I just received an update for my Desire over the air. The new version number is 1.20.207.3. Does anybody know what is contained within, or where I can find details on it? HTC.com doesn't seem to have anything.
http://www.smartphonegurus.com/forums/index.php?/topic/10431-o2-go-live-with-htc-desire/
Something to do with this?
Seems to be, thanks for point that our to me ritdaw. Interestingly enough I am not an O2 customer, although this seems to be an unlocked O2 phone. I bought it direct from a shop without a contract, and originally though it was just an HTC Desire, not an O2 HTC Desire.
However, my provider is a mvno who piggy-backs on the O2 network. Maybe this explains how the phone was able to contact the O2 update server?
I bought a sim-free desire and put an o2 simplicity card in it. Not had any update though
edit. wrong thread sorry.

That's cause the update isn't for your unit - it's likely to be an o2 FW update
EDIT: also has the current radio as well...there is a 1.21 WWE ROM out now for generic handsets and is also the base for MoDaCo's ROMs (which I'm using)

Does anyone know whether it is possible to install the O2 updated ROM on an range SPV-M5000? On attempting I get the dreaded ERROR 120 Country ID error.
Thanks

hi
whats up with the radio rom version on this update???
1.03??? thats so 2005!!!
I've just completed the update and my first impresions are good.
My earlier issues thought to be radio ( delay in ringing, poor signal etc ) seam to be no more with this update.
Hiya all,
Does anyone know if I can use the Orange SPV-M5000 ROM update on my T-Mobile MDA-Pro (and get rid of the T-Mobile simlock )
Thanks!
Yes you can use it on your MDA but you will not get rid of your sim lock

Bummer.... :? just hoped it would be simlocked for Orange then 8)
Just wondering if the phone has been unlocked would updating to this new ROM re-lock it? Is it worth updating to this ROM, I have 1.13.49 WWE.
No I don't think so from what I have read and understand the program that decides the simlock has nothing to do with your OS ROM. But as I have mentioned in previous posts I think the I-mate Rom is so much quicker than the Orange rom.
I have a 24 months UK warranty with orange just wondering will upgrading to the imate rom void the warranty? Should I stick with orange to keep the warranty?
Cheers
I think you will void your warranty by upgrading to imate ROM. However if you download the Orange ROM also if there is a problem with your handset you could always put that back on. I have had my M5000 about 5 months and it already has been through 4 ROM updates to find the best. If the worst happens when you update your ROM give HTC europe a call. Someone in an earlier thread said they charge £40 to reflash for you.
Having already used the O2 XDA, O2 XDAII and the O2 XDAIIs I have been spoilt by O2's ROM updates via their own website.
The problem I have is that by changing to Vodafone I now have no facilities via the Vodafone website to do the same. How do you update your ROM if you have a Vodafone V1640?
Would appreciate your comments

