Hi guys n gals,
first of all don't flame me. My Dopod 810 has not been ringing lately, even with the sound turned ON. I am now attempting to upgrade the ROM.
I have read the forum and am absolutely lost as to what the best WM6 ROM is. I am basically after ROM with WM6 and GPS enabled. It'd be good to have a "Touch" GUI that enables me to make quick phone calls and save numbers. It'd be nice to have FM radio.
Can someone please point me to a tried and tested, stable, fast (haha I know I am putting-up a gold plated list here) ROM able to work in Australia?
Also, what is this SPL and IPL I keep coming across?
Thanks a mil

At the moment I hate my 1 week old QTEK 9090.
To enable GPRS I normally have to reboot.
Sometimes to get Wifi and BT working I have to reboot.
GPRS drops out during a phone call
Sometimes I have to reboot when there is no sound at all on the device. Just no sound at all.
I have had it a week. Probably had to reboot it at least 3 times a day and the reboot is LONG!
Wow such a good concept let down by a HUGE number of bugs
What version rom and radio does your 9090 use? (start menu>settings>device information)
check here
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Upgrades
for latest official rom release by your phones manufacturer. Possibly an upgrade is beneficial! Either that, or your phone may have hardware issues. Check your service provider for repair/rma services.
Good luck!
Thanks for that.
I will check. One issue I have a work around for....
I only lose sound when I close down Windows Media Player before I stop the music. Stop it first and then close and all is fine. That is a start.
I wish the ROM upgrades were simpler like on my Treo 650.....upgrade does a backup, flashes the new ROM and then brings back the data....
I found my device and rom on that link ta. So does that mean I have the latets for my device....
This is exactly my 9090:
Qtek WWE OP ID 1.40.00 1.40.147 1.12.00
Protocol version 1337.42
So I must have the latest ROM for my device...ripper.
Rom
Yeah you have the latest rom. when i 1st got my qtek i had some strange issues as well. what i ended up doing was to install a different rom (downgrade) and then install back to my rom (latest version). Hey presto my pda was running much smother.
Take your time to read all the info on the forum and most of all read wiki!! It takes some time to get used to wm2003se if your switching from palm. Have fun!!!
Thanks.
I have used many PPC devices as well. Last one was AXIM X50V. Before that was IPAQ 2210, IPAQ 1930.......
From the 2210 onwards everything was nice and stable.
Just this device.....!!
If I could get it to reliably start up GPRS and wireless every time I would be fine. BT is not such an issue.
Now I have solved my sound problem that is excellent.
good bye wm2003se
I will be really honest with you!!! when i was using my pda with wm2003se i had to soft reset my device 5-6 times a day....wifi being the biggest problem. needles to say it was critical to have a good backup software (Sprite). after being really frustrated i found this site....(thanks god)....know i use wm5 and guess what after 8 weeks i have not had to soft reset my device once. wm5 at the moment is not perfect but for me its stable and quick enough.
Cool....so moving my QTEK 9090 to WM5 what should I look out for? What are the issues? Will I get anything else? Lose anything?
Stability is 100% key for, but in terms of features, WM2003SE has everything i need. It just doesn't work all of the time.
What WM5 ROM do you recommend?
Oops I see Ivan....got a link?
So what is the best procedure to do the backup?
Can I easily go back to the original ROM?
Ivan 4.3
it really depends how you use your pda and what kind of functionality you want. for me speed and stability are essential. i dont use blue tooth to much just to transfer data...(no headset). as all users of wm5 will tell you there are pros and cons with each wm5 rom. my advice is to read the forums and pick a version that best suits your needs. in any case you will have to do some hacks to really bring the best out of your device on wm5. see my sig for what i have installed.
forgot to answer your question. to downgrade your device is much easier than to upgrade. before you go down this road please READ wiki carefully!!!
I am looking to update my rom, which one would be the best for me to use on my cingular 8125? Thanks!
Yes Please help a Newbie
It seems impossible for Newbies who want to upgrade the Wizard to actually find the latest and greatest upgrade to the ROM. Please help!
rom for wizard
why not reading some posts?
you might find the anwser some where.
good luck.
and yes i know this seems to be a bit rude however if you want to upgrade you must read first
The thing is, there isn't a "best rom"... there's only different roms. They all work and depending on your preferences they might all be considered the "best rom". Usually, the latest version is the one that has the most improvements and speed gains in reference to earlier versions but there might also be a downside in stability... try different versions and find one that suits you...
Thats the thing, I cant seem to tell whats the latest versions of the ROMs from the posts, I cant tell easily which Faria or Molski ROM is the latest and greatest. The threads with the ROMs start months ago. Admittedly I am not paging through the 50 pages of comments and questions- just looking for some sage hack guidance on what would be best for my 8125 G3.
Anything that would help improve reception and dropped calls would be greatly appreciated.
Actually come to think of it, one particular feature that I am looking for is the ablility to scroll easily through past calls using the directional pad (a la regular cell phone) versus having to hit "Call History" on the Touchpad.
Any direction would be appreciated.
Macdaddy
Well... it's not much of a hard choice at the moment... check out the ftp, in the upload folder you'll find molski's latest. Faria's roms are no longer available... Besides molski's there's a couple of other AKU2 roms out there risidoro's for example... If you want something with a little more speed check out an AKU3 rom since it has quite the speed improvment... If you're satisfied with the rom that you're already using except for phone related issues you might want to consider upgrading the radio rom only. the latest is 2.47.11 and there's a thread that's quite active on where to find that and upgrade to it...
Today Speed Dial
Did it use log in number?
Past Calls

