Tell me about it. Or for my Canadian friends, "tell me aboodit".
I'm already looking to build an AKU 2.5 ROM...can't imagine why, 6 months after AKU 2.3 was built by MS, Cingular can't catch up.
So, it looks like we'll see a long delayed release based on a 7 month old OS version and potential radio and connection freakiness. Awesome.

Hey Summiter,
Is the version they are about to release the same one that you called ****ty a couple weeks ago?

Is it naive to give Cingular the benefit of the doubt and they addressed some of the bugs that you found before they officially release it? Would not the version that was leaked be more in line with a beta release? I appreciate the work you have done but why denigrate others?

I have a very, very strong feeling that the bugs have not been addressed.

Purely speculation.
I had thought about upgrading using one of the ROMS already out here. When my device crashed and had to be sent in due to a hardware issue I was very happy that I did not. Clearly I would not have been happy with a $400 paperweight.
Additionally I have one comment regarding request for help. I have PMed you before Summiter asking for help. Though there may be answers as to how to install, what to install and in what order, this is not easily determined. That is the main reason I have not used these upgrades. I've read if I had a problem that I could downgrade but with all the confusion I did not bother. I'm not above searching to look for answers but this is a big deal. And I know you are busy but I for one would be real appreciative if the next ROM that you post includes step by step instructions you will really help many like myself.

help?
Navec245,
People are willing to help here. But if you were not willing to spend time doing your own research in the forum, other people would not be able to help you much.

Naw, not naive, go for it.
I based my comments on the possiblity that what gets released tomorrow will be identical to the leaked 2.25 ROM. I came to that conclusion because, although the file being linked to atm is an incomplete archive, the screenshot indicates the same ROM, radio, protocol, extended ROM, and build date as the wonky leaked AKU 2.2 version. What's there now could very well be a placeholder for the real release tomorrow.
I'm pretty sure I wasn't denigrating anyone. I stated a rhetorical non-question to postulate my personal preliminary hypothesis post-haste.
All these big words have made me hungry. I'm gonna go make a Pb&j sandwich.

Well ... Cingular dropped the ball ..... BUT THE MIAMI HEAT DIDN'T DROP THEIR'S !!!!!!!!!!!!!
sorry ...

IS there an issue with the 2.23 AKU where its keeps losing cell and edge signal for a period, even while not in a call? I even have loaded the new Radio rom

Blame it on Cingular. MS just releases the OS, and then HTC and the carries write the drivers and radio stacks for their devices. It could be worse. Look and the Motorola Q that just came out; it has no MSFT at all and how long it has been since MS released it? In that case Verizon/Motorola are draging their feet. BTW, your 2.3 ROM rocks and I bet 2.5 will be even better.

Hopefully it shouldn't be to long before someone at HTC America realizes they posted a corrupt file When Cingular gets loads of phone calls complaining! Its currently only 08.25am in New York

I just shot them an email about it. Usually they respond pretty quickly.

Slimsaturn,
Cingular has been experiencing signal power fluctuations since late Jan.-early Feb. Their acknowledgement of this issue also fluctuates from full disclosure to total denial???? They originally stated that it was in 29 markets including S. Fla. and were very forthcoming with account credits. Then they(multiple c.s. reps) were in full denial blaming everything else possible including the four different lines of service I have with them. Recently, they again acknowledged the issue and said they still cannot figure out what is causing the fluctuations and gave me a 50% credit.
The funny thing is the problem was brought on by something they changed/upgraded. It was like a switch was thrown and my signal strength that was usually full at home, work, and points between varies from FULL to NONE in a matter of seconds on all four different numbers. I have lossed/dropped atleast five calls while on the phone with their techs to help my cause. Their range of acknowledgement must be from directives they receive. I mentioned this to the last rep. and she was extremely apologetic, but would not explain why they keep changing their story.

file size changed : 7:53am CDT
Anyone notice that the file size has now changed to 52.3MB? HTC's upgrade page is about useless - how do you know whether or not this is the new ROM? The file name looks like it's still the old one...
RUU_Wizard_1081101_1.....

I am still getting offered the 39 mb file. Must be through different servers????

Odd. I just tried it again and now I too see the 39MB file. Perhaps I was looking at a cached copy of the web page from last week....

Just FYI -
The bad file is:
25111_22511102_022511_CWS_WWE_Ship.exe
39.0 MB (40,947,200 bytes)
It downloads fine, but fails when unpacking, with the following message:
"The contents of this file cannot be unpacked. The executable you are attempting to run has been corrupted. Please obtain another copy of the file, verify its integrity, and try again."
Hope they figure out their problem soon!

When will we be seeing an upgraded ROM From HTC support ?

