For English ROM
ROM version: 1.60.00 WWE
Radio version: 1.08.00
ExtROM version: 1.60.44
MMS Client: 1.6.0.8
Has anyone tried this combination yet? If so, would you recomend it? Currently, I ahve no problems with the existing ROM and RS.
Can anyone advise on this?
I tried the upgrade and it worked. Although I don't like the way it leaves your screen. You have no idea the thing is finished. Just leaves a message saying PLEASE WAIT. I left it overnight doing it's thing so it must have finished.
The BIG problem is that you can't restore your backup files if you used like me Activesync. If anyone can recommend a backup and restore program that I can use. I still would like to get onto the upgrade.
For mms client there arent problems..but this Radio Stack with New Os Rom..Dunno.. Try at your own risk. lol
Upgraded to O2's Asia upgrade release
Ok guys, I took the dive to upgrade before any replies. Was crossing my fingers and hope for it to at least be on par with the older version.
It has been 24 hrs since. Noticed that it performed faster when launching and closing applications. But I pocket ie still could not read certain links from yahoo weather.
MMS sending is very much faster as gprs take a shorter time to loggon. Radio wise, have yet to try out places with bad reception eg 1bar.
Overall, still happy that it has yet to show signs of bugs.
The only question bugging me is why is the ROM date 12/3/03? Way before the machine was released.
I am using RomVer:1.60.00WWE 12/3/03 RadioVer: 1.08.00 ExtRomVer:1.60.44. Could anyone give me a suggestion on what upgrade I can place on my XDAII? I run copilot live on it and works well but battery life is crap.
Can I install the XDA Developers rom or will it not work with the Australian XDAII version???
:roll: THANKS
O2 Asia has a 1.66 ROM, which seems to be on all of the devices that have been bought recently. I had it put on mine when I had it repaired last week. I havent noticed any major differences between 1.60 and 1.66 and when I called O2, they said the only differences were that some extra carriers details were added to the AutoConfig tool. I think there were a couple of minor changes too, but nothing great.
I haven't tried any of the Xda Dev's ROM's, but there is no reason why they wouldn't work. You will be voiding your warranty by aplying them though.
HTH's

THANKS
WIth the setup I have at the moment I find that there are a few bugs like system hanging a lot.
is there a place where I can download ready made roms for the XDAII?
I have just installed Omega1 Batterypack2003 and I am having issues with it. the program keeps hanging and I have to soft reset the device for it to start again. Is anyone familiar travroute and a bluetooth gps. And tweaks or problems they are having.
I can not get updates for the maps in australia as the site takes me to the overseas updates
Any help would be great.

I'm currently a cingular customer with a Tytn. I was wondering if there's any real benifit to upgrading to the Cingular Rom or if I'm better just sticking with HTC's Rom?
From what I've read - you loose the functionality of the 5th button (which a hack has recently been developed to regain that) and that the video button stops working (as well as loosing the video chat functionality all together). Not that I use the front video cam much but does this mean that the video camera doesn't function at all?
So far what little I've read makes me wonder what why I would want to use the cingular rom (YYYYEeeeaaahhhhh - I can have another branded OS!). I think I must be missing something important to loose the functionality of some buttons and possibly the front camera - I can't believe everybody just wants that cingular logo all over the place so there must be something big I'm missin here
Hi, I must be missin something also..cause I haven't a clue either why someone would go to the cingular rom or for that matter any branded rom.
I'm sure that there are a lot of people looking for better performance, stability and/or resolution of annoying issues like screen alignment
Whether any of these can be resolved by using a different ROM version remains to be seen.
Ok, I'll field some answers here.. Why did I go with the Cingular rom? (reasons not necessarily in order of importance). First let me say that my operator is Cingular and I'm running the 1.31 AKU2.6 Cingular release with the 1.13 radio.
1. No more roaming triangles on Cingular's network.
2. Better Radio. I have much better reception with this ROM
3. Better overall performance
4. Those nagging low battery tones are fixed
5. Better A2DP performance (although I believe its related to #3)
6. The "won't come back from powersave" bug is fixed
From a branding perspective, I aborted the Cingular customization, instead loading the TyTN extRom and I'm happy to report that there is zero Cingular branding on my TyTN still.
What did I loose? Pressing the video call button doesn't bring up the video call application (yet.... heheheheh). This isn't a priority issue for me though since Cingular doesn't have the infrastructure to support video calling.
btw: to see how well your front video camera works, go here and load up the CoolCamera 1.15 beta. As a proof of concept, this little applicaton is huge. Video calling may never catch on in the US you see, however as the link shows, the front camera is api connected which means that vendors like Skype or the next iteration of Mobile Communicator will very likely support it as well. IMO this is the real reason for a front video camera.
I can hardly wait...
@sleuth
Why didn't you do the 1.34 cingular rom? I am trying to decide if I should load one of the cingular rom's or wait for the next htc rom. I am currently running the htc tytn shipped rom with the 1.16 radio.
I had heard that the next htc tytn rom may include aku3..any thoughts

