(PS. Admins, I thought I would start a new thread for this as the old one is up to about 35 pages)
FAQ:
====
Q1: Is This the ANZ Version or the SEA Version:
A1: This seems to be the ANZ version as it is from the ANZ site and the description of the HTC download site is: "D810 WM6 GPS Enabled ROM code for Hutchison ‘3’ and Optus network – version 3.00.707.18"
Q2: I'm having trouble downloading off the HTC link, what should I do?
A2: There is a rapidshare link above, try that. If you are still having trouble PM me.
Q3: What is the difference between this version and the one released a couple of weeks ago?
A3: This is two minor revisions later - This previous release was 3.00.707.16. this is 18. Hopefully this fixed the problem some people were having with upgrading getting stuck at ~30%. EDIT: So far several people are still having this problem.
Q4: Does this ROM fix the TomTom bug involving the device code changing on each hard reset?
A4: According to a post on page 2 it does!
Q5: Is there a new SEA release?
A5: It appears HTC have re-released the same SEA rom with a new date. This seems to make sense as the problem with the original rom was partially related the 3 Australia.
Q6: Will this rom work on devices other than once branded as Dopod d810?
A6: It should, although you will need to remove the service provider lock (SPL) from your device first. Further information can be found here (do some searching and research prior to using this):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299659&highlight=hard-spl
Q7: What is the deal with the languages?
A7: This is the World Wide English (WWE) edition which basically means it is in english. You can install this over a device which is in another language however you device will then be in english.
Q8: Will installing Hard-SPL (see Q6) void my warranty?
A8: Short answer is yet. However, you should be able to switch back to your original firmware etc prior to sending the device in for a warranty repair so you should be able to fool them.
Q9: Does this rom come with office and acrobat etc?
A9: It comes with Acrobat Reader LE and Office.
Q10: Can I read office 2007 files on my PDA with this ROM:
A10: Yes, you need this file:

Note, the link on the original post is dead, have a look at this post for the link:

Thats all for now folks.
Oh yeah, shameless plug... If you need a theme for your windows mobile device (WM5 or WM6) please visit my website http://www.wm6themes.com You can also request a personalized theme on the site completely free (just upload an image and I'll create a theme for you)!
Work on HTC P3600?
I'm gonna be upgrading my Wizard w/ Faria WM6 on it to a P3600.
Anyone know if this ROM will work on the HTC P3600?
I'm assuming it will as my Wizard is a Qtek and the ROM is from HTC.
Any help would be great.
Thanks

I'm pretty sure it will work if your phone is SP unlocked. (Can't tell you 100% though)
A Rapidshare link has now been added for anyone having trouble with the dopod link. Rapidshare link is located in the original post.
Is this the SEA or ANZ version?
Not sure which it is. I got if off the ANZ site so I assume either they've unified them or it is ANZ.
EDIT: Just copied this of the dopod site so I assume it is ANZ - "D810 WM6 GPS Enabled ROM code for Hutchison ‘3’ and Optus network – version 3.00.707.18"
EDIT2: If anyone does have links to the SEA version please post it here and I will add it to the initial post.

This is a repost of ANZ Rom, with radio shipped on ANZ before and some minor change in the OS, probably a bugfix.
Main Changes:
in Application, OEMAPPS
StreamingPlayer
VideoStub
Streaming Video is now called Streaming Media
DLL
In OEMAPPS
Rtsphandler.dll
in OEMDRIVERS
rilgsm.dll
wavedev.dll
Removed CommManagerRes_dll.cab
All the other files seem to be the same: there are 1175 different files but as to me it is due to a new packaging.
The most interesting part, except streaming media, are the two new drivers rilgsm.dll and wavedev.dll
I'm trying to install these different files on my device... wavedev.dll seem to have cause my trinity to stuck at the animated boot screen with sound (a personal hack in the registry). After a soft reset the animated boot screen has been disabled. Rilgms.dll should be related to radio search and roaming switching, and probably is installed to support the new radio shipped. I've radio 1.46.00.11 and can't turn on the phone anymore
All the above is a mine investigation, if you think I'm wrong you can correct me. I'm open to learn more...

No, just trying to update my lasagna by hand, but it doesn't work.
To see the differences Ive extracted the two roms and made a binary compare between files..
PS: After removing these two dlls my animated splash worked again and my phone too...
Ciao
Is there also a new SEA version. I don't have a Dopod device so my P3600 EMEI does not allow a download.

