latest o2 update

im am going to update my xda2 but haven't decided on the rom version yet
currently i am on
rom 1.60.00wwe
radio 1.10.00
protocol 1337.18
extrom 1.60.50
it is the O2 XDA2 unlocked and using an orange sim card.
i was just going to get the O2 standard update but now i am on here and am tempted by the new 2003se rom. i still have detailed reading to do b4 upgrading but the questions i haven't found answered while scan reading are.
1.does it matter what bootloader version you have? (i have read conflicting reports about 1.06, how do u find what bootloader u are running?)
2.if i upgrade to the latest O2 rom will i have any additional problems if i then upgrade to WM 2003 SE at a later date.
3.O2 told me if i do the offical upgrade my orange sim wont work in it. I presume this is Bull ****?
i see that Sin and [Krueger]Dr.Stein have produced guides on how to upgrade and zeroextreme has produced an extended rom so it shouldn't be much of a problem following their instructons.
4. has anyone tried all the different varient ? if so did u think 1 was better than the other? have these been compared in another post?
5.i believe a while back there was 1 rom that was considered the official unoffical rom is there a newer 2003 se rom like this?
my main reason for upgrading is i can't send mms messages and i just like being ahead of the game.
after much trawling the net and speaking to orange data support i need to upgrade to the latest O2 Rom. at first i thought this was just orange incompetence but i really have tried a lot of stuff now gprs works fine but mms is a no go.
im off now to continue reading thanks for any responses

Bepe's WWE WM6 on Orbit

I've read through the WWE thread and still haven't managed to find people's experiences with this ROM and their UK Orbit's.
Can people please post any issues, and more importantly if I'll brick my Orbit (as from the shop so unsure whether CID locked / unlocked) if I follow the steps in the original thread?
Thanks.

I had no luck. I'm waiting for WM6 ROM from O2 UK to get the phone working again as I can still access the bootloader.

Same for me. Followed all the steps, but still my phone bricked. Mine was CID locked, but because there were several succesful upgrades on CID locked devices I also tried it. I'm also still able to enter bootlloader, so just have to wait for retail WM6 ( have no RUU signed update to restore my device )

I moved from a Orbit with a HTC P3300 Rom (CID Unlocked) to a WM6 Bebe Rom at the first attempt.
It's so much quicker than the WM5 Rom. It's a lot more stable.
If you want me to post the steps and a Apps I've tested I'll do so tomorrow.

I couldn't get Bepe's to load with the boot loader, but the next part with the windows.nb file worked..........
Sort of, I think the bluetooth is not working properly as I can't create a port to allow me to sync with my pc. Apart from that it is working fine. (Touch wood)

doesn't seem worth the risk...
sounds to me like it isn't worth trying at the moment then! shame cause i want to get wm6 running but would rather not have a bricked device ... and the odds look high!
come on o2... where's our official rom?

I've just upgraded my O2 Orbit and it worked fine. CID unlocked it with IMEI-Check and then followed Bepe's instructions.

mmmm... fair enough but i just don't wanna shell out $20 to get a cracked rom...

If I am not mistaken is it not £20 as opposed to dollars I would pay a tenner but like you I will wait for £20

Does anyone know if HTC will require an actual P3300 IMEI in order to download the WM6 update when and if they release it?

probably, they will require you to give this to prove you have a HTC branded device. TBH they shoudl provide a ROMforAll no matter what provider you have you should be able to upgrade to a clean manufacture rom.

for those who have O2-Orbit UK and can access only bootloader, did U try to flash german WM6? just run file downloaded from german o2 (without any hexedits etc. just run xdaorbit-windows-update.exe). I think it should work, because CID lock is not to lang version, but for operator (02_01) and both UK and DE Orbit are ARTE2000. Worth a try. If it works let it boot to calibration screen plug usb cable and reflash using bepe's ROM. Let us know. I'm not sure if it'll work, I'm CIDunlocked.

Do you think the same would apply if you Hex edited ARTE10000 to ARTE2000? Sily question, I know, but is that the only level of security that actually looks for model ID?

in o2 ger image its already ARTE***** so u dont need to change anything (it means it shoul work for arte100,110,1000,200 models maybe 300 as well - htc love) But this is looking only for ModelID, in ROmUpdate Util it checks somehow for ModelVendor/Operator - addr:x0003BA6C - password BsaD5SeoA

I also "BRICKED" my Orbit. I am also the impatient type. Why wait for O2 to release a ROM image? I have spoken with O2 directly. My friend even works for their technical division. As far as I have been able to find out, from friends and his friends at O2, there is NO O2-UK WM6 in the pipeline at the moment. Not enough users apparently. When I found out this I put my Orbit into O2 shop for repair. It was flashed under warranty as a software fault. I have since CID-unlocked it and flashed to WM6.
Absolutely amazing. WM5 to WM6 is night and day. So much faster and a lot nicer looking too.

