TomTom 6 and WM6 Official ROM

[mdyson]

I have flashed my Orange M700 with the official ROM with no problems, most of my software is working. However TOMTOM detects a new device ID everytime I hard reset the phone.

I have spoken to TOMTOM support who have confirmed that this is an issue with WM6 and at the moment do not offer any official support. They have also stated off the record that it is likly that TomTom 7 will not be released on the WM format partually due to this issue.

Use TomTom 6.0.3 - works for me?!

Which 'official' HTC WM6 ROM are you trying? The only one currently available is the Asian ROM, developed by Dopod which is not supported in the UK; I went from Orange ROM to HTC WM5 without any problem; it was only when I flashed another WM6 ROM (based on the Dopod Beta WM6 ROM) that I had problems. TomTom agreed to give me another activation code, but in the meantime I flashed the Mun-Rus WM6 ROM, and the device code reverted to the correct one.

The ROM 'chefs' suggested there was some faulty code in some of the ROM's- it affected the Hermes as well- which changed the device code, and it looks as if that may have carried over to the release ROMs

Once you have a new activation code, you should be OK, as the devcie code should stay the same till the next ROM flash!

Nealed: The Activation code is linked to the maps, not the application, so if you have one of these suspect ROMs, it shouldn;t matter which app version you have.
