New Questions here, old one at the bottom.
hi and thanks to everyone for your answers... you helped me a lot.
but:
I tried various 6.5 and 6.5.3 roms and found a lot of bugs in all of them... and that's not really my style. I want to go back to stock firmware 6.1 and there are not many options (or maybe i wasn't able to find them). Where can i find the Stock Firmware section or something like that, if they are unbranded even better, and if you can direct me to the latest one even better... i have installed the one from Orange in spanish meanwhile, i think it's Ver 1.57.75.3 found here. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566929 but if there are better unbranded ones i'll be very happy to install them... (how about this one: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521354).
Thanks a lot again in advance...
old Question:
Hi, i bought yesterday my new Opal and i have no idea how to update the rom to windows 6.5... I´m a bit of a perfectionist so i wanna get things right from the beginning, and i used to mod motorola phones so i understand some of the technical stuff, but htc is completely new to me.
So far, this is what i have understood:
to update:
1.- install hard_spl
2.- install custom ruu
3.- install new rom.
But i have a lot of questions on what is each one of those things and the advantages they give.
What does Hard_SPL do?
What is the Custom RUU for? (what is the RUU?)
What is the most stable and least customized rom with winmo 6.5? which rom is the most used by this forum?
What is titanium?
and last: how is the Opal unlocked? (if posible)
Mi goal is to update to winmo 6.5 but keep my phone looking as stock as possible and as stable as possible...
all the help i can get will be very appreciated...

Congrats for your Htc touch viva!
Ok now initially Htc touch viva has its official spl which would not allow your device to upgrade to custom roms. You can only upgrade to official roms. So Spl is a kind of lock To unlock that only we use Hard SPL After installing HSPL you can upgrade to custom roms.
And you understood slightly wrong because Ruu = Rom update utility its just a app which is used to upgrade your rom in your device. So u dont install that. After HSPL directly rom
And about the roms i cant say coz every one has different flavours try them all At last titanium is a new interface made by microsoft and introduced in wm 6.5 and above.
A Word of Caution....
I want to add one thing...(IMPORTANT!!!)
#1
WM6.5.x has not yet been officially released for HTC Touch Viva T2223.

#2:
If you are looking forward to experiment with it...go ahead on your own risk as your phone will be void of warranty after 'HardSPLing' it.

#3:
Don't think that a particular WM 6.5.x ROM will work for your device just because it worked like a charm on somebody's device. Believe it or not, though it may be the same model ex: HTC Touch Viva T2223, there are variations depending on the country.

I learned the hard way...I took a roundabout ticket....i HardSPLed my device, flashed custom roms, tweaked and played and fooled around with it and has come to a conclusion.

P.S: I didn't mean to frighten you!!!!I can assure you 100% that your mobile won't blow up in your face even if you fiddled with it's innards!!
I want to add one thing to what freelancer said:
Imo it is not ALWAYS the best to stick with the stock version. I had branded ROM shipped with my phone, hardSPLed it and installed custom translated unbranded ROM.
Does the same thing as branded ROM did but way faster. And some features like the HTC task manager didn't work with branded rom at all. Now everything works just fine.
I agree that stock ROMs are the best/fastest, but just not if you have a branded one. It slows down your device.
Just my opinion

Lol, who said that stock is rom is best as far as about opal you should go ahead with custom roms i have seen that custom rom gives more free ram then stock. Plus task manager in stock rom that can be done in custom also the thing is the more the rom is lite the more efficiently your device will work do you know the stock rom .nbh file size is more than 100 mb whereas a normal custom rom is around 90 mb if there are many app and you can create less than 50 mb stock rom also. Wm 6.5 is perfect for opal inface wm 6.5.x also.

#1 >>>>> And it will never be announced!!! LOL
#2>>>>>> Well actually not because you can return to stock SPL!!!
#3>>>>>>> WELL I have to disagree!!!! The hardware is all the [email protected]@@@ LOL
#>>>>>>>>HMMM It all bottles down to personel Taste,, bro
THE VERDICT!!!!
Custom Roms RULE!!!!!
i don't mean to disagree with you guys (you know better) but i didn't mean to say that WM6.1 v1-vx is bad but as far as WM6.5 is concerned....they have disadvantages like they are buggy and also consumes battery quite fast.
Appearance wise...WM6.5 is way ahead...but performance wise....I'll stick with WM6.1 anytime.
currently i am using WM6.1 v14 by PDAVIET it is nearly perfect!!!!
regarding differences in hardware...i was meaning the CARRIER...like Verizon, DoPoD, T-Mobile (MDA Basic), iDea (India) and so on...sorry...
regarding stockspl...mine was SPL 1.35.0000...i couldn't find any download link for that..
hey brothers i think tht opal also should have a completely cleam winmo 6.5.3 rom plxxxxxx i love it on mi friends wizard which has less ram....i know ya guys can do it...and also brother winmo is all about customising and making changes to interface wen ya want... its not only themes..it has completely different uis tht can be swithched ezily... so ya gotta try these.....i guess after trying diferent lock screens games today screens thn aftr tht rty theroms

Greetings,
I know am not supposed to ask questions in a new thread .. but i already posted in the Q&Athread and didnt recieve any replies
I changed my old samsung D840 for an htc hd mini .. i wanted to install apps , modify my software and so on .. but unfortunatly , after buying the mini , it turned out that 95% of the apps doesnt support the hvga screen , no games at all and ofc no themes at all .. imho , a winmo phone that doesnt support anything is totally worthless .. so i exchanged the mini for a used htc touch hd ... and i have been reading tons of guides about roms, radios , spl and so on ... and am a bit confused , and i have dozens of questions to ask , i did use the search function, and no am not lazy to google what i want , but am in desperate need for some answers that i didnt find. so here we go..
1) As for SPL .. i read the whole guide , but i was wondering if USPL is safer than HSPL since HSPL permenantly remove something from the phone .. and does it infract the warranty terms?
2) When it comes to Roms , i see a huge number of roms ... i dont want to try lots of Roms till i find the one i like , cuz i guess i will do something wrong eventually and screw up my device ... i really liked the htc hd mini UI .. i was wondering if there is a ROM ( official one for the touch hd ) which is similar to the touch HD's one?
3)Assuming that there isnt any official ROMS like the one described above , which cooked ROM got the same UI as the hd mini , with no custom fancy stuff , not too much tweaks and modifications ... just a simple smooth Rom with the HD's nice UI and could play divx movies with no frames loss
4) whats a manila , touchflo and htc sense ? i couldnt really understand the difference
5) as i understood .. Radios are responsible for communication tasks , like wifi , gps and so on ... and some radios may work better than others according to places... Well, i live in egypt... should i try all the radios to find a good one that works here? if so .. are radios installed after unlocking the spl and installing a rom?
6)I bet all those custom ROMS doesnt support arabic .. so i was wondering if there any app that enables the phone to read arabic .. just on the web and sms ... dont need an arabic keyboard and so on
7) I dont have an sd card atm? Can i still flash a ROM? are there any consequences of flashing a ROM without a memory card?
8) as mentioned in the Customizing TF3D - The Collection! thread.. there is a v3.0 manila ( thts the new one ) .. so are v2 and 2.5 meant by "old manila" .. and all of those themes work on winmo 6.1 and 6.5 and only limited by the manila version?
9) Whats a custom RUU ? task 32 and 28? do i need to use one before flashing?
Well, i guess thats it .. i know those are a lot of questions ..but i would really appreciate some answers
Thnx in advance

Unfortunately until you flash back to stock ROM you have no warranty. Looks like cheating.. I know...
About that if this will be safer... I have no idea... It is imo easier to flash ROMs with HSPL but choice is yours. Remember about one thing. If you starts flashing you cannot stop Thats why I used HSPL. Also I'm using Linux at my home computer so this is only way i can flash ROM.

Try those provided by kwbr (TOPIX ones). I'm using one atm for about 3 months. There are also other ROMs but tbh i didn't check all of them, which is obvious
Check XDA for playing videos on Blackstone cause there are some problems with playing full length videos on it. There is an app to change movies to "fit Blackstone"

Ver. 2.0 is an old manilla. Maybe ver. 2.1 can be also called the old one. Manilla 2.5 work only on WinMo from ver. 6.5 Window Mobile 6.1 can only run manilla 2.0. To be honest i'm not so sure If i understood correctly your question :/ Every theme for manila depends on manila version so you have to check theme thread for which version of manila it supports.

Hi guys
Received a sms message from T-mobile announcing the official release of ROM update. Check out the Tmobile HD2 site.
Edit:
Installed the update; found nothing new or exciting and now reverting back to Kumar's TMHD2 Touch Premium 2.9 WWE
For those who have flashed 2.08.HSPL to use unofficial ROMs, if you install the official release by USB your 2.08 HSPL will still be intact after the upgrade and you can go back to other ROMs with out any problem. That's what I did by reverting back to Kumar's ROM.

I am curious too about what it is for, it would be cool if it was Windows 7.
I am running Energy Rom, and Radio 2.15.50.14, so I am assuming updating would be a bad idea.
I just got the sms message too - I'm downloading it right now from the t-mobile website.
Figures - I just put a different ROM on my phone - yesterday! hahaha
i wonder why i didnt get a text, maybe because i was in android?
anyways how is it?

Still no multitouch keyboard. Is this not possible with WM6.5? I just can't understand why, almost a year after initial release, HTC has not released a multitouch keyboard for WM6.5 on the HD2. Iphone and Android have had it forever, and it makes SUCH A BIG difference!

As so many forum members have said, perhaps for a million times, ROM preference is really an art of matching ones individual needs; I have been testing several ROMs, Energy, Kumar's, Omega etc. and currently find Kumar's ROM meeting my needs. To me Kumar's ROMs seem stable and do not have many programs that the chefs generally tend to add to their custom ROMs. I like my system to be as minimum and as stable as possible so that I can add and customize it as I want.
So the best thing is to try couple of Custom ROMs and see if you feel comfortable with the version of ROM you have installed.
Also, the latest version of ROM (both Official, Custom) are generally less buggy.
For those of us who do not want to go for the custom ROMs, I guess today's official release from T-mobile should be the one we should be upgrading to. T-mobile must have ironed out previous noted bugs in this new upgarde. For the brief moments that I played with the official new release; everything was smooth and working. But as I said earlier, I have now reverted back to Kumar's ROM.
It appears that today's 'Official" release is the same as the leaked release from a couple of weeks ago.
The size of the RUU_signed.nbh is exactly the same size. The date is different but I doubt that means anything significant.
I never got any text from tmo. :-(
after attempting the update, I get 7 vibrations in a row at the tmo boot screen and then it freezes. Anyone else have this issue?
Just installed, took like 3 mins and it runs ok, they added new icons: amazon Mp3, Myaccount, Shazam and T-Mobile Help... my account and t-help icons are useless they dont do anything, still testing, i saw some improvements like faster reading from memory, now when i insert the sd card with a bunch of images, videos and music it takes less time reading them, the only issue that i got was that im unable to run android cuz it gets a weird screen and it does nothing, but if i get some problem i'll post it ok? thx!
what does the update even do?

I just updated to 2.13 the other day, and I put a custom ROM on my phone that I really really like alot since my phone seems to respond better to this one with no small lag. I have a question though, if I update to 3.14 will I loose the ability to put the custom ROM back on the phone or is it safe to update and put the custom ROM back in?
hi,
I have stock ROM 2.13.531.1
i recently installed HSPL3 and radio 2.15.50.14
now my quuestion is will i be able to install the new ROM without any problem? i dont want to brick my phone. Also will i be able to install the same radio 2.15.50.14 after installing the new stock ROM.
Hopefully htc have fixed the sms bug coz everytime i get a new sms my whole phone freezes for like 5 sec. and its really killing me.
thanks guys
hi guys
pls help me out. i m a new t mobile hd user. have the stock rom. used one week without problem. then phone started to repeatedly get stuck. initially when phone is switched on, the screen wont come on for 15 minutes. but the hard buttons were flashing. this would spontaneously recover. later phone started to get stuck while being used and in standby mode. i thought it could be due to cookie home tab and other software recently installed. so uninstalled all of that, but, no result.
then i accidentally switched to "swype" (i was using the htc keyboard). then it really became mad! needed to soft reset repeatedly. the moment i try to type something ( swype mode is still on. cant switch back to the usual kb, it gets stuck) phone gets stuck, needing soft reset. finallly went for hard reset.
1. is this a known issue with hd2? (somebody told me so)
2. how can i overcome this? would a cooke rom like the energy rom help?
3. whats wrong with swype ????
please, anything to help guys....
Yes if you install a custom ROM especially a Energy ROM you can kiss all that bad behavior good bye, unless you have a hardware problem. But from what you said it sounds like tipicial glitchy stock Windows Mobile bad behavior.
Also to turn off Swype you have to touch on the little triangle arrow beside the keyboard symbol at the bottom of the keyboard. This will bring up a menu box just select to use the standard keyboard and not Swype.

thanks again.
the problem is the moment the swype key board appears on screen, it becomes stuck. no key works after that. only option is a soft reset. is it safe to do the rom flash by myself? where can i find a detaild guide to do it? and what rom do you recommend? in the htc site i noted that there is a newer update to my stock rom. how would that rom workout?
If HTC has a update ROM for your HD2 I say go for that one first they should have a detailed set of instructions on the site you download it from. Most ofctge update official ROMs are 3.14 ROMs andcthe 3.14 ROMs are alot more stable considering they are stock ROMs. I do recomemd a Energy ROM if you want to try a custom ROM just read through and look at all the screen shots in the first couple of post in the thread that are by the dev of the ROMs and pick Wichita ROM he had there that you like the looks and sound of best. You can most definitely flash the ROMs yourself be it official or custom.

hi
i have installed the new 3.14 rom. seemed ok for one day. but problems are back. when i switch on the phone, the home screen comes on as normal. after i switch to standby mode and try to start phone again the screen stays blank for about 10 minutes. the hard buttons are flashing though. after 5 min, spontaneouly recovers and again problem occurs when switched off and restarts.
any suggestion pls? do u think i should go for a cooked rom? and in which departments do the cooked roms are better than the stock? can the dutties task manager cause this problem? (i hv it installed at the moment.}
thnaks
I am no expert but ... the radio base band version ( software speaking to the hardware ) is the first thing that comes to mind....mine kept on restarting so i update it to 2.15.xx.xx and it works flawlessly now

my radio version is 2.15.50.14. it cant be the problem? can it?
Do yourself a big favour & try energy ROM such as Dinik 29017 (my preffered version is 23699)
These ROMs are far more touch friendly, far more stable (yet to need soft reset on my HD2 with Energy Dinik 23699) & you will get great support if needed by reading or posting in the thread.

you can easily get the stoch rm back if there is any problem ....u should go and install hspl4 on your hd2 and then select 2.08.hspl in the installation window ... and then u can do anything with you phonei.e. put android on it or windows phone 7 if u need any help for that u can just pm me or follow some threads i myself was very scared the first time when i installed hspl but it came out to e very simple afterward

These ROMs are good, make sure you follow instructions & read up on it before flashing.
Get HSPL 2.08 on your HD2 & make sure your radio version is compatible & then flash Energy ROM of your choice ...
Top tip is charge battery 100% before flashing (seem to reduce battery calibration problems & can be of benefit if you run into problems, also a hard reset after custom ROM has completed first boot is good practice.
Also have some patience & give yourself time to adjust to the new ROM, asking a few questions & doing some searching will be far more productive than flashing to another ROM because of a problem.
Good luck & maybe I see you in the Energy ROM thread ...
thanks very much guys.
i got the energy rom installed successfully and already i m loving it. i m so glad i joined the xda community. one more thing pls. are these roms upgraded? how can i watch out for new upgrades, new features to be downladed...etc?

Out of interest which Energy ROM did you install.
You can check for updates by looking at thread & seeing date of latest release, going for latest releases & build numbers does not always give best results. Sometimes old is gold ;-) Best to settle into your current ROM & only update if things you deem important are updated/added.
Have fun with Energy ROM, well set up it makes Android & iphone look limited & outdated & seriously has some useful features Android is missing such as Auto APN setup & organised apps & settings menu & a far more advanced mail app to mention just a few.

Sent from my HTC HD2 using XDA App
Hi there,
I got an interesting problem with my HTC HD2 ( T-Mobile / US ) It runs just one ROM, an old version of JW's MIUI 2.3.4 build ( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1050645 ).
I have no problems with OS, I love this version ( thanx to JW ) but yesterday we tried to flash a different ROM to my friends HTC HD2 ( same as mine, bought at the same time ) but it didnt worked. Stucking at green HTC logo when booting.
We tried different types of ROM's, We got the right HSPL, Radio and using MAGLoader with Recovery ( DAF.exe )
Same version as mine ( Jul 2 Build of JW's MIUI based on 2.3.4 Ginger ), is working stable but no other Rom's working.
What is the problem or Do I forgot something to do ?
Sorry for the long problem... Thank you

correct partition size?
Tried 150, 200 partition size with lots of ROM's ( Magldr partition size ) and 45 MB cache ( as default in HD2toolkit ), should I do any other partitions ?
for most roms cache size is 5m not 45m. that may be your problem.
I'll try that tomorrow. And what is external 1/2/3/4 partitioning. At some Rom's it says ext/4 1 gig part. I dont get it.
CWR can create an ext partition I do not recall if it is 3 or 4. An ext is basically just a partition used mainly in linux. Here it is used to create more space for one to install applications. Supposedly ext 4 is faster than ext 3. There are also certain roms that will not work unless you have this partition set up on your sdcard.