My experience: O2 Orbit bought in CZ. My way was: CID unlock -> try-and-brick (...) -> German original O2 WM6 ROM (with bootloader) -> Arte WM6 from bepe.
I am very happy now (extremly stable!) and at this moment I do not plan even upgrade to a new ROM.
Btw solved the issue with localization (keyboard only - Resco works perfectly) and external keyboard support for my beloved iGo Sierra bluetooth keyboard: AE Keyboard mapping SW solved my needs

MY experiences
Being a corporate O2 customer, when I bricked my Orbit they sent me a new one and said I could do what I wanted with the old one.. it's still a brick, having tried every suggestion on this forum!!!
MY new one, however, is running Bepe's WM6, having run the USPL first.
I tried Black&Blue, but found it drained the battery too quickly, and I reall ydon't need all the extras it comes with. I've got Bepe's WM6 running brillianlty - all I add is a cracked version of TomTom 6.02, which runs perfectly, BatteryStatus purely for a power display, no overclocking needed, and TodayAgenda for improved calendar on Today.
I use push mail to connect to my office exchange server, and have all my personal mail ending up at fastmail.net, where I connect to using IMAP - deleting from the phone deletes properly on the IMAP server now, unlike on WM5, so you really can have a synchronised mailbox usin IMAP and a free account at Fastmail.net...
I also have JetwareMobile installed to enable me to use my Siemens HKW600 Car kit (£40 on ebay, superb!), and I have some Sony DR-BT30Q bluetooth headphones which work perfectly...

I have a CID LOCKED UK o2 Orbit. I ran the USPL program by Prof and then Bepe's WWE ROM.
worked fine and WM6 is great!

Yes, but that doesn't work if you've already bricked your Orbit

Does anyone happen to have a WM5 ROM to restore to if the WM6 goes horribly tits up - I'm not overly looking forward to the idea of not having the pride of the mobile fleet working... the humiliation!

Samsung i780 Official WM6.1 ROM Upgrade [Italy, Nordic, UK]

Has anyone tried the Official Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM Upgrade for the i780? It is found at thi link:
http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/i780/index.jsp
You can use "BVHF1" as the SGH-i780 Version. It also has a link for the samsung drivers for windows vista. Down below there is a button "View In Detail" beside [ Upgrade Instructions ], if you try to look at the screenshots, it says SHG-i780 6.1 OS Updater on the title bar.
According to some forums and reputable websites it is the official 6.1 upgrade for the i780 but the problem is it is only for Italy, Nordic and UK. I'm wondering if it is compatible with the asian versions of the i780. Is there a difference with the physical keyboard?
I guess it's not that important anymore since Windows Mobile 6.5 will be released sometime Q3/Q4 of this year. There are phones already manufactured for WM6.5 and pictures are already out in the internet. I'm not sure if it's legit but looks like they are. At least there's an official WM6.1 update for i780.

Wm6.1 upgrade
Hi
I tried this, but my version is DXHA1, its unbranded.
When io downloaded the software using your instrcution, and I ran it, it said incorrect version
Help

any idea when comes german version ?

Samsung i780 Official WM6.1 ROM
Ok, I called Samsung, its only for orange customers no one else

It is possible to flash Orange Rom
You have to Hex edit official rom with the country/operator specific code of your current rom. That way, when you are flashing Orange rom it will think that you have the future version of you current rom and it will not complaint.
Search forum. You may use Hxd (use this as a keyword for search) editor or another hex editor.
I used Orange rom for a while. It has improved battery life over V5X HH5 (EFN Rom) however no messenger and other preloaded goodies of v5x hh5.
BTW there is a newer (official) version than the orange rom. Just peek at newer threads.
alpusm

This is so lame
I bought mine unlocked off of expansys, and therefore the stupid update download tells me it's the wrong version. If I flash it with the Orange rom, will I have problems with sim locking or anything? I hope the installer doesn't have the same restrictions.
I can't believe I pay full price for a phone and get this sort of service.