No, i din't made the update and you don't need to remove any dll.
If you want you can install it, if your device id supercid. But probably you will not found any difference from the one you are using, apart from streaming media that i've never used...
Ciao e buonanotte, mi è passata la sbronza e vado a letto...
I cannot find a new SEA rom. They changed the ROM date in the website - D810 WM6 English Version Upgrade code (2007/07/10), but if you try to download it goes to the same file - D810_SEA_WM6_Upgrade_20070709 - released before.
Fixes TomTom bug and works on UK Orange SPV M700
Hi all,
Having installed this ROM last night, I just thought I would let you all know the following:-
1. It FIXES the TomTom bug/incompatability whereby the Device Code keeps changing each time you Hard Reset! For me, this is *the* MOST important fix.
2. It works perfectly on the UK Orange SPV M700 version of the Trinity. In fact, there is no need for SuperCID or any of that lark, just unlock the phone from Orange (using the sticky thread in the Trinity Upgrading forum) and away you go. My advice is to press the Reset button right at the end of the initial date/time/screen alignment setup to stop it installing the Extended ROM.
3. This is the ANZ (Aus/NZ) version of the ROM, but it IS WWE (World Wide English)
I've only been running it and using for a few hours, but currently, all seems good. Definitely worth trying I'd say.
Regards, Moz.
I've tried it several times now, but somehow can't get past the 28% mark.
Tried all the unlock tricks...
Somebody a suggestion ?

After this step you can flash the "NEW Dopod d810 WM6 ROM" without the 28% error.
I got several questions:
1. Can I also install it on a P3600 with German language (I know that it is in English then, but that´s better anyway)?
2. My Triny is not branded (bought from Amazon). This won´t be a problem?
3. Is it branded then, because it´s a Dopod Version?
4. Can I still install German programs like the German Tom Tom or Langenscheidt Dictionaries or do I need new versions for WM6 and/or the English BS?
5. Is a English PDA compatible with German Outlook
6. Is also Office Mobile, Acrobat etc. onboard?
7. Will I loose my guarantee?
8. Can I go back to the official German WM5 in case of Problems?
9. Can I use this Update straight from my Vista PC or do I also need to change some dll´s?
10. Are any functions like European 3G etc. disabled, when installing this Australian version?
11. When the update stucks at a certain %, can I still update the other rom to use this update later or do I have a problem then?
Please, forgive me that I post so many questions.
Thank you so much for your answers.
Ok i removed ipl and spl from this rom , changed spash screens and flashed with customRUU.
Working fine so far.

Hello Everyone,
I just joined this forum as i was able to buy a QTEk with the following details:
Version de ROM : 1.13.74 ESN
Version de Movil : 1.04.02
Version Protocolo : 42.37.P8
Version de ExtROM : 1.13.169 ESN
As I am more fluent in English than Spanish, I wanted to upgrade my ROM to English, but also I would need to Backup the ROM of the spanish version so if there are problems with the phone, I can flash it back to the original manufacturer installed ROM.
What program do I need to Backup the ROM (and restore in the future) before I start fiddling?
Also, I heard that I can erase Extended ROM. As of now, what can I use the space that I will gain from erasing the contents of the Extended ROM?
Also one thing i noticed is that some of the keys have rub marks coming from the upper part of the universal (the screen) I think they touch eachother when it is colsed. Is this a factory defect?
Finally, I don't know where to register and get support for my QTEK. Where do you download/search for patches? Where do I register this device? Should I have gotten an i-mate instead?
Thanks in advance for all your comments, guys.
Jorge
GUYS?!?
Hello Anybody out there?
I have posted this message 2 weeks ago, a few views but no answers so I'll go ahead and update you on what's happened:
Thanks to BUZZ_LIGHTYEAR I was able to RAW DUMP my Spanish ROM to a File which I exchanged for a decoded nk.nbf file from an unpacked English ROM Update (the QTEK WWE) then I encoded the RAW file so now I have a new nk.nbf file which i pressume is the Spanish verion.
I'm not sure if it'll make a difference that the rest of the files are in English but will this update any UNIVERSAL to the Spanish verion? Anybody needs Spanish ROM and is willing to test this out? I can send you the Files needed? If it doesn't work you just have to flash back to the English. I haven't tested it yet because my device is originally Spanish so I have no fallback ROM if it doesn't work. But I followed BUZZ's instructions and I don't think it's gonna cause a problem.
Hmm,
seems this topic is very boring to everybody here, oh well....
Anybody has similar case of rubbed-out keys on the keyboard?
Just to show that there are persons available reading and having an opinion
Left and right of my keyboard, a little lower then the keys itself there are two outstanding rubber ? pads ? protecting the display from touching the keyboard, be it in portrait or landscape mode. So no, I do not have this problem.
Ruud
Mine have the rubber stuff too, Maybe i have them a little low... Could I possibly get a replacement? I don't think this can be considered wear-and-tear as i only had my phone for 1 month..... And the "damage" was caused by open/closing of the phone. Not using of the keyboard.
I would say certainly worth a try.
Good luck.
Ruud
i need spanish rom
I bought my qtek 9000 from O2 (UK) by ebay, it works great, but i need spanish software, i'd like to probe MoviStar, vodafone (if available) and free Spanish versions. I also need instructions or manual, i flashed a xda2 once, but i can't remember how i did, i think i put it in a special test mode. Thanks.
I have posted the QTEK Spanish ROM in the uploads section. Please look for it. Both OS and Extended ROM are there.
Just download the OS, and run the "noID" file to upgrade your QTEK to Spanish. Just remember that also the keyboard will be configured to Spanish (which has the "Ñ" character) so you have to re-map it back to whatever keyboard you have. You can search how to do this in the forums.
Just download the 2 said files, then you can upgrade your ROM. These ROM's are dated OCTOBER 2005
what do i need for backuping my system to a sdcard?
Im not sure. I backed-up to my PC. I think you can search here for grab_it program that dumps to SD card but i'm not sure it will work for WM5 or Universal
Well, how did you backup system to your pc?
and thanks again.
Actually, what i backed up was my OS nad ExtendedROM. No personal customizations.
You can see in my second post that i was able to do it thru steps i saw at BUZZDEV.NET thanks to buzz-lightyear.
It's under "how to d2s dump" you can follow my story there on how to backup ROM. Esentially it copies your operating system to a file on your PC which you can then install on another device after encoding/decoding.
I have posted my Spanish QTEK ROM on the FTP site so you can change your QTEK to spanish if you want.
What's your QTEK ROM version? all details please:
ROM Version
ROM Date
Protocol Version
Radio Version
Extended ROM Version

