New Touch Dual user - what should I know - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

Hi
Tomorrow I'm switching from SPV C600 to HTC Touch Dual (Orange branded).
I'm going to flash custom firmware to it after a few days of using. I flashed and CID-unlock C600 so I'm not totally lame but what should I know about Nike flashing/unlocking?
My phone is SIM-lock free. Do I have to Cid-unlock it anyway?
Is the HardSPL the best choice?
Are the hardware 2D/3D drivers available? I have read about lack of drivers some time ago but I see "Omnia driver" in custom ROMs feature list.
Is the built-in TouchFLO a 2D or 3D app?
Which ROM should I try in first place?

HardSPL is the Best choise to Flash other Roms. No other unlocks needed!

The Niki havent any 2D or 3D Acceleration. The Omnia driver perform better, but the real 2D and 3D drivers are not in the OS. The real drivers are included in the Radio Rom and much more. The HTCClass 3D Driver add 3D support to the OS but without a full activated GPU ... nice to have ... good step ... in the moment not realy usefull.

If its SIM-lock free, then the phone is already unlocked. So, flash HardSPL 1.22 nad off you go. Ditch the bloated Orange ROM for something useful!
Do look for an official Orange ROM first, in case you need to flash back and return for warranty works.

Hi Guys
I am new to this forum and have a few quick question. I have purchased a i-mate jasjam. I currently have a different rom to the one on the i-mate site. Mine is as follow:
Rom: 1.31.305.2
Rom date: 09/08/06
Radio version: 1.20.31.10
Ext Rom: 1.31.305.103.
Now I want too downgrade to a different boot loader so I can unlock it. What is the best method to do this and will it work on my device. Also is there any way which I can back up the existing rom, and also should I use a different rom then the one I have as i-mate know nothing about the current rom on my jasjam?

1) Flash this ROM, it has CDL__001 (i-Mate jasjam WWE CID):
ftp://xda:[email protected]_1.20.305.3_1.20.305.104_1.07.03.10_ship.exe
2) Unlock:

Your existing rom is here, no need to back up first:
ftp://xda:[email protected]_1.31.305.2_1.31.305.103_1.20.31.10_ship.zip
You can flash ANY rom you want after you unlock:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
thankyou very much for the fast response will try it tonite when i get home. Another quick question this will make my imate have bootlaoder 1.04. That is all i really need to do if i dont want to unlock my device is that correct cause i dont want to make it a brick then i cant get any warranty at all
After you flash the imate 1.20 rom you will have bootloader 1.04, then you can unlock safely
Ok i have tried and put another sim in my fone and it worked straight away with out having to unlock or do any thing. Is there any benefit for me to still downgrade to the different imate rom?
If it's already unlocked there will be not much benefit for you... only SuperCID if you plan to switch between different roms, but wait until the next version of the unlocker which will keep SuperCID after rom upgrades (current version 1 doesn't).
So: no need for you to do much... you're on the latest radio and your device is unlocked
I know it is so good. I can't believe that i have latest rom and it is not even unlocked. Thankyou for your help on this matter. Will this pda ba bale to support the new windows mobile when it comes out and will i be able to flash it into it?

I don't know if there will be any WinCE 6 ROMs for the Hermes in the future, but here at XDA-Developers we will put all our effort into running it if it is not "officially" supported by HTC
BTW, now we should better concentrate the efforts into running Linux on the Hermes and forget about WM6
LoL go the linux I use it at home it is better then Mixrosxxt but it is good for the pda?

Not booting yet on the Hermes, but it runs quite well on other devices like Universal and BlueAngel. cr2 is doing a great job with the Universal if you like linux you should see how it runs there!
I hope someone joins the Linux development for the Hermes soon and we can have at least a booting kernel with minimal hardware support as starting point

Ohhh cr2!!!! same Samsung CPU and patched haret!!! Must try that when I reach home, thanks for the pointer... will keep you updated
EDIT: Actually couldn't resist and tried it from work
Seems that patched gnuharet for the G500 is working fine on the Hermes, but kernel doesn't boot, it freezes at the red-eye penguin screen. I guess I'll have to tweak 'default.txt' a bit, but still have to investigate how... cr2: expect my questions on IRC soon

NEON with nike roms?

i already made hardspl and the pda is still working fine
i need to know if the regular nike roms can work on neon300 device
yes it can!
you need to change the CID inside the ROMs and you need change the CID in the Niki Radio ROM! it only works with niki and neon roms! if you try to flash a kaiser or platform different device ... you can brick your phone!
if you hear no sound or it doesnt ring ... you havent flash a niki radio! this is importent!! it only works with a niki radio!
next ... some registry settings are different! you must compare! the keyboard slied is invert. the rest works! some time i use neon roms on my niki to test new radios. this is why i know ... different radios ... you need new drivers!
I'm also interested in the same thing.
I'm looking at one of the skins with all the Diamond stuff built into it but I have no idea where to start and I don't wanna go trying things without making sure it works. It's a Neon 200.

