Hi people,
I've got the Vodaphone V1640 and I hate it
My firmware is Rom 1.13.62 WWE
Basically is there a newer version out? Which hopefull fixes the 100's of bugs in the dam thing!
Mark.
Hi Mark (and all)
I hope you dont mind me jumping in here i have an xda exec but i am using a voda sim in it, what sort of problems are you getting?
Im also sorry i cant help with your problem directly (bit new to these things) and seem to be having tons of problems too. Been thinking about getting the voda version today but just seen your post. (rather not waste too much money) :wink:
I believe you can switch your firmware to that of another provider eg o2 Orange i-mate Qtek etc
Search the forums and the Wiki for more info
Is there a chance you can take a photo of the Bootup screen after you do a reset and upload it on here?
Thanks
Can't take a pic, but this was on the bootup screen, with vodaphone logo behind it.
r 1.04.10
g 42.37.P8
d 1. 13.62 WWE
Also I can't get my laptop to recognise the device, it comes up "unknown device" anyone got any drivers? I've got the 2 cd's from Vodaphone but windows xp says there is no drivers on them
Actually it was the Vodafone Logo I was interested in. LOL
It seems to me that you are very new to this whole thing; correct me if I am wrong.
You need to install Activesync 4.x in order to connect the VPA. This should be on the CD they provided you or you can download it at:
http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/...012-8793-D2D180A42DFA&displaylang=en#filelist
Hope that helps

Its a grey logo with the vodafone text and an oulined globe in the background, does that help?
Also I've done the Activsync bit on a few PC's but still get the same error when I connect the device via USB.
"USB Device Not Recognized"
One of the USB devices attached to this computer has malfunctioned, and Windows does not recognize it.
Try to disable antivirus and antispyware priograms before running AcitiveSync. It helped for me.
Hi
I also have a Vodafone V1640 with
rom 1.13.62,
radio 1.04.10
extended rom 1.13.189
Why is there no updates from Vodafone? All the other UK providers seem to have ROMS in the 1.30 range and radio in the 1.09 rane.
If I update the ROM but leave the extended rom will all my Vodafone settings and config be preserved? Is the extended rom the vodafone specific part?
Sorry for so many questions but I have been reading the forum for days now and am getting more confused by the day.
Sorry again one last question! What are the benifits of updating the radio to 1.09? Id this independent to the ROM and Ext Rom?
Thanks in advance
Dave
The Radio Rom is now at 1.11 me thinks. I'm using it and seeing better battery life and 3G reception - please note some people have been reporting the exact opposite lol
Yea, the extended ROM contains the Vodafone Settings......It's specific to each operator
It's possible to switch to ROMs provided by other operators but it voids your warranty (unless you downgrade back to the vodafone ROM, which they don't release for download lol)
cya
I hear on the grape vine that Vodafone are due to release a ROM in the next few weeks..... can anyone on here confirm or deny this?
Oh, still can't connect to my PC I've even tried 2 other PCs.... think mines a dud
Guys
Vodafone HAS released a new ROM (1.30.194). You can download it from
http://s131209249.online.de/vodafone_software/updates/v1640/vf-uk_v1640_aku2_v130194_wwe_ship.exe
I am downloading it now. If successful, I will upload it on xda-developers's FTP site.
Have fun.
does it work ok m8?
Is it the uk version?
Im a little nervous as its a work phone and cant do without it (ie if it knackers it up) but also need to update it to hopefully sort bugs out.
Update
Also does anyone have a USB driver for this phone? It's listed as unknown device on my PC, and their is no drivers on the disk I have, and Activesync 4.1 does not fin it either. I've tried everything, so if anyone has a working driver I would appreciate you uploading it for me
Then I can apply this update
It works!
The Vodafone update does work, but only time will tell regarding the battery life and other tweaks. Despite being on the vodafone.de site it is the standard English version and was specifically recommended to me by Vodafone UK.
Regarding the USB driver issue - there is nothing more that you need, it sounds like you need to scan some threads for debugging USB connectivity. Are you tyring to run through a USB hub? Generally accepted as a bad idea.

