[Touch GSM ROM Development] happian:
can't flash the rom

I followed the instruction in "Instructions on how to Update ROM.txt", Step 1/2 and 2/3 passed successfully, but after the ROMUpdateUtility.exe started, it gave an "invalid vender id" error. I tried over 5 times on different computers(all running WinXP SP2), and each time, it gave the same message. So I studied the start.bat and found this cmd:

ren Blue_Touch_OS_1921_Build 18521.0.7.0_Big_Stor_58.4Mb_V3.01.nbh Blue_Touch_OS_1921_Build 18521.0.7.0_Big_Stor_58.4Mb_V3.01.n

I went into the directory and executed the cmd manually, but the system prompted: "The syntax of the command is incorrect." It seems that the cmd should be like this:

ren "Blue_Touch_OS_1921_Build 18521.0.7.0_Big_Stor_58.4Mb_V3.01.nbh" "Blue_Touch_OS_1921_Build 18521.0.7.0_Big_Stor_58.4Mb_V3.01.n".

ruu.bat in the RUU directory has the same problem.

How can you guys successfully flash the ROM with the errors in the batch files?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bbsc:
happian, belive, the syntax is OK, you have another problem.

Try to make search by "vendor" keyword in this thread.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jlpk007:
just flashed this rom....so far so good...still testing...the free space is awesome.......

i miss the htc x task though...any way to get it back?thanks....(too many things running in the background)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Zero 360:
i previously used wm5torage on my touch with no problem, this rom says that i can't enter mass storage mode possibly because another program is accessing the storage card, even after a soft reset???
[Touch GSM ROM Development] orouborus:
excellent rom swiftblade!! its really fast and stable so far, i just have some questions:

1) how can i remove the battery application with the rom? because i want to use task manager. when i installed it, the battery icon overlaps with the task manager.

2) when i try to update the splash scree, it says invalid vendor is. i tried installing enablerapi and cert but nothing happened..

thanks and more power! :D

by the way, i still CANT play videos or pictures unless i copy paste them to the main memory and i dont like that. is there anyway for mo to tun videos and pics from the sd? thanks again!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
There is nothing wrong. The 27Mb memory occurred during initial start up only. I too wish to I have that kind of memory all the time...:D

You can use QuickMenu to set it to default keyboard. If not you can use other apps like SIPChange to set it as default.

You can use the task manager build in Quick Menu. If you prefer HTC X button then you can install one in your device.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bbsc:
Well, now you see ;)

Don't know "why", but I think that for some reason Swiftblade wanted only one *.nbh file in the folder.

In any way it works, doesn't it? :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jlpk007:
after flashing..i cant install nogprs anymore...i get an error message when opening the application
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey happian... it is not useless steps but absolutely necessary steps as bbsc had pointed out that I wanted only one and the correct *nbh file in the folder.

This is because ROMUpdateUtility.exe picks up any file with .NBH extension when it is executed. In the 1st instance, I only wanted to do a USPL CID unlock and later part I wanted it to carry out the ROM update. The steps are also necessary to set back the files ready for the next flash when it is needed.

happian... you problem lies with your "vendor ID" which in most instances are related to SIM locked device. Thousands have flashed my roms starting from v1.20 using those batch files successfully without any doubts.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey bbsc, the smart dialling feature is working in the rom. You problem is that you can't read your contacts from SIM card because you very likely "HIDE' it accidentally when you used the Advanced Configuration Tool.

Quite a simple fix though:

Go Start-->Program-->Accessories-->Advanced Configuration Tool-->Phone Tab-->Enable "Show SIM Contacts-->Click "Done".

It will go into a restart and you will see your SIm contacts now. Cheers...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey Jason... you are likely to have a poor USB connection. Try reset your computer and device and repeat the process again.. Good Luck!

I have installed the NOGRPS apps on my device without problem. Have you run the network wizard and installed the phonesettings.CAB?

Which rom version are you using? It's not working in V2.10 but is working fine with v3.01.

Question 1: Remove the "QuickMenu.lnk" from the "Windows\Startup" directory and the battery icon will disappear.

Question 2: You need to do a USPL CID unlock first before you do a splash screen update similar to a rom update.

Question 3: You can use the TouchSettings which is included in the Rom V3.01 to configure Cube Video Launcher to run with whichever program and from whatever directory.. Have a nice time viewing your videos on your Elf!

GPRS issue

Hi again,

yup...tried it on 1..tried it on 0..tried it on 2....nothing works!

Also funny: if I use the original ROM (= 1.17...) = no problem at all!

On the Tytn II 9as mentioned) = no problem!

Any ideas?

This is really very very frustrating...

