[Question]Stock rhodium rom with WM6.5 and sense 2.5 - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hey guys.
Is there a stock WM6.5 sense 2.5 rom for the rhodium? Ive been searching but i cant find one. I need a Dutch (NLD) or English rom.
Thanks to all.
Peace out.

Stock ROM.
Yes, Theres WWE and some other versions. But trust me, you wont like it. I am on Energy and just switch to stock to see the difference, And I found myself back with an energy rom within one hour. But still you are interested, maybe can give you a link by tomorrow....

That would be nice

Here you are:
Official Europe Rom update for Touch Pro 2
- 2.07.401.1

Do you have HardSPL on your phone already ? Sorry if you already know this, but you won't be able to use an official HTC ROM unless you've got a non-carrier-branded phone (i.e. a plain HTC phone) and it's of the correct region. Or unless you install HardSPL.

Energy Rom
I see you talking about the energy rom. I've tried severall, but they al drain my battery like crazy....
Is there someone with a new energy rom link?
I've contact my carrier as the shop where i'v baught the phone. First i have to give them at least 5 changes to fix my realllyyyyyyyy slow interface..
After 5 times no succes they will think about replacement...
So, who can give me a good link for energy...

why not look in to the energy rom thread?

I must say, that stock ROM with sense 2,5 is really horrible. It is incredibly slow and unstable and it was the reason that I flashed to energy ROM which is more that 4 times faster and more stable.....
Don't flash to latest stock ROM
if you want to try then here are links, also with localizations

You have to adjust the battery and backlight settings, plus tweak using the advanced configuration program NRG has cooked in. Then it will get decent battery use.
Read the first three posts of the NRG ROM thread to get the download links.

Vodafone's version of TF3D

I've just received my (UK) Vodafone branded Touch Diamond. Disappointed that they have removed the cool black TouchFlo Today screen and replaced it with their own spindly looking red on white version. Can anyone point me to a copy of the standard HTC black TF3D today screen that I can install?
Just go an flash a new ROM onto it.
The Diamond Project Team V2 ROM is great!
Thanks, but I've only just got the phone and I rely on it for business use, so I really don't want to do something that drastic. I have flashed ROMs before but I'd prefer a simpler solution.
Sorry mate, there are no simpler solutions yet, but i'm sure a .cab file is in the pipeline somewhere from someone
Just out of interest, what version ROM comes with the VF branded device?
cheers
Paul
Hi,
ROM version is 1.37.161.2
ROM date is 06/26/08
Radio Version is 1.00.25.03
Protocol Version is 52.26a.25.09U
there is a cab available for tf3d but I am not sure if it will work 4 you. U can download it from TLR2's page.
You would definately benefit from flashing this rom
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408281
It's a stock rom, so it's not modified in any way. It fixes the memory leak that you will notice over the next few days on your rom, and it gives a massive speed increase. Oh, and it will give you the black TF3d!
Cheers
Paul
Thanks, maybe I'll try it in a few days. I haven't done a ROM for a year or so (flashed my old Tornado when I got a Vox), I presume there's a way of backing up the Vodafone ROM just in case?
Install this cab and enjoy black manila !!!
Thanks! I installed it, and it was just what I wanted, but it seemed slower and less responsive than the Vodafone version, maybe because it's a skin and not built into the ROM. I've gone back to the Vodafone one for now, maybe I'll flash the ROM as vlad69uk suggested, but I've only had the phone for a few hours so maybe I should wait a while!
Are you quite sure that this firmware has addressed unfamous memory leakage?

Fairly sure. I've been using this firmware for about 30 hours now, with exchange activesync, photo contacts, web browsing, all the usual stuff this phone should be able to do, and free program memory hovers around 35-45 meg (55-65%). so for me, it appears to have helped a great deal
As hankhill mentioned before, Vodafone uses its own modified ROM. Is there a way of backing up the current ROM before flashing a new one? (so I can restore/flash the Vodafone ROM for warranty puposes if needs be).
vodafone rom dump
hi guys,
can anyone who had vodafone daimond, please dump the vodafone rom please !!
Would be nice to get the Voda Red on white Touch Flo in reverse, just another alternative.

Someone needs to dump their VF ROM soon before they all get flashed into oblivion when users go to cooked or newer stock ROMs.

