Question before flashing my device...

Hello all, first off this is the absolute BEST PDA forum around. And Ive found just about all information I need. I JUST NOW successfully HardSPLed my device! W00T! Ive looked around and cant answer my last question though, I want to use a rom that is a WM6.1 bc I want threaded text, ive currently got wm6 on my T-Mo Wing (Herald) or whatever you guys like to call it lol. Do I need to do anything before flashing the WM6.1 Rom? Any suggestions on what Rom to use? I really like the idea of touch flo! Any help is appreciated!

Okay, Sir.
First off all you should know that I'm kinda new to the XDA scene as well but I've manage to flash my device right at the first attempt. What you have to do is following:
1. HardSPL your device
2. Check bootloader if process was successful
3. Get the RUU and put your *.nbh into the RUU folder (Image)
4. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the steps
That's it. Be sure to be ActiveSynced all the time!
Oh and for the ROM request: I can strongly suggest OpenTouch V7.7 Manilla2D - a pretty nice ROM imho.
If there are any questions left don't hesitate to ask
Cheers

i'll recommend the easier flash method, as long as you have a microSD card. you can download any rom image your wish to flash, and place it in the root directory of the sd card as HERAIMG.nbh (i beilieve. look it up, i haven't flashed in a while). just hold the camera button down as you turn on the device, and it'll load into bootloader mode. from there, just follow the instructions.
while opentouch and many other roms that already have many programs are nice, i always recommend the exact opposite. the best and fastest rom i have ever used is just2clean. it has tons of free memory left, and just the basics pre-installed. makes a great base to install just what you want, and easily be able to remove what you don't.

Awesome. Thank you both for the info! I think im gonna go with OpenTouch V7.7 Manilla2D. Ive seen youtube vids on it and it looks appealing.... Thanks again... Going to update as soon as i get off work =P. Will post if i have any problems. But maybe ill ask a last question, will OpenTouch V7.7 Manilla2D leave me much space left over after the flash?

Around 30MB afaik. If you need more space for apps etc. try the JustMe ROM with up to 70MB of free storage.
Cheers

Ok so i couldnt actually find the download link to 7.7, like i click on the 7.7 link in his sig, but couldnt actually fond the download. but i read clear thru the forum and found V7.3..... Successful install...Now I think im gonna try his windows vista beta. Thanks for the help!

Well, have fun at reflashing Here are the links to build V7.7
Click

Lol im d/l it now. Got sent home from work bc of power failur... yay. But where did u find the link? i looked ALL over lastnight. The Touch IT Vista Beta worked well but i was really wanting this Open Touch 7.7 so im flashing again! Once again thanks... See ya on the other threads!

It's there at the very bottom.

Thank you for the information.
Actually allowing me to download it.
Probably won't flash it for a while.
Everything I normally use, works just fine.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
If you are having problems downloading it, get it here.

Downoaded it. Loaded it onto my TP2. Wished I hadn't. Performance is now dreadful!
Phone sticks in the call screen, and I've lost my licenced version of CoPilot.

I have all the ROMs except the Portuguese one (which I dont have a valid S/N for) at http://xda.caspersworld.co.uk
EDIT: Now have the Portuguese ROM as well

Thank you for the heads up. I was just about to download it when I read your comment.
My Rhoduim works great with the stock rom it came with. (1.19.401.0) So like the guy said in another thread here in the Rhoduim section "If it ain't broke it don't need to be fixed".
Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to some custom roms.

