Hello
Please find this link for upgarde instructions for XDA which was posted at www.sourceo2.com click
here
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.
if you are one of them and want's to download the software from the link below using your given User Name and Password.

Hi othman !

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:
１： http://www.aspier.com/xda/software/update/dopod/318-update-files/318chs.part01.rar

4： http://www.aspier.com/xda/software/update/dopod/318-update-files/318chs.part04.rar
Can someone please tell me where to get or how to produce a Rom Image. I don't have a Unix computer at my disposal, let alone be a computer developer... So was waiting for an executable installer...
When executing the Summer Program A.exe file, the program stops and asks for downloading a Rom Image and then to try again.
But I can't find it anywhere. Reading the Rom Upgrade String of the Developers XDA Upgrade, left me frustrated.... Eveyone else seems to get it right but I'm still stuck seaching for the Rom Image..... And Hell, yes, do I want the Developerts version in working order on my XDA :!: :!:
Is anyone willing to explain me why it's not working for me :?: I'm using Windows 98.
[email protected]
Please read a lot more of the posts in here. It is spelled out clearly and make sure you UNDERSTAND that if you use programme a to upgrade your ROM you could kill your device making it just a fancy paperweight.

Hi I have a big problem and i need all the help i can get
I have an XDA IIi but i accidently deleted all the data on it
the opertating system is gone the screen is only showing me Serial 1.0
and when i connect to my pc only shows USB 2.0
I would like to know if somebody can help me out with this and tell me how to restore the software to my device, i have a backup copy on my SD card, but i don't know how to used
Please help me
thanks
[/b]
have to reflash it
how did it happen?
did you try puting any rom version in it or what?
more info is needed
hey
I was trying to upgrade the radio version of the phone, but the version i was installing was not desgined for the XDAIIi , so, instead of upgrading, it deleted of the rom of the device and now the operating system is gone
the only thing i still have is the backup copy that i made defore the upgrade
i don't know if there is a way to use that backup copy in order to restore the system
thanks
Recommendation
It is propably that the system ROM was erased during upgrade and the upgrade wasn't successfull. Try to download the Diamond 1.2 WM2003se(my recommendation) ROM images package(somewhere available at this forums(Himalaya Upgrade)) and aferwards to flash your device with these files. If u want,u can try also the WM05 system.
He said his device is an Xda IIi not the old II.. Well you can reinstall back ur old ROM, no worries.. Download from my-xda.com..
i or not i
I thing there's no matter if is it IIi or simple II. Or not?
How do I fash my device in order to install diamond 1.2?
I also was looking an upgrade for the XDA IIi but now there are not offering any updates, I have tried to install the upgrades for the XDAII but it gives me an errror telling me that the ROM version is different and it cannot be installed
...
If you mean the Country ID Error while attempting to flash the WM05 system,there's a problem of this OS. 2003se is without problem(for me). Simply download the Diamond ROM from this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18287
or directly:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/download.php?id=3739
This contains 4 files(maybe more,but these are important).
-HimaUpgradeUt.exe
-ms_.nbf (Extended ROM image)
-nk.nbf (System Image)
-Radio_.nbf (Radio stack)
Start the bootloader(probably you are there),put the Hima to cradle,Windows at your computer detects your device and then extract the downloaded file into one folder and run HimaUpgradeUt.exe
This utility is writing what you should do.
As I have readed that the WM05 OS is a little bit buggy(some compatibility problems etc..) at this time to use in Hima. Therefore I am using the 2003se.
Thanks a lot!
Hey guys,
I just downloaded the XDA IIi ROM version from the O2 website
My device is back to normal. I coudn't do it without all of you guys.
Thanks a lot specially to you jamil_mhmd for providing me the address
Sincerely
Jorge :wink:
You're welcome
Nice to help you.

