Some questions

Hi!
After installing the HTC Toupad on my Kaiser, I have experienced big problems. Letters on the Keyboard (QWASYX) didn't work and even the onscreen keyboard didn't recognized these letters. So I decided to uninstall the application. But now I have other problems with my Kaiser and so I decided to Hardreset my device. But before I do this, I want to upgrade my Kaiser to WM6.1 and update it to the newest ROM/Radio.
Now I have some questions relating to that.
As a result that I am a Super Moderator in another forum I know that it is bugging if people don't read the Wiki/FAQs. I have read them, but I don't understand many things :-|
I have handled it to unlock my device, but when I was reading about updating to WM6.1, I saw only things like: "... works only with 6.1", update this, update that, and I don't know in which order.
First of all: Could anyone explain me how to update my Kaiser to WM6.1 and the newest Radio?
Secondly: What is this Duty FW? Is it a modified Rom with added apps?
Finally: I have a normal Kaiser. Not a Vario III, AT&T or something like that. Just the austrian version of the Kaiser with no brandings and so it would be good to have a Firmware without any brandings.
Thx in advance.
BTW:
ROM version: 1.56.405.5
Radio version: 1.27.12.11
Oh, I have forgotten one thing: Is it possible to change the LED blinking in the Phone Mode? To change it from green to blue?

The letter problem you were having was a simple fix with a cab that can be found all across this forum. All the ROM's can be found in the ROM Development forum and as far as what has been changed, modified, added, programs list, can all be found in the FIRST or SECOND post of each of the ROM's. So you will just have to read through them and find one that suits you best as they all have something different. Most of the radio's that can only be used on 6.1 ROM's will say "Will only work on 6.1 ROM's". And I would like to add even though you don't have at&t DON'T FLASH THE 1.65.17.10 RADIO.

You need to make sure before you flash a rom on to your kaiser that you flash hardspl - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679, and than after successfully installing that you can flash the rom of your choice. Please read the first sticky thread under the kiaser rom development form - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282; it has all the info you need pretaining to everything involved when it comes to flashing your kaiser. I strongly recommend you go through it and read the posts it points to that are relevant to flashing.
Once you have done that it is pretty simple process; just do yourself the huge favor and don't flash until you have flashed hardspl or you will brick your phone.

If its still a mystery I would start here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
No pun intended.

@thesire
I have already installed HardSPL. Otherwise I couldn't have unlocked my device with this method: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
I have used just the Sim Unlocker Method. Not the Kaiser SIM/CID Unlocker & Changer
That's the reason, why my mobile phone is now with an english language
Just one important question: Do I have to change my current radio for the new Duty Release?
@KDKobes
Why shouldn't I flash THE 1.65.17.10 RADIO?

Some ROM's come with radio's some don't. Most of Dutty's ROM's come with radio's, but if you want to keep your radio then I would suggest finding a ROM without a radio in it or making sure yours is compatible with the WM 6.1 and reflash it back. The 1.65.17.10 radio will lock your phone to that radio only and you will not be able to change it until somebody can fix it. Alot of people are stuck with that radio now and can't change.

Blackberry Connect - bbconnect - on Touch Diamond

Hi All.
So here we go again - trying to get Blackberry Connect to work on a new device..... so we've succeeded on the Kaiser and Touch Dual with both original and cooked rom's but I can't get any version to work on the new Diamond - received mine yesterday after frying the mini usb port on my Touch Dual and its one of the 1st things I installed? I've tried all the current fixes (I think) most of them summarized here in Elec.Two's post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371652
I'm hoping there will be a few others out there working on the same problem - I've just changed my aku back to .1.1.4 - I can get the device to sync when connected using activesync as a pass-through connection but get the "old" data tunnel available message and then it flips to "not connected" .....
I'll keep trying and keep this thread updated but could really use some help!

Hi, Im trying to change the name of this. I would like to change it to HTC-Herm200 or someting else. But I dont know what the build number have to be there. Anyone know ?

this has NOTHING to do with rom development... use some sense people! moving thread!

ROM Development????
Not sure what usap 's post is all about but my question is very much about ROM development? I'm looking for a registry change that will fix the problem that the CURRENT STOCK ROM has that means that bbconnect will not work?
I currently have WWE_1.34.831.1_52.24.25.08_0.93.25 loaded and have tried the standard "Tweaks" from past "ROM Development" but none have worked so far? I'm on constant watch for another ROM release (Cooked or Stock) or a Registry fix to help solve the problem?
ShogunMark - do you really think the thread was in the wrong place???? If its not ROM development then I'm in need of some guidance?

