Hi,
Just flashed my Orbit to WM6 from official O2 website, I've noticed the custom parts from WM5 have now gone i.e. last caller/battery. I quite liked these especially the last caller, anyone know if theres a download for the cab files to reinstate these?
Thanks
O2 upgrade

I had a problem the first time I upgraded as TomTom was installed on the SD card and it started running before the upgrade finished. If you have the sd card in, try removing it first and re-install the upgrade to see if that gives you what you are missing. Put the sd ard back in after the Orbit has finished rebooting itself following the upgrade - this is when the O2 bits and pieces are installed.
good luck!
cheers mate, that's fixed the problem.
many thanks.

Glad it worked out OK.
DOH!!
Another problem seems to have arisen after the upgrade, I cannot add contacts or new appointments just get "An unexpected error has occurred in this program". Anyone else had this?
Is this an official WM6 English ROM for Orbit??
Could you please provide me the link to downoad??
Kind Regards
SlyBrazil
it's the official O2 update from their website

Sounds like it needs a reinstall again, or perhaps a hard reset? I have installed a number of different Roms and never ha this problem.
Is this update good.
Becuase i already have one that works.
Does any one knows the contents? or what software is in it?

I try to upgrade ROM by SER-v1.2 for my ET180,
When I run XDA-developers-SER-v12.exe,
error occur:
ERROR: GetDeviceData - Unspecific error
error getting devicedata
does anyone know the reason?
thanks
I think the problem is, that the ET180 isn't a HTC Wallaby device.
Never heard this name before......

Are you trying to flash your XDA II with a cooked ROM made for XDA I ??!!
no ... whichever rom i try... i get the same problem...
1. i double click the rom exe file.
2. a small dos window opens up, where i presume its trying to get some data from the phone.. it shows... FAILED TO GET DATA FROM PHONE...
3. the installation window open .... when i click NEXT.. it shows error getting data from phone. please check USB connection etc..
i phone is synced properly before i start the installation. i tried it by disabling the sync as well.
i even tried the i-mate 1.72 rom version . same thing. i even tried the A3.09 cooked rom for wm2003.
whats going wrong? is there a way i can run the exe on the phone itself, by transfering it to the documents file or something???
please let me know.. wierd thing is that i've got my O2 XDA II with 1.66 & not 1.60. i actually want to put 1.60, but when i log onto myxda.com & try downloading it, it says ur phone does not need to download it as it got a latat verion already installed.(obviously ive registered my phone there with my imei no)
any ideas?? please let me know. 1.66 is not stable & im having lots of problems with the sound. & sometimes i get a call, but my phone does not ring.
all this started with SBP's software.. especially Phone Plus II.
since ive removed it, its better but yet not good enough. maybe i should just do a hard reset. But how many times can i keep doing that??
its irritating.

I 'm totally confused!! ... which ROM you are using to flash which device ??!!!
cooked WM2003 ROMs (like 30.09 and 4.01.16) are made for only Wallaby devices (XDA I) ... the 1.60, 1.66, 1.72 ... etc are made for only Hymalia devices (XDA II) .... now what is the exact error you get when you are doing exactly what ?
this is the .cab that Ace Hellas gave to us before 10 minutes from HTC to solve the sd corruption
i do not have the problem but i hope to help all with this...
And I run and install all vague .cabs on my device!!
What is this supposed to be and where did you get it. Are you implying this is the fabled HTC fix, yet for some reason HTC have chosen not to release it themselves, but you have leaked it??????
Having just gone thru the SD card failure routine (followed by neccessary total rebuild!!), I'm keen to try anything to fix this "fault" on my O2 Orbit.....However, I'd love to know what this does before implementing the "solution".....
....I think what I'm trying to say is: if this is the solution then what was the definative problem? and what does this solution do?
Hope you can help and I really hope this fixes it...many thanks!
this file is a patch as i said is in the official web page of htc in Greece and it is on the site since 30 minutes
more info i will tell when i have something new
here it is but you must put first the imei of the ppc to have access

Thanks mastelos,
This file is only on Greece Qtek/HTC forum but there is no information about it on P3300 updates page. Maybe you could find out why? Is this an unofficial or made by Greek programmers patch - not send to HTC headquarter yet?
Cheers,
ace hellas doesnt put unofficial updates!its from HTC...they didnt say how it works..i just install it at my P3300,i hope it works!
Ok has anyone tried this yet??
Downloaded but not installing until I've seen some release details from HTC. I also am not sure if I should remove SDsentry before I install it....

I too have downloaded it but like you, I don't want to run it until either (1) HTC release some details or (2) somebody who has been brave enough to try it confirms that it doesn't do anything malicious.
I can't think of any reason why you would need to remove SDsentry first, though. All this does is put a file called sdsentry.txt in various important directories and then warns as soon as it has any problems reading any of these files (which suggests that the microSD card is corrupted).
guys i have it install for 3 hours now..
its nothing malicious..
for the corrupt problem until now its ok but its very soon to say that is really solved!
Ace Hellas is the official HTC provider in greece,i dont know why HTC didnt put at their site the patch yet but its real...
Yeh, I just loaded it up. Normally most cab files I install I get some message about unknown publishers etc. Not with this, It looks legitimate to me. I think htc watch this space so we can do an evaluation for them.
One more thing that has really been bugging my orbit has been the soft reset loop, after installing this cab my orbit went through only one cycle, maybe coincidence but that is the first time in months that that has happened.
I just installed it on a german p3300 - seems to work fine after install - i will see if there is any sd corrupption in the next weeks
Update:
Got bit late last night, But this morning orbit is 100% ok, again almost every morning I normally have a slight corruption in program files. Today all is good.
Not sure but I also think that maybe the thing is even reading the card a bit faster than it was.
Just a thought obvious to everyone, but Artemis was a Greek goddess, HTC must like Greece for some reason.

