sorry

Ahh, you got my hopes up then!!! lol
I heard a fairly good rumour stating that it would be released (the new ROM, that is) by end of May...that was either just a rumour or, as is usually the case, just typically another o2-style deadline.
I keep checking in the vain hope of not seeing that "IDENTICAL" bit but so far I've been disappointed.

Yup there is, or so I heard. Whether or not it will happen soon though is another question.

T-Mobile SDA (US) AKU2 update: Where is it????

As I've patiently waited for this update, I've noticed everyone else's carriers releasing this update, but nothing from T-Mobile USA yet, unless I've missed something. Has anyone heard anything about this? :?:

i called them recently and got a tech that was willing to answer that question. he told me "sometime before september".
sucks huh?

SEPTEMBER?????
Man, they've got to get their act together!
Thanks for the info.

I've talked with people inside of T-Mobile who are responsible for this sort of testing, and it's not even on their radar yet. Maybe we'll get lucky, but T-Mobile normally waits a very long time before releasing updates.

I sent an email to HTC customer support two days ago and I got a reply stating they are not even working on the ROM anymore because T-mobile has decided they don't want to support the MSFP upgrade on the SDA.
There is no emoticon to describe how I feel

oohh that is really sad
that was seen to come... 2 months have passed since the cingular's update...

I still have hope that the updated ROM with UMA support
however, I changed ROM to Dopod one, works prefectly

I got a Nokia N73, the SDA was always "searching...."

Just got off the phone with HTC!!!!!

According to Htc, and *****ing at their managers for an hour, I came to find out that they are currently working on a rom update for the Tytn II/Kaiser/Tilt to be released before mid febuary
-------------------------------------
In my opionion this is way to long!!!
----
They also said they cannot release any more details, although the only reason it is taking so long is because that they are trying to fix multiple things not just the video issues and they are trying to put them all into one package instead of having 10 different packages at once.

nice, thanks for the info.
i'll keep an eye out.

any more details, wm 6.1, gpu driver???

yup. do u have more details? or where we can find details about it?
(in my concern, they said me that they will send me an email when new updates are available )

Hey if they said they are working on a new rom update, that is WONDERFUL news!!!!!

Not to sceptical but...
Not to be downplaying the situation...but I will believe when I see it.

If its 6.1 ill crap myself.
If its 6.01* ill tell you all 'I told you so'
*6.01 meaning just a rom update, not an OS update

I believe they will release an updated ROM for the Kaiser, but I don't think it will solve the video driver issue.
HTC seems to ignore anything about this issue, and said they won't fix it.
However, I hope I'm just wrong and they do release a fix!

doubtful..

I dont care if it's 6.0 or 6.1 as long as the significant issues are fixed, like video drivers, laggy touch screen, freezing for 3 or 4 seconds at a time, PIE lag, and crappy camera.

rant
It really sucks that we are holding a powerful phone but cant use its true power, its just like owning a ferrari enzo and not being able to drive above 25mph. Maybe they wont fix it and just release a new phone with everything working and calling it tytn 3 with the same inside but a new case.

Sent a mail to HTC, will see what they will reply as to what the situation is. I hope for video driver fix at all!

Ahu..We will see..

yaaaay. cant wait.

look forward to upgrade
i hope they put their backs into it.. tired of this video issues...

I called HTC Middle East Support ; and they confirmed that they do not know this issue ? !! and I think they are not understanding what we are talking about !!

Maybe they will do it like Nokia and release a Tytn IIi and let the customer pay for fixing the Tytn II
edit: Oh and did I mention the Tytn IIi will come in a new color? Uh will definately get that one ;-)
(yeah, I'm a former Nokia N95 owner)

seeing is believing.. don't get your hopes up

Well lets just hold thumbs that it might just be 6.1 !

I hope they take care of the #$*@$!!$^@(!!!!! low bluetooth volume.

dont be mean but...

this is my first ever post and i have a feeling it may piss a few people off. i have a tytn II in the uk on orange and i want to upgrade to 6.1. Ive rang orange and they said they havent got a clue of the new update so keep an eye on htc.com
since there was no update there i went to microsofts site and there was a page showing all of the features of the new upgrade but no download button. and it didnt say 6.1 was on its way they said it was here. (on the page)
im assuming ive now made a very redundant thread as i didnt read any post beforehand. but please dont be mean to me
could please update me availability as to were i can get the official 6.1 rom
thank you jayjay

There is no OFFICIAL 6.1 rom. Just test and cooked roms.

oh ok then so why are microsoft advertising this as a release when its an up and coming
it diffenatley says 6.1 has arrived

I think Microsoft are done with the rom but not HTC or the operators.

