Upgrading O2 XDA 11s with imate 1.40 rom

Can someone please help me, I am going to upgrade my O2 XDA 11s from ROM 1.31 to 1.40 imate Rom with extended ROM.
Do I need to backup a special way so I dont lose any files when I restore my backup after upgrading to 1.40.

Please go to wiki, the for beginners section, you will find a answer there.

I just upgraded my 02 XDA 2s with the iMate 1.40 ROM, and it works like a dream! Thanks!

i just upgraded my iis with the imate rom as well. personally, skype works a lot, and i mean A LOT better than it used to. i think it is mostly attributed to the upgrade of the radio.

Update successful

i just updated today my XDA IIs ...
1) my splash screen changed to imate... will try to change it to a bettter looking one soon.
2) GPRS connection problems solved
3) no degradation in performance atleast!
4) bluetooth upgraded to 3900
5) radio upgraded to 1.12
NOTE: Ma_updateNo ID.exe ..... gives error on 1st run but works fine when run again! thanks for informing me about this dilipc![/quote]

O2 XDA Mini S - What is the best ROM for Push email

Hi All,
I have been reading the posts on this forum for the last 5 days and just need some advice.
Just got the Mini S and woudl like to know what ROM to upgrade to, various posts mention the QTEK or the IMATE and to be honest I am a little confused.
Correct me if I am wrong, but I need to use the lokiwiz program to unlock the SIM and CID before I attempt the upgrade ?
Thanks
Dan

You would also need to remap the keyboard as the O2 version has a different keysheet. The O2 build with push will be available within the next week or so.

I'm in a similar boat to the OP. Been watching the forums for a couple of weeks and am finally in a position to upgrade the ROM - still not sure to go QTEC or iMate....and now Lord Buckingham throws O2 back in the mix!!
@ Lord Buckingham - can you qualify where you have heard the news about the O2 ROM as all I have seen is pure speculation so far on these forums?
If any other Mini S owners can comment on the QTEC/iMate ROM argument that would also be a great help!
thanks.

I've just installed the Qtek 2.17 Rom on my mini, but now i'm having activesync problems. Not sure it's related, although I am tempted to try the Kjam 2.16 rom to see if it's any better. Will let you know when i've installed it...

I've been using the iMate 2.16.9.1 rom since it came out in feb, and it works fine for me. Dtharby, To answer your question you do need to use lokiwiz to unlock the SIM and CID before upgrading

After hacking around on my Laptop, I've resolved the activesync issue I was having, without going back to 2.16. So 2.17 seems stable, fast and bug free so far...

thanks guys. It's reassuring to hear there's some Mini S users in the UK that have has success with the new ROMs.
I think I'll try flashing tonight....maybe going to go for QTEC (just cause it came out later!!)
One last thing - is it actually possible to roll back to the shipping O2 ROM from these new 2.x ROMs?
cheers!

Need LATEST UK ROM FOR XDA IIS

I'm in desperate need ofLATEST UK ROM FOR XDA IIS. There r so many roms on this site.. but i wanted to get the original UK o2 rom.. also i'm not sure whether i will get a country ID code error or not.. and what am i suppose to do ... pls help me.
I recently bought this phone and i realised that i can't use mp3's as ringtones as the phone would only recognize Wav formats unlike the XDA II Mini i had.. can someone pls guide me with the latest UK rom may that will fix my dilema... I don't even know if my phone is called Alpine or Himalaya... pls help me out .. thanks.

anyone in toronto area.. who can help me out with this.. might be able to give you some cash... lol
guys someone can atleast tell me if there's a way of getting phone to use mp3 as ringtones or no.. (without actually screwing up the phone or making it unstable by downloading wm5)

If it's the XDA IIs from O2 that you have then it's not an Alpine, or a Himalaya, it's a Blue Angel!
You can confirm this by going to Settings->System->Device Information->Identity, it it says the Model No. is PH20B then you have an HTC Blue Angel branded as an O2 XDA IIs...
The latest ROM is available for download from the O2 UK website if you have an O2 number, but I'm guessing you don't... I have the O2 installer, it's 40.2MB, so if you have a site I can upload it to PM me...
More importantly, why do you want the O2 ROM? There is a little app which lets you set an mp3 file as a ringrtone without changing your ROM, and plenty of apps give that functionality as well, MortRing, PhotoContacts Pro, RingoPro etc...
Let me know what you actually want and I'll see if I can help!

if you have blueangel this is the rom for you (the latest O2 UK rom)

hey
thanks guys.. i finally got it done through O2 UK website... wasn't that tough... now i ordered a Tmobile MDA (wizard ).. should be getting it soon... have to unlock it... thats another task..
P.s - I hate the Stylus on this thing.. keeps coming off.. for the moment i applied tape on it.. but looks stupid if you ask me.

Argh....
I have tried this ROM but as all I have tried I got the same problem.
ActiveSync 4.5 doesn't work with my SPV M1000...
If I downgrade to the original ROM, everything is ok.
My Computer say "unrecognize USB drive..."
Any Idea

I use the WM6 TofClock Rom and it works good on orange SPV M1000.

spv m1000 rom ?
hi all and thanx for all you guys for providing info on upgrading roms for the SPV M1000, any way my question is that i love using my spv m100 even tho i have the latest MDA touch PDA , but its screen is to small tho but the m1000 is a good bit of kit with good size screen, and so im wondering if i change my rom from its original state from mobile 2003 second edition to any of the roms listed in this forum, can i still use my Tom software navigator 6 along with think free navi gps, cus it works ok with 2003 edition just fine but i need to know if any of the roms stated will run it ok, also i have found that a lot of pocket pc software does not work on my device infact about 90%, so would any of these roms help? thanx to any one who can help us :>

i think its working..because many have asked for Backlight fixes after flashing WM6 and WM6.1
regarding the Programs not working...its because they were ment for WM2003..now it Wm 6.1..u shouldnt worry about getting softwares for WM 6.1 because almost all the softwares are for WM5 , WM6 , WM 6.1
Hope this helps..

hi totally new to this just got my m1000 and got reading this post Ive downloaded the file how do i go about installing this on my m1000? sorry to be asking dumb questions but as stated I'm totally new this

Do you use GPS? Have you seen the *Hopeless* GPS after 6.1 update thread if you do? By all means read up on what to do first and try out some other ROMs but don't be surprised if you get no direct recommendations to try x or y ROM for best 3 UK performance as it can be a bit inflammatory to recommend one chefs creation over another. I went down the WM 6.1 (official HTC) path and went back to WM 6.0 for a number of reasons, GPS being the main one.

i'm in uk and use pdacorner Ultimate-X.V8 with radio 1.70.19.09 which is wm6.1 and i have no gps issues at all. very fast with no lag.
