Hi. I'd like to start with saying that this may have been answered already, but it is possible I haven't hound it yet. I read these:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=505377

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=480271

and still haven't found an answer to my question (maybe I didn't pay enough attention? If so, sorry, and point me straight to the ansers, please ;))

1) Anyway, I'd like to know what is exactly the purpose of flashing my phone with a new unofficial rom. I assume that because it is unofficial, it lets me run some homebrew software from here, right? (I haven't really read much about this, but I see there are nice tweaking tools, and I like the new touch keyboard as well)

2)

* And what if the benefit of a new rom, in general? Stability fixes? usability additions? What is this rom? Is this like a new touch flo 3d version, or is it independent from UI interface, and it's like updating BIOS in a PC?

Is a new unofficial rom something like this:

http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533

+ ability to run homebrew?

* I remember seeing some screenshots from the touch2, and there were some nice features, like a search bar embedded in the Internet tab and a new Calendar tab I don't have. Will these be available after a rom upgrade?

3)I read about the ability to change phone's settings and language by editing Registry. Is it only available with unofficial rom?

4)How can see the status of my langauge's translation for Touch Flo? Where can I contribute? (Polish language)

5)I reckon using/flashing at least some of the software available here voids my warranty. What does, and what does not?

6)Does flashing with new rom erase my contacts/etc.?

7) Is flashing dangerous? Is there any possiblity of bricking the phone and not getting it back to work?

PS.:

I have Touch HD,

Rom version: 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE

Touch Flo 3D version: 1.3.35350.1_1630.38

SPL-1.14.0000

Hello all. Been a lurker here for ahwile but finally had a question so figured i would sign up.

Ive been working on a panel that is basically a front end to a parts search page online.

Ive got it somewhat working but am having some issues.

Basically what i need to do is take input from the user, pass that into a url and then pass that url into the

<a href="extended://app:start?app=iexplore.exe&arg=http://my.url.here">Open URL</a>

ive been trying to do this via javascript but i cant seem to get it... is it possible to use a java function such as self.location = "extended://app:start ect ect " to open up the link in IE?

the only way i can get IE to open is via <a href="extended.......>

sorry im not in anyway a java or html guru and havent done anything like this in years so please forgive my ignorance..

any help would be appreciated..

Well, I searched for the same answer for a couple of days on this forum and could not find it. At least I found the same Question right here!!

YES, yes, if you only want to flash the radio, you also rename it to KAISIMG.nbh.

Hi there,

I'm looking for a base 6.1 or 6.5 rom with all the rubbish removed without ANY 3rd party application so I can start from scratch for complete customization.

I have found such a rom for the Kaiser and other phones but the closet with the raphael I could find was a Offical HTC stripped ROM which still have alot of junk on.

Basically I'm looking for a bare windows rom with stuff like windows live taken off it.

I would cook my own from scratch but I'm fairly new to this and wouldn't know what I should leave. But I do have a good idea of what cabs I need and want to install from looking at other peoples ROMs for good functionality.

Does anyone know of a ROM like this?

Thanks!
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] Bruce Inman:
If you cook your own, you just leave out the EXT packages, everything else is OEM and generally necessary.

Otherwise you'll find lite ROMs with no Manila but probably not a 100% stripped down version because there's no demand for it.

It would just be the base ROM from the kitchen w/o EXT packages installed.
[Touch Pro, Fuze General] peeps:

Sorry some of those questions probably seem stupid I've been doing alot of reading though theres alot to work out at the start.

If anyone has any more really stripped roms like Da_g's I would really appreciate it.

Thanks

[Touch CDMA General] beanage:
Hey there, just want to say before I tell you my problems that this forum is cool. I recieved a lot of useful information and tools for my phone here. Thanks.

Onto the problems!

Okay so first of all, I was given an HTC Vogue on the Telus network from a buddy because my previous phone fell in the pool. I was having a blast with this phone, 'twas the best thing that ever happend to me.

Now before I get into specifics, I'd like to mention that I've never been able to connect to activesynce because the computer would not recognize the USB cable. I've never been able to fix that problem.

Recently I've been having problems with my phone. Sometimes it would take a little spill onto the floor from my lap because I'd forget it's there or whatever. The back casing would come off and the battery would come out. No worries, I would just pop it back in and off I go. But this time it would boot up to the Telus screen with the buncha red writing.

M 03
B 01
P DCAAXOM-4350H
R 3.41.00
D 3.07

After that text disappears, the phone would freeze at the Telus screen and either: a) No LEDs would flash b) a yellow LED would come on c) THe phone would be left on that screen and just shut off after a while.

So i did some research and found that I could preform a hard reset. Voila! It worked like a charm and I was off using my phone again, but it had barely been 24 hours before the phone froze and I had to reset. And the phone would revertback to the previous problem. Hard reset would NOT work. It would reset the phone but still freeze. Sometimes it wouldn't even stay on the hard reset, the phone would shut off as soon as I release the SEND button after holding all fo the hard reset buttons. So i went back here and on Google to look for the fix.

I've done a bit of research on possible fixes to my phone like disassembley of the phone and the placement of plastic sheet over a processor of some sort and flashing the ROM.

So what I did was look up some custom roms and what not. From what I understand you need a CID Unlocker before custom roms can be used. I looked around and found that I need the USB connector to work for the phone to become unlocked. But this conflicts with my current situation and whenever I try to flash with a custom rom from the microSD, it takes me to the Loading... screen and stays there without any mention of flashing a ROM. This is also the case when I try to put the CID Unlocking .nbh on my microSD card.

So I ask what I can do for my phone to revive it. I've done extensive searches on any fix to my phone with little or no result. I need some fixes fast because I have a tonne of important calls coming in that I need to answer. I will not accept that my phone is dead.

Please guide me in the direction on how to unlock the CID with a microSD card. Or just anything that'll enable me to use my phone again. I con't afford ot buy another one.

BTW

The info on my boot loader screen reads.

VOGU100

I gather that you can get to the boot loader screen by the above info. While on that screen try pluging you cable into a direct USB port on the computer and then into the phone. If your phone is recognized it will change from serial to USB at the bottom of the multi color screen. If that doesn't work let me know.

I've tried that. The phone reads USB but the computer can't recognize the phone. Activesync won't work either.

EDIT

I've tried flashing with a stock rom. Everything runs fine in that screen. I soft resetted the phone and it went to the windows mobile 6.1 screen with an orange LED and just sat there, I wanted to wait but impatience got the best of me and I soft resetted and now it gets stuck on the telus screen again. Sometimes the green LED flashes as if the phone was running normally and the screen dims. I don't know whats going on.

I think I've tried that ppcgeeks thing but I can't be sure. It doesn't work because I can't connect my hpone with the USB cable.

Quote from HTC website

Q.

Activesync is not recognizing my device, what should I do?

Be sure that you have not connected your device to your PC before you installed Activesync. If you did plug in your device before installing, uninstall Activesync and start the process over ensuring that you do not plug your device in until after Activesync has been installed.

Verify that your device is recognized by your PC in the Device Manager; if it is not, resolve that issue first.

Unplug your device from the PC for a few seconds and then plug it back in.

Perform a Soft reset on the device while it is plugged into the PC.

On the device, go to Start>Settings>Connections>USB to PC and check the "Enable advanced network functionality.
