Dumping standard shipped ROM

Is there anyone who has succesfully dumped the Official Shipped ROM that comes with the European models ?
I'm sure that apart from me, there are other members who would like to revert to the offical ROM just in case something happens with the device. (need to send it back for a reparation)
I'm going to flash just right now anyway, as I'm positive that there will be someone in the future dumping the offical ROM.
\cheers, now pressing start
EDIT : After flashing I keep the high pitched noise that almost everyone is Reporting. I can't get rid of it. Be aware with this ROM,. you might get stuck with a hissing device that won't stop I'll wait for some solution and then flash again, can't use Winmo anymore

me too...please help us - i cannot use my device due to constant noising...

up0grading the EC chip drivers
I saw some remarks about the EC Chip driver update from HTC - will try that now, see if it helps anything at all.. For now, the device always hisses like a snake when Vista is active.
Without Vista active, it's mostly quiet, but gives no sound in WinMo, however, if you try to make a sound in WinMo, sometimes, after a few seconds, it will hiss and pitch for the duration of the sample played...
This is really annoying

hi,
i did a backup pof's way, so i have now part00.raw - part04.raw and SPL.nbh.
Rebuild Part02.raw and uploaded again. Working like a charm. Problem is: my original ROM is in German. anyone interested?

german but quiet is much better than english with noise.
please provide links.
Thanks

GERMAN..?
That sounds wonderful: need the the german ROM very urgent, can`t work with my beloved shifty...
Please share the ROM, thanks so much!

Me too!
I installed the GPS Bios pack - Easy BUT:
The noise only appears while staring after reinstalling the battery - just restart SnapVue after Vista is up and the noise is gone.
Also gone is the German keyboard under SnapVue - Regional settings don't change that!
GPS work in SnapVue and Vista (using ActiveSync & GPSgate - after test period ~30€).
Overnight SnapVue need app. double the energy than before!!!
Using GPS in Vista means NO internet/mail!
Wrong keyboard layout and battery drain tempt me to reinstall an original German ROM and to continue using my dear old eTrex with USB together with my Vista progs.
So, how and where2 can I find the German ROM?
Thanks,
Axel

Send the Rom-Link to a victim already. Waiting for an OK before i publish.

Victim report Nr. 1:
@tece: Thanks a lot, man, good job, it works fine..!
Regards and thanks a lot.
Alex

great!!
i noticed that pocketie is already installed and that \Windows\StartUp\PKG.exe and BlockTitleBar.exe are already removed.(like i did as described in this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377441 thread before backing up the original ROM). Now I'm looking to get the registry preconfigured to not start Snapvue. Liberated German ROM will get released this weekend. If you can't stand waiting for that ROM send me or traumrakel a PM for the rapidshare link.

If you could include the liberation into the new ROM I would prise your name... ;-)

Do you have the reconstructed ROM of version (original UK Shift): 1.30.405.0 WWE ? Can u post it/send it? Then I don't have to rebuild it myself, because I'm not that experienced it rebuilding myself. Also in case my rebuilded rom fails to work.
Many thanks!

cmonex
Could you please share the 1.30WWE
Thanks
Ram

You have it, it's the one having gps and sound bugs with european radios.
I'm using 1.22 because it's a stable base. Later version doesn't give you much, as graphic drivers are disabled anyway.

Cool. I followed pof's suggested way of dumping the original rom. Now I got all the raw files with correct start addresses. I am wondering whether I did correctly or not for SPL.NB. because the file size is 256 KB since I passed the same length 262114 as read in pof's post. When I used KaiserKitchen to reconstruct, I don't have baseRom and if I ignore that, I am not gettting the NBF file. I want to backup my CHT ROM and install your's (1.22 with GPS and sound). Could you please shed some light?
Thanks
Ram

Hi Cmonex ;
I need the non-touched 1.30 WWE rom for shift ; can you share please ?
Safak

Thaihugo , Saiweb
Do you have 130 WWE non-touched original rom ? I ve downloaded one from the forum but it is the "telenav"ed orig one , which i can not use at all...
Can you share if you have ?

