Thanks for you news~

Not able to down load ROM
Hi ,
I clicked on your link ,and it directed to me to the HTC Down load Page.It asked for my SN number whuch I put in and I get this message.
Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
Can somebody please post this ROM in "rapidshare" or something.
Thank you,
Thomas

Does this one work with hardspl ?

No,it doesn't work even my device is a Asia one~

I need the link together to download about it.

Mirror: Rapidshare

Yes, I couldn't download it. The website just didn't recognize my serial number. Any advice?

New Asia Rom
Hi,
Thank you Sliders7 for the Rapidshare down load,I have flashed this new ROM , and I now have
ROM Version - 2.32.707.2(44800)
Radio Version-0.41.30.12
Protocol Version-12.41,30.16H
When I bought the model earlier from HK ,I had the following.
ROM Version 1.40.721.3(21259)
Radio:0.27.30.
Protocol version : 12.27.30.09H
Initially after my first Flash of this new Rom, I found the Jade very very slow and slugish,and the most importantly the Radio would not work.So I went back to the earlier Rom and I used Jade-Hard-SPL_V41 by Olinex.(I was using the earlier Version) and I Re flashed the Asia Rom again.
Every think worked perfectly now ,and this Rom is much better and definitely faster,than the earlier one ,and i feel it consumes less battery.Not sure if all this info, is of any use to any body.
But still surprised that HTC does not accept my SN even now.Maybe they are bringing out a different version for HK.This one seems to be the Singapore,KL version.
Regards,
Thomas

does this ROM have Simple CHINESE language ???

Ok here's my quick review of the ROM after using it a couple of days:
I have never flashed my current Jade with a third party ROM ever. I bought it with it's stock ROM from Maxis Mobile Malaysia (Malaysia's No. 1 Mobile Service Operator) and never modified it. I flashed this new ROM and I notice several improvements but also some downsides.
1. Much better Opera experience. Link selection is better. Opera is much more responsive to screen taps for selecting links, pages load fast and snappy.
2. GPS is fast and much better at geolocation.
3. We finally have the "Map Search" tab but it won't work until you install Google Maps on your device, which means you can't install Google Maps on your SD card which is bad since the map cache can take up to 40MB of memory on your device.
4. Much more free memory on the device.
5. Overall device is faster.
6. We now have slide to answer and slide to ignore by default in TouchFlo
7. Call volume is a little softer than before
8. Calls may drop sometimes but it's unclear if it's the phone's fault or the carrier error.
9. Touchflo's kinetic scrolling in favourite people tab and programs tab is a little choppy compared to the silky smooth scrolling for both these tabs in the stock ROM. Not a deal breaker though.
10. Camera is faster and smoother.
11. New htc boot screen
12. New Opera boot screen
That's about it I'll update more if I remember. Am I happy with the ROM upgrade? Yes I am...

Anybody use the garmin mobile xt with this new rom? does this new rom fix the satelite signal display issue?

If you update your ROM using official ROM provided by HTC, it won't affect your warranty. just download the file and run the installer, follow the on screen instruction, no need HSPL

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.
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.

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?

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...

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.

*Vodafone* WM6 ROM - Download here! (Quick!)

Hi guys,
Someone has uploaded the Vodafone WM6 ROM onto the FTP site. PLEASE MIRROR!
(Originally thought to be Generic -- it is indeed the Vodafone ROM)
You can download from:
ADMIN EDIT: File has been removed due to legal complaints from palm.
Good news:
- it is more 'naked', Vodafone do very little with the ROM
- HSDPA enabled by default
Bad news:
- it is the same WM6 build as the AT&T ROM
- Still need to run Treo 750 Update Recovery Tool if you have problems not receiving phone calls
WM6 build 17746.0.2.4
Firmware 1.47.02.00
Free memory on first boot: 52.11MB Storage, 26MB Program
Not completely naked, is a Vodafone branded ROM.
Very light branding if compared with the ATT one, but the voda rom is older than the ATT version.
I think is better to use the newer rom and then proceed to debrand.
BTW the vodafone rom is better for lazy people
re
Yeah the Vodafone ROM is definitely much easier bring back to basics if you can't be bothered with extrom etc...
I'm actually still having the issue with no incoming ph calls on this ROM too. Am running Treo recovery tool and testing now
re
Thanks to "The Solutor" for info saying it is a Vodafone ROM
The Treo Update Recovery Tool doesn't delete any data btw, you can safely run it at a later date after you've flashed with WM6 and sync'd your data.
Update Recovery Tool fixes the no incoming call issue. Don't know how! But it does

