Can anyone share with us information on version 1.72 for XDA2: features, benefits, pros, cons... ?
Is worth upgrading from O2 1.60 ?
thanks
There are allready many threads on this.
But to conclude:
If you don't have any issues with your current version: stay with it.
You might consider 1.72 (the Qtek or iMate versions, NOT the T-Mobile beta) especially when:
1. You need certain Bluetooth options (ie serial port protocol) and don't want to mess around with hacks or extra 'tools'
2. Battery life is important
For me these points were enough to DO the upgrade (coming from 1.63 T-Mobile NL). And very happy with it.
Keep in mind that (unless you find a 1.72 from your own operator) you will have quite some work with getting all the customisations right.
One of these days I will post a good working set (no issues in a month holiday!!) of customisations to be used as a an extended rom for T-Mobile NL
i'm currently using the T-Mobile ROM v1.72WWE had no problem with it. the batt life was improved noticeably. I was using the O2 ROM v1.66WWE
as for my bluetooth i'm using the widcomm BT-PPC/PE v1.0.0 build 1400. no problems with it except that it turns off whenever i set my phone to standby mode.
downlaod
i have a qtek 2020 with rom 1.66 and it is doing a lot of problem which version is better and where can i download it

i have 'salad rom' with asian flavour(Included 'auto configuration' & 'o2 connect) and happy with it.
rom 1.72WWE, radio 1.17, ext.rom 1.72.900 (main rom by Qteq, radio by T-mobile, ext.rom by edsubsoft).
untill now ;
phone, gprs, activesync, run program, MS BT stack, sms, mms ........are running well. (maybe i am lucky with it)
keep to my salad untill SE come out.
---------------
many thanks to [Krueger] Dr. Stein, mamaich, itsme, edsub...
you are great man.
Most of the post regarding ROM Salads and customizations are beyond what I wish to perform on my device. To dat I have only loaded T-Mobile ROM upgrades that required nothing more than loading them automatically. I currently have the T-Mobile U7K Beta on my MDA II.
Can someone please explain the following:
1. Is there another T-Mobile 1.72 WWE available that I can load, non-beta?
2. I see other Custom ROMs on this site that state T-Mobile. Can I simply load those automatically or will I have to get into country ID, .nbf files, etc?

Official T-Mobile
Hi. Gratefuled
maybe this can help you : :?: :?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=11169
ajong,
Thanks for the link. I have looked at that page/thread, but I think what I want is still not available.
I'm looking for an official T-Mobile 1.72 ROM, si I can get rid of the 1.72 Beta, or I'm looking for someone's custom ROM that I can load just like I could an official one. In other wors the custom I suppose would be ok, but I do not want to mess around with opeing the ROM and disecting and changing certain settings. Like I say, it just may not be out there.

Hi there,
after upgrading to WM6 (twice) i feel that the radio version (1.45.00.00) is less reliable than the one i had with WM5 (1.38.001),
about 10% of the calls i get, the phone doesn't ring at all and about 30% of the calls the phone only rings once and then stops,
overall reception in 3G is worse than it used to be.
is there a way to cook WM6 with the WM5 radio?
thanks
I THINK if you flash your device with Mobile 2005 you'll ger your radio ROM back, not sure.. Just try and post the results..
thank you for your post
yes indeed i will,
but then i will get WM5 back again, right?
what i really wanted was WM6 with WM5's radio.
i upgraded to the new WM6 with radio 1.45.00.10 so far so good, i will have to wait before getting any conclusions
well i think that both radio versions are almost the same, so i am asking again if it is possible to change only the radio version or to combine an old radio version with WM6 before flashing the whole rom,
thanks for your reply

I have only seen the 1.47.51 radio posted seperately. It seems to work pretty well for me.
Later...................
P.S. It does require a hard reset to install it tho.........Later
When I upgraded to WM6 the radio wasn't working any more: I was unable to receive incoming calls, the device switch directly to messaging, and the radio was rebooting after each call.
For me, in France, if the ROM radio of the Athena is higher than 1.38 the phone app is turning mad... So I had to go back to WM5 WWE then, flashing to the WM6 rom posted on the forum.
I've tried few days ago with the new rom from DOPOD, everything is working quite well, exept... the phone app which do no whant to receive calls any more.
I've a german AMEO with the HARD SPL but it does the same thing with a "french" HTC X7500.
Is it a provider incompatibility?
That's why i'm intersted of someone has the 1.38 radio ONLY
thanks!
Well me too.
Does somene have the original radio version 1.38.00 for posting?
thanks
Radio rom 1.38
@Olipro
Could you make an rom image with only radiorom 1.38 I have found that in the Netherlands radio 1.38 has a far better UMTS reception and it also has a far better GPS reception. This radio has no flaws and was developed for europe. I think 1.47 was optimized for the states and should be used over there. 1.45 was made for asia. So please make a 1.38 radiorom only.

