I've just found my old phone whilst cleaning out my house and was hoping to sell this for a few pounds. However, it currently has an old custom ROM and, therefore, I was hoping to flash a stock ROM over it so a shop would accept it. I've looked through the forum and links and they seem to be dead.
I know it's somewhat of a longshot but would be great if anyone still has a copy!
Google will always be your friend

I was looking over the internet yesterday and I found CLEAN english rom wm6.5 for Jack...At least that's what one chinese guy told me on a forum (chinese):
So maybe thing will move forward a lil' bit for us, Jack users.
Download:
IN TXT (since I'm a newbie-url lock)
I bet lots of you is still waiting for this.
I have it running...It's nice...although it has few glitches....lil chinese here and there...but beside that it really handy and CLEAN
I'm not an expert on this sort of thing, nor do I pretend to be one (although not from a lack of understanding, simply a lack of knowledge.) I gave it a shot. It seemed like it lags a little bit more than the standard Samsung/AT&T ROM. There were several things I liked about it including the new interfaces and much improved task manager and file explorer. There's a little bit too much Chinese in it for me (I tried to do a few tweeks but many of the registry/system files are in Chinese)
Hopefully someone with a bit more knowledge/experience can help to make this a more user friendly ROM.
Yeah. I figured to compare this chinese rom with the original (treat chinese as a base model) and figure out which stuff to throw away from original...
And maybe do the other way around and figure out which stuff can be added to original.
But taht's just be...newbie talk.
cheers
Here is my 2 cents...
Maybe I shouldn't have bought these phones... I got 2 for a penny each. I ugraded to a Tilt 2 instantly.... My wife is still on the Jack.
It is God awful of a ROM loadaout for what it is... it's got alot under the hood for it's form factor and can perform nicely with the right tweaks and interface.
Sadly, The interest in this project is not at all dissimilar to Samsungs interest in Winmo as a whole. This is undoubtedly why we do not see the released ROMs from Sammy like we do with HTC.
HTC seems to know that if the public can enhance the device... They will buy the device. Samsungs lock and subsequent turnabout away from Microsoft will leave many users of this device in the dust and looking to ditch it quick. I did.
@ mykail or anyone who can help...:
Were you able to find a clean ROM for this phone?
I would love to upgrade to WM 6.5, but my device is unlocked, so the ATT option is not the best option for me (though it exists).
I have spent several days looking for it, but you've been longer than me, i just got the phone a week ago.
I appreciate any help in this issue.
I changed phones. I'm running HTC now on Android.
About the Jack. Haven't been searching for clean rom since November. Just few seconds ago popped in to our chinese friends and they are still developing. From what I saw it appears they are running Jack @ Win7.

Help with ROM issues
Hi Guys,
At first i must say sorry for re-open this post. there is a lot of months since the last response.
I bought a samsung sgh-i637 in LatinAmerica, playing on the internet i used the AT&T ROM for upgrading to Windows Mobile 6.5 but as you know that rom has a lot of programas of AT&T and also they change the major of keys (keypad) functionability... and at the end the phone still stay locked for AT&T.
I want to know if is possible get a ROM without the AT&T programs and also that it unlock my phone for use with any phone operator.
Thanks a lot!
Well here's one for the more techy guy's out there, looks as if i've 'bricked' my HD. I've been playing with roms to find a preferable version other than the stock orange one i had. I paid the 'unlock' fee after reading the forums an lo and behold had some fun downloading and trying various cooked roms and playing with android. However after trying many and finding topix about the best for me, my phone is not making calls anymore. after lots of investigation and rom upgrades and restores to originals, somehow i've manged to zero the imei. does anyone know if it can be put right. i have the original number to put back - hey it's in the back of the phone after all. if not i have some excellent condition spare parts for HD's ;-)
So, I'm looking for a Windows Phone 7 device to have a play around with, not looking to spend too much as it's just going to be a toy really, and I came across this Trophy going cheap on ebay.
The phone doesn't boot at the moment, and the seller says "It either will turn on to the white screen with the htc logo on and wont go any further or you can turn it on to the bootloader and connect it to the pc, but thats it".
Does anyone know if it can be resurrected? I'm quite techy but I'm not a dev, as long as I have instructions I'm quite comfortable flashing roms and such, I used to have a HTC Hero that I rooted and flashed custom roms etc to, so I'm used to all that stuff. I've attached some pictures of the screen, if anyone can tell me whether it's bricked or not, and if it can be fixed (and possibly point me toward some instructions on what to do!) I would appreciate it.
I personally wouldn't buy it since you don't know exactly what happened with it. But it looks to me like maybe the GoldCard method would work...
...even though you might not have enough information to retrieve from the phone to create an actual GoldCard, you might be able to flash it with the original ROM using an Y-cable and an external card reader.
What is his asking price?
It's on an auction ending in 2 days, no bids yet so its still on the opening price of £20. I reckon it's worth a go as long as it doesn't go above £30
Of course, as long as it hasn't been opened I could just send it to HTC for a warranty repair, but where's the fun in that?
You could ask ansar on our forums if he helps you
So guys, as the title says, my phone arrived straight from china (aliexpress) with no bloatware whatsoever. Being a loooong time lurker of these forums i realised it may be a bit of a unicorn, because as far as i am aware, it came like this straight from LeEco. I believe so because the seller told me when I ordered it that they are in contact with LeEco, and asked whether i would like Play Store to be added by them. Even the Launcher is free of the Live button as the photos will show. Now I know I'm a bit late to the party with the 17s being outdated as it is, but lemme tell you that I was dumbfounded as to why you were all hating on EUI so much, because what I had on hands was actually great, being bloat free . Wasnt until after i flashed another stock rom did ai get the picture.
Anyhow, I like to be very meticulous about my androids, so I made a full TWRP backup (w/included stock recovery even) before I started messing with it, and now I'm thinking whether some of you might be interested for me to post the backup, to check it out? It has like 80+ languages to choose from, and came without the OTA update option.
It's only one of many custom ROMs.
Would you mind uploading launcher somewhere? I like EUI, but hate that LIVE button.. I'm on 20s USA and launcher version is same, 6.0.1
Custom Launchers like Nova are better than stock. High customisable, good looking, speed working.
@marik, I could be wrong of course, but I think there is more to this, because if it were custom, i couldnt update it via stock recovery and update.zip method, but I can/already have out of curiosity. And either way, I didnt find anything like it posted online (and I've tried atleast a dozen roms so far myself, including the customs like grossoshops etc.)
@Presterin, sure thing, and contrary to popular opinion, I also like the EUI a lot, but I would have HATED it if I had my initial contact with it loaded with all those LeEco apps and crap
1. Do you have 18s for LeEco Pro 3 x720? If not, your ROM is not actual,
2. Debloated ROMs like T.A.R.S. exist,
* 3. When I ordered my 6/64, in SpeMall(.com)'s ROM was multilangue and support OTA. But, is it working? IDK.
@marik1 like I said, I could be wrong
@Presterin here u go
Men... Please do post it. I would be really grateful
Yea don't seem to see it?
You don't mind were is it?
So my Dad was gonna throw this phone out. It won't charge.
I looked into it and it's a relatively easy fix and the part + new battery is going to set me back about $14
I'm thinking about giving it to my son but first I'm wondering if there's still stable roms around...
It's Verizon US version updated to Lollipop. I know TWRP/safestrap are a no go but pretty sure flashfire works.
I'm really just asking to see if anyone can comment on stability and performance. And seeing if maybe there's a rom not listed here like Dirty Unicorns? (some devs don't post on xda)
Of course if there's something I'm missing/any issues please let me know.
Thanks!

With a locked bootloader, you're pretty much stuck with the stock ROM.
