I've looked around, and it seems everything focuses on HTC and Cingular. All the Tmobile roms are VERY old. Anyone have any suggestion what would work well with Tmobile service in the US?
Thanks
Tmobile has no plans to release update, there is some post, where somebody asked tmobile support about that. I think branded ROMs is not so good, as cooked roms, in branded roms is many useless programs, and settings, and this roms usually is not so fast, as cooked roms...
ROM for Vario II (T-Mobile Germany) wanted!!!
Hello,
I have a big problem: During a firmware update for my vario II (Hermes) the installation has been interupted and now, I can't start the PPC anymore (only bootloader mode).
To solve the problem, I need the original Firmware from T-Mobile
(1.21.111.3), which I have to load it from SD-Card into the PPC. In wiki I found a version, but it doesn't work (unpack failure). Where can I get an another version?
Thanks in advance!
I also wanted to know what "cooked" roms there are that are good for tmobile service... and maybe those that are geared with tzones (wap proxy) internet.
I do not know why but im having a lot of trouble getting the wap internet to work right. I have tried many different ports for the proxy area, as well as leaving some blank and so on... its just not working for some sites, on my other phone i300 with wm6 it worked perfect on every site just that it had gprs only no edge.
no i get stupid errors in IE like "the requested page is too long" url= (the url that im trying) and then status=62(hex)
what is that? i never had that before, and my web gmail always worked on the i300, now i can maybe some times sign in but never go to inbox at all.
ROM that is on the phone vp3G 3.60.2 radio 1.50
im just wondering what i should get... for tmobile service here in AZ
Hi to all budding cooks!
I have links here - thanks to HTC e-Club Australia - for those who wish to download the original signed ROMS for three of the four Australian mobile network providers: Optus, Vodafone and 3 Mobile. Unfortunately the folks at HTC haven't seen fit to publicly release a Telstra-specific ROM for the Next-G network, or else I'd have a link here for that too.
The ROMs available from the links below include the radio in the package, and will install it along with the network-specific stuff for each provider.
Click on the link to start your direct-to-PC download:
Hutchison Telecoms - 3 Mobile (this is the latest one, released on December 4, 2008)
Optus and Vodafone Networks (this is the same one HTC released on October 27, 2008 - no other update for Optus/Vodafone available as of January 3, 2009)
Links also added to the Raphael Wiki Page
Hope these can be of help to someone.....
Thanks for these. Have you tested any of them
Optus / Vodafone ROM
OK I have flash to this rom and so far so good.
It's a fully unbranded rom. Not even the program shortcuts in touchflow have been inserted.
This upgrade has fixed a main problem of mms for me where I can now send and receive mms again. I could not do this with.405 WWE rom. Radio is the the stock radio and I have had not improvment here in AUS and will upgrade to .28 or .32 shortly.
No speed diffrence and you will need to redo your confiqs again or restore from backup

Only the 3 Mobile and Optus ones, and both work well. Haven't tried the Telstra ones, 'cos I hate Telstra and everything they stand for. My only dislikes are the telco's brandings everywhere on the 3 Mobile ROM, other than that they run exactly like the stock HTC ROM.
As for the radio I'm using with Optus, it's 1.02.25.32, and here in Newcastle it's clear as crystal. Send/receive MMS is fine, and SMS goes on GSM like it always has with Optus.

Great thanks. Yes I am using the Optus one as well and still on orignal radio and so far so good, only had issue restoring the backups would not reinstall the programs and settings which is a bit of a pain But the Rom feels faster after the settings applied then the orignal I had. I don't know why I could not get mms to work on orignal rom .405 I had all the correct settings and it would never send now it's like perfect again.
Will upgrade radio next as .19 always has some lagg in connecting to the network

Not sure, mate. Seeming though I live in Australia, I haven't been able to set up my computer somewhere in the UK and get my hands on a Vodafone UK edition Raph to test it. Maybe you could test it yourself, see how it goes, and post your results here.
There's nothing to worry about. Only one of four things could happen, and all of them are reversible.
(1) The flash is a failure: you brick the phone. Elsewhere in this forum are threads committed to helping those with bricked phones;
(2) The flash is a success, but you don't like the look, feel and speed of the ROM post-install;
(3) The flash is a success, but the Radio/modem isn't working well for you on your particular network, or
(4) The flash is a success and the whole thing works to your satisfaction.
Trial and error is the key to advancement. You will get nowhere if you don't try, and you always have here a number of others with the same device, to help you out of a bind if you get stuck. Great minds think alike, and as Dr. Conrad Zimsky said in 'The Core', "That's all science is, is best guess..."
cheers mate, my only worry is bricking. im new to winmo so all the flashin is new to me.

