Sorry for asking such fundamental questions but i am new to this site...
I have a Orange SPV M2000 (Blue Angel)
Can I ugrade the rom on this, what will the upgraded rom give me that i dont already have and how do i do this ?
I have looked at the rom pages and can not seam to find an Orange rom, does this matter ?
Sorry if these are basic questions, thank you for your time.
I also have a m2000, was wondering if it would be ok to install the new 1.4 asia O2 rom???
Mainly want it for WMP10 due to the streaming video etc.
Have red some mixed reports about the new rom, is it actually better than 1.31???
ive upgraded my m2000 using the wiki
im basically running the imate roms as im unsure on how to play with the extended rom.
everything went fine without a hitch!
I have an orange SPV M2000, I have successfully upgraded to Rom 1.40 with Radio Rom 1.13
I am a bit of an old hand doing this as i have had a pocket pc since the inception of a ipaq 3630 many moons ago.
What you ask do you get with the updates? well the main reason for upgrading is the increased reliability. far less soft reboots due to lockups.
and a nicer interface with WM10 especially since i have a media center PC and i can automatically synch my recorded TV to the device
anyone needs help with upgrade you can msn me at stuart b ***NOSPAM***@broadbandtap.co.uk
I can't download MaUpgradeUt_noID.ZIP ?????
HELP?
Since 3 days I am a proud owner of a Dopod 838. But the fun started right after the first trials. In the mean time I ahve the 3rd device (the first two pda's whare running terrible and the dealer in Thailand replaces them). Now with the last one at least I can work a little. Still remaining the following strange issues:
1. Reboot it's self at least 20 times a day
2. Pick up phone calls by it's self (settings checked!)
3. Installation of some software (even WM5 ready sw) blocks the device at welcome screen. Onnly hard reset can help. In the mean time i have hard reset my device maybe 30 times It's great fun. Anyone have any idea or may an new rom version? :evil: I was a user of a XdA IIs and wish back this well working device
i also use dopod 838,
and i got a problem with synchornize with AS 4.1
it's very slow and some time the device is hang,
so i mus't reset the dopod..
anyway, anyone know how increse storage / program memory,
cause in WM2005 we can't control this memory manualy
Dopod 838
I have purchased Dopod 838 English Version for 2 weeks. It works perfect without any hard reset or self reboot problem. It was a very good PDA phone commented in Hong Kong. There was a low return rate as heard in HK.
What is the ROM version using now?
I do not see Dopod will release updated ROM soon. Pls bring back the machine to dealer for repair or checking.

Re: Dopod 838
First boot was a long time (2-3 minutes).

hi guy, my dopod 838 got one problem like this. And this is very irritating me.
When every time i keep my dopod in my ori case by dopod and take out, the screen of the handphone rotate from portait to landscape. And it is like happen 4 out of 5 times when every time i take in and out from my case. I find out it is the magnet at the case that trigger the action. Is u guy face the problem also? Or only mine have this problem?
Can email me?
Other that this problem, i find no other problem, but only great to have this phone!!

I am using Dopod 838 with latest i-Mate ROM (2.16.x.x) with no problem. It is wrong assumption to say you need to use Dopod's GSM. None of any Wizard OEM have any difference in terms of hardware except casing. You can use any of these firmwares provided that you did upgrade properly.
Throw away Dopod original firmware, its a great tool to send your unit to junk bin. After you have used the latest i-mate/qtek firmware, you will notice how terrible it was with the original dopod.
I have been with my dopod 838 for 2months, and happy with it. My dopod838 was Chinese language and after update ROM (Custom ROM form Button) it run smoothly.

I used to have the same problem -
The problem is the magnet on the F*@%en case that comes with the Dopod - just use a nother case

The original ROM came with my Dopod 838 (English version) was crappy in every way. My Dopod 838 became much better in every application and every way after the ROM upgrade. I think it's more than a high recommendation. It is literally a must. Just my 2 cents.
dopod 838 pro
my dopod 838 pro has a problem regarding sending and receiving messages or even calling.. i think it has something to do with the regional setting coz that's the only thing that i had change on the settings... please help..
Well Ive got my mum a new Compact 4 on her Tmobile contract.
I have a few questions before i make any changes to it.
I dont want to void the warranty so sadly i cant flash it with the latest HTC firmware.
I did notice this C4 is using fairly old firmware...
Rom 1.37
Radio .03
Is this unusual? I can imagine once the phones out Tmobile wont supply anymore development for the rom updates. Or even pass on the HTC roms.
And as for Advanced config and the Diamond Toughflo config. Can they be installed on the C4 and change the touchflow background?
At the moment the phone seems to work perfectly fine. So for now the out of date rom isnt really an issue. But i would love to get rid of the pink and keep the warranty at the same time.
Touchflo config and advanced config will work fine on the compact 4, and as you're on the 1.37 rom you wont have any problems loading touchflo themes.
I don't know if there's an official t-mob 1.93 rom out (I havent seen it mentioned on here so I dont think there is). You could go for one of the custom roms but you'd need to hardspl it and you would invalidate the warranty.
I upgraded to the official orange 1.93 rom and haven't really noticed any significant improvements (a few minor things, no major speed increases etc..).
So, if it was my phone, I'd stick with the 1.37 rom and go for a custom theme
Thanks m8
Oh and where can i find Youtube app?
I didn't know t-mob removed it :O
Anyway, you can find it here:

Check this out, HTC today released an updated ROM for HTC S730!
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=47&cat=2&dl_id=407
This ROM only seems to fix one bug
"
Improved 3G network performance
Sometimes the network signal strength may show good reception but its not possible to call out or receive any phone calls.
"
Where is the official WM 6.1 upgrade?
Would be better if they had upgraded it to WM6.1, but at least they are showing some kind of support....
seems they have fixed a non existing problem. (if you would ask me)
How about memory problem? Video driver absense?
gr. Rob
same here. Never had this problem with any rom.
Disappointing.
can anyone upload the Official HTC ROM please!!?!?
is there anyone out who tried this ROM ? brings it improvements about memory-management ? my Wings cannot start Navigon Mobile Navigator because of too few memory.
many thx, Andi

Hi
There isn't coming any 6.1 update for this phone. On the swedish site www.mobil.se there was a couple of weeks ago a chat with Christer Högström from HTC.
I asked him when the 6.1 update was to be released and the answer in swedish was:
"Det var planerat att uppgrader S730 till Wm6.1 men med den minnes kapasitet som finns på produkten blev det lite svårt att ge kunden en bra upplevelse. Där emot kommer vi med en Standard uppdatering till S730 om ca 2 veckor som förbättrar radio stabiliteten."
Quick translation: It was planed to upgrade s730 to WM 6.1 but with the memory capacity on the product it became hard to give the user a decent user experience. But we will come with a standard update that will improve radio stability.
Heres is the chat: http://www.mobil.se/ArticlePages/200810/28/20081028094638_MOB813/20081028094638_MOB813.dbp.asp
Sorry guys!
Only radioversion changed?
Same experience with RAM here. Seems to me they only changed the radioversion and left the ROM unchanged.. Or am I wrong to expect the ROM version being changed when updated?
Seems like the battery-life however is a little extended as far as I can tell from a single day of light/medium usage.
"It was planed to upgrade s730 to WM 6.1 but with the memory capacity on the product it became hard to give the user a decent user experience. But we will come with a standard update that will improve radio stability."
@gnuda: thanks dude. A question obviusly comes out now: "why the memory capacity of S730 is so lacking?" and ofcourse, "why the same memory capacity for S710 is not so lacking?"
hi all how can i get update rom on x02ht i used the rom from wiki but i always get error 207 i tried using xp same thing error 207 update error file currupted

bad news - but thank you for answer. its crazy - my old MTeoR had less RAM and all programms worked perfektly
so, the only changed in this update is radio huh?
for me, at least, the settings screens have changed slightly. seems also to fix the problem it describes with the 3G
No update available on dutch HTC-site
Hi all,
There is still no sign of any Rom-update on the dutch HTC-site...
Maybe they are prepairing it, because the tabs on the site are changed recently..but besides that they only offer some fancy ringtones up till now.
My wings (S730) suffers from the described 3G-problem, is it save to use the UK-version and am i able to change the language/settings to dutch after updating?
My radioversion shows 1.58.17.02 now..
can anyone extract the radio so we could _at_least_ take the benefit of this crappy upgrade?

You can download the upgrade from the worldwide-website (or Europe) and when you've upgraded your device change the language back to Nederlands. Your radioversion will then be 1.60.43.19. It works for me (Dutch too).
Btw I recieved an email from HTC yesterday in which someone from HTC Europe mentioned that a 6.1 ROM upgrade should be available for downloading on the HTC-website that should solve the issue with my pda
Assuming one's talking about the RAM memory-leakage-issue that I emailed them about some time earlier this year, it's a bit of a strange email.
Probably they prefer to the radioversion upgrade which isn't solving the memory-leakage at all.
I'm still wondering what issue this upgrade should address.. afaik anyone in this room has ever suffered issue this update pretend to solve.
at least for me it gives much longer batterylife on 3g networks..
I don't know if that is what it was suppose to fix though :=)
Actually it did solve a lot of things for me. The main problem was that i could not receive/make calls whatsoever. I know due to Vodafone sms that i receive that i missed a call, but phone didnt register, and i couldnt make calls sometimes as well. As far i know it fixed the issue, also the battery life i would too think its better, but still needs to be checked further. Now if somebody could integrate new rom to WM 6.1 it would be awesome.