Cheers!:eek:
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Haha somchai, look like you have to go back to your 1.17 rom then... :) This is beyond me now. I have run out of ideas.....:(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] StreetBiker:
:confused: This works fine by me. I enter some digits and my contact name is on the screen. I can also change the dialed number :confused:

ok... i have a question about number 3, i dont get it! :D

i use the htc albuma as the application, but the parameter says,-mode:picture-type:image... i dont know how to replace it to use pics and vids from the sd... im really sory about this but as of now your rom is one of the best and its a keeper. :D

btw, is the cab file for the new keypad and keyboard ok?

thanks again and more power!! :cool:

To made it read pics and vids in your SD, change the parameters to the directory where you store the pics and vids files, e.g. "\Storage Card\My Videos"

The cab for Touch keyboard and keypad works fine but have some know bugs inherent to the apps for example keyboard refuse to open in not editable screens such as Program and some others. It also have a heavy memory payload. The choice is yours really. Cheers
[Touch GSM ROM Development] orouborus:
i tried renaming it and using \Storage Card\My Pictures and \Storage Card\Movies, but when i try to access them through the cube it says, "unable to open this type of "JPEG" file. this happens for both pics and vids. am i doing something wrong? :( and when i access videos, it goes to the pics also and not the videos that i saved in the main memory.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] voddie:
Hi Swiftblade, can i suggest something? In the middle of figuring out what else do i need to do in order to get v.3.01 to weork flawlessly (solution to fix reported minor bugs), i have to go through each page of this thread. Is it possible to put some notes at the first page so that those who download the rom know that there are some minor adjustment required to get the rom to work properly, eg. install fix cab, etc. Or else, i believe there is gonna be lots of repeating post asking for solutions to the reported issue.

Just my 2 cents. ;)

Again, excellent work. Thanks for everything
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Seed123:
I was wondering where I could get the cab for the Phonepad that came in version 1 of your ROM? Can't find that exact version of the phonepad anywhere.

Also, in the new SMS window, there are both vertical and horizontal scrolling bars even when I havent typed anything. This wasn't so in version 1. Any way to "fix" this?

EDIT: this isnt a problem with ur ROM i guess since when using the default keyboard the bars arent there.. only with the phonepad i've got installed..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey voddie... thanks for your suggestion. I will look into that but I need to find some space for that.... (looking... looiking)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] DreamsinCali:
V2.01

You can try to download the file from where I can host files that I save.

I will post the link in the next reply. I am not taking any credit for anything, but this should help at least one poor soul. Let me know.

Also, I have been voyeuring long enough, well long enough to read everything to see what I have and don't have. :rolleyes: Love this version Swiftblade works great and is very fast! I have a couple of questions.

1. If I use the HTC cab file to fix the favorites problem, and just if I don't like it, and I uninstall this new one, does my previous version revert back or do I need to reinstall. If so where do I find the one that goes with it? Just in case. :)

As I read things and saw some of the things that weren't working I went to my own settings and checked things out. ALL in all I consider myself pretty lucky. BUT ha ha knew there had to be one of those huh :cool:

2. Previous thread talked about WM5torage. It is not working for me either. Have been reading a while, but don't see where anyone has said anything else. Any fixes on that yet?

Thanks in advance..... Great update..thxs ever so much.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey seed123... this is for you only since you asked for it.. hehe:D .

Download from the link HERE.

I thought no one is interested with that Touch PhonePad anymore with all the hype on the Touch Dual Keyboard + Keypad. BTW it's still my favourite phonepad maybe because habits diehard...:D Cheers.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] MSTRKRFT:
But how can i fix this bug with scroll ? Can you post your

HKLM/software/OEM/TFLOSettings

Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Seed123:
Cheers.. I tried all the other SIP's but still prefer this 1 :D

btw for those complaining about WM5torage, it's working fine for me :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] DreamsinCali:
V2.10

Ok here it is for best results use IExplorer. Hope it helps. When you open it let me know if you need more directions. :eek:

BTW let me disclaim again. I did not make this or alter this in anyway, this is the original from a previous thread.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] cybertech:
Like to know where should I place the ringtone sound file (is wma format)?

I put them in My Document, My Ringtone and even to Windows, but

under "Sounds & Notifications" Ring type: I only see the default 4 ringtone

type, the one I copied did not show up.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Seed123:
I don't think it supports WMA ringtones. Convert it to MP3.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wongh_hk:
Swiftblade ...

I had the same error message prompt as well, but the rom before V3.01 is also from your previous rom and I did not get the same message and those rom flashing is clear and without any complication at all. Although message generate during step 3, the process continue and RUU run normally and seems that the rom is update to the phone and it is functioning. I think it had not cause any problem....

:p
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wongh_hk:
Dear Swiftblade ..

