Hi
I flashed NODO using http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=988672
But wasn't Happy with the key board being USA and I dont really Use Compy/paste
so decided to go back to O2 Rom and flashed this ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=957031 by schubert
The file got kicked off by Norton and I had to recover it from Quarantine.
Anyways the point I would Like to make is:
even though I have pre NODO again now . NOT once have my apps crashed like before or I had the need to reboot my phone like before and phones feels fast and ringtones sounds improved as it was when in NODO.
Has anyone tried going from NODO to pre NODO ?
would like to know your comments ( only people have unoffcial NODO update and gone back might be able to comment I guess)
I am so happy that I dont really care when the official NODO is out now
Not sure how buggy it is, but it is much older than the one you installed.
[ROM]RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.19.206.01_Radio_5.51.09.06a_2 2.30.50.09_Signed
[ROM]RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.68.206.03_Radio_5.63.09.13_3a _22.36.50.15_Signed
Quite a big difference in versions, so I'd imagine the firmware is less buggy. The operating system is the same version (7004 or 7008, if you updated via Zune) but obviously the OS communicated to the marketplace via the Radio. So perhaps the updated radio improves things.
New radio driver's usually giver better battery life, too.
EDIT: I too unbranded to the HTC_Europe firmware, but like you, the lack of a UK Keyboard irritated me, but no where near as much as the US voice that you get when doing voice searching.
I've been looking into whether or not i can transfer over the keyboard and voice files to the HTC_Europe ROM. I've a developer account with MS, so I can freely prowl the registry and file system and I have found the registry files pertaining to the UK voice (Microsoft Hazel, it's called) and what I believe to be the speech file itself. No luck on the Keyboard, however.
Not that the O2 firmware annoys me much. In fact, with a registry tweak to remove Yahoo Search in IE and removing mologo.bmp in the Windows folder you can't tell it's an operator ROM. It would just be nice to get updates as soon as they're released
Well from my experience my HD7 was shipped with ROM:RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.19.206.01_Radio_5.51.09.06a_2 2.30.50.09_Signed This ROM was seriously buggy, had many issues i.e. frequent marketplace crash, random reboot etc...!!
So I decided to flash a stock HTC ROM: RUU_Schubert_HTC_Europe_1.69.401.01_Radio_5.54.09. 21_22.33b.50.10_Signed
which already had NoDo OS 7389, this ROM was much better more stable however like you guys, the lack of a UK Keyboard irritated me!
Therefore I reverted to back to a newer O2 ROM: RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.68.206.03_Radio_5.63.09.13_3a _22.36.50.15_Signed which I was pleased to say was very stable and fast, then all I did was forced NoDo OS 7390 update via zune keep bare in mind prior to doing that I chevron unlocked it so that it stays unlocked even after the update!
I personally Can't seem to force the update via Zune... on my HTC HD7 on O2 UK, so I have kinda given up as I aint too keen on the update much as my Phone is quiet stable now
Yeah and I do have the newer radio as well ...
And I feel if MS keeps coming with the updates WP7 will rock..
cause from nokia symbian I became an Android Fan , but now am leaning more towards WP7
Sorry, i am a bit new to wp7 stuff,
-How to flash the rom with the new radio ?
-Should i make any backup, i keep my hd7 on sync with Zune, it will restore everything after i flash the new rom, right ?
right now i am on radio 5.51.09.06a_22.30.50.09U
Firmware : 2250.09.11901.206
thanks in advance,
EDIT: ok, done a little search, flashed the rom and now updating it.

after searching through Google and MoDaCo, I've come to the conclusion that the latest ROM for the Vario is 1.6.2.4 (WWE)
As far as I understand, there was supposed to be another update but it's been pushed to July.
This update is the AKU2 update (I dont know what it means)
Some said that installing the iMate K-Jam AKU2 onto the Vario will work, but will remove all T-Mobile apps and settings.
Is this true?
If so where can I get the apps and settings back as T-Mobile's website is a blank.
Now if all is well, where do I get this latest ROM?
Should I take any precautions?
What will I gain and lose system wise?
Finally, does anyone know where I can unlock the device.
Sorry for the truck load of questions.
Just want the best since I just got my vario and it seems pretty sluggish. A person from esato said that AKU2 would fix that.
What is the best ROM to install onto my T-Mobile (recommended)
(also, if the rom isn't like a regular executable, how would I install it?)
Kind regards!
Go to the Wizard forum and read the lokiwiz thread for unlocking - essential if you want to run different ROMs
A search on TMobile settings will bring up many posts but it's going to vary according to whether you use TZones or the unlimited internet access.
Apart from the internet access and, maybe, MMS I'm not sure what other TMobile stuff anyone would want.
I run the latest QTEK ROM and can recommend it for speed, stability etc etc and configuring MMS and Internet is no issue.
thank you very much for your prompt reply.