I suggest first and foremost you go to the Raphael Elite Team Thread and grab the HardSPL from there. For further instructions on how not to brick your phone, check out this thread. If you haven't already, install ActiveSync 4.5 for Windows XP, or Mobile Device Center 6.1 for Vista. Make sure you download and install the correct version for your operating system, as there are 32- and 64-bit variants.
Connect your phone to your PC through whatever Sync application you installed, then Flash your phone with the HardSPL first. Trust me, I've done it myself and it works, as long as you follow the instructions the boys have left in a text file included in the *.zip's you'll grab from that thread. After that, it's all smooth sailing. Installation of ROM's from wherever you decide to grab them is a risk each time you do it, but make sure that if the ROM's chef has specified a certain Radio to use with what he's cooked, that you Flash that to your device first then hard-reset, then Flash the ROM.
Hope this has helped a little bit.....
hmmm i think i must be missing something. ive flashed hardspl no problem but i get an invalid vendor error when i try to flash the voda rom, i thought hardspl stopped that? maybe im just a noob missing something

Try going back to the original SPL that you can grab from the same place you got the unsigned from. Then try flashing with the Vodafone/Optus one I've posted links to @top of thread.
same error. everything back to stock & nothings bricked so no biggy. i wanted the radios more than anything because i get pretty sucky reception at home but vodafone say i shudnt. oh well, no harm done a least.
Thanks for your help.
Can anyone verify if the optus rom gives access to the WCMDA 900 band that we know the device is capable of? Cheers

As far as I am aware, the device flicks between whatever frequency is available. That is, if the 900MHz band is there, then it uses it, but when the 2100MHz band is around, it'll switch to that one. I was happy with that stock Optus ROM in my Raph, using my Optus SIM card, but have gone back to the T.I.R. (PDM) one simply 'cos I like it.
My Raph is an original outright device bought from 3 Mobile - with the 3 generic ROM installed - but because I jumped from a stock Vodafone service to Optus ('cos Vodafone here in Newcastle are not providing 3G/HSDPA) I chose a ROM I liked the look of.

Hi, this is an interesting discussion about band freq's here...
I'm running 1.02.25.19 with ROMeOS 1.21 WWE and I see the following options:
Auto
GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)
GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)
UMTS(2100+800)
I'm with Vodafone. I do not experience any call quality issues, slow call connection or internet speed issues... so I'm not too sure if this changes anything considering Vodafone mainly uses 1800 and they're still in the process of running out 900MHz.
FWIW... I tried running Radio 1.02.25.28 but I did experience issues with my camera, which is why I'm back on .19
My goal will be to try to keep the roms as clean as possible and as close to OEM as possible. The attached Rom is all OEM except for the items listed in the change log below:
Code:
[SIZE=2]Base ROM Used: RUU_Raphael_HTC_WWE_5.05.405.1_R_Radio_Signed_Raphael_52.58.25.30_1.11.25.01_Ship

[*]Removed following applications: ZIP, Cyberon Voice Speed Dial, Opera
[*]Added following applications as OEMs: PocketRar 3.80, Microsoft Remote Desktop Mobile, PHM Reg Edit, Opera 2808, PIM Backup 2.8
[*]Fixed SMS time stamp on Rogers Network
[*]Auto pick network date and time enabled during setup
[*]Disabled Unknown Publisher prompt when 3rd party applications are run

Da_G thanks for your help.
Sounds like a great ROM, Im more than willing to try it. My only question is, does this fix the whole issue of when using Fido, it claims Im roaming?
Thanks!
I could be wrong...but I think that might have something to do with your SIM, it might not consider Fido and Rogers network as one (outdated SIM maybe?)
The reason I am saying that is because when I do a network search on my Fuze, it only brings up Rogers Network as the available network and I am in downtown Toronto.
I am unable to test it unfortunately.
Great work! Keep it up
My original (old, first sim card) got destroyed with my Excalibur in a car accident I got into. I have the latest and newwest SIM. I guess the whole thing is because non Fido branded handsets don't know that the Rogers & Fido network are the same, so it raises the flag but thats something software related no?
the Fuze I am using was bought from US (AT&T Branded) and I am using it with Rogers SIM...I never noticed that issue...
Can you post a few Screen shoot of this?
I'm feeling that I can request on this ROM
Let's all put our effort together and make a nice Canadian ROM.
Im not much of a cook though if u need any beta testing, im ur man. let me know and keep up the good work.
ps. Anyone wanna try releasing a rom with the BELL UI or a cab for it at least? it seems real nice.

