Orange M700 UK guide to upgrade from WM5 to WM6 + other questions - P3600 Software Upgrading

Hi all,
I have recently got my Orange SPV M700, new to this forum so apologies if these questions have been covered before. My details are as follows;
Operator version: 19.123.1.615
ROM version: 1.23.61.5
ROM date: 01/25/07
Radio Version: 1.30.00.01
Protocol Version: 32.63.7020.08H
I am wondering about several things;
1. Can I upgrade WM5 to WM6, if so, where is the ROM and how do I do it?
2. Can I make a backup of my factory ROM/settings prior to the upgrade incase something goes wrong I can reset to original state. If so, how?
3. Has anybody successfully update ROMs to WM6 on Orange SPV M700s?
4. Can anybody recommend any cool apps/games for the M700 and where I can download them from.
Thanks in advance!
Scott

Scott, can't answer the question about WM6 myself, as I am also looking for this.
As to regards to backup ROM, there is this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309959
just tried it myself and works a treat.
As to apps, you definitely want to get hold of the M700 Bass fix cabs, without them, the sounds if hideous. PM me and I'll email them over.

Thanks. I have updated with the bassfix cabs and it might a slight difference, although not what I would call bass. I am using the supplied earphones though. Can anyone get any decent bass sounds out of those?

Regarding your 1st post- look in the Trinity/WM6 part of this forum. There are a few versions of WM6 you can load, but unless you are willing to risk your device, stay clear until you are fully familiar with it.
Installing an unoffical ROM WILL invalidate your warranty. There are ways to backup your ROM, but if there is a major system failure, you may not be able to revert it, so beware.
There is unlikely ever to be an official WM6 ROM from Orange. though HTC are still considering it. Dopod (Asia) are testing one. These would still infringe your Orange license however.
Having said all that, it is unlikely that Orange would detect an unoffical ROM, if there were a hardware fault, because fixing it would entail flashing the official ROM anyway!

i have updated mine to wm6 and it works a treat.
you will need to install the new voice mail notifications cab though otherwise a missed call results in a text message with [email protected]

Where is the link for the WM6 ROM update?

You would need to CID unlock it 1st otherwise you wont be able to anything other than an Orange ROM.
Heres the link

Rom update guide?

Hello everyone im new to the forum, i have a t mobile vario, i have managed to unlock it curtusy of lokiwiz unlock 0.2a. i have a few questions if someone could help me on
1. on the unlocker software there is a option of CID unlocking, what is this?
2. is there any differences between the different variations of the wizard, 02 mini, tmobile vario, kjam, qtek.... which has the better firmware??
3. can i put either kjam or qtek firmware on my vario?
Many thanks peeps :lol:
Speaking as an MDA Vario owner who has reflashed with the k-jam ROM (and now can't go back!) I would say the only benefit of changing ROM is to enable 802.11g network access, which T-Mobile disabled in software.
There appear to be no other benefits. On the downside there are features that come with the Vario that do not work with the k-jam ROM. e.g. the email setup wizard does not work. Hardly a showstopper but an example. There is also an error message on resetting about elatepushservices.exe not found or not signed. Again, it doesn't seem to cause a problem but why klutz your machine up without a good reason to do so? The version numbers of everything that comes with the Vario also seem to be higher than the k-jam ROM, which I'm guessing is a good thing.
Unless you simply must have 802.11g connectivity, as well as 802.11b, my recommendation would be to leave well alone. It will also make warranty support much easier.
oh ok so is that the only major difference then. i find my vario isn't that stable. my device currently reads
rom version 1.3.2.2 enu
rom date 9/25/05
radio version 01.04.10
protocol version 4.0.13.17
extrom version 1.3.2.102
did u use ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/ for your firmware?

I did use the clubimate ftp ROM and my equivalent figures, with the Vario extended ROM remaining, are....
rom version 1.1.9.3
rom date 9/16/05
radio version 01.01.10
protocol version 4.0.13.16
extrom version 1.3.2.102
so all my version numbers are lower than yours excep the extended ROM, which I saved from my Vario.
I don't recall the Vario ROM being less stable than the k-jam but you need to be very careful what software you install as there is a lot of stuff that is not 100% WM5 compatible. It might install and it might run but it might also crash or destabilise your machine. I have only installed the T-Nobile supplied GPRS monitor, Total Commander, TomTom 5.21 and a couple of GPS utilities and that's it.
As soon as you start throwing in today plugins and other system utilities that are less than 100% WM5 compatible you are asking for trouble, IMHO.
Hi there,
I just looked on the FTP, but is there any Dutch K-Jam/Qtek 9100 ROM available for the MDA Vario?
Thanks!!
Jeremy.
on the ftp i can see:
RUU_Prodigy_1030710_110_10410_Qtek_NLD_Ship.exe
-> uploads/htc wizard
this is right for you

