Beginners how to update...

Okay, I've been doing a ton of reading, and finally after having issues updating from Open Touch 3.0 to 4.0, I decided to Hard Spl. Everything worked fine, and is running great, but I thought I'd post some things that might help out some noobs (like me) when they decide to mod their phones.
First off, there are two methods to flashing to new roms.
USPL and Hard SPL
Basically your phone has software to keep from being overwritten. In order to flash, you need to bypass this.
USPL, is a software that will temporarily disable this allowing you to flash then. This is the safest way to flash to different roms. Some roms require a hard spl, so it depends on what you are flashing to. Here is a link that has the USPL link to download and how to use it.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377939r
Now, if you want to Hard SPL, you need to know this can brick your phone if not done properly. First, hard spl permanently writes over your phone basically unlocking it. This can be reversed, but there are other threads describing how to do that. You need to make sure your ipl is 4 or higher. If it isn't, you will brick your phone. Check this my holding the camera button down, and press the soft reset button (use the stylus and push it in the small hole on the left side of the phone.) Make sure you hold the camera button down until you get the 3 gradient colored screen. (I think it's red, blue and green). The top will say your ipl number.
First, download this file
http://www.sendspace.com/file/ot8zsn
It will contain 3 files you need to install first in a certain order. Unzip this to your desktop. It will make a folder called hardspl 6.
You need to make sure your phone has an option selected. Go to start\system\usb to pc. Check the box for advanced networking
Next, you want to put your phone in flight mode.
First install canonyang.cab.
(Install by copying that file to your pda through activesync and then just use file explorer to find the file on your pda and double tap that file).
Next install aserpolicy.cab
Finally install disablesecurity.cab.
Then do a soft reset (press the small hole with your stylus on the left side of your phone).
Now, go to the hardspl6 folder on your desktop, and run the romupdateutility.exe file.
It will walk you through the install. At one point, your screen will go white. Leave your phone alone until it reboots itself. Viola! You are hard spliced. Now, you can load whatever rom you wish to.
Hope this helps somebody out there...I was extremely confused at first.

Seems easy enough. I had a Wing, but returned it after I was told I wasn't getting it for the price I was told. There's a big difference in paying $150 for a Wing with a promotional code and paying over $350 or whatever it is. But now I got another one finally and I love it. I've wanted to make it look better since I had the first one, but I always thought it was risky. I didn't wanna risk messing up my phone. Plus I don't know much about it anyway and I never wanted to really bother people and ask. Not that i'm an idiot and I can't understand tutorials others have posted or anything. It's just that the phone is completely new to me and even some words i'm not familiar with. For example, what brick means.. hard spl.. etc. I still do wanna get my wing looking nice though. I definitely wanna get a black/grey theme going.

Bravo!

I have a general idea of what I want my today screen to look like. These 2 today screens look great and I wouldn't mind having those for mine.

Perhaps you can tell me what the romupdateutility.exe does ? Do you point this util to the rom you want to install ? And the util takes care of the installation of that rom ?
And perhaps you can tell me how to get back to the origional htc-rom ?

Just trying to help out some. I know when I started, I asked a lot of noob questions, but you guys were great in answering every one I had. It's just that a lot of the terminology can be confusing.

Brick means to make your device useless. It's basically where you try to turn your phone on, and nothing happens. (Hence the term brick, because that's all you can use your phone as). This is usually done when you try to hard spl, and it fails. You have to do a lot of reading to make sure you can even hard spl depending on the IPL 4.xxx of your phone. You can find this out by holding the camera button and doing a soft reset (using the stylus and pushing the small hole on the left of the phone) Hold the camera button down till the phone come up in the 3 gradient colors blue, red, and green I think. It will say at the top what IPL number you have. If it's below 4, you can't hard spl or you will brick your phone. Hard spl is basically unlocking your phone so you can install any rom you wish to flash to. It overwrites the software that protects your phone from being written over. That is the dangerous part though. You can use the uspl method, which basically temporarily overwrites your phone, but most roms require the hard spl method. I got some weird errors using the uspl method though.

