I'm a noob and just bought an Alpine (used) and I wanted to change my rom I really dunno the term but it's kinda reformat my pc to a fresh start.
Doing a hard reset already has my Alpine an obvious custom progs in it. So i wanted to have it really restored.
I tried looking at wiki but most significant links are dead. Can anybody help me?
Thanks!
Almost 2 years later and the links are still dead!!! Where can we find out how to upgrade/replace the ROM on our Alpines?? I was able to download the "Extended ROM" data from xda-developers ftp but I don't know what to do with it.
A year ago I update links to different ROM's .
Where you have problems with dead links?
It was the links explaining how to use a rom like the extended/extracted rom on the Alpine ftp page.
But it doesnt matter now because I managed to find a more recent official update that I was looking for, for a long time. It was on "xdadev.f1ip.net"
Im getting the Xda IIi ready to sell on Ebay so it's now on version 1.11.169 WWE. Radio is still version 1.00 though but I'd rather just leave it with the official update

Hi All,
Ok, ive been doing a ton of reading on this forum trying to learn about the device and what i could do with and without.
One key thing people say is get rid of all the o2 customization stuff. I understand this is done best by upgrading the phones ROM. I read lots of talk about the Qtek ROM being a popular choice.
I have been playing about with cabs and roms since reading this forum. Currently i have the "RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe" ROM installed on my phone.
My question is, what ROM file shall i upgrade to? Or is the one i am on now ok?
I have also been looking for the task bar program ive seen talked about. Can anyone tell me this programs name?
Thanks for any replies!!! =]

better rom for o2 mini s
I would like to know this too. I've searched the forums for the last couple of days and it's a minefield. :?
I've just got my XDA Mini S from O2 and would like to upgrade my ROM.:shock:
Also what good software is there for this model running WM5. Already have Totalcommander and have tweaked the Camera and opened up Engineer mode but not a lot else.
Can anyone suugest the best ROM to upgrade the mini s to - it looks like we'll be here forever waiting for 02 to release. If someone could post what ROM they have upgarded their UK mini s to that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

O2 Mini S
I am using the following ROM on a number of phones primarily to enable Direct Push email:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/ login xda password xda
Under Qtek Roms:
186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe
Look for one with this in it 2170702_21707102_20710
Only niggle would be the keyboard issue in that it is mapped differently. You can make a change in the registry to correct this:
I also used the following tools:
Under Misc:
Lockiwiz02b to unlock the phone and CID
aWizard-v1_3beta2 does a similar thing but also enables RAPI needed to talk to the Wizard during a ROM upgrade.
MobileRegistryEditor by Breaksoft
Also it may be worth getting the UK_GPRS_settings.zip file to enable the GPRS settings.
I've just put this ROM on my O2 Mini S
RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
And all seems to be OK.
Just bought a O2 mini s. I've seen loads of posts regarding roms.
Any opinions which is the latest & best rom for the mini s??
Any help/advice wud be great! Thanx
Use the latest O2 Rom
O2 have just released the latest ROM pack which you can download from the XDA section of the site. It is working well for me. It is definately better than the original and and the QTEK ROM I was using whilst I waited for the AKU2 updated ROM from O2.
I understand that O2 are delaying shipping the Mini S phones whilst they upgrade it is possible that you have the latest ROM if purchased in the last few days.
This may be a silly question, but could I simply run lokiwiz on my MDA Vario (hasn't even arrived yet) and then use the latest O2 update or is there an IMEI check to prevent me from doing this?
thanks
Rob
O2 mini s ROM
Thanx for the info, i had noticed O2 had made a recent rom updated when i researched the product before buying. Mine is in transit & should arrive 2moro with any luck.
It may well have the new rom, this might be a silly question but how will i know if it has the new rom pre-installed??
When you 1st turn on the device, or whenever you soft reset the device, the rom version will be displayed in the bottom right of the boot screen.
You may also be able to find out by going into settings and clicking the about icon.
Rob
hi marcel
I'm just correcting my previous post the rom version shows at the top left on the wizard when booting after a softreset mine arrived today and is running 1.6.2.4.
you can also check this in the device information applet in settings.
this isn't the latest rom available but it seems to operate very quickly so i'm gonna stick with it until tmobile release an offical update. (or until i get bored and can't help fiddling with it.)
hope thats some help
Rob
I've been reading over these forums for the past week now, and now that I've finally received my XDA yesterday, I'm ready to start work on it .
However, I can't find the answers to the following;
My XDA has an O2-supplied 2.21 ROM version, Qtek seems to be a popular ROM to upgrade to, but is the latest version going to benefit me (speed, stability, battery life, etc) over the 2.21 O2-supplied ROM?
Also, looking over the FTP here, is the latest Qtek version 2.17?
Come on, someone must be able to answer me here :shock:...

