A method to fix corrupted GSM ROM xda.

Hello here is a way that i have just used to fix my 900/1800 (O2) xda.
You first need a SD Card reader/writer and an SD card.
Download RSU_ENG.exe from here. -- SORRY URL NOT WORKING --
Run the .exe and unpack PROGRAMME B to a location.
Copy the RSUpgrade.sa.CAB file onto your SD card and then onto your XDA. Run the cab file and the program will install and then reset your XDA and then the upgrade process will begin.
I recommend taking out any SIM cards before upgrading cause it may stall it, but even if it does just soft reset and try again.
Hope this helps.

What rom version is there on the dutch O2 side?
You are mentioning a download of a rom file from the dutch o2 site.
O2 Netherlands didn't give any updates for a long time.
Is this a recent ROM?
Thanks
Conrad

Yes is appears to be quite recent.
The versons are 3.15.15 for the PDA and 4.16 for the GSM Rom.
The directory the files are in is only a few days old by the looks.

Thanks
Eladsalad thanks for your work and info

Update disappeared?!
It looks like O2 Netherlands has removed the update from it's server.
Anybody knows where to get it?
FvH

-edit-

ok ive started up an ftp server for probably the next 24-48 hrs so people can download rsu_eng.exe to repair their gsm roms.

FTP IS GONE.

Yes sure you can write to me. Keep in mind though that i am not part of xda-developers, they are the real experts.
Yes, those are both the correct software versions.

thx, downloaded it seconds after you put it up again

btw it's 3.14.15, not 3.15.15

I beg you a pardon,
it IS 3.15.15

Thanks

yes they are english versions.
if anyone is in genuine need of these file in order to repair a broken XDA pls send me a private msg and i will try and help out.

I've tried to upgrade the ROM and something gone wrong.
Now I have a XDA with a CE version but no Radio or protocol.
Can anybody tell what to do?
When I reboot the XDA I get one first screen (with the O2 logo) with only one version nr. 3.16.13. After one minute, above the 3.16.13 I get a R and above a G without any numbers. after that I get a blank screen whit a blue bar on top.
Please help me

Instructions PDF File on how to upgrade XDA to PPC 2003

Hello
Please find this link for upgarde instructions for XDA which was posted at www.sourceo2.com click

If this link doesn't work for any reason i have mirrored the file somewhere else, cause it might require login details
here
but i forget to say it's available to selected O2 developers and beta testers under NDA ( non-disclosure agreement )
This upgrade is only for evaluation purposes, to confirm application compatibility with Pocket PC 2003. It is not the commercial release of the software, and cannot be made available outside of O2 to customers or end users. as the instructions file says
A new release of the OS, customised for O2 xda, will be available later.
This software download is only available to those approved O2 application developers who have been preselected to test prior to launch.

Othman

Hi othman !
In O2 website is nothing about PPC2003.
I am wrong or it is joke ?
Sebi

Care to share? thats what the forums are for

this is a fake
Hi !
This seems like a fake to me...
The screenshots are all from PPC2002!!!
The GPRS symbol is the old one.
Jabba

No, it's a genuine document but using screenshots from PPC2002 as these are incidental to the installation process.
The Xda PPC2003 build is only available to selected O2 developers under NDA.

So, believe me, it is the wrong File. This is Pocket PC 2002
It is version3.17.03 ENG from the 15.05.2003
It works here on my xda fine, but itś no Pocket PC 2003...