The bottom screen shot looks like Open Touch v. 3.0. I think the top one is touch it, but I could be wrong. I have never flashed with touch it yet.

The rom update utility (not trying to sound sarcastic) updates your rom. The rom, (basically the operating system you are trying to flash to). You have to place the .nbh file (the operating file you download) in the ruu folder and it knows you want to update to that rom. It will tell you what rom you have in that folder when you are flashing though so you know you have the correct rom in it.

I feel like explaining my file naming conventions, and ROM build numbers...
Build numbers are in the format YYMMDDBB, Year Month Day Build (how many times I've had to rebuild the ROM that day), so today's first ROM would be 09122801.
ROM files names use that and some extra bits. They're in the format
RUU_Device_l3v5y_Build_Type_Lang_MSBuild_OEMBuild
Type can be V for Vanilla, F for Full or L for Light.
So today's full WWE 28014 ROM based on the 2.01 OEM ROM is:
RUU_Leo_l3v5y_09122801_F_WWE_5.2.28014.5.5.0_2.01

Reserved for me aswell!

just a question, not a suggestion. I read that there is really no such thing as "manilla" anymore. I also read that it isn't a home screen replacement anymore either, it is so integrated into WM that it would be very difficult to remove. So that said, i am interested in your lite version but am curious.... have you obtained any knowledge about how to go about this? U guys are smart enough to figure it out but just curious if you have done any work on this yet.
thanks and good luck!!

It realy is not that hard to remove Manila (HTC sense) and all other htc stuff.
just remember that not of the HTC stuff was in there in the first place

As gullum says, it's really not that hard... HTC have to include all the Microsoft things for licensing reasons (I may be wrong, but they do anyway) so all the HTC stuff just covers up the MS things. If I just don't include the HTC stuff in the build it won't cover up the MS equivalents, and everything will be fine!
I will release both a clean and a full ROM at the same time though, so people can pick which they prefer...

HTC needs to include all MS parts in WindowsMobile not for licensing reason but for another simple reason: you can't exclude some parts, as that parts are in the CORE of the OS.. and Manila too uses them.
Manila is only an interface that calls MS's parts (yeah, only a few manila modules calls MS's parts but they DO..).
The only thing that can be removed is CHome (Titanium) I think, but for the size of it, it doesn't matter if it's included or not.

Manila doesn't call on Microsoft MyPhone ever, that's a part of the SYS that is included by default but I can remove for some more space... It also doesn't use the Sample Music package, FWUPDATE, SQM etc... There's lots that can be removed that isn't.

WM6.5 kitchen based on the 1.43 OEM ROM is now availible...

Umh... as for the MyPhone, well, it has an utility... synchronizing your phone data with Microsoft's servers is a secure place to do a backup...
Yeah, for us it's not because we use PPCPimBackup and we don't store our data on Microsoft servers because it's faster to use PimBackup to save and restore...
...but think of the people who don't know of the existence of PimBackup or simply businessmans that don't care about using a data connection for saving and restoring data, who won't lose their time searching for a program like PimBackup that saves data locally, or simply doesn't want to store their data locally because they're afraid of losing it after an unexpected format!
As for FWUPDATE and SQM, yeah, you're right, that packages are useless and slows up some devices (for example the TouchDiamond).
And... Sample Music package isn't so useless... hey, they're shipping a device!
If you're shipping a device and you're paying for an OS that includes sample music, would you pay rights to an artist for putting on the system other music than the samples provided in the OS?!? I won't do it..
Ouh, and thank you for the kitchen, I'm downloading it for verifying base settings (for example chunk size) of my kitchen. You're the best, man

They are, apparently it's "a little different" to last time, so it might be a while... :S

I've been speaking to Paul over at MoDaCo with regards to AppToDate for the whole ROM, which should be implementable so you can get over the air ROM updates! The issue is, I need somewhere to host the files with direct linking rather than with redirects...
If anyone can help, can you drop me a PM/post here?
Thanks!

