P4000 upgrade for a n00b

Hey all - I'm brand new to this and am looking to install a custom ROM on my HTC P4000 from Telus which has the WM 6.1 upgrade on it. Can anyone point me to a solid and reliable ROM plus a step-by-step method to install it?
Sorry again for my lack of experience - I appreciate any help

http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=33857

just a tip. Get a 2gig micro NON-SDHC SD card.
I was able to flash my spl and ROMS with a computer and usb cable, but the radio would not work whatsoever. So I had to get a simple microSD card to flash the radio.
justs a heads up. Cheers, check our Ryan Moguls V1.5 ROM - it's still 6.1 but it's solid, and has the least amount of memory leaks and the most touch friendly interface.
cheers and good luck

Thanks m8 - is that the light or heavy ROM you're referring to?

.. and I am now stuck in bootloader mode.

Extract the contents of Olipro240.exe into a folder using Winrar or 7zip. Disable USB connections in Active sync connections settings (icon on Computers taskbar). Plug the phone in. Now look in the extracted folder for Exitbl.exe. Run that. Soon as it gets out of bootloader unplug the phone, manually put back in bootloader and if you are flashing using the RUU (utility flashing) make sure the memory card is removed. Then plug the phone back in and run the RUU.
OR
If using MicroSD method, unplug the phone and put the Card in the phone. Image named TITAIMG.nbh (make sure computer is set to show file extenstions in control panel folder options hidden files and folders settings). Now manually put the phone in bootloader and follow the prompt.
Cheers.

I am using the SD method, but the bootloader keeps saying image file not found. File is definately TITAIMG.nbh

Follow my instructions and dont post back until you do.
Card should be a non sdhc card. 2gb and under. Fat32 formatted, default allocation size. And the image should be the only thing on the card, no folders or anything..

Now that was strange - I thought for sure it was formatted as Fat32 - it wasn't. Thanks!
BTW - is there any recommendation for my unit - your light or heavy ROM? I have 400mhz CPU and have Telus as Carrier

I know what cpu the phone has.. I design the ROMs. Use Carrierless 1.5 light. But its all up to you. You can try as many as you like the Titan is very durable.

Thanks Ryan - the upgrade went great - nice ROM! Now my only issue is the WMDC won't recognize the device! It shows up in Device Manager (Windows 7) as "Microsoft Windows Mobile Adapter" with a yellow exclamation mark indicating that Windows cannot load the drivers for this device.
Is there a way around this?

I dont know, havent upgraded to Windows 7 yet still using XP and 64 Ultimate. It could be the usb port you are using (use a main one built onto your motherboard and unplug all other devices).
You could of tried restarting your computer, sometimes after a bad flash attempt you could experience detection problems.
You may need HTC drivers and I am not sure they exist yet for Windows 7, the Vista ones may work I am not sure search for those on Howardforums, PPCgeeks, and here I cant remember where I got them from maybe I will find them and upload them to my share site. Although the drivers that come with WMDC should work.
I dont know though buddy. Least you have a Custom ROM on there now. Thats a step in the right direction. Awesome job gittin er dun.. lol

Installed MAGLDR.......

Hi guys,
I have a international HTC HD2 win6.5.
I have installed MAGLDR using these 2 post..........
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/how-to-boot-android-from-sd-card-of-htc-hd2-with-magldr/
http://www.addictivetips.com/mobile/what-is-magldr-and-how-to-install-and-use-it-on-htc-hd2/
When I boot up now it goes to the MAGLDR bootscreen; how do I make it boot to Windows 6.5?

I believe you don't, it wipes your nand memory so you can then either flash Android or WP7 to the internal memory.

OMG! I didn't know that, I thought it was another version of harret; booting up into harret instead of win6.5..........
hmmmmmm.............is there a win6.5 or win7 I can burn into NAND?

I would like to have original Win6.5 that comes with HTC HD2, is it available here?

this has been asked and answered countless times. it helps to read about how to undo what you are doing before you do it!
answer: simply flash your wm6.5 rom from your sdcard.

It's not possible to flash thru the PC, somehow I can't even transfer files via PC.
How do I flash it thru SD?
I've downloaded it and it's "RUU_Leo_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe"

did you do like ANY research or are you just doing something without knowing what the hell you are doing??
in the first place if you thought you could install MAGLDR and still have WinMo in your first place you probably didn't read anything
and concerning flashing that WinMo ROM back on your phone you might want to try and hit that search button because i've seen it hundreds of times explained exactly how to do it...