Orange Branded HD - Upgrade ROM

Hi Guys
Ive done a search but cant find anything specific so im starting a a new thread.
I have a Touch HD which I got through Orange UK.
Rom version sis: 1.19.61.1 WWE
At the moment im told that I cant receive any updates directly from the HTC site and orange dont really seem to care about offering a good after service.
So my option is to flash my phone with a new ROM, however which version to go for is my biggest question and I really dont have any idea. I understand the flash proceure. WIll any ROM allow updates from HTC site?
Thanks
Craig
hi
i also have a uk branded orange touch hd
i flashed it with the latest official rom from htc (the one that needs a serial number to download and the orange serials dont work)
just use a serial provided in the offical rom upgrade thread to download the rom from htc and use uspl 2.5 to flash it
i used uspl 2.5 to upgrade the rom
all info can be found using the search fuction on this forum
i also made a dump of the phone before i flashed it, just need someone to rebuild the .raw files to a flashable rom
hope this helps
math
Nice one Math, that helps a lot! Will give this a go over the weekend.
Craig
Ok, where do we start? Which ROM you choose is really a bit like asking what car should I choose to buy. The choice is entirely yours based on what you want and what you like.
I think the first question to ask yourself is what do you want? What Windows Mobile OS do you want? WM6.1, WM 6.1 with Touch flow, WM 6.1 with the latest version of Touch flow or WM 6.5 Beta. I'm sure there are more but lets keep it simple.
WM 6.1 or 6.5? HTC Touch Flow or not? What is your native language as you have nothing set in your profile etc?
May I suggest you have a look through the first few posts of each of the ROM threads for this month and see what takes your fancy. If you ask ten people you will get ten possibly different answers.
Look at peoples signatures and see what most people use as most display what current ROM they are using. Maybe try a few, but I suggest use the safest route and follow the instructions to the letter.
Its always a matter of personal opinion but I like Duttys current WM6.1 with TF3D XT3. It's the latest and well tested with fewer bugs than the stock ROM from HTC (IMHO) and is based on the latest technology from the next gen HTC phones.
Do your research and enjoy!

Yes, the choose is your, but as an Orange user myself. I was bored with the official HTC Orange Rom and decided to flash my rom. Did manage to keep the back up on original rom in cause of warranty reason. I have try quite a lot of cook rom the only problem I had was mainly with battery life wasn’t good and will not last for a day or so. Since with this rom, HD|ROM||WWE|| ** EnergyROM HD Series 21042 - Final Topaz Manila ** || Build 40909 || man!! The software and battery life is incredible. Yes I would recommend to you

where did u get this rom from? link?
couple of newbie questions. I also have orange phone ...
If I upgrade to the latest HTC rom will I loose all my programs installed in the phones memory?
Will I loose my programs/they stop working (e.g. Tomtom) that have been reigstered with the phone (in add/remove programs) on my memory card?
Can I restore everything from a backup (sprite) ?
Is there any way of goign back to the older ROM if I need to send my phone back for warranty reasons?
Thanks

Thanks for info. Just to clarify a couple of things..
Will my sprite backup restore all programs and settings to the new rom version?
How can I backup my existing ROM? I'm guessing the official ROM is a HSPL?

USPL and HSPL these are different method of putting new ROM to your phone.
you will find more information in here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Flash1
with this method you can get a backup of your current ROM

Thanks again. I never thought it would be so complicated. I thougth someone would have created a GUI for this stuff, its amazing what they have GUI's for these days and this is still command line.
Still unsure as to wether I can restore my sprite back up after going to 1.56 rom though. With the amount I have installed its probably not worth the effort for now.

Help to newb

....first install HardSLP!
....second:
Radio Rom: resposible for gsm signal, wifi...
...third:
Cooked Roms:
Our Chiefs are always cooking roms with the newest applications and share them to us.
In the benchmark you can see which rom is the fastest. But I woud suggest you just try them out!
Are you 100 % sure that as a newbie you really need to flash new rom first? Why not to get to know your device a bit before making any changes?

i have the standart ROM, Did not flash it ! ( NO HARD-SPL OR W/E IT MEANS )
If i have to Flash it ( HARD-SPL ) Please help me with it, Even with the tutorial i can't do it on my own.
im so afraid right now!
//edit3
i've turned off HTC Sense, and turned on the normal WM GUI, Very simple but works without problems, so i think that i'ts the Sense that isn't working correct..
Maybe there's a way to sort things out on your phone right now, but I think it would be a lot simpler if you flashed a ROM that already had Sense 2.5 and Cookie baked into it. There are plenty of ROMs here that should do that for you, though of course you would need HardSPL first.
The sticky postings about HardSPL and how to flash ROMs are very detailed and explain things well. But if you have further questions on those then you can ask in those threads.
Someone else might come along and tell you how you can fix your Sense 2.5 right now, but that's beyone what I can do myself.
Thank you for your post, i will upgrade my phone to 2.5 with the ROM from HTC.com
Because i have a unlocked phone i can just download this, lol..
after that i might HardSPL.
thanks!