Just check the XDA-Dev. FTP site.
There you can find the Dutch rom which greddy pointed out.
ftp.xda-developers.com
user = xda
pass = xda
hmmm by the looks of it i might hold out until theres some newer rom updates with significant improvements. at the mo it looks like theres only a few tweeks and i dont wana risk bricking my vario.
t mobile released updates for the mda compact and mda II http://t-mobile.iris-global.com/mdas.html
maybe they'll release some for the vario???
For us we own an english version of Qtek 9100 in which site we'll find the future ROM Updates?
have you tried xda developers ftp site? ftp://xda-developers.com/ or dont qtek have a support area?
Hi there,
Thanks, I didn't see that.
A few questions:
1. HOW CAN I DOWNLOAD THE FILE?? I can access the FTP-server, but when I try to download the Rom, the file stops downloading after apx. 20 - 40%, whichafter I even have to reset my router to get the internet working again. I used both the FTP Explorer and the Internet Explorer.
2. Should I also upgrade the Extended Rom? I want to get rid of these ugly, squared, pink and grey T-Mobile phonepad keys, so is this stored in the Extended Rom?
Which Extended Rom should I use? There are more of them, so which one is for use with the Dutch Qtek 9100 Rom?
Thanks again!!!

If you ae comfortable doing this, could you perhaps make a backup of your t-mobile rom. I downgraded to the k-jams rom without doing a backup...silly me, anyway would be grateful if someone would pop a copy on the ftp here.

Jim
I also done exactly the same, i didn't have a miniSD card, an i was too eager to upgrade so i couldn't backup my rom.
Now i wanna go back to the T-Mobile rom but no one has one on the FTP. would you be able to upload yours?
It would be very much appreciated by a lot of people here.
Cheers
i dont mind creating a back up of my rom, if someone can point me to how i can do this.
i to want to get rid of the rubbish pink phone pad, it looks ugly
jay - are you using ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/ or ftp://xda-developers.com/ ? it should work, unless your connection keeps dropping?
Need to refresh my memory on the back up procedure... get back to you on that later.
Regarding the pink key pad, a bit of registry hacking should sort that out
If you have a registry editor, follow the below, worked fine on Compact II but never got to test it on the vario before the downgrade
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Security\Phone\Skin
Properties
Dword- Enabled
Value - 0 (default HTC skin - cool blue)
if you change the value to 1 it then displays the T-mobile's wonderful pink and grey pad.
Save the changes and they do a soft reset
Hope that helps

Yes, i've tried in the FTP site. But in there the roms are backed up from other devices and not directly from Qtek support. First, I would like know if there is problem or there are any diferrences between roms backed up from devices and the other from official support.
In the end, i'm asking if there is a link for official Qtek support where we can find the future rom updates.
There is a nice pdf guide on backing up your ROM here you need to do procedure 'r2sd all' as opposed to 'd2s' as suggested as that guide was for the magician.

Newest ROM?
Hi,
I own a T-Mobile MDA Vario, too. It is already flashed with a WWE-KJam-ROM. Now I want to know, if there is a possibility to flash a German ROM to it. Or if there is a newer version of the KJam.
My device informations:
ROM version : 1.1.9.3

t mobile english version
hi to everyone
I have a mda vario with t mobile deutch and I'd like to know if it is possible to flash the rom into english t mobile rom or an other english rom. If possible could u gently explain me how to do?
many thanks
here are so many people with a German MDA Vario.
Isn´t it possible, that one of them reads out the original ROM and set´s it to the ftp so that others, that want a German ROM can flash this?
I am not a professional in this, so correct me if that is not possible...

hi, what are diference between my ROM and your adviced ROM ver ?
Hi, i used to use your rom before my current and it was quite a good rom but the aku2 rom i suggested is better
1. Has push email - so your email arrives in a way that your sms's does, almost instantly.
2. Rom is more stable - no more spontaneous soft reset's or dropped calls
3. Battery life is noticeably better.
4. Device is a bit quicker
5. Calls using the phone are better because it has an updated radio.
6. Downside is 2 line date - can be sorted with lvmtime and battery on taskbar - can be covered with same program.
hope that helps

Hi ,
Is this the latest normal rom, i mean not tweaked, tinkered or modified ?
I looked in the FTP server but the numbering system for the roms is not really clear...
Since i am Dutch i don't mind a Dutch version...
Does it have A2DP ?
rgrds Mike
I assume you have a t-mobile vario - latest official dutch rom is here http://www.t-mobile.nl/zakelijk/med...y_2210205_22102108_021911_TMO_NL_DUT_Ship.exe
You can stop the t-mobile extras installing by doing as soft reset just before they install. None of the roms mentioned include a2dp but there is an easy addon for that look at the a2dp addon thread.

