Too little too late
NEON300
Had I read this before blowing out the OEM ROM I'd have tried to dump it first.
*sigh*
Contacted HTC, who indicate they are not providing any sort of OEM ROM to revert to factory specs. Disappointing but not surprising I suppose.
It'd be nice to have an OEM ROM on hand however.

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

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.
What do I do with the .raw files???

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.

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. :|

I am sure this has been posted but I have not found it. I hate my current ROM version for my sprint touch pro and want to change it. I’m wanting to try the proven rom 2.1 but am hesitant because I can not find the OEM rom for my phone. Plus I am not 100% positive that the proven rom 2.1 will work for my phone since it’s a cdma touch pro. On the wiki page for my phone it only has question marks for a link to the OEM rom. Is there a place I can download the OEM rom in case the provenRom 2.1 does not work right? Also, my phone is the CDMA version raph800. Please help because I would like to at least format the phone back to original like it was when I bought it. It would be great if I can find another rom that is better.
Thanks!
Everything you need to know about flashing cooked roms on the HTC TP is here:http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=68&sort=voteavg&order=desc&daysprune=-1. Also be aware that you need to HardSPL (unlock) your TP before you go to flash it. The direct link to the OEM roms is here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42741. Here is a poll in a thread of different roms and what they rank: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=52651. I personaly like the Juggalo ROM. It can be found here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=49341&highlight=Juggalo, but it's all about personal preference.

before you flash your phone, it is really easy to do but you have to make sure that you follow directions.
Thanks for the information I will go read up on it more.
Hello everyone,
most recently I have updated my Hero to the new ROM supplied by the fellows at HTC (the 2.73... I think). Then I remembered that on my HTC S710 I used to have a rom that came from here. So, I took a look. I have a couple of questions. Oh, let me also tell you that I have rooted my phone (I think, with Instant Root).
So these are my questions:
What do you think is the best rom available?
And why? What are its advantages to a 'normal' HTC Rom?
As a beginner, I can look over this forum for hours (I did!) but still miss out on this answer!
there is no answer to this question, that's why.
It's like asking which is better, up or down?
Everyone will prefer a different ROM for different reasons. get your device flashed to the new recovery image and then you can try all the ROMS and decide for yourself what the 'best' one is.
Personally i stick with the generic ROMs and haven't used the modaco custom ROMs yet as i am happy with the way the device works and not in need of all the hacks that other people want as i rarely use them.
you may be different.
try them all and decide for yourself.
Hm. Yes, I like the way you are thinking - and heck, it is the second time you've given me a great reply! I'll go out and tinker with the world, and more specific: with ROMs! Although I have no idea what flashing my device to a new recovery image means, I do remember having to do something similar with my S710. And I am sure I will find an explanation here! Who knows, pherhaps in a short while, I will answer my own questions!
There aren't many customised ROMs for the Hero yet, partly because the source code isn't available yet from HTC, so the ones that do exist are based on versions of the HTC ROMs.
Use Flashrec and install the awesome modified cyanogen recovery image, then you can flash one of the ROMs. I chose the stock UK ROM pre-rooted, from MoDaCo's site (not the MoDaCo customised ROM though).
It's convenient because it is pretty much the stock experience, except it's pre-rooted which makes some other things possible.

Hey, I upgraded from a S710 to a Hero as well. I'm very happy with having done that as the Hero is such a better phone!
Anyway. Flashing a new recovery image is one one of these 'tinkering' things you/we have to get used to when playing with ROMs. Essentially the recovery image is a very basic control on the phone that you can reboot into, from where you can update the ROM or do total system backups. You can read about how to do this in MoDaCo's custom ROM thread in the android development section. Flashing a new recovery image and new ROM isn't too hard really; took me at most a couple of hours.
Hi All,
Is there a way to back up the ROM/firmware on the phone before upgrading?
Thanks.
but why?
you do know that your rom is not uniqe it's 100% the same thing as any other rom with the same brand and same version nr
if you don't like the rom you try out you can just flash it with the same brand / version rom you got and you're back to square one
otherwise check out the wiki for more backup info
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Himalaya
The reason why I want to back up my original ROM/XDA installation is because after reading a lot of information regarding ROMs, they all seem to be customised and bloated with stuff I don't want/need.
Ideally, I just want to be able to upgrade the OS, and not have to worry about any tweaks or other programs someone has put into their ROM.
Thanks for the link, I've had a look. I was hoping that someone would already have a ROM but as you have said, a lot of customisation by the operators.
all roms here and in the wiki I linked to are not cooked the official ones like the one you already use are available too
since 2006 I´m using Custom ROMs from this Site
meanwhile i´m not flasing only my own Mobiles ,
I was never dissapointed!
....and I think you will not Missing ANYTHING from your Original ROM
well,except you have the Time to Drink a Cup of Coffee ....while waiting
for Response of the Original Branded ROM
The only thing worthy for backup..are your own Files !!
Hi Guys,
I would like to ask you a question.
I just got the lastest updated from viewsonic for my gtbab. This upgrade includes some improvements such as : support for mouse and keyboard usb,french and spanish language , full flash support...
So at this point.. I am wondering...is still a good idea to install a custom rom?
If so, could you please point out what real advantages I can get once installed a custom rom?
It's important for me if it is worth to do it. So I need your real expertise in the subject.
Thanks
ralex76,
It really just depends on what meets your needs.
The current stock ROM -- 1.2.4349 -- is way improved from the old software we got
back last November. But it still does not have Market and some of the little fixes
the devs have come up with here.
I would note that roebeet already has posted that he will not be too long in posting
a new version of his TwoTapsX alternate ROM based on the new update. I am sure
he will build Market and fixes into it just like he has all his ROMs in the past (though
I can't speak for him). So that will make it a pretty close alternative to stock with
everything in it.
Then, there's Vegan, Gingerbread, Calkulin and a whole host of other ROMs with a
wide variety of looks and features.
The choice is yours based on (1) what you like and want, and (2) how much risk
to you want to take in learning to flash ROMs (and if needed troubleshoot, etc.)
I tell all new folks to go slow, read hugely here, notice what mistakes everyone
else is making so you don't make them yourself -- and have fun!!!
Rev
I think you just need to search around and look at the benefits of each ROM and compare it to your tablet. We don't know how and for what you are using your tab, so it is up to you if a ROM is more suitable for your situaion.
I think if you are fine with the stock ROM and don't see anything that you would want differently, don't bother flashing something else.
Also, make sure to look at Roebeets post regarding the newest OTA update!