Then your NorteBook will Pick up the right driver and install it
Also recommeded you get hold of beta 4.2 of (in)activesync
Cant wait for the Download to Finish !!!!!!
No still not working
Can someone go into the device manager on their PC and tell me the driver they are usings for the USB connection? Is it a vodafone one or a microsoft one? Also the details if you have them, also their might be an *.inf file on your PC, I think I need that
Much appreciated, tearing my hair out here!
When using the USB connection it is not a USB device but a Network Adapter:
Windows Mobile-based Device (# x)
Device type: Network adapaters
Manufacturer: Microsoft Corporation
Driver provider: Microsoft Corporation
Driver date: 28/10/2005
Driver version: 5.1.2600.2781
Driver files:
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\rndismpx.sys
C:\WINDOWS\system32\DRIVERS\usb8023x.sys
This stuff should be installing from your ActiveSync 4.1 or 4.2beta.
Hope this helps!
Hi.
I am trying to upgrade to WM6 and the updater fails at the position before starting the flash.
The phone's screen is off, and the ActiveSync session fails.
After some search I found out that the problem is caused from EnterBootloader.exe, which just shuts down the screen instead of putting the phone to BL.
I tried putting the phone to BL, and then the RUU_ executable can't connect to it when the phone is connected through USB, no matter the ActiveSync option (allow or not allow USB connections)
What to do ?
Thanks a lot
Michael.
Do you have an original WM5 ROM loaded, or a cooked one?
Also, which SPL are you running?
Manually put the phone into the bootloader by holding the ok button on the left side of the phone, the power button on the right and putting the stylus in the soft reset button on the bottom.
edit: i guess you've already tried this
Normal original wm5, haven't touched the phone with upgrades until now.
I know how to put the phone to bootloader mode, but then the ruu upgrade can't connect to it.
SPL 1.06

To see what? This message is present since the links to the ftp site are online, its more or less "self-defense" or limitation of damage.
If you sign in to the e-Club there's nothing in the "my downloads" section.
When I sign in to e-club, it has the download.
But I know your issue, I am sure they will fix it soon.

i red this link already my friend but im not sure that i really understand the procedure in upgrading thats why im asking for the help of anybody who knows universal because it also iunclude in the link the procedure in upgrading wizard its very confusing for me.
thanks to your reply!
I have to agree with Andrei here, the doc is not very enlightening,
from what I have read there are a few things missing.
For example I don't know if I have to "unlock" my phone. I bought it on ebay they said it was unlocked, the phone was not available in USA&Canada they imported it somehow from Europe (it's an MDA Pro). I beleive it is unlocked already but ...some users here say "completly unlock your phone" ...which means...there are some other partial "unlocks" ???
The Wiki procedure says you have to backup your files...It is har to beleive that there is no standard reliable software that can be included and mentioned in this procedure. This is an important step and if anything goes wrong you must be able to find your way back to at least what you had had before you did the upgrade.
As for "the search button" ...I have tried that and ...)) the same results tons of answers ...you need years to read and to process all that info.
Guys,
After Having Device only for few days to upgrade may not be advisable. Therefore I suggest you to take few days to get to know your device and read more info.
REgarding the "Locked Device" means you would only able to use the device with the SIM of the Orginal carrier. As you already using the device in other country and other service provider..I guess you device is UNLOCKED.
Anyhow I will try to short describe how to upgrade goes.
1) Make sure you get the orginal OS of your device first. anything goes wrong you can flash back to that OS.
2) make sure you backup your personal files from the device( files;PIM;etc.etc)
3) make sure you have bootloader higher then V1.0
4) make sure you have full charged Battery
5) Remember that in cooked WM6 the vidoe call doesnt function anymore!!!
6) Download a cooked ROM available here in the Universal forum. ( the New ROM of Tomal V8.5 is great one)
7) I.E Tomals ROM file has got everything you need to Flash your device
8) Anything else is clearly descriebed in the WIKI "READ IT carefully"
Good Luck.. dont blame if anything goes wrong

