Hi guys!
I'm not easily puzzled by terms and stuff to do to tweak your hardware, but since I'm all new to WM, I am trying to make sense of how to go ahead with running a custom ROM. I have a TC with original UK ROM.
First, obviously I should make a dump of my currently installed ROM. I am just very unsure how I achieve that?
Second, I have figured out that I need to Hard-SPL to get rid of certificate-checking in de device to run ROMs.
Third, I need to flash a custom ROM ... at this point I can have my way with the device, and do what I want. Also, not clear how I do that, unfortunately
Offcourse, at some point I will want to return my device for maintenance, warranty or maybe even sell it ... at which point I need to un-do the HardSPL hack, and reflash with the original image ... How would I go about that?
I've searched the forum, and I couldn't find it unfortunately, maybe, since I am a newbie, I missed a term to search for, or maybe I completely misunderstood
Any hints are very welcome!

All of your questions had been answered a number of times already in this forum so there's only one thing you can do, Search and you will find the answers.
Hi. I'm actually searching for the same stuff and haven't found some all-in-one topic yet.
Don't mind "kutonglupa", i'm beginning to think he's a bot on this forum. Even though you say (i did it too) that you used the search function he can only come with one response: "use the search".
I'll keep searching too.
Try this for starters: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
You probably know this already
Hard-spl flash:
Download hard-spl
Plug the usb cable to your pda.
Run RomUpdateUtiliy on PC.
PDA will display tricolour.
You will be asked REPLUG you usb cable. DO IT!
After a few second Hard-spl will be upgraded!
Rom flash:
Download the rom
Step manually to bootloader (press and hold camera button and press reset)
You will get a tricolor screen.
Plug the usb cable to your pda
Start RomUpdateUtiliy.exe (or Rom.exe) on you Pc.
Pda screen will be grey, you will see the process indicator.
When it is 100%, update is finished.
Radio-rom flash
The same as rom flash above, just download and use the radio-rom.
Back to offical rom + radio:
The same as rom flash above, just download and use the offical rom!
Back to original spl:
At this time no working method as I know...

See! Now you know you'll find a more comprehensive explanation if you'll just search, init? You've learned the lesson and you've earned your respect. CONGRATS DUDE!
Thanks
Newbie thanks for opening this thread,
it give a very good overview what to really do for flashing the Rom without having to read through XX Pages.
Unfortunately I have still have not found a right link on how to backup my orginal O² German ROM.
What do I need for this just in case I do need to send in the Polaris?
Is the software specifc for the Polaris?
Look forward for a quick note.
Cheers
Rar9
Be careful with what you try from the Kaiser forum in terms of tweaks though, I've read people had problems using them on the Polaris. see the Polaris tips and tricks thread for details

