Rom versions have these format

x.xx.xxx.xx

where x is a digit. If the first "x" is bigger, does it mean it its a newer (more updated version)

Cuz my device is currently

ROM version: 3.00.707.17
Rome Date: 06/29/07
Radio Version: 1.46.00.11
Protocol Version 32.79.7020.19H


and on HTC's site i see this

Dopod D810 Rom Code Update (1.17.707.3)

the code seems to be smaller digits than mine, which i would presume it means its an older version.

But then the date of the post is 9/12/2007 which is later than my June rom.

So, shud i update?

Also, its a d810 rom, anyone can confirm it works just fine with p3600i?

Whats the update or changes if the rom stated there on HTC site is newer? i cant seem to find it on their site, cuz i'm only most concerned about the A2DP ms stack probs

Offical: major release.minor release.patch level-build number

1.17.707.3

The last number is not the build ! in this case i dont know what the last number stands for


major release = complete code rewrite
minor release = new functions
patch level = bugfixes

other manufacturer other names.

Maybe
WM2003 = 1
WM5 = 2
WM6 = 3?

I dont know. The version description i posted above is the official version of name a version. So dpod maybe have their own.

What ive posted should only be a clue

I'm not convinced the "patch level" is purely that. Maybe for the first digit, but I'm sure it also identifies which network/region the code was built for. So a higher number isn't necessarily newer or better, it could be just for a different region.
