I got my phone yesterday around 4 pm. Short of doing some homework I have been researching how to get the most out of it all night. I attempted to use QPST but that led to my phone being unable to sync at all with my computer. I would like to do this manually if at all possible. The problem is that I do not have a "Security or EPST" option under view. Where would I find those exactly?
I also have some questions about DCD 3.3.4 ROM:
Will ActiveSync still work?
Will I be able to install all of the freeware apps and have them run properly as if from stock?
I have a US Cellular phone; once I flash it will be impossible to go back to stock, correct?
What would be the necessary steps to get the 2.47 bootloader if all I have is USB and an 8gig microSD card?
My bootloader version currently installed is listed as 1.07.0000, the wiki does not mention this version; will it be a problem?
I also want to double check my steps, considering the above is true (about not returning to stock) I want to make damn sure I do this right the first time:
EPST settings copy
Install bootloader 2.40 via USB
Run ROM Update Utility with 3.42.50 in RUU folder via USB
Go to loader screen via PWR-CMRA-RST
Run DCD 3.3.4 via USB
Any help or advice (or both) is greatly appreciated. Thanks to anyone that helps in advance.

besides dcd 3.3.4 I woudl also check out Skips ROM
Aloha, DCD 3.3.4 is awsome I was using that for a long while until Skip came out with V 1.1 I am currently running Skip's WM6.1 build 20954 v1.1 Lite and Kitchen http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468707 I think you would probably like this ROM very fast, lite and lean. It has a update downloader in it that allows you to add in things like Office and OneNote. The other thing it seems to have and Skip would have to correct me if I am wrong but in the Kitchen as options Unloack and hard spl phone, flash radio 3.42.50, cooking the ROM is very easy in that kitchen just follow the instruction. He has also created a very easy to use CAB to OEM packager.
Also make sure you read through the wiki if this your first time burning a rom to a phone. The help there is very well done.
So far I really like the speed of this ROM it has no problem running the new IOLITE version of M2D.

You need a 2gb or smaller card, even if you just buy it, flash it, and then toss it, you need the 2gb or less for HardSPL2.47 to load, and also to flash the radio you should use SD card as well.
Once these 2 steps are done, you don't need the smaller card and can switch to the 8gb card.
There is no going back once you flash HardSPL2.47, there is no stock rom, so once you do that first step you must finish or your phone will no longer be functional.
You definitely want to get QPST working first so that you can read the phone's programming, otherwise your phone will never work correctly, it can be fixed by hand but is a real pain in the butt.
BTC

So I should definitely pick up a 2gig or smaller just to get this installed? Could I pull it off with like a 512meg card or do I need something a little bigger?

DCD's 3.0.0 INSTALL GUIDE!!

If your having trouble installing the radio(I was). DCD hinted that you should try installing the Sprint rom first-The official one-http://www.america.htc.com/mogulupdate/)
Then after that is done installing go ahead and flash his 3.0.0 rom.
Everything should work great. Also if you were wondering you DO NOT need to relock ur device. Use oli pro's bootloader and enter bootloader mode by pressing camera power and the soft reset button. Do this for both the HTC rom and dcd's.
Any questions feel free to reply back, hope my info helped!!
now when u say flash his 3.0.0 rom...do we just open BuildNB.bat ? in the kitchen rar file? cuz i've never seen a rom that had all those folders and files, usually i just get a single .nbh file or .exe
I don't really see much of an install guide here, so I'll go ahead and post how I did it.
I'm running dcd's 3.0.0 and it's working great. PLEASE BE AWARE: At this point, there is only a kitchen, not a released rom. You will need to "cook" your own Rom. Instructions below.
Steps I took: (Coming from a previous Stock ROM)
1) Backup using PPCPimBackup (optional)
2) Hard Reset (optional)
3) Install the new Sprint 3.35 Rom/Radio
4) Install SPL-olipro 2.40 Bootloader
5) Download/extract dcd's 3.0.0 kitchen
6) Download/install Visual C++ 2008 Runtime
7) In the kitchen, run 'BuildNB.bat'
8) Follow the instructions, pick packages/carrier, and let it do it's thing
9) Let the RUU install this new Rom.
10) Install apps and restore backup
I hope that's helpful to those trying this for the first time.

niec help from kd5ftn
so, the first post says put it in bootloader mode, but the "more complete" instructions don't mention bootlader mode. Does it matter?
Also, would it be better if I used an XP machine? I have Vista Home Premium, but I have access to an XP machine if there will be less problems.
Yeah, I'm not sure why he's manually entering the bootloader. Once the Rom Update Utility ran for each process, It pretty much did it it all for me.
I'm unfotunately not experienced enough cooking kitchen's to know more. I kind of like to get things setup and leave them alone. So far, everything with my phone feels quicker and more polished.