I'm new to HTC and I have now had the Diamond for around 3 weeks, I do understand that no device is perfect when it is first released, actually no device is perfect . Later down the track I'm hopefull updates will be released to rectify some of these bugs we are experiencing! (especially the RAM leak, it's just plain nasty)
Now what is HTC like with there support, what is there timeframe with updates and new firmwares etc. ?

If you look to the kaiser then it will be a year from the release date.

I have no idea but have you checked HTCs website for any rom updates??. A forum member mentioned that there is a new rom out 1.35 i think. Best thing to do is head over to HTC and see if they have any updated roms or check in the rom section of this forum.

Yeh, i checked the site, HTC e-club Hong Kong, no ROM love there.

I hope that HTC will release updates on a more frequently basis, since HTC tried to make the Touch Diamond a real iPhone killer. Weather or not they succeeded in this goal, is open to discussion, but they will loose the battle for sure, if they don't manage to keep the customers happy.
One of the ways to keep the customers happy is to make sure they don't have to wait for almost a year on new updates. The phone was only recently released, so I'm not surprised that is has some minor issues here and there. I would be surprised if it would take months for the first update to appear, since there is more than enough feedback.
Yo HTC guys! Are you reading this? I'm afraid not...

I have insider info that the TFLO3D is being revised for better performance due to lag. We should see a ROM soon, either from me or HTC.

Hi guys, bought mine last week and my ROM ver is 1.35.
What do u guys have?

I have ROM 1.35 - seem to have many fewer issues than some others on here - e.g. TF3d reasonably respnsive without tweak, no excesive heat, very good voice qulity (inbound and outbound) on the phone, wife works fine etc.

The latest ROM is 1.37 but still not available at e-club for download, if your country do have a HTC service center then you can give them a visit to upgrade.

MDA compact IV official rom update?

Just called t-Mobile trying to get my handset replaced, I was told they are working with HTC and release a new software update. I guess this means a new ROM grade? Hopefully radio upgrade as well.

whats the poblm with your mda4?
battery life suck on mine....

I have been very tempted to flash using a cooked rom, but there is a slight issue with me screen, a ghosting effect. Doesn;t affect the phone just a bit annoying. Just incase i need to send it back, that's why i haven;t flashed it yet.
I'll wait for the offical ROM release, see if this fixes my phone issue.

Anybody have some official news?
Normally TMob are notoriously slow at releasing new ROMs!

yea my MDA is slow and lacks long battery life but i'm scared to flash a cooked wrong as i've never done it before! I'm pretty into this stuff anyway (flashed ipod touch [+ dev for it] and my psp etc) so i know the basics, but is it really risk free, apart from the obvious stupid things?

Fella.. to be straight with you... HTC and T-Mobile SUCK when it comes to Roms.... They will NEVER beat what the guys from xda do with these Roms...
Try either Panosha "shine 1.6" with radio 08 or bepe's with the same radio ROM
you will be totally shocked with how fast these guys cooked Roms are...!
P.s And yes i do own a MDA iv on t-mobile...! and believe me the stock Rom SUCKS..!

Tmobile are planning a rom upgrade any day, the compact iv is actually out of stock beacuse the latest batch has been sent back to have the rom applied, so its doubtful you would get an exchange done in the next couple of days anyway.
Normally tmobile drag their heels with rom upgrades but I think the level of returns has meant that they need to do something and quick.
I'm on my 3rd compact iv but exchanging has been a nightmare as the exchange kept failing due to low stock, so chances are if you went for an exchange now you wouldnt get the handset replaced for a week or 2.
Hopefully the rom upgrade will fix your problems. You can of course flash a rom from here which are so much better, but some like to stick to the stock rom for warranty reasons.
For more info see this thread over at modaco I spoke to tmob for over 30 mins to get this info from them so Imm really hoping rom upgrade will be soon : http://www.modaco.com/content/diamond-diamond-modaco-com/271679/t-mobile-mda-compact-iv-recall/

I hate to disappoint you but that isn't true. There is no Compact IV ROM update in development. The next time you see a ROM update for this device it will be Windows Mobile 7, if at all.
Upgrades and warranty exchange stock are seperate entities, and the returns of the Compact IV are not really much higher than the average with any other phone.
Strange how you're on your third considering their' policy is to repair following the first exchange.

I have only used two cooks Rom, Panosha and bepe's. I personally thinks these two guys are the best cooks.. (some may disagree)
Look for Panosha "Shine on 1.6" and use with radio 5 or 8
Look for bepe's rom if i remember its called "belite" again use with radio 5 or 8.
Also remember use MUST use a hardspl rom before flashing radio and main Rom.
Believe me fella you wont get a stock Rom running faster than these two cooks mentioned above...!
Good luck and ENJOY...!
P.s Don't forget to buy the guys a beer...!

