to upgrade to Rom 1.72 or not?? (Hard Reset Issue)

Hi there,
I worked for a company who bought over 20 i-mate with ROM 1.66.
Unfortunately, we had about 5 devices which suffer from Hard-Reset few times each.
I read somewhere that the solution might be an upgrade to Rom 1.72
cuase the Hard Reset is a known issue of the 1.66..
I'm going to upgrade them devices soon, but would like you to device me
if the new Rom actually solve the Hard-Reset issue or not?
Thanks in advanced,

thanks for your answer.
but, just one more quick question:
have you ever suffer from the Hard Reset issue
before the upgrade?
Are you familiar with the issue?

rom 1.66 problem
my o2 xda2 used to have 1.66 rom. hard reset occurred to me like every day. i installed it back, then it would freeze, then hard reset itself. it happened 5 times. then i upgraded to 1.72 i-mate rom. it's bn 2 weeks, no problem so far.

hi again
never had the hard reset problem
as soon as i got my xda2 upgraded it to the orange 166 rom then when the imate one came out upgraded to that one.
hope it helps :wink:

Since I read a lot about radio and bluetooth improvements in rom 1.72, I would like to upgrade my T-Mobile MDA II (rom 1.60.00 wwe) too.
But I would also like to keep the 'special' T-Mobile application (as far as I know those are in extended rom).
Is it possible to use the only the radio and rom from for example the imate or qtek 1.72 rom and use the 1.60.36 extended rom included in the latest T-Mobile rom published?
(I know I will have to edit country codes and all, the question is just to know wheter or not putting together such a set will succeed)
Which 1.72 rom would be best: The Qtek one (released today) or the imate one?
:?:

My friend bought a brand new i-mate loaded with the 1.66 ROM and bootloader 1.06
He was suffering from the frequent Hard rest alot.
He tried upgrading to the latest 1.72 ROM but that didn't solve any problems. And the device seem to still go through frequent Hard Reset.
I am guessing this has something to do with the bootloader's version?
So my question is..
Is there anyone with the same bootloader's version (1.06) and same ROM version (1.66 or 1.72) also that have no Hard reset problems? :?
Thanks

Odd device (ROM) info

HI
I've had my o2 xda2 since it came out in the UK Nov 2003 and I haven't reflashed the ROM or done any thing like that. I even got O2 to network unlatch it for me. (This was before the unlock tool) I was surprised to see the following device info when i did a soft reset.
ROM version 1.03.00 USA
ROM date 09/24/03
Radio Version 1.05.12
Protocol version 1337.12
the bit that surprised me was USA in the ROM version.
I've been in Toronto since May 04 on Fido has my ROM been upgraded without my knowledge over the air/or when I use my wifi card or is this a really old rom as i got one of the first xda2's that came out in the UK.
Should I upgrade the rom with o2 latest update?? or use a different ROM
The XDA locks up rarely, the only problem is when you go out of signal range (ie on the underground subway) the xda2 sometime can't lock back onto the network and so a soft reset is needed.
I look forward to your pearls of wisdom.

Question about Radio stacks

I am an Orange UK SPV M3100 (HERM100) user. My radio stack was originally whatever was in the AKU3 update for WM5.
After doing the HardSPL V7 flashing, I upgraded my radio stack to the 1.50.00 version which said GSM only.
Then I upgraded to 1.51.00 which sucked so I downgraded back to 1.50.00
Now I assume that GSM only means GSM/GPRS/Edge/UMTS/HSDPA and excludes WIFI/Bluetooth.
So my question is has there been any radio upgrades to the non-gsm parts of the radio stack since the WM5 AKU3 update that Orange UK released in April?

Hi Starfury.
All the Radios only affect the calls/GPRS/3G etc. part of the phone. I'm not sure why 1.50 has GSM in the title as it's fundamentally the same as all the other Radio's, albeit a different version. Bluetooth and WiFi are always controlled from the actual ROM - in your case Scahps' excellent one (from your sig). I'm not sure how frequently the bits of the ROM controlling Bluetooth and WiFi are updated, but I'm sure the Chefs here have the very latest ones built in!
Happy flashing....

"GSM Only" refers to the fact that it's only a radio update.

Upgrading O2 XDA Orbit (ARTE200) from WM5 to WM6.