Aparently if your PDA is seen by UNI_ExitBootloader.exe that means the reboot command is executed then you should be OK. But....I tried that and I had to try it twice, the first time didn't work.
So...apparently I will have to try to bootloder upgrade and after that burn the new ROM.
I still need a way to save the old one.
BTW, in what circumstances can yu damage your phone up to the point where you can not reflash it or use it anymore ?
nad one more question, will the phone work (calling and receiving calls) if the software is gone ? I believe it will not but...what do I know ? )
I'm also not totally clear on the instruction. Though they seem to be complete the style their written in leaves some questions.
If I have a G4 then is the file "HTC_Uni_SIM_Unlock_v1.rar" at ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/Tools_and_Programs/ is what is needed to unlock CID/EROM locks in preparation for ROM flashing?
Or is SIM unlocking totally different from the unlocking were talking about?
Thank you vary much!

1)I have no Vista therefore I cnt give you much info and that but I have read alot of issues with it. Therefore I suggest you to read more on how to upgrade in Vista.
2) I personally dont use any Backup Software. I syc. My Device with my desktop and M$ Outlook. Any Info that I have with contacts,Appointments,Task even My Documents folder and files. Those will be available on my Desktop and after upgrade you can Sync. them to you Device with new ROM
3) If you have BL 1.0 which means you should have G3 device then I believe you can use the JASJAR_BL1.01_RUU_v1.2.exe ???I have an MDA Pro.
4) UPGRADE in XP....YOU NEED TO CHECK HOW IS IT IN VISTA
4.1) Download Tomals ROM which comes in package like:TML_v85_WM61_20764_ST.exe (that is the standard OS).
4.2) Put your device in boot loader mode with button Comb. >power B + Back light B + Push the reset B <with stylus until you see on the screen the Boot loader Screen. Connect Device to your Computer.
4.3) Start the TML_v85_WM61_20764_ST.exe with double click and the installation will start.
4.4) follow the screen instruction.
4.5) After completing the upgrade Disconnect the Device from the Computer.
4.6) Push button comb. >push left soft key B + push right soft B + Push with stylus the reset B< untill you see message on the screen ....Push "0 (nill)" to set device to factory setting or something..
Well then you should be fine and completed your upgrade. AGAIN CHECK THE UPGRADE WITH VISTA.. I have no experience with Vista.

I am happy now excepting that I don't know if I need to instal RealVGA or that is included. I belive it is not.
I will try tomorrow.

The realVGA is not included in the Tomals ROM. you need to download it separately.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830)
I am not that young anymore and therefore I found my self having issues with the RealVGA. 128DPI is nice but you need good eyes. 96DPI is not usable I would say
Hey guys, I have an Excalibur that gets stuck on the TMobile splash screen when you try to turn the device on.
I've tried doing a hard reset, but I still end up with the same problem. I can get the phone into the bootloader mode (green, blue red) but everything I've searched around (read the wiki, tried google, youtube, etc.) says that I need to be connected to ActiveSync in order to flash a rom onto it.
Is there any way to flash this thing while in bootloader mode or am I screwed?
Thanks!!
Stickys, official roms & hard-reset bootloader.
Thanks for the quick response, Stylez!
I've read the "hard reset and bootloader" post, which is how I learned to put the device in bootloader mode (thanks to you!)
I've also downloaded the necessary ROM file and loader from the other sticky you mentioned. (I did read and search on my own before asking)
But when I try to run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe it tells me to connect the device to activesync which I can't really do because it's in Bootloader mode and WindowsMobile Device Center says it's not connected.
Try this.
Did you SDA and Surreal unlocked your cell prior to flashing?
If not, do so. You can find both files in the Wiki or in one of the stickies I am sure.
SDA Unlock it from desktop, reboot, Surreal, drag it in the device, install it, once installed... go to the ROM you chose and run the AUTO file, not RUU... you should follow the instructions of when to click on and the center button on the device, now, (this might occur) I know it does make the sound of restarting and when you load the ROM say v1.7a Ricky and Styles RoseROM, it won't go over 3% saying it can't find the device... just click on the RUU this time, and I bet you that this time it will find the device and load it. Try it and let me know.
When I run the SDA Unlock, the button remains greyed out because it doesn't recognize the device is connected to the computer. Is it supposed to even though it's on the bootloader screen?
The white bootloader screen is only needed when you flash a new ROM into it. You need to connect the device NOT in bootloader but just as is when turned on normally so that the ActiveSync will recognize it.
Same thing for Surreal, you just drag it in the phone and install it as you would install any .cab.

