How can the ROM version suddenly change? - HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 Themes and Apps

Hi All,
Just a quick question.
I noticed today that my ROM and Manila version under Settings have reverted back to 1.66 despite the fact that ROM version under on the o2 boot screen is still 1.72.
How can this happen? Is it something to do with restoring a backup?
Any ideas?
Thanks in advance.
EDIT: Sorry Mods, I thought I was back in the HD2 General thread. Please move it.

what did you use to restore a backup it could have saved some registry bits and changed them in the phone,

Im sure you restored a full backup after changing the ROM Dont do this !!! Seriously you get many problems with that. Just restore your contacts, messages etc. and install everything clean again...

possibly, my bad....

I changed my ROM ages ago and checked the version under Settings straight afterwards and it was fine Im sure ( I think LOL). I need do a restore today after the HTC Messaging Client 2015 update didnt work and just happened to notice the inconsistency.
Anyway I reckon the ROM version displayed in settings is simply reading from a registry setting (I found the wrong manila version number in the registry also) , as the boot screen displays the correct version.
PS. I use SPBbackup in ROM upgrade mode when moving to a new ROM and and this is the first time I have experienced this. Bearing in mind that I have gone from 1.43 O2 to 1.66 stock to 1.72 O2 and this is the first time I noticing this, 2 months after last upgrade.
Strange...I havent noticed any issues, so I will probably just fix at the point of the next upgrade (assuming there will be one).
Thanks for input so far.

Factory installed software disappeared after a hard reset

After a hard reset in hopes of restoring the MDA to "factory settings" I lost a couple programs.
**"Voice Dialling"
**the program that shows the Battery Life and GPRS Usage
Does anybody here know on how to contact the mfr to get the original software from them? I would really like to reinstall it and restore it to the original settings.
The phone was supplied from T-Mobile (Netherlands) and then unlocked and now operating on the US Cingular GSM/GPRS network.
Any assitance would be greatly appriciated.

There are several extended ROM downloads available at the xda-developers site. Do a search. You can run the setup files to get the programs. However, you might want to go ahead and update your ROM while you are at it.
well i have the 1.13 t-mobile firmware on it... after i flashed that one the apps were lost. but i just found out theres a slightly newer 1.13 out noiw, so ill try that one.
Thanks for pointing towards the extended stuff, i was under the impression those things were standard on every mda/xda/jam etc. ill check those out im kinda new to this stuff
I feel kinda stupid... turned out those apps are just in the appsuite on the cd :x somehow they didnt install after i updated the 'firmware'. everything's okay now

What happens to the phone provider software after a ROM upgrade?

Hi,
I want to upgrade the ROM of my HTC Tytn II to the version NoThrills WM61 NLD V3. I was wondering what happens to the software, which is currently installed on my device, by the phone provider (KPN Netherlands), like EasyMenu, after this upgrade.
I'm not saying that this software is that important to me, but I just want some more information about this.
Thanks for your answers,
Dennieku
everything will get erased as u will need to do a hard reset...u can back stuff up and do various backups to things u want but u will need to search for that
The phone will be wiped clean and the ROM you upgrade to will be the only thing on it. You can use UC to add stuff you want to the new ROM on first boot (provided that the new ROM supports it).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366337
OK, thanks for your answers !!!!
yeah, technically it gets wiped clean, but mine still has some orange software that got installed the first time it started up after i flashed it.

Is there anywhere I can get the HTC S710 BT Mobile Rom?

I've tried srerching the boards to no avail but I was wondering if there were any downoad links to restore a HTC S710 back to the original BT mobile rom?
Thanks for any help.
EDIT-
I am asking for this as I have flashed her S710 with a different rom and it seems to have developed a fault where it has started vibrating randomly. She's had it for months and its worked fine up until now.
I don't think there is such a ROM. It's some base ROM and than BT stuff is added to it.
check this out: http://bt.custhelp.com/cgi-bin/bt.c...346&cat_lvl2=1265&p_cv=2.1265&p_cats=346,1265
Check out the vibrations. they might not be random. they might be due to some software or script. (unless you have already checked and ruled out this option)

Yes look if there are around files with *.mscr extension, maybe in the /Windows/Startup folder
Here is the link where you can restore to BT settings.

Andy.

Chazam - did you ever get to the bottom of this. As i see it the link above only gives you the additional BT Braodband-Anywhere software which you load on top of a base ROM, and i think that it is the Base ROM you are after. the reason i ask is that I want to flash my S710 with one of the cooked ROMs on this forum, but like you if i need to send it back to BT i need to restore it back to it's factory default?
Does anyone know if it possible to extract the original ROM and then flash it back in the future? (probably not as simple as that but i can only ask????

Automatic Hard Reset. Please help me!!

Hi everybody.
I have, installed on my Htc touch cruise, the Kostas wm6.5 Rom.
Everything seems to work wonderful, but I have a problem.
Sometimes wm6.5 blocks everything and I have to make a soft reset.
After that, wm6.5 doesn't restart for a few seconds.
Subsequently my Polaris makes a Hard Reset by itself, without any kind of request or intervention.
Someone can help me?
Thank you very much!!
its a bug in some of the builds. please talk about this in your ROM thread
This is what happend to me! exactly with this kernel and after some time I even couldn't turn on this device, it'was like a dead no screen. After 5h without battery it again started but after that again freeze, so now I installed original http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=59&cat=2&dl_id=113
But it restart themself during loading, so now I am solving what to do probably I will try install ROM from SD card. But this is 2 issue, I don't know if there is som corelation between them, but first is that phone seems like that and need rest for start, now it I am nearly sure that it's HW problem and 2nd is bad OS.
But anyway I am trying to ask if you have similar experience, because my case start exactly same as yours, but now ends in real hell
EDIT: I definitelly had Kostas too, but I think that WM6.1
EDIT2: Can you send your S/N number, it's weird beacause friend which sold me this phone told me that phone was working 1y absolutelly OK and now around same date as you happend something similar, that's weird, or you have new phone?
Thanks anyway!
I flashed the original ROM and than Kostas' ROM. Now everything is ok!
I'm sorry I can't help you.
Bye
what you mean under original? I am pretty confused from so many versions now, can you give me link?
Have you used the correct radio?
I've installed an Italian Rom wm6.5 and I've had to install Radio 1.59 before install the ROM, then it's better to install an original ROM like this:
RUU_Polaris_HKCSL_WWE_3.19.831.3_radio_sign_25.85. 30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship
Daniele
From Kostas Rom Page:
Radio not included.You must use any 1.59.xx.xx version.(1.59.46.12 is the latest and recomended.)
general guidelines;
certain application is not working (particularly camera) -> change your radio
system unstable, random freezes -> hard reset
hard reset cannot solve the problem -> flash stock rom, then reflash custom rom, then hard reset.
