A soft reset is just when you reboot your handset, but a hard reset is when u reset windows mobile to its factory settings (Deleting All Data)...
The best versions of touchflo are one that are cooked into roms, installing the touchflo after you have flashed a rom can lead to slow boot up times and also slow browsing of the windows directory in file manager...
the best version of the touchflo is v 2.1 at the moment, i suggest you try the one on yozgatg's rom found here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521941 as he is the one that converted this version of manilla for our devices

thanks for your help but which one of those files do i download

Heres the download link for his latest rom

Anyone can come up with an ultralight ROM for X1

Hi all,
I would like to know if there has been any ultralight ROMs produced for the X1.
I do not know why there are X1 ROMs that model the touch interface but I dun need all that silliyness as well.
Just a plain ROM will do.
Look at Kack's ROM version 1.04. This is a lite ROM that I use

Xbmode cause manilla.exe to crash. urgent!

Im so sorry, im not the kind of person that makes treads and post them as urgent. But this is truly urgent.
I have .net 3.5 cf installed on my phone, i then installed xbmod policy.cab and restarted. Disabled tf3d, installed XBmod VGA Rhodium Manila.cab, rebooted and installed HTC New Contact Card.cab. Once again i reboted, installed Start menu fix.cab and the reboted again. Then i enabled tf3d.
But it all crashes everytime! Manilla.exe crashes and gives a report
'Microsoft.VisualBasic recources not found.
Please im going away and i really need the phone to be working.
I also have sdkcerts installed and i have pressed the reset button with the stylus a couple of times
I would just reflash the ROM or try another ROM altogether that already has Manila 2 already on board. There are 2 in existence. One I am currently using and it works great.
First of all some background please.
Do u have Hard SPL already installed?

If you have an original ROM then it may be that you don't have NET 3.5 Framework, yes?
yeah that must be it... lol ... hope that's his answer.. i remember my stock rom didn't have that but all the custom i've used has it cooked in..
Just go "Cooked" and you will never go back...lol
We can set up a day where I will help u through if you wish...

No matter how many times you do this, it won't work without Netframework 3.5.

No, don´t softreset after installing VGA rhodium manila.cab - just hit continue or cancel (I don´t remember..) and proceed with the HTC new contact Card.cab. and then softreset.
This is from the installation instructions in post #3
Hope this helps..

Flashing to new rom

I'm sorry for this post, because the answer is probelly somewhere on this forum. But I can't find it.
I have my diamond for about a year now and I like to install a custom rom with windows mobile 6.5. But I can't seem to figure out what I need for this.
I already chosen a rom, but I have no idea if it is any good, because there are so many roms out.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=563245
So my first question, is this rom any good?
Second question, what type of hard SPL do I need, Do I need the normal one that requires roms to be signed or do I need the developers edition?
Third question. Do I need MTTY for this or can I first try it without MTTY?
And the last question, if I don´t like the rom is it easy to install the original rom again or do I need to do something special for that.
I hope you guys can answer my questions so I can start flashing my rom.
Grtz, Eric
EDIT: I tried installing hard-SPL unsigned, but get an error that it can't connected to my phone. But it is connected using windows mobile device center
why do you want to flash a new rom?
ive recenetly done the same, i wanted to flash my rom as the original was tied to vodafone and some of the features like youtube, facebook, and opera wouldnt work as they wanted vodafone connection ( im on virgin mobile).
anyway after much trial and error i in the end found it versy easy.
3 simple steps. first flash your bootloader
i found the best and easiest one was spl olinex version 4.0
u need to softboot to do this ( hold the down volume and switch on phone, have usb cable connected then use the flash util provided with the above.
once thats done you need to flash rom the radio
again the one out there that seems the best to use is version 1.00.25.05 diamondruu radio
again soft reset so you get the try colour screen and run the flash rom update ( takes about 2 mins at most)
finally choose your version of win mobile 6.5 ( i got windows revoluton 7.1 ultra clean edition)
do soft reset again, then run the flash update and again this takes about 5-10 mins for this)
all worked perfectly for me and it was my first try.
though i will be changing it as the revolution is missing some vital aspects i like.
i know its basic but hopeully you can see its not the daunting prospect some people make out though any rom upgrade carries a minot risk i found this to be as easy as 1,2,3
good luck

