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...............

I ve just flash Duttys roms which has a radio 1.65.14.06
mine had 1.27.12.11 before the upgrade
do i have to flash back my radio 1.27.12.11 or doe,nt it matter, if someone can please explain
thank you

nope u don't need to .. plus it won't work as that is a wm6 radio
Thanks thesire for fast reply
one more question if i flashed a dutty`s diffent rom with a diffent radio would that make any diffence
thanks again
pretty much all of dutty's roms include a radio that is compatible with that rom and also dutty typically lists any radio that won't work with rom.
if the radio that came with rom isn't working well for u in ur region than i suggest flashing a different radio.
just beaware there is a radio out their that locks itself to ur device meaning it won't let u upgrade or downgrade from it unless u use a program by jockyw called frankenkaiser.
thanks again for fast reply thesire
Wow i did,nt know that thanks for the info just getting use to this flashing rom
if i flash another dutty rom can i just flash it over it or would i need to downgrade or not am just open to install any rom no matter what version like windows 6 and windows 6.1
thanks again

Yeah 1.65.17.10 at&t original radio aka the radio from hell... although Jocky has tamed the beast...
as long as u have hardspl flashed to ur device u can upgrade/downgrade between wm6 roms and wm6.1 roms.
just to avoid conflicts though always hard reset ur device after a rom flash.
Thanks to all for reply

Here's another simple question from a relative noob:
I've read so much out there about radios, but I want to try some of the new 6.1 ROMs out there but am not sure about which radios would be compatible with my AT&T Tilt. I'm currently on the 1.27.14.09 and in cowardly fashion have tried the ROMs built for this one, are there specific radios that I should be looking at that will be compatible? I saw the wiki on kaiser radios, but they don't factor in the 6.1's yet.
any info/clarification is very much appreciated.

yup, that clarified it....feel rather foolish as I'd seen and read that... so if I'm understanding the whole radio subject, of those 6.1 AT&T compatible radios, it's just a matter of finding the one that gives me 1) no issues, and 2) the best reception, etc. And this is just a matter of experimentation....
Good grief, so much to learn, so many ROMs to try.... hmmm, working from home and playing with ROMs, is it surprising that I'm having a tough time getting anything done????
Just one last question....
I switched from the AT&T 1.27 radio to the 1.65 (as noted below). Last Tuesday I sent a couple of text messages and left two voice mails and none of the txt msgs were received and the vm's took almost three days to be delivered.
Would this just be an issue of the area I was in (Denver, CO) that week (I live in Nevada) or could this be a radio issue?
Thanks for any input/insight..... I LOVE THIS PLACE!

Many thanks omaga, already looked and the closest was Official test 1.28.405.1 HTC ROM from xda-ftp. Not sure about using a test ROM.
My version 1.28.405.3 WWE.
There was a program i came across for the artemis to dump a ROM from it straight to the memory card, but can't remember where I saw it.
Cheers anyway.
I also need the original 1.28.405.3 WWE ROM for my Touch Cruise. Has anyone got it?
I "upgraded" the radio to a newer verson (old was 1.58, new was 1.64) and ever since then, my GSM reception has gone bad. Calls drop out, and I get maximum 2 bars reception. When wifi is on, it kills the GSM reception.
I downgraded the radio back to the original (1.58.21.23) but the problem persists. I even put the original SPL on there (so no more HardSPL) but still no luck. Even a hard reset didn't fix it.
Any suggestions?
I downloaded the WM6 rom from the HTC site, but that's an older version (1.25.405.1).
1.28.457.2 WM6 rom
I use this. This according to me newer and better. This is a fast and stable version.
Why is this not rather good for you?
I have an unlocked AT&T Tilt, although I am a T-Mobile subscriber. Everything is working, except I hate the ROM that came with the phone when I bought it...I think it's a DCS rom. Anyway, I don't understand the whole thing about Radios... I would like to try Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700 ROM, but I don't think I have the right version of the Radio? Here's what my device information screen says:
ROM version: DCSv1.7-WM6.1 WWE
ROM date: 02/19/08
Radio version: 1.70.OliNex
Protocol version: 25.65.30.04H
I have checked and HardSPL is installed, but I don't see anything about my radio being compatible. Can I use Dutty's Rom? HELP!!
TIA!

A radio is the driver to some of the hardware, camera/GPS/sound etc. Usually each ROM lists atleast one compatable radio. Some ROM's flash a radio with the ROM.
If you install a ROM and it doesn't work, just use the suggested radio (or search the ROM thread, there will be suggestions in there, I'm sure) and flash that in the same way you flashed the ROM.

I see. So the radio version listed in my device information is just the version of the radio "driver" software. Thank you for your help, I think I understand now.

I'd try a new radio, I've not heard of 1.7.OliNex before.
OliNex == OliPro + cmonex, but I think that's thier polaris radio, not a kaiser one, and I have never seen anyone with it on a kaiser.
I found one post on google, someone had it on a kaiser and was having problems.

