Calling all Chefs, Cooks and backyard Dabblers! Our newly unlocked (and VERY MUCH behind-the-times) Telus/Bell Neon400/P5310 is in dire need of a ROM upgrade. It has the memory, the GPS and cojones to be a good phone but Canada crippled it.
Can somebody help us with this thing?
Hard-SPL and stock ROM dumps are here.
Phone specs are HERE
Everybody thank Jockyw2001!!!
Oh yeah, people can place their ROM feature requests below if you like.

You'll find several of those no problem.
Waiting for the oppurtunity to wake up this phone!!
bump this thread... my friend got this phone foolishly thinking he was getting the same as mine (a vogue) but with keyboard... when I told him about the HardSPL for his phone recently he was more than happy. hope to see a wm6.5 rom soon... Myn's warm donut would be even better

well you guys have the newest radio and the only way for us to get are hands on it is for you to dump it off of your phone... the instructions are easy and in the wiki so please help the Xda hermes forum out and dump your radio!!!
You have radio version 1.42.00.00 we do not since we don not have anyway to download that radio since rogers or htc do not offer support/downloads for it yet...
I wish you posted a few days ago. I just got my TyTn, but already reflashed everything. I'll spread the word though, I work for Rogers and know a few people with a TyTn
Will ROGERS be posting any of the updates for the radio and also the settings for internet/mms?
I also have a ROGERS account in addition to my US T-mobile account (since I spend over 10 months in the US).
I have the Softbank version of the TyTN.

welp rogers as of yet has not posted anything and it normally takes about a month for them to set up support for it. guessing the phone came out about a week ago we have a little time to wait before they post and service rom for it... SO PLEASE ROGERS CUSTOMERS BEFORE YOU FLASH YOUR YOUR RADIO DUMP THE RADIO FIRST...
I doubt it. They usually only post updates, not current. You could talk to Rogers tech support (1-866-931-DATA)and see if they're of any help, otherwise i'm sure some Rogers people will get the Radio up soon enough. Keep an eye on HowardForums, there's a few guys in Toronto on there that may dump the ROM. Also keep an eye on https://www.shoprogers.com/web_auth/downloads.asp?product=Wireless
That's where Rogers would post downloads if they became available.

did you flash your ROM and Radio or just a OS.nb only rom??? check and see what radio is on your phone if you flashed one of the roms on this forum you probably still have radio 1.42.00.00!!!!!!!!
okay, but hold my hand....
I flashed my ROm , but not the radio, it's still 1.42.
How do I dump it painlessly?
I quickly skimmed the wiki and didn't get a quick answer...
that must be Nick. Alex here. I thought you'd be able to help!
i have 1.41
I assumed Rogers would be using some outdated crap, so I flashed everything with the newest i could find. apperently that was a mistake! lol

I am a US resident and an AT&T customer. I purchased the Nike on ebay and have already SIM unlocked the phone and it is working with my AT&T sim card.
My question is simple(I hope).
Which OS and Radio will work best in my situation?-I am no rookie to upgrading Windows Mobile cell phones as I have owned many.-I fully understand the risks to my phone and am prepared to face them.-I already understand that I am my own tech support thanks to the lack of support of this phone here in the US.That said, can anybody help me?

I know it is possible because I had a T-Mobile MDA and then the T-Mobile Wing on AT&T configured to AT&T's settings but the Dual isn't native to my country. I knew it would be more difficult but knew someone here, if anywhere, could help me.

i got niki off ebay as well and used it on AT&T for a few months before switch to T-Mobile. i used it with the original stock ROM and the Niki Project ROM. my signal wasn't always the best because there are areas near me that use the 850 mhz band but now that i'm on T-Mobile, everything is good.
if i were you, i'd try the Niki Project ROM. it's stable and fast.

Haha will do.
You don't need to flash the radio if you're not having problems with it. If it's not broken, don't fix it. (I read that from someone's sig)
But I second the suggestion regarding Niki Project ROM.. it's the best so far.

