Can I remove o2 software from an XDA IIi?

Hi there, new here.
Have had a search but couldn't find an answer so:
I have an o2 XDA IIi.
Is it possible at all to reset this device to just a generic device without all the o2 software mods?
If it is does it affect its ability to work on the o2 network (or other networks)- voice and data only.
Also, can this device be upgraded to WM2005 at all?
Thanks
Andrew

hi,
search at this forum about unlock sim tools, so that you can use other networks.
there's no WM2005 for this device.
thanks

Just search for Pug's modified ROM with all the o2 Stuff ripped off. Or install the i-mate or qtek ROMs for this device, as I have done. It works fine, and doesn t effect the operation on the o2 network. You will have to download a CAB file with all the o2 settings off either the i-mate website or on these forums, though.
Thanks

Simpler one is while doing a hard reset ..
when the PDA installing the customization stuff it will ask you to specifiy if your Pocket PC for Personal or Corporate just press cancel
then again press cancell if it tries to install any software then it will ask you are U sure you want to cancel installing 'O2 Mobile Solution SLR' just press Yes ..
thats all
Now your PDA out of O2 setting and customizations ..
NOTE : every hard reset you need to repeat the procedure as it stored in the ROM....
if you wana get rid of all these stuff permenantly used ( ripped-off modified rom ) from xda-developmers ftp site
cheers

Thank you for the replies.
I have tried the soft reset method for now - knowing me I would mess up the ROM upgrade!
Does the job and now looks a lot cleaner
Unlocked too and now running Vodafone...

Just another quick question.
Getting confused as to exactly the make and model of my XDA IIi.
I had a look on the i-mate site as suggested above but when I register it does not like my EMEI number.
I also see the Himalaya/Andes and Alpine all look physically the same.
Which is mine and who actually makes it?
The model no of the device says PH10C.
Thanks
Andrew

The XDA IIi is an Alpine.
You can not register an o2 IMEI on i-mate's or Qtek's website, or vice versa. They are different distributors!!!
However, most of the Alpine ROMs can be found on this website or by Googling 'HTC ROM' or something alike.
For i-mate's ROMs, visit here:

3 Settings

Hi guys.
Ordered a TyTN from Expansys a while back and yesterday it shipped to be here today.
Does anyone know the settings i need to use to get the internet working?. I have CAB files for all other networks apart from 3 which is the one i REALLY need.
Thanks

Hi all,
sorry to bring back such an old thread, but I was wondering if anyone has found a .CAB file containing the settings for the Australian 3 network?
thanks in advance =)

All you have to do is go to setting -> network wizard, select 3 and next. 3 network setting will be downloaded automatically.

Hi,
Thanks heaps for the reply. Reason I can't do that is because it's a Jasjam with the Telstra image.
It would be good to be able to use the current image with a 3 CAB file as I don't particularly want to flash it with the Dopod 838 image. Hope someone can copy the .CAB from their Dopod extROM?

new ROM for 3
hi mate,
dopod has just released a new ROM for the 838pro which (finally) allows us 3 customers to access planet 3 on the 838pro.
go to the dopod.com.au website to download, but u have to register to download!
another tip, when dealing with 3 customer service, ask 4 the modem & data centre team.
u can even get the x-series plans which r great value, install your own skype etc. but make sure u get the modem & data centre team to help, the other r useless.

if your still looking try this

download the network tools, its brillient
hope that helps

Safe to upgrade ROM?

Hi, I'm on O2 in the UK. I was just about to update the ROM from the official HTC site. However on the site it says:
"This is a generic software update. Any additional software or settings provided by your mobile operator or company will be lost. If you require this customization, please contact your supplier first before upgrading."
So by upgrading the ROM will I lose any settings provided by O2 which will be impossible to get back?? As far as I can tell O2 havent added anything to my phone anyway, just thought I'd check on here first.
Also, would I be better off going straight to the ROM forum section and choosing one of the customised ROM's rather than the official one?