That radio is used to SIM / CID unlock your phone. You must use that radio to run Olipro's SIM / CID unlock process. It's a modified radio.

Dutty actually has two version of this ROM. One that works w/ different versions of radios. Check the Ultimate Radio Thread to see which one works with which one or check Dutty's thread concerning that specific ROM.

Don't you usually have to flash another radio after the SIM/CID unlocking ones to make your phone work again? That's the case with Jocky's anyhow?

I bought the phone unlocked like this about two months ago and it's been working (aside from some notification queue problems), so I guess not!
I think the Dutty rom includes a compatible radio, so I'm just gonna try flashing it and see what happens. I can always flash a new radio separately, right?

Yeah you do have to flash another Radio. But Some people don't. Why? I think you and I both know why.
Hello,
I have recently bought a AT&T Tilt, and would like to flash to the current Offcial HTC WM 6.1 ROM.
I have done alot of reading in the wiki here and various FAQ threads and what not. But i am still a bit confused with a few things.
I have read the ROM Flashing faq and Intro here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
And i understand all that.
I also undestand that i need the Key board fix from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911
But thats not hard.
I went here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
I checked my device and the rom currently on it is the AT&T WM6.0 1.57.502.2 Original Shiped Rom.
I figured, being in Australia, i would need rom that had WWE as the country? So i downloaded the "RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship" rom. Is this an appropriete ROM for what i want?
BUT Its all this stuff about SPL's and what not that is confusing me.
My Tilt is SIM unlocked because i am using it on the Telstra network here in Australia. But im not sure if i have to change SPL's or not and if so, which spl i need and how to change it?
It would be greatly appreciated if someone was able to help me understand this SPL bussiness, because i really dont want to dive straight in a risk my device. I have done a fair bit of reading and i'm a fairly competent computer user so it won't take me long to learn.
Thanks in advance,
eMiller
you have to CID unlock it. this involves flashing the device with HardSPL then running a unlocker program. (this is what i know from Hermes, so i don't know if it is exactly the same on Tilt). It breaks the warranty though, so think first, then jump
by the way, you should try a cooked rom. in my experience, HTC roms are not that good, except for getting a stable radio. get the radio, then get a new OS rom, like hang.tuah or something.

Try this one:

Look for the Zip file at the very bottom of the screen this hard spl will let you flash any rom (follow the instructions the spl gives you exactly and dont get nervous if it appears stiuck for a bit), just make sure you know which ROM you really want to flash at the end
.
Again same stuff.
Guys, when you gonna learn to read everything which is realted to your device when you want to do something?
Everything is in Wiki, everything you need is posted in ROM threads.
Come on GUYS!
read the f**** wiki. you need hardspl. its not that hard to figure out if your not an imbisel
@joel2009: That is a little harsh. Also, if you're going to call someone an imbecile, you should probably spell it right.
@eMiller12 (fellow noob): I don't know if I would bother with the HTC ROM, I just flashed it and I am finding a few really annoying bugs... Read Jocky's STICKY post about the HardSPLs to learn how to flash one. It really is quite simple--and it's unlikely that you're going to brick your device, so no worries.
Hey FireMedic, thanks for understanding.
I have read through the Wiki a fair bit, i was just unsure which versions of hardSPL etc where best for the [email protected] Tilt inparicular. But i will just use this one that vorostatz recomended if that is the best one for the tilt.

We are not all senior members. I can fully understand the guys wish not to turn his expensive device into a paperweight. Ease up eh?
search forums using google (at top right)
yeah, exactly... I was pretty scared to hardspl when I first started.
Hardspl 3.29 seems to be the best one, check my signature after you've read the hardspl sticky.
From what I understand, a rom flash might try to write a different spl which is obviously bad. hardspl prevents this.
If you ever need to, you can undo it. Kyphur explains in the hardspl sticky how to change them, by running a program named jumpspl 1.56 (on your device) with your sim and sd cards out and then flashing the spl normally.
Just make sure you follow directions for your device and try different roms.
Good luck and feel free to ask questions, even if some of the people here have heard them way too often.

Actually the WWE (World Wide English) one seems to be used more in Europe and this side of the world. For down-under, they use SEA South East Asia versions. There are issues with ROM compatibility in Australia specifically (at least in the WM 6.0 days) so if you want to know the best official WM 6.0 and 6.1 ROMs, short of searching for what setups Australian xda-dev forum members are using, you could look at the devices on sale in the shops. If you're wanting WM 6.1 just to have the latest and greatest, think again and have a look at the Windows Mobile 6 vs. Windows Mobile 6.1 thread.
***Edit*** Also note that there are two Australian specific ROMs in the WM 6.0 section of the Kaiser HTC ROM wiki
