Vodafone VPX rom wanted

[Biohead]

I've had a look around the FTP but to no avail.

Is there a WWE VPX rom around anywhere, or a link to download one from the voda site? I've tried looking but not found one yet.

Device is PH20B currently on 1.42, 1.13 and O2 ext rom from their latest release.

looking for the same thing for months, no luck either

Is it possible to steal the theme then from the VPA ROM? The cool red and silver one.


What I have done is use the T-Mob 1.42 ROM with the VPA Ext Rom.

The main language was english, but anything that was installed by the ext rom became german - so not much use to me.

[lordao]

yep

did the same thing, does not work well

I've got a German VPX rom. As I'm a lazy muppet can anyone host this for me / walk me through uploading it to the FTP? It's no longer on their site.

I'm searching for the newst ROM file for the Vodafone VPx..
Rightnow I have
Rom version: 1.22.00 WWE
Rome Date: 10/22/04
Radio version: 1.06.00
Protocol version: 1337.38
ExtROM version: 1.22.155 WWE

I assume it's too old ROM, Where to find the new one?
Should the one for PDA2K or Qtek9090 ROM work on my device??

Waiting for reply

Downloaded the Vodafone skin posted above, thanks :)

However does anyone have the UK Vodafone Ext ROM, or even a WWE one from somewhere else? I assume the company specific Ext ROM adds different functionality other than a skin...

Aim is to use most current ROM/Radio on O2 XDA IIs with a vodafone Ext ROM as I'll be using a Vodafone SIM... noticed a German Ext ROM for Vodafone VPAIII dated 140206 on the FTP site, can this be switched to English, and is it compatible with the O2 XDAIIs etc.?

Well a search gave me this thread

http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=46603&highlight=voda%2A

The rom is old and not in the wiki list due to the fact nobody cared to add it even though its no the ftp site.

Yip, been there, seen that, but I dont kow how to extract the ext rom stuff from the .exe

So I did search, I did read, but I didn't know what the next step was, hence the reason for asking someone to upload an ext rom to the kitchen other than the GER versions...

OK, went back to the WIKI and now realise that all I need is the ms_.nbf file from the WWE version mentioned above :shock: :D :shock: The question now is, how can I install that with a 1.40/1.42 ROM?

Well you don't

The Ext rom conmsits of apps and patches that are made for a rom version.

The apps are no problem the patches are as they will over write the files that have most likely been updated in the new rom.
(As in BT stack in 1.22 ships as 1.xx in the rom,
got updated to 1.xy in the ext rom
and the rom 1.40 its now 1.yy.
Run the ext rom then you are back to 1.xy)

So if you want to have the same carrier related stuff on a none same carrier rom then you save the cabs of the ext rom before you upgrade.

As for the vodaphone thing, well we have had no ship roms in the 1.4x family and no wwe ext roms uploaded. So what ever you want to do you have yourself.

BA kitchen goes into that in more detail I know as I wrote it.

OK, finally took the plunge...

O2 XDAIIs arrived yesterday, Rom 1.31... updated straight away to the O2 update from there site (available on this site Xda_IIs_Upgrade_v140242.exe) and all went well... I then added a Vodafone skin but that wasn't really good enough :( It meant I still had the O2 Active gubbins all over my PDA which is of course no use...

Long night ahead I thought... and I was right :D

I now have the 1.42 CE ROM with the 1.15 Radio ROM and a cooked version of the Vodafone German EXT_ROM with many of the items replaced with the most current items from the Kitchen!

I still have a few niggles... double entries of files etc such as Windows media player, album etc (1 GER, 1 WWE) but the GER ones crap out and the WWE ones work... all I need to do now is work out which bits are installed by what in the original stuff and I should be able to sort it...

I have one request... could someone please post the UK Vodaphone version of the CAB which sets up the Vodafone Live! stuff? my vodafone live is all screwed up and looking for German stuff...

I will keep you informed in a new thread as to how my continued conversion goes!

Thanks to all who have updated the forum/Wiki it has been no end of help and I have a hybrid set of roms, with a cooked ext_rom and fully functional WiFi/BT/GPRS/MMS witin 24 hrs of receiving my XDA and taking the plunge... major kudos to you all!

As MDAUSERIII says... read the Wiki, and all will become clear!

Awesome link! D/Ling just now... then reflash (again!)

I'm now in a bit of a quandry... having finally got a data enabled device (BA as opposed to my mobile and Palm T3) I am now looking to use my data services more, but I have looked around for the best deals (I use PAYG) and it looks to be between O2 and Orange... the price of data on Vodafone is just too damned high...

I'l load this up and see how it goes first... thanks for your help :)