Im tying to change in HEX Editor the Signatures. For example there are DIAM100 (or DIAM10000) and build 19588. I changed it to HERM200 and 19588->17745. I can change it without changing the size of .nbh. But thre are "Diamont" Signatures too and by changing Diamong->Hermes wir have one less character (7->6). It changed the size of the .nbh.
So im trying to flash it to the Diamond nad about 96% OK, but then ROM flash error.
A meaning of it all is that it have to work, because RIM asks the Number and NAME and then when its in the list->OK, NO->pending.
I need some tools like SSPL 1.34 and ROMUpdate Utility that dont asks of CRC or something else.
Please Help

I've seen a few members reporting that they have a later ROM version > 1.35.707.3 - See thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394985&page=12 I have not been able to find this as an officially released ROM and I'm not aware that its been dumped as yet? This slightly newer ROM may help solve the problems and may help usap with his question on the version number?
If there's anyone out there who know's the AKU and the version number for ROM 1.35.707.3 can you let us know???
Thanks

he moved the thread as it WAS in the wrong place, blackberry connect isnt related to Diamond ROM Development.
Yes you have to Hex edit the ROM to get it to work, but it doesnt belong in that forum, and to your other question the newer build of ROM is not a newer AKU or build.

I disagree - for most every other device - getting bbconnect to work has been the result of ROM Development - if your familiar with the other device forums - you'll see that Blackberry discussion is often linked with and found in the ROM development forum?
HOWEVER - I dont really care which thread it sits in as long as "we" can work on a solution if there is one available?
FINALLY - Thank you for the information on the Malaysian ROM

yes the ROM needs to be HEX edited but it has nothing really to do with the "development" of a ROM .
so when we get HardSPL ready and installed i will show everyone how to hex edit the ROM NBH files and then reflash it so bb connect can be used.

I'm hoping for a tweak to the stock ROM (or even a "fixed" stock ROM to be released as I've heard that a next build Rom is due soon - and this has neen the main reason behind the delay in the UK and EU formal release??? Apparently - despite the popularity of "our" site less than 5% of device owners actually change anything on their phone never mind update firmware - official or otherwise? HTC are trying to minimise "support" issues by ironing out as many bugs before the next release - I know for a FACT that they use this site as a major test ground for any new device - so maybe the expansys release was intended after all???)
Thanks again.....

Yep, all of the evidence suggests that that's the reason behind the delayed release in Europe. New ROM. Hopefully with none of the bugs we've found so far (but I doubt it).
And that's a really interesting fact. It would be both nice and worrying to know that we influence them. (Nice when good devices like the Touch Diamond are announced, but worrying when there are major problems, such as that big driver problem).

Offtop (maybe)
I was playing yesterday with another phone and became the ROM extracted. So Registry and some of the files have the name of it in it. And I changed it to another name (Herm200 and HTC-HERMES) so that after the recreating and flashing the ROM it was everywhere Hermes. But PHONE ROM was dead (No signal, no phone). There were some imei*.pfg and some *.rgu and *.dsm where I changed all to HTC-HERMES and HERM200. So I had to flashing it to normal ROM.
And by the Diamond i worked with not extracted ROM. So i think there are 2 roads to change it: in extracted and not extracted ROM.
What do you think about it?

UPDATE on 1.34.831.1 and bbconnect?
Have just tried all the usual routes with the new EU Rom (details below) having used OliNex's SPL to Flash:
ROM: 1.34.831.1 WWE
Date: 5/25/08
WM6.1 CE OS 5.2.19588 (Build 19588.1.1.4)
Radio: 0.93.25.NS16
Protocol version: 52.24.25.08H
Still no success..... I've seen that there are other Roms also out there such as 1.35.871.5 but not yet available?
I was hoping that the Stock EU Rom would be OK as in the past the Stock "Official" Roms have run bbconnect with no changes and no problems???
If anyone has any other suggestions then your help would be greatly appreciated?

UPDATE ON Elite 1.0 and bbconnect....
Still nothings working - Sigh.....
I've got a specific request in the main Elite 1.0 Rom thread for walshieau to add bbconnect support now that HSPL is released - so hoping it wont be too long now!

walshieau said:

walshieau - any news on working on a solution now that we have HSPL out???? Can you add bbconnect compatability to the next Elite release????