That doesn't have anything to do with whether your phone is unlocked though, you may well find it doesn't work (saying "invalid vendor id", or similar).
The official HTC ROMs will only work on HTC-branded phones for that specific area/region, unless you have HardSPL.
I live in Europe,
I will download the official HTC Rom for Europe Users,
After fixed, i will try to HARDSPL.
what does it means actually?
spl
im no pro but flashing hardspl will allow "unsigned" roms to be flashed. this means roms from htc and "cooked" roms will work on you're phone.
awsome, didn't know that.!

Original HTC TouchPRO2 ROM

Hey guys, where could I find the latest ROM version for HTC TouchPRO 2 (Rhodium 300) shipped from HTC? I have a Tilt2 from AT&T, is it posible to run this ROM in this phone?
Thanks in advance ...
There are threads on official ROMs here, as well as the "cooked" ROMs. Also check the Wiki, at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/Shipped_Roms
If you install HardSPL, then you can install other official GSM ROMs as well as those official ones specifically designed for your model/carrier/branding.

If he's got a Tilt2, then I don't think the official HTC site will let him download an official HTC ROM, because those are designed for HTC-branded phones.
you can download it here http://www.htc.com/sea/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=250&act=sd&cat=all it will ask for your serial # to download.
There is a problem ...
The problem is that my phone serial number doesn't let me download the ROM, I'm not sure if it's possible to run a ROM from a HTC branded Rhodium 300 on a AT&T Tilt 2, even though they're the same device, and where can I download the ROM without a serial number, because I've been reading the Wiki and there is no post for that device (RHOD300).
Thanks you guys for your answers.

If you have HardSPL, then *any* official *GSM* ROM will work on your device (though you may need to install a cab to map the keyboard). So RHOD100/200/300 ROMs will all work on the Tilt 2. There are links to places to get official ROMs on this forum, try a search.
Did the RHOD100 ROM work for you?
I haven't tried ...
I've been around the Wiki but there's no RHOD300 ROM, and I don't want to try the RHOD100 one because is not the same device, time ago I had trouble doing that with my Kaiser, if anyone knows about a link to a RHOD300 ROM (HTC) it would be much appreciated.
I heard something about an update from Verizon for TouchPRO2 users, hopefully there's one from AT&T in his way ...

Don't count on ATT doing any update. You can run any gsm rhodium rom as long as you have hard spl.

That's what i'm talking about, i'm gonna give it a try ... thanks bro!!!

Just to let you know (and anyone else who is interested), I flashed the RHOD100 ROM on my AT&T branded Tilt 2, and it works perfectly. You can download the ROM here: http://rapidshare.com/files/2924648...Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.17_Signed_Ship.exe.html
It's the OEM unbranded Touch Pro 2 ROM, like I said, no problems what-so-ever with my Tilt 2, I've been using it for a good 2 days now. I wanted the exact same thing you did, and trust me, I'm happy with it! Good luck
hi
im in the same boat as you. do u need to install cab to re-map the at&t keyboard?

Yes, if you flash a generic HTC ROM, then you will need a cab to map your non-generic (i.e. AT&T) keyboard.

In your opinion, between the three types of ROM, which one is more stable? Which one is better? I'm using the Sense 2.1 and it has a couple of bugs with the music tab, and some other that i don't remember right now, but i want to know what to use in order to avoid this little bugs.
To be honest, they all suck. But if you work on them with brain, all of them can be great. I suggest that you start with the Rhodium S.
Thanks for the advice ...
Yesterday I flashed the Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91 ROM on my phone and i'm lovin' it, it was a good choice, the new Sense 2.5 has some improvements that make the Tilt2 an awesome phone, that's what i think ...
sorry to dig up an old thread, I have a stock tilt 2 (at&t) that has not had the hard spl done to it and wanted to know if I use Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.4 9.25.91 would I have to hardspl it or no because its an htc release?