Hello there.
I have just got myself a MDA Compact IV...I do like it, however....
I am aware there is some issues with speed and battery life, I also know that a rom upgrade will do the trick.(this is where i get a bit stuck.
What i need is where do I get the information and downloads to do this.
This might be a stupid question but please could someone point me in the right direction.

Goto diamond rom development...
Im currently using Panosha "shine 1.6" probably one of the best cooked roms..
you need to read up before you flash....
First off you need a Hardspl rom......
2nd you need to change your radio rom to either 05 or 08
3rd choose your cooked rom
P.s PLEASE do your research before carrying out any rom upgrades.....or you will BRICK you Mobby

Thanks for the info mate,

Upgrade my TyTN II to 6.1 ??

I have been looking to upgrade my Tytn II to the latest ROM however I have not been able to get the upgrade it from HTC.
but its seems to not be there....
My system is
R 1..27.15.32
G 22.51.8.13H
D 1.82.00.00
Now I"m not sure what all those numbers ar efor but I know the R is for radio!!
I got lost after reading that bit... I was going to try to upgrade it myself but got confused so I stopped... trying and thought I'd wait till an update was available from HTC...
Well it seems its not to me anyways...
SO if there is anyone out there that can help me sort out an upgrade..
I live in Brisbane, and use optus as my carrier... my phone is unlocked as far as I know... I purchased it on the net from a Melbourne online store.
So help an Aussie if ya can.....

if you want to upgrade, then please start reading here.....

6.0 good gps

Why go to WM 6.1?

Exactly! Having been there, done that and decided to go back to WM 6.0, in my effort to help a fellow person from 'down under', I can tell targ that if he uses (or expects to use) Tomtom or GPS at all on the device, he'd better be very patient at waiting for satellite locks under WM 6.1.
Although HTC have improved some of their WM 6.1 upgrades by using a newer Radio, I've tried the latest WWE version and it's still far short of what my original WM 6.0 implementation achieved as far as GPS performance is concerned. Once you upgrade to 6.1 it's quite a task to go back to WM 6.0 (the spl needs reverting too) so I had HTC do that on my device under warranty.

Yup tried reading that...
got lost as to what I need to match to what!!!
Like I said I'm looking for a some help to do this .
I"ll have another crack at it though see if I can make sense of any of it...
Peto01 man what you mean the gps goes crap... in 6.1
Is this only in a few units or every unit.

Have a look at this thread about *hopeless* GPS after 6.1 update
The problem seems fairly widespread with TyTN II WM 6.1 updates. Since the ROM and Radio on your device seem to be from the Rogers network (as listed in the xda-dev wiki), that may explain why the generic HTC upgrade doesn't work for your device (only genuine HTC TyTN IIs will run the HTC upgrade as-is).
If you're just wanting to upgrade to WM 6.1 because it's the latest, you may be disappointed!

Useful!
I was browsing forum trying to see should I upgrade my stock 6.0 ROM to 6.1. Now I am sure that I will wait for couple more months (weeks?) !

I'm inclined to wait until the next ROM and Radio release has been tested/reviewed
I'm inclined to let someone else be the guinea pig regarding fixing the broken GPS. When a new ROM/Radio Combination is released on HTC eClub/Support, I'll check here to see how reports about GPS performance look and then when I'm sufficiently sure it's not still broken, will again jump over to WM 6.1.
Once bitten, twice shy and I don't want to have to get HTC to revert it to WM 6.0 again!

I had the same experience and reverted back to 6.0 roms. BUT I've recently been using Garmins WM6.1 DK3 with radio 1.65.17.56 and the GPS fix is always quick and strong - Works all over UK. This setup may be worth considering.

I want to keep it all official HTC and not have to use hardspl at this stage, besides I prefer the look of the original HTC setup (themes, icons etc) over the customised Garmin DK3. The latest official HTC ROM for the device uses the same radio as you're using and I was far from satisfied with its reception instability compared to the old WM 6.0 setup. I've sent a letter to the big cheese at HTC so will wait and see what happens!

Flying Kiwi,
What do you mean "Rogers network" (WTF) I bought a HTC Tytn II from a Retailer. surely this is not a fake HTC??
Should I be looking at taking it back?
Does this mean I don't have any Warrenty?
This would be why HTC said that the Upgrade is not a suitable for my unit... going by the S/N!!
What am I to DO now.
As for the GPS issue some seem to be having no real issue with cooked roms.
AS I live in Australia would I need to get a diff radio then say you in the UK?
I"m rather intrested in the L26 TL ROM of Leo's
And if I understand it correctly I need to
1. run jump SPL
2. then flash the SPL that suits the rom I go for.
3. flash the Radio
4. Flash the ROM I have choisen.
Then hard reset.
IS that right?
or have I got the order wrong or missed a step.
Just trying to make a simple as I can..
Would my location and carrier make a difference as to which SPL, ROM, RADIO I use.

