G'Day Crew,
Hope you can help, I am trying to find or obtain the original Rom that came with my Dopod D810, as I upgraded to the GPS rom and since that my reception and signal strength has gone from great to very poor. In fact I cant even use the 3G network!
I am in Brisbane Australia, spoke with the service contractor and they said that the GPS rom was not compatible with our network providers, and they were expecting the new "Australian GPS Rom" by the end of the month...............
They would not help me or send me the original Rom.
I have searched the web and this forum but so far have come up empty.
Regards,
BIQ

Ausdim,
Thankyou Thankyou thankyou. I will look at loading the "older" style rom in place if it is possible?
Is it possible to change roms with a lower number? Is it possible to change between official and cooked roms and restore again in case of warranty problems?
Thanks again, great help and so quick too.

G'day,
I've lived in OZ, luv it there.
I haven't seen the original Dopod ROM posted anywhere. You can use the SSPL utility that is available in the FTP of this site to load the original HTC WWE rom (also available here) which might work for your network. I've been using the Dopod GPS test rom with no problems in Europe, including 3G and HSDPA. What is Telstra doing over there? Oh, maybe you're not on the big T .
Good luck.
Matterhorn, I am glad you liked Australia! I am with Optus, unfortunately since I upgraded to the "official" GPS rom my signal strength has plummeted.
I just jumped straight in and changed it without thinking, my fault.
I dont know what the original rom was or where I can locate it...............
Hoping someone can give me an answer or point me in the right direction.
Thanks again for the replies, really appreciate it.
Kind regards,
BIQ

Hello friend. If isn't here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...inity_Upgrades
means that don't exist. I'm searching for the Official Portuguese (Portugal not Brazil) ROM too. Drug_Store managed to dump the original Portuguese ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296035) but no one is willing to help transform the raw data into a real ROM .
I hope you find your answers. Good luck
G"day Crew,
Thanks for all the replies. I spoke with the Dopod Service Contractor in Australia, they said that the current AUSTRALIAN Rom was :
1.17.707.4, not too sure which radio though.............
I asked them if they had an FTP site or could email/upload it for me and they refused, only way was to go see them, trouble is I live 1600km away!!
Will try and track it down or think of something.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks again.

Dopod GPS ROM fine with Telstra in Oz.
I have been using this GPS ROM with Telstra in Vic and Tassie on the Next G network and haven't had any such problems. In most areas it registers "3G", dropping to "E" in some regional areas and "G" in parts of Tassie. I seem to have signal wherever anyone else has it.
Might be an Optus issue. I had an e-mail from Dopod Oz to say they are still working on a local Oz GPS Rom, but couldn't give me a date.
Camstech,
Thanks for the reply. Since installing the rom things havent been the same on the optus network, so far all posters in Australia have come from 3 or Telstra, so may be an Optus problem...................
My phone does not "auto" switch between networks or bands such as 3G/G/E/H it only stays on 3G with no signal strength at all and when I call my phone from the landline, it tells me that I am not available..............
Rom/Software problem or hardware do you think? if hardware I still have 7 days under ELF....................

BIQ
No issues here for Sydney Optus
I just bought my Dopod D810 on last Saturday (3/3/07), not even aware of GPS and ROMS etc. Was doing search on google, and found this forum. I has excited my Dopod could do GPS!
Having the pda for only few days, I was quite hasitant to flash down my pda down the drain, but I took my chances.
I spent about 3 hours reading the forum, getting all the facts and downloading the latest shiped rom, the bypass software and did it. It took about 15-20 min and it was done.
Now I have the latest ROM and GPS!.
Found and installed a freeware GPS monitor application, and within few minutes it was telling me where I was standing. It was tops!
Just got tomtom 6.0 installed... Damn... I need more ram for the Australian maps! So off to the shop to get a mini SD card, Owww.. non in stock!
My tomtom works, but of coarse, cannot show me the way, yet...
Hope this helps from a non-technical person.
If you want to know all the files I used for this process, just ask, and I'll try to provide/download them for you.
Cheers!

I had to change my US Cingular SIM card. It didn't work properly with 3G. You might ask Optus if they can give you a replacement SIM card if it is old, it can't hurt. Have you tried a Hard reset? I know it is a PITA, but if your phone doesn't work, you don't have much to loose. Also, you should check the settings in your Phone app, ie. automatic scanning of networks etc.
Good luck.
G'Day Matterhorn,
After much cajoling and pestering of the service centre here in Australia, I managed to get the Australian (no GPS) original shipping ROM, I have installed it and the signal strength is much improved, not great, but a lot better. Hopefully with the new Australian GPS ROM and Radio Rom it will improve more?
How do I go about getting it published to the Wiki page for others to get if they need it?
A big thank you for everyone's help and to Teleplan, thanks guys.
Regards,
BIQ
Hello friend could you please upload it in a public service (because XDA ROMs will be taken out).
I suggest rapidshare, 4shared, megaupload ... you name it .
Remember zip the ROM (with a discrete name) and put a password in it. This will extend the lifetime that file will be accessible (yes most free file sharing and storage websites check files to control illegal material).
I'm not up to use your original ROM but of course I'd like to have it .
Thank you
---------------------
EDIT: BTW you can edit the wiki pages to put a link to your Australian Original ROM
I would not mined having the original ROM as well, even though I have no signal issues..
Here is a link for the file, just uploaded it.
http://rapidshare.com/files/2011493...6275_1.24.00.11_107_Ship_Move_ding.amr_2_.exe