I did spot Loki and unlocked my phone, however I assume you mean CID Unlock am I correct?
What I was referring to when mentioning losing anything was any apps.
I am unsure if there is anything that T-Mobile Provides that I will need.
Is there any program that can back up the whole phone for free?
(that way I can back up settings and apps, upgrade the rom and then restore everything)
you recommended the Qtek rom because it's the latest, there were a few roms which said "Latest" but were not, just so that I do not make an error could you link me to the correct thread?
As I'm sure you understand, I'm worried that I might do something stupid and end up with a brand new brick.
edit:
I just purchased SPB Backup.
I'm hoping that'll be enough.
edit2:
I noticed in a thread below my thread that the latest Qtek rom causes some battery miscalculation and a drain for some. Is this still the case, is that the latest rom?
Can you link me to the appropriate rom?
Sadly it seems the battery meter is moved to the top.
Is it recommended that I wait for the T-Mobile Rom to be released?
What am I missing out on, besides better speed (since mine lags like nuts)
I'm sorry again for the questions. Perhaps my thread can be a sticky for beginners?
Kind regards, and thanks again.
Kei
edit3:
lol this is the first time this has happened (I recentley unlocked the phone and did a backup) but it just soft reset on it's own...
Is this common?
Wow, lot of information.
Latest QTEK ROM is the 186504-ruu_9100_2170702_21707102_20710_qtek_wwe_ship.exe
You need to CID unlock to install ROM's from other vendors.
There should not be any downside to the process though I'll qualify that when dealing with technology anything can happen. Read the lokiwiz thread in full and you'll see most of the good and occassional problem.
Not having ever used a TMo ROM I don't know what they bundle in there. However, I use TMo service with the QTEK ROM and have no issues - just had to cingure the GPRS for internet and the MMS settings.
No idea what the soft reset could be I'm afraid.
would you (or anybody)
be able to confirm battery problems after installing the latest Qtek rom?
(Or battery miscalculations)
I've downloaded a file called RUU_Prodigy_2170702_21707102_20710_QTEK_WWE_Ship.exe
I'm assuming thats the right one.
Does anyone know how to get the battery icon at the bottom and the clock at the top AFTER installing the Qtek rom?
Although people say the rom is more stable (wont reset so much)
I still don't know what I'll be gaining. Of course if it'll double to speed then it'll make it much worth it, because the K-Jam is sllooooow.
well it's been a while but I just wanted to confirm that the battery is indeed inaccurate.
I haven't found a way to move the battery icon and clock around.
Is the rom I mentioned still the latest and best?
Can someone link me to the latest and/or best (EVEN if it is the same ROM)
Sorry, but i am a newbie i just got my MDA, it sometimes freeze up on me, so i talk to a friend he said try upgrading the firmware, so i wanted to upgrade the firmware just dont know which one cause there's so many...i wanted Tmobile USA, with all of the Tmobile programs such as MMS, Tzone, Email basic program from Tmoile...thanks alot- looking for something more stable, maybe faster WIFI, bluetooth those good stuff any recommandation would be great..and another question when i TRY to flash the fireware will i lose all of the data or program like the spb, theme and whether program thanks again sorry for all the question but i know you guys can help
I am using Rom- 1.8.10.2.WWE
ROM DATE-12/10/05
Radio Version-01.09.10
Protocal version-4.0.13.20
Extrom version 1.8.10.104
Not trying to be rude, but you really need to spend a week or two reading the threads in the "Wizard Upgrading" forum before you even thinking of flashing your Rom.
FYI firmware is for cellphones, Roms are for Windows Mobile Devices.
As to which Rom to use, that depends what you're looking for.
You can go for the latest, the most stable, or one that supports a specific feature. Again this is somethign you really need to read-up on. If you are looking for a specific feature use http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php .
Honestly, you will gain speed and stability with any 2.x Rom.
To use one of the custom Roms you will need to CID unlock your device (search for it) first.
For your first flash you might just want to stick to an official Rom.
First, don't even think of attempting a CID unlock until you figure out if you have a G4 chip or not, unless you want to turn your MDA into a brick. There are other articles on the unlocking forums, as well as the Wizard forums that go into this in detail.
Until this is ironed out, I'd consider paying $40 to the guys at www.imei-check.co.uk. I've not heard any bad press about these guys, so if you want a SIM/CID unlock, go here.
If its freezing up on you, I'd consider backing your stuff on it, doing a hard reset, and restoring it. Make sure you have the data backed up (if ActiveSync doesn't have it, there are other backup utilities which can work well for your MDA you can purchase.) If you are getting freezes with just the factory installed stuff on it, you may have a hardware issue.
Lastly, quite a number of things can be enhanced/fixed without a ROM reflash, so unless T-Mobile USA comes out with new downloadable ROMs, I'd not worry about a reflash just yet.

