UPDATED ROM XDAIIi - 1.11.170 with Radio 1.04.00

[sybaseian]

o2 have just released the above. I've upgraded my XDAIIi to the latest version.

The only problem I'm getting is with Blackberry not connecting to their server. As it's past the helpdesks bedtime I'll give them a call in the morning.

[undernewbie]

Where you got this ROM?Can you share it !

I am new to this web site. The upgrade instruction keeps reminding everyone that the upgrade file is ONLY FOR O2 sold in UK and Ireland.

I live in US, but I bought my O2 from Indonesia. Would I have problem if I upgrad my O2 ROM using the file? :?:

If you don't plan on using Blackberry, then you may as well use the following:

ftp://xda:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Alpine/Modified%20XDA_IIi_Upgrade_v1.11.162_Radio_1.04.ra r

It is just a previous ROM with the 1.04 radio instead of the 1.00 O2 insisted on using.

Have a look at this posting as well.

looks like o2 are having major problems with 1.11.170 and blackberry. I've spent most of the morning on call back from o2 tech support trying to get the blackberry service re-initialised after flashing the ROM.

From their end, everytime it tries to send the service book to my XDAIIi it keeps getting errors and I can't get an IP address from the DHCP server.

As a test I've re-flashed the ROM to 1.11.169 and was able to re-initialise and send emails from the XDAIIi.

I have again re-flashed the ROM to 1.11.170 and have NOT been able to connect to the blackberry service.

looks like I'll be going back to 1.11.169 for the time being until o2 manage to sort out this problem.

[sybaseian]

Just had anaother conversation with o2 tech support and they are aware that there is a major problem with 1.11.170 and are likely to pull the software from the website until they have a fix. The have advised me to re-flash back to 1.11.169 and use the calendar work-around until they release another update.

If we don't use blackberry, so can we still use this new Rom version?

Do you mind sharing the O2 tech support contact information. I could not find it anywhere. :cry:

If they want to get the software sorted why don't they give a copy of the Rom to users like us that may be happy to try it out to see if it works in the real world, rather then dropping software that doesn't work, looks like two in a row for them not gd at all.

I think that I was the first to report the problem this morning.

Seems that the problem is when you try to connect to their DHCP server to get an IP address, which it sends to your XDA but for some reason the XDA is not storing it and therefore the Blackberry server never gets a handshake to confirm your allocated IP address.

This then stops the service book being sent from blackberry to your XDA, hence no connection and no email.

i dont use the blackberry... but my phone is crashing all the time.

i dont use the blackberry... but my phone is crashing all the time.

I think this Rom update is not much neccessary.

About radio 1.04 we have already found somewhere in this site this radio version

About Rom 1.11.170, it is only a name and we already know that we can modified Extended Rom of O2i and named it whatever we want

Thanks

at least someone answer just like me

Looks like the 1.11.170 ROM has been withdrawn by O2. All you can get is 1.11.169. No hardship for most of us as we don't use Blackberry which is the only reason for upgrading to 169 or beyond. My opinion is that the "stability issues" they keep fixing are because of the O2 crap anyway, I've removed it all and have no problems with my 2i.

If you don't use Blackberry, don't upgrade past either of the modified 162 ROM found on this site.

Merry Christmas all,

PUG.

o2 Tech Support just called me to confirm that there is a problem with the Radio Version in 1.11.170 and authetication with the RIM blackberry server. They have now escalated the issue back to HTC and RIM to sort out between themselves.

Happy Xmas.

I am at the point ready to upgrade, but I notice something:

The upgrade software shows that the upgrade will upgrade my XDA from

Device CE image version: 1.11.00
Device Extended image version: 1.11.923
Device Radio image: 1.00.00

to

Device CE image version: 1.11.00
Device Extended image version: 1.11.162
Device Radio image: 1.04.00

It seems that my "Device Extended Image version" is higher than the upgrad software. Does any one know about this?

[pug]

The version number is lower because you have the aisan rom on your device and the 162 is the O2 version number. They will be as good as each other, they'll just have slightly different software installed. If anything, 162 is the one of newest ROMs available. If you're happy with the current extended ROM, just delete the ms_.nbf and the nk.nbf. This will allow you to update just the radio version to the latest 1.04.

Hope this helps.

[bigballs]

I managed to get version Xda_IIi_Upgrade_v111170 to work by putting the Radio Version back to 1.0.0 and uisng the _noID.exe upgrade Package.

Been working for the last few hours ok so I'm happy with that

Cheers

Im really2 happy with the ROM that cooked by Pug. Also happy with Radio Version 1.04. Special thanks to Pug, he guide us damn much....

[bigballs]

What I ment by Works is that the BlackBerry service connects and works great and If I reset the phone or restart the service I don't lose my calendar.

Hi,
I have just been speaking to O2 data support regarding the mail attachment size you can send via blackberry. I can only send a maximum of 32kb, they say they are looking into it and calling me back. Does anyone out there know the answer to this?

