Hi everybody,
I just adquired an HD Touch and now I want to try some things with my old Elf
I have a spanish Vodafone´s Elf, I made a sim unlock, a cid unlock but now I want to install a "standard" ROM, without any sign of Vodafone but I´m not sure of the steps I must take because everything is too new for me.
Can anyone say me the steps to take please? Thanks for read and believe me, I used the "search" of the website but the list of new terms is really huge for me and I don´t want to make a brick in the firsts attemps

Hello.
I want to change/upgrade my ROM to WM6. But I want to make a Backup of my existing from first (maybe I'm to stupid to do the Update) and to have the chance to get my MDA Vario back to life I want to make a backup of the ROM is installed at this time.
Could somebody maybe tell me how i can backup my ROM? And... How can I reinstall the ROM? I think it will be moved to the SD Card?
Thanks a lot.

Thanks for this.
May problem is that I have a "very" new ROM installed (T-Mobile MDA Vario 2.21.2.8 GER). and I'm unable to complete the the CID unlock process (the Netlock is removed allready with the lokiwiz 3a.).
If I'm entering the Bootloader and open mtty I'm .not able to open the USB port.
Does it mean I need to downgrade?
Thanks Maik
There is a newer public T-Mobile ROM on the T-Mobile website: Version 2.26.2
You need to downgrade your ROM to custom 1.05 (check the WIKI page) in order to run lokwiz CID unlocker!
I tried the version 3 of lokwiz but the only one which worked properly on my MDA was the version .2b
How ever,
the CID lock should not effect the MTTY utility. This is an official HTC procedure and should work on any WIZ.
UPDATE:
I just saw that you're talking about a german ROM? The latest public german ROM is 3.3.8 (check the german T-Mobile site for that!). If you want to keep the older 2.21 you can find it at the Austrian T-Mobile site again after downgrading and unlocking your CID
I am running the german rom AKU3.3 myself - it is much nicier than previous versions and has already some WM6 features integrated.
Ok. So I need to downgrade my Device. to do the CID unlock.
Maybe the system firewall and some other settings are affecting the MTTY issue.
I checked the T-Mobile website for the newer German ROM version.
If I check https://after-sales-service.t-mobile.de/eg_online/t-mobile/t_mda_vario.htm (what my Device is) I only see the 2.21 version and NO newer version?
1.
Go to www.t-mobile.de
2.
Click on top on the menu "HILFE & FAQ"
3.
Select on that site "Broschüren & Software"
4.
Now click on the left site menu on "T-Mobile Software"
5.
It takes you to a new page and asks you for your MDA. Don't worry if your PDA is not in the list! Just choose any PDA. It will take you to a new page and show you the selected PDA. Right underneath you will see a link: "Model aendern" - click on that link and then chose as Manufacturer T-Mobile and you will find the MDA VARIO!
Sorry for being so complicate but the T-Mobile site is set up with Flash, so, you can't just copy the link! You always have to go the loooong way! Be aware that you have to temporarely allow popup's ... !
How ever,
I will try to paste the link here to the direct download and I hope it works:
http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/t-mobile/ruu_vario_aku3.3_3822_382120_026911_tmo_de_ger_ship.zip
Hey the link works....
Thanks. I find out that my Device is a G4 device and I also see that I can't unCID this device... Right?
I'm a little bit in fear that something is going wrong during the Update to WM6 and I have no working Backup on my SD card.
Ok. So this steps I will do. Maybe you can currect me if I'm wrong.
1. I will perform a downgrade to the custom rom 1.05 and then I make a backup after running CID unlock.
2. I make a Backup with the MTTY
3. I will install the WM6
4. If not working I can backup from SD card and maybe install the newest ROM
You only should downgrade for CID unlocking your device! This is required for installing other ROMs than from your cell phone provider!
If you want to upgrade to the new german AKU3.3 from T-Mobile - that should work without CID unlock! You also should be able to downgrade to your existing ROM version in case you just dislike the new AKU3.3
BTW:
If you're planning to upgrade to a selfmade WM6 which you can find all over the web: I tried almost all of them! None was as stabile and good as the german T-Mobile AKU3.3! Sure, they look cute with their VISTA-style look but the functionality is far away from being perfect! Also: Lots of the ROMs are very user-personalized and contain no configuration for your network (such as GPRS and MMS) - my advice: stick to your provider ROMs, either AKU2 (which you're currently running) or the newer AKU3.3 from the link above - at least until you learnt flashing and registry hacking on your device!
WOW I allready can hack the Registry but having sometimes some issues with instructions here . Like I say before... I'm a little bit in fear...
Well, it is understandable! Noone wants to end up with a brick!
There is always a risk in flashing devices! I do it since years now and was unlucky only once by flashing a SIM locked ROM to a Motorola phone. Haven't had any problems since then. The best thing is READING and if you can't find answers just post your question. Next to it is always helpful to check also other Forums or try to find guides in your own mother tongue!
Hacking the registry is not really riskfully - at leat the only one thing what can happen is that your device won't start up and you might lose your files and data. Other than that you should be able in any case to get it running with a hard reset again by holding CON button and Voice Dial button at the same time and press Reset.
Flashing can destroy the device because of it actually erases everything in the device; even the ROM before it writes the new one. But even here you will be able to enter in BOOTLOADER mode in most cases.
Yeah thats right Junner. Reading and asking... Since I flashed my SDA wrong I'm happy to have a Backup on the SD card to get the Image back. If this is the case I'm happy.
I installed AKU 3.3 and it's looking good and working fine.
Maybe I will downgrade to the custom 1.05 and do a backup. I only want to look how the WM6 is looking.
Are you German? Or german speeking?
The ROM backup to SD card via MTTY should work without CID unlocking your device! There is no need to downgrade for that purpose. I had hard times by doing it too. It took me several trials until it worked finally!
The downgrade is only necessary if you're planning to install ROMs from other providers or ROMs in other languages. I asume you're german, so, if you don't believe anything I say - this you can believe: the german AKU3.3 is the best out there you can find for the WIZ
Like I mentioned earlier: all the WM6 ROMs you will find all over the web are user created! They are either taken off from other devices and changed around until they worked on the WIZ or just visual pepped up AKU3.3 ROMs (the one you installed now). Allthough, I did not find any WM6 out ther which did not have issues in one way or another ...
I speak a little bit german , yeah!

