try to backup first and after installation just restore it

NO! Do not restore over ROM upgrades. That is a sure way to ran into problems with your device. If you do not have time wait until you are free to upgrade. Otherwise you may ovewrite some new improvements with conflicting scripts.

Can you tell the difrent, restoring from spb backup you just restoring all you files and contacts

Restoring files and contacts is different from restoring programs. You can select pim data and documents to restore, but that is chicken feed. Even for a noob like me :lol: No offence please. Just stiring up some brightness here :roll:

oooohhh!!!! Just did an upgrade rom to "test only - not for sale".

Program memory is less than it was on the test ROM. Was a little over 30mb after soft reset, but now fresh flashed device shows only 26.83mb :evil:

downloaded and flashed the new rom.. and this sux! sam as the test rom.. all the probs i faced on it are still present.. :x :evil:
others are just the sam.. (camera, performance and stuff)

and one extra thingy.. got a new "O2 AutoInstaller" which installs just a ringtone or two..

I gotta ask: Are you really in Norway? I thought I had the only Atom here... :wink: Also another posting of yours suggest otherwise.

i've got a solution for 2 of my probs.. waitin a little while before soft resetting after changin the volume n creating a new email accnt doesnt give me the probs i faced before.. guess the atom is slow in writin to the registry or something... :? but the autoconfig prob stil remains..

Some interesting things on the T-Mobile 1.60 update software

I tried the T-Mobile 1.60 rom on my O2 xda2.
It works perfectly with my xda2.
However, I found some interest thing on the new rom upgrade process
1. It seems XDA2 (or HTC Himalaya) use one single program for RAIDO / Extended Rom / OS Rom update. It seems Radio upgrade failure may no longer case device failure, because the RADIO upgrade process is same as OS upgrade process, and not required to copy the whole software into the RAM to upgrade.
2. Sinces some of us (and my XDA2) report that the exteneded rom is READ ONLY, but the upgrade program can update the extended rom. That means the Exteneded rom is not REALLY read only, but somewhere locked it. More funny is , it is seems the Main OS rom is not controlling the exteneded rom is locked or not, because after I updated the extended rom, it is still locked.
3. If O2 XDA2 can use T-Mobile MDA2 update, it seems the upgrade software no longer check the header of the device (At lease this version won't). I think we can use it to change device's language. However I don't know how to dump the rom in .nbf format, is that possible to convert the nb1 format to nbf format?
Thanks.
Hi killercheung...
where are you find the 1.60 rom ?
and the radio what version is ?
Can you put it in my ftp pls ?
it's always on
ftp://dgmatic.com
user: xda
pass: xda
port: 21
...like this we can have it all
Thanks in advance

I asked here for you, hopefully it will be available for everyone soon:

killercheung, thanks for that... I'm still deciding whether to apply the new rom to my UK XDA II.... is the language of the rom netherlands? or can I have it all in english as it is with the normal O2 rom?
Do we lose anything from the o2 rom/extended rom ?
I'm wondering if O2 do bring an upgrade out if we'll be able to still use it if we've tried this t-mobile 1.60 rom.... hmmmmm
hmmm decisions decisions... do you think its much better than the current o2 rom?
Now that I have moved to the 1.60 rom, I must say there's ONE thing I DO miss ....
My O2 BUBBLES ARE GONE FROM MY ASIAN O2.
(I obviously knew this could happen, but thought I'd made a backup of my extended ROM (I DID, but I accidentally tossed it a few days ago) . Who would be so kind as to send me a copy of the O2.cab file from the extended rom, so that I can put the bubbles back into my dialer ...)

Hi Killercheung,
You've missed out something ... the EXE file can be unzipped (using Winrar) ... you will then see the same upgrade.exe files, nbf files (3 of them) ... you can then deleted the ms_.nbf so that only the CORE ROM and RADIO is updated, and keep all O2 EXTENDED_ROM content untouch.
You can also use the same method to upgrade to Chinese ...

Good news about the T-Mobile ROM. I don't know what they have fixed/patched, but my O2 XDA II ROM never bothered to disconnect the GPRS connection after having spent some time online, not after surfing, not after checking e-mail. Mind you the T-moblile ROM doesn't either, except ....... when checking e-mail, which in my eyes is quite important.
So now I can go back to have my XDA check my e-mail once per hour, knowing that it will disconnect automatically.
(And Satria, thanks for sending me my bubbles

Hi,
Just one question. Did any of you that make the update testet with the bluetooth GPS?
If yes, It works? or you still have to install TOWA´s patch?

Hi guys,
I did the update to rom 1.60 and it is great. I have an Imate Pocet PC. the new rom is excellent but with one sad thing and that is if the device goes in standby mode the GPRS connection if you are connected to the internet goes off as well :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: :twisted: i there a fix to this.

