hi people,
I have wallaby with windows 2003 SE I think and from time to time phone stuck (wont sync etc) and I have to soft reset it, thats not too often, maybe once-twice a day or so, is that enough reason to change win version on the phone, everything other work fine ?
Can anyone tell me about the upgrade or downgrade (I ve read someones post that SE is buggy and 2003 without SE is ok), I ve read that I should "build" my version and after that put it in windows folder on PPC and run it there, does the windows installation have anything with that ROM flashing or Radio flashing you mention a lot here or its just a windows installation ?
Can I destroy wallaby with windows install ?
Thanks people !
perhaps everyone changed wallaby for something newer, this forum looks dead
rom is windows and anything else which is preinstalled
here ppl get roms http://www.romkitchen.de/
and yes you can kill your device by upgrading rom

Perhaps you should read a little bit more in the forum... ;-)
As Rudgear already told you, flashing the ROM of a device could always kill a device.
For Up-/Downgrading the device you can read here about the process:

I upgraded to PC2003 several times, and my XDA always ended up dying after a few weeks, I now use PC2002 and it works perfectly. Never tried PC2003 SE though, is there much to be gained? At the end of the day a stable XDA missing a few features is much better than a buggy XDA with all the features.
still here guys, sorry for my paranoid toughts about dead forum )
Best regards people and thanks !
okay, the Purpose of this Thread is to ultimately find out if i need Active Sync to be up and running while I flash my XDA II to WM5.
Don't try to bash my Head in okay, i'm pretty new here and every search is giving me so much results that it's confusing finding your way through it all.
The ROM i would like to use is "XDA_WM5_3.50aWWE" and i also acquired a copy of the "himaupgradeut_noID.exe" File to bypass the Country ID Check (or whatever it was called).
I believe that this should work... i just need that darn question outta the way before i even dare to try something as delicate as flashing the ONLY XDA i have... not to mention the ONLY phone i have.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh by the way, if anyone from germany reads this and would like to help me in our native Language, feel free to do so
Yes you do need a computer with Windows XP (not Vista!) and ActiveSync version 4.5 (not older!) to flash WM6 to Himalaya.
success
thanks for the reply
I flashed my Hima to WM6 two days ago and i'm very happy with it
Hi All,
I have bought an HTC T4242+ via the internet from China, and when I received the phone I found WM6.1 loaded in the phone and I have a problem with it as my voice is breaking or not hearable when I do a phone call!!! I asked many people and they told that I have to upgrade the ROM but infact, I found that there is no Boot Loader in the phone and did not know how to do that, as I am new in this, I contacted my supplier who sent me a .rar file and he told me to open it to be UPR file and load it on the TFT card by a TFT card reader, then to press three buttons together, the power, Middle and green buttons until I see bar showing upgrading, then to restart the phone!!! I did all that many times but nothing happend, the bar showed no progress at all, and I still have the same ROM version with the same problems!!!! anybody can help to instruct me to how to upgrade the ROM..................??????????? I will appreciate your help guys
hey man, take a breath!
go to
Settings
System
and press Clear Storage.
try this. maybe it will work.
good luck!

This question is not related to the topic, please ask it in another thread...
Regarding the topic, beware that the T4242+ is NOT an official HTC product, but seems to be a cloned based on other hardware.
It has a Marvell 624MHz processor, while our regular, official T4242 uses a Qualcomm 7225 @ 528MHz.
Based on the pictures we can see here, the phone IS different, for instance the wheel looks different than the one we have on the T4242 (grip is much larger on the "clone").
The space between the htc logo on the front and the wheel is much bigger than on our T4242.
Even the stylus is not the same...
Therefore, DO NOT try the roms on this forum, as it will most likely result in a brick of your device!!!!
HardSPL will not work either!!!
The hardware is different (at least regarding the processor), so the devices are not compatible!
There are other people in your situation, so you should look here, and after here.
Basicly, the T4242+ and T3232 clones seem to share the same hardware, and may be compatible...
Good luck, and keep us posted!
EDIT : i don't understand chineese, but if you do, you may find what you are looking for here, as they seem to have roms for t4242+, including WM6.5...
Again, good luck!
EDIT 2 : there are comparisons between the two phones here, you can easily spot the differences...
EDIT 3 : well those pictures don't even look like my phone, and may be two clones indeed!!! lol

Thank you Blubster,
I think what I have is the clone T4242+, but when I bought it I never knew this, I thought that I am buying an original T4242+!! anyway, I contacted the supplier and he forwarded me the english ROM WM6.5 as a SMART.UPR file and he told me to load it on the TFT card then to insert the TFT in the phone and press three buttons together until the flash will start and until I see and upgrading green bar, but in my case nothing has been started! so anybody can instruct me how to load the ROM on my phone???

