Can this ROM be unlocked by ELF_USPL-v1

Hi Swiftblade,

I am thinking of flashing your ROM but have a final quesiton need your confirm.

It's said that with some offcial ROM update, we may get a updated SPL revision, after that, we may can NOT use ELF_USPL-v1 to unlock the phone, and have no way to flash any un-official ROM again(only after get ELF_USPL-v2 maybe ;)).:) :cool:

So my quesiton is, is this ROM contains an updated SPL? In another word, can my phone be un-locked by ELF_USPL-v1 after flashing this ROM?:rolleyes:

Thanks,

mmxymm
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey mmxymm,

The answer is no. All my roms do not include SPL. I think most custom roms don't include SPL. So your current SPL remains after flashing the rom. And yes, you can still use ELF_USPL-v1 after flashing this rom. Cheers
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mmxymm:
Good, thanks Swiftblade.

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Scann69:
Yup....just flashed the Touch and installed the S2U2....runs great. I would recommend this for those using the Touch. Better feel compared to using S2U2 on my TyTN II :p

Overall the ROM seems fast and stable. Been using it a couple of hours. Thanx for the ROM Swiftblade
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Yes, I am using Windows Vista. No problem at all. Cheers

Error [294]: Invalid Vendor Id

Help!!! I'm getting the exact same problem as Markiraz!

I was able to update my ROM from 1.11.709.1B to 1.15.703.3B successfully earlier today, but could not update successfully to the new Blue Touch ROM.

I was able to CID Unlock successfully. But after I ran the Blue Touch 3.02 update, when flashing at 3%, I get the INVALID VENDOR ID error.

To be specific, the error shows:

ERROR [294]:INVALID VENDOR ID

And has a serial number-like list on the bottom of the error screen: DPRRH;68-EMH355670-DPRRH568-EMH3/01*

I have tried:

* taken out micro SD memory card AND SIM card

* soft reset the device

* hard reset the device

* installed Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRapi.cab onto Touch prior to running CID Unlock

Your kind help and advise is greatly appreciated.

Fixes

Swiftblade, please forgive me, but I'm about to do something that I hate to see others do :(

There have been a lot of posts since 3.02 has been released, some with issues and some fixes. I've been so busy that I haven't been able to keep up as I usually do. Is it possible for you summarise the fixes available for the problems people have encountered to date ? Or is my perception wrong and they aren't many issues at all?

Thanks for all your great work :)

batterystatus 1.04, A2DP

Swiftblade,

Your rom is super, I just have one small problem.

I use batterystatus 1.04, to easly connect to my bluetooth headset (A2DP), so I just use the tray icons.

When I want to connect to my headset, bluetooth is being diabled.

I had this problem also with V3.01, not with rom v2.01

Any Idea?

Jossie
[Touch GSM ROM Development] DreamsinCali:
Ok everything still running super.

I think you out did yourself. :D Swiftblade!

I know there are a few things peeps would like would on here, as I would, but this ROM has taken out the glitches and etc., from 3.01. So far so good and ditto on the battery status.

When I have time will look into the .gif files as I like the challenge. Alas, though still will ask ? are they gone with the ROM you think, be honest I can take it. :D ah ha

Thanks again!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] wongh_hk:
I did for many time, it is quite easy ....
[Touch GSM ROM Development] peterc_1:
I successfully flashed the rom, but I can no longer sync to mobile device center, do you have a solution for that?

Thanks!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey peterc... Do the following:

1. Go Start-->Setting-->Connections-->USB to PC-->uncheck "Enable Advanced Network Functionality"

2. Restart your computer or laptop.

3. Re-connection to USB to activesync
[Touch GSM ROM Development] silversx:
Hi swiftblade..

i just installed 3.02

i don't get 27.xx mb of free ram like in your first post.. i get about 24.xx

this is fresh boot with doing nothing to phone..

also Messaging and Comm Manager does not show up in the task list on the upper right corner even if it's running.. it does show up in Settings -> Memory

there may be other programs that not show up the same way... if i enable quick menu will it contribute to memory leak????

and can you explain what glossy black bar is??? i ran it .. it did something.. but it gives me no options or anything to turn off..

thanks for the hard work and great rom..

the unnecessary horizontal scroll bar is very annoying tho hahah :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] technobe:
Please help Swiftblade! This is my first time to flash a ROM and i followed your instructions to the letter. But my touch screen turned blank with a message that says "unable to open log file...tiny_console_init done". when activesync turned gray and the ROM update utility came on, it said to connect the unit via activesync. But i couldn't because my unit had "turned off?!?" because of the cid unlocking procedure. Please help!

edit: I just soft reset my touch and all is back to normal! I read your response from an earlier query similar to mine and now know that i shouldn't have extracted the files to another folder. Whew!!! Thought i bricked my touch! I don't know if i'll be able to get up the nerve to flash a ROM again! Thanks anyway!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
I may have misunderstood you. If all this while you are referring to some of the GIF files in the original rom, then yes I have removed them to save some memory space. You can find them in the zip file "Removed ringtones & themes" attached in the first post. Cheers
[Touch GSM ROM Development] peterc_1:
Back in action! Thank you! Great work!

