No it’s not.

My understanding of the CID unlock is that it’s only important when flashing an Official ROM and not necessary for a cooked ROM.

Reason cooked ROMs require softspl to bypass security checks, Official ROMs from other providers can be flashed after being CID unlocked without softspl.

This is just my understanding and it could be very wrong.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Sorry to here about your wifi problems.

Glad to here that it's not the ROM.

Thank you for the reply.
[Shadow ROM Development] liljay18:
this rom is perfact nd4spd take some notes this guy is a pro
[Shadow ROM Development] ND4SPD:
Yeah, that's correct. Nice job! i'm flashing the rom as I'm typing this.

@liljay: will do. Just wanted to let you know that I'm by no means an expert with this stuff:D The Shadow is the first one i've ever worked on. The only reason people might of thought my work was good is that because until Hikey and -MyHTC- made ROMs, mine were the only option for wm6.1.
[Shadow ROM Development] ND4SPD:
btw, -MyHTC-, which phone's XIP partition did you port from? I did it from the Q, but didn't know if there were any other options.
[Shadow ROM Development] dilfatx:
Not trying to cut in on the fun (getting a new ROM) but if you don't already know.. the way ROMS go.. there isn't so much as one being better than another.. its more of a matter of a ROM made with the developers thoughts, likes, and ideas in mind.. as how he/she thinks it should be..

so to say that one is better than another comes off as a bit insulting..

I believe there is a post here on the forum I have recently read about this such thing.. we don't need to make comments about making one person better than the other or saying one person's ROM is not as good as the other.. we are all at differ stages of the learning curve..
[Shadow ROM Development] audscott:
I agree, perhaps even more a matter of user preference. Both ROMs are very well done, however I happen to like ND4SPD's developer 1.1 edition, cleansed of all the T-Mo extra's.

It's fantastic to have these options.

Thanks ND4SPD & MyHTC for all your hard work.
[Shadow ROM Development] ND4SPD:
First of all, really nice job on the rom. It's a lot more organized than mine, for one. :D

I did find one bug and it confirms kron2's problem. The WiFi loses signal intermittedly. I'm pretty sure its not my router because I have successful connections with a laptop and a desktop to the network. Which WLAN files did you use? If you used the emulator ones, I think it should work. If that doesn't you need to use the Shadow's WLAN SYS files.
[Shadow ROM Development] kron2:
I think we need more people to look in to whether the wifi keeps going out because I have the same problem on the t mobile rom I just went back to so I can ship it back to t mobile
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
I compared all WiFi files from the Shadow WM6.0, Dopod WM6.0, Emulator WM6.1 and this ROM they are all the same.

Then I compared the drivers from the Shadow WM6.0, Dopod WM6.0 and this ROM they are all the same.

So I can assure you that any ROM built with WM6.0 or WM6.1 will be using files and drivers.

Any issues with WiFi connection must be from the manufacture and there are no updates.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
I took it from my StarTrek, where it came from before that I dont know.

If I had to guess I would say it came from the Q.
[Shadow ROM Development] Hikey:
Thank you, ND4SPD

I did not have a shadow or dopod c750 yet. (I use HTC S710)

I cook this rom for one of my friend who use shadow in china.

when i finished it, i upload to fs2you, then my friend download and test it.

I did it blindly, just put the original OEM and SYS from emulator together.

The OEM part come from dopod C750 WM6.0 rom.

Can someone tell me if the original neo homescreen is working properly
[Shadow ROM Development] johnnyeoneal:
has anyone already tried the new rom? if its half as good as the first release by My HTC which im running now then I can't wait to try myself! This guy is genius nd his work is excellent. I admire his attention to detail nd being so organized. So I will be checking posts to see what this new rom is all about nd bugs etc, thanks My HTC for all your hard work!!!

The latest update fixes an issue with the Digital Rights Management the previous ROM couldn’t play protected music.

Not much else to say about the update.

Thanks to jagesso and kron2 for testing and verifying that the Digital Rights Management now works.
[Shadow ROM Development] timtillman:
will you give the update its own link or update the original one upthread?

Tim
[Shadow ROM Development] XSAULX:
the new link is already on the first page!!

i'm downloading it right now!! :D

new update kicks ass
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Its now clear your not with T-Mobile because all GPRS/MMS settings work.