Thanks, but unfortunately I can't get this thing to boot past the T-Mobile splash screen. Is there no way to flash it without Activesync?
Also, I'm in the Red/Green/Blue bootloader (hold the camera button and attach USB cable) not the White one.
So, you are running the T-Mobile flash, yet you can't go past the initial screen? Did you just get it like this or did you flash it before... ???
Did you try to run USPL CID BYPASS? It might get it into white bootloader mode, just assuming. If not, then do as I suggested, when it says it doesn't find the device, re-run the RUU. As posted above.
I got the phone like this from a friend. So, who knows what could be wrong with it.
The bootloader screen says it's running 1.22.0000 and as far as I know, it's the default TMobile rom.
It won't get passed the T-Mobile initial screen. It will just turn back off after a few minutes. I can get it into the Bootloader mode as mentioned before, so I assumed I'd be able to flash it to fix whatever is preventing it from booting fully.
It seems, however, that something more severe may be wrong with the phone if the computer can't register that it's connected which prevents me from running any kind of CID BYPASS programs or SDA Unlock utilities.
Any other suggestions?
I am gonna think about it, but hopefully the more expert in here will help you sooner. I personally think your buddy messed up while flashing or something. Because if he did not, then he can just send it back and get another one from T-Mo. Plus, not being there to see makes things a bit more complicated this once.
Are you even connected to ActiveSync when in bootloader mode? I don't mean you, I mean in general.
And btw, did you try to do what I suggested you?
Connect the phone, get it in bootloader, try to flash the T-Mo ROM and clickon AUTO.bat, an image is on the guide with pics sticky thread in here... that should open and ms-dos thing, even if it opens the loader and doesn't go over 3%, this time... click on the RUU icon.. it worked for me last night and for the T-Mo ROM you shouldn't need any sda or surreal stuff. Try it...
You can get the T-Mo ROM from their web-site or here too.
I know you can go on youtube and look up upgrade to kavana, there is a guy who has it for download. Thing is T-Mo asks you for a cell number to verify you are the owner of the phone so you might have to insert your friend's number.

No, while in bootloader and connected via USB, ActiveSync (WindowsMobile Device Center in Vista) says that there is no device connected.

I tried this step, however, when the DOS box opens, it tells me it cannot find the phone and asks to try again. I do this repeatedly and get nothing. I also tried clicking NO on the retry, but nothing.

Tried that too, I actually have T-Mobile so I put in my own number. I ended up with the same error message about not finding a phone. Is it supposed to find the phone when connected in Bootloader mode?
Thanks for your help, btw
Thanks for explaining that. I think you might have yourself a bit of a problem.
I'll ponder on it and let you know. Can't you return it in exchange for another Dash?
What ROM are you trying to flash? I would recommend that you go to T-Mobile.com/wmupgrade and download the current Officially Dash ROM and recover the device that way. If you do not have a T-Mobile phone number, I can get you one that you may use to access the download page.
Once you reflash the official rom I recommend you do the CID unlock and flash a 6.1

