View Full Version : How to upgrade when no pass.32 match exists

Hi folks,

All I want is a stable O2 XDA Atom Life that doesn't keep crashing. Bought it on ebay and it has: WWE_RC2150507B1 installed, which is one of the first Mobile 6 editions.

I've tried installing several ROM's via the DSUU, but all say Customer or Model ID error. But pasting a different pass.32 file in Windows/Temp has no effect. It makes no sense to me why it isn't accepting the newer WWE_RC2170507B2

Looking at the pass.32 file in a hex editor, it says WWE AL1 Xda Atom O2 Xda Atom Life. If this is what it extracts from the Atom, then it seems like I should have no problem.

Are there any tricks that I can try? Or do I have to get my PhD in hacking, just so I can install an official ROM.

Thanks for any nuggets of advice you can give.

P.S. I doubt I will ever use the radio, so that part makes no difference to me.

Well, I went and got my PhD in hacking anyway and was able to complete the upgrade the same day. Many thanks to awwei for his detailed instructions here on how to modify the flash files and load from MiniSD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1287849&postcount=235

Please see my reply to that post with additional comments.
