Windows Mobile 6.1

Hey,
is there a offical HTC-update for "Windows Mobile 6.1"?

Yes there is. I just downloaded it and installed it last night.
You will need to backup all your information because it wiped my device (contacts programs and everything) except for my storage card.
You can get the official update from the HTC website. Just go to the Touch for whatever carrier you use and go to the support page for that phone. You will find links there to download.

I can't find it

Is this an update for the CDMA version, or the GSM version?

CDMA Vogue

http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?act=faq&p_id=76&cat=66
that's where I got mine. Like it said, that's the one for Sprint so dunno if your carrier has one out yet.

Vogue, Not Elf...
Hey boys... you might want to put this update in the Vogue Section... some people might use this to update their Elves and end up bricking their device.
Other than that, am glad WM6.1 is out for Vogue already. Elf should be up next shortly...

hmm I see. I thought this was for the Touch since under "Elf" it says "also known as Touch."
I have what is called a Touch and the update worked for me so yippie?

Are you sure that they will make an update for the Elf GSM shortly?
I am not sure about that.
I asked them about that a few week ago and they said they won't make an update soon.

Yipee!!! There.
Kidding aside, pal, Both the ELF and VOGUE are HTC Touch devices. The Elf is the GSM version (meaning you have to use a SIM Card on it) and the Vogue is the CDMA version. If you don't use a SIM card, then that's the CDMA version. You have a Vogue Touch.
If it worked for you and you use a SIM card, let me know, 'cause I'm gonna update my device too!
Thanks.

I read somewhere in these forums where this guy posted HTC Customer Service's reply to his email. He was asking if they had plans of releasing a WM6.1 update, and HTC replied that there will be one very soon...
I really hope they pull through this time.

After reading this thread I checked out HTC's website and they show an Operating System Update for the HTC Touch (GSM) from August 4th.
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=88&cat=2&dl_id=25
At the bottom you are required to enter your S/N. I get an error (upgrade not suitable for your device) after I enter the S/N for my Rogers Elfin. Is this an update to 6.1?

I think so, Even I am getting same error when I enter serial no of my phone. I think this update has been release only for specific versions of HTC Touch GSM phones. It might be for elfin, which is also called as HTC touch..

Link removed..
Link for downloading the Rom update has been removed from HTC website.. I just checked it...

Umm...the link is still the same since the last time i checked it. However, the "invalid serial number" issue continues...

i try my on my elfin and same problem===>Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.

I have a Touch GSM and I'm getting the same error message

Ok, it was already confirmed a couple of weeks ago that it's not going to work, so don't waste your time trying.
HTC mixed up their CDMA Touch with the GSM Touch... so the download link was on the wrong page (the GSM Touch one).

Omnia bootload mode available?
Hi all
Anyone know if there is a bootload mode for Omnia?
I was updating my phone using the new firmware and it was halfway through 'file 2' and my computer froze up! All I could do was reboot the computer.
Now my phone is dead. It does not get recognised by ActiveSync to try to run the firmware again. The only thing that comes up on the phone is the first 'Samsung Omnia' logo.
Any Ideas?
Cheers

The only way to repair your Omnia (for the moment), is to take it to Samsung Center Service, with this update from Samsung, you don't lose the waranty even if somethig goes wrong at update.
Read the FAQ on samsung update site

Hey there, cool to see omnia users on xda-dev
Maybe mine got shipped with a different rom, coz I already had google launcher in programs (but not the other changes).
Could you please all list your device infos, to check whether we all got the same or not ?
Here are mine : pda/phone i900DXHG2, bluetooth 2.0.3 & 2.0.1, wifi 0.4.3.1 & 1.0
You can find everything under settings -> system -> version
Also, here is another board with dedicated section for omnia
Do you know any other board ? There's also ppcsg with many infos but no dedicated section.
I tried a few button combination to achieve either a hardreset or bootloader access, but couldn't find anything up now.
Maybe with a microsd card and a password file, as on some other devices.
Any trick to share ?
niko

Here is my data (german rom):
PDA i900XGHG5/BHHG6
Phone i900XXHG3
BT 2.0.3 / 2.0.1
WiFi 0.4.3.1 / 1.0

thx for sharing, looks like there already are many rom versions for omnia, I guess this is a very good thing.
Any special issue or special thing about this rom ?
Just found that for hardware hardreset, might help:

Omnia Rom
Knowing this new rom is for Singapore only. Can Malaysia version use it? Any problem if we flash it with Singapore one?

