German XDA ROM to English ROM

Sorry, I am new on this board.
I tried to upgrade my German 3.14.16 GER version to an English 3.17.03 version. But the software cannot recognize the ROM.
Apparently, it is not possible to install an ENG software on a unit bought in Germany.
Has anyone made this experience as well?

The answer is to download and run our adaptROM utility in the same directory the upgrade utility has installed in.
But.... If you take our Special Edition ROM v1.1, you get a 3.17.03 ROM based on the latest O2 ROM, but with a lot of extras, and 3 MB more free RAM.
A kind gentleman by the name of Jeff Summers has compiled our ROM and placed it on his page as a single executable. Click here to download. Since the executable also includes and runs adaptROM, it should install right over anything else.

similar problem different ppc
so, I have a h1915 ipaq. it's not an xda but I'd be real happy for help locating an english language rom to replace the german one that came on it. Are any other roms from other ipaqs compatable?
any clues? thanks in advance

hi 004,
i think you posted a lot of threads like this, well im not a moderaor, so ok lang. hehehe.
with regards to your question, here goes.
I think you just got your unit, its from smart or globe right, from their promo, then if it is, its version O2 1.66 WWE, its the latest release from O2 Asia, although this version is not so good and stable version, you might encounter a lot of hard resets along the way, so use BACKUP, any will do, ACTIVESYNC BACKUP will suffuce.
for now, you need to know that:
1. O2 ASIA 1.60 WWE is the most stable version but lacks some upgrades.
2. O2 ASIA 1.66 WWE is complete but not particularly stable.
3. O2 ASIA 1.72 WWE does not exist YET, 1.72 is available for Imate or T-mobile versions but not for O2 YET.
O2 1.72 WWE is desirable however there is no upgrade yet from O2 (www.myxda.com), if you want, install the 1.72 of either Imate or T-mobile, but IF you will be encountering problems later, SMART or GLOBE will not be able to help you and IT is DIFFICULT to revert back to 1.60 or 1.66 O2 version.
So my advise is, IF you dont like the 1.66 O2 version for any reason at all, TRY the O2 1.60 older but better version, just backup your EXT ROM and bring over some files and installers from the 1.66 version that are missing in the 1.60 version.
IF YOU get tired of the 1.60 version, you can always revert back to the 1.66 version by upgrading.
OR you could wait for the 1.72 version from O2 when available.
Maayong Gabii!
Magandang Gabi!

factory installed 1.66roms can't revert back to 1.60WWE, i think.

hello boybi,
now pinoys are invading XDA country, before it used to be only smartphone territory, hehehe.
THEORITICALLY, you can revert back to 1.60 from 1.66 or vice versa using LAUNCHROM, flashing the unit to the EARLIEST ROM for the XDA 2.
The dark ages (1.3), hehehe, then flashing it again with the 1.60, that should work. Though i never tried it. Im waiting for the 1.72 should it come.

please join www.pinoywindowsmobile.com for Filipino support.
thanks ü

why don't you flash with imate 1.72rom?

is it safe to change rom versions? no permanent damages (like you cant use your xda anymore)?

Yun nga ang aking kinatatakutan eh, baka mamaya pag upgrade ko PAK wala na sira na XDA II ko. sabi nla kapag ang sira daw ay dahil sa upgrade yung waranty bali wala na. hhhhmmmmmm.....

Mga software
Tol, maybe off-topic ako, but meron ba kayong mga XDA software na pwedeng i-share?

mr. ofour,
your english (speaking & grammar) is better than me.
i can read & very understand your posting before.
------------------------
i am sorry if indonesian posting in the pilipino topics
but we are asean, rights ???
regard,
ajong

dont try to be so exclusive in your posts pare, coz we are in an international site and we do need a lot of help from these guys, ive been able to super enhance my XDA 2 with the help of xda-developers.
and try as i much to give back in return.
anyway, file sharing esp yung NOT freeware (meaning BuyWare) is not so good an issue too for posting, if you may, use PM (private messaging), you can see the flags so you will know who are filipinos.
there are a lot of good freeware at pdagold and at freewareppc, but if you need the really cool software, get our fellow pinoys together and maybe we could chip in for the software.
thanks and more power.
my project right now is LOOKING for official O2 ROM 1.72 and WM2003SE.
mabuhay!

