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.

hmmm, sounds good
send me link to this ROM please. i use my mobile with English and Bulgarian languages. Is it work with ENG and BG ? I think Yes, but ...

re
please give me link to AKU2 ROM version for my mobile: HTC QTEK 9100
with Eng and Bulgarian support. Mobile Operator : Mobiltel Bulgaria. 10x

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.
10x

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.

re
why I need to upgrade ROM again ? this ver is working OK till now
i have not operotors ROM.

I use lvmtime - it covers over the battery icon and levenum has done a good job with it. (new version expected soon) see here http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=45084

AT&T Tilt Windows Mobile 6.1 Software ROM Version 3.57.502.2 WWE

Has anyone been able to download the 3.57.502.2 WWE firmware update from HTC? I have attempted to download over the past 24 hours however the file linked to the download page is the 1.62 ROM. I ask this for a specific reason. I need a ROM that has been through the Windows Logo Certification to compare some test results against.

i don't see no such thing on htc usa support website. only old 1.62.502 version

try this link:

If you follow the prompts, then look at the file name, you will see it is not the new version.

HTC Customer Support is aware of the link being for the old or existing ROM and they claim to be working on fixing the link. It may be that problems have surfaced with the new ROM and these are being fixed before we can download it. No estimate was given of how soon the problem will be resolved.

Looks like Monday at the earliest. Sounds about right. Can you imagine releasing a major update on the weekend when the support staff is at a minimum?

i dont know what you guys mean i am downloading the update right now. its working perfectly.

my bad wrong rom its the old rom i apologize

Double check...if it says 1.62, that is the old update. Check the size of the file, should be close to 90 meg.

Being discussed in another thread in ROM Development.

its a wrong ROM
its a wrong ROM, HTC is giving only the old ROM 1.62.502.0 in the above link. I am trying from 3 days, It says around 88 Mbs and delivers 70.9 Mbs

This ROM has been available since February 2008.

Firmware (ROM) Upgrade Available on UK Vodafone

I see that there is now a ROM upgrade available from vodofone uk
My current ROM version is 1.56.161.4
The upgrade is to 3.28.161.1
Has anyone done the upgrade and was it worth it?
And, if I do the upgrade, do I have to re-install all my apps and data?
Silly questions but I couldn't find the answers I was looking for on the search engine.

Where did you see there is a ROM upgrade available ?
LOL - never mind - I googled it and found this - http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/v1615upgrade.php
A ROM update does a 'clear memory' after updating the ROM on the device, which means that you will have to reinstall all your apps afterwards. Any data stored on the phone will be lost. To be safe, I would backup to Storage Card and then eject storage card before the upgrade.

ok, I guess thar no-one has had experience of the new vodofone rom, but does anyone know if I need to reinstall my apps after the upgrade and do I loose my data?

yes. imagine a hard reset.......
Either use something like SPB Backup and do a full backup before the upgrade and a restore afterwards or re-install everything afterwards.

Experience with HTC original ROM 'upgrade' to WM 6.1 was a disaster

I have no experience with the Vodafone WM 6.1 upgrade (from Windows Mobile 6.0) but certainly the HTC upgrade to WM 6.1 undisputedly has more 'issues' than the original WM 6.0 ROMs with very little benifits at all for me. Have a look at the Windows Mobile 6.0 vs Windows Mobile 6.1 thread (in the ROM development forum). LOTS of users are reverting to WM 6.0 ROMs (having dabbled with 6.1 and given up in disgust in my case). Research fully so you know what you're in for if you do decide to take the plunge and 'upgrade'.
Yes you would need to reinstall all your apps and many backup programs have issues with restoring to operating systems that differ to the version the capture was created on so don't count on it being plain sailing unless you have a simple setup and all your software installation files (checked in advance to be windows mobile 6.1 compatible - not just WM 6 generally) are available to hand.
A fundamental question you must ask yourself is what do I want from the upgrade - I hope it's not better GPS functioning

that firmware is the same as whats on my phone, has been at that version for months now

I have a Vodafone v1615. It was swapped out under warrranty a couple of months ago. The new one has WM6.1 but the ROM version is still: 1.56.161.4 (05/02/2008)

Does not compute

How do you know the new one has WM 6.1? That ROM version is definitely WM 6.0 so something doesn't add up there. What else does it say in settings -> device information and about? Are you happy with it how it is?

from the Settings-About screen: windows mobile 6.1 professional
ce os 5.2.19212 (build 19212.1.0.3)
from device info
rom ver: 1.56.161.4 WWE
rom date: 05/02/08
radio ver: 1.65.16.25
protocol ver: 25.83.40.02h (btw what is this?)
i'd save some screen shots for you if i knew how to
works fine for all the things i need to do. What doesn't work under 6.1 and I'll try it if i can?

i had no idea orange even release updates for Touch HD, i wouldnt even try it

Any one tried this yet?

