See my benchmark thread, in the bottom of the list you can see the memory statictics of ROM 1.43, 1.48 and 1.61. ROM 1.161 uses a bit more than 1.48 I guess mainly because of the embedded extra TUR language files.

Regarding the signal strength, with this new radio the difference here in Iran is night and day! No signal at all with older radios and full signal with this one!

HTC actually made a special radio for Iran way before this 1.61 ROM leaked and that gave the HD2 great signal strength. I don't know what exactly they changed, but whatever it was, it's apparently present in 2.06 radio too.

funny

The funniest thing about this ROM is; it is built for Turkish(Turkce) language, but the phone is still not on Sale in Turkey and will not be released till new year.

Ohh HTC, you did it again :)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
I am well aware of how to use gold card ;p i use the write image instead of hexcopying.

but twice now I've found the card unreadable after successfully flashing a rom using it..

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] hbahaie:
Just format it using Fomat SD program in Leo programs. To keep it working after Goldcard process, try using card reader other than the Leo. I was facing the same problem for 2 days, then i used my usb sandisk card reader and every thing went very smooth.

After SPB backup Back to old ROM

hi there,

have just installed the rom, ROM 1.61 confirmed in the software information, same as the original image in this thread.

I ran SPB backup which restored all my data, programs etc and the ROM version is now saying 1.48!

surely it is impossible for SPB backup to restore the old ROM?

any idea?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
The rom version is just a txt file in the windows dir so it will have restored that file.

also just so you know, doing a backup with SPB Backup and restring it to a different version of the rom is a very RISKY thing to do!!

Serious dude you can create massive issues, and hard resetting!

MG
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] ijob:
cheers, i've just done a hard reset back to the new rom, camera pinkness is still there though :(
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] panki_86:
Flashed with the same Goldcard!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Lucius Snow:
Maybe we can use SBP backup by customizing without ROM files ? I don't know, just wondering. Same about the registry.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vangrieg:
Just how many times should it be repeated until people understand? Do not use automated backup tools when you upgrade your ROM. You are asking for trouble.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
You don't expect them to actually listen do you :p
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
Thanks but I know how to format, and do goldcard.. the card was readable after writing the img using qmat as I usually do. But after flashing the new rom, both times the card has become unreadable, the first time I wrote the nbh to the card, the second time I flashed via ruu. I repeat the card was perfectly readable after writing the goldcard, but after flashing the rom it had become unreadable which is very very odd..

Sticking the then non-functioning card into a card reader and setting the drive properties using disk management in windows allowed me to use recovery software. Mainly because I left my back up sdcard on my work machine adn I'm not there till wednesday.. otherwise I'd have formatted and just recopied the files over..

Must remember to stick the files onto a usb stick to keep with me.. ;)
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Lucius Snow:
I hear you, but you know well that these softwares can be customized. I'm not telling that we'll get back the full system, but i think some parts can be done safely. My question is ... which parts. SPB backup manual explains this issue : http://www.spbsoftwarehouse.com/uploads/user_manuals/spb_backup_user_manual.pdf
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Laurentius26:
Hi Fards,

Just to let you know, first time I flashed the 1.48 rom with goldcard method and the 2gb sdcard that came with the device.

Second time the 1.61 rom was just a mather of copying the leoimg.nbh to the sdcard and run the flash one more time.

No problems nothing.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] puremind:
I chose English and third party applications still decide they want to install in Turkish!

I think it may be best to wait for the true English version if you don't want programs to install in Turkish.

For example I wanted to install the new Google Maps version with support for the magnetic compass and it installed in Turkish automatically. :mad:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
For Those who have problems with Gold card method,

Are you guys using Micro-SDHC or Micro-SD?

I had some problems initially with 8GB Micro-SDHC and then using 2GB Micro-SD without any issues.

Have flashed atleast 6times using the same card.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Change the regional language and location setting to English(US) or UK through settings tab.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vangrieg:
Yes, I know. Don't use those programs to restore anything to a new ROM. Period. Or you can get problems. The customizations they offer aren't granular enough to be safe. And if they were, you wouldn't need those programs because you would know exactly what to back up.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] puremind:
This did the trick, thank you. I have an issue with the mail preview. I am unable to display the full email by tapping on the preview. I had this issue on other ROM's but it sometimes worked and sometimes didn't.

Does anyone know if there is a fix for this issue, as I have read other people also have that kind of issue. It may be due to the 16 icon home tab cab I installed?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] 4D3:
Yeah, i get so much stick from noobs for telling them that the question has been covered in threads and to search!

I think the new policy should be to completely ignore these people, the faster they brick their devices the faster they leave!! lol

[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Archer:
It's strangely enough due to the lock issue. Manually lock the phone (Start, Lock) and then it will work after that.

Go figure!
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] skr_xd:
Use the 20 shortcuts instead.

Try to use the screen lock manually one time. it did the trick with 1.48 WWE ROM for the email opening issue.
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] vangrieg:
I think you're way too harsh... It's very easy to get misled by false claims made by software vendors like SPB and Sprite, and by bad advises here on the forum; if you don't really understand what "settings" you want to back up consist of it's not surprising that people still hope to find easy solutions. It's human nature to to tend to forget that free cheese most often is found in mousetraps...
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] citrix80:
is this official or test?

is it possible to flash it without gold card?
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] Yes!:
My 2GB MicroSD is not recognized by neither my PC nor my HD2 after writing goldcard image on it using QMAT. I'm also unable to reformat it.