Hi thx for the info.
Your're right i have an MDA Vario
Btw is this the latest ever or just the latest dutch ?
And is it newer than the above mentioned Qtek ?
rgrds Mike
Its newer than the above qtek rom the first few numbers give it away 2.21 vs 2.17 the higher this first number the newer the rom.
There is a newer qtek rom 2.8 something but its a test rom but you can get it in dutch. Only problem is that when you boot up it says test rom and some people have noticed a memory leak, but it does have a2dp included but many have reported it does not work that well with this rom.

hi, i upgraded ROM to AKU ver 2.17
but please help me to remove the new batery and GPRS icons
from the top info bar... the icons appeared after upgrade.

Those icons are part of the ROM. All ROMs of the AKU 2.1 variety are going to have those icons in place.
That said, if I were you I would immediately downgrade back to a 1.x ROM and do a CID unlock before upgrading. You don't NEED to do it if you stay with operator ROMs, but if you ever want to use a custom ROM in the future it's something you'll want to do.
The CID encryption changed somewhere between 2.17 and 2.21 and the unlocking tools no longer work. If you upgrade to a bootloader that is version 2.21 or higher you will not be able to use the current downgrader tool and you will not be able to use lokiwiz02b to unlock the CID. At that point the only option is to pay imei-check.co.uk to do the job. Might as well take the free route while you can.

why I need to upgrade ROM again ? this ver is working OK till now

Which is the latest, greatest ROM???

Hi guys,
Been a while since I've been on here and it would seem there has been a whole load of ROM updates since I last updated my Vario.
It was originally a UK T-Mobile ROM, I CID unlocked and SIM unlocked it and updated to the latest I-Mate ROM.
Had a look in the FTP site and theres a whole selection of ROMs to choose from!
Just wondered if some kind soul could advise which is the best ROM to update to?
According to my phone, I currently have:
ROM version 2.16.9.1 WWE
ROM date : 2/6/06
Radio version : 02.07.10
Protocol version : 413.1.03
ExtROM version : 2.16.9.101
Its an I-Mate ROM currently, but I don't care which ROM I put on it, as long as its the latest stable version available.
Also, is there a 'clean' version of the latest ROM? ie no crap in the extended ROM.
Do I understand correctly that as I updated the ROM from an old AKU1 ROM, the CID unlock will still be in place or do I need to do the unlock trick again by following the post regarding unlocking AKU2 ROMs?
Cheers,
Steve.
No replies??
I know it sounds a newby question, but I have read and digested a lot of the info on this site and thanks to all you guys I upgraded my ROM form the standard UK T-Mobile image to the latest I-Mate image. But this was a while ago and it would seem things have moved on and I was just after a gentle prod in the right direction.
From what I've read, it would seem Molski's image is the fastest and most stable out there at the moment. Also i now know I have a G3 phone as the IPL/SPL is 2.16.
I'm still not sure what will happen when I try to flash a new ROM. I know i SIM and CID unlocked the phone for the first ROM update, but will that CID and SIM unlock still be in place to allow the upgrade to Molskis ROM image. I would rather not have a brick, if I can help it.
Also, does anyone have an opinion on Molski's latest ROM vs I-Mates 2.16?? Is it any quicker or am I upgrading for no benefit?
If no-one replies then I will carry on reading and searching for answers to my questions and I thank you all for doing what you do on here and hopefully there will be a thread somewhere that will help me out. If I do get an answer then I thank you for helping a not-so-new newbie down the road to Wizard nirvana. :lol:
Cheers all,
Steve.
Hi mate, sorry cant answer your question,
I have a locked Tmobile MDA Vario with the latest tmobile firmware.
How do I unlock it?
and what is the best firmware to use?
I have used the search on here, but dont understand the firmware codes etc and dont want to risk flashing a wrong update.
thanks
To unlock the latest phones, from what I have read on here you need to use the latest Lockiwiz program, downgrade the ROM to a custom ROM, then CID and SIM unlock the phone, then you can upgrade to the ROM of your choice.
As for the best ROM out there, thats exactly what I'm trying to find out!!!!
ok I downloaded Lockiwiz 0.3a and it didn't give me the unlock code.
I wonder if this is because I have installed the latest tmobile firware.
anyway, it will have to stay locked for now. thanks for your help, sorry I cant help you.
for sim unlock download awizard or lokiwiz extract enablerapi.cab and copy it to your device.
then run it on the device and run lokiwiz or awizard on your pc.
worked for me
there is no need to downgrade your rom unless you have a particular situation and you just want tot do that.
anyway to upgrade your roms with cid locked phones read this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=47848
cheers
wo hoooo!
that did it, thanks, unlocked!! yippee
Well thanks to everyone for all their kind words and help.......... :roll:
Anyway, I have upgraded my ROM to Molski's 2.26 and it is fantastic. The phone is so quick, and I haven't even overclocked it yet! Very impressive.
So a big shout out to Molski for cooking this ROM, and long may he continue making stable, fast, easy ROM executables.
And also a big shout out to everyone on here. I know I made a sarcastic comment at the beginning but I still managed to search and find everything I needed to know, it just took many, many hours of rooting through to find the answers to my questions. But without all you guys the answers wouldn't have been there anyway.
It has also propelled me into making a noobies guide to this sort of stuff, so keep your eyes open for that, all you guys that keep asking about the latest ROM and how to upgrade.
Thanks again and i will be asking some more questions soon, matbe just to see if I get any sort of reaction at all!!!
Take care peeps,
Steve.

