I tried to search on Wiki and the forum. But negative hits.
Currently i have a english HTC tytn, and it has to change to a Dutch rom.
I searched for a simple language pack (like windows xp ). But i couldn't found 1.
So i searched on Wiki. I found some close hits but without the correct sollutions.
After searching for a while i found the WM 5 dutch Rom for a Hermes. ME_DT_NLD_1182542_104_10303_Ship.exe
I thought okey this must be easy. Just use unpack and run the Shipped Rom.
The Wrapper gave me the following error on installation. Error 260 device not found. Ok that isn't a problem i will use the Olipro wrappers from the bootload or sspl.
SSPL didin't work and the bootload trick worked. Actually after the 100% installation it gave the error, and the device was resetting. The device started windows. an it was actually a dutch version. Before i jumped up and down of excitment i wanted to be sure it installed the customize. When it started to install the customize it actually frozen at the today content. After waiting for an half our. I decided to give the device a hard reset. The screen after the hard reset turned white. So there was somethin wrong.
Next step was to take the .NBH file from the zipped package and unpack it in a folder to add the correct customization. It didn't help at all.
At this moment i am out of ideas. Because why wasn't the original rom installing as it suppose to be. Is this a common problem. or did i lost my mind and didn't follow the right steps.
Please let me know.
I actually used to reset the rom to its orriginal backup rom. but i get a vendor id error.!!!!
Fixed the problem;
I used Hard-spl-v7, after unpacking the shipped rom with NBH tool. Then removed the IPL / SPL folders from the new map and inserted the RUU-wrapper from the Hard-spl-v7 zip file.
Still have a wrecked rom on a other tytn. K.I.A. i quess. If its solved i let you know.
hi guys!
Thanks for the affort creating the roms and the applications and roms!
its really great to know you!
but i have a problem. This easy way with Hardspl makes more problems like the old system in my case :-(
------------------------------------- general infos
(i used PDAViet_4.0.0.5a for long time! i was really satisfied with this rom)
i downgraded to WM5 by using RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID
i downloaded the update_package, because i want to try Prophet Shadow 1.0 (Vista Aero FINAL EDITION) so i need hardspl
-------------------------------------
---- what i did:
-------------------------------------
i started the Hardspl.bak
on my mobilephone an applications started and asked to be installed (i said yes)
afterwards my pc started the RUU
but THIS stopps with the VISTA message: "Applications stops working"
the bat file says:
------------- output on pc ----------------
*****************Hard SPL for Prophet**************

What did i wrong?
as i understood i dont need step 3 and step 4. (this is only used, if i have NO RUU, but as i understood the new roms are RUUs ??) step3 and step4 is used, if i wanna use the old gullums pdaviet !? (as i read in an other topic)
I tried to use RUU_Prophet_220739_2207119_024721_QTEK_GER_Ship
to get an official rom on my mobilephone. but also this RUU i cannt use. every other rom except RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID
i noticed, when i have this white screen (thx to the jumpspl) i have no connection and so the RUU cannot connect. but how can i use RUU, if there is no connection with my mobilephone ?? (during white screen)
my actual phone infos
ipl 2.09.0001
spl 2.20.0001
gsm 02.47.21
os 2.20.7.34
Can anyone help me?
ahhh, windows vista. I got the same crash of the updater app (I'm on vista also).
no problems running it from my laptop that has windows xp.
no idea with VISTA.. Google it.. Maybe some one could help you.
mhh... but i solved the problem with vista by using the OLD method
i am confused. i have the usb driver of Active Sync 4 (for win XP) and only with this new USBAS i am able to Flash the rom.
I FLASHED the rom, so it cant be win Vista, or is it because of a command in bat file?
has anyone an idea???
The problem is the RUU, there isn't a Prophet RUUthat can be used with Vista. HTC didn't develloped one since they didn't release an upgrade in the "Vista age" for Prophet.
So, with the change of the drivers wich you did, you can connect at USB-level and flash the "old-style". But until someone modiefies a Vista-RUU suitable for Prophet, the "new-style" won't work.
There is a Vista-RUU circulating, but it only serves G3, it will give an error when used with a G4. you will find it here: post #14 Don't mind is doesn't show a Prophet. The modifier just didn't change the image.
woooow great!!!
THX man!!
THATS the information what i wanted! in one short answer, i know everything what i need!
perfect!
one more thing:
is it possible to convert the RUU back to the old style? that means, i have the directory for the ext_rom and all the files like in the old style with the upgrade.bat file?!?!

