[Q] Which ROM? Mi7 or DFT - Focus General

I plan to flash either the Mi7 or the DFT ROM to my 1.3 focus.
I am looking for your thoughts into which one would be the best to use.
To me it looks like they both provide full interop unlock, it's just that the Mi7 seems to have more built into it.
Thanks in advance for your advice.

You should flash Mi7 ROM which has some improvements compare with DFT ROM

Thanks, that is what I was thinking as well.

Mi7ROm is perfect, flash it!

I did the Mi7. Works great. Although I can't seem to find the Samsung High Fidelity Position update in the Marketplace

Help ! Three Colour Screen...

I'm out of my depth and an need of some help to get my X7500 back into working order !
I upgraded my machine to AP4, carefully following the nicely documented instructions, and it worked a treat. The new interface looked great. However, for some reason my GPS application (i-GO Europe) wouldn't work at all. After searching the threads and not finding anything there, I thought it would be best to return to my old ROM version - the official HTC Advantage WM6 Upgrade. Naively I thought that this would be just as simple as running the Advantage_HTC_WWE_2.21.405.2_1.50.00.00_Ship executable - but I was wrong ! The update failed, and now I am left with a PPC with a pretty three colour screen...

Is there any way that I can recover my device from this state ?
You have spl3.5
very easy to solve
just plug your athena to the PC and install a rom for SPL3.5 , there are several good ones, since AP4 didn't work for you and I cannot remember if AP4 can be installer from boot loader, the easy thing should be install the latest Michiprima rom (SPL3.5 not 1.20)
if you wish to install a original rom in the future remember to use spl downgrader to go back to SPL1.20
As always take memory cards from the device before playing and please read

Tried the Michy R6.0 and it does look good. Still having problems with my GPS application though, so might have to go back to the original. Will play around with this one in the meantime.
Thanks for taking the time to make your suggestion.

In regard to the GPS have you upgraded your radio version above 1.5
Radio 1.57
or
Radio 1.58

Unfortunately not !
I ended up loading AP3, and my GPS application worked on that. Now I've gone back to the official WM6 ROM. When I have some time, I might reload the AP4 ROM and try the new versions of the radio - but I need a stable device at the moment.
Thanks again
i just remembered
i just remembered you have to disable htc home in AP4 for igo to work
Just load michys large htc home cab instead

> ROM Version: AP 4.0 Platinum

Just an update for those interested. I'm now running AP4 with i-GO happily running away. Not sure I needed to update the Radio version, but you were right - I had to turn off the HTC HOME in Today.
Thanks for the help from those more experienced. It was greatfully received and, although I haven't had time to really use the upgraded device in anger yet, I am currently very happy with it.
Just one last thing. Have you got a link for the said 'michys large htc home cab', as that would be the icing on the cake to have that lovely Home available.
Thanks very much !

To flash or not to Flash. Please advise.

Sorry if this is a really n00b question but I figured this would be the best place to ask it.
I live in Australia have recently purchased an HTC HD2.
It is the GSM version (non Telstra) and I am using an Optus 3G GSM SIM.
The current ROM version is 1.48.831.0 (71294) WWE The current Radio Version is 2.05.51.05_2
I want to know if it is safe to install a more up to date ROM on the phone as when I browse the australian website, the only ROM update available is for the telstra version of the phone and when I enter my serial number I am told that my phone is not supported.
I am able to use a different serial number to download a more up to date ROM from one of HTC's international sites but I am scared I will brick the phone or make it not work with my Optus SIM anymore if I install it.
Any advice would be appreciated.
Hi
You can absolutely flash the device with any stock or cooked ROM.
If you prefer to go for a stock ROM, the latest one is WWE 1.66.405.2.
You can download ROMs here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Leo/ROMs
If you go for a cooked ROM then obviously look for the developers page and read up on the ins and outs of his/her ROM.
If this is your first flash, I would recommend having a read of this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
You are also welcome to pop over the Whirlpool forum where you will find several people who have flashed their devices with new ROMs (stock and cooked).
The thread is long and there are several preceding thread; however, read the last few pages and jump on in. There are plenty of folk there happy to offer advice and support from our sunny shores.
By the way, I flashed the non-Telstra device from WWE 1.48 to 1.66 without a problem.
Perfect! Thankyou for the reply!!!
OK so I just finished reading through all the info on flashing and am feeling much more confident now.
Just one more question, what radio version did you install to go with the 1.66 ROM? or didn't you need to upgrade it, if so what version are you running?
EDIT: Depending on what image you use, it would appear that the radio ROM is flashed with the ROM? correct?
Thanks
EDIT2: I just figured out that I can download the official rom from the Hong Kong HTC site. It accepts my SN so I wont need an additional bootloader to install the rom.
The version is 1.72.831.1
The URL is http://www.htc.com/hk-en/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=906
Successfully flashed 1.72.831.1 last night using the standard bootloader.
Took about 6 minutes and no issues at all. Took about 40 minutes to get everything set back up the way I had it before so not too bad.
Straight out of the box the phone seems far more responsive than it did with 1.48. Faster still with the Glyph cache tweak and VSYNC off.
Radio signal seems better and the WiFi seems to be reliable with automatically connecting to my configured netowrks as I move around.
No negative side effects as of yet!

