Hi All
I wonder if anyone can give me some advice.
I’ve recently bought a T-mobile MDA here in Shanghai – I guess it’s come from Germany as all the accompanying packaging and brochures are in German. The guy in the shop has kindly installed an English ROM – branded with O2. I’d prefer to not have the O2 branding but will live with it if it remains stable.
Following are installed:
IPL 1.05
SPL 1.05
GSM 01.09.10
OS 1.5.4.2
I guess the question I need to know is, is it worth it to update to a more stable ROM?
I’m not looking at tweaking the machine extensively but it would be nice to have a more stable machine – I have experienced it crashing a few times and wonder if I would be best to install a new ROM to make it more stable?
I don’t want to install extensive programs and tweaks – as soon as I can get a stable machine I would like to keep adjustments to the minimum.
The machine also has a demo version of CE Star installed which I suppose I would lose if I install a new ROM? I can download this from the net anyway so not a problem. I need all the Chinese support so I can send texts etc in Chinese. I also have a piece of software called plecodict installed which is a Chinese language dictionary.
I’ll use the machine mainly for making phone calls, Chinese language learning with plecodict and listening to mp3’s along with the occasional snap.
Is it worth upgrading for a more stable machine? Any recommendations?
Also, I want to know, if I do a hard reset will it go back to the factory setting with the German ROM? Or will it reset back to the English 1.5.4.2 as detailed above?
Many thanks in advance
IMHO, You have the best rom. To make it faster and more stable just remove O2Active,- do the HardReset, and miss the customizing (SoftReset device in the very beginning of customization). Then you can install any programms you want from Extended_Rom using Total Commander.
Hello !
I am completely lost with the number of ROMs available. I want to flash my Kaiser with the newest most stable ROM, which one should I choose ? (a cooked, a original)
Thanks, Chris
Hi Guys,
Im new to the forum.
I have just purchased the HTC HD... I'm in South Africa... We get stuff very late here.
I would like to update my Rom and Radio but not sure which on to choose.
Currently:
Rom: 1.14.421.5 (25590) WWE
Rom date: 12/10/2008
Radio: 1.09.25.14
Protocol: 52.49a.25.26W
And my serial number has GK... So which region does it belong to...
Thanks in Advance
I have a feeling this might get locked/deleted, as I don't think they like people comparing the ROMs as a lot is down to personal choice. For me I wanted a nice fluid, fast ROM and I've settled with Davideuck V2 after trying many. Very nice.
Radio ROM's I'm just testing, as far as battery life. I can't say I tell much difference between the 3 current offers though...
Thanks for the reply....
I'm not asking people to compare ROMS I'm asking if I can download any Rom and any Radio version or are they specific for a country like on the HTC site.
once you have hard SPLed the device you can do what ever you want with it, which includes RADIO and ROMs, what you choose is your choice and since we cant give you advice on ROMS so as not to offend any cooks feelings we cant give you any help in choosing which one is best for you, however i have been using Duttys 1.7 to 2.1 for quite a while and felt rthem wonderful ROMs, 2.2 im running now is somewhat buggy but with a bit of work it looks very promising and will be running on my device in the future.
oh if your device is SIM locked you will need to change that too if you want to use a different carrier.
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.

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
James

yes you will lose all programs, have to be installed again
if you take backup from your current ROM you can restore it later

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?
Thanks

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.
Hi.
I have a HTC Touch Viva and I want to unlock it and use win mobile 6.5 on it; but before that I want to make a full backup of my official ROM. Please let me know how I can make a backup of my ROM.

ROM version: 1.35.720.2 WWE
ROM date: 11/12/08
Radio version: 03.37.90

hi
i'm not sure it's possible
because if u use the stovk rom's file, then u'll make a cooked rom
there is no way friend
Hi guy,
I dont make sure can we backup original ROM which can be use in cracked opal. But i know you can use SKTools to back up your current Phone settings. If you want back to previous rom, you can flash your current ROM and restore the settings.