[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
The 27 Mb is only at initial startup. I wish to have that much memory all the time too..:D

This is the limitation of OEM HTC Task Manager 1.51. You have to use some 3rd party task managers to resolve that issue. And no, this is not memory leaks we are referring.

Some black tsk file do not display the top and bottom bars as black as they should. so the glossy black bars is to correct that. It has no effect in other colour scheme tsk files.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey fredfox.... most of the bugs and glitches were with v3.01. These have all been resolved in V3.02.

I don't use A2DP headset so I don't really know. But for myself, I have no problem using the batterystatus tray icon to connect BT to my handfree earpiece. In fact I use it all the time.

BTW, which version are you using? Look like it's more of a 3rd party software problem. You may want to pose this question in the software developer's forum for assistance. Cheers..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] silversx:
thanks for the reply swiftblade

it seems like there are some memory leak issues with this build?? compared to bram's 2.52 rom

i soft reset.. start at about 24mb ram... run messaging.. closed it in task manager.. ran opera mini ... closed it.. checked some Settings.. closed it..

and i'm down to 20.65 with nothing running.. is this normal??

this is with no Quick Menu running..

if i run quick menu will it further contribute to the memory leak?? i do like that program.. but in previous posts you said the memory leak was due to quick menus...

thanks for the help
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
It depends on what apps you have installed and running... Batterystatus and opera mini and IE are killers.. Usually free memory will hovers around 21 - 23 mb ...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] silversx:
that's with all applications closed... opera mini was closed after browsing 2 pages.. no battery status.. never ran IE since flash...

but will monitor some more.. thanks

3% exit, show invlide vender ID

Hi Swiftblade,

whether I use your batch file or manually un-locked CID and flash your ROM, the utility always shows INVALIDE VENDER ID and the phone auto-reboots.

attahced the picuture.

Can you advice?

[Touch GSM ROM Development] akmurthi:
Hi,

1. My free memory using V3.01 stabilizes round 15MB (Free memory on startup around 20.20 MB). This is after i installed memmaid, dope wars and HHC. Quick Menu is always running. Is this normal?

2. After doing reclaim RAM, the available storage memory actually goes down .........seems am doing something wrong.......the memory was like 15.8 MB odd prior to reclaim RAM. Post the same it fell to 15.2 MB odd

3. Any method u can suggest for getting the memory up to the 25 MB range

4. I am also using MemMaid on the extreme speed setting.........can that be causing the problem?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] akmurthi:
Also, can someone kindly post a cab of the WM5storage(working) ...... dont want to flash 3.02 just for one app
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Have you installed Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRapi.cab?

It is almost impossible for me to comment on 3rd party software's perfromance and behaviours. I got to work it yourself or approach the software developer for an answer. What I can share is my personal experience if I do use them.. I am afraid I haven't use MemMaid before.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] akmurthi:
Ok.........how about HHC and Quick Menu.......your opinion on whether this is leading to my free memory being low would be appreciated.

Also it has been like 10 min since i did a soft reset......free storage memory already down to 18.8 MB. Only used the phone and did an SMS. Also removed SMS/MMS from running applications
[Touch GSM ROM Development] silversx:
if i install this htc task manager 2.0

http://www.freewareppc.com/utilities/htctaskmanager.shtml

will it replace the x-button automatically??...

it seems to have more functions such as access to the memory usage.. and maybe it will fix the problem of certain applications not showing up in x-button even though they are running in memory..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] ryusaeba:
I second to mmxymm. I have the exact same problem. I have tried applying Cert_SPCS.cab and EnableRapi.cab but still had no luck.

I was able to successfully CID unlock the unit and flash Xtriny's "Xtriny.X4S WWE Blue" ROM but was unable to successfully updat the v3.02 Blue Touch ROM. I get the INVALID VENDO ID error.

I really wanted to try your Blue Touch ROM. Thanks in advance for your help. Keep up the good work!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] fredfox_uk:
Thanks Swiftblade. Sorry to ask such a dumb question, but you've got so many responses in this thread ! :)

Hi Swiftblade, after update to v3.02 I got a problem with MIDlet Manager. Program-> MIDlet Manager->Menu-> Choose Network Type

"Error: Unable to locate string resource", so I can't chooce network. Even after a Hard reset.

