Hi all, im thinking of getting a Touch 3G (Jade) as a second phone, my first being a touch Diamond 2, and am thinking of buying one from E-Bay orange branded.
My question is if i get one, it seems i can get it sim unlocked easy enough, but once i get it sim unlocked can i dol the hspl and flash any rom i want as i have been doing with my diamond 2? Or will being originally a branded Orange one prevent me from doing this?
Thanks in advance.
You can easily SIM unlock it via ebay, i did it this way. And after that when you do HSPL you can put whatever ROM you want.
Thanks for the reply, yeah i thought that but i think i will get it unlocked by Olipro/Olinex from the link in the hard spl thread, i feel i could trust their service more
Hi again. Ok i have bought a Touch 3g that was Orange branded, i have purchased the sim unlocking utility from Olinex, got hard spl running and tried a few roms to see which suits me, but whichever rom i use i am still getting the Orange start screen before the rom loads up. Not to big a problem really but if possible i would like to remove it, any ideas guys n gals ?

I'm using an Orange branded Touch, after flashing a 6.5 rom it changed the boot picture to the HTC one, then I went back to a 6.1 rom because I like the start button at the top.

Thanks for that, I think I'll try that and PDAVIET V31, they're both built on the same core, but each cook put their own touches on them.

Well
how many of us have successfully flash WM6.5?
is it advisable to flash it?
Personally I am happy with SPB Mobile Shell 3. The I am not interested in another WinMo version until 7, which will need another phone.
GPS performans with WM6.5
Flashed with Tommy34's ROM with WM6.5.
Very happy that my GPS fixing -boring- delay is fully resolved.
I almost believed in my Device have had a hardware defect, then realized it is none..
I have got one single trouble that SKYPE WinMobile v2.5 can not be installed..
I will try v3.0 Beta ASAP I am able to download..
***Edited***
Beta v3.0 works out..
I installed tommy34 cHome 0.4 ROM and I'm very happy with it. My gps finally works too...and the phone is more response in general.

I have not been able to flash my phone.
I am using Vista and when I try and flash the rom on the phone, I get:
Vista has found new hardware (I think it was a CDMA Driver)
I've flashed WM6.5 (can't remember which version I used), and I thought all was going well, until I tried to sim unlock it. The phone is 2 months old, with Orange branding, and had the horrible Orange Unique Manager, which is why I wanted to flash the phone, and I assumed the phone was simlocked. After I flashed it, I bought a Sim Unlock Code, but when I put a 3 sim card in, I didn't get the expected "Enter SIM Unlock Code" prompt. Instead I just get "No Service" displayed on the home screen with the exclaimation mark at the top where the signal strength is displayed. I've also tried with an (active contract) T-mob Sim, and a Tesco Mob Sim. Same thing, I don't get the prompt to be able put the unlock code in.
I can't help thinking it's because I've flashed the phone, it seems like there's something preventing the Enter SIM Unlock Code dialog from coming up. Is there anyone else with this problem, or a solution? What ROMs are people using that they have sucessfully SIM unlocked their phones with?
Thank you!
So does it still work with an Orange Sim?
I have flashed my Orange UK Jade with various flavours of WM6.5, all with good results, currently using a version cooked by PDAVIET, with no issues.
Guys, is it possible to flash to Windows 6.5 then flash again to 6.1 if all doesn't go well?
just wondering but are PDAVIET, Ironeagle and Tommy34s version of wm 6.5 all have 8gb micro sd support. And also which would you recommend as the best.
I flash 6.5 German and ist is working grate.
I used
Jade_LeanCut_GER_WM65_5.2.23001_OEM_2.33.721.1
Installed
2DManila_1_20_19131530_00
And MUI 407 files from erviuskitchen german kittchen.
And installed only th programms that i need.
Only i need Thai caracters in sms. It is not possible to change the thaom font to a full wich Asiatic caracters. installed msss.tff and change all to it, but manila sms does not take care about font change in sms/messages...
I tryed to coock a rom usin erviuskitchen german kittchen wich only changing tahoma font. but all roms i cooked with it are getting instable after 2 dayes. My favorite navigation system wich german and Asien maps does not start afer 3 times anymore.
Si i stick nearly fully satisfyed with the Jade_LeanCut_GER_WM65_5.2.23001_OEM_2.33.721.1
Hi,
I got my HTC since 2 mounth, and i really want to test WM6.5, but i must say that i'm a little afraid about flashing my phone.
I've read the "flash for n00bs" post, and it seems that there is a way to "flash-back" your phone to a factory version, am I right...?
By the way, if i want to use my waranty, can i "flash-back" my phone ?
Sorry for my bad english, thanks guys !

Hello,
I am from Brazil and bought my Touch 3G about two months ago. It came with WM 6.1.
Last week I successfully applied the "Hard SPL 2.33 by Olinex" and then Flashed it with "Touch3G__WM6.5__2_33_721_17__B23033_WWE" ROM from PDVIANET.
Everything is running fine. The only comment is that we really need to disabled the 3G (H) network and run just with Edge (E) in order to save some battery. Other than that I recommend everybody to upgrade to WM 6.5

no neither a hard reset or a rom reflash will make it relocked

Common problem when your SPL doesn't match rom. Did you follow this guide? What does your SPL say in bootloader?
Post further queries regarding flashing in dummies guide thread
Ouch - after trying to SSPL my phone, it doesn't boot anymore. It's a T-Mobile branded Leo which doesnt allow to flash original HTC ROMs.
Now I need to try a T-Mob version. Anybody Can provide one ?
Thanks !
have you tried downloading an official rom from HTC with your phone's serial number?
http://www.htc.com/europe/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=804
Thanks for the tip, but: Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
Anyone who has a T-Mob ROM from somewhere ?
Thanks!
try a gold card solution...i also got a t-mobile hd2 i sued gold card to upto 1.6 rom...its working good...
Hello Matmax,
I had the same Problem, but you can try a Hardreset.
Turn your LEO off ( Battery out and in)
Press Volume up and down together
and turn HD2 on.
I had to try several times.
There is no official T-Mobile ROM to download.
New T-Mobile ROM comes out next week in Germany (They said)

UK T-Mobile rom I saw posted last week.
So, flashing roms using sspl does not work with this type of t mobile branded leo?
For me it seems so :-(
I tried several hard resets, doesn't help. Thnanks also for the UK stock ROM, but that gives me another INVALID VENDER ID

i think u must post ur problem in sticked Bepe thread, may he has the help.
Auch!! I am also searching for a suitable T mobile rom (UK) for my leo, but could't find any, yet...
P.S.:I planned to flash another rom using new sspl, but after reading your post I think I will wait a bit more... (If someone would not give a different feedback...)
I think your best bet is to go for the GoldCard method, although it would be nice if someone could host the T-Mobile rom on a site other than rapidshare.
GC method worked on my UK T-Mobile HD2...

Post in the Bepe thread or PM him for help. Either way it would be useful for all of us to understand from him and you what went wrong and to fix it so other people don't have the same problem.

Boot - stops after the versions of radio etc. is shown (red numbers on black screen)

Hi
Re try Using SSPL and the custom rom it will flash from boot loader.
I had the problem first time using SSPL it crashes and stayed at bootloader. Every time fails You disconnect the cable and reconnect, Then re tried several time running SSPL with IT2 rom and 3rd or fourth attempt it worked. If not UK 1.48 version will work on T mobile uk.
Good luck
T-Mobile UK ROM
Hi try downloading this one from my 4Shared account. I don't think that it's the fastest link but it may help you out of a hole....

I too have a T-Mobile HD2 and was about to flash the new Miri ROM until I saw your post. Now a tad nervous about doing so......
Mat, before you tried to SSPL flash your Leo did you have a stock T-Mob rom or had you already GoldCarded to a new release rom?
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..
