Hi Everybody,
You've seen me posting around this forum trying to look for a Neon400 HardSPL. I don't necessarily have one, but I think I might have found a stock ROM for the phone that people might be able to crack.
I have been emailing back and forth with the Bell Corporate support team and here's what they said:
Thank you for your reply.
There is an available OS download which you can use to reinstall the software. Please see the link below:
Select MR2 Upgrade and download file.

Should you have any further question, please don't hesitate to contact us.
Thank you and have a great day

Now, that link takes you to the Bell 6900 (Touch) phone upgrade software. I noticed this and asked if my support person had made a mistake on the link she sent me. She replied with this:
I have confirmed with my Technical Solutions team that the software will work on the HTC Dual. If you have further questions regarding the software, please contact our Technical Solutions Team at 1-877-328-2123 as they will be a better resource for software related questions.
Thank you and have a great day

My problem is that the Neon400 that I have access to is on Telus, NOT Bell, so I can't see if this ROM actually installs on the phone. Can somebody please see if this is true (and possible we can use the Touch HardSPL for our phones?)
Please test! We need to unlock this damn device!!!
Nobody wants to test this? Why would the tech support people lie to me? Can somebody double check with another tech support person from Bell and see if this ROM will load on the P5310?
i would try because i am also having same problume ,no software updates for the 400 um im also with telus so i dont have a 400 bell ether someone out there gots to have one keep looking we need to unlock this phone there is so much bugs on it they need to be fixed
The MR2 upgrade file seems to be for the HTC vogue not for the HTC nike or neon.

That's what I said to my contact. If you read my full post, you'll see that she came back and said that, as per Tech Support, this ROM should work on the touch Dual as well.
I checked the CID used by the update installer - it's only for vogue. There is no way the installer will let you install this on anything else. The technical support is wrong that it can be installed on the NEON 400.
Cool, thanks.
I figured it was too good to be true.

Have you look at any of the posts in this forum??
You can only have what's available unless you know how to cook your own...
rom
i think there's one in this forum but im not sure if its for sprint tho
I figured out how I bricked my Athena. I used the wrong unlocker version.... I downloaded it out of the "Official Athena File Library" thread, It's still linked to the original version.
I'm going to try V3 when my replacement gets here, I just can't help myself
I'm certainly not blaming this on anyone else but I think that the link should be fixed considering the name of the thread. I'm pretty sure I'm not the only mornon on the internet.
Thanks for all your work Oli.
There seems to be a lack of one central location for files and radios. ie , I'v been searching for the last few days on google and yh and still haven't really found any cooked roms that would have it all. Considering that donations are a big part I do not see how someone who bricked their device due to "incorrect" file linking would donate
hmm this gives me ideas. i guess i better talk with ltxda....
Are you thinking about banning morons?

thank you lots for letting us know. i contacted the person who started the thread (part of the athena project), he's removed the megaupload link.
until your post, we've been clueless as to why so many people keep bricking their athenas.
once again, THANKS
OK, just to make sure. I have a standart X7500 with the official WM6 ROM.
Will the unlocker from the first post here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=315831
Where it says "click here to download" work with my device?
Can someone post the correct unlocker? I'm rather confused with the files and threads floating around, so with any other newbie. Although I've been flashing past devices with cooked ROM, it is only here that I am having trouble understanding the instructions in flashing or unlocking.

i don't see where the confusion comes from, wouldn't you think the official thread for the unlocker is the one that has the right file posted by its developer.
you would, but people are morons.

Quite true but after reading all the stuff about athenas bricking. You will be confused and will not know which file to download and install. It was good that this particular thread was posted. At least there were some forum members who were kind enough to upload the correct unlocker they personally used and tested and posted the url in a separate thread. Now, I was able to unlock my athena without confusion or fear that the unlocker that I got will brick my athena.
Well I got my new Advantage and flashed it with the V3. Success! I'm now running Dual and I love it. I'd like to thank everyone who worked on the unlocker and ROM.
First post, alots of great info here (I've read and read) all week)

even if it might have already been posted before
4th ? I typed in celluar south in the search engine,not alot info about them, but alot about bell,alltell,sprint,verizon etc.

