I've got a weird ROM version ! What is it ?

[marcuskeeler]

I bought my O2-XDA in the netherlands about 18 months ago. It's quite an early version and was looking into upgrading the ROM's.
However, I hear that one has to be extra careful in selecting the correct ROM pak for the phone and identifying "my phone" seems to be a problem.

Indeed, when registering for this forum, I was asked for my ROM versions, but neither of mine are in the list :shock:

My Versions are as follows:

ROM 3.02.00 ENG
date 05/27/02
Radio 4.01
Prot 324e2

I've experienced the usual crashes and leaking resources, but I suppose it's not been a bad phone, but I'm tempted to have a go at upgrading.

What are your thoughts on my ROM types ??

Thanks
Marcus

For the Radio part, as long as it's working do NOT touch it!!

For the ROM, you can upgrade to any WM2003 ROM, but read through this forum to get some learned lessons before trying.

Good luck

Sounds good. I remain nervous about upgrading though and will initially endeavour to backup my current ROM to SD.

As mine is a fairly early incarnation i guess the number of improvements is going to be vast, but what are the more significant points that have been successfully developed over the evolution ?

There's nothing wrong with that ROM - it's the original version from Xda launch!

Thanks for your help. :shock:

As I said, I know it's an early one but it wasn't in the list and I didn't want to risk an update until I was sure it was ok to do so.

I whacked on the XDA Developers ROM and it took it alright. I guess that a move forward but I've yet to really see anything which is different.