For NBF, you can use XDAtools to capture the Chinese ROM, I did once with the English ROM and the file size is exactly the same as the one in 1.60 update. So there should have no missing bytes in the saved file.
For the EXTENDED_ROM, no idea how to save in NBF format ..
I have installed the update but TomTom doesnt see the serial ports 4/5.

Hi, What do you think about the update? It´s mutch better than before?
You say "TomTom doesnt see the serial ports 4/5."

yikes...... did that happen on the old rom as well or did gprs stay connected on the original rom?
I hate the way gprs disconnects on devices.. it's supposed to be always on, and I'd really prefer if it stayed on during suspend etc so that MSN could stay connected, notifying me when I got a message....
Email checking likewise, I'd prefer gprs remained always connected and it'd check email in the background whether off or on, notifying me when it got a new mail.
I can't check the behaviour of my xda II since Im on "roaming" at the moment in another country so no gprs
but can anyone say for sure which way the old vs new rom work in this regard?
I did some research on the upgrade process, and fileformats:

Official i-mate rom won't install after installing t-mobile

Earlier, I installed unofficial T-Mobile 1.6 rom on my i-mate. I just recenlty tried installing the official i-mate update and there is a country code. I don't have the old rom to revert to. Can anyone help. I know I would have to at the least get a copy of the old rom and then install it into the i-mate. Again, since I don't have a backup of the old one, I would need info on how to get one first.
The T-Mobile unofficial one works fine. I just wanted to go back to always on gprs etc. that the i-mate update has. If not, I guess I will have to wait until the rom kitchen is up and running for this unit. :lol:

I think you better try it using bootloader way, because t-mobile protect it's update, it happen in XDAI if you update your XDA to 4.16 and you want to go back to 4.11 then you have to update it using bootloader to be able to go back from the previous one 4.11 8) hope this help you...opps correction please there is no bootloader on XDA II, there is bootloader but in different way, I think if you copy your old nbf to sd using xdatools and go to bootloader by using power+anydirection+ reset it will ask to download the nbf to you device... hmmm if this doesn't work you have to look for another way.
T-Mobile 1.60 BUGGY Rom - Want to go back to iMate ROM
Folks,
I'm in the same position - Can someone please outline the success they've had going back from the T-Mobile 1.60 ROM to Imate ROM 1.5283??
Any thoughts would be great... (I'm guessing the boot loader using an SD card may work but would love to hear of any new tricks that people have learned on this
Cheers

I'll try to help.
Where can the ROM be downloaded, so I can have a look at it.

T-Mobile Back to iMate ROM
Thanks
I've uploaded the new iMate ROM image to:
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/ruu15283.zip
The somewhat flakey T-Mobile 1.6.006 ROM (which I'm trying to get away from is at
http://www.c1au.com/iMatePDAROMS/TMobile160.zip
Of course, with the different operator / country codes, it's not just a matter of running the .EXE - It'll need to involve the boot loader of a little hex editing of the header, I'm guessing (just guessing?!)
The new iMate ROM is meant to be the best bet around at the moment and my device is an iMate in the first place. The only reason why I installed the T-Mobile one was to get the Bluetooth GPS fix (which works well) - BUT so many other things aren't as stable!!
The new iMate ROM is meant to have the BT GPS fix as well.
Any help, much appreciated!
Cheers
Andy

The other posts on the subject aren't too clear at this point - So it'll be great to clear up the issue for the iMate / XDA II.
All the best - Have a great weekend.
Andy
OK, made some time to create a batch file to upgrade.
Works only for upgrade from T-Mobile 1.60.06 NL to I-mate 1.53.82.
1. Download the ROM image ruu15283.zip from the site in this posting
2. Unzip the file with Winzip
3. You now get a file called ruu15283wwwe_cdl.exe
3. Extract this file with Winzip to a new folder
4. Extract the attached file to the same folder
5. Start the conversion and upgrade by double-clicking convert.bat
Since I'm out till Sunday, I can't check my mail to respond to problems.
Enjoy!
Can the first person brave enough to try this please confirm success.
IT WORKS!!
Jes - You're a scholar and a gentleman!!
And a *(&(&( good programmer
IT WORKED!
Thanks a million!
Let me know how to send you virtual beers or whatever
(or if you need a hand with anything - Please let me know!)
Cheers
Andy
Nah, I'm not a good programmer, I just know how to write bachfiles and how to combine things to get the disered result.
Thanks has to go to Isme. He knows a lot about the internal working of the XDA II, the ROMS and the bootloader process.
He wrote the great tool used to change the file headers, so you can update your machine with a ROM of a different brand.
He's a good programmer!
If somebody needs a mod to upgrade from another ROM version, please let me know.
And if you want to do something back, please donate to the people who keep this nice forum up and running.
It worked. For those who want to get back onto the official path from unofficial t-mobile this is an automated way to do it. Thanks...Jon
Backing Up XDA2 ROM+CE
I'm a new XDA2 iMate user, want to back up my ROM+CE before I screw things up. I did this on my XDA1 (power + software reset, then press contact button I think). Anyway, I always had my ROM+CE backed up to a 64M SD card ... just in case.
I've searched these forums for such a procedure for XDA2 ... no luck.
What is the process, if any, to backup the XDA2's ROM+CE image to SD card?
Appreciate any help,
Craig
I think it's possible with the xda2dmp tool, but you better ask Itsme, he wrote it.
You can find it on this site: http://www.xs4all.nl/~itsme/projects/xda/xda-ii.html

