I have the Offical O2 (UK) PPC 2003 (4.01.12 ENG) Rom!!!

I have just got my xda back from being fixed by O2 and they seem to have upgraded my rom.
Before I sent the xda to them the rom was simply the latest ppc2002 rom from their website.
However now everything has changed and my rom version is 4.01.12 ENG
This seems to be an official release form O2 as I have their auto configuration and boot screen.
My bootloader has also been upgraded to V5.22.
I have backed up the rom using XDATools and hope to upload it to the site although its approx 31mb.
This seems to be all official and what everyone has been waiting for however if i've completly missed the point please let me know (politely please )
As an added note I have two broken xda's for sale: -
1) A 64mb XDA with the above rom installed. The screen is smashed, and will need replacing, or you could just use the motherboard in another xda. The unit does not charge for some reason, possibly the fuse which is a simple enough fix.
2) A 32mb XDA with the above rom installed. The screen is intact, however will most of the time it will only display lines, you can get a screen sometimes but this is very rare. It must be possible to fix this, but its way beyond me. Again the motherboard has been tested in my other xda.
Please email me at [email protected] if you would like to make me a serious offer.
Thanks
Martin.

So how do the rest of us get it. Do we have to send our XDA's back to O2?

So did you uploaded the ROM yet? can you provide us a link? thanks

thanks for the file, sorry bout my doubt but it took so long.. so anyone tried this yet? does it work with asian XDA1? im still downloading it. it will take some time for me coz im using dial up thanks.
::adit

great !
it IS real :shock: thanks Martin
how on earth we only found out right now ?
any insiders ? is it gonna be official or it's an old tryout from O2 ?
It HAS wmodem but I connect through Irda (i have no serial on my notebook).
Can someone try and confirm that it works on Irda on Windows XP
Steps for using wmodem:
1. install ircomm2k from http://www.ircomm2k.de/english
2. add a new modem (manual selection Standard 32600 bps) on the new com installed by ircomm2k
3. add to AT commands AT+CGDCONT=1,"IP","apn","",0,0
4. create a new DUN with the number at *99#
5. use if there is any username/password
Mine works fine but I cannot connect. It does communicate and ends on "verifying password" step.
Any help ?

thats great!! thanks very much martin,what about the auto config? does it show any asian provider? such as thailand AIS, DTAC or indonesian indosat, telkomsel, etc? thanks in advance...

Normally this should happen Automaticly, since the CallerID.CAB fiel is int eh startup directory....
But it's a nice trick to get it working...
[edit]
Soory, forgotten to mention, that this ROM is now available in the Kitchen. I also tried to get the Autoconfigration working. Cooking went fine, but i didn't have the possibility to test it.
So fell free and test this ROM with Autoconfiguration......
Check http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org

Stefan

great !!!!
i test it in this afternoon it have a bug in this rom .... may be A30.09 much more better thx for kindly
martinbickley
ps. i check in rom update O2. it have 3.17.03 only where is 4.01.12 come from ? ....

Whats wrong?
Hi, i just installed the ROM and now it works perfectly well, caller ID installs automatically at the startup when the welcome screen appear after the upgrade? XDAMAN, what was the problem? i am using DTAC provider (okay, theres no autoconfig so i had to set up everything manually) everything works perfectly well? i feel its a lot more faster than other ROMs i tried (Siemens ROM, T-Mobile, betas, etc) the best ROM i've ever used!thanks again martin
::adit

i decide to cook this rom from stefan kitchen ... and it's no have bug anymore ... Great . i garantee it.
but i didn't check battery lifetime .. who can tell me . is 4.01.12 better than other rom .. ?
ps adit please u email to me at [email protected] ? may be i have a new xda user friend... : )

I'm really in love in this forum :lol: Thanks to Martin for uploading this new Rom and to Stefan for the hard work on his Rom Kitchen.