UPDATE on 1.37.405 and bbconnect
Just added a comment on the main thread for this, the latest WWE EU Rom Release...... still not playing....
USAP - Any more thoughts??
walshieau - come on - you promised to help with a solution.....??? Help me out here????

Refresh......
Just refreshing as I'm getting desperate for a solution as I use the blackberry function for work and really don't want to switch back to my touch dual - has ANYONE had any success on the diamond with bbconnect?

Another "post" refresh.....
I'm still struggling to find a solution for this....???? In fact, I'm starting to wonder if there is a solution at all? Has anyone had any success at all with installing blackberry connect on any of the diamond Roms?

me waiting for a solution also. from what i notice, we just need 1 carrier to support bb on the diamond n we r all set. currently this is what i hav experience with the touch n touch dual which i have been able to connect despite local carrier not supporting it.
give a shout out if u do come across a solution though.

Got a New Diamond. Where to start ?

So I just got my new Diamond (Hong Kong traditional chinese version), version below:
ROM: 1.37.832.4 CHT
Date: 06/23/08
Radio: 1.00.25.03
Protocol: 52.26a.25.09H
I wanted to get the most out of the little phone. What tweaks and fixes I need to do to get to everyone elses "standard" ? Such as updating, changing the language to english, some kind of ways to backup my old ROM, speed fix on the menus and navigation, tweaks on longer battery life Also tell me if there is more needed.
Can anyone tell me where to get those stuff (Or if those things exists) ? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you very much !

update to WWE rom and flash the radio, use the roll up stickies as tutorials at the top of the pages, read, search and you will find.
no one here will want to find it for you. open your eyes and take a look around. its all here.

Hey, I am new to this and I don't have the slight understanding of how these things work. That is why I'm asking for help. I wouldn't want to install the wrong things and kill my diamond (It happened before with my PSP =/).
But thank you for answering. Is updating the rom and radio all I need ?

Ouch, harssshhh.
To the original postah... Search for "Diamond Tweaks", should be a sticky in this forum. Those should help a lot for the performance of your Diamond. You CAN flash a new ROM and radio (make sure to Hard SPL first, search on how to do that!) but it's not necessary and taking a risk... Not a very big one, but devices have been turned to paperweights from flashing messups many times. To keep it basic use those Diamond Tweaks, start your device off right with Schaps Advanced Configuration tool (www.touchxperience.com) and TF3D Config, maybe Diamond Tweak (a program called that, searchsearchsearch) as well. To get a registry editor you can also go to touchxperience.com, you'll need that for most of the tweaks. Now go, go, go!

Thanks for the answers.
I have decided to flash the Rom cause I wanted to get the best out of the phone.
I come across this guide on flashing: http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26
And this for list of Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413910
The problem I have now is that I don't know which Rom is the best to flash into. And whats the difference between Offical and Cooker rom (Which is better)?
Again, thanks for answering. I appreciate it.

each person have different prefrenses and use their pda's for different things
which is why there are more then one rom called superrom which everybody use
so it is kinda hard to answer the question which one is best for you
trying various is most likely the best path

Yeah there is alot of them. =/

But can you tell me if the cooker ones are better than the offical ones ?
And is this the official English Rom: RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2 ?

...better? They are newer; look: Just like in Windows XP Microsoft also generates new builds of windows mobile. Also HTC does this with his own applications. The cookers always takes the newest builtds and gave us the great roms!
ok?

Just look at it like this, cooked roms are customized by people on here that want better performance, the official roms are what HTC puts out to try and make it work for everyone. If you find a cooked rom that works for your needs, it's likely to be better because it doesn't include all of the stuff that doesn't interest you. Better yet, you could cook your own rom if you really want to, look for a tutorial on it. Not incredibly difficult, just takes some time to learn. (This is my perception of it, I've never cooked a rom myself but it doesn't seem so impossible)

Thank you guys, I chose the SwiftBL for the Rom since it have just what I need and much more.
But I have another question about the Radio Rom. I have the Radio version 1.00.25.03 and I wanted to ask do I need to update/change it ? If it's not necessary, can I skip this step and just update my Rom and not the Radio ?
Thx !

yeah, just look around at the different tutorial on here, and it should help you to better understand it. I just got my diamond last week, and i can't believe how much i can change on this phone compared to my old S60 v3 phone...

I wouldn't change the radio unless you have issues with reception... But that's me, I'm very conservative compared to most on here when it comes to flashing/changing major aspects of the phone.

