Hello, I am in the market for the XDA phone and from what I gathered, all the XDA's are the same except for ROMS. I am currently using a Treo 270 (ugh!) with T-Mobile and would like to upgrade. Here are my questions:
1. Can I buy any XDA (1900MHz) on eBay and flash it for T-Mobile service? For example, I perfer AT&T silver phone over the gold tone T-Mobile's PPC phone.
2. Which ROM upgrade do you recommend? I would like latest and greatest but stability for me is much more important? Should I move to PPC2003 ROM?
Any help is GREATLY appreciated and I have been reading many of the previous helpful posts. Thanks!

I have done exactly as you suggest. I was an ATTWS customer with existing ATT XDA. It takes a couple of steps... I:
1. Backed up my existing ROM on an SD card
2. Cooked a version 3 ROM on Jeff's Kitchen with no included software, I just did it to unlock the phone. (worked)
3. Cooked a 4.00.11 ENG ROM with all the goodies I wanted.
4. Popped in my T-Mobile SIM
5. Created GPRS connection settings for both ATTWS and T-Mobile
I am sooooo happy I can't stand it. Except for some conflict with "Battery Pack" software utility, I have found 4.00.11 to be rock solid, and I can now easily switch from ATT to T-Mo on a whim. (If you can call the physical wrestling with the SIM in an XDA easy). I am still running the most recent ATT radio stack with no problems on T-Mobile. (A.20.10)
BTW, I used the .exe method of flashing my PDA for both steps 2 and 3 via my USB cradle. No problems.
Thanks Mad Max for all the helpful tips!
Is XDA-Dev tools all I need to backup and reflash?
Thanks a billion! I am so excited!
Not sure which question you're asking:
a. Do you need XDA-dev tools to be able to create and restore the image on the SD; or
b. Do you need XDA-dev tools to be able to take the saved image and move it off the SD onto your computer for safekeeping.
If (a), then no, the built-in bootloader function of the XDA has the ability to write ROM inage backups to/from an SD card, but note that doing this overwrites any data on the card.
If (b), I'm the wrong guy to ask. Now that my original ROM image is on that SD, the SD is sitting at home on my desk, I never took the time to write that data onto my PC because I don't need the card right now.
Please remember that there is a slight risk that you will incapacitate your XDA. If you corrupt the ROM to the extent that it cannot bring up a serial connection to your PC AND the bootloader becomes corrupted as well, you may have a handsome coaster for your coffee table. I've never had any problem (and most here haven't) but please understand there is a slight risk.
Thanks again, Mad Max
Mad Max, I read in another post that you are using the stock AT&T's A20 stack, any reason why you didn't move on to T-Mobile's stack?
I am now waiting for my new AT&T Siemens SX56 that I purchased from ebay. Is there anything I need to do with an AT&T phone or can I simply put in my T-Mobile's sim card?
Many thanks!

When I go back and forth between SIMs, it works, so I thought "why mess with a good thing?" but really it's more just laziness on my part. GSM and GPRS seem to work just fine on both carriers, and the only side effect seems to be that while on T-Mobile, my signal meter reads lower than it ought to when I compare it to another t-mobile phone at the same location. I do plan to drop a new T-Mobile RSU phone, I'm curious if anyone knows of an easy way to do that by .exe, since I don't have an SD card reader or serial cable handy. (Again, at the cost for either, I don't have a good excuse for not having both.)

No, just have to unlock the phone (per my previous post on this thread) which I did by temporarily installing the kitchen's 3.17 ROM, and either stick with 3.17 or rev up to 4.00.11 ENG (my recommendation). The only settings you have to put in that aren't already in the SIM are the GPRS setttings for T-Mobile, which I can post if you need them.
For quick ref, kitchen is at
http://cuba.calyx.nl/~jsummers/ROMkitchen/
MadMax, I can't thank you enough. I 'cooked' up a 3.17 rom with no autoconfig data, no software except XDAunlock and made this as an .exe install file.
Please correct me if I am wrong... I am assuming this is all I need to flash the rom with the unlock program.

