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
Cya
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.

As far as I know the V1.20 Rom Range was for BB Connect
The AKU 2 Stuff would be for M$ Push Mail etc

On my Notebok I get the same error message
Plus the PDA in Switch it off and switch it on
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 All,
I am facing the dreaded 'No GSM' error and unable to flash radio rom problem.
tried to flash every possible rom including original O2 one. All failed on radio ram flash.
Went through various threads and there seems to be no solution yet for universal (though there seems to be a solution for Hermes).
So all, please help me if there is some light in the end of this tunnel
regards
Topgun
i have tried all the possible things but no luck so far.....
please help
I just bought a used XDA with this same problem. Thought if i flash it it would work... any suggestions on what I can do? i havent touched it yet. Thanks
has ANYONE been able to solve this problem?!!!! Pls what did u do step by step.... I spent so much money on this %&%$& Phone!!! pulllleeeessssss
I haven't had this problem, however it sounds like you phone may be SIM locked? If so, you will need to flash it with the native ROM from it;'s origin. If it is SIM and CID locked, it will only take the OEM signed ROM.
Quote from POF (Moderator)
"Not in 100% of the cases... there are some situations where the radio bootloader is intact, but the radio is screwed, this causes all bootloader commands that require radio seclevel to be queried to hang the device (like 'task 32' or 'info 2'), thus not being able to flash it with the usual RUUs.
If this happens, it can easily be fixed with hermflasher by flashing the raw radio without prior authenticating to bootloader."
If this is of any help. It is from a thread on CID Unlocking RUU for Uni
Thanks.
i have been through that thread.
well the question on that is 'Is hermflasher okay to flash Universal as well'?
Where is this thread? i can try it.... but cant find the thread on cid unlocking ruu for universal in mermes section....

lucky you, I tried that same WM6 ROM (with radio 1.18) and still same problem. I've tried falshing with 2 different desktops and a laptop. Still same problem! Topgun, did u have active sinc installed ? was the PC u used fresh? (no apps installed). do u think if i format my PC it could flash the radio? DID u flash radio only? or the whole laurentious v3 WM6 package (that is at the same time)?
Pls reply

well it was a laptop dell to be precise.
it was never used for window mobile usage previously and hence fresh Active sync 4.5 was installed.
only radio rom 1st (using the RUU check bypassing)......
once succesful, then laurentiius rom was tried.
one more thing i had entered bootloader manually after disabling AS 4.5
i used the original USB cable as well
hope this helps....
suggest get hold of some friends "win mobile virgin" pc/laptop.
P.S>- i am not sure but this prob might be somewhat related to COM ports available on your machine.

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.

The realVGA is not included in the Tomals ROM. you need to download it separately.(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327830)

Hi,
I want to install a new ROM and by 0% i don't know way, but the USB-connection is lost! The setup say that I can connect again, but Windows 7 doesn't recognize the HTC TouchPro2
What can I do to save my TP2?
neon
welcome!
a little more information!
is your device hardspl´d?
no recovery-message-thing after the lost connection?
can you go to bootloader?
if your device is harspl´d, have you tried to flash a stock rom via sd-card? ( search the wiki)
Sorry,
yes, there was a recovery-message after the lost connection, but after 2 trys it closed itself. On my screen I see the grey background with "0% done"
What you mean with hardspl'd? Hardreset? I doesn't do anything, because I don't want to lose my brand new phone :-/ *argh*
I don't do a reboot, so I doesn't know if I can go to the bootloader. Can I restart my Phone?
can´t really tell you if you can restart your phone, could be worth a try, take your battery out and wait a few seconds
for explanation:
if you got a branded phone (t-mobile, at&t...) you can only flash offical roms from that specific provider.
if you got an unbranded phone from htc you can flash htc roms, links ar at wiki
for flashing custom roms you need to hardspl your device...
someone correct me if i´m wrong, i´m always willing to learn something new...
for harspl look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
for flashing your first rom go here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
and always: READ THE STICKIES!
if you can´t bring your phone back to live i would suggest you pm cmonex for your problem... she´s the best
It is a unbranded phone from htc. Are you sure I must hardspl my phone? Because I read the flashing tut from NRGZ28 and he say nothing about hardspl.
Edit: What means "this package is for Rhodium (Touch Pro 2, not the original Touch Pro) devices. CDMA-GSM worldphone version is not accepted (RHOD400, RHOD500 modelids), that will have its own Hard-SPL later. "? I have a german version of the HTC TP2.
is your ActiveSync fully updated? I was trying to flash my phone at work on my laptop but I just couldn't do it. I got home and flashed it fine on my desktop. Turns out ActiveSync was slightly out of date and it wouldn't work. Both computers were Windows 7 btw, x86 and x64 respectively
I'm still see the grey display with the 0% process bar. I think this is the reason why Win7 doesn't regognize the device. But I don't know if I can reboot. variosteph wasn't sure...
I install the WMDC 6.1 some minutes ago.
Ok, I forgot to Hard-SPL. It is very bad? What's the consequences?

