ROM Flashing - MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading

I have a shiny new V1620 as Vodafone call it and I'm O2 bound.
Is it at all possible to simply update my device with the latest O2 compatible ROMs etcetera or would this just plain not work? Would this mean I could use an O2 SIM without any further unlock?
Also, does anyone else have the exact model I do as listed below, as I haven't read any topics about this specific model ID.
Thanks in advance guys.

Here is all the info you need

I have the model with the 520Mhz processor, will that make any difference to the ROM I'm choosing?
Also it's not really clear that when I have updated my dvice if it will still be locked to Vodafone.
Anyone any ideas?

UK newb question - Wizard ROM update.

Forgive my general newbie ignorance, but this seems the best place around for knowledge on this stuff.
I have a Qtek-branded Wizard. I bought it SIM-free in the UK, and use it on the O2 network. I'd like to get the latest ROM update, as made available to O2 customers via its website for the XDA Mini S. However, because I don't have an O2-linked phone, the RUU software it provides doesn't work.
I've tried accessing the same stuff on the Qtek site, but it refuses to recognise my IMEI, so I can't register on the site.
So now I'm at a bit of a loss. If I knew what I was talking about I'm sure I could install ROMs from elsewhere - like right here - but I don't.
Anyone got some advice for me on this one? Any help would be rewarded with great and pleasurable things.
I have the 2.21.4.1 O2 upgrade file, PM me with your e-mail address and i will send it to you.
Actually, as I have a Qtek phone I'd rather get the latest Qtek upgrade. I've found a 2.17.7 RUU - is that the latest Qtek one you know?
Although, is there a possibility that installing that ROM would screw up my O2 service?

Moving from T-Mobile UK 2.21.2.6 WWE to better/different ROM?

I'm having a WiFi problem as outlined in this thread, but nobody seems to be able to offer any help:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324952
I'm thinking of upgrading from the official T-Mobile UK 2.21.2.6 WWE ROM I have installed to another network provider ROM to see if that fixes the problem.
But will updating from my current ROM to, say, an O2 UK official ROM work the same way as a simple ROM update, or will it brick the phone?
Does it need to be CID unlocked? I've ran what I think was the latest LokiWiz to unlock the SIM, but did this SID unlock the phone as well? How do I tell?
How do I know whether my phone's an AKU2 or AKU3?
And what's the best (i.e., most reliable) official ROM? Would upgrading to WM6 help anything?
Sorry if I'm going over ground covered a lot elsewhere, but the sheer amount of FAQs on CID/SIM/AKU etc., is incredibly overwhelming and confusing.
Thanks in advance for any help, it's greatly appreciated.

You will need LokiWiz 02b to CID unlock your device (if it is a G3)

There is probably an easier method however if you run the program "Registry Wizard" it normally tells you on start up

ROMS are all preference really.. at the moment im using T-mobile 2.26 US which i have found to be the best ROM (with applications / themes obviously) as T-mobile UK Rom is over a year old and is crap.
i have upgraded to WM6 3 times? and all 3 times i had problems, i am currently waiting for most of the bugs to be sorted..
keep us posted

Incoming calls undelivered

I purchased my HTC Touch Diamond yesterday, and I'm already experiencing problems with it. I did a few tests, and here were the results:
Diamond = HTC Touch Diamond (Rogers)
Phone1 = Nokia E90 (Rogers)
Phone2 = Home phone (Rogers)
1: Diamond calls Phone1, and Phone1 receives call.
2: Phone1 calls Diamond, and call goes into "Unavailable" message. However; if you wait long enough on Phone1, Diamond will receive a missed call, with less than a second ring.
3. Diamond calls Phone1 again, Diamond doesn't hear ringer, but "Dialing" message is displayed.
4. Phone2 calls Diamond, and call goes into "Unavailable" message.
5. Diamond calls Phone2, Diamond doesn't hear ringer, but "Dialing" message is displayed.
The reception bar is full, and the phone has minutes. The calls made and received gets through when it feels like it. Sometimes they get through, sometimes they don't. Please help me out on this one.

try to upgrade your rom. the newer radio versions are way better that the shipped one.
Thank you for the reply.
I'm currently running on;
ROM Version: 1.37.720.2 wwe
ROM Date: 06/16/08
Radio Version: 1.00.25.03
Which update would be the best for my phone at the moment?
-Johnny
just out of curiosity which band are you on 3g or gsm - the newer roms start 1.93 have a look in the diamond roms forum for one which suits your needs, preferably one with a new radio, if you are experiencing signal problems.

Hi Ekksman,
I believe I'm running on Edge. It's the little "E" symbol that's already there. I have no idea how to switch to the others bands.

One quick question Karim099,
Out of the ROM series on that list, how do I know which HTC version my phone is? I have the P3490.
-Johnny
all official 1.93 roms are almost similar but each one has its own regional settings according to the CID (country ID)
you can flash only the WWE version because it matches your phone's CID ( unless you CID unlock your device using HardSpl)
i know there are multiple WWE roms. so i advise you to download the upgrade from the htc.com official website according to your device serial number.
regards,
Karim
The official website was my first stop when trying to upgrade my phone. Unfortunately, there are no ROM updates available for my serial number on the site.
Will the WWE versions be the only version that will work successfully? I haven't unlocked anything for my device.
-Johnny
P.S. Thank you for the replies!

Do I choose any WWE version? And which country is the RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2? Sorry for all the question, it's my second time ever flashing a phone. Need to be cautious.. I don't know which CID I'm running on.

its strange that you cant find an upgrade on the htc site.
is your phone locked to a specific carrier? doesnt it provide updates on its site?
ME is for middle east where i belong it wont work for your device.

The site takes me to a message saying "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device." I believe it's locked to only Rogers & Fido. There are no updates on the site at all..

u can wait for official updates...
i doubt that any of the official updates will match your CID
you could CID unlock and install one of them.
by the way the rom developement forum is full of coocked roms which improve performance and battery life. take a look at it.

I don't even know which CID mine is..
Neither do I know how to CID unlock..
But I will take a look at the ROM developement forum and try to do a little research on them.
If you have any specific suggestions, please let me know. It'll help me out a lot.
I really don't know what I'm looking for here.
Thank you for all your help. =]

Have you been able to resolve this? I have the exact same issue!

(PLEASE) Can anyone get the RADIO version 2.94.90 (PLEASE)

hi frnds,
i need a small favour. can anyone please provide me the new radio version i.e. 2.94.90. i know it exists i have seen it in the new HTC p3350. (in INDIA).
please also let me know that i m using a sim unlocked but cid locked cingular 8125. can i upgrade it with the htc's official rom of p3350. which has a different IPL/SPL.
Please help.
Thnks in advance...
Well, you CANNOT upgrade your G4 phone to a new IPL/SPL, it will effectivly render it a brick! Why would you want to goto a stock HTC ROM though? Your sig says that you are using the TNT one, which is VASTLY superior to HTC ones.
And as far as the radio version you are talking about, you dont need to upgrade to a new radio unless you are having problems with your current one.

easy to find in sticky section of rom dev
stock rom is unrelated to sim lock, which I assume you mean when talking about unlocked, and is not able to remove it if existing
you have the choice to pick a generic rom or a provider specific (software branding, some provider specific soft), for you generic might be more appropriate
best
stock roms can be found at http://www.rapidgsm.com/sony-ericsson/xperia-x1-software-download-free/
