Dunno whether this has been covered in another post (couldn't find one), but has anyone with an O2 X1 in the UK managed to get the R2A upgrade via SEUS?
SE tell me that O2 haven't released it yet, but O2 'Customer Service' reckon I might have a software prob with the phone (don't think so - everything's working fine from what I can tell).
With R3A seemingly just round the corner, O2 really seem to be dragging their feet on this...

O2 UK R2A was released today on EMMA
Thanks killer8nl - I'd been checking that thread daily for the last week. Gave up today!
Any idea how long it takes to get from EMMA to SEUS?
Also, if I download the ROM, do I have to HardSPL the X1 before I use the 'Kovsimg.nbh' upgrade method as I'm not deviating from the O2 'branding'?
No you don't, Official roms can be flashed without hardspl because spl is already in the rom. So no need to hardspl before flashing a official rom.
Don't know how long it takes before the update hits SEUS. I remember some people who said a week or 2 weeks, but I'm not sure. But why using SEUS when you can flash manually from your computer or via micro sd method.
Thanks! Worked a treat! Now, where did I save that backup...? :-D

Im going to be using an O2 simcard in it, and I have all the relevant unlock utils etc.
Now Ive downloaded the latest O2 ROM to flash with, but is this the best one to use?
I will be soft resetting before customisation, and opening up the EXT Rom anyway, so not fussed about it being O2 specifically.
Anyone got any suggestions?
Oh, Id like it to be similar to the O2 install, IE a single EXE. Dont really want to mess with memory addresses, umpteen utils and the like etc
THANKS
Got a O2 Exec with the latest O2 ROM on it till two days ago !
The only thing I can say is try Ivan or Helmi's ROMs. They can be set up really safely and easily. The great advantage as well is that your PDA will be a lot quicket to react and the new AKU has really been improved compared to the old one from O2. I mean old like really old, don't support ad2p for example.
None left Im afraid, all the ROMs have been downloaded already m8!
Where can I get the latest O2 ROM from then.
The version I downloaded was v1.13.188
Any other O2 ones newer than that?
Thanks
The rom I have is 1.30.162
Downloadable from http://www.my-xda.com/xdaExecSoftware.jsp
But it's from april 2006. So your probably better of updating to aku 3.x
Trying to update my exec to 3.5 soon.
hi, Just received my X1 yesterday. The os rom/radio rom on my phone are older version. I am going to update both of them. I have read a lots about rom upgrade on this site, but I am now confused that nearlly every post saying need to re-flash the SPL rom first before doing any update. My question is do i need to flash the SPL first if I just want to upgrade to the generic rom? For example, the rom on my phone currentlly is UK(probably customised for O2) version, now I just want to flash to a newer verison of UK os rom and radio rom( I don't want to mass up the SPL rom yet, just in case there is any problem with my phone). Can someone give me a answer?
Thx.
the uk generic rom is an official rom. so no need to flash spl. im not sure abt the radio rom.

Thanks mate. I am still waitting for some to help me out!
You need to flash spl with hardspl when you will try one of the custom roms on that site here and when you download a radio from this site...
You don't need to flash hardspl, when you update from s/e update service from you computer
just use the sony ericsson update service (seus)
however im not certain if theres an o2 update out yet, if yours is o2 branded
however, youve only had your device for 1 day! dont you think itd be a good idea to try using it before you start messing? good idea t
Also
Don't forget, my VOda was able to install the GENERIC UK without HardSPL so it's possible 02 should work also, because they don't lock their top end phones. (My Voda UK is also SIM-Free).
hi is there anyway that i can dump the o2 rom from one of my other company phones? i updated my o2 rom to wwe 1.48 5 days ago and since as a result have had the phone randomly freeze, as in just will not power on, i have to reset the phone then it works fine for maybe day to day and half, if i could get the o2 rom could put back and see how it goes as my other 2 engineers have had no probs with o2 1.43 rom
You could try the official HTC 1.43 ROM instead of the O2 version. At least then you wont have all the O2 stuff and disabled wifi router

True, but with the o2 rom, a few of the bugs people have mentioned in launch roms are not there. I.E. notification led is fine, no spelling mistakes and so on.
Mine is 1.43.206.4
Count me in too if someone can obtain an official O2 Rom
I don't think there is any way to dump a rom to use on another phone as the digital signature is lost
Hi
Sorry if this is a newb question and I've missed something obvious.
I'd like to upgrade an O2 branded hd2 to the generic latest ROM using the goldcard method described here. I understand this invalidates the warranty.
Is there any way of restoring the phone to its original state to circumvent this?
Thanks.
I would like to know this as well as im thinking of sending back my HD2 to o2 but cant as ive upgraded to 1.48.
Or is it worth sending back as it is now and then play dumb if they contact me to tell me its not got the original stock rom?
im with T-Mobile and upgrade it on ROM: 1.48.405.2 (71294) WWE - Radio: 2.05.51.05_2 last weeks and never had any prob yet and sim card works fine
Dump your ROM before upgrading. For how to do that search on the forum.
I'm also with O2, & they told me that as long as the ROM is an official one from the HTC website this won't invalidate your warranty
Not sure what the policy is with T-Mobile though
I did find a O2 rom on here somewhere, cant remember where, I havent used it yet, but im uploading it to rapidshare now and will provide a link. So if anything does go wrong you can just flash back to the O2 rom to be on the safe side.
I have returned a phone to O2 before that was HSPLed and they never said anything, but they sent out a new phone and picked up the old one at the same time.
O2 Rom...

Hi all, I have been having many problems with my HTC HD2 which i got with the o2 UK network. So I tried to upgrade it to 1.6 Rom (unofficial o2 update) which i thought may fix alot of the problems which it has not. So I have to return it back to O2 now, so how do I change it back to the 1.4 Rom that this phone came with? Oh yes if you have not guessed im not techy at all, so please explain in very simple language, thanks!
hd2 rom development section, Leo official roms thread, first post first link, 1.43 folder, download one of the two roms that says O2 UK (theyre both the same, of one doesnt work try the other)
connect phone to pc, when connected, run the O2 Uk .exe file, , , this will reset the rom and radio to stock.
Next, run HSPL2 (download if you havent already got it, theres a link im my sig) and in the dropdown list, choose 1.42.0000 OK,
job done. The phone is now stock.
