Ok ive had my HTC Tytan II for about 1 year now on Orange.
(If it makes any difference Im a UK member)
And other than using it as a phone and a gps (and the odd game of solitare) thats all ive managed.
So am a complete novice when it comes to tweeking etc.
Now recently ive my touchscreen stoped working - for about a week.
Then it started working for about a week,
then stopped for another week
and is now working again.
A friend who also has a HTC - told me to hard reset it - to see if it would solve the problem.
Anyway its done, and currently works fine (hoping its not the touchsceen thats gone, just a software bug!)
My OS is Mobile 6
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
Now I want to update the WM OS software to the latest version, but went to HTC website to try and do it and basically said i couldnt download it.
So Where can I get it from?
How do I do it?

You need to get the update from Orange, on branded phones it is upto the carrier to ask for and issue rom updates.
But since I am sure that Oranges;s license with M$for WM 6.1 has long run out. I am sure it is no longer available.
So at this point any upgrade will have to come by way of the " unlock " and " custom flash " route.

Changes: Updated client for streaming media. New radio version.
Although I cannot get upgrade to start properly, always gives me error 262 at 0%.
Thanks for the update! I've downloaded and will flash the new software in the morning (I want to charge the battery a bit first).
I hope radio is more stable with this software - I've been to Denmark and the UK this week and in both countries call were broken and the phone lost connection with the mobile network (No service and Searching). Same problem that I've had before, even though I have tried changing the sim card. If it wasn't for these problems it would be a great smartphone, but now I find it to be a very crappy phone. Let's see if that changes now!
what's the AKU of the new ROM?
Finally got the update to work, had to do it according to these instructions: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1050547&postcount=6.
OS version is now: 5.1.465 (Build 15673.3.3.1), BUT radio is 1.29.00.10 and not 1.38.00.10 as it says on the ROM package. Can someone confirm this? As I had the 1.32 IU Test version installed previously and although I went first back to 1.30 I didn't check what the Radio version was so I don't know if 1.29 radio is something that was left from the 1.32 version or if 1.34 just has the same radio as 1.32.
1.32 was pretty promising version and I hope this one will be even better. I've had no major issues with these newer versions, although just a few days ago the phone ate the battery from 100% to about 15% in two hours when I was in a movie theater and the phone was not supposed to be doing anything!
I too have problems upgrading - I get error 262 at the beginning of the flashing. When I restart the MTeoR it starts WM as usual, so it seems it hasn't started flashing yet. This happens on two different computers. Any suggestions, please?
Note: I am able to flash 1.30.251.1 with any of the above computers. Only the new 1.34 is a problem. Could the install program be faulty? If so, it is pretty bad considering it is an official release.
New Rom
Hi,
Can you put it on rapidshare of megaupload ???

New Rom
Thanks for putting it on rapidshare.
I found the problem about the 262 error.
Just use a older update program with the new
rom file and everything is OK.
What language include new rom?
I didn't know how to do that , but after having checked a number of threads etc this is what I did:
1. Extracted the files in the exe file RUU_BREE100_1.34.251.1_1.38.00.10_HTCEUR_SHIP using WinRAR.
2. Did the same with RUU_BREE100_1.30.251.1_1.16.00.10_HTCEUR_Ship
3. Removed the nbh file from the 1.30 directory and replaced it with the file from the 1.34 directory.
4. Ran ROMUpgradeUt.exe
It all worked, and I have now upgraded the Rom. Thanks!
jpalo: radio is 1.38.00.10, just as the file name says.
My radio didn't update first time either.
I found I had to use the 1.30 installer and it would only update the second attempt when it was already in the bootloader.
I then used the 1.34 updater and it then updated the radio.
Well I just updated mine and Yippeeee!!!!! Finally I have the EDGE "E" at the top. 'Bout freakin' time. My radio does still say 1.29 but I have noticed that before the update my phone was only on 2 bars, now it's steady on 4. Browsing seems to be much quicker now as well. Time to start reloading and testing.
Try updating with the 1.34 .exe and .nbh once you have managed to get to 1.34 the first time (ie just run the updater direct as you should normally)
My OS is 5.1.465 (Build 15673.3.3.1)
Radio Version is 1.38.00.10
So I guess that would make it AKU 3.3.1
No problems with it so far and have unlocked it to import the Vodafone settings as I would before, now to restart my mission to actually be able to load the UK Vodafone wap sites.
Dl also, and will try it out.

