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 !
Eizig from France

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

[Q] HELP NEEDED !! hd2 windows phone 7 zune software update???

i am wanting some help to do with my htc hd2 running windows phone 7 with the dft rom and mgldr and when i have my phone connected to my computer it brings up there is an update available but it always times out and i have tried rectifying the problem by downloading the windows phone support tool BUT this is where the problem is, i cant use this tool because the buttons on the phone have changed when the dft rom and mgldr have been installed and now i cant get my phone onto the connect to pc image screen for windows which is a black screen with the phone, cable and a laptop in it, the updates through zune will then be accepted it fails on the last step every time please help!!!! many thanks jamie.

Yes there is a update from Microsoft available for WP7 called NoDo. But a working adaptation of it for the HD2 is not available yet. It was a video released a while back showing NoDo copy and Paste feature working on the HD2 by the DFT. But it kind of seem to be holding out for the Mangoo update or something because a ROM that can either receive the update or has the update included in it has yet to surface that I know of.
So just to make sure you understand, you can not install the update no matter what you do right now. Unless you would like to jump in and steal the spot light for a minute and be the one that officially released said ROM. That is if you are so minded to do it, I personally would love to but I do not have the knowledge to do so yet.

Many thanks for your help and am i right in saying that the mango update should be around about the 25th may 2011? i read 4 to 5 pages last night trying to find info on these matters hence the time of post . HD2 PROUD OWNER.

[Q] Dutch guy needs some help

Hello everybody,
Today I installed WP7 on my hd2 and it works great, but I don't know what I have to do now, I can't install apps etc because I haven't activated my phone yet. I've read everything here I think I have to unlock it with Chevron tool? But if I click on 'unlock' it gives an error.
And what do I have to do after that?
And can it give problems that I live in the Netherlands?
Sorry for my dumb questions but I hope someone can help me.

BTTF ROM is already unlocked but mango update mess up this, you must do hard reset to working ok or use unlock cab files... no need to use chevron

need help with choosing and installing WP7 ROM

So im using android at the moment and i want to move to wp7 cuz its really smooth and i like wp (plus i heard that there is a skype and whatsup finally )
ok so here's the deal,i need to choose a ROM,so i tought about this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1443709
but i dont really know,if you can give me adviced or links to good roms it will be awesome.the rom is for daily use so i need pretty regular one ;p(but i need acces to download things from the marketplace and i heard something about activation codes..wat ?)
secondly i need to know what i need for wp7.. so here's a list of what i have:
1.MAGLDR113
2.4gb sd card
3.ClockworkMod Recovery (250)
4.SPL-2.08.HSPL
5.i think i have radio 2.15.50.14 but im not sure cuz it not showing it ;o
i have all i need?
thank you!

Hi
The one big downside ( well at least some people think so) of WP7.5 is that you cant sync contacts , calender directly with your PC ! So this is something you need to think about before moving to WP7 . Syncing has to be done via "the cloud" so you'll need to set up a windows live/hotmail or a google gmail account.
As for which rom.....we could argue endlessly which is best. Different people have different requirements.
I have been using Pdaimatejam roms ( I'm now on ver 7.8) for a good few weeks now and its working well for me. I suggest you read the threads on a few roms and you'll see what the XDA users think of them.
Activation code. If you want to use marketplace ( apps etc) you'll need an activation code from MS. There are some "other" market place style options but to take full advantage of MS WP7 you'll need to activate it. There's a couple of methods for doing this ( read the threads) I contacted my local MS support and got one within an hour or so via email.
Oh and in general it is a good idea to flash an original WM6.5 first to get your phone back to stock and confirmed working. A "clean" formatted SD card wont do any harm either.
good luck

also try look this tutorial
https://rapidshare.com/files/2232080081/ROM_install_Tutorial_v1.6.pdf
or http://www.wupload.com/file/2677286812
if you need any radio look in my signature

Using Pdaimatejam 7.9, and is working good. The really drawback is the acess to the SD by the PC

umm ok i think ill also go on Pdaimatejam cuz lots of people sayin that it is good and it have a tut
now about the marketplace and live thing,i didnt understand how to activate it and how to get it to work..can someone explane?

get code calling or chat with Microsoft
here is chat explain

Like any Microsoft product you need an activation code to use it properly.
You can install WP7 ( any of the ROMs) without it and the phone will work you just wont be able to access the official Market place to get apps
It also wont sync ( contacts / calenders )with windows live / hotmail.
WP7 isn't officially supported on the HD2 so when you call or chat with MS helpdesk you should tell them its a HD7 ( which is supported)
Tell them you have just bought the HD7 second hand off ebay or something like that.
I called them and they emailed me the code 1 hour later. Never tried the live chat option but it seems to work for some people.
Once you have a code from them you can use it every time you install / try a ROM
Good luck

7720 to Tango
I have followed Jayce0oi instructions to install Mango 7004 then 7720 to HD2.
Is there a similar step by step to go from here to Tango 8773(?) as the download is in a different format, .rar as opposed to .cab, or does ...CAB-sender work with .rars also?
Jayce says ask XDA.
Apologies for ignorance!

Hey, I have this ROM and highly recommend it: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833 also just follow the tutorial that you can download with the other files.

TheXev please read....WP7 update cabs and custom roms on Verizon Trophy

I was under the impression that we were unable to install the new tango updates while running custom roms? Being a total noob and not knowing any better I may have done just that. Or being a complete noob I could be mistaken :silly: After screwing something up messing with registry files, yes I knew better but I couldn't resist, I did a hard reset on my Verizon Trophy running DFT Freedom ROM V5 for Spark_W with the Mango v3 Radio. Downloaded a few xaps and yep still unlocked so just for fun I ran the software updates and language packs using xboxmod's WP7 Update Cab Sender which completed with no errors. Didn't fix the Internet Sharing issue on this rom but did enable Commercial Mobile Alert System which was not included in this rom; see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1546287&page=2. I am fairly sure these settings appeared before updating the radio to Mango v3. Like I said being a noob I could be completely off track but is there any other way to tell if the updates took?

No, it isn't that these updates won't work, it is that they haven't been recommended for installation (quiet a difference). The reason the driver update was always avoided, was because the WIRELESS driver would be replaced with one that wouldn't enable Internet Sharing (meaning if you installed the older driver updates, your Internet Sharing would either disappear, or simply stop working). Since this new driver enables it, it might not be a bad idea to update to it, since it fixes the random MAC address issue. Also, the recommendation was to not use Zune to update, since it will push out ALL updates.
Using WP7 Update Cab Sender is good for those who know what they are doing, but up until the Spark_W Tango update, we had no official hotspot support. Now that the hotspot support is in the driver, I don't see the issue in pushing the driver update cab (which I recently posted the link to here).
Also, if your running on a network other then Verizon, you might need to change the new default Internet Sharing settings using the info found here. If you have unlimited data go here to get it working.
You've inspired me to go ahead and push the driver update to my primary phone, worst case I can restore my backup if it kills tethering (which it shouldn't).

Looks like the driver update won't take for ansar's Tango rom. I'll need to do some testing to figure out why. Maybe it's about time I did a build of XevRev and released it for our phones. With tethering official supported, so long as I make the support universal in the WIRELESS driver, we'll have fixed tethering support.

I think an XevRev build would be highly anticipated and appreciated!!! I've been jumping through all the available custom roms for the Spark_W just to get a feel for them and trying different things out. I couldn't push ANY of the update cabs to ansars rom. I will try the driver update later with the DFT v5 and get back to you. I thank you sir for your time, your knowledge, and your hard work :good:

No luck pushing the driver update to DFT's rom either so decided to play around with the SolvZ v1 rom from DocMentalZ. Software update cabs installed no problem but still no luck with the drivers. I do like this rom especially the custom theme colors however seems to have the same problem with Internet Sharing as the DFT rom. I can't really see me using tethering it's just one of those things that if it's available I want it!!! Still, rather have the full unlock of a custom rom if I have to choose. Once again, I thank you sir :highfive:

If you pushed the OS cabs, push the updated driver for VZW Trophy as well. If the rom let you push from 8107=>8112=>8779, then you should be able to push the driver.cab after all of that (do a full backup before just in case it breaks something).
DFT v5 might work since its 8107 Mango.. but I think the leaked 8107 DFT is probably a better rom to try updating with.
Also make note of the tethering information in the post and do that if you must. To reach the programming menu, you MUST have a stock like rom installed without unlock.
I keep thinking when I do release XevRev, I'll have to have at LEAST three-five versions of it (one without full unlock but inter-op so you can use Root Tools for unlock and still have programming menu, a Full-Unlock ver 8107, and a Full-Unlock ver 8779, and a Full-Unlock with no preinstalled OEM apps).

Still no luck with OEM cabs on any custom spark_w roms. Quick question a lol off topic...Is Chevron unlock still possible if I flash back to stock?

Chevron unlock is possible, but not recommended. All fully unlocked roms have the interop unlock that chevron provides built in. I am currently working on a rom that might solve almost ALL of our problems... I'm testing the updatability right now to be sure.
All I can say it.. I figured out the source of the programming problems [it's related to XIP unlock and xap deployment] thanks to a huge help from ultrashot! Currently, I have a fully unlocked phone that can program and its updating to 8773 at this very moment (I intentionally built it on 8107 so we could install the newest HTC drivers and get the newest radio on our phones)... but it still needs a xap deployment tool.. since I had to remove all xap deployment from it to make programming work.
I'm going to try and manually deploy Bazaar to the phone in an attempt to still get xap deployment up and running from Dynamics7 manually.
I'll be testing the crap out of this and communicating further with ultrashot.. hopefully a "once and for all" solution can be found now the true problem has been identified.
8773 checked out okay with my Dynamic7's 1.21 port, now to test the new drivers with official internet sharing.
Okay, driver update failed. I'm guessing it fails because it cannot update the HSPLed bootloader.... Might need a custom driver cab that removes the SPL update and just does everything else. :/

Waiting patiently...haha. I'm just having fun playing with all the different roms and apps and reading the forums absorbing as much as I can. Your time and work, and don't forget your patience with us noobs, is greatly appreciated as is ultrashots, Heathcliffs, jaxbots,and well every d*** person that devotes their time and effort here. Sorry if I only threw out a few names but there are so many. Seriously, thank you and can't wait for the new XevRev!!!