Thanks - sounds like some good reasons to use the Cingular Rom.
So quick follow up on the Video camera - it sounds like it still functions -the button just no longer brings up the video camera ap (is this key mapable on the cingular version or do you loose the button all together currently?)
Thanks again!
@chymmylt:Right now, the video call button is lost (unmappable by any applicaton). When I get a few minutes I'll work on it...
@eagle 1: I jumped on the 1.31 ROM just before the 1.34 ROM came out. AFAIK, the only fix in the 1.34 ROM that wasn't in 1.31 has to do with the battery level display after return from powersave mode. In v1.34, instead of starting at 100% and then dropping down to the correct level, it now starts at "unknown" then changes to the correct level.
Also, the 1.31 ROM is an AKU 2.6 vs. AKU 2.3 release. Nothing different here other than bragging rights I guess
Anyway, the small differences between the ROMs wasn't worth the 2 hour downgrade/upgrade process. I'll reflash again when the latest TyTN ROM is released which will be an AKU 3.x variant.
I upgraded my JasJam radio but I did not anything else. My device seems to be pretty stable with I-mate rom right now and I don't feel like loosing my video call button. I am waiting for AKU 3.x before investing the time it takes to do upgrades now. I could not believe how long it took just for the radio.
It's not like you can Video Call on Cingular's network anyway...
Agreed, but I can use the button for other things.

Why not? I haven't tried it, as I know no one else who has a TyTN...
Cingular's network is a "best effort" data delivery infrastructure and lacks the QOS enhancements needed to support video calling. This is according to austin_boy (the source for all Cingular ROMS here).
From what I've heard from Boy Genius, they disabled it on their network, so unless someone can figure a way out, it's not going to work.

True but I spend a 3rd of the year in Europe where I can use it (not that I have but I have a number of friends who have phones capable) and it'd be nice to have the ability if I need it
Anyone managed to downgrade from Cingular 1.31 (bootloader 1.06) tried all the tricks on wiki but without success. Probably its because of bootloader version, as from 1.04 is quite easy to go back with rom. Do You have any ideas?
@lukjod: you need a rom matching your CID with bootloader 1.04 to be able to downgrade.
The question is were to get it.... and in the past i remember with the s100 to hack the files and put t-mob003 (my device code) in the files to flash even a rom that was not correct... Any chance doing this also?

The video call feature is still there (pressing soft button that says "Video Call" on the Phone app works just fine). You get this back when you reload the TyTN extrom instead of the Cingular. Just no link to the physical button. I need to play around on a ROM that has a working video call button to see how it's done before I can fix this.

