To be exact, there was never (before this) any ROM which had a newer then Windows Mobile 2003. Only recently someone's done the impossible and cooked up a Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for it.

BTW: I've just updated the 1st post to teach how to disable the Activesync from automatically loading even when you're not synching to your PC

Use the PIM backup program in searcher12's service packs to back everything up. I do that with mine and works beautifully

thnx bro..just what i need

so how to change to new OS? the charging port is the usb port? follow the instructions from cotulia?

Read the full instructions from Cotulla's website. As a safety precaution flash in WWE_01 ROM 1st before going for the latest available one's since the radio stack needs to be of the correct version.
Make sure the phone's fully charged before flashing and yes, the USB port is the charging point. Remove sim card and mem card before doing this and ensure you flash it on a XP loaded machine.

reflash to an earlier rom? My is on default rom

then try a different rom and if the problem still persist, then its hardware problem d

mayb u hve installed software that make ur device crash?

hmm never installed any software.... dunno is it because due to excessive usage of gprs haha..... or the battery old already? the internal backup battery cannot change right?

as far as i know, internal battery cannot change..mayb ur device got old n sick already..haha..if the battery life is normal, i dont think it is battery problem..

battery life now pretty strange sometimes need to recharge soon sometimes can last long

get a new battery to try

btw, the main battery will charge the backup battery by itself

but sumtimes back up batt can karat..this will decrease its lifetime..try change main batt 1st la..

btw guys how do you make it a modem? im using vista btw so im using the windows mobile device center as the activesync....i tried the wireless modem and press start but it keeps saying com port error

hi all,

my O2 mini is still on default rom
i wanted to try a new rom

wat is the most stable for this O2 mini rite now and where to download it?
btw i also forgot how to flash a new rom, can any sifu teach me how to?

thanks

anyone here knows how to get a new battery for this old phone?

rm60 for a compatible one especially for O2 Mini and Dopod 818
pm me for more details

you know how to repair this phone as well? I went to a PDA repair shop which I heard is quite reputable I asked that person why recently my phone keep power off itself he said is battery problem if I change battery still persist then he will help me do.....sadly there no more stock need wait some time

the latest custom rom is 3.04 WWE but i suggest 3.03 as 3.04 does not have camera driver in it, and there's no way to use camera..
3.03 is the best and stable rom, imho..
for flashing steps, u can get it from http://www.cotulla.pp.ru/Magician.html
if u want to flash using windows vista pc, there's a workaround in this threads' first post..
