Hello... I got my mogul 6800 over a year now. I flashed it with an unlocker I believe. I can't remember, but I do remember 3 colors when I was flashing then flashed a test rom with GPS. Here are the specs.
ROM version 3.16.651
RoM date 12/5/07
Radio Version 3.27.00
Now I want to know how I should go about flashing new rom from HTC? First, how do I know if I used the unlocker, how can i check if i used it? also if I did use a unlocker do i need to use relocker before I flash new rom? Plus is there any reason to use Opris 1.40 or 2.40 to use a custom rom rather than the official one? please advise steps or tutorials please... thanks

I have bought cingular 8525 with 1.6 version but its locked.Can anyone tell me how to unlock it free with no hastles. Thanks
Do you mean you have a bootloader version 1.06? If so, that is what I just did about 2 days ago.
Simply go to the TyTN wiki and find the list of ROMs. Get the Cingular ROM version 1.30 with the 1.04 boot loader. Flash that, do the unlocker thing that is stickied in the upgrades forum for the Hermes, then you can upgrade to whatever ROM you wish. I recommend the 1.09 bootloader ROM by HTC. It has the best performance out of all of them and it is now possible to downgrade if you want again.
BTW, once you unlock in 1.04, it stays with you nomatter what ROM you flash.
Good luck

Not true.
Once you CID unlock, you can flash ANY rom, but bootloader 1.04 will not stay.
Whoops
That is exactly what I meant, thanks Pof.
I want to switch back to WM5 and require the official WM5 WWE ROM, where do I get it. (CID/SIM unlocked). I also need the official/best radio/GSM for it. any links? and do I need to downgrade my SPL/IPL version for it?
or does the ROM includes the Radio/GSM?
ok installed K-JAM_WWE_216901_2169101_020710_ship and it solved most of issues.
hi, Just received my X1 yesterday. The os rom/radio rom on my phone are older version. I am going to update both of them. I have read a lots about rom upgrade on this site, but I am now confused that nearlly every post saying need to re-flash the SPL rom first before doing any update. My question is do i need to flash the SPL first if I just want to upgrade to the generic rom? For example, the rom on my phone currentlly is UK(probably customised for O2) version, now I just want to flash to a newer verison of UK os rom and radio rom( I don't want to mass up the SPL rom yet, just in case there is any problem with my phone). Can someone give me a answer?
Thx.
the uk generic rom is an official rom. so no need to flash spl. im not sure abt the radio rom.

Thanks mate. I am still waitting for some to help me out!
You need to flash spl with hardspl when you will try one of the custom roms on that site here and when you download a radio from this site...
You don't need to flash hardspl, when you update from s/e update service from you computer
just use the sony ericsson update service (seus)
however im not certain if theres an o2 update out yet, if yours is o2 branded
however, youve only had your device for 1 day! dont you think itd be a good idea to try using it before you start messing? good idea t
Also
Don't forget, my VOda was able to install the GENERIC UK without HardSPL so it's possible 02 should work also, because they don't lock their top end phones. (My Voda UK is also SIM-Free).
Hi gents
I havnt played with a WinMo phone since I had a Motorola Windows Mobile 2003 phone.
I have a UK O2 Branded HTC HD2, currently with ROM 1.43.206.4 WWE and Radio 2.04.50.22.2
I have ran HSPL ready for any cooked ROMs i might fancy
However, I am wondering if it is possibly to backup the current O2 rom incase i need to go back to it..restoring it to facotry settings if you will.
Is this possible?
Also, will an official ROM update both rom and radio and anything else ?
Thanks alot !
Hello,
As far as I am aware you can't backup a rom in the way I think you mean, ie if it all goes pear shaped you would like to restore the o2 rom from scratch.
If you search around (look in the wiki, not been there for a while) you might find an o2 rom in the repository. If so then you can copy it somewhere ready for if/when you need to "burn" it back in.
Unless you have a particular reason or lurve for the o2 rom you could just use the standard HTC rom if ever you needed to go back to a stock rom.
I take it you have read the threads on here about using roms, etc?

Answer to your other questions: an official rom will update rom and radio. However if you use Bepe's SPL method then that only updates the rom (his method is good for updating cooked roms).
You can also use the goldcard method to update official roms and radio's only Or go onto HTC's site and do it from there). Best bet is to go and have a really good read of these threads and get to thoroughly understand the subject matter including the risks!.

Hi -
I've had my HTD HD2 a few days now and want to upgrade to an official ROM which will hopefully sort out a few minor instability problems that it has at the moment, and more importantly battery life issues.
The current ROM version is 1.43.405.1 (70124) WWE.
Firstly could someone please advise me which ROM version I should upgrade to? On the European HTC site the latest is 1.48.405.2 but apparently there is a 2.02 out too?
Also, could someone advise me where I should download the ROM from? I can't use the HTC official site as my serial number is blocked due to Vodafone only allowing ROM upgrades through them. I've found this link from this site http://www.4shared.com/dir/22189940/b8552fa0/Shipped_Leo_ROMs.html but am not sure if i'm looking at the correct thing?
Finally, could you please tell me which guide I should follow? I was thinking this one... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591314
Thanks in advance for your help
1.48 is the official HTC one so I'd say give that a go first...
Best guide is the one for n00bs as it tells you how to install HSPL as well which makes life SO much easier (apparently, still on 1.48 myself)...have a good read and go from there...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
1.48/1.61 are the latest official roms.
2.01 and 2.02 are unofficial leaked ones.
Stick with 1.61 or 1.48 for stock. You can then always flash a new radio too.
Install HSPL, then put the ROM image you pick on an sdcard as LEOIMG.nbh. Or install via activesync.
Thanks for both the replies. Sorry could you clarify which is the latest official? 1.61 or 1.48?
I thought I need to use a gold to upgrade? Would the guide you linked to, EddyOS still be okay? Because it does not mention the gold car in it anywhere, wheras the one here does...
And finally, could you explain what HSPL is and how it would be beneficial?
Thank you!
bump.. any help is appreciated. thanks
These are questions best asked and answered in the ROM Development section, not here in General., but briefly, HSPL will let you flash any rom from any region, including cooked roms. Goldcard will let you flash OFFICIAL roms from any region, but unless you already have a goldcard, you will have trouble making one, as the free goldcard generator went offline a few days ago.
Having HSPL on your device will probably be enough of an excuse for your supplier to not support your warranty, though you can uninstal HSPL if needed.
Go read the Rom development section over and over and over again is the best advice.
1.61 is the latest official ROM, but it is localised only for WWE and Turkish.
Yes, and HSPL will let you recover from a bad flash too.