Artemis: Wifi after upgrading

Hi there,
I plan to flash my Dutch ROM (Artemis T-Mobile NL) with an English one. We are the lucky ones to have WiFi enabled functionality by default.
For anyone reading this forum, it is clear what are the steps to do that. Can some one tell me if the WiFi functionality is still implemented in the new ROM (DOPOD or HTC ...)
Cheers,
Resita

i think so,did the dopod and htc and can stil switch wifi on and of

CID unlock first before trying to flash a rom... Don't BRICK IT!!!
That's a holy device!
Thnx

i am running the dopod rom on my hero. seems all wifi stuff is there, but naturally not running on hero due to missing hardware.

WLAN
DOPOD ROM includes all WLAN functionality.
regards.

Many thanks
I can only say THANK YOU. I'll give it a shot this evening.
Cheers,
Resita

And, did it work?
I'm considering to do the same.

Flashing a new ROM

Hi!
I`m new to this scene and quite a newb. I bought my MDA Pro (as far as i know, it`s equal to the Universal) yesterday from a friend and i`ve already unlocked it.
Now i`ve stumbled across this great forum. There are many ROMS on this page, and, to tell the truth, i don`t have a clue about the whole stuff...
Could anyone be so kind and tell me, which ROM is the "best"? I would like to use a stable ROM, that`s properly working with Bluetooth (because of my GPS Mouse and BT Headset) and, of course, WLAN. And it should work a bit faster than the original ROM, if possible.
And... what`s the difference between the Mobile Windows 5 and 6? I´ve read something about issues on the Bluetooth functionality?
Edit: Currently i have the Radio 0.0.0 Rom (or something in that way) on my Universal. Do i have to update that Radio ROM thing too?
Thanks a lot for the answers
Chris

Ok... Now i`ve tried two different FWs on my universal.
the Qtek Firmware and a FW that`s called Jasjar after i read about its benefits...
Both ROMs won`t work with my Provider... I can find some Providers like A1, T-Mobile and ONE but 3 (Hutchinson 3G or something like that) won`t show up...
Does anyone know this problem? Or can you tell me, which Custom ROM is the "best"?

To be honest, I've tried them all, and at this point I am tired of changing. You only have 2 choices anyway, so here are my experiences:
1st: IF you are looking for an Official WM5 ROM that supports AKU2 and A2DP, stick to this 2 only, because they are the most stable and fully functional, even VIDEO CALLS:
1) QTEK ROM 1.30.77
2) TMobile NL ROM 1.30.115
2nd: IF you are looking for Cooked WM6 ROMs (ALL WITH NONFUNCTIONAL VIDEO CALLS), there are alot of them, but here are the important ones to always try:
1) Dark Force ROM
2) JWright's ROM
3) PDAViet's Modification of Dark Force ROM
4) Helmi's ROM (either his release or through the kitchen)
5) Laurentius26 ROM, cooked from Helmi's kitchen.
6) Grayme's ROM, cooked from Helmi's kitchen.
Personally, I am using the TMobile ROM. I am tired of trying ROMs. I have not enjoyed my Universal for months, because I keep looking for the perfect ROM. Guess what? It all depends on what you prefer.
As for the WM6 ROMs. I prefer PDAViet's Modified Dark Force ROM or any Dark Force ROM. Why? It lacks the FREEZE bug after a soft reset. JWright was able to address the issue, but his ROM do sometimes hang after a soft reset. But, as I said, it all depends on what you prefer.

Considering above factors I too agree that for months I am not very happy with wm6 since it got out. Loads of problems, and not a single one is perfect.
So I guess I am gonna downgrade to WM5.
Since I have a Imate Jasjar it would be AKU3.3 of Jwright which was steady or if you could suggest which one.
at least I will be able to use my mac with missing sync and video call is there too.