Hi Jos ,
I tried it and it WORKS!!!!!!!!!! You are a brilliant guy !!!
I owe you one!!
My friend wants to install the T-Mobile Update because the windows CE version on the T-mobile ROM is newer than that of the imate. Any magic patches that can be done.

This is how to upgrade:

Difference between i-mate 1.52.00WWE ROM and i-mate 1.53.82
Can anybody outline the differences between the 1.52.00 and the 1.53.82 official i-mate ROMs?
I'm trying to ascertain whether I have sufficient incentive to upgrade (given the "If it ain't broke, don't fix it" mentality I subscribe to in my old age!).
Sufficient incentive might be;
:arrow: Faster GPRS
:arrow: Improved battery life
:arrow: Improved all-round performance.
Thanks guys.

Hi Paul
Looks like i did the same, I upgraded to the 1.60 and lost the o2 bits, so hopefully if we replace our extended roms with the files i pull off a new XDA2 later, and then hard reset we should have Ver 1.60 with the o2 settings

10 mins, and they will be ready
Here we go, here are the extended rom files from a proper UK o2 XDA-2
all i have done is the T-mobile 1.6 upgrade, then made the extended rom vissible and deleted the files, then replaced with this set in the zip file, then hard reset, and all is fine
John
Cool stuff you are the man
thanks for your help
Paul there is one problem, let me try and explaine.
when i first instaled the T-Mobile Dutch rom, as per instruction on here i removed the radio part and installed the rom without radio (hopeing to keep the original uk o2 stuf) but the upgrade worked fine apart from the phone aerial indicator would not show any service just a "!" nest to it, but altho you could not make calls you could still make a GPRS connection, and after you ended that the signal would show and the you make calls as normal
but ater a soft rest you needed to do the connect gprs first to get it work for voice calls, so as this was poxy i just re did the full t-mobile complete rom upgrade after this the phone worked just as it should, but of corse i lost the UK o2 bits and connection details i needed
so maybe as we now have newer roms we may need some of the t-mobile radio parts and our UK o2 parts as well,
i will mess around with it and let you know
is there anyone else with any ideas
John
yes i now have the same problem
not able to make or receive calls
i have found a way round it, iam going to do it again and this time note what i have done, i will post instructions as soon as i finished

Ok will hang on before i kill my phone
ok here we go
first of all i cleared out all the files in the extended rom and left it empty
then i hard rest
and entered the regional stuff and got a basic xda running
then i put the files from the extended rom on a SD card
and from the file manager i ran the following cabs ONLY....
and in this order
CallerID_wwe.sa
Camera_wwe.sa
clearview_wwe.sa
Midi.sa
MMS_WWE.sa
msmsgs8
o2_AP_UK.sa
Version.sa
xmailinstaller2003bla bla bla
o2_activeUI (make sure its not the o2_activeUI_eng setup)
after this enter your preferance, it resets and your are done
I do know you can sdeit the config in the extended rom to run just the cabs you need but i will do that later.
at least this way UK people who have lost the perment GPRS after upgrading and the UK setting can have them all back
please let me know if this also works 100% fine for other people as well
(Oh by the way its the cab "OEM_WWE.sa" that makes the phone show no service) so what ever you do dont click this cab
John
Hi John
That was fine well done that man
My XDAII is now in full working order with 1.6 rom and my UK O2 setting and programs
Well Done
In the MMS software on the XDA II O2 UK can someone describe what the setting under Options are please?
I deleted by mistake the O2 server or whatever it is called and its setting up.
Can someone help and tell me what settings they have?
Thank you.

the only difference with this version seems to be the removal of the text 'test only not for sale' in the bootsplash screen.