FYI you'll need .Net framework 2 or higher for this to run, i tried it from work but it wouldn't run since we only have 1.1 and i don't want to mess with my work machine for something like this.
Also don't run it from a thumb drive... it takes a LONG time before it does ANYTHING.

Me as well. I would also like to know the small details...like:
What values I need to record and how to get them
Where to get my A-Key (It is not listed where everybody says it should be),
Should I shut off the radio before beginning,
Will a hard reset improve my chances of this working,
If I sync my contacts and calender before I begin, will it restore back after?
I wrote Verizon asking about there timetable for this upgrade, but if they do not get back to me soon I may take the plunge and start flashing myself. The Kitchen seems easy to use, and there is an update in the Radio thread on how to get it to work.

Starting from 2.3.2 and using post #3. I did steps 3, stopping the initialization after the HTC mobility screen came up. Skipped step 4 (already on the Phone), and did 5 through 9. Allowed phone to boot up after installing 3.0.0 with Verizon selected in the Kitchen. Previous installations I had Akey and data connection issues each time with Verizon, this time very smooth, just did a *228 option 1 for insurance. Had to reload my [email protected] in the data connection entry. Relatively painless.

Updating/Upgrading a HTC Cingular 8525?

Hi there everyone.
I have just bought a new HTC Cingular 8525 but it is running windows mobile 5. I would like to upgrade but I cannot find any downloads or instructions on how to do so. I do not want to brick up my new phone. Does anybody know a download link to upgrade to the latest windows mobile version that will work on my phone. Its an american bought phone which is unlocked and I am using it in the UK on Three. It used to be locked to at&t and I am pretty sure much of the at&t rubbish is slowing my memory and speed of the unit. If I were to upgrade will the phone still be unlocked?
Rom version is 2.15.502.3
Rom date is 04/09/07
Radio version is 1.40.30.00
Protocol version is 32.73.7020.16H
Operating system is (build 15706.3.5.2)
I am all new to this and would appreciate any advice idiot proof I have flashed many PSPs and other things but nothing like this.
As I have just got the phone I am still trying to work out how to use it so I have no idea how to do a Hard or Soft reset and have no idea about the roms
Sorry to waste your time
Please help
Rob
You should read through the Hermes wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Make sure you install hardspl! If you install the "official" AT&T WM6 install hardspl again, your phone will stay unlocked, even with custom roms. If you flash one of the big storage roms, then go to try another, flash the "official" rom before flashing another custom rom.
Read the wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
I would also suggest making sure your phone is "super cid" before flashing custom roms, you'll also be able to flash from an sd card if you are super cid.
Read a bunch before flashing any radio roms!!!
Read, read, and re-read before you flash, and you should be fine. They have made the process fairly straight forward, but you can never be too sure. I have never "bricked" my phone, and I jumped in with both feet!
Mustn't flash a lot then because if you did you will end up with a brick sometime... I've always been able to recover my Hermes but there is STILL the possibility it won't.... one day...

I guess I have been lucky, but I'm sure I haven't flashed as much as others on here. But, I tried to follow the wiki, and tried to learn from others mistakes before I made some of my own. So, I figure if I can flash my Hermes, others should be able to do the same. And I have read up on the issues for when you "brick it", just in case.
I flashed several roms from the beginning (when I got my hermes), and learned a bunch. Then found what I needed/wanted in a rom, and spent days and days and days reading through many threads to find ones that fit me. I actually tried not to flash too much, but that can be a hard temptation to overcome.
So, just trying to pass on what has worked for me, to avoid the hard resets and such.
I would like to attempt cooking my own rom, and have read through tons of info on it, and played with some kitchens. Still working on learning that stuff, it'll give you a good appreciation of what the chefs around here do.

