Hey guys, i have read all of the guides and alot on the forums, i am also a member at TX and Da_Gs blackjack site so i have flashed new ROMs to the Blackjack hundreds of times. I feel pretty good about flashing my ATT 8525 with a cooked ROM but, I just want to verify something..........
(1) I should flash to the HardSPL first right? If i follow the guide it looks easy.
(2) I have on my 8525 the 1.54 radio and it works really well in my area, so after the HardSPL then flash the rom then i should still have the 1.54 radio? Is that right? it works just like on the Blackjack....the radio and boot and ROM are all separate installs?
I know some ROMs have all 3 together but the ROM i like, K's WM6.0 FINAL
does not have the SPL or radio.

1) It is very easy....and definalty do it BEFORE anything else
2) the radio version currently on your hermes will stay there yes, unless you flash a ROM which contains a radio image. Nearly ALL the cooked WM6 versions are OS only.
Hey Thanks MrVanx! Thats all i neede to know! I will post afterwards to let ya'll know how it went.
It's pretty simple really once you know...
Run SIM & SID unlock, run Hard SPL v7, then click the RUU Wrapper file and install the required rom!
Easy!
Oh and the guide on Vanx's site is handy too!
Nice to see someone that read forum and wiki, and then ask a question.
hey guys everything went great! I have also installed the Cube to this ROM and it works great but, i really don't see it as being very useful as it is quicker to use the phone as it came. I do like how i can look through the contacts and pie with my fingers instead of the sylus but, thats about it.
I will try as many different ROMs as i can get ahold of and i might even down load one of the kitchens and start to roll my own,LOL! this is really changing what i do with my spare time! I used to hotrod my motorcycle or the computer or even my PSP but this is alot more fun!
Thank You to all the people here and over at TXceaser and Da_Gs web site!
You have really been a great bunch to learn from!

Does anyone know where I can find the original rom for the Touch Dual Us Version? I was trying to update my dual to a the Diamond interface and now my phone is stuck in SPL Tri-Color mode. I tried the Recover HTC Touch from tricolors RUU boot-loader (mtty), but it does not seem to work for the dual. I tried to use the Telstra Rom but is loads at about 3% and then tells me that it is not compatible with my phone... Anyone experienced the sort of issue? Is there a universal "unbricker" of some sort?
Hey man, I have a Neon 300 as well. I've only been able to get one ROM working beyond the factory (which I don't have). The ROM that's worked nearly flawlessy is :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=398180
It would be awesome if more people started cooking for the NEON300, but it doesn't seem to be taking off quickly.
If you happen to find the OEM ROM for the NEON300 let me know. I'd be almost willing to PAY for it at this point.
The only thing I saved from the original ROM was the version numbers at bootup, for reference. Here are those versions:
ROM: 2.21.422.04
ROM Date: 05-06-08
Radio: 1.65.20.19
If anyone can find the ROM above, I'd be willing to click your "PayPal" button. Oh yes, and pay as well.

Interesting radio version. Is that the shipped ROM on your phone or did you download it from somewhere?
That's the stock ROM for the US Touch Dual. I'll try and extract it from mine when I get home tonight.
Thanks for the link to that rom but the link is down... Do you happen to have a copy? Does anyone happen to have a copy? Also, if I come across the original rom I will be sure to post it!!
Someone was kind enough to already extract the rom here-
Based on the versions, it's the one you want. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2258400&postcount=9
Thanks for the link gammaguy but I have a NEON... That link is for a NIKI dump

Its actually a NEON300 ROM dump and just titled incorrectly. Seth2001 and I used it for porting. Seth2001 ported for Neon's and I ported for Niki's.

Did I hear PAY?!? So.. How much?
After days & days of searching over the course of a few months for a stock rom for my Touch Dual US NEON300 with no luck (not to say some cooked roms aren't nice but there is something about being able to put things back to stock if needed eases my anxiety of trying out other roms & unfortunately a lack of RUU from HTC kept me from flashing anything on mine for months so it sat idle in a drawer UNTIL NOW!) I have dumped my stock NEON300 & posted a rebuild:
HTC Touch Dual US NEON300 WWE 2.21.422.04 Stock Rebuild
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3398273#post3398273
It isn't a true stock rom but until HTC gives a rat's #%@ and releases an official RUU version it is probably the closest thing to it available.
Can I hear a "OH YEAH!" lol

If you're interested I can post the kitchen setup I used to rebuild the official NEON ROM awhile back but I never did figure out how to rebuild the radio.
Bill
Sounds good to me. Been a long time since I played with a kitchen and I'd like to get back into the swing of things.
NEON300 Rebuild Kitchen
Howdy All,
Sorry for the SUPER long delay but life has been hectic with a new baby & moving into a new house so getting together the NEON300 kitchen has been from from my mind. On top of that I grabbed a new hard drive & put Win7 on my system a few months back so I had to hook up my old drive to grab stuff off and wow is it a mess! To make matters worse it has been so long since I did the NEON300 rebuild I have a hard time remembering what is what & what I did so I'll either have to post up the ENTIRE dir tree I used (which is 1.2GB or 707MB rar'd because it has all the extracted ROM files which are normally dropped into place in the kitchen plus all the files extracted from those during the rebuild so it's pretty huge. There are about 600M of what I recall are folders I renamed during testing that could probably be removed but tough for me to know without doing a rebuild myself) *or* I need to take the time to essentially rebuild it all again from scratch so I know what is needed & the procedure. And of course I sold my last NEON a few months back so I have no way of testing either.
Anyhow I'll dig through what I have & see if I can make heads or tails of it but in the meantime if someone seriously wants what I have let me know & I'll figure something out. That'll teach me for not taking notes at the time. :|

ok couple vexing things happening here.
my device was using 90% memory no matter what I deleted. was running oem spl 1.1 and wm6 from HTC for a long time.
so after reading here, I upgraded to spl 1.2 and radio 1.58 with no problems THANKS XDA!
memory usage has gone way down. HOW can this BE? havent changed the WM6 just the radio and spl.
anyway the new issue is what ROM to choose! i do need pocket excel and word that comes with the wm6 on there now. but would also like faster performance if possible. does one rom run the athena faster than another?
so any input would be greatly appreciated.
oh also what is "AP4" and what is the advantages of SPL3.5 ? i wouldnt mind being able to partition the memory into one big section, since I run a 16GB mini sd card. is this possible?
sorry for the noob questions but everyone here was once a noob. everyone. lol
now... if this unit were only transflexive screen
I was never a noob. Seriously.
I suggest Michy's 4.1 for a solid and fast ROM. It also has some pre-installed software that activates the transflexive screen option.
1.2 and 3.5 are flavors of SPL. 3.5 basically gives more of your device's memory to the space where the ROM is. More space gives cooks more room to include more pre-installed software like that cool transflexive screen thing.
AP stands for Athena Project. In order to change from SPL 1.2 to 3.5 you should flash AP4. However, IMHO more recent ROMs like Michy's series have eclipsed AP4 in speed and features.
(Also, I advise you change your "16MB mini sd card" to a "16GB mini sd card" before people start pointing and laughing.)
a permanent non-noob, perfect person to be getting athena advice from!
transflexive is a hardware component, its the type of LCD that reflects but also has backlight. in the sunlight you can still easily see it because of the reflectivity, but at night, the backlight can shine through. you get viewability in both conditions with transflexive LCD technology. i have no idea why PDA's started moving away from having that.
anyway I looked at the ROM list for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518 and could not find a "4.1" rom so i think you mean 6.1 under Michyprima looks like the third and fourth ones WM6.1 Diamond and Full versions. What is the difference between diamond and full editions? Or am I looking at the wrong ones.
as to the storage, I have SPL 1.2 and the program vs storage allocation doesnt seem any different, is there something I need to do?
thanks
Hello and welcome to our forum!
I would suggest to use the ROM on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=380 for your answer to the 1st post. You could find in post 1 and 2 some really good proposals!
As for Michy 6.1 ROM that exists here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=411371 read at the 3rd post you will find a link for the 4.1 version of this ROM, which many believe it's the most stable!
Please be kind to the persons who try to help you...
first, im not sure why I need to be advised to be kind and appreciative, Im known to my friends as both.
I very much appreciate any help I receive, and am teriffically grateful for this site, the roms and mods which take so much time to develop, and for any advice generously given by others.
anyway, back to the topic at ahnd because I am starting to understand, but that only generates more things to ask and discuss.
I just flashed SPL 1.2 to my device. you mentioned flashing AP4 to get SPL3.5 (but that its not much needed now). I saw SPL, Radio, and the ROM (operating system) as three separate software installs. So I guess I will go back and see what "AP4" is, unless its a ROM that includes the SPL?
anyway can it please be explained what Michy 4.1 rom would benefit vs my current WM6 that i got from HTC last year for the 7500?
thanks to all!

Yes welcome,
Michy's 4.1 rom was one of those roms that everything worked well on, it had only a few tiny bugs in it, the same as a stock rom. On his SPL 3.5 4.1 rom, opera plays most flash web sites (youtube, Guba, ect) without any work. It also has many other programs that you wonder how you managed without on it. Your stock rom is just the basics, so you buy the other software!! If you do go go on to SPL 3.5, make sure you start with AP 4.0 as you were told first. then go on to another rom. If you wnt to go back to SPL 1.2 you MUST use the downgrade first. If you forget or try to short cut it will mess up your athena and you will hve to fix it. The best advice I can give you after years on this site is READ THE WIKI
Im not a noob now, but im still lerning. There are some very clever people on here.
Regards
Jay
Hi Jay, thanks man!
I will read the wiki now that Im at work I can do that.
Any chance you could post a link to that 4.1 rom though it's not in the ROM list post that i can find, and a search on "4.1" doesnt yield anything so a Link would be greatly appreciated and I'll load it right away.
Thanks again and yes I'll be getting into the WIKI now. I love the Athena, and cannot believe there really is nothing else with it's features that i can find. At least used ones are coming down in cost, in case I break or lose mine. I rely on it every day for my work and other things.
In fact I just ordered a Ram Mount for mounting it in the car.
The link you want is HERE, I know it says 6.1 but keep going down past all the screen shots and you will get to the links for all of Michy's roms till you see 4.1. try SPL 1.2 first and see if you like it. However if you do then I recomend SPL 3.5 version. They are all worth a try at some time, 6.1 is very swish
WIKI is ace! Its a bible of nearly all known problems you can get with the athena (go down through all the PDA's till you see the athena). Just watch out swapping SPL's, it tends to leave you without WiFi.
ok found it thank you. only now, link dont work!!! arghhhh
I'll try again later perhaps...

Trying that link again got my IE to open dozens of windows, I had to shut down no other method would get it to stop.
Wish that ROM was hosted on rapidshare instead!
And of course this one (different rom but I was willing to try it) was deleted on rapidshare due to no downloads for too long:
Download link SPL1.2: http://rapidshare.de/files/40006763/...MiChY.rar.html

I used this one for months now but just swapped to the SPL 3.5 version and it seems to have the edge. try it for a week or so and see what you think.
I got the 4.1 n there now. like it! finally I have control over the device I paid so much for. and the advanced settings is awesom. so many simple things like now I can make the camera save to the sd card, and numerous other annoyances now gone.
couple issues though, first the voice control seems difficult. not as straight up as voice dial, and the recording process hesitates a lot, and the recorded command seems also to stutter. i'll keep playing with it tho.
i would like to have a battery indicator on the today screen. not sure if tahts possible or I just didnt find it yet.
youtube player finds videos with search, but they wont play, I get some kind of security cookie error.
flash content doesnt play, which it never did but not sure if this new cooked rom will let me get that to work (WHY wont adobe just release a player for WM?)
anyway I'm liking all these new features so thank you for the d/l and the others for the advice.
btw what specifically gives spl3.5 an edge?

Oh no tovarish! You bit on the noob bait!
As the OP rightly commented, transflexive is a property of the screen hardware. No software can change the Athena's screen to transflexive.
So I've got a xv6850 Raphael CDMA through Verizon
Rom version: 1.08.605.4
Rom Date: 03/18/2009
Radio Version: 1.03.09V
I've been travelin the inter-web trying to find a 'Reliable' ROM that will speed up my phone and free up the crappy ram accompanied with the Verizon version of the Touch Pro. I'd also like a touchflo 3d version that has facebook embedded into it, Kitchen, and a pagepool of 8. But without loosing any of the features my phone comes with now. I def want to still use GPS. My problem is that I can't find a ROM (maybe it's just me) that can do all of this. Will i need to download verizon files after i install the rom? I guess my main question is where can i find all of this? Could someone lend a n00b a hand?
Thank you so much for your assistance.
Check out sskusers.net. Scott makes some ROM's that are specific for the VZW TP and has all the latest and greatest stuff.

Ditto....I've been using his as well. I've tried them all (well, just about) and found some that just run out of gas on our memory inhibited Verizon device. SSK's is about the best balance I have found.
If we only had more RAM....life would be good.

I have tried most and keep going back to JD's. The free memory is great. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=73860
Check out SSK for sure, I've flashed about 12 roms in the last 3 weeks and SSK's are by far the most stable and seem to work best on the handicapped VZW TP.
Howdy All,
I had a look for a similair thread but couldnt find one.
I bought my wife a HD2 from MobiCity 6 months back... She straight away was having issues with the phone being slow and going through battery... So she joined up to here and we flashed her phone with a new radio and a few different ROMs until she settled on the "Energy" Rom.
Now she's having issues with it still...
I read that HTC had released a new ROM (http://www.mobilityminded.com/9951/htc-hd2-gets-rom-update-3-14-on-windows-phone-7-launch-day) and it seems like they may have finally fixed some of the initial issues.
So I've downloaded the ROM, and tonight we'll change it over.
But first I'm unsure if the changes we've already made will affect the genuine ROM going on... I got the Rom from (http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1043&news_id=782).
Does the Radio Version affect it?
Sorry for the noob questions, im very new to this.
P.S. great site... keep up the good work...

The only thing you need to do sir is removing your HSPL.
after this you can install the latest stock ROM 3.14, this will brings automatic your radio version to 2.15.50.14
Awesome... was worried it was going to be a drama....
wait... is removing the HSPL hard?

No sir it isn't hard.
Use HSPL2_RUN.exe, run it and select spl version 1.66 that's it.