I've actually been discussing some things with him, though hosting there might be a little bit of an issue if MS noticed... :s
We shall see, it's a few weeks till the device is out, and longer till we get HardSPL.

this is the responce when clicking on:
"WM6.5 Leo Kitchen (stock 1.43 ROM) is now http://rapidshare.com/files/299660486/Leo_1.43.405. "
Error
The file could not be found. Please check the download link.

well I can upload it to my rs.com account with trafficshare enabled. this means the downloaders can download it straight without any waiting times. there's a catch though, I have limited traffic (around 60GB right now). I only used a few megs of the 60GB and probably will never use them at all. So I can provide you with that for a while (dunno how long it takes to get to 60GB traffic used).
Just PM me if you want me to set it up.

Downgrading ROM

I'm not sure if anyone else would like to do this, so it might have to be a personal favor for me
I'm pretty new to all these ROM issues, been using my Polaris since 2008, but didnt fool around with it much until recently HTC released their official wm6.1 ROMs so I decided to check it out.
However there are a few issues with the phone now
1. I cannot install Thai language onto the phone so I cannot read SMS that are in Thai. (if anyone has the cab/exe file for me it would be great) the last time I installed the phone resets after installation and never came back on again, and so I had to HardReset again
2. I backed up my SMS and they used to come up as individual SMS everytime I restored them, but after I upgrade to 6.1 it becomes threaded, which is a bit inconvenient.
But as of today, I found some problem with the touch keyboard, so I decided to Hard Reset once more, now I see 260 SMS while scrolling, but I can only see the ones on my SIMcard when I stop scrolling, so I was wondering if I could downgrade the ROM back to 6.0 (the original one)
_________________________________
now I also want to try the various new ROMs that are being released, and I wanted to know if I could change it in any order, or I can only upgrade from a lower (older) version to a higher (newer) version.
now I read something about HardSPL, I downloaded the zip file but there wasn't any instruction inside so I'm not sure how it works
The warranty is over so I'm willing to risk weird stunts as long as I dont crash the phone all together.
so in summary, I need
1. to know if I can downgrade the ROM to the original one
2. to know how to get the HardSPL to work (and do I really need it)
3. Thai language support
4. non-threaded SMS
5. if there is anything cool you people would like to recommend go ahead
Thank you in advance,
Chan (UG)

2. I loaded the Hard SPL zip file someone put up, (your thread leads to it too) but I have no idea how to use it, is there any tutorial or something, the thread I got the file from dates back to 2007 and its a big thread.

Ok I tried installing the HardSPL and I think something went wrong
I was told to replug the USB which I did, but the phone pretty much went unresponsive, I waited for 30 minutes but nothing happened, so I Exited the program and restarted my phone.
Nothing seemed to have changed with the phone, I mean, it works the same old way it used to.
but when I pressed the camera and hit reset, to go to the tricolor screen.
the SPL changed from 1.xxxx to 3.13 something like that
but the tutorial said it has to go to SPL-2.20.Olinex
now I'm pretty confused
Edit: I also have a program called JumpSPL which cannot be runned
Edit2: ok I retired and successfully got the HardSPL done
however I face a problem related to the SMS now
I originally backed up my SMS, and until recently when I restored everything use to come back, but now I get only the sent SMS and the Drafts back, the inbox still shows a total of 260 SMS but I can only see the ones that are on my SIM card, fortunately I have another PIM backup which I used another program to back up my stuff back in November 2009, but I got some important SMS sent and received during December and January
I don't really mind sending people my dbk (backup file) if they need to check if the file works, because I kept backing up on top of the previous file, I have only 1 back up file which has everything till 28th Feb 2010 but the SMS dont come in