Also does anyone know where i can get the new rom version from (.170)

cheers

Release 1.11.170 was removed from the o2 website after I contacted them about a major problem connecting to their Blackberry Server which was caused by Radio Version 1.04.

o2 have reverted back to Release 1.11.169 on their website.

The latest I've had from o2 support is that they are in contact with HTC to resolve the matter.

[nguyensonhm]

Now I understood the reason that I 've seen the rom with version 1.11.169 on the O2website while I downloaded the rom 1.11.170 about one months ago there.
In my opinion, the blackberry is not important and I deleted it as cooking extended rom.Now,my device is using the rom v1.11.170 without it and It's OK.

[pug]

The only real difference between 162 and 169 is the blackberry client. The only difference between 169 and 170 is the radio 1.04 and a slightly "improved" blackberry client. Not wanting to diss you here but you're no better off than anyone using 162 with radio 1.04, you just cooked 170 to the same state.

[nguyensonhm]

Ok. I'm agree with you about that. I only want to say that the blackberry is useless in my country. That's all. The extended roms that was cooked are the same.
Thanks for sharing your idea.

[pug]

@ nguyensonhm

Sorry, just read the message I posted and realised how bad it sounds. Didn't mean to cause offence there.

All I was trying to get over was that the version numbers don't really mean anything the second you remove or add anything to the ROM.

Once again, sorry.

[jdee246]

1.11.171 seems to have been released. Updates to Blackberry and Bluetooth.

http://www.my-xda.com/xda2i_soft.html

[pug]

I think I have just found something new to do tonight. :D

[Mr_Smoke]

Hehe, pug, you're a star, you know that ? ;)

Too bad O2 doesn't release a Changelog of their ROM upgrades ...
Pug, you think you can tell us what's *really* new/improved when you're done poking around this new ROM ?

Cheerio !

[pug]

To be honest it's probably just a re-worked version of 170. Wether they dropped the radio stack back to 1.00 I don't know. Will find out later when I finish work.

[andy-c1]

it still has radio version 1 :( oh well

[pug]

That'll be it then, they got pissed off with people complaining so they just released any old upgrade/downgrade to keep people happy. Will see about modding this one to see if BT that is built into the CE image is any better than the others.

Laterz

[pug]

Had a good look at it and to be honest if you are using my camera fix roms you will be no better off using this rom in watever guise I can make it. There are no upates except for an updated AudioGW.dll which is included in the bluetooth profiles within those 2 roms I compiled.

Anyone feels different, let me know and I'll add it to the ROMs.

Please no placeabo notions.

[Mr_Smoke]

Duly noted. Cheers pug !

[clustered]

seem like this update from O2 just change the version number. Are this latest rom "Improved Bluetooth Connectivity" as they wrote???

[Bewlay Brother]

Looking for some feedback here... (mainly, I admit, because I ONLY wish to apply this ROM if it addresses my BT hands-free issues - otherwise it will be a complete and utter waste of time for me).
All I want, in order to make me a very happy bunny indeed, is the following:
1. Improve the BT hands-free transmit strength from XDA to Motorola headset (it is VERY weak and even slight head movements and changes in orientation of the XDA will break up signal) - perhaps improve receive sensitivity also...
2. Maintain BT headset pairing (and function) when XDA goes into "stand-by".
3. Sort out the last number redial function via headset - it does NOT work unless the dial pad display is displayed on the XDA (example scenario - checked an address in address book or looked in calendar, put XDA down for a few mins - decide you want to call the last person you rang - initiate last number dial on headset - NOTHING happens). Well, not exactly nothing - the display on XDA will switch to dial pad but the number won't dial. By which time the last number memory is "corrupted" so trying a re-dial again at this point will also not work.
4. Sort out the GPRS connections bug... ok, not BT issue but still annoying. (This is the wacky behaviour of the GPRS connection procedure - i.e. will it or won't it connect? - if you previously made a telephone call and used the hardware button to end the call - then NO it won't connect to GPRS - switching ON/OFF flight mode the only way to cure. Also it will often fail to recognise you have a GPRS connection configured in the "Connections" settings - press the connect icon AGAIN and it will suddenly remember you do actually have a GPRS connection setting configured and will let you proceed.

I know I have ranted on about these specific issues before but surely these ones are pretty well critical to making the telephonic side of the device user-friendly? I have had to give up using an expensive BT headset I purchased as the BT function is so useless. Very poor indeed.

[Mr_Smoke]

Hello there,

You ROM is quite old, I'd upgrade if I were you. As long as you have backups, upgrading to a new ROM isn't too much of a problem. It takes time, that's all.
I would advise the ROM cooked by pug, that has Radio v1.04 and Extended v162. The Bluetooth stack is much better so it might help. However, it is reported to be incompatible with Blackberry.

Good luck !
