Total Newbie but please help

Ok so I got an o2 xda and I have managed to unlock the phone so I can put my t-mobile sim in.
This xda has never had a firmware upgrade nor do I know about such stuff.
Soooooo, what firmware could I install and how do I do it.
As said total newbie but please help where you can, we where all newbie's once
Numbers that flash up on boot up are....
R 1.10.00
1327.10
1.60.00 wwe
Does this tell you the current firm ware ?

We are once newbie.. but we once do research and learn ourself and not sit and wait. Go read and whever you do not understand, just ask instead of for everything to be fed to you
First try reading clicking on the top left wiki

PMSL, oh thanks, whats a winkie.
So I should just bundle into it flash the wrong firmware then post about how my xda won't go past the boot screen, then you can all sit on your selfrightous pulpit and say you should of asked ?

Well, take a look around this site and find some of the threads from people who had no idea what they were doing but didn't let that stop them. They're not real hard to find these days. It will probably be a simple process, but it may not be. When you're flashing the phone and your PC crashes, you yank the cable out, the battery dies, power goes out, the phone falls off the table, you spill water on it and everything else that I've seen happen, what are you going to do? All the answers are here and they're not hard to find and it's REAL HANDY to know the answers, or at least know where to find them, BEFORE you go off half-cocked knowing just enough to be dangerous. So rather than frying your phone and then coming back here to ***** about it, go read through the threads on flashing, read about what has gone wrong and what people have done about it. People that are a lot better at this than you and me. And this is assuming you even NEED a different ROM. I've tried lots and I'm perfectly happy with the stock T-Mobile 2.26 system. Custom ROMs have all kinds of problems not to mention your warrantee ends the moment you start that flash process and you're not going to find many people willing to help you turn your expensive toy into a smoking paperweight.

Haha.. nice to have you joker around once a while.
If you were to be in the position to bundle in a wrong ROM, I wouldn't recommend you to even flash your ROM, even if step by step instructions are given. When you have confident enough to do your research and ask 'specific' question (of which you can do before you get yourself into troubles). Just enjoy your phone as it is.
Read here for inspiration for step by step instruction.

Why thankyou kind sir, LOL

Well, I'm actually ROTFL and not LOL at this!
(But I'm easily amused!)
Thanks!

I'm just at Heh level, personally. It's amusing but this trend of people with too much money bricking their phones is getting kind of old. See "[Release 1.0 RC1] AKU 3.2 ROM" for the latest blind rush to nowhere. *shrug*....it's not my $400.

Wow what activity we have, ok fook the phone lets just take the p!ss lol.
All it was was my phone was on o2 network but I'm with t-mobile.
OK here's a question, can I flash the t-mobile firmware onto my o2 phoone and get a working result ?

Yes. Just make sure you get the right Wizard ROM from T-Mobile (e.g. not Charmer, not Universal, etc).

Having trouble downloading the xda tool from the ftp Any other source ?
The t-mobile rom, is it uk friendly as I have read a lot about the us version me thinks.

Which 'tool' are you refering to? Seems alright with me. The xda ftp sites may go down once a while. You may want to retry later.
I'm not sure whats with US ROM. I think the base ROM should be the same for both country, only the Ext ROM is different with different settings for both country. You may install whatever goodies you get from US ROM later.
Anyway, just to make the point clear, why do you want to use the T-mobile ROM?

What is disscus about this thread..?
Xda II (Himalaya) or Xda Mini Pro/S (Wizard)...?
this ROM indicated O2 Xda II (Himalaya)...

I belive mine to be the XDA II (Himalaya) (o2 version yeah ?)
I am having problems setting up wap ect and thought that maybe a rom upgrade would not only get rid of the o2 software completly but also have the advange of being t-mobile based from then on as that is the sim i am using.
The tool I was trying to download was to upload/download rom from windows base I think, LOL

They are all good and at the same time they are all different. My suggestion is that you spend some time reading. I'm aware that their are alot of pages to read but I think in the end it is worth it and besides you will learn tons.

The basic description of every single ROM are put are the first post of the threads which describes the ROM... there are no ROMs that is one-size-fits-all... it's up to you to choose which is best for you..

Which ROM
I can honestly recomend Faria's lates ROM 3.2 RC1. It is the one I'm using now.

That ROM is great but it is not available anymore due to people not being able to read clear, comprehensive instructions and going on to trash the thread asking generic ROM upgrading questions and pissing off the author. My recomendation until RC2 of the Faria ROM would be one of Molskis ROMs. Before you think about upgrading ROMs.
Identify if yours is a G3 or G4 wizard
Is your wizard CID unlocked
Have you read and reread all the information, instructions given by the ROM author
Read and reread the threads pertaining to your chosen ROM.
If you do this you will have minimal if any problems. 99% of all problems upgrading are due to people NOT following the instructions correctly.

