HTC S710 ROM update

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

Htc Universal - G3 - Windows Vista : How to Flash ?

Hi to everybody
i'm new of this forum and a noob too .
I've gotten a HTC Universal G3 version.
I've read a lot of threads about flashing Htc Universal but the most of them are refering to Htc Wizard.
I have a laptop with Windows Vista OS, and i would like to flash my Universal G3 version with an updated ROM, possibly a stable version of WM6.5 (or 6.1, it's the same)
Could you show me le last, simple and secure way to do this ?
I'm very confusing, so anyone can help me, do it !!!
Many thks
johnjohnmel
P.S. Does it exist an hacking hardware guide to change Wifi module from 802.11b to 802.11g ?

Welcome to the forum
By now not any wm6.5 is STABLE, and if it´s your first time flashing I would strongly recommend to install a 6.1 stable ROM, for that I can recommend Tomal 8.5 or 8.81 ROM´s, they are just great!!
Also if you can flash in XP is easier than in Vista. anyway here instructions for flashing with vista http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001
For learning how to, please reade the Wiki here:

Good luck and please dont forget to vote!

Hello,
Welcome to the forum,
I would strongly stick with what Orb says here and stick to 6.1. as well as 6.5 being very new, it also uses a lot of ram to run. you find yourself having to reset to reclaim used ram. To start using 6.5 you need a 128mb upgrade.
TAKE YOUR TIME, do nothing until you are SURE you know what to do!
Have fun
Jay

Just by reading these guides have become confused.
The first thing i woud like to understand is what you can see in bootloader mode:
when i put my PDA in bootloader mode i can see only a dark monitor with this 2 writtens :
upward : "serial"
bottom : "v1.00"
This is my IPL/SPL version ? So if i've understood well my PDA it's a G3 model, is it right ?
Looking at this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
i've understood i need to downgrade my PDA to 1.05 ROM, but mine have 1.00 ROM (look upward, refering to booloader mode), so this step will be not a downgrade for me, is it right ?
Could you help to understand this first things ?
Bye
johnjohnmel

HI
You're doing OK! it is indeed a G3 and when you plug it in to the pc's usb it will say USB instead of serial. now follow THIS to upgrade your bootloader. its off the WIKI HERE. read it, it will tell you loads. The biggest problem you will have is running Vista, I only use XP so I cant help you there.
Jay
EDIT...............just spotted THIS about Vista, hope it helps.

Hello,
I would now suggest you download a good stable rom, such as TOMALS 8.5 STANDARD build rom onto your today screen connect your pda into the USB port and then follow the instructions for flashing in vista it will then load onto your pda. Now hard reset.
thats it! You can try others later on but its best to try a good solid stable rom first. Like I said use the standard build first.

Hi, thanks a lot. Finally i solved.
It's MORE SIMPLE that it could seem.
So it's not more necessary to CID-unlock and to download UniversalRUU, becuase in the last ROM there is just inside program to upload new ROMs.
Maybe it's necessary to change WIKI instrunctions.
What do you think ?
Bye and thanks a lot again.

Only 2 things go wrong.
Indeed it seems it doesn't function at all GPRS with my Tim italian Network. I've to try UMTS with 3 italian network.
Maybe it's a RADIO Rom version problem.
What can i do to solve this issue ?
Also i can i see in my Home the tipical screens with shortcuts to applications, contacts etc.

System tray is one way to add icons to the home screen, however they only appear in a row at the bottom and it is a bit of a fiddle. you might be better off adding a third party software like mobile shell 3.0 to your rom so you can customise your PDA.

Phone freezing, dont think its spl issue

I have flashed winmo 6.5 on my phone. I have radio version 1.70. I have hard spl version 3.29 flashed. I did flash a stock HTC rom to my tilt before flashing shifu's 4.0 rom to my phone. I did do a master reset on my phone also.
The problem is every once in a while my phone freezes or hangs severely. It seems to happen only when I access messaging. It only does it occasionally. When my phone freezes it will either hang for five or more minutes but I can stil access the start menu, or it freezes completly and I have to yank the battery.
I have tried different 6.5 roms from different people all with the same results. I have also tried doing numerous hard resets. I have tried disabling 3g and hspda. Im kind of confused as to what to try next. I would like to keep 6.5 but this problem is getting old.
I also have a coworker that has a wing that I unlocked and she is using on the ATT network as well with 6.5 and hard spl to. She has the exact same issue.
Any help would be great.

get a 6.1 to try only
and a different radio

Freezing issue and WM 6.5
Hi
Had the same issues with several 6.5-roms myself.
Experienced a lot of freezes and sometime it could not be resolved without reset.
Several times a soft reset has become a hard reset.
I always has flashed stock rom before a new flash.
I need my phone to work well, so yesterday I went back to a fast 6.1 rom (G's DK10final),
and at least for now the phone seems much more stable and responsive, and works well with all applications .

just same typicaL probLem witH me.. I used siFu 4.0 WM6.5 and it GettinG Freeze at the menu option.. and tHen I FLasHed it usinG uLtimate X2 V.11 WM6.5 and same probLem Hit me as weLL.. SO i decided to FLasH it usinG stock ROM WM6.1 ( OriGinaL Version tHat i Got From HTC website ).. aFter it FinisHed tHen i FLasH my kaiser usinG siFu V.19 WM6.1.. and it run weLL and stabLe in my Tytn.. So, is WM6.5 is uncompatibLe witH my tytn..? Hmm... i wonder.. i don't know.. FYI i usinG SPL 3.29 Hard2 and Radio 1.70.19.09..

Thanks for the answers guys. I havnt been able to find an answer to this issue. I did my coworkers phone as well that is having the same issue but she has a wing. I am also using hardspl 3.29 and radio 1.70 as well. I've been contemplating going back to ATT's stock rom minus ATT crap. I guess tonight I will be doing that. Ill post result on here for archive purposes in a couple days in case anyone else has this issue and stumbles on this thread.
Thanks for you guys.

have u guys been flashing to stock rom before flashing a 6.5 rom?

I have been, both ATT and HTC stock before flashing. No help. Also did hard resets after stock flashes two before flashing 6.5 and after flashing 6.5.

Help 6.5 to 6.0 or 6.1

I Upgraded My Palm Treo 750v to wm6.5 i really hate this update thought i was going to be good but i want to take the phone back to 6.0 the original software

Upgrade and downgrade is the same process- u just need another ROM image.

so do we know where the rom is i cant find it

there are several roms available here, I would recommend 6.1 which is stable and fast.. 6.5 has a few bugs and needs more ram..

first off the version u are using has a beta timebomb in it, there is another version with the fix cooked in, its on here too. you just have to search. The 6.0 u are looking for is on here somewhere, same thing, search.
