First thing you need to do is hardSPL your phone...

Be sure to use hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh, later on you can use 1.22

HardSPL doest change anything on your device, but it is needed to flash custom Roms.

I've got a the official Orange Rom that I would upload for you in case you need it at a later stage
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] robertot5:
I'm trying to use the sspl-1.16-nike as in the instructions, but when I click on it it gives me "The file 'sspl-1.16-nike' cannot be opened. Either is is not signed with a trusted certificate or one of its components cannot be found.....

I tried several times. I removed the card and SIM and at boot it gives me an exact error for some programs that I have installed on the card like SPB keyboard and iContact.

What should I do ?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] keenan316:
1. Disable the keylock/password on your phone

2. Download the attached files

3. REMOVE SIM and SD CARDS !!

4. Connect usb cable

5. Make sure either Activesync or WMDC is synced with the device rather then just being connected via usb!

6. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)

7. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display

8. unplug and replug the usb cable

9. Then flash the hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-hardspl-niki directory

10. You should see progress bar on device and be flashed in about 3-5min

Follow this exactly...

* Keep hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.nbh for later use, I'll tell you when you're finished
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] robertot5:
God damn Windows Mobile, it doesn't work either way.

Now I tried to put back my SD card and guess what : None if my applications work anymore, even the ones installed on the phones memory like Password Master of iContact, nothing works. What the hell happened with this phone. I have no security lock or passwords, just SIM code but that doesn't matter cause the SIM is out, I don't have card encryption enabled.

Ah, and one more thing, I think it worked the first 2 seconds cause I saw the 4 colors screen popping up after I tried to open sspl-1.16-nike.exe but then the error pops up and it dissapeared.

Yes I waited until the phone was synchronized with ActiveSync.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] keenan316:
Backup everything, do a hard reset and try again, this method should work flawless, if it doesnt then there must be some instability coming from your device
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] robertot5:
Ok I will try as I see its already messed up anyway.

How do I do hard reset ? I know its some sort of pressing some combination of buttons !

P.S : Nevermind, I found out
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] robertot5:
OK it worked, everything worked fine.

The process reached 100%, the phone restarted and on the PC it gave me Success.

Now what ?

P.S : After the restart the phone entered the Customization mode again, and the Orange stuff started to install again, is that bad ? Does that mean the the hardspl didin't worked ?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] keenan316:
turn off the phone and while holding down the camera button, switch it on, that will enter the bootloader and show you hardSpl version..

Post that here...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] robertot5:
It says

NIKI100 MFG

SPL-1.15.Hard

CPLD-4

...

..

...

Serial
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] keenan316:
Alright, that's great, you now have hardSpl installed.

Do you plan on using a different sim card in the phone..? maybe O2 or something, if so you will need to do a CID and security unlock, this is needed for some roms, but not for all of them.

Then lastly you need to flash to a newer radio..

So, first things first, do you plan on using a different SIM..?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] robertot5:
Great,

No I don't plan on using another SIM

I think I know the radio version

When I start the phone on the Orange splash screen it shows some numbers, among them there is a line wich says :

R: 1.65.29.22

Is that the radio version ?

Ok so let's continue

Anyway I can't thank you enough for helping me with my phone :) so....Thanks a lot :))
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] keenan316:
I'm glad to be able to help ;)

I felt the exact same way a week ago..

You Radio is fine, I use the same one, usualy if you see a nice rom, the poster will let you know what Radio and hardSpl you need.

So now, you will flash HardSpl 1.22

Just use the guide I posted, but delete hardspl-1.15mfg-nike.nbh from the "flash-hardspl-niki" directory. Copy hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.nbh back into it and just follow the instructions from here on...

6. copy sspl-1.16-nike.exe to your device and run it (usb cable must be connected!)

7. after a few seconds "USB" appears on the display

8. unplug and replug the usb cable

9. Then flash the hardspl-1.22-nike-shipped.nbh by running ROMUpdateUtility.exe from flash-hardspl-niki directory

When you're done, report back again and we'll flash your first rom...
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] keenan316:
You can choose between Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5, but most of the 6.5 roms are pretty slow.

You can try this rom, it's brilliant, but based on 6.1

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=501147

Use this version for the 16 key hardware keyboard!!!