I found out that its because I'm running vista. I tried to view Mr. Vanx's guide but its no longer there at this link..
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=23&Itemid=27
So I am a bit stuck as I tried to do the following on here..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
With no avail. It wont even let me install the HARD-SPL as it just gets stuck in bootloader mode with the error 260.
I have no idea what to do now. This process needs to be simplified more
http://www.mrvanx.org/thg/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=16&Itemid=26
Now make sure your device is on and activesync (or for vista users the WMDC) is running on your PC

I don't have anything running vista.
I still got the same error
thanks for your help though!

It tells you how to Hard SPL your Hermes with the sd card method. It also gives you ALL the apps needed.
After you Hard SPL your phone you can use the sd card method to flash a new OS. Flashing a new OS though requires you to drop steps 5 & 6 (you don't need sspl.exe once you have Hard SPL). Just remember though that the bootloader won't recognize any sd card bigger than 2gb...
Cheers...
Thanks for that. Its just now I have a problem where my phone is stuck on the Tri-Colour screen
Did you format the sd card fat32 (they are default format FAT) and rename the .nbh file to "hermimg.nbh"?
Is the sd card 2Gb or less?
You're on bootloader, is your SPL 1.09 des? If yes then insert the sd card and reset.
Cheers...
it might be an issue with activesync
i read somewhere before that activesync 6.1 won't sync with WM6 on vista machines.
I had to downgrade mine to ActiveSync 6.0 to get mine working again.
just an idea that might work

C550 Refusing to Flash any ROM via MTTY

I've been having a few odd problems trying to get my C550 to flash a ROM of any kind using MTTY or Tera Term. I had been planning to reflash an old QTek ROM that I had on there, with one of the newer WM6.x ROMs that you guys have managed to put together. To recap, my C550 already has SuperCID, the SPL has been reflashed using Patched RUU and now reports 1.0.77 rather than the 1.0.16 or my other stock C550.
I can enter the bootloader fine and can connect to it using Mtty, making it respond to successfully to info and format commands, but when I try writing a new ROM, it just sits there doing nothing. I know it takes a while to reflash, but on my device it doesn't actually do anything even if you leave it for a couple of hours. The log looks as follows:
Cmd>l c:\rom.bin
clean up the image temp buffer at 0x8C080000 Length 0x01C40000
MTTYDownloadImage "c:\rom.bin"
:F=c:\rom.bin
start download​
The phone itself can be successfully reflashed using a ROM install package such as that of the old QTek ROM, or another T-Mobile ROM I have. The device can also be made to dump the current ROM to the miniSD card, so the bootloader seems to be functional. Which makes me wonder why this isn't working? I've tried flashing with and without the sim card, and also with and without an sd card in the handset, but it doesn't seem to make any difference.
If anybody has any suggestions of something else I could try, I'd greatly appreciate it! I had been thinking of trying to find an image dump of a WM6 ROM that I could then restore from miniSD, so if anybody would be able to that, it would also be appreciated.
Thanks for your help!

Please ignore the post above, I realised the SPL upgrade didn't seem to take until I used a different download of spl566wm6_spfans2006.nbf. Everything works fine now anyway.
Cheers for the wonderful work guys

flash

Before I flash my phone for the very first time, I need to know some things.
I know there are threads who give info, but they aren't always up-to-date or handeling about my phone.
So I want to know, I heard about a third version of HSPL.
What are the things that I need to do?
If I want to install a new rom, I first install HSPL, then the rom, but do I have to install something like a radio too? or something else?
Will a custom rom always work in my language (BE/DUTCH),
and which rom is good for texting (no lag etc).
I want a clean and smooth rom, with not much BS. Any advice?
I know it's a lot of questions, but I'm stuck with them for a long long time and I want to be well prepared.
Version of OS: 5.2.21869
Manila: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM: 1.66.404.1 (76641) NLD
RADIO: 2.06.51.07
Follow this thread step by step and you cant go wrong.
Its link you to HSPL3 and anything else you might need.
It tells you how to flash a radio (if you need to).....
It will tell you which radio you need in the thread for the rom your going to use....
You just have to read through all the rom threads to find out which one is going to be best for you...... I'd reccomend energy roms... I think they might only be available in english though. Different languages available will be listed in the rom thread...
The flash only takes 10 minutes...its the reading up first thats the time consuming part....
Hope it all goes well for you
thanks for the advice, I will follow it and read everything 10 times before flashing anything