To upgrade or not to upgrade, it is such a personal question....
Nobody is answering because we each have our own reasons for flashing newer (or older Roms). You need to spend more than 5 minutes reading the different threads about the avaliable Roms, find one that sounds like it will fit your needs and have at it (OR NOT).
hi mates. is it possible to upgrade my Xda IIs with Windows mobile 5 or 6.? right now it has 2003.
please help me if its possible. or tell me some site where i will get some step-by-step proceidure.
Regards
I know that there is a WM6 for BA out there for a week, but have not tried out yet. Try search around here in this forum first for the WM5, which is very rich
There is NO WM6 for the XDAIIs (Blue Angel).
There are numerous WM5 ROMS for the BA though.
Everything you need to know is here:

There is, and I have it as well, dude. Some Vietnamese at handheldvn.com forum are using it and discussing quite a bit on it. Myself have not tried it out, because I have no time for the moment.
(http://www.handheld.com.vn/forum/showthread.php?t=55894)
link for the ROM is here:
http://www.4shared.com/file/15740822/f5c66922/ROM_53505_AKU_352_WM6_.html
I am surprise why it is not announced in this welknown forum?? Is the one at handheldvn a fake one?

Thanx a lot dude. but is that file is in english? i dont think so. and also it will work for my XDA IIS. and also in case of some trouble. should i downgrade to my old rom.? just let me know. i also have the old rom image.
Yes, English
The forum is in Vietnamese, but the ROM is entirely in English. I have seen some screen shots, and they are all English. Have fun, dude. I am waiting for a vacation when I can make change to this one
I doubt it is windows mobile 6, the guy has not shown the version in any of there screeshots and apart from that, one of the screenshot attached here , dats xplodes R5 screenshot
if i remember well...it was said that the new rom is about 64MBs...however you can download from the link mentioned a 34Mb file in which extrom folder contains a 7Mb camera template cab...
I've tried it
I was also quite doubtful there would be an R6 for our BA, but since I'm about to re-install it, I decided to download it and give it a try.
And I confirm that it's still WM5. Some of the icons have changed, but it's still the same old thing with some WM6 icons.
Some details:
OS build: 15706.3.5.2
the default device name = PDAViet. Which is a known ROM "builder" on the UNI Forum.
Need some more testing, but all and all it seems to be working.
So, maybe it's all new, but it may have a few elements you may care for.
It works...
Hey maaan, thanks a lot, this ROM is perfect... I have Upgraded it at about 30 minutes ago, and i'm trying it.... I think it is not WM5 with WM6 icons, because everything is like in WM6....perfect, wifi works (i have tried to find wifi-net, it found it in 2 seconds...), BT too (i have tried only with my USB-BT on PC, and connect it), GUI is beautiful, nice themes.... PERFECT....
only one thing is bad - there isn't any FILE EXPLORER, but you can install total commander with active sync and then you can search your SD card or memory Phone works too (I have 1.15 Radio ROM)
And one thing which i don't like (but i had got same problem with explode ROM too) : Camera has got one white pixel.... so big white dot on the photo but nevermind..... this is super ROM Thank you again buddy...
So, it is right, it is WM5 with really realistic WM6 Interface.... but still perfect ROM
Thanks for the recent posts
Thanks all for the recent posts. I saw quite many positive applause on this version at the Vietnamese forum. Take care!
I knew WM6 doesn't yet exist for BA...
I'll give this one a miss....
yes thanks a lot. i also upgraded my O2 XDA IIS and its working perfect. great Rom . one little question. when i display my syatem info. its showing 96 MB ram instead of 127 Mb. and also. its not displaying any Extrom version.
i wrote all my info below.. so give me some info about this.
but overall the rom version is perfect thanks a lot.
ROM VERSION 5.35.05.WWE
ROM DATE 05/08/07
RADIO VERSION 1.12.00
PROTOCOL VERSION 1337.42
EXTROM VERSION

Thanks, xplode, I'll keep an eye for you in case you got stuck with Vietnamese
also for great WM6 theme you all can use the brand new Wisbar Advance 3 Beta2 it has Wm6 theme builtin
Explode please, can you upload it? Or is it possible to find it on the web?
when i was using 2003 on my O2 XDA IIS. i perform hard reset by pressing the top power button and the reset button. and now i have upgraded to wm2005 and again i am doing this. but it wont work. its only soft resetting. so anyone know how to perform hard reset. so i will get my registry setting to defaults. cause i made many mess in the registry for tweaking
I'm having a massive power drain issue after upgrading to a WM6 ROM from here, so I need to flash back to stock before giving it another go. Unfortunately the damn HTC site no longer lists the 8125 anywhere, let alone downloads for it, so I'm kind of stuck.
Can anyone provide a link to an alternate site or something?
Thanks!
Here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades
I appreciate it, but the links are ALL bad for stock cingular roms. htcamerica.net is no longer operating, and their new site doesn't list the 8125 or any other variant of the wizard at all.
I'm also running in to this issue. I contacted htc support for the rom and they told me to search their wiki which is worthless. And now I'm stuck at square one. I have the exe for the stock rom but its corrupted when I try to use it. The name of it is RUU_Wizard_225111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship_1.exe just in case anyone wants to find it on their HDD.
Pulling it for you right now, bro. Give me a few minutes & I will put it on my 4Shared site.
Here, bro. Found it in some Japanese website so the Update Utility might be in Jap but obviously the ROM is in WWE (WorldWide English). Give it a shot. I'll keep looking for you if you'd like. IKf this one doesn't work, let me know.

jasongw, did it work?
Just checking up on you. Did the ROM I served up for you work?
If that doesnt work, I found a copy of it on my computer at long last. Here is the rapid share link.