1. I used some weird program to backup before I upgraded to the win6.1 ROM which I got from the HTC
all the SMS came up properly, there was no problem at all
Then I went to install my old Thai language support, and the phone froze
So I HardReset the phone again and restored the backup again
all the SMS came up Properly, there was no problem at all
then after a few days I noticed that the touch keyboard (the cool looking one) wasn't working properly, so I did another backup (which replaced the previous backup file) and HardReset once more
then when I restored, nothing came up in the inbox other than the SMS that were stored on the SIM, however when I roll the whell over the SMS it said selected 1/260 items, but all I see are the 7 SMS on the SIM and not the other 260 that are supposed to be on the phone.
2. Not many people use windows mobile, all iphone and bb lovers around me
3. HardReset many times, never flashed any new rom.
then I found another back up file, which was backed up back in november 2009, I restored that one, but I still have 3 months worth of SMS missing from there
I did try this stunt anyhow, I restored the file with all the 'unseeable' SMS and then restored the november back up on top of that, so I have all SMS [sent and received] till november + all sms [sent only] till feb 28th, but the received sms [from nov to feb] is still missing
I did get Tom's sms app, but i cannot run it, I got some error
and I'm willing to try Flashing a ROM, so just recommend me something, I'm not really choosy at the moment.
Thanks,
Chan.

3. HardReset many times, never flashed any new rom.
then I found another back up file, which was backed up back in november 2009, I restored that one, but I still have 3 months worth of SMS missing from there
I did try this stunt anyhow, I restored the file with all the 'unseeable' SMS and then restored the november back up on top of that, so I have all SMS [sent and received] till november + all sms [sent only] till feb 28th, but the received sms [from nov to feb] is still missing
I did get Tom's sms app, but i cannot run it, I got some error
and I'm willing to try Flashing a ROM, so just recommend me something, I'm not really choosy at the moment.
Thanks,
Chan.

1. mmhh...try if you can extract the file on pc...or something like that...
->it´s the only one idea i have...sorry
2. yes...i know this...but with wm 6.5 update i have 2 friends convince for a htc (sorry for the english)
but it´s a problem of all people with IPhone and so on...the phone is good but compared with newer or even a wm 6.5 phone it´s not the best...but much people think it´s the best...
3. for flash look on my thread under steps...there is all you need
->if you want not my rom but another flash another...it´s always your choice what you flash
-> but the way you must do...is on my thread under steps
edit:
flash:
1. first original rom and hard reset (hold the two left and right buttons on the bottom + stylus reset) if you see the calibration screen
2. rom of your choice.. also with hard reset
3. radio (soft reset comes automatic)....not a must have....but if you have little freeze

Ok will try flashing one of your ROMs, since I messed up my device again by installing the Thai language support. I used to be able to use the one designed for WM2003SE but they won't let the device boot anymore
ok do let me know which wm6.5 ROM consumes the least amount of resource (space and memory)
I like my phone to run fast.

1. I cannot install Thai language onto the phone so I cannot read SMS that are in Thai. (if anyone has the cab/exe file for me it would be great) the last time I installed the phone resets after installation and never came back on again, and so I had to HardReset again (UG)

[TMOUS][KITCHEN+ROMs][WWE]WM6.5 21892 & 24634 "Just Another T-Mobile HD2 ROMs"
"Just Another T-Mobile HD2 ROM v1"
Works with T-Mobile USA HD2's but T-Mobile junk removed.
Includes Kitchen
I used osKitchen Zero v1.32Alpha7 and dumped the 2.13 OEM ROM myself so I got exactly what I wanted to start with.​
I've created a Bunch of Packages myself, again, to get what I wanted. A few of the packages I've only modified to get them to work the way I want. The Folder Icon's are my work.​
I tried to keep it similar to OEM, but changed a few things to make it mine.​
I am ill, so I will not always be available to answer questions, but I will do my best. I do this to keep my mind on other things while I deal with my illness, be patient with me if you can. I am doing this in my spare time, so don't expect miracles. ​
Before Flashing, PLEASE backup your Data, and make sure you have Hard SPL 3 on your Phone.
Use This Tool from 'doloop' to complete a Task 29 on your phone. This will Format the ROM Space and clear any previous ROM code from your phone so you get a Clean Flash and less chance of errors on the new ROM. Simply connect your phone to your PC with the USB. Unzip the attachment and run the Exe file inside. When the Flashing reaches 95%, PRESS and HOLD the Volume Down button until it reboots and enters bootloader mode. Now you are ready to flash this ROM.
I will post the Self Extracting Kitchen, an RUU_Signed_0409.nbh, and an AutoFlash file.
What is AutoFlash you ask? I've taken the RUU file, added the Flashing Program, and Packaged it all up into an Auto Executing Auto Flashing Program, and, it's a smaller download than the RUU alone. Pretty cool huh? Yes, others have already done this, but I'm going to make it a standard practice from now on.
"AutoFlash (tm), Making Flashing Socially Acceptable, One Package at a Time!"
Run the AutoFlash file, or Flash using the Standard Flashing Program included in the Kitchen.

