I need a ROM Upgrade, but I really don´t know which version, or download I should stick to. This forum are filled with different versions and so on. Can someone please adwise me, in which version of ROM-and Radio I should download, and where to download it?
in the 1.60.* rom upgrades the os rom and radio rom are all identical. they only differ in the contents of the extended rom. I think softworkz is working on a page that lists the differences.
I think there are 3 main varieties of the extended rom: O2, t-mobile, qtek.
Thanks to Itsme for the info.
Two weeks ago I read in the forum that a new ROM has been announced to be released in February, supposedly to fix mainly the BT limited profiles support. The issue has gone without further mentions.....
In the meantime, looking for some support, Iv'e found Expansys has discontinued the Qtek 2020, although the i-mate and O2 are still announced. Does it have any meaning with the Qtek support? (Obviously the worst supported one of all XDAII brands)
Iv'e gone through a recent experience: Sony Ericsson launched the P900 just 3 months after I got my P800: no support, no upgrades, nothing.... I've passed finally this one to my wife.
Could it happen to the XDAII?
:?
Highly unlikely that O2 will do that, Looking Glass. O2 is not going to bring a new version to the market for quite some time - and they just release an upgrade to WM2003 for the old device XDA I.

Palermo, very simple question: WHY? Just because many people talk about using ROMs in languages and for devices that are not identical with yours doesn't meant that you have to do the same thing. I'm so tempted myself but I'd rather wait to get something that is meant for my device.

Hello :
Does anyone already have the new htc rom ?
Thnks a Lot
L
All the roms we have are listed here, if what you are looking for is not here, we don't have it:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Great ! We always try to find what is new....i know the wiki....
The idea is to catch the rom somewhere in the world....do you get ???
Here's my take on this:
I believe that HTC themselves are part of the developer block behind the various Operator Hermes releases. I believe they did the DoPod update and they're doing Cingular now. With each progressive update, the list of issues gets smaller, but their own resources are being consumed with operator QA cycles.
That being said and given that the TyTN is HTC's "flagship" version of the Hermes, I'm going to go out on a limb and predict that the TyTN ROM update will be AKU3.0 and will be released sometime after the Cingular 8525 ROM development has concluded.
This is just a hunch on my part, but if it makes a certain (twisted) amount of sense if you think about it. If its true, we won't see the next TyTN ROM until the Oct-Nov timeframe. If its AKU3.0 it'll be worth the wait however. Based on my xp with the new Cingular ROM, I can see that they are stretching AKU2.6 in an attempt to fix the A2DP issue. Its better, but something is wrong with the base Architecture IMO. HTC will really need some fundamental "plumbing" modifications from M$ to make A2DP work well on the TyTN and that is one of the big promises of AKU3.0.
Interesting insight, Sleuth... one can only hope!
I would say HTC is heads down prioritising finishing the ROMs for the several new devices that are coming out Oct-Nov, ready for Christmas. New product completion usually takes precedence over support, especially since we are not providing any ongoing support revenue for HTC.
I'd also say that Tytn has been a buggy and problematic release for HTC. And given that the newer products will have similar internals, HTC is trying to up the quality on these. It's quite a sensible product strategy to release a new hardware/software platform (Tytn being first) to a smaller market (keyboard PDAs must sell less than non-keyboard ones), find out the problems, and learn from these before releasing the products that will reach a wider audience.
That's the glass-half-empty take on this for sure montyA...
That's what working 14 hour days for a software developer will do to ya!
with the Wizard, HTC (or qtek) managed to get out a bug-fix rom early (the 1.67 rom), and then made everyone wait for the AKU2 rom (the 2.x roms) while they worked on the Cingular, t-mobile, etc roms.
bummer that they can't do the same here and give us a bug-fix rom while we wait for the AKU3 rom release...
Now that cingular released a ship date of Nov 16 for the 8525 I would really like to get my hand on the final shipping ROM. Does anyone know when this would be available? I guess PTT will not be working in the initial release.
I would like to see a copy of this rom too. We can only hope that austin_boy decides to help us out here...
Im with you guys
Yup,
I would like to see the shipping ROM myself... I want to see if there are any enhancments over the 1.34 ROM