If you have rogers then you can not see fido (no in-canada roaming, you have 97-98% of Canada's populated area as non-roaming), ld charges are still applicable
If you have Fido, I think once you are out of metropolitan areas, you are technically roaming, unless you have the extended network soc on your account (contact customer care to find out more) which will stop roaming, but not the potential long distance charges.
I know for sure about rogers, but I gave up my fido sim 1.5 years ago, so things may have changed. It used to cost about $5.
Thanks buddy. I am ordering a fuze this week and I cannot wait to flash your rom.
Looking forward to it.

Thanks. Ordered the phone today. I will be back soon.
sounds like a good idea, im gonna flash in a minute and see how it goes, will let you know if i find anything funny.
Ive been having problems trying to web browse on Rogers, not sure if its the ROM on it now or not, but i cant seem to find a fix. Hopefully a new flash will fix it.
This is by far the best rom ive used so far especially since it fixed the sms time stamp issue on rogers. The rom is stable and for some reason give me a lot better battery life with the same radio compared to other roms. base rom and functionality seems excellent for now. i believe a newer OS is out which would be a next step. Also, the color icons for the signal strength, 3G/H/E icons, etc. from the RRE HTC Fuze ROM Ver 4.5 Special Edition rom looks good and that would be good if it could be cooked into the next rom. jus suggestions to improve the visual aspects. keep up the good work.

Thanks, I will definately keep working on it as I get comfortable with things to include in the ROM to make sure they are stable, that will be my goal.
Also just a note: I have tried almost all other famous radios and have found this one to give a better voice quality (sounds less hollow, using other radios I was able to hear a bit of myself as well, 25.32 specifically)
First time the GPS fix may take a very long time but afterwards, it almost connects right away using TomTom, I think some people just give up the first time due to not good visibility to the sky etc. and consider the radio to be not good for GPS, that has not been the issue for me in and around Toronto using this ROM and the radio even through I do admit that the GPS signal is not that strong.
This is a very good mod for at&t fuze canadian user. Thanks and looking forward to updates.
A little suggestion: the version of rom is a little bit old. Why not try to cook a newer one? I think 1.95 is also a stable version.

In raphael family, only at&t fuze is a device can work on US 3G band(850MHz), canada as well. You chose 25.19 seems like a HTC retail version radio which does not support US 3G. I'm not sure cuz I never tried 25.19. Can you acces rogers 3G network?
And 25.32 seems have a stronger GPS signal.

You are welcome to try different radios as you wish, i never had issues with the one included that came with shipped rom, and yes I am on 3G Rogers without issues, if you go into the Phone settings, and look into the drop down menu that lets you select the GSM/UMTS band manually....you will see 850 there.
New Rom should be up soon

Alright so ill start this of by saying, Picked up my note today and loving it so far. Got it rooted thanks to Da G and getting ready to get into roms.
Anyway im making this thread to see if anyone else has tried anything out on the non-AT&T notes(i.e I717M and what not). So far from what i have read people are developing mostly for the AT&T model and saying its not for bell rogers or telus. Now I have been in the samsung world for a while and when it comes to my galaxy there was always ways around this.
For instance most of my ROMs were made for the international version not my bell version. But as long as I kept a copy of the bell modem on my phone i could just flash that and the ROM worked great. So does anyone have a copy of the bell telus or rogers modem for the note? or know if there all the same?
Another example in the galaxy s world was the captivate(Same soft keys as our phones). A person with a captivate could flash an international ROM as long they made a soft key fix when they developed the ROM.
One of the main reasons I ask all of this is because i see so many N7000 ROMs up and running and am wondering what will and wont work.
Look forward to hearing from you all

The only issue that I have is the Yellow Pages crap that appears in my contact list as well as at& t bloat depending on the rom. Easy enough to deal with though.
Aside from that, it's been perfect.

