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 all, I just got my O2 Xda II Mini few days ago (from USA) and tried to register at seeo2.com to download the new ROM. However, I kept getting invalid IMEI number and after corresponding with support, they told me that my IMEI is European IMEI. Does anybody has working IMEI for the seeo2.com site? Or, would anybody know where to get the latest ROM?
Thanks for the help!
William
I accessed in see02 and get newest Rom for O2 mini. You can check IMEI again! I've live in asian.

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?
Hey,
I'm trying to use my Vodafone NZ SIM in an XDA II that was purchased in Singapore. The XDA II has O2 branding and software, PH10B, ROM = 1.60.00WWE, Radio = 1.08.00
All of the PDA / PPC 2K3 features work fine, except the phone will immediately disconnect any numbers that are dialed. Also, no data connections work.
NB - I have tried all the (free) unlock tools I can find with no success.
Am I doing something dum?? Do I need to load a new ROM?? Please help...
Thanks, Gerry
