You need to use USPL first to temporarily CID unlock your device. Please read the stickies and make sure you have your phone's original shipped ROM before trying an update (I cant stress enough how important this is)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kuantem:
... figured that was the problem. I just downloaded the updates now. Thanks anyhow.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] kuantem:
... done. Very nice rom!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
So glad you like it :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] webwiz:
Tabish where r u man no releases for quite sometime now? I have been waiting for some action from you. Wazzup?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Life has been hectic. Very hectic infact.

There will be a soft release soon that will include IPL 2.27 and SPL 2.28 with 2.0 and 2.1 Roms. Thanks for the shoutout
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Petr-H:
It has been almost month from your last response, is there anything new? Can we expect the new version anytime soon (if ever)?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
New version!

For anyone who still visits this thread, I want to inform everyone who have followed my short history of releases that I am going to release a WM6.1 version of my ROM which will follow my ideology of keeping it as close to what an HTC Official ROM would have been like had they bothered to release a WM6.1 for our Touchs
[Touch GSM ROM Development] majesticpark:
that sounds great.... i haven really liked the other cooked roms where something is removed or added...

any updates as to when this is coming and what would it include...

thx in advance...

P.S. could you pls cook the rom without the ipl/spl... most of us already have uspl loaded..
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Soon...

EDIT

I am releasing the ROM on 1st OCT, 2008. Want to be sure I have tested it throughly before releasing.

Its going to be a official flavour ROM with Cube, Office, Windows Live, Messenger (in short nothing removed) except a European languages from the keypad for added storage space (English will be still there of course)

Only addition to stock rom will be Modaco Redbox fix that was in my 2.x version which basically just puts a red outline outside the abc key when shifted from T9 to ABC mode so that its clear that mode has shifted.

And yeah since the new IPLs/SPLs work problem-free with Elfs and Elfins, my SPL fix project is scrapped and my ROM will be IPL/SPL (even Radio) free
[Touch GSM ROM Development] iago_00:
A wm6.1 ROM would just be great!!!

Looking forward to it.

thanks
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Attention Everyone!!

I dont know why I said 1st Nov when I meant 1st Oct 2008. Must have been the fatigue from all the countless hours spent flashing, testing, unbricking, adjusting, reflashing! :p

Yes, its releasing in 2 days so check back soon

p.s. Original post has been edited to reflect correct date.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] majesticpark:
can't wait to use this rom...pm me if you need me to beta test this...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] webwiz:
Tabish i have to say i am most delighted to hear this, hope you keep it really close to touch original.

This is post to mark discussion of new ROM release v3.1.6.1
[Touch GSM ROM Development] webwiz:
Congratulations

Let me be the first to congratulate you Tabish, great work again bro. Will upgrade this soon and post feedback. Thanks a lot, man.

Thank you so much Wiz. I am happy to cater to the people who want an Official flavour ROM with newer features, WM6.1 etc

[ROM][WWE] If HTC released an Official Wm6.1 .....[Tabish ROM v3.1.6.1]: newbie query

Hi,

I'm a newbie with a new HTC Touch purchased in Singapore and running WM6.

(1) As a newbie. should I even consider trying to upgrade to WM6.1 with an unofficial HTC version. Will I need adult supervision? (http://xdaforums.com/images/smilies/smile.gif

:))

(2) Same question about upgrading my ROM.

Here are my phone specs:

ELF0100

ROM 2.20.707.1B WWE

ROM date 10/02/07

Radio version 03.07.90

Protocol 4.1.13.51

Ext ROM Setting version 2.20.707.101

If there is too much to explain, point me to something I should read, before I consider making changes to my phone.

Many thanks,

Lisa
[Touch GSM ROM Development] absorber786:
lol ...very debatable in some cases

first place to look is the stickies that contains loads of info..check first link in my sig...my suggestion do some reading first before flashing...a little goes a long way
[Touch GSM ROM Development] webwiz:
Tabish i found problems there are no file associations for jpeg,gif and other media files in the registry, they do not open when clicked you have to open picture viewer to view them. Activesync doesn't detect activesync enabled PC via bluetooth. Other than that not faced anything else so far.

Also i think you should rename the thread to 'HTC Touch official 6.1 ROM - MOCK UP [Tabish ROM v3.1.6.1]' instead of [ROM][WWE] If HTC released an Official Wm6.1 .....[Tabish ROM v3.1.6.1] just to get more hits.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Thank you for your suggestion on thread title webwiz. Its been noted AND implemented.

As for registry settings, my file associations are working fine. I mean I can launch pictures, music, videos, everything from clicking on it from file explorer.

Can you try to reflash? Also can someone else give me feedback if they are facing this issue.