I've downloaded it. Runs smooth, no problems. I updated my copilot last week with the one in the htc site. It wouldn't allow me to use my licence on it. Contacted copilot, they replied straight away with
Please proceed with the following instructions to allow you to activate successfully on the Touch Diamond 2 / Touch Pro 2.
1) Hard reset your device (as HTC stop CoPilot from being removed from the device once installed)
2) Download the latest installer from http://support-downloads.alk.com/copilot7-cabs/Touch-Diamond-Pro-2-Non-RPS-CAB.zip
3) Delete \Storage Card\CoPilot\Save
4) Unzip the above ZIP and it should contain a copilot.wm6ppc.cab
5) Download the map from our portal www.copilotlive.com/htc
6) Unzip the file and copy the folder CoPilot into your Storage Card
7) Install this on your device (navigate and tap it using File Explorer)
8) Once installed, Launch CoPilot
9) You will now be asked for a product key code
10) Select Manual Activation
11) Go to http://activate.alk.com and enter
Your Product Key Code
Your License number (found on your device manual activation screen)
Your Email Address
12) When provided from the Activation Website with an Activation Code, tap NEXT on your device and enter this into your device
13) CoPilot should now activate successfully
I tried it using automatic activation and it worked.
After updating to this new rom, copilot remained in my program directory and was still activated. Not sure how they managed to do that.
Hope that helps

what has changed? My rom has version 1.14.161.5 on it. It works like a dream after lots of tweaks and fiddles have been applied but I always want the the latest stuff. Does anyone know what has changed between mine and the new one?

I'm using a T-Mobile USA Touch Pro 2 and noticed that I'm running ROM 1.20.531.4 (51986) WWE with Radio 3.45.25.14.. If you guys need a rom dump of that, let me know, I'll see what I can do for ya'll

3g was gone
i am writing from Turkey and my carrier's name is turkcell... i installed that rom last night..it is bad for me, my carrier's 3g support was gone..the 3g icon doesnt appear anymore..what can i do ?

do you have 3G support with that radio?.

Yes, because it's an official TP2 for TMobile.

thanks for your response. I had some hope to be a radio based issue rather than the common hardware issue we've seen with all the generic devices. disregard my PMs though.
thanks again.

Q: can this be ported onto the US TP2?
CAN SOMEONE DUMP THE FILE HERE instead of going via HTC site

this cannot be port to youre device becouse there is NO hardspl.
you need that.. then you can flash roms other then youre languide (custom roms)

Hi all, newbie here.
I've got a UK vodafone Pro2 with ROM 1.14.161.5 (50207) WWE.
Tried updating the ROM but says my serial is not valid for this ROM!!!
I am also unable to update with the GPS hotfix as its not compatible ??
Is this due to the fact that its using Vodafones own ROM and therefore we arent allowed to reflash the ROM ?
I have emailed HTC but while waiting a reply was wondering if anyone here would help out.
Thanks!
Paul

did you get reply from HTC? I have the same issue with WWE version, and it's not branded.

Yeah i did, its due to the fact that its a custom Vodafone ROM. Therefore updating is not possible via HTC, they advised me to contact vodafone themselves to see if they have released any updates themselves.
couldn't find anything useful at all on the vodafone website.
Looks like I'm stuck... for now.
Apparently its not possible to to re-flash the ROM yet? something to do with HardSPL.. I don't know, complete noob at this so far.
Hope you have better luck.

Should I load the ROM??
I dont care what memory it says it has - I dont care where the finance quotes come from (these are the 2 stated improvements) - surely this is not the only reason to upgrade a ROM???

Mobile version expiration date??

had dloaded 23547 three days ago then had problems so went back to 23529. Now today i got a message saying that this moble version will expire on may 1 2010. did this happen cuz i went back to an older version ???never ever had this problem with any roms before. any ideas??

The ROM you downloaded did not have the "timebomb" removed from it by the chef. You should contact the chef to let them know so they can re-cook the ROM.
If you cooked it yourself in your own kitchen, you can consult with any of the other Chefs to obtain the utility to remove the timebomb and re-cook the ROM. Although, most of the kitchens I know of automatically check for and remove the timebomb. There may also be a link to the utility in the development thread somewhere...just do a search.

thank you. it was an energy rom so i think i will just wait for his next one after 25249 and try it.!!I really liked the 25429 one as it does not have the mute probelm like the latest ones have had.

Was it giving you the expiration on the Office 2010?

Mute button is working again on the latest one.

Ok nice. Another issue was when i click on people on my list.eg.pete so i go to p it will scroll back up to a after 3 secs. weirddd.

if you are having a problem with a particular chef's rom, you should post it in the thread you downloaded it from...not start a new thread.

