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

WM5 ROM on O2 Xda IIs

i want to know if i can install the (WM2k5_v4_R1_pub_unofficial.rar) ROM on my Xda IIs. will it work?, are there any problematic issues there?
Pls update me. ill be thankful.

Hi
There are of course All WM2005 releases still have issues.
It's matter of how desperately you want WM2005.
Check out the Ivan's v4R1 rom thread, and read all about its problems
Have fun

I just want to add something to farehmani just said. You can try every Wm5 rom for blueangel, you are free to do this, but it will be good to read first the comments about wvwry rom and then decide for yourself which one you will try. As farehmani just mentioned Ivan's rom version 4 release 1 is very good one so you can try it. First read , then upgrade.

thanx alot.
there is one thing i want to know more. if ivan's rom dont work on my Xda IIs , can i revert back to my previous version.
secondly, when i try to download ivan's rom, it doesn't start rather asks for some username and password. how can download it and from where else.
i may sound a little dorky here but i want to know about TuMa 1.3 rom too. what options does it offer above ivan's rom.

Whats the best update?

Hello all!
New to the site and new to my xda 11s.
Just a couple of quick questions, what is the best update on here for my xda? Read a couple of people who have posted on here about thier updates and dont really know if i should update it at all?
Also, is there software availible from this site?
Be glad for all your views
Cheers
Ian

Welcome at xda-developers.com,
You can find answers to all of your quiestions in WIKI

ok, just took a look, and ill be quite honest with you, all kinda confusing lol
All im reaaly interested in is if its worth ugrading the software to wm5. I have read good and bad poins about it, like, runs slow, not everythin works, etc
Dont wantg to ruin the handset so other peoples opinions are helpful to me
Cheers

You can try upgrading to WM5, and if you do not like it you can always downgrade to the latest WM2003SE rom there are few good versions of WM5 in the ftp try them and decide which OS you like more

TuMa 1.3, IMOA.
Seems the most stable WM5 ROM, though it does have one of two annoying bugs they are no worse then what WM2003SE has. It's not the fastest on a new install but it doesn't slow down much once you start using it.

cheers matey. Which version do you run?

ok, thanx again for that. Could you possibly paste a link into this or give me some directions on where i can get it from?

TuMa 1.3
Forum discussion -

There is a cool WIKI guide on how to install and use this ROM at -
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_WizardPort_v1.3-TuMa
There is also a new version of this ROM being developed (1.5 as 1.4 was too buggy) but this isnt in Alpha mode yet, so you might want to upgrade to 1.3 now and wait till 1.5 has been tested and becomes stable.

are there any other upgrades?

WM5.0 advice?

Hello I've been reading your forum for the past days and I've read so manyy comments I just get more and more confused.
Has anyone tried some WM5.0 ROMS and can explain me if there's one better then another?
Which ones are still in develpment?
What are the newest ones?
I'm really that newb
Thanks in advance
teh CORE

Which one is best is really quite a can of worms... it depends what you're after really!! (Stability, functionality, added apps, speed, get my drift?)
The newest ones are the AKU2.3 versions... they are all less than a week old (more like 2-3 days!) and are still in their infancy, although surprisingly stable all things considered!! (I use one of these and have had no issues...)
Popular ROM's are the TuMa ROMS (1.3 and 1.4), and the Ivan 4.3 ROM with RAMDisk that thingonaspring produced...
Just try them and see what you think :twisted:
Read the threads, just search for TuMa/Logout/Ivan or AKU2.3, you'll find plenty to read

Have you read the wiki?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
the blue angel wiki...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel
and the wm5 wiki...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home
That said and done i would try all of them. There's a forum for each one. Try tuma 1.3, then try logout 5.4.05, then try ivan 1.11 w/ ramdisk, then if you want to try Helmi aku2.3 but know that it's still in development.
If you want something stable. Stick with ivans. Or if you don't mind the slowness, go with logouts. Each has bugs, the bugs are already posted in the forums for each rom. It's GOING to be slower than wm5, But you get used to it.
When upgrading also know that downgrading can be a *****, but isn't too hard if you read and keep your files separate and clean. Also learn to use editfix.bat. Make a master copy that has your phone info and you can run it on any wm5 rom to make the upgrade without errors.

anybody in here interested in cooking an AKU3.x Rom update for the Charmer?

Hey all
My charmer has arrived, and im picking it up tomorrow.
I recently had the joy of playing with two different XDA II handsets, one with an AKU 2.0 rom update and the other with an AKU 3.5 update on it. the AKU 3.5 both looked and performed a LOT better.
What i want to do is the following:
Cook and release a streamlined minimalist AKU 3.x (any AKU 3 version rom, be it 3.1,3.3,3.5)
however, my knowledge in this department is a little lacking.
is there ANYBODY in here who runs a charmer and has a little knowledge in cooking roms?
I'm thinking it would be as simple as the following:
1) extract AKU2.0 ROM from Charmer
2) Remove 'OS' part from the rom
3) extract AKU3.5 ROM from prophet (as this is the closest device)
4) insert the OS from the prophet into the charmer rom
5) Patch with drivers for charmer
6) recompile and away you go!
is there ANYBODY here who is willing to help?!
thank you

helmi_c is seems to be working on it. I have downloaded his AKU3 rom with nottice that it is not yet designed for regular user - and it really isn't Spent two days ressurecting my poor charmer...

ive been looking at it too. only 2 things ive noticed is a problem with the sound and internet sharing apart from that its seems fine.

well, i'll be happy if you can provide me a copy for testing - i will send you feedback, of course

Hey
well, once my charmer comes back from repair, needless to say, i will be beta testing a good, clean, stable aku 3.3 wm5 release!
dave, could you provide some sort of quick guide on how to modify the extended rom please?!
thanx

Oh boy, if this gets uploaded would i be able to upgrade to it?
I have tried a few times with dave's other rom but had no luck as i cant unlock my phone due to, i believe, upgraing using the tmobile original file. before cid unlocking it. As i understand it i now have v2 bootloeaders which cant be cid unlocked.

Hi
Hows development of this going now? not heard anything, have PM'd Helmi
would really like to release an AKU3.x rom for the charmer, would be perfect!

an have you any response from helmi? waiting for aku 3.x so long

Well, who needs Aku3 anyway if there's a rom with wm6? ;-)
I wrote a mail to T-Mobile (Germany) and asked them about any planned updates for the Charmer. As soon as I get a response, I'm gonna post it of course.

youser, i wouldnt hold out any hope for a wm6 rom for anything currently out apart from the VERY high end like the universal/hermes
i havent had a response from helmi yet, going to wait out a little while longer.
dave106 appears to have had a 'semi-working' rom on his device albeit minor things not working like camera, but im *hoping* that shouldn't be too difficult to fix.
if dave or helmi could please please please please please (pretty) please post an update on the status of an AKU 3.x update it would be extremely helpful!!

well i'll be jumping ship soon, replacing the casing and ebaying up my charmer as im moving onto the trinity.

is there NO hope for any charmer users at the moment?! will you not help us develope a little?!
if you could provide me with a *test* rom, that has bugs in it, i could probably work on ironing out the bugs (worth mentioning that i only use my charmer solely as a PDA, not as a phone)
please dave! we need help from the masters of xda-devs!

Well, helmi's aku 3.3 rom is available on pdamobiz.com. Speed is excellent, but unfortunately this ROM contains a lot of stuff included :-(
If you can live without some regional settings, which are missing (eg. czech), this ROM might be useful for you.