Greetings,
Yesterday i upgraded my Hermes to WM6 from HTC website, everything went fine, but since i cannot recieve any calls but can call and everything else is fine, i'm new in this but here are more details:
Rom version : 3.54.256.2
Rom date : 07/06/07
Radio version : 1.47.00.10
Protocole version : 32.80.7020.20H
Ext. rom version : 3.54.256.103
I live in France and using Bouygues Telecom, i read on a french forum that the problem might be this radio version with Bouygues Telecom.
Are there any from France that have resolved this problem? is it easy to change the rom? and is there any guide on this great forum to learn how to do that?
thank you for your help!
Curious Jack
You can change just the Radio ROM part. What was your old radio version?
Here is the Radio Upgrade Only Wiki:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms
Unfortunally i did not check it out before upgrading to WM6, and i just installed version 1.50.00.00 and nothing has changed, i can call but when i'm called or it rings busy or its straight to answering box.
thanks!

Hi,
if like me you are in France with Bouygues Telecom, here are the original versions (as I was looking for switching to WM6 and now I'm asking myself some questions...)
ROM : 1.18.256.2
Radio : 1.03.03.10
Protocol : 32.34.7010.01H
I hope it will help you get back to a working phone...
Regards
Try installing radio version 1.40.30.00.
I have a similar problem on the network I am currently on with radio 1.41.00.10 and any version higher so far.
I can summarize the problem I faced as follows - if there is a data connection active, then the phone will not be able to receive an incoming voice call, unless the caller keeps trying maybe like 5 to 10 times.
The network I am on now is DTAC in Thailand, using EDGE for data.
Once I downgraded to 1.40.30.00, even with an active data connection, the incoming voice call still came through.

And MERCI for the original versions!

I had a same problem after uprgaded my Vario II to WM06 HTC ROM. I could send/receive msg and call out, but not received any call
I tried these combination:
- Upgraded to WM06 HTC ROM and keep the original radio version (1.48): wouldn't work
- Upgraded radio version to 1.50: wouldn't work
Solution:
- Downgraded radio version to 1.41. My device fine now
My network:
- Vodafone New Zealand
Hope it help
Thanks for sharing ...
I solved my problem by downgrading one by one the first one that worked is the 1.41.00.10 so i will try it and see ...
What a relief ....
thanks again
CJ
thanks xupcua and glad to read that it works for you Curious Jack.
I think I'll wait this weekend before upgrading, I need my phone for work
Thanks to all for their help. Great job !
update done and all working good (at least for now...)
I've tried all radio versions from 1.51. The only one which works is 1.41. With others, no incoming calls.
Well, it definitely seems to be a Bouygues issue, as I am in the same situation.
Back with 1.41, I can call and receive calls, but no internet access ! Are you in the same case ?
Olpetit
Internet access through GPRS is working good.
Can't try Wifi as my Linksys wifi router just died 2 weeks ago and I'm back with a wired only Netgear router.
I will go and get a new Wifi router on saturday. I'll post my results then.

Hi guys,
I have installed radio rom 1.40 : the gsm works fine, Edge gprs too, but now i have wifi connection problem, its impossible to get connected ... i discovered that if i put the gsm off the wifi is connecting, but not with the gsm on
I dont know if its a radio rom problem or something else ...
CJ
hum if that's true I think I'll go back to radio 1.03 which was the radio I had when I bought my TyTn... and with which Wifi was working pretty good
Edit : I succeeded in connecting me to a neighbor wifi router (with his agreement). I was able to download GoogleMaps for mobile, load a few bitmaps, check my mail. All this with GSM on.
It may not be a radio relative problem. It needs more testing but my neighbor's wife said it was too late to continue
Hey Guys,
I am relatively new to this forum and I need some help. I have a Softbank X01HT... running WM6 3.54.262.2 in Spanish. The problem is that I cannot upgrade the radio, even when flashing orginally shipped ROM's with newer versions. (Apparently the ROM I flashed came with radio version 1.47.00.10 but my phone still has 1.46.00.10)
Does anybody know how to solve this? The problem is that my Hermes response to incoming phone calls is a bit slow and it starts ringing after two or three rings of the person who is calling.
Thanks in advance.

Hi there,
I recently purchased an HTC HD2 phone (new) from one of the stores in India. After using it for a period of 4-6months, the phone is giving me the following problems:
- Network signals tend to go off suddenly(though the sim card works perfect on other low end phones!)
- Sometimes I am unable to make outgoing calls and outgoing sms's though I am able to receive calls and sms's.
I contacted the phone service provider in India (where I am based at) and they said the problem is with the phone. I then contacted HTC India through their site and they wrote back since the S/N code provided of the phone is of UK, I need to write to them for a solution. So am pretty much going around in circles and yet to receive some response. A friend recommended this site and here I am seeking for HELP from all the experts.
I am unable to upgrade the software/rom for the phone and may be all the problems are to do with the softwares not being upgraded (not sure though). Below are the details:
Model : HTC HD2 T8585
s/n : HT03XNW03568
OS : 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila version : 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version : 1.66.405.2 (76641) WWE
ROM DATE : 01/11/10
RADIO VERSION : 2.06.51.07
PROTOCOL VERSION 15.30.50.07U
I am really tired of going from pillar to post to sort this out. How do I upgrade the ROM and the other software as when I insert the S/N number while downloading I get a message saying the upgrade is not possible for this S/N!
The battery life is horrible too and just drains off within 8-10hrs in spite of making just 1-2calls and 2-4sms and no surfing in that 10hr period.
Please help
Best regards from India
