New TyTN 1.18.416.1 WWE ROM (2006-11-14)

[basilrsa]

HTC is new in South Africa and have also just posted a new Rom for the TyTN. The details are as follows:

Rom Version: 1.18.416.1
Rom Date: 07/22/06
Radio Version: 1.14.00.10
Protocol Version: 32.50.7018.00H
ExtRom Version: 1.18.416.101

I downloaded last night and set it up today.
The issue I had with my Storage card dissapearing in the Media Player is now resolved. (posted on the Forum and received a temp. fix) I notice the MP is now version 10.2 and the MSSDATA ? file is gone for good.
So far I can't find any issues!
This is an English version
Help I don't know how to load the file onto the Forum. The file is about 47mb large. Pse tell me how and where in laymans terms.

MODERATOR EDIT: Uploaded to XDA-Developers ftp, and posted into wiki, download here: Hermes shipped complete updates (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades)
Be careful, this rom has bootloader 1.06!

Help I don't know how to load the file onto the Forum. The file is about 47mb large. Pse tell me how and where in laymans terms.

You have to upload the file here:
ftp://xdaupload:xda@ftp.xda-developers.com/Hermes/Shipped_Complete_Updates/

You can use any ftp program for example filezilla (http://filezilla.sourceforge.net/), with this info:

SERVER: ftp.xda-developers.com
USERNAME: xdaupload
PASSWORD: xda
FOLDER: /Hermes/Shipped_Complete_Updates/

[pof]

Anyone with a south african phone number can register here (http://www.leafwireless.com/Members/Member%20Services/Downloads) and post the rom on xda-dev ftp?

Cingular 1.31 has WM 10.3

[pof]

Cingular 1.31 is AKU 2.6, so this confirms the HTC 1.18.416.1 rom will still be an AKU 2.3.

[basilrsa]

Pof thanks for the informatiom on the ftp site.
I downloaded filezilla and posted the file on the xda ftp site today.
Unfortunately I don't know if I posted to the right Hermes folder. If not please fix for me.
Sorry about the delay but I use a cellular connection and our tower lost it's 3G/HSPDA capability. This is being sent from our holiday home in Ballito, RSA.
Let me know what u think of the upgrade.
It has fixed my MP3 problem and I have no further issues with my phone.

Hey basilrsa :D
I don't seem to find the file on the upload folder... i've checked some subfolders and can't find it... do you know where you put it?

Thanks :)

[basilrsa]

Sh.t Iam not sure as I am new to this. Try the Tools folder of the Hermes section,

[pof]

Sh.t Iam not sure as I am new to this. Try the Tools folder of the Hermes section,

it's empty :(

I've been checking all folders and subfolders under /Upload, can't find it...

which was the file name ??

OK, found it: TyTN ROM 0611.EXE

[basilrsa]

Hello Pof,
Please give me a step by step approach to using filezilla - I think I messed up although I got a completed message at the end.
Thanks

[basilrsa]

As a point of interest, where did u find it?
Want to learn, and not by too many mistakes.
Thanks

[pof]

No problem basilrsa, you did it right!! I was so dumb that checked all subfolders but not the root folder, and it was there, i'm downloading right now, will post on the wiki soon.

EDIT: Posted on the wiki! Thanks basilrsa :)

Are there any special considerations when upgrading to this (apart form following the FAQs generally)?

Also, does it address the BT issues? Any general advice/feedback appreciated.

It has bootloader 1.06 which does check the CID when you flash a ROM, if you plan to flash other ROMs not matching your CID in the future you should CID-unlock (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=282073) your device before flashing a ROM with bootloader 1.06.

[Buch070]

I installed this ROM on my HTC TyTN, which I bought end of July, i.e. one of the first available devices. It works OK, no problems with installation, everything is done automaticly after starting the *.exe file on PC with explanation step-by-step what to do.

I have an unlocked, unbranded HTC, can I use this rom? How do I check
which bootloader I have ?

