Hi everyone,

I've recently discovered the huge power savings to be had by using the auto-disconnect feature where data connections aren't active. However, I sometimes like to be able to bring up a data connection while I'm on the phone. When auto disconnect is disabled you can do this but when you have it enabled, it seems impossible to keep the connection running.

DiamondTweak's comment on this tweak notes that it "may" prevent data connections during phone calls. What I'd like to know is if there's some way to stop it disconnecting during calls when I want to be using a data connection, but still keep my Touch Pro's HSUPA detached when I'm not using a data connection?

Any suggestions?

(NB. I've posted this here as I think it's a phone agnostic tweak).

Is there currently anyway to change the IMEI on a Treo 750? I know it's illegal... I'm just curious :D
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mccune:
Thread should be in the Treo 750 section..

Why would you want to change your IMEI on the device?

Remember that it's also noted behind the battery so in case you want to send it for repairs under a different IMEI I don't give you much chance :)
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] inneyeseakay:
The threads in the 750 section don't tell you how... They just all blabber on & on about it being illegal and asking why you would want to do it, etc. No one tells you how to go about changing it. I'm not trying to send it in under repairs...
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] DaveShaw:
Because it's illegal, no one on xda developers will offer you advice. Sorry.

Dave
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] swaddaswadda:
is there any link that this is possible changing imei, like stores that do this in a country it is legal to do this ? can be legal in some countries right ?
[Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking] mccune:
Can't imagine that there is a country where this would be legal.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mrkaczor:
Due to my own problems with getting informations about issues mentioned in topic, I'm posting this thread...

Idea is simple: could anyone explain strictly, what is SPL, RADIO etc., PLEASE?? The reason is, that there is really a lot of informations about it on the forum, but as they are everywhere - they are "nowhere"...;/

In advance: sorry, that I'm not spending hours on searching for answers, but the idea is to collect all this basic informations in ONE place...

Hope you will understand and won't shout at me...x)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] techntrek:
I bet this page will answer all of your questions. All the basic information is in this one place: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Athena
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mrkaczor:
Ye, I was there of course, but sorry - no informations found about WAHT particular things ARE, only HOW TO do some things (e.g. how to make them works)... Can't find anything in "Athena for beginners" (and Athena Manual), Athena FAQ's and so on... Or am I blind...??
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] imaginarynumber:
I have to agree with you that for noobs it can be quite overwhelming.

Here is a list of what everything stands for

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Acronyms

The radio is the part of the phone that enables communication with the cell towers and the gps satellites. Upgrades can help to improve signal strength, battery life and gps responses.

Anyone can upgrade the radio on their windows mobile phone without making any other changes to the phone (assuming that the radio was designed for your phone and not another phone- the latter is possible but requires extra work).

Upgrading the radio is quite straight forward- select a radio rom that you want and then either put it on an sd card or flash it from active sync (xp) or wmdc (vista).

This will have no impact on the operating system (o/s) and as such you will not lose anything.

Upgrading the o/s involves wiping the existing o/s- in this case you will lose all of the info on your phone- you can use 3rd party programs to backup/restore.

There are limitations on the o/s roms that you can use. Official upgrades from the supplier/maker will be straight forward- other (better/newer) roms might require you to make your phone cid unlocked so that you can install the rom.

Here is info on making your phone cid unlocked

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=315831

This will also allow you to use radio roms not initially designed for your phone

There are other considerations to take into account regarding the memory allocation in the phone. Some of the o/s roms require you to change the memory allocation- more to the o/s and less to the running programs memory. These are defined as spl1.2 or the hacked spl3.5.

To hard spl your phone

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=316846

Once the above has been done you MUST ensure that the rom SPL matches the spl on your phone- I have made the mistake of using the wrong rom for my spl and ****ed up my phone before.

Should you wish to downgrade your spl then read

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=405604

If you forget which spl you have then enter the phone bootloader by pressing the camera button and using the stylus in the reset hole at the same time.

You can find out which radio and o/s you have by going to settings/system/device info

I hope this helps- please ask if you need more help- it is ages since I last up/downgraded my phone so hopefully any errors here will be highlighted by others.