New ROM I8700XXKH2 [SamFirmware] But...

Files in the ROM are not signed... SamFirmware looking for a solution because this ROM may contain MANGO (specific to the Omnia 7).

It's actually so easy to know the exact build of Mango that it contains just dump the VersionID.txt from the IMGFS with HTCRIE as it contains all the compilation information.

someone has a link ?
I can't find it on samfirmware.

ROM is not deployed at this time because the files are not signed.
SamFirmware are looking for a solution for that ROM can be flashed.

what approximate date of Mango release??

Found KD1 on Samfirmware but it doesn't like my Onmia.....KH1 not in the list of download options, maybe a news article?

KD1 is signed by WP_ENGINEER certificate (or whatever, but it can't be flashed on our devices with our current SPL). The same is probably the KH2 ROM. If it was at least on their website, I could check whether it is Mango or not and whether I should mess with it around or not

The ROM I8700XXKH2 will not release !

What about power users?

This version will be release soon. With new radio and MANGO.
http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/blog/show/8355882-windows-phone-7-5-omnia-7
And for information there is another version for dev : ROM I8700XXKI1

If I understand the blog post correctly, they say, that they could not release WP7_PRODUCT ROM, so they released only WP7_ENGINEER.
If I had spare Omnia, I would give it a try, but I don't have one.

Hmm. I wonder if this one will have the new localized display languages?

Samsung could make a case in court against us.
Because the roms are officialy not released by Samsung we can't do this.
The only thing we can do is releasing the rom so you guys can try it by yourself.

ROM is release but not unlock for all of us. Only Devs.
Samsungfirmware success to hack it but will not relase it. Umh how long we have to wait before hack be release !!!

Nope, just the classic
0C0A (Spanish), 040C (French), 0407 (German), 0409 (US English), 0410 (Italian), 0809 (UK English)

Okay, me and Ceesheim are trying out something.
There is .cab.pks file in the update, that contains only OEM specific updates:
http://clip2net.com/s/19zi6
(left extracted ROM, right the update package for the same item)
Ceesheim is trying to flash it through "Zune", I don't have spare phone to mess around on
Will keep you posted.
// The only thing that might be problem is the Radio (PHONE) part, as that one is not updated. Yet we update RIL in one of the packages :/.

so as far as I understood they released a rom BUT no one can install it because it is only for engineer phones? what are we supposed to do with this release????
f5 f5 f5 f5... waiting for news!

Actually
the enclosed .cab.pks contains everything - new bootloader (5.3.0.8 - but BE WARNED, it might be LOCKED TO WP7_ENGINEER RATHER WP7_PRODUCT! So further flashing Retail ROMs might be blocked!), new radio (2424.11.7.2) and the new drivers set (2424.11.8.2).
The update was succesfully deployed, and the phone booted fine.
Ceesheim is still trying some functions (phone, SMS) and I am trying to take out the new bootloader from the update package.

Yes, as I was afraid, it flashed WP7_ENGINEER bootloader onto the phone with the rest of the stuff too.
Until I can figure out which package contains it, DO NOT FLASH IT! or you will be locked to ENGINEER ROMs only!

What ROM is everyone using?

What's you favorite ROM?

I haven't found an 8.1 rom that has no problems yet. I went to go back to a 7.1 rom but my phone gives me error 7 code now. It won't let me go back wards from a 8.1 to a lower number.

I remember being more than warned about the antirollback feature . its in the hardware .
i dont know if you could use one of the unbrick guides to revert back. havent messed with my g4 since 2 yrs ago, no roms for it then.

Fashed back with no problem.
I flashed back to a older version after editing a installation file to get rid of a line that checks for what version I am currently using. I installed crdroid. Having some problems with the calling feature. I can't hang up. No big deal there are nice people helping me work things out. If I ever do find a solid rom, hopefully an 8.xx rom I will post here. But I now have a LG G7 Thin Q. But for fun I am going to keep messing around with my G4.
If any one has found a solid rom for 8.xx please share you info. Greatly apreciate it.