Hey guys, Tweak here. Guess what. Just bought a Titan. I've been running my faithful Vogue for the past year, but with my new business opening up, I really need the WifiRouter , which I have to recommend! BUT I NEED YOU HELP!!! PLEASE!!!
I want to use the BuilOS PPCgeeks Kitchen to install a custom ROM on my new Titan (of course) , but I am so caught up in the Vogue world, that I am lost over here in Titan land.
All I need to know is where to find a good ROM , preferably Alltel ROM, but pretty much any ROM , that will upgrade my RADIO version, so I can use the BuildOS ROM's.
I guess you have to upgrade the radio in the Titan, just as you do in the Vogue to use these ROMs, correct?
Also, which build , or what ROM do you recommend me trying out first.
Thanks guys. I really hope you help a long time XDA bud out here.
I have used several of DCD's Titan ROM's and I love them. BTW, I have an Alltel PPC-6800. I just flashed mine again with DCD's newest ROM 3.2.5 and I am using radio 3.42.30, with no problems yet. Good luck and welcome to Titan world.

Are you dead set on using BuildOS from ppcgeeks?
I would use roms based off dcd's kitchen only. ppckitchen doesn't seem nearly as stable as dcd's roms.
I just bought my girlfriend a vogue yesterday and we were upgrading the rom and everything. Theyre basically the same in regards to upgrading
Agree with the majority
I have to agree that the DCD ROMs have treated me the best.
I have tried the ppcgeeks Kitchen and always come back.
haha thats silly. your claim to fame is creating a thread in r&d. had to point it out
but yeah, use DCD's latest, and 3.42.30 radio. you can't go wrong.
Thanks Guys!!!
Hey guys. Thanks for the info. Im gettin ready to try DCD's kitchen right now.
And hey agaus, thats not my ticket to fame. But that is how most people on this site know me is for answering things in that thread. Everyone has clicked it one time or another.
The only reason I mentioned it here is for this reason. If a noob posted a question in here , and has very little knowledge of flashing, most of the time, the thread is completley looked over. I just wanted to make it a point that I wasn't a noob, and that I just needed some guidance here in the titan world.
Also. I miss my Vogue. I loved my Vogue. But the Titan ROCKS! The only thing that actually made me keep it was the ability to use WifiRouter. I run my laptop, my iPod touch, and everything off it. I even created an app to run along side with WifiRouter, that will allow to connect to my PS3.
Get wifirouter if you do not have it.
Thanks guys.

If you were "not a NOOB" then perhaps your first two posts here in "Titan Land" would have been researched prior to posting. I'm sorry to say this, but there is plenty of information about kitchens and w/e else. And most of which is preference to the user. The DCD roms are about the best you'll find here, or anywhere else for that matter. Making more then half of your first post about how much of an un-noob you are doesn't help your case when you ask for help. Just ask it like anybody else would and I'm sure it would be answered. Even if answered before.
Try them both out....PPCGeeks kitchen and DCD......there are a lot of good chefs......try NO2Chem his tools are great and so are his ROMS......Nexvision is great and JD's ROMS which you should know if you came from the Vogue.....try em all and see what YOU like.....that is the best way....
you can always try and step outside the box of dcd and no2chem, and try out JDs rom. he just began working on the titan again about 2 weeks ago, and i think the speed of his rom alone justifies why people should atleast give it a spin.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=32990
(the latest rom on there labeled 8-4-08 has a defect with reading sd cards. but he fixed it already in his test rom and i think a solid release should be out pretty soon)
but for your radio....why not just flash the radio only via sd? its so much easier. 3.42.50 is out now, seems to be getting a good response
Ive spent weeks researching my neon400, and the options I have with it, and I have discovered that there are no options! Or so it may seem.
I've tried to hardspl it a few times now, no luck, the sspl-nike does not work with it.
I want to know if anyone out there with a neon400 specifically has managed to hardspl thier device, and furthermore if they have managed to get any custom rom to work.
The neon400 actually has more in common with the diamond than any other niki or neon, it has a different processor chipset than any other touch dual variant, its CDMA not GSM and does not use a sim card. The chipset it uses is identicle to that of the HTC Diamond.
I think we're out of luck - the Neon400 is only sold in Canada, so people like you and me are SOL in terms of getting a new ROM.
It is similar to the Diamond, but not exactly, so the Diamond stuff doesn't work with it.
If somebody could instruct me or find some sort of hardspl developer's guide...I'd love to give it a shot.
I would even extract any info from the phone to assist some other developer. Right now, the current ROM eats up ridiculous amounts of memory...we need custom stuff!

