I see it also still has the rubbish BT3900 :(

[efcmandan]

@MDAIIIUser
Can you extract the EXT rom with your magic non public tool??

Or would xcalibur be so kind as to upload it

[HDuser]

Bosjo

I Pmed xcalibur and he does not feel comfoftable with the ExtRom unlocking.

I will download it and extract but it will be in the morning before I can do anything about it.

[BoSJo]

@MDAIIIUser
Whenever you have time, I'm not expecting any sensation out off it anyway :?

[richfong]

Dear Wiki,

I downloaded the rom, and I extracted it. I following the instructions. I got the country ID error after run BaUpgradeUt.exe.

I tried to use xda3nbftool.exe to fix the rom, but still get the wrong password warning.

I tried to use xda3nbftool -t ms_.nbf > password.txt to get the password, but still get the same message, wrong password.

I am stopping now and searching the post. What can I do now ? Thanks a lot !

Richard

[BoSJo]

Dear Wiki


http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade

This should do the trick for you. Dont use xda3nbftool on this ROM

[TheLastOne]

I'll check out the extended rom when it's done downloading.

Adendum

Damn this is one complicated rom. There is a TON of customization stuff, and TONS of registry entries.

There are only three things that have stood out.

1) Phone Band Selection: BandSel_BAWWE_140921.sa.CAB
- I've played with this a bit, their cab is actually fucked up, as they have tried to get 6 selections onto the page when only 5 are possible. Through the registry you can have any band configuration you want selectable. I personally LOVE this feature.

2) O2Asia_patch_140921.sa.CAB. This cab has TONS of stuff that i have no idea if they are improvements. AudioGW (seems to be the one from January 25 already floating around), GPRSAuthentication.exe, tiacxwln.dll, WModem.exe, XBackup.exe and some registry stuff, but I have NO idea if anything is an improvement.

3) Midi: MIDI_RTPI_BA26_RC21.CAB. Old one was labelled RC20, but the cab is very different than the RC20 one. The only significant file in the RC21 file seems to be the same as was in the RC20 cab, without some of the other RC20 files.

Other than that, I've noticed this extended rom seems to fuck up WMP10's default button config to something stupid (and intended according to the registry keys), but you can set those back no problem.

I still have a TON more investigation to do.

[icohen2005]

i download this rom upgrade after skip the country problem and using xtool3
i still facing a error the radio sum is wrong
i already have the rom upgrade 1.40 the q if this all worth the upgrade

[HDuser]

@TheLastOne

Seems you have extracted the exr rom, do you think that you could cook it and post it to Wiki, you seem to be getting good at that. I will move the files and fix the links.

(cook is on holiday)

[TheLastOne]

Sure. I'll rar them all up and put them in the Uploads\BlueAngel folder named as 1.40.923Ext.rar

I'll have wiki updated within a few hours.

Addendum:

It's been uploaded.

[keelinlee]

Thanks for the update :D Successul to keep the ROM update on my IIs

[TheLastOne]

MDAIIIUser, I just realized it would make my life much more difficult to try and write wiki before you moved the files to their perminent locations. I have everything ready to make the page when you move the files to their proper locations.

All I need to know is where you put which cabs.

[studdocs]

Hi,

[Guest]

Okay,

I installed it on my O2 XdaIIs (it's from KL).

Looking good till now..

edit.. Problem with WM10 / Exit and no audio is still there :-(

[TheLastOne]

Hemant, I have already uploaded the full Extended Rom to the 923 version.

[HDuser]

Thread moved from BA section to upgrading as most new roms are here.

[HDuser]

@TheLastOne

Sorry missed your post.

Please make a dir with rom name under uploads, then a erk dir like in the kitchen (think 4 not sure am on pda).

I will move the files and fix the links as well as add the splash screens. Will be on monday my weekend with my kids.

[TheLastOne]

Ok. Sounds good. I'll get on it right away.

[xcalibur]

though not appearing in the Philippine XDA IIs support window, the new rom update supports GPRS setting for the following telecom: Globe, Smart and Sun Cellular in the Philippines. Good thing that Globe issued XDAs are unlocked.

I noticed know that I could play video with Internet Explorer unlike with the Old Rom. I am very happy watching video clips from www.inq7.net.

I am very easy to please so overall I am happy with the new ROM update.

[Hemant]

Hemant, I have already uploaded the full Extended Rom to the 923 version.

@TheLastOne,

Thanks. I could upload anyways as it was giving me access denied problems.

Hemant.

[biscuitee]

Still unable to successfully upgrade.

First try upgrading , the system prompt me with Country ID error
Next, I uses MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe to upgrade. The system now prompt me with Radio Bootloader version error.

