[davidcollins01]

Hi
I have an o2 xda mini s and i want to upgrade my rom to the latest one, however its not available on the xda site of o2. Can i install any rom or do i have to wait for them to brand it?

How do i upgrade and will it damage my device?

thanks

don't do it!!!!
wait for them to 'brand it'
I have the same machine and tried using the new K-Jam ROM from I-Mate and I've gone through some horrifying moments to get it back to normal!!!

i am also waiting for the O2 update, i desperately need push email and was about to take the plunge with the i-mate rom. what sort of problems did you have and how is it working now?

when I tried loading the Imate ROM it all went file until I got an error related to my trying to use IMate software on an O2 machine

It remained in three color mode (as it is when upgrading the ROM) until I turned it off and then it was dead!!! It would not do anything! No lights, no activesync, leds, nothing!

Fortunately I took out the battery and put in back in and was back to normal working order. I'm assuming that I was fortunate and the changes didn't yet save. I really don't know, but it scared the crap out of me!

Still I came across someone in a forum that has done it. I've emailed him to ask how. Supposedly it works but you end up having to remap buttons and such.

Regardless I've decided to hold off for two reasons...
1. I've still got warranty that is void if you change the ROM
2. a tech from O2 emailed me to say they are coming out with an upgrade... while no details about when