It will be fine I'm on o2 and have flashed loads of roms. As part of the initial rom setup connection manager launches and you are asked to confirm which netowrk you are on, select o2 and all your settings will be put onto the new rom.
Make sure you backup your contacts, photos and music you have as these will all go as part of the flashing process.
Also make sure you've got the cabs to install any additional software that you use.

Cool, So did you have to do anything to get your Internet working again on there? I would really like to give a new rom a go.

Yes, you have to press the OK button to confirm that O2 is your provider, I think that shouldn't prove to be too much trouble

As spud_work quite rightly stated once you have flashed any new rom, whether it be a cokked one or not, you have an initial setup at start. You will be asked who your network provider is and you choose from list. Once selected your phone is set up automatically for you, and then you are free to use!!

Excellent Thanks so much guys! I will give it a go that is what I have been most concerned with! You guys Rock!

Question about the telstra T9193

So I received my T9193 today and I want to run it on the Rogers network, however it seems like this rom has quite a bit of stuff hard-coded into it, such as the internet connection details and the quick links on the home screen... Is there an easy way to disable this in the registry?
If not, are the roms for the HD2 specific to a particular version? ie. which rom will work with the T9193?

I got a Telstra TouchPro2 - I just flashed the stock wwe ROM to start and it worked very well on Rogers. I would assume you could do the same with the HD2.

You can remove the three quicklink icons on the home screen using a cab someone made. It can be found by searching in this forum. You will need to create a new internet connection to get your browser, etc. working. Telstra has the default one hard coded in. You could also follow the steps here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=625919
which will give you step by step directions to install custom roms on your phone. Any rom offered in the HD2 ROM DEVELOPMENT thread will work on the Telstra branded HD2. It will also unlock and return all the internet settings to default.

just installed dutty's rom and it worked... you have to keep the original radio rom though... works great! getting 1800kbit/s on speedtest. Very fast phone! what winmo should have been all along ;D

unlocked from t-mobile no internet access on vodafone

Hello -
I just bought an unused t-mobile HTC Hero.
I unlocked it for use on vodaphone.
Everything works fine except that I cannot use the mobile network - although it is apparently enabled in the phone, any attempt to access internet etc fails, saying "this application requires network access".
NB: access is fine using wi-fi.
Support at vodafone suggested a rom upgrade. ROM Download refused by HTC website (upgrade n/a for my phone's S/N, it said)
are the two issues related and how should I resolve them???
S/N (HT98SL903000)
build number: 1.76.110.6146733 CL47212 release keys.
many thanks,
alex

Have you checked the APN settings?
Regards,
Dave

Search for the vodafone ROM on the XDA-DEV Hero Wiki. Or google...
Or, just check youve got vodafones APN settings and not t-mobiles (like foxmeister said)

Thanks for that.
I will follow all of the suggestions.
One point though _ If it needs rom as well as correction of APN - is it worth considering a custom rom instead of getting tangled with vodafone?

Vodafone don't carry the Hero, so there is no Vodafone specific ROM for the Hero.
You've got a T-Mobile branded device with a 1.76 build on it, so my advice would be a MoDaCo ROM, or if you don't want a custom ROM, a generic HTC ROM. If you upgrade to the latest T-Mobile ROM, you'll end up with the "perfect" SPL meaning you'd have to downgrade via a goldcard before you could replace the ROM with something non-T-Mobile.
Regards,
Dave

Thanks again.
I now have internet access having sorted the APN. Much happier now (I got anxious cos the phone I bought in a box from another phone -- bearing the wrong serial number, IMEI etc )
but I'm attracted to the ROM change.
Is there a particular MoDaCo ROm that i should go for that wil allow the usual apps to be run alongside some level of compatibility with outlook and MS word etc?
cheers,
Alex

Well, head to http://hero.modaco.com and have a look. There will be a full version (3.1 IIRC) available free, and a beta of the next one (3.2beta5 IIRC) for paid members.
Try the free one, and if you like it, you might like to donate to Paul to keep him going. Also, that will get you access to his 'kitchen' to make your own custom ROM from the modaco base, but adding and removing things you don't want etc.
But there's really only 1 modaco custom rom (aka MCR), just make sure you get the right one (GSM/CDMA) so GSM for you I reckon.