I second that, i just flashed the neon hardspl and would like to flash the Throttle Rom, or Niki Project. Also, i was wondering if someone could explain the term "radio", in pda terms lol
Bump
pls someone tutor us no0bs
u can flash niki roms to a NEON device but there are some hardware problems such as the keyboard.tho i havent tried myself,its what ive read in threads.once youve HARDSPLD u should b fine and experiment flashing.i flashed the diamond v2**not beta** by seth and havent looked back since.as for the radio question,it refers to ur GSM antenna.usually the higher the numbers the greater reception but at the cost of battery life,it also depends on where you live.so first find a stable rom u like and then start trying out radios untill you find the best reception/battery life for you.
thx every little bit helps

I know this sounds really, really really cheap, but id be willing to donate to someone who would be willing to do this to Throttle Diamond for the Touch Dual Neon. I'll test also.

Is it difficult to update a new ROM?

Hi!
I have a original Scandinavian HTC Touch Dual ROM v1.31.414.09 (radio version 1.58.16.27).
I'm looking for a new ROM with WM6.1. Is it difficult to get my Nike to be updated the WM6.1? HTC Club doesnt offer WM6.1 update .
If it's easy to upgrade, what version should I go for? Is there any step-by-step upgrade guide for dummies?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730 As for which one to update to, depends on what device you have. Niki or Neon. Settings>Device information>Identity. It took me a while to update, just because i get anxious and just start downloading haha. More than likely, u have a Niki, which matter a fact, have a lot of roms.

Iolite/Touch Cruise 2 CID/Security/SIM Unlocker

if you're thinking of Region ID, that requires a patch to the ROM itself.

NBHUtil is just a tool that packs .NB into .NBH or extracts .NB from .NBH

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.

Before I Upgrade ....

I just bought T-Mobile Ameo WM 5.0 over the ebay which was mentioned unlocked. I am using it with vodafone SIM. I am confused by reading about upgrades that it has to be unlopcked before it ca be upgraded. Does this SIM unlock is the 'unlock' required to upgrde or is it something different?
(1) How do I know that it is really unlocked, if it is different to SIM unlocking? As it is working with other than T-Mobile SIM proves it is unlocked? As different to other WM devices I have used, this is more like a PC booting up.
(2) What are the prime benefits of upgrading to WM6.0?
(3) I want to go for official upgrade (i.e. WM 6.0) than coocked ROMs as for now. Or should I jump to the latest (but coocked Wm 6.1 or WM 6.5) ROM? Do I loose any functionality in installing coocked ROM?
(4) And last, does upgrading to offical ROM (downloaded from links on the forum) will again Unlock it to T-Mobile? This may seem trivial, but I have a bit concern that as it is going to be offical upgrade, can it again lock to T-Mobile? If it does, than I will not be in a position to use it as phone unless I unlock again! This seems funny on my part, but better prevent than cure.
Thanks in advance
NO ONE AS YET? I gussed I would have received instant answers to very basic questions becaise I had just bought Ameo!

Its been a while since I did mine but will try and advise on what I can remember
1.SIM unlocking is for using other networks operators and sometimes confused with CID unlocking, I think. If your using a vodaphone sim then it is def sim unlocked but in order to get it to a safe point for upgrading ideally you need to install hardspl and cid unlock I think. There are many guides on here but you will have to search and read I'm afraid as most of us did this a while ago.
2/3.Each of the windows builds 6.0, 6.1 and 6.5 bring different things and increased functionality, 6.0 and 6.1 are worthwhile upgrades as they are both official releases, you may struggle to find a stock 6.1 for the ameo though. Again its been a long time since I used 6.1 on any of my devices, 6.5 is ok as long as you realise that its still in MS beta so you may find stuff that doesnt work or isnt perfect but it is the most up to date. Cooked roms gain or loose functionality dependant on the cook who made it and what they decided to include or remove.
4. I have never installed the stock t-mobile rom so cant tell you if it will re-lock the device but I wouldnt think so.
***Please for your own sake, read as much as you can in these forums to ensure you know what your going to do, also if you do decide to go for cooked roms make sure you use a rom suitable for your SPL****
Hope this helps

