Hi Guys,
i am completely new to this, so i could use a little help here...
I already looked up my chip (its a samsung) to help out for the HSPL, and i informed myself about the possibilities...
But i still got one big question...
Is there a way to flash a normal HTC ROM on my T-Mobile branded TP2 without using HSPL? Should i use Goldcard, and if yes, can anyone link me a good tutorial or how - to for it?
Because its anoying that you can't install skype oder any messengers and so on...
I would also upload my German T-Mobile ROM, if anyone would tell me how to backup it...
Thanks in advance
A ROM-Dump isn't really practicable because of missing HardSPL!
To get a GoldCard send cmonex a PM with the question for helping you! Got mine yesterday and the Stock HTC ROM isn't as good as my o2 Stock ROM!
BTW:
It's necessary to spend some money to cmonex for getting this little mod! But with her way of GoldCard, you can flash any Stock ROM straight from your PC to your TP2! And you will help developing HardSPL!
I hope its at least better than my stock T-Mobile, cause it really sucks and i don't get updates at all, so i still got buggy GPS and the + bug, which is really annoying...
But so far thx a lot for your help
I think it will be good for you to flash the o2 ROM as it has a huger amount of free memory and seems to be more stable than the HTC ROM, then flash Radio 3.46, which can be found here on XDA! For sure, after getting the GoldCard from cmonex/Olipro (),
Please read and search before starting a new thread.

well, i have been reading thru this site since i submitted the post. It seems kinda straight formward to do the rom upgrade. But, i cant find a way to backup my rom and stuff. It says that OSImageTool does it on the PPC 2002 and PPC 2003 but, not on PPC2003SE. Any suggestions ? Maybe i aint looking in the right direction ?
Thanx in Advance.
Hi,
Also, i have another question... In which order do i do the update ?
Rom, Radio, ext rom ?
Thanx
You can do them all at once. Other than that, it really doesn't matter.
how do i backup my current rom?
Here is a link that tells you how to backup you're ROM in case you want to downgrade beware this only backsup the ROM and not files or software you installed.
http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=151
You can use XBackup in the programs to backup contacts software etc, however you can not restore to a different ROM version.
orite, thanx alot.

Hi everyone. I wanted to upgrade my m700 to the dopod rom to get the phonepad. How can i save the existing orange rom so that i can put it back if i need to. Or is the orange rom available for download anywhere.
Thanks guys
Rob
update
i have done a bit more searching around and i cant seemed to find a dumped orange rom.
In that case should i try to dump my rom before i upgrade so at least we all have one. Have no idea how to do it though.
I would be very keen to learn how to do this too before I start modifying my phone. I have a feeling its not possible YET for the P3600 though since there is no page for it on the XDADeveloperWiki for the Trinity. Can someone confirm this?
Thanks,
James
wiki
There is a wiki. There is a post about it in the stickies at the top of the forum page.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Trinity
However, it doesnt tell us how to do it anyway so not much use in this case.

just bumping this one.
Thanks guys.
Hello all,
has anyone dumped the ROM from the Orange M700 yet?
If I flash my handset and then something goes wrong I'd like to be able to go back the Orange ROM if I need to send it back to them or use the insurance.
Also does anyone have a decent alternative to Phonepad for texting? I've got it installed but its being really hit and miss so I thought I'd try something else (ideally free)
cheers
I would also like to see a M700 original orange ROM
I think you''ll find the cover insures against Theft and loss. as you've said , you've already broken the terms by using a 3rd party ROM so if you do mess up your phone with a rom then why not say you lost it?
Just send it back to Orange anyway, ive sent loads back, a few with non original roms, nobody is bothered they get hundreds returned every day, they all go into a big pile and get reconditioned.
Only downside is on domestic contract you have to pay for replacement "admin fee".
My partner just bought a M700 too... Is there anyway I can get the Orange ROM off her phone??? Thanks in advance...

@Kyri: yes, read the wiki... how to dump & how to reconstruct.

Upgrade the ROM then.
mUn_1.25.TE_AKU3.5.2_WWE/FRE [updated release]
or
[new OS kernel] 2007-04-14 AKU 3.5.2 LVSW Edition
both will update the main ROM. you may need to update the radio to at least 1.38.00.11 seperately
@pof
is there an easier way to dump roms yet? an all in one app would be brilliant
Carefull asking for this one!!
I got the head chewed off me in another thread - told check others first before asking for something again!!!!
I think I'm asking for something new ... looking at the dumping instructions its not exactly the easiest thing in the world. I was looking for something along the lines of the ROM updating process .... have to wait and see
i know im abit late with the rom change on my htc hd, but i was wondering which rom would be best to switch to, because lately my phone has really been pee'in me off, keeps freezing and all sorts, especially when i try changing my wallpaper. the phones locked on orange uk and have the original rom installed, 1.14.405.3 WWE, will this effect the flashing process or is it likely to cause any problems, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
energy rom is so far the best

+1,agree,the fastest rom ever tryed
hey thanks for the reply, i'll definatly give it a go, what about manilla v3, i saw it a while back but cnt seem to find it now, that seemed nice but im guessing it isnt as fast as the energy one.
one more thing ig anyone's great enough to help, whats the best way of flashing my device and what to do, this is my first windows mobile device and was wondering what to do, theys these words going around like uspl and hspl but none make sense, i have the original rom and have jus downloaded the energy rom and want to upgrade, what do i need to do. thanks in advance.
There's a guide on the wiki.
USPL is for more advanced users, I'd start with Hard SPL
Just Hard SPL and flash the ROM.
P.S. what the best ROM is, is subjective. Each to there own, just try a few and see what you like.
Thread Closed.