It was no problem with v2.1.

Thanks!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] akmurthi:
Hi,

1. Is there any way to call from the phone pad.....don't want to use the green call button........is there any way we can have a call button on the virtual keypad itself?

2. I'm using V3.01 - can anyone post a cab which will correct WM5Storage ..........thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey linwen778...yes, indeed some minor bug with Midlet Java apps. Install the attached cab to fix it. Let me know whether it works. Cheers
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey akmurthi... To get the WM5Torage in V3.01 to work, try adding the following registry key using PHM RegEdit app and do a soft reset.

Add:

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\DebugZones]

"wm5torage"=dword:7

As to your other question of adding a call button, this is the work of a developer. Search the forum, maybe there is one out there. Cheers.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Can't help it man :( There are more than 1000+ downloads on this version and the queries are just flying in. This is worse than the HTC Customer Service Centre... HAHAHA!:D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] blasev:
yes and no

yes it will replace automatically

no the "certain application" still not showing up

[Touch GSM ROM Development] faisals:
Hi swiftblade,

I know that you are doing hradwork to get the device more and more efficient memory wise. Is there a way, ..., to decrease the storage momory and increase the program memory. I am constantly switching to check memory status which hover around 15 MB with nothing extra installed. When I use internet explorer while listening to music, memory comes to 3 MB. There is alway a concern that the memory might be low and etc.

Can there be a way to increase program memory using storage ram.

If I use a clean vanilla rom, will that help.

Please advise.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey faisals... the sad facts is no, we can't divert the storage memory (ROM) to program memory (RAM). That's the problem with Touch and thus why we are trying our best to squeeze every memory we can out of it. It is important to do some housekeeping to manage the memory well, such as closing unused apps, hibernate and even soft resets everyday..

The answer is also no, using vanilla rom won't help. It increase storage memory only. The only wise things to do is not to install today plug-ins and residing apps that are nice to see but not used. Install only apps you used and keep to the minimum.... Alternatively, you can get the Touch XL (aka Touch Enhanced, ELFin) that has 128 RAM/256 ROM, its program memory hovers around 65~80 Mb...

I am getting my HTC ELFin in two days' time...:D Cheers

Good to see it works out for you.. Cheers
[Touch GSM ROM Development] silversx:
for the java midlet.. try using this one.. the esmertec jbed midlet manager.. it's better than TAO's Intent midlet manager.. all the new HTC phones are coming with the JBed manager cuz TAO is no longer in business
[Touch GSM ROM Development] silversx:
oh no does that mean no more development for the old touch??? :D :(
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Haha... ELFin's architecure and software is very similar to Touch. In fact can flash Touch's Rom but the RAM and ROM will be like only 64/128MB. I will try to keep up the development for the old Touch if times permit me...:D Cheers...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] linwen778:
It's all right now, thank You Swiftblade :)

my touch was installed JBed too but I changed to TAO's. It was some problems with JBed. TAO's Intent midlet manager is more better than JBed, it's why most people and almost all inofficial ROMs use TAO's instead JBed.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] vippie:
I think your mistaking with older jbed versions. Just install the esmertec jbed and use opera mini fullscreen. You will never want to use Intent Midlet Manager again :D.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] falgun:
ok i am not sure if i am doing something wrong but here is my question:

A Bug

Swiftblade.

Thank you for the great ROM.

It flashed at the second attempt.

First it got stuck at stage 3/3, leaving my Touch with a permanent RUU rainbow screen and me with ä near death experience :). Fortunately I had a factory ROM which flashed my device back to life, and then I flashed yours again. Cudos for your great work.

I have managed to find one bug so far: in Programs>TouchSettings>Weather the button Change does not work, complaining "Couldn't read data from XML file \App_Path\Weather.xml" Sorry if this one has already been reported and you have gotten back with a fix.

BTW, is there any way to remove Games from the device? I do not really need them, and thought they would be the first thing to go in a customized ROM.

Many thanks again.

Regards,

Madana

Problem after 3.01 ROM upgrade ON Rogers locked GSM Phone

I have a problem

- loaded ESPL bootloader - loaded Blue ROM 3.01 posted here, all works fine

- The phone stays on for a while - while the screen is touched

- After a while when there is no activity, it goes to sleep

- it does not turn on with the power button

- I end up pushing the reset button to wake it up

This problem is consisent everytime the phone goes to sleep.

I have to load HTC OEM Rom (also from this webite - I believe the WWE Australian verion) via ESPL. once loaded everything goes back to normal - no sleep problem.

This phone is from Rogers - canada. Imakaged to SIM unlock t and alwo CID (except eh problem above with any non-OEM ROMS).

