This, I assume, is the very latest UK rom, I had 1.60 before that. Getting the machine tomorrow, will post exact rom then, however I do not know how to copy it and send it you guys, can anyone explain in the simplest term how to do this? I have XP, Thanks
out of interest, what was wrong with the XDAII?
Reply
it would freeze and only a hard reset could fix this when connected to a Socket SDIO card, this would happen every 3 or 4 days.
Re: sent my xda 2 to o2(uk) for repairs, returned UK Rom 1.6

If it's arriving tomorow, how do you already know it's 1.66 mate?
And just for interest, I seem to recall that the GERMAN version of the O2 ROM was just released last week at 1.66 - I wonder if this is a version of this for a UK market, or if O2 are about to release 1.66 over here too.
Anyone know how he can 'reverse assemble' it from his device so he can share it?
i had the same freezing issues but my device was 1.66
but i'm pretty sure that the freezing was due to a 3th party program
been awhile since it froze last
and i doubt it could be a hardware issue since hardreset always works
Mikey Collins - keep us posted on the outcome when it arrives please...
What program caused the crashing ? PocketWinc?
And I know it is coming with 1.66 because I called them. Any idea what sort of programs could have caused this?

What sort of programs could have caused this? The new upgrade you mean or the re-flash?
Could be a number of things mate, though usually a hard reset will cure all your woes.
Let us know what the actual real numbers are, for your ROM, extended ROM etc, when it actually arrives, as what O2 say on the phone, and what happens in real life, are noted for how far apart they tend to be where O2 is concerened.
And there will be an awful lot of people interested in your info, so keep us posted.

I emailed O2 Data Support about this, to see when or if they were intending to release 1.66.
This is my reply back from them:
Hello Mr xxxxxxx,
Thank you for your email,
After querying this with our technical team, we would like you to provide
evidence of the Rom 1.66 occurring, as we believe this not to be the case.
If you are experiencing problems with your XDA, you can replace the device
under warranty via your customer services team.s
Regards,
Paul
O2 Data Support UK
So can you give us some more info, or reply to me off board Mikey? As I suspect it is YOU that is correct, and O2 wrong, and would like to challenge them over this.

how to unlock xda2 rom 1.60.00wwe
i use xda2 unlock.exe
and press yes
get massage phone already unlocked
so how to unlock latest version
or is there after downgrade something like that
waiting for serious reply
To add
It was the technical service team that updated my phone, they warned me about Data Support.... and now you see
new rom?
Sounds good if you are right, and yes i am as critical about o2 as the rest of you, but ive found that there is an easyish way to get through to o2 on the fones if u need sumthing, call their staff accounts people on
0800131211
and since its freefone (in the uk @ least, i guess they have this sorta service elsewhere) it dont matter how long ur on the fone with them.
neway, will it be possible to upload the rom to the site?
Smiley
They are all shipping with 1.66 now
my girlfriend just got a new xd2, same OM as mine.
My xda2 which I am selling on this site also came with the new rom after they replaced the motherboard. I dont know if its me but the screen seems so much better, on a par now with the ipaq 3900 series, bright, clear, good depth of colour etc. Its for sale in the stocking up section of this site if anybody is interested. £350 Uk.
I just purchased an XDA II yesterday, and it also came with ROM version 1.66.00WWE (Incidently, the ROM date shows as 20th Feb 04)

I repeatedly Emailed O2 about this, and eventually there response was that more recent versions of the XDA2 ship with a slightly different screen (hardware wise).
New drivers are needed for this, and this is the ONLY difference in 1.66, which is not available for public download.
I emailed them back to tell them what a load of old cobblers, and that it includes a Cleartype tuner and more.
They went decidedly quiet at that point.
Any chance that O2 have fixed the Handsfree dll problem in Version 1.66? Can you get mp3 / Tom tom audio etc. to come out of the bottom connector? (Many people have a problem with the XDA II that they can only get Phone call audio to go to the bottom connector, even though the T-Mobile ROM's apparently don't have this problem.)
You can use a tool provided free on this site in the tools and software section to download your ROM to an SD card, and I assume that it can also download it to your PC.
I'm by no-means an expert, but I've had a go at fiddling with it so far and this is what I've found...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/CompleteTools
Follow the XDA Tools link and download the program, tell it to read the ROM from the device and Put it on your PC, then you can post it here.
I know this program worked with flashing the ROM from my XDA, never tried it with an XDA II though, although I will try it when I get home tomorrow.
There were a couple of more difficult to use tools provided for the XDA II that need you to log into the 'Bootloader' on the device using a command prompt (Like DOS) style program providxed by HTC (the manufacturers of the XDA and XDA II) but I can't remember where they were and I'm using my girlfriends crappy tinternet connection at the moment and can't be bothered to search the site. I'll have a more detailed set of instructions posted asap if I can find out how to do it all over the weekend.
Other than that, if anyone else can post details of how to do it, I'd be very grateful cos it all seems a lot more complicated with the XDA II to change the ROM than it was with the XDA.
Cheers,
Rom version 1.66.00 wwe
Guys be vvvvv careful when messing with this rom. If you attempt to update it to sort out the caller photograph recognition bugs you are in for a shock. Now you may already now which versions are the "older" versions but I did not and updated with the current official update from the O2 site. My XDA2 is now a one week old doorstop. Any suggestions anybody. I did back up to my SD card before the update but do not have a card reader...............yet!
Hi Guys
can anyone tell me where I might be able to get the latest firmware/rom for an MDA III please?
Many thanks!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_FTP_Site

Great stuff!
(I hope! Does nothing but timeout but thats more likely the corporate firewall i am behind)
I will check this out when I get home.
Cheers!