I'm sorry I didn't get back and respond last night; however, it sounds like everything has run smoothly and been a success.
Excellent news!
I find it so satisfying flashing a new ROM. It's kind of like purging the old and starting afresh with something new that suits your needs.
Have fun!

AFAIK, you keep the unlock, BUT before you flash any ROM, query its author.
what you mean with AFAIK ? ... and is there any IMPROVED ROM for HTC surround yet?. thanks!
There is no custom ROM's for the Surround.
Sent from my Surround using XDA Windows Phone 7 App

AFAIK is short for "As Far As I Know"
You should check Ansar's posts for new ROMs. You can start here.
You don't need to flash a new ROM to get OS updates. All updates come through Zune, you might need to unbrand your device in order to get the updates (this requires you to "developer unlock" your phone, check this thread for unlocking.)
Have fun!

could any1 post an alternative link to this mine keeps saying download interupted when i try this thanks
Any chance of some more information of what the rom contains or what improvements it may make.
First two things noticed, the bootloader and radio version are later than I thought was available as the NoDo Update is cooked into it so it's NoDo'd out of the box so to speak.

Not tired it yet, but it should not install if its not a valid O2 rom
Installed it - seems ok no major speed differences of battery life - but seems to be the latest around - if anything the signal strength is possibly better. Just really waiting for Mango and hoping that the move to 7.5 will be possibly on original 7 devices - anyone know this?
I install this with rum? help me
I dont think drinking is going to help you install this. lol
Whats the battery like with this radio? any improvments over the stock version? (besides nodo)

Um....Really!
Would you beleive that i just flashed this to a TMOUS HD7?!
Not only did it flash but it did indeed update radio and it works!
Makes me wonder, have i just unlocked the 900 band to use this in Australia??
Either way my pd29110 is now a T9292 haha
Next step would be to load a custom rom with no branding and i would have just reverted a TMO to a stock HTC. me is happy

Sry if asking a stupid question but is this the official tmous rom. because my comp did not save my backup and im ready to run from mango back to nodo so is it safe to flash this rom on any tmous hd7.
Can this be installed if you are running Mango Beta?

Only Zune is able to backup your things. This is a updated ROM, not and update from Zune, so it will wipe everything you have on your device.
Unfortunatly, Microsoft did not developed yet a way to backup your apps + data.

I will try this and let you know. Probably yes, but you will loose your Mango and the everything else on device.

Probably if you're using Mango, you're running Zune Beta Client.
I had Mango and the regular Zune Software on my machine and the updater didn't recognize my device. I entered in USB Mode and everything went fine.
Ofcourse, all the phone was wiped.
Things I realized 'til now:
1 - The performance seems better than the previous NoDo update;
2 - EDGE icon now shows 2G;
3 - There are more languages even for keyboard and the display (cool!!!);
4 - Wifi seems to be 'smarter' and 'faster'. Took less time to connect than before;
Can't tell about the battery life yet.
I'm yet thinking in upgrade to Mango Beta since probably we will have news about RTM update soon.

I just went ahead and rolled back to nodo and did the update over Zune. Here's what I've noticed.
1. As mentioned above edge is replaced with 2G icon.
2. Signal strength is much improved. Thanks HTC.
3. FM radio reception is much improved.
4. The pink tint issue with the camera is fixed.
5. Camera takes much better photos now. Not getting all the blurriness anymore.
6. WiFi connects much faster.
7. Interface is much smoother/faster. Who would have thought that was possible since the interface was already pretty fast.
8. Speaker volume improved.
I'll be testing the battery life today but I've read others saying that the battery life is also improved. Will be testing bluetooth today also. I had issues where mp3s would actually skip over bluetooth and streaming audio would come across slow like a record on the wrong speed. Nice job HTC.
Is there any way to just flash the radio and not the OS image? I want to update my hd7 but im running the mango rtm.
Thanks, downloading now. I'm going to save this one as a last resort just in case my pre-Mango backup doesn't work right.

Make sure your running Zune 4.8 go into your settings to check if it begins with 4.8 your good if not you have to download the the package its around 258mb's.
I was running the mango beta 2 so I just rolled back to NoDo, let Zune install the HTC update, then did the procedure for installing mango beta 2 again and got mango 7712 instead. NICE!!! I feel like I have a new phone.

RTM is 7720, what you are talking about is 7712, which was released for developers yesterday. 7712 is sort of a final RC, which Microsoft deemed to be "good enough" for developers to use to begin testing their software for release.
Anyone know if this contains the latest HTC update for the phone? Or is this a newer radio or something?