If your bootloader version is 1.04 you should better CID-unlock it first, after CID-unlocking you can flash it safely.

How do I check which bootloader I have?

Enter bootloader mode on your Phone. To do this, simultaneously hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus.
When you are on the tri-color screen check the number after SPL-X.XX

[drizute]

Has anyone dissected this ROM yet to see what has changed beyond the obvious ?

Sorry to ask again, but doing this bootloader mode thing WILL NOT delete any
thing that I have on the phone, right ? To exit the boot loader, just turn the
phone off ? "reset with stylus" - you stick the stylus into the small hole next to the USB socket?

Thanks again,
Ken

No, don't worry, it's safe :)

soft-reset with stylus.

The reason why I have to CID-unlock my phone first is because my bootloader
is 1.04 ? (yes I did confirm that it is 1.04).

Also, to be clear, even though my phone is NOT sim locked, I still have to
CID-unlock using the SIM & CID unlocker from this site, right ?

Thanks again.

Ken

[pof]

The reason why I have to CID-unlock my phone first is because my bootloader is 1.04 ? (yes I did confirm that it is 1.04).
The reason is because the SIM & CID-Unlocker only works with bootloader 1.04 actually, if you flash this rom you'll go to 1.06 and you will not be able to CID-Unlock.
Bootloader 1.04 doesn't enforce CID checking, and bootloader 1.06 does. This means that if the CID in your device is "T-MOB001" you will ONLY be able to flash T-Mobile english ROMs.... if the CID in your device is "VODAP304" you will only be able to flash Vodaphone Spanish ROMs... so if you want to be able to upgrade to ANY rom, you should better CID unlock your device before you have bootloader 1.06 and it is too late.

Also, to be clear, even though my phone is NOT sim locked, I still have to CID-unlock using the SIM & CID unlocker from this site, right ?
Yes.

Hi

I have a free HTC Tytn, bootloader 1.04. I bought it in the free market, this is, I did not buy it to any operator; so, my Tytn is able to use any SIM card. I already have tried several SIM cards from different operators in it and it works. So, I guess my Tytn has no SIM lock.

In this case, can I upgrade to this new release 1.18.416.1 without first use the CID unlock?
If the answer is no, I don't understand why. Please clarify.

Thanks for your answer.

Cribeiro

[pof]

In this case, can I upgrade to this new release 1.18.416.1 without first use the CID unlock?
If the answer is no, I don't understand why. Please clarify.

- The CID on your device is "QTEK_001" (if it's a HTC TyTN WWE model).
- The bootloader on your device is 1.04.

If you flash a ROM with CID "QTEK_001" you'll have no problems, this new HTC rom contains the same CID as in your device and the RUU (rom upgrade utility) will not complain about "invalid vender ID".

If you flash a ROM with a CID different than "QTEK_001" (for example dopod, imate, cingular...) the RUU will complain about "Invalid vender ID" and upgrade will not go through, but if you run the RUU again without disconnecting your device it will go on and flash your device with that rom. This is a bug in bootloader 1.04, because the second time it does not check that the CID on the device matches the CID on the ROM, and that's why people with bootloader 1.04 can flash ANY rom.

If you flash a ROM containing bootloader 1.06 on your device, the CID check bug has been corrected in this version, and since you have bootloader 1.06 the RUU will complain about "invalid vender id" everytime you try to flash a ROM that does not have the same CID you have in your device (in your case, "QTEK_001"): This means that after upgrading to bootloader 1.06 you will be only able to use HTC TyTN ROMs, but not cingular, dopod, imate, orange, etc....

If you are happy to stay forever with HTC TyTN roms, then you don't need to CID-Unlock your device. If you are not happy with this you have 2 options:

1) Run HTC Hermes SIM & CID unlocker: This will make your device SuperCID, which is a "developer" CID that allows you to flash ANY rom, you'll never see the "invalid vender id" again.

