My current radio rom version of my O2 Mini is 1.01.00. I see there is an updated RADIO rom "MagicianRadio 1.11.00.zip" in the FTP server, my questions are:
- is upgrading Radio ROM completely separated from other ROM storage?
- can I use "MagicianRadio 1.11.00.zip" to upgrade my O2 Mini?
- is it worth updating it? what is new of this rom? I hope that my bluetooth handfree OMIZ can perform better after upgrading it.
- any risk of updating it? how to do the upgrade (easy? just running the program and upgrade via activesync?)
- how to make backup before the upgrade so that fallback can be done if something go wrong after the upgrade?
Thanks for your patient as I ask a lot.

i have just put my sim card in but the OS is
ROM version 3.14.17 ENG
ROM date 10/11/02
Radio verison 4.16
Protocol Version 32554
are there any upgrades or programs i should add or is it fine as it is?
any suggestions would be greatly appreciated :wink:
I would suggest leaving the radio stack alone if it works ok. You can backup your current rom to sd card then go cook a rom with lots of extra features and software in the unused rom space at one of the kitchens.
Hi ... congratulations first
Your ROM is PPC2002, so you may consider upgrading to WM2003 (it's not essential tho :wink: ).
In all cases, if your Radio is working fine (the phone part), just do NOT touch it!!
Take enough time to read in this forum before any steps or questions ... Good luck
O2 XDA and WM2003
I just saw posts on this thread, is it possible (safe?) to put WM2003 on an O2 XDA. What ROM upgrade should be used? I ask because I got impression that 2003 upgrade was vendor sensitive and you had to use (if they did one) your vendors upgrade. (i.e. Siemens, etc). Thanks for help, maybe I get to update after all !!
Alan
I have a WM2003 (ROM version A.30.09 ENG) on my SX56, that I had upgraded after putting in the SER to unlock the phone. Now WM2003 is much too buggy for me!
- the phone rings just once on an incoming call
- the system hangs every now and then
- apps take too damn long to start up
- ring volume is not very high
and on & on & on.......
I'd like to upgrade something more stable - either WM2002 or 2003 (if there's a stable version out there). Did go to LumpiStefan's kitchen but there are several options within the 2003 ROM's itself.
Can someone pls recommend to me which ROM would be best for me. And can I put in a T-Mobile ROM into the SX56?
TIA
Omi
A30.09 is known to have some issues with the sound.
TMO 4.01.00 is a very good and stable ROM, and yes you can use it with SX-56 device as long as you don't touch the RSU.
Thanks Biso007.
OK, so if I go to LumpiStefan's kitchen and cook a ROM there and put it into the phone, I would only be changing the PDA OS (and not doing anything to the RSU), correct? Just want to be sure before I go and experiment
Omi
How about the 4.01.16 ENG ? The kitchen says that it is the official TMO release? Can I go for that, since it guess it is the most recent release ?
Omi
4.01.16 ENG is working perfectly!
I would strongly recommend this ROM.. its WM 2003 version.
AND, I recommend the SD Card method.. flawless installation!
Question regarding newer ROM for the SX56
I have the older ROM and have not experienced any problems with anything that was mentioned. Am I just extremely lucky or is thing something I should expect to arrive shortly, considering I downloaded my newer ROM recently from the Siemens Site. I use everything on my phone and have no problems at all, only sh_ _ _ _ signal strength, damn AT&T! I would switch but still own then a year on my contract, so I won't go on and on about that.
Please let me know the pros to this newer ROM, at least in terms of stability and performance, if that is possible from someone that has loaded it.
Oh - one more Question...
Would I have to reload all my installed applications after flashing my ROM, or can I simply back them up and then restore them from backup without having to enter all the keys, and licenses that you would normally have to put in on the installation?
Thanks!

Some people encountered problems with 4.01.16, so I didn't want to risk especially that when I checked the system files and DLLs of this ROM I found that they are dated the same as the 4.01.00 ones!!

