:roll: I have the O2 XDA and i have had it unlocked, it comes with 32 mb ram. i was wondering if any body has the upgrade software for it that they have tested and is working. my phone ROM Version is 3.12.07 ENG and Radio versio is 4.06.
if anybody has any information on how i could upgrade this phone i would be grateful, thank you and i hope to here from you son.
Shammy :idea:
It all depends on where you got your XDA (Netherlands, Germany, Ireland, US) and what operator you have. If you are not so sure how to upgrade or where to get an upgrade then contact your operator and use only their upgrade and instructions. In the worst case you could render your XDA useless so be carefull! Reading postings and info on websites as informative as this one sure helps a lot!
Thanks
Thanks for your help pal i will inform by service provider and see if they can give me the upgrade information

Hi,
I'm new to all this. I just got my first XDA and i need to unlock my sim code. I'm not sure how to do all this unix stuff. Is there anyone with all this done. And could they send me a copy so i can flash it to my rom?
My Rom ver. is 3.14.13 if thats any help
Also is this rom version too early for the XDAunlock tool?
Thanks
Seek and ye shall find
Your best bet is to search through the relevant posts (its a long and laborious job) but you will find what you are after.
Also look at the Rom Kitchen and you will be able to 'cook' your own rom and then flash it via your cradle. I do not have a Unix machine but the kitchen will create an exe for you to download.
As for sending you one, I doubt it as the rom is usually about 15Mb in size and so is a no no. Get to the kitchen, start cooking and enjoy the fruits of the XDA gurus labours.
As a word of warning some people may not be so forthcoming with info as they prefer people to search for their answer before posting. Just to let you know and prevent annoyance with regular posters
Goddame, go to : http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen
It's the easiest way, you can cook there your ROM, and after download it ,even as an .exe.
Just be carefull to read the different choices, depending on the ROM you choose first . (don't choose a T-Mobile one if you're not with T-Mobile . I have an O2 XDA UK , and I choose 4.0011 ENG WM 2003, all is OK , before I had upgrade the RSU -> 4.21 on the O2 site
You should read the different threads about that on the forum, so you can have the feed back of others, what to do...or not, problems, etc....
Thanks for your help.. I should have looked around a bit more. I have had a look at the ROm Kitchen and it makes things alot easyer. I keep looking about for more info.
Thanks again.
There is a tool to unlock your XDA made by the super guys here .. check the Unlock forum ... Hint: it doesn't work with ROM 4.xx

Does that mean that if I have a Locked O2 XDA and I install 4.00.11 ENG WM2003, my phone will still be locked?
Also, can I upgrade my O2 XDA 3.15.15 ENG to 4.00.11 ENG WM2003?????
Thanks Amit

Correct. First cook a ROM based on 3.17.03, unlock the phone using XDAunlock from Start/Programs/Phone., and then run the installer exe for a ROM based on 4.00.11 (for instance).

Yes you can.
Thanks Lads I've updated my XDA no problem.
I got a update to 3.17.03 from O2s website then cooked me a Rom update to 4.00.11 WM2003 in the Rom Kitchen.
The only problem i have now is that vodafone won't give me the settings for there GPRS connection because the phone isn't a vodafone autorised phone. Does any one have the settings for vodafone in Ireland? If so please forward them.
Thanks

This is the very essence of silliness. "I want to pay you money to use the service your business is about providing." "No, you're not authorized to pay us money to use the service our business is about providing."
lol
I got on to vodafone a gave them loads. So they put me onto there data support and he emailed me the settings and it worked. Why do you have to go through so much s**t to get what you want off companies like these????
Any how it's working fine.
Thanks everyone for your help!!
My XDA is running perfect :lol:
Hi, Could I solicit some advice please?
I have an:
O2 32mb XDA I
with 3.17.03 ENG ROM
4.21.00 Stack.
What Rom & Stack should/could I upgrade to? Can I get one with WM2003 (even with 32MB)? I’m not a total pioneer and would like stability. Also where can I get the ROMs from? I have backed up 3.17.03 using XDA tools and I’m ready to have a go…
P.S. my phone is patched for sim free operation as I use it with a Virgin pay as you go sim (T-Mobile UK)
Regards
Harry.
Harry,
No problem.
Use one of the rom kitchens, e.g. http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
WM2003 works better on the XDA1 than the default PPC2002, even on 32 RAM.
There are also some nice features in 2003, like separate phone and pc volume controls, a mute button for the phone, etc.
Regards
Brendan

Thanks Brendan i will give it a go, what Rev of 2003 are you running ?
Hi
I have a XDA I (with 64MB RAM) and I upgraded from the same kitchen above to Ver 4.01.16 ENG(lish) and it had been running stable on it since.
Seems to be a good and solid version altough it does have some uneeded (at least for me) T-Mobile additions.
Good luck!
Regards,
Gilad.