That icon is for external GPS devices and is for choosing the port of said external GPS device. These settings WILL have an effect on your internal GPS, but DCD's rom will get those settings correct for you.
2nd ? I read about unlockers not sure which one (2.40 I think is the one I need)

2.40 or 2.47 is what you're looking for and is definitely where you start.

Not really, this forum basically is that as well, and is what you're doing right now. I suggest you read the Wiki and all the Stickies post at the top of the forum to get all the pertinent info.

Not entirely sure about this carrier. DCD's ROM's require a custom carrier cab to enter proper settings. These are available here:
http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/index.php?dir=carriers/
I don't see cellular south but maybe another one is similar? I'm not that knowledgeable about all the different carriers.

It's been so long since I flashed my BL I've forgotten now, but I think the original ROM will work. Regardless, it really doesn't make much sense to unlock the phone if you're not going to install a custom ROM on it. I would make sure you can get a carrier cab that will work with your provider first.
The original ROM will not work with an upgraded boot loader.... I suggest you do not upgrade yet until someone gets a dump of yer rom to make a carrier cab.....

Hi avemn1,
Welcome; the XDA Forum & Wiki provides volumes of information to assist in your quest for learning. That said, I appreciate that it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming to navigate all of this information ... sure was when I started.
Here is a quick response to your questions; should get you started
Cheers,

Essentially, yes ... keyboard layout & number of cameras may differ.

Nothing to do with Fuze; next generation HTC device. There's also a Rhodium TF3Dv2 (aka Manilla) XDA project - new Manilla /w Landscape.

Yes; you'll want to backup any personal data to an SD Card or PC.

The Radio is the heart of your cellular device. In the Raphael's case, the Radio (also called Stack) is comprised of circuitry to handle GSM, WDCMA, UTMS. The Raphael also includes Radio circuitry for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
The answers to all your questions are here all you had to do was search and read. Do not start threads like this in the ROM development forum if you must please poste them in the General forum. I am closing this thread.

I would like to be advised if it is good to update my Phone which is version :
2.6.27-a5504199
build : 1.76.66.5 146733
Soft : 1.0.0.A6288
Is this one recent version, is this usefull to update to anewer version... What I tried but not working troughout HTC.com
I know I need to root my phone, but what will it bring to my phone as rextra features or speed...
So, please give me your feedback and if it were your phone what will you do... ?
thanks for your reply
if it were my phone i'd install modacos custom rom 2.9
thanks, but what does offer it more ?
it gives you everything that it says it will in the first post of the thread over at modacos forums. or here at the forums. i believe in you, you can read all that.
yes I can read, and I've already read the topic at modaco... but nothing clear for me, and is it quicker than my original ? exept the radio update cwich give me better signal, what can I expect ???

it is way faster. and has some tools. and is rooted.
To add to what all above members have contributed , I can say that
Modaco is a master chef and adds all tasty ingridients and spices to our taste.
sorry can we just take a step back a moment? (sorry to sort of hijack this thread with another question, though related)
can someone explain what rooted means in terms of these phones?
im also new to using smart phones, great phone, though when something goes wrong its bit more tricky to sort out.

you can execute commands as user "root". means you can do everything, including access every part of the filesystem, delete/replace/alter every file. wifi or bluetooth tethering needs it for example. also droidwall, which can control web access for apps.
ok i understand that. so does that mean i could delete things like the stocks n shares app along with peep and other things i dont need or want?
Would this enable me to change the colour of the menu bar at the bottom or even the whole theme itself? if so could someone direct me on what to do?dont want to mess anything up.
but also as buzjay asks is the new update neccesary?
sorry these questions must sound so simple lol just want to make sure before i go delving into the bowls of the phone.
thanks
- yes
- yes. ask someone in the themes section who already did it or find out by looking at their themes.
- it is not "necessary". your phone does make calls without it, doesn't it?