You must be with another carrier however you never said that.
[Shadow ROM Development] psjames:
not recievinv calls

Ever since I put on this latest build, I have been missing calls, they go straight to voice mail and do not show a missed call. I have contacted support at T-Mobile and they do not have any issues with the network nor had they received any calls from this location with people having the same issue. I went back to the ND4SPD's 6.1 BETA 4.1 ROMS and did not seem to have the issue. Is there anything I can check to find out why the phone does not receive calls. It is not consistent.

Paul
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
The only thing I can tell you is the problem you describe sounds like a problem with the radio and or network however I never changed the radio so I would have to say that it’s a network issue.

The ROM isn’t responsible for sending and receiving calls on that level.
[Shadow ROM Development] dilfatx:
Wanted to mention that I have found a bug on this ROM. I have installed this rom on two shadows and both reflect the same issue/bug.

When ever I get an incoming call from all my contacts my phone when closed lights up like normal but doesn't show the contact picture of phone number..it just has a white screen appear... (haven't yet received a call from somebody outside of my contacts so not sure if its blank then)

I can replicate this on the second shadow that I installed this ROM and the same thing happens..

I have enclosed a screen pic of what it looks like..

This bug wasn't occurring when I had the previous ROM made by MyHTC just FYI

[Shadow ROM Development] murchman:
I can confirm this bug as I have the same issue.
[Shadow ROM Development] lethalp1mp:
I am seeing this bug as well. Makes it a bit tough to see who's calling. ;)
[Shadow ROM Development] dilfatx:
Also I wanted to mention that im not getting all the calls..i know somebody on this thread has mentioned it as a bug.. i have called few times to replicate the bug on the white screen issue and have noticed that my phone doens't acknowledge my call .. i have a third party voicemail that i have used since i had the dash and have used through out all the ROMs i have installed on the Shadow.. it sends me a text with a note saying who called and if they left a voicemail it also sends me a text saying i have a missed call... the miss calls don't show up on the phone but they show up on the third party app that controls my voicemail.. calls directed there are only sent when my phone doesn't answer or when its turned off!
[Shadow ROM Development] buckbullstallion:
same here i use YOUMAIL. and out of no-where i get a message and have to call the peeps back and its usually contact ones. but when i use contacts pro seems to be okay. but will do further testing when i find the damn shadow. just got back from hawaii so everything is still in shambles and missing things but hope to find the shadow soon so I can see if the contacts pro is still working
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
The image you posted looks like everything has shifted up and to the left that’s messed up no doubt about that.

I’m not sure what the problem could be I haven’t touched anything connected to the caller ID it’s the same as before.

I doubt the gifs I put in could have caused that to happen.

Have you tried changing the photo for the contact?

Now for a really lame ass question/suggestion have you tried a hard reset?

I know the last one is stupid and no better response then the so-called support techs reading from their computer monitors but it might help.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Let us know how the testing goes.
[Shadow ROM Development] dilfatx:
When I took the pic it was fresh after the ROM install..and so no contact pics were assigned to any pics.. its just showed that when ever anybody calls.. and now that I have set up contacts..its the same thing..

Will do a hard reset and get back to you..
[Shadow ROM Development] kron2:
well I don't have no problem with calls but the problem with the caller id I changed my image and see it and contact picture and the text is in black now

and I noticed one more thing and if you can myhtc put the wm.6.1 gif's back in the rom and change the reg back .the old ones all start with watermark and the ones in wm6.1 don't so all the themes don't work to good with this rom and the gif, image size are not the same from the neo and wm6.1 which mite be why the contact picture don't show up
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
I agree I’m going to remove the gifs I think your right and that is probably what’s gone wrong.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
I don’t think a hard reset will help you at this point I believe it’s my fault.
[Shadow ROM Development] dilfatx:
you right about the reset.. still same issue.. i look forward to the new update.. :-)
[Shadow ROM Development] TheNavyBear:
Link to Updated file is dead

The link to the Updated ROM (8/23/08) is a non working link, goes to 4share which says the file link is not valid.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
The link has been updated and so has the ROM.
[Shadow ROM Development] t-idol:
Thanks very much for the ROM MyHTC. I was experiencing the same "incoming call bug" as stated here after I installed kron2's diamond theme.

