hi got mine yesterday
first of i would make an image

although ive asked the author to make my raws into a bootable flash as i wasnt confident so we should have a chance of going back to vodafone stock is possible
then you need to consider hardspl
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410150
then a rom i really would recommend
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426099
all these answers come from this forum i would say do a bit of reading
also check out the wiki very useful
hth
thanks for the info...have you done yours yet?
yes the stock voda rom lasted 3 hours as i needed to charge it then i dumped the image hard spl then flahsed it and spent a little time setting the rom how i like it with a few extra programs
ive had a kaiser for a year now and work on a dialy basis with these phones
I had a quick look at the links...i dont even know what an "SPL" is....
is there anywhere that literally says..do this, then do that, then do this etc?
do you have the black and white HTC ROM now then, are there any quirks?
sorry to sound dumb but i have been waiting ages for this handset and dont want to brick it due to my lack of experience with flashing ROMS on phones.
thanks very much so far...
im running romeos as the link i sent u
its very good
there are instructions in the spl link i sent u on how to spl your device its quite easy:
Instructions:
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty folder. make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.)
2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!
3) run RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe,
4) follow steps in the RUU, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar.
5) it should go to black screen now.
6) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
7) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 1.90.OliNex.

Dear Darren,
What exactly is/are your question(s)?
You must be a bit more specific...
Cheers.
P.S. PM me with you MSN Messenger and i will help you online.
P.SII. PM stands for Private Message
thanks for the posts to date.
As for specifics i am looking for the default HTC ROM (no amendments or additional features etc) as the carrier's (Vodafone UK) one is "not pretty"
I dont know what an SPL or RRU is so was looking for a step by step instruction on how i do this including backing up my existing ROM in case i need to return to it for warranty etc.
The last post was very informative, and i will have a look at this but i was basically looking for any help i could get.
thanks
Darren.

the link i gave u for dumping an image:
also contatins this link this looks like the stock rom ?
i have passed the raw files over to the jcespi2005 who very kindly is constructing them on this thread so we will have a back up of the voda stock rom
all you need to do is to read the hard spl link in this forum
this should be more than enough to get u going
can i ask why the stock rom? why not somethign better?
I ditched the Vodafone ROM sharpish @ the weekend.. Black & White and tons better now
Lots of very usefull information here, i will review and take the decision as to whether will do this or not. As for the question about the stock rom, this was purely the way it looked v's the vodafone rom. do the other roms have additional functionality then?
My Touch Pro should be here before the weekend from Vodafone. From looking around the forum this seems to be the latest stock HTC rom.

Hi,
I am using the Vodafone UK ROM on my new Touch Pro and have installed .NET CF3.5 and Advanced Config 3.3 which has some handy performance tweaks.
Using Regedit I changed the registry as below...
HKEY Current User\software\microsoft\activesync
\Body truncation = 20480 decimal
(This prevents "TRUNCATED TEXT" in my contact notes)
Due to warranty issues and the time involved, I don’t want to flash a new ROM unless there are significant improvements. With the above tweaks I find my device runs well. What is it about the UK Vodafone ROM that you think is lousy?
Regards,
J
Hi i am interested as well to see if i can go to the original htc rom.first of all i tried installing the latest update from the htc site but my serial number wouldnt allow me to(i have vodafone branded)tried the update that a friend downloaded for his htc tp but it didnt work either.I am new at this and i dont know lots of things about flashing.utube application is a minus and maybe other stuff that i will find further down the road. if i do the above will i be able to update the rom (the one that the htc site gives) even if i use a friends of mine in the future?should i just sell this one and get a proper htc branded.thanks
There is no need to get rid of a branded phone and get a HTC branded one. they are the same phone in most cases. You just need to change the ROM. This is actualy easy to do. It sounds hard and there are alot of warnings, but dont worry, if you follow the instructions it is very simple. I have done it recently on a UK voda phone. The speed increase of the phone is amazing.
I would hartly recommend doing it.
@ Justin0679, the Voda rom was ok, but the speed of a new rom is a GREAT improvment. Makes it as responsive a a IPhone.
Any noobs have any questions I am more than happy to answer, as believe it or not, I was noe once, Well 2 weeks ago..........
Will i be able after i replace the vodafone rom with the htc to get the updates from the htc site(even if i have to wait for my friend to download it for his phone first).what are the steps?

