I guess if you have a Touch Cruise, and not a UK O2 branded XDA you'll have to go to the HTC site
That is correct, the HTC branded devices have different firmware to the o2 branded devices. You can obtain that from the HTC website.

Orbit 2 WM6.1 ROM
Loaded it today!
A couple of nice tweaks but I still feel the os needs a major revamp which will hopefully come with WM7.0.
I'm not a big stylus user and a couple of things really bug me, especially the silly little 'x' to close windows in the top right of the screen.
Whenever I'm in the Comms Manager and want to close the thing I seem to keep turning on 'airplane mode' rather than hitting the 'x' button because they're so close to each other!
I still think the device is the best out there though.
just wondering if anyone else has found this problem at som points my orbit will freeze and then start reacting like 10 seconds later.
This is the only problem i have yet to find/annoy me with the rom so far so quite happy, even more happy by the speed increase over the original rom
Hi, i downloaded the rom update, from O2 was wondering if gps and tomtom work fine still, and also with igo 8, i dont wanna flash it and find my gps wont work, thanks peeps.
I have updated to 6.1 and all appears OK, in fact I havn't noticed any major diffirence. For info I have both TomTom and CoPilot working OK.
I am no expert on this ROM upgrading lark, but it took me hours to get my Orbit back to its previous state with the installation and configuration of various apps.
Do those brave guys who are constantly changing their ROMS have to go through hours of re-configuration each time or is there an easy way??
A
is that with your internal gps, i have not got a clue myself about this stuff, you dont unplug anything while its doing it do you.
Battery life seems much improved. Also, the QuickGPS util works very well and a lock can be had in seconds rather than minutes.
One funny - my Direct Push email would not work correctly after the initial upgrade. I could download all my content but the device refused to stay in sync requiring a send/receive to empty the Outbox. No amount of deleting/recreating the Exchange partnership helped. In the end I chose "Clear Storage" and did it all again from scratch. That did the trick....
From my other thread in the sub forum...
Hello!
I'm trying to upgrade my orbit 2 from wm6 to 6.1 using the official patch on the 02 website. When I enter in my serial number I get the download link with some instructions.
One such instruction is...
"Please note that if you already have CoPilot satellite navigation software on your Xda, read this installation manual (links to PDF) before upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.1"
The PDF talks about upgrading from wm5 to wm6 with co pilot 6 installed. Now im upgrading from 6 to 6.1 with copilot 7 installed
Do I still need to follow the guide? or can I just install the upgrade without touching the copilot 7?
I dont want to lose the use of the co pilot software by not deactivating it prior to the upgrade.
I tried calling o2 but they were useless.
Cheers
just reactivate it as you did the first time round @orbit2user123z
Windows 6.1 for O2 Xda Orbit 2 - and the features are?
Now this upgrade is available what do we O2 users get in terms of features? The HTC version on their site details some minot tweaks but not enough to want me to install the upgrade, can anyone give us a definite list of features in O2's new ROM?
I've got it all working now - cheers Madheadwil
Before i found this thread i thought my Orbit 2 was faulty, i could not get any roms to install onto my device but now YESSS!, thank you

That would be really helpful. I don't want to waste a couple of evenings reinstalling and reconfiguring all my applications if 6.1 doesn't do a lot more than 6.0 (or the things which have changed are things which I wouldn't use). Anybody know?

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.

maybee all you people running Kaisers on three need to run the tsk file to be able to run it properly with the planet 3 etc...
I have attached it for you guys to try! please let me know (you could rename tsk to cab if it doesnt work)

I was thinking the same thing. It would be different if it was like 1.72 or something... especially since it's so new. But 1.27 is WAY old (and not 6.1 compatible).

I think it was a misprint because three's TyTN is only on WM 6.0
They haven't released an upgrade.

Can we have an update in your first post in this thread as well then please. Unlike with a wiki where anyone can edit the page, you (or I guess a mod/admin person) are the only ones who can correct that. 3 UK users may be all excited seeing mention of WM 6.1, only to be disappointed when they find out it's still WM 6.0. FWIW I've found that as far as HTC TyTN II releases go, their WM 6.0 ROM/Radio combinations are superior so I can understand why 3UK don't have a WM 6.1 update (at least not here on xda-dev).
3 UK and Radio
Hi - I've upgrade to Win Mobile 6.1 (Shifu 13F) which works great, appart from not being able to hear or be heard in calls. Everything else works.
Radio is 1.27.15.32 (the original one I think) Is there not another radio that will work with this and other 6.1 roms? What is different about the 3 radio and others? Does this mean that those of us on 3 cannot use cooked roms?
Many thanks for the information already provided.....
Found a solution!!!!
I upgraded my radio to 1.70.18.02 and all works fine now, camera, sound and calls! Going to try it with a Win 6.5 rom soon as well!
People Its Not Hard
Hey guys im from the uk and i use 3 UK pay as you go sim in my lovely kaiser, i can access 3 planet to check my balance and free stuffs, ive got installed Dutty's 6.1 rom, it recognised sim and also changed the network settings at setup so that i could use internet and access planet 3. One other thing i use the 1.70.19.09 radio, its pretty good, camera works, call quality is perfect no problems whatsover, GPS very responsive

i have just gotten hold of a 3 sim and i'm trying to access planet 3 services but without the certs included in the official 3 rom i am getting nowhere fast! can anyone offer some advice? do i need to decompile the 3 stock rom and rip the certs from there? any help would be appreciated! I heard mention of a cab called SDKCerts which may be exactly what i need - all i really want is the skpe installer from 3 so the data used for skype calls is free rather than being taken from my usage allowance (3 customer services have confirmed this is what will happen if i use skpe's own installer of the skype app!!!)