Thanks Nightcrow,
I've tried to download the update, no luck so far because "service unavailable temporarly due to maintenance" on both the Europe and the UK-site
Up to now i've missed a lot of calls due to very low signals on 3G, when i switch back to normal GSM-mode i always have full signal but of course my data connection is limited to GPRS then..
Edit: I just succeeded in downloading and upgrading..the whole weekend i was trying to, but it was a stupid mistake of me (i've included the extra D in my serialnumber, and it was not recognised..)
I have just purchased off ebay this extreemly good phone, I was sick of my nokia e71 and fancied a change, I missed the touch screen of phones ive had in the past.
Question for everyone the firmware seems a little buggy and ive checked on htc;s website but any upgrades wont work with my serial number (the phone is original htc but with 3 software on it)
Does anyone else have this problem with their 3 mobile and has anyone on 3 upgraded the firmware to one of the 6.5 versions available and if so does all the settings still work after the upgrade.
Ive upgraded my last wm phone so im ok at doing it but what I dont want is to lose all settings and not be able to access the internet etc ..
cheers in advance - good to be back on xda site ... never again will I buy a nokia !!!

cheers and thanks for the swift response
chris
You may be able to find an original 3 rom someplace ( there isn't one in the wiki ) or you can dump your own rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680
But once you hardspl your phone to flash a custom rom, you will be able to flash anyone's stock rom, Vodaphone,Orange, T-Mobile...........

The Radio effects signal/gps fix/battery life and the outcome of which is best is very much varied by location.
The STICKY in ROM Development holds alot of valuable info from how to flash to Radios etc.
I have the Kaiser on 3. I have changed the ROM several times and the radio once. I have found that the signal is better on the radio I am using and the ROM's are brilliant. WM6.5 is great, just waiting for a stable wm6.5 with the new m2d v2 installed.
Wack one on and have some fun, just hardspl it first.

Yes will hard spl it ..... which radio did you put on ?
I did on my original tytn without the keyboard (cant remember the name of it) some of the roms I didnt like but always was rest assured that I could change the rom without risk cos of hard spl ...
which rom would you suggest ? do they have the connections setup on it so that I can set up sm/mms/internet access im not that bothered about planet 3 but need internet ...
im gonna risk rom upgrade cos the one ive got is horrendous , ive reset it several times ......
just wanna know which one you suggest ,....
Kaiser / Tytn II on Three
Hi
I picked up an Orange TytnII off ebay and after putting hard SPL on I have been using many roms fine on three UK
My favourite is this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715
although be sure to check out many of the other excellent roms on here, there is some real talented chef's, I also like the PDA corner roms
Regarding stock I used an orange UK stock rom that also changed the radio, read the instructions well on here as you'll want to make sure you hard reset, stock rom, stock radio, hard reset then 6.5 then radio then another hard reset just to make sure you clear everything.
Regarding radio you can try many different ones, again read the posts you'll find some just don't allow you to make / receive calls if they're not in line with the rom.
I think I have my current setup in my signature.
Also be sure to check out the posts with the iskoot client configured for three's free skype access, getting free MSN is a bit trickier and to be honest the java client is a bit flaky for my liking so I just use it out of my allowance !
pm me if you get stuck
Damian
I have been using this rom, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=507281, found it to be very good.
The radio I have been using is 1710901 but you will have to try a few and see which one is the best for you.
Blinky
just to clarify
so the radio doesnt matter to the mobile phone supplier ..... as long as the radio and new firmware works together it will work on 3 .... ?
ive found a possible firmware but the radio has to be different so its gonna be both upgraded ... im just concerned as 3 software is so tied down that i dont wanna have a non working phone
ive upgraded before on a previous htc phone but didnt have to do radio upgrades .....

I too have an unlocked Orange Tytn II I got on orange contract and unlocked on day 1. Gave Orange sim to the missus and jumped over to three.
I have used a numbe of roms and radios, but currently use Shifu 19 WWE with radio 1.70.19.09. Works perfectly.
I reckon 3 is the perfect network in the UK for Tytn II as PAYG internet allowances are very good.
Its not as tied down as you think. I have the ISkoot WM client running using 3 connections for free calls etc and also SkypeManager running on home PC to get 100% free calls to all uk landlines too. Google SkypeManager.
Have fun!
success
well took the plunge this afternoon and hard spl'd, upgraded rom and radio how easy was that ... finally got a phone that doesnt crash and everything works superb ... settled for stylez black wwe with radio 1.70.19.09
superb thanks for all your help - very happy kaiser owner !!! ....
now I know how easy the process is im sure my firmware will change regularly all you rom makers superb keep up the good work
Dont forget to do the N95 spoof to get free MSN live usage on 3 network.
Ive been on 3 for a while now and think its great, signal isnt allways good where i live though, but what can you expect living at the bottom of the uk.