How do i get gps working

Just wondering how i enable gps on a newley liberated rom - w/o installing a one of the custom roms with it embeded?
Thanks in adv
Kris

Please,
extract the GPS enabled ROM then copy the needed DLL's extract your rom put HTCGPS tool on it and recook your rom and flash it, i would expect there is no cab done with a one click install for liberated shift, also it would be ver less space to add iGO or such to the shift in a liberated rom.
cmonex did this stuff for the GPS enabld rom, if you have further questions try to ask her and PLEASE read & search the forum FIRST before you write noob questions to her.
Greets

how can i do this - i have extracted the rom but dont know what dlls to replace etc
thanks kris

Very interesting topic, but some inacurate in its name...
Neutron83, I do not undestand this steps too - very dreary, some cookings... Intricately!
I want to enable GPS on native liberated ROM - without reflashing it. Is it possible?
And what is the way to invite attantion ofcmonex to this topic?

cmonex did not provide gps to shift, I did.
I provided a cab for that. Only problem with the cab method is that you lose sound and you must run drivers manually after soft rest.
You cannot have gps and sound with this method, as an important file needs to be replaced for that, and only rom flashing can do this. Uninstalling the cab and soft reseting solves that.
BTW, flashing my rom is the same than liberating the snapvue, and adding gps drivers. Nothing is added or deleted (mostly)

Thanks. Navigation without sound is nonsense.

Where is this ROM? Is it English only?

english and french. Please do a search in this subforum for posts started by me.

You wrote (about NewYear) about LITE-rom, but I find French only. Is English avaiable?

Nope, but I might do one soon, when we have mic working as well as phone.

Is there a special version of the shift to use ?
Mine is french and i remember that not all shift have gps.
How can i verify my version ? and what version have gps functional ?

to verify your version, you can remove the battery and look near the sim card "clio***"
I think that all the shift are GPS'able.. but correct me if I'm wrong !

Mine is a clio110.
I will search in the forum for confirmation for the gps and post here if i find it.
Please tell me if you find before me.

That is also my understanding.
You just have to flash a rom that enables the gps receiver.

i have the same shift as yours and mine works... then yes.. you should have missed something or you don't know how to check if gps is working.
I'm using the rom of cmonex (1.29) and it's working perfect.... try to use the HTC GPS Tools to see if you get NMEA.

Rogers Name Display

After a lot of efforts by a lot of people in the Raphael, i want to send a special thanks to Captain_Throwback
I sent him the rilphone.dll used in the diamond Rogers ROM to enable Name Display on my Diamond using Dutty's ROM v.4
With his knowledge he was able to cook a cab with the proper settings to enable name display without having to cook it directly in the rom.
Thats fantastic!
Please post your experience and what ROM you used this on.

I guess I will be the first to test this on 6.5.....
UPDATE:
One word....Brilliant
Thank you so much. I had this when we were in the 1.93 ROM days but then lost compatiblity with the newer ROMS.
This Restored it back...GREAT

Thanks for sharing D0MZE and thanks to Captain_Throwback.
Do I need to be running the original Rogers 1.00.25.06 radio too? Hesitant to try...tried a couple months ago using another method...didn't work and had to hard reset...

On another "Rogers" thread, it was pointed out to me that this solution would only work if my "ROM has been patched to supported unsigned drivers", which is something I don't know.
See the thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=347882&page=33

I am actually not using the stock radio rom provided by rogers.
I updated my radio rom to 1.09.25.23
I'm not sure if Dutty in his rom has set the setting for unsigned drivers.
As far as I know, this worked, and was only on a software basis... I've been following the other thread about the raphael and it seems Captain_Throwback only did changed/added some Registry settings to make it work.
On that note, the rilphone.dll was taken out directly out of rogers original rom (the rom that came with the phone)

Does this not work with Duttys 5.2.20764.1.4.3_V4_Full_MSVC [2.03]?
I installed it and doesn't seem to do it.
Thanks

can someone getting working for D2 please

So I don't know? It should in theory work.

or you want to try something like this. You need to have data plan to make it works.

will this work on other htc wm phones; ie tilt on TOC 6.5; or tytn on wm 6.1??

My guess is that no... but if you're willing to try.. the worst thing that can happen is that you will have to hard reset your phone, but at least if you do try and it works, i mean it can help a lot of people.

CNAP on my Diamond with Roger's Wireless network is working for me after installing this rilphone cab. Thank you D0MZE, Captain_Throwback and the other contributors.
I have found that generally after flashing a new radio, I need to re-install the rilphone cab for the caller name to show up in the call history list. Also, I have assumed that in order to keep the Roger's CNAP functionality, I need to stay with this rilphone until Roger's issues a newer version. I also don't really like hard resets so I'm being conservative about flashing. So for now, as I experiment with newer radios, I keep using the rilphone cab provided in this thread.

