Due to me about to call Tmobile to get my 6th Wing sent to me since Jul 08. All 6 have had different problems from no sound, cant answer calls, gets stuck on soft resets, touch screen doesnt work etc.... I'm to the point that I cant even get mad after 1 million hard resets. Anyways looking around this site is updating to WM 6.1 the only fix for this phone to work properly or atleast decent enough for more than 2 months
I would download the official Tmobile wing rom along with a few custom roms and carefully read the post on how to flash a new rom.... try a couple clean roms and if it doesnt fix your issues flash the official rom back on there and send it back.

Just got my new M5000 after i accidentally threw the last one across the work car park.
I have just spent the last 45 mins browsing the site to work out what the latest roms and radios are so that i can get my nice virgin phone up to date.
However all i did was get very confused easily done im afraid.
Could someone please give me a difinitive answer on which updates i should run.
thanks in advance
Tim
First question is did you have any problems with your original M5000?
If not, dont fix something that is not broken!
If the original ROM worked ok for you.. stick with it.. I have...
Sensible searching in this forum will find you cures to most issues without upgrading your ROM...
If you still want to upgrade your ROM I'll leave the answer to 'which' & 'how' to others who have tried and tested it...
i had upgraded the radio to 1.6 i think but i see there is a 1.9 now but i cant find the exe to download.
Upgrade the radio, but don't bother with the extended rom.
Just remember to take note of the GPRS connection settings before you hard-reboot.
I had a replacement M5000 a few weeks ago i am now running the latest orange rom with radio 1.09.
It works great however one word of note i had to update the rom 3 times before the calender worked i assume the file must have corrupted during upload.
Can you point me in the right direction for the roms and radio
After waiting ages for UK T Mob update to come out I tried it yesterday. Went through OK but got stuck at spash screen.
Tried everything on this forum but could not fix it. Wouldn't work even if flashed back to old ROM.
Sent it back to T Mob under Warrenty. Very unhappy. Let you know the outcome in 7- 10 days.
Bootloader was 1.01 for those interested.

That Sux big time. T-Mobile and the likes, really don't test very well before they release updates. I would rather install a cooked rom, atleast with the user community feedback we get some nice cooked Roms.
Goodluck, waiting to hear what happens....
Hello!
Ok before posting i did a lot of research to try to find a threaded sms....I know that most of you will say to just upgrade to another rom..problem is that I tried several roms on this thread, and they just did not work for me, they often locked up, or didn't come with features i needed that stock rom has. I had to soft reset over and over hard reset a few times with the other roms.
So now i am just wondering if there is a cab for arcsoft that can be used on the new tmo wing rom?
Thanx!
hi

Hi,
I just wanted to tell you about a problem i had with my device.
I had the Khanx wm6.1 vanilla ROM for the last month.
Two days ago I flashed my device with udk R1.
everything was working fine.
I decided to "downgrade" my device to the Khanx old version.
after the flash everything is working good EXCEPT for the phone sounds.
I can dial (or receive) and make one phone call. After that, I can make phone calls but can't hear the tone (waiting,busy,etc...). The people on the other side can't hear me too.
Everytime I press the END button or the send button I can't hear any sounds whatsoever.
I flashed my device again with Khanx's ROM and nothing worked.
I messed with every single setup that I know on the device but nothing worked.
Currently, I got the udk R1 and I'm waiting for the new Khanx ROM (I just LOVE his ROMs).
Anyhow, is there anything that you can think of that I didn't do or done in a wrong way? did somebody encountered that same problem before?
Have a great day
Jam
Check Radio Version, Hard Reset
Latest WM6.1 roms are supposed to work only with the latest radio 1.59.42.15
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426203
Please make sure what currently runs for you, since these can be flashed independetly but sometimes are bundled.
Incompatibilities after downgrading are likely and discussed in above mentioned thread.
Two things come to mind:
1. Try a hard reset after flashing
2. also downgrade radio for example to Murata for the time beeing on downgraded rom
just wanted to say that I used Murata radio and it solved the problem.
sqeeza - thanks for you help.
Hello
I noticed a very annoying bug at my phone: sometimes when I end a call the phone function stalls (the icon on the upper bar shows conversation in progress)
The only way to use the phone function again is to soft reset it. Lately I get the same problem but without the icon that shows conversation in progress. During this time all the incoming calls are not prompted. Basically on the caller side my phone "rings" but my phone doesn't even notice the incoming call. This prevents me from receiving very important calls that affect my business.
I cannot upgrade my ROM (1.14.479.3 ) since there is no official version for my region.
Any of you have this problem ? Shall I bring it to service ?
Please tell me your thoughts
SR
seems like a software issue, which region is your phone in? have you tried updating your software through HTC website?
For Romania there is no official version released. I cant upgrade ROM/Radio without losing my warranty.
i had the same problem after installed a hot fix from HTC, even hard reset and reinstall the ICR program the phone just lockup when I made a call. I can talk in that call but the whole phone just won't response to any keys or touch screen. After 2 days playing around with countless hard reset I decided to flash the same ROM from computer and the problem seems gone now.

Sure you can You are currently using a WWE ROM right? You can use USPL or HSPL to flash a newer official WWE ROM. In the event you need to return the phone just flash the original ROM (and SPL) back to your phone and they will never know. The original ROM you are running now is available on the Wiki, and here is a direct link. If you need help flashing ROM's you can read the guide in my signature and post questions in that thread
On a side note- I have had that issue before as well. It does seem like a bug in some software on the ROM as flashing different ROM's seems to make it go away (or reappear )
My phone's screen stopped responding few weeks ago and I brought it to service. They changed its front side with a brand new one (I am not sure if the screen only because I even get better audio quality during calls). I am telling you this just to underline that when I took it back from service the ROM was flashed again (same version though) because the menus used to be in English and now they are in Romanian. So if I am not mistaking my hard resets + services ROM flashing (into the same version though ) didn't fix this issue.
@Digital Outcast:
I am aware that I am able to use a newer ROM. I read the wiki and I know how to do it but if for some reason what I mentioned above (screen completely stopped responding and it was changed) happens while the new ROM is on the phone I will lose my warranty.
Since I opened this issue I changed the sim with a newer one. The old one was 7 years old...
Thank you for your feedback and for letting me know I am not the only phone owner having this annoying bug.
As stated by Tnyynt on another thread
Official updates go by as original ROM, they install without HardSPL if there is an update for your version of the device, so if you have an Official ROM which you have flashed, there's no need to worry for warranty.

Basically, any of the official rom updates for your device available on HTC or wiki can be flashed to your phone without HSPL or USPL and will not void warranty.
I tried with this one but when I insert my serial it says its not available for my region.
http://www.htc.com/www/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=179&act=sd&cat=2
Still I managed to download it using some serial I found on the web. But when I started the flashing process it says its not meant for my phone and aborted
Is your phone branded? Did you get it new? I ask because it doesn't look like it was a WWE device...
I bought it brand new from an online store. I didn't buy it from a provider like Vodafone or Orange.
One of my colleagues bought it from Vodafone few days ago and he has exactly the same ROM version as I have. None of us is able to download the previously mentioned ROM version from HTC website using the imei.
RUU_BlackStone_HTC_WWE_EastEurope_1.14.479.3_Radio _52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14_Ship is the ROM you currently have on your phone. There are no "official" updates for your particular CID.
Your real only current choice if you want to flash a newer HTC ROM would be to use USPL or HSPL and flash another official WWE ROM. You could always flash back the original if you needed to return the phone for warranty purposes. Sorry bud.
Thanks for summing it up for me.
PS: changing the sim with a newer one did not help, in case somone wants to do this.
