... and horrible ClearType fonts. So, far 1.60 O2 asian is the best ROM. IMHO And it will not kill your XDA2, like 1.72 did to my poor imate which is on it's longa way to Dubai service centre
so anyone got version 1.02 or 1.03 will face 1.72(the nightmare lol its me :twisted: ) mine is 1.01 what is it mean??!
is there way to change it or upgrade it?? whats the diffrent?
Im thinking of downgrading, the 1.72 is stable. but not the radio stack, it sucks. dropping signal now and then, its really bad. 1.66 didnt have that problem..
1.72.104

No problem with 1.72.104 whatsoever - improvements in all aspects.
In fact i only have praises for it as a dream ROM.
Hi all,
I have no major complaints about this rom is seems quiet fast and stable.
It is in no way perfect but it newer than the others.

Hi
I just got me a new I-Mate And upgraded to the new ROM I-mate 1.72
The problem is as everyone have noticed already is with the cleartype fonts and that the device keeps on Hard resetting randomly.
So I wonder if theres a way to revert back to an old ROM version to get rid of all problems?
Help?
If you'd like to downgrade, have a look at this thread, http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=61.
There is another way to get rid of the clear type problem.
1. Download ace_ddi.dll from Here http://test.zyberlee.com/tzdn/files/ace_ddi.dll.
2. Replace the old one on your device window directory with this one.
3. Softreset, then you will see.

thanks alot!
I'll try to follow the steps in the link and see how it goes through
Sorry, but the way posted in the link to downgrade didnt work.
And I ended up in the bootloader screen
Luckily I have backed up my ROM

I was doing exactly what the link was saying. And I was trying to downgrade from imate 1.72 to O2's 1.6 asia
perhaps the bootloader version has got something to do with this?
mine is v1.06

Same thing here. Bootloader 1.06 and no ability to downgrade to 1.60 ROM. But I am very happy with 1.72 i-MATE ROM and ClearType fix
Bootloader USB v 1.06
Hi,
I tried too to downgrade and now I'm stuck in the bootloader with only USB v1.06 on my XDA II screen.
Can someone tell me how to get out of this bootloader screen?
Thanks and
Merry Christmas to you all.
just connect your PDA to the cardle and upgrade to either ROM 1.66 or 1.72 in your bootloader mode
good luck
I really want to upgrade my MDA-II (1.60.00) into a higher version (imate or XDA-II 1.72.00), but I am afraid that it may cause problems.
Is that reasonable?

To me, yep, my imate "hangs" less times, and I feel it has better performance. I am not aware about other major improvments, they clame that battery lasts little longer, but I did not feel that.
re : upgrade or not ??
i have upgraded my xda2 to 1.72 rom (cooked rom, 1.72WWE, radio 1.17, ext rom 1.72.901), already 1 month and all work flawlessly.
XDA II 1.72.00 ??
i think, this rom is not available (official rom).
thanks
ajong
my device is MDA-II. May it give specific problems when I use upgrades designed for XDA-II or iMate?
not if you follow the instructions
of cause it may very well void your warrenty
and i dont think you can change back
I've extracted the radio ROM from latest Trinity ROM and packaged here as a standalone NBH radio upgrade:
HERM_RADIO_1.38.00.11_Only_SSPL.rarThis radio has HTC_BOOT 0108 and GPS enabled.
Keep in mind that the safest procedure to upgrade your radio right now is:
Flash Hard-SPL v1.10.Oli on your phone
Flash the desired radio upgrade using the RUU package
Both steps have to be done with phone connected to computer through USB cable and activesync enabled, Des SSPL will be pushed into your phone when the RUU starts.
Remember that when flashing a radio only you don't need to hard-reset your phone, so no data will be lost.
Enjoy!
Excellent! Have you given this radio a work-out yet??
still flashing 92%
Edit: Flashed and working fine (see attached image), but still haven't seen any noticeable difference
What news with this radio ? most stable, battery ingrasse ?

