Sorry for asking such fundamental questions but i am new to this site...
I have a Orange SPV M2000 (Blue Angel)
Can I ugrade the rom on this, what will the upgraded rom give me that i dont already have and how do i do this ?
I have looked at the rom pages and can not seam to find an Orange rom, does this matter ?
Sorry if these are basic questions, thank you for your time.
I also have a m2000, was wondering if it would be ok to install the new 1.4 asia O2 rom???
Mainly want it for WMP10 due to the streaming video etc.
Have red some mixed reports about the new rom, is it actually better than 1.31???
ive upgraded my m2000 using the wiki
im basically running the imate roms as im unsure on how to play with the extended rom.
everything went fine without a hitch!
I have an orange SPV M2000, I have successfully upgraded to Rom 1.40 with Radio Rom 1.13
I am a bit of an old hand doing this as i have had a pocket pc since the inception of a ipaq 3630 many moons ago.
What you ask do you get with the updates? well the main reason for upgrading is the increased reliability. far less soft reboots due to lockups.
and a nicer interface with WM10 especially since i have a media center PC and i can automatically synch my recorded TV to the device
anyone needs help with upgrade you can msn me at stuart b ***NOSPAM***@broadbandtap.co.uk
I can't download MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP ?????
HELP?
Just checked the o2 site and it seems this upgrade is now available, not tried it yet but will tonight
hi, which site are you downloading from?
www.my-xda.com
Any news on whether it is worth upgrading to the .171 ROM? Seems as though the radio is back to 1.00?

We are waiting for more info about the new rom!
Might be an anomoly but I tried the 171 ROM modified and my device has hard reset twice, with the original ROM the phone stopped working and needed a hard reset to sort it out, twice.
Think I'll keep to my 162 ROM. How's everyone else found it?
http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_soft3.html
here's the direct link for 1.11.171 - just downloading and will let you know how I get on after discovering that 1.11.170 (blackberry)didn't work with radio version as supplied.
Hi!
When I have install it. It apeared the radio 1.100
So still old radio, not v1.104

that is correct. Radio 1.104 is not compatible with the Blackberry system. This is the main reason that ROM 1.11.170 was removed from the o2 website as it had upgraded the Radio version from 1.100 to 1.104.
Hi! I've just bought an O2XDAIIi. I just wonder which ROM version I should use to upgrade my XDA. Could anyone give me an advice?

I'm using Blackberry and have upgraded to the latest o2 ROM - 1.11.171. If you aren't using Blackberry, try using Pugs cooked version of 1.11.169.
Is there any change to Blackberry functionality on 71 over 69?
Won't be changing if there isn't.
I belive that if your using the o2email open and not the BES version you won;t lose your Calendar options.
We use BES so no need to change then - thanks
Well ROM version 1.11.171 seems to be as stable as 1.11.169 and I don't have to use the workaround to sync Outlook Calendar.
I wonder if o2 are going to release more XDA phones that can use Blackberry - I quiet fancy the o2 Atom but it doesn't list BB which is a shame.
171 ROM is the BT reliability resolved
Symbasean,
Stating that the 171 ROM is as stable as the 169 ROM is a little bit of a two edged sword for me.
When I applied the O2 ROM last October / November it trashed my bluetooth functionality, effectively making my Jabra 250V a large black ear ring and the XDA 11i an electronic chocolate tea pot, for use in a car.
Can you sense my frustration with O2, who offered me £10 off my next bill as compensation and then didn't give it to me.
I switched to one of PUG's home cooked ROMs and this has been 80% successful, but randomly fails to deliver the sound.
His version has been a saviour, but would the 171 be an improvement for the BT stability and reliability?
Sorry for the incredibly rambling first post. :?: :roll:
I upgraded to the new software last night and have noticed one small annoyance. I used to be able to to deactivate GPRS by clicking the connectivity icon in the title bar and tapping disconnect. Now the disconnect option isn't there for GPRS. Eventually I discovered that I could turn off GPRS by holding the end call button.

two points:-
1. please spell my name correctly.
2. "Well ROM version 1.11.171 seems" - note also the word, "Seems". I make no direct comparison on stablity, only that mine has not crashed - caveat empore......
Apologies
Symbaseian
Sorry for the mistake.
I shall try the ROM and see.
I have to agree caveat emptor is an appropriate warning with this particular device.
If it worked as well as it is should, straoight out of the box, it would be excellent.
But it does have some way to go, and without the likes of these forums, it would not happen.