As I mentioned to him as well, the names for certain files seem to be different between your ROM and what his theme was targeting. After I identified which pictures were used by your ROM, I went ahead and replaced them manually: I just renamed the image files in kron2's theme with the names of the gif files in your ROM and transferred them to windows folder.

Everything works as expected now :)

Since I fixed this bug "manually", there is no need for me to upgrade to the new ROM, right?

Thanks!
[Shadow ROM Development] dilfatx:
I mentioned before that I did a hard reset and still had the same bug..

well for giggles i did another hard reset and now it works just fine.. no more incoming call bug..

one issue though to MyHTC when i see the contact picture on anybody who might call me the pic are relatively small.. seems smaller than the default Tmobile version.. I ask that if you can please if possible change the size of picture dispaly when receiving calls to a much bigger size.. for me maybe as big as taking up 1/3 of the screen would work great..
[Shadow ROM Development] murchman:
I would like to request a non-t-mobile customized version if you have time?

Thanks!
[Shadow ROM Development] dilfatx:
I just applied two different themes, freddie reyes, and gregory's htc and both gave me the white blank screen again.. so we are back to square one..
[Shadow ROM Development] kron2:
did you install the new rom myhtc posted today
[Shadow ROM Development] TheNavyBear:
There is a non-T-Mobile version called the "Clean Developers Version" on AllShadow.com
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
The only thing you would gain by updating is the fix built into the ROM and newer version of java.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
The small picture on the caller ID is a known problem that’s been around for a very long time on many phones I don’t think anyone has found a fix for it yet.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Sorry that won’t be happening anytime soon since I don’t own a Shadow all the testing would have to be done by other people and that becomes serious pain with uploading test ROMs.

All initial testing on this ROM was done using a friends Shadow he is pleased with it the way it is and not willing to let me flash his phone anymore. :eek:

If in the future I get a Shadow then yes I will make a non-T-Mobile ROM.
[Shadow ROM Development] liljay18:
did you fix the themes and color ID problem
[Shadow ROM Development] kron2:
it is fixed for me
[Shadow ROM Development] lethalp1mp:
Themes work for me as well.
[Shadow ROM Development] dilfatx:
I just saw that the new rom was posted after my thread.. i will install the ROM as soon as I get my hands on a windows pc lol i only have linux running on my home computers :D
[Shadow ROM Development] t-idol:
Those are small fixes... I'll wait until a major change is done to upgrade to the next version.

What's the best strategy for keeping up with each incremental ROM release? I cant imagine going through re-installation, customization, etc. each time. Is it possible to just back up everything using Sprite Backup, install the new ROM and then restore programs and documents? What happens to the system files with this scenario?

Cheers!

Just wanted to give feedback on the WiFi connection. Someone mentioned that he/she was loosing connection with this ROM. Yesterday, I was online using my home wireless network for more than 2 hours surfing web via OperaMini and PIE, checking e-mail, streaming music and it NEVER lost connection.

This ROM works great for me as it is... Thanks again MyHTC! Despite that, will there be any more changes in the future?

Cheers!

By the way MyHTC do I need to redownload again the cab files of the updates so that your latest added fixes be included?
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
I cant answer that yet.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
I didn’t make any cads to fix anything there isn’t anything wrong with the ROM.

The only thing those cabs will do is change settings that people requested that I’m not putting in the ROM.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
I made a cab for you to try let me know if it works.

Istalled the cab not working. I hard reset(clear storage) then install it again still not working. Haaayyy and also my wifi is also not working, help.....

TC Thanks so much for the professional ROM. It works like a charm on first install. However, I couldn't get it to display chinese. I tried to install sunglobe.cab, which works pretty well in old wm6 but it doesn't work at all in this ROM. Does anyone know if it's a ROM issue or the location of registry for foreign language font has been changed?

So I am trying to flash to the new updated rom. I have it installed and I get through the initial stages of the command prompt, but when I get to the upgrade utility, my shadow goes white and it cannot find the connection. I am getting error 202. Any help? I am currently using the clean developer edition revision 1.1 beta.