Orange Branded HD - Upgrade ROM

Hi Guys
Ive done a search but cant find anything specific so im starting a a new thread.
I have a Touch HD which I got through Orange UK.
Rom version sis: 1.19.61.1 WWE
At the moment im told that I cant receive any updates directly from the HTC site and orange dont really seem to care about offering a good after service.
So my option is to flash my phone with a new ROM, however which version to go for is my biggest question and I really dont have any idea. I understand the flash proceure. WIll any ROM allow updates from HTC site?
Thanks
Craig
hi
i also have a uk branded orange touch hd
i flashed it with the latest official rom from htc (the one that needs a serial number to download and the orange serials dont work)
just use a serial provided in the offical rom upgrade thread to download the rom from htc and use uspl 2.5 to flash it
i used uspl 2.5 to upgrade the rom
all info can be found using the search fuction on this forum
i also made a dump of the phone before i flashed it, just need someone to rebuild the .raw files to a flashable rom
hope this helps
math
Nice one Math, that helps a lot! Will give this a go over the weekend.
Craig
Ok, where do we start? Which ROM you choose is really a bit like asking what car should I choose to buy. The choice is entirely yours based on what you want and what you like.
I think the first question to ask yourself is what do you want? What Windows Mobile OS do you want? WM6.1, WM 6.1 with Touch flow, WM 6.1 with the latest version of Touch flow or WM 6.5 Beta. I'm sure there are more but lets keep it simple.
WM 6.1 or 6.5? HTC Touch Flow or not? What is your native language as you have nothing set in your profile etc?
May I suggest you have a look through the first few posts of each of the ROM threads for this month and see what takes your fancy. If you ask ten people you will get ten possibly different answers.
Look at peoples signatures and see what most people use as most display what current ROM they are using. Maybe try a few, but I suggest use the safest route and follow the instructions to the letter.
Its always a matter of personal opinion but I like Duttys current WM6.1 with TF3D XT3. It's the latest and well tested with fewer bugs than the stock ROM from HTC (IMHO) and is based on the latest technology from the next gen HTC phones.
Do your research and enjoy!

Hi Guys
Ive done a search but cant find anything specific so im starting a a new thread.
I have a Touch HD which I got through Orange UK.
Rom version sis: 1.19.61.1 WWE
At the moment im told that I cant receive any updates directly from the HTC site and orange dont really seem to care about offering a good after service.
So my option is to flash my phone with a new ROM, however which version to go for is my biggest question and I really dont have any idea. I understand the flash proceure. WIll any ROM allow updates from HTC site?
Thanks
Craig

Yes, the choose is your, but as an Orange user myself. I was bored with the official HTC Orange Rom and decided to flash my rom. Did manage to keep the back up on original rom in cause of warranty reason. I have try quite a lot of cook rom the only problem I had was mainly with battery life wasn’t good and will not last for a day or so. Since with this rom, HD|ROM||WWE|| ** EnergyROM HD Series 21042 - Final Topaz Manila ** || Build 40909 || man!! The software and battery life is incredible. Yes I would recommend to you

where did u get this rom from? link?
couple of newbie questions. I also have orange phone ...
If I upgrade to the latest HTC rom will I loose all my programs installed in the phones memory?
Will I loose my programs/they stop working (e.g. Tomtom) that have been reigstered with the phone (in add/remove programs) on my memory card?
Can I restore everything from a backup (sprite) ?
Is there any way of goign back to the older ROM if I need to send my phone back for warranty reasons?
Thanks

yes you will lose all programs, have to be installed again
if you take backup from your current ROM you can restore it later

Thanks for info. Just to clarify a couple of things..
Will my sprite backup restore all programs and settings to the new rom version?
How can I backup my existing ROM? I'm guessing the official ROM is a HSPL?
Thanks

USPL and HSPL these are different method of putting new ROM to your phone.
you will find more information in here:

with this method you can get a backup of your current ROM

Thanks again. I never thought it would be so complicated. I thougth someone would have created a GUI for this stuff, its amazing what they have GUI's for these days and this is still command line.
Still unsure as to wether I can restore my sprite back up after going to 1.56 rom though. With the amount I have installed its probably not worth the effort for now.

Help, 3600 upgrades!!!

Hello,
sorry for this topic, but I'm new here and not too skilled, so I need a detailed help 'cause I'm getting crazy!!...
Well, I have a p3600 EN version,
WM5,
rom version 1.23.405.2 (dated 2007-03-11),
radio version 1.38.00.11,
ExtVersion 1.23.405.103.
I read everywhere that HTC released rom and radio upgrades which unlock GPS (that I actually don' t see),
so I tried to download the latest official rom version (I still don't know the code, it should be the 1.23.408...) from the HTC download area, but it makes me download ONLY the same rom version that I still have, the 1.23.405.2!!!
I tried to flash it anyway and nothing changed...
That's why the 405.2 may is the latest rom version available for my phone?
Or my phone may have some sort of lock on it's codes so that I can't upgrade anything? it could be possible?
What is the right rom version I should have?
Please help me!!!
thanx in advance
Debby

Hi Debby,
After you upgrade your ROM you wiil need to flash radio with Trinity_Radio_1567011_1216023505 .
To test GPS function download and intstall on the phone GPS test, then choose beetwen Tom Tom and IGO and install'it on the phone.
for GPS test try this download link http://www.smartphone-freeware.com/download-gps-test.html
For the ROM I can help you only by email.
Y have the ROM and I can send you by email.
Be confident, you will succeed.
Good luck
Thanx a lot soso!!!
There's something I still don' t understand, but it's me I'm not skilled at all
What rom version do u have to send me? there's a newest version than the 1.23.405.2?
So the steps are: install the rom u will send me, then install the radio upgrade, and then test the GPS...right?
Can I send u my email address by PM?
Hi Debby,
I have the ROM upgrade only for radio version 1.56.70.11.
This upgrade is aplying only to the radio ROM
Your WM ROM will not change.
This is what I have on my P3600:
ROM version 1.23.405.2
ROM date 03/11.07
Radio ROM 1.56.70.11
ExtROM version 1.23.405.103
Before upgrading the radio ROM ,try the GPS test program.
Some phones "reveal" GPS capabilities with your radio ROM version.
Anyway,in both ROM version you don't actually see an icon for GPS device.
Install GPS test, run it from programs menu and you will see if you need or not an radio ROM upgrade.
If your GPS unit is enebled, the program will find it.
First connection of the GPS unit will take 3 or maybe 4 minute.
comunication port: 9
speed 57600
If GPS test find a GPS unit, install an navigation application(IGO or Tom Tom) , run it and enjoy
I wait a PM with your email address.
Bye
FWIW here is a link to the official WM5 ROM that does enable the GPS chip. It's the one i used initially to enable the GPS before making the leap to WM6.1. If i remember correctly it's a one step upgrade. Think it is the ROM/Radio you already have.
Mega Upload
GPSTest can be had from here, ChartCross Ltd.
Install and run it, it will then scan your Trinity for the GPS and report back onthe settings it is usung, and if left to settle down with a decent sky view, it will actually list the satellites it finds.