Also, Don't venture into the N7000 roms because they will not work.
Sent from my SAMSUNG-SGH-I717 using xda premium
The N7000 ROMs can hard brick your phone since the hardware if the two models are completely different. AS Far as ROMs go, most are based off the AT&T software simply because that's the only ICS leak we have available. But you can use any ROM for the i717 on your Bell Note. I have a Bell Note and flashed almost every ROM and never ran into any problems. Also, Ruth the help ofa lot of people on this sure, I've made stock images of the Bell, Telus, and Rogers Notes so we can always go back. Best if luck and don't hesitate to ask anything.
Thanks for the info, I get mine today and was wondering the same thing.
Yesterday I flashed my Rogers Branded Galaxy i717 with Bell Rom and Kernel and have not 1 issue. I chose to flash the rogers i717 with Bell because I use bell mobiletv and this was the only way to get this particular app to work. Again not 1 issue with data or anything else.
No Rooted device either. Just flashed using ODIN.
I'm currently running the UCLE2 Rom on my Rogers i717. I've noticed that I am not getting LTE where I should be. And GPS connectivity is shoddy at best.
I have a second i717 which is stock that is with me to compare (family member).
I am going to flash the Rogers modem to hopefully correct atleast the LTE issue. Anyone know if this would improve my GPS connectivity as well?
For a number of years I have been buying Canadian phones to use on ATT. Canadain ROMs have less restrictions than ATT. For instance tethering and NFC are not locked. Also after rooting my Roger's Note it took under a minute to remove the Rogers branding. (all except splash screen) I was left with a fully optioned unbranded ROM.
I did want to try the stock UCLE2 ROM out of curiosity but I thought it would not install because my phone was not an ATT I717. How did you install it eugenekim618? Personally I would rather wait for the Rogers ICS version. Keep checking everyday to see if it is available.
I have tried quite of a few of the ROMS on here with my Bell i717M, no problems at all so far, other than the "android.phone has stopped working" at startup, I don't know the cause but it only happens at boot.
DO NOT use N7000 roms! But all of the AT&T stuff has worked great for me.

I followed the posts in the Dev section to Root the phone.
Then installed CWM.
The picked a ROM I thought was good and followed the instructions in it's respective post to install.
I've done a lot of ROM installs for the Dell Streak I used to have and for a Sony Xperia X10.
So I am not totally unfamiliar with the process. Just a matter of getting used to the delivery method for each manufacturer. And then, dealing with the quirks of a ROM that is not 100% for your carrier. Goes with the territory, right?
I tried to read all the posts in a given thread as much as I can.
So you are saying you didn't install the one click odin stock UCLE2 ROM?

No, that doesn't work for non AT&T phones I believe. I tried it, and ODIN recognized the COM, but failed to install. From my readings, can't do the one click install on Rogers since it's not a Rogers ROM.
all custom roms should work no problem, ive flashed tons on my unlocked bell note.
its the stock odin files when you want to make sure you get the proper device.
Hey guys Ive flashed pretty much all the roms I can and some I cant lol. So far my experiances have encountered a few setbacks but nothing substantial and allot if not most of the bugs and glitchs occurring in the first & second gen of roms have been fixed or patched.
As far as roms go as was already mentioned as long as you stay away from n7000 model roms and stick to i727 youll be ok. With at&t roms I always seem to have signal and gps issues. Generally tho I find my signal problem will clear itself up on its own and I believe is actually just just caused by the fresh software 'settling in', even though my signal appears low or fluctuating speed testing always shows Im getting peak d/l & u/l speeds. If the signal doesnt seem to improve flashing the Bell stock modem via cwm always does the trick. Gps usually works great, very fast & accurate, when Im having location issues I use the 'faster fix' app from the market, I dont know about anyone elses experiance but allot of the times theres a problem the gps server isnt set to the normal 'north america pool' but servers Ive never seen before or set to an 'international pool'.
All in all besides signal headaches the only other recurring problems are the inherent and unpredictable random force closing of system apps. It can be pretty random but I find a few constant trouble makers to be at&t software update, android phone. At&t update can be disabled easily under applications in the main settings or I was able to actually remove it using 'rom toolbox's app manager but strangely not with root toolboxs remove system apps. For pretty much all other f/c problems the remedy is a running of 'fix permissions', there are a bunch of ways/apps to do it and Ive found using 'rom manager' works the best meanwhile rebooting into recovery and fixing permissions from there will actually cause more problems.
Ok so those are the most recurring and annoying issues Ive had to name a few but the list is too big to write merely because Ive tried just about every rom right from the sketchiest unstable first releases and everything in between lol so feel free to drop me line if your stuck on a problem cause I might be able to help.
But before I end this novel here lol I just flashed the new 'OnlyOne Beta2' rom from the development section and it runs great. The rom is super stable, very fast and features both fully functional S Voice app and fully functional S Notes app. If you havnt tried S Notes yet its awesome the new functions and abilities totally blew me away so I highly recommend you give this rom a try!

