Updating ROM - P3600 Software Upgrading

Hi
I have just received by new SPV M700 (Trinity), and am thinking about updating the ROM to the latest Dopod release. Before I do this, I have a few questions that I am hoping someone will be able to answer.
1. What are the main benefits of updating the ROM?
2. Will it invalidate my warranty/Orange Care? and if so, how will they ever know?
3. What does teh Orange ROM have that the Dopod doesn't (other than settings, homescreen)?
4. Other than MMS/data settings is there anything else that I will need to transfer?
5. Is it possible to reinstall the original Orange ROM if I wanted?
6. Will I be able to install future official Orange ROMS when they are released?
7. Is there a guide to installing the ROM, and how easy is it to do?
Sorry if these questions have been answered before but I was struggling to find answers.
Thanks for your help.

The simplest way is to upgrade to the official SPV M700 Orange GPS one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294431

I think I already have the latest Orange ROM as only got my phone yesterday. My main reason for updating was to get Phonepad which I believe is included in the Dopod ROM.
Are you able to answer my other questions?
Thanks

I do not think so.
The ROM was available on the 17th for download. I do not think that it was already installed on the shop phone already.
Just check which version of ROM you have. The one in the download is:
1.23 (with GPS activated) instead of the actual 1.17 (without GPS)
You can find more details about the ROM here (in French):
http://www.ppccool.com/index.php?showtopic=5907&st=0#entry45953
Concerning the other questions, I prefer that another guy answer, as I did not test by my self yet.

I have ROM version 1.23.61.5, which is what was on the phone when I got it.

Maybe your fone is repacked...
Cause for that i know orange doesnt confirm anything about selling gps enable phone's....
How knows....

There was even a leaflet in the box telling me to download Orange satnav.... which wouldnt have been much use if GPS was disabled!

Why would you want to change your ROM? Apparently you already have the latest that is available...Your GPS works, so there is nothing to do.

I would really like phonepad, which I beleieve is included in the Dopod ROM (please correct me if I'm wrong)

I want phonepad too.
Got the same ROM as you.

I am using 1.93 for some time now and I never experienced any of the problems you described, nor have I red about someone else who did.
I seems like something went wrong when you flashed your Diamond, if I were you I would try again (perhaps make a hard reset as well).
... I'm using 1.93 too - no issues as you've described either. Come to think of it, I haven't had any issues at all!
I have been using 1.93 for quite a while and it is working beautifully...touchflo is very responsive and moving from one application to another is smooth.
anyone know where i can download this file without going to the htc site?
many thanks

Next time do not forget to use the 'search' function of the forum before asking for a ROM: this is what I did...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413910
works just fine
I use this rom for a few month now. I didn't detect any bugs until now.
I think you should try to reflash it after you download it again to be sure it is not corrupted
and try the 1.09.25.23 radio also
they work great toghether

Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2

I have been extensively reading the threads and cannot seem to find the answer. I apologize for my noviceness. I went to the HTC site and it gave me this ROM to update on my phone. I use the phone in the US:
1. Will this ROM change my US settings?
2. Has anyone up upgraded to this and is the performance better?
Thanks for your help.
surely this rom is better
all your data will be erased.
but when you make the download, you'l have to choose the country and operator and local settings will be fine. The roms are different between different countries
yup i upgraded to that specific rom. The language is still english. Everything on YOUR DEVICE (not internal storage) is gone. The speed of TF3D is much faster as HTC has removed many of the animations. The phone will also get better reception and become quadband thanks to the new radio.
Thank you, do you use T-Mobile Use.

Latest official HTC EU WWE ROM

Does anyone have it - the *latest one*, which is 2.33?
Thanks.
http://www.htc.com/de/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=174&cat=2&dl_id=537
Enter your serial number, then download it.
I do not have a serial number that it accepts. Otherwise I would not ask here.......
use this:
SH9XXXXXXX0
Dont forget, you wont be able to flash your Orange HTC Touch 3G with this ROM unless you hardspl the thing.
It does work, cos i've done it to mine. The best thing about this ROM, is that the WIFI works properly.
Enjoy
Many thanks. I am very grateful.
Do I need to use customruu (which I got from the hardspl page I think) or can I just run the built in installer? I have already hardspl'd my phone.
NB: latest downloadable version for anyone interested is 2.32.405.3.
if hardspl is done, then you should be able to install the ROM from it's own installer.
can i try this @Wolves4Ever
hi
im from asia can i try this ROM i mean will this work for me or will it brik my phone
thanks in advance

It should work AFIK, as I was running the HK WWE rom on mine before the Wolves4ever kindly posted the s/n (which he may wish to delete now).
I have the WWE EU rom which I can upload if anyone wants.

