I have just taken delivery today of 6 (UK) XDA's for one of my clients.
They have rom version 3.16.32 ENG dated 13 Feb 2003 and radio version 4.20.00
This seems to be later than the recently released upgrades :3.14.13 ENG and 4.16

Hi,
and do they have SIM toolkit and Wireless modem application? :?:
Indeedy they do
I only took delivery last evening, I have not had time to play though.
Really, 3.16.32 has even Wireless modem application??? :shock:
Yes, a contact at O2 sent me this version.
I am still struggling with a few bugs though. Lets wait and see what happens with this.
the rom update you mention is installed on new 64 meg XDA's as well
has anyone seen any use for the new sim tool kit as it does nothing on my machine ???
xda
what is the tool kit supposed to do as mine doesent do a thing but the machine seems a lot more stable and you get alot more software on the disk that comes with it :lol:
Does anybody know where to download this version??? :?:

I'm running the O2 xda 64MB Asian version, currently on the following versions:

Halo ZeroXtreme.

Thnxz Bro.
Hi ZeroXtreme,
Mind if I ask which country have you used the new rom? Have you used it in Singapore or Malaysia?
Cheers

I did use the rom kitchen wm2003 rom wih my asian edition (64 mb) xda with xda UK's rsu 4.21 successfully. I live here in the Philippines and I did not get any signal problems with Globe telco. I reverted back to 3.14.17 asian xda rom coz I heard that they will be releasing an updated rom this month.
used wm2003, its nice but to me personally, a bit laggy sometimes. don't try it with the 32 mbyte model. did the wm2003 upgrade on my bro's 32 mb device, and he had so little ram left! lucky for him he has a 256 mbyte sd card for software!
otherwise, its pretty good! now i'm currently running SER 1.2
I am from Malaysia and upgaraded to Rom Kitchen 4.00.05ENG and Radio4.21.00.
I have nothing but praise for the new os.
Have not encounter any of the known problems(SD card erase or alarm trouble).
As my Xda is 32M I have almost all my stuff on the 256M sd leaving 21M of ram free.
There are many enhancements making this a great upgrade. You wont notice the speed increace unless
using cpu intensive apps like emulators. The speed
improvement in PocketSNES is like using one of the
new 2003 ppc's and the always on GPRS is sweet!
I am using Digi prepaid.
was wondering if you flashed your rom , how did you managed to put back in all the cantacts onto the new rom? i tried flashing my rom but was unable to restore contacts onto the new rom

sync with Outlook first before you update your ROM, and then sync again after updating to ROM, this will bring back all your contacts and files from mydocuments :roll:
just cooked (last night) 4.00.11 ENG WM2003 and sucessfully installed it on my O2 Asian Ed. with Radio 4.21. Installation went smooth...but now the problem is :
1. not able to deliver any sms. All sms settings seemed fine.
2. RF signal meter ..much lower signal.
note: the always on GPRS present you with an irritating task, as you cannot find the END button to cut your your GPRS connection once connected.
can any one please give your comments? cheers