Hey,
Try to understand this page and you will get it to work:

Wow
Wow
A bit too much information for me I'm afraid.
I'm running the Imate version now and it's terrible: No gprs & monitor.
I've tried already to switch back to the original version from T-mobile, but I get the same country ID error as when I tried to install the Imate ROM.
To reverse this (as far as I understand) is not easily done I'm afraid!
The settings of the T-mobile ROM (RUU16036WWE_T-Mobile_NL.exe)
look correct if I vieuw the
ms_.nbf & NK.nbf & Radio_.nbf files with ER2003 EDIT
and there seems no reason to change them.
The terrible thing is that I can not install this original ROM !
Please help.. :wink:

Use ER2003edit to erase the phone ID and the county code. then apply your old update and you will be going. This worked for me to downgrade.

Phone is not ready
Does anyone come across such problem wtih this iMate 1.72.00WWE, that is when activate the phone program, select Tools --> Options..., a dialog comes up with message "The phone is not ready, Wait 15 seconds and try again." However, this never get away, every I select the same, it appears. Please Help.
So far, ive done 2 hardresets on 1.72.
Compared to 1 on 1.66 and 1 on 1.52.
Im really concerned about the stability of 1.72, doing the wrong thing with the wrong program can cause an instant hardreset!
I think I solve the problem now
umm... i cant upgrade.
ive tried about everything, and i always get country ID error.
Ive upgraded to 1.72 before (official), back then i erased the phone ID and
operator code.
So, i tought.. then it should be the same now.. but no, it aint.
I cant upgrade!!
Please help!
Just do it all over again, as you never upgrade the machine. I had do it, it works.
Yeah.. it worked with PH10, Qtek, and WWE.
thanx for the input!

UK ROM v1.72.187 - Anyone tried it?

OK!
The above ROM has been released and I believe many users have already downloaded it.
Just to check whether:-
a) any problme faced during installation? Is the upgrading procedure straight forward?
b) any problem upgrading from WAXX ROM to this UK ROM?
c) any problme faced during upgrading from i-Mate v1.72 to this UK ROM?
d) other problems encountered?
Thanks for your feedback
ive downloaded both and tried had no problems so far try using file from here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12512
I will upgrade later tonight, and hopefully report back tomorrow
RE
Hi Hobbit!
What file and where's the link? :roll:
BTW, is the performance better than the WAXX ROM and the i-Mate v1.72 ROM?
Thanks
this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12512
sorry was in different forum lol
I've uploaded ROMs here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12528
yep tried em both. no real noticable difference to the unofficial 1.72 ive been using for months. Looks like its new device time as no hope of further updates - unless someone knows differntly....
I have upgraded, no problems.......everything works fine !!
:lol:
RE
Just one question.
Is this upgrade solely meant for UK users?
I'm from the asian side. I just can't wait for myxda to release its asian version.
Any problem with my asian telco operators here?
Thanks
I just upgraded my XDA II to the O2 UK 1.72.187 release. It all went well. I previously had installed the i-mate 1.72 ROM.
I had used Activesync to do a full backup prior to upgrading, and I restored it after the upgrade. After a couple of soft resets, everything seems OK, including the Widcomm bluetooth stack I previously had installed.
So, although early days yet, everything seems OK
Only downside - in my opinion
I was using the asian ROM version 1.60.44 for the longest time without any problems, I just upgraded to the UK ROM version 1.72.181 and the only downside I noticed, as of now, is that the clear type sucks, its just like the 1.72 of the i-Mate, of the 1.66 of the Asian O2. It was way better in the old ROM I was using.

Take a look at this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=9279
Thanks DCS for the link. My ClearType is A OK again now
My pleasure
Just upgraded to the image with blackberry version on a CPW xdaII runing 1.66 - result good
1st I backed up with version 3.7.1 of active sync
then I hard reset
then I closed all the programs and icons in the system tray
First it failed with usb left on the screen.
I did a soft reset and re ran the upgrade program again and all is well.
I am now restoring the backup, haha which worked except for a few files which I skipped, these were the same files that were skipped on a normal restore.
Now my destinator satnav is working and that is tied to the machine so all in ace
what have I gained, I don't really known, looking forward to the fax though,
where is it?
Simon
Additional download.
You will find it in the Fax software in the XDAIIAppSuite uploaded by The Hobbit in his post here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=12526

Do you try ClearType Tuner in this ROM, the file is cttune.cpl.CAB
I think it's another way to correct the cleartype problem beside the dcs' way? Is it right?
is there anyone got problems like mine?I stuck with SMS, i did send one sms to my number and it takes 4 hour to delivery it and when i go to sent box i didnt see any sms that i have sent???? do you knows that and can you tell me how to fix it?
From Inbox check Tools/Options/Keep copy of sent mail in Sent folder
As for the four hour delay - I get that sometimes - I put it down to O2 network.