Do you mean you "application" unlocked it? When I tried the old tired and true way of running SDA Unlock tool it tells me it can't be unlocked. I also can't make any registry edits, it won't save my changes and gives an error. What did you use to unlock it? Thx.
I ran the registry editor (same as before), made three registry changes.
Rebooted, ran the unlocker (which is now allowed)
Rebooted again and ran the unlock tool and said my phone was unlocked.
The steps I followed are here:

I had the same problems with my phone really bad. Finally got fed up and sent it for repair.
Got it back about 10 days ago, and haven't had any problem since. I'll wait another week or so before I really give it a clean bill of health.
The fix was quite simple... They replaced the mainboard... So it seems like there really was a hardware problem.

Sent in one last week, same problem, it cuts calls and cant find network and so on.
Royan and BarateaU: please keep me posted!
I'll try to let you know as well if the ROM upgrade solved my problems.
Looks like the 1.34 update has been removed from www.myqtek.fi and www.myqtek.se (although it is still available via some URL tweaking).
Running the ROM update again now succeeded without any 262 errors and radio was also updated to 1.38. Thanks for help.
Hi guys,.. i have been trying to upgrade my P3600 over 2-3 weeks now but i reach the same problem always, and that is simply.... I have managed the RADIO Rom to 1.41.00.111, but when i try to update the operating system.. with... Lvsw 2.0.1.1 / Mary 2.0 / PDAVIET 3.00.07.09 ... everything goes far with the updating.. i can see the progress bar, it reaches 100%, the screen on my mobile goes black... and it says on my computer to follow the info on my mobile and close the update application.
Now at this time my mobile is totally black (shut off i guess)... i have waited for more than 5 minutes but since nothing happens, i have restarted the mobile with a soft rest... but after the rest i still have my OLD operating system....
What am i doing wrong?.... I have read through bunch of threads on the forum, but haven't seen anyone else whom have had this problem.. or is it simply that i should wait even longer time and the mobile should start up by itself?....
Appreciate any help & suggestion...
can anyone help me?...
I've tried to update my HTC3600, by using the "WM6 Official - Any Device" from http://trinityguide.info, and it just doesn't work... I have updated Hard-SPL, and then tried to apply "Official Dopod ROM" ... the only thing it did was to revert my Radio-ROM back to 1.46.xxx (from 1.50.xxx i had before)...
But the OS was never updated to WM6... I have tried a bunch of different WM6 ROMs now during the weekend, nothing has helped... even tried some application to unlock CID (what is it actually ???).
The only thing I've managed is to update my own OS using the official swedish ROM (I've bought my HTC in sweden). And i've been able to update my Radio ROM to 1.46.xxx, 1.50.xxx.. as well as installing different HARD-SPL.
But i've so far not been able to install ANY WM6, or WM5 cooked ROM's .. so pleaaaaaaase help my guides... I'm starting to go nuts over this...
Appreciate any advise & help.. thanks in advance !
Hi all,
I have TYTN II which was bought in duty free and it is not connected to any network.
ROM Version: 1.81.415.4 WWE
ROM Date: 10/29/07
Radio Version: 1.27.15.32
Protocol Version: 22.51.88.13H
Bootloader (TriColor) screen showing following:
KAIS130
SPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8
Serial
Please let me know if i can upgrade my rom to the latest one HTC TyTN II-RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.17.56_Ship.exe
which i downloaded directly from the HTC but without previously upgrading with HardSPL 1?
Thanks
Yes but why
You don't need to install hardSPL to run the HTC official upgrades from an existing official HTC installation. It's a very straightforward process but be aware many people have found the HTC official TyTN II Windows Mobile 6.1 upgraded ROM to offer deteriorated GPS performance with times to get a satellite lock taking significantly longer. I also found the latest WM 6.1 ROM and Radio combination (what you're looking at upgrading to) to contain quite a few bugs that weren't even in the original WM 6.0 ROM. If you upgrade and don't like it, it's not a straightforward process to put it back again (the HTC repair centre reverted my TyTN II) so make sure it's what you really want.
***Edit*** If your new ROM is for a different region eg Europe vs South East Asia, the ROM *may not be accepted either (I've never tried but I know flashing different languages is a definite nono the 'official' way). If the HTC Website offered up this ROM for your serial no, it should flash through ok.
Thank you for prompt answer Flying Kiwi ,
I have to try upgrading ROM to the latest one in order to try fixing problem i am facing described in this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=434884
Now, is it worth trying to upgrade to the latest ROM or my problem is of hardware nature?
Thanks
ROM flashing to fix such an issue not advisable

