View Full Version : O2 settings on an XDA with the T-mobile 1.72 Beta ROM

I have installed the T-mobile 1.72 Beta ROM update on my O2 XDA. Everything has installed just fine and it appears to be working great. The addition of the Fax module is really welcome although a little buggy has allowed me to send a number of faxes.

The BT stack now gives me an extra option on my Widcom BT software on my desktop pc. It seems much more stable than the O2 stack.

My only problem is that all my MMS, SMS, GPRS and WAP settings are for T-Mobile UK and not O2 Ireland. I have tried to enter them manually with little success.

After reading through some of the other threads would it be possible to take the relevant cab files from an O2 1.60 (latest ROM) Extended ROM and copy them onto my PDA and then run them to install the settings? I also miss the O2 Active screen and would like to install that as well. If this is possible could and please tell me that it is!!!! Would someone be kind enough to send me the relevant Cab files?

Many thanks in advance for any help or advice.

I have downloaded the extended ROM that you mentioned but it seems to just contain the T-Mobile stuff. I would like a copy of the O2 Extended ROM if possible and just install the O2 settings and Active.

Thanks

If you have an old backup, you can replace that with the new one you have now. And then runt the desired CAB files (Camera, mms, andsoon) from the new 1.72 upgrade.

Here you go mate...

Attached is a ZIP file, containing a folder.

In it, are ALL the O2 files found in an O2 Extended ROM, as per 1.60.00 ROM Upgrade, O2 WWE.

I am not sure exactly which CAB is the settings file (can anyone tell me what the GPRS settings file CAB is called in an extended ROM), so you will have to find it yourself.

It also includes the O2 Active stuff.

Hope it helps.

Download it quick, becuase I'm not sure the legalities of posting it here, and also its a big file, so using up a lot of my space, so I wanna delete it soon.

Thanks Shadamehr

I downloaded the ROM ran the Cabs and I now have O2 connection settings and O2 active. Thank you so much.

My next project is to copy the o2 files to the extended 1.72 ROM so that if I require a hard reset it will install the O2 stuff and the newer 1.72 files etc.

Out of interest the application for unhiding and unlocking the Extended ROM requires the sending of "arguments" how do you do this on Pocket PC. i am familiar with doing this on a desktop PC. Any help would again be appreciated.

Thanks to you all.

Er, you've totally lost me mate.

For the Unlocker, all I do, is copy the cab file for it over to my XDA2, then use File Manager on the XDA2 to locate the file, and click to run.

This installs it.

Then, if you go into programs, there is a new folder, next to games, for the extRom tools.

Open that, and you can hide/unhide, and lock/unlock the extended ROM.

It sometimes requires a soft reboot.

When it is unlcoked and unhidden, you can simply delete all files in it, and copy the whole O2 folder contents into it that I posted.

Then, after a hard reset, it will install all the programs in the extended rom.

Not sure what all these 'argument' things are you mention mate, sorry.

Did not see the programme group had been using the application via the file explorer and it was asking for "arguments". Thanks for the help.
