Hello All,

As for Addicted2Xda, the HSPL worked for my device (T3320) too & that too in first go.

I dont know much about these things & this is the first device that I own. I verified the procedure & my device in the tri-color screen reads 1.28.Hard on the LHS side. So i believe that HSPL has worked. The only way to confirm that this works is to load a custom ROM(which i am ready to load) but before that I would like to

1. Backup my current ROM (i.e. the original one from HTC so that in event of any issue, i can claim warranty)

2. In case the custom ROM doesnt flash or work, I can load the original one.

Now I, dont know the procedure, requirements, pre-req on how to do it & hence I would like your expert help in this matter. I am ready to do it, its just that i dont know how to do it & I would like to learn.

So is it possible, for someone to post the stepwise procedure to

1. Backup the current ROM.

2. Load the custom ROM.

For our device Model T3320. I also have a reason to specify "our device Model T3320" in every request simply becaue I, have read most of the thread there & found out that there is much misleading information about this device T3320 here. For e.g. in some threads you find that the HSPL is not working in some you find that it works & other things.

My aim (request or what ever you call it) in humble manner, is to make it easy for guys like me (who are new / dumb at this) to use this beautiful forum, in much better manner.

It is possible that, my aim has already been achieved & I am doing something wrong (probably since I have not read all the rules), in which case I am due for a butt-whipping from all the senior members, which i am ready to take, provided, it becomes easy for guys like me to use this forum.

Long post, you all can thrash me for it & i would gladly take the heat, but please consider my reqeust.

Regards,

H.D

Great job HD.... i am also sailing in the same ship with you. T3320 is my first Windows mobile, there are a lot of doubts and confusions with the device.

Most of the terms used in this site are complete jargons to me, it would be great if someone comes forward to enlighten newbies like us.
[Touch2 General] Addicted2xda:
If you have Hard SPLed your phone, just make sure that your boot loader shows 1.28.Hard (meaning you have successfully HSPLed your device). Luckily you do not need to backup your original ROM as it is already available in the Roll up thread :). WWE Asia is your ROM (if you are an Asian that is :p).

if your HSPL shows as 1.28.Hard, you can flash any custom ROM you feel like. Just give a few of them a shot, you are bound to like one of them :).

Once I flashed my ROM with a custom ROM, never bothered to revert to the Original crap, be it my Vox, my Gene or my Mega.

BTW if you are really interested to know the methods / jargons (well some of them), just pm me and I will be glad to help you - but please note that I have a real job, so it will take some time :).
[Touch2 General] neon7:
Thank you so much Mr.Addicted2xda

1. How can i roll up to original ROM after flashing a new one?

2. Will the warranty be violated if i flash it?
[Touch2 General] Addicted2xda:
Once you hardspl your device, your warranty is void.. unless you find a way to put the original spl back on your device... whether you flash a custom ROM or not is immaterial.

But please note that it is my personal opinion, but:

1. I have a Vox for nearly 4 years now... never needed to send it to service centre... only had to change the battery once... that too last year.

2. I had a Gene for more than 1.5 years and sold it to a friend of mine (who used it for 6 months till he lost it)... without a glitch.

3. Using my touch2, flashed it within 1 month without caring for the world (BTW I am not a millionaire... if I was, I would go for TP2 :D).

If you want to try new stuff... you have to take the risk.

Best of luck in enjoying your Touch2 right now... or waiting for the warranty to get over :)
[Touch2 General] Baadshah555:
Hey.. Please, can I anyone Help me out and tell me, is there any way flashing ROM through Memory Card.. I have read somewhere on XDA..

I had HTC GENE(P3400i), And I flashed that many times.. But now I'm using HTC Touch2 (T3320 Special Version).. And I want to flash this too..

My Problem is.. Someone told me that after flashing my Touch2 I won't be able to play FM Radio.. Is it TRUE.?

And Please tell me the Procedure by which I can safely Flash my ROM..
[Touch2 General] mirost1:
First, make HSPL to hack the phone, second choose a ROM from all of the roms in this section, you can put it via data cabel.
[Touch2 General] Baadshah555:
Thanks, But I'm afraid that I have T3320, Can I flash the ROM for T3333.?
[Touch2 General] raghul:
yes you can.i have the same model and flashed almost

ALL the ROMS available in the ROM section of MEGA :D

and all work great!! :)

so go ahead and enjoy yourself. :)
[Touch2 General] Addicted2xda:
Which crackpot told you that :confused: :D ????
[Touch2 General] ragin:
I never knew my model was 3320, I used jockey's HSPL, been using custom ROMS from here, all works fine :)
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ArtieQ:
Is it possible to disable the automatic keyboard popup via registry edit maybe?
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Bruce Inman:
Advanced Config 3.3 has a setting for this but is does not disable in Opera.

