Welcome to XDA! Glad to see a fellow former Q'er over here! :cool:

BOO...SSSS....:eek:

Whoo Hoo! YEAH...!!! :D

Worldwide English sometimes WWE...if that's what your asking.

If you asking what's the difference between a ROM and a kitchen...

ROM = Flashed OS on the phone

Kitchen = Resources (on the PC) that make the ROM

OK, typically the ROM iteself shouldn't affect your radio. So if you flash a CDMA (make sure it's CDMA) your phone will function. Now there may be some picture mail things, or little tweaks like that; that could essentially get funky, but in a mater of speaking; ALL CARRIER ROMs function fine on VZW, SPRINT, US Cell, etc. VZW users have to play w/ pagepool simetimes since there carrier's a bunch of douche's and stripped there phone on them...but besides that, pretty simple.

Run this Unlocker (and read this thread): http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42503

IDK, never owned an iPhone...It took me like 10 min. Make sure you have a descent charge on your battery.

Confused, I think I answered this above...

Check out that same thread at PPC Geeks. Although there is fantastic applications, mods etc. which we can benefit from and use from this forum, PPC Geeks is CDMA heavy. I jump around betwen both. :D

StarROM is a good 6.5 ROM

Mighty Mike good 6.5

Juicy 8 has a nice TF3D2 and 6.5

After you unlock, you will find your life full of addiction with flashing new ROM's seeing what new...

NP

Also check around over there, see if any of the Caulkin's kitchen or any other's have some sys builds or carrier specific stuff for your US Cell TP. Might find something...

Have fun w/ your TP!

Guys,

I just got my TP2 over the weekend and am loving it!

One problem is the boys in the shop installed a crap load of software on it and have somehow disabled the Manila Start Menu. I'd like to get it back.

I have checked HKLM\Software\HTC\EnlargeMenu\EnableManilaStartMenu = 1(orginal TF3D startmenu) and it is set to 1

Has anyone got any ideas?

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] nickpope:
Okay, I found the problem - they had installed a "JUVS HTC Enlarge Start Menu"

I removed that and got my manila start menu back.

[G1 General] Breakthecycle2:
My suggestion would be to download the ROM again and reflash it.
[G1 General] cyanogen:
Most likely you are trying to flash a ROM that requires Haykuro's SPL (which changes the MTD partition sizes), and it's running out of space during the installation.
[G1 General] temporizer:
Thanks. I'll try his then.
[G1 General] temporizer:
I tried to install JACHero's rom, and it says here http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=522076 that he recommends Cyanogen's 1.2 recovery, which i have currently, and it still didn't work, same error, except instead of line 19, it was line 12.

What am i doing wrong if i used the correct SPL from the post and the recovery...?
[G1 General] the1wingedangel:
Give this a shot, we'll just double check everything, and try again, so as to rule out these possibilities. Don't skip any of these steps!

1st - Shut off your phone. Boot it back on, but into the SPL (camera+power buttons). Read the second line from the top, and the fourth line from the top. They will be your SPL and radio image, respectively. The second line should read "HBOOT-1.33.2005 (DREA10000)" and the fourth "RADIO-2.22.19.26I". Just to double check you have the ones needed if you are trying to install any hero rom and a few others too.

2nd - Delete the update.zip off of your sdcard (and computer, if it's there too) and re-download it. Put it back on your sdcard and rename to "update.zip". Make sure you have your file extensions un-hidden, so that its not actually "update.zip.zip".

3rd - Make sure you are wiping (alt+w) from inside your recovery loader, before you are applying the new update.zip (alt+s).

Unsolved Mystery, Case Closed.

Thanks for the help everyone. I have all the updated stuff, i guess my G1 just doesn't like the other roms.

I have no complaints with Cyanogens Rom, in fact, i like it very much. I think i will just keep it how it is.

Again, thanks everyone for your help.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
Recently, during testing TCP experience a symptom that also confirms my past experience. The most recent one I had was one of the network I connect to (I have 3 SIMs) having issue. This issue is gone after I did an OEM flash & hard reset before flashing again custom ROM.

I'm trying to understand better, thus starting this thread for all seniors and chef to educate us 'flashers' and 'noobs' ;)

Firstly, it was said that Kaiser has different structure that actually flashing OEM before custom ROM is not needed. On Hermes, it's needed.

Question What is the primary differences that requires this?

Secondly, based on TCP's post, it seems that there're some leftover behaviour from previous ROM and hard reset does not take it 100% away. From forensic computing, we know that some data is not totally overwritten and can be recovered using special tool.

Question

Our phone does not use the special data recover tool for sure, but why that behaviour occurs?

When it occurred (in TCP's case), was the setting correct but the behaviour went against the setting, or the setting was incorrect due to the leftover and the behaviour conforming the incorrect setting. Which one?

Flashing OEM: there're so many version of OEM, each has it's own 'flavor'.

Question

What is so different from going direct from custom ROM (which is not bloated, and should perform better) to another custom than going OEM first. And if OEM is flashed, how many times it actually being needed (flashes, hard reset) to ensure its 'clean'?

What is the criteria of 'clean'?

If I bought my Kaiser in Asia, should I go with AT&T stock OEM or it's better to use HK WWE?

Should we go through whole route (SPL, Radio, OS) or just the OS?

I hope by raising this, we can understand our phone better and have a safer flashing experience :D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] msd24200:
i don't have answers for all your questions, but i know for myself since i have a tilt, i flash the stock att rom before i flash a cooked rom, and the stock rom i've been flashing is the full .exe that has spl and radio with it. i feel that the rom your phone comes with should be your rom to flash before flashing a cooked rom and thats why i flash the att rom and not the htc rom on my tilt. Seems like i have alot less troubles when doing this. heres what i do with my tilt:

1.)flash stock att 6.1 rom

2.)tap screen when prompted

3.)hard reset

4.)tap screen/then do the screen alignment

5.)let the customization process do its thing

6.)after it's done and reboots i do another hard reset

7.)flash custom(cooked) rom

8.)tap screen when prompted

9.)do hard reset

10.)tap screen/then do the screen alignment, and i proceed from there with installing my aps and all.

this has always seemed to yield great results for me
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
msd24200,

That's what I do nowadays, after several times having issue and more convinced after reading TPC's experience.

However, the technicality (how the chipset is being written, what's the 'ghost effect' is being handled by hard reset) etc. intrigues me and perhaps by understanding this, a lot of newbies will 'listen' (as I didn't :o ) until more flashing started showing funny symptoms ;)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Flashing the stock ROM using the Ship.exe will use the Stock RUU instead of the custom one, so this will also Hard Reset your phone as part of the Flash.

I can't see any reason why a stock ROM would help, where a Hard Reset would not.

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
Dave,

Your response basically answers my last question in another way. To 'stretch' the argument further, how many cycle of hard reset it's required to make the phone 'clean' and load the latest ROM properly?

(Actually, what happen to the phone, the internal drive and the XIP chip by doing hard reset .. ?)
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] DaveShaw:
Just one AFAIK. As I said, the CustomRUU's we use, don't do a Hard Reset (so your phone isn't wiped when flashing Radio's / SPL's / Splashes). So you have to perform one manually, this should clear any remaining data?

Did I post this link for you to look at before? There's a bit of discussion with stepw on this.

Dave
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] denco7:
This is what I learned/understand, the Hermes has an extended rom. This ex. rom gets written to as you use your phone. Flashing a new rom does not over write this ex. rom because not all custom roms come with a written extended rom. So information from the previous rom is left on this extended rom. The only way to clean the extended rom is to flash the OEM rom first, and then the custom rom. Thereby cleaning the extended rom and allowing phone to write new info to the extended rom.

So on the Hermes, if the custom rom comes with an extended rom, there is no need to flash OEM first. If it doesn't, then you need to flash OEM first to avoid freezes and Spontaneous HR's.

The Kaiser does not have an extended rom so there is no discernible reason to flash OEM first. I never do (except on that rare occasion where I am flashing from a new chef and he insists, in his instructions. ) I have flashed over a hundred times, and can count on one hand how many times I have flashed OEM first.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SoberGuy:
Interesting. I have the HTC RUU, I think I'll start using that to flash ROMs, and use the Custom for radios and SPLs. I'm curious if that will make a difference in needing to flash a stock ROM...
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mbarvian:
personally, I've never had an issue with just flashing a ROM (no hard resets or stock rom or anything). If I find a ROM I like, I just download it and flash, that's it.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] garringm:

Flashing stock before TPC's Elite helps me out a lot. Prior to that, I never bothered with hard resets, and never really had an issue.

Dave, no, you didn't .. but thanks that you do .. especially this post is very enlightening. That's exactly what I'm looking for, the understanding of how the hardware being written/overwritten, that should answer the need of flashing OEM or not before custom and if hard reset is required.

Thanks for all that has responded .. ;)

I flash at least 10 times a day, and have never flashed OEM ROM or did a HR after flash!:D
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] curwiler:
I never did the OEM thing before either, until I flashed TPCs ROM and had very strange issues. Hard reset (few times!) didn't clear it up either, only after I went back to OEM ROM (ATT for me) and then flashed TPC did all my weirdness clear up.

Perhaps it hasn't been needed before, but maybe going to 6.5 has some special conditions? Or something about the way TPC built his ROM?

Or maybe it's the fact that flashing the OEM includes the Radio so there's some extra stuff being overwritten that doesn't with a custom ROM.

Or perhaps it was just the phase of the moon combined with the low sunspot activity.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SoberGuy:
I'm going to try his next ROM with the HTC RUU, to see if that makes a difference at all. I think that this will all get worked out in time. I don't really want to flash stock first, mainly because I'm too impatient to start playing with a new ROM lol. I will if necessary though, only takes a few extra minutes.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] gadgetologist:
Anagarika, you started one of the best threads I've seen since being a member. You started with very logical and good questions which are worthwhile to pursue. Your timing is perfect for me as I was trying to think of an approach that would be fruitful. I would encourage you continue to be logical and methodical to get to the answers. Real answers!

If you haven't already considered it, let me mention that it was implied that the flashing tools have limitations... no disrespect to the author is intended in my comment, but while everything he says may be true, the fact is the same tool is used to flash OEM and stock ROMs. So perhaps it was just an FYI for us all or I just didn't get the point.

This is a REAL issue. Before starting up on this board again, I used the previous kit and did my own ROMs and used other ROMs, with my tilt and blah blah. Sorry, not 10 times a day though... yikes dude! This week, when I started up again trying to revive my tilt, it hit me right away with OEM ROMs. So, I downloaded 6 OEM ROMs and the stock ROM. Because of the mood and the mode I was in, I was only looking for success and not experimentation and thus I don't have exact data. But, I can tell you that once I used the stock ROM a couple of previously "problem OEM ROMs" are working.

For me this important information should be used to find out why and how it can be improved..... That is of course if the developers want to continue to develop.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SoberGuy:
Yet Dave said:

I take that to mean that the tool isn't exactly the same. There is a difference.

Now, the real question, for me (since I don't understand these things) is this:

Is there any difference, large or small, in a hard reset on the phone and the (I think) task 28 command issued by the OEM RUU? Dave? Anyone?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] ai6908:
I theory it shouldnt make a difference. I rarely use RUU as I know I have fried a MB cuz of that (I am sure I had something to do with it as well:D)! And had an expensive brick!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
Exactly my point. I didn't want to dilute TPC's thread as he's doing a wonderful job and his thread should be about his ROM ;)

To put it another way is that:

Do we know what exactly being done on our device memory (XIP, NAND, etc.) during a ROM flash, during a Radio flash, during a HR, etc.

By knowing what's happening, we know better what approach to take. For example, most cooked ROM is sized 50-80 Mb (newer ones). Those OEM's are usually about 100Mb. I guess by flashing OEM, it overwrites a lot of the space left behind by previous ROM. However, in my view, flashing custom that has smaller size will have some parts of OEM left over (using space only as comparison). This might be useful if all chef's do the cooking based on OEM and bugs hunting also based on OEM first. This will give almost a 'standard' benchmark against which all other bugs are troubleshot.

I suggest (to myself too) to re-read the thread Dave pointed, especially the post I remarked. I've not yet understood fully what it really means, so I'll do a re-read.

As a side note, I came from UIQ/Symbian before .. and it was discussed they used NAND while WM uses XIP .. (which I don't quite fully grasp also) .. and there's such thing as format internal drive and flashing OS too.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] SoberGuy:
OK, just an update here.

I flashed TPC's new test ROM this morning. I have always had issues flashing his ROMs. The only solution for me was to flash OEM ROM first, and then flash TPC ROM. However, this morning I flashed TPC ROM with OEM RUU. I know everyone says it shouldn't make a difference, that the Task 28 issued by OEM ROM is the same as a Hard Reset done on the device. This morning, the flash went perfect, the device runs smooth, and I have no issues.

The only real difference this time around, aside from using the OEM RUU, is that the TPC ROM is based on 21820. This is my first flash with 21820, so either build 21820 solved the problem, or using the OEM RUU did.

Just my experience!
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] Pisca:
In my experience, I use to flash only ROMS from a cooker, before it was Anryl, and now from TPC, it's very rare to move to another, once I found stability in the ROMS presented.

I allways do Clear Storage before flash a new one, and after the flash another Clear Storage, I know it is not exactely the same as hard reset thru keys

When I notice some hangs or weird issues, I use to flash a WM 6.1 Shipped Rom without SPL or Radio followed by a Clear Storage, just to clean, after that everything back to normal for long time
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] mharrissmith:
Never had any problems with flashing cooked ROMS , i have tested around 8/10 ROMS without problem (mainly Hyperdragon and PDACorner Ultimate both WM 6.1 and 6.5). Never flashed a stock ROM before, and never had any problems.

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
I don't know, but it seems 6.5 ROM requires stock first while 6.1 doesn't. This is based on my previous experience. I wasn't a believer on stock flashing until I started 6.5.

YMMV.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] OndraSter:
I'll also drop my .02 here.

I have got original HTC Kaiser (KAIS130). I never flash stock ROM and everyhing (TPC, Abu, ...) ROMs work OK with no probs. Friend has got HTC Kaiser (KAIS130) too and also never flashes stock. On the other way, another friend has AT&T Tilt and after first WM6.5 he had to flash stock, because he had some problems with accessing memory card if I remember right.

From what I see it looks that only Tilt's need flashing stock.:eek:

But it's maybe just coincidence. Really have no idea since I haven't taken apart any HTC yet.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] anagarika:
Really interesting. Mine is Kaiser Kais130. No stock will have problem on TPC's ROM. Previously on WM 6.1 ROM, no issue without stock.

I guess the post Dave pointed out is true. Sometime, the ROM portion of the hardware requires several hard resets to settle, thus resulting in better performance. Perhaps some hardwares are just better at settling down faster ??
