Noobie Ques: Can my SPV M600 update with Dopod 818 pro ROM?

Dear All,
I am new to this forum which i just joined today. Currently i am trying to figure out my newly bought SPV M600 from u.k but i m located in Malaysia. Any errors or failure on my SPV M600 will be a nightmare for me because i cannt get back to U.K and fix the SPV M600.
After i surf through the whole prophet section, i didnt able to get a proper guidelines on updating the ROM in SPV M600 to Dopod 818 pro ROM. First of all is it possible that i update the Dopod 818 Pro latest ROM? Is it compatible?
If yes please teach me the right ways to perform it. I really scare that my SPV M600 will be gone.
Any specific intruction on the update? To make it perfect?

Don't worry about your SPV m600 ther's no need to get it back to UK..You just have to search around in this forum..go to Prophet Section, surely you'll find tolls nedded and instruction

what is the SPL / IPL of your phone?
I have an M600 myself and on an Orange ROM and wonderig if the Dopod ROM is better and the pros and cons of upgrading from orange to dopod.
Also pls be sure that once you have flashed to a non orange rom u cant go back to the orange rom as it aint available nowhere.

when i try yo go through the wiki.xda-developers.com and under the phophet section there is no information. all the links seems contain no information. wondering where to start from.
and also is this rom working fine with spv m600? http://www.dopodasia.com/download/RUU_Prophet_2151327_21513121_021921_DOP_ASIA_WWE_Ship.exe
what is extended rom? can i have a link on that. thanks

Take a look at this post:

Be aware that if you upgrade to Dopod, there's no turning back for now with this rom, meaning you won't be able to downgrade until a solution is found.
I have installed myself that dopod rom instead of the orange FR one, and I think it have better speed, but appart of that, don't really see the difference appart from some stuff missing in the dopod (like pvplayer for live tv and the rotate screen) and some useless stuff in dopod like auto config for Asian phone providers.
In my case I've update to dopod because it was the better rom atm and I wanted to get rid of that AZERTY french keyboard config which is far from handy on a phone and have a QWERTY.
Now it's up to you to know if you wanna risk it :wink:

This is the on you'll need (it already have a NoVendorID by Machingod)

rockdaman: And you cant go back to Orange rom once you flash to Dopod. Do let us know if you do flash and if you like dopod any better?
Cedrick: Since the Orange ROM already had AKU2 i assume it is the newest ROM out there comparable to the latest Jamin ROM. Your thoughts pls?

Yes.. Of Course. But then you can come back any time with a new flash.

Only O2 brand....
Anything for italian brand TIM?

I flashed this ROM, it is for UK customers. I didn't find this ROM any significant advantage over the HTC ROM. HTC has build in Home and Touchflo and this ROM didn't include those so it has more storage memory.
It certainly has different graphics and interface is before the touch cube invented.

WM 6.1 not available for everybody ?

Hello,
I just tried to download the official 6.1 upgrade from HTC's website, but when I submit my serial number (verified under the battery and on the Touch's box) The website denies access to the download saying that Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device..
Is this problem common ? Is there a workaround ?

Are you from France? If yes - try official 6.1 FRA ROM here:

No s/n needed!!!

Thank you !

Not for India..
Yeah its not available for India too... although I don't know if this applies for Asia in general. Also we get the Mapking gps and not Tomtom. I guess that may be one reason... or something else...

Ok I see.. well here is the Radio ROM version according to the Device Information screen: Radio Version: 1.58.25.14 Protocol: 25.69.30.05W. Hope it helps.

just got my cruise yesterday, already did hard-spl using olipros hard-spl. also upgraded to wm6.1 i got my wm6.1 rom from wiki of polaris. wm6.1 has tomtom but i didnt use it, i installed mapking(comes with the package) on my polaris. you can also find the radio rom in the wiki.

thanx a lot guys... with the info i was able to downgrade from the official HTC WM 6.1 ... am able to use custom ROMs now... am basically at the same version levels as KULL now... the only difference being the protocol... i have 25.69.30.05H to his 25.69.30.05W... dont know what that means... from what i could gather 'H' supports a few more bands for GSM and UTMS than a 'W'. doesnt really make a diff to me... but i havent been able to connect to GPRS on airtel... dont know if the W/H diff is doing that... sorting that out now... thanx again

WM 6.1 for Asia / India
Hi,
I'm in India too and want to find out if others in Asia / India have upgraded to this official WM 6.1!
Is it worth moving to 6.1 and if so where can I download that WWE 6.1 ROM? As someone mentioned, I cannot download it from the official HTC site with my serial number as it seems its not available for my region.
I did hard SPL earlier and now running udk version on that which is very stable and I'm using it for about 5-6 months now - no issues at all. Dont want to get into any trouble while upgrading to this official one, but if its smooth and similar stability, I would like to move to the official ROM for now.
Thank you.

I don't know about the rest of Asia, but surely not available yet for India. I also got an email confirmation from Support recently. Will have to wait and watch, I think they were in a hurry to bring out ROM update for the Diamond since the launch it has received very luke warm response also got some bad word of mouth publicity where people found it buggy. Guess it should come some time...

Several Questions:: Does my simlock Dissapear if i Flash My HTC ??? Which Rom ??