I've replied to that thread but I strongly suggest you don't go down the path of flashing a new ROM (even if you could) to fix a problem present in the device with an HTC official setup like this. It's time to call HTC and (possibly) send it off for Warranty investigation if you have correctly prepared the desktop PCs first. I'm sure that HTC wouldn't release a ROM which had issues that significant on a device so I'm sure the problem is not with the ROM itself.
gps software upgrade

Hi folks, I have just got a T-Mobile Compact iv after handling a few HTC Touch Diamonds through my company and loving it in comparison with my old Vario 2 (HTC TyTN 1)
As I am on Contract with T-Mobile I have gone for the Compact iv version as it was free to me however Once receiving it I noticed the rom including the TouchFlow is a really really old version compared to what's on the Touch Dimaonds.
I have spoken to T-Mobile and they told me they can't supply a newer version but they have given me full permission to use the one on the HTC Website for the Touch Dimaond and if anything was to go wrong they will still support me.
I have a serial from one of the Diamonds we have here in the company in order to download the rom for my compact but I thought I would check here first as HTC refuse to give me any information as its a T-Mobile branded phone that the rom for the Touch Dimaond is perfectly fine for the UK Compact iv?
Thanks in advance for any information.

Max

A Touch Diamond ROM will work fine on a Compact IV. It´s a T-Mobile branded HTC Touch Diamond with a different cover. Hardware specs are all the same. So there's no reason why it wouldn't work. Just know what you're doing when flashing it. It could go wrong.
Thanks for the reply. I have flashed a few phones including HTC's and Nokias so I am not worried about flashing it, its part of my job being in IT I just wanted to ensure that the rom would work correctly encase there were any slight differences in hardware but I have got an HTC Branded Serial code so I will go ahead and download the rom upgrade
Thanks,

Rom's could be found here to. They are all orignal roms.
See I would do that but as T-Mobile would normally no longer support you if you change roms and they have told me they will but as long as its downloaded from the HTC website I think I am going to be safe this time.
I wouldn't mind trying the 6.5 roms I am very intrested but I think I will wait until I have a spare phone

:-( I tried to use the rom update but it says invalid Vendor ID then restarts my phone. It actually checking and finding I am running T-Mobile. Is there anyway around that?
Regards,
Max
Max, have a read of the wiki and you'll see there are a few things you need to do prior to flashing a new one. The most important one is installing HardSPL - this removes the invalid vendor id probs. Like I say, read the wiki and all will be clear.... if it isn't clear - don't risk it!

Follow this tutorial and it should work. You could take a look here to.
Hi, I had just read all the instructions downloaded and installed the HardSPL from the second link you provided and Installed the orginal version (not the latest on that link as its what it said to try first)
I flashed it ok came back on but the screen is jurky and very slow when it finally finished coming back on it went straight to the customization screen which is normal for a flash but took forever (alot longer than I have seen before) once complete I then re-connected it back up and went to run the HTC Rom upgrade and still says invalid Vendor ID.
Am I undesrtanding this wrong and I need to copy certain files out of the HTC Upgrade and use them along side the files I downloaded with the HardSPL and use a mixture of files to get it working.
Regards.