I don't recommend faria's 3.2 rom if you have linux or a mac and do any tethering to a laptop via usb or bluetooth. DUN connections are no longer available in AKU 3.2..they use bluetooth PAN and so far I've been unable to get a viable connection going...if you are feeling brave linux does have a bluetooth pan daemon called "pand" you can read up on.

Wizard rom Upgrade

Hi,
I would like to upgrade the rom on my Qtek 9100 as getting a hermes seems like a waste of time(not enough new developments) Can anyone reccommend a good rom and provide a link to it? - I cant find farias rom anywhere. I have the earliest revision of radio and os rom avail as I got my 9100 last December.
Please help as I think upgrading ROM would be much preferable to upgrading phone.
P.s do the new roms fix the screen calibration and alarm wakeup problems
Many Thanks,
Darko2006

It is highly unlikely that you will find Farias ROM as he has removed it from the general population. You need to read for about a week or two and after that you may be ready to upgrade your phone. I don't know if the new ROMs fix the problems you are talking about because I never had those problems to begin with.
Good Luck,
Kirby

Do you have the info on what was in Farias ROM?
I don't want the ROM, but I'd like to see what he was doing. It's a shame that someone had to be an arse and ruin for other people, but then again, it's as a shame that people let people get to them over the interweb.

The best way to find out what his ROM had in it is to go to the first post in his thread and find the link that will show you his first post in the very first thread about this whole thing. He talks in detail about what the ROM contains.

Dang you are right what a bummer.

No Sound!

hey guys, i unlocked my tilt 2 days ago. since then, i have only been able to place 1 outgoing call, and then i have to restart the phone. this is starting to get very annoying. there is no ringer, no volume, nothing.
Before you tell me to reflash my radio, i did. like 20 times. nothing
Whoever wrote that unlocking program messed up BIG time.....
Halp!

lol. rotfl..haha..sorry man.. just read read read that's all I can say.

why waste your energy typing? if you dont have anything worthwile to suggest, then GTFO

Change your Radio. The radio included in your new ROM does not the right one. do i search and find a compatible radio and it will work

thx capitan obvious!!! did you read my original post? i tried EVERY radio!!

You're not very polite
Besides, the unlocker worked perfectly for many many many people here, so i would not say that Olipro messed around here.but anyways...
did you reflash the same Radio Version all the time or did you try different ones?? I had Versions with which the same problem occured, no voice, no ringer, no sounds. 1.64.08.21 worked for me

Its really funny how you are the only individual that flashing the radio didn't help. And before you go talking about OLI, jocky and the likes that made the program so you could get rid of the bloat and flash works of art that this forum provides, I'd look inward and see if you might have done something wrong.
You know what, Im gonna make it real easy. If you have a 6.1 rom then you need a 6.1 radio. Same goes for 6.0. However some cooked roms are at$t specific and you have to have a at$t radio. A little more information such as the radio you are using and the rom would be really helpful.

haha simultanuous post and NO, your original post does NOT tell WHICH Radio Versions you tried...

While we all understand that you're frustrated due to the problems you've been having, there is no need to insult the people who have created these tools.
Please also understand that the more information you give, the more we can help. The other members are just trying to tell you that what you've told us is not enough for us to assist.
You also have to understand that many MANY people ask similar / redundant questions all the time. The answers are usually the same, and thus, some users are more disturbed by these redundant questions than others.
Finally, ask nicely for assistance. No one is required to assist you, so remember that a bit of honey always gets you further than a lump of turd.

Ok, why did you try to change radios? That rom comes with 1.64.08.21. Did you HR at the "Tap here to align" screen prior to setting up all your apps? Have you HR since this happened to see if it fixed it?

If ur pissed off at him , why are u impolite to me?
Listen and listen good...
YOU RADIO IS INCOMPATIBLE (means not compatible; not the right one).
Find a Compatible Radio that matches your dam ROM (whatever the f that is) READ READ and READ again..and find it.
There are experts and know 30000% more than u on this site..respect their help or dont post anymore.
Worst case scenario...revert back to your old ROM that work and leave us in peace

The unlockers have been used successfully time and time again. However, responsibility for it's results lie within your ability to accept failure and to follow through all the steps properly.
Continuing to lay blame on others is quickly making you lose the people trying to help you.

Holy Hell. The rom you pointed to came with a radio, that I know for a fact works. Why did you try to change radios? If it didnt work straight out of the box then you have a bad flash and the radio section is bad.
Edit:
I did feel bad for you and decided to come back and help but you wont listen so have fun playing with the nice new shiny brick you call a phone. You could get better reception from 2 cups and a string before I come back to help. I'm done.

