Help! Have had a problem, and don't want to have it again!

Hi,
I attempted to install the Helmi WM5 upgrade 1.3.2 beta to my Orange SPV m2000.
I did not attempt to install extra rom, and now I'm glad that I didn't!
My PAYG operator has always been Vodafone UK, and would like to continue using them, as they have the best signal strength in my area.
I noticed that Vodafone was on the list, but did not notice (untill after the upgrade) that it is only available in the Middle East and Australia !
The BaUpgradeUt reached 83% on stage 3, and then paused for a long time (my entire Christmas Dinner!!!!!!!!!!!) In the end I removed the device, had trouble getting it to reset, and have now reinstalled the WM2003 ROM from Orange.
Would like to benefit from wm2005, so need your advice on what went wrong! I had several of the command windows/folders open that it may have been trying to access, so maybe it may have been trying to access these?
If this ROM is not the most stable (or the best for a relatively inexperienced person!), I would be pleased to know. It sounded that way, because version 1.4 beta seemed to leave out a lot of apps which I needed (for example the smartdialler).
Please could someone give me some unbiased(!) advice as to what went wrong, and what my options are now?
Thanks so much guys,
Tom
P.S Thinking about the SIM Operator issue, is it possible to unlock a WM5 blue angel, after upgrading?

did u set the operator the file before u do the upgrade?
if you have not done so, pls refer to wiki site on how to get the device data then set the operator for the new file before flash it.

NEW HTC WIZARD radio 2.40.11

enjoy....

ftp://[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/faria-roms/radio2.40.11.zip

The link doesnt work for me faria. I just went to the ftp site and manually downloaded the rom.

I cant access the FTP site. It keeps asking me my usnername or something so I figure the xda login name right, but it doesnt work. Can someone upload it somewhere thanks

Thanks
Download works fine for me. Just put xda in for the password. I'll check it out and see if its a reasonable alternative for the 2.19.11 rom and my Cingular service!

Thanks, I finally was able to download it. One question before I upgrade. Maybe Faria can give his input. I am a T-mobile user currently on the 2.19.11 radio rom. This seems to be the best one overall for me since it allows both data and voice calls at the same time, there are no missed calls. But reception/signal is somewhat not good. Does this new radio give better reception for T-Mobile as well as allowing both data and voice?
Thanks

Great radio rom but isn't 2.69.11 newer then 2.40.11?

Well, right, it is newer most likely. The thing is, newer isn't necessarily better for each person's circumstance. Radios are tuned for particular providers in particular places and are usually matched with particular roms. However, in my case for example, with Cingular US service, and WM6 roms, my experience and that of many others is that the 2.19.11 T-mobile UK rom is the best. The others were inconsistent in alerting me to incoming calls and pending voicemails. However the data and sound was better with the newer radios. For me not missing calls was most important, so I stick with the older rom. But, this is a new one for me, and hope springs eternal, so I'll probably give it a try and see if I can have the best of both worlds like those T-Mobile guys.
Regards,

working well on farias "the real thing"?

From what I understand, 2.69.11 is the latest released German Radio rom, but 2.40.11 is a US released rom. So this may work better for US customers. I hope we can use 2.40.11 with WM6!

testing
in the midwest US of A baby.. smoke you!

Just installed it! I will post back my results.

Since I finally experienced the awful delay in SMS receiving on the 2.69 radio ROM (after several weeks of success, I missed 4 important text messages in an hour's timeframe), I'm game for this. Downloading now...

So far my signal seems to be much better than 2.19 radio. but only time will tell.

I too am now noticing a delay\lack of SMS\Voicemail Msg after WEEKS of 2.69 working like a charm. I thought I was one of the lucking ones but now I am not so sure. Who knows how long this has been happening. Anyway, downloaded and installing right now.

Working great on WM2005 .
thanx Faria .

by the way...this is a US radio.....sorry i cant name the carrier at the moment.

I've installed this on my Cingular 8125 on the Cingular network last night. I received a test sms and another SMS from a friend in a timely manner. All test calls I've put through have worked so far. I was even downloading a webpage with Opera and phoned in and the call came through. So far so good... Tomorrow (Monday) will be the real test when I'm back to work, but I'll try to give it a workout today.

thanks for the info so far and please continue to post information on this rom and its working with wm6
P.S.-Sorry for not being able to also post information but in what i do missing a call/calls or missing a sms/sms' would cost me alot of $$$$$...(so thanks for being guinea pigs...poor pigs lol)

First timer dumb question
Hi. I am running Nottoosmart's system with radio 2.19. Things have been pretty stable, but there are times when I've had to reboot in order to reacquire the phone carrier after sleep (e.g. softreset). Also, subjectively I believe I have some signal problems when in places where there is already a weak signal.
So, bottom, line, I am considering trying this radio.
But, I have never flashed a radio before and I'd like to avoid having this become a "federal project." So a few questions:
1. I can flash the radio back and forth (e.g. ->2.40, ->2.19) *without* touching the OS (e.g. wm6 rom/ram), is that correct?
2. There are several executables in the zip: EnterBootloader.exe, romupdateutility.exe, RUUGetInfo.exe; I realize there are tutorials ad infinitum posted here, but can someone help me save some time by letting me know how to install the radio, do I just run "romupdateutility" over activesync, or is there more to do?
Please don't flame. I am an engineer, just not experienced in burning radios to MDA's. I assume the radio goes into a portion of rom that is dedicated to the phone processor of the OMAP chip?

Hello,
1) You can flash the Radio rom without messing with the OS. All of your settings and files will not be affected. It does not require a hard reset.
2) Just run the romupdateutility.exe. It works the same when you flash a new os rom, it just takes a fraction of the time due to the fact you are only flashing the radio. I just connect via USB and let activesync do its thing then run romupdateutility.exe, the program will kill activesync itself.
I hope this helps.

One little question about upgrading...

Hello,
I've been following this forum for several months now and I've been studying how to flash and what can possibly go wrong and I now just about feel comfortable with trying it myself.
I really want to try Ausdim and Eliasweb's ROMs but I still have one question...
Quite a while ago I downloaded a file called "htcp3600-NWW_France_Setup" which should see to my network settings if I understood correctly but the thing is I quite often go to Spain and seeing as I have the SFR World option my service provider hands control over to one of their partner networks in Spain and the same happens when I go to England.
With a cooked ROM is this still possible or would I have to file some other files to allow me to use my phone in other countries??
Thank you very much for your help.

Doesn't anybody know??? Please... A little help will be greatly appreciated.

It's the same.
Bye.

theres a software called setup operator ! do a search for that it'll sort your problem out, i think!
HTC connection setup thats it ! it got loads a countries and providers

Thanks for the answers
I just had a look at Ausdim's V3 Full and I see the program you said (HTC Connection Setup) is already integrated so it looks like everything will run smoothly

Problems GPS and WM 6.1

hello, I'm from Spain, I have a Kaiser that after upgrading to WM6.1 stop the GPS function properly.
Radio is 1.65.17.56 and not that I do to fix it. If it can be.
I hope someone can help me, thanks.

Try changing Radios or get the GPS test prog which helps out a lot.

I do not have much knowledge about this subject, which would have to do?
It may change the radio? where he could get another version?
Thank you

1) Check your GPS settings here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=330235.
GPS Test is a little program that can help you to check your GPS; you can find it here http://chartcross.co.uk/products/WM00002_details.asp
When I upgraded and had a similar problem, I had to hard reset and upgrade again, then my GPs was OK.
Good luck.

some radios give better gps performance but could decrease battery life and/or data speeds. just remember some radios wont work certain roms causing no wifi,no gps at all,no calls or camera functionality

Contact the provider

I know who can help, that is if they choose to, it's HTC themselves (assuming you have an HTC branded TyTN II). When I complained to their tech support dept here in the UK the chap told me no-one else had complained about this issue as far as he knew other than me! Clearly if they get many disgruntled customers complaining it may help (although judging by their response to the driver petition, maybe not), at least they won't be able to treat it as a non-issue.
Yes it's a radio related problem and different radios affect GPS performance but I've not found any reports of Radios under WM 6.1 yet that equalled the GPS performance of the original WM 6.0 setup, although the eMo one does look good from what I've read, other than the built in branding - not tried it.
Let us know what HTC say (or if it's a carrier provided phone, what the carrier says). I think the hardware provider should be the one coming up with a solution and it should not be up to you to risk your warranty trying different radios to fix it for yourself.

the first thing I did when I came mandar the problem was an email to HTC to see how it solved, that was last Friday and have not yet replied. I hope that HTC find a solution because it is not a cheap machine.
Thank you for all the answers ...

Nothing yet doesn't mean never

Is it an HTC branded TyTN II that came in an HTC box? If so, get your identifying numbers ready that are on the box (or underneath where the battery is) and give them a call - there are cheaper rate numbers on one of the leaflets inside the box. This may (at least in my case) work out cheaper than calling the number on their website for your country. Ask them to acknowledge your email/web form submission and if they claim to not know about this being a problem, ask them to email that statement back to you. Ask them if they liaise with other countries HTC support and share info on complaints about this from elsewhere... Let us know how that goes.

ATT Tilt- possible radio problems, total noob needs help

Hi guys, I really did search first, I promise. I have been having connectivity issues (not making calls, lost data connections, etc...) since I updated to the ATT Official Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM (3.57.502.2 WWE) with radio version 1.65.21.18. I am trying to determine if I need to upgrade my radio version. I found the thread with all the radio versions for my phone but don't know anything about them. I did get that I should try different ones until I find one that works for me. So do I need to install the HardSPL on my phone (or did the Official ATT rom upgrade do that already)? From there do I run that RUU.exe file on the desktop (or what)? It would be great if someone could put this in super simple terms for me.
Thanks in advance,
-Max

one word for your info, "WIKI"

I did look over the wiki for some time, here is my hang up. Jockyw2001 posted in an SPL thread that "SPL3.56 is part of the latest AT&T Rom which is dated June 6. 2008" So since I did the official ATT upgrade and my ROM date is 07/17/08, does that mean that I already have SPL 3.56 on my device? I can not find a post about how to determine what SPL version (if any) is installed on my device. If SPL is already installed, is there any danger in installing an older version of SPL or reinstalling one?
Thanks again
-Max

So you are saying that the stock rom and stock radio are not working correctly, no cooked roms or other carrier radios?
Did the problems start right after you updated?
Oh and your problem seems similar to the one in this thread here, well least is sounds similar to me anyways...

Yup, stock radio and rom as suggested by ATT, whom their customer service now claims they do not support WM6.1. I've never used a cooked rom and really only come here for device information and applications. I did have problems before I upgraded the rom but they have much worse since. The thread you posted is similar but they mostly talk about an "H" connection. I am in the DC metro area (USA) and get 3G all the time now, I wonder if that is part of the problem, I never get an EDGE network signal anymore.

Well... I just found THIS buried over on the ATT support forums
Clp1970 01-21-2009 10:33:16 AM
I guess we just got 3G network here. I haven't been able to make/receive calls for 5 days now. Tech support supposedly looking into issue. My phone switches bewteen 3G and EDGE constantly. Anyone else having this issue? What was the resolution? I don't want a refurbished Tilt if they can't come to a resolution (why would I want the same darn phone if it doesn't work well with 3G as advertised?) I have already drove 20 minutes to the nearest store for a new SIM card..which did no good. There isn't anyway of turning off 3G network unless I install software I have seen mentioned on this forum and well, I don't know about that...I paid for this phone to do what it said, and it isn't.

And this is the reply to it over there....
tilteduser 01-21-2009 08:42:13 PM
Common problem that can be either due to problems with the rollout or that the local towers cannot handle 3G as effectively or at a greater distance as the same tower could for Edge. These are some related threads and posts but there are a lot more. As noted in these posts if there is a local AT&T store run by AT&T then you might pop in and confirm some of the problems with them.

The tendency is to blame the phone but the reality is often different and that includes from customer support who offered to swap my phone several times but this obviously would not work because it affected many other users as well differing phone manufacturers and models.

Timing of it is close enough to make me wonder, but I had been using HSDPA.. But I have been getting the same problems you are talking about when the phone is set to 3g as well. The other thing that is starting to make me think its something ATT did to their network is that the OP from the thread that I linked on here lives 20 mins west of my location, and I am 15-20 mins north of DC... I may go to one of the local att stores and see what they have to say (tho that means for me that I get to flash my phone back to the stock rom )