I'll have one on the 16th but I realize I can't dump a flashable ROM from it. I can, however, provide the Extended Rom contents until a flashable ROM is available.
Where's da man "austin_boy"?
I would at least like to have the radio settings so I can use them on my HTC branded device.
I couldn't wait for the 8525 and preferred the style of the TyTN so I went that route... will be here Thursday. This will be my first PPC phone, having had several SP devices and Treos.
If I understand this correctly, the extended ROM houses all of the carrier-specific settings, branding, applications, etc? If so then I can just pick and choose what Cingular-specific stuff I want on my TyTN? If that's the case, sounds easy enough. I'd love to have the production 8525 extended ROM as soon as some one can post it!
I'd also like to know what versions Cingular ended up at... radio, boot loader, ROM and all that. I'm wondering how the TyTN radio will perform here in Seattle compared to the 8525. Does anyone know if Cingular tweaked the 8525's radio ROM to their network?
TyTn vs 8525 ROM's
what would be the pro's and con's.
rom 1.18.255.3
7-22-2006
radio 1.03.03.10
I have searched the forum, but I found some people saying I can do that. Some said the FUZE has different hardware and cannot be flashed into HTC official firmware. Which is the correct answer?
If I really can, what else should I beware of? Any thing will not work after the flash?
Thanks.
Yes you can...
For starters your keyboard mapping will be wrong, but that is easily fixed by any number of CABs you can find in the forum. You also won't have any of the AT&T special apps.
I guess the real question is "why"?
If you're going to go through the effort of flashing, it makes much more sense to flash in one of the cooked ROMs that offer more features.

I agree with Rob - Why would you want to? Unless say you are modding it to include the front facing camera and want the rom to be able to take advantage of that. Other wise you will have to jump through hoops just to get it to work.

Because the original HTC rom is thoroughly tested and, HTC did make it since they made the hardware i believe they know the best software for it as well.
No offense to the cooks and all but I have not come across a faster, smoother, bug-free rom than the "Asia Build 20764" released on march 16th.
Even though I like the cool look aof the custom roms thereis no competing with the performance of the original HTC roms.
I agree with Stalix. I personally just prefer the official HTC firmware. Apparently, HTC know their hardware and have working with their software in this field for long, they should have a more stable firmware. And I personally hate to see at&t logos in my phone.(does FUZE have those logos?)
Same idea when I install my PC, I would install Microsoft official version not those modded version. They may have bug or viruses due to their experience of modding.
So on the forum what kid of key word means it's official HTC firmware? I have seen hundreds of firmware here.

They also do not turn on certain features. Take a look at all the power management features you can turn on with Advance Config. They skip out on a lot stuff so then they do not have to support it. If you have more things to support then you need a bigger support staff which is more money out the door for them...A ROM (like mine) based on an official release can be much more faster, stable and more enjoyable than a OEM ROM. Look at the TytN II...it can use the YouTube app fine but why do they not include it...

Let's recall that approx 10 months ago, the big breakthrough in this community for stable reliable 6.1 TytN II ROMs, was the release in May of 6.1 WWE by HTC. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
Nothing wrong with checking out (or using) the stock releases...
How can I revert cooked ROMs back to OEM HTC ROM?
thanks
I have done the flash!
Yeah I have done the flash to my fuze and the UK rom is the best way to go. I love the boot screen saying Touch Pro! You will definitely need the keyboard fix as stated earlier. You will need to find a UK serial so you can grab the rom. There is one in the xda archive. Also, get a calculator cab because the stock one is not always the best. They are also on here. When flashing the HTC rom it will take a couple of more minutes than the others. Mine was stuck on 11% for a 2 minutes. But it will complete beautifully. So also It is very stable. Let me know how you like it.