3G Dialer 16 keys Edition - Salvy.C.83_v3.3.1_16_key

You can install the attached dialer, which is just a dream to use
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] robertot5:
Ok it worked, I started the phone again in boot mode and it shows SPL-1.22.Hard

I really want the new 6.5 version, I have the 6.1 since I bought the phone but I really like the new 6.5 type, the icons, scrollbars and such.

Can you recommend me a very good 6.5 ROM, I really like the slider type desktop, where you have tha phone, calendar, text and you slide the magnifier over the option you want.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] keenan316:
That's called manilla or touchflo

That is preinstalled in the rom I linked, along with a bunch of cool things

Try it if you want, but I'll post back in a bit with a link to a 6.5 rom

Or are you talking about Titaniam..?

Link me to a youtube video or something of the one you like..
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] robertot5:
I have installed the ROM you suggested.

Nice options and nice effects, but I like the WM 6.5 vertical slide thingy, like in this video http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jFjPVpyGvsk

I wait for you to recommend a good and clean WM 6.5 ROM

P.S : I didn't know there are different "desktops" available with different names, but I find the one in the above youtube clip very handy and simple, as well as the new menu when you press the Start button.

Whats the difference between the Full and Lite? I want the menu like the Lite has and the keyboard the Full has :)

I will install Lite and check it out
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] keenan316:
The Lite version uses Titanium (The one you want)

The Full version uses manilla like the first one you flashed
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] robertot5:
Ok, I flashed the lite one, very nice, works well until now.

Has a bug with the camera not working when i press the side button but in rest it seems to be working, and it is very fast.

I stii need to figure out how to make shortcuts for programs in Favorites and how to make iContacts work.

What keyboard does the Full one use ? It looks very neat ? Where can I find it ?
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] keenan316:
It might be this one..

[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] robertot5:
It doesn't work :(

The keyboard doesn't work either, the hardware one, just writes numbers and no letters.

Youtube doens't work, I also installed flash lite

Sometimes it refuses to exit stand by and I have to remove the battery.
[Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development] keenan316:
I dont use titanium at all, best thing to do it probably reply in that thread where you downloaded from

Every ROM on the board that isn't an official release from your manufacturer is a ROM under development.( XDA-Developers)

ROM's here all are beta ROM, they all have bugs in them.

Just pick one with features you like, and check the forum for what bugs it contains. You can help further development by posting your comments and experience. Newest ROM's are mostly the most developed ROM's.

Your comments are very appreciated :)

Hi

Im having a problem when im trying to set up my email on my Diamond.

Previously, i was able to set up my hotmail account on my phone, using the wizard and it worked perfectly. I flashed my phone with ROM: 2.03.405.3 WWE and have tried to set up the email again, it says settings found for hotmail.co.uk, then when i click next, it launches opera browser :S, i cant understand why! Has anyone had this problem and managed to resolve it??

Hi, I am trying to connect to my wifi, and my phone can see it. I even tried reinstalling my rom. However I still cannot use my wifi, even though my phone can see it. First it says it is available then when I press connect it goes to "connecting..." then it says unavailable and gets back to 1st stage. I was thinking maybe reinstall the radio? or it is in my modem?*

* I used it few days ago so doubt it the modem, because nothing changed...
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] chacik:
I would still check the modem/router settings. I had the same problem and after a few days I realized I had MAC filter on. Or maybe check the encryption method if it's the same in both devices.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pa49:
Well something changed!

If you have tried all the known routes (all settings checked and working?) and still no connection then a reset to default and then apply all necessary settings again should do the trick.

I was wondering what the best Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM is out there right now that is also stable. Thanks for the help.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Lunie:
gtrabs clean rom is good.
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] Aerox912:
There is no best.. It depends on what you like, almost every wm6.5 rom is stable lately.

Try valkyrie 5.2 if you want TouchFlo on it

Untamed if you don't like the new TouchFlo and want the old and more stable TouchFlo

and UnOff if you want just wm6.5 with al the original Xperia X1 stuff

last but not least: X2 Beta Test rom 9d or UnOff X1.5 if you want all the X2 stuff on it (less stable)
[XPERIA X1 ROM Development] cristidotro:
This guy is right. Be careful that the bottom taskbar of 28XXX builds (start + softkeys + X) are on top of applications that aren't fullscreen (a few pixels, so you won't see the full app). I suggest you flashing a 21xxx build so you won't have any compatibility issue.