Hi all,
Im back after a very long time because.
I buyed after a very long time a htc touch hd...
well its not new, the guy were i buyed from used it for 1week and didn't liked the touchscreen. He told me he received it as a present for xmas and stuff like that.
Now is my Question: i want to flash my rom because its WM 6.1 and i heared alot of great things about WM 6.5 is that trough ?
Also if i flash my HTC TOUCH HD, will my simlock dissapear or something ?
Cause on my last phones it was, i flashed it and i needed to unlock it again and more headache.
Is it normal that the simlock will reactivate if its flashed to WM6.5 ??
If the htc still unlocked.
Which ROM you all will advice me ? i really prefer Dutch roms, but english roms are also oke.
and also tell me why, so i can get all the benefits of it
Im not a beginner in flashing of phones but flashing of HTC's i am.
I only did it once as far as i can remember and that was on a P3300 a very old model, So if there is also a little manual i will be very thankfull.
Thank you all,

Hi biggie89,
Yes, the good news is that there have been many advancements and improvements to the Windows Mobile OS in version 6.5, such as having a more finger friendly User Interface - providing you with a much neater and tidy user experience. Speed varies depending on which 6.5/6.5.x ROM you choose to install and you will be glad to know that both Dutch and English ROMs are available for download
The bad news is that if you flash your HD in it's current state (simlocked), then I am afraid that this is unlikely to work until you get your SIM unlocked as the simlock is controlled by the baseband. Data is stored there too and flashing the radio or ROM will not have any effect on the simlock. Therefore, I would advise you to have it unlocked before you begin the flashing process.
Here is a guide that you can read to make you more aware of how to flash a Touch HD ROM. Essentially, what you must do first is unlock your phone using either Hard-SPL or USPL.
You can also see this link as it details what the latest ROM builds offer in terms of stability and performance.
I think it would be a little unfair to say which ROM is best especiallly for the people who create these custom ROMs. Each ROM is different in their own little way i.e. one ROM might be fast but a little unstable, another may be stable but a little slow, etc... The best thing you can do is try out different ROMs (Dutch or English versions) yourself and try to discover which one meets your needs.
Note: when you get to the stage of downloading a ROM, to find a Dutch based ROM, simply look at the headings of the ROMs listed from this link. Dutch ROMs include the abbreviation NLD in their title [NLD = Netherlands], and English ROMs have WWE in the title [WWE = World Wide English].
I hope this helps you out.
Regards.

Mastoid is correct. Flashing to a new rom, even if you use hspl, will unfortunately not unlock the sim.
There are tools that can do that, but it is not free. You can try this one which seems to be popular and effective.

Hi all and thanks for your reply on my message..
My htc HD works now with my vodafone NL simcard so its not simlocked or something i think i wrote my question wrong..
Im scared if i FLash my rom that the unlocking of my device comes back, So i can't use my vodafone NL simcard with it.
Is that possible ??
the current state is unlocked or locked with vodafone i dont know for sure but you guys tell me that if i FLASH my rom now i still can use my vodafone NL simcard ???
if that is the way i will flash my rom in to a nice ROM that u guys told me to do..
the thing what i want to is..
USE my vodafone NL simcard with my htc touch HD like now but with a different ROM.
my htc touch HD is working great with WM 6.1 with a vodafone NL simcard.
so im still confused with the simcard if it will work.
do you guys think that it will work with WM6.5 ??

Flashing a rom does not affect the status of the simcard so it will still work. Just follow the Dummies Guide (link by Mastoid above) and you'll be fine

ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 Vodafone Branding

Hello everybody,
I have bought my new HTC HD2 from Vodafone Germany. I live in Germany and ,as all windows devices, my HTC is localized to Germany and the windows mobile 6.5 comes with the German language and I wanted to change it to English. I tried to download the ROM upgrade to "English-Arabic support" from HTC website but when I put the serial number of my device it says that this version is not suitable for your device and I have found another version "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe" and when I tried to install it I got an error says "INVALID Vendor ID" or something like this.
Finally I have bought a 3ed party software just to be enabled to read arabic but the language is still German
So please if anybody knows how to solve this problem and help me I will be thankful.
Best Regards,
Amer

install hspl then instal whichever run you like via usb.

i had the same probs here with vodaphone uk...
as above, install hspl, the sticky of this can be found in the leo roms section of this site and it will guide you, but the installation process is really straight forward.. then you are able to install any of the ROMS, be they official OR custom cooked roms..
My personal favourite is the ENERGY series of roms.. but have a good look about, im sure you will find many that offer the practicality and versatility your after!

Hi Ell_H,
Thank you very much for your reply and I have read about HSPL and it sounds amazing tool but another question about restoring the old system. How can I get the original ROM and restore the system to its old state after changing it?
Thanks in advanced.

You need to find the original rom for your phone, both region AND provider(if you were getting invalid serial on teh htc website then your phone is provider locked, so for example you would need to look for the german t mobile rom, if you got your phone from t mobile germany)
Once you have your original rom you can then use sd card method to remove hspl and restore to factory rom. You can only do this with your original shipped rom.

Problem upgradind German Vodafone ROM
Hi,
I have the same problem upgrading the Vodafone ROM. I would like to load the generic ROM or any other ROM that works with Vodafone. It can be English as well. If I try to load the generic through HTC site it checks the SN and doesn't allow the ROM upgrade.
What to do to load another up to date ROM without running into the same issue as Amer? There are so many ROM version out there and I don't want to risk trying the wrong ROM.
Thanks for help!

You need to obtain the rom from vodafone, or use HSPL / Gold Card to flash another ROM.

Thx for answer. I read about HSPL and will figure that out. I read there are requirements concerning the radio. My radio is 2.04.50.22_2 and ssems pretty old. Does someone know where to find the best guide how to do the HSPL install?
There are many ROMS out there and I want to make sure I will not run into trouble using it with Vada. What ROM to take is the question?
Danke!