I totally agree. When I first got one of these I couldn't use TT3 let alone TT5 without it locking up all the time if I used anything other than my old 128mb Compaq SD card, but having listened and learned on this forum and also on pocketgpsworld I now have a stable XDAIIi with blackberry.
It's taken a long time to get to where I'm fully happy with the device (except camera performance - but I very rarely use that anyway) often involving Tomtom tech support, o2 tech support and these forums. If you feel happy using Pugs ROM version without blackberry please go ahead, but for me that's not an option.
It's just a shame that we have had to co-develope to get a product that is finally starting to show everything that it first promised.....
I have tried searching everywhere but i cannot find anyone with a similar problem.
I have an o2 XDA 2s which so far has been the best phone PDA i have used.
However, I have one small problem sometimes which happens about once in every ten calls i answer or dial, I cant hear anything the person on the other end is saying and they cant hear me too. However, I am able to make/recieve calls as normal if i do a soft reset which takes about 2 mins, rather irritating. Has anyone had a similar experience? Its just so fustrating when the phone is such a superb phone that this rather small problem happens.
Please can someone advise me on what the best thing to do is, I have tried a hard reset but this has not solved anythinga and the problem remains.
Should i try upgrade using the upgrades provided for the XDA 2S on the o2 site? i understand this flashes the ROM or something. Is this easy to do and is there a chance of doing worse damage when flashing? also my XDA which is an O2 phone is unlocked onto all networks, i.e. orange, tmobile, vodafone, does this mean if i flash the rom that i will lose the unlocked networks and be stuck on O2? I would be very grateful if someone could advise a newby as to how i could rectify this problem on what otherwise is a superb phone.
Thanks

I use 2 Blue Angels with 2 ROMs 2 versions at the same time,one is WM2003 radio 1.13 and the other is WM5 radio 1.15.Both face the same problems as yours.
After I uninstalled O2 Active user interface from both Blue Angels,that problem was fixed.
If you have O2 Active user interface installed,remove it and see if it is fixed or not.
:wink:
I've had the same issue on my Orange M2000. Apparently it's bluetooth related and a couple of ROM updates do actually improve it.
Re: XDA 2s
thanks for your response, how do i find if i have O2 Active user interface on my phone? or whether it is installed on my phone? and how do i remove it?
Im sorry i am a newbie so all this is new to me, but where theres a will theres a way!
Thanks
I don't think it's anything to do with the O2 software; the same problem affects Orange devices. Try updating with the official updates, if that doesn't work search the forum for "silent call" and you will hopefully find someone discussing which ROMs are the best for this issue.

1) What firmware are you using.
2) Do you use bluetooth or wired headset
2) Why is this so URGENT sounds like you've had the problem for a while.
mic/speaker
I permanently keep my bluetooth on which so far is working...
I have an XDA 2s
rom version 1.40.00WWe
Radio Version 1.15.00
I have not flashed or hard reset my phone asi thought it may make things worse!
Update with the O2 D/L...
As you have XDA IIs, and are on O2 why not update with the official update from O2? It'll upgrade your ROM and fix a couple of known issues with the PDA... I used this 'new' ROM for some time before flashing to WM5, and it worked flawlessy. even with the O2 Active installed (which is bloatware anyway!)...
You can find it here
Or you could flash with a base ROM and use a Cooked Ext ROM to get the apps you want, or take the plunge and get WM5!! It's all in the Wiki, and quite simple if you read a little
Check this out, HTC today released an updated ROM for HTC S730!
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=47&cat=2&dl_id=407
This ROM only seems to fix one bug
"
Improved 3G network performance
Sometimes the network signal strength may show good reception but its not possible to call out or receive any phone calls.

Where is the official WM 6.1 upgrade?
Would be better if they had upgraded it to WM6.1, but at least they are showing some kind of support....
seems they have fixed a non existing problem. (if you would ask me)
How about memory problem? Video driver absense?
gr. Rob
same here. Never had this problem with any rom.
Disappointing.
can anyone upload the Official HTC ROM please!!?!?
is there anyone out who tried this ROM ? brings it improvements about memory-management ? my Wings cannot start Navigon Mobile Navigator because of too few memory.