Good question, but I don't have an answer. I am sure it can be done (red about it somewhere, I think in the hypercore-thread) but I don't know how.
BTW: the RUU is only the Rom Upgrade Utility, it is the nk.nbf that contains the actual Rom Upgrade, so that's the one to be converted.
Hello everybody.
I had installed "TouchFLO Charmer WM6_GER ver. 2.8 BETA by mschmitz" over an WM5 T-Mobile MDA compact II (Charmer) and everything worked great.
see link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331142
Now i cooked my own ROM (Charmer WM6) with some improvements and correct working German Input methods.
see Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2075053#post2075053
As there are several "how-to" here but all are spread around this forum, i will try to give a checklist how you probably not kill your device.
Print this checklist and search the forum for the how-to's.
Prerequisitions:
If something goes wrong, be sure to have a ROM of your Phoneprovider (e.g. T-Mobile WM 5 AKU 2.2 for a T-Mobile device).
If you sdo not have an original ROM, you can use this one to flash back to WM5 (i used this, do not worry that it is english): http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/files/RUU_Compact ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe
Backup your data! All will be lost after upgrading, or if anything goes wrong. You can use Sprite Backup (the only tool that allows upgrading from different WM versions - eg. from WM5 to WM6 - but you wil loose SMS. Use PPCPIMBackup Freeware to backup SMS).
Always use the corrrect ROM (do not use e.g. a MDA III ROM on an MDA II)
I also recommend to delete your Active Sync Partnership after upgrade (Active Sync/File/Delete Mobile Device) and let Active Sync setup a new one (otherwise you may have problems with File sync, sometimes an error pops up).
If you have problems to sync with outlook, it might be a problem with the restored data of SPRITE BACKUP as WM5 has a different database than WM6.
In case you geet an error "Error 8007000e" or similar do the following:
1) Hard Reset
2) Do NOT connect to Active Sync !!!
3) Restore your personal data (If you use Sprite backup select Merge, Level 1 but do NOT select "Migration Data" whern you get the filetree)
4) On your PocketPC start the program "Active Sync" (still NOT connected to PC)!
5) Go to Menu/Options and DELETE the partnership (e.g. "Windows PC").
All Syncroniced data will be deleted on the PocketPC (Contacts, Appointments, etc..), but they are still available in OUTLOOK on your PC.
6) Thereafter delete your Partnership also on the PC (Active Sync - File/elete Mobile Device).
7) Now connect your PocketPC to the Desktop PC and the Outlook data will be syncronized again without error.
You can try to start at point 4) maybe you do not need a hardreset/backup again, try....
After upgrading you should always delete the partnerships....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the upgrading steps. Make sure to check them all!
1) Unlock your device (CID and SIM). You have to CID unlock your device, or otherwise you cannot install a ROM that is e.g. not T-Mobile on an T-Mobile MDA.
How?
First of all you have to check what device (G3 or G4) and what Bootloaderversion (IPL/SPL) 1.x or > 2.x you have.
SOFT reset your device and note the red numbers that come.
If you have something like
IPL: 1.12 (or 1.12.000)
SPL 1.12.0000
you have an G3 device.
If IPL or SPL ends with 1 (e.g. 1.12.0001), you have an G4 device.
(0 is G3, 1 is G4)
Now check the first number.
1.12.xx is an Bootloader version 1 and 2.12.xx is 2, and so on.
I had an G3/Bootloader V1.x device, so I CANNOT say if it works for other devices.
For a G3 device you have to use Lockiwiz2b to SIM/CID unlock your device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474).
For a G4 device you have to use Lockiwiz3 to SIM/CID unlock (dont know if it works)
Its easier to unlock an 1.xx. device, so unlock before upgrading (even with an official ROM)
You will NOT loose your data as no HARD reset is necessary. Lockiwiz will not harm your system (if you do the right thing).
2) Now that you have CID unlocked your device, check your Bootloader Version. WM6 can only be installed with an V2 Bootloader (IPL/SPL 2.x.xxx) or higher!!.
So if you have e.g. IPL/SPL 1.12.xx, you first have to upgrade your device with a more recent WM5. I installed T-Mobile WM5 AKU 2.2 and thereafter i had 2.20.xx
3) WM6 cannot be installed over WM6 !!!
If you allready have a WM6 on your Charmer, DOWNGRADE to WM5, thereafter install the new or updated WM6!
4) Install ROM and enjoy.
If soething went wrong, you can save your device by going to Bootloader mode (push and hold camera button and reset with stylus. When you see the 3 colored Screen, release Camera Button. Then you are in bootloader mode and you can flash the original ROM vie your PC and ActiveSync (thats why you should have a WM5 ROM by the hand)
Summary:
1) Check what device you have (G3/G4)
2) Check what Bootloader Version you have (1.xx.xx or > 2.xx.xx)
3) Unlock CID (and SIM) with Lockiwiz02 (G3) or Lockiwiz03 (G4)
If this did not work, STOP here and forget it, nothing is lost until here! If your device is not CID unlocked you will kill your device with a "non vendor" ROM
4) If your bootloader (IPL/SIP) is 1.xx.xx, first upgrade to 2.xx.xx via an official WM5 ROM upgrade (or check XDA-Developers ROMs), otherwise device is dead
5) If you allready have an WM6 on your device, downgrade to WM5 first!
6) Install WM6 and enjoy.

