Dear all
I have bought OPAL (Touch Viva) in India
It came with a Idea cellular Sim connection
and the splash sceen shows cellular operator's Logo...
But the shopkeeper gave it unlocked to all networks...
is it safe to flash 6.5 ROM on that...
Senior members please help...
Earlier I was using Gene with 6.5 running on it very fine
waiting for response
Thanks
there won't be any problem in flashing 6.5.
I'm running 6.5V13 in my idea Htc viva mobile for a very long time now. After you flash it, the idea operater logo disappears or to be precise, it will be deleted.
If you fancy the Idea start screen, dont flash 6.5. Apart from that, if you flah 6.5, the mobile will be a delight to use and please stick with V13, it is as far the best version of 6.5.
Thanks Satish

Cheers buddy!!!
Mate,
Get the V13 from this Link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=504788
i'm using the one which is posted in the aforementioned link. Don't forget the hard spl before you flash the rom. I reckon you will have some idea about that. Anyways just for the sake of caution, don't forget that. And i'm from Mumbai.
Thanks

Although I have done it for Gene....but quite not sure for OPAL
can u pls give me a consolidated guide and the tools....
I have read the instructions in the sticky....
My phone stats...
ONBL 1.35.0000
SPL 1.35.0000
GSM 3.37.00
OS 1.35.00
If you can PM me ur mobile no. that would be nice of you
Hoping for a helping hand
Thanks for reply
Mate, it's very simple.
Just download the Hard-Spl from this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446446 and follow the steps mentioned in the link. Once you've done that.
Just go to my previous post and go to that link which includes the 6.5 V13. Download that and install it in the same way as the Hard-Spl. Within 10 min, you can complete everything and start using 6.5.
Its not that complicated, just try it.

hi ialso fron andhra im also using htc viva idea unloack i tried many roams every rom has some bug i hear that Build 23007 ha no problem im trying it today currently imusing WM6.5 B 23033 V23 where ur from!
www.webvamsi555.com [email protected]
Can anyone share Original Indian ROM?
Okk i hav just got my htc touch hd and want to update it to windows 6.5 all the stuff here is damn confusing like in a nutshell
BLAC100 32M
SPL-1.14.0000
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v6
this is wat i get wen i switch on the mobile by pressing the volume button.
I hav gone through the "[TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL]"
for starters which method is better for me HSPL or USPL also to wat i cud understand HSPL seems better but i dont get wat this means in the procedure "A 1.56+ based rom- Dutty's latest rom" 2nd step in the guide why is this done i wanna update to 6.5 so which file shud i select frm tht post there r so many.
Am so condused this is nothing lik hacking and modifying psp i dont wanna brick ma htc touch hd so not takin any rash deicisions and goin wid the update
Plzzz tell me how shud i go about this.
As you have not modified your phone the first thing you need to do is update your ROM using the official updated ROM from HTC you can download this from www.HTC.com it's the new 1.56 one you need.
After you have done this you can either use HSPL or USPL to flash a custom ROM to your phone neither is better than the other. In short USPL lets you flash without changing your SPL and is easier to restore to factory if it goes faulty. HSPL is easier is you flash alot of ROMs as you can just flash without running USPL. The procedure for both are in the Threads in the ROM forum
As for picking a ROM thats entirely up to you i cant tell you which is better than which but i can tell you that i use duttys and have no issues.
If you have anymore questions just give me a shout
Okk i was in a hurry lol to try new things i just saw ur post tday i already went and used the olinex hard spl for blackstone and flashed the rom i got sum color issues but wen i switched of the screen and strted it again it was workin fine thn i updated to mira windows 6.5 its well and good but it clean install nuthin is dere i need to install everythin its fine wid me.

You could try NRG28 ROM its pretty slick although a little heavy on battery, as the above poster I am also on Duttys 6.5 ROM, R9, its very stable.
If you dont like the standard setup check the themes available and also the (post your screens) in themes thread you will be surprised what some people can do.
You shouldnt have to flash a different radio unless your having problems with connections etc
Start with the ROMs then work from there

Thanks! I meant PIM backup, so that's what I'll use, next step is to download Dutty's WM6.5
Well lol i tried all 3 roms by Miri, Dutty, and NRG28 and by far jst love the interface of NRG28 aesthetically amazin to look at though battery drain is alot but if you are a show off like me this is gonna be a complete eye pleaser to all the ladies plus its got all the stuff u need jst a few extra addition lik WinVibe pro player as only this has tempo adjustment and repeats the same song again and again, a comic book reader , divx player, omniano, core player, keep bluechatting and well thts about it though i did lik Duttys home screen the way shortcuts can be added dere but thn again i feel its kinda small lik am seein the screen of a htc diamond maybe ma imagination but i lik ma screen long and wide lol.
Anways thanks for all ur help dude u guys rock helped me get the hang of all this mannn was kinda scared in the beginnin of screwin up the mobile or certain function becomin obsolete lik wifi , gps etc lol know i am cool as a button hehehe
Hi, I have elfin (HTC Touch) and I have Windows Mobile 6 professional and I want to upgrade it to 6.5 so can anyone type me a link so I can download the ROM directly because there is more than one ROM in the forum and I'm afraid to download a wrong one so please help me...thanks
First you read this guide completely.
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721
I read it well and I knew big information about my elfin but really I don't know how to start please tell my what to do first I can tell you the info about my elfin
ROM Version:2.20.707.1B WWE
ROM Date:10/02/07

