Hi All,
Ok, ive been doing a ton of reading on this forum trying to learn about the device and what i could do with and without.
One key thing people say is get rid of all the o2 customization stuff. I understand this is done best by upgrading the phones ROM. I read lots of talk about the Qtek ROM being a popular choice.
I have been playing about with cabs and roms since reading this forum. Currently i have the "RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe" ROM installed on my phone.
My question is, what ROM file shall i upgrade to? Or is the one i am on now ok?
I have also been looking for the task bar program ive seen talked about. Can anyone tell me this programs name?
Thanks for any replies!!! =]

better rom for o2 mini s
I would like to know this too. I've searched the forums for the last couple of days and it's a minefield. :?
I've just got my XDA Mini S from O2 and would like to upgrade my ROM.:shock:
Also what good software is there for this model running WM5. Already have Totalcommander and have tweaked the Camera and opened up Engineer mode but not a lot else.
Can anyone suugest the best ROM to upgrade the mini s to - it looks like we'll be here forever waiting for 02 to release. If someone could post what ROM they have upgarded their UK mini s to that would be great.
Thanks in advance.

O2 Mini S
I am using the following ROM on a number of phones primarily to enable Direct Push email:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/ login xda password xda
Under Qtek Roms:
186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe
Look for one with this in it 2170702_21707102_20710
Only niggle would be the keyboard issue in that it is mapped differently. You can make a change in the registry to correct this:
I also used the following tools:
Under Misc:
Lockiwiz02b to unlock the phone and CID
aWizard-v1_3beta2 does a similar thing but also enables RAPI needed to talk to the Wizard during a ROM upgrade.
MobileRegistryEditor by Breaksoft
Also it may be worth getting the UK_GPRS_settings.zip file to enable the GPRS settings.
I've just put this ROM on my O2 Mini S
RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
And all seems to be OK.
Can anyone tell me how to use this rom
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Roms/Tmobile/RUU_Prodigy_2170702_217_20710_TMO_US.exe
and put it on a xdaIIs?
Do I need to use a noid.exe and if so wihci one should I use?
You can't do it like that - it would be lovely if you could but a rom for the Wizard would need to be ported for it to work on the BlueAngel. To try it would give you a very nice doorstopper.
Ahh thanks for the warning!! So can this be ported from the wizard to the xdaIIs?
I would love to use the WM5 but as far as I have learned WM5 does not support Blackberry Enterprise aka Instant mail, and I have not found any CAB files that will work on my XDAIIs with WM5 installed. I am getting pretty good at upgrading and downgrading tho :-(
All of the TuMa editions are using a Wizard Port (allbeit an old version). They are really quite stable now and I think we're getting close to a rom to stick with
As far as Blackberry support, I haven't seen a BA WM5 rom with it however I imagine it could be ported but then again, I am no porter!
Kind regards

I found a German BB connect cab that will install on the BA WM5 that ivan made but right at the very end of the install it says cannot load instal module. You click ok and the program tells you it installed. When you go to find the BB settings eve in the BA it is under \windows and when you try to execute it the unit hangs up.
I assume that this cab is looking for the T-Mobile info to complete the install so we would have to have one of the very bright individuals in this forum find out what it is looking for exactly and fix that part of it. The BA WM5 would work with BB connect
Hi everyone,
congratulations on the good work with this forum!
I have recentrly upgrade to one of the ROMs that pug offers (Alpine_Ext-1.11.162_Radio-1.04_O2stuffstripped_Camera_Fixed.rar) and I am very happy with it.
I was wondering though...is there any similar ROM that doens't include any unnecessary software? For example, I don't use the clearvue viewer and I would like to get rid of it.
Is there any ROM with all the functionality (bluetooth, wifi, etc) but without the extra software?
I tried using the er2003edit program but it keeps asking for a password when I open a ROM file
Thanks

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 not sure who to agree with...it really shouldn't matter so much to people.

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 - 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.
I'm really new to this and everywhere it says: ROMs and Kitchen and also ROM Kitchen and I can never find what a kitchen really is. If search Kitchen I find all these kitchen files which people created, but is it something where you flash your mobile with? Like my Xperia I flashed from version 1 to version 2 (RCAA2 or something).
But I don't know all these terms and maybe they are so easy that if you don't know it you can't find it anywhere. For example when I want to download WinMO 6.5 it says: Kitchen and ROM, but I don't know the difference and just wanted to flash my mobile (which is rather easy i thought)
So can someone tell me the difference?
in the kitchen developers cook the rom's
a rom is the program you flash to your phone to update it
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kovsky&redirectfrom=HTC_Venus
a rom is more a image that you flash to your device than a program
kitchen is the programm you need to cook a rom...
to cook a rom mean to create your own image for your device
Ah I see, thanks for the answers. I just updated mine to WM 6.5 looks good, but as my endless GPRS is starting in may I know still want to use NoData, which is not working, so i'm going back to generic.
Thanks for the answers I know have more of an idea of the meanings
