help with ROM - Touch HD General

Hi
I am having issues with my HD - I originally got this from Telstra and every time I try and ROM it - the phone functionality won't switch on - it seems to only have the wireless working - the ROM itself does work and it doesn't matter what ROM I use.
I was hoping someone might be able to help me here, Thanks in advanced

your phone does not have the right SPL for the ROM. read the HD Flashing Guide and prep your phone for ROM flashing. once the first 3 lines of the bootloader (or the red section) looks like the picture of this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3638336#post3638336Bootloader you're ready to flash. goog luck!

WM5 Rogers ROM

Does anyone have, or know where I might be able to find a Rogers WM5 ROM for the TyTN? Is this even possible to find or am I SOL?
I'm looking for one also
Same here.. I would like to have one onhand just in case something goes wrong with my phone and I need to send in for repairs.
I have the WM6 Rom from HTC's official site installed right now (working perfectly by the way), and not too sure if Rogers would support a return if something went wrong.
Thanks
i just got my new rogers tytn today. I was planning on making a backup and updating ROM. if this is WM5 i will post backup file once I figure out how to do this.
That would be awesome as I am sure lots of here would appreciate a backup incase of warranty triggered
Alright... so I am going to get to this tomorrow morning - but I have no clue how to backup the existing ROM. I see a lot on how to install a NEW ROM, but nothing that I can find about the backup.
Can somebody guide me in the right direction so that I don't screw this up! LOL
Thanks

Bump......
If I am not mistaken somebody has already done this.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_DumpedRoms
I will just have to find out how I check which one i have.
Is there somebody that can do this to the Rogers ROM?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoReconstruct
I believe that will do what you need in order to flash the original ROM back onto your device.
My brain is getting sore from all of the reading about all of this. Sometimes I think life would be easier if I wasn't a "geek".
I'm probably a newb to this, but I've managed to create my own rogers ROM and have it successfully work. The only thing missing my own precompiled ROM was the Rogers splash screen and the Radio which is suppose to be 1.42...
If there is somewhere I can upload the packaged Rogers ROM please let me know and I'll quickly upload it for everyone.
the files in the Rogers rom are all RAW files. how do you load it to your device?

ziadsa, thank you very much. I am looking at moving to a new phone, even though the TyTN has served me well, so I want to pass it on in original condition. Of course, I will be pointing the new owner to xda-developers. The next owner may want more from the phone, like I got.

I now have the original ROMs back in place and it works beautifully, but the splash screen still shows PDAviet.
Does anyone know how to correct this and get the Rogers screen back in place? I know this forum has been quiet for a long time, so if I don't get a response here, I will try with a new thread.
Thanks in advance.

Telstra HTC HD - Flashing the ROM

I have a Telstra branded HD and wanted to know if anyone has tried flashing the ROM on one of these to a standard ROM?
If so, which one did you use to flash the ROM?
Not that I know anything about flashing ROM's and the phone is only a day old so I am a little worried about trying it.
The first thing I suppose.....is there anyway of backing up the ROM and anything else needed to return the phone to a Telstra branded ROM for warranty purposes if required.
I am at my wits end with this phone in it's current form as I am trying to run it with a vodafone SIM, so all the Telstra shortcuts and websites don't work anyway, that and the Telstra tab seems to replace the weather tab with the current ROM.
I suppose I had better see if I can search the forum for instructions on flashing ROM's for dummies....anyone know a good thread?
Flashing a ROM is not difficult its flashing an spl that is scary(since if you mess up or if your device shuts off while its in the process you have a brick in your hands now, with a rom all you need to do is try again.), also if you want it to be at stock condition if you want to revert back to the original ROM, then use USPL, doesn't change the spl. You have to dump the ROM from the device and then you save it some where safe, then you flash a ROM of your choice. Its not that hard to initiate the process though, since its basically the same for all the devices, if you search around here on the forum for a guide then that should do you some good , but since I am nice here are some useful links.
Guide to flashing:

USPL:

HSPL:

List of cooked ROMs:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=464463
Awesome, thanks for that, I am off to do some reading, one quick question...
On the first guide it says I need to CID-unlock the phone, it that what USPL and HSPL can do for me?
Yea, you don't have to cid unlock since its not available for the Blackstone yet.
Just HardSPL'd my Telstra BLAC120?
I've just used HardSPL on my Telstra Touch HD which is a BLAC120? Is it safe to continue flashing ROM's or can I somehow go back to the original SPL? Then use USPL?
The phone is still in working order after the HardSPL Flash.
Cheers,
-Lucus
HSPL is perfectly fine, but if you want it to be like stock(for warranty purposes), just use USPL to flash the original spl back. You are perfectly fine how you are Lucus Maximus.

This is making my head spin.....been reading and downloading and I am getting very confused, once it all falls into place I am guessing it is going to be easy.
Right I would like to dump the existing ROM and flash with a new one....I need to confirm the steps and what is required.
CID-Unlock the phone, from what you said I don't need to worry about this part
1. Run USPL - have downloaded v2.4...should be good to go
2. What is RUU Update as it mentions it in the instructions for USPL
3. I am guessing at this point I need to backup the existing ROM, not sure how this is done
3. Then the guide says to download the new ROM and run the exe and follow the steps.....sounds easy enough
Some of the guides don't really explain much.....anyway I am thinking of giving it a go.
So do you flash radio's and splash screens using the same method.
Sorry for all the questions (I am guessing you have heard them all before, but I can't find a thread from a ROM flashing virgin like me with all the info), I have been reading, but gets a little confusing after a while.
Ok, RUU update is just the .exe file to use the .nbh(rom file) so it can start flashing.
Hmmm. . . . . .if I had any htc device right now I would make a video guide. . . .
It takes like 2 times for you to get used to flashing a phone, don't worry we have all been there .

