hi guys! im a newbie... i am wondering if there is a ROM update for Asian XDA IIs?
Thanks.
something i'm looking forward to, definitely.. since the ROM upgrade that was released about 2 days ago dont work on my unit..
Yes pls. I hope O2 releases this much needed patch upgrade which hopefully fix their inferior product to something that can be useful for day to day use.
o2 asia romeer
Hi!
I too was looking for it but so far none yet. The next best thing is to use the cooked rom and then reflash the ext rom.
I have a Dopod Blue Angel but i have last updated iMate Arabic ROM with O2 Asia ExtROM and the O2 splash.
Everything looks like an O2 but with updated software.
My Device Info:
Rom ver: 1.31.00 WWE
Rom date: 12/13/04
Radio ver: 1.06.02
Protocol ver: 1337.38
ExtRom ver: 1.12.925 WWE
Hi,
Little intro..New O2 convert here. Was a P910 user.
I was wondering whether I could get an upgrade as I have been getting these glitches:
1) Caller ID photos is unstable.. i.e. occasionally shows caller photos..
2) Hangs occasionally
My version:
ROM version: 1.12.62 WWE
ROM date: 10/04/04
Radio Version: 1.02.00
Protocol version: 1337.32
ExtROM Version: 1.12.925 WWE
Can anybody help me?????
Well, it seems that we're a little bit out of luck. The official upgrade from O2 is still for UK region only, Asian upgrade probably not that long on the road, just be patient for a while (although I'm starting to get annoyed myself with all this unstability :? )
Hangs occasionally? Mine restarts itself occasionally...
Upgrade of CAller ID software??
Is it possible to upgrade the Caller ID software I have now to a "stable" one? I am having the version 1.17..

I have a Asia IIs and just came back from service center. They upgrade the ROM for me (I didn't ask for it).
Here is what I got
ROM Version: 1.31.00 WWE
ROM Date: 12/13/04
Radio version: 1.02.00
Protocol version: 1337.32
ExtROM version: 1.31.920 WWE
Hangs occasionally? Restarts itself occasionally? Mine hard reset itself occasionally...
Same here
I'm also having the auto hard problem, after sending to O2 service centre the same problem happened again...
They claimed that is a 3rd party software problem.
Yatlee,
Is it possible for you to upload your latest ROM and extended ROM as I have an O2 Hongkong XDAIIs and can probable use yours since O2 UK ROM does not work.
"Is it possible for you to upload your latest ROM and extended ROM as I have an O2 Hongkong XDAIIs and can probable use yours since O2 UK ROM does not work."
How to do it?
Well, My story goes like this: I came to this website which is great resource. Like many others here, I tried using some of the upgrade posted here. I was very careful and just want to try out the radio upgrade, but not the other ROM, ext-ROM stuff. I upgraded to 1.06.02 from the FTP server. My unit was stable before the upgrade. After the upgrade, I got constant call (out or receive) without sound. I had to soft reset to have the unit go back to normal. Even after I went back to 1.02 (again download thru FTP server), I had the same problem.
I called O2 support. They said it's external software problem. Of course, I did tell them I flash the Radio ROM myself. I was about to give up my XDA all together. I sent it into the repair center. When I picked up the unit, they said everything is normal, but they upgrade the firmware. So far, after two days without soft reseting, my unit is still stable and no more call without sound. I swear I will not tinker any new firmware unless it is release for Asia O2 XDA IIs. It's too much pain.
Another thing, the FW I got does not have O2 active which has reported to be a piece of trash anyway.
Upgraded BT to 3900
I'm also wary of updating my unit with ROM that's designed for other countries. That's why I'm waiting patiently for the ROM update for my unit which I bought in Malaysia.
The only thing I've messed with is upgrade my BT from 3500 to 3900. I did that because I couldn't get my Sony HBH-660 headset to connect. Since I updated BT, my headset works properly now albeit with a few hiccups.
hi yatlee,
may i know what're the rom specs u have right now?
Excellent upgrade for me!
I'm from Malaysia and recently has bought an XDA IIs with the 1.31.00 WWE ROM (Rom Date: 13 Dis,2004), Radio Version 1.02.00, Protocol 1337.39, Bluetooth BT-PPC/PE Version 1.0.0 Build 3500, and extROM 1.31.920 WWE. My unit always hang from time to time aspecially when I put various kind of softwares on it. But 3 days ago I've upgraded it as below:
1. Radio ROM: 1.02.00 WWE to 1.08.00 WWE
2. Caller ID: 1.17 to 1.20
3. MMS Composer: 2.0.0.13 to 2.0.0.16
4. ClearVue: 2.4.381 to 2.4.386
Outcomes:
1. It doesn't hang anymore (3 days of uses).
2. Good network signal reception
3. Faster respond.
Now I'm waiting for better ones.
The Radio ROM is downloaded from xda-developers.com ftp with the name KPN_Rom QTEK 9090 Radio 1.0.8.
Sorry for bad English.
My specs...
I've also updated the RADIO with the KPN version. I found out later it's only an upgrade for the GSM module.
Can somebody post this asian xdaIIs ROM here????
Thanks very much in advance.

