question
i'm trying to change the language. i have a wwe hp ipaq rw6815, that off course is english (world wide english). i want to change it to the dutch rom. but, when i try to flash the hp rom update (the nld rom), i get a message telling me that the rom is not correct (needing off course a wwe rom). is there a patched hpRUU.exe floating around which lets me update to a nld (dutch) rom? maybe it is in one of the cooked roms? if so, please point me to the direction. i found a link for the patched file i need, but the rapidshare link is not valid anymore...
another question, i've got bootloader 1.05. i keep reading that i need to downgrade, is there a pressing need to do so? or to put it differently, should i now downgrade to 1.01 to overcome any future problems if flashing goes wrong in the future? wlan is working by the way in my current original hp wm5rom (wwe) with bl 1.05

Hello...
After many posts, i'm not sure on what to do to change my ROM..
I've got from Vodafone Portugal this tytn with:
Portuguese
ROM: 1.18.260.2
Date: 07/22/06
Radio: 1.03.03.10
Protocol: 32.34.7010.01H
ExtRom: 1.18.260.105
I want to change it to English to try another Rom, cause i suspect that this ROM (Portuguese) it's incomplete, and not very good.
On the FTP i've downloaded the:
I-Mate shipped Version (WWE - English), with the installation file inside, and the process to install is very easy (just follow the indications on screen).
The Portguese ROM, doesn't got the instalation file, and inside of it, there are 3 files part001.raw, part002.raw, part003.raw..
My Question are:
Should i change to I-mate Jasjam ROM? and if i wall to rollback to the portuguese ROm...How? Can any Guru, help with a CLEAR and SIMPLE Guide/Thread/Post..
I've had a Magician, a SE P910 ...and for now i'm not very happy with the Tytn.. (Poor WLAN; Bluetooth issues,
Apreeciate your replies..and please do not forget, that here is a newbie!
thks

basically if you flash it with the imate rom you cannot go back to the portuguese rom. The portuguese rom you've downloaded is a dumped rom, the imate is a shipped complete update.

According to the Wiki, the latest shipped WWE unbranded rom is 1.18.255.106, and my phone has the .108, so I just uploaded the upgrade package for that ROM (which I got from the support site (one of two here in Finland)) to the upload section of the ftp, in case someone wants it.
This version is for the "Finland and the Baltics" area, and the phone itself has the Scandinavian keyboard layout.
- Pud.0
Thanks for the shipped rom, it is exactly the same ROM version 1.18.255.3 and the same radio version 1.03.03.10, the only change is on the shipped Extended ROM version from 1.18.255.106 to 1.18.255.108.

All roms are 'branded', also the HTC TyTN rom is branded by HTC.
Acording to the info *now* on the wiki (it will change on the future), the newest ROM is Cingular 1.34.502.1, which is dated 2006-09-21. This ROM has radio version 1.16.00.00, but the i-mate ROM dated 2006-09-08 has a newer radio version 1.20.31.10 which has been extracted so you can flash it separately if you want it on your device. The latest AKU build for the Hermes is on Cingular's ROM 1.31.502.1 which shows OS Build 14989.2.6.0, this means this is an AKU 2.6 while all the other available ROMs have AKU 2.3.
To remove the operator branding and have an 'unbranded' rom you just need to softreset before the ExtROM is installed after the device is hard-reseted.
You can install Cingular's 1.34 or 1.31 ROM (depending if you prefere AKU 2.3 or AKU 2.6) with I-mate 1.20 radio and HTC 1.18.255.106 ExtROM which will add HTC's tytn branding to your phone. This should be "the latest" rom now.

I successfully downgraded, CID unlocked and then upgraded to swap from Swedish to English, this worked like a CHARM!!
BUT!! The keyboard hacks does NOT seem to work,, heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!
@Pof's quote below
"To remove the operator branding and have an 'unbranded' rom you just need to softreset before the ExtROM is installed after the device is hard-reseted."
is this mean -
that i need to do first is perform the Soft reset after i have completed or successful flash a ROM from the WIKI shiped ROM list,
then make the unhide ExtRom, then remove the ExtRom operator brand, from the Extended Rom folder, then install the "unbranded" ExtRom (execute the unbrand CAB file), then the last step is do the Hard reset.
please advice.

I used the german AKU3.3 ROM and it showed 'Upgrade from V4.0.0.0 to V3.3.0.0'.
Maybe you have used an old AKU2.x ROM to downgrade?
And... try downgrading in bootloader mode (hold tape button while soft-reset until colored bars are shown, but you need different active-sync drivers for bootloader mode)
downgade problem
I succed to downdrade to germab t-mobile rom but i need a wwe rom ,i'm not familiar with german language,and the uk roms just don,t work .update error.
Once you upgraded to AKU 3.3 you cant go back to AKU2. The only thing that could help is flashing the prophet rom but it can be dangerous. Search the prophet section if you want to do it.
Hi vlodeck
I upgraded already to aku3, but i would like to upgrade to wm6
do you know a good way to do so ?
downgrading to aku2 does not work - as you said!
regards
use
BootLoader.exe anywhere (ïîìîåìó) Forum
hmm ... didn´t find a description what to do, but tried to downgrade back to orginal aku2 in bootloader mode:
ERROR [296] : UPGRADE ONLY

Hi,
My first post here! I wanted some advice please. I have an HTC Touch Dual (carrier-unbranded and unlocked) which is using the English language. It is currently running WM 6.0 but I want to upgrade it to WM 6.1.
When I go to HTC's support site and type in the phone's serial number, it only gives me access to the PTG (portuguese) ROM, not the WWE (english) version.
I have downloaded the WWE version from a link in these forums (file name: RUU_Nike_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.1_Radio_NikeMR_1.65.28.25_signed_Ship.exe) but I want to know if I can flash my phone OK bearing in mind I don't know the original locale of the device? Can I flash my supposedly portuguese phone with a WWE ROM?
Is there a way of backing-up my current ROM in case flashing goes wrong?
Please, any advice would be great. Thanks
Probably yuor is a portoghese phone with WWE rom, owewer Flash a new hardspl 1.22 and use THIS newest rom (the last one)!

The ROM version you mention is for South-East Asia, WWE (world wide English).
To flash something different than your "native" ROM, you must use HSPL (or a Goldcard, for that matter, but that´s a bit more complicated).
Once you´ve got HSPL on your device, you can flash whatever ROM you want and which is good for your hardware specifications. There are a few Portuguese ROMs available - either stock or custom ROM.
Please check the stickies of the ROM thread for the how-to, and select the ROM according to your needs, you´ll find links in the very same thread, too.
You can find Portuguese custom ROMs from Dutty or sternas, both of them follow a "close to stock ROM" philosophy.
Thx! I will give a look!
but roms in PT-BR (Brasil) ??
Thx for help!
EDIT...
I've done with this LINK with no changes on SPL.