No problem
You may flash with the Orange rom or never HL1 or HL2 rom. Updater is available here on forum for these roms. Like I said before you will need to hex edit rom files to be able to flash. Or, as an alternative, you may flash one of the "modded" versions of those roms (bin files) with mirage updater (mirage does not check any code), then update with the original updater because updater will think that you are upgrading from the same operatoır/country code.
BTW you wont have any problems with sim or device lock. Mine was a generic unbranded WWE rom and updated/tried all these roms and did now have any lock problems.

what version do i have
what does one mean by version? i have an unbranded one. are versions things like suppliers? tmobile o2 and stuff
cheers

I know this is old as heck but does this upgrade works for any Samsung i780? Or is it just for the Asian-Pacific i780? Thanks!

Hi all,
my version is i780jchb1 (south africa). Can I install the UK rom on it please??

My OS is in Danish so i tried the link and chose Nordic, then it wants me to put in the phone model, so i do that and then it takes me to the official samsung page (samsungmobile.com) where the only thing i can download is the manual and activesync for windows 2k/xp.

Windows mobile 6.5 upgrade

I see that HTC have made available a Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM for my TP2 on Orange UK.
I've upgraded the ROM before and have no problem with that, but two questions:-
1) What do people think to 6.5 - is it worth upgrading?
2) If I do upgrade and don't like it, can I use the last 6.1 upgrade file I have to 'downgrade' it back to what I have now?
Thanks.

There are stock and custom 6.1 ROM's on XDA if you ever decide to "downgrade". The decision and preference is all yours of course. There isn't a huge difference between the two.

Problem using HTC WM6.5 ROM with Rodium

I have essentially bad luck buying these phones. On my blackstone, i was able to work around it using USPL. Now, the rhodium i have, it's S/N doesn't work on any of the HTC download pages
i need help with diffusing the bootloader screen. What should i use to upgrade this phone to WM 6.5? I got the official rom from HTC in the end but can't use that cause i get "invalid vendor id".
Bootloader screen details:
Code:
RHOD100 32M SS-BC
SPL-0.79.0000
MicroP-Rhodium (LED) vA
MicroP-Rhodium (KEY) v4
TURBO HW/TURBO SW
TP MFG DATA
509,527 807,841
815,194 207,200
212,840 Calibrated

Why don't you just HardSPL and skip the s/n number hassle? You can still flash official ROMs with HardSPL, but you don't have to worry about which variant of the Rhodium the official ROM was made for (with the exception of the Russian ROM because of the region locking used). You can flash the stock HTC 6.5 ROM when you're HardSPLed or use one of the many excellent cooked ROMs this forum has to offer.

not actually my phone to hardspl cause it's my stepdad's. it's also the reason i need to use the offical
note: the phone is the 3g version

Where did you buy it from? try the HTC site from where you bought it from not where you are now, if no luck than you have to HARDSpl it, .. and BTW .. if you HARDSpl and installed an official ROM, the phone will be relocked to my knowledge (i.e. it is like you never HARDSpl after you install the official ROM)

Can you do something for us? Pull out the battery and look closely under where the battery was for the text RHODXXX, where XXX is a number like 100. Post that number here, and we can figure out what model of Rhodium you have, since there is no "3G Rhodium" model. It only really depends whether you have a CDMA-GSM hybrid or GSM only device, since HardSPL (if you want to use it) differs in versions based on that alone. The link I provided earlier in this thread holds all the information you'll need to know about HardSPLing your device (once again, only if you choose to do so). At least knowing your model number will let you know which HTC official ROM to download.

has this line under the BT symbol: HTC Touch Pro2 T7373 RHOD100
the phone connects to the optus 3G network. it has the HSPDA icon when your browsing on the net

Nice to see a fellow Aussie around. As far as I now there are two versions of the Rhodium floating around in Oz. Only one of which has an official WM 6.5 rom on the HTC website. The NextG 850mHz compatible model is still waiting for an official 6.5 rom to be released but Telstra and HTC are apparently working on it.
From the HTC website:
An updated ROM is now available for HTC Touch Pro2 users to download. As always, HTC is committed to providing customers with the best possible mobile experience. Please note that there are two versions of Touch Pro2 in Australia, and this ROM update is suitable for phones operating on the 900/2100 MHz network. ROM update for phones on the Next G network will be available soon.

Hope this helps

i just found out the S/N worked on the Malaysian site (says South East Asia at the top). So i'm downloading that now.
should fix some things up in it. i had the feeling the phone was imported because the power adapter travel plug was not the 3-prong for aussieland