I 'm refering to A30.09 and its known sound bug (clipping) ... which ROM you mean ??
Wokay, 4.01.00 it is then
Thanks everyone, especially Biso007, appreciate your help.
Omi
Thaks everyone for your help, successfully upgraded to 4.01.00, though i lost all my contacts :-(
I had backed them up on a SD card and when I tried to restore that after upgrading, nada!
any ideas how i can get them back (i didn't sync with oputlook before the upgrade).
Omi
SD backup can be restored only to the same ROM version
It's a silly task if you really want your contacts back (long list I mean) .. flash your ROM to the old version, restore the SD backup, sync with outlook, flash the new ROM version, sync with outlook again ...
Don't you think that keying your contacts is easier ??
Hi, this is probably a newbie question, but just want to be sure of what i have to do exactly : i have a Qtek2020, ROM Version 1.66.00WWE, radio verfsion 1.10.00, ext rom version 1.66.146. I have problems with bluetooth transfer to send from the qtek to a samsung mobile; sometimes works wih some files, sometimes does not work .... the other way (from mobile to QTEK, it just work fine to receive files ...
If this is a ROM problem, where can I find it ?
After a ROM upgrade, I suppose I wil have to reinstall all data and additionnal programs ?
Thanks for your help
Newest official WWE ROM Version is 1.75.xx
You'll find it at the FTP download section of this site, but there is no guarantee that it will solve your issue.
After ROM Upgrade you will have to reinstall all applications, but if you make a full backup before upgrading, this should be done very quickly.

Hey guys,
Newbie here
I have a himalya(XDAII)
Rom Vers. 1.66.00 WWE
Radio 1.10.00
I want 2 know whether i should upgrade to WM5 or not
I mean is it really worth it or not
Can any one help and guide me step by step
[/b]
...
Yes you can. Read on http://buzzdev.net more about. But the upgrade to WM5 is quiet difficult to a newbie. Read carefuly about DOC_Tools,RAMdisk,Memory organisation etc. While in 2003(se)ROM image is everything already prepared,in WM5 you need to install some features additionaly. I am ready to help you with upgrade. Just ask.
I'm about to do the same thing. I have two units to try it on. One is 1.66wwe, 1.10 radio and the other 1.72wwe and 1.14 radio. Should I use one of these units for WM2005 over the other or does it matter?
...
You can use the Radio stack with WM5. But if you've got a Wallaby device(is in your profile Rustyrake),that is no WM5 ROM released. 1.66wwe and 1.72wwe are WM2003 ROMs. The latest ROM release of WM5 is 1.60c(and its RAMdisk variations). Most recommended radio for this ROM is 1.08.
I need to warn of few problems in this upgrade:
1. Activesync must be at least v4.0 and for USB connection is needed SP2(for XP).
2. I have still problems with radio and phone. (But other people didn't complain).
3. The speed of this system is a little bit lower than 2003(se).
4. Some of the software must be in latest version for WM5 support.
5. IA Camera interface is a history(pity). It is available only built-in Microsoft camera interface without any adjustments and functions.

thanx in advance
regards majnnuu
no one to help me??????????????
Here ya go....
1) Correct. You can't upgrade your 2i to WM5.
2) I would recommend downloading one of pug's ROMs. You can find them here: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Alpine/O2_Roms_Camera_Fixed_Bug/
If you hate the o2 active stuff, then download the one marked "o2stripped" (I would recommend this one). If you like the o2 active stuff, then download the other.
3) The latest Radio ROM available for the 2i is version 1.04. If you upgrade your ROM using one of pug's rom, then your radio will automatically be updated to version 1.04.
Justin
BTW, I think your device is an Alpine, not an Andes.
Got a problem I'm hoping someone can help me with.
I was updating my rom and it all went wrong. When I turn my xda2i on now I get the normal setup then its goes to a black screen with serial written on it (or usb if it is in the cradle), and apart from that it does nothing.
My laptop no longer recorgnises the device so I can't restore the old rom or restart the process????
Can anyone help please?
tez,
You're in what is called "Bootloader". You're OK. You can do one of two things:
1) Simply re-attempt to "reflash your ROM" with one of the ROMs you downloaded.
2) Reflash your ROM with a ROM update provided your manufacturer. I couldn't get my device to update with one of pug's rom (it go stuck around 18%) so I had to reflash my Alpine with an original ROM released from a manufacturer.
Hope this helps.
Justin