Press and hold red phone hangup button for about two seconds.
Yeah, currently using 4.00.05 in Australia. Used the Yorch ROM and burnt it on using XDA Tools.
It's a sweet upgrade, even though I've only been using it a couple of days. No problems yet. The first thing I've noticed though is the "always on" GPRS, it really is "always on", that in itself is very sweet indeed. I'll be keeping my eyes open for any ROMs newer than 4.00.16 that are NOT T-Mobile. Don't use T-Mobile ROMs unless you have a T-Mobile and are comfortable with the process involved in reverting back.
My advice - DO IT! You won't look back.
Hi, I am from Malaysia, Kuala Lumpur, just get a XDA 64MB, can some one teach me how to upgrade to WM2003? Where can I get the ROM? I get from Yorch, but the file only 150kb very strange.
Can someone provide some nice FTP or webpage with FULL VERSION Application available?
Get in touch: ICQ 73348100
Thank You.
hey pplz. well i got my new xda 2 some days back and am kinda lost. firstly sorry if this is the wrong place to post it. ok lil history of my phone. the phone was bought from u.k. and was locked on O2 contract. now its not locked thanks to this forum. but im lost on the RAM and ROM part. the rom is 1.03.00 USA isnt this kinda old for this. secondly whts the USA part in it. and how much memory a xda 2 supp to have. these are the details below
ROM : 1.03.00 USA
ROM DATE : 09.24.03
RADIO VER. : 1.05.12
PROTOCOL : 1337.12
THEN THE HARDWARE I DUNNO Y MINE SAYS 32MB FLASH SIZE WHT DOES THAT MEAN ? ? ?
CPU : INTEL PXA 263
SPEED 400 MHZ
RAM SIZE : 128 MB
FLASH SIZE : 32MB
FLASH CHIP TYPE : 28F128K3
DATA BUS : 32 BITS
STORAGE : 14.57MB
THESE ARE MAIN DETAILS I GUESS. WHTS THE INTERNAL MEM. OR XDA2 ALSO WHTS FLASH SIZE 32MB SHUD IT NOT BE 128MB OR 64MB PLZ ADVISE IM VERY NEW TO XDA 2 USED NOKIAS BEFORE. THX A LOT.
also should i update the ROM. as i said i have 1.03.00 USA rom. where do i get the best rom for xda 2 whichever it is. thx for everything.
also forgot. the phone was bought from u.k. but its used in INDIA now. so should i get ASIA rom or the UK rom thx
Even tho the ROM and RSU look a bit old but as long as your device is working fine, don't try to mess up with ROM flashing till you get enough experience.
The ROM size is 64 MB in which 32 MB of them are used for the OS image. The extended ROM is 16 MB used for initial customization after hard reset (you will learn how to modify it soon) and other 16 MB used as additional storage ... the RAM is 128 MB as it says
ya but i cant sync via BT or IR. only with docking station it actisync. i dunno if my rom is working fine. it did kinda hang once. acc. to u the specs. i gave are normal huh ?
By virtue of my 2 x XDAII's failing for whatever reasons (abuse, long-life, etc.), I had to shift to one of my XDAII's (BA) with base OS:
=======================================
WM2003 SE
Version 4.21.1088 (Build 15045.2.6.0)
Processor: Intel(R) PXA263
Memory: 125.77 MB
ROM v.: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radio: 1.12.00
Protocol: 1337.42
ExtROM v: 1.40.923 WWE
Model No.: PH20B
=================================
I have found that this phone is WAY SLOWER than the XDAII - it's really incredibly slow! (And I had my XDAII with less RAM available!)
I have had problems connecting in Mumbai (India) with Vodafone (this happens with other units (EDGE modem/XDAII) too, but this is *extreme*!
I have to shut off the radio (put into flight mode) then back on, in order to connect to GPRS, or it simply will not connect!
I have tried flashing the ROM for the radio to 1.15, but I have to edit the file on the unit, else I get the error - it's really very time-consuming!
I'm afraid that all my time that I put into this unit will go to waste if I do not have a stable unit that I can rely on....
Any feedback on this?
Thanks!
Try the T-Mobile's rom or PDA2K's rom in Blue Angel Upgrading section.
The O2 rom bugs me too much.
Also install O2 Asia upgrade (I guess u r running a non asian one thats why BA isnt showing compatibility with ur network. Try upgrading to WM5/6 and see if u have luck on GSM/GPRS since majority of asian networks phail with BA WM5/6/6.1/6.5

Yes, it's the O2 ROM - not sure if this one was the one I bought in SIN or in the UK...any ideas, or way to tell?
Both were O2 branded....

Which is the best upgrade (simplest) to do, stable, with almost no bugs, with a similar to original config/options?
TIA!
well first of all if you want less bugs do not install the OEM crapware (the extrom software) you may even resize the extrom partition to 128 k to use the space as storage
http://alevri.atspace.com/ - updated Shipped roms list and mirrors which i will keep online
My advice is to flash the latest t-mobile 1.42 rom delete radio and extrom update files and flash rom only

Wow - thanks for the tips - wonderful to have the gurus of the BA helping us!
So, how does one delete the radio files?
I unzipped and extracted, then ran the .exe file, which started the RUU update.

Why can't you? Keep in mind that you can only do this only in 2003. So, from what I have read in your other posts you are either in 6.1 or in 6.5 (going back to 6.1). You have to use the Repart_doc and the ExtRom Unlocker tools in order to do so.
Aside from everything, I have been using xplode's version of 6.5 and I am pretty happy with it (both stability and usability)-wise.
If you are absolutely disgusted by it, you should try sun_dream's 20578. Best 6.1 that I have had...
Hope this helps.
@egzthunder1: did back to original rom wm2003 02XDAIIs and other cooked rom in wm2003, but it failed due to physical logic reason when im runnig repart_doc.exe. but when im expand my SX66 its work!! weird thing.

i have from today htc hd2 on contract from o2,and after reading about this phone i was find out i have all old softwares,i was trying update on htc web site but this link dont like me after when i was writing my serial number.
At the moment i have OS.Vers:5.2.21864(21864.5.0.81), Manila vers: 2.5.19202525.0 and my ROM Version is !!! : 1.43.206.4 (70315)WWE ,well to be honest with you guys im not sure what to do with that?i was upgrade from that popular iphone3gs,they don't do it this for the users buuuu
Thanks for any help,would be great if i will know what i can update on my phone
if that is important i running windows 7 home premium 32bit
what version were you trying to upgrade to?
If you only just got it today, try it for a bit first, i got an o2 one two weeks ago, no problems at all. Dont go rushing to update if you dont have to till you need to.
The O2 HD2 also have a branded ROM, so you wont be able to download from HTC unless O2 permit. Even if you get a hold of the ROM it will still fail unless you HSPL (or other method).
As samsamuel said. I've also not had the problems that others have written about. That's probably the reason O2 haven't issued an upgrade.
Leave it be and enjoy
