I have put the v0.53 ROM from bepe on my TC wich works like a charme. The only thing is that i cannot get to update the radio. The bepe ROM has an older version radio in it, so i wanted to update it, but the utility keeps saying to me that he cannot connect to my device. Anyone an idea?
Also i want to know how i can cook my own ROM? I have a few tools, like WIMP, wich i wanna cook into my ROM, so when my device gets stolen and the lucky finder/thief does do a hard reset, i still can get my phone back.
Anyone has an idea how to do that?
Finally i have updated my radio. It appears it was my USB cable.
Anyone has an idea about building an own ROM?
Is Kaiserkitchen a good tool for building my own ROM for the POlaris, or should i stay away from it?

As I am reading through the posts in this website I realize that I am not as technical as I would like. I am trying to simply make my Mogul more responsive and functional. I would like to be able to use the GPS with Google Maps, once this feature is available, and obviously I would like everything to look cool.
I currently have the following installed:
ROM Version 2.17.651.0
Radio Version 1.47.01
SPB Mobile Shell
SPB Phone Suite
Opera Mobile
Can anyone offer assistance on what I should do/add next?
the first thing id do is upgrade your radio and get on one of DCD's roms. instant GPS. winmo 6.1 also makes your phone much faster. umm ditch SPB, it slows everything down like crazy and pick up HTC home and HTC home customizer. make sure you have the newest opera, not the beta, its much better. thats what i got for you so far, if i think of anything else ill let you know
In general I understand what you are saying, but I am not sure I understand how. Where would one go to upgrade the radio and get a dcd rom?

follow the directions here (follow them in order and you'll be ok)
you can get the latest DCD rom here

(just a note to you. these roms that people are making take a lot of hard work and time, and all of the GPS roms are based of a leaked test rom(it's not official from sprint or whom ever your carrier is) so there are bugs and they are working hard to fix the issues. most likely if you have a problem it's been had before so search through the threads for the answer)
ok so let me make sure I understand...
I do these things in this order?:
1. Hard SPL Unlocker
2. Radio 3.27
3. DCD ROM 2.2.6
Is this correct?
Also, will I be able to load other software on top of this ROM?
Also, what is the difference in a ROM and a Kitchen?

switch the radio and the rom placement
(this supposedly helps keep your information intact so you don't have to call your provider and get the Akey)
1. Hard SPL Unlocker
2. DCD ROM 2.2.6
3. Radio 3.27
you will be able to put programs on top of this rom
a kitchen lets you customize the rom before you flash it to your phone

Problems upgrading should be posted under the Titan Upgrading forum. You will get a much quicker response, also you will see this has been a common issue that is resolved in several posts. Use forum search.
Thanks
Thanks for the info. I found What I neede............but made another problem for my self
Hi Folks!
First I would like to say that you are doing a lot of great work which will make the life with our little electronic friends alot easier! I saw these Windows Mobile 6.1 images from Pepe and I just must have it. But since I'm completly new to PPC's, I have a few questions about it.
1. Is there a list of features of the different "Editions" for the Bepe images?
2. How do I flash the ROM to my phone? Is there some kind of HowTo?
3. I have an O2 XDA Orbit 2 which is an Polaris 200. Is that the right platform? I just don't want to mess anything up on it.
4. What will happen to my TomTom Navigator software? Can I reinstall it using the package included DVD?
Thanks for your patience and for answering my questions!

I think you mean Bepe and not Pepe?
1) Premium = Full; Opera = No TomTom; Standard = No TomTom, No Opera Browser; Basic = Light
2) First of all you have to install HardSPL and then you can flash the Rom (just download the rom, the tool for flashing is built in).
3) Yes, it´s right. I did the same.
4) Grab the Premium-Version, there´s TomTom included. This might be work without reinstalling from the TomTom-DVD. I prefer IGO8.
Further information can be found here.
Good luck.

Thanks alot! So at last I need to know is if the Bepe ROM's contain any radio stuff or which one I should take.
radio is included. at least i didn't had to install any additional stuff...