Mirror mirror...
Can someone with the 3 UK ROM host it on a different service please. Rapidshare is never up these days, and I would like to sort my MDA Vario III into one that Planet 3/Skype likes.

Hello,
I'm planning to get the xda serra - can I treat it like a htc branded touch pro and follow the rom and radio update instructions available here? or will i need to do different things?
Also are the sim unlock instructions same as a htc branded touch pro?
Could someone let me know.
Thanks.
I've just bought a serra but i'm scared to do anything with it.
could someone answer the question made by spark.
so no Serra users out there with cooked roms?
ive done it and its fine so far installed one rom 8 times with the updates,read the wiki and you will be fine,read about hard spl and read about it good-read twice if your not sure then the world is your oyster.just remember that if when you plug it it usb and it doesnt connect you can put it into bootloader mode and install a different rom if active sync doesnt work right.read about the differnet roms out there.
and keep checking the forum for updates etc.
best of luck and remember read about it before you do anything.
if your on o2 it should be unlocked anyway mine is, just use hard spl (hard spl for touch pro)for it dont use any other type eg... for htc diamond,touch etc as its only ment for the 1 model i think(iam i right guys).

Thank you for the answer (its given me the confidence to go buy one).
I'm going to get the Serra some time next week (now that i know the touch pro cooked roms will work). I'll probabily use the ROMeOS² version as it looks nicely cut down.
Yes, I'm using a cooked ROM on my Serra. Works a treat.
After reading all your replys i'm gouing to finally use a cooked rom on my serra.
I (like spark, sort of) have got a serra but never did anything with it. I never knew if i could just treat it like a touch pro (now i do).
Is there a original serra rom out there incase i need to put back back to its original state for warranty reasons? - i've browsed through the rom section but cant seem to see any.
The original XDA Serra ROM is available - see the link in the wiki.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_WM6.1_ROMs
I did try a different ROM on my original XDA Serra - basically the original HTC ROM, but I did have lots of problems with GPS. It did turn out to be a hardware problem and my device has been exchanged, but until I am confident every feature is fully working I'm not going to change the ROM again. Plus, other issues my original XDA Serra had (such as device.exe errors on keyboard slide out, random freezes, running slowly) dont' seem to be issues on the new one.
See my signature - the O2 ROM only stayed on my device briefly - it was OK but GPS lock was a nightmare (although I see O2 have issued a fix now). I will be cooking my own once I get a little time, but found the PROven roms to be good bases.
I didn't see any news about this here so... It seams like HTC has released an update for the AT&T Fuze. According to the HTC Support site, here's what's included:
Microsoft's Windows Mobile Adaptation Kit Update (AKU) 1.4.6
Slide to Answer
Push To Talk Button is now re-assignable
FM Radio Application
Enhanced MS Voice Command
Call waiting indicator is now audible when using Speakerphone
HTC Music player supports Album art/info
Improved TouchFlo3D (TF3D) and User Interface performance
A-GPS Update: Speeds up the time it takes the GPS to get a fix on your location
Quick GPS is still recommended for the optimal operation of GPS based applications and services
The update can be found here.
But... what does it take to actually download it? I have a 3-month old Fuze in the US, but when I plug in my S/N - it says that it isn't for my Fuze?

i jst updated my rom with a rom from this site will this new rom from htc work? and will it return my phone back to the factory settings? cuz this new rom from raphael the fuzeberry is awsome
Still saying not for my device
Oh well, hopefully later today
This is the response I got from HTC.
"Hello Shannon, Thank you for your inquiry about the HTC Fuze. We would be happy to assist you with that information. However, we are experiencing an issue in the download of the update for the Fuze. We are aware of the issues and do apologize for the inconveniences. We are working on getting the issue resolved at the current time. We do ask that you allow 24 hrs and then retry to download the software. If after the 24 hr period you are still experiencing issues in downloading the software then please let us know. Again we do apologize for the inconveniences and appreciate your patience in resolving this issue. Shannon, I hope we have answered your question in detail. Feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions. HTC Technical Support http://www.htc.com http://www.htcwiki.com."
Can't download Official ROM either
I have a FUZE I purchased in February, same issue with not accepting my S/N. I know I will be a candidate for the new ROM so hopefully, the issue as described above from HTC support will prove to be accurate and we can download in a relative short time. I am really excited to try this new Official ROM as I am not comfortable flashing the ROM's that are available otherwise. I just don't have enough technical background to feel like I can do it without the real risk of bricking my FUZE.
HTC Fuze support site is down...
For now, they are probably fixing the issue with the S/N error because the support sub-site for the HTC Fuze is down.
why would you guys want a rom that weve had the updates for months? and 6.5 is already working great for us plus without all the att junk?

It could have some updated drivers and it looks like it has a new radio in it. That's the main benefit of getting this.
I wouldn't downgrade to 6.1, even if it has "new stuff"....won't take the cooks very long to extract any new stuff, and add it to the 6.5 roms

I agree, that's what I meant by my post...once someone gets their hands on it and can extract the goodies
Well, this ROM is appreciated regardless
I think custom ROMs are sweet, and I am a big fan of 6.5. But, I personally kinda like official releases, despite 6.1 and the AT&T crapware. I'll probably end up installing a 6.5 rom anyway if AT&T doesn't make one, or if AT&T's really sucks. Besides, I am overloaded with MS betas on my PC and phone.
Does anyone know when it will be downloadable again? The link seems to be down again or is there another place to find it?
If this allows the MS voice command to say the name of the caller, then I'm all for this update.
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.

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.

I had actually got the same reply from my inside HTC Guy a month or so back:

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.

I think Ozone users are looking for this: RUU_Chief_W_WM65_VZW_WWE_2.16.605.15, that's the official WM6.5 upgrade for the Ozone, I will upload it.

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?