HTC 3600 and Dopod WM6

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?

Does it matter where I got it from?.. Or do you want to know where you can get it?..
http://rapidshare.com/files/42337174/D810_ANZ_WM6_Upgrade_20070709.zip
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.

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.
Explicit instructions for a dummy
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.
Jerry
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..!!

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.

Some questions

Hi!
After installing the HTC Toupad on my Kaiser, I have experienced big problems. Letters on the Keyboard (QWASYX) didn't work and even the onscreen keyboard didn't recognized these letters. So I decided to uninstall the application. But now I have other problems with my Kaiser and so I decided to Hardreset my device. But before I do this, I want to upgrade my Kaiser to WM6.1 and update it to the newest ROM/Radio.
Now I have some questions relating to that.
As a result that I am a Super Moderator in another forum I know that it is bugging if people don't read the Wiki/FAQs. I have read them, but I don't understand many things :-|
I have handled it to unlock my device, but when I was reading about updating to WM6.1, I saw only things like: "... works only with 6.1", update this, update that, and I don't know in which order.
First of all: Could anyone explain me how to update my Kaiser to WM6.1 and the newest Radio?
Secondly: What is this Duty FW? Is it a modified Rom with added apps?
Finally: I have a normal Kaiser. Not a Vario III, AT&T or something like that. Just the austrian version of the Kaiser with no brandings and so it would be good to have a Firmware without any brandings.
Thx in advance.
BTW:
ROM version: 1.56.405.5
Radio version: 1.27.12.11
Oh, I have forgotten one thing: Is it possible to change the LED blinking in the Phone Mode? To change it from green to blue?
The letter problem you were having was a simple fix with a cab that can be found all across this forum. All the ROM's can be found in the ROM Development forum and as far as what has been changed, modified, added, programs list, can all be found in the FIRST or SECOND post of each of the ROM's. So you will just have to read through them and find one that suits you best as they all have something different. Most of the radio's that can only be used on 6.1 ROM's will say "Will only work on 6.1 ROM's". And I would like to add even though you don't have at&t DON'T FLASH THE 1.65.17.10 RADIO.

You need to make sure before you flash a rom on to your kaiser that you flash hardspl - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679, and than after successfully installing that you can flash the rom of your choice. Please read the first sticky thread under the kiaser rom development form - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282; it has all the info you need pretaining to everything involved when it comes to flashing your kaiser. I strongly recommend you go through it and read the posts it points to that are relevant to flashing.
Once you have done that it is pretty simple process; just do yourself the huge favor and don't flash until you have flashed hardspl or you will brick your phone.
If its still a mystery I would start here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
No pun intended.
@thesire
I have already installed HardSPL. Otherwise I couldn't have unlocked my device with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
I have used just the Sim Unlocker Method. Not the Kaiser SIM/CID Unlocker & Changer
That's the reason, why my mobile phone is now with an english language
Just one important question: Do I have to change my current radio for the new Duty Release?
@KDKobes
Why shouldn't I flash THE 1.65.17.10 RADIO?
Some ROM's come with radio's some don't. Most of Dutty's ROM's come with radio's, but if you want to keep your radio then I would suggest finding a ROM without a radio in it or making sure yours is compatible with the WM 6.1 and reflash it back. The 1.65.17.10 radio will lock your phone to that radio only and you will not be able to change it until somebody can fix it. Alot of people are stuck with that radio now and can't change.