Did you successfuly flash the HardSPL into your device? You can check this by doing this:
To confirm is Hard-SPL is on your device, manually enter Bootloader by pressing the Volume Down and performing a soft reset at the same time. If successful you will see the tri-colour screen and the following will be displayed
Hard SPL 1.40.Olinex
DIAM100 MFG 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
I've checked what mine said, and this is what I've got back.
DIAM200 64M
SPL-1.93.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
So I guess you need a different HardSPL. Can someone confirm this for me? Checked my own MDA Compact IV map on my laptop and saw to files that I've used for flashing the HardSPL. Used Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip and RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition.zip. Needed to overwrite RUU_Signed.nbh in the map for Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex with the one out of the map from RUU_Signed_1_93OliNex_HSPL_UnsignedEdition. This worked for me then. Added the files for you. So maybe this works for you.
I get:
DIAM200 64M
SPL-1.40.OliNex
MicroP-Diam (LED) v11
Have I done it with the wrong version now then?
I have tried using the files you have supplied and that worked as all the other flash things fail now so let me give it a go now that I have completed with your files.

I guess it had to work. Don't understand why it didn't. Because the HardSPL flash worked for you I don't understand why you stil had the invalid Vendor ID message. I hope my version will work for you.
Well after I did your flash and it finally came back on and finished the customization, the TouchFlo no longer appeared, just got a blank home screen and stayed like that. I have started the HTC Rom upgrade and it is actually flashing this time,
at 19% as I am writing this.
So I will post my results when it has finished.

I really don't have a clue. So the phone is working now with a original HTC Touch Diamond ROM? Very strange that it gave problems. When I flashed a phone (MDA Touch) for the first time it worked for me. When I flashed my MDA Compact IV I didn't have any problems.
Right,
I didn't use the HTC Rom as the last flash it was the one listed a few posts back and it reports:
Rom: 2.03.405.2 WWE
Radio: 1.09.25.23
However I have the following problems and I am not sure they are related:
1: Sometimes on call its crackling
2: Loud speaker is awful and very distorted
3: Internet not working on all programs (just phoned t-mobile and requested internet settings to be resent see if that works)
4: My hang up button doesn't seem to be working once the screen has gone off.
5: Signal seems to be very week.
Any ideas anyone?

Ok I have just spoken to T-mobile and they reckon if I phone HTC they will supply me back with the T-mobile Rom.
But until then as they are shut I might experiment with further flashes to see if I can get it working better because I do want the latest software runs so much smoother but the problems I am currently having I can't live with.
Max.
Ok, hmm I have in theory 'downgraded' the rom now on version
1.93.405.1 WWE downloaded directly from the HTC website radio version 1.00.25.05 and I still have the same problems:
crackling or fuzzing on calls,
the loudspeaker is a bit better quality but still a bit distorted (even at lowest volume)
internet works but for some reason, activesync wont work with our exchange server, msn mess doesnt work, you tube app.
still feels quite warm but thats prob all the flashing I am doing.
The latest HTC rom from their website still gets to 100% then fails and leaves no os on my phone just the bootloader.
One problem fixed the hang up key now works fine.
So I guess its just experimenting with the radio now and get a better signal.
Hi everybody,
im afraid i have killed my german XDA III from o2 (HTC BlueAngel).
I just tried to instal WiMo6.5 on it...but i think it was a mistake, cause it has never seen any update since 2005.
Now im stucked at the 4color screen. It just shows me R 1.10.00. Nothin more...and i could get into the Bootloader by pressing Windows Media + Record.
I already tried to update the Radio to 1.15.00...but it always says the new radio-version isn designed for my XDA III.
So i would try to bring a runnin win2003 back on the XDA III, but i could find any working version of win2003 :-( found a dutch one, but it didnt work...country error...
So i need some help with this...i just dont want to throw it into the garbage :-(
ok, just tried it with the latest version from o2...got a model id error...damn it...
edit:
ok, got the latest version of the o2 ROM...but still noch way to update the Radio to 1.15.00...
ok, sounds like a bad flash, if you can get into bootloader all is not lost, just flash another WinMo onto it, Helmi wm6 is a good one, thats the one i have got.
ok
first after WM5/6/6.1/6.5 upgrade you must perform hard reset like is described here
a lot of shipped roms can be found in my signature - i also have original GER XDAIII roms
for radio and rom upgrade you can use MAUpgradeUT_NOID - also in the page in my signature
