Hi there.
I recently bought a XDA IQ (similar to SP5) with a O2 Rom.
THe version is 2.0.11.0
Without having done anymodification, the phone was Sim-unlocked : I tried with my orange Sim card and it works.
But I had to app-unlock the phone using the registry modification method, it works as well. I had installed WM5torage without problem.
Now I want to know if I change the Rom version, will the phone still be Sim-unlocked ?
If yes, what is the more stable (official) version for it ? (same question with the WM6 Rom, will my cellphone become sim-locked after flashing ?)
I don t want to have to use Spvservice.exe cause it doesn t work with wndows vista.
Thank you for your help.
David
None of the ROMs here are "official". In terms of stability I have tried ROM from andot and jm012a9749 and found andot's rom to be more stable as most of the bugs are fixed now (they are both based on the same ROM, just two variations). And once you flash the ROM it will be sim and app unlocked.
Personally I've found that the i-mate SP5 AKU2 ROM is the most stable OFFICIAL ROM, available here: ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
Also, changing the ROM doesn't affect your SIM Lock...

Thank you for you answer.
On the I-Mate site, there is different files, what is the latest ROM ?
Thanks

Hi, I'm new to updating ROM's....
I want to update my S710 from its original ROM version 1.15.405.2 to the one i found on the site: RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.
My radio version is 4.1.13.37_02.83.90. Can I use this update on my phone or not? Does the radio version's need to match?
Thanks

You should have no problem using this ROM to update your S710 as I used that ROM for a short while when it first came out, I then moved oveer to Dr. Gonzo's New Guava ROM, and I am now using his WM6.1 ROM, been using it since his first test ROM came out and I am now using his latest WM6.1 v1.0a ROM.
Roland
Roland, simple question. What is the advantage of upgrading ROM's? Newer features? Faster software? Just curious I guess. I just got my 710 and wondering whats the buzz with all this rom and 6.1 stuff. Thanks!

@ Polarbair
To have the latest on your Vox offcourse.
Just like Rolandh I have updated my Vox with the WM6.1 rom from Doc. Gonzo.
And the new features and the increased stability are great.
Futher more I noticed the response of the software in some areas is better.
So all pro's and little con's.
Chong
The official HTC WM6 Update added a Network Setup Wizard and Office 6.1 to the ROM. Dr. Gonzo's WM6.1 adds Threaded SMS, New Internet Explorer Mobile with the ability to set your own Homepage, a better Home/Today Screen and some extra apps that Dr. G has added and is more responsive and a little bit more stable than WM6, and as Chongie says to have the lates version of WM on you Vox aswell.
Roland
Having only added Gregory's HTC plugin to this phone, if I wanted to add Dr. G's WM6.1, what is the proper way to do so? Is there some precautions I need to take first?
Not much precautions
Hi,
There is not much precautions to take, apart from taking backup of your contacts, that is and making sure that there is battery backup to your PC, so that the update process is not interrupted. Because once you update the ROM, all your data will be erased. Its like formatting your hard disk drive. If your vox is network locked (mine was not) then you need to unlock the phone first. If you download Dr G's latest ROM, then you will find out how to do it (there is a step by step guide that comes with it).
Honestly, if you followed the guide, there is hardly any chance of screwing up. And once you start using the 6.1 ROM, you will surely wonder how the hell could you ever have used the original ROM that came with HTC Vox
Wow, appreciate the awesome explanation! Thanks! As far as locked or unlocked, I'm assuming its unlocked. Bought it off Ebay, stuck my sim card from t-mobile in it, turned it on and worked like a charm! Have heard the term "bricking" phone, which i'm assuming means locking it up, correct? Since I wasnt the original owner, are there certain "codes" or info off the phone i need to get first? You know, like some software info or phone specific info?
Thanks again and am looking forward to upgrading this slow pig that wont update windows!
Off to back up contacts now, lol...............

Hi all,
just bought my kaiser, i was previously using blueangel so i have some idea about how to upgrade.
since i'm new to this section and been trying to access wiki but i can't, just need someone to point me to the latest or "best radio rom" so far, a link would be much appreciated.
here's my ROM info.
ROM: 1.81.415.4 WWE (original shipped ROM)
ROM date: 10/29/07
Radio Version: 1.27.15.32
Protocol Version 22.51.88.13H
thanks guys
All depends on the ROM you decide to download too...
if your going with the newest 209 or 213 rom you need a 1.65 radio but not the 1.65.17 RADIO
Matter of opinion. I am using 1.65.14.06 and love it

There are a couple of stock radios to be found on the forum. mostly 1.27.x.x
be sure to read about HardSPL.
the thing to keep in mind about radios is that wm6 radios work w/ wm6 only and wm6.1 radios work w/wm6.1 only. if u want to keep ur stock rom (wm6) than any wm6 radio will be fine. like abov poster said make sure u get hardspl first be4 u do any flashing also be careful as there are some radios that lock u meaning once u flash it u can't change it ...
unless u r security unlocked.
being new to kaiser i would highly recommend a complete read of kaiser wiki.
peace,
sire
Hi !!
I am seeking some advise from the learned....
I had recently flashed my VOX to Dr. Gonzo's W6.1 ROM .. just browsing thru' the threads in the Forum......I found out that my Radio Version is 4.1.13.37_02.83.90... and I found out many Later or newer versions of Radios being discussed here.....Does it make a difference that my Radio version is perhaps old but the ROM is WM6.1 ???
Will changing the Radio Version improve my device's performance ??
Also I was thinking to upgrading to the MonaLisa ROM ...will that Upgrade the Radio Version also ???
If not then how can I upgrade the Radio version of my device ???
Will it be beneficial with the Latest WM6.1 ROM's ??
Hoping for some insight....
thanxxx
you only need to upgrade radio if youve problems with battery drains to fast signals too weak and liek taht
you flash like the roms M)
