Looking for input from those who have already done this. I'm ready to go, currently on the latest O2 Asia ROM but having stability issues. Which way did you do it, was it successful and so on. Have been through all the wiki doco but want to hear from others before tipping over the edge!
Thanks
Just go a head & do it :wink:

Thanks Rashdi.
How did you sort out the password issues? Were you able to get it working by using the editfix.bat technique with the xda3nbftool?

You'll all have to excuse me if I appear a little confused.... I've only had my Blue Angel a few days and already it is driving me up th wall. I be going through the message boards day after day and now I'm unsure which way to turn with it. Configuration of my unit is as follows:
Orange SPV M2000 - Unlocked, I use both Orange and O2 sims in it.
Operator version: 5.31.1.124
ROM version: 1.31.00 WWE
ROM date: 12/13/04
Radio version: 1.06.02
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtRom version 1.31.124 WWE
Bluetooth version: 1.0.0 Build 3500
Windows Mobile 2003 SE: 4.21.1088
So far its faults seem to be
1. Not compatible with my Bluetooth car kit (nokia CK 7W).
2. Occasionally people are telling me that I sound really distant when making calls (when using it as a phone, e.g with to my ear - I don't do wired ear pieces)
Could anyone please recommend the upgrades I should be looking to use? By upgrading roms etc will a loose its unlocked ablity?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
You can use the latest rom upgrades that are available i.e 1.40 Rom version. After upgarding the rom ur device will not be locked once unlocked it remains unlocked. all the blueetooth and other issues would be resolved after the rom upgrade.
The complete details of the latest rom are as follows:
ROM Version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM Date: 03/10/05
Radio version: 1.13.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.40.147
for the rom link u can have a look in the forum there are a couple of updates availble from different opereators.
cheers
jeet
Thanks for that, I've upgraded it using the imate PD2k 1.40 rom set. The unit seems to be functioning better already and it has got rid of some of the rubbish Orange had installed on it.
Now at:
ROM version: 1.40 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radion Version: 1.12.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.40.176 WWE
Bluetooth version 1.0.0 Build 3900
Windows Mobile 2003SE Version 4.21.1088 (build 15045.2.6.0)
Guess I'll just have to see how this performs........
Had fun trying to upgrade it, country ID error thing kept coming up but got there in the end using the advice from this site. I guess that must be something to do with my phone being unlocked? The only info the device data utility gave me was:
PH20B 0 B WWE E
Any way thanks agin for your help

Nope, I guess it was because you actually read the Wiki pages and the advice on this forum
Fair point.......... It's all there if you read in to it
Can some one tell me what the latest and greatest ROM's i can run on my device. I am running a Qtek 9090 on the BT Mobile (Vodafone) network.
ROM Version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radio Version: 1.13.00
Protocol Version: 1337.42
ExtROM Version: 1.22.126 WWE
Since i successfully upgraded to ROM 1.40.00 WWE i can now no longer connect to a VPN using PPTP, i tried upgrading to Radio 1.13.00 this had made no difference.
I was wondering if there are any known issues with the ROM's that i am running, or if i am even running the latest / best combination of ROM's for my device.
Any help really appreciated.
Hope you know what you have in you 1.22.126 ext rom.
If you have left it alone on the CE upgrade to 1.40 your 1.22.126 ext rom could have patches that upgrade the BT as well as other files.
Thus these patches will in fact then downdrade the files on the 1.40 Rom.
(CE 1.22 roms had BT 1.35 or lower CE 1.40 had BT 1.39).
SO based on what you report I would expect you to have problems that it seems you have created for yourself.
Now If you have infact cleaned your Ext rom and added the patches that you need for 1.40 (which can be found on wiki)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Patches_14x
you have an issue that has yet to be found with the 1.40 rom based on those reported in:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
Thanks for the reply, it sounds like i might be missing something big here, sorry for this - what do you mean by "cleaned your Ext rom"...? As far as i am aware i have not touched the ExtROM i just assumed that the PPTP issue was something to do with me not touching it, but i may well be very wrong :? Everything else seems to work just fine including BT and GPRS and Wireless LAN.
Thanks again!
Would sugest that you do some reading in the wiki kitchen.
Just to let you know BT is O2 not vodaphone! :wink:
Hi.
These is my current pda2k, and I'm wondering if I *really* need to update anything, and if I do, what with? I've tried looking though the site, but the instructions seem really puzzling to me!
I have ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radio version 1.12.00
Protocol verison 1337.42
ExtROM 1.40.176 WWE
Also, is it worth/possible to put in windows mobile 5.0 - I have 2003SE
Thank you! Matthew
Chances are VERY good that what you have now is a lot faster and more stable than any WM5 you could flash on your phone. If it ain't broke, don't try to fix it. I'm fortunate that I got 2003se back on my phone without any problem.
Hey all, I just got given a PH20B (blue angel) from a friend. It's the "i-mate PDA2k". He won it in a contest, it was unlocked when he got it. I use T-Mobile so I put my sim card in it and it works okay with T-Mo's GPRS service.
What's the benefit of updating the ROMs? Will it fix my skype problem: when i use skype i'm connected using wifi but it says i'm not, and insists on connecting with GPRS (which is too slow for VOIP). The wifi connection is fine, i can browse pages etc.
What will i get with the newer radio ROM, newer ROMs, etc?
Here's my current devicedata.txt stuff:
Model: PH20B
Language code: WWE
Operator code: CDL__001
ROM version: 1.12.22
Extended ROM version: 1.12.169
Radio version: 1.02.00
I can download this official ROM straight from i-mate, is it better/worse than what i could get from this site?
For the Worldwide English Build:
ROM version: 1.40.00 WWE
ROM date: 03/10/05
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version 1337.42
ExtROM version: 1.40.176 WWE
Thanks.
1.40 is definitely better than the ROM you have. Go for it.
EDIT: the latest release ROM is 1.42 (hint: read wiki) which is better than the released ROM from Imate (plenty of bugs fix, newer application version etc)
If you are using it on T-Mobile I would suggest using the 1.42 ROM from T-Mobile NL, I have been using it for months now and it works great!!!
Hi Guys,
Sorry to be a royal pain, but I have bought myself an o2 XDA III phone and I'm looking for the latest o2 rom for it which is Xda_IIi_LaunchROM_v1.10.124.exe, all the links I have found no longer host the file
Does anyone have it that could upload it to the FTP site? or if not, does anyone know what the most upto date cooked/beta rom is? I updated my BlueAngel with 6.5 rom, but I didn't want to just assume it would work on my XDA IIi.
So if there is someone out there that could save me some time, your help would be really appreciated.
Rom version - 1.11.00 WWE
Rom date - 01/27/05
Radio version - 1.00.00
Protocal version - 1337.39
ExtRom version - 1.11.169 WWE
thanks
Anthony
Out of interest, I use this one on my o2 xda2i:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=306600
Rom version - 1.11.00 WWE
Rom date - 01/27/05
Radio version - 1.04.00
Protocol version - 1337.42
ExtRom version - 1.11.171 WWE
Don't know if that helps.

I used to have the link to the Irish O2 site (which Dee Dee gave me) which was the last to host the XDAIIi updated "Offical" bios but they seem to have stopped hosting it fortunately I still have the file so I have upped it to my Rapidshare account where it will remain.
Here is the link

Hi The Owl, thanks for your reply......

Anthony
