Hi
Basically i just tried to download the latest ROM from HTC support and it wouldn't let me, kept saying "not suitable for your handset" after i put in my serial number. Basically e-mailed the support and they say that because my handset is orange branded, that I cannot download it from them. I have recently found another way to download the ROM, but in the email it said that orange may have made har or software changes to the phone. Will this mean that the ROM will not work? Have not yet tried for fear of bricking my phone!!!
Thanks
will most likely Brick it.
its the SPL that controls what ROMs you can flash.
That sucks.... my phone hasnt been updated yet, and is still pretty slow!
Cheers for the reply!
you can always flash a Hard SPL (i believe 1.37 is the preferred one).
you can flash back to the original ROM and SPL for warrenty reasons... i'd suggest making a note of the existing SPL version (can be found in Bootloader - Soft reset and Vol Down button).
Just checked, my SPL is 1.37.0000, does that mean I can update?
Orange have their own version of the latest 1.93 rom
It has MINIMAL changes - mainly the auto set up of Orange data etc
It's really fast and stable
Give that a try
You can dowload an up to date ROM from the Orange (UK) website - I downloaded it a few weeks ago. It is version 1.93.405.1. It works much better and quicker and has no Orange specific branding. Why not go for that one as then your warranty will not be affected
Hi, could you link that ROM, please?
Can't find it on the website.
Many thanks.
Here it is, enjoy it before Orange push out 1.97:

Just download and install HardSPL then the ROM of your choice.

Firstly...I'm with 3 in Australia
Ok, bought a TYTN II off ebay some months ago now from a Hong Kong dealer (that'll learn me) and it seems to not work with the 3G network here in Australia. The phone is always EDGE roaming and whenever it switches to 3G I can't send or receive SMS messages.
I've done some reading around and found that maybe I need to flash the ROM of the phone to an Australian one so that the phone will work properly. I found a thread on Whirlpool and someone there posted a link to this ROM for another user:
www.mediafire.com/?0jt1cwyx61g
Is that the ROM I want? If so, how do I go about flashing my phone with this ROM to make it work?
Can anyone help me??
You're more than likely having issues with the radio that came with the phone. Go to the ROM development forum, read how to unlock, install HardSPL, etc.. and then choose either one of the ROMs that come with a new radio available: NATF, Hyperdragon, Dutty's, etc... or look at one of the threads that show how to install a new radio. I'm not going to make any ROM recommendations, because it's really a matter of personal taste and how the ROM feels to you. For me personally, I've settled on T.i.R vk8 WWE build 19971. And I have radio version 1.58.25.17.
Hey dude,
congrats on the kick-ass new phone.
To help you with your prob, you'll have to signup and login to HTC E-Club for Australia, then download and flash the latest 3 ROM. Its the only way to ensure you have the correct inbuilt three network settings, there was a cab floating around a while back but it didn't include planet3 connectivity - only mobile internet.
look for this one :
HTC TyTN II WM6.1 ROM code for Hutchison ‘3’ Network customers
ROM version: 3.29.861.0
ROM date: 05/15/08
Radio version: 1.65.16.25
Protocol version: 25.83.40.02H
Date: 2008-06-02 Category: ROM Upgrade
I found the ROM development page and the list of radios that relate to the specific ROM's match the ones I already have (note: I already flashed my phone using the one in the link I provided in my first post).
I went and registered for HTC E-Club and went to download the WM6.1 ROM u mentioned Sanchez and when I entered the Serial Number it says the ROM is unsuitable for my phone. Is this because it is NOT an Australian phone?
Would this ROM actually work on my phone and would I be able to get a copy of it from somewhere else?
yeah, its not the actual ROM so much as the stuff Three bundle within that you need.
I'm aka Dr.Nerdlinger on whirlpool, a guy I recommended this to didn't have any problems, seemed to make his US Tilt into an Aussie Three TyTnII.. Havent tried it myself as Im already three branded.

I have flashed this ROM anytime I've had problems with others and it has always worked.
One question though, did Juvs Network Wizard not find 3 for you or it failed in some other way?
Congrats on your purchase and hope get as much out of it as I have

Damn! Sorry...
The ROM I posted the link to doesn't ask me for a "serial" when I've flashed it..
I assume you have run the Connection Setup wizard (Settings > Connections > Connection Setup?
Have you tried to manually enter 3's settings?
Perhaps flash the latest Hyperdragon III http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397121
It has a suitable radio for Australia and I flashed this recently on a TyTn II purchased in Malaysia and all worked fine (as did the ROM I referred to earlier)
Ok but to flash to that (being a cooked ROM) dont I have to do something before I can flash to that? Is it HardSPL I have to install or something like that?
Yes... Unlock and flash a hard spl...
It is quite easy
Excellent directions here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
I am in no way an expert with these devices but I have had no problem that hasn't been quickly resolved.
perhaps unlocking the phone may resolve your problem with flashing the 3 shipped ROM.... (again, no expert here)
Ok seems this is not gonna work. I've done some reading and apparently the board it to blame for my phone not working properly. Since it was an eBay job (but from a company) I can still get warranty but I have to send overseas to HK.
What do people think, I can buy a new TytnII for $659 and when the old one comes back from warranty I can sell it. Would the new one (if I bought from Australian store) work on 3G?
Unless it's faulty hardware, it shouldn't need a return. Don't spend your cash just yet
Try this new official 3.34.721.2 WWE HTC rom, with 1.70 radio.
Download it, plug your activesync cable in, run the exe file you downloaded - after 20 mins or so, you should have the latest ROM, with built in Aus Three Network detection (assuming you have a legal 3 sim-card)
(ps. it may seem like its stalled while flashing, but just give it time)
Report back if successful
Downloaded and installed last night - doesnt seem to have made any difference
sigh...