.. but I really dislike the o2 Rom.
I must admit, I'm only informed of how-to flash the device (with HardSPL and such stuff) but I have absolute no idea of which Rom I should take to get as near as possible to the original HTC Rom.
I would also accept cooked? (I guess, that's the terminus for it) Roms, but only if there aren't modified heavy in terms of programs and such stuff.
Oh ... and it should be avaible in German (if possible).
I'm thankful for every hint and tip I recieve.
Thank you very much.

Yeah .. already found this after posting.
Stupid Post .
Still, any suggestion - if the BETA doesn't work well - for a "original" or "as close to" HTC Rom?
Only use that ROM if you are German! There are a number of ROMs (including the stock HTC ROMs).
Have a look in the wiki - there are links to all the ROMs and each is discussed at great length in its own thread. If you are going to HardSPL you device (and thus probably invalidate the warranty anyway), I can't see why you would want to go for a stock ROM!!
Enjoy.
That's true?
Damn. Is there at least any method to get the original TouchFlo "Skin" rather then the o2 one? Actually that's the only thing really bugging me

Just have a look at the TF3d Themes thread either in the Raph forum or in the Diamond forum. You will need to install Diamond TF3d Config (do a search on the forums) to change the theme. You don't need to install HardSPL for that.

you can use software or themes. NOT as far as i know radios or roms
Hi
Sorry - but something of a newbie question...
I've Security Unlocked my phone (yehee!) inc HardSPL. Now I have the urge to do something more exciting with it... but haven't a clue where to start!
Can I just load a new ROM on, or do I need to load other things to go with it?
Can anyone recommend a good ROM to try first? Ideally something with a quite clean interface (perhaps 'Diamond'ish?). Or maybe list one or two options?
Are there any versions which are known to be stable, as opposed to bang up to date, but not fully tested - or are they all works in progress?
DO I need to update my radio / HardSPL 1.15? Currently R1.58.16.27 / G25.61.30.03H
Many thanks to anyone who take the trouble to answer.
You can start playing with HardSpl 1.22, then continue with the radio version, and, finally, try a couple of ROM'S i.e. LUZY is very nice, smooth, and includes Manilla 2D.
Recomendations
I would highly recommend upgrading your Hard SPL to 1.22 as most new ROMs require this and upgrade your radio also (I am using 1.71.09.01, find it superb). I can also recommend Nemanjlo's WM6.5 Rom I used to flash a ROM a week but since having this one I love it. There is a thread dedicated to plugins and extras for customizing WM6.5 check the "WM6.5 Tips and Tricks" Thread a guy called TWolf has done some amazing flash stuff with 6.5. There are also links to some amazing widgets in that thread: Weather, Facebook, You Tube and Twitter to name a few
Hope This Helps
Hi Guys
Many thanks for the suggestions. Exactly what I was hoping for and very nice to get clear, straight answers.

Do you use the latest version? Or is there an earlier 'stable' version you've stuck with?
Also, he seems to have 4 versions! Standard and Lite for 2G and 3G. Which do you recommend?
What is the difference between the 2G and 3G? If it makes a difference, I'm with UK T-Mob and have an account with inclusive data.

I think the difference between 3G and 2G is the video calling (Which I never use) I have the latest standard version of the ROM with the 3G dialer (Skinned) it is fast and stable. My "Today screen" is a project being run by the titanium crew (Check the "Tips and Tricks Thread") to make it look like WM7
Backup
This may be a bit patronising but I would recommend using "PIMBackup" (Search for PIMbackup using the forum to download) and backup all of your info to your Memory card. This will cover things like Contacts, Text and Emails.
If you have any bought or newly installed programes on your device make sure you have all the activation codes available and CAB files on your storage card or PC. As when you flash a ROM it is like a hard reset, everything will be wiped and can be a bit of a pain reinstalling everything if you do not have it to hand.
I have a folder on my storage card called CABS and I simply go down the list after a ROM flash reinstalling everything.

I managed to wipe everything when I first loaded HardSPL. Fortunately, I have most of the cabs and much of the data was reinstalled by ActiveSync. But I suspect I lost some things I'd prefer to have kept.