Hi all!,

Someone can help me :?:

Hi All,
Just to let you all know that O2 have the upgraded ROM (ver 1.11.170)with BB and radio 1.04 available now on their website.
See my Hmmmmm post above. I didn't spot this thread before I posted.
Hi!
I just went to O2 site but can not to see the new ROM for OIIi. Only v1.11.69
Snap. O2 IIi Downloads page.
If you know different, linkage please.
O2 have withdrawn the 170 rom as it had issues!!! (like the others don't!!) That is why it is not there any more. :lol:
on O2 site i found just 1.11.169
It was withdrawn because it was crap. Blackberry didn't work.
i just downloaded v 1.11.169 , hope this is the latest
I downloaded it one month and a half ago and i don't see the difference between v.1.11.169 and v 1.11.170 except Backberry v.2.0. If yours is good,I think you enjoy it.That's the best way.
i see the radio rom is still 1.00

This software is for Xda IIi in UK and Ireland.

Another question - on next page O2 asks for IMEI and phone number. Somehow I can find IMEI on my device but how can I obtain valid UK O2 tel. No??? It was bought on ebay... So is there any links where i can download this latest ROM ver. without tel number? Thanks.
I downloaded the rom with my imei and a romanian cell phone number from the official site. Didn't updated it yet...
There is now a v 1.11.171 available at the O2 website.
my emei doesn't work, can anyone give me a working link to the 171?
thank you.
I just upgraded the ROM on my XDA Mini S to v2.21.4.101
First impressions are that is is MUCH faster! I was a bit upset when I got it this week due to the performance. Looks like a few things have changed again like the position of the clock!
Anyway, lets hope it performes activesync over USB properly!
Download the O2 ROM = http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaMiniSoftware.aspx

What are the versions?

Protocol version?
thanks.
My O2 XDA Mini S now reports:
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)
ROM version: 2.21.4.1 WWE
ROM date: 3/9/06
Radio version: 02.07.10
Protocol version: 413.1.03
ExtROM version: 2.21.4.101
Hope this helps.
Rich
PS. this is running soooo much faster! and syncing and staying connected every time 8)
Only thing different from the recent Qtek/i-Mate/... ROMs is the Extended ROM.
But it would be nice if somebody could get the cool today-plugin out of the extended O2 ROM
Hi guys,
I will have my XDA mini s next week, and I want to update it instantly.
Unfortunately, I live in Jordan(Asia) and when I attemp to download the update from o2 site, they require me to give them an o2 number, and I dont have this.
can anybody help? can anybody upload the ROM upgrade on this forum please? any ideas... Please help :roll: :?
Thank you all
If you still need an O2 UK number to get the download use this one
+447933636910
Belongs to an O2 SIM I never activated and disgarded!
That should work for you
Cheers
Richard
Thanks for the phone number. O2 also requires one of their IMEI numbers to access this ROM update. Does anyone have one we could use, or even better, would anyone be so kind as to upload this new 2.21 ROM to the XDA server?
Best,
DrBig74
Iwill try and upload the rom,
Bear with me I can only upload at 60KB Sec,
If it does not work PM me and I will put it on a private site for you
Cheers
Richard
I don't use O2 SIM yet.I can download the update
Anybody can upload the update ?
I am uploading the ROM to my own webspace,
It will take me about 10 mins to get it on there (50Mb)
PM me and I will give you the details you need to download it, (I am not publishing the details on here as I have limited bandwidth available), but will make it available to those who need it
Cheers
Richard

Hi there,
When I upgrade my mini s ROM, and then hard-reset the device, what ROM version will be after the hard-reset? the new one or the one that came with the device???
also, is there any risk that the upgrade process will damage my device?? is it possible for me to loose the device forever??
Thanx all
This post may be of some use to you.
