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
whats a radio rom? iam a total pocket pc noob.....i have the 02's version of the KJAM...iam not sure what its called(XDA MINI S ??? hopefully someone here can tell me)....i want to upgrade my devices rom to one of the tweaked roms mentioned of this forum.....any idea which rom would be best for my device ?? also how do i know if my device needs to be unlocked ? iam in Pakistan and can use any SIM i want so does that mean its already unlocked ?
(i sincerely apologize if iam posting this in the wrong section)

You might be posting this in the wrong section of your brain The guys n gals on the board are generally a happy and helpful bunch, but we always prefer for you to make an effort, even the most feable attempt at failure, before asking questions asked a septendecillion times before.
Have a look at the index page, and you can probably match your device to a picture of your phone. Read the rules on the board (posted in the General thread). And please read everything you can on the wiki, or even google for it.
Basically, the radio rom is the bit that does the radio bit of your phone - communicating with the phone (which is basically a "radio"). You shouldn't need to upgrade the radio part of the phone if you're having no problems.
Upgrading the OS part of the phone will give you new software etc. But the radio is normally fine unless you specifically know that there's a better version around.
But read first, ask questions later.

Well, apparently there is no way to tell if your phone is CID unlocked just by looking at it. you can check out the thread about unlocking your device that-s in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and do it. it doesn't hurt, and then you can be sure you have an unlocked device.
then you can flash any wizard ROM you like (provided you do have a Wizard, of course )
enjoy!
Yea just follow the guide. its pretty easy.
ok one last thing....my IPL and SPL are both currently 1.05....so do i need to downgrade first or can i just flash a new ROM straight away ?
anyone ???

Hi there, sonny.
Yes, it is possible.
So far, my reply is the only one you will get, because these s*ckers seems to have something against noobs.
anyway, if you don't understand the steps in the wiki, i can give you a hand, and help you, stuff i never got from those guys.
Thank you a lot, can you put the principal steps to make a good rom update in the forum ???
thank
help

its not some are againts noobs, everyone is here to help, and learn, but if someone is asking the same set of questions which are answered several times in the forum or mentioned in the wiki, then......................
Yes I understand but I'm not totally sure about what I have readed in the wiki and I don't want to break my Blue Angel because it's an expensive phone. So if someone can just give me some steps to do a good rom update it would be very cool
If i would act like that on my 2 forums, for sure they would be empty right now.
And i never got help here!
All i know now, and have my BA in less than a week, i took the risk to try!
Nicely, I have now one great rom, and the PDA at his top!
Everyone can read the wiki, yes, thats true, but is very normal someone have doubts, is afraid, etc!
Beside following the wiki steps, it is important that you have the battery charged, and the minimum amount of programs running on the computer.
Those 2 basic steps will help a lot.
Well you guys want too much don't you think ?
Why don't you ask HTC or Microsoft for a guide with simple steps and pictures ?
I will answer the above question - because they won't bother to make it, operators have rom upgrading guides, if you know basic procedure you will have no problem using MAUpgradeUT_NOID.exe for upgrade, it is written all over the board, but someone should read it.
Everyone has more or less fear when he upgrade hes device for a first time, here was the same, i took the risk and a after more than a year i am rom maker (not consider myself as the best one)
TIP: You do not need to read, you must read and understand what you are reading
I don't have any problems to upgrade at my own.
I upgraded, downgraded, upgraded again, etc, and din't asked help to do those stuff.
But you know, no one is equal to another and everyone is different.
If he is afraid and have doubts, what we should do?
Spank him? No!
i am a new user and i want to upgrade my rom to wm6.5. can someone please help me with the process....i dont know anything about SPL or other terms. please try to guide me through the process, what to do first etc etc

Run Opal HArd SPL and a set of files will come inside the folder u have hard spl, a dialogue box will appear, dont click next and now paste the Rom u have downloaded into the folder and overwrite it..

You could try calling your service Provider to give you the Sim Unlock Code or you could pay someone to get you the code.

I posted this response to this same question over in the ROM development forum.
I too am a relatively new user to this board and a complete newbie to flashing the ROM of my Touch Viva. I wanted a newer more finger friendly ROM for my touchscreen Viva and getting the exact answer to how to flash the phone wasn't easy.
I read through different posts and basically pieced together the information that I use from many different posts. I too was concerned about "bricking" my phone and wanted to get it right.
I've flashed my phone with roughly a dozen different ROMs and have finally settled on one that I like and have also flashed a second Viva with an upgraded ROM also. So if you take your time and have a little patience you can do it.
I hope this helps.
Jagan2's guide
I found a great new post by Jagan2 on how to install/flash a custom ROM. You can find it here.
By the way, he is also the chef of a very good custom ROM called Evolution 2 which is what I'm currently using. I'm patiently waiting for his upcoming 2.5 version.
yea man im using evolution too its amazing rom for WM 6.5 ... give it a try and everything and all the steps u will find the in the fourm about hard spl and installing the rom too lemme know if u need help

Attention!!!
You are in the wrong forum!!!
Do you really flashed your device via SD-card. The problem seams to be, Your device is not a Himalaya!!!
Is it a xda 2i? Then it is an Alpine!!!
There is no other WM than 2k3SE for your device at the moment!
Info on this links might be helpful, but they are german.
http://www.o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/older/pageframe.html
http://www.xda-zone.de/forum/3263-x-m-da-nach-fehlgeschlagenem-update-reanimieren.html
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Alpine_ShippedOrg
The main thing is to recover your device with flashing the official rom Version.
I hope you made all the pre-flashing preparation, like collecting the original rom and pim-backup ect.
Good luck.
If you don't know it exactly, wich device you got, look underneath the main battery. There should be a sticker with the needed info:
PH10 and then A or B : Your device is a Himalaya
C : Your device is a Alpine
In both cases, the best choice to do the recovery, is to flash the original rom.

You are really a great and clever senior member...
Thanks for this Info... I will try this
Thank you very much

I'm happy, that I saw that important "i" this time.
I read about your in your other posts, but you didn't mention, which device your are dealing with.
I hope, you get it fixed again as it is a nice device, even with WM2k3.
Search the Alpine forum, to get a finger friendly desktop surface. It works fine on mine!
The big advantage is: All my additional equipment, as backpack, cf-GPS-mouse and the car-handsfree etc. only work with this one, as there are no full working drivers for WM5/6.X
Good Luck, we hope to see you back with a hima next time, as you are in proctise now. lol
@muckelmaus
Many Thanks man
I've done my case, because of your clear explanation
Don't change men, More Power to you..