So here are the steps that I'm about to take: (first off I saved all my data, sms, etc elsewhere).
1) flash HSPL 3
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6891358&postcount=1893
thread HSPL3 said:
Seems all ROMs based on 1.42, 1.66, 1.XX can work with 2.08 SPL without problems.*
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
My ROM is 1.66.404.1 (76641) NLD, so it seems that this is okay to do. I think I have the 'usualleo', can I check this somewhere?
When I look into RAM SIZE, it says 512 MB, and I don't know what telstra is, but I definitly won't need the last one (1024). I also think in HSPL itself, I need to choose 2.08.HSPL.
Next, I'm about to flash my first custom rom, and will follow the steps given here:
Flashing Via ActiveSync
1. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your computer
2. REMOVE SIM and microSD CARDS!! (this is a precautionary measure and is not compulsory)
3. Turn phone back on and wait until it syncs with your PC
4a. If your Rom is a .exe (customRUU.exe is already included in the Rom file) then run the file
4b. If your Rom is a .nbh file then run the CustomRUU.exe from the Roms Folder (if one isnt included then download it *HERE*)
5. Follow onscreen instructions to set up your New Rom
6. Once phone has gone through the customisation procedure then replace Sim and microSD Cards
7. Perform a Hard Reset to clear any leftover data from your previous Rom (see intructions at bottom).
8. Set up phone as required and job done.
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
I really can't find what ROM I should use..
I want a rom with landscape built in and the sms client 2016.
Are there much roms which include this?
yea thats all OK, except you dont really need to remove sim and sd. Only if you're stroubleshooting.
Plus, most cooked roms support 'autoinstall', , , create a folder on your sd card called autoinstall, put in there any cabs that are essentials, and the rom will install them as part of the post flash setup process.
as to which rom for what, thats gotta be down to you. Theyre all good, theres no such thing as a best rom, and what works brilliantly for one person makes the next person weep with frustration.
Flashing only takes 5/10 mins, you can try out a dozen roms in an evening.
Dont forget you only need apply hspl once. It will stay there till you either flash a stock from sd card (dont do this, theres no need nowadays) or you can run hspl2 (yes, hspl2) and choose your stock spl (1.42.0000 or 1.66.0000 or whatever)
can I run HSPL 2 after I firstly installed HSPL 3 for the custom rom I'm about to choose? And I'm guessing roms come packed (7z/zip/rar), need to unpack those files I guess? How do you actually start cooking a rom?
edit: I also gonna remove everything (hard reset) before I start flashing anything, so I start clean
Okay this is coming really close now:

Download Artemis 23.0 level A NLD (this I'm about to use)
I'm gonna go with artemis, but I also want a higher radio version. should I update my radio or my rom first? And how do I know which radio is compactible with that rom? the ones adviced in the rom? http://www.pilotlogic.com/artemis/htc_hd2_radio/ these?
I'm a bit confused what steps to take, in which order.
I know I have to HSPL first, (gonna use HSPL 3)
but then I doubt which to do first, rom or radio. And is it easy to install? Can I make any mistakes on this? what are the things that need special attention? thanks in advance guys, for all the help!
doesn't matter which order, except if you do rom first your phone will hang till you enter bootloader and flash a matching radio so most people say radio first.
heres how i'd do it
1 hspl3 (only needs doing once, not every time you flash)
2 enter bootloader manually
3 flash the radio
4 when it gets to 100% and is about to reboot, hold down voldown to go back into bootloader
5 flash the rom
6 allow phone to boot properly

htc HD2: I want to switch from Android build to WM.6.5 , no guide on forum.......

I installed android and it sucks, it reboots all the time, apps are useless, there are of course more things that made me want to switch but i dont want to go into details.
i almost turned my phone into brick when i installed android so i just want a step by step process on how to go back to windows mobile 6.5, and what version is recommended for best performance.
Ok I sugest going back to the stock ROM for your HD2 as you can flash it via SD card anx make everything stock with ome flash. But if you want to go with a custom ROM I suvedt any oc the Energy ROMs they are great. You can flash either of the ROMs via SD card or just put your HD2 into bootloader and wait for Serial to change to USB in the white bar of bootloader and then flash the ROM of your choice. If you flash via USB with official ROM it willnot revert your HSPL to SPL bit via SD card it will. Here is a link to tbe thread on how to flash via SD card.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=681317
ok, so i understand that i put the downloaded ROM to my HTC's SD card, hard reset the phone, and do the rest of the steps from the lik you sent.

