It finally out. Goto http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_soft.html
The latest XDA IIi System Software is available for you to download. New and changed in this version of software, v1.11.162 are:
O2 Music Player (for use by O2 UK customers only)
Updated O2 Active UI
General Operational updates, improving device stability and connectivity management.
Guys, im uploading it for you to the FTP so imate users can use it etc, as you dont have an o2 IMEI.
I don't think I will bother !
The update instructions are a NIGHTMARE ! - including 2 full hard resets and all your date , progs settings etc being lost .
It took me hours on the phone to BT to get my internet settings working on my Pay As You Go sim card.
It all works like a dream now .
Is there a good reason for updating ??
I also notice that 02 have taken the opportunity to remove all mention of blackberry from their website. :evil:
Yup still no blackbery support
But we finally get o2 music player
And it does seem more stable
The radio version was only 1.0 so i kept on my imate radio rom 1.03
Works well so far tho.
What does the music player do better than the existing Windows media player ??
Has anyone installed this yet and if so Have you tried TT5 and does it solve the GPRS freeze problem?
Cheers
Lee
o2 music player allows UK customers to download and preview music tracks for 1pound each.
Ill test the gps with tt5 and post my results.

If that is the only thing then there is no point in upgrading.
Music is more or less free for download on the internet anyway.
Has update sorted GPRS connection problems?
Anyone tried it yet?
It claims "General Operational updates, improving device stability and connectivity management. "
So does this include the GPRS thing?
Had a look, the imate rom seems to be better. OS is radio 1.0.0, imate is 1.0.3
Did anyone also notice that all mention of Blackberry Connect has been removed from the XDA IIi specs page...
They are going to most likley not release the blackberry connect then. It will be released with the HTC Universal which I will have before anyone else....Muhahahaha :lol: In the states that is :wink:
how do you put the imate ROM on it? I can't get it to install as it goes on about incorrect country etc
I emailed them yesterday about the lack of blackberry on their website and recieved this reply :
o2 data support said:
Good morning
Thank you for your e-mail
At this moment in time the software for Blackberry connect is being developed, and hopefully will soon be released. Unfortunately we cannot give you an exact timescale for this, but details will be posted on our XDA website www.my-xda.com when available.
A change request form has been put in to remove the dates from the website
If you have any further enquiries, please do not hesitate to contact us, we will be more than glad to help.
Kind regards

- Upgrading rom's will ALWAYS nuke your settings - it's a damn reflash of the device to factory status, and has been since 2002
- Pay and Go has never been formally supported by O2 on Xda series
Your comments are misleading to new visitors to this site!

Ciao a tutti!
Strange problem this. I've hard reset my XDA II a load of times 'cos my PC is kinda allergic to it sometimes. That's life I suppose!
Normally though after a hard reset the O2 installer kicks in and installs their own programs etc.
However last week it just hard reset - no O2 stuff!
Tried a couple more times but nothing.
Gone too is my MMS program, the PDF readers, and MSN Messenger won't open even though there's an icon. (I tried to download MSN from microsoft's website but it won't transfer in Activesync to install)
The Device information says ROM 1.03.00 USA, ROM date 09/24/03, Radio 1.05.12, Protocol 1337.12. Does that sound OK to you experts?
Anyway, I took a deep breath and steeled myself to 'cook a ROM' at yorch.net but the exe wouldn't install saying something like that it couldn't access a remote program on the device - I forget the actual wording now unfortunately. The SD flashing and bootloaders etc is all greek to me even though I read the helpful files on this site. Decided not to risk banjaxing the whole thing!
So at the moment I have a working XDA II but it is a shadow of its former glory. I tried O2 website for the new ROM but no sign yet. (Does anyone know when that's due?)
Anyway, if anyone can spare the time to advise I'd appreciate it!
Oh, and a tip-top St Patrick's Day to you all tomorrow!
Yup, I'm Irish - despite the address!
Grazie tantissimo
Conor
I knew you were Irish once you said "Banjaxed", I think your problem is with the extended rom, though how you managed to lose it is weird, it usually has to be unlocked to enable deletion or addition of files. If you browse the extended rom you should have all the files that are used on auto configuration start up. Take a look and see what files are present if any. You may need to use a program to make the files visible first though. Take a look around on the forum and search for extended rom.
Extended ROM empty!
Hey - Thanks for that my friend!
I looked up extended ROM on the forum as you suggested and downloaded that little file to see my Extended Rom.
Yep, it's empty - nothin' there at all!
I'm guessing I wiped it while tentatively trying to upgrade the ROM.
Does anyone have such a thing as the files I need to put there to make everything work again? I just noticed the camera is kaput too!
Any help would be appreciated if any of you guys have the time.
Best regards
Conor
Yorch.net doesn't have XDA II ROMs, only for the original XDA. So they won't (or at least "shouldn't") install on the XDA II.
There you go... so that's what happened
Didn't know all that Yorch stuff was just for XDA I !!!
Fekkit!
Now my darling XDAII is WORSE than an XDA I 'cos not even MSN works - tried upgrading but no use!
My Extended ROM is completely nude
no camera, MMS, PDF readers etc - it's stone-age...
Can anyone advise me on my options?
Would the new O2 upgrade help when it emerges? Any news on that anyone?
Down and Out in the Eternal City...