It is not a shipping ROM but you need 2 files:
1st: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/
QTEK Spanish ROM (1.13.74 ESN).rar --- This is the OS ROM
2nd: ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Universal/
QTEK ExtendedROM.rar --- this is the Extended ROM
i have the spanish extended rom, but the jasjar don´t reconice ?¿
thanks for alll
You have to install first the QTEK OS ROM then copy the Extended ROM after. Where in Spain do you live?
You can call me if you need more help. But i speak English, my Spanish is MIERDA

I put this on the BA upload FTP today, MDA could you have a look at it?
Here is what came in the description
Instructions for upgrading your ROM
to WM 5 Build 14343
At this point, there is 1 BlueAngel WM5 English Roms available: Version
5.1.1700 Build 14343
This is a BA GSM rom and will only work on PH20B / PH20B1 devices.
And it cant be made, fixed, edited or reworked to work on any other device
You need Windows XP and SP2 to make ActiveSync 4 work! SP2 is available free
of charge at any PC World computer superstore or direct from Microsoft.com
Flashing your device can turn it into a Paper Weight, this is your own risk
Flashing a Rom which is not from your carrier will void the warranty
The Partion Tool resets your Exteneded rom Password and you Will not be able to
lock you EXT Rom if you revert back to CE2003
I have not tried it out yet. The way I put it in there is in sort of a package form, the file rarsave has the original rar files in it and the folders are the unpacked versions.
Any comments or results would be grately apreciated.
Ok, I upgraded to this ROM, from what I can tell it is the most straight up almost factory version of WM5 I have seen, It is fast and solid.
The only thing missing is the Blackberry software, Enterprise or web. If anyone knows where to get that I would be a happy camper. Can you get this software in a CAB form?
When you click on IE for the first time it even says OEM version!!!
No branding at all.
are you sure this isn't the one which we have tried before?
Where did you get this rom ?
I think it is the first WM5 rom for BA, PDA2k_2k5.rar but I will see after reflash
There is no point to upgade to this rom i am right and this is the first one the same as this one
There are far better roms in the ftp than this one

Contacts/tapping any contact/Menu/Save to SIM. The last item namely "Save to SIM" is not available (grey color, not black). Looks it's necessary to change a value somewhere in registry, but I did not manage to find what and where.
Does some1 face such problem? Or there is a solution the problem? Does this bug exists in beta8?

yes, "Save to SIM" is active and works.