no progress.........
not sure what to do now...........the UI interface from MIUI current version is not what I am after
[ Before ]
- Official Win6.5 ROM + MIUI SD ROM from (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=969661)
- but then he said he not support SD anymore
- so I thought of moving to MIUI on my phone
[ Now ]
- with MIUI directly, I find that I can't access my SD from PC
- UI not nice.......
I feel like moving to Win6.5 + MIUI on SD, I find that with these configuration, I can access everything via activesync, if I didn't like a particular Android on SD, I just remove it from SD and restore it easily............

didn't work; the 3 colored screen just sits there on serial.......
4) Uninstallation
Only way to remove the HSPL is to flash an original SPL from SD card.
- Take any "RUU_signed.nbh" from a ship ROM and copy it to SD card.
- Rename it to "leoimg.nbh"
- Reset the device while pressing the volume down button.

from this:
http://www.jayceooi.com/2011/01/01/how-to-upgrade-htc-hd2-rom-through-sd-card-video/
20. You should get ‘Red, Green, Blue and White’ screen with SPL-2.08.HSPL.
21. Let go volume down button when you see ‘loading…’.
22. Then ROM upgrade screen will be loaded.
I don't get to "21"...........it just sits on "Serial"............

Oh! Stupid me!
I am able to flashed to official ROM now;
[ STR ]
- connect USB
- restart phone and hold down "power" + "volume down"
- the boot menu should change to USB
- and wait for computer to install proper drivers for it
- THEN!! run RUU_Leo_S_hTC_Asia_WWE_3.14.707.3_Radio_15.42.50.11U_2.15.50.14_LEO_S_Ship.exe
I know the problem now, it's because I didn't wait for the computer to finish installing the drivers to communicate with phone

not with my computer (win7) but with another (win vista)

I my opinion, you should not connect the USB cable befor be in tri-color-screen.
1.) power on the hd2 and go into the tri-color-screen, by hold pressing 'power off' button. There have to appear "serial"
2.) connect the usb cable with the hd2 and the pc
3.) windows show notify, that there is a new (unknown) device
4.) if the driver install fails, you should look for windows updates. the may requiered update is hidden at 'optional updates'. select this and install it.
5.) disconnect and connect the connection between hd2 and pc
If this does not work, you could try to install the 'htc sync' which is used for android. But I´m not sure, if this should help ...
If you are using an 64-Bit windows 7, the driver works in the attachment works fine
Alternatively use the drivers form this post:

[Q] Cannot install any type of files with DAF.exe

Ok well I have been trying to do this for quite some time and never found a solution, I had android 2.3.3 installed on my previous phone and eventually had to use CLK files to upgrade my HD2. That one unfortunately messed up and I received a replacement, and cannot even install an HSPL 2,3, or 4 to unlock the phone because the software does not even boot. I've tried using Ksubedis tool and same thing I will post a picture please someone help its frustrating using WM 6.5.

Right click and "run as administrator " and use USB slot in back of PC case,not front.

Using a Windows 7 HP Laptop 64-Bit only two USB ports(both USB 2.0) they are on the left side, but as you see on the picture nothing comes up not even an error. So idk what is going on.

There's a fair number of threads where 64bit windows doesn't work.any chance you have another machine available?
Also firewall off,anti virus off,and redownload the .exe

Are you running as admin. Is it your laptop do you have admin privileges?

The Rom I have Listed in this Tutorial is said to be the BEST PERFORMANCE ROM. And its SYSTEM PARTITION SIZE IS 400M. And CACHE SIZE 5M. Use it if you like or find your own Rom of Preference and flash that specific Roms Size Partition or it will not boot.
Do You have HSPL 2.08 on this?
1.If Not Use Ksubedi's Toolkit and Go into BootLoader VIA Volume Down and Power Button Simultaneously. and Connect Phone to PC wait for "USB" at Top Center of White Strip.
2. Click HSPL 2.08 in Toolkit, while in BootLoader. Let it Finish.
3. Enter BootLoader one more Time. This time click Install MAGLDR in Toolkit. With Partition Size of which rom you want to flash highlighted. and Correct Cache Size, Partition and Cache Size can be determined by the OP of the Rom you want to Flash.
4. Once Flashed, Hold POWER DOWN. Until you see 12 Options.
5. Go to Option "5. USB Flasher." wait for "Wait USB...USB" (Note Phone Needs to be Connect to PC During whole Process).
6. Use Daf.exe from this File: http://hotfile.com/list/1335611/19f8a51
and Download File HD2_Core_Droid_Desire_HD_V1.6_TMOUS_NAND_ONLY_LEO1024.rar.
7. Once Download and you are in Option 5. Run the DAF.exe in the above file and RUN AS ADMINISTRATOR. Idk why but now devs don't want to include the Daf.exe with their latest builds.
8. Once Daf.exe is finished. Boot into MAGLDR again and go to Option "8. AD Recovery." This time.
9. Partition SDCard, if you haven't done so already, in Advanced Menu with size 1024M and Swap size 0M.
10. Then "Mount USB Storage" Then "Mount USB" and Copy Zip to SDCard.
11. Flash and Reboot.