Thanks dude. You're welcome!
I was reading now in the whole forum for about two whole afternoons, and I have to say that I still have the same questions as the threadstarter.
These questions answered once and for all, this thread would be worth pinning in my opinion, because complete newbies don't know where to find the necessary information in this really huge forum.
For the case someone wants to come up again with "use search", I will try to make clear, what problems of newbies (including me) are:
For example: I now already found three different lists of HTC-cab-files in the forum, one here in the polaris-section, one in the general section, a half one in the wiki... often without version-info, and so don't really know whats the actual one...
so far so confusing, I tried to search for the answers onto the exact same questions as the threadstarter posted. in the wiki, there is simply nothing on WM6, no tools, no real how-to, nothing a newbie can use.
Only thing I could understand from wiki, is that cooking an own ROM, needs to have a unix(-like) OS, and even there, I'm not sure if it is still actual for WM6.
Reading a bit around, I then was glad to at least find out that the devices are locked for non-certified ROMs, and that one needs to do that HardSPL.
Well that's as far as I could get until now, and I really don't know much more than before. Pretty unsatisfactory...
So could anyone make (or point to) a little overview of what one needs to know about dumping, flashing WM6-ROMs, and before flashing, what one needs to "cook" an own ROM.
Perhaps I was imagining this way to easy, but I thought about nLite/vLite-style applications for customizing ROMs?! Probably you'll all laugh at me, but I would very much appreciate taking me serious, because I want to learn how to do it. Simply don't want to lose time searching the forum for information, that don't help me advance...
thanks a lot
Eric
EDIT:
well I found this, which I can only recommend to all newbies: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
with this, questions of flashing are all answered,
but what tools one needs for dumping, flashing, editing ROMs and all of the remaining questions mentioned above remain open
Hello, I am bad in english, so please give me please the link to the newest ROM and RADIO version for HTC TyTN (HERM100). He is unlocked. Please give me the ROM WM6 or WM6.1 clean, so without others aplications, like ROM from official HTC
Thanks very much, sory for maybe spam, but i cant search becouse I dont understand nothing
This is in bootloader:
HERM100
IPL-1.01
HERM100
SPL-1.11
Hi...take a look here to get started with rom info (most are using WM6.1):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419530
And what version is like official from HTC Diamond, becouse this ROMs are modified and added many programs, i want the hole ROM instalation WM6.1 for Hermes, you understand me??
There are NO official wm6.1 for hermes...they are all ported from other devices & cooked!
I know man, a said like official ROM, so where is on this forum the ROM for Hermes with WM6.1 which is most similar to "Hermes official" (if that will been)
So I look for hole ROM instalation without programs from user modificators
When searching for roms pay attention to keywords such as "clean" or "naked." These are usually stripped down and should be what you're looking for. Also, for many of the usually bloated roms they also offer "Lite" versions which don't include as much custom software.
Does that answer the question?
There was some ROM nothing changed/added/removed ... but I can't find it now.
EDIT: found it - http://rapidshare.com/files/152424620/anryl910_19212.rar.html
I have IMATE JasJam
In Device Information it appears HERM100 PocketPc
Can someone please tell me where can I get WM6.1 ROM for my phone

Rom Version is 3.54.255.3 I downloaded it from some link present on this forum I don't remember now, I cannot find any other ROM for my device
There is a whole section of this forum DEVOTED to ROMs... Go to WM06 part, thats where all the newest ROMs are to be found.
Just make sure to Hard SPL your Hermes first or you may be looking at a brick...

u have to install bluetooth stack.....I did so after getting receiving problems in bluetooth after flashing my jasjam with pandora 6.1 naked rom.the problem was that the incoming beam wud fail itself even if the other device is visible and connected.now the default bluetooth prgrm is not at all used.the new stack works perfect and much better..........if u r lukin 4 a clean rom for tytn try the pandora naked rom.I had probs like keyboard mapping(do registry edit or dwnld advncd configuration tools and select english in keyboard options*it needs .net framework) and bluetooth.other than that its good
With kind regards and thanks to a member of this forum, stuliv12, who provided us with a link to a HTC Click ROM, im asking all the chefs of this forum to be so kind and port Android on Jade. Only you have the skills needed to do so.
I believe that many of us here would want to make their Jade even better, by running Android on it
I have uploaded the ROM to Megaupload, so that you dont have to go to the original site and register.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=FSD6CJ8N
Looking forward to seeing and testing Android on Jade.
Thank You in advance.

It's really good news. Let's improve this sparkle and make a big fire.
I want to use Android on my Jade so much.
I'm willing to support to develepors at least as a tester.
I appreciate the efforts of arseny1991 to encourage the Jade users about Android.
I hope we'll hear some good news soon.
Greetings,
I also would love to help with this project.
Please cooks, tell me how i could help... I have some IT knowledge, but really didnt had the time yet to learn how to cook...

i believe that we need to test Android with Haret first, because its more safe (we wont brick our Jade).
To do so, we should get the kernel out of the Tattoo ROM. Any idea how we can do that ? How to decompile the ROM provided earlier in this thread ?
I did have a go at opening up the attached file (the .exe above)
I used uniextract to extract the .exe and then that revealed a whole load of files, but the bulk of the space was taken by a cab file (90 odd mb). I tried to open the cab but can't succeed - I can see the content is made up of 2 files and 1 of the files is a .img file so this is the kernel.
All have a go and see if you can get to this file.
Louis
thats the same with me, i can see the two files and the .img, but i cant seem to extract it, if i could, i have the hariet for my elf, and can just swap the img files etc to see how it starts.
The main issues i would have thought would be how the keys are mapped, as the Tattoo has the home and back buttons, i assume we could re-map these to up and down respectivly?
any thoughts?
Lets not get ahead of ourselves worrying about the mapping of buttons - the first major hurdle is getting all the necessary files, and then the second major hurdle is booting - Once we have achieved those 2 goals we can worry about button mapping.
Anybody got any ideas about how to extract those files? Anybody extract files from a HTC rom .exe before as they could be packed in a similar fashion.
Louis
look what i stumbled upon.....

