I was just wondering why HTC wants to know your mobile number when you register your phone to get wm6?
just register your Athena on HTC website.....
Yea register then post the ROM!
Not so fast...
FYI, I have a 7500 and I at first used the Dopod WM6 ROM. After the offical HTC ROM came out I installed it and I was terribly disappointed. It's an older build of ther OS, older version of Office, and the device ID had changed so TomTom wanted me to re-activate it. I couldn't since I had just activated it on the old ROM.
My advice: stay away from the HTC WM6 ROM and go with atl least the Dopod ROM, or even better, the Black Touch ROM. Be sure to CID unlock the phone first.

My device is originally Ameo which I flashed to HTC. Flashing the Dopod ROM also changed my device ID in TomTom So it is not a matter of one being "better" than the other Stick with the ROM "family" you registered initially with TomTom. Or get another copy of TT!

P.S. If you use the Black Touch ROM, be sure to read the existing posts - all of them - for potential issues and fixes.

Dopod rom is stamped with 2.19 version number, HTC rom has 2.21 version number. At least by that it seems that HTC rom is newer.
Iuse HTC rom and do not have any complains. It is fast and stabile. Never got stackd since I've installed it. I use a lot of applications, have installed 4 voip apps, mapping soft, use internet sharing. All works without any problems. Am using real VGA 128 dpi.
The HTC WM6 ROM may have a later date and higher version number, but the build of the OS is older (look at the OS version and build number) and the version of the Office apps is older as well.
I have found that the Black Touch edition is considerably faster thatn the Dopod WM6 ROM, plus it ihas a lot of extras bundled into it that you would have to install on your own otherwise (and apps bundled into the ROM do not consume program memory).
I'm having some trouble with one of the custom ROM's around here (not that it is not faster and richer than the original one but some applications are not working for me)
Could someone please help me revert to the original HTC 6.0 ROM?
I am using the 3.5SPL and so i guess this is why the HTC reflasher is not working
Also would radio version be a problem? I also have the latest radio version around; is this compatible with the old HTC 6.0 ROM?
Thanks !!

I don't think anyone has converted the official HTC 6 Rom to SPL3.5 but dheerajjuneja has slightly modified it
see here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2414269&postcount=25
If you want to go to the official rom you would have to use the spl downgrader (see the sticky links)
I think the official Roms reflash the radio so it wouldn't matter what radio you had
Why dont you try AP3
It is a good Rom and my wife has never found a need to change it

i've used AP3 before and it was a good rom.
But i'm trying to switch to something as plain and well tested as possible so that i stop having these random issues and incompatibilities (i'm on AP4 at the moment).
is there a way to revert the spl so that i can reflash the old rom?
thanks !

This is the link that Cmonex posted to downgrade SPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405604 off the rom links sticky.
Honestly if you are having troubles you put yourself at risk of a few problems reverting and I don't think it is worth it.
Use the AP3 for spl3.5 that I linked above and you should be sweet.
Make sure you remove your cards and do a hard reset before and fter you flash to make sure you have flushed all the settings that may be causing you issues.

SOLUTION n.1
1) Revert back to spl 1.2 following the instructions posted here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405604
2) Flash any 1.2 ROM
3) Flash the original HTC ROM using SSPL as explained in the same thread
ALL (SPL, RADIO, OS, SPLASH SCREEN, EXT_ROM) will be the original HTC
SOLUTION N.2
Flash the WWE SPL 3.5 HTC Rom modded from IRUS http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=390328 or from
dheerajjuneja (modded also fro blackberry connect) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2414269&postcount=25
SPL will stay unchanged, the OLINEX 3.5
Well, earlier this morning while having SPL3.5 on my device i tried to reflash my Athena with the stock HTC WM6 ROM to see what happens; normally that didn't work and left me unable to boot
Now i tried the SPL Downgrader, but i need a running OS to do that.
So i went to the bootloader, and tried installing two versions of AP 3.0 that i have to get a running OKS... The ROMs install just fine, but i'm stuck in a reboot loop that keeps taking me trough the "tap the screen to start using windows" and the AP 3.0 automatic os customization
is there a way to stop that from the loop?
how do you proceed to carry on from now on?
Also, what are the ROMS that can be installed straight from the bootloader like AP3? Maybe another ROM with no ROM customizations and automatic reboot?
Later Edit: Tried the Irus HTC WM6 SPL 3.5 ROM from the bootloader screen and it seems to be installing...
Keeping my fingers crossed
PS: I'm trying to find a thread to find out more about what is a SPL, what does it have to do with the OS and the boot mechanism in WM, anybody know a good resource for that?
OK, It seems i got there; after the Irus ROM, i use the SPL Downgrader and than reflashed the original HTC ROM, and voila !
I seem to have got the HTC WM6 ROM with 1.50 RADIO.
What more do i have to do to get "all-stock"?
Should i use a vanilla SPL1.2 installer to restore the original SPL (i think i'm running the 1.2 OliPro right now)
as a matter of fact, is there any reason to restore the original SPL?
And... is Radio 1.75 better than the 1.50 in terms of WIFI stability? WIFI performance seems to be rather bad
i need rom for htc s711
i need rom original for htc s711 version of onbl 1.25.0000 spl 1.25.0000 cpld 04
Hi all,
I've got a Touch Pro, this is the info (in red) that's on the boot screen when I start it up:
R 1.02.25.19
G 52.33.25.17U
D 1.90.00.00
Now, I'm new to hacking mobile phones so please help me out a bit.
R is the radio rom version?
G is what?
D is the firmware version?
I implemented all the speed and camera hacks I could find, to the max and the phone is stable and fast.
What I would like is for these changes to be default in the rom so I don't have to do them all over again when I do have to do a hard reset and the 3G reception could be a bit better.
Is there an update available aka has anyone here made a mod that offers what I seek? If not, how can I get it done?
Thx,
Patrick
btw. maybe this is an insanely stupid question but can the Diamond Touch rom be used in the Touch Pro without losing funtionality?
btw2. how do I customize the properties of the Touchflo "Internet" tab. There is a world globe icon, a big one, that starts Opera but I'd like it to open another url by default. Changing the homepage in Opera didn't do the trick. I also would like the icon not to be a world globe but a Google logo image for instance. How do I customize this? And again, how can I get these changes as default, so in case of a hard reset, I still have this config.

