Hi Guys,
I've tried to search for previous posts, however I'm finding them confusing :s
I've got a HTC Dual Touch that has an Italian ROM, I'd like to know how I can go about backing up the OEM ROM and reflashing it with an English one.
Thanks is advance.

I don't know how to backup your original ROM, but maybe you are lucky and it is already available for download in this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=373452

I've Sourced a ROM from here: http://www.megaupload.com/?d=MX5GHOXC
I've also installed SSPL-1.16 Nike.exe in my device and ran it, (to unlock it?) however when I load the boot-up page to verify its install this is not listed.
Any ideas?
You should read the stickies, there is an SPL thread that explains everything. Also search it for SPL 1.22, as it is not listed in the first post, afaik.
Good luck...

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.
Hello:
I'm sure a total newb question.
I am only marginally savvy with this sort of stuff - but I would like to experiment with some of the ROM's that I see in these forums for my AT&T Fuze (HTC Raphael).
What I would like to know is, where can I get the original ROM for my device (or backup somehow off of my device) in case I want to revert back to the "original settings".
I'm sure that I'll find the cooked ROM's here to be superior, but at the very least, I would like to know if I can reset this in the future whenever I upgrade and want to sell the device.
Thank you.
Hey there,
I'm in the same boat as you. From what I've found by searching, it can be found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=439346
However, the HardSPL instructions clearly say that you have to also get the following:
"be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!"
And that's where I'm stuck because I can't seem to find sock Fuze radio or OS. Maybe someone can clarify for us?
check out the Wiki, all of the info you need is in there. There is a table of all of the ROMs including all AT&T stock ROM's that have been released. Definately follow the instructions for HardSPL and make sure that's installed correctly before you do anything, you can brick your phone otherwise. Also, for AT&T you will need to make a registry change or install a cab file to fix the keymappings from the original HTC Touch Pro to your Fuze. Good luck, and happy flashing.
OK, so right after I made this post, I find this page...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_WM6.1_ROMs
From "Device Information", I find that one of these match my device:
ROM: 1.95.502.5
Radio: 1.02.25.32
Protocol: 52.39c.25.22H
Hurray for doing "just one more search"...

Cool, yeah, I think this is the page I found above.
And, I found the following post, which I was going to follow: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
But if you have any other specific info for my device, I'd LOVE to hear it. Bricking would be very bad... LOL!
Thanks!
[Edit] Dang.. you guys respond fast! Thanks for the additional info!

What tool to use to backup my original rom?
I am using ver. 2.73.405.5 should I downgrade it, to be able to get root access?
There is planty posts to read and I did that at first, but there is also lot off topic posts.
Thank you and have a nice weekend

sorry for posting in the wrong section.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552591
follow the guide at the bottom of that post in relation to the recovery image, its a sticky, seems it would of been quicker to read that post than write this one.
Anyone?
I have searched on here, google, wiki and still can not find any info,
I'm looking @ flashing a custom rom but want to make a backup of my ROM 1st so I can revert if needed (not my setting or doc's etc my ROM)
Is there a tool to dump my official TMUK rom
Really cant believe it is so hard to find this info ;-(
Thanks in advance
go to rom development section, find the "leo official roms" thread, first post, first link, and download it from there.
you CAN dump the rom and then use a kitchen to rebuild it, but its not at all straightforward. compared to the ten minutes to download it, dumping it is a waste of time and effort.
Thanks for the reply,
sorry if it was a n00b type question,
just thought there would be an easy tool to DUMP a phones rom, (would have thought there would be one, my bad, - not used a kitchen - yet!!)
Anyway took a dive and flashed it now,,, well happy
Thanks again.
First of all, Hi guys nice to meet you all.
I'm new to this forum so i need help to find some answer. Forgive me too be a such annoying noobie :angel:
Well short story, I just bought a nbew phone HTC radar. As i'm expected of course i'ts a locked WP7
I've already find thread related to unlock the phone OS. SPL HSPL and how to install custom rom
The problem is, i found this on my bootloader screen :
PI06100
SPL-4.6, 175006.2 (140733)
eMMC SMS 7376MB, FA31
TOUCH A1 (F:80,ID:10,V20,B:AA)
Radio-17.5006.08.27
As far as i learn from various thread, i have to downgrade my SPL become 2.05/2.5
I have already tried gold card trick and have no luck, and as far as i'm concern it no use for SPL 4.X
Now, long story short i know that my SPL shpuld be downgrade, and probably to lower Shipped rom version such as 1.07 or 1.08 and then i use goldcard tricks and hope it will work. Finger cross at least i want to try it first.
Could any one of you give me ay solution of this problem? Or at least point me to a link that contain tutorial to FLASH STOCK ROM i want to try if maybe possible to downgrade to STOCK ROM with lower SPL.
Any kind of help and solution i aprciated much.
And once again i'm really sorry for my noob question. I'm totally new to WP7. Usually i play at android section, this is my first WP7 phone, and i'm not really familiar with all the terminology.
ok guys, thanks for spaend your time read my quetion. Thank in advance for any kind of answer.
Regards
I really have no experience with this, but here are some ideas.
Here you will find a rom
