Does anyone have any reliable knowledge on when the UK upgrade to WM6 will be available?

QUOTE(gavinfabl @ Aug 8 2007, 08:14)  Does anyone have any reliable knowledge on when the UK upgrade to WM6 will be available? Why don't you just flash your phone to WM5 (i600XXGD1 ) rom first and then to WM6 as described in early posts. It works perfectly. You do not need to wait for your country's or continent's specific WM6 rom updates. It is ready and here already. This post has been edited by kuvulmaz: Aug 8 2007, 08:32 |

Because if the UK one is close to being available I would prefer to wait for the correct one to come out. Using a different countries ROM is something I'd only consider if there was _never_ going to be a UK one... -------------------- - spacerace -

QUOTE(CyberEric @ Aug 8 2007, 17:02) Anyone has the update regarding the WM6 firmware on Asian carriers? Is it compatible? Thanks! I already updated mine from Asian(Singapore) to European version with new WM6 version(with Sweden ROM). And, I set it to UK & BT carrier to use SK Telecom WCDMA network. No problem. |

There is only one WM6 rom update file and fits all countries I guess. When you see the British flag on the update site I do not think that will point to another WM6 rom file designed only for UK, it will be the same file. But if you willing to wait then it is ok. |

kuvulmaz have got the right. There is only one file with update and all countries are connected with them. I think that they only create the instruction for the other countries and then give the access to that one file with upgrade.

I need help, i have downloaded all the files necessary to flash with the latest firmware before upgrading to wm6. I installed the modem drivers and activesync 4.5, i created the partnership and activesync connects no problem. I kill activesync and put the phone into bootloader mode then windows says unrecognised usb device and i cant flash, i have tried everything but i cant get it to connect to flash the firmware.
My current firmware is i600xxGC6 Anyone any ideas, i am using xp home service pack 2 Chris -------------------- |

My current firmware is i600xxGC6 Chris You need to have ActiveSync RUNNING for the WM6 flash. (You need to have ActiveSync DISABLED only for older XXGD1 flash.) If you already have XXGC6, which is a generic version, as is XXGD1, I think you can just go ahead and try to upgrade to WM6 directly, skipping XXGD1. D. |

I have i600XXGC4, SO your answer to this is that I do not need to upgrade it to i600XXGD1 inorder to upgrade to WM6. CAn multiple people confirm this please.
Either way what will be the final firmware version after upgrading to WM6, ie; what is final firmware version if I do i600XXGC4 --> i600XXGD1 --> WM6 & i600CCGC4 --> WM6 Thanks a lot for your help. |

As i had an upto date firmware all i had to do to install wm6 was download the netherland rom, change my phone language to netherlands and flash, once it flashed i changed it back to UK English and all is perfect. One thing i have noticed is the signal strength seems to be alot weaker now, anyone else seeing this
Cheers Chris -------------------- |

QUOTE(loki_f @ Aug 8 2007, 23:37) Mine has been going for 20 minutes... what do I do now???? Turns out the instructions are wrong - I bit the bullet eventually and decided to unplug the USB which didn't have any effect, in fact nothing did until I pulled out the battery. I restarted my phone to find out that the 'phone' section of the update was still showing the previous version number. You must install the modem driver in the GD1 package before you try to update - I think the instructions need to be updated accordingly. Nevertheless I am now running WM6 - and so far it's pretty cool, although a couple of interesting things have come up which I will post about later. -------------------- Smartphone History

Just upgraded my African i600 to WM6 via European firmware. Still cannot see my stereo iPhono bluetooth headset (just shows headset and not stereo) but the bluetooth support for my Siemens HKW-600 carkit is great, it now shows network and battery level, call history and voice assist works! I can't see Java support, how do I set this up?

Actually I do not think that you need other people's confirmation for this before you try. If you can set up Netherlands as the country in the system menu of your i600, and if the WM6 updater recognises your XXGC4 as a valid candidate for upgrade afterwards, it will let you do so. Otherwise, it won't. So you could just go ahead and give it a go. QUOTE Either way what will be the final firmware version after upgrading to WM6, ie; what is final firmware version if I do i600XXGC4 --> i600XXGD1 --> WM6 & i600CCGC4 --> WM6 Of course the final version will always be the same. You will end up having WM6, with the firmware version UXXGG2, regardless of what you had before. D. This post has been edited by dario_s: Aug 9 2007, 11:31 |