OH yeah !
What Does the R, D, and G mean...

Well, I finally did my first ROM change (to 6.1) and have to say I don't have any problems at all.
I have a T-mobile Vario 3, that although everything worked, I always found slow and buggy.
I went for Sleuths 6.1 V3 ROM, simply because I was a hermes user before and his stuff was always flawless.......and I was proved right again.
It's really simple to do, contains the correct radio (much better than the shipped one), and is really fast and stable. Had it a week and used it intensively - no problems with Tomtom or GPS - the same, if not better than it was before.
I would suggest, if you're not sure which one to go for then try this and see if it suits you.

Ok I tried to use the link in the WIki to the Jump SPL the latest one that only needs you to follow the on screen info..
And well according to the on screen prompts it must be done but as for the unit its self I don't hink so as nothing really happened on it... I"m thinking that the wizard does not like Vista or it does not like Sync Centre.
anyone able to help me out ....

No WTFs reqd after-all

Your Radio (R) is the same as that used by Rogers on their WM 6.0 ROMs. But you're right, I missed the bit about your 1.82 series ROM though so it looks more like you have the 3rd one down the wiki list of HTC WM 6.0 ROMs here and not the first: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs

Not if it currently works as you need it to but you could see what their explanation for why there is no WM 6.1 upgrade for your device yet is. HTC in Australia should also be able to advise you http://www.htc.com/au/about_htc.aspx?id=21840

And some are so are you willing to take that risk as a newbie and get stuck with a non-original non-warrantable installation thats not straight forward to revert back to original WM 6.0 if it plays up for you? Is it not worth liasing with HTC first to see what they have to say about a possible WM 6.1 update if you're really that keen?

Pass on the Radios but if history is anything to go by, there are a few different ROMs on that wiki page released for Australia. If you do a bit of searching around here I think you'll find cases of peoples non-Australian purchased TyTN IIs having problems when used there as well. I can't recall what the issues were but there definitely were issues (months ago before WM 6.1 came out on the Kaiser). Perhaps a search for Australia just in the Kaiser General or Kaiser ROM Dev forums may yeild results.

Thanks heaps I'll follow your leads Cheers

HTC Official ROM - question.

Hi there
I posted this in another thread, but got no reply? So I have started another thread hoping for better response.
I do not normally get any answers or replies on this forum for some reason, hopefully i will be more lucky with this post.
I have just bought a used Touch Diamond, and was looking at downloading and upgrading the system with the official ROM upgrade from HTC, (Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1)
It doesn't give you that much info on the HTC site, and I was wondering if
1 - it will be WM 6.5?
2 - It say 'Orange' ROM, would this revert the phone back to Orange only sim settings, or would I still be able to use my O2 sim card? The phone is 'Orange' branded but unlocked.
Thank you and here's hoping for help.

Hi there
I posted this in another thread, but got no reply? So I have started another thread hoping for better response.
I do not normally get any answers or replies on this forum for some reason, hopefully i will be more lucky with this post.
I have just bought a used Touch Diamond, and was looking at downloading and upgrading the system with the official ROM upgrade from HTC, (Diamond_HTC_WWE_1.93.405.1)

I don't think 1.93.405.1 is the current official ROM from HTC. There has to be a newer one like 2.03. xxxxxxxx
Anyway the newest ROM for Diamond is still WM6.1. There is no official WM6.5 ROM.
If your diamond is simlock-free then you can use the orange-ROM with other providers. I had the official ROM from O2 and used it with a T-Mobile-SIM-card without problems.
The only thing is that the provider-settings are false. But there are tools to configure this.
Or you use the official HTC-ROM without branding:
www.htc.com => support
There are also good custom-made ROMs.
Good luck.

Thank you for your reply.
I have tried a couple of ROMs since I got the phone, but there always little niggles with many of them. At the moment I am using a 'BsB Ultimate 6.6' ROM which is quite good, but I would like one with the animated weather reports (the windscreen wiper) and the book like image viewer that you can flick through.
Any idea which I am looking for by that description please?
Thank you
Steve
P.S. Oh and maybe I should mention that i am the O2 network so if there is an O2 ROM available, that would be a bonus.

I had this ROM on my diamond and I was pretty happy with it. I don't know wich language you prefer.

It's with Sense 2.1 wich runs really good. A network-wizard to setup your provider settings is integrated.