Please be careful not post links to warez or their related sites. Thanks!
I found this rom for the t4242+ from a chinese forum. Its a 21734 build and has integrated manila 2d(build 1818.3719). All buttons are working including wheel. Footprints tab does not work(for now)
http://sj.3zrr.com/4242/201001/2532.html
I tried to translate this rom using these files (21734 build)
http://hi.baidu.com/xulihanghai/blog/item/4d16b9ca389739f453664f46.html
and using this kitchen (3238 kitchen for clones)
http://www.load.to/dyLKs4KVeR/3238_kitchen.zip
I can extract the rom then edit the SYS and OEM language files
I put boot registry files (wich are included in the language files i posted) in ROM/XIP
Repack into new rom doesnt give any errors if i rename boot_ms.rgu to boot.rgu
But the rom wont load on my phone. cant get past the first screen. Is it cause i dont have the right boot files?
Ive tried extracting the boot files from other roms with no success.
Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks
Joe
Thank you so much guys, my problem has been resolved concerning the T4242+ and thanx Joe for publishing the new ROM

...it's not a ROM issue, it seems to be a hardware problem, since it's a clone.
I have bought a similar one, upgraded ROM, but still the voice quality in phone calls is below average.
I just changed the device to an oriignal HTC, it helped.

PS - I have flashed many devices before but never a mobile phone/PDA, and I run an IT business so don't hesitate on using 'technical' terms
If you haven't done it yet, just start reading here. It's pretty much all you need to know to get you started. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners. You basically just need to pay attention to point 1: HardSPL, Flash using MicroSD.
what is HARD SPL?
use the [Easy Hard-Spl v7 beta v0.1] by qwasde2
it,s really usefull i tryed it it,s by me
it,s for win xp and vista and se7en users
i,am not joking here is the link

Hi everyone,
Please can anyone tell me where to find a good and stable ROM for flashing my HTC Tianxi T9188. My brother brought it back from China and left it with me. Unfortunately, I dont understand the Chinese language it came with and need to flash in an English ROM to be able to use the phone.
Its a shame that I have such a nice phone but cant use it due to the language issue.
Please HELP!!!

Well I was actually hoping that you could point me to a link where I can download the ROM from. I have been searching through google but haven't really found any good one so far.
Please help!!!
HTC Tianxi is the China only released version of the HD2. Some differences - CPU, RAM and TD-SCDMA. To me this seems a slightly lower spec'd phone than the HD2.
Check out pdadb.net - run pdacomparer. Doubt there would be any other language version's. At your own risk you could try some HD2 - built roms or ICS Andriod roms.
Thats the problem tx. I was hoping I culd get an English ROM for the HTC Tianxi T9188 and not have to experiment with the HD2 ROMs, considering that both phones have different hardwares. Thats the risk I dont wanna take cos of the possibility of bricking the phone. I did come across an Android ROM though but I can see CHS in the name of the ROM which tells me that it is still a Chinese ROM all the same.
Another problem I am facing is flashing the HardSPL for the Tianxi. It us using SPL 1.27.0000 and I cant find a hardspl flasher which is compatible with it. I have searched here and in other forums and Google and any other place you can think of, still nothing. Have tried the ones I have seen online and always met an error. Any help here will be most appreciated.
And thanks for taking your time to respond.
Check out thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
on SPL,SSPL,HSPL,HSPL2.
If you have SD Card try loading (SD version) in the root and (MAGLDR) boot etc. If that works then it may take NAND versions.
Other than experiment, sorry cant be of more help.
I have tried all the hardspl flashers I can find in the thread you gave ... from HSPL to HSPL4. Non of them could work for the Tianxi. All gave the same BAD ID error and wont flash the HardSPL.
Please help me anyone ... I am getting frustrated by this