You dont need to CID unlock the device to upgrade to WM6. In fact, CID unlocking works only on 1.xx bootloader, and once you've bought a device with 2.xx, you can't go back.
That's why, instead of cid unlocking, you can just use NO_ID RUU, which bypasses checking the VendorID in the flashing process. You can find it here: http://www.windowsceportal.hu/tartalom/programok/htc_charmer_upgradeut_noid.zip
Other than that, its a great thread. Making it sticky.
"WM6 can only be installed with an V2 Bootloader (IPL/SPL 2.x.xxx)!!."
Add: WM6 can be installed with an V3 Bootloader (IPL/SPL 3.x.xxx also

Hello amoor.
I also had Bootloader version 1 and simply used the official AKU 2.0 upgrade from T-Mobile from their homepage.
Thereafter it was Bootloader Version 2.
If you do not have an original ROM, you can use this WM5 (Do not worry that it is in english): http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/files/RUU_Compact ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe.
Thereafter you can upgrade to WM6.

Hello,
I have WM6 to installt on my mda compact 2. How bekome I the language in German? Under regional Settings I Have German Others, but the language ist in english.
Thank you for your Answer.
The Menue is in english but the date was in german.??
Why don't you just install a German ROM by Ridingshark or Cyberdel. Then it will be German.
30.53 MB of storage -> OK - after UNhide -> ActiveSync Problem
Hello,

Bevor UNhide 14 MB storage - but ActiveSync works perfect
After UNhide 30 MB storage - Active Sync dosen´t sync!!
Bevor and after unhide the same ROM (WM ROM 6.5 German (CTRLPDA))

ActiveSync tells me NO MEMORY on device?!?!? I can not sync any caleder or contacts!
Why?

Greetings from Germany

Who is CTRLPDA? Is it a forum member? We can't help you supporting ROMs not made in the forum cause we don't know the base then.
And what did you unhide? The extROM or what?
hy there,
so i have a problem with my startrek.
when i start with romupdateutility, i became a message like this:
Error (270) : Update error
The image file is corrupted. please check your update utility.
So does it means, that the cidunlock or application unlock does not work at my handy?

What o.s. are u used? Vista or xp? Because with xp there is no problem, with vista you must change the spl or change the driver of the device in the pc...
If u use vista,search in the forum..the problem is solved
Hey Slavix

it is not necessary to make a CID Unlock (SuperCID) again

Look for post titled "Flashing ????????"
it should help.
Hello,
I have a big problem. I flashed my HTC Touch Dual (Swisscom XPA Touch Dual with Italian language) with SSPL first. Then I forgot to flash the device with uSPL or HardSPL and a new ROM (official HTC wm6.1 German) was failed in the middle. Now I have the "upgrade rom code error". Flashing the HardSPL or uSPL is imposible now, bcause of the "ERROR [262] : UPDATE ERROR". I can't find the original ROM (swisscom italian) for the device, all other official ROMs brake with the error " ERROR [294]: INVALID VENDOR ID" (because there is no HardSPL / uSPL, right?). I have USB connection in bootloader mode (can go there only, the operator system is lost) but in the device manager there is MICROSOFT USB SYNC and not HTC USB SYNC (can't identificate the device, only as a "Qualcomm..." in "devices and printer (WIN 7 x64). I have done all the steps for "drivers for WIN 7" and tried it on a (virtual) WIN XP with the same results. Is there a way to save the system with mtty (it's too difficult for me) or other processes?
Thank you in advance (and sorry for my english) !!!
P.S.: I looked at google and other threads in this forum, but without results

Hello ebsbow,

Always showing bootloader screen with rom upgrade error
I was trying to revert to windows custom rom from android (due to frequent freezing) and then onwards booting the phone I am always getting the bootloader screen displaying rom upgrade error.
I tried hard reset but still the same problem persists, then I downgraded the HSPL 2.08 to SPL-1.42.HSPL and then tried reinstalling the custom rom but still the same problem persists. In between after downgrading the HSPL, I tried task 29, it was unsuccessful after 96% (shows Invalid Command (Error 290)), while reinstalling the customRUU I have, I got something like error 270 at the end (it goes fine till 100%).
I also tried with installing the radio (ver 2.15.50.14) in between but to no effect
Please help me in fixing the issue, my phone is of no use now