mind my sarcasm...but he meant to say...to upgrade your device without damaging it...you will need to follow some instructions....and if you read it well and if you are a sane guy...then you would atleast EDIT your POST and remove the god damn IMEI of your device....people dont give away their IMEI jus like that you know...its something only you should know...and jus so you know...i m not trying to piss you off cos you are as we call a newbie....so here is a breakdown of what you need to do
1. your device is an ELFIN...so we know
2. jus like you unlock your sim to use your phone...you need to unlock your device...(so that it becomes writable)
3. to do so...you would need to make use of a part of software called USPL and IPL...USPL does the part of keeping your device unlocked...and IPL needs to remain the same series....if you flashed a USPL of 3.XX then your IPL shud be 3.XX series
4. now do the reading on your own this time and discover all flavours of 6.5 ROMS available here....
btw i wonder why you havent tried the official 6.1 ROM from HTC
thanks so much, first i don't know even the difference between the 6.1 and the 6.5 but when i saw some topics about 6.5 and the people said that it works better with the HTC touch so I think in that, now i made a backup ROM from the one i have is that good step and i already downloaded 2 different ROMs from the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552371 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540)
but how can i make the device rewritable is there a application i can download? and what's your opinion to upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5?

Tht's a good thing to backup your Original ROM, should be helpful in case of errors, bricking or re-servicing. (though i forgot to do mine )

Click to expand...

There's is no problem about being not rewritable or sort! Once you CID unlock and upgrade your IPL/SPL, you can upgrade or degrade your device to any ROM you like whenever u like!
About opinions, there are alot of people here and would obviously have their own different opinions and so you will have too! I'd ask you to try out ROMs yourself and use the suitable one you choose. If you'd like to have a stable ROM, i'd advice you to use the 6.1 ROMs and if you'd like to have newer latest builds, you can go for the 6.5 ROMs (which have been optimized to their best stable by respective cooks). In the end, its up to you which you choose as your BEST ROM!
PS: Do read if the ROM is suitable for your device, in this case- Elfin and few FAQs posted out by the ROM cook. Respect others work and last but not least Read & Search before asking Questions!!
Thank you very much I finally upgraded my elfin to windows mobile 6.5 and it's awesome but i still have one more thing i want to make it read and write Arabic language without convert the whole interface is there a patch? I already searched about that and i found a file but it's not an application and I don't know how to use it. before that in my old 6.0 i downloaded an application when i install it, it solves the whole situation then i tried it with the 6.5 but the start menu won't open after i installed it so i formatted the ROM.

hi, first of all, the backup you have done is probably not ready to be flashed, so whatever you do, dont flash that again or u will brick your phone.
arabic? take a look at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
and finally, i think it will be better if u update ur ipl to 3.10 too.

what he means is....you may brick the device with the backup you just created. so if you wana restore your original...which is the one you have backed up now...you should and can only flash that by making use of USPL or HSPL...search the forum for USPL and HSPL...and you will be given guides...

Dear Friend
I think u didn't have your hands on a good 6.5 ROM
There are 6.5 ROMs with good battery backup in the OPAL forum
Jagan has created this magic for the first time but its a customized version, you may like it
But if u want a ROM like default HTC version you may try my ROM on this thread...http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=655572

Some users had a issue while installing this ROM because of different versions of ONBL on OPAL...

If ur device holds same specs u may use this

HEy,well,the main problem with me is i m a bit stubborn on accepting the fact that the start menu in all the new roms is being put at the bottom and not on the top as the original 6.5's...currently,m trying out the Evo2 by Jagan..its awesum,but misses out on sum important facts and icons,such as on the start menu bar,there is no display of the lock icon when i try out other themes..agreed that hez currently made the best roms here,but it also misses out on the usb connections menu,from which i can have an access to change the actie sync and disk drive settings...i put a lock code to my device,hence,it doesnt appear(on my device,yes i m facing this)also,if suppose,it does come,and if i check the 'dont show this menu again',the =n i m in a complete mess....the rom is stable,but in the long run,the lock icon on the start menu disappears.well,whatever Jagan has made,its commendable,I dont even kno a single percent of what and ow,a stable batery backup rom has been made with utter precision,but,as a friend,i wont like this work to go hay wire...this is not criticizing,but a note to make things more perfect,so that no 1 has a chance to complain....
whatever it is,m keen on the next updated version of the Evolution series,this time with the start menu up....
thanks for making roms...u people make our life work...
love u guyz,thanks for advice...

before flashing which rom???well,i donot take any back up for any rom...all i keep is the .nbh file.thats it...after that its a normal copy-paste work to be done...the .nbh is to be copied,and put into the installation package...to download the installation package,visit the evolution 2 update post posted by jagan 2..google is a great help...but if u dont find a stock rom,u may ask any of the senior members here..they'd be a gr8 help..if u planning to hav a back up of ur rom,please ask for the procedure..i am not aware of it...i advice do not back up ur current rom(6.1 or 6.5)just go on with your customisation...untill u r 100% sure that u hav the stoc rom put up on either xda or google...6.5 is way better than 6.1...camera functions are too good,and it is lot more stable...if at all u need to degrade ur rom frm 6.5 to 6.1,visit a htc service centre and ask the tecnitian to do the needful,swear they are a gr8 help,and it wont cost u nythn..

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.
Here is a tutorial guide for flashing international HD2's.

Use the guide that is appropriate for the model HD2 you have.

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.
Have a look & read at link below;

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.
