Should I upgrade my o2 rom or not?

[patriciaanne3]

I have an xda exec running fine with the rom it first came with. Should I upgrade to the new rom and if i do how will it improve the performance of the exec.As it seems to be working fine with tom tom etc. would i be best to leave to leave it as it is. Not being very technical i would really appreciate some advice.

If you are not very technical and your device is working fine then you should probably leave well alone. As the saying goes, If it ain't broke, don't fix it. :)

Sound advice, but I think the attitude of most of us here on this forum is more like "if it ain't broke, fix it anyway"!! On a more serious note, there doesn't seem to be much of a difference between the launch rom and the update, but it really is a very simple operation to update the rom, it's nothing to be afraid of.

I will stick with the first rom and wait a few weeks to see if itis upgraded again. Seriously i have already hadsome real disasters with rom upgrades particularywith theearly pocket pc's.Today i invested in the xda mini s whichi will run as mymain phone.we really got the exec for tom tom and its use in a motorhome.I have managed to upgrade an imate jam in the past but it was very hit and miss.If i need to upgrade the new device i will certainly ask for advice on this forum-its members are so helpful.

Upgraded ROM last night.
Took about 20 mins as suggested onscreen.
Seems quicker now but have yet to reinstall all apps which will consume some memory even if forced to SD.

Gift 1 month ago. 'Evaluated' it just for testing purposes for a week you understand. But I have had to wrap it up for xmas again.

Thanks for the information. I decided to upgrade tonight after you let me know how simple it was. It all went fine. I even managed to install tom tom and planmaker afterwards and all seemsto work fine. anyway it was really helpful to know you had managedthe upgrade so successfully.

When I try to get the download file from the O2 website, I get as far as inputting my IMEI and phone number but then clicking 'proceed' gives a page not found error.

This happens even if I try a different XDA (I have an XDA IIi).

Any ideas please? I assume it's a problem at my end rather than the O2 site down?

Try this software update link from O2 site: http://www.my-xda.com/xdaexec_soft3.html

Don't panic yet. I had trouble myself considering I even have an O2 EXEC who actually released the update. You are not the only one. It takes about 2-3 tries before the computer and the Universal becomes connected. Just follow the suggestions on this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=36115

My dopod900 finally upgraded by using MaUpgradeUt no ID on the xda exec .rom133.188 with the final screen CONGRATULATIONS....BUT as instructed to boot....on soft resets many times it is still remain in the bootloader screen
I tried many hard resets it is still likewise ie.stuck in the bootloader screen.
Please guide????What should I do for christmas to get my universal working again?????

I must convey my sincere thanks to all the wonderful people for trying to help.
It is definitely befitting in the spirit of xmas .
I reflash a 2nd time..and when I reset after finishing the flashing the screen reverts to the bootloader screen with top...serial and bottom...v1.00
I tried the hard reset after failing in the soft resets over 6 to 7 times. the screen also reverts to the same bootloader.
I had flash 4 times n the soft resets,cold resets n finally hard resets revert the screen to bootloader ie top-serial...bottom-v1.00.thanks once again
maybe on boxing day luck may be better....meanwhile xmas still remains very cold on my universal dopod

Normaly no problem: have you removed your SD and SIM-Card? And also use the original usb-cable!
It'll work => at least at the second try!
