Hi all,
I'm new here, I've just buy a Xda Neo (like qtek s200) from Germany, this is brand from O2.
I want to change S.O. to WM6 possibly to Italian Language.
I've read the upgrade guide, all ok, now I've an idea on how to work.
The question is on wich ROM must use...
How I can choose? What I must check first to download a rom?
Thanks to all.

It depends all on what you want. All roms here in this section of the forum may be usable for you. The best idea is to read a bit in every thread to see which advantages and which tools are in that rom. Then you can decide what is important for you.
A good rom to start with - but this is only my very personal opinion!!! - is the italian flavour of gullums Coffie rom...test it, if you like and read carefully how to do everything! Welcome to Prophet mobile 6

Hi,
thanks a lot for your reply. But for hardware revision, G3, G4, ecc, there is not differences? I can download any rom and test it?
g3 is very different from g4, never confuse them or your phone will not work if you flashed the wrong ROM

Yes, you can...but be careful when you are flashing: you have to use an appropriate flashing tool (ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe or ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe, apply to newer roms). Just keep an eye on that
One more advice: If you decide to use Cloudyfas (really really great) Prophet ShadoW 2.0 TE, you should flash Radio ROM 2.19.xx first (you can find it hereftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/Prophet/Prophet-roms/Radio_ROMs/).
Otherwise you may have battery drain or bluetooth issues...
So, have fun!
Thanks!
How to check the version?

when you reboot your device you can see the SPL version (and some other info) in red numbers in the upper left corner. If this ends with .000 or .0000 you have G3, if it is .001 or .0001 it is G4. But you can find infos like that easily in this forum, just search a bit around...

first i want to excuse me for my bad english
ok since 1week i have htc hermes tytn and i'm very, very satisfied with it. but i saw, that my rom is old and slow (1.18.255.3 07/22/06 with 1.03.03.10 radio and 1.18.255.106 extrom). i saw already the 1.35.255.2 rom, but i'm confused, because it's for south africa.... i live in Bulgaria and i'm not sure, will the device run, after the flash? problems?
i want you to explain or give me links to understand how to flash the rom. i don't know what the bootloader ist (maybe something for the startup of the device ) and the CID unlocker.... please help me, this is my first WM phone (i had before symbian)
plese tell me step by step, how to flash the rom without problems...
i'll be very, very grateful!!!
10x!
p.s. i can't understand why the avi files played so badly (stutters). my old phone (symbian) played them great and now... i hope, that the new rom will fix this

i recommend you to read the wiki first as it has all the info you need to start with. you'll find the answers to most of the questions you asked here. you can also search for the threads on that rom from south africa and the audio issues you mentioned.

A ROM upgrade may change the registary etc and restoring applications from a previous ROM is not recommended. However you can purchase 3rd party applications to backup files etc IE Sprite Backup there are a couple of others mentioned here in the forums.
As mentioned earlier Welcome Aboard!
10x, sorry but i have one more question
i want to unlock extrom (i have unlocked the past rom) but now i can't. i tryed all registry hacks and i can't unlock it. its unhidden, but not unlocked.
10x!
OK now before U start cursing me, please hear me out first.
I have a HTC TyTN in German, and I can make squad out of it cause I don't understand this language. (it was a gift btw)
Now I have gone trough the manuals and trough wiki but for a total beginner like my self a lot of this stuff is confusing. So here is my plead:
Can anyone put in a small manual how to convert this German speaking HTC TyTN in to nice and understandable English one
Now when I do the OK+POWER+Reset stuff this is what shows up on the screen:
HERM200
IPL 1.00
SPL 1.06
The Phone Info on the other side shows this mambo jumbo:
ROM-version: 1.18.257.2
ROM-datum: 07/22/06
Funkempfangerversion: 1.03.03.10 (told U is in German)
Protokoll-version: 32.34.7010.01H
ExtROM-version: 1.18.257.8003
Now keep in mind this is the only place that I have found that has this kind of info so go easy on me.
Thank U kindly for any given help!

First of all you will want to Sim/CID unlock your phone.
That is here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
Then flash HardSPL, to help make sure you dont brick your phone.

Now, you can flash yourself a custom rom, or a shipped rom.