Because I would like some new features on my phone. Like wm 6.5 or a new version of manilla. It's getting a little boring having the same phone for over a year.
@miramele, thanks for your response. I'll give it a try tomorrow and hope I won't brick my phone.
let us know how you get on, it took me several attempts as each time i was trying while within the phone itself, if you hold the down volume key and power on the phone you get the tri colour screen, in this mode i had 100% success each time.
doing it within the OS with phone on it just stuck at 0%.
And since then i have re flashed it with a diff version of wm 6.5 that i prefer and all is good.
the version i flashed to is the manila 2.1 with the latest touchFLO 3d so ive not even bothered with Spb mobile shell though may add this later.

Thanks for the advice, if I understand correctly I have to get to the tri-color screen and then install hard-spl? But can I connect to my laptop while in this mode?
I'm gone try it tomorrow because I didn't have any time today.
Thanks for all the help, especially miramele.
I made the step and am now running a custom rom without any issues. Many thanks for the help and for pulling me over the line.

Help needed reverting back to WM6.1

Hi, if anyone could please help me i would be gratefull, i recently purchased a D2 but its already preloaded with WM6.5 rom version 2.53.405.5 (76952)WWE, But i really wanted WM6.1 as, among other things, i wanted to use the handwriting rec.
does anyone know what stock rom to reload? and where i can get it? sorry to ask such a basic question.
thanks in advance,
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=2&dl_id=613
thanks for that, however it seems to have just bricked the phone
thanks for that, however it seems to have just bricked the phone
it seemed to work, all the correct messages displayed
but......
now all that happens is it turns on, shows the touch diamond2 screen, then resets
it has the following text in red in the lower left hand corner
r 3 . 43. 25 .19
g 61. 20t. 25. 10U
d 1. 39. 47382
does any one have any ideas?
Try to hard reset.
tried that before i posted
and a soft reset, and another hard reset to be sure,
i searched the forum but couldn't find any reference to that type of error either.
any ideas on how to retrieve it from paperweight mode?
Download stock ROM for your region
Unpack it with WinRar or TotalCMD
Rename RUU_signed.nbh to topaimg.nbh
Copy topaimg.nbh on your SD card
Enter bootloader (hold volume down and turn on phone) and follow instructions
edit:I guess for wm 6.1 you need lower version of SSPL
thanks dude, i used the bootloader to reinstall the latest rom from HTC.
Topaz_S2_HTC_WWE_2.53.405.5_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.44etc.25.35_4.49.25.91_Ship
my phone is no longer a brick however i am back to square 1 in that i still have wm6.5, and i want 6.1
ive tried to reflash with the older rom fighter7139 suggested
RUU_Topaz_HTC_WWE_1.39.405.3_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.20t.25.10_3.43.25.19_Ship
but it gives me the same rebooting error.
any ideas why wont the older rom work on my phone? or if theres an alternative to that rom ?
thanks
I've loaded hardspl 1.83 and extracted the file RUU_signed.nbh and renamed it to topaimg.nbhand,
i moved it to the SD card, reflashed the phone with the 6.1 rom,
but i get the same error.
any idea on what rom i should use to update from?
or what stock spl i'd need to run this rom's version of 6.1 ?
a thought
maybe i don't even need 6.1, all i want to do is to fix two things -
1) make the sms messaging work like on the old htc devices ie diamond or tytn ie not use htc messaging
2) add handwriting recognition
- would also be nice to have the taskmanger icon, the battery icon and the original windows start menu back too, but im not dependent on them....
so i guess any rom would do that allows these functions, any help or info on this would be much appriciated

