I am sure this has been posted but I have not found it. I hate my current ROM version for my sprint touch pro and want to change it. I’m wanting to try the proven rom 2.1 but am hesitant because I can not find the OEM rom for my phone. Plus I am not 100% positive that the proven rom 2.1 will work for my phone since it’s a cdma touch pro. On the wiki page for my phone it only has question marks for a link to the OEM rom. Is there a place I can download the OEM rom in case the provenRom 2.1 does not work right? Also, my phone is the CDMA version raph800. Please help because I would like to at least format the phone back to original like it was when I bought it. It would be great if I can find another rom that is better.
Thanks!
Everything you need to know about flashing cooked roms on the HTC TP is here:http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/forumdisplay.php?f=68&sort=voteavg&order=desc&daysprune=-1. Also be aware that you need to HardSPL (unlock) your TP before you go to flash it. The direct link to the OEM roms is here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=42741. Here is a poll in a thread of different roms and what they rank: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=52651. I personaly like the Juggalo ROM. It can be found here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=49341&highlight=Juggalo, but it's all about personal preference.

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.

rru: (this is based on a different phone but much applies the same here)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserROM_FlashingFAQ
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?

yes. just look on the site for the HTC rom. or try one of the many others that are out there.
Hey i wanted to flash my device with some of the custom roms that are available for my phone, but I'm not sure which roms I can use for my device. I wasn't sure if the fact that mine is the verizon version made a difference. I was also wondering if anyone knew where I can find the OEM verizon rom for the touch pro so that i can revert back to it if anything should go wrong. Also, sorry to sound like a newb, but I'm not entirely sure what HardSPL is, what it does or how to do it . If someone could clarify all this for me I would much appreciate it. Thanks in advance.
Dump your rom for backup
Hello,
i can´t help you, which roms you should flash.
But here in the Raphael Rom section, is a great "How To" about Rom dumping and reconstruction.
I also tried this, and have to say it´s realy great tutorial.
You find it here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=427507&highlight=dump
The autor is jcespi2005 (Thank you for such great Tuto), and if you follow everything step by step, then it will work 100%.
So you can backup you verizon rom and go back if you need to.
Bye
If you plan on flashing your Verizon phone you need to look under the CDMA fourms, not the GSM one. this is for the Eupore, AT&T, and T-mobile ones. Sprint, and verizon are CDMA.
As for information about flashing, go to wiki, and start reading. Lots of good FAQs there.
beware... do not flash GSM roms onto CDMA phones...!!
i thought that because this was rom development that this would also include cdma models as well. so i was wondering if anyone knew to find the verizon oem rom. i saw the instruction on how to reconstruct my rom before flashing with another rom, but i'm too worried about doing it wrong and frying my phone. i was hoping that someone a little more experience had gotten around to creating a download for it, but this phone is fairly new to verizon.
Gentlemen,
I have read a few threads on this and I cannot get a handle on how well it works. The ROM I dl'd did not look like the shipped rom, it was a windows mobile screen, not a TF3D screen. Also the start screen was different. I have to turn in this phone cause my earpiece does not always work. So please, someone that has done a warranteee turn in after flashing a new ROM respond with how the process worked for yyou. Also, which of the shiiped ROMs shoould I use fromm the raphael wiki page.
Thanks,
Scott
I’ve never had to do any warranty work on my phone but I have used the latest ROM update from HTC’s website which has everything you’re asking for in a ROM. Go to htc.com click the support tab and then select your device from the drop down menu.
Everything you need to know is located in the Wiki, search for it and follow those directions and you'll be good.

ok, maybe u are right i ain't got a fuze so i didn't need the at&t rom. still the solution to your problem is very simple.. having a fuze means you should be able to download the latest official rom either from the htc site or the at&t site. follow the steps in the thread u already found and when in comes to flashing just flash what you downloaded.
to further show u my good intentions i went ahead and found the latest official release from at&t, flash this and you won't have any problems with warranty
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519698&highlight=latest+at&t
The Process....
1. Flash the stock AT&T rom. It should include the stock AT&T Radio. 2. Flash the OEM Hard SPL as instructed in the sticky at the beginning of this forum. If you can't get the hard SPL to take then flash it from the bootloader screen. 3. Re-flash your stock AT&T Rom again to get the Hard SPL version of 1.95 that came with your Fuze. Don't skip the re-flash of the stock ROM or you will be sending the phone back with 1.90 not 1.95. May the force be with you. I'm not responsible if you mis-read the directions and mess up your phone!! I have had to do this twice now and it works perfectly.
Cheers!
Hi All,
Is there a way to back up the ROM/firmware on the phone before upgrading?
Thanks.
but why?
you do know that your rom is not uniqe it's 100% the same thing as any other rom with the same brand and same version nr
if you don't like the rom you try out you can just flash it with the same brand / version rom you got and you're back to square one
otherwise check out the wiki for more backup info
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Himalaya
The reason why I want to back up my original ROM/XDA installation is because after reading a lot of information regarding ROMs, they all seem to be customised and bloated with stuff I don't want/need.
Ideally, I just want to be able to upgrade the OS, and not have to worry about any tweaks or other programs someone has put into their ROM.
Thanks for the link, I've had a look. I was hoping that someone would already have a ROM but as you have said, a lot of customisation by the operators.
all roms here and in the wiki I linked to are not cooked the official ones like the one you already use are available too
since 2006 I´m using Custom ROMs from this Site
meanwhile i´m not flasing only my own Mobiles ,
I was never dissapointed!
....and I think you will not Missing ANYTHING from your Original ROM
well,except you have the Time to Drink a Cup of Coffee ....while waiting
for Response of the Original Branded ROM
The only thing worthy for backup..are your own Files !!
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.
