I just got an O2 XDA Exec for the fact that it looks better than the Dopod devices, but since the OS on the O2 is English-only and I don't want to pay for a chinese add-on (plus the O2 Active applications are really annoying), so I figured why not just flash it with a chinese ROM.
I found a Dopod 900 Taiwan Version ROM on the FTP here and flashed it onto my device, it works great but the phonetic input is really annoying (since I don't know phoentics), so I'd like to ask anyone got the Hong Kong version of the ROM (or own the Hong Kong Dopod 900 device), please upload it to the FTP?
Thanks alot!
Actually I own a Dopod 900 bought in Hong Kong, yet I encounter the same problem which is very annoying.
Furthermore, I tried the high-resolution display and succeeded to turn my 900 to display in 640*480 all the time. But very unfortunately the display keyboard failed to work any more.
So yesterday I reset my device and now it works in low resolution display. Can any experts here help to solve this problem?
Many thanks!!!!!
There is no Dopod 900 (HK version) ROM available. Dopod has not made it available for downloading. I tried to take an image of my own Dopod 900 but was not able to do it (I could get into bootloader, but the commands that are posted here did not work).

Hi, I have a T-Mobile MDA with the T-Mobile Rom 4.00.10 ENG in Austria/Europe. Radio Version 4.21.00 of O2 Germany. And use a network operator in Austria (Telering) operating on 1800 MHz.
Here is what happened. Everything was perfectly fine, until I did all the "official updates" of T-Mobile (OS+radio) which wrecked my MDA. After really getting into the subject and 5 cooked roms at jeffs kitchen and SD bios replacements, I finally got the thing working again. I am using the combination in the first line (o2 + Tmobile) which "kind of" works fine. Here is the deal: Using operator A1 (900MHZ) everything is perfectly fine. Using Telering (1800MHZ) everything seems fine for about 30 minutes, then the signal indicator still says there is a connection, the green light blinks, BUT if you make a call it fails with not available, or if someone phones me he gets to the voicemail. Interestingly I figured out that under PHONE/BAND options only 900/1900 is available, while non is selected. THE ROM I USED IS the T-Mobile GERMANY rom. I also used the band selector method in the bootloader to select 1800 MHZ which i need. It is obvious that the system operates on that band, as I do have a connection, but it drops it. Any ideas? Thanks a million guys, Matt
Interesting Problem - 900/1800 and 1900 Band in Europe
Found out some more... The official T-Mobile update on the Tmobile website in Germany actually includes TWO different nbf files. It checks what you have installed. Number one is a English 4.x version Number two is a german 3.16.45 version.
Again, I still encounter the problem on 1800 MHz, any ideas? :shock:
Solved
:lol:
hi, as it seems, using the original german 3.x bios of their germany website (not the english nbf which is also included in the file) also the 1800 MHz band works perfectly fine. No matter which 4.x version I use I encounter the problem (e.g. from the german O2 website, Jeffs Kitchen and so on). It does not seem to be a radio problem (now I use the latest of the german o2 website) but the interaction with the main OS. So no 4.x version for me here in Austria on 1800Mhz. If anyone ever solves this issue or has a MDA on 1800 Mhz running with a 4.x OS please let me know via PM. Thanks everyone. Logging off. M
where did you get the phone from ?
T-mobile USA or T-mobile Germany ?
T-mibile USA Pocket PC phone is GSM 900/1900 phone, so you cannot work on GSM 1800!
Hi, it was a mobile of TMOBILE GERMANY. And as such a 900/1800MHz phone. So this is why it actually works on the 1800Mhz band. Havind said that with the German T-Mobile Rom of the german website using the SECOND NBF, which is in english, you get a rom which seems to be for the US, as it is a version 4.x (not for resale, test only) and showing 900/1900 Mhz in the band options....
Strange though that this flash is offered to the European customers, cause if you have a english rom underneath it will automatically install this english version.
Anyway, I switched to the german version using bootloader and everthing is fine now. Still use the O2 radio stack.
:lol:
USA At&t is PW10A and work on 1800Mhz
I bought a Sx56 as aAt&t unlocked phone, now I need to change it to bandwidth 1800Mhz that we use in Brazil. I read in this forum model PW10A works in 900/1800mhz I think I just need to use the right BIOS, anyone here knows what bios I should use? Thanks.

Uh-oh I just sold off my Mini O2 to get hold of the 828 so I can get the 128mb RAM. Unfortunately have not found one with English OS. Any ideas if available? I tried 2C and Gome and they only have the Chinese OS ver. Is the Mini O2 coming out with 128mb ram with factory warranty?
I wonder if the case will fit.
Would love to fit that case to my Imate