I've flashed it around 30 times now during testing, and so far, it's fine for me.
You should see 'SPL-2.08.HSPL' on the Boot Loader Screen. Also, keep in mind this ROM is for the T-Mobile USA HD2. I am not sure if it runs on the International versions.
If you have that, then you should use the Task29 file in the first post. Remember to hold down the Volume Down button around 95% and keep holding it till the phone reboots into bootloader again. Then flash the ROM.
I have not flashed from the uploaded files yet as I'm still trying to get them all uploaded. MediaFire was having trouble last night, so possibly a file got corrupted? I'll be testing them shortly. Files are now Confirmed Working.

95%? you mean when screen Shows the Big HTC and then percentage below it? then i should use those buttons?

Dantia said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When you are flashing the TASK29 file. When it reaches 95% Completion, hold the Volume Down button until it Reboots into BootLoader Screen. (Red, Green, Blue Screen) When flashing Task29, NOT when flashing the ROM.
After rebooting into BootLoader, it should be ready to flash the ROM.
Has anybody else flashed this yet? Any additonal input so I know if I have a corrupt upload?
EDIT: I'm downloading it now and test flashing it to verify.
EDIT: See post #8 below

No i mean cause i got a big Black Screen and in middle of it says HTC Big Fonts... below it loading crap... 95% and then i press them on that screen till i get 3 color one? hmm think i got it tell me if it works ... doing a raid in World of Warcraft atm

Confirmed Working
I just downloaded the Self Extracting RUU file and flashed it. It worked fine. Keep in mind that the First Boot took 1 1/2 minutes to finish. Be patient...
I just downloaded the AutoFlash file and flashed it. It worked fine.
I just downloaded the Kitchen, and it extracted fine.
All seem to be working fine. Please let me know if you get different results.

you know the first time u use the tool u have a put a link in here? it goes to 95% almost instantly i use Volume down and Red buton.... nothing happens and now i am again stuck on Stick together

Dantia said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
When using the Task29 tool, it will go to 95% almost instantly. That is normal. ONLY hold the VOLUME DOWN button at 95% and continue to hold it until the phone reboots into BootLoader. THEN flash the actual ROM.
It sounds like you sucessfully flashed Task29. If you are still on the Stick Together screen, open the back of your phone and hold down the Volume Down Button while pressing the Reset Button. This will put you into BootLoader mode so you can flash the ROM.
When you flash the actual ROM, it will take a few minutes, like other ROMs.

do i have to do that aswell with Autoflesh?

Dantia said:

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
No. Holding down the Volume Down button is only for the Task29 step. Flashing the ROM is like normally done with other ROMs.
If you want to try the AutoFlash version, just download the files. Connect your phone to your PC via USB. Run the AutoFlash file and follow the directions.

Ok,i got it working yeeeeeeeeeh! but aswell Windows Live not working aswell youtube program since i dont have my country but i will remove it somehow and replace with older or newer version.... other works very good thanks....

For the moment, yes. This one was really hard for me to get right. I don't know why. Probably just me. I dumped the new 3.14 release directly and went from there. I kept all the original OEM, SYS, XIP, Packages, etc and modified some things to be the way I wanted them. I've only been running it for a couple days, but so far, no problems that I see.
I may attempt a com5 in the future if I can get it to work correctly.
Uploads should be up in about 5 mins.
For the moment, they do Not include ACR until I receive permission to cook it in. Everything else will be the same.

what is ACR? the rom is nice

Thank you!
ACR is Automatic Call Recording. It asks after each call if you would like the call saved to your phone. The files are very small, and can be listened to on your phone or Computer. More info can be found HERE.
You can install ACR on your own by visiting that link and downloading the CAB file. The one I would like to cook into the ROM I've already adjusted for the HD2 and set it to save the file to My Documents so they will be Synced to your Computer when using ActiveSync or WMDC (Windows Mobile Device Center). They are saved as Notes.
But, please be aware that recording calls without the other parties permission may be illegal where you live. Check your local laws. If you tell the other party, then you are good in most places. If you cannot use it legally, then just disable it.

