Herald USPL is the tool used to flash the .nbh file. Think, USPL = Drill, .nbh = drill bit. Download them both, place the USPL folder in the root of C:\ in a folder with no spaces in it (mine's just named "herald"), then put the .nbh file inside the RUU folder. Run herald-uspl.exe and just follow your instructions.

As far as your phone being unlocked, it shouldn't get CID unlocked with this method. The USPL basically just does a temporary CID unlock long enough for your flash, then locks it again. As far as the "Hard SPL for Herald" or w/e - anything that says "May damage device" in the top of the post I avoid like the plague. I've flashed a few times just fine w/o ever doing that. And SIM unlocking - quite honestly I don't know much about this. I'm perfectly happy with TMO so I haven't had the need or desire to look into this subject, but I'm sure many other people know volumes about this.

And why should you use one or the other? Just look for the features that fit you and run with it. Hell, anything in the Herald Mobile 6 forum will be volumes better than the stock TMO rom. I personally liked the way open touch 1.0 looked, but I noticed ttran's sig said 2.0 which brought me here. Flashed, loved, and now me likey :P

HTC Plus! Topic

Copy cab to device and run like any other cab; I installed just fine to my SD card. If you have HTC Home active when you install HTC Plus it will chew up your whole screen. Just go into your Settings > Personal > Today screen and disable HTC Home.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Crazy1031:
thanks It is a memory saver but kind of weak but it gets the job done
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] aron4588:
i recook mines and remove touch dual keyboard
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Crazy1031:
wat do you mean? :confused:
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] aron4588:
i edited his rom and removed the app that i figure was making the keyboard based on wat ivan said and it work now. He was using this keyboard it in the oem folder if you dump it and rebuild it
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Crazy1031:
can I get that from u?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] aron4588:
i will upload it in about 30min to my site so stay posted i currently working on porting tmobile shadow ui to tmobile wing and it hard
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Hi,

I've removed all of the rgu from the rom.

If people are having issues with the dual touch keyboard, then I will reup version 2.2 with it removed.

Please do not upload this rom to your site unless you ask me first, since that would be the rite thing to do.

Give me about 20 min and the new version without the dual touch keyboard will be up.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
I removed the random access since I'm having issues with it scrolling.

Currently working on this issue and will reinclude it in a later release.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Currently cooking version 2.2 without the dual touch keyboard and readding random access.

Give me about 15 to upload the new version.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Done,

Version 2.2 has been uploaded with dual touch keyboard removed and readded random access.

Enjoy,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] cangri87:
im glad u where quick in fixing this issue..

will flash as soon as i get off work...

hahaha u had me checking this site more than i check my myspace.. :cool:
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
I found this in the development section and was thinking about using it in my next release.

PointUI

Enjoy,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] cangri87:
that would be a great theme for it..

diff from the HTC home screen... kinda looks like HTC plus.. but more MAC look alike..

ima donate $10. as soon as i get home..

not much

but im kinda broke right now.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] nKiwan:
Hey great rom, work of art!

I vote for touch-it based rom with cube.

I downloaded the file you posted, now how would you go about flashing it? theres no Read Me files or executable programs to start it.

Thanks! keep up the good work!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] jazba:
Naicee!! can't wait, and yes add the cube.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
The file posted was a file from me to ttran001 to help him along with building this ROM, not a ROM in itself. Sorry.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] le_hades:
That sure looks great... I can't wait :eek:
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] nKiwan:
oh ok, just the whole "as promised, here's the cube'd pckg" kinda threw me off, sry bout that.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] robosiris:
I was wondering the same thing. I have an unbranded Herald as well. This rom sounds like it'll convince me to hold off on getting the i-mate Ultimate 9502:D
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
As a side note: If either ttran001 or any Herald user here knows what registry changes must be made for the Herald's keyboard, please let me know. This can actually MAKE a Herald ROM available from wing cooks and will allow me to make my Kitchen compatible with Heralds.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] TylerC161:
These roms are TylerC161 approved! :D (currently using the previous release)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] #13:
Hey Ttran, thanks!

I am using your first version here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=343437 not the touch it 1.0.... because honestly I cannot look at those graphics... no offense, but I prefer your previous work...

Is there any serious differences between the open touch 1.0 and your first touch it 2.3 recooked version which I am using now, I prefer those graphics on the home screen, and still have not found the cube to be usefull....

Anyway, could you please have a version with and without the cube to please all, and could you please remove all the added software like ROM settings, etc, and include a nice package of cabs as options so that they can be installed to the card...