Hi
There isn't coming any 6.1 update for this phone. On the swedish site www.mobil.se there was a couple of weeks ago a chat with Christer Högström from HTC.
I asked him when the 6.1 update was to be released and the answer in swedish was:
"Det var planerat att uppgrader S730 till Wm6.1 men med den minnes kapasitet som finns på produkten blev det lite svårt att ge kunden en bra upplevelse. Där emot kommer vi med en Standard uppdatering till S730 om ca 2 veckor som förbättrar radio stabiliteten."
Quick translation: It was planed to upgrade s730 to WM 6.1 but with the memory capacity on the product it became hard to give the user a decent user experience. But we will come with a standard update that will improve radio stability.
Heres is the chat: http://www.mobil.se/ArticlePages/200810/28/20081028094638_MOB813/20081028094638_MOB813.dbp.asp
Sorry guys!
Only radioversion changed?
Same experience with RAM here. Seems to me they only changed the radioversion and left the ROM unchanged.. Or am I wrong to expect the ROM version being changed when updated?
Seems like the battery-life however is a little extended as far as I can tell from a single day of light/medium usage.
"It was planed to upgrade s730 to WM 6.1 but with the memory capacity on the product it became hard to give the user a decent user experience. But we will come with a standard update that will improve radio stability."
@gnuda: thanks dude. A question obviusly comes out now: "why the memory capacity of S730 is so lacking?" and ofcourse, "why the same memory capacity for S710 is not so lacking?"
hi all how can i get update rom on x02ht i used the rom from wiki but i always get error 207 i tried using xp same thing error 207 update error file currupted

bad news - but thank you for answer. its crazy - my old MTeoR had less RAM and all programms worked perfektly
so, the only changed in this update is radio huh?
for me, at least, the settings screens have changed slightly. seems also to fix the problem it describes with the 3G
No update available on dutch HTC-site
Hi all,
There is still no sign of any Rom-update on the dutch HTC-site...
Maybe they are prepairing it, because the tabs on the site are changed recently..but besides that they only offer some fancy ringtones up till now.
My wings (S730) suffers from the described 3G-problem, is it save to use the UK-version and am i able to change the language/settings to dutch after updating?
My radioversion shows 1.58.17.02 now..
can anyone extract the radio so we could _at_least_ take the benefit of this crappy upgrade?

You can download the upgrade from the worldwide-website (or Europe) and when you've upgraded your device change the language back to Nederlands. Your radioversion will then be 1.60.43.19. It works for me (Dutch too).
Btw I recieved an email from HTC yesterday in which someone from HTC Europe mentioned that a 6.1 ROM upgrade should be available for downloading on the HTC-website that should solve the issue with my pda
Assuming one's talking about the RAM memory-leakage-issue that I emailed them about some time earlier this year, it's a bit of a strange email.
Probably they prefer to the radioversion upgrade which isn't solving the memory-leakage at all.
I'm still wondering what issue this upgrade should address.. afaik anyone in this room has ever suffered issue this update pretend to solve.
at least for me it gives much longer batterylife on 3g networks..
I don't know if that is what it was suppose to fix though :=)
Actually it did solve a lot of things for me. The main problem was that i could not receive/make calls whatsoever. I know due to Vodafone sms that i receive that i missed a call, but phone didnt register, and i couldnt make calls sometimes as well. As far i know it fixed the issue, also the battery life i would too think its better, but still needs to be checked further. Now if somebody could integrate new rom to WM 6.1 it would be awesome.

Thanks Nightcrow,
I've tried to download the update, no luck so far because "service unavailable temporarly due to maintenance" on both the Europe and the UK-site
Up to now i've missed a lot of calls due to very low signals on 3G, when i switch back to normal GSM-mode i always have full signal but of course my data connection is limited to GPRS then..
Edit: I just succeeded in downloading and upgrading..the whole weekend i was trying to, but it was a stupid mistake of me (i've included the extra D in my serialnumber, and it was not recognised..)
Hi,
I have a XDA mini S (G4). Every time I flash the Phone with a WM6 ROM there are Problems with the Radio (It takes much longer to connect to the Network and the reception is not so good), the Bluetooth doesn't work correctly, everything runs slower and sometimes the OS just crashes. There is only one good thing about WM6: it looks much prettier. Now i want to flash the original O2 WM5 back, but at first I want to remove the JUNK O2 added to the OS. Now I'm searching for a program to modify WM5 ROMs, but I need some advice, I don't want to ruin my phone.
Are you in the UK?
Hi, I assume that you are in the UK since you mention O2 and mini s. Also, what WM6 rom are u using? I have just put XM6r5.1 on my uk mini s (both G3 and G4) and upgraded the radio to the T-Mobile 2.19.11 UK This works (so far) perfectly. (On contract and pay&go). May I suggest that you have another try before you give up and return to WM5. I am a noob, so this may be wrong, but I think the O2 stuff you mention is in the extended rom and unlocking this is not possible on a G4. There might be some way to prevent the OS from using it but for that answer you need an expert! Best regards
