Heres one for the bofins... - Touch GSM General

Ok, so I just received my HTC Touch back from leaf repairs.
They had to replace the main board.
I was however fortunate in that when I took the phone in, it was an ELF, but now, I've discovered that they replaced the main board with an ELFin board. More memory FTW!
Anyway... Previously on my Elf I had upgraded to the latest available firmware version, and with that, my MMS no longer worked. it would just never send / receive. So I had to downgrade to the previous version again to get it working.
Now with my ELFin, I have ROM Version 2.20.421.1B WWE (supposedly the latest as well) and Radio version 03.07.90. And again, I am experiencing the same MMS problem again.
Anyone have any idea how I could fix this?
BTW: I can assure you my Data & MMS settings are 100% correct, they have been used before without a problem with the previous FW version on the Elf I used to have.
Thank in advance.

Downgrading T-Mobile Radio 6.24.01 TO 6.18 (Original)

Hi,
For warranty issues i have to send the pocket pc phone in for a replacement, but i have upgraded to T-Mobile 4.01 with the new radio Stack.
I can downgrade the OS to original 3.18 but the radio is not downgrading - can anyone please help and post instructions on downgrading to the original Radio...would greatly appreciate.
thanx
As far as i have read (and I've read several posts) there is no way to go back to a previous RS version.
If it is a hardware fault on the phone and is under warranty and not due to misuse like dropping it or breaking screen etc, I cant see that they would bother checking the radio version, probably just chuck in a box with a bunch of others.
Yeah... I've had to return a couple of them. I've always flashed them back to the old rom, but not the radio stack. I've never had any comments on it from TMObile.
I may have been wrong, I have heard that its possible to downgrade the same way you upgrade. Copy the original RUU files into the windows dir and run them. I hear that this might bring it back to it's original radio.
If you try and it works let us know, this is something that is discussed often but never really answered.
I returned a phone cause i dropped it and cracked the screen. I put the original rom back, but left the radio stack. they never mentioned anything.
But, my current problem could be due to the radio stack, cause the new phone i got often times turns off (soft reset). I don't want to call in a warranty issue until i can either put back the old RS or until t-mo officially releases the new one. So... if you find a way to do it, please, please let us know.
I tried the method ntwebguy mentioned, but with no luck, but i don't remember exactly how it failed... I think it just said a newer version already existed on the phone.
I assume there must be a way to do it for the sake of testing if nothing else, but I have not seen anyone that was able to.
John
john - it's most likely hardware, i've had 4 different XDA's from Tmobile and they all did the same thing. i'm in the same boat as you with 4.01 and 6.24 installed waiting for the official release to send this one back in.
that being said, i have an idea - too risky for me though
what if you "upgraded" to ATT or O2's radio stack and then "upgraded" back to Tmobile 6.18?

New Official ROM

anybody upgrade ?
A New Official ROM has been released????
Upgrade available on Europe site but does not yet appear on HTC Australia website. None of these fixes/upgrades look very useful, apart from maybe "Enhanced Opera’s browsing performance while running other applications" but I never had any problems with Opera anyway...
Is it possible they may include other fixes not listed on their site (such as the memory leak problem?) - here's hoping!!
I'm downloading it from the global website...
I'll try to upload and post the link here when I'm done.
*edit*
Got it... did not flash it yet...
Here is the link:
Code:
http://rapidshare.com/files/221229743/_HTC_Touch_3G_MR2009_RUU_Jade_HTC_Europe_2.32.401.2_Radio_Sign_12.41.30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship.exe
I installed it, but it has become extremely slow.
I do have to add that my phone just had the Hard-SPL stuff and the other update on it which or both unofficial.
I am currently doing a hard reset and hoping for the best.
I have no idea if it is because of the other updates. My guess would be not, because the rom is overwritten.
I installed the ROM upgrade from HTC, it ****ed up my device real bad: phone module not working, device boot up in aprox 1 min, after 3 mins Touch Flo not started, it restarts by itself.
I did hard reset and nothing happens.
I,m reinstalling jademan superrom!
I hope that works!
I reverted back to the original Dutch Rom dump.
Which is the thing that works for me.
The phone boots up normally, but starts to get slow at the moment when it is installing itself. I am going to mail HTC about it.
I might try to install it with the original rom I have now. But I believe that it isn't an update, but a new installation anyways. Which means that it doesn't matter what you had before it.
HTC Touch 3G ROM Upgrade (EU)
Hello people,
I downloaded the official european rom upgrade from HTC Europe just an hour ago, but I'm not able to flash. When I start the procedure, active sync just quits and the flash procedure also quits with an error message after a couple of seconds. So how can I make active sync not to quit? Did I miss something?
Thanks in advance for your kind suggestions!
Rom Upgrade successfull
I just did the rom update and yes after installation my unit was very slow...
A few reboots later (after the network wizard has run) the unit was still slow.
I verified the network connections settings (did not change anything!) and strangely after that my unit was'nt slow anymore but as fast as before the upgrade.
For the moment I'm staying with this new official rom...
Kind regards,
Jos.