Just wondring why you want to change to the latest WWE ROM. The reason I ask is that I recently updated to this ROM and regret it! As far as I can see, it offers no improvments to the original but has caused me problems.
Firstly, it keeps "loosing" my SD card. I used a 16Gb Sandisk in my Jade sucessfully for the 8 months before the update. As soon as I installed the new ROM it couldn't find the card and worse, it corrupted it badly. I had to format it for it to work but now, about 1 month later its not finding the card again. HTC support arn't interested as they say the phone is only able to use up to 4Gb. I'm currently using a 4Gb card to see if this works but I don't see why I have to downgrade! We report back to see if this works.
Secondly, I think the battery life isn't as good as before. I haven't done acurate tests but it now struggles to do 2 days between charges, when before it did about 2.5 days.
I would be interested to hear if anyone else has had these problems. You have been warned!
Woolly.
I have had a few probles: the ROM freezes and crashes. This did not happen with the HK WWE version someone has posted here.
However, it is a vast improvement over the orange branded software.
I have not had the problems you refer to.
The WWE UK ROM can be downloaded from http://rapidshare.com/files/2748523...dio_Sign_12.41.30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship.exe.html

Unlucky you! I upgraded to the latest ROM mainly 'cos the Orange ROM stuffs up the Wifi. All seems to be fine and the 2gb SD works fine. As for battery life, cant say its any better or worse. It was pretty poor before anyway.

Hi guys
I have an Orange Jade 110 and sufferred the Unique / no wifi problem. Orange support were no help whatsoever.
Using the excellent info on this forum, I installed hard spl and then decided to try the HTC asia 2.33.721.1 rom. unfortunately I have lost where I downloaded it from but I think there is a link on here somewhere.
- I downloaded the file & used the program's installer to flash my Rom - all orange stuff now gone and I have a fully working phone again that uses wi fi as a priority before using the sim data connection ie like my tytn 11 kaiser
hope this helps
just found the thread with the download link..
sever155 said:
I did all of this but used the updated official ROM from HTC. I could not get the file from the HTC website because it says my S/N is not compatible, I can only assume that this is because HTC have agreed to not release the software to Orange units forcing us poor customers to pay to use 3G internet rather than free WI-FI. A bit of searching led me to an English version hoseted on another website:

You need to do search my friend. Whatever your question is, try to search and you will find the answer.
In your case, if you like to flash your device to windows 6.5, you'll first need to do HardSPL. You can find the "how to" in this thread and this thread.
Then, you can choose and download any ROM you like. There are plenty of choices.
Just follow the instruction to flash the ROM....I think every instruction is clearly enough to understand.
I did search and i downloaded the hardSPL program but I didnt use it because it was going to download an older rom than the one i have right now.
How do you guys know which ROM to use? I just want the latest one.

Oh one more question, so why is the Hard SPL trying to revert my current rom to an old one. Is that what I have to do?

before flash any custom ROM you have to do hard-spl JUST ONCE THOUGH, have fun
hey!
1. you got the latest update for your ROM from SE. that means you are on a "official ROM" or "stock" ROM.
it's suppose to be running on windows mobile 6.1.
2. there is NO "official" 6.5 ROM for the X1 (yet)
3. when you see ROMs saying they are running on 6.5 they are called "custom" ROMs.
custom roms, as the word suggests, are customized by great chefs here on xda to maximize the capabilities of X1 and windows mobile,
that includes the latest updates either from SE or windows (or HTC)
4. there are also 6.1 custom roms
5. the date any custom rom is released suggests it is the latest.
6. there are different "cooks" who may release the same build/update
my suggestion:
try each rom one at a time. sooner or later you'll find one that will suit your taste.
(i think this is the norm here on xda ). and imho, this is how it should be.
if you want the latest agent_47 will not fail you. he's almost always has the latest updates.
if you want a simple & stable rom go for jack's. (with multi-language support)
for pure X1 & wm, look for spikegotti's rom or gtrab's
later you can try itje's, rotastrain's, killer8nl's, etc which are all great.
i hope that clears your confusion. enjoy!
be sure to hard-spl first.
aww you guys are so helpful. thanks im sorry but i will be sending you a PM if i need help. lol

Firstly flash the phone by Hardspl- ing it, this allows you to install non certified roms onto it