Of course it does matter.. Remember that the II and IIi is now a really different device even though both looks identical.. For example, u said he can upgrade to WM2005 (or ROMs that was meant only for Xda II), but of course this can't be done, this is bcos the difference in hardware specs, 4 example IIi has 1.3 MP cam (II = 0.3MP), 128MB RAM, 128MB ROM (II=128MB RAM, 64MB ROM) and so on..
JorgeGZC, I'm glad to be of help to you.. :wink:
Oh sorry.
I didn't know. I'll be well advised.
İ am a mda2 user. İve bought my device from Germany and after that i changed its ROM to an english one using a rom editor to change its country id .. This encouredged a close friend of mine and he bought a O2 XDA2i. And since both me and my friend have no idea about German language we immediately tried to convert it to an english ROM.
And using a wrong ROM (sinmerged 2003 se for himalaya) i killed his machine. It now only writes serial or usb (when connected to cradle). Someone told us that if we flash it with a original German ROM it can work again. But there is no German ROM downloadable . And even if we find a German Rom and install it , it wont solve our language problem. I am a dentist and i even cannot believe how much i've learned browsing these forums
If you can help me i will be very happy!
note : in the ftp server there is rom named german rom for xda2i.. But its a lie. its in english
The same?
That looks like the same problem as at the top of this topic. Just read all this posts once again and you'll get the right way to solve your problem. Hope that helps.
I also have the same problem. I tried to install the wrong upgrade. I've downloaded the new one but i keep getting a connection problem message because activesync can't find the XDA. Help please!!!!
...
When you are in bootloader then ActiveSync will not find the device to synchronise with(cause the WMOS is not running and therefore is any synchronisation disabled). When you put into the cradle,the computer should find new device(Microsoft USB Sync). Then is the device connected and ready to update.
finding it hard to get good answers....so in anybodies opinion
the 02 xda mini s
is there any updates from the origonal 1.5.4.2 WWE? if so where can i get em from?
If no updates, maybe the 02 rom isnt the most up-to-date?? and it would be better to change to i-mate? or a q-tec?...if so...which would people recommend? and where could i find them? also...would they effect my being on 02 at all or would evrything stay the same and just the device will work better?!?
what do people think?
jamie
Hello jamie,
I would think that you should at least upgrade to the qtek9100 rom if u worry that u might not turn back to the O2 provided ROM. Or if you want even better performance, you can use the latest imate ROM. But i read in posts that you cannot downgrade as the loki wizard does not work in this rom.
Anyhow, i'm using an xda mini S and using the imate rom though.
Cheers
I was wondering about this as well. I've got an O2 XDA Mini S and it all seems to be working fine (so far). I don't use it for anything spectacular though phone, diary, notebook and I have a few other apps on it. I also run spb pocket plus and spb diary, again with no particular problems.
I know the old adage, "if it ain't broke, don't fix it", but are there any benefits from moving to the latest imate ROM, say?
tzehming,
You said you couldn't downgrade. Do you mean that once you put the latest imate ROM on, you can't ever go back to the original O2? Also, what's the deal with LokiWizard - is there something that needs to be done before the ROM can be upgraded?
(apologies for the dumb questions, I'm starting to get to know my way around the device)
Thanks,
John

Hello jko,
Yup u're right about having to use loki to unlock the rom. Search it in the forum and u'll find it. Just type loki.
After unlocking using the software, you can then install any rom for wizards, i.e. O2 mini xda s rom, imate rom or qtek 9100 rom. The one i'm using now is the latest one, which is the imate rom. I heard it cant be downgraded and we'll have to wait for an updated loki software to fix that. But the qtek 9100 rom can be downgraded again. I suggest u try the qtek rom as it makes the pda much faster. The O2 rom is really a turtle when opening the slider and closing it.
Hope this helps
Having read the advice above I'm going to unlock my device and flash it with the qtek 9100 ROM.
Once I've done that, what CAB files do I need to install in order to get O2 MMS and O2 GPRS working again?
Thanks,