1. no idea what my original ROM was, now im running "CE OS 5.219202 (build 19202 dutty's) v6.1
2. i used the olipro one
3. it said "phone unlocked" so im guessing it worked.
im not sure if i stated this before, i was running dutty's ROM for 2 weeks, and just recently (sunday) unlocked it.
for all those telling me to read the stickies, there is only one relevant to my situation, and it tells you to try a different radio. i did that. many times.
if i cant fix it, im selling this POS and getting an iphone

General queries before flashing HTC P3600i

Hi Guys
I have a HTC P3600i in Australia. I had a few queries before I try flashing my phone.
These are my current settings.
ROM Version: 3.00.707.18
ROM Date: 07/24/07
Radio Version: 1.46.30.11
Protocol Version: 32.79.7020.19H
Now I wanted to put Windows Mobile 6.1 into my PDA..
1) Which is the best combination of Hard SPL + Radio + ROM to put onto my mobile. Can you please provide links here.. I got totally lost on the forum..
2) If I flash and something goes wrong, or if later I want to put it back with its original ROM (found on the HTC website), is it possible to do?
3) Any other things I should know before flashing the three things mentioned above
4) Anything else you guys will recommend to put in to the mobile.
Thanks in advance u guys

NO the Hard SPL for P3600i (search for the thread) is only the Hard SPL.
As for ROM's it comes down to personal choice. There is a specific thread for P3600i ROMs that work, that is the best place to look....read...and make up your mind from there.

What about question 2??
its tough to get to know all those ROM.. can u suggest a few
thanks

OK:
1. Use the flashing tutorial at the top of the "Trinity upgrading" thread.
2. Flash with a ROM from the P3600I Rom Collection thread in the "Trinity Mobile 6" subforum.
Prob best to just go with the 31XiTNY ROMs as a good start... from there you can either decide to CBF and stick with it or try a few different ones... depends how keen you are on this stuff.
As for the risk of screwing things up, your only risk is first getting HardSPL on... if you can get that on and working fine, then a screwed-up ROM flash won't be an issue, you just start over again.
HardSPL has had over 1000 downloads from this week, and no one yet has reported having trouble flashing their P3600i, so I doubt you'll have any issues I know the first time I got into this I was ****ting myself wondering whether I made the wrong choice, but everything completed fine
Of course, you can never tell what will happen, etc. etc. lol so yeh up to you, but the benefits are definitely worth the risks lol

Funny you say that when people keep asking for a working HARD SPL for some of the P3600i because it simply doesn't work on all P3600i.

4 people out of over 1000 downloads isn't a big percentage. That and the fact that the OP is based in Australia and all of the australian P3600i from HTC work with Hard SPL (as far as we know) put the comment into context.
It is unfortunate that there are some out there who are not able to complete the HardSPL flash, but there isn't a lot that can be done. If you guys are adamant that the phone is a P3600i and the standard WWE ROM lashes ok on it then it should work with the HardSPL from Olipro.

Andych is right...
Plus now downloads are up to 1119 for HardSPL... 4 problems out of 1119 is something like 0.3%... so 99.7% have had NO problems.
I'd dare say that's statistically insignificant, and that the likelihood of this being a problem with HardSPL itself is low... or possibly some P3600i's are incompatible, unfortuneately - either way, if 99.7% of users have had success, I'd say that's pretty much everyone.

Ok..
So for
Hard SPL: I use Olipro 1.30
Radio: I use v1.56.70.11
ROM: any mentioned here on the thread ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399779) recommended 31XiTNY
Is that right??
Also someone was telling me about Soft SPL. He has used it in his Herems. Does that work for us?? and how does it work?

Thanks for you statistics lesson ..
I understand your point of view guys .. but if one day you will be in this 0.3%
and everybody will keep tapping you on the back saying "sorry, it should work.." .. we will see how nice will be me calling you "statistically insignificant"

Robert....trust me....for 12 months we WERE the 0.3% so we know your frustration. The problem is that most of us flashed the HardSPL 3 months ago and as it is a Flash once operation it is impossible to replicate the errors you are having. The other difficult part is the that the Supreme genius Olipro who gave us the HardSPL is not fully engaged in his Diamond projects so I doubt he has either the time or the inclination to offer any assistance....sad, but that is the way life is.
I will re-read the problems you and the pther couple of psters are having and see if there are any other things you can try. I do remember though that you all had slightly different Error Codes, which is a concern.
Anyway, hang in there, I won;t get a real chance to read and digest the info before the weekend....but I will do it and post back in that thread.

If you wish I can provide IM and desktop sharing so that you can watch how I do it ... maybe it is us who do it wrong .. I am newbie in flashing but I have 10-12 years of PC experience .. so I doubt I can't follow a simple guide ...
PM me when you have 10 minutes and maybe we can sort this out ...
