hi guys, i asked a question regarding tomtom, a couple of poeple advised me but i could not sort it. the question now is i down graded my roms from 2005 back to the one from the o2 xda site does any one know if this is 2003se or 2003 or what? the file name is Xda_II_172181_Final.
thanks for you help.
ps 2005 is bloody cool, but i like tomtom to much.
It's WM2003 with service pack 2.
I'm running the same, but I've cooked my extended rom, TT5 works cool for me, but my GPS receiver is bluetooth, and bluetooth loves to eat power
thank
for your help.

OK got a Himalaya and an Alpine (XDA branded) and my Himalaya is very happy now running WM2005 1.60a and the Alpine is running the O2 1.10 ROM.
I had forgotten how unstable WM2003se was compared to WM2005!
The phonepad keeps breaking, have to reinstall from cab files regularly, had to do this on the Himalaya too so it's not the particular ROM or anything I don't think.
Crashes, and lockups, corruption on the today screen that either require a soft reset or messing about changing today themes.
My problem is this, on the Himalaya running 2005, I have many apps installed to my SD card, which is fine, but when I need to use WiFi I need to unplug that to use the SDIO WLAN card, so I am unable to then use many of the programs installed.
Damn shame to let this Alpine gather dust, considering it has 128mb ram and rom, and could run 2005 so much better.
Are there any any newer English ROMs for the Alpine, or should I sit and wait with it boxed up until someone releases something else for it?
I was very annoyed at people working on 2005 for xda2 at the time as I believed that we would get grief from MS about it. It seems that, on the whole, that hasn't happened.
I got a 2i thinking that it would be the next upgrade, therefore when an even newer one comes along - ie Universal - I would be better placed to flog the 2i to pay for it. I'm almost starting to regret that decision as I would dearly love the have 2005 on my 2i...and if I had kept the xda2 I would have been enjoying 2005y goodness by now. Grrr!!
Bring on Universal that's what I say!!

Yes there's other released roms for your ALPINE especially from IMATE and Qtek... So get the Pda2 WWE ROM from IMATE and try to use it on you XDA2i..
Good Luck my friend..

where can us xda 2i owners find th imate rom!?
Yeah, I thought you had to enter your IMEI to access images on the i-mate site.
Have you got a direct link please?
Here!
Many thanks, getting it now
Alan,
I read your thread and have similar dislikes about me Alpine. I have an O2 XDAIIi.
How did your upgrade go?
I downloaded the ROM upgrade but haven't installed it. I am really green at this and not sure how/if I should back up the ROM I have in case I need to restore. Did you do that? Can you guide me on how?
If the ROM upgrade was successful, were you able to install 2005? Again, can you point me in the direction of that download, and instructions.
Greatly appreciated,
Kyle
Try this page, it's about the most up to date ROM for the 2i at the moment. I've had no problems with it at all.
Urm.. you didn't actually post a link?
I am using the i-mate one at the moment, too many people seem to be having problems with the O2 1.11 ROM
True
Sorry, blonde moment there.

I reckon the problem with the new O2 ROM is the radio stack is still the original one. The radio stack on the ROM in the above link is the much better I-mate one with the updates of the O2 ROM.

I’ve been using the HOLUX gr 230 for more than a year in my XDA II using Windows Mobile 2003 and Windows Mobile 5.0 with Destinator 3.075.
I never had any problems using it.
Last month I bought an i-mate JasJar that comes with original Mobile 5.0.
The Bluetooth seems to work fine because I’m using a Jabra 250V and if I turn it off and turn it on again, Windows recognize that the Jabra is on and work fine.
As you see in “display_2.bmp”, HOLUX work fine in the JasJar, with Destinator 3.075 see on “display_5.bmp”.
But, if I turn off and on again, It appears a message on the display: Cannot open the COMPORT as you can see on “display_1.bmp”.
Why it appears a “?” on the left side of HOLUX? (as you can see on “display_3.bmp”).
It the “display_4.bmp” you can see the HOLUX is working in COM 4.
Have somebody already tested HOLUX GR 230 on a i-Mate JasJar, or similar product using Windows Mobile 5.0?
Best regards,
Jose
This might be a slightly 'dumb' question, but - how did u manage to work fine with WM5 for a year, when it only came out officially just a few weeks back?
IF u did actually use WM5, and not something else branded as such (and I am giving u the benefit of my doubts here) - then MAYBE it was an unofficial and/or unfinished product/version, which might explain your current problems.
I have just bought the Holux 236 which I assume uses the same drivers as the 230, and also had some troubles, but haven't really manged to find time to deal with it yet - If I have any solutions in the near future I will let you know.
Good Luck!

As my old trusty XDA11 has packed up, I now have a new o2 XDA mini 's' (Wizard). Trouble is, Tomtom Navigator 3 (as worked ok on the XDA11), won't install. Tomtom tell me it's incompatible, but the guy in the o2 shop assured me that I would find a work-around on here. Well I've looked, and I can't find any.
Can anyone help please?
The Guys at the phone-shops are total n00bs... They even don't know what a PocketPC is. TomTom 3 isn't working on WM5. Even TomTom 5 need a installer modification to work.
Yeah I know, but this guy completely bullshitted me that he knew all about XDA's! Guess I'll have to fork out again for 5.21
does anyone have a windows mobile 6 for spv m700 also please make sure it contains gps and wifi n bluetooth radio roms....if any has this i would appreciate some help to find it thanx
Its worth using the search feature, there are some VERY good wm6 roms for the Trinity/M700, but you will need to make sure you install the orange patches. Use search and you will find plenty.
Plus...there is a section for WM6 upgrades to Trinity on this forum.
Hi all,
I have O2 exec WM5 and tomtom 6 on it. It run very well.
However, AFter upgrade to WM6 , Tomtom 6 will not work on my O2 exec sue to not compatible.
Any advice to make it work, or i have to downgrade to WM5
I have make all backup before upgrade to WM6.
In addiiton, If i wanna downgrade in order to using Tomtom 6, What should i Do? Just run the back up or do i have to run upgrade ( with WM5) agian to downgrade it.
What is the risk for doing that?
Thanks

To be honest, I'm not sure what you are talking about. For starters there's no problem with TomTom 6 on WM6, it works fine, and even if there were a problem you could only take your Exec back to WM5, as there is no WM2003 ROM for the Exec.
If you are having problems installing TomTom 6, then a bit more info as to what the symptoms of the problem are would be helpful to diagnose the fault, and come up with a solution.
Cheers,
Steve.

Thanks for your reply.
After i install tomtom 6 ( it's second time), it is not compatible for this device.
Thanks
TT3, TT5 & TT6 work fine on my WM6 exec... Are you dure you have the right version? The Smartphone one is NOT the one you want. You want the PDA version.
