IMPORTANT: New O2 ROM 1.40 with good features...

[nforsans]

I think no-one has picked it up yet as I can't find trace of it in the forum but O2 UK has released a new ROM for the BA, XdaIIs.

I installed it - seems to be all right. Big improvements:
O2 Active UI v3.6.024 -well, seems to be more stable than previous versions
Bluetooth build 3900
Radio build 1.12
Windows mobile CE version 1.40
BlackBerry Connect v2.0
Removal of Photo Contacts

AND AND AND.... are you ready?

WINDOWS MEDIA PLAYER 10! I am not joking. I've got it on my BA.
Strange O2 does not list WMP10 in the features of the new ROM.
:D

Download it from http://www.my-xda.com/

You'll need your O2 number and IMEI to accessd the software upgarde section of the site.

Enjoy. :D :D

In another thread on here (I can't remember which one) someone who works for 02 said that they've stopped selling the XDA2s due to 'system problems'. Strange they'd do that just after releasing a new ROM :S

chances are that they are clearing old stock for the new xda exec as they now have a new device, the upgarde is just an upgrade, even if they do carry on selling the 2s i dont think o2 have the brains to ship it with the new rom, they tend to leave customers to fend for themselves and if you know nothing about upgrading like us on here, you have no chance.

I have had my XDA IIs for nearly a year now and have been running the ROM version that came on it without too many problems, but i thought i would upgrade it to the newest version because of WM10, now that i have there is a problem with it that is REALLY bugging me; First, i have my brightness level low so as to conserve battery life, but when i use the camera it goes to full brightness which is not a problem, it is when i finish using the camera and close it down it stays on full brightness unless i go to the screen settings and change it back to how i had it originaly.

Does anyone know how to sort this? Thanks

If you look on the Wiki there is information as to how to obtain the camera.exe file from an alternate ROM which you can then copy over the new one.

I messed around with this when I tried upgrading to WM2005.

Look for section on camera

Will this patch work for WM2003 SE?

[HuSkYbOb]

Its just an exe not a patch
Try it, (keeping your new one) and if it doesn't work then you can revert to original.

Didn't do anything, still got the problem.

I was trying to do the same thing, but half way, the phone automatically stop and now it would not start. It will only show Serial on the top of the screen and v2.07 on the bottom. If I put it on the cradle, the Active Sync could not recognize it and the screen will show USB on top and v2.07 on the bottom. Soft reset, full reset, removal of battery just would start it gaian. I don't have the desk top screen back. I cannot use it at all. Can someone out there please help???!!

Well i had this rom on my xda2s, i have now sacked it off and gone back to the launch rom and upgraded the radio stack and bluetooth myself. Got sick of having to reset the backlight manually everytime i used the camera! Not bothered about WM10, never use it, only use TCPMP for media. Wish i had done this in the first place!

Have you tried the guide on WIKI here? -> http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.42.00_Upgrade

Look under the heading "First Method (Quick/Easy) (TYPE II)".

This should help you restore your device!