After Flashing a ROM you should always hard reset the device as well. After all this is done, what versions of the following are showing as being installed: ROM, Radio, SPL (can find the last one in the tri colour boot screen - read the wiki if you need to know how to get to the boot screen)? If all of this is showing correctly and you're still having problems then it's probably something like the sim (just any old sim won't do and it needs to be compatible with the phone). You could try another if you have a spare. When you switched it on, after a minute or so did you get a message popping up asking if you wanted to automatically configure the phone for your networks settings?
Bought one from Ebay for a good rpice though the photo should an unbrabded box. Turns up and it's an orange one.
Now I;m not fussed if was a Fisher price branded one though the ROM does worry me as the HTC website won;t let download the official ROM.
What are my options. I love the phone and would keep it (asked for a kick back anyway due to false advertising) though if I can;t upgrade the ROM I would be pee'd. It's got a cooked ROM by Olinex???
ROM Version 1.37.405.1.WWE
ROM Date 06/12/08
Radio Version 1.20.OliNex
What should I do??
Cheers
Looks like the one you got it from (sim-)unlocked it.
There should be HardSPL on your phone, so its no problem to flash an unbranded rom.
Had alook and can't find hardspl..phones woerks fine with my Vodafone sim and the data connection is all set up.
Just the fact that I wanted the official ROM on it and not sure if this is possible?
Been a while since i bothered with ROMs etc
searched the whole phone and HardSPL is not there???
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
hope this helps
did the SPL check and it does indeed have SPL1.40.
Does that mean I can flash the official HTC rom? straight over what I have?
Thanks....
hi, i was wondering whether i can re install the stock orange rom my phone came with because i may need to send it back for warranty repair?
if yes can someone give me a link where i could download it and the spl for and install it?
thanks
you can download an official orange one off the orange website, or look a few pages back in this forum for the link
thanks for the reply, ive downloaded the version 1.59.61.2 off the orange website but does anybody know which spl will work with this rom without having the colours go funny etc?
thanks
I returned my device with a non standard ROM on it and nothing was ever said.
Once its been authorised I dont think they track it - the guy who picks it up never checks the IMEI i believe it just gets chucked into a big vat of phones to be refurbed - the refurbishment involves a totally new case and total reflash of their latest firmware.
if you don't have hard spl installed, the latest orange rom will install spl 1.54
I have used the Orange replacement service many of times and never changed the rom back and never an issue.
Hello all,
I've been searching non-stop now for over a month, and this is stressing me out. I cannot find any solution, so before I'm criticised for a repeat thread or something, I'd be really grateful if someone could point me in the right direction or explain to me how.
I upgraded my ROM on Orange UK's website and it's 1.59.61.2
But I hate it and want to go back to the original ROM as it all was. I've tried everything for downgrade or change it and nothing works. I'm not liking the Orange branding and all the changes that came with.
Can anyone help please?
Also, on a separate note, Advanced Config never saves new settings. Any ideas?
Thank you all in advance.

You've obviously not tried everything as you've not got it to work
Maybe if you list precisely what you've tried we can suggest alternatives...
By everything, I mean everything I can think of.
Tried installing ROMs below 1.59 i.e. 1.56, but loads to 1% and that an error message appears.
Tried reading some of the guides on here, but nothing has worked yet.
I'm not so up to speed with all the jargon, but I'm learning as I go along.
u need to use HSPL from olinex to downgrade roms or use custom roms...its a sticky...i'm also on orange as soon i got my HD i put on a custom rom asap and been trying different 1s since then...
Done all that, tried it all and it doesn't change a thing on my HD.
OK, so in August I upgraded my ROM on the Orange web site after the HTC web site wouldn't let me do it because it said "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device" after I put the S/N in. It installed no problems, but changed everything from HTC generic format to a customised Orange format.
Since then, I have used HSPL from OliNex, and tried custom ROMs. On the tri-colour screen it comes up with a different version each time (at the moment, it's BLAC100 32M SPL-1.54.0000). But on the 'Smart Mobility' screen, it comes up:
R 1.10.25.25
G 52.57.25.30U
D 1.59.48753
I used a S/N to download the ROM upgrade from the HTC web site (RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.1_Radio_52.62.25.34_1.13.25.24_Ship). I go through everything where it says: "Verify you want to update the ROM version: From: 1.59.61.2 To: 1.56.405.1". It then appears to start, gets to 1% then fails coming up with "Error [294] : Invalid Vender ID"
I've done lots to the phone, installing lots of different versions of things, but it still remains the same.
Sorry for my ignorance and distinct lack of knowledge.
Not sure but the HD may be vendor locked to Orange roms when using an official rom update (clearly this isn't true with custom roms as they work on any HD). Try flashing one of the older Orange roms - 1.14 or 1.19. For my part my Orange phone came with the 1.19 Orange rom installed and had no Orange crap on it at all, it was identical to a generic rom. I did use the Orange 1.59 update but I don't remember seeing any Orange crap on that rom either, though I only used it for 10 minutes maximum as all I was after was a clean install of a custom rom.
By the looks of things you already know this but at the bottom of the first HSPL post there are instructions for flashing back the stock spl and roms http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431217