I am currently trying to get my hands on a bluetooth dongle to test Bluetooth activesync
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Lisa absorber has answered most of your queries well. I would just like to say that Wm6.1 definitely gives the touch a speed boost over wm6. Phone feels faster and more responsive. Also by flashing this rom you will get Zoom in Zoom out feature in IE, threaded sms (which can be turned off if you decide you dont like it), better memory management and hence MUCH fewer "Device low on memory" errors and more storage space.

If it sounds like you would like all those things, this is the best place to start

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=406721

I would just like to add that I ALSO have the same device as yours bought from Singapore for which an original released ROM exists so flashing your phone is 99.99% safe cuz if it gets stuck in bootloader, or doesnt boot up, it can be recovered with original ROM (which can be downloaded from HTC/Dopod singapore website)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] plguzman:
Tested in my Elfin, good job. Only having problems with the word suggestion, as I want it in spanish and XT9 or keyboard doesn't show nothing when spanish is selected.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] nusantara:
Thanks for Help to newbie on flashing ROM

Many thanks to Tab13 and Absorber for these thoughtful answers.

Just in case I mess up, where can I find the original ROM. I've looked here:

http://www.asia.htc.com/HTC_SEA/members/others.aspx

But didn't see what looked like the original ROM.

Where else can I try?

With that info, I'll be spending a happy weekend reading and then flashing my phone.

Thanks,

Lisa
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mobiAnd:
I resolved my trouble by myself.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Hey plguz, I had removed all languages except English (as noted in first post) I can make a seperate one for with all languages specially since storage space is not an issue for you on an Elfin. Tell me if you need it
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Yeah thats the page alright. If you were able to register your device and login on that page, its entry number 3 on page number 4 of "Download System Update" section.

OR...

Use this Rapidshare link

http://rapidshare.com/files/1135576...7.1B_4.1.13.51_03.07.90_BLUE_Ship_Reduced.exe

NOTE: Run this exe and its its able to flash your phone without JumpSPL or USPL then its confirmed original ROM for your device (battery has to be more than 50%)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Feedback

Can anyone please give feedback on weather they are also having problems with media files (pictures, videos, music etc) directly from File Explorer
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Noonski:
Nice to see you back Tabi.

Makes me worry less about Elf Thread, while i'm back Home at Wizard Thread.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] mobiAnd:
On my HTC Touch, weather is sychnorized successful but it may not be a full location list. I can open media files without any problem. ROM really run fast & smooth. :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Thank you Noonski. By the way, any thoughts on the Bluetooth Activesync issues that webwiz mentioned. I tested it and for some reason "Activesync" no longer shows up in services list when pairing with my PC (for the record it shows up fine on my brothers Wizard running TNT ROM with 19199 base) and it connects and syncs to my pc.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
I have not removed any cities from the list in HTC Original 2.20.456.1b ROM. And thank you for the feedback and compliments
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jeffhsu:
Thanks for this rom, Tabi. Any resolution on the bluetooth issue?
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Working on it...

Hopefully in a couple of days. Was trying to fix it with a patch only but now it seems like I might need a whole new build.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] webwiz:
Check you PM bro.
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Tiago.Reis:
Hey all!

Hi Guys!

I know I may be making a very "dumb" question, pls forgive me... but I'm knew in this "flashing rom thing"...:(

I read this thread and saw many good comments about this rom, which made me download it...

I've downloaded the file, but it's not like the other roms I've already downloaded... when I unzipped the file, it showed me only a .nbh file, while the other roms comes with many files including the RUU (ROMUpdateUtility), which makes the instalation easier for newbies like me... =$

Can anyone teach me how to flash this rom into my Elf?

Thanks a lot for the reply!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Alright, FIRST thing you should do is make sure you have original shipped Rom for your device.

Then you CID unlock your device by using this file if

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=99975&d=1216310922

if you are using 1.xx IPL/SPL

or this

http://xdaforums.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=101826&d=1217023119

if your device has 2.xx IPL/SPL

You can use RUU update utility and other files from any ROM replacing the NBH file by my NBH file.

I am also attaching a RUU folder which you can unzip and put nbh file from ANY ROM into to flash to your Touch (after CID unlocking).

However I think its best to wait a day or something because I am about to release a new build of my ROM (with bluetooth Activesync problem fixed) and you can use this time to read this

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=406721

which will be very very useful for all your flashing questions/confusions
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Tiago.Reis:
Great Tabi!!!!

Thanks a lot for the help and the advicesssss!!!

I'll try to flash this rom into my Elf, but you can be sure that I'll keep reading this thread (it's already in my bookmarks) to be aware when you release your new version of the rom... :D

I've been reading many threads lately, which are making me want to build my new rom and start up with a kitchen...

are there any "advices" which you could gimme?