Mates, if I read my rom am i going to be able to copy it to pc and Dump it with a ROM Kitchen?

I have watched in all the forums, and have proven everything, even my HTC this unblocked, but I follow without seeing extrom, have proven with this tuto http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296276 to install another ROM and it gives a failure me at the end of writing in the ROM
Your device doesn't have to bee CID unlocked to be able write the images to the phone using this procedure.
Although this procedure seems to be pretty easy be careful Be sure you have at least one working ship update from your provider in case things go wrong
Uhm... I really thought that you need CID unlocked your device in order to make changes in your ExtRom... when I can recover my HTC I will make some tests about it...
I if you want pass my ROM, single you must say to me as he is and it attempt, is but if you speak in spanishl me you explain it in spanish by private, and I watch to have if you I can happen. A greeting
at chustaschus I wrote a pm
All I'm looking for is a quick WM6 look-a-like theme, rom, or skin to make my HTC wizard (att) look like it has a WM6 look with out ****ing it up. So if there's something out there that's simple but still can give the full effect, please send it to me or let me know where to get it from. Thank you.
EMAIL me at: [email protected]
just reflash it with one of the roms available and get the real wm6 instead why make it look like wm6 if its not?
as long as it is CID unlocked then it should flash fine.
install this one, just choose which file hosting site link that works, there are three to choose from

this rom is a lot better than wm5 and includes a lot of built in stuff that saves installing lots of apps
Up to you if you do try or not
if your device isnt cid unlocked it will just fail at 99%, but as it only takes 10 minutes to flash i wouldnt be bothered about it.
Make sure you backup the phone before you try as you will lose everything on the phone
Wow!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Anyways if you aren't lazy read the forums. Read the WIKI. If you have a Wiza-100 , Then if you can read and follow instructions. You should have no problem Upgrading your phone to wm6. Learn about Cid unlocking your phone. then you can download wm6 to your phone.
I was going to buy a new htc phone. Was tired of my old wizard. so i decided to try wm6 before i bought a new phone. And since upgrading i dont see any reason to buy a new phone.

When you bought the device,did you have a CD called ROM update utility or something like that? I have it with my Dopod.
hmm no i dont think so, but i can search my hundred cds
I found a cd with varios programms but no rom update utility so far.
Perhaps you could also advice me how to backup the original rom and install it if possible.
I know somebody else with a ameo. perhaps he can help.
Sorry, I don't have that experience. I would gladly help you if I know how. I'm sure there are many developers especially the ROM cook who know this like the back of their fingers. Come on, give this your guy a hand.
Check Mahmoods page here - http://mahmood1.com/ameo_athena_htcx750_WM6_ROMs.aspx
He has a list of available Roms near the bottom of the page.
Thank you for the link, i downloaded the tmobile rom but it didnt work i think because its not german.
Wrong vender id error. I need the original german rom to restore my machine and i think then i can update it.
Any german guys reading this? Somethere it must be avaible. or can somebody tell me how to extract rom from machine, becaue a friend of mine has the ameo too.
Hi at all!
Sorry but my english is not very good!
I want to know how I can flash any ROM on my Herald!?? It is not branded (original HTC)! I've read something about CID, can anybody tell me what this means?
Do I have to "unlock the CID" für flashing any ROM on my Herald?
CID lock, is a provider lock so you can not install another ROM on your phone. Look in the Herald thread for HARD-SPL.
But before hand, you have to know what your SPL and IPL is. Go into bootloader(press camera and softreset button and then relase only softreset button) You will get a 3 color display with numbers.
Those numbers should start with SPL/IPL 4 or 5! If you see like: 1.08.0000 eg. then you can't use this program till you upgrade to SPL/IPL 4 or 5.
You do NOT need to CID unlock because Herald users have a backway of flashing. Hard-SPL is a dangerous tool and not 100% compatible with ALL phones. Before using it, be aware that you may brick your device permanently. The other way is MUCH safer. Most of the posted ROMs here use that way, with the occassional (but not always successful while it IS safe) USPL.
Either way, make sure you have a copy of the stock RUU in hand before you begin.
Ok!
I want handle my Herald with this Touch "Style"! And I want that my Herald can handle with micro sdhc cards!
What is the most "risk free" possibility? I dont want to kill my Herald!
My english is not very good, so that I can not read and understand every post!

Any of the ROMs since they all come with "safe" ways to flash. HardSPL is done seperately.
Is it right, that I can flashing any ROM on my Herald?
Do I need to "unlock" my Herald, before this can be done?
On which way can I "unlock" my Herald?
Sorry but I'm a Newbie!!!!
You don't need to unlock anything. You can use any HERALD ROM. There's a thread I created around here that has instructions. Look for it under the Herald Mobile 6 forum and look for "Official flash" thread by ivanmmj.
Ok, thanks man!

Sorry, that I didn't understand you, but I'm VERY STUPID!