Anyone has any idea how can i proceed from here?

My XDA is now dead ....*sob* *sob*

[ferrarista44]

successful upgrade. :)

however, i was looking forward to the desktop button for switching to landscape/portrait like that of the XDA Mini. sadly, none yet for the new upgrade.

[studdocs]

Just install the newer version of O2 Plus for the desctop botton to flip the screen!

i am installing the latest cab file.... just run it!

[TheLastOne]

Wiki updated. All links are broken until MDAIIIUser moves the files.

You can find the extended rom files in the Uploads\Blue Angel\ Directory in the FTP.

[biscuitee]

Just wondering any expert there can help me solve the radio bootloader version error when I run the O2 Asia rom update?

I have been reading thru the Wiki and still couldn't find a solution to it.... Need to get my XDA up and running again soon...... HELP!

[HDuser]

@TheLastOne

Nice work, well done, I hated the 1.31 asian rom when I had to cook it am glad you took over that job.

I will add the splash screens on monday.

Could You please update
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Available_Ext_Roms
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Patches_14x
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_ERK_Applications

If needed that is as well as check your links.

BTW I moved MIDI_RTPI_BA26_RC20.CAB to leftovers.

Is MIDI_RTPI_BA26_RC21.CAB a replacement for MIDI561.sa.CAB?

Thanks again, I know how much work it is.

[TheLastOne]

MDAIIIUser,

MIDI_RTPI_BA26_RC21.CAB is a strange file. It seems to be the same as RC20, but without some of the other files that RC20 contains.

I would leave the RC20 patch as it was, as the RC21 doesn't seem to be a proper REPLACEMENT.

I will update those pages ASAP.


Addendum: The RC21 that is included in the Asian rom is a farce. It contains the same dll as in the I-Mate rom but not the other 2 files accompanied. Put the RC20 cab back, as it is still the newest version.

[hal]

- I AM NOT FACING ANY PROBLEMS WITH THE BLUETOOTH OR THE OTHER PARTY NOT HEARING MY VOICE...


I find it hard to believe! I had to switch back to my XDA2 because of the poor BT quality, even with another 1.40 in my 9090.

So no crackling sound during conversatioon, no poor signal etc?

Anyone cares to confirm?

As a side note: I'd like to thank MDAIIIuser, Buzz-Lightyear, xda2jojo and all the others who make an extroardinary job. I might have been somewhat of a lurker, but you greatly helped me in improving my knowledge and the usability of my HTC's babies.

[SKassam]

I still have the GPRS problem with this legal ROM on my Asia XDAIIs. Is the registry fix the best one or is there a more simpler fix?

Thanks.

[studdocs]

well, i nvr til date had any problem with sound on my XDA IIs and even with this rom the same is true....

as far as gprs is concerned, 1.31 rom used to give me some problems - it would connect off and on, even though the corect settiings were fed! like GPRS connectivity was moody!

but it was solved with i-mate 1.40 rom but the GPRS wont disconnect on its own!

in this GPRS connects well, disconnect after few mins. of inactivity, etc... so no probs now!

and anyways i'd like to persist with my this 1.40 rom untill the XDA IIs is in warranty period as O2 have strictly started disclaiming their waranty if the ROM is fiddled with something else than their own!

so all take care!

[rcbear]

I got this strange problem, after upgrading, when I use my phone camera, it will set the back light to max setting, even after i turn off the camera, the back light setting remains the same..

Any with me on this one? :roll:

[studdocs]

yeah, this problem exists with this rom... but how often do we use our camera? atleast i nvr use it... rather nim one is covered by the krusel case with the option of exposing it if needed!

so as compared to the problems it legally solves, this is a petty issue!

[oreokat]

After upgrading my XDA IIs (originally shipped from HK) with this new ROM, I find the constant reconnection to GPRS a real hassle. Wi-fi and GPRS were not working well; certain apps were hanging and I looked into the extended ROM.

After disabling most of the O2 Asia customized CABs, it is now very stable. GPRS does not disconnect and works much better than before (except the bug with camera brightness not reverting to previous setting and WMP 10 losing sound if quit when playing).

Here's my customized config.txt (inside the extended ROM, unlocked and unhidden):

[oreokat]

You need to unlock and unhide your extended ROM (check Wiki).

After two days, I'm still not happy with the new ROM (and this config.txt) because there are still problems connecting and reconnecting. Bluetooth is also not behaving well, don't know if any of my installed apps are conflicting...

[chris_khho]

Still have the old problems with this ROM.........

One more problem is the battery running out quickly.

Let's try the new radio, see whether its better.....