Also for graphics, the present clear homescreen is great! Nice and simple and allows the background to show through...

Thank you again very much for providing us with these awesome upgrades!!!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Debdrup:
I have to agree there. It sucks that the Herald with my current ROM (Touch-FLO ) doesn't always connect correctly with Windows Mobile Device Center, which means I have to restart the phone via softreset (or sometimes even restart my computer, which is a ***** and a waste of time)..

So I fully agree.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] #13:
What is the main difference in Touch IT anyway? Other then some added proggies and the HTC home? Is it faster?

I have not noticed a problem with syncing with Vista since I got the update for the WMDC.

Either way, please have a super light extra virgin ROM version without the cube in your release! And the icons for the HTC home are good either transparent or the once from your first recook(not open touch). Both are great!

You da man!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] bio88:
I believe it uses a newer WM6 build from the Kaiser.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] krishanchopra:
hi jus a simple question?

im really exited about this new product u r making... and i was just wondering when we will be able to download it.... if u dont have an answer it would be much appreciated if u could email me when it is released at krishanchopra92@hotmail.co.uk so i can donate asap

thanks so much:)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Hi,

I'm currently trying to get all icons and links for the LG Menu to work correctly. The rest of the rom is pretty much completed, but I want to make sure that I get all issues from the last release fixed first. I hope to be completed by some time next week if possible. As for the donations, please donate to the forum instead of me.

Thanks,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
If you need any help with it, PM me. :-) I want to try it on my base ROM, too. I'm assuming you're cleaning up the tmobile ROM to use as a base as well? You can use my base if you want to (and it works properly.) You also won't have to deal with the tmobile extended junk clunking it up.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] krishanchopra:
thanks.....but

if it is possible could you send me the ROM as it is to my email krishanchopra92@hotmail.co.uk because i just want to see how it is asap cos next week im getting the XDA Trion so id rather try it out on my old phone than my new phone...

would be much appreciated ..:)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] krishanchopra:
oh

i guess no reply means no...... ok then d.w

Thanks
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] agee:
i'd like to see it based off the original tmob rom.

if you're going to include the cube in the rom, are you going to plan on releasing a lite version like last time?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] xingeng:
no cube plz
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Hi,

I will post a beta version of this rom later on today.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Hi,

I'm always thankful for donations and any amount is wonderful to me.

Thanks in advance.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] tiksister:
ttran001,

Thanks again for all the hard work!!!! As soon as I get my paypal account back on track (had some problems with it) I'll make a donation...

Well, Happy New Year for all of you guys... this will be the last flashing of the year for me... heheheh!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Thanks for the mirrors and donation.

Happy new year to you and the rest of the forum.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] cangri87:
as promised.. sent u the donation :D

and i hope u keep on making us "wing" users happy..
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] nooney299:

[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] cangri87:
nooney.. u should change the name to Noobey.. lol.. jk..

but umm did u download the mirror file?

u have to download that so u can get the "herald-uspl.exe"

after that u should be set just make shure u put the NBH file in the RUU folder.

its preety easy
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Thank you very much for you donation,

And yes, I've already started thinking about some new ideas for the next release.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Hi,

I'm currently testing PointUI and it works great, but still in beta stage.

There are some things that still need to be worked on, but the guys that created it did a great job.

I'm also trying to contact them to see if I can add it to my next release.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Smilez_c:
rapidshare mirror is dead
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
What happened to the LG menu? Did you remove it from this release? Also, when I put the soft key as new sms it points to the message center instead of opening a new sms message for me. It used to not work at all but I can get to the message center by pressing the side message button.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Hi,

The LGMenu has been removed as stated from an eailer post, I'm trying to fix the last few issues before reupling the file with it included.

As for the SMS, I've done pretty much what I can for now, I will have to look into it more as time allows. It's a known issue and I'm trying to find a perfect fix for it.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Hi,

I'm working on the SMS issue rite now and hope to have it resolved shortly.

Did anybody else find any more issues?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Hi,

Here is a quick fix for the SMS issue until I rebuild this rom.

Create a new short cut named sms.lnk with the following data.

20#"\Windows\tmail.exe" -service "SMS" -to "" -body ""

Copy this new file into Windows\Start Menu\ folder

Use softkey to map to this new file.

I will include this fix in the next version 2.3.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Freshumz:
Thanks..just where do I find this cab, I dont see it on the first page
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] droppedd:
It's in the RAPI folder inside the Herald USPL flash tool rar file (the second listed file).
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Freshumz:
Thanks for the help ill be trying this out soon =]
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] aron4588:
ttran i wasn't gonna really ever released it i just was gooing to put a doc in a zip file that said "recook your own damn rom"
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] tipz:
First of all amazing work.

just a comment if possible maybe we have a rev history type readme included
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
I've stated this before since version 1 that my roms are pretty much like open source. Meaning do what you want with it as long as you include credit where credit is due.