If you love O2, you can flash the O2 ROM onto your Vodafone Device without problems.
Just use the search button on how this is done.
Thank you. I am a little concerned that the O2 ROM will erase my Vodafone settings as well as conflict with Vodafone protocols. I understand that the ROMs will have the same Microsoft Mobile 5 updates but also embedded are the phone company's unique settings and addional programs.
Do you know whether Vodafone issue ROM updates and if so how do you obtain them?
Thank you for your help and assistance
Why do you want to change the rom, (is there problems with the vodafone Rom) and what other programs are on the Vodafone Rom that you would loose.
As for settings you can enter all settings anyway into any rom as far as I know.
There is nothing wrong with the current ROM. I just want to stay up to date. New ROMs normally (and I say this tongue in cheek) have improved facilities.
The O2 site does not allow my V1640 (or in the O2 case XDA Exec) to be updated by their ROM as the IMEI does not tally up as being an O2 valid product.
I guess it's back to the drawing board for my quest.
just add the number 3 right before the .html and even if u dont have a correct imei, you can access the site of O2
Thank you. I will give that a try.
Will it erase all my Vodafone settings?
All Hard Resets / Full ROM Upgrades erase everything. I believe some roms have CAB files with operator settings. Download the Imate ROM, Install, then look for the VODAFONE .CAB file in the extended ROM, copy it to PC, then Upgrade to O2 ROM then run the CAB file that you copied to the PC
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!
I took delivery today of a HTC P3600 refereed to here as an Trinity. system details are:
OS 5.1465 (build 15763.3.31)
ROM version 1.23.405.2
ROM date 03/11/07
radio version 1.38.00.11
protocol version 32.71 7020 12w
ext ROM version 1.23.405.108
model TRN100
This Came from Vodafone UK and is packaged in a HTC P3600 box with no mention of Vodafone anywhere on the box or in the documentation apart from welcome to network paperwork and Vodafone Sim card. I have registered it on the HTC website and it seems happy with the serial number taken from the box and informs of upgrades I can download.
As I am porting my old number in a few days, I put my "3" network Sim in it and to my surprise it worked and appears to be a unlocked handset. It was also supplied in black in spite of me trying to get it in black and being told it was only available in silver. The only Vodafone on on it is it shows the Vodafone screen as it boots up.
As yet I have not put in the new Vodafone Sim and I don't know if when I do this the handset will then be locked to to Vodafone.
I would like to upgrade to mobile 6 and wonder if it is safe to do so before I put the Vodafone Sim in.
Can anyone tell me if this handset is locked to or likely to become locked to Vodafone and what are you recommendations on upgrading to mobile 6.
I have a UK MDA Compact IV running the official 1.37 rom, I have read through some of the threads posted here that some users were getting back their UK MDA Compact IV's from repair center with the new Tmobile 1.93 roms flashed on there. I was hoping there was a dump of this rom somewhere? Tmobiles UK site doesn't even have the phone listed in the support section! Any help would be appreciated.
it'd be nice to have this as well, as you said, t-mobile lack any kind of support or mentioning of the phone on the site
Strange, in the past 2 weeks ive bought 2 MDAC's (one for me and one for the missus) and both came with 1.37.
T-Mobile UK reply
Just read this thread and there answer that I received from T-Mobile UK about update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443465
= (
Yeah uk t-mobile is so behind the other countries t-mobile
My MDA went in for repair for camera fault and came back with 1.93 (and still had the camera fault) they have now given me a replacement phone with 1.37.
The short while I had 1.93 it seemed much quicker than this so would also be interested in the new one if any one has it?
Also spoke to T-mobile they replied with "Not aware of any update" most helpful.
My wifes T-MO compact IV went in for a screen repair, came back repaired looking brand new (same IMEI), but it had the 1.93 rom and 1.00.25.16 radio ROM on it. Yet my new handset came with 1.37 ROM and 1.00.25.03 radio ROM.
Tmobile official "German update" is avalaible throu download from t-mobile.de
think its the same for your MDA version its 1.97 already, also 1.93 is avail !
So try your t-mobile site -> Buisness center -> support / Downloads -> select you MDA Vendor select "t-Mobile". There you should get Official update, no need of an HardSPL and no warranty lost.
Also when i go to tmobile shop i can get them to update my device cost free here in germany, normaly takes them 3-4 hours then you can get ur device back
Is it possible to change the language of a stock ROM? i.e. Update to the latest German Compact IV ROM then change the language to English?

Nope I guess not. Besides that every language has it's own Manila-version so if you were able to change the system language there would still be the german manila.
i ve tried the german update and even though i have
no idea how to cook a rom and i can imagine that
this is really hard and time consuming work i really
think pupils on the lowest school grade could have
made it much better than tmobile. its that much laggu
that its realy not funny using this rom. but for
suppprt and warrenty i agree it might be usefull
having an original rom
Yeah, we just need one of the lucky few who actually get their phones back with the uk 1.93 rom to dump it for us.
I dont know why T-Mobile UK are dragging their heels. They hardly ever issue new ROMs. Vodafone UK have issued not one but two ROM updates for their Diamond.
After Sales Support at T-Mobile UK = "Get a new phone"
Even T-Mob.cz have a new ROM.
T-Mob UK want to force people to resort to illegal ROM updates.
If any T-Mob UK execs read this forum..... Please wake up and support the people who are bringing in your bread and butter
