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.

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!

Upgrade questions (I have read old posts :)

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.

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.

Confusion about ROM versions

Hey,
Sorry for the stupid question, but I just can't find the info I'm looking for. I've checked the wiki and a lot of threads here but can't figure it out.
The wiki links to the FTP to show two ROMs I could download, but doesn't explain anything about them.
RUU_Prophet_2090724_20907106_020720_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Am I right to guess that the first one is a very old version and the second one is the latest? If the second one is the latest, is it not available at clubimate just because clubimate is out of date? Also, shayd linked to JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip in a recent thread saying it's the latest official. If the ones in the wiki aren't official, what are they?
I'm currently running 2.13.9.23 on a G4 JAMin. This is what I put on from clubimate not long after I got the phone.
Also, I've looked at a few of the custom ROMs floating around here and they're interesting. However, I know that I don't know enough about this to just try upgrading to one, for fear of bricking my phone. Is there a recommended one, and would it void my warranty?
Thanks, and sorry again for the stupid questions.

As you probably know by now, the HTC prophet is sold (among others) by Qtek as S200 and by imate as Jamin. Hardware is identical so ROMS are compatible too. What you found on ftp are official ROMS by Qtek (ver 2.09 and ver 2.2).
Imate's latest version is 2.13, which is what you have installed at the moment.
Dopod's latest version is 2.15, while Qtek's latest version is 2.2. They're all official ROMS and will work on your device providing it's CID unlocked (search forum for CID unlocking). Just FYI, CID locking is used to prevent you from loading other carrier's ROMs.
Regarding customised ROMS, yes they're interesting but unfortunately they all have bugs.

Qtek's latest version 2.2

Thus meaning that, as I have an Imate JAMin, I could install Qtek's latest version 2.2 and it would be OK? Where do I find that??? Thanks in advance.

Thanks kta.
When i-mate's v2.13 is compared to the qtek v2.2, are those numbers relative to each other, or just arbitrary? I'm asking so that I can figure out if 2.2 is actually better than 2.13.
Also, am I right to assume that if my phone died while qtek's 2.2 rom was on there, my warranty would be void?
cheers,
James

You will be OK if you update it with Qtek's 2.2. There is one on xda ftp here: ftp://xda:[email protected]_S200_2.20.7.34_2.47.21_2.20.7.114_WWE.zip.
To avoid the ROM update utility telling you "Wrong Country ID" or something like that, make sure you use a ROM Update Utility with No vendor Id (probably included in the zip file).

Hi James,
The version numbers are relative to each other and Qtek's 2.2 is a better version based on a more recent WM5 release.
Regarding warranty, well, you'd have to check what Imate's policy is. I never had an imate myself but I had a similar experience with a T-Mobile device. I sent it back for repair under warranty and it had another carrier's ROM and they didn't complain. But Imate's policies could be different.

Thanks heaps kta. Very informative. I'll contact i-mate.

Quick question...
Does anyone know if qtek's 2.2 ROM has the laggy SIP switch popup issue?

Dump to Flashable ROM?

Hi All;
I am hoping that someone can help me.
(I have looked around for a couple of days - but can't find what i need...)
I am new to smartphones - but have Tytn II that i have flashed with a WM 6.1 ROM....
My biggest regret with flashing my Tytn was not taking a copy of the ROM before i flashed it - so i could take it back under warrenty if required
SO.. i did some more research when it came the the E650 i want to flash...
I can see how i can dump the ROM here..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Vox_HowToDumpRom&action=BackLinks
but i don't understand how i can rebuild the files once i have dumped them into a ROM i can flash...?
Or...
The version of the ROM that i have on the E650 is 1.22.61.3 (Orange UK)
The prepackaged ROMs on the XDA FTP includes E650_ROM_version_1.22.70.3.zip (which is obviously a higher version ;-)) is this a UK Orange SPV E650 ROM that will be accepted for warrenty purposes? In which case - should i bother with dumping the ROM on my phone or just use E650_ROM_version_1.22.70.3 (which would mean i wouldn't learn anything though...)
Cheers

you need not bother about dumping the rom because the orange rom at the ftp is the official release by orange and accepted for warranty purpose.
talking of that even the original tytn rom is available here on the ftp so you need not worry about that either.

Hi Prajith;
Thanks for the reply - guess i won't learn how to do stuff today - though if anyone else wants to point me in the right direction to recompile a dumped ROM - there is always tomorrow
Prajith - i should have been more specific - i have the UK TMobile Vario III... there is no original ROM for that that i have found so far....
Cheers
SF

i am not sure of how to reconstruct the rom from dump but it is explained somewhere in the wiki or in the forum.
i thought you wanted the htc rom for kaiser which is available here on ftp. t-mobile's rom i couldn't find.
but i am sure it will come soon. they'll definitely release a wm6.1 rom.