Once more, thanks a lot for the help!!! and keep up with the good work!!!!

:D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
The link I gave you earlier (for reading) has lots of info for cooking. Also you can check out Noonski's Cooking Class thread.

Though I have to say, man dont go there :p

This all started with me trying to cook a custom ROM for myself and it just EATS UP time. Flashing and reflashing.

INFACT I just remembered that one more philosophy of mine is that you should have one working ROM and then reflashing should be minimum. I would not be releasing a new version had there not been the bluetooth activesync issue. (By the way, new version is coming tomorrow so hang on!!)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Tiago.Reis:
YAHOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!

Now you made me happy!!!!! :D

I have just flashed the ROM into my Elf, and so far no issues... unless that I was configuring the MSN account and it kinda "crashed" and booted... but this was only once...

Still no major issues with Activesync... I'll still test the Bluetooth...

But since your new rom is coming up tomorrow, I'll just organize the elf, so then I can use it till tomorrow, when I'll be flashing the new rom... :)

Thanks a lot!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Navrichard:
HOW TO

sorry guys - i am a newbie here -

i downloaded the file - but i get an NBH file - not EXE RUU file - to run the ROM to flash the phone - can some one help me on this please
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Tiago.Reis:
He Navrichard,

I had this same doubt, which was answered by Tabi (Yesterday, 04:08 PM tabi13).

He sent the RUU file, all you have to do is unzip the folder and put the NBH file in the sambe folder. Then run the RUU...

Just take a look in a few posts above in this same page.

Cheers :D
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Tiago.Reis:
Everything seems to be smoothly...

Hi Tabi!!!:D

Just a quick note I'd like to post here... as I told you, I've flashed the rom into my elf, and everything seems to be working fine... I also installed the WisBar Adv and the WisBar Desktop in it and it's fine as well...

Internet connections and weather running smoothly...:cool:

I have just a single concern which is regarding the MSN... I don't know if anyone here had the same issue...

everytime I reboot (reset) the elf, when it starts I get a message saying: "The Operator does not exist in the database. Please contact your operator for the connection settings. Connection Setup will redirect you to Connections screen."

But as I mentioned above, my internet GPRS is configured as usual, and everything (downloads, emails, internet, weather...) is working perfectly, except for the Messenger.:(

Could it has any relationship?:confused:

I appreciate your feedback about this!

And I'm still waiting for the new rom!!!

See you!!

Cheers!

my elf100 (htc touch) cid unlock

hello, some ROMS are not working in my HTC touch maybe because it needs a CID unlock.

I can't do a CID unlock without having an already working ROM on it.

My HTC rom is not working and I have a BLUE-YELLOW-RED screen on the startup. no os installed.

how can I CID unlock it in order to install the rom?

thank you
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
That message comes if your network is not on the network list in the connection manager I have included. With the dismiss button you should choose "never ask me this again" (or similar)

So if connection manager is not auto-setting up your connection, are you doing it manually?

Try using MSN over wifi and report back how it works.

p.s. I am JUST uploading the new ROM. Dont be TOO excited cuz only changes are NETCF3.5 (from 2.0) and Bluetooth Activesync fix
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Hi. You will need an official HTC ROM (one that works without CID unlocking) for your device. Just connect your Phone in Red, Green Blue screen mode to your USB and run the installer.

Once your phone is working again you can use links in post 113 a few posts above yours to CID unlock your phone and install my ROM.

http://xdaforums.com/showpost.php?p=2750583&postcount=113

You should also read the last link in post 113 to read about CID unlocking, unbricking and ROM info your your phone
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Tiago.Reis:
Hi Tabi,

I just got the msn working, I have installed a msn which I had here and it works... the only issue I have is that after a certain period using the msn it consumes all the memory ram.... it easily gets to 11MB... =S

Don't know what to do...

Regarding the message from the network, I have only a "HIDE" option... :(

No dismiss or any buttons like this...

any other tip??

cheers
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Thank you for bringing this to my attention. It indeed IS a problem. MSN not working in 3.1 or 3.2 build. Just hang on, new build coming today that will fix this problem.

As for auto configuration, you can go to settings->connections->connection setup->menu and uncheck Enable Auto Configuration but you can try that on the new build that I will release in a few hours from now :)
[Touch GSM ROM Development] Tiago.Reis:
Cool, thanks for the connections tip! :D

Just FYI, the version of the MSN which I installed is the "Windows Live 10.6.0034.0800 (Fixed)"... I don't know if this could be the reason of the memory issue when using the msn...

Please lemme know once you have released the new build... and if it's not asking to much, could you put it in other place than Rapidshare? Maybe 4shared or any other... I always have problems with Rapidshare...