See the following thread:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=23773&highlight=

[adbradwell]

guys why am I still having error when upgrading? it's always stop when the bar reaches 51%. And only for the nk.nbf. But the radio was sucessfully upgraded. This is my friend's BA. He tried to upgrade it with XDA2 1.72 rom. Wow it's so messy now. It's stuk in the bootloader. I cannot use the GetDeviceId. But this XDA2s is already resgistered in www.seeo2.com. Could someone help me. I never upgrade XDA2s. Only XDA2.
thx b4.

[nomadman]

I upgraded last week. I don't know about GPRS functionallity but it takes just under a minute to connect to ActiveSync via wifi. With older shipped roms, pre 1.40, it only tooks 3 seconds to connect to activesync, If I can find a trusted radio rom, this current radio rom is vacating.

ps. Over all stability is quite well. No crashes thus far and all apps have no problem. including the shipped ones from ext. rom. excluding the camera backlinght problem of course.

[studdocs]

hi,
could u tell me the procedure to connect to active sync via wifi?

mine takes a long time 2 syncronize with active sync.. via the cradle!

[heathcaban]

Ok Guys,

I need your help...I have completly f*&%ked my XDA IIs.

It all started yesterday when I tried to update the Asian 1.4 ROM update from the see02 website last night with bluetooth connection.... DON"T do it!! How dumb am I , about half way through it clicked.....ummm how exactly is it going to finish the install if it resets and the connection drops out.

So I was faced with a black screen that says v2.07 which I know know to be the bootloader screen. Why don't they mention this in the install so idiots like me don't do this. Many topics on the matter suggest just plugging it in to the cradle and start again.

So after getting my cradle from work I have set out tonight to do just that. However.... My bootloader screen has disappeared ?? It used to say USB 2.07 like I mentioed b4, but now it is just blank. I have tried soft reset and hard resets all day with no love.

This presents a different problem, as now I put it in the cradle (power light comes on) however when I run the ROM installer it says it can't detect my XDA.

After hours of hard resets, bootloader resets, active sync attempts I finally got the install to start again.

It is really wierd actually, at one point I had given up and then about 20min later the pc recognised the device in USB and the XDA screen came back saying USB 2.07.

So I got to stage 3 on the install and received an error message 112: CE Rom Updater saying that there has been a 'problem' and I need to do a soft reset.

Derrrr....of course there is a problem.

You can imagine a soft reset does f all and I am back to square 1, full blank screen. No response after hard reset, bootloader reset.

This is my second attempt/time on the merrygoround.

So yes I will keep trying and look all over the web for a way to fix error 112.....goddamn 112.

But if anyone has any advice, that would be good too.

Anyone who is still reading I really appreciate your dedication to helping other people, thankyou!

to bring ur screen back to 2.07 mode try putting the device into boot loader mode:

Boot Loader Mode
You can enter or exit bootloader mode by pressing the camera button, power button and then the reset button and hold for a few seconds.

now place it in the cradle and run the update again... i think u should suceed... else take the device to the service center...it should still be in warranty and any errors during a genuine update are covered under warranty...

[heathcaban]

Thanks but I have tried Power+Record+Soft Reset many times with no response.

It looks like I might have to send it back, surely there is a fix out there for a dead XDA IIs.

Anyone ??

Thanks

Remove Battery
Replace Battery
Turn on device
Put in cradle which has power!!!

Check the lights to see if you are getting power
rerun flash

Well its worth a try

[the.amadeus]

Updated fine on my XDA2s, AU.

[icohen2005]

as far till nopw i upgrade to the dutch new rom and all the problem mention here are looking a lot better on this rom

[heathcaban]

Well after 3 days and 3 nights of working on this little baby I got it working.

Just incase anyone else has this problem got to - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.40.00_Upgrade
and follow the second version (slowest and hardest install)


Second Method (Slower/Harder)

Download the Type I 1.40.00 CE Rom (from the Qtek update)

Download the Type I Upgrade Utilities

Download the Type I 1.12.00 Radio Rom

Extract the three files to a common directory

Follow the instructions here to use xda3nbftool.exe to modify the roms for your device information gathered by GetDeviceData.exe

After you have modified the Radio and CE Roms for your device, run the BaUpgradeUt.exe to upgrade.

Since you have only upgraded your CE and Radio Roms, you will now have to visit the Kitchen to bring your Extended Rom up to 1.40.xxx


Anyway be patient, it seems it doesn't work and then about 20min the screen just comes on.

Good luck and remember kiddies, don't upgrade the rom using bluetooth active sync, always use the cable....and don't run with scissors.

Heath

PS thanks to all those that tried to help

After upgrading my XDA IIs (originally shipped from HK) with this new ROM, I find the constant reconnection to GPRS a real hassle. Wi-fi and GPRS were not working well; certain apps were hanging and I looked into the extended ROM.