2) Do not run the CID unlocker, and if you ever want to flash any other ROM than the HTC one, then you'll need to:
a) flash the 1.18.255 rom wich matches your CID and has bootloader 1.04, this will bring the cid-check bug back again to your device
b) after that you will be able to flash the rom you like by runing the RUU twice


Hope it is clear now!

[Radek Hulán]

@pof - I admire your patience, people are asking the same question again and again, and you always explain it to them (again) :-)

[cribeiro]

Now it is completely clear.

Thanks very much for the answer.

[pof]

Radek Hulán: I try to help whenever it's possible instead of being rude and point them to the wiki, but when I don't have time I just give them the wiki link :P

[kittiyut]

I totally agree.
That last reply should clear everything up.

VERY CLEAR !
Why isn't something like this in the Wiki ?

thanks so much again.

[kittiyut]

BTW,

pof, does the paypal donation goes to you ?
I'd like to make a contribution.

kittiyut: I've a paypal donate button in the hermes unlocker (http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/) home page :)
Thanks!

[pof]

VERY CLEAR !
Why isn't something like this in the Wiki ?

Because I thought it was enough clear on the upgrading FAQs (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeFAQ), but it seems it's not... so I just added it to the Hermes Upgrades (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades) page :)

[pietrucci]

Any news on the quality of this ROM?

[SkyyBoy]

I have installed this ROM on my HTC branded TyTN. so far, I can tell no difference from the stock shipped ROM. On Cingular in the US, I still have the "roaming icon" even when on Cingular home network. They still have not added push-and-hold the Comm Manager button to switch vibrate/ring (like the Wizard had). And reception seems about the same (which is pretty good).
I would like to see a list of changes from the stock rom....

[J Cat]

I also installed this...
on my CHT9000, here in Taiwan.

Seems robust, and it works well with a CHT9000 WWE Extended ROM,
BUT I can't get GPRS (UMTS) to attempt to connect at all.
EDIT: Problem solved after I set it up MANUALLY.... Thanks, pof... you were right. This was not a radio problem.

Just the result of using a non-Asian ROM.

-J Cat

[pof]

J Cat: Configure your 3G/GPRS settings manually, this is not a radio problem.

Hi

I upgraded my Tytn from 1.18.255.3 to the new 1.18.416.1 hopping to solve some bad issues I had in the 1.18.255.3.

However it seems that this new versions does not solve any bad issues like:
-Operative system a little slow;
-Battery indication in steps of 10;
-Operator special codes calls like *555#, *111#, *#123#, etc, they do not work after you make a call. These codes calls are used e.g. to see the money it rest to call, or change some features of your operator connection. To get back those codes working again, you need (using the comm manager) to switch off the phone and next switch it on again, otherwise you get the message "failed";
-TCPMP not working properly with some flaws and it does not work properly the pause/play button command in some movies;
-tomtom 6 has some blockings; when it blocks it is necesssary to press the call end button and press the tomtom right bottom icon to get it continuing working;
-at a wi-fi Internet connection, if we try to go to the site http://www.sat.us.pn/, the Tytn try to connect the MMS connection;
-Adobe Reader 2.0 doesn't access to pdf files in third level sub directories; to access all the files, these must be in the root of storage card (first level in the directories tree) or in a sub directory next root (second tree level). If a pdf file is in a sub sub directory, Adobe Reader doesn't access to it. The same to Word or Excel softwares. These flaw does not appear in Qteq S100.

May be in the future it appears a new upgrade flawles. I hope.

Thanks

the operator codes work fine for me (in the USA on Cingular) even after a call. I also used the operator codes with DTAC during my recent visit to Thailand without problem. This worked for me on the old 1.18.255.3 ROM. Maybe the source of your problem is something different...

I think you might be laying a few too many problems at the door of HTC.



The 10% steppings on Battery use isnt exactly a fault and as some have mentioned may simply be a means to increase polling intervals / reduce power consumption.