to the Filipinos here, visit http://netph.com/index.php? . its a new web tech forums for the Pinoys!

i havent tried 1.60... but I had gone from 1.66 to 1.72b to 1.72 to 2.02, 2.06, 2.20 and back to 1.72 etc.... you get the picture..... the point is one could re-flash back to the old ROM.

ei boybi! i didnt know you were an XDA-developer too...

Ayos!

I need help getting my ROM back to WWE!!!

I made quite the mistake yesterday. I have an MDA compact that came from T-Mobile Germany and originally had german as the default language. It was easy to change to english by going to regional settings & selecting english.
So I didn't think twice about using a German T-Mobile ROM upgrade - and now I'm stuck with GERMAN!!! Regional settings doesn't change the language any more! what the heck?
Sooooo, I need a WWE .exe ROM that will load - I tried a UK WWE and I was told by the installer that I had the wrong language and install could not continue. Is there a way to go back to WWE? I don't care at this point what version.....
Also, I have downloaded from the FTP server other ROM versions but they are all .nb1 files and, despite my best efforts, I can't understand the proper way to install these. I've looked thru lots of posts and found one set of instructions but they were very hard to understand. HELP!!

Find here on the forum NEMESIS posts on Upgraging subforum. You will get all the answers.

is wwe 1.12 stable? btw do u know the different between all this
WWE_11200_172_11200
WWE_11200_550_11200
any idea?

Yes, for me its stable... I used both of them, but I think, 550 is more friendly, but I couldn't know your taste...
If I remember well, 550 is a Qtek S100 rom, 172 is an Orange or something else.

yeah that right jorde, ur memory is good.
but most of people in this forum says that v1.12 is not stable due to gprs and bluetooth problems & and it also used more memory than the old version. Is that true?
btw jorde, did u know how to update the caller id? because it says dll file is being used unable to update the callerID. Even after I restating, still being used. can u help me with it. thanks..

I think, everybody on this forum always want to use the best and the newest SW... For me its ok, I had only a little bluetooth problem, for my bluetooth gps I need COM8 port, but XDA mini has COM5 by default, but I got a good program (GPSGate) to make it virtually.
But the bluetooth by itselves absolut ok.
For me, Caller ID is no problem, Phone --- Tools----- Option----- Caller ID, and it works without problems.
Perhaps, some other program use it.

Hi Rudegar
Thanks for the reply I also have similar original versions of the O2 Australia Firmware and am wanting to upgrade.
I use the O2 Bluetooth head set which I would also like to keep using (I've noticed a few people having issues with some upgrade versions)
Please could someone send me a link where I can download the most stable/updated ROM for my Australian XDA II.
Sorry Rudegar for asking for links but I am so confused when trying to search for this, I never know what one to use and there are so many around.
I would also like to (IF POSSIBLE) get an upgrade ROM that is automated like O2 original ROM's, one EXE that extracts and does it all for you... no commands or lots of text to read though and try and work out how to do it all....
MANY THANKS!!!!!
Hope someone can help me out!

Is this also for the Australian Version of XDA II?

i've never heard of a special australian rom

Cool, thanks for the fast reply!
Ya I think Australia uses the Asian Rom?? but not 100% about that :-(
I though you needed your countrys rom so that you can select what telco's settings to use?
I am with Telstra as my phone provider. would you mind having a quick look and seeing if you can select Telstra if you have this rom already installed on your phone :-D
Many thanks for your efforts!

O2 has 1.11.170 available for downlod

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

is it safe to do upgrade ROM even via the website ?
I'm worried if it would broke down my PDA. :-(

Please click here to continue
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.