Thanks again. I'm away for a couple of weeks now - but will try these out when I get back.
Are there any manilla looking roms, or nice looking roms that still have touchcube? I just dont like the manilla actions and want to keep the touchcube. Is there anything?
is there a wiki or thread that says which roms can be used on 20 key Neons?
Hi all,
With Custom ROMs imminently upon us i think it would be a good idea to create a repository for all Network Official ROMs. (ie/ not those released by HTC but those that have come pre-installed on devices sold by Networks)
This is so anyone of us who decides to flash their device with whatever ROM can go back to the ROM their device was supplied with in case of any warranty issues.
There are many many different networks spread across the world so maybe start with UK networks?
Vodafone, T-Mobile, O2 etc
has anyone got these dumped?
surely someone has dumped some operator roms already?
i know we cant flash until hspl is working but it would be good to have all operator roms in one location.
To sad this inniciative didn´t get any results. It would have been great though. Maybe because a lot of us don´t know how to dump/back-up our initial ROMs
Especially now with the new 3.14.xxx ROMS and 3.03.xxx SPL

Thats what I also thought initially, but had to find out how different Spain really is HTC says it´s not their problem (until now with all other inquiries I had they´ve been quite cooperative) and my carrier, well, Telefonica/Movistar... half the time the people you talk to don´t even know what you´re talking about, and answering e-mails is obviously a no go from them But I´ll try again

Hi, I would have loved to do that before I flashed to the Artemis ROMS, but since I had no clue on how to do it Guess I just asked the wrong questions, like how to "back-up" my ROM... But I´m still interested, I might find someone still with the original carrier ROM, so I could have a back-up. Specially since there is no solution yet for SPL 3.xxx. From what I read so far, it´s "dumping" (don´t know how to do that yet), then "cooking" againg the same ROM and voila, ready is the ROM See, I just wanted in case I try a newer ROM based on the 3.14.xxx and afterwards revert back... IF I should have to send my device to the HTC Service (carrier - warranty) now, all I have to do is to remove my HSPL and flash the new 3.14.xxx carrier rom (I have one)...
to be honest, its not worth looking till you need to, its reasonably straightforward, but its no 10 minute job either.
use step one of THIS process. You will have to change the numbers for your device. That gives you RAW files, which can be reconstructed in a kitchen like ervius. BUT, it isn't a true stock rom, you will need HSPL to flash it.
As far as I am aware, we can't fake stock roms. They get leaked, not built. (anyone? am i wrong?)
Thank you SamSamuel, I somehow thought it wouldn´t be that easy to "fake" a stock-carrier-ROM. Well, I´ll just wait and see when HSPL 3.03xxx comes out - wont be that long I suppose BTW, loved your idea of "watermarking"
I just purchased a 512Leo Hd2, unbranded SPL 1.42. Now this site has been an amazing resource. I have been thinking about flashing a new ROM but I'm not sure about it yet. To tell you the truth I don't really mind the stock HTC ROM. However, I'm dying to run Android 2.2, problem being is that my radio version is 2.06.51.07 now from what I understand that version won't allow me to run Android. And I've tried it, Linux starts to load and either it freezes or the screen slowly blacks out. I've tried the formatting and it doesn't work. So my ? is this. After running HSPL, also don't know which one to run 1,2 or 3?, will the stock ROM still be there? IN which case I can then go ahead ad flash a radio version that will allow me to run Android? Or do I have to find a stock ROM from somewhere and load that? Can I save the ROM version that is on my phone now then reload it? How do I do that? If someone c an fill these blanks in for me I'd appreciate it!
Cheers

Flashing HSPL will do absolutely nothing to your ROM. It simply unlocks the phones SPL and allows the flashing of non-branded or unofficial ROMs.
More about HSPL 1&2 and HSPL 3
Which one you need depends on your device. I think HSPL3 might work for all but to be honest I've never bothered to look at it since I have HSPL2 and it works for me.

Android works perfectly for me on my stock ROM with radio 2.12.50 For some people, the stock ROM does not work so the short answer is: "it depends". I say try a new radio ROM, leave the stock ROM alone and see if it works. If not, then look into flashing a custom ROM also. As for saving your current ROM, that's a bit more tricky, and more trouble than it's worth since you can find pretty much all the stock roms in the rom development threads such as THIS one.
If you have any other questions or need more clarification ask away (or PM me).
One more thing about flashing ROMS... Use caution and ask questions if you are unsure about something. Make sure you read and understand the threads dedicated to flashing in the links provided... Otherwise, you will have an expensive paper weight on your hands.

Hi!
I've been reading all your posts and i have a similar problem with my Leo.
I'm new at this so i am affraid to, like you said, have an "expensive paper weight".
I tried running the "FLASHAHOLIC RUU.." via USB but it keeps hanging while running task29. I then tried the official HTC web site but i doesnt work either.
I baght my device on amazon so it comes with WWE and o want to change it to Portuguese specially because of some keybord letters like "ç" for example.
Can you please give me a step by step guide so i can instal a new rom?
Thanks in advance.