The new rom is actually faster than the original - about 4% or 5% - not a vast amount but a respectable gain.

The TCPMP issue relates to the ATI IMAGEON drivers and is likely to be fixed in the next CorePlayer patch (TCPMPs new commercial form). Presumably (although I don't know) the Qteq S100 has a different graphics chip and hence doesn't suffer the same problems.

TomTom 6 is working well for me, occasionally it 'lags' just after launching which I think is while it is discovering the BT GPS receiver but once it catches up it works perfectly from then onwards.

I cannot comment about the other issues you mention as I have not tried / tested them.

Anyway, here are some benchmarks for those who are interested. They were NOT conducted under highly-scientific conditions but they serve as a guide so as per usual, make of them what you will!

http://www.monkey-magic-guild.com/images/custom/TyTN_benches_18_11_06.gif

The rom is neck-and-neck with the Cingular performance-wise - ahead on CPU and Graphics, slightly behind on FileSystem - but personally I prefer it as it doesn't have the PTT / Videophone issues that the Cingular does. I also didn't like the Cingular loader screen, but that's just personal taste of course.

I am running it on an original HTC TyTN unit (HT640xxx) which interestingly came with the old 1.18.255.3 07/22/06 firmware BUT with 1.06 bootloader (received as a swap out due to my old HT634xxx unit developing the screen-alignment hardware fault).

I am also running SPB PocketPlus, SPB Backup and TomTom6 which all seem to work perfectly.

Nice bit of info mate.
Will give the ROM a go.

Regards

S.K.

[silent_killa]

Update:

ROM is nice and fast, very stable. However you are stuck with the 1.14 Radio. Bootloader is 1.06 so you cannot change. I have experienced many problems with wifi on this ROM. I can connect, then disconnect but cannot reconnect unless I do a soft reset. Rather annoying!!
May not be the case for everyone but i'm gonna go back to the TyTN rom with the 1.04 bootloader and then patch the radio to 1.16.

Regards

S.K.

Hi

First I would like to thanks very much to everybody for the important information given in these posts, mainly to pof and Codeus.

I had before a Qtek S100. In this Pocket PC when there is a new SMS or reminder the notification LED 2 blink amber color.

In the Tytn this LED does not change to amber light, but at page 13 of User Manual, in the function description Nº 4, item Notification LED 2, it seems that it would do that.
Only when charging the battery or USB connected it changes for amber light.

Is someboby reporting the same issue and is there an explanation for that?

Naturally I made the configurations at Start-Settings-Personal-Sounds & Notifications-Notifications-New text message and Remindirs.

Thanks

Cribeiro

[mrvanx]

how does TCPMP perform on this ROM?? i know the accelerated ATI thing doesnt work but playback is smooth and doesnt skip at all with the imate ROM im using, even after a pause. (using rawfram buffer and direct sound)

Thanks very much for the answer. I posted in the previous page the same question, you probably didn't read it. I made all the configurations as you can read bellow. In my Tytn the LED doesn't change the color for SMS and reminders.

I would have to say this is not the best ROM so far. If it was a top notch rom then HTC would have publicly released it.

...and what should be the best one...even if I just have flashed it?

[mrvanx]

hmmm, id have to say the imate rom with the 1.04 bootloader was the best for me so far. TCPMP playback was great...ATi driver didnt work ofcourse but rawframbuffer was fine, didnt stutter at all even after a pause.

Yet to see another ROM that works as well. I have only just made my TyTN superCID though so this rom is the first ive used with bootloader 1.06

[dluzh]

I do have a weird thing going on with this ROM. The device hangs 3-4 times per day. The LED kips blinking but power button does not respond and incoming calls do not come through. Have to soft-reset it to get going. Used to have the previous version of HTC rom before and that one was working fine.