there are different rhodiums for different bands...
german one should be RHOD100, to be sure took out your battery and read behind...
so take your battery out and see what happen...
to flash a custom rom you need always
1. Active Sync or WMDC - phone synced
2. hardspl - follow the tut
3. flash your custom rom...
did you try flashing your phone without activesync or WMDC?
kannst mir auch ne pm schreiben, auf deutsch isses evtl leichter zu erklären...bin noch ca 30 minuten da...
du hast eh nur 2 möglichkeiten, restart oder warten...

No, I use WMDC. But I install the 6.1 update again to be sure I have the WDMC full updated.
Ok, know I try to install the hardspl and then the custom ROM
THX for the help!
I ran into a similar issue only I couldn't get it to flash through a Windows 7 virtual on my Mac. I was able to do it from my Windows 7 Tablet PC just fine and also on Win XP. If you are having an issue you can try running the enablerapinew cab file. I don't remember who posted it but it worked when I had issues. If you did not HardSPL you will not likely get it to work. I have flashed my phone about 15 times since NRG started hooking it up with his ROMs so it's pretty reliable. As long as your PC doesn’t crash or phone die in the middle of flashing you will be fine. If you are worried or unsure thoroughly read through the forums under noob flashing guides and do your research.

I'm verfiy the hardspl and I'm in the bootloader. How to close it? Take out the battery?

edit: to close bootloader just softreset...
:?
*Go into BootLoader Mode (do a Soft Reset while holding the "volume down" key on the left side of the device. Keep holding the "volume down" key until you see tricolour screen which is the bootloader mode, then release it) and verify the screen shows 0.85.OliNex, which is the HardSPL version*

The next step is to install the ROM. But how to close the bootloader? After the installation the device boot regular and I make a softreset to confirm the hardspl.
Whats better? Install from sd-card or over WMDC?

for flashing custom roms you need to hardspl your device...
someone correct me if i´m wrong, i´m always willing to learn something new...

let me correct some things in your post: unbranded phones still have a CID, so still can't flash any htc rom, only specific ones (for the country the phone was meant for).

Yes it is.
HTC Flashing program doesn't rely on any drivers which means it is independent from what ever OS you use. It solely relies on you being able to create a ACTIVESYNC connection. Which means as long as you can make an ActiveSync Connection then you will be fine.
In Windows 7 and Windows Vista, ActiveSync is renamed to Windows Mobile Device Center, which requires a download from here:
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/en-us/downloads/microsoft/device-center-download.mspx
If you are still worried you can do the other method of flashing which flashes the ROM/Radio from your device itself.
Windows 7 has a knack of downloading drivers for you, so just plug in your device and wait. Then if using MTTY follow the instructions in the thread for replacing the drivers and flashing.
Or you can just run the HTC ROM Upgrade utility and flash with the stock ROM first if it gets glichy
of course you have to run the flash tools as administrator (otherwise you get a connection error).

Or you can turn off the useless User Access Control (UAC).