Pof ,I understand 1.10.Oli will somehow protect us from bricking device by flashing a wrong radio.But since it is base on 1.04 ,so it will not support Radio BL 0108,so if I am now having 0108 here,and I flash this rodio 1.38,and I got a bad flash,I still can not repair my device.Is that right?
Radio-BL 0108 or something newer?
Hope the battery-duration will be better than in 1.35 Radio
@qvik123: If that happens you have two options to unbrick your device:
1) wait for a hard SPL based on 1.09 (which AFAIK Des will release soon), once you have it reflash the radio again.
2) You will still be able to flash an OS only because hardSPL will still keep the "fake" SuperCID on your device, so flash a OS image with KITL enabled and then use the KITL mehtod to unbrick your device with Platform Builder.
By any means, if **** happens do not overwrite 1.10.Oli with other bootloader.
Thanks Pof,you just answered the question which kept me thinking since Hard SPL released.Flashing this one,now by 30%.
flashed 1.01 oli, flashed 1.38.00.11 - no problem, BUT when I flashing/updating (or possibly bricking ) device, I like to know what exactly is a differences between versions, only one think I know about 1.38.00.11 is, that this version have GPS enabled. Thats all. Is any changelog, or list of changed/updated/improved features inside of roms? I know, that you just dump this rom from device, but it is really nice to know, if it is necessary. perhaps we should created one special thread with differences between versions, to better orientation (sorry if I miss this one, but I think at this time doesnt exist)... guys - thx for your work anyway
Thanks Pof I am going to upgrade.
ok a little lost on the process can I just download the 1.38 file and that will upgrade it or do i have to do something to the boot loader first? Sorry for the simple question.
yes, the question is really simple. but there is one more think you can do... read all this thread, and also this one. all necessary information is in there. and if you dont want to have 700$ paperweight, I really recommend to read all information about flashing procedures in wiki - here before you start. in any case of question or problem, do not hesitate to write some posts, but if anybody ask similar question like you, without some reading, which, yes, need a some time, then If somebody want to find any relevant and usefull information, must read about 60 % pointless posts... it is nothing personal, just for your info. forums is about people, and people keep forums alive.
you did not provide us any information about you current version of OS/ROM, BL version, for me it was easy, just extracted Hard-SPL.zip, runned ROMUpgradeUt.exe - after reset I have oli BL, then you can run HERM_RADIO_1.38.00.11_Only_SSPL.rar.... there is much much more knowledge about that, so try wiki first, it is only for you own good.

Yes definatly read the wiki etc... but also do as sinmae has done and load a HardSPL first, this is especially relevant when flashing radios.

Unfortunately HTC keeps this information private, so there's no ChangeLog.
The radio was not dumped from a device, but extracted from 1.23.408.1 Italian Trinity ROM.

The download server was down now running!!!!!
Just upgraded to radio 1.38 from 1.35 and I am running xdalive first release WM6 on O2 3g. Since the upgrade I am pretty sure the phone signal is now stronger as I have tested it in areas around my home and outside that got no signal, especially near my pc. I can now make a call next to my pc with 3 bars on the signal meter! The signal does not drop so much, I will test further and report back any problems, but so far so good.
Please let me know how you get on.

I will let you know on that one as I had it fully charged for the radio upgrade. I will keep an eye on it and report back.
I was about to down grade my radio back to .1.27 or earlier beacause of my UTMS reception in Brisbane (AU) and also the battery life. So i will also let you all know how this goes.
I have Dpopd 818 Pro and upgrade to WM6, tried both WM6 Crossbow PDAViet ROM v3 and v4, both of them run into the issue where when the phone gets into stand by the phone does not ring when my friend call me.
I've update the Radio v2.61.21. and it doesn't help. Can anyone suggest the solution?
Update:
I downgrade it back to WM5, and the problem is not repro.
There must be some setting different to cause this issue.
Issue Resolved:
By downgrade the RADIO ROM to 2.19 solve the problem!
Same was for me with PDAViet ROM v3, after this I upgraded to V4 - and now 3 days without problems...

Did you try have your phone stand by for couple hours and try to call your phone from another phone, and see if your phone is ringing?
Thanks!
I have the same problem too, even with other rom(smart1, Aserg AKU 3.3.13 US). Now i've downgrade the radio rom to 2.19.21, seems fine now.
I also have 818pro with PDAViet 4.0.0.4 now.
After I installed 4.0.0.3a I also had this problem. But I solved the problem assigning a new sound as the default one. Don't use the ones that come with rom. Rather copy a new mp3 or wav to the phone and go to the file explorer and set that file as new ringtone.

For me, these settings WERE DIFFERENT!, and my prophet do not ring until set the same value for both...