No official ROM with WM6.1 is released as of this moment.
It depends on your OEM (Orange I guess) whether you will get an official WM6.1 update.
HTC has promised they will release a new ROM based on WM6.1 (and it will include something of a driver or stuff...). But it is intended for original unbranded HTC devices. It will be released later (this month?).
If you would really want WM6.1, the best option is to flash a cooked ROM. Most recent ones are WM6.1 based.
Don't look at Microsoft for ROM upgrades, that's not their duty.

does that mean they wont be letting it go from there website until htc has started releasing it, what about the uk operaters

Correct. MS will NOT release a WM 6.1 ROM for anyone to download and install. Only the phone vendors (HTC, Orange, AT&T) release such ROMS.

The release of WM6.1 by Microsoft was a Release-To-Manufacturer (RTM) event. Ofcourse Microsoft puts this information on their site. It isn't really their intention of teasing you (I presume at least).
I takes some time for the OEMs to finalize a ROM with WM6.1. That's why there is a time interval between the MS announcement and the actual release.
What about UK operators? No idea...

cool so does anyone have the date of the release are is it speculation up until now, all of the websites i am reading say that htc will be releasing the rom mid may

No one really knows. If we did, everyone would have been really happy. HTC had promised a while ago they would be releasing a fix for the graphics problem somewhere near the end of March. It was never released.
Although I have all confidence in HTC and the sites reporting the impending ROM release, we'll never know the exact release date until the ROM is released.
If it's really such a big deal for you, start flashing!

well it does but my major issue is
a) i dont kno how to do it
b) will over write all my data
c) will it take away all my presets and settings
d) will invalidate my warranty
e) i thort microsoft were trying to take all the roms down

and last nite i seen a youtube clip of a person with a windows mobile 6.1 rom on a tytn II is this american

He was probably using a custom ROM...
Regarding your issues:
a) There is really enough info on this site which clearly explanes how to do it. It should be no problem really.
b) It will indeed reset all your settings and data. Some programs are designed to back up some of your data. Pim Backup is an example which backs up your PIM data.
c) see b)
d) It does, but it can be reverted. There is a thread regarding the issue.
e) Than enjoy it while you still can...

like someone said, there are leaked roms on this site, they're not official, but over here, that's plenty official enough for us
most of your questions can be answered by reading the first sticky in the forum, and/or the wiki, which i advise you to do so. once you are done with that, you will understand this rom upgrading process a lot more

imo cooked roms by chefs here at xda r so much better than oem roms so i don't even know why u would want the oem ..

does mean the eventual official rom will delete all the stuff too
im just pissed off coz with the programs ive got running ive got the best setup ive had
i used freestyl but there was too many bugs so now i use ifonz and s2u2
ive got all my cabs backed up tho which is good
my poroblems with my micro sd are worst
bought a 6gb micro sdhc off amazon, which only showed up as 1.69 gb after researching i got theat pnanasonic formatter thingy and then it worked fine, then it just stopped working. ive got a claim in with amazon to get the money back
still dont know wether it was a fake or not

Make no mistake, upgrading any ROM will completly reset your device.
If you would ever start flashing, there are tools which allow automated installations of CABs. In that way, you can get your device up and running in a very short period of time.
Tools that come to mind ar UC (user customization) and the tools provided by XDA-member Bengalih.
Better luck next time with your microSDHC card...

i just hope it get resolved

does anyone kno the telltale signs of a fake micro sdhc. apart from the fact that it ceases to work after a while. it came in the origional packet

if it works once you probably don't have a fake, you may need to reformat the sdhc, also a lot of older roms have issues with sdhc. On your original note, jump in man the cooked roms are great. Google xda pim backup, download pim backup and backup your stuff (or just use activesync), Use Olipro to safeguard your device, and then flash a cooked rom, I recomend Dutty's April 29, read the wiki before you flash, your phone will become so much more useful, give it a try.

HTC OZONE will not be getting 6.5?

