No official WM06 upgrade from HTC

Hiya
Sorry if this was already common knowledge but the article about a WM06 upgrade for the HTC3300 led me to contact HTC it see if one was due soon for the HTC3600 / trinity

The P3600 is an HTC Branded device, they should at least get one consistant answer

Good day for everyione,
I have to say that the d810 update was made by DopDop and not by HTC. That's why there is a WM6 vertion for DopDop.
Best regards,
Dave

DODOP it is the reseller of HTC...
anyway it's like orange who sell the HTC as QTEK9100 if i'm not wrong

No, Orange did not sell the wizard as Qtek 9100. It was sold as SPV M3000.
SPV is Orange's Brand for HTC phones.
That was in the past. In the future, Orange will not personalize HTC phones anymore. They will be sold as HTC, just like the plain unbranded phones.
As far as Dopod and HTC are concerned, I think the problem is different. Obviously Dopod BELONGS to HTC.
That's why there isn't any dopod's support website anymore, and Dopod customers must download their updates directly from HTC website!
So HTC has got the responsibility of the Dopod rom and make the support for it.
SPV roms are downloadable from Orange websites, not from Qtek or HTC one.
HTC gives NO support to SPV (Orange) roms and takes no responsibiliy about them.
You cannot compare the two cases.
HTC is fooling people around, because DOPOD = HTC. It's just that they don't want to give wm6 to Western customers!!

Hi everyone,
I have downloaded the Rom from the HTC Australian website but it will not complete the Rom upgrade on my P3600, I keep getting an error message saying ‘update error’ (Error 286). I have tried the suggested solutions like soft reset and taking out the battery but the error message keeps coming up after several attempts.
Any suggestions?

You should take the SPL/IPL out of that ROM, this is why you can't install it, it is protected to install only on dopod's phones.
You sould, first of all install a hard SPL on your phone to prevent bricking it.

Hello again
Thaanks for your suggestions. if I understaood properly: I deleted the file (SPL.nbh) from the rom folder, i installed the files called hardspl_120.zip) and (Hard-SPL_ZakMcRofl.zip) to my device P3600. but, the error message keeps coming up just as the rom update reaches 28%.
Thanks again

If you still having this kind of problem, it means your device is not CID unlock yet.
The Hard SPL you should install are not those (I don't know which file you are refering to). Check out this Trinty upgrade thread, there should be Hard SPL Olipro or Des available. These are the ones you should install.
I'm afraid the ROM you are trying to install still have some kind of protection too. On this site, you'll find Dopod ROM, without IPL/SPL, try to install that one. this is what I did, and I never had any 28% error.

windows upgrade help

Opal Query regarding ROM, WM6.5 & Manila

Hi Guys,
Being reading this forum for a long time but am still a bit stuck.
Am using HTC Touch ViVa (HTC Opena/HTC T2223) currently with its original WM6.1.
1) I plan to flash to WM6.5 but am totaly confused as to which is the completely working version. Is it V13 or V16 or should I wait for V17?
2) What basically is Manila2D/Manila3D? Which version does Opal has & which would you recommend to install?
3) Can all the themes listed in the "development & hacking" be installed on Opal after/without flashing?
thanks for the replies ppl

recomandation
Hi first I change my rom with 6.5 v16, now I'm looking for a wm 6.1 original rom and I can't find one. My advice is to stick with your wm original rom version. If you can make a copy of it please post the rom on the site i will be very happy if you can do that.

Hi,
Congratulations on your Viva, hope it's working well for you.
1) I'm not into beta flashing, and AFAIK the WM6.5 version is a hacked beta version of the OS, so I don't recommend installing it. Maybe if we wait for the original version to be released by MS, HTC will offer it as a free upgrade.
2) Manila 2D (the one that comes with the Viva) uses tabs instead of a 3D cube (used in Manila 3D on other devices).
M2D is basically a simpler and faster version of M3D, which suits the slower processor of the Viva.
3) I know they can be installed on the original ROM, you should first install and download the M2D Customizer. This program will enable you to skin the M2D on your device, and tweak some of its settings. WM6.5 requires another form of skins, so I think the skins in Development and Hacking are not compatible.
Hope this helps.
Good luck!

thx guys...well I don't suppose the HTC would give away a free upgrade to WM6.5 as they said in engadgets...

I'm not sure about anything, I was just speculating.
Upgrade or hacked, I'm not installing any WM 6.5 ROM until it is officially released by Microsoft.

I undestand. Do you now when is scheduled the official release from Microsoft? I didn't found anything about a date..