A: It may due to you get the wrong image. Please check your device’s device name and language type and download RUU package from the vender web site again and reset your device and then run RUU again.
Has anybody had this problem..I bought my device as qtek9000 via the official vendor of HTC pda's in Holland... I bought it through my girlfriends telecom company... it comes with WM5.0 UK...

I have a german T-Mobile MDA Pro with the official T-Mobile AKU 2.0 from May 2006. Is there any stable upgrade I could apply to my MDA? Maybe T-Mobile released something officially? I read that there are already Windows Mobile 5 AKU 3.0 and later floating floating around for other brands? Where is the one for MDA Pro?

I am currently using the Helmi’s AKU 3.5. If you are new in ROM upgrades, you may choose the Helmi’s AKU 3.3 which is more reliable.

Agree.
Me using Helmi_c Aku3.5 v1.3 too. Performance is great except no speedial!
Also think Helmi_c Aku3.3 v1.2 is the best ROM so far except for not having Windows Live.
Works better with Radio 1.14.10, but depend of your network provider.
What is Radio 1.14.10 ?
And what do you mean with Windows Live? Does some Microsoft AKU contain already some windows live services that where promised for "crossbow" (WM6.0)? What are those? Or is this some ugly homwbrew hack?

I suggest you go to this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286036 and download the Helmi aku3.5 v1.3. -Its very reliable and considerably faster than what you will have installed already. I strongly recommend that you back up to MS OUTLOOK before updating if you dont wish to lose your calander events or contacts.
To answer your question, the so-called 'Radio ROM' is actually an update of the mobile phone (aka radio) firmware. Helmi's package includes a previous radio firmware version which is fine. The package also includes the latest available firmware upgrade (or AKU) of the Windows Mobile 5 operating system. This firmware upgrade of the OS is not yet officially released by MS, but has leaked and has since been tweaked by such jolly fine chaps as Helmi.
By the way, you'll be quite confused by the mixed use of ROM, extended ROM, hard/cold boot, etc (eg. everyone knows that ROM = 'Read Only Memory' and that the AKU and RADIO upgrades are actually written to EEPROM or equivalent memory type). Dont worry too much about it though, the lingua franca grows on you and the support from the community is excellent
Go ahead and try to update your universal after backing it up.
Your next post should be either "WOW, thats much better!!" or "CRAP, how do I get the damned thing to update??!!"
before I actually go for an upgrade I still have some worries:
1. won't I loose the german language on my phone (keyboard, äöü, T9, UI Language) ?
2. on some screenshots I have seen a "3G" Icon, but in germany it is UMTS and I want to keep the U Icon
3. When upgrading the Radio ROM, will everything still work fine with the operator T-Mobile such as MobileTV, streaming, MMS, Videophonie or this automatic image compression service offered by t-mobile germany (automatically compresses all images on websites to save traffic).
Just to make you feel safe, you can go to your T-Mobile website, download your current ROM from there.
So even how good the new ROM is, if you do not like it, flash back the old one.
can anybody answer my 3 questions ?

I have a german T-Mobile MDA Pro with the official T-Mobile AKU 2.0 from May 2006. Is there any stable upgrade I could apply to my MDA? Maybe T-Mobile released something officially? I read that there are already Windows Mobile 5 AKU 3.0 and later floating floating around for other brands? Where is the one for MDA Pro?

There is NO official AKU 3 out yet for the Universal. I don't think there will ever be. ALL the AKU 3 you see here are made by members and any Universal device can use them.

