It wont improve your siganl at all but its worth having the newest version ...

You will need to upgrade the whole thing, as you cant just upgrade the radio rom seperately.

check here for Pugs upgrade mod http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=25801 its on the 2nd or third page in.

Try this (can't be sure if it'll work though so try this at your own risk).

Download this file below:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/O2%20Alpine%20Roms/Modified%20XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162%20Radio_1.3.r ar

Un-RAR up the archive using Winrar to a folder on your desktop. Open the folder that you have just extracted and delete MS_.NBF and NK.NBF

Backup all your data (especially contacts and personal documents) to your PC or preferably memory card as updating will essentially perform a hard reset and wipe everything on your alpine (except storage and memory card).

Connect your alpine to your pc and run MaUpgradeUT_noid.exe. The update will fail, just run it a second time and it should work. This should in theory upgrade just the radio stack.

If you're able to upload the ROM update that you are using to the following folder then I will be able to Make sure that the Rom will work before you try it on your alpine. I can't download any of the asia rom's from here but they will be on the CD that came with your alpine.

Thanks in advance if you can do this.

This means your device is in bootloader mode - keep the device connected via actisync and open the file you were installing once again on the oc - should work normally now... be patient

Hi this happened to me during the last two stages (Extended and CE) of upgrade. It seems to cause some kind of power dip through USB as my usb mouse stopped working in one incident. This is what I did to perform the upgrade:

1st attempt:

Followed instructions with MAUpgrade_noid.exe etc.
2nd run of program worked and the re-flash carried on going.
Flash stage 1 (radio stack) OK
Flash Stage 2 (Extended) 34% and power reset.

XDA IIi turned on with hard reset but no customisations (I guess the extended section was corrupt after partial flash).

Started again (from stage 1) and this time reset at 81% during stage 2.

Again the xda turned on ok so this time I removed the radio stack file from the upgrade directory (radio_.nbf - make a copy) this means the flash only upgrades stage 2 and 3.

This time it powered off during winCE upgrade (stage 3). This time the xda just stayed on the splash screen. After initial panic I put the device in bootloader mode (power+rest+action button) and docked it in the cradle. I then removed the extended flash file (ms_.nbf I think) so the only 'nbf' file left in the directory was nk_nbf (winCE) and ran the upgrade program again. The program then went on to upgrade just that part of the rom.

I would like to stress I am not an expert I gleaned this approach from one of the threads in this forum. I had also made a rom backup of my original rom and thought if I cannot get the new one in I knew how to restore the old one.

If I was you I would do the following:
1. Copy the whole directory for the rom.
2. Put the device into bootloader mode.
3. Delete all nbf files other than radio_.nbf and run the upgrade utility.
4. Delete radio_.nbf and copy ms_.nbf from the original directory.
5. Run the upgrade utility again.
6. Delete ms_.nbf and copy nk_.nbf from the original directory.Repeat
7. Run the upgrade utility again.
8. Once all complete hard rest device.

Each time do not touch the xda just leave it in the cradle, swap the nbf file for the next and then run the upgrade program again. If you get a PC reset then start that one upgrade again (with device in bootloader mode).

Anyone who knows their stuff please feel free to ammend or correct the above strategy.

anyone know how long this upgrade should take?

[pug]

The upgrades normally take me 30 minutes or so. 45 to get all my software back on it.

To stop these update errors due to power dips, plug the cradle into the the mains using the power adaptor and this will stop the device drawing any significant power from the usb connection from your computer. This power dip is more likely caused by a "dirty" power supply, which in the UK for certain is unavoidable without the use of UPS devices. The power adapter for the phone will damp out any minor fluctuations and leave the usb socket to do just data transfer. This transfer puts little strain on the usb socket and isn't as prone to power fluctuations then.

By doing this you should be able to update in a one-er. Also try using a laptop rather than a desktop as they are by design less prone to power fluctuations too.

upgraded fine :) nice one

I wonder will the universal rom work on the qtek 2020i?
I dont know if this has been asked yet

[Danny-B-]

It wont work ... ROMs for each device are pretty much device specific, they need the right drivers etc embedded so it works.

So even though the XDA II looks exactly like the XDA IIi they are completely different, which also means the Universal is completely different too.

your spot on i found out the hard way last night till 3am lol :lol:
