As far as i concern, only the blackberry has been added to the latest rom for the IIi from o2, those monkey didn't even update the radio version (1.03 latest) ...
It will be tomorrow.......
Hey Pug - how you getting on with the radio on the latest O2 IIi ROM?
Read somewhere on this site that the new ROM wouldn't work with the radio 1.03. Thought I'd persevere for a couple of days but it wouldn't work.
I then thought what "Fu** it" and went back to 1.11.162 as realisticaly I'd never use Blackberry much anyway. It'd be cheaper for me to check my e-mails over GPRS.
Should delete that modified update from the FTP as it doesn't work, unless someone wants to see if they can get it to work.
ta for the update, I'm using O2's new ROM with Blackberry support - and so far (touch wood!) - it seems ok.
ja it does seem ok at pressent ..does anyone find that it connects much faster when say updating traffic on tomtom ..not sure if it is my imagination or not
Hi
The new 02 ROM has problems with using Bluetooth headsets I have found and I dont care about the Blackberry bit. I am going to revert back to 162 over the weekend.
Pug, i cant find your cooked 1.03 Radio with 162 extended ROM, can you provide me with an updated link please?
Cheers
Jonno

I've read in the Dopod Asia website that the official GPS enabled ROM is to be out in Mar 2007. I've checked their download area, no GPS enabled ROMs yet. Looks like have to wait for another month or two.
Well, currently I am happy with the GPS enabled Test Rom ....
Here's the quote from the website:
Availability of GPS ROM Shipment of D810 arriving from March 2007 will have the GPS ROM installed into the devices. Existing D810 users can upgrade their sets for free, by downloading a GPS ROM Code, to
equip their existing D810 with the GPS function at Dopod International’s website at www.dopodasia.com.

In mar 2007 you'll see device with already GPS enabled.

Err ... did I miss something? Which thread does it say that user 'IamGuest' have the ROM? Not sure if we are talking abt the same ROM. I'm looking for the WWE, and so far I can only see the CHT ROM out. Dopodasia & Australia site still does not have it yet. :-(
Wait .. wait .. wait ...
Back to playing with the old test Rom then ....
HERE AT THE FIRST POST
I think that is the SHIP Rom WWE from DOPOD

This is TEST rom
did someone tried the dopod wm6 rom on an HTC 3600?
Thanks
I did.
Works very well for me. No bug at all. I'm happy with it.
what about the fix time of the GPS?
any changes in speed of the whole system?
and the battery life time?
Thanks

I've upgraded my P3600 to WM6 (Australian ROM)
GPS - First detection is slow IMHO. After that it runs great.
Changes in speed - No changes so far I have noticed, in other words it still runs fast
Battery life - Is great depending on your usage. Just disable your infrared. That alone makes a lot of difference.
Where did you get the image ROM?
What is the difference between DOPOD and HTC Australian ROM?
Thanks

Does it matter where I got it from?.. Or do you want to know where you can get it?..

I do not know what and if there is a difference is between DOPOD and HTC Australian ROM.
I just know that the ROM I used didn't have customized DOPOD screenlogo's/programs etc installed AND that I have only one issue since running this ROM but I think it's WM6 related:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=318013
All the OFFICIAL ROMs providing wm6 for trinity, so far, are from Dopod, including the rapidshare link above.
This is why it's called: 'D810' and not HTC P3600 in the link.
You may notice very few Dopod's customization, but it's still a ROM from Dopod, you can see, for instance, some Dopod's ringtones in the alarms and ring lists.
As far as the localized operator settings are concerned, I can't tell, since I did not install their extended ROM, I don't have any either, except for the ring tones I just mentioned before.
Regarding the new ROM performances, I think it has increased a lot from the previous April wm5 release from HTC: faster, better look etc.
The GPS is a little bit faster, but not much faster, but I think it has more to do with the new radio.
For example I could not get any fix with the 1.46.00.01 one from SEA. But it works quite well with the 1.46.20.01, from ANZ.
The most impressive improvement is the wifi connexion, which is stable, and fast. (it was a disaster with previous radios, especially the 1.38.x series.
Just to make myself more clear:
1)
I know all the trinity ROMs are made by HTC. What I meant is not 'made by Dopod' but, branded, designed for Dopod.
2)
I have read here before that wifi has nothing to do with radio but just with the ROM itself. I don't know, but what I can tell is that, the previous wm5 plus 1.38/1.41 radio series had always given me poor wifi performance.
But wm6 with 1.46. series is perfect in terms of wifi perfs.
At last do you think that flashing with an official ROM (Asian or Australian doesn't matter) i will not have any king of strange problem like with the wm6 coocked roms?
I want wm6 but i want all the features work on the device too.
Thanks for your patience, but i'm going to buy my HTC p3600 nad i will do only if i can have a perfectly working WM6 device with working GPS.
Thanks

No, there are no garantees.

Since there are no garantees there is a choice to be made. The P3600 is still unique in his features. It's the ONLY Window Mobile based PDA with 3G enabled and GPS onboard.
And what you do want to consider is that even if HTC releases a WM6 for Europe, there are no garantees that the ROM won't have any flauds.
Exactly, there is never 100% garantee to be fully satisfied and get no default or bug. This is why the reseller is there to offer you a one year garantee, so if you fancy the specs of the device go for it.
I don't want to start any debate about which programmers have more skills and more time to do proper job.
Individual ROM cooks are amazing and none of us will ever reach their skill levels, and they do it for free, just for the pleasure of sharing with us, so we owe them the greatest respect for that.
But obviously , after having tried both, I confirm that there are less conflicts and bugs in the official ROM than in the cooked ones.
Also because they take more risks by adapting applications that where not designed for the device (ex: touchflo and kaiser interfaces in trinity)
But I do believe that new cooked ROM from now on will be far more reliable than they were in before (wm6 ones), mainly because they now have a stable basis (the official dopod release) to make their own developments on.
So the difference might be slighter and slighter in those respects.

Does this ROM update go as easy as the GPS unlock update?
I've done ROM updates that made you go through several activities and I just screw them up.
I'm looking for the simple version.

Tried this and no luck
I have an HTC branded and unlocked P3600
I got this error:
Error 294 - Invalid Vendor ID
This update utility cannot be used for your PDA Phone.
Ideas?
No, it is not as easy as the GPS update ROM, and cannot be compare as you just experienced it because:
- it's not a HTC release, it's a DOPOD release, aiming at Dopod D810 clients, from South-east Asia and Australia-New-zealand.
- the ROM is heavy protected by its SPL to not install onto other CID devices.
- The previous Hard-spl crack doesn't work anymore and if you try to install it: luckily u'll get an error it will refuse to install, unluckily, it will get stuck in the middle of the install and you might even brick your device.
That's why you could not manage to install it. There are plenty of topics over this issue on this forum, you can try one of those workarounds, but take all responsibility if something unlucky happens during the upgrade process.
By the way: SIM unlocked, doesn't mean CID unlock, you can install any SIM card you want from any provider, but your phone's CID still belong to a language, a geographical area, and a manufacturer, which is HTC, not DOPOD ;-)
Come on guys...
read and use your brain..!!
Use this SPL:

no chance without spl bla bla stuff?
i just want to excute and install :-(
that is it..
read the link I gave you. it is very simple.
copy this file to your pocketpc and execute it! works in 10seconds..
I clearly should do more reading before attempting this
Well, from you link, i can see that the boot unlocker works but i can't get back to my device because it's stuck in a boot loader rainbow screen.
How do i get it back to the OS?
I told you so...
1)
Don't think it's easy and simple, every one got different skills and experience and you don't help the noobies by saying "flashing a SPL protected ROM is 'easy and simple, just use your brain'...
Better being warned of the worst, if you want to do your best...
2)
There is a sticky thread in this forum about 'how to unbrick or unstuck you phone after having failed to flash the Dopod's ROM.
Read it CAREFULLY and try it out.
3)
Next time you try, use Olibro SPL or, more simple and safe for beginners, try to flash a ROM without SPL/IPL.

can you give more info on where you're stuck? (what is shown on bootloader screen). i'm assuming you've tried a soft reset to exit bootloader...
it's not that hard to flash a rom, the official dopod wm6 included. follow the guide here which will allow you to flash it without the new spl. it's still recommended to flash hard spl before a ROM flash to be safe.
O2 Germany today released a "new" ROM version for their diamond:
Version 1.37.207.3
I guess there's nothing new or fancy in there since even newer stock ROMs have been seen before - but I'll give it a shot and keep you updated about the versions of the specific components once I updated my Diamond...
O2 Germany official Diamond ROM
Cheers,
Alex
Great - DO NOT INSTALL THIS ROM! Custom weather cities don't work properly anymore... They ship an even older version of Manila...
I guess it's time to get into installing cooked ROMs now... But at least there's now an official image that I can use for warranty reasons.
No new Radio or SPL as well.
While I must revoke my statement about the custom cities (they do work, my mistake) this ROM still is not worth the upgrade...
I just called O2 and they told me there are almost no changes done in this rom and recommended me not to upgrade.
Hi everyone i have tytn11 with wm6.0 from 3 uk it is now out of warranty can anyone advise me on which rom to use and radio i live in uk and still intend using 3 network but going down to a cheaper package i would love to try wm6.1 ive seen australia released a rom update no such luck for us uk users please any advice would be good thankyou everyone.
i have had good luck with Josh's 6.5 roms and a 1.70 radio.. but you will have to experiment. ROM versions work better with different radios.. experiment.
Trying to fix what isn't broke?

Do you use GPS? Have you seen the *Hopeless* GPS after 6.1 update thread if you do? By all means read up on what to do first and try out some other ROMs but don't be surprised if you get no direct recommendations to try x or y ROM for best 3 UK performance as it can be a bit inflammatory to recommend one chefs creation over another. I went down the WM 6.1 (official HTC) path and went back to WM 6.0 for a number of reasons, GPS being the main one.
i'm in uk and use pdacorner Ultimate-X.V8 with radio 1.70.19.09 which is wm6.1 and i have no gps issues at all. very fast with no lag.
