I have recently updated the ROM and the Radio Stack on my 2 xda's and everything went fine. However, i would like to remove the OS upgrade on one of them. How can I do this?

Hello everyone. I have a two month old xda 1 and I am thinking of upgrading the ROM (OS) to WM 2003. I have created the ROM (4.00.05) at http://kitchen.romanweb.com and downloaded the exe. I have also read the pitfalls of how upgrading the ROM can completely render my xda useless. Are there any steps that I can take so that if the upgrade fails then I restore my pda's old OS and functionality (being a DBA it would be bit like a database restore)? Those users that have upgraded successfully, are there any pitfalls to look out for or any literature on the upgrade process? One more question, when I do upgrade the OS, will the phone work as normal or do I have to do something to "link" it to the OS?
Thank you for your advise.
Read more posts...way more and don't use the .exe to upgrade your device. Download the OS Toolset, backup your current ROM, and then upgrade the ROM with an .nb file which you can create in the kitchen. FYI 4.00.11 is more stable than .05.
Where can get my hands on the OS toolkit. Also, will the 4.00.11 work on a UK o2 XDA?
http://xda-developers.com/phpBB/viewtopic.php?t=2189. As far as a US ROM working in the UK...I don't know. It should for the OS is independant of the radio stack. Just back up first to be safe and don't use an .exe to upgrade or you won't be able to go back without difficulty!
Hi,
I recently upgraded my XDA1 to WM2003, trying numerous ROM versions, and they all worked fine.
However I was unwise to run an upgrade of the Radio Stack installing the latest O2 release 4.21 and ever since my phone keeps losing the signal and needs to be restarted everytime to get it back. Basically I am unable to use the phone anymore.
Of course, I did not bother to make a backup of my old Radio Stack ROM, so I am unable to undo the "upgrade".
Is there anyone who is having a similar problem or can provide me with his Radio Stack version if different from 4.21? I am using the 900/1800 model, so AT&T and T-Mobile ROMs do not really help.
Thanks
I have installed the new orange rom and radio is now 1.03 i did have 1.06 so i was wondering shall i upgrade again and if so what is the latest radio version that is knows to work with the M5000 with latest ROM.
The 1.0.8 update fromt his site has installed without error and everything seems to be working.
mcoxall can you post a link the the 1.0.8. you used. Did you install on M5000? presumably it just upgrades radio not a total reflash?
I have upgraded my QTEK9000 Frenc Rom to the new Orange ROM
I removed the radio .nbf file from the extracted file, so I kept my 1.08 radio version with the new ROM.
Everything works fine for me no problem so far.
I did the full orange upgrade then did the 1.08 after that. I didnt mind the hard reset either as my M5000 decided to lose its charger port over the weekend and it went swimming inside the device. Thanks orange for the very quick replacement.
I'm running what's in my signature with no problems at all.
I've downloaded 2 official updates from t-mobile.co.uk site for my Compact 3, the latest WM5 ROM and radio fix. Can you tell me if it's worth going ahead and installing them to the phone and doing the upgrades? My phone is working fine, although the battery drains very fast (may not be the rom) and gps fix is always about 2 minutes, sometimes longer.
The T-Mobile WM6 upgrade has expired on their site, so that's a no go anyway.
Obviously I don't want to upgrade unless it's absolutely necessary or unless I'll greatly benefit from it. Since this is just an upgrade rom to the existing WM5 O/S and not WM6, does this mean it will still hard reset the device and erase all data? I'd obviously back everything up first just in case.
Here's the link I downloaded from:
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/sd_compact3.html
The ROM update file is called: ART_TMOUK_11311001_024990_WWE_Ship_R3.exe
The Radio fix file is called: ARTEIMG_TMO_UK_4.1.13.251_02.92.90_RadioOnly.exe
I presume I don't need to do a Cid unlock as there's nothing on t-mobiles pdf instructions about that. http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/files/install.pdf
My ROM version is 1.13.110.1 WWE
ROM date 22/9/06
Radio version 02.49.90
ExtROM version 1.13.110.101
Hi,
Some time ago I upgraded my radio to some new unofficial version (this doesn't require HSPL right?). However, will my radio be updated as well when I upgrade the rom to 1.66 (if it ever will arrive for the Netherlands...) or will my radio stay the same? Does this also mean I will have to keep on upgrading unofficial radio's?