So if I upgraded to Cingulars rom but used the extrom from the TyTN it would look and have all the functions of the TyTN roms (except the 2 keys with mapping issues - one you've kindly fixed) but the benifits of a more currently tweeked OS? Aside from having the mapping issues and having to downgrade to upgrade in the future (but being a TyTN I shouldn't have problems with this right?) are there any other downsides to doing this?
Thanks
Nope... other than the fact that the upgrade process itself is a bit risky. This is because it takes 25 minutes to accomplish and any interruptions during the process itself can brick your device.
Close all apps, disable screen saver and use a rear USB port when flashing then walk away and go do something else for 25 minutes or the suspense will drive you nuts.....
Just upgraded my phone to WM6.1 and enjoying it, but I heard something about the ability to upgrade the radio rom on the phone.
I've heard that some radio roms can increase reception, but also decrease battery life and cause some calls and messages to miss.
I'm using T-Mobile USA on my Wizard. Have there been a better radio rom that doesn't cause these issues, or should I just stay with my current radio rom?
if you have no problem with your current radio i would stick with it. read lots of posts on radio upgrading. some people get great results and some have problems.
from what i have red 2,19 seems to be the most stable.
you can always test it for yourself. all the radios are availible in the ftp server including the original t mobille usa radio
Hey Duke what rom are you using?
Official Tmobile rom with WM5 and radio 2.25.11 never missed any calls for me, as soon as i went with TNT's 6.1 latest rom, i started missing calls and voicemails. Flashed to 2.71.11 radio - same, now i applied the radio cab fix from here(post #6) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317331&highlight=tmobile+Radio+ROM (per advise of mmeyer) and testing currently. If that doesnt work - will flash to 2.19 that seems to work for most US MDA Tmobile people. Just hate to go to older radio that has much worse reception than even 2.25
Hi all,
in all the ROM-threads we talk about the different radio-versions. As call quality has been THE major issue on our device I decided to make up a new thread only for radio. Hope it is ok..
I`m using Novembre5 german rom #1 with radio 5005.1600.05. The complaints about" I can´t hear you..." seem to increase in comparison to the official toshiba Swiss ROM I used before. I`m using german vodafone network, dk if its important.
Maybe we can compare our experiences with the different radios to help our great cooks to implement the"perfekt" radio for our TG01..
THX to all
DubRas
I guess it will depend were you are. I have tried most of the roms that had been posted here. For the purpose of testing the call quality I spent about two hours trying the roms. The original problem I had with this is the person the other end sometimes can not here me properly. A problem I did not have since I upgraded to the official toshiba rom 6.5.0. When I had november's 6.5.5 rom running to my surprise i had a worst call quality, the qualityon both sides was bad. So I tested the different roms and as a result the radio from the official toshiba upgrade is the best one for me. I am in the UK so it might be a different case with other people on other country.
And just a note the radio version that everyone is using now is originaly release for china so it might not be design for other countrys network. I guess!
Also I have posted this in a couple of threads and aragon said that he can do a tool to easily change the radio on roms. I hope it materials. so thubs up from me.
Just to add. Im using aragon's TG01 Debranded Orange UK - 6.5.0 ROM v0.010 which works perfect for me at the moment. loads of space for program and ram after installing all my apps especially for call quality issue.
Big up.. to aragon
so maybe we, the "european" users, should vote for an 6.5.5-ROM with the official UK-Radio. Or, if aragon gets an "easy-radio-update-tool" to work, we might be able to do it ourselves...
It seems that FFBOY radio layer is better, that what I can see, but it's not easy, because all ROM works well, with some diffenreces.... No need of SRSWOW with ffboy's ROM.

I'm from Romania this means from Europe here only work the latest Hong Kong radio driver 5005.1600.05 the other one from official UK keep getting problems in call quality.
Do i get that right: there seems to be no easy answer to the question: which is the best radio? Cant believe it, but my technical knowledge is maybe much too low for that. The "Easy-radio-update-tool" might be a possibility for every single user to find the radio that works best for him and in his country/network. So hopefully a tool like that will appear sometime in the future.
im using the newest offical tosh 6.5 update cooked with the
5005.1600.05 radio by aragon this has drastically improved my sound quality i no longer need srswow plus as it the offical rom there is not bugs ect

What country of you used
I use WM 6.1, but only chinese version... i don't understand nothing, but....... radio works perfectly in my country. it's the first time, when my phone works good, when i am talking with somebody... you can find this rom in the ffboys rom link (somewhere in last posts there is a link for 6.1)I AM VERY SORRY FOR MY BAD ENGLISH

Strange. I've been using ffboy's Sense Rom with 5005.1600.05 radio and my call quality is worse. Loads of people here are saying it was better for them. Mind you, it was the same story with the original 6.5 update. Loss of people had problems, but others swore blind that it was perfect for them, with some even suggesting that we must have had a bad batch with a unique hardware fault. I think it's fair to say I ruled that out. I've had 8, some of them refurbs, but the last two were brand new replacements. They were all the same for me. A couple of people suggested it was more to do with varying quality in beteen gsm or 3g areas of network coverage.
One thing I noticed that helped sometimes was to change the volume slider up or down and for some strange reason, the other caller would say that it was better, but then it would get bad again after a few minutes. I once tried dialing my own number and leaving a message on my own voicemail to see what was happening and I discovered that the sound started breaking up particularly at the point when the screen turns off shortly after the start of the call. Anyone else noticed that?
Confused.
Like some others, I found the latest UK Toshiba update to be the best for me so far, although not prefect.
Has anyone had problems with 5005.1700.05?
i had big problems with the 1700 radio. So i had to go back on a rom with a 1600 radio.
I tried 1600 radio version it is not that good. My friend can hear heavy echoing and the time for phone to response is too slow(in my case 20 secs later). WM6.1 has much better radio quality.
I used Japanese version of tg01, when flashed Uk rom radio dont changed, how to change radio for this version ? plz help me, this radio version is really suck (sorry my bad english)

Hi Everybody,
I would like to know ,What is the meaning of radio version number? 1500,1600,1700 it mean frequency?(5005.1500.05,5005.1600.05,5005.1700.05)

No frequency related, those(&many others) are radio software versions (generally fitted to certain ROM versions, depending on country?!), so far nobody knows precisely differences between them...
