Hello,
I have seen that the question was already asked, but the question dated from one year so may be there will be new solutions :
Can we put the cooked rom in a Device Emulator?
Thanks in advance
Guillaume
I don't think so, however it might be possible. The problem with it is that the emulated hardware will be different to that of a device, and so the ROM would have to be specifically for it.
I'll try and dump the ROM image, and see whether it is similar to other ROMs...
Hum...interesting question....
It appears that the OS is not the same format as any other ROM (it can't be dumped properly) and so I don't think it could be rebuilt with different parts...
Hi every one, my hermes can not read de microsd 4gb I,m trying to find a cab with the solution, because i dont want to update all the WM6. Please someone help me. Thank you!
Install this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58063&d=1194986892
Its the WM5/6 SDHC patch.
Please, a word of advice though.... The search function on the top bar is there for a reason, most people ignore posts (or flame them) for help when it is easily found by a quick search.
Also, information is neeed, SPL, ROM, Device.... these can help.
At the time I answered this 21 people had "looked" but not replied.
Cheers...
Confirm this please
Ultramag69: are u 100% that this can patch the SD to allow read microSD HC????
I want to buy a 8Gb MicroSDHC or 4Gb... and i know that there is nonHC but rarely obviously but trth but i can fount them....
So, this allows to read HCs?
Yep, A 4gb sd card is sdhc.... If it works then you can use a larger card too.... To read more about this patch, read here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2283773
Most WM06 roms have this fix cooked in, ALL the later cooked roms WM06/6.1 roms have this. It may be an idea, if you want to get the most out of your device, flash a new rom. It will get rid of the bloatware installed by the carrier rom and may make your Hermes more responsive... Just be sure to use a free backup program, like pimbackup, to copy your contacts and messages...
Hard SPL your device before you flash any roms though as it makes it easier to recover if and when things go wrong...
I use PDACorner V27 (this week) and it seems fine. I use an 8 Gb card....
OK
very well Im using V27 too and is so good
I see on 4Gb by Sandisk calss 4... class 2 and all other things maybe it will be the usable and nonusable... but i will try to buy one of 4Gb
Thanks a lot men!!! I will read that Patch thread.
SDHC cards always have either a class 6 or a 4 and sometimes a 2 on them. It is the read/write speed with the higher the number the faster the access time.
Going to V27 will allow you to use the 4Gb card as I use an 8Gb card class 4. You WON'T need to install the patch as V27 has it cooked in.... It was essentially for early versions of WM06 and ALL versions if WM05 as they didn't support sdhc.
Please remember though that if you wish to upgrade your Hermes using the sd card method that regardless of whether you have the patch or not, the bootloader WON'T recognise an sdhc. It patches the OS ONLY... You require a 2Gb or less to use this method.
Cheers...
OH this is very important
Nice info thanks a lot men! this is very important but...
I think buying a 256Mb microSD just to have the IMG OS is the best way...
Thanks a lot men!!!
From what I was taught in school, I thought that ROM files CAN NOT be replaced. So, how does this ROM thing work?
I would like to know as I am so confused, as I've installed TouchFlo3D a long time ago, but I don't think that's necessarily a ROM, because it's cab file and it runs through Xperia's ROM.
Any simple explanations would be nice, and essentials links would be too. The links are confusing for me to learn on my own.

Thread moved.
ROM's can be Flashed rather than Written To. The ROM is an area on the NAND chip in the device.
If you want to upgrade your ROM with the update from your carrier you can do by following their instructions.
If you want to flash one of the Cooked ROM's on here you need to replace the bootloader (SPL) with a patched one (called Hard SPL) that doesn't check if the ROM image is signed by HTC or not (amongst other things).
If you're wanting to so this I'd have a look on the wiki and read the sticky threads before you start.
Good luck,
Dave
Basically a ROM is read-only, that is to say you are not meant to put files on it and remove them again. However, you can FLASH the ROM, FULLY REPLACING IT WITH OTHER CONTENT. The ROM serves as a kind of installation disc afterwards, Windows Mobile is then installed on a secondary memory which is NOT ROM and it is run from this memory. The ROM is only used for Hardreset, where you kinda reinstall Windows Mobile.
I really like the costum Touch It Rom, but I am afraid of the bugs, so I'd like to know this:
1) If I flash my ROM, does it FLASH only my ROM, will it flash my Rom and also save my installations/settings? For example, if I want a clean ROM, do I need to format the phone first?
2) I really hate installing over 30 of my .cabs and .exes everytime I format the phone!
3) Does flashing my ROM to a new version require formatting the phone?
4) Is the ROM version the same as Firmware Version?
5) You said this:
If you want to upgrade your ROM with the update from your carrier you can do by following their instructions.
So How where do I go to update my OFFICIAL ROM?
I've gotten all of the softwares that I have ever wanted...thanks to you guys and thanks to the software I purchase
My next goal is to get the best capabilities out of my phone, (while learning this very new thing called rom flashing)
flashing
if you flash a new rom....(either custom or official)... you will have to install all of your cabs over again. flashing a rom will erase everything on the phone just like a hard reset.
if you want official firmware from an official source then go to sony ericsson's support website and download the software updated program. the other option is to go to the list of all available roms here on xda-dev site and just download the offical rom you want and flash it using the sd card method. if you choose to download and flash a custom rom you will need hard spl first.

Do you mean flashing it using the sd card method as in:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
Which means backing up my ROM before installing the update?
Also is this the official link to the OFFICIAL R2 Rom?
http://www.sonyericsson.com/cws/support/softwaredownloads/detailed/updateservice/x1?lc=en&cc=us
Also, if I install the ROM officially, would I still reformat my phone?

the first link is to "how to flash custom roms"....if you just want to flash an official rom with the sd card method you do not need the steps for the hard spl. just follow Step 2 (flashing roms)
the second link you provided is for the sony update software.. you download that and install it to your pc. connect phone to pc with active sync. launch the program and follow instructions.

YES, when installing a new ROM, official or cooked, through SEUS, SD-card or RUU, your memory gets erased.

yeah I just decided to update my rom the official way, and it told me it will delete my data. So I just purchased sprite backup right now, and I'm in the process of backing up.
By the way, why does the version on SEUS say version 2.9 and the version on our site says R2A?????

Dear anyone reading this: what is the difference between ROM version and Firmware version?
Thankyou for the answering.

Nothing realy.
This forum has shed loads of different terms and depending on the context depends on what people are on about.
ROM version and Firmware version are usually the same. I'd reckon it's whatever it says in the Device Information in Settings.
There's an OS / CE Build (or XIP/SYS) version which relates to the version of the operating system (Windows Mobile) on the phone.

Dear XDA-dev's & Users
Since a few days i have a HTC HD2
and i'm looking to flash it towards an Android Gingerbread.
i have done some flashing before on my nokia N97, and dont fear 'difficult' manuals.
As of reading some fora i'm willing to flash the NAND instead of a SD-rom (wich i think to be slower). no way i'm going back to WM6.5
however that's also where my 'ignorance' kicks in:
i'm severly suspecting that an SD-rom cant be used as a NAND-rom
is this true?
What is the difference between a ZIP-ROm and a NAND-rom/SD-rom?
The os i found most interesting doesnt list a rom, how do i know if its suited to be used as a NAND rom (i've read some using a partition on the sd card so i'm afraid its an SDrom
(http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1062881
and a final (probably expert obvious) question:
whats the exact benefit/ function of Clockwork/MAGLDR? (somethimes its even viewed as a mod instead of a program as stated in manuals)

Hi,
You are right in that you cannot use an sd-rom as a nand rom.
My suggestion is to start reading up on the subjects you need to start installing roms.
Please start reading here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=893948
Read also in my sig,guide number 2.
Finally,here is a list of current roms to choose from:

The more you read,the more you will learn,the fewer mistakes you will make
Thanks
Thanks dude, I was also looking for similar information.
I'm trying to find difference to the most popular HD2 windows Phone ROM's, but i can't seem to find much differences. Can someone try to explain it ?
I have tried the following ROM's:
[ROM] Back to the Future [XBmod-Yuki][Updatable]Build 8107 Ready
[ROM][21LANGS] 05.01.12 HD2O© v1.26 WP7 8107 FULLY UNLOCKED [online]
[ROM] DFT UltraFruit
06.FEB HD2 Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.5 mango 7.10.8107.79 v7.3 >FULLY UNLOCKED>CABS Update>
Edit: Forgot Pdaimatejam
and you forgot best ROM Pdaimatejam ROM 8107 v7.3
differences in HD2 - Windows Phone ROM's
this is a really good question. It seems that differences between Windows Phone 7 ROMs are much smaller than between Windows Mobile 6.x Roms (where different ROMs could be completely different, concerning free memory, interface (like Titanium, Manila, SPB Mobile Shell), different builds from different branches (COM2, COM5, etc.). But there are other differences that may be important:
- Back to the Future has build 7004 after flashing, so you have to update to build 8107. Advantage: no need to reflash for future updates, can be updated with cabs or Zune, customizable
- HD20: has already the latest build 8107, uses AnDim's multitouch driver v0.1.3, locks SD card (so no WP7+Android dualboot)*, no cab updates (yet)
- Ultrafruit: brings many new features, i.e. doesn't lock SD card, no camera trick required, but many people have random reboots due to new touch screen driver. Updateble, starts with build 7740
- Pdaimatejam: my personal favorite. Updateable with cabs, latest multitouch driver from AnDim (v1.0.4), build 8107, doesn't lock SD card (ability to dualboot with Android from partitioned SD card)
*not entirely true, see post #10 and 11
Izz0HD2 WP7.5 Build 7.10.8107 Public Beta v3
But why have forgotten Izz0HD2 WP7.5 Build 7.10.8107 Public Beta v3?
It is Enough simple, but worker, than and makes (imponiruet).
That possible compare.
There's little difference, backed up by the fact the main developers are now working together, everything based on ultrafruit has issues with battery and Bt, audio has been corrected in some of them, xbmod v2.1 is solid but lacks some important updates in ultra fruit, my advice is to wait for ultrafruit 2
Sent from my HD7 T9292 using XDA Windows Phone 7 App
When people say that a ROM doesn't "lock" the SD card does this mean that I won't have issues using the SD card in Android if I got rid of WP7? Last time I tried WP7 (Back to the Future ROM - first Mango release of it I think) I hadn't read about the SD card issues and I actually never managed to recover my SD card from it - I tried all sorts of programs and operating systems on both my PC and my phone but I never fixed it and had to buy a new one.
Now I've got a Lexar class 10 16GB card I really don't want to break it. :/
Pdaimatejam Rom Wp7.5 mango 7.10.8107.79 v7.3 .. nice at this time .
more good roms gonna come in future
but can somebody tell me how is the battery under wp7? wich ROM is the most friendly with the bat? wich one lasts longer?thank you very much!
There is no correct answer to that... Depends on the radio, even location where you are...
For me best was ultrafruit... BUT! I got with it random reboots...But only on 2G. Some viliages, subway... Places where is no 3G. But the battery performance was awensome... 4days in standby. And I was using the phone... Not often but using.
The BTTF 2.1 if I changed radio to 5.51(without T) than its mutch better... Still need for the camera trick, but stable rom. With almoust no issues... I haven't tested the Pdaimatejam so there is no compare to that.
Wainting for XBMods v3 or Ultrafruit 2...

Alright, so dualboot is possible with locked sd card if you first partition it and then flash HD2O's WP7. I didn't think about that. But If so, why does it matter at all, if a ROM locks the sd card or not? It should always be possible to unlock it with SDFormatter. At least I always had success with it and others too (here's a video tutorial).

No SDFormatter doesn't work on a fully locked SDCard. Windows simply will not recognize at all, so SDFormatter does not see it. Some seem to have even had them locked and not recovered, but I've unlocked a couple using a Nokia - just for the heck of it.
Reading the many posts on the forum, this seems to have improved dramatically recently. Most roms seem to have a work around now, some easier that others.

To me a usable camera without strange hues is important - this has been addressed by DFT UltraFruit and HD2 Pdaimatejam, and maybe some other recent roms.
Also Battery life is important to me - seems to depend on which radios are used - but this can be changed anyway before install - see the threads.