Be warned that no rom is perfect (not even the stock roms) and that upgrading is not allowed under the terms of the warranty and is not with out risk.

It is fun though...
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mrkaczor:
Wonderful!! Thank you a lot, imaginarynumber! This informations are really usefull :) Only two questions at the moment...

OK, but how can I check, or is my device CID-locked or maybe not...? (I'm not the first owner, so I've got no idea...) Or maybe unlocking already unlocked device wont cause any additional problems...?

So the only difference is a size of memory allocations?? Are this amounts constant for each SPL? And so the rule "higher (version) is better" doesn't works here...?

Thank you a lot for all this work one more time...:)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] imaginarynumber:
hi mrkazor

If the phone is not cid unlocked then you would not be able to use any rom other than the maker's/supplier's rom, so for example if you had a cid lock tmobile then when trying to flash it would check the signature of the rom and if it found that it was not a t-mobile rom it would not allow you to flash it.

I believe that you can check the cid status with mtty using the info 2 command (its a telnet program).

I think that it is ok to cid unlock a phone that is already cid locked (but it would be safer to check/ask in the cid unlock post).

Re the spl, there are two allocation sets, spl1.2 and 3.5 with the latter taking up more memory for the o/s. In general the higher spl version roms have more bells and whistles but there is also the risk of more incompatibility crashes/problems with the extra clever new programs. Newer windows mobile versions will require increasingly higher spl/memory allocations.

To date I have never found a perfect rom- some are better than others depending on your requirements.

I went as far as wm6.1 from wm5 and played with many different wm6.1 roms.

At the time of writing MichyPrima has a wm6.5 that looks quite impressive.

The key thing to remember with any roms is that they are based on the buggy windows ce platform.

Good luck
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mrkaczor:
You were right - dont't know about CID-lock, but I had't had SIM-lock on my device before for sure, and now I have already passed all 3 steps (Sim-unlock, CID-unlock) of Olipro's Athena Unlocker, having no additional problems :D And what could be more interesting: succeed even despite Windows 7 on my PC ;) I've also updated radio to 1.57, but still having SPL 1.2... In the future will be needed 3.5 (e.g. for WM6.5 by Michy :cool: ), but I have no idea how to upgrade it :confused: Is the SPL avaliable as a file (like radio) to inclose it to RUU...?
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] imaginarynumber:
hi mrkaczor

Sorry an ommission on my behalf.

There is no single spl upgrade per se. You need to do the ap4 upgrade which will move you to spl3.5 at the same time.

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=387409

After that you can then try any of the other spl3.5 roms or if you ever want to go back to an earlier stock rom you will need the spl downgrader, found here

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=405604

These forums are the best single source of info for htc owners but the info is not always as easy to find as perhaps it could be. I guess that there are very good reasons for this but that is cold comfort to a newbie. That said many of the memebers (much wiser than me!!!) are willing to devote a lot of time to helping others. I think that some of the more experienced and established members like to pretend to be grumpy sods... yet they still help those in dire needs.

Welcome to the "club".

Hope this helps
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] techntrek:
Hope I didn't come across as a "grumpy sod". I thought the wiki was fairly thorough and covered the OP's questions.

One thing I can tell you from experience - if you have 3G available in your area, you want to upgrade to radio 1.58. It has a large network speed improvement over 1.57 and all earlier radio roms.
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] mrkaczor:
imaginarynumber, yes - this DO helps...xD Thanks one more time :)

But does it works correctly?? Couse author of the thread about Radio v1.58 writes:

So does 3G works on your device?? Because I have it available in my town, so I'd rather have efficient video calls...

BTW. And how it is about GPS signal? How long is your device waiting for it? Cause I've had radio v1.45 before, and it took ages for my x7500 to connect with satelites:/ And no chance for that inside the building (and for example my father's Mio p560 connects even from the building, of course not too far from some windows... Could Mio have better radio than HTC??:P)
[Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo Upgrading] imaginarynumber:
Hi Techntrek

My slight wasn't aimed at you, honestly. I recently revisited the wiki after not having played with my ameo for ages and found that although it is comprehensive it is not "easy" to follow.