The main reason why I ask that no body recook this rom rite now is that I'm still working on fixing issues with it.

Once everthing has been completed and I was going to upload a version with the rgu in tack then your more then welcome to recook it or do what every you want with it.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
No problem,

I will included the following sample as requested by an eailer post.

Example:

Open Touch v2.2 - Recook your own dam rom!

or maybe some thing of this nature:

Open Touch v2.2 - T-Mobile Wing!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
I couldnt figure it out. I made a new shortcut with totalcmd and it didnt have any options for changing -service "SMS" -to "" -body "" I think its wanting the shortcut to link to something. I made a shortcut that points to tmail.exe and that is the message center so that didnt work either but there werent any options listed for changing -service or -body. I may be misunderstanding the instructions.

Sorry I missed the post about the LG menu not being in this build, everything else is running great so far and I will report if I find anything else.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Hi,

I'm rebuilding the rom rite now and will include the sms fix.

The only thing is that I can not remove the existing New SMS link.

The new one will be called New SMS Msg, just select it from the softkey app.

Give me about 30 min and the new file will be up.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
Perfect. Thanks so much. Just a suggestion, can you just name it SMS so that it doesnt take up a lot of space on the main bar? If you cant no big deal.

Donating....
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Okay,

I will name it SMS instead of New SMS Msg.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] tipz:
just sent my 2 cents :).

thanks for work bro keep it up
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Thanks bro,

The SMS issue has been fixed, working on readding OneNote Mobile since I accidently removed it.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
I bet all of that tedious stuff gets pretty old. Just let us know when its up, I look forward to having something to show off tonight. :D
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
I like your graphics, so I can't wait to see the splash screen. ^_^
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Almost done with the rom rebuild,

I don't have photoshop with me at work so I'm using a photo created by poorlyduck, already asked him for permission awhile back.

In the next rom version, I will create one for the replacement T-Mobile slash screen.

The new file should be up in about 20 mins.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
I won't get to see if since I'm working on my own ROM, so just post up a pic of it. :-p (And I'm at work.)
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
Im at work and have been ready to flash this all day!! :p
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Uploading it rite now,

After reviewing the extra space required for OneNote Mobile, I went ahead and left it out.

If for some reason you have to have this program, please download it and install manually.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Smilez_c:
Man its too bad im so broke right now i wish i could donate because you d a very good job with these roms
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
The new version has been uploaded, please check the first post.

Enjoy,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Some times, it's the thought that counts.

Thanks bro,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] pancakes808:
do you know if im+ works on this rom? i remember you posting about trying slick im. how would you compare the two?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Hi,

This release does not include windows live/im, please review the first post for all installed apps.

Once I release the version with the LGMenu, then I will readd the windows live/im.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] tipz:
is it possible you can share the boot screen htc windows image with us.

I kinda like it as a wallpaper.

i think this newest build is working fine for now maybe if you do add lgmenu or im and stuff why not make it a seprate addon instead of a new build.

or just leave this as a base build
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Master Loon:
ttran001 Great rom. Thanks for the hard work. I feel like it is now christmas and I am playing with the phone for the first time. I'm Lovin IT tm.... I am overclocked and buzzing away.

Happy New year to all you gents and ladies!

Poorlyduck- I like the splash screen

Great choice
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Hi,

The main purpose of adding it to the rom is to save program/storage space and wasted time having to readd it every time you go and hard reset the device.

If you notice once you install this rom you should have about 37 MB of storage space and 17 to 20 plus depending on the page pool size you use.

I'm going to make different versions for people to choose from.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
Where is the screenshot of the boot splash that I asked for? :cool:
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Sorry,

I left it at work and will post it tomorrow when I get in.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] JLine05:
Just flashed successfully, I'll play with it tonight while I'm getting drunk and report back soon! Thanks for all of your work.

BTW - I saw that you said you were already making a ROM based on Pointui. Holy hell, I cant wait. I hear they're finishing it up soon. \m/
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Yep,

I'm currently striping it down rite now to the barest possible.

I want this one to be fast and smooth.

