Guest timodonnell Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 I have been given an XDA IIs that has been passed around the office - apparently out of the box there were battery life problems and stability issues to a colleague has already removed the O2 customisations and apparently installed a vanilla O/S. Anyway she didn't get on with a pocket PC and I have been after one for a while so it is coming my way tomorrow. Is it possible to check/ensure that it has the latest drivers/O/S updates/firmware etc before I start using it ? Happy to rummage this info out myself but any pointers to trustworthy resources or reference material would be welcome, Thanks, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted November 8, 2006 Report Share Posted November 8, 2006 No problem. The HTC Blue Angel (the manufacturers name for the XDA IIs) was a great device and very popular. I used to have one myself for a long time. The newest and most upto date rom available is that from T-Mobile and, coming so late in the life of the device it improved stability and functionality no end (not to mention delivering one of the newest builds of Windows Mobile 2003SE ever released). Having said that, O2's XDA site features the latest rom intended for your device which isn't much older and should install without any messing around. The latest O2 XDA IIs rom is available from www.my-xda.com The latest T-Mobile MDA III (the T-Mobile branded HTC Blue Angel) is available from T-Mobile Download Manager And finally you'll find a thread (admittedly now rather old!) discussing the rom versions here on MoDaCo -> Blue Angel rom versions Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I understand that there would be more faff involved and that it may not be strictly above board, Tim Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Pondrew Posted November 11, 2006 Report Share Posted November 11, 2006 No WM5 rom was released for the BlueAngel. You might find an unofficial rom but I wouldn't recommend you use it. Discussion of illegal/leaked/ported roms is against forum rules so I can't help you any more on that I'm afraid! :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