Hey cyphol... Could you please check your MMS composer version by going to MMS Settings>About tab to see what version is shown on yours? I ran the 2.0.0.16 update cab without any problem but the version on my about tab still shows as 2.0.0.13... was wondering if any body had the same problem

Hi O2inCN, six, leochan2005, yatlee,
Have you backed up your ROMs by SD method? Can you load it into the ftp please?
Thanks very much.
Cheers,
Yeah i need it too! pls upload your latest Asian !!
Looking for input from those who have already done this. I'm ready to go, currently on the latest O2 Asia ROM but having stability issues. Which way did you do it, was it successful and so on. Have been through all the wiki doco but want to hear from others before tipping over the edge!
Thanks
Just go a head & do it :wink:

Thanks Rashdi.
How did you sort out the password issues? Were you able to get it working by using the editfix.bat technique with the xda3nbftool?
Hi there everyone
I upgraded my i-Mate PDA2k to an XDAIIs Firmware the O2 Asia one,
Lucky thing is, that it had an Optus profile, so I can now use GPRS (i never bothered to configure it for the PDA2K) as was a WWE version
One thing im confused about, is that it says on O2 Connect, that there is a new ROM Upgrade. I have the O2 Asia 1.40 Rom, so is there any new one out. Since I have a PDA2K Device, I can't register for O2,
Please let me know, thanx
Neil

So I guess you have their latest ROM
Hey all, I just got given a PH20B (blue angel) from a friend. It's the "i-mate PDA2k". He won it in a contest, it was unlocked when he got it. I use T-Mobile so I put my sim card in it and it works okay with T-Mo's GPRS service.
What's the benefit of updating the ROMs? Will it fix my skype problem: when i use skype i'm connected using wifi but it says i'm not, and insists on connecting with GPRS (which is too slow for VOIP). The wifi connection is fine, i can browse pages etc.
What will i get with the newer radio ROM, newer ROMs, etc?
Here's my current devicedata.txt stuff:
Model: PH20B
Language code: WWE
Operator code: CDL__001
ROM version: 1.12.22
Extended ROM version: 1.12.169
Radio version: 1.02.00
I can download this official ROM straight from i-mate, is it better/worse than what i could get from this site?
For the Worldwide English Build:
ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.40.176 WWE
Thanks.
1.40 is definitely better than the ROM you have. Go for it.
EDIT: the latest release ROM is 1.42 (hint: read wiki) which is better than the released ROM from Imate (plenty of bugs fix, newer application version etc)
If you are using it on T-Mobile I would suggest using the 1.42 ROM from T-Mobile NL, I have been using it for months now and it works great!!!