After disabling most of the O2 Asia customized CABs, it is now very stable. GPRS does not disconnect and works much better than before (except the bug with camera brightness not reverting to previous setting and WMP 10 losing sound if quit when playing).

Here's my customized config.txt (inside the extended ROM, unlocked and unhidden):

EXEC:\Extended_ROM\TPDisable.exe

Does anyone know if this new O2 Asia ROM disables GSM 1900?

The reason I ask is there is no such option under the Phone | Band settings. It only has:

Automatic
GSM 850
GSM 900
GSM 1800
GSM 900/1800

Also, I can't connect to my regular carrier (Fido) who uses 1900, but it now uses Rogers (850 & 1900)... Any idea?

[hdubli]

Hi Guys...
Looks like problems with O2 asia ROM!!!!!

I hv put it on my PDA 2k and I am finding it best of all the ROMs.What I did differrent is I did not install the Extended ROM and the Radio is 1.13.

After the Upgrade, I unlocked the Ext ROM, then installed only those CABs which are necessary such as MMS...CallerID etc.Also installed Band Choose CAB.
My experience is that, one should choose the Band of the service provider and not the option "Automatic"...For Ex, herein India I am with Airtel which operates on 1800 Mhz and I hv selected that option in that.

I am finding Radio very very clear, the BT also doesn't go into sleeep mode...no call drops...Good instant GPRS connection....Above all very good voice clarity..

I hope, this helps u guys...

[SKassam]

oreokat,

The O2 Asia ROM does not disable GSM 1900 because that is what I use in the US under Tmobile. My XDA IIs just reverts to Automatic and everything runs fine. Is the SIM card sitting in the phone properly?

Yes it should be sitting properly, it is getting the other carrier (Rogers), which is also integrating with Fido. Perhaps that's why... Thanks.

[dhruvkataria]

Hi
Would it be possible for you to post this rom as I am unable to download it becoz my phone is regd in UK .

Dhruv

[Guinness]

My O2 Xda IIs also has no option under the Phone | Band settings for 1900. Like oreokat said, it only has:

Automatic
GSM 850
GSM 900
GSM 1800
GSM 900/1800

So I have mine set to Automatic in order for it to work... but seem ti be having problems with the device 'waking itself up' to try and connect or sync (maybe with the network???) Is there any Radio stack that has the Rogers (850 & 1900) Band Settings? Any idea?

Hi, the problem you are all describing has nothing to do with the Radio Stack. There is a flaw in the CAB file that enables the Band Settings tab. The band setting tab can display 5 entries, the CAB tries to display 6 entries. As a result, the 6th entry, GSM 1900 is not displayed. This flaw was not caught until after the CAB file was released. There is a thread on this site which outlines the different choices, and their associated values.

I had no gprs connection problem long time ago since I upgraded to this rom.

Unfortunately, nearly everytime after using for a while on gprs connection, when I want to switch to wifi by wireless manager, I can't get connection!!!

I must do a softreset which is even worse than the gprs problem since I can turn on and off flight mode to solve this.

Anybody has the same problem. In addition, the BT memory problem is definitely bothering me nearly everyday and only a softreset can help this again.

Cheers,

[neil_swann80]

I have a Orange m2000 aka xdaIIs, was wondering if it would be ok to install the new 1.4 asia O2 rom???

Mainly want it for WMP10 due to the streaming video etc.

Have red some mixed reports about the new rom, is it actually better than 1.31???

[abc-def]

I have a problem, my XDA always do hard reset when I change my sim card. So I decide to upgrade my software with this asia rom.

My device data is PH20B 0 B WWE E O2___001 
  1.31.00 0 0 1.31.139 1.06.00 06.00

But when I try to upgrade it says Error 120: Country ID Error: 22-22-25-25-25.

My questions is
1. If I upgrade to this rom, do you think it will resolve the hard reset problem?
2. Why get country error even my device data says I'm use WWE.

Thanks for any help

[Elite]

yes, that's happening to me too now... awhat should I do? mine also says Error 120: Country ID Error: 22-22-25-25-25.
but I do have WWE version in my xda IIs

please help me..

[negatong]

Use the attached EXE to upgrade. At first time, you may still get the ID Error, don't worry, keep the BA stay in cradle, run the EXE again, you will make it.

Good luck!

[tamerjammer]

Yep, but that means you have to login - my xda iis is a Chinese model and I need the English ROM; O2 don't want to supply the English ROM to me because of "Licensing Concerns" and Wm5 is not working for me.

Got a Bit torrent or a FTP I can d/load it from?