I had not relocate any files to SD manually and the SD card had not been remove every since I put it in. And I had follow your instruction to look for Storage Card 2 directory and there is no such directory.

Thanks ....
[Touch GSM ROM Development] yenicherry:
Well this thing looks great but to me the original one was better so anybody know how to go back to original HTC Touch screen/rom well usual stuff??
[Touch GSM ROM Development] happian:
But the key problem is: the "ren" cmd is wrong! Look at the start.bat:

@echo off

cd RUU

ren ELF_USPL_v1.n ELF_USPL_v1.nbh

ren Blue_Touch_OS_1921_Build 18521.0.7.0_Big_Stor_58.4Mb_V3.01.nbh Blue_Touch_OS_1921_Build 18521.0.7.0_Big_Stor_58.4Mb_V3.01.n

cd ..

elf-uspl.exe

Pay attention to the line that is maked as bold. There are two spaces in the file name "Blue_Touch_OS_1921_Build 18521.0.7.0_Big_Stor_58.4Mb_V3.01.nbh" and "Blue_Touch_OS_1921_Build 18521.0.7.0_Big_Stor_58.4Mb_V3.01.n", so the "ren" DOS command will consider that there are 4 parameters instead of 2!

So, the "ren" cmd is definitely wrong!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey DreamsinCali.. I think you are mistaken. I not looking for a mirror when I said "I am looking for some space". I am referring to some space for putting up my fixes to the minor bugs in the rom. Thank for the offer anyway. Cheers

Hey cybertech...just copy the ringtones files to the Windows directory and it should work. wma files work fine...

Hey yenicherry... I believe you are looking in the wrong places. Try the HTC members' website.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vippie:
Nice job Swiftblade! I really like the speed of this rom. What's the name of the battery plugin in the right top corner?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey vippie.. it belongs to the QuickMenu apps. Cheers
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bowjol:
Just install Ver.3.01, previously using Touch Dual 2.52.

I like this ROM very much, faster speed than Touch Dual 2.52.

BTW Touch Dual 2.52 is a good ROM too.:)

Try yourself both.:D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tcs80:
Would like to know whether HTC Touch Dual Contacts is included in this ROM?

Also, since i am on shared IP, always unable to download from those sites, is it possible to get it from another source? Thanks!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] daverage:
Hey there.

Think I have found a bug. If i try to calibrate the screen, the phone just hangs!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mikkelnl:
Weird, it works fine on my device!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Pharaohnough:
Switchblade,

Your ROM was the last working one I had on my Touch just before it decided to act up and stay in "smart IMmobility" mode but I have to say that I used it for a few hours before my phone went on the fritz and I absolutely loved the ROM. Not only is it full featured but also very VERY fast and responsive. Great job- very nicely cooked and I'm sure the image underlying the ROM is a very clean one.

Cheers!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] faisals:
Hi,

1. Just curious, where is the Touch OEM HTC Home_2.1.1005722.0s with Tab-Setting in this rom.

2. Touch task manager was much better with x button.

Otherwise its a great rom.

Thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] DreamsinCali:
Hey Swiftblade sorry for the misunderstanding, I was sending that version of Rom for the poor soul who couldn't get it from the rapid share etc.

However, did want to know if you found anyone else with problem with the WM5torage because mine doesn't work either.

If I download the HTC so that the favorites work, if I don't like and I uninstall, how do I get back the version you had with the 3.01?

And lastly.... new ? :D on the start... how do I get rid of that annoying recent programs opened?

This is still a great program, I also have an IPAQ 6315 with the new ROM) but it doesn't fit in my pocket when I need to go to spooky places and need to carry a phone. :eek: I am loving the HTC so much and the new ROM that I am almost converted over. :) thxs again!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] XzaniX:
I was using your previous version (2.10) and just flashed now to the latest 3.01 and on the first post you state Arcsoft MMS 4.1 (New) BUT I habe v4.0.20.34 and the problem is that it doesn't work well :-( I don't have the smileys on this ROM (was fine on 2.10) and sometimes I cannot browse the pictures I would like to add to a MMs message, just get a clean empty browsing window... strange. Any advice/Clue? What about MMS v4.1? Thanks for your great work!!!

Two Questions:

1. Battery drain is much higher in this ROM is much higher as compared to the original HTC ROM my phone came with although the usage is mopre or less the same

2. Is there any way to get the clock which came with the original HTC ROM (The one which seemed like an LCD display clock) on the Today screen?