Wow, this is rough, I have the Telus version, and I don't know how everyone else's phone behaves, but this thing's stock ROM is light years behind my previous Apache with custom ROM. It takes it close to 7 seconds to hang up a bloody call!! That's uncalled for
My girlfriend has the Telus version, she is who I'm trying to hack it for.
Her's is all right, and only that. It's def sluggish and needs a lot of the stupid crap removed.
I think this version also has GPS, which needs to be unlocked I believe.
the gps is already unlocked I have a Telus Neon 400 and it works great, mine also is solid in terms of speed and does not take 7 seconds to hang up a call. major issue for me is well i want WM6.5 so lets get cracking people what do we need to do to get a rom cooking.

So I have had my HD2 a few months now and I've been happy with the stock look and feel.
Now I would like to start trying a few of the xda add ons and roms.....
However I do not wish to blindly jump...I figured I would ask the pros here.
So I would like to move up to the newer windows 6.5.x ( not sure what version were at), with the task bar at the bottom.
So I am on the Rogers Network ( Ontario Canada), with an Unlocked HD2.
I bought it on line but was unaware at the time I got wrong unit for here, as I only have edge...no 3g ( Unit from Hong Kong via Vancouver and ACEGSM).
No worries though, as I do not need 3G as I do so little on line on phone...Weather, a little FB, Yahoo mail, MSN Mail....so Edge works awesome for me.
So if I am to flash say mainly a stock look and feel to start, where should I start?
As said, phone came from Hong Kong
OS Version 5.2.21869
Manila Ver. 2.5.19211619.0
ROM Ver 1.66.707.1 WWE
Radio Ver. 2.07.51.22_2
What would my best picks be for my unit?
Is there an Oficial HTC Flash that brings me to the updated windows 6.5.x?
Is there someone who could advise me on what way is dumb guy proof ?
I can flash, as I flashed my Typhoon enough times......but a Typhoon and an HD2 are 2 different beasts.
Many Thanks in advance for any who step into the Yoda roll here!!!!

hey man, instead of flashing a new rom why not try cht first. its an easy .cab install and truely is awesome. after you installed that, you can then go on to mod your phone with new clocks, skins....well just about anything really. cht offers a quality starting block to build upon. just a thought bud........

Many Thanks !! I will try this out first.
So I still nned to find out, is there an HTC rom upgrade to move me up to Windows 6.5.3 ??? (or what ever the latest version is )
Or is that only by using a rom from XDA?
The reason I ask is it would be nice for me to have the buttons along the bottom of the screen, rather then the 2 screen buttons and the start at the top.....my thumb is rather stubby, so getting to start is a 2 hand job
There arent any official 6.5.x roms with the bottom start button, you'd have to HSPL your device and use a cooked rom for XDA.
Check the stickies in the rom development section for all the info you need on this.
Im not gonna make an assumption as to which model of HD2 you have, if it is the american model (green and red hardkeys / big fat double chin) then you need to be aware of the radio your flashing....
Seeing as you got it from HK then its probably not that one, better safe than sorry though....
As long as you read up on the subject first and make sure your reading the correct information for your device you cant really go wrong.
95% of the "bricked" phone horror stories you see on here are down to people not doing their homework first....
You mention that you'd prefer a close to stock feel for a custom rom so probably either an "artemis" or one of dutty's roms would be your best choice....
To be honest though if your happy with the performance your getting from your stock rom then it might not be worth the switch unless you really really want the 6.5.x look.....
+1 on the CHT suggestion too.
A must have (in my humble opinion) for any HD2....
Hope that helps.......
Many many many Thanks !!! Both donwhann and conantroutman !!!!!!
I will try CHT first before a flash, then when I have read, reread, understand the steps required I will try the roms named.
I have to say XDA is an awesome place to learn....it was a godsend giving my SMT 5600 (Typhoon) new life. As my friend who now uses my old phone will tell you.
Now I will be able to keep my HD2 feeling fresh and fun, thanks to XDA and it's awesome people
Thank you greatly for the advise !!!