Good find - unfortunately the links don't work - I see the links have been asked for - lets hope they post.

What are your impressions about android compared with WM ?

1. the scrolling is very smooth on the tattoo much faster than my jade
2.the music sound 100 times better than the jade(tattoo has a 3.5jack)
3. putting aps on the android is a bit if a pain ie u just cant download a cab and just click it on ur phone these are .apk files and to install the same u need to use the sync and a tool called the aps installer on the same to install an application this u can do only through the comp a little bit of a a pain
and their is some thing called the rooting on the android something like our HSPL i still havent got it its not as easy as the HSPL we do
u need to create a gold card all that stuff which is still quite confusing
but i am enjoying the feel of the tattoo its great experience
and u dont have anything like our pim backup for the android so every time u flash a new rom u need to sync with ur comp or google account
this is also quite a pain for me
but u realy cant compare a WM to ADM
from my experience both are diffrent and thank god i kept my jade and did not dispose it so i got two toys to pay with
Note : the india version of the tattoo is not 3G
Thanks Haree for the reply. I think that Android is very promising OS but we are in the beginning and like anything it needs time to be well developed , also programs for it. In this point of view WM is years in front.
Hello!
I've have a new gene i.e. P3400i with Original HTC ROM windows 6.... and i want to flash it with new 6.5 Roms cooked here by many members and i really appreciate their work ... I'm confused in choosing proper ROM from the POOL of ROM's available in forum.... i no this question is outdated but still can anyone help me to choose which ROM to burn so as i get good phone performance and also good in GUI!.... I've seen lite version ROM's here also but still not able to decide which to use for my GENE.....
my second question is, can anyone provide the GENE SERVICE MANUAL or REPAIR MANUAL and not User manual.... i need it... i'll be highly obliged if anyone provide it.. . i searched on the web but couldn't find..

Hey there,
A close friend of mine has a HTC Touch HD and he never updated its ROM or anything because, well, he's not really familiar with the whole Windows Mobile or HTC world in general, and neither am I.
It has recently been freezing way too much and I believe that's because it has never been formatted, updated, or anything. Therefore, I borrowed the device from him in an attempt to try and fix that.
I'm familiar with Nokias, BlackBerries, iPhones, and have actually owned a couple of HTC phones but for a short while and never really bothered with backing up, updating, or such.
Can someone please guide me on what to do? I believe it has Windows Mobile 6.1 and the latest is 6.5 (according to research I've done). There is also something called ROM which is the OS, I suppose, that you install on the device, and I found hundreds of ROM and I don't know WHICH one to install or even HOW to install it.
I have also downloaded HTC Sync from HTC's website but it's not detecting my phone at all. Right now I downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center for Windows 7 64-bit in an attempt to connect with the device and backup or w.e.
Thank you so much in advance and please help me!

Installing ROMs is eassy on XDA. There are a lot of guides! For example, go to the windows mobile ROM development and search for what you want!
Maybe this info will help you:
-a ROM is a file which contains the OS you want to install. To install a ROM, you must connect your phone to USB and use special tools (use a guide to know);
-BUT before flashing, you must have SPL, which is a bootloader unlocker so you can install any ROM you want. And you can also update your radio.
Just basic info, check the guides please!

Thank you for your reply, mate. I swear all I've been doing is checking the guides and the FAQ and I still cannot manage to do the HSPL unlocker, unfortunately. It keeps giving me an error. I'm going to try in a couple of hours and see what I can come up with.
Can you please link me to any ROM that is WM6.5 and working fine? I really don't care what is missing from or added from it as long as it's working.
read the sticky, where all the guides and the rom link there
Thank you guys very much. I read the guides in the threads (BlackSTONEhenge Hyper) and the guide on how to do the HSPL thing and it worked!
Right now I am at 80% of the WM6.5 ROM installation. Hopefully everything turns out great in the end.
By the way, all I needed to backup was the SMS messages and the contacts, and I did that on a site called Bloove. Right now I can see them on bloove.com in my account, but does any body have any idea how to restore them on the HTC device using Bloove?
Thank you very much.