UPDATES
Updates on First Post:
Now, More Android Friendly, at least using m-deejay's Android build Found Here. Tested and working fine. NO RoboVoice. Might be working with others, but only tested m-deejay's Builds. For a working Android Build that I know works for me, use the ROM WITH Radio included.
Also, added ACR (Automatic Call Recording) and some more games.
Minor Tweaks, New Boot Animation and Shutdown Animation
Kitchen is now Available!
Download all updates at the bottom of First Post.

Yes, that's probably your best bet. I don't know of a CAB that can delete programs cooked into the ROM, I may be wrong though.
I have debated cooking a ROM without all those, so people could install JUST what they wanted. Also, it makes it easier to install updated cabs when they come out. Opera, Google, etc...
If there was enough request for it, I would be happy to oblige.

yea mos def a +1 from me on that...
and thanks to you guys for pointing me in the right direction..

Ok, here is the Final Release version of T-Mobile ROM v3.14 with all the junk removed. I've also removed Google, Yahoo, etc..., things you might want to install as cabs so you can update as they become updated. It also includes the latest Radio 2.14.50.14. This was updated from the Beta Release of 3.14. Other updates include Messaging and Run CC. I'm sure there are more updated items, but I have not looked into it yet. I haven't added anything, just removed.

very n00b-ish when it comes to this stuff....
i assume thjis is going to wipe out everything on the phone and s.c. correct?
so its best to just go ahead and format/hard reset before i try this?
also like i dont get all this stuff about "if radio is compatable" and etc...
how would i know if it is or isnt, etc?
my phone is a fairly new hd2, so i dont know what the hell im supposed to find out before i do this...

From what I can see, it appears you have the T-Mobile USA HD2, is that correct? If so, you should be compatible. If not, please don't flash this ROM until you further verify it is ok to do. Notice, your radio has .50 in it, which is a compatible Radio to flash. NEVER flash a .51 Radio as it will ruin your phone so it can not be recovered. Example: Your radio is 2.10.50.26 or X.XX.50.XX You can flash other radios that are in the .50 configuration. Example: 2.15.50.14 Notice, the .50 in the same position? X.XX.50.XX
Now, if you are comfortable proceeding, please read the following thread first:

In that thread, you will notice that you will need to flash HardSPL before flashing any custom ROMs. If you follow those directions carefully, you should be good to go.
PS: Yes, this will wipe everything on your Phone's Internal Memory. Your SD Card will remain in tact. But it's a good idea to backup everything just in case. For your contacts, appts, email, sms, etc, you can use PIM Backup. I've attached it below. Run it and back up everything, then after flashing a Custom ROM, you can run it again to restore your data. It does NOT backup the entire phone, only data. I cook PIM Backup into my custom ROMs, but not this stripped ROM, so keep a copy handy on your SD Card for future use. Unzip the file and copy the exe file to your SD Card and run it directly from there.
Good luck, and feel free to ask questions if you get stumped.

I know there's an easier way to do it, and I'd love to hear an answer from someone who knows how to do it. I've been doing it the hard way and editing the following files before cooking:
mxipupdate_oemoperators_102.provxml -
mxipupdate_oemoperators_103.provxml - mxipupdate_RemoteDesktopMobile.provxml - mxipupdate_zzRemoveTSKmgr_1.provxml
I also add my own files in my package "SuperSportzzzzz Base Start Menu and Launcher"
I'd like to know if there's a way to add a package with these files modified that will remove links. I can add links just fine, but I'm not sure how to remove. I think it's done with provxml files and the 'Delete' command, but I have not figured out how yet.
To be sure I've got everything done correctly, I use the Search Command inside the Kitchen to look for each reference to the lnk file I want to Move/Change. See example of Marketplace.lnk
