I bought my Magician on eBay and it is the best phone I have ever had. The phone is amazing. But of course 2 months have passed and I am dying to improve the phone. The Brand is a DOPOD 818, which is the HTC magician or Imate JAM.
I see everyone here has the ROM 1.06, mine is 1.01.00WWE with a ROM Date of 10/21/04/ I am sure I should be upgrading my ROM for the enhancements but I am not sure how or where to go.
Everyone says to go to Club Imate but unfortunately my IMEI is registered through DOPOD and not Imate. The DOPOD site does not look like it has an updated ROM.
Can I use a generic ROM? Where can I get one? I am in the USA using T-Mobile, if that helps.
Please let me know what I should do.
Thanks,
John

Anyone use these guys? I am trying to decide which version o2, imate, qtek, or t-mobile to buy of this phone. so far it seems as though imate would offer the best warranty. i take it that is why people buy from them. qtek seems to be junk for warranty service (please correct me if i am wrong). t-mobile does not seem to have an english rom - causes me work.
back a few years ago i got an XDA II from o2 to get a cheaper deal than existed on the i-mate version. never had any problems and i think i sold it at a markup from what i got it from direct from britain. now i'm back to purchase a new htc device and am wondering: what more do you get for buying from i-mate really???
hi guys regarding Importgsm they were pretty good on expiditing my order which was a tmobile mda with a qtek rom wwe, which they actually got of this website.
I bought mine for 589 + shiping. they offered one year warranty directly thru them
I need help here. I need to send in my O2 XDA Neo for repair I bought this in Hong Kong I contacted O2 HK but they told me since O2 is a German Phone I need to contact O2 Germany??? Makes no sense since I bought the phone there and they even have a O2 HK but the thing is that the german site in in German LOL and I don't understand german any help here?
I have been told by o2 customer service tonight that the hd2 software upgrade will be ready in a 2 weeks time from the o2 web site.
I have had some issues with htc sense not loading etc and some upgrades from htc web site cant be installed because of o2 vendor validation error.
Kinda a good news. Will be interesting to see what version of Sense and which ROM they have. I know it takes o2 an age but I've not had problems like many others...
Do you have the link to the o2 web page?
Hi, I am unable to post a link as a new member but google o2 uk to get there.
The main o2 website is www.o2.co.uk
From there click support the phone help and at the bottom is firmware information. O2 Support Page
I suspect the o2 update will become available from the main htc site. Here
they are very slow when it comes to software. remeber waiting ages with my old Nokia n80. i gave up in the end and flashed a generic product key and flashed standard nokia software. done the same with my hd2 hspl and custom ROM.
Good news!
Maybe it will be on download here: http://xda.o2.co.uk/software_updates.jsp
My wifes HD2 turned up from O2 on Monday. Completely unbranded and the serial number allowed me to download the 1.66 rom from the HTC site and upgrade it.
It also came with 1.48 whereas mine came with 1.43

Got mine just over a week ago and it came with 1.43 and locked so I cant update from HTC directly.
Thats what I get from getting an in store phone that was in stock, to waiting for one to get shipped over the phone...lol

yeah, mine too - I got it through tele-sales. And ordered it two days before price hike.
It seems to be luck of the draw!!!
Just put HSPL on and flash the generic 1.66
You can always go back to the stock O2 rom and bootloader if you need to.

I think the price hike is something to do with it.

done that on mine already but I would rather that I didn't have to. at least I can use my wifes.serial number to download new roms directly.
Well released an update to the Diamond last month for Orange, Vodafone, O2 etc, all on the HTC site as well. (downloaded that today so I can update my diamond that the misses uses - wonder if it will still be crappy blue...)

Yup same here, mine came last Wednesday (replacement for previously faulty one) and is unbranded running 1.48. Serial also works on HTC website for ROM updates.
Looks like im one of the lucky ones
When i ordered my replacement they said they were out of stock (two wednesdays ago) so it might be a fluke with the recent batch... but im not complaining

that's great but did you get it from o2 direct or through someone like carphone warehouse?

I got it direct from a high street O2 store, Amazin phone and i also got it for free 2
that's great, good to see they've changed to fully unlocked handsets if that is the case.