If you don't want to worry about backing up your existing ROM the Telstra one is available on the HTC website here

Thanks for that....right now to go and find myself a new ROM.
Just out of interest, which ROM did you use Lucas?
Been looking at this.......
Dutty's ROMS
What is the difference with these:
HD V1.7 5.2.20769.1.4.5 Full CVSD WWE
HD V1.7 5.2.20769.1.4.5 Full MSVC WWE
I am yet to work out all this ROM talk......I am guessing WWE is the English version, but what is "CVSD" & "MSVC"
Oh and how do I work out what radio version these ROMS use to make sure it is the same as the one I have
When you turn on your device, look at the red R and see what it says, then when you flash a ROM with a different radio, just re flash yours.(same process as flashing a ROM but easier, and there are different radios available to DL).

FAQ: What are CVSD and MSVC.
Solution: CVSD is Cyberon Voice Speed Dial which is mostly the default voice application in most shipped ROMs. MSVC is Microsoft Voice Command which is an advance voice application from MS.
I tried Black Pearl, but most things I've read are saying that Dutty's is the best, so giving that a go now.
As long as I can get all the telstra site settings working I'll stick with it otherwise it's back to the Telstra ROM untill I can find out a way to get it all working.
-Lucus
Too easy, flashed the ROM to Duttys v1.7
Now to go and find all the missing ring tones and stuff, I think I saw something in a thread about Dutty having extra cabs to install this stuff...
I would recommended this to anyone who is trying to run the Telstra branded HD on anything other than the Telstra network.
Getting there now, I have managed to download all the ringtones and stuff, so I have more than the 3 ringtones supplied with the ROM
Where is this MSVC that is supposed to be part of the ROM???
Off to search some more and see what other software I can find.
This has made the Telstra branded HD a lot better, all Telstra branding has gone, including splash screen and the phone actually works now, can get POP3 email, Internet, Exchange email etc without an issue.
The first thing it did was set the phone up for the correct Network as soon as I put in the SIM and powered it up....great!
Well I was really pissed off with the HD with all the Telstra branding and was at the point of returning the HD and going back to the iPhone, but now things are starting to look up......we will see how things go.

Yep, all you needed to do is change the ROM, you didn't need to return anything. It was just the shipped ROM that's all.
Thanks again for your help....
Still trying to find the MSVC app in Dutty's ROM v1.7???
I downloaded the MSVC version, but can't see the application
great info here guys, just got my HD the other day and dislike all the Telstra branding. one question though before I begin changing ROM's, did you guys finally end up getting the weather tab to work, or the "customize tabs" option in the settings tab?
cheers,
Ditto! Can someone pls confirm Dutty's ROM has weather+stocks tab etc? And can someone who downloaded the Telstra ROM off HTC please mirror it somewhere? (attach here or mediafire it etc). Or if anyone has an official Blackstone rom from another region that would be good too... many thanks!

Backing up ROM image "Orange UK" Help please.

Been running the Touch 3G (jade) for a month or so now...
Very impressed with it, running TomTom 7 etc without any problems...
I would like to get rid of the Orange UNIQUE service so I can run either Wifi or GPRS not the wierd Orange idea..
Is there a way I can backup my installed ROM in the phone should anything go wrong or I not like what I want to use in it's place... ???
Next question...
Having made sure I can get phone back to original should I need to, can anyone direct me to the location of a STANDARD HTC rom image to use on the phone. I have previously flashed a HTC TyTn (one) with a new schaps rom with great success but not sure what is available for the Jade..
Any help much appreciated...

in the "Communications" i cant to turn on the "Phone"

I can not anymore, I installed about 100 ROM'S and each time the same problem ...
The problems are that:
1) I can not receive calls because the phone without absorption
2) When I turn on the device colors are such strange and incomprehensible (GWES.EXE I think)
3) the device got stuck many times
I have a HTC TOUCH HD
Someone can finally bring me the latest ROM, quick, not stuck, WM6.1 and 6.5 (preferably in English) I'm from Israel if it matters ....
Who could get me the device I thank him very much indeed =]
so, which ROMS have you tried? WM 6.5? if yes, then based on your problem description, it appears you have not properly prepared your phone. review the HD Dummies Flashing Guide and double-check that you've completed the steps to install the correct SPL for the ROM you're using on your device. good luck!
tnx
tnx you =]

Help needed for my HTC HD

Hi Guys!
I just traded my iphone to a HTC HD as I love the huge screen and wanted to have a change.The problem is that every time I switch it on, the HTC logo is discolored and same goes with the Windows 6.1( the green screen ) All I'm doing is push the power button off and on again and it the screen will be ok. I'm not sure if the previous owner did with this HD but I would like to have it fixed?I tried hard reset already but still the same.
Anybody have the same experience before or knows how to fix it? There are no other issues actually aside from that.
Hope you guys can help me out
As far as I remember this display discolorment had to do something with bad flash..
Try to reflash the ROM or flash another one...
there are tons of guides on this forum so just google how to flash...you should be ok then...
Thanks Sopis!
I'll look for it. hopefully won't be so complicated. Noobie in WM phones..