just did the upgrading, everything seems fine, except can't use M2DC anymore (cause touch flo stop working), have to find a new way to remove "starhub" craps
I got it and my phone is much better. It seems to work faster and the radio signal is best.
Did you see that the upgrade is only for a few languages? Maybe you should do the upgrade after insert the serial number and see if the new ROM is good for your phone.
[The update is available for the following languages: English (Pan Europe, UK and East Europe), Italian, Dutch, French, German, Spanish, Portuguese and Russian.]

After the update, M2DC crashed on me... BUT i realised if it was disconnected from the PC, it works perfectly fine.
However, i faced 2 other problems...
1) Date is no longer displayed on the main screen
2) No more footprints
Do you all face the same problems? or is it just me ?
Footprints is not a feature of Jade but from Iolite.
However, you can install Footprints, but the tab in TF2D is not available:

that was the same with the original ROM, I have not upgraded and my activesync always comes back even if I close it.
the activesync is on more frequent with the new rom
i notice its on only when i use my gps
after upgrade its constantly on
but the plus point is the gps really react a lot faster now
so what can we do ...
With my serial number, I got this:
RUU_Jade_hTC_Asia_WWE_StarHub_2.32.723.2_Radio_Sign_12.41.30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship.exe
But I don't want the StarHub things because I'm not from Singapore and I need a normal Asia rom so I borrowed my sister's serial number and got this:
RUU_Jade_hTC_Asia_WWE_2.32.707.2_Radio_Sign_12.41.30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship.exe
Who needs the 2 above roms, let me know.
For the Asia rom, it works fine for me so far, the active sync problem can be resolve by adding server source and change the settings to manually. But funny thing was, I cannot remove the server, once I remove it will come back again everytime so I just leave it there and active sync won't on anymore until I use it.
Does the second asia rom upgrade without the starhub logo when you finished? Please share. I hate the logo after my upgrade with the first one.
can you give me the two roms?thanks.
i have found the rom in htc.com ,but only found the last version.
can you give the 2 roms for me ?
thanks.

Phone Function Issue

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.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
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.

No signal...

Hi peeps.. first post after a long term user..
I recently updated my TD2 to official 6.5 rom. No problems apart from the usual bugs.
Until yesterday when my phone CPW sim free on ORANGE network decided to not find network! I've had this phone for about 10months so i tried different area with no luck. My sim in another phone seems to work fine and an 02 sim works in the TD2..
After useless advice from ORANGE(*manual search, gsm mode etc), they have advised me to take it to CPW..
I've just HARDSPL and installed new RADIO .57 with no luck. Hard resetted it with no luck... and im just restting the rom again with official 6.5 release.
Has anyone had this problem? orange reassure me the imei number is fine with no restrictions and that my account is up and running..
what to do?
thanks

