This is why history is important... you learn from it :D

Here is an extract from xplode's thread (first post)

I have a simpler solution.... get PIM backup to save any important things out of your phone, flash a newer rom :D. Remember, xplode's latest version was 7.1 and not 7... and that is for a very special reason... bugs (activesync being one of them). More than likely, you will have to either HR or change roms. I would personally go with the latter since I am gonna have to reinstall everything anyways.

BTW, Chef.... awesome guide!
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] Chef_Tony:
yeah, i remembered that xplode had some sync issues with some past roms, but i always thought that it if it hit you, sync wouldn't work at all but it seems to have worked before, which is why i didn't blame the rom first. that usb driver issue is trouble though, it could have been the solution this time, since it isn't i will use this to link on, the next time it might be ;)

but i agree, in this case, changing the rom should clear all issues.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] java218:
I finally fixed the problem in a way like what egzthunder1 suggested... And now I am trying out wm6.5. Here is what I've been through

1. Spb backuped my PIMs. Restored to my previous backups ( which I am sure worked well with Activesync )... Sync still not working.

2. Hard reset, sync works. Restored to any previous backups... sync not working

So I decided to flash a rom, now that I have to hard reset it anyway. So, I HRed the phone, restored PIM, and synced with my PC and MS' myphone account, downloaded a new WM6.5 rom, and flashed the phone...

bling..everything works now

I don't think it's old ROM's fault for not ActiveSync, it must be something I did to the system which is weirdly not restore-able. Anyway, starting over is always an effective solution, just takes a lot of time to get everything back to work again.

Thank you guys for great guides and insights.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 General] egzthunder1:
There are things that get backed up with 3rd party software (such as Sprite Backup), which will mess things up in the device. It is usually recommended not to use these softwares to back your things up. Instead, you should always try to either use AS, or try PIM Backup, which for some reason doesn't mess things up.

Glad it worked out :)

[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dream Reality Syndrome:
I bought my Tilt on ebay for real cheap, because the speaker was not working. I would like to get it to work, so I was wondering if anyone had any ideas to help? I'm sure this is hardware related cuz I've flashed this phone many times. I've replaced the speaker wit on off of ebay but still the sound is routed! It clicks as if it wants to work, but there's nothing. Am I doomed to not having a speaker?
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] Dream Reality Syndrome:
Nuthin huh
[Tilt, TyTN II, MDA Vario III General] DJTJ:
Maybe try reflashing the ROM

[HD2 General] jonny68:
Hi Folks,

I have spent a considerable amount of time before i actually registered searching through hundreds of posts in relation to the unlocking to the HTC HD2 on T-Mobile (UK) everyone appears to give links to various different websites who charge for unlocking,some people appear to contradict what others have said and to be honest it's all very confusing!

I'm due to take delivery of a brand new HTC HD2 this coming Monday and it's locked to T-Mobile, that's doesn't present a problem as such as im on T-Mobile here but i do want to get it unlocked for when i go back to Dublin so i can put my Meteor SIM or any other SIM card in, however in all the times ive had mobiles that have been locked to 1 network ive always managed to get them unlocked usually online but im coming up short this time, my question is - is there anyway i can get this phone unlocked without having to pay to do so, also i recall someone saying you need to get it flashed first before you get it unlocked, can some clarify and any other tips would be appreciated.

Good forum this and quite helpful:)
[HD2 General] adamo86:
flashing has got nothing to do with unlocking.

certain networks unlock for free but some charge dont know about tmobile.o2 recently started to unlock for free.

certain networks dont even lock it just wait and see.

carphone warehouse most of the time they give unbranded phones so its unlocked.

my hd2 says tmobile on box but there's no sign of tmobile customization.

on the other hand my mates phone is on tmobile and its customized .

just wait for it..
[HD2 General] jonny68:
Cheers mate..yeah ill just wait and see when i get the phone,with some luck it will be unlocked.
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] carlitos287:
I damaged(torn off) two of the pins from the sim card reader under the battery from the T-Mobile Touch Pro 2, while taking the sim card out (its a pain taking it out)

now it will not read the sim cards...:mad::mad::mad:

PLAN A) i will try to convince HTC to replace it under HTC's manufacturer Warranty...:);)

PLAN B) buy another T-Mobile Touch pro 2 cheap damaged and swap the mainboards, or buy the mainboard if possible alone...:cool:

PLAN C) fix it myself by replacing it with one from eBays "Blackberry Curve Card Holder":confused:

PLAN D) leave it on my desk until the dust covers it, and i no longer remeber of the phone...LOL..:D

so anyone else damaged the sim reader or any other part of the phone???

and yes, i will post pictures of the phone...and the progress of the fix(if i fix it)...and that is not the actual picture,...its a FCC pic. that is where the sim reader is....if i choose to fix it, i think i don't even have to unscrew the back housing since i can even see the solder connections with the battery removed
[Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General] ell82:
Hey, how did you damaged them? I have just realised that I have the same problem in one of my xperia x1. When I look at sim slot I can see two pins which looks different from the others and from this in my second (working) xperia. Now I am thinking how to get to them.

[TG01 ROM Development] Da Mafia:
OK, so I was asked by kevinpwhite to write up a guide on how I made a ROM with with Orange logo, so here it is.

Also, i'm sure some of this isn't needed, but I tried to be thorough. I'm not much of a guide writer so if you find this hard to follow or think its missing something, please let me know and i'll try my best to fix it.

Now before I begin, I should warn everybody that flashing unofficial software is unsafe, I followed this guide myself before posting but I can hardly guarantee safety by just using it myself.

TGTool 1.3.19 - http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=650075

tg01_sddl+ - http://www.4shared.com/dir/18687254/7d532a3f/Windows_Phone_65.htmla

TG01WP_6.5_Orange_UK_Update - TG01WP_5005000176.tsw

TG01WP_6.5_IT_Update - TG01WP_5005030076.tsw

For ease of use, I renamed my ROM's ITA and UK respectivly, and I will be refering to them as ITA.tsw and UK.tsw in this guide.

So for starters, put your UK.tsw and ITA.tsw in the same folder with TGTool. Run 'Command Prompt', navigate to your chosen folder and then we can begin.

Step 1 - Take the English software out of the UK ROM.

tgtool -sp UK.tsw UK.nb0

Step 2- Insert that into the Italian ROM.

tgtool -mp UK.nb0 ITA.tsw TG01WP_00.tsw

Step 3 - Copy TG01_SDDL+ to your 'Storage Card' if you haven't already done so, and copy TG01WP_00.tsw into a folder named 'prg'.

Step 4 - Run TG01_SDDL+ and let it flash.

Now as far a I can tell, this only removes the Orange logo from bootup, it still has an Orange logo on shutdown and still contains all Orange apps and settings. So you will still also need to follow kevinpwhite's "Soft De-Brand Procedure" to remove the majority.
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Da Mafia - thank you very much - practically an instant response !

I can follow the logic now and think I understand this process better. The next will be to try doing it....carefully :)

Do you think any more steps can be taken beyond wrapping elements of one ROM within the shell of another or does that then immediately get into the realms of 'proper' cooking such as the experts are currently grappling with ?
[TG01 ROM Development] Da Mafia:
I don't know of any easy way to make further modifications, so anything more than this will need a 'proper' cook. I've tried to look into this myself but the TG01 is my first Windows Mobile phone so I have no experience and don't know how much of the guides for other phones transfer to the TG01.
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Hmm.. I've just tried the process and am getting an error message

" Upgrade image not found, copy an image to 'prg' folder of the storage card."

The TG01WP.tsw file generated OK (apparently) and I have copied to the prg folder (file size is identical to original).

[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Many thanks for the amendment. I am pleased to report that I have now succeeded with the re-flash.

One additional point to mention - changing the filename of the output .tsw file did NOT work. It was necessary to re-generate with the correct filename structure - evidently cedesmith's TGTool does something internally with that information.