bitbonk,
As mentioned there is no official AKU 3.X for Universal.
AKU 3.X ROM’s that you find here are tailored to functionality by some brilliant guys in this forum. Indeed those are generally in English.
However if you choose to use them you will lose your German language but you may able to find batches that allows you to reconfigure. I do also believe your specific T-mobile related functionality will be lost.
in case your decide to give a try for one this available ROM’s then as CWKJ has suggested you can download you current original ROM from T-Mobil for back up
However please take NOTE this forum is for guys they like to test and develop.
I think I am using my universal more for upgrading and testing some ROM’s rather for daily usage. Therefore if you decide start to use one of this ROM’s be prepared to be infected with “XDA developers Virus”. This Virus is not infecting your device but its effecting you live
This will lead you spending most of your free time in this forum and on your device.
Instead bringing news paper to “rest room” you will bring your Universal.
If anyone tries to call you on your device, they will be not able to contact you as device docked on your computer for ROM upgrade or trying any reg. code.
Your Girlfriend/wife will start to complain: “I wish you would love me same as you loving your Universal”
So bro think carefully on what you decide :0)
LOL !!! ...
Good one.
I am trying to get my other half to be infected too.
Read somewhere in this forum, cannot remember which thread, a guy say his girlfriend complaint that he is doing too much ROM. Some other guys in this forum suggest him to give his girlfiend some RAM before continue with his ROM.
LOL !!! ...
So much of joke aside.
This are all self cooked ROMs. Our hardware maker for $ making seek unlikely to give any of us any update (only once in April 06).
1. You will lose the German Language as this is a WWE (World Wide English) ROM. But you can make a search in this forum for a forumer by name Asukal who is an expert in language. You should find some language patch (for read & write) to make up for the missing German Language.
2. "3G" is a "display only bug" in the Aku3.x which should be "U" for Voice service. For Web browsing service or Video, etc, instead seeing "U", you see "G" (a bug too).
3. UMTS/3G using this ROM with Radio image (any version, but latest official T-Mobile is version 1.13.00 and some test version 1.14.10 which seems to work pretty well with this Helmi_c Aku3.5 V1.3) have no problem with Voice Call, SMS, MMS, Video Call, Web browsing, etc. Other T-Mobile specific service (MobileTV, streaming, image compression), I think it should be in your Extended Rom, not Radio. You can just flash nk.nbf (Aku part) and Radio_.nbf (radio part) and do not flash the ms_.nbf (extended rom part).
Lastly, only after flashing, you will get all your questions answer until the day you try it.
Before flashing, backup your T-Mobile splash screen (if any) because splash screen of Helmi's ROM is O2, Indra's is imate, the other 2 I have not tried.
Remember to use MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe, (do not use ROMUpgradeUt.exe), to flash.
Good luck.
thank you for your help.
So maybe there is a e preconfigured ROM/radio upgrade (AKU 3.x) with german language floating around that is known to work well with german t-mobile ? Any german t-mobilers around here?
Why not go into the helmi thread and ask if someone has a compatible german language patch? You can probably set up the T Mobile stuff manually....

Can someone please post a link to the radio rom again?
I can't access the FTP from home anymore, I don't know why, it just times out, and I can't access the FTP from work unless I have a direct link to a file, these links are broken

hey bro thanks for sharing but i tried uk and nl and both archives are corrupt???
please reupload the ruu or try a different link thanks in advance!
I tried DE, AT, UK - they work fine here!
Tried AT Version - download does not work!
Hmmmm, for me it worked perfect.
Do we have a straight link ?? I mena to t-mobile site ??
Sorry, i am to stupid
I have always thought, i am a ppc-pro.
But now, i am at the end of my wisdom.
My Device is the MDA Vario II from T-Mobile (get it 1 week ago).
First i have done was to visit the xda-devs, read all about upgrading a hermes, flashed HardSPL, flashed Schaps 3.54b -> all went fine.
Now i would like to try this Official Rom and this is where i stuck.
Can i simply Flash this one and is my Device after that still with HerdSPL or do this overwrite my IPL / SPL.
If this is so, can i reflash HardSPL and change to any other Rom (Schaps new one, when released or else).
Sorry for so many questions, i really read all the Wiki - Sites but i can not figured out how this work.
Because my English is not so good and it is hard to read so many technical Threads.
Thank you for any answers.
give it a day and someone will cut the bloat out and release it with a custom ruu if your unsure
i have extract this by myself and repacked it without the ipl.nb and spl.nb.
but i am not sure if i can flash this with the ruuwrapper.exe found on this forum.
This is possibly the most impressive released ever!
T-Mobile UK have been saying that there would be no update for the past 12months and its got an official release!
Gonna flash and reply in a few!
I have updated my ROM thread accordingly to celebrate the release!!!
does it come with a radio version?
Rom:
3.60.110.4
Radio:
1.50.00.00
Protocol:
32.83.7020.20h
Nothing yet on the official download site
... and it appears to be identical to the test version pushed out a few months back. Presumably the "For Test only" splashscreen has been removed.
Indeed it has been and its fast, I went into Hard-SPL and it flashed up!
Does anyone know what SPL this should be?
Herm300
IPL-1.04
HERM300
SPL-2.03
OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
ROM Date 09/05/07
Storage (total) 47.73 (Free) 39.34
Program (total) 48.77 (Free) 28.54
Anychance of getting it extracted? I managed to flash using Hard-SPL and it all works very very well, uber fast
Never been so happy with my Windows Mobile 6.
Has installed okay on mine with no messing around with RUU's or anything.
No test version on the splash, although its a little jarring to go back to the god awful pink and white on first reboot. Now where did I put my Black themes......?
I really miss the original Spawn splash screen. Did anyone ever actually release an installer for it?