If you are looking for a stable JWright ROM with VIDEO CALL functions. Look for JWright's AKU 3.2 ROM. It has 31MB free Main Memory after soft reset, but the problem is: IT IS NOT GOOD IN MEMORY HANDLING after you install apps. I could not pinpoint a specific app, because I tried installing different apps after a hard reset, and I always ended up with a memory leak. You can try, you might be lucky and not have the memory leak.
Jwright did not release a WM5 AKU3.3 only AKU3.2.....Look at the very end of his thread, I posted a link for all to download.

Thanks. Which was the best aku3.3 and idea.Do you have a link to Helmi's 3.3 or 3.5 Aku. I will surely go to the end of the thread you indicated.

Sorry, I have no link for Helmi's 3.3 nor 3.5. I believe I preferred Helmi's 3.3 than 3.5 better. I could not remember as that was about 6 months ago already. I am definitely sure I did not like his 3.5 release though.

Thanks for the answers!
@aniel1: Here`s the Link for Helmis 3.5.
http://rapidshare.com/files/6981008/Helmi_UNI_AKU3.5_v1.3.rar
@cktlcmd: I guess the JWright ROM wouldn`t be the best choice for me. If it`s true, what you say about the memoryhandling. I want to use TOMTOM with the Universal, so i can finally get rid of my old PDA.
Oh, and you recommend the danish T-Mobile ROM.. Which language is used for this rom? Could be a problem since I only speak english and german I`ve already tried the austrian (original) T-Mobile ROM (Yes, I´m from Austria ^^) which hasn`t worked with my Provider too. But the Colors of this ROM are disgusting and the ROM is only AKU 2.0. (It`s working well, but the speed is quite moderate without any tweaks)
It`s sad, that you are discontent with your Universal. All in all it looks quite formidable to me. If there wasn`t the problem with my Provider. I`ve called the hotline today, and they told me, that it may have something to do with the UMTS functionality of my SIMCard. Tommorow I`ll go to the ProviderShop and change the SIMCard. I hope this will work.
P.S.: Could you tell me the difference between the RadioRoms? There are so many of them. Are they country related or are they all (essentialy) the same?

MMS

Does MMS not work with Faria rom? Because mine won't send/recieve.

First question is which Faria ROM? AKU 3.3, WM6 "the real thing", WM6 Vanilla, or something else???
Second question is, did you run the GPRS and MMS cabs (or use your providers website for setup directions)? Most custom roms do not setup GPRS and MMS settings since every provider is different (the Faria AKU 3.3 actually sets up GPRS for most providers, so thats sort of unique, but MMS still isn't setup as I recall).
Tell us what provider you are on and someone may have the cabs for you... I've posted the Cingular setup cabs in my new rom (link is in my signature for Crossbow Reloaded), and I have a link to an entry by someone with T-Mobile US instructions (both of those are in the 3rd post of the Crossbow Reloaded thread).

Thanks for being a pal.
But um, I believe it's Faria ROM. I have a G4 Device, so I had to use shelltool to flash it. But anyway, GPRS seems to work, it connects and sends and stuff.. but when I try to send MMS it stays at 0% and just says unable to send. I am using Cingular, and If you could, could you find me the default MMS.cab or the MMS settings that I could set.

The same problem...
Is the same problem that affect to me.
Can see the mesages in the server but i cant downladed that.
The % is ever the same... 0%, for send and for download.
The soft in my PDA is Arcsoft.
Any idea?
The settings are correct, are the same set that others comons phones.

No MMS on my HTC cht 9000!

I am looking for the latest english rom for a Dopod Cht 9000 that I purchased from overseas. I flashed the rom to accept all roms & carriers, and also installed an english rom. Now I canno send or receive mms (picture messages). Can anyone point me to the latest english rom WM6 so that I will again have mms capabilities. Everything else works great and I love this phone.

You need to put arcsoft mms config on your phone. Here, run this on your phone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=88058&d=1211735066
Then run the carrier config wizard (if you have it in the rom you are using, most cooked roms do). Otherwise use the search function to find the connection wizard. Run this and it should set you right...
Cheers...