I hope u don’t bee angry. This thread is for Herms device. I don’t understand what device u have
regards
Nokia BH 800 is a bluetooth headset, I assume you have a Hermes variant, which seem to have issues with bluetooth devices. If you dont, and seing you have put Wizard in your post, then you are looking in the wrong place for support.
Please search the forums for issues related to bluetooth devices, there is plenty of info out there. Basically you need to remember that these roms, though great are not officially supported and as such some things do not work entirely well.
Install at your own risk, and figure out how to fix things that dont work....
Hi xdaass
I just wane say u the same as chrisjasper but a little bit kindly. So listen to him plz
You think I'm not kind?

N A A “Not At All” u know i didnt mean
BTW chrisjasper
Did u saw LWSVs new rom. I flashed it & I gone testing it a couple days
Saw it posted but havent used any LVSW roms as yet, I'm still using the rom of a dark hue.....
I tried it a couple times but the "dark" one is still stable, fast & nice. I gone SPBench mark LWSV tomorrow & compare the results
Well the new dark one is due out this week, so I think I may give it a try, although I am interested in Walshieu's White rom since I've heard him called the technical genius behind the dark one. Havent heard a release date for White yet though.....
I see that im not the only one having problem with the Nokia BH800, im happly using the Black v3.0.1 rom on my hermes (softbank) but i cant seem to make the BH800 to work handsfree, did any one have a solution for that??
thanks
Did you not read the replies to your post?
Yes I have
this is a known Hermes issue (Not Blue tooth or wizard), waiting to see if someone have found a solution for that (supposed to be a cab file fixing it)
again as far as i know this forum is about hermes upgrading, my issues here is using the hands-free option that seems to have a problem

Hey Guys,
I am hoping someone has been able to test the BlackBerry Connect on this baby.
What luck have you had? I am not able to cook my ROM due to company unit and I really want to get rid of ROM 1.34.
2.15 has no working BBC so I am stuck with this old ROM.
I beg the swammies of this forum to assist in ANY way please...
Bump! Bump!
184 views an no one has any ideas? Is there someone out there with this official ROM that is willing to give this a go?
i am deeply sorry, willing to herlp you eagerly, but i have no idea about your problem, deeply sorry again.
Suggestion: Try to revise your way of prsenting your problem, may someone get understand it and help you.
it has already being posted bro this is old news if you still cannot find it google htc america 8525 support and you will find the link!
Thanks guys! I saw that the WM6 BBC in some ROMs work and others do not. I know that there have been some great cooks that have been able to get this working. I was hoping that since the 8925 supports it, the new ATT WM6 upgrade for the 8525 would support it as well. I did so searches and saw that the leaked ROM did not support it but, since this release is different, I had high hoped.
Leoiden, You mention this is old news but this was just released 5 days ago. Will it not work then? HTC says it not supported but, they have not been able to tell me if it works.
I mean the 1.34 ROM does not have BBC support but, it works great. Since I am not able to upgrade and go back, I have no way of testing it so, I was hoping someone already went through it.
Thanks in advance.
In some cooked ROMs, BB Connect is available. If you cant find one, then you can cook one into a ROM with one of the fantastic kitchens available. Try doing a search for BB Connect just specifically in the Hermes Mobile 6 forum. Hope I helped a little.
-Nstefanelli-
Yes, it did help. I am not allowed to run cooked ROM's on this device. This is why I was hoping there was a solution to run BBC on the new Official ATT WM6 ROM.
There are lots of threads telling me how to do it but they are all for the HTC ROM, the cooked ROMS and other ROMS. Non of them tell me if and when the ATT WM6 ROM rolled out Nov. 2007 will take a BBC load and work.
I know it is unsupported. I am just hoping someone out there has either tried and failed or tried and succeeded.
There is so much information out there. Weeding through the non relevant stuff to find the info that pertains to your situation is what I am having trouble with.
Hmmm... I am wondering if the BBC software for the Tilt will work on the Hermes. I am hoping that is the same build and therefore may work. Who has tried this?
Hi,
After numerous searches I so far haven't found anything...
Lots of links to the official 1.97 rom hosted on a random orange domain name. Nothing linked from the Orange site though.
Anyone else already got this or know when it may be released?
Thanks
Rob
I would not have though so - Orange are very slow at updating their ROM.
There have been phones past to me from orange retail recently that still have the June 08 ROM on lol
But there is a new home screen (analog and digital clock together) theme from orange in the themes and application section.

waiting for orange...... don't hold your breath
It's not going to happen any time soon, if at all.
Orange like to wait for the ROM to be established before upgrading to it. Then they need to stick their software all over it and ruin it!
Orange Retail are still supplying the original ROM from June 08 - LOL, despite the dummy models showing the analog clock Orange FR interface from last year also.
i contacted them last week regarding rom updates they basically told me to go onto google
Search this forum.
The 2.04.73 firmware is out (FR)
Lucky French
Orange UK still only provide ROM V1.93 and Radio 1.00.25.05, as a download http://tinyurl.com/OrangeUK-1-93
