I have just got a XDA IIs and I want to get rid of all the o2 stuff and upgrade to the i-mate latest ROM version. Does anybody have a version which is easy to install?
They all install the same! only the ext rom functionality is different.
Try what i did...

okay, now i'm getting an o2 version of cingulars Siemens SX66 and wanted to know the best combination of ROM or EXT ROM to put on the XDA IIs so that i can still get gprs and mms from cingular....the lastest ROM and EXT ROM for the SX66 does not support the camera feature so i'm kinda stuck on which ROM to use...any suggestions...thanks in advance...
I currently have a Blue angel running in the UK on a T-Mobile rom, unlocked and actually running on an Orange sim. I would like to update my Rom and believe there is a new version out for T-Mobile. But prior to upgrading my rom I am not fussed which Rom I use. Are there any recommendations on the best base rom out there in the UK?
Is it T-Mobile, Orange, O2 etc. I know they will be much the same but individual providers sometimes provide some extras etc. I believe O2 has the battery status on the home page etc. Can anyone recommend a good flavour of Base ROM???
I believe that the i-mate 1.42 is the best rom for stability, however the latest t-mobile rom is advantageous for those needing Blackberry support. The o2 rom however comes with the o2 active interface, which many people like however it really slow's down your ppc.
I'd advise you go for the i-mate rom. Hope this is of help

I run the UK T-Mobile version 1.42 and it's pretty fast and about as stable as i-mates, imo. I'd say if you're using 1.42 now, you're really not going to do any better, overall, unless you go to WM5. Then, however, you're opening a whole new can of worms as they're all hacks and therefore slow and buggy, comparatively speaking. You can find just about any rom on this site's ftp server, ftp://xda:[email protected]
You may get the T-Mobile Rom here
I advise that you follow the WIKI for installation instructions which may be found here
Enjoy!
Thanks Mark/Splonker my device indicates the rom version 1.06.00 ENG is this the version number I should be looking at??
Also sorry for the addition. Can I just do a full backup of my device contacts etc and when I upgrade restore?? Thanks John.
So .. T-Mobile and I-Mate seem to have a 1.42 base rom out. I can find the Dutch TMO 1.42 one (I have that running now), I can find the UK TMO 1.42 one, but where is the I-Mate 1.42 one? Can't find it at I-Mate and can't find it here at XDA Devs ...
Between these three, which is the best?
xBackup not in T-MOBILE 1.42 Radio DUTCH ROM
Just upgraded to T-MOBILE 1.42 Radio DUTCH ROM got my Wireless problem solved but have another problem NO XBACKUP how can I install it???
still trying to track down the english version of the tmobile latest rom any ideas/links anyone?? Thanks John.
I've found Orange 1.31 ROM/Extended ROM and radio 1.15 the best combination so far. For me, 1.4x ROMs were slower.
My Best Roms
XDA IIs UK from O2
1.Best ROM so far without doubt for me is the BA_TMNL_14200_119_11300_Ship from T-MOBILE
AND its the fastest..
2.Best ROM (slightly slower)
XDA 1.42 115 T-Mobile Firmware
3. I-Mates 1.40 WWE with Radio 1.13
still had an issue with audio dropping from incoming calls
If you've seen any of my previous posts you'll see the hell i've been in trying to get anything to work with these ROMS, now it ALL works. and I dont say that lightly!
i tried the last 2 factory ROMS from O2 UK 140.237 & 140.242 which is there latest and I had WIFI nightmares with both of those..
Hello everyone,
I just got a O2 Xda Mini S and it came "customized" to O2, in order to make it faster and to remove all the customisations from O2 i was planning to upgrade the rom, after researching in the forum i concluded that the i-Mate K-jam 2.1.6.9 rom is the most up-to-date and faster that my current rom.
Is that true?
I was planing on using the K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship.zip file from your ftp, since it seems like a simple wizard-guided upgrade. Is this the best method?
Also i am afraid to do something harmfull to it by upgrading. will I be able to reverse the upgrade? or perform future upgrades?
Thanks in advance for your help.
I too have an XDA Mini S. ROM version 1.5.4.2 WWE.
I also have a T-Mobile MDA Vario. ROM version 1.6.2.4 WWE
Although they appear to be the same hardware, the T-Mobile is a lot faster than the O2.
I would also like to know if the K-jam update is suitable, and if not, where I can get an update for the XDA.
Are there any problems when use O2 XDA IIs ROM with T-Mobile MDAIII.
If there is a mod to do this, very please to receive from all you guys...