http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=249&cat=0&dl_id=824
thanks for that, however that was the first thing i tried, i saw the download for the handwriting ap just after i got the phone, not knowing it didnt have it when i swapped from my diamond,
the thing is the update only works on certian AP version control builds -
the message on the site is -
Note: AP version control -> The criterion will pass if the Touch Input for Pocket is equal to Version 2.1 (Build1919.1320), or lower.
mines a higer version, which i assumed originally had to do with it being wm6.5 not 6.1,
- i have tried downloading and installing anyway but it wont load.
does anyone know how to get this update to load, or how to change the AP version control back to a lower version ?????
any help would be much appriciated.
if it matters,
i'm running Duttys HG, and ive flashed to hardspl,
i don't mind flashing back to whatever, i just really need the handwriting app
The handwriting SIP is likey hidden.
There is a reg edit to unhide, just search SIP Reg Edit and you should find it.
If I recall it was under the WM general tweaks.
thanks for that, i got the letter and block rec working, but still not the transcriber the reg key shows it should be showing, but i think the actual file may not be there,
fixed after changing the reg, and downloading the update, you then need this transcriber cab

Any luck finding a way to get 6.1 working on this phone? I just bought the Pure from AT&T as a replacement for my LG Incite that had 6.1 on it. So far I can't stand 6.5 at all. My main beef is with IE, I really like the one on my Incite vs. this one. And my other problem is with the start menu, I also prefer the drop-down style in 6.1.
Thanks for any replies or help.

Start here.
Once you unlock your phone, you can flash to anything you want.
6.5 is hands down better than 6.1, there are 6.5.219xx builds that have the drop down start menu.
Thanks Bruce!
For some reason I couldn't find a good Pure forum, so that link helps a lot.

[Q] this is how new bees or moderate users of wm brick their phones.....must read

Well it was a terrible mistake i made and i was quite sure this time it would have gone miles away( my kaiser)
i flashed my Kaiser for over 11 times in past one week
every time i flash with Ahmed Fakiry rom and tried to install different cabs ( downloaded from different sources, mostly xda-developers) my phone went on sleep due to bad factors( like once i by mistake installed QVGA themes of SPB 3.5x) to my Kaiser and in result its lost
then again same ahmed fakery rom flashed and i uploaded a battery saving tweak but same problem with flashed rom, gone and stuck with windows image after boot( no hard or soft reset seems to be working)
Well Lastly today when my phone was perfectly working, having 6.5 cooked rom Ahmed Fakiry with SPB shell and all basic required cabs, i was using opera 10. through wifi, surfing XDA-Developers, i saw iphones today and i hit the cab button and with in a whle it was on board
right after it was installed, working perfectly, i click settings, then my kaiser was hang, battery removed, soft reset, memory card removed, hard reset using soft buttons and stylus, etc, nothing seems to be working fine with my phone
at last again xda-developers forum....
so finally i re flashed my phone with boot loader mode and usb, same FAKIRY ROM, but again the same problem was commin.....my question here is why it happened again and again( i flashed it three times using boot loader, whereas i re flashed my phone using boot loader with Dutty official 6.1 rom and its working fine and phone was alive again
Can some one help me in this matter that if there is a crush on your cooked rom with such kind of issues, why this problem is occurring again and again and if now i wish to flash my rom again using sync( phone is currently having dutty 6.1 5.2.19716 UC to Ahmed Fakiry roms( 6.5)ahmedfikry wm6.5 23569 Tilt 3D UC light rom V3.....?
Please post your valuable comments and guide me in this regards and others like me....appreciated your response
EDIT:
WELL i again flashed and upgraded to ahmed Fakiry rom (ahmedfikry wm6.5 23569 Tilt 3D UC light rom V3) from old dutty 6.1
now its working fine
but waiting for advise from experts....