I don't think you can use your 818/XDAII mini case as 828 buttoms are larger and 828 is a little bit larger than 818.
828 English
Just got 2 machines 828, aarived with CHS rom version 1.12 both Radio and OS. I flashed them with the OS 1.12 replacing the header (416 bytes) and wih Rom version 1.13 (also changed the header). Used both for the last day and half with no problem.
My HKG friends with wanted to upgrade their existing O2Mini , (loaded with 1.11CHS and the other with Dopod 818 loaded with 1.11CHS ). The Dopod 818 took the dumped rom with no need to change the header.. and for the O2Mini I had to change the header. Both machines are working great with the original version of the 828 (1.1206).
So rom version between the Dopod 818 and the 828 are swapable.
Both rom images will uploaded to the FTP
How much the new device?
Dear All,
I am new to this forum which i just joined today. Currently i am trying to figure out my newly bought SPV M600 from u.k but i m located in Malaysia. Any errors or failure on my SPV M600 will be a nightmare for me because i cannt get back to U.K and fix the SPV M600.
After i surf through the whole prophet section, i didnt able to get a proper guidelines on updating the ROM in SPV M600 to Dopod 818 pro ROM. First of all is it possible that i update the Dopod 818 Pro latest ROM? Is it compatible?
If yes please teach me the right ways to perform it. I really scare that my SPV M600 will be gone.
Any specific intruction on the update? To make it perfect?
Don't worry about your SPV m600 ther's no need to get it back to UK..You just have to search around in this forum..go to Prophet Section, surely you'll find tolls nedded and instruction
what is the SPL / IPL of your phone?
I have an M600 myself and on an Orange ROM and wonderig if the Dopod ROM is better and the pros and cons of upgrading from orange to dopod.
Also pls be sure that once you have flashed to a non orange rom u cant go back to the orange rom as it aint available nowhere.

when i try yo go through the wiki.xda-developers.com and under the phophet section there is no information. all the links seems contain no information. wondering where to start from.
and also is this rom working fine with spv m600? http://www.dopodasia.com/download/RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship.exe
what is extended rom? can i have a link on that. thanks
Take a look at this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=50995&start=0
Be aware that if you upgrade to Dopod, there's no turning back for now with this rom, meaning you won't be able to downgrade until a solution is found.
I have installed myself that dopod rom instead of the orange FR one, and I think it have better speed, but appart of that, don't really see the difference appart from some stuff missing in the dopod (like pvplayer for live tv and the rotate screen) and some useless stuff in dopod like auto config for Asian phone providers.
In my case I've update to dopod because it was the better rom atm and I wanted to get rid of that AZERTY french keyboard config which is far from handy on a phone and have a QWERTY.
Now it's up to you to know if you wanna risk it :wink:

rockdaman: And you cant go back to Orange rom once you flash to Dopod. Do let us know if you do flash and if you like dopod any better?
Cedrick: Since the Orange ROM already had AKU2 i assume it is the newest ROM out there comparable to the latest Jamin ROM. Your thoughts pls?

Hello everyone,
I have on order a o2 xda neo, I was told by the salesman that
the manual and os were in english.
I have now found out that the neo is a german version of the
i mate jamin. I feel very stupid.
What does this mean in real life terms? Will it have a german
interface that I can't read? will I have to flash the os?
anyone?
thanks,
Chance
O2 XDA Neo
Hi.
I have O2 XDA Neo too, it's one week now. It's from Germany so everything was completely german. I flashed the RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID.zip from here, it's english version.
But first, try to search for english localization of WM5. I you won't find it then flash the new ROM. The problem is, there is no solution to go back to O2 German ROM nowadays for IPL, SPL version 2.15.0001. You will surely get the new version. But in month or two, there will be tool to unlock the phone to be able to flash lower versions of ROMs. Read the forum, it's priceless source of information.
Thank you Median for your reply, I have heard many horror
stories about flashing ROM,but if I have to I will, So what your saying is
the ROM on the OS is different from the WM5 and that I have to flash both.
I appreciateyou taking the trouble to answer me.
chance
The file is the Dopod's ROM, it's newer version then O2's and includes english WM5. Flashing was abslolutely no problem on my Neo. It takes about 10-15 mins to flash. Some say 30 mins, but for me it was quick. And the best thing you can do when flashing ROM - don't watch it, it doesn't like it. You know, it's intimate time for the device

1) Do you have to CID unlock your Prophet before flashing to the Dopod Rom?
2) What was your SPL / IPL prior to flashing?
3) Does flashing change your SPL / IPL?
4) I have Orange SPV M600 with IPL 2.10.0001 / SPL 2.10.0001 and someone told me that i need to CID unlock first to be able to flash ROMs.
Is this true?
5) Also i do not see the M600 original ROM available for download, how do i go back to orange ROM if need be? Will it be possible if orange made their ROM available for download?
Pls help.
I've just flashed my O2 Neo bought in Germany, ver. 2.09.0001. I used the ROM available in the forum,
RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship-NoVendorID
and it worked FINE. GREAT! I bought the telephone unlocked in Germany from O2, didn't needed to unlock CID. My GSM card from my brazil operator worked fine. Wifi too.
Thanks, I will try the Portuguese ROM now.
I have a question, if I flash the O2 neo to english version, the home-zone function will be lost or not?
It will be Lost but u can install the homezone needed files from the ext.rom afterwards. These Files should be available on the ftp Server.
AND:
I did also upgrade my German O2-XDA NEO to the mentioned Dopod rom - And you can also go back to the (older) Neo Rom later.
I do not know why but it is possible to downgrade from Dopod to the newest O2 rom, maybe because both are 2.15.x.x.?!
Hello Everyone,
I have changed the IMEI number of my Dopod 838 last night, but I had to downgrade to lower ROM Ver. for CID issue. But the rom i have installed on dopod was chinese.
After installing the lower Rom and solving the IMEI issue I installed another Wizard rom on it (which is not for 838 I think).
Well I found the Rom for 838 but i cannot install it, it shows a message like "you need newer version of NBF" etc.
I would like to install latest Dopod 838 English Rom to my dopod, can anyone help me on this please?
Wish all of you a happy new year.