Thanks for the help

umm this is from allshadow.com

just wondering if anyone on knows of a fix?

[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Seven downloads and not one comment what am I supposed to guess if it worked?

Im one of the downloads, I did so in anticipation of installing the ROM.

I am using the current image posted (Updated_9-5-08_T-Mobile_Shadow_WM6.1.zip)

My Shadow hangs when I first run the .bat file, at the same time the T-Mobile update utility window appears. I restart my Shadow and proceed with the update utility once ActiveSync connects to the phone, and the upgrade begins.

However, after the phone restarts into the ROM loader it goes to 2% then the phone restarts. The update utility errors out and says the image is corrupt.

I tried both the main download site and the mirror, same result both times.

Anyone else able to use the 9-5-08 image?
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
The phone will enter boot loader mode when you run the bat file and the screen will turn white.

Leave it alone and just continue with the update utility.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Good to hear you got it going.

I didn’t even think of or know about the Network Wizard.

Could you post a link?
[Shadow ROM Development] pseudonatural:
Ohhhhh

I was getting a black screen with the thumb circle lit. I assumed it had locked up. However, after running the program it does appear to have worked now with continuing. It's booting up for the first time now.

YES!

THANK YOU!
[Shadow ROM Development] Nightwind Hawk:
Hi Guys,

I just PMed this to MyHTC but I figured I should post it here as well:

I tried upgrading my shadow to your version of 6.1, but when the t-mobile update utility showed the screen of what version it will be updated to, it was blank, and my shadow went black. I couldn't turn it off so I removed the battery, and as soon as I put the battery back in, the screen turns on and is red green and blue with writing about Phoebus, ONBL 1.11.0000

I've tried holding down the soft keys to reset it but no luck. What do you think I can do?

EDIT: Fixed. If anybody else has this problem, when your screen is on that blue/green/red screen, just plug it back in and run the ACTUAL UPDATE FILE (not the .bat file). It will install again, or atleast cancel out of the boot mode.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
I responded to your PM.
[Shadow ROM Development] ronangel:
Here's the link hope it will help to others

[Shadow ROM Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
Okay, everything is up and running. Love the new ROM and it seems issue free so far.

I am having a problem with my MMS settings though. I ran the smart network settings CAB which made my wifi stable, but I cant seem to receive any MMS.

I manually entered the IP settings in the T Mobile MMS and Smart MMS connections, but still no change.

Would the Arcsoft MMS program work with this ROM?

Another note, I dont know if this is missing from this ROM or from 6.1 in general; I read that in 6.1 starting to type someone's name in the Txt message field would call up the contact info like on WM pro. That only works on my phone if I start to enter the name, then delete a couple of letters.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Thanks for the link.
[Shadow ROM Development] -MyHTC-:
Are you with Smart Network?

The cab file was an attempt at setting up the Smart Network for the Philippines.

If it didn’t work I would recommend you download the Network Wizard that ronangel linked to.

Yes the Arcsoft MMS program works.

I don’t think that WM6.1 standard is capable of reading contact info like that.

I should say this has never worked right for me other people may have had better luck.
[Shadow ROM Development] The_Chrome_Coyote:
Ohhhh.. Okay. I got it now. The HTC Network Wizard worked wonders!

Thanx!

And I found out how to add people to the send SMS field without searching for them. Start to type their name, at least 3 characters then hit the center button, a drop down menu will appear with a list of contacts that match that name portion.
[Shadow ROM Development] antwanp:
Just installed the 5 September version, and I love it! For some reason, it feels more stable, more like my former BlackBerries (I never got used to the "wild west" feeling of Windows Mobile 6.0 and earlier), yet MUCH more flexible. (I'm odd, I know...)

Thanks MyHTC!

Installed the ROM and i must say that i love it..especially the sms app....it is also very fast compaired to the tmobile 6.1....anyway i have one lvl of concern....everything works except the wifi for some reason. I can connect to my homes network but everytime i try to run IE it just sits at LOCATING for a while and then says that it could not connect and that the connection was lost. Also, i ran the network setup app that was posted but it did not work. Any ideas on this would be great or is there a file i need to install to clear this up. Thanks in advance!!!!