Not sure what registry it edits. It should be under HKCU\ControlPanel\SIP\AutoDeploy = 0 but I don't have this key.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] DonDragonka:
Turn Off Keyboard from Automatically Popping Up

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\ControlPanel\Sip>:

Create or change DWORD > TurnOffAutoDeploy from 0 to 1
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] ravine:
Thanks

Thanks...worked for me.
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] pohlipit:
I saw this suggestion in a couple of forums. I have tried it on mine but the keyboard still keeps popping up. Is there anything else that can be done?

P!
[Touch Diamond2, Pure General] Senax:
answered this Q a few minutes back.. Ah,well... C/P

I am using NULLkeyboard

This driver installs as a selectable virtual keyboard and it's useful to avoid keyboard popup when you don't want to input data (file display, gaming etc.) or when you are using an external keyboard.

Note

: I have some color issues after I used this 'keyboard', therefore I'm switching back to my preferred (FingerKeyboard2) keyboard and then Reset the phone to solve this.

Hope this helps,
[Touch Pro CDMA] brcisna:
Hello All,

I've searched high and low and still can not find a definate answer.

Will the Touch Pro 2 (1500 mah) battery fit in my old Touch Pro (1) 1340 mah ?

I have read there is a difference between the CDMA and GSM version of these batteries.

Mine is a CDMA , U S Cellular phone.

I am wanting to purchase a couple off of Ebay and want to get the 1500 IF it will fit without a new back cover.

Thanks,

Barry
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
You are in the wrong sub-forum. This is for the TP and not for the TP2.
[Touch Pro CDMA] brcisna:
Skeeter,

Re-Read my original post. I don't know a sub forum from a dom forum,,,:)

TP2>TP***AKA: I HAVE a TP...:)

GetRdoNE...
[Touch Pro CDMA] Teej53214:
it is a completely diffrent phone.. so... no.. a TP2 battery will not work in a TP... Also, there is NO diffrence in a CDMA and GSM Touch Pro b atteries.. We have 2 Fuzes, a Sprint, and a US Cellular variant of the Touch Pro in my home, and we all share the same backup batteries (we have 8 batteries for 4 phones)
[Touch Pro CDMA] egzthunder1:
Opps... sorry about that...

Teej is right though, the battery is completely different (size-wise) and I am not certain, but I think the pin-out is different too.

Again, sorry about it but a lot of people actually post questions about the TP2 in here for some reason....
[Touch Pro CDMA] AdamLeonard:
Seidio makes a 1500mAh battery that is compatible with the TP. I have one.

Google is YOUR friend
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:

thanks for help
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
You can Change Everything you want, All is Writen long time ago here in XDA if you want to do NO Matter what with your device you just need to read and all is done. I know how to change the clock but i will make you a favor now by not telling you this you to found it by yourself, because if you dont wana read tomorow will ask to change anything other and always will post Threads how to do that how to change that.

When you wana do something and to search search and cant find Answer then no problem to ask but this questions are answered thousend times, also nobody is born with knolage when i buy my Blackstone long time ago i didn`t know Anything for WM then read read read and you know how to work with that device.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:
Yes i know i have to read but its hard for me to find everything i dont understand anything here , for example what is ROM i have no idea..

please help
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
the ROM mean Your Operating System your Operating System is Windows Mobile but have Diferent Bulds also have alot of custum cooked ROM`s this mean Windows Mobiles etc.

To know how to change the Clock you need to know What ROM you are using and the MANILA you use, so you need to give that info like

Im using 6.5 ROM with Manila 2.1 Sense because to know witch clock will work for you.

Now you wonder from where to know this info OK, go to Settings/System/Device Information/Software Information there will be writen OS version your Manila Version i need this Info

When you write me this INFO tell me what kind of clock you want i can redirect you to the right place to download the clock that will work on your device.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:
Wow thanks for the info, i checked it up and i got ROM-Version 1.14.413.0(24011) but i find no manilla info thing.

Is my ROM version good?

Thanks for answer
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
I can`t say GOOD or Bad i can say that you are with Stock ROM this mean that you are with Default ROM that is with the Device when you buy it brand new.. my opinion is that here already have much more Faster and Good Rom`s than the Stock one but now when you don`t know what you are doing is better to stay with that ROM untill you read enought and you know how to change the ROM

Now go to the Settings TAB on your device this must to be the Last Tab and in the Last will see Manila there will be writen something like 2.1.XXX etc etc write me what is writen there this is your Manila version

The Manila is your Whole Ineterface that you are viewing right now..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:
So if i change ROM , my phone be faster?

I goto settings->system->phone info-> and i dont find any manilla there only my rom version, modell nr , IMEI nr and so on : (

What to do pls help
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
NOT in setting when you are in your HOME TAB where is the CLOCK...

Scroll to the Last tab the tabss is called Settings this is the Place where you can change your wallpaer ringtone and etc so there will have a Place that is writen Touch FLO and will be writen some numbers the Numbers mean your Touch FLO Version

Yes if you change the ROM your device will be faster will have diferent icons diferent look and more extrass/appliaction BUT im understanding now that you can`t do it better is when you don`t know HOW to dont do anything because you can break your Device
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:
Yea i will be careful and try to learn before i change ROM . I found Touchflo thing now and the version: 1.3.35350. 1_1630.38 . Hope u can find anything for it.

Kind Regards
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
Here is how my device look like and im with Windows Mobile 6.5 you are with 6.1

The second image is how look like when i click on START to open some program is complate diferent than your ROM
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:
Thats so cool i wish i could have like that :( where can i read about ROM so i can update my to a newer and better version ?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
in HTC Blackstone ROM section everything is writen HOW to.. for begginers read it carefull 3 times minimum.

Honestly i don`t know many peoples use the old Touch FLO and you will not have alot of options

Here download this cab and install on Phone memory its Analog Clock and you can drag it and place it where you want in your Screen, i remember that work for me befor years in the Old TouchFLO so now must to work for you too. When you install it Restart The Device
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:
Yes i need to change it , but is there how to step for step to change rom and read about rom thread?

BTW i just installed icon changer and when i start it i get this error:

Key "securty/shell/startinfo/start" does not exist . What is the problem , please help
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
If i have free time:) i can write you TUT what you need to do to flash a new ROM just step by step easy guide and when you do it once you will know for Future how to change it to new One when you want. for that i will need to know what Windows you are using on your Desktop PC but im not promissing you about the tut later if i have time will write how to...
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
UNINSTALL the APP this Application is to change the ICONS in Windows Mobile 6.5 not in 6.1 when you ask me i didn`t know you are using 6.1 so will not work for you like many other things here just uninstall the Application.

Anyway when you Flash a New ROM the icons are beuatyfull and you dont need to change them anymore.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:
U mean on my PC? i use Windows XP 32 bit. i hope u will have time soon :(

Kind regards
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:
Thanks i will go thru this carefully later , a question in case of i mess it up can i reset it and it will be fixed?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
Depends If you messed up something you always can Hard Reset and will fix the problem but when you UPDATE the ROM if you messup something You cannot even Hard Reset Because YOU DONT have a ROM.. witch mean you dont have a OPERATING SYSTEM

If you ready carefull the instructions and do all things will not have a problems
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:
Ah ok.. But is there diffrent ROMs? like there is diffrent themes? . a noobish question what is a hard reset ? iam pretty nervous about this i need to be more sure :/ Is there any how to update ROM in pictures?

Kind Regards
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
Ooooo I wrote you a Step by Step Guide for Begginers everyone who had device when read it once will know what to do.. now you asking me for Step by Step Pictures.

Honestly when i buy my device befor years NOBODY give me this Information that i give you right now.. and i was able to Flash a new ROM by reading and reading and reading..

Now im giving you all the info in one Simple Step by Step instructions with the Download links and you still don`t know what to do so

I think that you are not ready to Flash a ROM and better is to don`t try Anything use your Device like now and when you don`t wana read or know more just sold it..

For All peoples.. WinMo can be TOTALY Costumized with OS with Themes with Anything even you can`t imagine but if you are not a person who like to do things like this and to read.. also ti understand how this Devices work better is DONT BUY a Device that you cant handle get some Iphone there not have what to mess just install Apps and this is all.

I will not write in this Topic anymore because i Give you already all the INFO you NEED and you just ask another question.. the things will not work like this here.

Bye
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:
I said thank u , iam just a noob why u get so mad i have hard to understand but sorry i wont ask for help in the forum cause u guys are so angry :S
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
You are not asking for Help because i already write you more than enought you are asking if i can go at your home and flash your device im angry because i dont like lazzy peoples who just ask questions.

Like i say when i flash my device nobody give me that info that im giving you right now and you can do it without to read hours in this forum and on the final ... its seems that is not enought for you.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:
No its enough for me and u did ur best and iam grateful for that , i just wondered if there was any with pictures , i didnt ask u to put up a guide with pictures right?..
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
Okay i will explain you why i get MAD, when you installing your Desktop PC a fresh Windows can you make a Pictures?!

Also what you think you will see from that Pictures?

When your Device start to Update the Screen is Blank Black.. and with 3 Colours also when your ROM start to Update the Screen will become a White and you will have one Status Bar that will show how left the Update to Finish.. there is NOTHING interesting in pictures that you can see.

I explain you clear the Steps like for the Begginers. Also if you ask me to make you Pictures Anyway no matter i explain you... i need to Flash My Device NOW and to get my Camera to make Images When the Device is Flashing because i don`t see any other way to make Images... and this will not gona heppand.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:
Yea oke, but hey one question , is there diffrent ROMs u can choose from ? and when u install a new fresh ROM whats good with installing new ROMs?

Thanks for answer
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] tsalta:
Yes here have Thousend Diferent ROMs to choice from. I give you a LINK for the ROM what to flash because you dont understand and i dont know how you will choice a ROM when you don`t know where to looking for them and you can Choice a ROM that is not made for Your Blackstone and to Break your Device 1st learn how the things work then you go and chocie whatever you want.

Also the Question about what will heppand .. Now you have on your Desktop PC Windows 98 and you Install the new Windows 7

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] izutio:
Ah i think i understand ,so ROM is just like my pc now i have windows XP and i can upgrade to windows 7, is it same thing with the ROMS its like windows xps and windows 7? then my other question comes , which ROM is the newest and best one?
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] edan1979:
lol... seriously... the answer is all there... you just need to open your eyes, search and read... this is a developer forum... its not a technical forum for newb... i read everything and search for answer for every question i got... and its amaze me that the answer is all there... you just need to search... if the thread got 100 pages... i will read 100 page because it got more info in it... so dont be lazy and go start reading...

[Touch HD Themes and Apps] illegal4eva:
Hey guys, I understood this step by step guide, but I have a couple of questions which i have written in big red text in the below quote... :)

thanks! :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Elim:
First, tsalta, impress me also.

Next: You will find much more information in the ROM Development section.

And for first-time flashing is here another good guide.

And now, your questions:

1. "do i hold down the volume up button? the volume down button? or both of them at the same time?)"

The text from tsalta is here very clear:

"and hold down the volume down button and keeping it pressed turn the phone on"

2. "this link does not work, where can i get this BLACKIMG.nbh file from?"

This was only an example and after now 2 month the link is gone. So search for another ROM in the ROM Development section.

When I made no mistake tsalte recommended a ROM from here.

I hope this can help you... :)
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] illegal4eva:
thank u very much Elim! :D and ohhhh yessss i cant believe i missed the word 'down' after the word 'volume' haha it was late at night so i must hav been sleepy haha So all these different designs and appearances that you can get on your phone are called ROMs? Because i thought they were called themes... :s
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] Elim:
You are right, the designs are themes which can mostly installed on every ROM (which has a corresponding version, preconditions, ...).

But on the other side many ROMs have pre-installed themes. Therefore you can choose. By example NRG offer different versions for his ROMS. The main difference here are the pre-installed themes beside the WM Version 6.1 or 6.5.

ROM: All pre-installed stuff (incl. themes)

THEME: can be installed/deinstalled on a given ROM

The main benefit for a ROM is that you can choose between different version of Windows Mobile, Manila and other stuff. Most of this stuff can't be installed on a given ROM and/or this is much slower.
[Touch HD Themes and Apps] illegal4eva:
Thanks for that! :)

One more thing if you dont mind, i wish to download the Standard 'Energy' ROM, but there are 4 different files that are shown on the link when i click it >> http://hotfile.com/list/371953/fe87954 how do i know which file to download??? thanks