My guess is that all these WM6 ROMs are stable by itself. It is when it fully loading with all sorts of you-know-what WM5 applications that something start stepping on something and "bugs" show up. My Chinese add-on caused me some headache with Windows Live and solved after about one and half month for the program to be identified.
The hardest part is nailing which program is "green" for the particular WM6 ROM.
What appls you have on the machine? How extensively you use your machine other than use it as a plain phone?
Please, Where can I find the RADIO rom 2.19?
Thanks
I am facing the problem. Please help me by giving more info about the Radio ROM downgrade.
Please provide the setup for the ROM as well as the steps to install it..do i need to reinstall everything?
I just realized that this happens when i miss a call..and do not clear it from notifications...

i already opened a thread about this and noone seems to be answering the question.. i am afraid my device is ruined already and most likely because of the new spl.. i am so upset.. the whole device is acting wierd, i even went back to ap3 and still having the same problems.. it seems to be the spl coz nothing else changed! i want to flash stock rom. any idea how to go back to normal???
Guess, all bros here prefer we have our device upgraded then otherwise.
I too encountered the bootloader loop after executing the AnthenaUpdater.
Best of all I cannot load AP4 and I cannot goto activesync mode.
Seeing the bootloader screen tell me there is hope, so next.
I flash AP3newspl by cmonex, http://htc-hackers.com/uploads/ap3newspl.zip
Not sure I re-flashed the AP3 rom, sorry, quite excited during the recovery process.
As soon as I get to see AP3, I continue instructions as prompted on screen until I have the
Activesync running. Once the sync is stable and established good connection with pc,
I immediately proceed and re-try flashing AnthenaUpdater.
It finally flashed the AP4 rom. The princess found the frog.
I hope my little experience may of help to you. Cheers.
I;ve also learn to leave the usb cable connected for a little longer to ensure all activities are completed.
hi, me too
I felt ap4.0 maybe is slow so i tried to go back to 7510(or 7501) original rom but stopped at loading..... scene
So i tried tried and flashed ap3.0 rom and t-mobile ...... but everytime rebooting device is starting as hardresetted.
Never come back to original rom never go to ap 4.0
so after rebooting ,as above posting, while activesync is active, I ran apupdater but the bootloader didn't come but hard restting_after scene so ap 3.0 or 7501 rom was starting....
desperatly, as soon as updater was finalized and before bootloader started, I pressed down volume_key+camera key +soft reset hole....
manually loading bootloader...
I succeeded in flashing ap 4.0
And felt good operating.
Everybody can experience this case .
This is from spl ver. I think.
^^
As far as you willingly go back to ap 4.0, your device will remain beatiful athena.
I think some explanations needed......
Is this my own world's case?
.......................................afraid.......

Really everyone should read this and all the info available before you flash!
as you have found out, there is no way to revert to the old SPL yet!
I downgraded to AP3 Old SPL, It runs fine. However, I got the following error with other Roms downgrade:
"FOUND SPL V1.20
DOWNLOAD SPL BEFORE V3.03 IS NOT ALLOWED"
What does it mean?
It means, as has been said MANY times before, if you upgrade to AP4 you CANNOT downgrade to anything except the hacked AP3.

Why didn't you read before upgrading? It was made quite clear that this was a now ROM that required a new SPL and could not be downgraded. Olinex has since made a version of AP3 that you can downgrade to and in future a full downgrade path will be available. It is not available yet.

Needing Downgrade - Waiting Patiently
First off - the AP4 is an excellent Rom - Great work! Thanks!!!! I was an early adaptor and unfortunately my headphone jack shorted out my internal speakers and now of course trying to reflash to the original HTC wm6 shipped rom so I can submit it to warranty, I found the dreaded spl-v3.50 not acceptable warning. Yes, we were forewarned about this (though I confess I missed it). So I URGE any of you who are still under warranty NOT TO UPGRADE to AP4 until Olipro benovolently provides us a true downgrade path to the factory roms or you are absolutely positive you don't want to make a waranty claim. If you are not under warranty - I highly recommend AP4. If you are under warranty I highly recommend staying with AP3 as you can downgrade AP3 to the original factory roms.
My two cents worth as I wait patiently for Olipros downgrade path to the original roms - and I will be donating handsomely for this...
hello
any progress from the dev team ? it is a great rom but for sale our athena it is best to downgrade and to instal a shipped rom...
Regards

are yiu sure this isn't just the problem that has affected just about every HTC phone and is easily fixed by poking either the headphone jack in and out a few times or wigling a matchstick/paperclipin the hole?

Not only from HTC, I encountered it with Atom and HP6828 device as well.
Poking to correct the contact may help but do not apply too much force.
The jack cannot be replaced individually, whole main board have to go,
as I learned from the service centre.