If you follow this link, look for applecoms post, you can download the entire extended rom then copy it to your extended rom space.

Cruisin-thru , you de man!
Hey - you're a genius and a gentleman! Worked a dream!
Sincere thanks!
I don't know if anyone else has noticed, or maybe I was the only one with a problem, but after installing the rom update from O2 I now find web pages opening up in PIE soooo much faster with WiFi. Pre update I used to have to wait ages. In fact, I only found out how quick it could be when i tried UMTS. Just tried a race with a mate at work, his xda exec pre rom update and my xda exec post rom update. Both of us logging into a site we haven't been to before (yes,the same site from the same wireless router and the same distance from the router). My exec walked all over his. At a rough guestimate (no stopwatch) upto 4 times quicker.
I'm lovin it
Brett
Do you have any other improvements to report on? does the update make the device faster in general? is the screen rotation any faster? memory management any better? does it still loose it's GSM connection and need a reset to get it back? etc, etc...
Cheers
Paul
When I did the update it whiped everything including my sim card! Luckily I had the numbers written down!

Well, I had a SIM card file saved on the X3 phone manager so I did have a copy. I couldn't get Outlook (2003) and ActivSync to sync up...
What other things they fixed in this release? Does the BT headset Caller ID finally resolved? Does this upgrade work with imate Jasjar as well?
Thanks, and happy new year everyone!
I've just noticed that there is a new ROM available from the O2 XDA Web site.... I'm downloading it now....
URL: http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaExecSoftware.aspx
or to get directly to the files and bypass the IMEI check (!) try

So..... no A2DP then :x
and no blackberry support? That's annoying. Anyone done the upgrade yet?
i initially liked o2's UI more than any of the others,
and the updated CE image has me excited
but i really want to have the A2DP for my HT820s :?
has anyone tried it yet? how does it compare to the most recent qtek?
EDIT: the site is painfully congested.. i'm getting dialup speeds on a 30Mbps link
im half way through update now
So, would this ROM work with an MDA Pro? I've been trying to figure out all these different ROM versions for the MDA I'm getting tomorrow but right now I'm just confused!
Thanks.
can someone put it on the ftp
i can't deal with all these TCP Resets on the o2 site :x
im uploading it now. ive updated, i think its the same as the other new roms. it has a wireless manager today plugin and device lock and comm manager
its like waiting for paint to dry, tick tock, tick tock, Im watching it upload
Thanks for uploading )
but how was the speed of the exec & more importantly does it support A2DP? if so is there still any nosie?
Remind: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47977
Direct Link: http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaExecSoftwareDownload.aspx
its much faster , and theres no a2dp
or at least i dont think there is a2dp. How do i check?
i dont have a bluetooth headset btw
well, is not hard.
here is the step.
go to start--->Help
then click on search, type in "bluetooth"
if you see a topic called " Set up a stereo headset "
then it will have a very high chance that it support A2DP
Someone please upload rom to ftp. Ive got valid IMEI but no UK phone number. I would really be greatful
Does it have the stupid clock in the today screen or have they put the clock back in the top bar?

I've upgraded and done the search... and there is an entry that says"Setup a Stereo headset".... but it refers generically to "Windows Mobile Devices support A2DP"..... so unconclusive I think.... sorry... dont have a stereo headset either
Memory Usage if its of interest....
Following the upgrade, (using the corporate mode - password 0506), I have:
37.27 Free in Storage
31.13 Free in Programs
Doing the same in Basic set up:
35.61 Free in Storage
3o.61 Free in Programs

Hello, I am happy to try the upgrade. I have a pair of bluetooth headphones so I should be able to clarify if it has the A2DP support. I would like to make a backup of my exec's data beforehand using ActiveSync but I cant see the option to backup in version 4.1.
If anyone can help with this, I'll update tonight and post the results.