Hello Guys,
As you can see I'm new here. I'm from Brazil.
I would really appreciate you to help me - I've just registered in this forum and realized there are many different threads for similar subjects, and so I've got confused on what are the latest best practices to upgrade XDA Orbit to WM6.
I've bought a new O2 XDA Orbit (Artemis) on a Import GSM store in US and then brought it to Brazil where I installed a SIM card of TIM Brazil Network, and so I can conclude that even showing T-Mobile splash screen at POST, this is a SIM Unlocked Device.
After using WM5 for a period, I had started realizing some "bugs" on my device, and then started trying to get support from O2. (For example).:
- It always get GPRS instead of EDGE.
- GPS update does not work
- Wi-Fi not working as expected (sometimes it's necessary to reset the device to use Wi-Fi).
I've tried many times to register my device and get updates from O2 site(Asia, UK, etc) when I found a guy from O2 Germany who told me my device was originate there, after checking my IMEI - He also told me their WM ROMs are always German and guessed the store has replaced the ROM, considering my device has the English WM5 version.
I've tried running hard reset sometimes - it minimizes some of the problems but other.
So I would appreciate you to provide me some guidance to upgrade my device from WM5 to WM6. There are also many other friend of mine in Brazil who will be really happy to receive this information.
Here it goes some Device Information.:
Model: ARTE200
ROM version: 1.13.110.1 WWE
ROM Date: 9/22/06
Radio Version: 02.49.90
Protocoll Version: 4.1.13.25
ExtROM version: 1.13.110.101
OMAP850 / 201MHz / 64MB RAM / 128 MB Flash
Please do not hesitate to ask me further details.
I'd be very thankful for your help!
Kind Regards
SlyBrazil

Ola Sly, vou escrever em português mesmo, pois em inglês me atrapalho um pouco. Seria interessante saber qual rom você esta utilizando, é a original da o2, é uma cozinhada pelo pessoal aqui do xda? Isso já daria um norte para a resposta...

just download the USPL , and run it while your device is connected to the pc. Just read the beginning of the thread and you'll found out how to do it.
After running the USPL, just download any WM6 rom you find HERE, and flash it to your phone.
Please don't ask me which WM6 rom is the best. Cause I think all cookers did a great job with their ROMS. I have to say, just try several and keep the one you like. Cause it's not because some WM6 rom is good for me, that it will be good for your needs too!!
Good Luck and have fun
Bye

Thank you all for the time spent and answers!
I've just Installed Artemis 2.1 Touch FULL ROM from Meschle and found it very good! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1506429
I'm gonna use it for a while and provide you some feedback but, at first I can tell you it's a great ROM - there are some things I was trying to configure such as.:
1. Configure customized and time-based profiles - I haven't found it at the default HTC Home Profile software.
2. Configure EDGE connections instead of GPRS - I have also double checked at my Network Provider (TIM Brazil) - my line is EDGE enabled and my region is covered - but it only gets GPRS.
I would appreciate your opinion regarding the questions above... but thanks anyway!
I'll also take a look at some addictional CABS from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325290 .. if you have suggestions, it would be welcome!
Many Thanks!
SlyBrazil!

Flashing an Indian version of Diamond ?

I've been going through many topics recently on flashing the diamond.. but iam a lil bit lost since my diamond is not a standard version.
in India, HTC launched the diamond through Airtel (a leading cellular operator) which is only a triband version ! :huh:
only GSM/EDGE/GPRS NO UMTS/HSDPA/HSUPA :angry:
i tried to download the official ROM update from htc.com , but on entering my serial number, it says the update does not support my device !
and there arent any update available on the Indian version of their site.
My device info:
ROM version: 1.37.720.2 WWE
ROM date: 06/16/08
Radio version: 1.00.25.03
Protocol version: 52.26a.25.09G
so my question is.. can i use those ROMs which are flying around ? or is it just the radio which i should be careful about ?
is the quadband support limited only through software (like the hardware already supports everything ? ) ?
ofcourse its a locked version, can i update the ROM and debrand it to the original version ? (unlocking it)
i highly appreciate anyone who could guide me on this

I too have the same questions... I too would like to have a faster diamond (1.93)

To install ROM on your diamond -
Install Hard SPL developers edition
Update Radio 1.00.25.05
Flash any ROM you want !
Guys please perform a simple search before posting a new topic .
Here's a big thread on INDIAN 2G diamond

Thanks a lot udayrulz for your response.. i hardly noticed that big thread on Indian 2G diamonds, sorry for that.
since iam new to this (iam not a total newbie, just new to the windows mobile flashing stuff, so hopefully i can grasp everything quickly) , can you point me in the right direction as to which version of Hard SPL i should use ? a search revealed lot of threads with lots of versions.. iam seriously lost !
and do you personally suggest any ROM ? (assuming you are also using the indian diamond)
TA

Use Olipro' Unsigned Hard-SPL first. Then flash the Radio to 25.05 and further on, its your choice..
Regards,
Carty..

Thanks everyone.. i think iam on the right track.. been trying different ROMs and tweaks. everything seems good so far
kudos to the community !

flashing wont unlock your Airtel Diamond, there are some ways by which you can do that.. search for diamond cid unlock.
i unlocked it by buying a code from htccode.com !

But would an unlocked phone get locked after using Hard SPL and updating the Radio and Rom?