Hi Guys,

I've just installed Vovichek_Jamrecords_16shcut_bg4all_m1619.cab to get the 16 quick-menu links. It has installed fine except for a few stuck icons!:mad: The main problem, as explained in the title of this thread is that, once installed, I can't use the right menu softkey on the homescreen. All other buttons work fine but not menu.

The reason I use this specfic cab for the 16 icons is that it's the only one that allows me to have background4all tabs successfully. I've used a combination of a number of diferent cabs and patches but this is the best. I had it all working fine before a hard reset but I can't remember what I used before, very frustrating!

I was just wondering if I'm doing anything wrong and/or if there are any other more effective cabs that you guys are using for the 16 icons without any problems? 20 icons looks too crowded for me so 16 is what I'm looking for. Any help/advice would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Hi Alex,

I have same issues (Windows 7, 64 bit, HTC HD2).

My workaround is this:

make sure phone is not connected

remove any installs of Windows Mobile (starting with the instance of driver update)

re-start PC

reinstall Windows Mobile Device centre from Microsoft (I get an error on the device install, this seems normal)

restart PC

I then attach HD2, then go into tools;Active Synch and attach the HD2 to the PC

The USB device connection sound !

Then Windows installs the device driver

Then Windows Mobile Device Centre sees the HD2

I have also removed the PIN/Password at startup as this seems to help.

Not sure how long it will last, in the past Ive only had a couple of days...but at least it connects.

Hope this helps.

BTW PC is a DELL Studio

[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aether Gray:
I have an HTC Dream/G1 that's having a rather odd issue. When the screen is flipped open, it appears to behave exactly as it should. When the screen is closed however, the display becomes a mess of vertical lines (or sometimes just fades to black) and does not respond.

One need only "sleep" the phone and "wake" it after flipping the screen up to bring it back to normal operation. This only lasts until the phone is again closed. I've included a couple of screen captures to help illustrate the issue. I've searched and searched and found absolutely nothing about this problem anywhere.

I'm currently running Firmware 1.6, CyanogenMod-4.2.7.1 with Cyanogen recovery. Everything was working fine and the phone suffered no trauma prior to this issue presenting itself. It literally happened while the phone was sitting idle on a coffee table. I've tried reflashing the phone (including reverting to Dreaimg.nbh and starting "from scratch") to no avail.

It does not appear to be an issue with the ribbon cable (no amount of flexing the cable or moving the screen has any effect). The display behaves properly throughout its movement up until the exact point at which it switches to "closed" functionality (approximately 80% closed). It appears to be something related to the hardware after it switches to "closed mode". My shot-in-the-dark guess is some form of chip-failure related to the phone's orientation detection as the vertical lines do not change regardless of orientation or touch-input. Again, that is just a guess.

If no one here has any recommendations, I will likely perform exploratory surgery and barring any obvious hardware failures, will likely be forced to replace the phone. If I do manage to resolve the issue (with or without outside help) I will surely assemble a how-to so others may resolve the issue in the future.

Thank you everyone for your help and suggestions, and for existing in the first place. You are the reason technology is fun.

EDIT - As pjcforpres kindly pointed out, I neglected to include the fact that the display failure is present regardless of boot state. It behaves this way upon initial "G1 screen" boot and even in the recovery console. This is appears to be further support for the idea that it is indeed a hardware failure.
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] pjcforpres:
Does it do this while in recovery/boot loader as well? Is there anyway when closed to get it to work correctly?(I think your answer will be 'no' but just double checking)...
[G1 Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting] Aether Gray:
Oh wow, I can't believe I forgot to include that important bit of information. Yes, the phone behaves this way regardless of boot-state. Even with the initial "G1" screen displayed or in recovery mode, closing the screen brings about the display failure. No amount or configuration of screen or button operation seems to bring about the appropriate closed screen behavior. I will edit my original post with this information if I can. Thanks for looking and responding!
