According to the Wiki, it's 0.82. I don't think it'll really matter though, as long as it's not HardSPL.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] palosjr:
ok thanks. Thats what I needed to know. So should I just leave it at .79? I think I have the .82 SPL downloaded but im not sure what version it is for sure.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
The Tmobile SPL is 0.82 so if you have it then I would advise you to flash that back onto your phone as SPL0.79 seems to be a stock HTC version and would identify a new rom flash to anyone who looked at it.

where did this go wrong or is it?

one time while flashing a rom i moved the mouse and it touched the top task bar area of the windows mobile device center window and it closed. i thought it just minimized but it did indeed close. it went into a flash rom recovery and it did complete.

however here is where it gets weird as far as everything i have read on flashing, the winmo device center widow is supposed to stay open and connected until the phone reboots, even during tri color right?

this thing is disconnecting everytime and its freaking scary. im thinking "ok this is gonna be the one time **** goes wrong" and POW bricked phone. can someone please refresh my memory about the actual things im supposed to see happening during a flash process and if this closing is premature or normal... thanks in advance... :eek:
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] palosjr:
ok thanks. Will the relocker tool work with the .82 SPL or do i need to flash it from the sd card? If from the sdcard, what do i need to name the file, RHODIMG.nbh or RUU_IMG.nbh ?

Thanks for the help.

Hello, sweet place you guys have here! Lots of great info on making an excellent phone better!

I'm trying to get some straight answers here.. Brand new tilt 2 At&t owner

Trying to run HardSPL, when I hook my phone up to Active sync and run the program the phone turns black and Async disconnects. I have read it was suppose to reconnect and the program continues, well this does not happen. I wait until HardSPL says there was an error.

Any known fix's?

I have a quick question about flashing.

I have been using costum roms for a while now, and every time I flash I take out my sd card & my sim card.

Now ... I understand why i should take out my sd card, but why the sim card?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] mskip:
Do you really want to be going through autosetup/ UC install after the rom has been flashed and you get a call or message come through that causes a problem with the install? Its really just a precautionary measure to safeguard against the phone doing something you dont want it to when you are trying to flash your phone or after its flashed and being set up.

Stock ROM install after flashing to Energy ROMs

I have quick question.

I did HardSPL first time and then flashed to Energy ROM.

Now I installed second version of energy ROM and this time I have some issues like..

One for the speaker phone issue and second is that my mute botton on the back of the phone is not working.

I read in some threads where people say that always flash to the stock ROM from this thread (http://www.mobilitydigest.com/forums...ead.php?t=2113) between energy ROM flashings? OR should I flash to AT&T ROM from HTC website? What will happen to HardSPL?

Because I read that HardSPL once installed, I do not need to reinstall? So how do I flash to stock ROM? I am so confused... pls help.......

new TP2 user-which ROm and why?

I just bought a Tmobile branded TP2 but dont want to be pushed into upgrading my data plan from what I have which I know will work.

Is unlocking all thats necessary to keep them from pushing this through the IMEI or is unbranding/new ROm necessary.

Lastly, of all the Roms I have reviewed its quite hard to make a decision.

If I just want the latest WM ROM that will unbrand me from TMobile USA but keep my access to their 3G data, etc without connection issue due to settings config changes in the ROm, if thats even an issue, which one should I choose?

PS-is there a way to do any of this, unlock, unbrand, upgrade ROM without inserting my tmo sim in the meantime?

TIA,

Chris
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] cr1960:
Chris, welcome to XDA.

Everything you need to know about flashing a custom ROM is here: http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=550540

There is also some great information contained in the Wiki.

You will need to look through the various ROM threads and probably flash a few to find what suits you best - unfortunately there is no 'perfect' ROM.

There is so much information contained on this site, and you will find search is your best friend.

I suspect this thread will shortly be closed by a mod, so I hope you don't get flamed too much before that happens :)

Good luck with your TP2.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
*Merged with the Flashing Thread*

I'm not sure I follow what you are on about. The unlocking we have here allows the flashing of custom ROMs and the use of phones on other networks.