[Touch GSM ROM Development] happian:
Swiftblade, I tried again for no less than 10 times yesterday, and still have the "invalid vender id" error. Since start.bat doesn't work for my touch, here's what I did:

attempt 1) Use pof's ELF_USPL to do CID unlock by myself, and run ROMUpdateUtility.exe directly in your RUU dir.

attempt 2) Use pof's ELF_USPL to do CID unlock, press CTRL+C after step 2/3 is successful, (now the touch's screen is white and blank), then run ROMUpdateUtility.exe directly in your RUU dir (ELF_USPL_v1.n and Blue_Touch_OS_1921_Build 18521.0.7.0_Big_Stor_58.4Mb_V3.01.nbh both have correct names).

I have flashed my touch no less than 20 times before, all other customed ROMs can be flashed without problem.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
happian.. DO NOT PRESS CTRL-C after Step 2/3... Just leave it there and proceed to RUU directory and activate ROmUpdateUtility.exe. Hope it works out for you..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bbsc:
Hmm, it seems you don't understand me or simply kidding.

YES, the feature works.

But try this: press the green key (phone), then "menu" then "smart dialing options".

Can you see the options screen? As for me - I can not :(.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jlpk007:
yes i notice that to..anyone else....?

swiftblade...is there any thing i can turn off...this rom can hardly last 1 day.....:(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Sorry guys, was very busy and wasn't able to answer some of your queries and questions. Anyway I have just loaded up Blue Touch Rom V3.02 which fixes some of the minor bugs in v3.01. Also put back HTC Task Manager 1.51 and StartClean. Auto-startup of Quick Menu is removed. Now you activate the apps only when you wanted to.

Cheers, Swiftblade

p.s. Wow! 985 downloads on this V3.01 rom and the questions are just overwhelming. :)

Thanks for the support!

Let me slowly answer some of the questions related to the rom.:D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jlpk007:
thanks...swiftblade...i will load in 3.02 tonight....really dun like quickmenu...but i love ur rom....thank you
[Touch GSM ROM Development] pctuner:
hey.. would you upload it somewhere else where everyone can access??
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Happy to do so if someone provide me a file-sharing site.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] akmurthi:
Hi,

Can anyone tell me how to improve on the battery life in this ROM (battery lasts for hardly a day without recharging)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
I don't experience a drop in battery life with this rom. It is a possiblilty that you are using more and trying out various apps with installation of the new rom which drain the battery. Monitor it for a few days when you go back to your normal usage and pattern and see.. Cheers.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] bbsc:
3.02 has the same bug: smart dialing options cannot be set up.

Try this: press the green key (phone), then "menu" then "smart dialing options".

No options screen.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Seed123:
Just flashed 3.02. Does anyone notice something funny during startup? First of all something runs which I cant figure out. After the today screen has loaded etc, once again I can see a cross in the top right corner as though an app is running. Then sometimes after a soft reset its as though the call history page is open (The call history page soft buttons are seen) .. I'll post a screenshot when I soft reset next.. Will check out the ROM more now.. It's fast though

EDIT: Also, why are there always 2 scrolling bars (vertical and horizontal) in the new SMS page? Any idea how I can get rid of this? I find it pretty annoying.

Here's a screenshot of the SMS page..

I've flashed all your ROM's and I still think version 1 was the best.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey bbsc... I just uploaded a version with the smartdialling options working... sorry to misunderstand what you were referring..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Edited: Seed123... the horizontal scroll bar is resulted form the keyboard skin
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Seed123:
But this happened when I flashed v3.01 also :S it was perfect on v1 I'll wait for a while and see..

Also, HTC Task Manager doesn't see the SMS/MMS app when its minimized :S

I think i'll flash version 1 of your ROM again, I was happiest with it :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jlpk007:
sorry..dun quite understand???i dun see this horizontal bar using the touchkeypad( original rom)...but it is present in this rom...using the same keypad..:)

thank you
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
It appears I think only on the default keyboard.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Seed123:
It's appearing when I switch to phonepad too :(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jlpk007:
it appears on default,touch keypad,hapy tapping keyboard...for me.....

thank you
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jlpk007:
actually i also encounter this problem.....will try to monitor it for a few day..

first day of flashing...the phone battery keeps dropping...when i send one sms it drops 1%...then i am inputting some notes it drops 2 %.....hopefully 3.02 will solve it for me...

Thanks for the wonderful rom...keep it swiftblade.:)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] happian:
Of course I had tried to followe your instruction (for at least 10 times), but it didn't work. Notice that it's my second type of attemption. I have tried:

*) click start.bat and follow the instruction, and step 1/3 and 2/3 is successful, RomUpdateUtility.exe started but gave "INVALID VENDER ID" error.

*) CID unlock manually using pof's ELF_USPL, and run RomUpdateUtility.exe in your RUU dir.

*) press CTRL+C after step 2/3, and run RomUpdateUtility.exe in your RUU dir.

all the attemps get the same error: "INVALID VENDER ID". why? I have flashed other ROMs many many times and all succeed. Don't say that I don't know how to flash a ROM.