Maybe sometime in the 3rd quarter, as stated in the following article:

Forum interest: Dumping HTC TP2 Dutch Rom

Hi guys and rom developers,
Since monday the 15th of june I'm a proud owner of a HTC TP2 smartphone.
This smartphone comes with the dutch version of windows mobile 6.1 professional and it is already sim unlocked (all HTC phones are sim unlocked).
I want to dump the rom+spl+p anything else to help the community to produce a Hard-SPL, cooked roms etc.
I admire the work that Pof has been doing during these years for the xda community and I want to help a bit. I know quite a lot of dumping, flashing, unlocking etc (just by reading the posts and tutorials on xda-dev).
I want to know how many members (including Pof) are interested in rom dump of a HTC TP2 Dutch.
Let me know by posting in the thread or by PM.

ROM dumps are always welcome!
other members with a branded device may want the dump when hardspl is launched....
and chefs might want a dump to look at the OEM goodies inside to incorperate in there next (NL) cooked ROM...
so just dump it!!

Dutch member here too Also interesting in an lite and speedy Dutch (NL) rom

Haha - me too - welcome!

ROM Dump for TP2 and MDA Vario V
As promised
I have extracted the rom from both TP2 and MDA Vario V (T-mobile rebranded TP2).
Both roms are in Dutch, so no WWE.
I have attached also both hardware information and storage map of both devices.
These are the downloadlinks for the roms:
- HTC Touch Pro2 Dutch: http://ecoluxurymarket.com/tp2dutch.rar
- MDA Vario V: http://ecoluxurymarket.com/variov.rar
I have only managed to extract the rom as .raw files. If somebody can convert them to .nbh that would be great.
Let's beging hacking this awesome device

Same here! hup holland hup

Hi
I am very interested to dump the original TP2 onto my VarioV. I am annoid about the Tmobile web 'n walk integration in the Opera browser. I have installed a clean Opera but after a restart it still does the Web 'n Walk part. Therefor I cant wait till one of you guys found a way to dump the rom onto a Vario5.
bye

Ik ben ook Nederlander.
I'm also a dutch-man, I ordered my TP2 at the t-mobile shop. Can't wait to receive it. Also I like to have a fast custom dutch rom with many tools (video players, WMWIFIrouter etc)

Hi @all,
the download link for TP2 rar file is no longer working.
Can the owner fix it?
topsecret, kunnen wij het maaken? ;-)

Downgrade from WM 6.5 to old WM 6.1 (original)???

Hello!
I have a huge problem. I've had some problems with the battery on my HTC TP2 and in service they changed it. The problem is that they made an update to the software to what they call it is the last version: WM 6.5 with HTC Sense. I didn't ask for this and since it was a hardware problem I don't know what happend.
I asked them if they can downgrade to WM 6.1 like it was in the original phone and they said they couldn't do that.
I was wondering if I can get any help here?! Is there a way to find the original WM 6.1 from HTC? They don't have a version for HTC TP2 on their site ... So, how could I solve this problem?
I hate WM 6.5 with Sense because it moves really SLOW! Yes, it has many interesting things but there are a lot of badly made things . This is why I want to erase it from my phone.
Regards,
Laurentiu

http://www.xda-roms.com/
Yes the 6.1 stock roms are there too
cheers

Thank you!
And that is the original ROM??? From HTC? Released especially for this phone???

Well not all off them on that page!
But the ones that start with "RUU_Rhodium_HTC_" are the official ones released for the rhodium (HTC Touch Pro 2) by HTC.
You just need to pick your language or the world wide english(WWE) variant.
In my case i am from the netherlands and would have to choose: RUU_Rhodium_HTC_NLD_1.19.404.1_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe
Cheers
ps. in my signature is one of the best wm 6.1 roms i have ever stumbled upon. If you are not persistant in keeping your phone "official" HTC, i can really recommend that one. Loads of RAM very stable. Beats the stock rom in every way. But you would have to flash your htc touch pro 2 with a non official rom. (check it out at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618063)

Bear in mind that if your phone doesn't have HardSPL, you won't be able to flash most of the official ROMs (there are loads of them), you'll only be able to flash official ROMs designed for your specific model/branding of phone. e.g. I have a Vodafone UK-branded TP2, so without HardSPL, I can only flash Vodafone UK official ROMs, I can't even flash a generic HTC official ROM.
With HardSPL you can flash any ROM you like for your phone (GSM Rhodium), official or "cooked" (custom).

Since i have the "luxury" of an unbranded rhodium, i never had to think about that, but your absolutely right! Sure hope TS has an unbranded model so the choices are not too limited

hi there:
I have the HTC TP2 for Tmobile and I want to go back to wm6.1. there are two versions:
RUU_Rhodium_TMOUS_1.04.531.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.43.25.13_Signed_Test.exe
and
RUU_Rhodium_TMOUS_1.12.531.2_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.17_Signed_Test.exe
which one should I pick?
TIA