View attachment 300191

Initial Toshiba splash screen, then few seconds dark period and then the normal Windows orange-coloured screen cal screen. Following the full 'soft-debrand procedure', apart from the residual .cab and other files dormant in the ROM \windows, etc. the device is now as 'clean' as I suspect is possible.

Brilliant stuff Da Mafia - thank you for taking the first 'great leap' ! :)

Brilliant stuff cedesmith - thank you for providing the TGTool. I am sure that it will lead to much greater things, but even this apparently modest step needs to be seen as really significant :)

Next question is how can the UK OS Payload .nb0 file be filleted to remove the unwanted .cabs, etc.....

On a second tack, I have made a Registry archive post-debrand using CeRegEditor, but at present cannot figure how to be able to write that back to the device on top of the original Registry. Does anyone reading this have any expertise with that side of things they can share please ?
[TG01 ROM Development] adzman808:
morning guys,

YES :) :)

this method worked great :)

to confirm what Da Mafia & Kevin have said...

this mod will basically re-create your standard oragnge phone - but with no orange boot up screen

sensational - can't thank you both enough

cheers

[TG01 ROM Development] arag0n85:
I guess I have a method to avoid orange cab's to install at all. But here is nothing sure at all... I'm flashing a working ROM now because i have to leave. I failed so many times flashing a 6.5.5 non bootable (im starting to get used to the pin method lol). By the way, I would work faster if you can tell me if that procedure works properly once I come back to house:

tgtool -sp tg01uk.tsw tg01.os.nb.payload
osnbtool -d tg01.os.nb.payload 2 imgfs.bin
imgfstodump imgfs.bin
imgfsfromdump imgfs.bin imgfs-new.bin
osnbtool -c tg01.os.nb.payload 2 imgfs-new.bin
tgtool -mp tg01.os.nb.payload.new tg01uk.tsw tg01uk-new.tsw

If it works I'm 90% sure I can build a debranded 6.5.0 ROM.
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Hi Adam,

Glad you have been successful too ! I've now pasted in the Welcomehead and Shutdown screens and just soft reset a few times in the course of installing various basic software ... whole effect is just what was needed !
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
I've not had time to absorb the detail of each step you've suggested....but could you please clarify which action will prevent the .cabs installing ? And is it simply to stop the auto-installer (same as editing the Registry pre-boot) or is it actually removing the .cabs from the payload completely ?

Sorry if a dim question, but feeling my way here !
[TG01 ROM Development] arag0n85:
Well, none of the steps I posted avoids the installation of cab's. It just unpacks and repacks the payload. If this simple steps works, I have located the cab files and registry pre-boot places that I need to edit.

So, I just need someone to test if the simple unpack-repack procedure builds a bootable rom. I will be out of house until tomorrow morning I guess and it's going to be faster to have someone testing it before I come back.

Also, If someone wants to try, just use the attached initflashfiles.dat and see what happens. It won't remove the cabs but I think it will avoid most of the Orange installations.
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
Again sorry to be dim... how does one run the .dat you posted ? Does this need to be inserted pre-boot or is it run post-boot ?
[TG01 ROM Development] adzman808:
nail varnish remover, some cotton buds, a small flat blade screwdriver & patience...

...and you can kiss goodbye to the orange logo on the back too !!

Cheers

:)
[TG01 ROM Development] arag0n85:
you need to replace the .dat file on the dump directory after the instruction:

imgfstodump imgfs.bin
[TG01 ROM Development] Da Mafia:
I've just done this and flashed fine.

It looks like imgfstodump doesn't dump everything, my rebuilt imgfs is nearly 20MB smaller, also I cannot see initflashfiles.dat to replace, but still the phone flashed OK and is working.
[TG01 ROM Development] arag0n85:
It may be also because the compresion of the payload it's diferent,I don't think it's because rubish in the payload, but well, if that's the case it's also welcome.

The initflashfiles.dat that i posted should be placed into the dump directory after the imgfstodump process. It should avoid the installation of orange maps, video player and other orange stuff. If it works then I just need to delete the files from the dump directory before rebuilding and voila, a debranded 6.5 payload.
[TG01 ROM Development] Da Mafia:
Right, it turns out initflashfiles.dat was actually there, i'd just overlooked it. So i've flashed again using yours and again, working fine.
[TG01 ROM Development] arag0n85:
did you find any diferences?
[TG01 ROM Development] Da Mafia:
I can't say for sure, but it looks like there is a tab missing from the Orange Homescreen, I don't normally use it so could be wrong, and I think the Orange Maps shortcut from the menu has gone too.
[TG01 ROM Development] arag0n85:
nice, i've modified the file a little more, this time should delete the help video of UK and some other pictures and stuff, can you check it again plz?

PD: If it works, you can delete the help video from orange in the dump directory and build the rom again without it I guess. So, you will have a 10Mb lighter ROM. The other pictures from Orange may be deleted I guess and it will give a little more room on the ROM.
[TG01 ROM Development] Da Mafia:
I found out why I couldn't see the initflashfiles.dat before, it was hidden, and I hadn't set my folders to show hidden files, after doing that I could see most of the Orange stuff.

So I wen't through the initflashfiles.dat, found the Orange related items, removed them from the list and also removed them from the dump folder at the same time.

So I built and flashed that but I think I deleted a few more things than I should have, on first boot it stuck on a white screen. I restarted the phone and it boot OK but the start menu only has the today shortcut.

On the plus side, I did remove the poweroff.gif, and I no longer get the Orange shutdown animation ;)
[TG01 ROM Development] pipolas:
That's what we call cooking, no?!

So, this is the first, really cooked rom!?
[TG01 ROM Development] adzman808:
i dunno....

maybe a small step for cookers, but for ROM wanters, its a giant leap for mankind :)

i've not tried the versions with the orange branding pre-removed

but i'm really happy with the version that doesn't say orange when it boots up :)
[TG01 ROM Development] kevinpwhite:
In my case more a question of 'baby steps' than giant leaps, but hopefully getting there gradually....and beginning to make a bit more sense !

I've successfully made a straightforward unpack / repack of the original ROM, following in Da Mafia's pioneering footsteps.

Then have tried a significantly modified one

- used Arag0n85's initflashfiles.dat file (out of interest his latest file is 48k, the original was 223k !)

- removed all the gash .cab files, .tsks, Help Video, all the Today Screen images apart from Default Blue and a few other things from the \Dump directory on the PC

- inserted the replacement start / shutdown files.

Total ROM file size is now only 212MB instead of the original 254MB (but probably needs a few things put back).

This concoction has flashed OK; however:

- I'm back to an Orange logo at start up - have to figure where that lives, but think Arag0n85 knows where to look.

- only have a single icon on the Start Menu - for Today ! (Same as Da Mafia reported above). So can go back and forth between the titanium UI and the Start, to things which are accessible off the Titanium screen but not much else.

- Also nothing in Program Files when the directory structure is viewed from the PC over WMDC

- There is partial navigation through File Explorer, accessed via the Pictures & Videos tab on the front page, but unfortunately while Directories and all Image files show up fine, it is not displaying other files.

But, apart from the original splash screen, for all intents and purposes a completely de-Oranged device :)

....so I used the destop PC via WMDC to line up the previous hybrid IT / UK ROM and put back via the short pins method [ Incidentally I've found a Case Logic Velcro cable tie strap just about ideal as a temporary device to secure the battery against coming adrift ].

In the meantime, having a browse through another edit of the initflashfiles.dat and am now running at filesize of 133k. An interesting question is whether to repeat using the hybrid ROM as the start point as that never had the initial splash screen....

But, enough excitement for one day !
[TG01 ROM Development] cedesmith:
you need to use IT rom to get rid of 1st orange screen.

it is in phone firmware not in WM part of the rom.