If you had LTE before and lost it through flashing a custom ROM or whatever then try changing your APN to your Carrier LTE network. If you never had LTE when you bought your phone, probably the seller gave you a wrong sim. tell her to give you a 403 LTE capable sim, the 401 is only 4G.

Thanks for the tip. But I got everything running again. I did have LTE to start, and have a LTE sim card. The *#2263* certainly helped. And Flapjaxxx's GPS tools in his ROM helped me get the GPS back up to par.

ok now I just lost my LTE after flashing new ROM from Seraphim Stratosphere. How did you get it back. I factory wipe everything and flash Rogers modem and it doesn't work. How did you manage to get LTE back? btw I have a Canadian Note with Rogers. the Saurom ROM was canadian and I had LTE too.

Try *#2263#
Then force select LTE, and select ALL. That should force the LTE connection. So watch the connection bars. You should see a loss of connection, then reconnect on LTE. Once that is established, do the code again, and just select automatic.

When I try dialing it, it says error can't find USSP or something like that... What does this mean?
Just to be clear that im doing the right thing. I go to the dialer and punch the code *#2263#. How do I "force select LTE"? will something popup for me to select it or should I go to settings/ wireless and networks... I don't have those options in "wireless settings", I only have APN settings...
Every time I flash a custom ROM based on 4.16.X firmware I either lose LTE (though HSPA+ still works perfectly) or the ability to receive calls. I've tried ARHD, SD, the Stock WWE, and the US DEV edition, and all of them have exactly one of those issues (it's never both). I'm currently back on ATT stock 4.4.4 ROM (3.42.502.1 firmware), rooted, S-Off.
I thought flashing the WWE RUU before flashing a ROM like ARHD would be enough to upgrade the firmware, but maybe I'm missing something.

WWE RUU indeed updates the firmware, however to the WWE radio and other firmware.
I think a couple things are going on here (assuming your are on AT&T's network):
1) A number of folks have reported call issues while on AT&T's LTE network and running WWE based custom ROMs. The suspicion is that the changes being made by AT&T in advance of HD Voice (Voice over LTE) deployment is not playing well with Euro based ROMs. AFAIK, there doesn't seem to be a fix for this, although I think some devs like Team Viper are looking into it.
2) US Dev Edition is intended to be used on AT&T's network. However, its not clear from your description, but it seems you are using the WWE firmware (radio probably most importantly) with the Dev Ed ROM. If you haven't already, try the Dev Edition firmware with the Dev Ed ROM; either by RUU or flashing the firmware separately. That is the configuration I was running until just last week (giving Sense 7 a try) and seemed to have no issues on AT&T, including travel to a couple different locations around the country.

Yeah, I'm on AT&T's network. So I should just download the dev edition ROM from HTC's website and RUU it?

If you don't mind wiping the phone (backup any personal data that you want to keep before RUU, obviously), then yes that is probably the easiest way to do it.

I just did; LTE is working, but I can't receive calls. When someone calls me, it goes directly to voice mail without ringing
EDIT:
So I actually got a call to come through. When it did, LTE went away and wouldn't comeback, so it definitely seems like an issue of VoLTE compatibility, even on the Dev Edition ROM for me.

Weird. I wouldn't think that you would have the issue on Dev Edition ROM, running Dev Edition firmware.
Can you confirm the RUU properly installed the Dev Ed radio, by stating your radio number?
Forgot to mention that turning off LTE is a workaround. But obviously less than ideal.

The radio that was installed was 1.24.21331147A1.09G_20.68.4196.01_F

I confirm that is the correct US Dev Edition radio baseband.
Weird, I've used mine (as mentioned) not only in my home area of Boston (and surrounding areas) but also while travelling to North Texas, and Washington State, and didn't see any issues. But that is by no means exhaustive. We really have little way of knowing what changes AT&T is making to their LTE network and where (in preparation for HD Voice).
You might fall back to the AT&T 4.4.4 ROM (and even the corresponding radio) to see what will happen. But that's of course kind of disappointing to fall back to KitKat from Lollipop.
You can even try the WWE firmware (4.16.401) zip. But I'd be very surprised if you get a better result on the WWE radio versus the Dev Edition.