I've just downloaded a ROM (version 3.18) for the DOPOD device (Same as XDA). On the website which seems to be in chinese or some asian language it suggests that version 3.18 is the pocket pc 2003 version. Pictures on the site seem to back this up. The screen shots shows that the ROM seems to have english support. Anyway the problem is that the ROM is in NB1 format. I don't have a SD Card so can not convert to NBF. If anyone is able to tell me any other way to convert to an exe so that I can upload it to my XDA it would be much appreciated.
if people want to have a look at the site the address is:
http://52xda.com/dispbbs.asp?boardID=13&ID=3810
you may need to login which will mean registering with the site... just mean decypehering a bit of the chinese.
if you can't get to the above address, the downlaods for the ROM which are packed as WINRAR files are as follows:

Try reflashing the Radio ROM or the complete ROM. Also make sure you have applied the AthenaUnlocker before you do.

imei XXXX
hi thxs for replying ,,,i have tried what u mentioned several times and its stil the same ,i even put back the original t-mobile rom that came with my athena device ,,i dont know what else to do is there like a imei repair tool for these devices? i need this done otherwise my warranty is gone and i cant ring up t-mobile uk and tell them, i put wm6 and removed there software again due to warranty please what else can i do ?

Hi PDAMan,

But this ROM sets your IMEI to XXXXXXX that right? :-/

my imei is corrupt
hi,,,the imei got corrupted upon me flashing it with a rom i obtained from another site ,,,since then its messed up my imei ,,,the sad thing is if this handset got stolen i dont think the network providers can do nothing to block it or barr it and i messed up my warranty
i,ve tried to speak to other engineers about this they dont wanna know because imei modification or even messing with it in the u.k is very illegal but all i want to do is get my original imei back and seems no one will help me or even point me to the right direction of doing this ,,thus i have lost my gps that wont work anymore
.
i tried using the tool called iwizard which can modify or change imei's on htc platforms but it doesnt support the athena its only for older model handsets.
besides the roms from xda developers i have been using since i owned a blueangel device and not 1 of them has caused me problems only serious issue i have had is with mr lumpistefans rom which has made my wallaby device dead!! and i am saddened to lose my old wallaby because of his roms

I'm sorry to hear of you news. I'm aware that IMEI alteration is illegal in the UK, but thought that for genuine reasons such as this some of the phone shops you find round major towns such as London may be able to assist (for a fee). If you take original documentation, like the sticker on the box and the unit to verify that that was the genuine IMEI, and it is restoration that you're after not alteration..... I don't know, someone might be able to help...
---
But just to confirm, if I use the German WM5 T-Mobile ROM on my UK Ameo, that currently has a English WM6 it should operate, and keep my IMEI... the only thing will be the language, which I take it that CAB file you provided will restore, and EVERYTHING will be in English? That right?
cheers!

my imei is corrupt
hi and yes buddy all should be fine like i said this rom is ok and genuine from german t-mobile site and the same rom is available on the ftp developers site ,,just use the the english cab file and your ready to go
and in theory this cab file should work on other foreign language roms also
and i did try to contact shops regarding my imei none want to help they said nothing can be done

Somehow, I doubt it.
There's already a thread on this VERY BOARD, with a nearly identical question. Why, oh why, can't you just actually search first?
In order to get to this board, you had to pass near one that was called Wizard Mobile 6. It's on the same freakin' website as this board!!!
//Sorry, but twice in a row, man. Twice in a row.

Your phone is CID locked,in order to upgrade you got to have it CID unlocked,now if you have G3 device,then follow the unlocking guide and how to upgrade guide posted as stickies in the 'wizard upgrading forum',but if you have a G4 device,it cannot be Cid unlocked,but there's a method 'SoftSPL' or 'HardSPL' in the G4 forum.Read and follow the guides to upgrade to latest wm 6 Roms.
Good Luck

rom update for o2 UK HD2

After waiting ages there has finally been an update for the HD2s which are bought direct from O2.
The update is to 1.72.206.3, if anyone has any more details on it that would be great, but at the moment i'm just downloading and will give a shout back when i've tested it!!
I would post a link but as I'm a new user I'm not allowed, but just navigate to the support section on HTC's website and you'll find it there!!

THanks for the heads up.
It wouldn't let me D/L the ROM - on O2 and on ROM 1.43
I've got a mates S/N and its downloading now - nice to have in your back pocket should you need it

if it wont accept your serial number, then you have one of the rom unlocked o2 phones, so it wont work on yours anyway. (well, it will, but only if you HSPL it)
See my post in the other thread.