That's pretty much it... The EXE you have is the full installer, not just the ROM image. If you open that EXE with WinZIP (I'm old fashioned, I just do it myself rather than running it) you'll see all the goodies--the ROM image, and various install programs. Extract the whole archive to a folder, then in that folder run start.bat. It's all on auto pilot from there, it's really amazing how easy the XDA gang and Jeff have made all this.
When it's done, (make sure the XDA screen says it's complete!) remove the XDA from the cradle, and do a HARD reset. When it comes up, it will say that a locked SIM was detected right away. Click the OK to unlock, and you are done with 3.17. Right back in the cradle, and repeat the whole thing with the desired ROM image.
I've had great results using the EXE method. Others here will probably advise towards SD flashing, but I've had no problems. All teh caveats apply though, so be carefull not to lett either device's power or the connection get interrupted.
MadMax, things are looking GREAT. I got my unit this morning and I immediately unlocked the unit as you instructed. I then decided to move on to 4.0.16 since I am using T-Mobile. Everything works great but my RSU is at 4.12. I am trying to upgrade to A20 or whatever T-Mobile's latest RSU is. Constant GPRS is neat, but reception is more important to me.
I just ran back from CompUSA and purchased a 256 SD card. I'm now lost and can't find step-by-step instructions on RSU updates. Can you point me to the right direction? TIA.
jklny
Nevermind, I got it working! I found a posting from mdavidm. I needed to move 4 files over to the device and run the stack upgrade manually. Worked like a charm! Thanks again.
Now, I am curious if I can upgrade from A.20.10 to T-mobile's latest stack. I was thinking if reception would be better if I use T-Mobile's. Any suggestions/ideas? Thanks!

Guys- I took my phone to be unlocked from a wee shop in Edinburgh and they failed, leaving the XDA useless. I beleive the software version i had on it prevented unlocking. (i had downloaded upgraded software and radio pack off the 02 website about 2 months ago)
Do any of you know what I can do- I need to get it up and working again and then put a vodofone sim card in it..
many thanks in advance from a frustrated scotsman..
Can you explain what you mean by "leaving the xda useless"?
Hi- it wouldn't boot up, however since my first messagem the operating system is back! It still leaves the problem of how to unlock it...Any ideas
Thanks -Stew
Which radio stack are you using?
You can try downloading xdaunlock.exe, copy it your xda, this file has to be dragged/dropped to xda or cut/pasted to xda, do NOT execute the file on the pc, it needs executing on xda, just explore your xda to the place you copied the file to and double tap. The other option is to use a serial cable and download the xda manipulator program and run that on your pc with your xda in bootloader mode while connected by serial cable. The other option is to download the developers rom 1.2, that will unlock your phone automatically. You would be advised to backup your existing rom to sd card then you can go back to that if you decide not to keep the 1.2 rom. The sd backup will also come in handy if you cook a rom in the kitchen and decide you dont want it, I keep a 64 meg sd card for just that purpose.
I also suggest you have a good look around the forum and become aware of problems that may arise and solutions that may be available, there is a mine of information here thanks to the guys that run the forum and their dedication to the task.
Thank you for taking the time to reply
How do I find out which radio stack i am using?
Re the radio stack-I downloaded an upgraded version from the 02 website a few months ago if that gives you a clue..
thanks again

Go to start/settings/system/device information.
Cheers- as you can tell I am not as technically gifted as some of you guys but I learn quick.
Will check out what version it is when I get home and let you know.

Hi
I've updated my XDA2 to 2.02 thanks to the information supplied by DCS (as always excellent work Mr!), but I've since realised that I would perhaps be better off with a 2.06 with O2 customisations - even if I then wish to remove the less desirable aspects.
Can someone please point out the easiest way of doing this? It's worth noting I have to change the O2 to CDL whenever I update.
Cheers
Anthony
The best idea would be to combine 2.02 with 2.06, to do this you will need a copy of the extended ROM you used when you upgraded to 2.02. Download 2.06 , put it in a directory and delete the radio.nbf file and any ms.nbf(extended ROM). Copy your extended ROM from the 2.02 upgrade along with the radio.nbf that was there as well.
To combine the 2 roms, you need to make sure you have got any data you want from your phone, then master reset it and and set up your owner details, device name, and most importantly, any bluetooth pairings. Using ActiveSync, do a full backup of your phone in this state. Next you need to reflash your phne by running the 2.06 upgrade (you will need to use dcs's operatorupdate.bat to change the operator code to cdl first). When the flash is complete, hard reset it again and then enter your user details and device name, but not bluetooth this time. Put your phone in the cradle and restore your phone with the backup you made. You will then have the best of both worlds- a decent 2.06 cleartype etc along with BT handsfree profile from 2.02!
I hope this is clear, there are similar (and probably better!) instructions here, but they have been designed for an Australian XDA.

Thanks for that findus...
I'm curious though, why is it important to do the bluetooth stuff before applying 2.06? Is there something wrong with simply rerunning the upgrade with the 2.06 files?
Not sure if it's worth the extra hassle (would anyone consider it a "hassle"?) and also am I really missing that much with 2.02 compared to .06?
Cheers
Anthony
The reason for installing bluetooth devices whilst on 2.02t and backing up is because 2.06 does not support handsfree profile, only headset so it is up to you which one you need, I personally found 2.02 better than 2.06 but i like having them combined now, so I suppose it is all down to whether you can be bothered!! 2.02 is fine though, I had it for weeks and it was very stable.
Fin
I decided to take the plunge and updated it as per the instructions above.
One thing though, which applications included in the ext rom are really that necessary? From what I can see some of them aren't and also as I've got rid of a couple I now can't get it to show in landscape mode. When I go to the Screen option it has lost the options for Portrait / Landscape Left / Right.
Any ideas?
Cheers

Thanks to Sin. My iMate couldn't be any faster The new ROM installed referred hereinbefore is xtreamly stable, fast and bug-free (YET) :wink:
Pal, the OS suits my xda super well.
At least the hide n' seek BT icon on Today screen is no more there.
For all those hesitating I say go ahead and upgrade...

Defintely- cheers Sin!
Ok gang i have been lurking around for a while and im finally deciding to upgrade my phone. for my short background, i have done this on my old magician (once) and a friends t-mobile magician (once) as well, but now i want all the new gadgets and speed for my hermes. for the record i am currently a Cingular/ATT customer living in Orlando, FL where there is great 3G coverage.
here is what i have:
herm100
ipl 1.01
spl 1.06
ROM version 1.34.502.1
ROM date 09/21/06
Radio version 1.16.00.00
Protocol version 32.53.70.18.01H (i am not sure what this one means though...)
here is what i am planning to do (in the exact order of which i will run them so if my order isnt right please tell me):
HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a
Hard-SPL-V7.rar package
HERM_Radinly_1.43.00.00_CustomRUU.rar (unless anyone thinks the 46 or 47 version would be better for ATT in my area)
Hermes_WM6_WWE_vp3G_v2.0_ATT.rar
CVSD_1.2_061226.rar
HomePlugIn_1.6.0.0.rar
vp3G_v2.0_CommManager.rar *edit* (yes i know the comm manager must be closed for this one too) *edit*
vp3G_v2.0_StreamingMedia_PATCH.rar
XM_Radio.rar (may install this later)
MobiTV .rar (may install this later)
TCPMP_v0.72RC1.exe
ac3.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
flac.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
ffmpeg.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
vorbislq.plugin.0.72RC1.rar
and that should be it i hope!!!! also, i think i remember needing a codec to play xvids through tcpmp but i cannot find anything that i have archived on my computer... so if anyone has that please let me know.
if there are any other precautionary measures that i can take PLEASE let me know. i 'somewhat' understand how the hardspl works, is that the only protection i have? should i clear up my phones memory? i doubt there is anything like a 'scandisk' or anything for the type of memory the phone uses but i just want to be 1000000% sure that this flash will be successful thats all. thanks guys up front for a great community and any help is GREATLY appreciated.
yeah, do HardSPLv7 first... Then do the Unlocker... then do whatever you want.

No do the unlocker first...it loads HardSPL (1.40.oli) onto the device....it will downgrade the SPL if you run it second.
Once that is done...load HardSPLv7 onto it.
Then follow the list you said.
great!! i just wanted to verify that my particular build (i know there are herm100, 200 and 300 now) would fit the bill.
few more quick q's...
if i ever wish to, can this phone be put back to factory settings and be completely untraceable, or am i making permanent changes to the spl?
also as far as i am aware, overclocking is not available (hopefully i can use the word 'yet' here ) for my device is this correct?
lastly- without outlook (on my computer), is there any way to back up my contacts. not just the sim card, i mean email addresses and everything? i am sure there are some encrypted files somewhere on the device that i can just manually copy and paste when i am done.
and after that, ill be flashing it all over and post the results.. and thanks both of you for the quick responses!!! i will do the unlocker first, thanks for deterring me from that hiccup

OK.....i will answer these qs but you do need to read the wiki so you DEFINATLY understand the different aspects of the hermes...
The device can be downgraded to normal (like factory settings)....see the guides in my sig for more info.
Overclocking....dont even bother...the restriction is in the ROM....later ROMs use the cpu much better.
If you want to backup contacts etc...either use PIMBackup (search this forum for it) or get an exchange account which will sync contacts/emails/tasks etc..
the IPL is still 1.01, can this be upgraded or does it not make a difference?
ok i am trying to run Hard-SPL-V7...
when i run the file 'RUUWrapper' on my mobile device i get this message:
"File or assembly nme 'System, Version 2.0.0.0, Culture=neutral, PublicKeyToken=B77A5C561934E089,' or one of its dependancies, was not found."
I just installed microsoft.net framework 2.0
from what the previous screens told me, the SIM and CID unlock was successful and my current IPL is 1.4 from using the programs in 'HTC_Hermes_SIM_CID_Unlock_v3a.rar'
please help!!!!!
**edit**
Sorry, that is when i try to run it from the phone itself. when i run it on the computer it says 'The application failed to initialize properly (0xc0000135). Click on OK to terminate the application.

You need to install ALL the latest .net framework packages from Microsoft on your PC, the file is meant to run on your pc NOT your hermes.
you guys are the best and so is this site!!!
last question...
i downloaded the 'vp3G's WM6 v2.0' ROM and added the patch for 'vp3G_v2.0_StreamingMedia_PATCH.cab ' but i still cannot watch videos on youtube or any site of the likes? the page gives me an error saying 'Hello, you either have Javascript turned off or an old version of Macromedia's Flash Player. Get the latest Flash player.'
i cannot find java or macromedia that works on windows mobile... what can i use??? i am finding some stuff on javaME but nothing i can comprehend or download...
lol, when I tried to do the Unlocker first it temp-bricked my phone.. I had to reflash old rom, then run hardspl then the unlocker in that order.
Use google and search for 'Flash Player for Pocket PC'
it will give you the link to Adobe Flash Player
hey all!!
i'm from Venezuela and i recently purchased a HTC PPC6800 (cdma) and my carrier here didn't activate the GPS...
I'm not new to windows mobile but i'm totally new to ROM upgrading...
the only thing im affraid of is not being able to make calls after the upgrade... since i'm from Venezuela i can't use Sprint configuration...
so here's my question:
WHAT DO I HAVE TO BAKCUP FROM THE FILE "EPST" SO I CAN SET IT UP AFTER THE UPGRADE???
i'll be very much appreciated if any of the Senior members could help me here...

Nelson, there is a few month old utility that can extract an HTC ROM from the device directly to the SDcard. If you have the ROM (*.nbh) of your phone from your carrier then you could use a utility such as DogGuys Kitchen maker to decompile the ROM. What you usually only need is contained in the ..OEM\OPERATORS directory.
If you look at how existing kitchens (and a FAQ on kitchens) are set-up, you'll see that each carrier tends to have its own operators OEM that the end-users selects when building their ROM. Following those templates you can create your own with the files specific to your carrier, and add that to an existing kitchen. Once done, then you can then build your own ROM. Though, with that done, of course the language files for your new OS ROM will be english rather than spanish.
The other possible option is to provide your carrier's OS ROM to the forum here and one of us may have the chance to decompile the necessary files and provide a set-up for you.
...sorry, I'm travelling right now and don't have the chance to go into greater detail or updated links.
whoa! I think u went way over his (and my) head with that one...
I don't think he's looking to cook his own rom, he just wants to install one....and wants to know what info he needs to document before so he can reinstall it properly afterwards..
wow thanks Keystone...
although Dillsnik is right... i read the FAQ on kitchens an it doesn´t sound complicated... but i´m not sure if i´m capable of doing this...
however i will be reading more about this kitchens and cooking my own rom because it sounds very interesting that i can put only the programs i want (wich by the way it´s exactly what i´m looking for), so i´ll be witing here soon asking more questions...
by the way, the main propuse of this thread is still open... and the quistion is in the first post:
WHAT DO I HAVE TO BAKCUP FROM THE FILE "EPST" SO I CAN SET IT UP AFTER THE UPGRADE???
thanks for the quick response!!!!
guys, installing the official Sprint rom before your rom of choice allows your carrier settings to be maintained, so there is no need to back up any of that information. at WORST, you'll have to get your a-key reset, which is a quick call to verizon(or your carrier?). i've only had to do this once, and i've flashed my phone probably 25 times.
install olipro 2.4
run Official Sprint RUU
at 'Tap Here to Set Up Your Device' install your rom of choice
run carrier cab (if its not in the kitchen)
if you try to make a call and receive a 'your phone cannot be authenticated' message, call tech support and dont let them tell you anything, just say 'i had to do a hard reset and now my phone cant authenticate i need a new a-key please.' theyll tell you that its not necessary and will try to do it automatically, then if they cant theyll give you a new a-key and tell you how to apply it.
EDIT: there is no way to view your a-key, which is why you are unable to back it up and why backing up EPST settings is pointless for you.

Well, I think Keystone is trying to give you a safeguard. You likely have a ROM that nobody else has a copy of here, and I'd suggest you dump a backup copy of it before you do anything to your device, just in case.

We cant give a definite answer to that because we do not know how your carrier operates.
In theory, the actual Sprint update should backup your programming and restore it for you. I do understand you wanting to have a backup plan, but in that case, I would suggest you record everything.
I am sure some of you are going to read this and shake your head but I need to know what is the whole purpose of updating your ROM on your phone. I currently have a US Cellular PPC 6800 and US Cellular never has anything on their site for new and cool things for their phones. I would like to update the phone to Windows 6.1 not for any particular reason just to say I did it. Is their certain features on this phone that I am missing out on because I have a stock ROM? By upgrading my ROM what features will I be able to get or do?
Thanks for your answers.
speed, speed, more speed, memory tweaks, battery tweaks
Really. I like that. I will start reading threads and getting a better understanding of this whole ROM upgrade. Any particular ROM that someone can suggest so I can read more on it. Anyone have any good words of wisdom on things to do or avoid?
what do you like in your roms? with programs? or barebones?
See that is what I need to learn yet. The differences in the ROM's. But I would have to say I like programs.
then r4r reloaded is the way to go by scrosler or bitserve. to unlock use nuespl
I see that nueSPL-2.47 is the latest version and I assume that would be the version I would use. it says "DO NOT USE with a NON GPS RADIO (2.xx). Only use with GPS RADIOS (3.xx). A version check will be added soon." How can I verify this?
What is the actual purpose of the nueSPL?
I don't mind getting my hands dirty and doing some reading but I am very new to the whole world of upgrading my phone. The fear is if I do something wrong then I have a very expensive piece of junk. I have worked on UNIX machines for the last 15 years so if this was a computer no problems but like I said earlier I know nothing about phones.
Thanks for your help
have you decided on a rom? kitchen or RUU file? let me know which one, then, ill help you unlock and install your rom
I am still researching the best one, or the one I think I would like to try. Thanks for your help and I will get back to you when I think I fully understand.
ok, this is what I believe to be true. a ROM and RUU are pretty much the same and a kitchen allows you to pick and choose which apps you want to install. What I am looking for is a way to allow me to have more features for the phone (ie. turn on GPS and upgrade to WM6.1) but yet also have some of the same programs I use all the time or be able to install the programs I use ( Office, Opera, Calendar, ) Things like that. Since you have way more knowledge on this then I do, with what I mentioned what would you suggest?

You will also need an updated radio, I recommend 3.42.40 or 3.42.50.
You have to do SPL first, then radio, then rom.

ill help you with the installation because its quite simple
once you get it unlock
rename your rom (ruu_signed.nbh) to TITAimg.nbh
copy TITAimg.nbh to storage card (using whatever activesync or card reader)
put phone in tri-color screen (in case you dont know it's power+camera+reset hold for 2 seconds)