I have completed the flashing the Rom and Radio on my Diamond and thank god it didn't brick.
Everything is done now so thank you guys very much for everything.

Need help finding out whats been done to my Tilt.

Hi!
This week I bought a Tilt secondhand. I'm sure that some work has been done to it. First I noticed that the previous owner has using a non AT&T SIM, I'm an AT&T subscriber, so at least it's sim unlocked. Then I noticed that when I turn it on there's no AT&T animation, there's a HTC animation. I also noticed that when I turn it on or soft reset it, after the "Smart Computing" comes up, there're some numbers in the lower right corner.
R: 1.65.17.56
G: 25.83.40.02H
D: 3.28.00.00
I registered here before I decided to buy the Tilt and I read many of the treads, so I know that many kinds of ROMs and programming exists for this device. So, what I want to know is how do I know what was done, installed, changed to this Tilt?
Thanks

Maybe I'm wrong, but it sounds like whoever last owned the device flashed an HTC ROM onto it.
Dave

Easy. Go to Start>Settings>System>Device Information You should be able to read the ROM version installed.

Yeah I guessed they changed the original rom, the rom installed is 3.28.405.0 WWE, DATE 05/02/08, radio 1.65.17.56 & protocol 25.83.40.02H. Still that doesn't tell me much.

I need to know which of all the ROM I read mentioned on the forums is the one installed, I need to know if there's a better alternative & I need to read a whole lot more to understand all my options here.

you just need to flash and find out for yourself don't ask "what is the best rom" its a matter of opinion and you can get banned for asking that.

Simply compare it with the SHIPPED ROM List in the WIKI! I am sure they flashed the ORIGINAL SHIPPED HTC Rom ... ! BTW: If it is the original AT&T Tilt, then they have (for sure) performed a SIM UNLOCK and in addition a CID UNLOCK. From my point of view, I do not concider an item as NEW if someone did this to a device!

Thanks Junner2003!!
This is the kind of information I was looking for. I suppose that the higher the rom number, the more updated the rom is?

In general: it is a newer ROM if the number is higher. However, that does not necessary mean that the ROM is better. Newer ROMs contain for sure BUG FIXES for older ROMs but mostly contain a whole bunch of new bugs as well.
If you stick with an older ROM, it has the advantage that often users came up with a BUG FIX for well known issues or at least they can provide some kind of workaround.

OK so I checked the ROM Wiki and found my rom number (3.28.405.0 WWE). Would it be correct to say that the upgrade would be 3.34.721.2 WWE? Is the country code what defines what I can use?
PS:
I must be real slow because I get timeout & have to relogin before I can finish an answer to any post.

WWE is World Wide English so if you speak English it would probably not be a good idea to flash a rom in a foreign language like Australian or something.
Yes it is the newest rom , released in Oct

Rom Updates / Customs roms (from a newbie)

Hi All,
I've just got my new Touch HD but have never entered the world of custom roms before.
My current ROM is 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE dated 10/24/08. I've just updated the radio version to 1.10.25.25. My HD seems quite slow and generally I'm quite disappointed with it. That said I was quite disappointed with my HTC Tytn until HTC released a new rom.
From reading this forum there seem to be many happy people so I suspect that the software in my phone is more at fault. I've seen the new Arabian rom that has been posted. It obviously won't install on my UK model (I'm not tied to a mobile carrier) without me tinkering, but I wondered if there would be any benefit in me uploading it. Does it invalidate my warranty or can I reset the original rom should I need it repaired?
As a rule do custom rom makers use the latest offical release and then tweak them? What are the benefits?
I'm sorry for so many newbie questions. If anyone can help or point me in the right direction of some great "simple" instructions I would be grateful.
Regards
Jonathan

hi bro welcome to XDA.
Everything regarding flashing, upgrading and choosing from cookded roms , official roms and valuable information can be found here for Touch HD thank to HDUSER for updating here:

good luck

The first couple of pages in the wiki are a bit complex if you're new to all this and have never customised your phone. Loads of unneccessary info (which is nice to know, but not always important). The easiest way by far to flash your ROM would be using SPL and flashing from your SDcard. Search the forum, as there one or two threads specifically abpout flashing for n00bs.
There's one specifically I'm thinking about which really helped me out, but I have no idea anymore which one it is and I can't be arsed to search for it for you Search is your friend (search for: flashing ROM n00b newbie).