You don't need the SIM in other than to perform Hard SPL (I think - you can always try without first :)).

I'd suggest one of NRG's ROMs, the one in my signature is the latest and is very stable and packed with new stuff. After flashing ROMs you should be prompted by "HTC Connection Setup" to select your network, this will re-add your data settings.

HTH.

I've merged this thread so that's why your post seems oddly out of context ;) :D

[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bluevmax92:
you would not want the phone to ring while flashing... thats what i have heard...

bad bad bad :(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] bluevmax92:
dunno how they do it but they can tell if you have flashed before. come up off of the five bucks on the link they provide and pay via paypal and it is immediately accessible. i had to do this with my nephews phone. it was flawless after the payment processed and his phone is now unlocked and customizable...

roms from europe

And as I know that the frequency output is hardware controlled and I am using a tmo phone on a tmo network which includes their 3g band, will any of these Euro based roms have any software affect on achieving 3g data connections on my USA network?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 4heid:
will any of the cooked Rom, ie NRG's, etc, effectively unbrand the phone as well and do they standardly SIM unlock the phones?

I havent found this info yet as to whether its uniform.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] DaveShaw:
ROMs such as NRG's replace the entire operating system on your phone, so anything branded will be lost.

The ROM's don't do the SIM unlocking, this has to be done via a tool or via an unlock code service.

Ta,

Dave
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] 4heid:
so in all reality will these Roms or unlocking remove any of the aspects that Tmo's ROM would have placed on the phone to transmit info to them in regards to the phone or is that solely an IMEI issue?

I have heard of instances where people are not necessarily forced but net function ceases in some partial way where the phone diverts to a Tmo upgrade screen to get you to upgrade your data service with them.

I would like to remove any or all such possibilities if it is in fact linked to any software currently on the phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
The ROMs can't alter the hardware antenna inside your phone, so if it's only designed for T-Mo's 3G then as I understand it flashing any other ROM won't affect that, it'll still only pick up T-Mo's 3G.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You don't *need* to flash to a stock ROM each time. Some people might suggest you do, but IMHO that's way over-the-top and unnnecessary. My own recommendation is that you hard reset on the ROM that you're going to be replacing (which will lose all your settings, messages, contacts etc, so back them up first !), then flash your new ROM, then hard reset again, and you should be good to go.

TP2 WM 6.5 Updating issues

I am sure I am doing something stupid but I sync up and get to the install and as it begins it cuts out my sync connection and it errors out. I then have to restart my phone because its got the solid multi-colored screen up. Tried it on 2 different computers, not sure what I am missing. Hopefully something stupid and easy

What exactly are you trying to do? HardSPL? Flash Rom? Flash Radio?

If you already have HArdSPL flashed then you can flash Roms and Radios via the microsd card method. If you are having problems putting HardSPL on your device then try a different usb port, preferably one thats connected directly to your motherboard and not on a hub.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] LostScooter:

If i understand well, just download any stock ROM of your choice. and follow the same flashing instruction given . it will not affect your HardSPL, i have flashed about three stock roms on my AT&T Tilt 2. from what i read so far flashing to stock ROM solves some these issues. and in some threads/posts you will find cabs that fix such issues or registry editing does the trick( not a pro at that). i hope it helps, i am also new at this

Just follow the instructions on the first post to put HardSPL on your device, then choose any of the WWE roms in the rom development forum and flash using activesync as also described fully in the first post.

Ok try *THIS* rom for starters its by an excellent chef named Joshkoss who is well travelled in cooking roms for all devices so it should be very stable.

Make sure you have installed HardSPL on your phone as described in the first post. Disable any antivirus programs before flashing and if you get and error codes then post them here so I can tell you what you are doing wrong.

Download the full rom from the link I gave you and flash it via activesync.

I have a Sprint TP2 on WM 6.1, but I am only using the GSM radio on Rogers Wireless. Im new to ROM flashing...Can I flash my phone with a GSM ROM?

Also is there a way of intalling WM 6.5 on Sprint TP2 since there is no official update as of yet? Because 6.1 seems to be little laggy

Thanks
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You're using a GSM radio ? Are you sure ? Because I don't think that will work on a CDMA phone. Also, if you have CDMA phone (RhodW), you need to use a CDMA ROM, go to the CDMA sub-forum here, or check out ppcgeeks.com who have lots of CDMA ROMs.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] =JSG=:
What I mean by GSM radio is....under the phone settings I have GSM Only selected. I am running on EDGE but once in a while it runs on 3G.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Ah ok, gotcha. You can tell the type of your phone if you look under the battery, where the serial number is. Yours will says something like "RHOD400" or "RHOD500". Even though you can run on GSM as well as CDMA, it's a CDMA "Worldphone", so you must not use the GSM ROMs or radios from this forum, they could brick your phone.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] =JSG=:
Oh Wow good thing I posted here before lol, What about my second question?

Is there a way of installing WM 6.5 on the Sprint TP2? I love the phone but it has some lag:(
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
Yes there is. Go to the CDMA sub-forum here and check out the ROMs there. Or you might be better checking out ppcgeeks.com , because that site is more oriented towards CDMA phones, and they have lots of ROMs that you can choose from (e.g. NRG's ROMs for CDMA are there, but not here, only his GSM versions).

Well done for checking first though ! Lots of people just flash the wrong ROM version and then end up with a phone that won't boot ! (luckily that can be fixed, but it appears that flashing a GSM radio on a CDMA phone is a lot worse)

Hi

Maybe my question is stupid, but how to backup my current ROM before flashing the new one? If I did not like the new, I want to return the old one (factory ROM).
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] GSLEON3:
Absolutely. Any type of image can be flashed on wince based devices from SD Card. The key is using a correctly byte typed file (Byte type tells the loader if it is a splash screen, diagnostic tool, radio, etc...) Also, SPL's should be byte typed as a DIagnostic SPL & then named RHODDIAG.nbh.

Be careful tho. Flashing an SPL to splash region is troublesome, but okay. However, if you byte type it as a radio or somehow use a splash nbh and flash that as a SPL, well then you have big problems. Jocky, myself, & other like Oli & Comnex were able to find security loop holes in the earlier HTC devices, but HTC closely mointors this site (which is good & bad) & uses our developments to fix things (Good) & also to close security loop holes (Sometimes very bad). Unfortunately the Kaiser loop hole we exploited that allowed FrankenKaiser to "reload" a new SPL theu Dag & subsequently Dload mode has been closed. This means that playing around is much more demanding to fix. AS IN YOU BETTER HAVE A JTAG BOX & KNOWLEDGE OF ITS USE.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development] steviewevie:
You can't easily backup your current ROM. But you can probably find your old ROM either on your carrier's website, on HTC's site, or linked from this forum. Is yours an HTC-branded phone, or carrier branded ? Which region ?

Didn't see this addressed earlier in the thread -

I've been trying to flash my rom back to the stock rom, as I have a warranty issue.

The problem is, when I attempt to flash from the SD card, I get an error that no configuration file was found for half a second and then the rainbow screen returns.

I CANNOT flash from activesync due to the warranty issue, I HAVE to use SD flashing. Any ideas on what is happening? I've dled multiple roms, renamed the .nbh file, and copied them to the root of the card - in fact, it's the only thing on the card. It won't flash ANY rom I've found so far. A little help???

Touch Pro 2, ROM Update via SD-Card?

Hi,

I have updated the ROM on my TP2 some time ago and it was working fine.

Since a few days, I am not able to connect the device by USB, tried different cables, different PCs, also reset the TP2 but still does not reposnd to USB, although it still charges the battery.

Since this is a T-Mobile Device (MDA Vario 5) I need to reinstall the origianl WM6.5 ROM onto it.

Is there a way y doing this from the SD Card?

Different people prefer one method over the other. I guess microsd card flashing is safer as your pc could freeze or you could have a power loss half way through flashing via activesync which would give you a bad flash.

Personally I always flash via activesync but if you are away from home alot it can be useful to keep several roms or radios in a subdirectory on your storage card that can be flashed at any time.