You can keep you settings by Cooking you own ROM, if your not upto that use UC or SASHMI to auto customise you ROM after flashing.
Oh, and Don't uise a Diamond ROM, it won't work straight off, it must be ported, unless someone can comfirm otherwise, Radio ROMs should work.
Thanks

Ok, Im ready for my first flash experience with this Touch Pro I hate Dutch language software and I see there's a newer version available here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael_WM6.1_ROMs
So I'm going to flash http://rapidshare.com/files/1375236...dio_FOTA_Sign_52.35.25.21_1.02.25.31_Test.exe to test how it works.
To me it seems a bit strange that the one I'm going to try has a newer radio and protocol version but an older rom version than others that ate in that list which in turn have an older radio and protocol version but I'm going to try it.
As I understand it I can't do an attempt to customize a rom as a hardspl version of the Raphael rom is not available yet, correct?
Patrick
btw. my current rom version is: 1.90.404.1 and the update is 1.90.502.2
update..... I got an invalid vender (vendor I guess? ) error. I understand why and I see my phone is still intact.
Quick point....
ROM versions are labeled in a certain way.
first 3 numbers are the ROM version.
next comes the customisation (SKU)
so....
1.90 is the ROM version.
502 is the SKU (ATT/Cingular)
405 is WWE etc.
so you have the latest ROM and the latest Radio. Although i think the .31 radio is only on the AT&T one so maybe it is optimised for AT&T frequencies.
I doubt you will be able to instal this to your Dutch device, as the CID will be different. SO i would wait until HardSPL is released before you try this. However, at worst, all you should get is an error telling you that the update is not for your device at the moment.
Yah, the error I got The phone is still ok, everything is still there.
So, anyway, no updating for now since there's nothing newer than what I've got. I gather I have to wait for the hardspl version if I want to switch to English?

I can't wait to install an english rom either, keep being unable to find settings because they are named stupidly in dutch
ok, so i am new to the windows mobile community, and i was just wondering if someone could tell me how i can run stock rom updater in bootloader mode..
Hello all,
I have a problem on my HTC Leo. If someone call me i hear a robotic voice, but at the other site they here me very good. It looks likes the same problem as the android thread only that i have this on my windows mobile OS. I already changed the radio on my Leo and i use the Energy rom for my OS. I tested already with build 21916 and 24634 but no difference. Does somebody know how i can fix this problem? It looks like the problem is only when my Leo is on vibration and flat on the table.
Thanks for your response