If I push the green phone button, I come to a screen that shows my last phone call. Then, I simply push "down" on the directional pad and I see all my recent calls.
Does that help?
Guys I am pretty new to this so I am turning the falme suit on...
The last time i tried to install some ROM i was constantly runnign into problems.
The only rom that I was able to get to work is that 5 tab menu screen with the digital clock as the background. Which I love. But i want something new.
My phone has been doing crazy things lately. For one thing, it is extremely slow. When i slide the phone open or closed, the rotation is slow and "laggy". When i open the screen to send text messages the screen is messed up.
Now the phone consistantly drops the calls after about 3 mins of talking.
When I answer the phone(incoming calls) using the speaker phone, the caller can't hear me.
I would like to have one of those Radio ROM,s so that I can listean to the radio occationally.
Can you help me find a ROM to suit my needs and fix my problems?
I have searched. I have read the "stickey" post, I have watched that video of that guys from "my tilt site" but I still can't get a new rom installed and can't fix my problems
I suspect you need to experiment with different radios. If you go to the Roms forum then check out the any mentions of your model and location in the Ultimate Radio Thread and check out any mentions of what radios are good in the thread for the rom you're trying. If you find a radio that's recommended in both then that's a good bet
start with the official HTC 3.34 rom (the one with the 1.70 radio version), its fast enough for most things. then move on to other roms like anryls or the recent wm 6.5 beta roms if you really want fast.
Thanks for your replies. Do I have to delete my current ROM before I can install a new ROM?
I tried the HTC Diamond album.cab ROM and the keyboard speed up ROM and neither worked
Please go to ROM section and read noobs flashin guide it's a sticky "sorry can't provide link as using mini"