Sorry for butting in
Well i have this wiza200 tmobile MDA and would also like to Flash it because of speed and performance enhancement my question is when i flash a new rom will it make my phone again sim lock? because right now its already sim unlocked
my wizard came in with the stock rom any enlightenment will be greatly appreciated
Thanks
I want to try out some different roms out there, I have a friend who uses the phone for pictures, sms, and email, and calls of course. So she really doesn't need all the bells and whistles, but Touch-Flo is always a nice addition.
The default T-Mo rom is so overkill, and the phone runs slow as hell. I'm looking to find a rom that gives the best preformance. I don't know if that would be the best option with the roms I've found my doing some backdating. I figured maybe someone out there has an idea how to get the best usage for the phone.
In this forum there are 2 great roms. One by PDAviet and one called Touch_It. I would get the file called RUU-Altas and then try both of these 2 cooked roms.
You might find one suites you better than the other. The reason for the RUU file is because if you have the T-Mobile Wimg (im assuming since you are posting in the Herald section) then you will need this in case you brick your phone. Before you do anything to your phone or anyone elses phone i highly recommend you read. Might save you alot more time then trying to do a plug and play with anything on this site.
Noone of the software here is licensed through HTC or Windows so its completely test at your own risk.
Good luck
Well, so far I have one sucessful rom change on my own wing. So thats one run through.
But when you say RUU (I'm not sure what that stands for) Atlas, I see one thats t-mo. From my understanding the RUU is a rom of the original image that you get when you start the wing straight out of the box.?
RUU stands for Rom Update Utility. It is used for update your device asa a new ROM version is issued.
You need an original ROM update package in order to recover your device in case it gets bricked.
Please note that the chance of bricking a device is not that rare. I flashed my device just yesterday with an original WWE ROM (instead of ITA) and an error occurred on the first try => Bricked device!!
So I had to "unbrick" my phone with the original ITA rom before giving the WWE update another try. It worked flawlessly on the second run.
Ciao
First post after such a long time on this site but I thought it would be worth posting this. The NoDo update for the HTC HD7 from O2 is now available. Plugged into Zune this evening and there it was... I'm still in the process of updating as I type this but its finally here!!!
I can confirm this... yippee
Thank god, its like I have been waiting ages and like we are the last to get it
I used Chevron to update it yesterday - but it still has given me an update notification just now when I plugged into Zune - so must be some HD7 specific updates in it too! Battery is too dead to do it now though so it's on charge!
Confirmed; updating now. Good to know you can still get the HTC Specific updates even if you used Chevron. That's what put me off using it, but I'll use it in future!

Same here. After update it still says the same build as before (7390). Not sure, if the firmware, radio or bootloader is the same, i did not noted the previous version number...
EDITED: It looks, that Chevron update was only for OS, but the update from O2 also included HTC stuff... I just checked the version numbers from the ansars new O2 DE nodo ROM files and it seems the same...
Indeed. I previously had on:
RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_1.68.206.03_Radio_5.63.09.13_3a _22.36.50.15
Version is now 1.69.206.01_Radio_5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Firmware is newer but Radio version is less. But from what I gather from XDA, lower radio version does not mean newer? Different versions work better in different parts of the world?
I used Chevron Updater, but got the HTC Update this morning, and it has the gradient but that is described here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=12690055#post12690055
Hopefully HTC will fix it soon
Just got the NoDo update today via Zune, Unlocked HTC HD7 (O2 UK), even though I didn't receive an update notification on my phone.
At first the intended update showed an error!!!
I had to turn on the System Event Notification Service in Windows 7, it was disabled, got advice from here. (scroll down to last question on the page)
http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/...8-update/e7359219-e1d1-4d7e-81a3-149a4d78525b
I ended up going to EU unbranded just to make sure I get all the updates right away from now on. Glad 02 finally released it
Has anyone got the factory o2 mango rom for the HTC hd7? Does it enable internet sharing as i have the rtm version and does not have it. If the stock o2 rom has internet sharing is anyone able to upload and give manuals on how to flash back to o2
many thanks
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
The latest o2 Mango ROM can be found HERE
Flashed it myself a few days back and my phones been MUCH more stable, with a much better battery life and signal. I too was on unbranded Mango RTM before that.
I simply flashed that ROM straight away (download, unrar, Put phone in Bootloader, connect cable, run ROMUpdateUtility). No need to do anything else (R/HSPL, etc). Easy.
I haven't tested internet sharing but i'd advise you to flash that ROM anyway as like i said it's been a hell of a lot more stable and the Radio that's with it has massively improved my Signal and Battery life compared to whatever i was using with the Mango RTM.
You should get the update anyway if you are on RTM. If you use the above method you will wipe your device.
My wife had the RTM and she go a Firmware update pushed to her which has made her phone work flawlessly. All the HTC apps now work etc. Mine on the other hand is still waiting.....
I think it not drive missing
It does not work, because the mango version of the registry policy in htc.
We can not edit it, access restrictions!