I changed already my radio, but Win Mo i flashed with different builds and updates from energy. He have two builds of Win Mo, i think Win Mo 6.5 and Win Mo 6.5.3.
I'm now testing again with the energy rom. But what i did different is that i format the phone with the task29. I installed the latests radio rom again 2.12.xx.xx. Hope now it works, else i must look an other rom.
I keep you posted.
I still have the same problem. It looks like I have it the most when my phone is flat on a table. Maybe it is the G-sensor. I did not test an other ROM. I updated my radio rom to the lastest now but still. I'm looking now to test an other rom that have a little the same options as the Energy rom. I like this rom so much. Or maybe I must use the android version but I'm scared that it drain my battery to fast.
If some people have good idees let me know.
Thanks.
Have you tried tmous stock rom v 3.14 with radio 2.14?
Sent from my hTC HD2 running NexusHD2 FRG83 v 1.2 using XDA app
maybe the problem is with tmous because i have an European phone.
My specs:
HTC HD2 T8585
OS Version: 5.2.23138 (23138.5.3.9)
Manila version: 2.5.20183025.0
ROM version: 13.Sep.2010 WWE
ROM date: 04/28/10
Radio version: 2.14.50.04
Protocol version: 15.42.50.09U
From my experience, radio 2.14 is not compatible with most android build. The issue is the robotic voice.
Sent from my hTC HD2 running NexusHD2 FRG83 v 1.2 using XDA app
Ok, but i don't use Android its windows mobile. I think I have this problem since I flash the radio to a Tmouse version I think.
Now i changed my radio today 2 times and tested it. It is still with a robot voice. Then I installed the new Energy dutch Rom (before I had the english ROM). Still it helped nothing. I test and now that I think it only happens when there is a lot but a lot of noise on the background on the other line then I get the robot voice. If someone call on a silent place its no problem. What can the problem be???
I tested now this ROMS,
R2.08.50.05
G15.34.50.07U
D:2 Energy G8
R2.14.50.04
G15.42.50.09U
D:2 Energy G8
Its strange that no other person have this same problem.
Thanks for the response.
Try Flashing a stock rom?
no i didn't try that yet. With stock rom you mean the update roms on the HDC website with Rom Win Mobile + Radio? If I flash my HD2 like this do I lose then my HSPL crack?
Thanks for your response
What do you mean by stock rom? The original rom from HTC?
Will it effect my HSPL? Can I ever flash again the rom?
I have the first HSPL, will it better to put HSPL2 on my phone?
Thanks for your response.

So then i installed the ROM RUU_LEO_1_5_TMOUS..., the rom is now installed and I tested 4 times, all looks ok no robot voice for now. But this Rom is from T-mobile with a lot of crap on like blockbuster, amazonmp3, mobtv and what else. Also I miss already the other futures. If I update now again to Energy can it be again the Robot voice or not? Or do I need to use a costum rom with 3.14 driver?

You're welcome. Always glad to be able to help.
I personally like the stock Rom better because it maximizes the settings for the particular network you're on. I could understand why bloat ware could get on your nerve as I also don't like all the custom wares included with custom roms. I've personally have not tried chucky rom but I've seen a lot of users out there with good feed back on it.
To answer your question to whether or not to try it, I would say go ahead. I honestly have not heard of robotic voice issue on any custom hd2 roms as it is made for and from hd2 Rom.
I would suggest you trying both and see which one works best for you in overall experience. Let me know the outcome of both energy and chucky roms after you try it.

Hi, i have to know if updating my ROM (1.43.206.4) to 1.72.206.3 from HTC website can affect the phone being unlocked. I would also like to know how to upgrade my Manila from 2.5.1920 to a better one that supports Sense in landscape.

Your Manila version will be upgraded at the same time you upgrade your Rom if it is build in! not every Rom Upgrade have a new Manila version, but the majority have. Way not take a cooked Rom thy have the latest manila version?

@ Kurt Willems
Thanks for your answer but when i said unlocked, i meant that my cell is already "unlocked" right now (using another network in India). What i need to know is whether the ROM upgrade will "Lock" it back to O2 since the upgrade that i will use reads:
ROM Version:1.72.206.3 for O2 only
NOTE: This update is for O2 UK devices currently on ROM version 1.43.206.4 only. Users with devices on ROM version 1.48.405.2 please click here (on the official HTC site)
So will this upgrade "LOCK" my phone back to O2???
and I guess i should ask a complete question.............please tell me which ROM to go for apart from the one mentioned above............i dont wanna brick my HD2
The complete specs are as follows:
OS Version 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
Manila Version 2.5.19202525.0
ROM Version 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE
ROM Date 11/06/09
Radio Version 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version 15.26.50.07U
Okay, I sea more clearly now what you mean.
unfortunately I don't have a idea if it will lock again your device. In Belgium we don't have locked device so I don't have experience on this.
And I will not give you a wrong information.
Sorry!
no it will not re lock your device. Once unlocked, its permanent.
yes you can change the o2 splash screen. flash a different rom (some cooked roms dont have them, some do, all oficial ones do, flash a t mo one, you get a tmo splash, flash a generic htc one, you get a htc splash) or you can make your own, see my sig and many threads like it.
@ Kurt Willems and Samsamuel...............thanks a lot. There is one more thing that i need to know; i read somewhere that a wrong radio can damage the cell bad........wanted to know if the following Update would work on My existing ROM:
RUU_Le2_UK_1.72.206.3_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship (this is the ROM update file)
Existing :

ROM Date 11/06/09
Radio Version 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version 15.26.50.07U
your current version tells us that you do not have a 'tmous' hd2, so you do not need to worry about the radio bricking your phone. That only applies to tmous hd2s, you have a 'regular' hd2.