Yes i understand the process this is my third phone flashing, actually ive flashed numerous phones and never encountered this error. as you see in the picture, after clicking DAF.exe the screen pops up but nothing happens it doesnt even let me know if i encountered an error. which i am assuming its the windows 7 64 bit, and i can't even flash an HSPL with this...and ive tried using ksubedis tool and same conclusion

ok well i discovered that when trying to flash the HSPL4 and click on the DAF.exe the font is invisible but it gives me an option to flash it or cancel you cant see it but when you move the cursor to the bottom right hand corner you see two hollow boxes, the one on the right is to cancel installation as you see if you click on it, and when you move the cursor a little over to the left is to install the HSPL and the next window gives you the option to install which ever HSPL you need. Then I used ksubedis tool to install MAGLDR which i could, then i installed it, but when i attempted to partition i could not flash it. so i just went back to clk, so now i can flash clk only though. dont know whats going anymore.

Its not the problem with the OS. Because I have the same OS, Windows 7 64bit. Well I suggest trying it on another PC or Laptop, whichever is your preference. And another thing I can say is to right click the DAF.executive and then properties and change the compatibility mode to Windows 98? Or Windows XP?
And BTW have you tried running the DAF that is in the file I told you to download earlier? Cuz maybe the Daf.exe you're running now is corrupted?

I have not tried it with the file you provided, but after I install it where do i insert it, and I have downloaded various forms of different ROMS, and tools that use DAF.exe and always the same result. also ive tried changing the compatibility of the tools by right clicking and clicking on troubleshoot compatibility and changing it vista and other older forms of windows and no luck

ok i also discovered when trying to repartition with Ksubedis tool for a ROM and the same happened when trying to install the HSPL, invisible font but this time you dont see the hollow boxes, but there are two boxes on the bottom right as you would when flashing an HSPL. Finally i can use MAGLDR once again even though CLK was easier.

[GUIDE] Rooting HTC Wildfire (Froyo)

THIS GUIDE WILL HELP YOU ROOT ANY WILDFIRE WITH HBOOT VERSION 1.01.0001/1.01.0002
This guide is in fact a combination of two other guides:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1130044
I take no responsibility for whatever may happen to your phone.
To root, you first need to gain S-OFF, this part is taken from the first thread.
So here we go,
- Before doing anything, make sure you have the latest HTC SYNC on your PC (get it from here).
- Connect your phone to PC and sync all your data (contacts, media, docs...etc.)
- Disconnect your phone, then uninstall HTC SYNC, but you must leave the drivers on your PC.
(i.e. Uninstall the htc sync program only, not the drivers)
S-OFFing the Device
Downgrade to HTC Froyo WWE for AlphaRevX "now named: Revolutionary" (HBOOT 1.01.0001)
It has been confirmed that AlphaRevX "Revolutionary" tool is not S-OFFing wildfire (buzz) 2.2.1, with HBOOT 1.01.0002!
Therefore, downgrading the HBOOT to 1.01.0001 is must for the meantime, to get an efficient S-OFF.
Lots of people seem to be having issues when trying to downgrade their Wildfire from a carrier-branded version (HBOOT 1.01.0002) to unbranded WWE (HBOOT 1.01.0001).
So, here’s a small package to help you do this.
click here.
If you have HBOOT 1.01.0001, you can skip to the step entitled Revolutionary
Extract this package somewhere you can find it, like your “Desktop” for example.
Step 1: run step1.bat from the package. This will downgrade your MISC partition to allow for the RUU downgrade.
At the end, GoldCardTool will start up, to allow you to create a goldcard which you will need before starting Step 2.
How to deal with Gold-Card Tool:
1. Switch off your phone, remove your microSD card.
2. Insert the microSD card into your card reader, connect it to your computer and format the card to FAT32 file system.
3. Insert the card into your HTC Wildfire and power it on.
4. Make sure USB Debugging is enabled on your phone in Menu > Settings > Applications > Development.
5. Connect the phone to your computer via USB and set the mode to charge only.
6. Launch Gold-Card Tool on your computer and click ‘GetCID’.
7. Copy the CID code from the text box and click the link shown below that text box to open it in your browser window.
8. In the browser window, enter all the details required and submit that form.
9. You should now get an email from PSAS. Open it and download the ‘GoldCard.img’ attachment.
10. Now set your phone’s USB mode to Mass Storage.
11. In Gold-Card Tool, click ‘Refresh’.
12. Select your mounted SD card from the drop-down menu saying “HTC MMC:”
13. Click ‘Load Goldcard.img’ and select the file downloaded in Step 11.
14. Click ‘Patch MMC’ and your Gold Card will be created. You may exit Gold Card Tool once done.
After you've made the goldcard, and patched it, continue with step 2.
• Step 2: run step2.bat from the package. This will downgrade your ROM version to HTC WWE Froyo for Wildfire (unbranded).
If you get a Customer ID error while doing this, your goldcard is not working!
Create a new goldcard and re-run step2.
Revolutionary
* Steps:
1st You need to get to: http://revolutionary.io/ to download the tool, and to get your “beta key” which you’ll get in a pop-up window in the same download page after you click the download link for (windows version).
The “beta key” is a must; the tool won’t work without it!
You’ll be asked to provide your phone “serial no.”, typically it should be something like HTXXETDXXXXX, and you can get it from:
Settings --> about phone --> phone identity.
Now, do the following:
1. Run latest version of HTC Sync on your PC and connect phone in HTC Sync mode and sync all your files. Remove HTC Sync and not the drivers.
2. Reboot phone.
3. Settings->Applications->Development->Check “USB Debugging”.
4. Run Revolutionary and connect phone to PC in “Charge Only mode”.
5. Revolutionary should recognize your phone and show your Device Serial number.
7. Type out the “key” in the Revolutionary tool software, keeping in mind the upper and lower case letters and press enter (you can copy / paste the key).
8. Revolutionary should start doing its job and you’ll get S-OFF in less than 90 seconds.
9. If it takes longer, just wait for the 15 minutes mark, if nothing, then reboot phone and retry.
(Some members got S-OFF after multiple tries)
Now, to get to actually rooting the phone by installing clockworkmod and subsequently, the superuser app.
1. Ensure that your SD Card is FAT32 then copy this to the root of your SD card: http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=548407&d=1300751790
2. Go into HBOOT(switch off phone and switch on while holding down the volume down button) and click yes when it asks you to update
3. Remove the img file from your sd card and add this file: http://bit.ly/su2361ef
4. Go into HBOOT and click Recovery!
5. Click install zip from sdcard (or some thing like that) (Protip: Navigate in the recovery with the trackpad, not the power button!)
6. Click choose zip from sdcard
7. Locate your zip and let it update
8. Boot into your now rooted phone and install ROM Manager from the market.
9. Open ROM manager and Install Clockword Mod recovery (or sth like that) twice in a row (this is important to ensure proper installation)
YOU ARE NOW ROOT!!!!
Optional: Use ROM manager to install CyanogenMod or another ROM of your choosing

this dont work for me i tried many times.... when i try step 2.bat , cmd pops up does a **** load of codes then closes instantly?

Firstly, were you even on HBOOT version 1.01.0002?
If you were, check if the downgrade was successful after running step2.bat
If it wasn't make sure HTC Sync has been uninstalled but the drivers have not
If the drivers are in place, I suggest looking for a solution at the orginal guide found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035

The first instruction tells you to switch off the phone before removing the SD card.
Try it again.
If it doesnt work, run everything as administrator, else, go to the orginal thread and post your problems there

Shouldn't.... but I did it on a XP 32 bit so maybe you could try running in compatibility mode...

i tried that but no luck..... i also tried on my windows vista 32bit with no luck

Finally got this process to work for me after numerous unsuccessful attempt. Main problem was I was using Win7. Switched to Win 3.1 and things worked.
Also in the guide the step
7. Copy the CID code from the text box
Need to me clarified to ... "Copy the reversed CID code from the text box "
After that all good and am now back on Hboot 1.01.0001.
Thanks for the guide.

Like a charm. Thanks.

Thanks for the information

make sure that you're using the proper controls...:
After boot you select items by vol keys and choose by hitting the power button.
In CWM you also select by vol keys but choose by hitting trackball
Have you done so?

At first boot it might take a while to boot up. If it remains stuck on the logo I'd suggest to reinstall but do a "full wipe/factory reset" from inside ClockworkMod (even better format system and data before).
BTW Which ROM are you trying to install?

Thank u very much for ur help....I appreciate u people very much....
Bt actually that rom was not good that's y I was facing that issue

IF YOU HAVE PROBLEMS WITH CMD and are on Windows 7 (or similar), make sure you start CMD in admin mode.
Otherwise it doesn't work.
1- Make sure the files are stored in a folder in C:\ (or somewhere very short unless you know command line). For example: C:\goldcard
Copy the files from the folder they came in and throw them in there.
2- Go to start and write CMD. Now DO NOT single click the program or type enter. Instead do CONTROL+SHIFT+ENTER
This opens it in Admin mode. (some pop up confirmation may appear).
3- Navigate to the folder by writing "cd C:\goldcard". (Without the quotation marks of course. Use the name of the folder you created in step number one.)
4- write step1.bat
That should do it. The same applies to step2.
