My questions start here :
Is it a Himalaya or Alpine
I tried to figure it out my self by reading your forum. I'm new user indeed, i got this device from work and just getting into this stuff.
I don't want to hear from any1 how stupid I'm am because i posted it because it is not so simple as you think identify this device.
I found on your forum that Himalaya does support WiFi (b) , mine DOESN't , there is no such option WI-FI lan or anything like that except Bluetooth.
Second of all a Cover, a case looks exactly as Alpine pictured here :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Alpine
the name of it is O2 XDA II instead of OTEK POCKET PC.
My plan is to Upgrade a OS to the latest possible (english).
But before I start making anychanges I'd like you to help me with identity of this device.
THanks in advance.
Regards,
Mariusz

Trying to run xda2unlock-setup-v2.2 basic question

I have copied across the dowloaded file
from my pc to the xda2. I have a message which says - xda2unlock-setup-v2.2 is not a valid pocket pc application.
I assume that I am doing the wrong thing.
I am technically ignorant and would appreciate any advise please assume a lack of any basic knowledge.
The unit is locked to O2 And I wish to use my vodafone sim. I have just bought the unit and have never had a connection.

Bluetooth Update (Yet Another!)

Mates, sorry for another question on this topic, I'm a very newbie and I couldn't orieent in this mess...
I Have an I-mate (still not able to understand whether it's an Andes or Alpine... BTW, what's the difference?)
I tried to connect via bluetooth both to the car handset and to a GPS receiver, but other than bonding the device, no connection was started.
I realize I have to upgrade something, and being extremely prudent in doing so.
I read in some place I need to upgrade to WM5, some other post referring to update Bluetooth but referring to many different stacks.

Caller ID

I have a problem with my BA, the name not showing up on my screen along with the number when a call comes in.
Will be waiting for the best solution for it....
only views, no replies
WAKE UP GUYS!
what version roms are you using and have you changed any software since the last time caller id worked
yeah!
before it was windows 2003, later on upgraded to windows mobile 2005. Device information is:
ROM version: 5.03.02 WWE
ROM date: 03/02/05
Radio version: 1.12.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: -
moreover, my wifi was working before. Now only showing the wireless icon but not starting up. I guess, maybe a driver problem. Please, help me out with this as well
You've probably got the caller's number in your address book twice, so it doesn't know which contact to display?
nope!
nothing is like that afterall, i am also a bit genius actually any other idea regarding wifi, i guess i need a suitable wireless driver for my version. What you guys think
well...first of all...you should upgrade the radio to 1.15.00...pro secundo...there is a fix for caller id on ftp (anyway newest Helmi rom handles with this issue)...then discuss it again...
i think i had the same prob with wifi not sure about caller id ,didnt get any calls and the gps would'nt connect (bluetooth).i looked through the site and upgraded further last friday, (cant find link now will post if i find it)
mine is a 2yr old 02 xda iis PH20b was 2003 now wm5
operator version AKU2.6
ROM version: 5.04.06 WWE
ROM date: 03/02/05
Radio version: 1.13.00
Protocol version: 1337.42
ExtROM version: Helmi v1.1
caller id , wifi & bluetooth all work fine
(added) the only thing i cant seem to set is the lock-out, on 2003 i could set it so after a set time it would log out so the password had to be entered,at the moment i only need the password after a soft reset,

regarding your problem, why dont you try going to settings > password and set a password out there!
yeh found the password cheers start/system/lock, now last time i went in i thought that was the only page so i clicked ok and came out this time i re-entered the password then it gave me a second page to change the time.
i found the radio upgrade

and the main page for helmi latest upgrade (wm5)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home
browse wiki...its useful anyway...
everything was about to run fine suddenly after upgrading Radio Version and Helmi Version, now i neither even access the contacts nor the wifi is working NOW NO UPGRADING! any patch?

Upgrading 02 XDA IIS to Windows Moblie 6.5

Ok, above I can see exactly 5 "threads" on how to upgrade the 02 XDA IIs ie (HTC Blue Angel) to windows 6.5.
It clearly states DO AT AT YOUR OWN RISK, which has got me pissing in my pants.
I LOVE MY PHONE, but would also love to have windows 6.5 on it.
Here is the below info if it helps.
model number : PH20B
rom : 1.31.00 WWE
rom date : 12/13/04
ExtRom : 1.31.920 WWE
Windows Mobile 2003 Version 4.21 (build 14132)
Chef Tony and his tutorials are exhaustive : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=630416
Hence, if someone could kindly give it STEP BY STEP or perhaps POST A VIDEO OF IT, it would really be helpful, as I really want to upgrade my phone.
Oh yea and one more thing please, silly question but where the heck is the record button anyways ? I need this info so I can enter the Bootloader Mode (pressing power+record and reset)
Kind Regards
RD
Chef Tony has given it step by step very nicely. Upgrading a WM5/6 device
FOR XP USERS, WHICH IS ME.
He says to skip the first 2 steps if memory shows as 60 MB something, mine shows 121, should I skip the first 2 steps then ?
He says : 6.b copy the contents of this package to the same folder: MAupgradeUt_noID - I guess I have to get the MAUpgradeUT-NOID.exe from someplace, anyone got a link ? cant seem to find it.
my rom comes with EXTrom - does that mean I skip point 10 ?