Fist off make sure not to confuss putting your HD2 into bootloader and preforming a manual hard reset. To hard reset you have to power on and hold both volume down and up buttons down and the tricolored bootloader will appear for a brief secound but then another screen with instructions will appear. To put it into bootloader just power on holding down the volume down button and you will get tbe bootloader.
Flash the radio you want either before or after you flash the ROM. It really does not matter wich it will still preform it's function the same. I suggest radio version 2.15.50.14 as it is the latest radio version. You don't just have to flash another radio though if you don't want to. I say if you are not having problems with your current reception then your current radio should do fine. You can flash the radio tbe exact same way as the ROM using your SD card. Just rename the .nbh file for the radio to leoimg.nbh and copy it to your SD card. Or you can flash it via USB cable and your computer by using bootloader.
I checked out the link you posted. To download the zip file for the ROM you have to lick on the appropriate download link with the flag that applies to you. Let the page fully load when you go to the first page of the thread and look for the download button links toward the bottom of post #2. You will have two zip files to choose from I would say go with the largest of the two files as it will probably be the one with the start button at the bottom of the screen. I can not be certain of this though as I have a TMOUS HD2 and can not flash the ROM to check.
thanks for the reply, but i turned my phone to a brick yesterday before i read your post, turned out i didnt install HSLP (or something like that) which you need for installing new roms... immediately i went to a shop to get it fixed and luckily they had software that erased everything and installed original software
Glad you got your HD2 up and running again. I was wondering though if you checked to see if you could still get the bootloader to come up by holding down the volume down button down while powering on? Reason why I ask is you said.

I think when you flashed the custom ROM with out HSPL it ran a task 28(it is some debate wich is bett3er task 28 or task 29) before trying to flash the ROM which removed the current ROM from your HD2 leaving it ROM less. If your HD2 was truly bricked the place you brought it to would have had to disassemble your HD2 to get the main board out so they could use a JTAG on it. For that is the only way to revive a truly bricked HD2. So you see I am afraid you paid someone for something you could have done yourself. But the whole point was to get your HD2 up and running again so it is probably worth it to you. Peace
i've read what needed to be done in my sitation, and i ran into a big guide with some info about a program i needed to have fo 30 euro, it was then when i decided to go with the shop.
i had a RGB screen with some info on it, but i dont remember what it was, i'm just glad i got it fixed.
what free procedure have you had in mind?
Get HSPL back on it, Follow Energy ROM recomendations regarding radio version & get 23699 ROM Dinik from ROM repository.
With a few aditional registry tweaks this is one of the best performing ROMs put together.
My HD2 runs supurb on this ROM with over 40 aditional softwares loaded & used daily for work & leasure.
Simply blows a stock ROM away & makes Android only a SD card loaded plaything.

I installed android and it sucks, it reboots all the time, apps are useless, there are of course more things that made me want to switch but i dont want to go into details.
i almost turned my phone into brick when i installed android so i just want a step by step process on how to go back to windows mobile 6.5, and what version is recommended for best performance.

2 ways mate:
1. enter bootloader (press and hold volume down then briefly press power menu)
and flash a custom ROM
2. if you follow other peoples advice here of flashing a stock ROM via sdcard,
you will loose HSPL. or you can just flash a stock ROM via USB method and
keep HSPL on your device.
I personally recommend step 1.

What I was refering to in my other post is this. I feel like the shop probably just ran a task 29 (Google task 29 for HTC HD2) and then just flashed the stock ROM for your HD2 Wich can be downloaded for free from XDA, HTC.com, and probably your carriers website. These are all things you can do yourself. But like I said if the shop had to take your HD2 apart you did theright thing.
eh, i think they run the thing you said, so i am like 40$ lost on this... this solution should be easier to find, i searched google and xda for the problem i ran into, i typed different keywords, searched for an hour and found only some big guide with one of the steps requiring to buy a software for 20 euro. This forum should be better organized when it comes to HTC errors. Some screens and direct links to solutions.

Just an humble suggestion, users should read "stickies" before they do something to their device.
Almost all of guides, video, tutorial or references links are stickied at the beginning of the the forum/subforums
cheers
