Does anybody have any clue when the official rom for the tytn will be released? I have been waiting for days, I check the website single day and now every hour. I know there are more roms available but i dont want to void the warranty of my phone.
Is there any rom I can put without voiding the warranty?
Please forgive my ignorance and yes I searched through the forum before making this new thread.
am I the only one waiting for this?
Flame bait!
Before your fire suit completely burns through ( ), I'll close this thread and delete it later. If you flash any ROM found through this site that isn't your carriers official ROM, it will technically void your warranty (unless you use HardSPL).
The info you're looking for has been discussed into the ground. Look in the Hermes WM6 forum for more specifics.
Depending on which carrier you use, you could be seeing an official WM6 release anytime between one to several months.
Good luck and read up as much as you can if you want to learn about all the great things you can do your Hermes.
P.S. Start your journey in the Wiki.

Yes, by all the phone ghods, install HardSPL before attempting to flash the phone!
IF something goes wrong, your chances to recover the phone successfully increase a very large amount.
But PLEASE before starting to upgrade, read a little bit in the wiki about how to flash the phone, the dangers and what to do to decrease the risk. It will stop the homicidal rage building and being released in a mighty rush after hours of having to read and reread MORE information to try and find the answer to unbricking your Hermes. It would be a shame for you to destroy all you love (your hermes...... and anyone in the immediate vicinty) just because you hadn't read some of the useful knowledge gleaned and refined by the gurus of flashing. Any questions you have are probably answered in th posts but if you've looked, cant find an answer and need help, ask away. Happy upgrading and welcome...
As stated above read the WIKI and MrVanx's Hermes Upgrade Guide before doing anything
Dear all,
I am a new user of wm. Just got this mobile. There are many posts regarding new roms and all, but wondering upgrading or modifying existing mobile rom will have any affect mobile warranty. can someone put some light on this?
thanks
In my opinion upgrading the ROM with anything other than what is supplied as an official ROM upgrade but the manufacturer will void the warranty.

I am a Andriod user, recently went and got an HTC HD2 for T-mobile USA, I am pretty good at useing Andriod have rooted several devices. With that said two questions:
1) Does flashing/rooting the HD2 void any warranties? I have looked in the warranty guide before asking however the lit in there sucks!
2) Has ant one ported Andriod to the HD2, and what is the success of it?

1) Yes Flashing a custom rom does void your warranty, but it can be reversed.
2) No, It has not been ported yet

Thanks Zelendel!
check the t-mobile support site re: warranty issues. Basically if you brick your phone in a manner that can't be un-bricked, you's kind of SOL unless you were on an official release and going to an official release.
Check the various threads around here to see how to set up your phone in a fashion that maximizes your chance of un-bricking. You'll also find some talk of porting android OS to HD2.

Hello all!
I hope to heck that I'm posting this in the right forum. Anyhow, I'm really confused as to the ROM upgrades. I've searched the internet and they've confused the heck outta me. Now, I'm more confused than when I first started. So far as I know, the ROM upgrades help streamline the speed and efficiency of the HD2. Are there any other benefits? By me downloading and installing this new ROM, is it going to mess with my warranty? Will it make my phone crash more? I'm sorry for all the stupid questions. What I am looking for is for someone to maybe email me directly and teach me to "walk".
I would greatly appreciate any and all help from you guys. And again I apologize for the stupid questions.
Thanks!

Follow that step by step. Yes it does technically void your warranty but is easy to revert back to factory just in case you need to send it in. The advantages of a cooked rom is they typically are faster and more stable than the stock rom.
the rom version isn't really what voids warranty, (unless you have a particularly outlandish rom installed) After all, the roms are all pretty similar, and all based on stock roms.
Most of the changes 'could' have been done with cabs and clever tweaking.
The deal breaker is HSPL. send a phone back with hspl installed and they will laugh and tell you it will cost £200 for a new mainboard because yours is damaged by 'unlicensed software'
This past week I installed Android 2.2 on my 1024 HTC HD2 (T-Mobile US) using the Video Tutorial by Tech Burrow and FAQs. I used the Android NAND ROM linked under the video. Everything is working ok and I've been reading the forum and debugging for the past few days...
*this is the first time I've done any type of software modification for phones
Today I clicked on the "NAND Bible" post and the "CleanDROID v2.55" is looking like a better option since I don't use Facebook and all that other stuff that comes preinstalled. I'd be happy to dump all the bells and whistles for something cleaner and faster, with more disk space. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=10675863
On the Wiki page for HD2 it says "Try not to flash Custom ROMs unless they say that they're definitely compatible with the 1024LEO, or You'll be sorry!"
My Questions:
1) Is this ROM safe for my phone?
2) If so, is it worth it to perform this upgrade? I'm not familiar with all the technical specs, and don't want to "fix something that ain't broke."
3) If so, for install can I just follow #3 of the Guide [For Newbs]?
Many thanks!
Note as said by a members siggy
If you don't want to void your warranty, you're visiting the wrong site.
I don't know if it is safe as I can't understand the coding to linux. but if you can, his source should be stated and you can check it to see if it is safe.
worth the upgrade isn't something we can tell you for we know not of your current status. E.g what works and what doesn't work for you.
I don't know what is step 3 of the guide. But if you know how to install, then install.
Note your questions really don't even need a thread for, these could be done by searching the forums through the search button or even manually. So next time, do a little thinking for yourself first, it helps your brain from rotting. No harsh feelings.
Hmm I've already installed a ROM so not really worried about voiding my warranty at this point.. more worried about bricking my phone..
Well if you had done even more reading, you'd know HSPL is a software prevention of bricking your device. So the only way to brick your device now is through hardware.

Hey mate the best rom for you if you like sense is the core droid rom look in nand builds. if your looking for gingerbread without sense i would say ultimate droid. but please read before flashing through dft or flashing through clock work mod. and only way your bricking the phone is if you flash wrong radio or rom to it. both of the roms i stated are fine for tmous hd2's have fun modding your hd2 and welcome to xda
Thanks Rotary, will check those out.