Hello friend . Thank you for the upload. We appreciate it.
gps update
hi Vatche,
you said your update worked? I have the same rom update installed, no network issues but can't get gps activity or icons or anything.
Did you say you had to add a registry patch? and a bypass software?
Can you tell me what they are and where to get them? If they are not big,
would you mind sending them to me @ [email protected] please?
thanks.
Yes, Initially, the GPS icon did not appear.
Download a Windows Mobile registry editor software (there are few on freewareppc.com), then search for the registry changes in these forums, it is only a single entry change, and the icon appears in the settings window.
If you still have issues, let me know, I'll chase up my notes for you.
Note: Once you flush the new ROM, OPTUS ZOO wap pages no longer work. You can still use 3G for internet access, but not the ZOO pages. I discovered this after I flushed mine, and for me, don't care anyway.
Regards
first of all, I want to say THANKS for this great forum, which has helped me greatly souping up my Tilt, solving problems, getting great CABs, and just general info.
I had to hard-reset (removing bloatware) my device a few times, once because of a faulty usb connector, and I couldn't sync anymore. so now I'm stuck only with bluetooth (still trying to figure out if I can hardSPL and load a new ROM via bluetooth...)
I'm not in the US, so I don't use ATT/Cingular. and I ran into connection problems using GPRS. had all the right settings, but just couldn't connect to my service provider.
of course I searched endlessly on these forums, but couldn't fix my problem. today, found and ran removeHiddenProxy4CWS_0522 cab in the \Windows directory, and everything worked perfectly !!
I don't know if this is a Tilt-specific thing or not, just wanted to help out anyone having my same problem, of using a diff provider than whatever came pre-loaded...
Hi all. I have the Telus CDMA version of the HTC Touch Diamond. Because telus wants to sell everyone their telus navigator, they've had it and google maps removed on their custom version of the ROM!
So I have a request for the team here: does anyone have a cab version of quickgps that will work for the diamond? I have seen many other posts on this site that have cab files/rars of the necissary files for other phones, but they don't work for the telus diamond, I get the following error when i try to run the program:
"the file 'quickgps' cannot be opened. Either it is not signed with a trusted certificate, or one of its components cannot be found. If the problem persists, try reinstalling or restoring this file"
I got the files i tried to use from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...9&d=1209308371
This is still an unsolved problem based on these posts:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2446429
the above files have worked for some: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=27312&highlight=quickgps+with+patch
but they dont work the the telus diamond. Is anyone willing to offer help/suggestions/extracted files for quick gps including necissary drivers?
Your help is greatly appreciated,
Iddoc
I can't guarantee that it'll work but it's worth a shot; try the cab in my signature.
Solved it by looking here...
Hi. Thanks for the suggestion, I didn't get a chance to try your cab file however. I found the answer to the problem, at least for telus branded HTC touch devices on this page:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=35592
I havn't tried any of the custom cooked roms, I just went down to the sticky post, under GPS and installed the cab file- it changes some registry settings that now allow the GPS to get a fix in less then 5 seconds.
Hope this is helpful to someone else.

I had the same problem and couldnt find anything on the subject until now..
QuickGPS still doesnt work for the Telus diamond but that doesnt matter anymore, those registry tweaks are 1000x better than QuickGPS and now aGPS actually works! No need to download updates or any of that crap to get a quick TTFF
I went on my balcony which would normally take 3 minutes to fix and not only did it fix in under 10 seconds.. but I instantly got full signal strength.
Thank you for posting this resource for the Telus diamond. It is very very helpful and I hope many other Telus diamond owners are able to find it as well.
..Now excuse me while I uninstall QuickGPS.
Cheers man, great info!
EDIT: Holy ****! Now I even get a fix indoors! 4/5 bars with TT7!!
... Not that is really means alot, but its a very nice bonus.

As a fellow Telus HTC DIamond user... big thanks for posting this. GPS signal used to take forever (over 5 mins). now i get pick up in a few seconds indoors!
Did you simply run the cab, or you also followed this 13-steps process described there (looks dangerous ) ?
Also interesting to know which registry keys this cab changes/adds/removes
Hi,
I have an O2 branded Stellar ie a Kaiser. Was working fine on O2 for internet, and just changed to Vodaphone (in the UK). Despite putting in the recommended settings of wap.vodaphone.co.uk username web/ password web into a new modem connection it won't go online. Any ideas from anyone who has done this?
Vodaphone won't help me - told me to called HTC!
cheers
Rob
Have you tried using HTC Connection Setup to reconfigure your connections?
HI - well I've been into Settings/Connections/Connections/Add a new modem connection and put in all the details I found here:
http://www.filesaveas.com/gprs.html
and it won't connect properly when I try to go online.
Or do you mean somewhere else?
thanks
If you go to Start, Settings, Connections, do you see an item called Connection Setup?
If not, try download and installing this cab on your phone. Once you install it, soft-reset and then go back to the same place mentioned above. Run Connection Setup and select your location and operator. It should configure your connections for you and restart your device (or prompt you to do it yourself).
Thanks this and another thread from Basti have got me up and running - voda needs a proxy apparantly...
The connection wizard will handle both networks

As someone who has used both Vodafone and (now) O2 in the UK on an HTC branded Kaiser, I've always found the connection wizard in the default HTC ROM to take care of things fully and automatically. Have you thought about putting an HTC official ROM on it? The wiki and numerous threads here at xda explain how it's done. I could never get the Vodafone Live Website to work with my standard TyTN II BTW so don't be surprised if it definitely doesn't work with an O2 version of the same phone