Hi all,
During the 3GSM congress lots of people tried WM6 and compared it on devices that ran WM5 before. It seems that there's a real global improvement with a noticeable gain of speed.
According to what I've read everywhere, the main weakness of the Orbit is its slow processor, so this upgrade could be very interesting.
I'm a complete beginner in this "all inlcusive-phones" world, so I was wondering, can I upgrade the OS myself (when available) or is it an OEM solution with no possible upgrade?
Thanks and good bye.

ok sorry,
by the way I saw a strange file on eMu*e called :
WM6 Crossbow (WWE) for HTC Wizard v5.2.660
maybe the beginning of a solution ?
no problems - just worth keeping it all together. For instance there is talk on that thread about the wizard ROM and why it won't work on the artemis...
ooh! ooh! I found it.

For those that havent seem - and I only came across it today ...
http://www.my-xda.com/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
WM6 installers for UK Orbits.
After installing the WM6 ROM from O2, the only problems I noticed were that 1) once enabled, the WiFi could not be disabled, and 2) the camera zoom did not seem to function, although number 2 may of been due to resolution, instead of a 'bug' of sorts.
Currently I'm using the Artemis_Touch_1.0_Lite_WWE ROM from these forums, and I'm pretty pleased.
You're right, the Orbits shortfall is its slow processor, however it does seem to be able to chug along perfectly fine with this ROM.
edit: note, also that the aforementioned site for downloading the O2 WM6 ROM, I visited this a while ago and the serial number that is present on my device was classed invalid.
I downloaded the updater - my Serial was recognised OK, and everything installed OK. Definately speed increases. I can certainly disable WiFi and the zoom on the camera is OK.
WM6 is certainly cleaner, more stable and I'm a happy bunny now!

I had the same problem, when using Firefox. Worked fine with IE though. One other thing - at first, after having my s/n validated, when I clicked the download link, I was routed to the HTC site instead of to the download dialogue. That turned out to be ZoneAlarm (licensed version) getting in the way. In the end, I temporarily disabled ZA and got the download.

hmm i need a licence for....

WM6.1
He we have a number of these we need to upgrade. some have a win mobile Classic sticker on the bat compartment but have had WM5 installed.
Have you got anywhere with this yet.
I did find this license costs at
www barcodediscount.com catalog symbol part-swe-116044-01.htm
but need a cheaper solution for the old handsets
Derek
I'm looking too! Seems you can't even purchase it anymore and I need v6 for certain apps.
I also am looking to upgrade one of my MC70 devices from WM5 to WM6/6.1 because the wireless security in wm5 will not support WPA-2 on this Symbol device with provided software. Currently it only supports WPA Personal and such. Which is way too insecure.
Anyone have any idea, or maybe a 3rd party wifi client that could handle authentication for wm5?
This device is still far too useful to be cast into the depths of a landfill.
I mean, it still has:
Bluetooth
Wifi
GPS
Cellular (Sprint)
IrDA
1D and 2D barcode reader
"Waterproof"
and very rugged.
Thanks you guys!
My MC70 with windows 5.0 supports WPA-2. You should select AES encryption
Everyone looking for upgrade options can PM me
I got some PMs and responded to them but I'm not sure if it got delivered as I don't see it in my send messages

Hi sent PM! not avail anymore from barcode warehouse in UK, according to online search! what to do!!!
I have shouted and moaned at zebra and don't get very far, even offered to take a contract, I ended up talking with them for 4 months only for tech to decline due to age of kit.
Any how I also have a bunch of MC75 so tried again.
Well got a bit closer, I now have a WM6.5 update but cant get it to roll.
I have sent you a Pm

Hi
I also have a symbol mc70 (or 75 i dont know it yet) and called my Distributor for a Update.
I cant rember who told me the Distributor or Zebra Salesagent that the Upgrades to Win6.1 are not longer Available.
The Upgrade cost ~10€ and is just a Digital Licence.
You need the Zip file downloads and a SIG file which is the licence that makes the magic work
But you do need to know which handset you have, MC70xx can go upto 6.1, MC75 6.1 and 6.5 but I have found a bit of ambiguity there
it seems their are few diff types of MC75
Note. I moved to 6.1 on the MC70xx but found the trigger cradle no longer works, go back to 5.1 and all is well.
If someone has a workround for the trigger on 6.1 (and i have tried the wedge software) please let us know
DB
I dont have the device next to me. Do you have a source for a Licence?
Mine came from Barcode Warehouse uk last year
about £ 22.00 which then opend up an order on the zebra site
But you must have the correct order code, otherwise you will get the "dont know i cant find it" answer
I would be carfull of the e downloads