That's what I was suspecting, that SIM unlocking wasn't the unlocking required to upgrade it. Thanks for reconfirming this.
Now as there is offical WM 6.0 ROM for Ameo linked here, does that mean they (T-Mobile) have also referred their own upgrading procedure somewhere? For my Xperia X1, SE Updte utility takes care of official upgrade task, so something similar had existed sometime as there exists official T-Mobile 6.0 ROM, there must their official procedure too. I will definitely try to find it, but as yet someone had gone through it, please give some hints.
And as yet until I get a definite answer that upgrading it to offical WM 6.0 T-Mobile ROM will not lock (I mean SIM Lock) to T-Mobile again, I will prefer to defer although I am still looking to get enhanced performance, it has been with me for just a few day and I don't want to mess it up as I have slowly began to love it! Even it is like my desktop speakerphone at home / office and I have began to talk more conveniently and confortable on the desk or home. Yes, I am still not used to use it as normal small cell phone, but I hope I will gt used to it, although I find to see anything on screen during sulit days or in bright daylight.

Hi. welcome to the forum. I was new here six months ago. there is a lot of information here and you MUST take time to read and understand. not many will answer your basic questions. they is not being nasty, it is just the way it is. you must teach yourself. you will not find much (if any) information about official roms.
if you decide to try a cooked rom, Lakeman has produced a great tutorial which is stickied in this forum. It is the one I followed. here is the link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429013
study this carefully, google anything you dont understand, dont do anything until you are sure you know what you are doing.

to be able to flash cooked ROMs to your phone you need to hardSPL your device. HardSPl will OS unlock your device. to be able to use the best WM6.5 rom for your device you need to upgrade to SPL 3.5.
first thing you need to do:
find out what spl your device is currently using: hold down camera button (all the way down) + press the reset hole/button, keep holding down on the camera button but release the reset hole/button (keep holding on camera button until a multi colored screen comes up (then release camera button) look where it says (spl) tell us what is there.

It was 1.10 something and I upgraded to T-Mobile official WM6 ROM today without any issues and overall device is more fast and chunkier. Now it is 2.35 something.
I have however noticed two issues,
(1) HSDPA switch is enabled yet 'H' icon has gone so probably it is not connecting to HSDPA mode, I guess. I want the 'H' back.
(2) Windows Live is gone.
(3) Programs icons are noit alfabatically sorted but somehow lossely scattered.
I googled that Ameo doesn't require CID unlocked and it upgrades directly and it did via T-Mobile application which runs via USB cable.

HSDPA may be down to the age of the rom, if tmobile didnt have their HSDPA running when the rom was built may not be included in the icons etc
Windows live should be available through cab if you search or use a 3rd party app like palringo

Now I have been using the Ameo for 2 years now, and must have flashed about every rom there is for it. So the other day I thought about going back to a stock WM6.0 T-mobile rom and try it for a few days to see how different it was to a cooked rom. Well it lasted 2 hours and I put it back to Michy's 5.1 rom. Now I'm not saying that Michy's roms are the mutts nutts of roms, that is down to personal choice, but it just proved to me why we use cooked roms. Read the WIKI, and I very much doubt you will have a fault that's not covered in that page.Also read THIS superb thread, it tells you all you need to know BE very careful when choosing a rom that you check the SPL on it, as flashing an SPL 3.5 rom onto an Ameo with another SPL will cause all sorts of problems. Like I say, Read the WIKI FIRST. take your time, and do nothing till you are sure!
Regards
Jay
Somehow I found internet access speeds even better although it doesn't display 'H' for HSDPA, because noe HD youtube videos plays smoothly with less buffering, i.e. seems good enough. Battery life has been extended.
USB host is still not good, can't retain it's status, can't load HDD or DVD or CD drives (via powered hub, offcourse)
I was just ponderind, does it drain more battery while connected to keyboard as keyboard definitely will be needing some current to drive and power to run it, that means even when it is plugged in to charger or USB to a PC, what difference does i make w.r.t time it takes to fully charge and retain there where keyboard is connected and when not?
Hi I just upgraded my Ameo using the official TMB 005 6.0 upgrade and it did not relock my sim to tmobile, my vodacom sim is still working fine, however now I want to upgrade it to 6.1 or 6.5 perhaps using a cooked ROM as i cant find an offical Tmobile upgrade to 6.1

I dont think there was an offical t mobile 6.1 release, and any 6.1 stock build will be very old now as I dont think there has been any oem development for this device for a long time.

No there wasn't a 6.1 upgrade for our device, I think they thought it such a small change that it wasn't worth it. and not long after they brought out the 16gb device.