My grumpy sod reference was aimed more at the SuperGods such as Olipro- I have seen how much hard work he puts in so I assume that it is some kinda elder statesman bravado ;)

I think the main problem is that there are too many assumptions re the experience of the reader. As a first timer it is difficult to follow.

Some of the threads in this forum become outrageously long, for example,

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=477235

The above is a thread for the touch pro- it is hoped that users will post problems there rather than starting a new thread- there are over 2000 posts- how helpful is that.

I hope that I am not coming across as ungrateful but who has the time to go through such long posts- not even knowing if their problem is covered there or not.

I am unable to provide a better solution and thus respect people such as mrkaczor who have the guts to ask basic questions in-spite of the fear of being shot down. By the same token I also respect people like you (techntrek) who are happy to help others- keep it up

-------------------

Mrkaczor

With regard to the radio options- we have little choice with regard to radios compared to some other handsets- I never noticed any real improvement in GPS- others have. I never make video calls so issues here have never been a concern.

It seems that one radio might suit one mobile subscriber more than others. It might be helpful to mention in the radio thread which provider you are with and ask others on the same network which radio worked best for them.

Good luck

[Touch HD General] EpiphanyNL:
Allmost all ROMS are in english. There are ways you can flash them without using hard spl.
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:

can you please tell me how? :)
[Touch HD General] EpiphanyNL:
Read this for flashing without Hard spl: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=462347

Why would you want the country code for taiwan? You dont need it when flashing another ROM.
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
i read that i need to know so i know which rom to download?

[Touch HD General] EpiphanyNL:

You can find enough ROMS in this thread btw, read carefully and you will find them :)
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:

using Hard SPL, Soft SPL, or USPL?

im really lost on that..

and which one should i use?
[Touch HD General] EpiphanyNL:
Cant really help you there, I use hard SPL, but I guess it's just what your preference is in that.
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:

[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
anyone? im kind of a newbie

i need help please

im going to be getting my touch hd soon in chinese

and i need to change it to english

help

thank you!:)
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Its not very hard to be honest

You must flash HardSPL first to be able to flash any rom and hardspl will work for blac100 and blac120

More info and instruction about HardSPL

Tips about flashing the rom

Use fully charged device

* Switch off your device by holding the Power button untill a menu pops up

* Go to bootloader by holding Volume down + Power button at the same time

* Connect your device to your PC

* Start BlackStoneCustomRUU.exe and follow the onscreen instruction's

There are countless ROM's out there and everyone has different tastes so there is no point asking any questions on which is better etc etc etc.

I am curretnly using Duttys 2.3 rom and would recommned it or Laurentius26 V9.0

Hope this helps!:D

Laurentius26
[Touch HD General] alvinswim:
I got mine from hong Kong when I was there in Feb, it was in chinese too. then I went to the wiki page, downloaded the Hard SPL, once that was done I just picked any ROM on the wiki page, I chose Dutty 1.7 at the time. copied the NBH file to the root of the SD card, made sure the name of the NBH file was BLACIMG.nbh and then used restarted the device with the key presses mentioned in the wiki and flashed it to english. MAKE sure you have at least 50% charge before you start.

the WWE versions are the english roms. I believe its mentioned in the wiki too.

Since then I've maybe flashed like 10 or more times and tried different roms. it doesn't matter which rom you pick. its a matter of personal preference. just take the time to read the wiki in detail and you'll be fine.

if you are getting a retail touch HD it will come with an 8GB SDHC micro SD and the usual accessories.

as of now I'm on dutty's 2.3
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
im sorta confused on how to install Hardspl

i read the instructions..but im lost

do you think you guys can help me out?

like explain in an easier way?

sorry for the inconvenience

can i also use USPL?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Instructions

Download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty folder.

Unsigned_HardSPL_for_Blackstone_OliNex.zip

You must Have Phone Sync'd with PC in Windows Mobile!!!

Run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe on PC,

make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.).

if you are on vista, launching as Administrator is recommended,

Follow steps in the RUU

check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar

press Yes on phone if asked.

Some notes: When RUU says it will hard reset, do not worry, it is not going to do that. also when it says the flash will take 10 minutes, ignore that, it will only take a minute or so.

Device should go to a tricolour screen now that says 1.07.OliNex, the SSPL version, which is temporary.

In a bit unusual way, it will take a few seconds for the RUU to detect the device, but do not worry, as soon as the "USB" text on the tricolour screen shows up, RUU will see device.

SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.

To confirm you got it installed,

go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) (Switch off your device by holding the Power button untill a menu pops up > Go to bootloader by holding Volume down + Power button at the same time)

verify the screen shows 1.14.OliNex, which is the Hard-SPL version.
[Touch HD General] ionrage:
I just got my Touch HD over the weekend and I used USPL so that I don't void the warranty:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=462347

However, you need to have XP. Tried it on Vista but not successful. Luckily I had an old XP laptop stuffed away somewhere :)
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
oh really?

when it says

"Execute blac_uspl.exe;" do i just find the file ont he computer and double click it? or do i have to like install it using the phone?

and " If everything goes well, your device will restart and SPL version label should read "1.14.USPL" indicating that USPL was loaded successfully."

once that is done then... am i done?

this next part is when i want to flash a rom right?

("You can then start RUU update to flash RUU_signed.nbh. Once RUU update is completed, device will restart using regular flashed SPL.

If you want to flash from SD card instead, make sure your SD card is not inserted when you enter the bootloader originally.

SPL will try to install it and would fail if blacimg.nbh is not signed by HTC. Insert the card after "USB" label comes up in SPL but before running USPL.

You can run "blac_uspl.exe ?" to get command line parameter help. Only 1 parameter is accepted and that is the name of an SPL file you want to load. You can load an MFG SPL or HSPL. USPL automatically takes care of allowing unsigned/cooked ROM flashing with any SPL you use.")

man. i dont have XP

thers no way on vista?

thanks for the inconvenience.
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
do i have to have the phone connected to the computer before i run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe?

what does it mean when it says make sure it is launched from a local drive?

or a network drive?

where are the steps for the RUU?

sorry for all the questions!
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Yes, you need phone sync'd to pc using your usb cable before running HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe?

What I mean by local drive is your C:/ drive or local disk and not by using other drives you may have i.e. G:/, H:/, J:/ etc

When you run HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe a screen will appear on your pc and it will have these steps on it for you to follow. i.e. just follow these steps
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
okay so i have downloaded HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe.

it says extract it so that means i cannot open it from the zip?

is it okay if it is in a folder in the C:/ drive when i launch it?

so first off. i connect the phone to the pc.

( do i put it in bootloader mode?)

what will show on the phone when i connect it?

and when i connect it. i just plug the usb in the phone and the computer and thats it?

then i launch HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe

follow the steps..

then im done?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
Yes you need to extract it from zip as it will not run from within zip folder

Personally I ran it just from the desktop, i.e. I put HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe on my desktop

when you have your phone connected and in bootloader mode at the bottom on the screen it should say 'usb'.

then launch HardSPLWrapper_Blackstone.exe, follow steps, then your done.

As I said put phone back into bootloader mode afterwards and verify the screen shows 1.14.OliNex, which is the Hard-SPL version.
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
okay if it doesnt show 1.14.OliNex then i didnt do it right?

and can i brick my phone if i mess up a step?

oh and

1) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC! if not, get it from http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/d...DisplayLang=en

2) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobi...ce-center.mspx

do i have to have those?

and what are they?
[Touch HD General] Fallen Spartan:
okay if it doesnt show 1.14.OliNex then i didnt do it right? Correct

and can i brick my phone if i mess up a step? if you follow steps you'll be fine like the thousands that have done it before you, but as always there is no guarantees

1) make sure you have .NET framework installed on your PC. Yes install this

2) if you have vista, WMDC update is recommended. This is just used for syncing phone and can be found using google.
[Touch HD General] kevin6192:
okay then i think this may be my last question for now

because i dont have my phone yet

i will be recieving it this sunday

when i get my phone which will be brand new.

i fully charge it? then go through the setup of the phone?

or setup of the phone. then fully charge it.

and before i install Hard SPL

do i have to go through the setup of the phone?

or can i just charge it and go into bootloader mode? and install Hard SPL?
