I've currently followed the instructions for the 1.31 with Arabic and different radio file because that's exactly same original hardware as my UK O2 XDA IIs.

But I've ran the BaUpgradeUt.exe and it confirmed the version changes, but now it doesn't seem to be doing much.

Phone has gone dark and simply says:

USB
v2.06

And the Upgrade program says: Checking the information on the device please wait.

And a warning not to disconnect it.

Erm this is my first flashing so just a little worried I've toasted my new device :-( I can appreciate it takes a while to transfer 30Mb odd over USB, but it hasn't done anything for almost 10 minutes now :-(

Help please? :-(

Thanks!

And I think I've solved my own problem. Everything you need really is in this forum... somewhere :-)

For everyone else who stumbles over this looking for same thing. I simply took battery out for 30 mins (to flatten backup I assume) and then hard reset it (comes up with serial v2.06 at point you unplug from cradle) and then restarted PC and re-ran update program and SEEMS to be going okay at the moment!

Hi,

I have the O2 XDA IIs just like you too but still with the original ROM. You can get a copy of the original ROM from O2 now off their myxda uk site if there are any problems.

Have you got a step by step guide of how you upgraded to 1.31?

Cheers

Hi,

Take a look at the Wiki site. It has all the info on there. I'm now running a 1.31 main ROM (was originally 1.12), a 1.06.02 radio (originally 1.02 I think) and an extended ROM that is hacked up from Orange's (the network I'm actually on!) as well as my own choice of programs etc. Wiki has all the info! It rocks! Thanks to the guys (and gals?) who write it!

:-)