Thanks a lot!!!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
All issues now fixed. Everyone, enjoy the rom.

THX.

I am glad you managed to upgrade :)

I have not created a mirror cuz I prefer people downloading from my rapidshare folder. It gives me rapidshare points for each download and I get to see how many times the ROM has been downloaded

can u provide us full weather cities list xml file

[Touch GSM ROM Development] webwiz:
You have not CID unlocked you device. All those who have such problem install the contents of enable-rapi.zip first and then run the contents of Elf_Uspl-v1.zip to unlock device

The cities list if from ROM 2.20.707.1B the most comprehensive ELFin list till date. you can extract it yourself from the windows folder.

windows media player issue

i have problem when using the windows media player. when i watch the muvi (final fantasy 7 advent children) .mp4 it doesn't play smoothly, it lags as per frame so i try to flash again.... no luck. guess its in the rom issue. coz im using the other Rom i never encounter that problem.

im using the R2 OPAL port ROM now....
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
No, I am afraid it doesnt. I am using XML list from the 2.20.707.1B rom so if it doesnt show up in mine, it probably doesnt show up in that either.

Maybe Indian HTC's had a custom ROM built with more Indian cities?

If you could point me to your original ROM (or version) which includes Kanker, I could extract if for you
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
I am using the same core as the R2 OPAL port so I dont understand how or why this could be... except maybe the R2 OEM part has some codec or better video drivers for HTC display
[Touch GSM ROM Development] hegemon:
Hi Tabish,

I successfully installed your ROM on my ELF : my first cooked ROM ever on a mobile !

Everything is working fine, except :

- some memory problems, mostly with memory hungry apps like with Opera Mobile or WorldMate,

=> I might try "dsixda's excellent universal PP Changer", but I'm not sure yet it will help

- keyboard : is it possible for you to provide the french language file ?

(I don't need any other languages than English and French)

Thank you very much !
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
First of all, thank you very much for downloading and trying my ROM (and the feedback)

On the Elf and its limited RAM, memory will always be a problem specially if you want to use the cube. But do try the PP changer cuz I dont feel any performance difference and it gives me an extra 4mb to work with.

Opera Mobile is a HUGE resource hog so well, thats that I guess.

I am attaching t9 cabs for French and Spanish. Tell me if they work.

Also if anyone wants any other language file, let me know
[Touch GSM ROM Development] jeffhsu:
Tabi,

Sorry, just got around to trying it now. Everything, including Bluetooth, works great for me with a 4MB PP. If you have the Chinese language laying around somewhere, that'd be helpful, but not necessary (as I have a 3rd party enabler).

Thanks for all your work!
[Touch GSM ROM Development] hegemon:
Hello Tabi,

Thank you for your reply.

I switched to a 4MB PP, I'll tell you in a few days if I noticed an improvement.

I installed the french cab by copying it on the HTC and clicking on the cab file to install it, then restarted the device.

Unfortunately, there is something wrong :

1. I can't get any word completion anymore with the "Keyboard" or the "Touch Keyboard", even if I switch back to English language : the "black line" where words were suggested doesn't show up anymore.

I restarted the HTC, checked off & on the word completion option but it doesn't change anything.

2. When I select "Touch Keypad" as input option, it is the "Touch Keyboard" that appears.

Any hint, clue, suggestion would be welcome...

Thank you !
[Touch GSM ROM Development] tabi13:
Damn! I am so sorry. I just searched for extra language cab files and posted them here. I am going to manually extract the files and send them to you. In the meantime see if uninstalling the french cab gets your autocomplete going again. If not I am afraid you might have to reflash the ROM
[Touch GSM ROM Development] hegemon:
Ok. Hum, how should I do that ? :)

Another question : is it possible to install a french keyboard or is the keyboard specifically related to the ROM's language ?

Thank you !
[Touch GSM ROM Development] lucasabeto:
Mirror, mirror on the fora, who's.. is it Tabish?

I have not created a mirror cuz I prefer people downloading from my rapidshare folder. It gives me rapidshare points for each download and I get to see how many times the ROM has been downloaded[/QUOTE]

I live in an Island wich only have a wireless/satellite provider (shared IP over a network)... i cant use rapidshare... so if from the bottom of your heart you will allow someone or you to make a mirror I will apreciate it...

Thank you...
[Touch GSM ROM Development] hegemon:
Hello Tabi,

I could uninstall the T9 French cab with the standard "Remove programs" application, and things seems to work fine :

- Word completion ok (with English language)

- Touch Keypad ok

So if you can provide an other way to install the T9 French language, and a French keyboard, things would be perfect ! :)

Thanks a lot.