maybe this is the answer.....
well isend yesterday an e-mail to htc Greece to explain me if this an official or custom i'm waiting for answer
from my experience i believe this is an official patch because htc Greece never
gave to us a non official rom or anything one year now i use their products
i do not install the file because i do not have the corruption problem and i have 3300 from 27/9/2006 us you can see on my previews posts
i believe that they (htc Greece) recieve the file on friday afternoon and put it immediately on their site and from monday all the htc sites will have the patch
*sorry for bad english
Maybe not the UK, bank holiday monday.
I installed the patch last night. Now, almost 24 hours later, and after using my Orbit a lot, I have not had a single warning from SDsentry!
Installing the patch required a reboot. It shows up in the "Remove Programs" menu if you decide you want to get rid of it. So far, I can't see any reason why you would want to remove it.
Looks like Well Done, HTC!
Well after months of never having card corruption, it hit me last night, and as good to form, my backup on the PC was out of date. Thankfully the damage wasn't too bad.
So I've installed this patch, which goes on smoothly, as said above, it is signed so you don't have to agree to install it, and it is listed in remove programs as "HTC Patch DrvUpdate".
Theres no instant way of testing it I guess, as I had to wait months for my first corruption anyway.
Installed on 2 Orbits - no ill effects, I got "the bug" about once a week previously, will post back here if it happens again, fingers crossed...
Installed the Patch wich consists of the following file :
\windows\omap850_sdhc.dll
so that the original Rom files being superseded ....
Will see .....
Hi,
Just got a shiny new Orbit and I'll be installing WM6 ASAP but meantime I just want to get rid of the O2 rubbish.
Hard-resetting the phone and formating results in the phone re-installing but the "Corporate Install" option never appears.
What am I doing wrong?
Thanks

They got rid of that.
Hard reset, then when you get the message "Customising in 3 seconds" soft reset again before it starts.
You'll need to enter the GPRS and MMS settings manually, although I think there is a .cab file of them floating around here somewhere.
Thanks. I'll give that a try and report back.

Or wait a week or two for O2s official offering.
my memory card is no longer being recognized by my orbit. I installed a new ROM yesterday (official HTC), and it was working until this morning. The card works fine if I plug it into a memory card reader on my pc. Any ideas whats wrong? I have tried a hard reset but its still not available on my device. Many thanks.
Occasionally, my MDACIII does the same thing. The way I sort mines out when it does this is to remove and reinerting the battery.
I have not tried a hard reset, but I kow a soft reset does not sort it.
Hope that helps. It would be nice to have a more technical solution!
that worked! Thanks very much tmohammad!! I owe you a beer..
My pleasure...
I dont drink so save your money! (Better still give it to a charity)
I thought it was a problem only on my phone as noboby replied to my query ages ago which was similar to yours!
Your device proves that there is some sort of technical hitch with the phones that cant be solved by soft reset.
Just as well we have this forum!
thats for sure, I haven't experienced this before, I usually have the HTC memory card fix installed (to fix the corrupt card problem) but I didnt install it yesterday when i added the new rom, I thought that was the problem, thankfully its ok now.
Thanks again for your help, much appreciated, love this forum!
HTC should have incorporated the corruption fix into the new rom base solely on the release date. If you really use the official rom, I guess then yours is another problem different from that of the HTC fix.
My phone is using the official htc 3.5 wm6.

Did I miss something? I thought all the WM6 ROM's for the Artemis were custom. Do you have a link to this official WM6 upgrade?
Nevermind. I found it on HTC asia.
Guys,
I am ****ed.
Just installed the new pays rom - and then my standard applications like the spb software suite.
Just rebooted the device, and it now keeps on hanging on the bootloader.
Tried to reset the phone several times to no avail.
Anybody got a clue what might cause this?
Thx in advance,
trial
Flash the rom you had before when the device gets to bootloader mode.
Or one official rom.
Logically it should be ok and the rom will be flashed to your tytn
thx for the quick reply
Hi,
I had the same Problem. I solve it by flashing the 2.15 lite (German) Version.
But that fix just the problem with the booting. Now, the Bootloader 2.03 and can't flash anything else.

You might watch the language, we all know how to curse here, comes naturally from repeated flashing.....
So, I'd advice flashing an official ROM and take it from there. My last posts have referenced this, so follow the bouncing ball.
seems like problem for a lot of wm 6.1 roms. Been suggested that its a compatability problem with wm5/6 3rd party apps. try HR then put your apps on and test for a day or 2 to see if that app is the problem then put on next app etc.... Cheers

Agreed with ultramag69 ... not all wm5/6 3rd party apps compatible with wm6.1 .. so be prepared.
Faced this problem last time... install nice wm6.1 rom (TNT) but not compatible with my favorite apps so shift back to wm6 rom (schaps)