I'm downloading it, its worth a look, can always flash back to 1.56
Just flashed, strange... The splash screen says:
Smart Mobility
Test Only
Not For Sale
ROM verion 1.59.61.1 (48753)
uses radio 1.14
wm6.1 build 20769.1.4.5
Opera Version 9.5.16703
AGPS is enabled by default.

seems ok for a stock rom
youtube player is pretty decent, didn't stop once during a 4 min video
no activesync popup like the old ones
I'm just away to try blackberry connect on it to see how it goes

thank you for the ROM
Thank you for the ROM! It says on boot (just under the smart mobility part)something like "test version, not for sale". Obviously, it's made out of very old "components" (TouchFlo 1.3, etc) but, to be honest, this ROM is quite fast, and more important (for me) there's no lag on input keyboard, I almost forgot how good it is, without lag when typing
I think I may keep this for a week or two and see how's going. Right now I think it's the fastest ROM that I ever saw on Blackstone.

How do I get rid of the "Test Only".... I flashed this ROM, didn't like it and then flashed Dutty's R12 but the Test Only is still there.
I saw someone mentioned something about an nbh file elsewhere but not how to get it.
Thanks

This is Touch Flo 3D Version 1.3.37395.3_1630.38 from Windows 6.1 Professional CE OS 5.2.20769 and ROM version 1.59.61.1 (48753) WWE dated 06/10/09. Its is a very old rom but my word is it quick!
Seriously this is quick.
H

It does however come with a program called "video player" which is version 05.20.25.01 and possibly quite old, however its is excellent at playing judder free video recorded on the HD!.

6 resets still haven't cleared it

you shouldn't flash new rom if you don't know exactly about it

I'm taking a guess here (just a user, not a chef), but perhap's Dutty's Rom doesn't change the splash screen, but other ROMs might?

maybe, try miri rom 6.5 with orange splash screen

tried tricolour blue 6.1 and miri 6.5 26.3 and no joy
reinstalled HSPL 1.56 and no joy!
damn you orange, its the latest official rom for my phone (bought on UK Orange originally)
Of all the possible problems that can happen during the countless roms I've tried eg sd card missing, bricking etc, I can't believe that its an official rom thats giving me problems ! unbelievable
Why would they put this crap on it.

Try an official 1.56 rom.

I don't know if this would help?

SOLVED
Just flashed HTC Europe 1.56.401.0 and its fixed
Thanks for all help

Nice find, just need my replacement HD to hurry up and arrive today from Orange and I can start flashing again. Is there any proven way to get rid of the Test message? Thanks to the original poster

Having difficulty downgrading from WM 6.5 to WM 6.1 (SPL Issue)

Hi
I just bought a 2nd hand HTC Touch HD and it came with WM 6.5 already installed. I didn't like it cos it wasn't the official ROM so I decided to downgrade it back to the original WM 6.1 ROM. So I downloaded the official ROM and downgraded it back to WM 6.1. However, after a reset now, I'm having the "green screen" problem where the screen colours go bizarre every time I reset the device and after switching the device on/off it gets back to normal.
I then discovered that the SPL and ROM numbers need to match. My device's current SPL version is 1.56 and the ROM version is Orange 1.19.61.1. So how do I downgrade my SPL to 1.19?
Any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thanks.

Everything about flashing you'll find HERE
I agree (but it's just my opinion ;-)), that 6.1 suits better for HD, but I think that there are lots of better ROMs than stock and everything you can find on xda-developers (I prefer kwbr's Topix based on WM6.1 (3.5 or older 3.1.2) - they are one of the most up-to-date WM6.1 ROMs)

i agree with the post above. if you want to go back to 6.1, try the latest topix 6.1 version.
just as fast as the original ROM, but with lots of newer features