Lagging
I had gotten an Omnia sometime last month. Before and after updating to their(Samsung) new official ROM, the Omnia stills seems to be lagging under performing. What could the problem be? The last update was at the service center.
Any good roms to recommend?

you ALL need to read i900.modaco.com and check out the ROM FAQ at the top.
It tells you how the names of the roms translate, what they mean and how it affects you. It will also tell you about the latest roms and which have been tested including the latest J5 rom. It will also tell you about the two methods you have for rom flashing.

Hi there...
I read a lot about the upgrade dell'Omnia, opinions are more varied ..
I feel to receive a 3G dual-band: 900 and Umts 2100 and not Gsm: Quad Band (850/900/1800/1900).
Believe could be a problem using the new rom official from Samsung (i900XIHJ3 )...???...
Thanks to those who have the patience to answer

Someone know if I buy a Polish Omnia if I can Rom update it to English??
Or is it like HTC,, Instal SPl flash rom?

Touch Screen Keys "Menu & Back Buttons"

Hi all,
I was wondering if any of you have had, or are having any problems with the soft touch keys (Menu and Back buttons) on their SGS? Mine don't work. I think I may have, by accident, updated the firmware and now they don't work. Is there a way to get it back working again? I installed Darkys V8 rom and I saw the SGS Tools app and within secret codes I saw Touchscreen Firmwareversion. I clicked on Touch Key FW update. I thought I would get a warning before it actually began to update. My version says Phone's Touch Key FW version :0xa9 and the other is part's Touch key FW version: 0xa9. Can someone with SGS Tools app run it and check to see if there's matches mine. So run the app and then go to Secret Codes and then scroll down to Touchscreen Firmwareversion and check what version you are using.
Thanks so much,
Chevy

Never done the update
Phone's Touch Key FW version: 0xa9
Part's Touch Key FW version: 0xa9
I would try flashing a stock firmware through odin to see if it would reversible. Sorry couldn't be of more help.

Thanks so much!!
Looks like maybe the firmware didn't get update because your numbers are the same as mine. I've tried that, but it didn't seem to work. I'll try again. Just wondering weather that firmware is in the rom or within the hardware.
Thanks,
Chevy

I have had two Galaxy s bought to me with this problem and both times it was hardware.
If you are around Blackpool i would be able to fix it.

So it sounds like I'll have to get a replacement. BTW how can you fix it?
Chevy

Replace the LCD. As its 80% of the phone in one part.
Phone only has like 4 parts its crazy

So I guess there's no way to software fix it.
Sent from my GT-I9000 using XDA App

It might work but the two I had did need hardware.
It is an in warranty fix if you have a service centre by you.

LG-G-2 after update latest vertion screen not work

help please i have 2 piece lg g-2 after update latest vertion screen not work how to solved problem i have big problem with client ..tnx.

Which g2 do you have? Which ROM did you try to update? The touch doesn't work or is the screen blank?

help with digitizer dpi

ok let me try to explain.
after flashing my note for the uhmphteenth time for some reason the touch is wrong!!
i mean very wrong as if the digitizer thinks the display is FHD instead of QHD.
how can this happen and how do i fix this?

i have seen this before on xda think the solution was the secret code menu and update the touch firmware there.
Can't promise anything since i did not try this myself.
*#2663# is the code for touch panel firmware menu.

WOW!!!
That did the trick!! Just updated TSP FW and now everything works fine!
thanks for the help SquirtingCherry! :good:
