I have received requests to customize the 1.72.187 UK ROM for Asian users. As requested, here it is.
This extended ROM is based on the latest UK release of 1.72.187, and was customized for asian users of the XDA II.
All the latest versions of the software in the base ROM are included, minus all O2 UK custom settings and software, however all configuration settings are set to the old Asian extended ROM version 1.60.44.
I also added the latest drivers/software for the Socket Communications SDIO Wifi card and the XDA II Thumb Keyboard which automatically install as a part of the post install tasks.
I had to remove the Java MIDlet Manager included in the base ROM since the size limit of the extended ROM was exceeded, and I also removed the O2 Active UI since it is customized for O2 UK users. I included the installer .CAB file for the MIDlet Manager in the .ZIP file so that it can be installed manually after the ROM upgrade if desired.
CHANGES from the other custom ROM (1.72.181):
1. Based on the UK ROM version 1.72.187
2. No Blackberry support
3. Added the ClearType font fix from ROM version 1.60.44
4. Added the Extended ROM Viewer patch (Extended ROM can now be seen in File Explorer)
I have already tested it on my Xda II and I had no problems with flashing it and I am currently experiencing no issues with it whatsoever.
THe download is available further down in this thread, I removed the old download because it was corrupted.

Would you consider to put in the SRS rotation and key as well?
Also, can you provide a brief guide for how to install the file?
The files you attached is just the nbf file. Also, what's the use for the password?
Thanks again.

When the SRS backporting to the Xda II is at its most stable stage, I will include it in the extended ROM, as of now I feel its still unstable, although I feel that the guys working on it are doing an excellent job (my personal opinion).
To use the file is just 3 steps:
1. Extract the contents of the original UK ROM update (Xda_II_172187_Final.exe) into any directory of your choice with WinZip.
2. Extract the ms_.nbf from the custom ROM I posted into the same directory that you extracted the files from step 1, overwriting the original ms_.nbf.
3. Run the HimaUpgradeUt.exe executable to flash your device.
The password is for users whou would like to further customize the ROM where openning it up requires a password. I only posted the extended ROM since it was the only part of the original ROM that was customized, and posting the entire ROM would just result in a larger download.
Many thanks.
Understood now.
Tried the ROM but have problem with my C-guys wifi card....
Not sure whether it is the wlan software has some conflicts with the C-guys driver, have uninstalled the wlan software and will try the C-guys card again.
where can find the ROM?
Hi,
I tried to register, but the "Confirmation code: picture" appears as RED X.
Can someone show me where can I get this ROM without registering to this forum?
TIA

Thanks for such a great ROM!
I have created a BlackBerry compatible ROM from MiChY's 6.1 rom (1.60 full version), nothing else has changed except the device name (required for BBC). So just flash this ROM from here:
ONLY for SPL 3.5
(Sry, don't have 1.2 to test the rom)
http://www.loginworks.com/files/Athena_SPL3.5_WWE_WM6.1_1.60F-MiChY_bb.rar
BB Connect tested with this ROM:
http://www.loginworks.com/files/bbconnect_wm6_professional_bb_al_4.0.0.97.zip
And apply the attached registry file and you should be ready to use BBC on Athena.
Edit: It seems clicking on reg file does not applies the registry change, you will need to import this registry file or change the registry value for HKLM->System->Versions's key: AKU: from anything to 0.4.2.
Have a nice time ...
Though i have used Exchange accounts before, but the simplicity and ease of setup is un-rivaled in blackberry

what change you have made?
Hi there,
Very simple change is required: Just change the device name from HTC-Athena to HTC-Hermes.
Once we have the .nbh file, we can use any HEX editor to do so, plus the AKU should be .0.4.2 (which needs to be applied to the ROM once installed).
Once again, all credits to you for a wonderful rom. Though have tested it only for 2 days, but seems very nice. Thanks!
shoot!!
[email protected], I have just downgraded to SPL 1.2 and re-flashed with "Ver 1.60 MiChY Full Edition".
Any chance I can modify it without re-flashing it again If you help me out I can then post a SPL 1.2 compatible version ....
BTW: the ROM is really superb !
thank you all

what client and desktop versions of bb are you running?

Nope, I am not aware of a way to make it BB Compliant without reflashing as the process needs to modify the device signature.

Re-flashed with modified ROM and got stuck on "setting loop".
So I decided to go back to 1.60 original...
Can you please relese a step-by-step to modify the ROM?
Not necessary I have re-re-re-re-re-re-re-re-flashed and now it works (the ROM I mean). For some reasons tapping on the regitry file is not doing anything ??
Any idea on how to apply the reg file?
Thank you

WiZaxx, which version of SPL are you using, I have heard that "Settings loop" happen if you try a ROM for 3.5 version on 1.2 version.
I have flashed the same ROM which is uploaded without any issues on my athena with 3.5.
Moreover, nothing has changed in this ROM apart from Device signature ... so I guess if you flash the 1.6 original SPL 3.5 version, you should still be hitting in the "Settings Loop".
For a step by step guide:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...ight=c0rnholio
About REG file, yes it seems not to work if you double click. I will be looking into it, but by the time i come up with a fix, there two options:
1. Import the .reg file.
2. Follow the steps mentioned in the post I mentioned for step by step guide on how to change the AKU in registry from anything to ".0.4.2"
That should do the trick.
I should have mentioned that double click does not works, sorry for that. Will modify the post now.

Hey guys,
I extracted my ROM and was wondering if anyone here was interested in obtaining it. I bet some people need this, so enjoy Next step when i have a bit of time and some concentration, is to learn cooking
I did a dump of my HTC Touch Pro Stock ROM which has the latest ROM Update that HTC Has Released Recently for the Middle East.
Took the RUU_signed from this latest HTC ROM Update: _HTC Touch_Pro_RUU_Raphael_HTC_ARA_2.01.415.3_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship.exe
Information about this stock ROM:
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
CE OS 5.2.19965 (Build 19965.1.2.3)
Multilingual Support Installed. If you flash this your ROM interface will be in Arabic, you can of course manually change the options to make the interface in English but keep Arabic language support on (Reading/Writing) and you can even disable the multilingual altogether.
Uses (MOBiDIV Multilingual Support Version 3.0 Build 416 Gardenia Package Number: 32)
ROM Version: 2.01.415.3 WWE
ROM Date: 02.23.09
Radio Version: 1.11.25.01
Protocol Version: 52.58.25.30U
ExtPkg Version: 2.1.415.2
Before i post the files , i need to ask the experts which files are safe for me to post here. As in, are there any precautions i have to take i means of a certain ROM has an internal serial/activation on a certain software which may cause problems if i share them? Yes, am totally a noob in flashing WinMo phones, we all start somewhere
The stuff i have are as follows:
Part00.raw
Part01.raw
Part02.raw
Part03.raw
Part00.raw
The below are two ROMs since i created the RUU_Signed.nbh using two methods, after checking their hash, they had different ones, so i publish both :
Using instructions from Here - (Using e,b,space,c,a in RaphaelKitchen.CMD)
Result: RUU_Signed.nbh MD5 Hash: 512ea7b4435b923a3cd6a687eec79dcd
Thanks to jcespi2005
Using instructions from Here - (Using e,b,space,c,b in RaphaelKitchen.CMD)
Result: RUU_Signed.nbh MD5 Hash: 6958d00c322a91b4d679509ae4a9a02f
Thanks to Angelusz
ROM Dump Experts, please inform me which files should i publish. (Again i am asking this in case there is some kind of serial numbers/activation codes...etc). I might at any time switch back to this Stock ROM and would like to have stuff work normally
Now, I'll go ahead with HardSPL and try some cooked ROMs from the lovely chefs here in xda ( Soon, I'll join the kitchen ), any suggestion of a Cooked ROM to try out?
Wont ask what is the best ROM since there is no such thing. Basically, what am looking for is the following:
A ROM with the latest updates and Manila installed
A ROM which would allow me to read/write Arabic after i install some cabs i have my hands on right now
Lots of nice tools and programs that most probably we all use
And of course, something better than this junk slow Stock ROM (Speed / Stability)
Any Suggestions? Am considering: PROven ROM WWE 3.1 21042 out of a fast search on XDA.
Thanks to everyone in the community for making XDA such a wonderful knowledge base for all of us to learn from.

Dear Amnya,
did you buy your phone from UAE? if yes, you don't have to go through this hassle. Just use your S/N on HTC site and get the latest ROM. I'm from Egypt, I have the Egypt Arabic ROM which is a Fiasco as the GPS is disabled. I've been waiting for you for a loooonnnngggg time
By the way, about a nice fast ROm, consider also NRGZ28's Energie ROM ver. 2.0 32609. It is great and Arabic works flawlessly.

Hey mate, am glad you found me then Now regarding the phone, yes i got it from the UAE and it had no Arabic Letters Imprinted on the Keyboard (Which is GREAT).
As for your comment marked in red above, i know this, and i actually flashed my mob with that official stock ROM, the point is that i DO NOT want to stay on this stock rom and want to try using Cooked ROMs and maybe even start cooking my own ROMs for this great community.
But before flashing, i thought I'd better backup my current ROM just in case HTC releases an official windows 6.5 upgrade for free or something, or in case my phone dies and i would need to place things back to factory defaults/updates.
You mentioned that you are using "...the Egypt Arabic ROM which is a Fiasco as the GPS is disabled..." i did not quit understand what you meant there. Why is the GPS disabled? :S Is Fiasco a Cooked ROM that doesn't support GPS?
Cheers, and PS: I am still waiting for experts to assure me on what to exactly upload. Cheers

Thank you for your recommendation, checked the ROM details, and i pretty like what i see and since you say that it works with Arabic flawlessly, it makes me love it more Lets see what that Ferrari has to offer
Would you recommend that Microsoft Voice Commander or the standard one? :S What does that MSVC actually differ? i never used this MSVC.
Cheers
GPS is banned in Egypt, therefore the HTC original ROM for Egypt is without GPS drivers.
can you by any chance post the HTC ROM you flashed?
MSVC stands for MicroSoft Voice Command. It simply does what it says, commanding the phone by voice, never tried it and couldn't care less. I would recommend the other one: CSVD
You will like the Ferrari, it is great.

I would i just need to understand if i face any OEM/Licencing or anything of that sort if i do publish it. And a small question, wouldn't it help you if i upload or link you to the update that HTC released recently?
And btw, the flash i dumped is an NBH file, how can i create an executable so i only double click when i need to install it?
I do understand that to flash the nbh file i will use the kitchen tools and cab files, but wouldn't it be best if its a simply executable?
If anyone knows about this thing i would appreciate it
Cheers
If you have the latest Raphael Kitchen then in the tools folder you will find an exec file called RaphaelCustomRUU.exe.
Put this in the same folder as your nbh file and run it. Follow the instructions.
This will put the rom on your device.

Thanks for the valuable info But i was asking on how to create an executable. Not important
Now lets focus on the main stuff Which files should i upload here? in means of my own safety of loosing valuable serials/activations pre-built in the ROM and stuff like that? Or is that irrelevant in WinMo?

Read this especially points 6 and 7
http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=440
Serials and activations are only there if you put them there. If you can't remove them then don't include these particular programs. If you look in the SYS or OEM parts of the rom in the kitchen you will see most programs used and if you know what you are doing you can edit or remove them.

I did not understand the reason for you pointing out i read those two points :S Who said i want to post wares? I was asking about something else. i have a Stock ROM after a hard reset, i did the Flash Dump and got the original ROM off of the phone, then created the new ROM file using those files i extracted from my phone in addition to the RUU file from an HTC ROM.
That produced a file, i am asking, is it safe to upload that file for the public to benefit from? OR would it harm me somehow, one way or another? For example, in the stock rom the Multilingual support by Mobidiv is installed and it never asks for any activation, which from my understanding means that it comes registered with the phone or with the rom, something like that. Now wouldn't me posting that dump here bad for me mobidiv and so on? Or its a safe thing to do?
Thank you

As I understand it CIT MOBIdiv have an agreement with HTC so that for this program you are probably ok to include it. Google Mobidiv and see what is said.
The reason I gave you that reference is that I didn't know which programs you were refering to and if they had been paid for seperately from your phone and therefore would be ware.

My first flashing went great and the ROM is wonderful too, what a lucky night
Cheers
Amnya, you can direct me to the link of HTC but to download it I need your S/N on the back of the phone behind the battery (unless you already uploaded it somewhere and have the link). If you don't feel confortable to give the S/N away for any reason, please upload the original ROM. Almost all original ROMs from HTC are here somewhere or another in every forum (links of course) without the slightest problem (legally I mean). And there will be no issues also regarding software copyrights.
Glad that you liked the Energie ROM, enjoy....

Hey mate, will post you the link to the document later on tonight, currently i am at work One problem though, Arabic is NOT supported, so what should i install to make it support reading and writing arabic? Actually am only interested in reading
Can someone post a link to the needed software or update? I tried the ARA_Patch.cab that HTC released then drew back after the latest ROM Update, but it did nothing. So any ideas?
Cheers
My answer to your problem
http://www.4shared.com/dir/18171659/bed506eb/Arabic.html
use these files as follows:
- Copy the files in Arabic folder to your phone any where
- Install each file in main memory in the same sequence as numbered
- Do not restart when any one of the files installing prompts you to do so
- Only restart when finishing the last install
- Thank me plenty

Hi Maryland...
Before everyone asks, can you clarify whether or not this is compatible (ie 3G, etc..) with the X10a? I know there will be people asking multiple times, so rather than look later, I might as well save everyone some time.
Or, is it still recommended to wait for an official X10a firmware version of 2.1?
Thanks in advance for your help/advice and great job to everyone on XDA that is staying on top of things. Much appreciated.
UPDATE
Right, since this post is luckily quite visible on the first page, thought I should put down some impressions/info.
FLASHING: it's quite simple, follow the instructions in the first post, including the optional part at the bottom if you're having trouble. I did it on a laptop with XP Pro SP3 32-bit (with jre6u19 I think).
Worth mentioning: at some stage the batch file will come up with "Finish" - it is NOT DONE!! It might take another few minutes, it's only done when it says "Press any key to continue..." , WAIT UNTIL IT DOES SO then press Enter as instructed.
ROOTING: When you root it, you will most likely find that you have to untick/tick USB debugging on the phone a few times to get it working. I used this, only needed SuperOneClickv1.5.1-ShortFuse.zip .
IMPRESSIONS: it is a bit slow at first, but it gets better after half an hour or so. Battery life seems to have improved a LOT, although this can easily be a subjective impression. It's very "swish and pretty". And best of all, Angry Birds works! What more could you want?
OTHERS:
Barnacle worked straight away for me (without having to put in athwlan0), Titanium Backup worked after installing its version of BusyBox.
APPS YOU COULD REMOVE
jerpelea made an easy-ish to use command list for this. Thank him for all his work, or else!
WARNING: you might want to move apps into a Temp/ folder inside /system/app/ just in case instead of removing them completely.. Apps I removed (and everything seems fine), will try to remove others at some stage:
SEMCSetupWizard.apk
playnowback.apk
playnowclient.apk
moxiermail.apk
playnowappinstaller.apk
SEMCTouchPalKoreanQWERTY.apk
PcCompanion.apk (this might be needed, but so far it looks ok)
quadrapop.apk
wisepilot.apk
creatouch.apk
I have a uk customized fw. Can I use this to flash to global then upgrade to 2.1

What are the differences with this and the one Bi4nry posted earlier today?
Two questions
1) Will this wipe everything on phone?
2) Can I able to go back to my country firm ware when its released?
Thank you so much.Been waiting for this all day Thanks to the member who supply the blob_fs to make it happen too.
Yeah would also like to kniw if i flash this on top of Nordic 2.1
Would it delete settings apps etc etc
And is it even worth flashing over the top?
Looks like somebody left their IMEI in the log .

If i'm right now in 1.6 (x10a) can i directly flash my phone to 2.1 with thoses files or do I have to do something else ?
( Because i don't understand why old 1.6 Firmware can not be flashed with this at the moment since you had to be in 1.6 to go to 2.1 )
You cannot flash 1.6 FW with this tool, but you can flash 2.1 FW to a 1.6 device.
It seems that this is the first time I start a new thread.
Hi, all. I want to know how to install two versions of one same application at the same time.
As a matter of fact, I want to install Opera Mini 4.2 China Version and Opera Mini 4.2 Internaional Version at the time. But...Since Opera Mini 5 makes it difficult to describe the question, here takes HelloWorld.apk as an example.
Well, there are two versions of the application "HelloWorld": 1.0 and 1.1. (This is just an example)
I have installed HelloWorld 1.0 on my phone, and when I try to install HelloWorld 1.1, the 1.0 version will be replaced. But...I want to have both of them installed on my phone. That is to say, there will be two "HelloWorld" icons in the app drawer.
I use APKTool to extract the com.hello.world.apk into some "text" files, including an AndroidManifest.xml and a lot of *.smali files. In the AndroidManifest.xml, I saw this:
<manifest package="com.hello.world" versionCode="100" versionName="1.0">
I chaged the value "com.hello.world" to "com.goodbye.world". Then I re-build the apk file and transferred it to my phone.
I installed the modified package, it was successfully installed and I see two "HelloWorld" icons in my app drawer!
I try to launch the HelloWorld 1.0, it succeeds.
I try to launch the HelloWorld 1.1, it FCs immediately.
Well, this is my situation. How can I make both of them launch-able in my phone? Is it possible? What should I modify apart from "package" filed in AndroidManifest.xml?
Thanks a lot.

Well I'm not an android programmer but if I'm understanding you correctly you did the following (in the order I'm listing them):
1) Installed helloworld 1.1 (which over-wrote v1.0)
2) Opened the APK for helloworld 1.0 and made the manifest change
3) Installed the modded helloworld 1.0 on your phone
From a programmer point of view (just not with Android), if you followed the above scenario what is happening is HW1.1 installs it's files which are updated versions of the previous one (why else install an update). When you modded the HW1.0 you only changed the name and nothing else.
What is happening is when you go to install the modded version it's overwriting the newer files with the older ones since the phone is assuming the modded app is an entirely new program and allows the process to occur. This is why the modded one works and the 1.1 won't since the files it needs are the wrong version.
The only option of really have is to mod the actual program to look for different filenames, but without the source code to that app, that isn't going to happen.
Basically you need to have version 1.1 use the default files, and with the modded 1.0 you need to tell the software to "look" for the updated filenames (just don't forget to rename the actual files too).
Short of all that, as far as I know your SOL.

Great thanks to your reply. But...
Android uses .apk files to install and run the application. When installing an apk file, the package installer just copys the apk file to /data/app directory and "register" the program in the system. The apk itself will not be "extracted" or anything else. That is to say, an apk file can be installed, and also can be run.
On the other hand, the apk will generate some files in /data/data directory when running. I am considering that it was these file that made the modded version FCs. I will try to look into these files to see will this works...
English is my second language, hoping that I did not made many grammar misktaks...
+1 on this topic. It's been a year and a half since the last reply and I've done a bit of searching online to find no answers. I anyone have some feedback on this? I'd ultimately like to use this to install two Google voice applications. I actually have an app from a blacked out version with a different icon. But if I install it it will overwrite the original Google voice app

I'd also like to know if that's possible. Even if it were possible, and an updated version of helloworld is relaeased (Say, HelloWorld v1.2), which version would it replace? Would it replace the (original) HelloWorld 1.1 or the (modded)HelloWorld 1.0?
Yes. Titanium backup. Profiles. These are the keywords.

It would replace the only legitimate version found, the unmodded one. The point of modding the APK is to make Android see it as a completely different app, and not think of one as an update to the other.

Hi
I would also like to do this for Google earth app I want to have both version 7.1.3 and 8.0.1 because the earlier version has more features but the latest looks more beautiful so I read the instructions from that link but it is way too complicated for a noob user like me plus judging from the last message it seems it hasn't been resolved so isn't there an app or xposed mod that does this automatically ?