Yea but you have to also realize that all "cooked ROMs" are based off an official build in the first place.
Take a look at the ROMs available now for the KAISER; they are much better and much improved as developers are able to port updated applications to older devices, improving their performance, and functionality.
If HTC Software was so great, developers wouldnt be looking at other 3D drivers from devices such as the Omnia or the ATI 3D drivers, to improve their devices.
EDIT: To answer the original thread makers question, yes you can flash an HTC ROM to your Fuze provided you have HARDSPL'd your device first. The only thing you would need to change is the keyboard mapping which can be done by a .CAB

This. HTC might "know thier hardware" but that's exactly why you take their official ROM and modify it. Then I have my Fuze settings without running keyboard customization, better apps and tools that aren't in the official ROM, and tweaks to make it even faster. Best of both worlds.
i dont deal with cook Roms anymore, I got out of that business since the MDA Wizard.
Since then I have owned the Treo 750, ATT 8525, HTC TYNT II, and now the FUZE (touch Pro) and I have sticked to official release ROMS.
Its a personal choice really. I have had great experiences with Official Roms and I can do all the tweaks and add all the cabs my self.
So sad to see this Fuze forum flooded with so many cook ROMS. Everybody wants to be a Chef these days. I just feel bad for all the new bees coming in here and can't even decide which ROM to use

so where would a 'newb' go to find a nice stock rom that isnt cooked? seems like all the roms here are cooked to some extent or another.
No worries with flashing Touch PRO HTC roms or cooked roms on the ATT Fuze
I am currently using WM6.5 for the Touch PRO on an unlocked Fuze with a Canadian 3G provider with ZERO problems !

go to the Raphael Wiki page and will link you to the proper page for download
3g settings and link!
First off the rom for official download will be found at the following:
www.htc.com/europe
Then you will need the UK S/N code which is as follows:
HT833K018918
This was in the archive much props to who uploaded it however I will repost it as to the fact it was not easy to find. This will give you the UK rom! I love the video that plays at the beginning! It is great with battery life as well! So then grab your fuze keyboard fix and it is as if it were always a touch pro!!
Cheers and enjoy!
Sandman!