Man, you really are a noob! those are not roms, those are registry entry cabs and programs. you ha e a lot of learning to do before you should attempt a rom flash. a rom changes the entire look and feel of your phones operating system.
depends on a lot of things radio you use programs you have on there how old your device is how old your battery is how much power is in it its a bit like how long is a pice of string
Hey there guys, i just recently found this forum and i'm loving it!
i found things that i didn't imagined that could be possible with my p3600.
so the thing is, i've a htc p3600 (bought in jan 2007) and quite frankly i like the phone alot. recently i saw a htc diamond with touchflo and everything else and i started to think that i should swap phones...until.......... i discovered xda-developers!!
i would really love to update my p3600 (currently on wm5) to a newer wm...with touchflo if possible.
my native language is portuguese, but if the best rom out there is english i don't mind..i just want this baby looking good
so i saw there are alot of roms avaiable... can you guys give me some advice on which one should i choose?
also, anything that i should be aware of before flashing my rom?
to flash my rom i only have to plug it (usb) and run the file... right?
would love some help.
thanks in advance,
so guys, i digged a bit myself and i ended up upgrading the radio to the latest version and installing "Karmba_a_Diamond_Blue_For_Trinity_v_Last"
i like this rom ... but there are a few bugs on it, for example sometimes when people call me i can't see who's calling (specially if the phone is on energy saver with the screen turned off) ... when it comes back on the screen starts flashing and i cant see who's calling... so my question is, can anyone advice me a sweet rom for me to use?
thanks again,
I am by any standards a complete noob at the whole rom flashing thing but here are the files i used.
[P3600i]_HardSPL_v1.1
HTC_Trinity_SIM_CID_Unlock_v1
[P3600i]_Radio_v1.56.70.11
and finally rom WM 6.1.0.4.5.0 Home
it all seems to work well with the only prob so far being occasional memory issues when i run Opera or Inturdnet Explorer.
Hope this helps
Smiffy
Any news on your upgrad
Hi,
I have the same prob, i want to upgrade my P3600 from WM5 to 6 or even 6.1, i upgraded the rom on HTC's website which is a waste of time because i am still left with WM5 on the phone, whats the point of that HTC? anyway i would appreciate any help
allan
Hey All,
Im back in the game after a couple years off.
I picked up my HD today. (was considering diamond2 or even tpro2 but the HD is the same hardware in a nicer form factor and I can live with the onscreen KB)
its the BLAC120 version, ie, 850/2100 UMTS bands. so i have freedom in AU to chose my telco as well as in the USA.
Now. my question....
i see the hard spl is for blac100 and USPL doesnt seem to work on Windows 7 x64 due to the USB driver not being compatable.
So how do I flash hard spl (if one is avail) or use USPL.
Then
which ROM do you recommend? is miri's rom stable? any major issues (yes there are 600+ posts but cannot read it all).
Or is dutty's v3.4 with wm6.1 a good option?
Radio? these roms above come with the radio packaged? or just the OS? my radio isnt the 900/2100 but instead is the 850/2100.
ANy help will e greatly appreciated.....
current ROM is the Telstra bloatware version... and currently running nothing except Lotus Notes Traveler.
Cheers
JJ
USPL works with the recommended driver fix.
About Roms' i tested both , both are good depends now what you want
Miri's rom have a little more bugs , but it's very good on resources arround 35%
Dutty's rom interface old 6.1 , resources arround 40-45% , with not so many bugs
So now it's u're decision, better try both in 10 min u'll flash both
p.s. roms yes they came with radio package and other programs , you just flash
Hey mate hope I can help (and that i'm right)
I have just recently put hspl on my HD and been flashing quite a few roms.
Most roms do not come with radios, most of Dutty's do come with radios.
I have flashed Dutty's 3.4, Miri v12, MaryONE, and Lost in Asia and each one has been very good although I prefer usability of win 6.5 (New start menu, still has manilla, better finger scrolling in all menu's etc).
As far as Rom's being stable, you will find that most are more than stable enough. The issues I have had with Roms is because i installed a crappy application or something.
The only way to find a rom you like is to keep on flashing, I recommend trying miri's (6.5) to start off with, it gives the latest build (most of the time) and is rather generic. Then try Dutty's(6.1), then decide if you prefer 6.5 or 6.1, then find the roms in that version of win and flash away. It also depends on what apps you want. Start off with the premiums that come with alot of apps, then decide if you use them all or not.
My last advice, is to get the microsoft myphone and sync your data to a server (or use PIMbackup) to backup ur contacts, sms, calander etc. Make sure you test the rom first before installing a whole bunch of apps. IE: restore your data and use the phone for a bit, see if you like it etc. No use spending an hour or so putting ur stuff back on to realize you don't like something about it!
I have flashed so many versions of rom's, it gets quite addictive! Good luck
noob question?!!! wow, after over 1000 posts
anyway the only allowed comparison between ROMs is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=516190
any other "comparison" thread is cut short (locked) because almost of all the other parameters for comparison are subjective: what I like you might not, i have certain apps you have others and so on...the only real good advice u got till now is from onlinepredator:

keep reading (i always start from the end) a few pages in each thread, try some and you''ll find "the one". good luck!
thanks so far. im assuming miri's ROM doesnt contain a radio.
with USPL, issue im facing is that the USB driver isnt compatable with windows 7 x64. If I can ge this to install then USPL is a breeze.
i flashed my Telstra HD via USPL with Windows 7 x64 using the old driver. Press F8 before Windows 7 boots and disable driver signing to install the old driver and flash your phone. good luck and enjoy your phone!
Noob Question from JJ Best joke today for me, welcome back JJ Black rom coming?

p.s. i ve tried 3 another ones
Welcome Back Old Mate
Hi old mate,
I laughed my head off when I saw your message about a Noob question. I have always admired your ROMs and installed them on so many devices for myself and my friends alike (I do miss those good old days).
My simple recommendation after trying the HD since its first day of availability.
1) Use HardSPL 1.56 so you can flash from the SD card with the new SPL from HTC.
2) Skip WM 6.1 and go for WM 6.5. I keep switching between Miri's ROMs and PhamQyang's and David's. They are the best. My personal preference is Miri's so far (unless our old friend jasjamming has some wicked plans to cook a better All Black ROM

Nice to see you back!

It will get your turnaround time on flashing roms down to less than 20mis and allow you to try them all.
Wiki has a lot of good info some maybe to basic for.
Which is best for you is your choice and its subjective, the reason that we (I) am closing threads like this is to keep Development clean and based on Development.