I may have missed something but i followed the steps to install gingerblur and well, it bricked my Telstra atrix that I only got yesterday
Luckily i made a backup of the telstra firmware as soon as i got it so its all good. Just got no idea on how to install CF. The telstra atrix i'm assuming is the same as the AT&T atrix because they are both "Motorola Atrix MB860" but i could be missing something
Uh oh, radio's and fingerprint reader aren't working
Oh, and it also wont turn itself off!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
You guys should probably be following instructions for the Bell Atrix. Bell users have been successful at flashing the telstra firmware and then installing grey/ginger blur and so I'd start there.
Hope it helps
DarkRyoushii
PS: OMG Atrix is released in Australia now? I should go find a telstra store and check out the differences, my Atrix that I've had since launch (from AT&T then unlocked) is the only one I've actually used so I'd love to see if the bugs in mine still exist in telstra's hahaha
EDIT: Oh and if u need a briefing. Bootloader Bypass has basically dropped off the radar and turned silent, probably still being worked on in private chats to avoid spam and offtopic posts. 2nd Init works (a different way to install custom ROMs however unable to modify kernel) but there are no ROMs developed yet, probably also being worked on in private chats if you are interested check out the freenode IRC #moto-atrix
All ROMs released as of writing are pseudoROMS that only theme and lightly modify the current OS
Thanks

I had a really bad feeling that that would be the case. Bell users appear to have a limited range of options compaired to the AT&T users. Now it seems that the Telstra users will have even less options than the Bell users.
I have at least managed to load HeLauncher, Pyramid & Fancy widgets tonight and now I've have more of the options that I wanted from the HTC desire sense UI.
Still trying to work out how to get my hands on the widget/live weather wallpaper that has that Super Cool looking windscreen wiper that clears the rain away.... Any ideas on how to get ahold of it?
Thanks again.
limited how? what version is your telstra rom? (wondering if its the same as the one that is already on this site)
as for the windshield wiper, that is from sense....oh i see you found the mock sense thread.

My system version is;
Version.4.1.47,MB860.Telstra.en.AU
Thanks for the info, I will start looking for the other one on this site.
So i can guess we can all agree that Telstra's Atrix cannot be flashed with custom ROM's from AT&T. I just tried it again tonight with different roms and all works up, shows "Ginger Blur" or whatever it is and then the red blinking failed boot and it just tries over and over to boot. I'm gonna flash back to OLYEM_U4_1.4.2_SIGNED_USAOLYEMTELSTRA_P029_A020_M005_HWolympus_1g_1FF and just sit and wait till something comes up unless someone's got something they wanna try
they should be able to flash using the gingerblur/greyblur guide by seven2009. you may not be able to deodex with the same instructions but installing should be fine, you would need to flash grey blur and factory reset the device before installing gingerblur.
If that route doesn't work you may need to start by flashing the french rom that is mentioned in that thread first.

You are doing better than me so far, but I must admit that going for custom ROM's has me a bit worried. I flashed my Nokia 5800 and it was better for looks and customisation, but it crashed alot. Then I jail breaked my iSheep (iphone 3G) and that was a little better than stock iOS, but it also crashed alot too.
I am hesitant to play around too much with the Atrix, simply because it's so new, and I was patient enough to wait for the Telstra release (instead of an imported AT&T version). However I found this thread that may shed some light on the topic at hand.
http://forums.whirlpool.net.au/forum-replies.cfm?r=29747620#r29747620
User "LeChuck" has some great knowledge and info about this Telstra firmware.
I am just not adventurous enough at the moment to have a crack at it. All I need to do, is find out how I could hard reset back to stock firmware if I don't like mods, then i'll give it a go. Even since rooted it over the weekend, I've notice3d more little issues each day I play around with things.
Can it be "Un-rooted" (is that an actual term used???) back to standard?

PS: OMG Atrix is released in Australia now? I should go find a telstra store and check out the differences, my Atrix that I've had since launch (from AT&T then unlocked) is the only one I've actually used so I'd love to see if the bugs in mine still exist in telstra's hahaha
EDIT: Oh and if u need a briefing. Bootloader Bypass has basically dropped off the radar and turned silent, probably still being worked on in private chats to avoid spam and offtopic posts. 2nd Init works (a different way to install custom ROMs however unable to modify kernel) but there are no ROMs developed yet, probably also being worked on in private chats if you are interested check out the freenode IRC #moto-atrix
All ROMs released as of writing are pseudoROMS that only theme and lightly modify the current OS

You mean, you would like the procedure of installing a custom ROM on those specs? I would too.
It's mainly the BL unlock process I am not sure about on Telstra Atrix of the same spec. I'm comfortable with the rest.