I can not wait for them to fix all of the bugs.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] tiksister:
Ok, quick question. How can I disable XT9? I mean totaly disable. Burn it, Delete it. Destroy it. Send it to Syberia!!!!!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] MDANavymom:
Am liking having my camera function back again. But am having a problem with 2.2.1 I use Daynotez but it won't run says there is a problem opening NetCF, so tried to reinstall netcf and it says that version 3.5 is not made for this device!! Anyway the Daynotez worked on version 2.0, am just trying to figure out how to make this get working again?

Thanks
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] MrGalione973:
Flashing

help me someone... not new to flashing at all, but i actually never flashed it this way... i tried teh above steps in teh first post but it doesn't work, what am i to do? can someone give me the basics with this rom?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] MrGalione973:
scratch that, looking at wrong thing, got everything up and running, active listening is the key!!!

Happy New Year!!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] MDANavymom:
Here are the steps that I used and it worked slick:

Downloaded Open Touch 2.2.1 and the Herald file - unrar both

I always flash back to the orginal T-Mobile Ship rom and I always turn off the phone.

Once I flash with the ship rom I reboot it, turn off the phone, so I don't get a call or text during the flash.

The Herald folder needs to be in the C: drive and copy the 2.2.1 nbh file into the RUU folder.

Run the Herald.exe let it run and you should be good to go.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] dario69:
Did you install the RAPI file after the first attempt failed? The readme file makes reference to this near the end if problems arise. I didn't have to do this but I think it all depends on your PC configuration and Operation System. If anything this new process has made the install of ttran001 rom's easy as ever. I don't even think about it anymore. I wish my HX4700 rom flashes were this easy
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] erickwing:
hey ttran001 im gonna create a paypal acount just to donate to you man your work rocks man u make some good ****...keep it up man by friday u should have my donation..
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] Crazy1031:
You could of just said no and saved yourself the trouble and fyi not everybody can "recook their own damn roms" I have been trying to learn but with no success either way you didn't have to make yourself look like an asshole but w/e

Hey ttran001 great rom man nice splash screen looks nice and It seems more stable plus better memory
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Thanks bro,

Also,

For the people that have to have the LGMenu, I'm going to go ahead and create a new rom with HTC_Plus and the LGMenu.

There will be no HTC_Home with this rom, this way I can free up some space since the LGMenu requires Windows Live/IM and other things.

So, if you don't need or want the LGMenu, just use the current rom and wait for the next release.

The Open Touch v2.2.1 HTC_Plus/LGMenu should be completed in a few hours.

Screen shots will be available in a few hours I hope.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] MDANavymom:
ttran001, just made a donation, not much right now, but will contribute more soon. Am really liking the rom and it is running pretty smooth, only problem is trying to use Daynotez which uses NetCF, is that not included in the 2.2.1?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
That's really strange, I thought I completely removed that with version 2.2.1.

I will double check the files and if for some strange reason it's still there, I will redo the rom and reup it.

This will also give me the chance to change some of the background.

Hold tight,
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Thank you very much for the donation and I'm always happy with any amount.

I forgot to mention that I upgraded NetCF to version 3.5.

Are there more people having issues with this?

If needed I will recook the rom with the original version of NetCF.

Also,

Please let me know if you find or have any more issues.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] MDANavymom:
What version did you use in 2.0? DayNotez worked with that one.

Thanks and keep up the good work.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
I'm going to rebuild this rom with the original NetCF so that DayNotez will work.

Hold tight, I will have it completed shortly.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] MDANavymom:
No big hurry, ttran...also didn't realize that my MLO program didn't work either, it uses netcf, yes those are the two programs I use that require netcf...otherwise am loving this rom.

THANKS!
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] mahd-leb:
sounds like a gd rom ttran but how much ram do u get when u install the rom ?
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ivanmmj:
NETCF 3.5 is much faster than 2.0 but some programs don't quite work with it.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
About 35 to 37 MB for storage and 20 MB plus for programs.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
Yep,

Learning the hard way here.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] MDANavymom:
Yes it is, would be nice if the older software could work with it. Maybe I just need to find a newer programs to replace these.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] ttran001:
I'm still working on the rebuild, been kind of busy at work today.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] MDANavymom:
ttran001, calm down take a deep breathe and enjoy the new year...life will not come to a screeching halt if you don't get this done today or even tomorrow.
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] hebrewhammer:
Yes it will
[Wing, P4350 Herald Upgrading] hebrewhammer:
I have 2 little bugs I've found. Sometimes the extendable start menu comes out. I don't see any pattern to when it comes out, it just does it sometimes.

This next one I'm not sure if it is a bug or not but I can not scroll threw the contacts with my finger. It just doesn't respond. That was one of my favorite features in other roms and would like it back if possible.