Anybody any clue if and how this can be fixed? :confused:
[HD2 Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM Development] fards:
Stick the card in a card-reader

go into control panel/administrative tools/computer administrator/disk management on your windows pc.

you should see the device listed (if it isn't recognised try rebooting the pc)

from there you can set a partition and drive letter.. that should then work.

Hi there,

I'm looking to get in to the whole ROM cooking thing, and I've been doing plenty of reading on here over the last couple of months trying to understand the concepts and techniques used.

I have a background in application development and server administration, so I have picked up most of it without too many problems, but I don't understand where the original chefs get their base ROMs from? From what I could gather, they would normally come as a .bin file, and they would be hardware independant, is that right?

Then this is used to build a hardware specific ROM for flashing, including any bundled applications?

I'm sorry if this is covered elsewhere, but like I said, I have been reading for a while now and these are the questions that I couldn't find answers to.
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III Windows Mobile ROM De] stylez:
The base comes from stock ROM which is then cleaned and use SYS & XIP to update.....

Hi everybody.

I have, installed on my Htc touch cruise, the Kostas wm6.5 Rom.

Everything seems to work wonderful, but I have a problem.

Sometimes wm6.5 blocks everything and I have to make a soft reset.

After that, wm6.5 doesn't restart for a few seconds.

Subsequently my Polaris makes a Hard Reset by itself, without any kind of request or intervention.

Someone can help me?

Thank you very much!!

[Touch Cruise General] skodik:
This is what happend to me! exactly with this kernel and after some time I even couldn't turn on this device, it'was like a dead no screen. After 5h without battery it again started but after that again freeze, so now I installed original http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=59&cat=2&dl_id=113

But it restart themself during loading, so now I am solving what to do probably I will try install ROM from SD card. But this is 2 issue, I don't know if there is som corelation between them, but first is that phone seems like that and need rest for start, now it I am nearly sure that it's HW problem and 2nd is bad OS.

But anyway I am trying to ask if you have similar experience, because my case start exactly same as yours, but now ends in real hell :(

EDIT: I definitelly had Kostas too, but I think that WM6.1

EDIT2: Can you send your S/N number, it's weird beacause friend which sold me this phone told me that phone was working 1y absolutelly OK and now around same date as you happend something similar, that's weird, or you have new phone?

Thanks anyway!

Have you used the correct radio?

I've installed an Italian Rom wm6.5 and I've had to install Radio 1.59 before install the ROM, then it's better to install an original ROM like this:

RUU_Polaris_HKCSL_WWE_3.19.831.3_radio_sign_25.85. 30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship

Daniele

From Kostas Rom Page:

Radio not included.You must use any 1.59.xx.xx version.(1.59.46.12 is the latest and recomended.)
[Touch Cruise General] deepthroat:
general guidelines;

certain application is not working (particularly camera) -> change your radio

system unstable, random freezes -> hard reset

hard reset cannot solve the problem -> flash stock rom, then reflash custom rom, then hard reset.

Hello, I faced a strange problem with my HD2. If I use "Sound and Display" tab in Setting page to change the sound profile from sound to vibrate or silent, the sound icon in the top bar does not change to vibrate or silent icon. Even though I change the profile to vibrate in the menu of "End" button, the icon does not change. However, if I change the mode by pressing the volume up or down keys, the silent or vibrate icon appears!!!

Anyone faced similar problem? Can anyone tell me how to solve it?

Thanks!!

[HD2 General] edwardl:
After trial, it seems that the problem is due to a patch issued by HTC Hong Kong for CSL users only:

http://www.htc.com/hk-en/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=809&news_id=406

The patch updates several ROM files in HD2 (one is volume control service). After removing the patch, the icons work again.

It seems that HTC should test the patches thoroughly before releasing them.
[Touch HD General] repoman1966:
I had an Orange Touch HD on which I had installed the official arabic rom using hard spl. since i came back to the uk, I found out that orange had brought out it's own updated rom and so I installed that. Once the HD reset itself I noticed when smart mobility went from white to turquoise in colour and when it shows windows 6.1 mobile screen the display is only using about 8 colours!

I informed orange and they sent me a replacement as it seemed to be the Upgraded Rom that had caused this for some reason.

However, I miss the Arabic Rom, so decided I wanted to put it back on so earlier this afternoon installed Hard SPL so I could upgrade to Arabic again .

The problem is, doing that had caused the same display colour problems again. How do I remove Hard SPL, or is it a case of I can't and I've corrupted my HD permanently?
[Touch HD General] repoman1966:
Have cured my problem by reinstalling a 1.56 SPL using the hard SPL method. graphics and phone no longer corrupt and reinstalled the latest Orange rom, back in working order.

Help. I am completely frustrated.

My tmobile touch pro 2 all of a sudden can not receive any text messages. When I switch out my sim card to another phone it gets texts immediately so there is nothing wrong there.

I've already tried resetting the phone many times and even left the battery out before doing so. When I send a text message to my own phone number from the phone I get a text back from the system administrator stating that the message was not delivered and that I should check the address and try again.

I've used other phones and texting services to try to send myself texts but nothing comes through. Is there anything else I can do?
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] bteague13:

Did you recently install any new apps? I had that problem at one time, and realized that it was the app that i downloaded that caused my text messages not to work. the app that casued the error for me was True Caller. Once i uninstalled the app and soft reseted my phone, the text messages worked perfectly again.

I hope this helps.
