do so.
Could anyone be kind enough to please help me out?
my device details are:
Model No.: PW10A1
ROM version: 3.17.03 ENG
ROM date: 05/15/03
Radio version: 6.04
Protocol version: 324e4
i shall be most grateful as it is so frustrating not being able to use it properly after having purchased it so eagerly.
xda1's are only dualband
and there is a special model for
US(900/1900) and one for EU(900/1800)
so if you want to use it in EU you need a gsm company who use 900
it's in the hardware so you cant really make a 900/1900 phone into a 900/1800 phone
thanks a lot for your reply. on the actual pda, it gives you the option of UK O2, as well as other european countries. so i am still confused as to why that is if there is the band problem. :?
any ideas?
I have several S200, Portoguese, German and a into CHS changed Chinese version.
The Portoguese version has this .0001 problem.
What bothers me is, that the chinese version has the radio rom version 01.12.20.
Whilst I am looking at the German version I see a 02.07.20, so in my opinion there is something wrong.
The chinese one has a terrible network connection, so I would like to flash the radio ROM with the 02.07.20 version.
But as I learned romupdate does not dump the ROM cause of missing rights however.
Is there any way to dump a radio ROM or is it possible to flash the Wizard's ROM on a S200?
BTW if someone is interesting in some unchanges devices....
Hello,
My reeption on my Qtek s200 is very bad also. Sometimes people just do not hear me. Radio version : 2.19.21 (From dopod rom). Is there a way to change only radio rom (like with wizzard) Or can I even Flash the radio rom from Wizzard?
Thanks for your help.
For everyone, who looks for HTC Prophet RADIO ROM. (FTP is down at this time). So I reupload all RADIO ROM for HTC Prophet
All version are available here
HTC PROPHET RADIO ROM
Have a nice day.
upgrade radio rom 2.07.20 to 2.19.21 ?
Hello varanusvincent,
....can you tell me if after i upgrade my Radio vers. 2.07.20 to the 2.19.21 or other else, it's necessary a Hardreset or softreset?
thank´s in advance for your possible help.
My hpone is a Qtek S200 and have this config:
rom vers: 2.9.7.24 wwe
rom date: 2/9/06
radio vers: 02.07.20
protocol vers: 413.1.03
extrom: 2.9.7.9405
softreset is automatically.
no need of HARDRESET.
But if you want, it is better.
hello again,
.....thank you very very much for your help varanusvincent, but if you don't mind i would like to ask you one more question (kind newbie here), if i upgrade my radio version wil i loose all my contacts, sms, and other information on my pda or SD ????????
thanks once again !!!!
no you will not, this just upgrades the radio rom, not the 'full rom' as it were
good morning,
...thank you very much wanwarlock for your precious information. Now i can upgrade safely ...............!
Heya
What's the purpose of upgrading the radio rom? Will it give my prophet 3G network compatibility or something? Do you mind writing just 1 line of the benefiits of upgrading for each of your ROMS? I find you have contributed a lot but I just dont understand it. I've read the wiki too. I'm still using default ROM 2.15 with WM5

Flashing a Radio ROM will upgrade the software used for call handling, bluetooth and WiFi. It will not give you any functionality like 3G, but may increase Reception, and reliability of other Radios. It may also alter battery life.
If it's working fine at the moment, there is no real need to upgrade.
I'm download this Radio Rom and hoping it'll cure my problem.
How do I flash this Radio ROM? Do I use the Wizard Service Tool V4? A amature question so please bare. Unless it has its own execution then disregard my question
I enter the phone into Bootloader and ran Radio ROM 2.19.21 which is what I had original and program indicate "Error [300]: Invalid Update Tool. This update utility cannot be used for your PDA phone. Please get a newer Update Utility."
So I tried other version and getting the same message. I'm very confused, plz help.
IT"S FIX!
I simple use the Prophet Tools Light and it worked! everything back to normal!
Thanks a lot to the author of that software.
If I'd been awake I would have tried to help... Glad you got your problem fixed.
tHANKS A LOT dEAR vARANUSvINCENT
thank you very very very
Radio Rom Breakdown
Guys.. I understand that what the radio rom is for... Wifi, GSM, Bluetooth etc.. and that 2.19.21 is THE recommended 1.. but.. can someone please explain why? whats the difference between 2.19.21 and the latest 2.69.21 etc? If someone can post a brief guide on the pro's and con's of each radio rom then that would be great! Im particularly interested in a rom that gives the best wifi distance if anyone can recommend one? Also.. If I upgrade the radio rom will that affect my ability to access certain networks in in different countries? Im in South Africa would like to continue being able to use it in South Africa.. but would like longer wifi range if possible.. Thanx

I recommend it, because last time I test it. This RADIO ROM is more stabil and has aa good battery usage.
But If you think that 2.69.21 is suitable for you. You can use it too.

Oh ok..
Thnx Varanusvincent.. so i take it that upgrading the radio rom wont have an effect on which countries I can use the phone in? See the last time I tried to flash a fone it ended up only being able to work in Canada! Oopz Dnt Ask! Hehe
Anyway, it just seems to me that the reason people create upgrades is to increase stability rather than decrease it and maybe provide new features.. I doubt that radio roms will provide new features.. but I am hoping for longer wifi range no matter what the battery drain may be.. so think i'll just take a chance this weekend and play around with the radio roms and see what happens then.. Thanx vincent!