Thanks,
Can't answer your question, but just a request to post back your experience once you're done. It would be appreciated.
John
well, you could again search the forum for gprs settings. u may not get the automatic setup anymore, thereby may have to do it manually. search for O2 gprs in the forum. as for mms settings, someone made a cab file, I can't remember which forum , but again, it can be searched. Try O2 mms.
hope this helps
I've got the mini S too...
First thing I did when I got it was to get rid of all the o2 crap on it... couldn't believe how slow it was even in basic mode!
I did the whole hard reset then soft reset when it says "customizing..."
This basically leaves you with a bare o2 wm5 rom without any of the customiztion installed. MMS won't work and either will GPRS.
To get these working you need to install Total Commander on your mini S and browse to the /extended_rom/ directory.
The cab files in this directory are the files installed when it says "customizing..." on a hard reset.
You can then selectively install which ones you would like to install.
There is a brief outline of what each one is on the htc wizard page on the wiki but I've made a better one I'm gonna stick on there.
You also need to input the GPRS settings and MMS settings manually and install a cab from the extended rom that creates the MMS folder in the messaging application.
After you've done all this you'll notice a considerable improvement over the o2 rom with all the crapola installed.
I've also used lokiwizard to unlock it all.
Not tried the qtek rom or the new i-mate one... as I don't use push-email or the like and haven't found any considerable bugs yet I don't need to.
I have found naggaly features which after installing the RegistryWizard, NullKbd and a few others... they seemed to be solved!
I recently updated my O2 mini S 1.5.4.... rom to the new imate one and i must give my approval for upgrading to this rom. Its faster, more stable, is much better on battery life for some reason.

Where can I get this. It does not appear to be in the Rom download area (or is it under a different name?)
its in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=42638&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
Well I successfully upgraded to the new i-mate ROM and it's MUCH faster. There's a lot less lag when sliding the keyboard in & out, and the general responsiveness of the device is considerably better.
I've managed to get GPRS working, and I've installed the MMS cab but I can't send or receive MMS's at the moment - it keeps telling me that it couldn't send the message. So I'm going to post elsewhere in this forum and check that I've got the correct MMS settings.
Overall though, I'd definately recommend upgrading to this ROM. Just remember to use Total Commander to take a backup of the O2 Extended ROM beforehand so that you've got the MMS cab-file available to install at a later date.
Excellent. Thanks for the feedback. I may well give it a go later today.
John
Code:
Just remember to use Total Commander to take a backup
Is this the one from Ghisler.com?
I downloaded this but cannot find any instructions or reference to backing up the Rom. Any idea where I can get the instructions (if there are any).
Code:
browse to the /extended_rom/ directory
I cannot see this in the Total Commander Directory list.
Any suggestions appreciated.
Just got my o2 mini s a couple of days ago and I am loving it soo far!!
However, I already encountered a couple of bugs - the system laggss REALLLI bad, like when the slider is pushed out, even when closing/running certain programs the device hangs. Also, I have seen a couple of times where the "phone" application will not load up. In all these cases I have had to do a soft reset on the device.
I am thinking of upgrading the rom - but this is my first pda, and i know nothing at all about fidgeting with the software. I don't want to mess up such an expensive phone so is it pretty easy to do?
w_2k20a:
I too want to be careful.
I have 2 phones, and my O2 Mini S is slow compared to my MDA Vario.
So I am going to try and run an update to replace the ROM on the O2 with the newer one on the Vario, and also get rid of the O2 add-ins which are what slow it down apparently.
I will try this first because I have read about so many problems with the latest I-mate one, and it is not easy to return to the original ROM if it does give problems (although it is possible it seems tricky) - I may the Imate one later if I need to.
The ROM for the Vario (along with others) is here:
ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/ - use password xda
Its the UK one.
But first I backed up my Mini ROM. I used awizard to do this. Read this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=43399
I think that you will find that using the awizard (get it from this link)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=37386&postdays=0&postorder=asc&start=0
the backup part is easy. I have done that quite successfully.
Good Luck.

I try to download one of the radio files, but without sucess and i donw know what to choose
I dont know what to do more, since i use the romupgradeut, but now the qtek only start in the first image where tells the version of rom and hang up, freeze, dont do the all restar.
The only thing that work it is the soft and hard reset. With the bootloader appears usb when connected and serial disconected.
Can you guys help me find a full package including the last windows mobile, the last radio definitions, the extended rom and all i need to upgrade my qtek.
I really dont know what to do more, even the qtek logo image not appear any more.

what are the error message ?
I currently have a qtek9000, and i made my first upgrade late 2006.
I was using XP sp2, activesync, and a software called uniextROM...
Later, I have tried using vista and win7, both requiered installation of USB Mobile Modem Driver and disabling activesync or mobilesync.
so be more precise when you post you issue.