A nice list of active cooked roms:

Out of the cooked roms I like CRC's the best, I would go for 11.2 if you need 100% stability, or 12.8 normal if you don't mind a faster but "beta" rom, not that I have ever found his roms to be buggy.
PDACornerPro.V19's is also popular (Would recommend going for "RBSN" if you chose his)
And MRH's are more "loaded" roms cooked off CRC's.

Hey, there is not much in common with Polaris. Touch 3G (Jade) is almost the same device. If any, you should try that one I guess.

The Jade / Iolite SPL's are Similar but won't work.
Imagine changing your PC's BIOS to match another similar one. The SPL is the bootloader.

I am up for that too
Seems that there isn't any guru with this device to make a Hard-SPL for us.
Maybe we need to ask to members as Olipro to help on this, cause I think that we will stuck with the official wm rom for a long time.
Problem is not too many people suck in bought this device. Compared this phone (forum) to Jade, it is sure no comparison. For now, just have to wait. . .
Alright folks, Touch Cruise 2 SIM Unlocker sorted, enjoy the usual boilerplate text:
1) contributing forum members & Elite Team donators... Request a free unlock with your IMEI & email. - if you have an account that has a) existed for a good few months and b) you actually contribute to the site (technical wizardy, or general helpfulness - CONSISTENT AND REGULAR POSTING), then just drop me a message and it's yours, if you don't meet both a) and b) then don't bother - having an account that you rarely posted from is NOT in the least bit interesting.
2) everyone else (new accounts/unregistered/sod all posts, this means you): [size=+2]Get SIM unlocked Here[/size]

Hi, Oli & Nex,
First, thanks for your great work to making these HardSPL and unlockers, without them the Windows phone will be much less attractive.
At the time when my Kaiser is broken, my friend send me a Touch Cruise 09 from China. It is a special edition of Iolite custumized for China Unicom,officially called Dopod T4288. From the specs I found its major difference with the HTC T4242 model is that it does not support WiFi. Later on I flashed your hardspl on it and found it works great on flashing ROMs. But I got some trouble on using some ROMs, for example, for the official WWE ROM version 1.11.706.1, the ROM is flashed smoothly and bootup with no problem. But it can not pass by the customization process. It stuck at about 60%of progress bar on the customization screen after after already aligned screen.
My question is: Is this from the hardware variaty or is CID related?
Thanks again for your contributions.

wow, very interesting. not sure why that would be... maybe some driver issue. you'll need to cook a rom based on original stock ROM for Dopod T4288. to get stock ROM, see ROM update, if there is none yet, dump one from a stock phone.
did you ever solve that?
Well Cmonex, Sorry for the late reply.
Later on I found that I can use most of the custom ROMs here without sticking on the customization screen. Although the WiFi never works or shows up.But I don't use WiFi so much hence it does not matter.
Up to now I can not convince myself to start cooking a ROM. I know it's not difficult to cook a rom but it's not so easy to cook a perfect ROM. Just I can not sit in front of a computer hours after hours. Now that we have so many chefs here, I'd glad to use and test their ROMs.
I did dumped the ChinaUniCom stock ROM before flashing the first ROM, but it's after already flashed your HardSPL. The link of the dumped ROM is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5014258&postcount=7
[Etit: Now it's already made into an ruusigned.nbh ROM, from the raw files of China Unicom stock ROM version 1.13.706.2, for the Dopod T4288 variant model of HTC Iolite, simplified Chinese language, the download link is together with the raw files in the above link.]
So if you or any chef here have interest o look into the ROM, please. That ROM is dated end of April, maybe the latest stock ROM up to now and contains some special small apps. Please do tell me if anybody want to translate something from there, since it's CHS ROM.

Hoi Hans, I'm gonna try to help you, but it's important for me to make sure which device you have, because there are a lot look a like's but it's just another phone, to make sure which device you own just take a look under your battery and tell me if you have a nike100 or another version.
The second thing I need to know, does your phone have a simlock.
Greetz,
It's a NIKI100 and is not simlocked

Hola hans, any news on your plans? I just "revived" my old nike today after beeing in a drawer for years, and I must say, it´s been a full success and it only took me less than an hour to do so. Now I even have WinMo 6.5.x and "sense-like" tabs
