Had to take my O2 back to the shop because ofthis. I live in hong kong and it says on the label for my o2 its from singapour.

What steps did you do to "brick" the O2?

Yep. I upgraded to the 1.06 earlier. Then i flashed again to the 1.11 ROM, and then again to the 1.11 ROM which 27MB unlocked extended ROM.

Everything's cool.

Which 1.06 and 1.11 firmware did you use?

I used the Qtek one. The latest (and current) one that I have uses the copy from Anansky (see thread in Forum\Magician).

Understand that O2 is releasing its updated firmware very soon (this quarter). Wondering if it is 1.06 or 1.11? Will the O2 Plus be included in the EXT-ROM?

After upgrading to 27MB ROM, some extROM files were missing.. e.g. O2_connect and T9 Phone pad... Do you need to back up the extROM beforehand and manually copy back after the upgrade?

Yep. I backup the 1.11 extended ROM before i re-flashed to the 1.11 w/ Big Storage (which doesn't come with any extended ROM). After the re-flash, install the programs you want from the extended ROM you backed up. You should have a copy from the original extended ROM that came with your Mini so you can install those telco specific settings (eg. Starhub, Singtel) etc.