Please help.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
To save the settings, quick menu has to be loaded after the reset. If you want, copy Quick Menu.lnk from the Windows directory to \Windows\StartUp\ and the settings will stick. But the downside is it wil always be loaded and used some memory. Cheers.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey Madana,

The weathercities.xml file in TouchSettings was removed by me intentionally because it's repititive as you can already set changes in the HTC Home directly. Just sort of forget to disable it.

As for the removal of Games, some don't use them but others sweared by it. It is not true that it is the first thing chefs will remove in custom roms. In fact, almost all custom roms kept it intact. Anyway, they don't really occupy much memory space. Cheers
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Your problem is indeed strange and I must admit that I know close to nothing about phones sold by Rogers of Canada. But if it occurred with every non-OEM (i.e. custom) ROMS then I suspect either the CID unlocking wasn't totally effective or Rogers has done something to lock up the phone when it detects non-OEM roms.

Since you can successfully flash any OEM roms, the settings maybe in the SIM card or SD card. Try to remove the SIM card and SD card before flashing the custom and see whether this help. Is a long shot if you willing to try.

I hope it helps... Cheers.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] niadh0:
The sleep Problem

Thanks.

After the first time, for the second time around when flashing a custom ROM, I took the SDCARD and SIM card out of the phone. The problem continued. You are right, Rogers has done sometype of security lock.

FYIFirst time when I tried to load ESPL, it failed and non ROM got loaded. The phone would not boot pass the splash screen. Finally I tried again after loading an OEM imgge by putting the phone in bootloader mode.

Once the OEM was restored ( i lost the original rogers rom from the phone), I tried again for the second time. This time I was fine loading the ESPL and the custom ROM file. But after this, the phone would not wake up from sleep.

At this point I am looking to eithe make 3.02 work or find a Rogers-OEM-HTC-Touch Rom and flash it back to original.

Just one queston: Once restored to Rogers OEM image ROM, is SIM unlock alone good enough to use SIMs from India? I live in Canada and plan to take the hone with me to India on a short trip.

MAny Thanks,
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
If you have successfully SIM unlock, you should be able to use any SIM cards. You can try now by using other SIM cards apart from Rogers's and see whether it works. If it does than I suppose it can work with any SIMs including India's as well.

If it failed, you might want to try the free Touch Unlocking tool by Rishi in either the 1st post or 2nd post sticky to SIM unlock your device.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] niadh0:
The Sleep Problem

Thanks. Yes I then did Rishi's unlocking method. I have the unlock codes. Is there any way, I can type these unlock codes without looking for SIM from a different provider right now?

THanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] silversx:
it is loading with windows.. quickmenu the short cut is in the Startup folder.. because i selected "Auto start when system start".. yet still none of the settings i change stay after a soft reset..

does it work on yours???

edit: nevermind .. its working now.. weird.. unloaded quick menus and restarted it fresh after reset.. and now the settings stick.. thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
I am sorry but I am quite alien to this SIM unlocking stuff because maybe I am blessed with a unlocked one..:)

Try to post it in the Rishi's post and see whether someone can offer you some helps. That's what so marvellous in XDA. Cheers.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] cybertech:
Hi Swiftblade, one question to ask you not too sure you know or not -

I thinking of backing up my dictionary file for use with HTC Touchpad

before update to your rom 3.02. As I have added many new words to

that, don't really want to recall all and re-add again after the ROM flash.

Thanks.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Swiftblade:
Hey cybertech... if you are talking of transferring T9 dictionary to HTC Touch Dual keyboard/keypad then it is not possible at the moment or at least I do not know anyone has successfully done it. This is because Touch Dual KB is using xT9 dictionary instead. If it's Touchpal SIP, then thescum has successfully ported over T9 dictionary. Somewhere in this same thread he mentioned how this is done. Try to locate it or you can ask thescum how he did it over at PPCSG. Cheers..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] captkkk:
Stay with 3.01

3.01 is just fine, the largest storage so far.

For all the fixes, can download and install them seperately anyway.

However, I have to abandon QuickMenu as it does have some memory issues.

What I do is to hide the icon and not to start it up, instead, I use the BatteryStatus for my TaskManager replacement, works just well.

For the rest of the ROM, well, what more do I need?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] maassk213:
QuickMenu

I've been looking at posts about 'memory leaks' and 'battery drains' with QuickMenu. Frankly, I have not observed them - at least not the memory leaks. I've been running QuickMenu since over 2 weeks now. I keep hovering at at 20-21 MB free with normal usage and no reboots for extended periods (maybe 2 reboots in the last two weeks).

I'm almost certain that even the 'battery drain' issue is not real! I'll observe and report though.

Am I missing something here?:confused:
