Does anyone have the above?
I have stayed with the original HP ROM (6.0 CHT/1.00.04/0.81) until recently, thinking I could update just the radio to 0.89. This was a disaster, as the RUU also updated the eboot to 1.01.04, which does not appear compatible with the 6.0 CHT ROM (keeps asking to restart the PPC after startup). Ended up flashing the 612c with 6.0 WWE/1.01.04/0.88 which works, but Chinese has to be an add-on. Interesting Asset Viewer still says my machine is CHT despite the WWE ROM.
I know there are many 6.1 and 6.5 ROMs that should work, but I would like to stick with an official package if possible, as I am not that tech savvy to be sorting out potential incompatibility that I may run into with beta ROMs.
Scouring the net I could locate a copy of 6.0CHT but not 1.00.04/0.81. As I said earlier, the 6.0CHT would not work with the 1.01.04 already on my 612c.
I did ask HP if they would provide the CHT ROM but the answer was essentially a "no", said in a "polite" way.
Any help will be most appreciated.
radio firmware is separate from rom and i don't think you can flash back to original radio
you can try search around pdaclan i think there are people able to flash back to 0.88 which may be compatible to original CHT, but i think flashing radio is dangerous as any error may brick the radio part
Thanks keyx.
Did a search on pdaclan and found quite a few people wanting to do the same thing and/or having the same problem! Unfortunately no one seems to have the old radio fw or eboot. One suggested to "format the IPAQ file store" - he didn't explain how that could be done though...

nubie here. first post. exiting .
would any of you magician wizz kids out there tell me where I can find the latest magician ship file that is for the O2? I have looked in the ftp's and looked for the ship which basicalled had the highest number and ended in wwe (iam australian) but the QTEC spalsh screen apeared when i flashed my rom with it.
Call me a neat freak but i want my os to match the maker (o2).
put simply - i need the latest 02 operating sys.
this is the current ship file iv put on o2asia_11100_922_11100_ship. (the only reason i found this was because it said 'o2asia' in the file name)
Please direct me if there is anyer virsion.
thanks and i hope iv made sense in what i just said :roll:
The whole ROM consists of 3 parts. The OS, Radio, and Extended ROM. The OS and Radio ROMs are generic and what makes a unit unique is the customizations within the Extended ROM.
If you perform the BigStorage hack, you can install ROM 1.13 which includes Radio 1.12 (there's a stand-alone Radio 1.13 though), then install only the Extended ROM customizations you feel is usefull for you.
I suggest you check-out also the File System Tweak by "nonentity".
Before you proceed, please go through this forum as there's tons of usefull information which includes Registry Tweaks, UI enhancements, recommended software, etc.
Cheers and all the best with your new gadget.

Hi,
In my 614c my ROM revision reported by HP asset viewer is MP-1.00.01.
I have already upgraded my OS to WM 6.1 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379384,
ROM downloaded from 4PDA: http://66.102.9.104/translate_c?hl=...&st=90&usg=ALkJrhjna6KUn3dU3EtDoWAzbxW_k8VJrQ)
and I have still version MP-1.00.01 reported by HP asset viewer.
My questions are:
1. What does it exactly mean ROM revision?
2. Why the ROM upgrade to 6.1 didn't changed it?
3. I think that the ROM revision may means firmware version - if it is true is there a chance to upgrade it?
As I can see people reports that they have MP-1.00.03 or even MP-1.00.05
Many thanks in advance.

Bigu1975

I'm intersted too if somebody can explain?
Now I have os - 1.01.04 and fw 0.88 and if I Upgrade to wm6.1 will it downgrade in os or?
Asking because i installed before 6.1 and it said os version 1.00.1 but now i have updated it from HP site and rolled back and now maybe I will try again new version of wm6.1
thanks
anybody? knows?
After you will flash into WM 6.1 v1.4 you will see 1.00.03
For me it looks that this version represents just OS version. HP is providing right version (newest one is 1.01.04) but the WM6.1 ROM cooker just used 1.00.03 version. I don't know if it is mistake or rather the trick/hack which should allow to make any official upgrades from HP (there shouldn't be version conflict during such upgrade).
the versions of fw and os displayed during boot are test fields from the bootloader ... no use to change them ... and thez dont reflect what actually on the device!!!!!!
Saxxon,
I can see here that you know what you are writing about. I am also trying to understand this but I am not able . I would be grateful if you could be more precision and if you can describe it in more words...
You wrote OS and FW versions are only bootloader test fields. I thought that to be able to change something in bootloader we have to flash them. During flashing new WM6.1 we are flashing only OS not bootloader but those number are changing...
Also HPassetviewer is reporting the same version as during machine boot...
Thank you in advance...
Well, I got this PDA 3 wks ago.
First thing i did was the upg to wm 6.1 ( from HCT ).
Than hardspl ( all gone OK ) than M-Amine package. After 3/4 days BT wont go, radio FM too.
Well gone bak to WM6.1 ,and WM6.0 does't resolve any problem. Send back to the vendor and changed with a new one.
with this 2nd PDA upgrade to wm6.1 and than hardspl and to M-amine . After 6 day Camera blink into various colours, To have it working I tried to soft reset ( nothing ) hard reset (nothing ), go back to wm6.1 and 6.0. Camera won't go. Send back this 2nd with factory wm6.0 and got a new one ( the 3rd ).
Now with this 3rd device all is still "original" wm6.0, but it interface is very sad.
So my question is.
Am I very unfortune and the device was really defected
or am I a stupid ?
Is there an Upgrade to manilla2d without uprgrading the radio drivers?
when dowloading upgrade file from HTC the file name is "_HTC Touch Cruise_RUU_Polaris_HTC_ITA_3.13.408.0_radio_sign_25.85.30.07_1.59.42.15_Ship.exe.
what is 25.85.30.07 ?

Wow, you have had some bad luck!
25.85.30.07 is the protocol version.
Official releases from HTC often contain both a new ROM and Radio in the same release, however you can upgrade them independant of each other. Need to be careful when doing this though as some of the newer ROMS require newer radio versions to work correctly. You'll find details of the necessary radio versions in most of the ROM upgrade topics.
I'm currently running this ROM: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2950434&postcount=348
With this radio version: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430182 without any problems.
The ROM I'm using contains Manila 2d etc. and runs quite nicely, but so do many other current ROMS from epimazzo, M-Amine, c_shekhar and udK.
Make sure you have the latest version of HardSPL installed on your phone before flashing any new ROM/Radio as the unsuccessful radio upgrades in particular can brick your device. Lots of information on this in the wiki.
Sorry really to be a pain here, but if someone does not mind, can they explain to me ROM, Radio and HSPL? I think i know that ROM is the software running on your phone. but it that version number increased everytime someone make a custom ROM out from an official one?
Radio as far as i know is for wifi, radio, etc. is this correct ? And final we have HSPL, now what do need that for, and for what use it is?
I am ofcourse asking these questions because i started to look at all the nice ROM's out there and not sure if i should stick to what im doing and keep going for the higher numbers. Would be very happy if someone could quickly explain them all properly and then maybe guide me to other links where i can read more...
Thank you in advance...
SPL - Secondary Program Loader - Think of it as the BIOS of your phone. It starts the operating system loading, and when you flash it verifies cid and region locks.
HSPL - Hard Secondary Program Loader - This is the creation of Bepe and Cotulla and Co. and is a hacked version of the official SPL that bypasses the checks when you flash a rom. It requires SPL 1.42.0000 on your phone to use.
This is the only version that works for telstra phones.
HSPL2 - is an upgrade to HSPL that allows witching between most of the available SPL's, and also their HSPL equivalents. (So if you want to install cooked roms, you might choose 2.08.HSPL, whilst if you want to go back to official, you would choose 1.42.0000 in the HSPL2 dropdown)
HSPL1024 - Is HSPL specific to the tmous hd2.
hardware ROM - The Read Only Memory of the phone. Think of it as the hard disk in your device. This is your storage memory.
'the' rom - When we talk about flashing roms, we mean the file that installs the whole operating system on your phone. This file is 'flashed' to the rom storage space, where it installs itself. After it finishes configuring itself, whatever is left is your available storage memory. (usually around 180 meg on a standard hd2)
Official ROMS have version numbers such as 1.66 , 1.72. 2.10.
Version numbers of cooked roms are meaningless. They only apply to that chefs roms. He/She applies versions as they see fit, however you can get a fair bit of info from the ro mthread title.
Example, they will usually tell you the base of the rom, i.e what stock rom was used as a base, 1.66, or 2.10 for example, and also the windows build version, (the 5 digit 21xxx number, i dont know whats what with those, but the higher ones are winmo 6.5.x) and more as you get used to reading them.
radio hardware - The different models have different actual hardware that connects to the mobile network. That is why you cant get 3g on at&t with a T Mo USA hd2. No matter what software radio you flash, the hardware is wrong.
radio rom - The radio software sits between windows mobile and the hardware. It controls the hardware based on what you want to do. There are all kinds of reports of better/worse battery life, connection strength, sound quality results when flashing digfferent radios.
flashing a radio does NOT require a hard reset, so wont affect your install.
Some roms (example the 576 meg enabled roms) require specific radios, read the rom posts for info.
The big danger with radio flashing is only applicable to tmous users, , if they flash a radio with ..51.. in the version number, their phone dies.
A useful read. I hope you got a thank you...
heh, well i got one now, cheers,
Dear Samsamuel !
Tx a lot ! Although I study this forum now since I am a HD2 owner (who never flashed a cooked ROM) I start to understand these cryptic topic now by Your explanations, making me more brave to try it once. Tx
The only thing I still can´t figure out is: WTF are the REAL differences of the stock-ROMS eg. what EXACTLY is changed between ROM 1.43 WWE, 1.48 WWE, 1.66 WWE, 1.72 (no WWE methinks).
I got so far to understand that some ROM-upgrades are just earlier ROMs with all the following patches included, but some are a major switch from WM 6.5 to 6.5.x and Sense 2.5.19xxxx to 2xxxx, giving new features like rotation in all Sense-Screens.
Plz, get me right, I spend all bad-weather-weekends hours and hours reading in the ROM-cooker-section, read XDA on my HD at airports and train stations but the shere mass of info provided - a little bit here, an info there - prevents me to get the WHOLE picture. There is a thread about which ROMs are officially out till now but with NO Info about the differences between them and which is a major UPGRADE (WM 6.5 to 6.5.x, Sense 1xxx to 2xxxx) and which is simply a better working "older" ROM.
I got my HD 2 now by the help of the geniousses here (You, Cookie, netripper, Moonah, netdrg, BsB, TX, metaldetector-lady and, and, and -and SKTools ) to work perfectly, smooth and without any fault but still would like some features like full rotational capab of Sense, which is provided by later ROMS. BUT WHICH ROM IS THIS ?
Maybe someone could add some infos ´bout that as a sticky thread ?? to decide wether to flash or not to flash when a new official ROM is issued by HTC, cause every ROM upgrade causes a hell of a work to make the HD2 work as smooth and flawless as before (I have now about 50 apps installed and configured to my needs).
Tx for Your understanding
hallo ppl
i have touch HD with German language OS i need to change it to English, as i know i will install another rom ?
will it affect the hardware?
what is the safest way to do?
thanks in advance for replays.
as you correctly assumed, to change the language of the os, you have to flash another rom.
in the rom development section you will find a dummies guide to flash roms. you should flash hspl first (to be able to flash roms at all) and then, if you want to stick to stock wm6.1 with touchflo, download a wwe rom of your choice from shipped-roms.com or other from the blackstone wiki here at xda.
if you have never flashed a rom before, it is important to read that dummies guide and make sure you understand all of the aspects before beginning to flash.
in case there are open questions about the process of hspl, ask in that thread.
and no, it does not affect the hardware. your phone will work the exact same way it worked before, only a radio rom might affect your quality of network coverage or wi-fi or bluetooth performance. flashing a full shipped rom might include a radio rom, but you can always flash a single radio afterwards to upgrade to the latest version.