[cribeiro]

Hi

I decided to try to install the i-mate 1.20.305.3 1.04 which member mrvanx recommended in a previous post.

mrvanx is right. This version is quicker than any of HTC versions. Even the notification LED 2 which didn't change the color to amber when receiving a SMS in the HTC versions, now it's changing the color to amber.

TCPMP works better and all the others softwares work quickly; e.g. the Windows directory is quicker to open and also navigating in several menus of settings.

The only problem I had, it was that the installation of the extended rom didn't finish (suddenly it stops) and as a result the MMS settings configuration didn't appear. By recovering the data I previously made using the Spb backup, I could also recover the MMS configuration.

To install completely a Tytn is a job much time consuming; so, I got no time to try the 1.20.305.2 1.06. If somebody do that please tell us the result.

I hope this help somebody to decide which version is better.

Thanks

If the CID on your device is SuperCID or CDL__001 yes, otherwise not.

If you don't understand why, please read the wiki or previous forum posts, I explained this 100's of times.

I wanted to say 1.31.305.2 1.06 instead 1.20.305.2 1.06 if somebody has the opportunity to test. Excuse me.

Yes, I have installed the JASJAM_WWE_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship .exe and I am happy with it.

Hi

Also I had the 1.06 bootloader. But I followed the instruction number 2 of pof under repeated. Thanks very much to pof.

If you are happy to stay forever with HTC TyTN roms, then you don't need to CID-Unlock your device. If you are not happy with this you have 2 options:

1) Run HTC Hermes SIM & CID unlocker: This will make your device SuperCID, which is a "developer" CID that allows you to flash ANY rom, you'll never see the "invalid vender id" again.

2) Do not run the CID unlocker, and if you ever want to flash any other ROM than the HTC one, then you'll need to:
a) flash the 1.18.255 rom wich matches your CID and has bootloader 1.04, this will bring the cid-check bug back again to your device
b) after that you will be able to flash the rom you like by runing the RUU twice

I used HTC_Hermes_SIM_Unlock_v2a...so I have super CID...at least I think so.

sorry if I keep on asking and asking...

Hi

I decided to try to install the i-mate 1.20.305.3 1.04 which member mrvanx recommended in a previous post.

mrvanx is right. This version is quicker than any of HTC versions. Even the notification LED 2 which didn't change the color to amber when receiving a SMS in the HTC versions, now it's changing the color to amber.

TCPMP works better and all the others softwares work quickly; e.g. the Windows directory is quicker to open and also navigating in several menus of settings.

The only problem I had, it was that the installation of the extended rom didn't finish (suddenly it stops) and as a result the MMS settings configuration didn't appear. By recovering the data I previously made using the Spb backup, I could also recover the MMS configuration.

To install completely a Tytn is a job much time consuming; so, I got no time to try the 1.20.305.2 1.06. If somebody do that please tell us the result.

I hope this help somebody to decide which version is better.

Thanks

Cribeiro

did you try the iMate rom with bootloader 1.06???? hopefully its even better

I have just received and unlocked SPVM3100 with HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlock . v2a, and I came from JasJar...testing and testing AKU3.2 IVANs' ROMS...so a liitle "newby" to this front. I want to know if using HTC Hermes SIM & CID Unlock . v2a I can Upgrade it to TyTN 1.18.416.1 WWE ROM (2006-11-14)
Reload this Page Reply to New TyTN 1.18.416.1 WWE ROM (2006-11-14) without problem...CID problem I mean...
THX so much!

I did upgrade my vodafone the same way, without any problem, except that the 3G icon is now a U icon on the top bar, and UMTS now prefix the carrier network name. Is there any difference between the two settings? Or they are actually the same thing!?

I just wanted to add a little comment here that this ROM is really good and fast. However, when I was on a telephone call, the alarm happened to go off, but instead of sounding in the background like more PDAs do, it sounhded in the foreground, meaning that the sound of the alarm overshadowed the telephone conversation. Does anyone knows if there is anything that I can do to rectify this?