I recommend reading the thread before posting. All you proposed I already mentioned and he answered. Look above...
I Just got this phone today, and the software version is 1.19.707.1 Singapore or Asia WWE I think so. I have read that this phone cant be updated?
What can I do If someone can give me the links to upgrade or any conclusive info on this software and phone. I see most people are on 1.29 and this is way ahead of what I have with 1.19.707.1
Other than being on this outdated software the phone seems to operate really good other than battery life, which is why I want to update the phone. I have been using it all day and nothing seems wrong as of yet? I didn't do any extensive testing just using everyday apps, so far no flicker or build quality issues that Ive noticed. It was made in China at least that's what it says on my IMIE information paper but on the back of the booklets say made in Malaysia.
Anyways any help would be appreciated if this is a non-updatable version why would Negri sell this phone, if so I'm pissed!
I just need a lead I have flashed a lot of Tablets and Sammy phones in my time but HTC is new to me. Any help would be really appreciated. Maybe someone can help me out here I did a search and read some pages and other people have had the same problem, but really didn't address how to update, when they updated they said it messed their phone up, something about 0% battery after they updated? So I'm really confused now on what to do. Once again thanks for any help in advance.
Might be lucky and have S off.
Yeah I wish, Even though I really don't know what S-Off is but I've been reading about it, full control of your phone, right? Sounds Like a more advanced version of SuperUser. This is my first phone other than Samsung.
Hold down power and both volume plus and minus at the same time and have a look. Only s off I have seen was a 1.19 software
Ive been reading is there any way out of this software or am I stuck because I'm pretty pissed right now. I've been up all night and it doesn't seem to be a solution!!!! My phone is completely stock. No S-Off by the way. I'm really PISSED OFF right now I guess there's no way to get out of this software version, unless I'm in Asia!!! They already have newer versions out in Asia I think 1.28.xxx and I'm stuck on 1.19.707.1 pre-release. So what now either send it back to Negri for a refurbish because of their return policy sucks, or can I even put root on this phone I read somewhere that I cant even root it, It will say that I have 0% battery life? I don't know but I'm mad as hell. How are they sending out phones with software that is beta - pre released? Someone on here who knows HTC devices get me out of this mess. This aint a good first experience with HTC phones........
EDIT
Ok I finally found some info I guess I can flash this RUU_ENDEAVOR_U_ICS_40_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.28.707.10_Radio_1.1204.103.14_release_257076_signed.exe ---- I have a CID_40 Unit Stock no mods I hear its Singapore, but that file will work, I guess. The only thing is I don't know how to flash this file? Can any help, send me to a guide or link on how to flash these? I tried it while the phone was on in usb debug mode didn't work it gave error 107 I think.
No one else has had this issue? I might send this phone back...... I don't want to stay on the very first release of software, etc. forever. This phone is excellent in every other way no flaws at all. This is the last thing I was worried about before it arrived. I've been up all night trying to figure this out.
Yes same issue!! please let me know what you did. Driving me nuts. considering rooting and installing custom rom but would rather not if possible.
Anyone else?
would a factory reset help kick a update into gear?
lost.

If you have the RUU, just plug the phone in (do nothing special) and run the RUU from your pc. It'll do the rest for you. Once you're udated with the RUU you should see OTA's flow normally.

Edit - I also found the RUU to work from fastboot as well. Hold Vol- when turning on phone, then use vol buttons to pick fastboot and power to select. Plug into computer and you should see it change to "fastboot usb". Then run the RUU on your pc.

This is what I did put ruu_endeavor_u_ics_40_htc_asia_wwe_1.26.707.4_radio_1.1204.90.13_release_252708_signed.exe on your PC put phone in fastboot mode run the RUU on PC and it will flash and update you. After you get that on your phone you will instantly get a message saying you have another OTA update in you status pull down bar, that will update you to 1.28.707.10. You will also need the drivers from HTCdev to run the file, I'm pretty sure.

Why use the 1.26 RUU when the 1.28 one is available? Makes no sense...