Assuming you have verified your network settings and ran the setup wizard (and HR after flashing the ROM) just keep trying different radios.
It is possible to be a hardware problem. I had a Mio A701 with the same simptoms and the radio chip was broken; there were two solutions: replace motherboard or buy a new one. So, I became a HTC owner and A701 is used only for GPS.
It is possible but highly unlikely since it occurred after you changed ROMs.
it occured about two weeks after the update..
tried different roms and radios.. no luck
have just flashed 6.5 with stock 1.33 spl and it booted then its crashed... fails to load pass HTC screen... tri color mode connects to usb but doesnt allow me to flash anything stays on 0%

Official ROM Upgrade for HTC HD2 (T-Mobile) UK 26/04/10 1.72.110.4

Sorry if other people have already seen this, I did a search and couldn't find anything. I just noticed that T-Mobile have released (via HTC) an official UK (and Germany and Czech Republic) a 1.72 version of the ROM for the HD2 on the 26th April 2010 (2 days ago).

Im installing now...where do I find that info ? biggest noob of em all
Is this just for T Mobile usres as the name sugests??
Im on O2, completely new to Winmo and smart phones at that!!!
Not rele sure what i need to do, but im trying to sort things out.
No to 3.5..... shocker
Manila 2012 but I can't see any differences over the former 1920..... please feel free to correct me
Personally, I can't see / feel many if any decent changes.......
If you install, your phone will be as you originally received it (save the updated software) so you will have to re-install everything...
If I had the previous 1.43 I would flash back...
I havent added anything as yet as i only had it since monday!!
Sorry to sound dumb, was is flash back??
Then you have nothing to worry about....
is there some sort of changelog for this?
please do report on what its like, particularly stability and messaging
then i might do my first HD2 flash...
i upgraded from original 1.43 stock rom and must say its a lot smoother than before, doesnt freeze up as much very little lagging.
no real difference in battery life, maybe a touch better but the main difference for me is that HTC messaging works instead of me having to rever back to wm messaging.
also, it came with .net 3.5 so i dont know why others have said it doesnt.
well im sold!
will DL and flash tonight!
thanks for the report jonyid
Any Ideas
Hi Guys
I cant seem to be able to download the T-Mobile rom from HTC's site. When I enter my serial number the site says that Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device. Yet I am a UK user on T-Mobile with rom version 1.66.405.2 what am I doing wrong?

What ROM are you using, as T-MobUK have only had 1.43 and now 1.72?
I am also with T-MobUK but I quickly dumped ROM 1.43, HSPL'd and went for the HTC standard WWE 1.66 ROM. Since T-MobUK 1.72 is WWE1.66 with T-Mob bloatware added, then there is no point updating.
If you really want the 1.72 ROM, I'll get it for you.
Hi Please ignore above I have just discovered even though I bought my phone as a t-mobile one it is in fact the unlocked phone, so am I right in understanding that the latest rom for my phone (according to HTC's Site) is 166.405.2

I recently upgraded my Tmobile 1.43 Rom to the new 1.72.110.4 from the HTC website. So far it seems to be ok. Not much of a difference: Solitaire and Bubble breaker have been added, You Tube, Bing search and one or two additions as well. Most importanly however is the performance of the HTC messaging program. I used PIM back toback up for my text messages, contacts, calender. Ugraded the ROM, (took about 10mins or less) and restored text messages from the back up file.
Restore process showed me 7000+ texts copied to the device. Restarted the device, checked messaging and got the "restoring messages" status bar. Took about 1 hour since then, I have noticed a marked improvement in the HTC messaging application. Can now continue using the phone even when a text comes in, can delete without having to wait ages for the device to start up again.
BTW I have some apps installed: TomTom 6, Swype, Skype, TCPMP player, Registry editor, etc.
Hope that information helps or encourages someone!
does anyone know if its possible to go back to the 1.43 ROM??? (just curious....)
Noob question here... as I have flashed my device and installed a custom ROM (or many) already will this take HSPL off my device? Will it be ok to do the normal install or will it brick my device?
I'm just trying to get my phone back to stock Rom levels as I need to return it to Tmobile and this is the only place I've managed to find the TmobileUK stock ROM.
Help? Please?!
Can anyone help with this at all? Please?!