You can use diff radios with the CAB, but just that sometimes functions in the radio arent implemented in the rilphone.dll which kinda sucks.
For now it will take time until rogers releases another windows mobile phone, so... my opinion is that we're going to have to wait.
Damn rogers.
Concerning the @ sign, it's normal, it just means that the name is longer than what the phone can take.

Has anyone tried this on a tilt with a custom ROM? Tempted to try this...

Rogers Name Display for WM6.5 HTC HD2
It doesn't work for WM6.5 on my HTC HD2, can somebody share rilphones.dll from WM6.5 Rogers/Fido device with me?

If i install a 6.5 rom can i revert back to 6.1 htc rom?

Just in case i dont like it or am i stuck with cooked roms thereafter?

Yes, Once installed HardSPL, you can put on any rom you wish,
This means, that you can flash Official Roms (Perhaps to change language) or Cooked Roms, As long HardSPL is on your device, you can reflash any Rom that is built for your device
Since HardSPL cannot be removed by flashing a rom (you can remove it with the removal utility) you don't have to worry about Official or Cooked roms ;-)

Hey!
Thanks for such an informative and quick reply!
I'm just thinking about my warranty etc and also whats the best 6.5 to try whilst i have your help?
Does Dutty not do Tpaz roms?
Cheers

W.r.t warranty, if you ever have to send your phone in for repair under warranty, be sure to remove hard SPL with the removal tool first

Thanks mate, whats the 6.5 rom you are running like? is it fast? any benefits?

Dutty does not work on the Topaz (yet? xD)
I still use a highly (self) customized stock rom,
If you want to use a 6.5 rom I'd recommend Tom's or udK's roms.
And indeed, if you ever need to return your phone, Try to flash a stock rom & remove HardSPL from your device, and you should be ok ;-)

I am running Tom Codons' latest 6.5 ROM - Biggest benefit to me is that windows media player appears to have more video codecs than before - I can now play vids that would not play on 6.1.
Toms ROM is genreally fast and bug free and he includes a registry editor for your convenience!

Ok great thanks guys!
As HTC dont supply a stock rom are the original rooms on the wiki mirror the same?

The ROM's which names start with RUU... are official ROM's from HTC. The question is if you find the original ROM that is on your TOPAZ right now.
If it is not listed yet, you might not be able to get back to your original status once u flashed a cooked ROM.
A possibility is to dump your original ROM and try to create the files for reflashing it. I never tried by myself, but I see in the threads of "TOPAZ ROM development" that it is not that easy.
At the end it's your decision to accept the risk.

Great thanks!
Well im flashing with Toms 6.5 rom and yeah i have hardspled
Cheers guys!
oh and i have a tomtom 7 version, what sat nav you all preferring? need to get an 'extended' version ideally to play with

I had some voice problems with tomtom, So I use iGo8

what did that cost ya?

Not that much *rolling eye's*
Although tomtom is fine with the fix...

Go with Garmin GMXT just google for the K*y Gen and procedures.

Looks like garmin dont like built in gps? at least not what i tried!

I was previously using Tomtom but had the voice command cut-off problem and the fix available here didn't fix it.

@ Garmin XT users,
I don't know that particular GPS software,
And have 2 questions about it,
1) Does it have Dutch voices?
2) Does it have a Belgium only map?
If you could answer these questions I would be very happy,
Cause iGo8 isn't the best there is either

Detailed post of how to do this is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=585201 however i suggest you also look in the ROMs section as well and see if you can find a ROM you like
2-what is the manilla
Manila in plain terms is a skin over the top of windows mobile to make everything more pleasant smoother and easier to run (this is also known as TF3D and Sense in the earlier ROMs)
3-what is the radio ,does it updated with the rom or i have to update both
The radio controls all your wireless running gprs etc this comes with the ROM . Never tried updating the radio alone so may or may not be possible
4-what is the best website for rom and radio ilike the rom look like the original
*might be wrong on this just going off what i've read*
All the ROMs in the forum are made from original (stock) ROMs which have then been tweaked to remove items that are not needed or wanted .. Add items in that are needed or wanted or to change the look and functionality of the original.
5-WHAT IS THE MEANING OF WM6.5.X WHAT IS THE X,I'M LOOKING FORWARD TO INSTALL WM6.5.3 LIKE THE HD MINI
WM6.5.X is a term to say will work on WM6.5.1 WM6.5.2 WM6.5.3 without having to list each one individually