Well it is a ROM DEVELOPMENT forum. Having choices is kinda the point since which ROM to use is personal preference. Personally, since UC works well, I change between them quite a bit.
I've been using my advantage happily for the last few years and hadn't even noticed that T-mobile UK had released a new ROM "RUU_Athena_TMO_UK_1.12.110.6_1.32.00.00_Ship" from my current "Athena_WM6_TMUK_2.35.110.4".
Has anybody tried this run as I'm reluctant to upgrade if there is no significant benefit? I do currently have a problem with upgrading .net compact framework 3.5 for this (Auto Active Sync Bluetooth developers program) but I think more to do with the installation location needing to be on a SD rather than in the main memory.
Anyway it would be interesting to hear if there are any AMEO/75xx/Advantage users still enjoying their smartphone.
Any help appreciated as there seems to be no information at the T-mobile download website regarding the change log in this ROM. In fact I rang them and they told me to ring HTC which I did. HTC told me that the hot fixes on their website could not be applied to the T-mobile AMEO and that I needed to contact T-mobile of their ROM was specific to their requirements from T-Mobile requests to them for fixes.
Returning to T-mobile technical support they then told me that their internal developers do not give a list of fixes in the ROM and that if I wanted to try the ROM on my own risk it was up to me! I then told T-mobile technical support that in previous ROM upgrades they had in fact provided the change log and list of hot fixes and I was told by the technical support manager that T-mobile policy had changed and they would no longer be providing support or non-specific ROM changes and if anything wasn't broken on my AMEO not to apply the ROM.
What a joke, I now vow never to buy another T-mobile branded HTC product and I'm hoping that you guys can recommend going directly HTC for better technical support in the future? No rush and waiting for snapdragon products below are believes 1 GHz processors and possibly moving over to android OS as Microsoft's agnostic stance with regard to service providers stifling upgrade policy has left a bad taste in my mouth for the last time.
In the meantime any help on the RUU_Athena....0.6 latest ROM functionality would be greatly appreciated.
Hi there !
Actually Htc worldwide gives u lousy service - that's a fact seeing numerous complain of unfriendly services from Htc - if u flash any rom besides their official ones . They dont like to give or share advise on other roms . But without xda and other forum developers , i think we wont buy Htc as a first choice . This is something we have to live with it if we wants to flash and enjoy different roms - no choice at the moment unless some brand can come up with a more stable pda phone !
on HTC
HTC has very poor after sales service support. The problem is that they are only interested in selling you new phones. They are not keen to upgrade the rom to make the machine better. This is one reason why they will fail. Its quite sad that they have a headstart vs iphone. But now they are losing their shirts to iphone
Hello to all the XDA community. Before starting, I want to clarify that I am French, so I apologize for the possibly questionable translation by Google Translate.
As indicated in the title, my request concerns a very old smartphone model: the Samsung Omnia i900, or Player Addict in France. I come to you with a very specific request and, even if I have few illusions, I hope that someone can help me...
As the title of this file indicates, this is a Samsung Omnia i900 (Player Addict). At the time of the next Samsung S22, and despite its age, I am still using a copy that is almost 13 years old this year (I am 16) and which, as surprising as it may seem, still works wonderfully. I mention in passing that he took a little dip in the bathtub 10 years ago, but it's only a distant memory since he recovered on his own. I mainly use it as an MP3 player, the Web is closing itself more and more to it, but I'm so attached to it that I've embarked on a real restoration campaign, just to "update" it, if 'you can update an obsolete operating system… I then discovered XDA Developers, and, thanks to you, the little smartphone has almost come back to life. Thanks to some old forum files, I unlocked it, installed Net Compact Framework 3.5, experimented with SPB Mobile Shell 3.5, changed some registry values (changed logo on startup), etc… In addition, I also modernized thanks to the Wayback Machine where I was able to download the latest version of Google Maps and Opera Mobile 10. Finally, I replaced the touch screen myself and I am currently waiting for a new "body", making it an almost new laptop. But now, I want to go to the next step, and that's the subject of this file: the ROM.
After this slight update, I came up with the idea of flashing my current ROM for a more recent ROM. The smartphone was indeed purchased from SFR, and therefore runs on the operator ROM. I therefore want to replace it with the latest French ROM without an operator, in order to fully exploit it. Moreover, it has never been updated, therefore never flashed, which implies the presence of bugs which could have been modified afterwards. Thanks to your forum, I pretty much know how to do it, and am fully aware that wrong flashing leads to bricking, and flashing also leads to loss of all data. It's a risk I'm willing to take. I only miss one thing: the precious ROM. However, for 10 years, the various links and sites have disappeared, and even a small turn on the Wayback Machine does not give blazing results at first sight. And when it comes to finding a French version…
It is for this reason that I am appealing to you today. I have been able to know, by exploring your old files, that there have been a lot of custom ROMs on this forum, and, given all the advice you have given, I think you are the most able to help me. to help. So, I'm looking for a ROM for Samsung Omnia i900 (aka Player Addict), in French, and official. Official, for the version under WM 6.1 anyway. On the other hand, I would also be tempted by a custom ROM for WM 6.5. I know the OS was never "officially" released on the Omnia i900, but I know many of you have made your own ROMs to accommodate it. I particularly like the Titanium Today, and the more finger-friendly use. Does anyone among you have in their old hard drives, in their archives, an official French ROM under WM 6.1, or a custom ROM for WM 6.5? I specify that if it is WM 6.5, I would need the widgets and the Samsung Today. I may be difficult, but I would like to put a newer system (especially not Android, I have my Galaxy S5 for that), while keeping the features originally present. Regarding flashing, having a computer running Windows 11, would a possible flashing be possible? I thought I heard flashing could go wrong if it wasn't Windows XP...
I apologize again for disturbing, I suspect that this request is very particular, given the age of the device, but I keep the hope that someone will still have at home the precious Grail that will allow me to modernize once and for all my venerable device.
For information, my Omnia runs under the XHIB3/AEIB2 ROM (I think I read the right line…), and this is the 16 Go version.
I look forward to hearing from you!
Nicolas
PS: This is my first time writing on a forum, so I apologize if I missed any steps when posting this file… I'm only a high school student, not a developer, so I don't know not if I'm really allowed to post on your forum...