No, Radio is NOT included, but the one already on your phone will not be affected by flashing this ROM or any other ROM not containing Radio. The CustomRUU will always update only what is included in the ROM and leave the rest as it is.
If I'm wrong, correct me.
Radio rom is not included
FM Radio is
Guys I got it! This Newbie HowTo is really great!
First I tried the Polaris unlocker. It has three steps, but only the first, flashing the Hard SPL worked for me for unknown reason. I thought Hard SPL is on the device, it runs up fine, three coloured screen says Hard SPL so I was going for the Bepe 0.67 Premium ROM. This worked really fine. After that, I did a hard reset as recommended and made my settings. Then I tried to flash the radio. Well... This made me kinda nervous, I thought I f*cked something up and bricked it. It showed me an error 262 at 99% and then some kind of recovery stuff started. I was a bit too nervous so I choose next where I shouldn't. But removing the battery, and flashing the new radio again while seeing the three coloured screen worked fine for me. WiFi and 3G phone calls work fine, the rest should be also ok I think. Well, thanks for this great ROM's folks! Now I'm happy that I bought my HTC instead of this piece of brick called iPhone.
I'm a noob when it comes to flashing Roms. I've never flashed a custom ROM before, only AT&T's WM6.0 upgrade when that first came out.
I have an 8525 and want to flash ROMeOS v4.21 onto it. I know I need Hard SPL which I downloaded (Hard-SPL-V7.zip). I downloaded this file http://rapidshare.com/files/136228827/_ROMEOS_421_ROM.ZIP, but now I'm not 100% sure what to do here. Do I need to download anything else? Did I even download the right thing? I downloaded it from here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411692
Could somebody hold my hand and help me out a bit? What exactly is the next step. How do I flash this ROM onto my 8525 now w/o bricking my phone?
I appreciate all the help, and plan on paypaling the creator of this rom, and hopefully somebody who helps me out w/ flashing the rom as well.
It's always good to start at the beginning, especially when it comes to flashing ROMS. Start HERE; this is a page I created for newcomers that has most everything you need to know about your phone. Especially important for ROM flashing would be MrVanx Upgrade Guide.

Hi.
Can someone please tell what is the difference between.. radio and a ROM
i see lot ppl asking for new version of Radio or ROM. Hw r these 2 thing different??
Thanks a lot
I have been trying 2 research the same thing. I have flashed a new ROM. but have no clue on how to install a new Radio, or even where to get them... is there a list and tuts anywhere on how/what to install?
Bee searching with no luck, though I did find a Radio that CR86 had a link to on his Touch HD v2.6 rom though have no idea on how to proceed to install the Radio, so I have my default one on my Wizard atm.

thanks for the info cooper_xda, made things easier, but I'm learning alot about the software side of these devices lately
LAYMAN TERMS.
Radio : phone's communication software to your network/carrier
ROM : Phone's UI Software.
Or, something like that.
correct if wrong.
And to update both radio and rom, you have to flash it, nbh files is avail at htc upgrading forum.
pretty much got it right lol
radio controls all gsm and 3g functions (calls internet etc)
rom is basically windows mobile and all OEM software
Hello!
One of my friends brought me an old Yakumo delta 300 GPS 2L PDA from Germany, to install a new WinMo on it.
Does anybody know how to do it? I really know nothing about doing such things, and all I could find about updating such a device was a german forum, with outdated links.
It would be very important for me! Thanks!
to build a 6.5rom for those devices u should make many files
one of the most importantes is NK.EXE that u can easily put that in ur rom with new Ervius kitchen
Problem is that I don't know how to do so. I have no experience in Windows Mobile, that's why I am asking for your help.

Its not so simple since you aren't exprenced with Windows Mobile devices. Its highly possible to brick the device easily if something goes wrong.
First the device should be CID unlocked so that you can flash custom ROMs.
Second you will need to find custom ROMs for it or else if you want to cook, you either need to get a stock ROM of it so that you can dump it, replace its files (i.e SYS and XIP), recook it using suitable kitchens, finally flash it but its not over. There are many thing to do. And I say again its possible to brick the device if something goes wrong.
I would better suggest to stay with what ever it has.
Since HTC is very popular, we research lot and minimize risks before doing anything but your device seems very old and not known much so its risky job.
As Mr.zeus said, NK.EXE is just a part or file of/in the kernel aka XIP. You will need many things to cook a ROM. Stock ROM of your device would be good for start.
Thanks...
Best Regards
Well, thank you very much.
Then looks like, I am shot here :S
Can you please give me any navigation system what should work on this device, and has maps for Hungary, Germany, Austria?
i can tell u one thing...my htc wizard is running wm6.5.3...so it is quite possible to hav new os on old fone.....