Hello *********************,
I can understand how important it is to know if you will have a Windows Mobile 6.5 update available for your Ozone on October 6, 2009. I will be more than happy to assist you with the information that you are requesting. Unfortunately, there will not be a Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade for the Ozone on October 6, 2009. Currently, I have no information indicating that Verizon has requested a ROM update be made for the Ozone. If Verizon requests that HTC make a ROM upgrade for the Ozone, HTC will begin developing a Windows Mobile 6.5 upgrade. Verizon will work in cooperation with us to develop the ROM upgrade for the Ozone. This process can take a couple of weeks to several months.
Thank you so much for contacting HTC. If you have any other questions, feel free to contact us again. You can find additional support at our user forum www.htcwiki.com. There is also a customer satisfaction survey for you to take if you are interested.

well i dont know which to believe, that letter was a response from HTC's support to my question asking if it would be available for the ozone.

In the end its up to Verizon
If we break it down Microsoft and HTC are saying it is completely possible to do a 6.5 upgrade but it'll be up to Verizon to make it happen.

Read this PC magazine article. I guess WM 6.5 will not come to the Ozone until "early november".

I had actually got the same reply from my inside HTC Guy a month or so back:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4347515&postcount=9
I still don't feel that the Sprint Snap will be getting an offical upgrade, but if Microsoft says so... haha i don't trust them anymore than i can toss my own mother.

well, I guess there are prerelease ozone roms floating out there that Verizon is making, but thus far nobody was willing to share them - considering that Verizon could fire the person. I hope that somehow one will be leaked either on torrents or something, as my ozone has been bricked for a month now and the USB port on my q9m just broke. So I have no way of charging it

I work for VZW.
There WILL be an official 6.5 ROM for it.
There is a very buggy pre-realease available internally now.
I have used it (no - I can't send it to you - don't ask) and switched back to 6.1
That is how buggy it was.
No ETA on a new build.
I check my internal sources everyday for updates.
Just as frustrated as all of you.

Thanks for the heads up. I look forward to the new rom.
I'm happy Verizon is willing to update the pre-6.5 released phones at all.
Be well Brent.

Report on the VZW ROM above...
Hey Folks,
Coming over to Win Mobile from the Blackberry side and just picked up my Ozone a couple of weeks ago. I always had luck flashing my Berries with leaked ROMS so I figured I'd give it a whirl here too
Keep in mind that I am not the power user that most of you guys are!
The flashing process itself was pretty quick and painless. No bumps along the way there - I just followed the instructions of the installer.
Speed is pretty good so far although it seems to be a hair more laggy than 6.1. It has not been detrimental to using it so far though.
Stability seems really good. I think that VZW is coming down to the final version of the 6.5 upgrade and this release shows it.
Program compatibility - Internet Explorer's viewability is messed up and has been useless to me since the upgrade. I have been using Skyfire instead for my default browser. (BTW, IE does have an Active X toggle in its menus - I have tried it on and off but didn't see a difference). Also, Calendar 2 from SBSH has problems with repeating dates on 6.5 for some reason. I have seen no other issues beyond those 2 programs.
Changes? Honesty, I don't see much so far...It says 3g instead of EVDO on the network indiactor icon, there is a basic customize homescreen program included, there is a MS App store download icon included.
Bottom line: I'll continue to use this ROM (well I am kind of forced too since I don't have a stock 6.1 to revert to LOL) until the officall release (and again, I think they are getting pretty close). However, those of you with 6.1 don't feel like you are missing out on anything but NOT trying this one out...I really don't see that many improvements at all. I am kind of underwhelmed actually.
Hope this is a help!

Been waiting for that above VZW Rom For 2 Months!!!
I can verify that the above Rom upgraded to WM6.5 for Verizon. Fixed my rainbow colored Ozone with bad SPL flash!!! YAY! Please sticky this thread as the Ozone finally has a signed ROM!!!!

Thanks, very cool. Going to flash as soon as my battery charges ;-)
Hate to be picky, but can you upload it to another site (mediafire, megaupload, etc.) as rapidshare is "overwhelmed" and I can't get the file. If not, no biggy.

Just upgraded to this rom. Been having an issue where the phone likes to go from programs to the home screen a lot. Happens across all programs. An example is loading up skyfire once the loading bar gets to about 100% the phone goes to the home screen. The programs don't fail or anything, but it's a really annoying problem. Anyone else having this issue?
