Greetings everyone,
I have a quick question:
Right now I'm using DFT 7720 Custom ROM for Mozart but I've seen that there is also YardieROM v3 out.
Could someone that tried them, tell me the differences between the two ROMs?
Also, is it possible to eventually upgrade from DFT Rom to YardieROM directly or I should go back to NoDo first?
Thanks in advance for the answers.

Short answer, not a lot! I haven't used any custom boot pictures and haven't twiddled the registry as much. My Rom is a lot more stock. Hope this helps

First of all thanks for the answer
And since your rom is a lot more stock, have you seen if the phone detects if there is a new version of the apps you have on the phone, when you go into the marketplace?
'Cause since I've put the DFT rom, I don't get any message when I go to the marketplace if there is an update available for an app I have installed.
This means that I have to check every day on every app page, if there is a new version, which is kinda annoying.
None of them are good for me, just waiting for new rom (updatable and unlocked)

although ive asked the author to make my raws into a bootable flash as i wasnt confident so we should have a chance of going back to vodafone stock is possible
then you need to consider hardspl

then a rom i really would recommend

all these answers come from this forum i would say do a bit of reading
also check out the wiki very useful
hth
thanks for the info...have you done yours yet?
yes the stock voda rom lasted 3 hours as i needed to charge it then i dumped the image hard spl then flahsed it and spent a little time setting the rom how i like it with a few extra programs
ive had a kaiser for a year now and work on a dialy basis with these phones
I had a quick look at the links...i dont even know what an "SPL" is....
is there anywhere that literally says..do this, then do that, then do this etc?
do you have the black and white HTC ROM now then, are there any quirks?
sorry to sound dumb but i have been waiting ages for this handset and dont want to brick it due to my lack of experience with flashing ROMS on phones.
thanks very much so far...
im running romeos as the link i sent u
its very good
there are instructions in the spl link i sent u on how to spl your device its quite easy:
Instructions:
1) download Hard-SPL package from attachment, extract to an empty folder. make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.)
2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!
3) run RaphaelHardSPL-Unsigned_190_1_3.exe,
4) follow steps in the RUU, check device for prompts after PC shows loading bar.
5) it should go to black screen now.
6) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
7) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 1.90.OliNex.

Dear Darren,
What exactly is/are your question(s)?
You must be a bit more specific...
Cheers.
P.S. PM me with you MSN Messenger and i will help you online.
P.SII. PM stands for Private Message
thanks for the posts to date.
As for specifics i am looking for the default HTC ROM (no amendments or additional features etc) as the carrier's (Vodafone UK) one is "not pretty"
I dont know what an SPL or RRU is so was looking for a step by step instruction on how i do this including backing up my existing ROM in case i need to return to it for warranty etc.
The last post was very informative, and i will have a look at this but i was basically looking for any help i could get.
thanks
Darren.

rru: (this is based on a different phone but much applies the same here)
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserROM_FlashingFAQ
the link i gave u for dumping an image:
also contatins this link this looks like the stock rom ?
i have passed the raw files over to the jcespi2005 who very kindly is constructing them on this thread so we will have a back up of the voda stock rom
all you need to do is to read the hard spl link in this forum
this should be more than enough to get u going
can i ask why the stock rom? why not somethign better?
I ditched the Vodafone ROM sharpish @ the weekend.. Black & White and tons better now
Lots of very usefull information here, i will review and take the decision as to whether will do this or not. As for the question about the stock rom, this was purely the way it looked v's the vodafone rom. do the other roms have additional functionality then?
My Touch Pro should be here before the weekend from Vodafone. From looking around the forum this seems to be the latest stock HTC rom.

Hi,
I am using the Vodafone UK ROM on my new Touch Pro and have installed .NET CF3.5 and Advanced Config 3.3 which has some handy performance tweaks.
Using Regedit I changed the registry as below...
HKEY Current User\software\microsoft\activesync
\Body truncation = 20480 decimal
(This prevents "TRUNCATED TEXT" in my contact notes)
Due to warranty issues and the time involved, I don’t want to flash a new ROM unless there are significant improvements. With the above tweaks I find my device runs well. What is it about the UK Vodafone ROM that you think is lousy?
Regards,
J
Hi i am interested as well to see if i can go to the original htc rom.first of all i tried installing the latest update from the htc site but my serial number wouldnt allow me to(i have vodafone branded)tried the update that a friend downloaded for his htc tp but it didnt work either.I am new at this and i dont know lots of things about flashing.utube application is a minus and maybe other stuff that i will find further down the road. if i do the above will i be able to update the rom (the one that the htc site gives) even if i use a friends of mine in the future?should i just sell this one and get a proper htc branded.thanks
There is no need to get rid of a branded phone and get a HTC branded one. they are the same phone in most cases. You just need to change the ROM. This is actualy easy to do. It sounds hard and there are alot of warnings, but dont worry, if you follow the instructions it is very simple. I have done it recently on a UK voda phone. The speed increase of the phone is amazing.
I would hartly recommend doing it.
@ Justin0679, the Voda rom was ok, but the speed of a new rom is a GREAT improvment. Makes it as responsive a a IPhone.
Any noobs have any questions I am more than happy to answer, as believe it or not, I was noe once, Well 2 weeks ago..........
Will i be able after i replace the vodafone rom with the htc to get the updates from the htc site(even if i have to wait for my friend to download it for his phone first).what are the steps?

Hi,
I have done loads of windows mobile rom upgrades in the past, however I would like to upgrade a colleague's HTC Hero rom to Andriod version 2.1 (one of the first Heros and is on Vodafone).
1) Do you know if there is an official upgrade for this now?
2) If not, is there a reliable unofficial upgrade I can do to get this to Andriod 2.1 ? If so which Rom would you recommend.
3) What guides should I use?
Obviously I expect to use HTC sync to back everything up first etc.
Many thanks
There is no official 2.1 release for the HTC Hero, check the sticky at the top of the forum.
Are you familiar with rooting? If so, you have a few very good 2.1 ROMS that work, although come with bugs.
Many thanks for your response.
I'm not familiar with rooting on the android, do you have any links / guides on how to upgrade?
Also, what bugs come with the upgrade, anything that would make it not worthwhile?
Thankss

Perhaps its wise to wait a few weeks for the official HTC 2.1 ROM.
I can't take THAT long anymore.

Follow BTDAG's guide linked in my signature,... It has all the info a beginner could ever need.
There are a few good 2.1 ROMs available now,... and many more will come in the next week or two.
I can only personally recommend Villain6 and VillianSlide as they are the only two i have played with.... But have also heard very good things about RADUG's Vanilla Eclair, and ROBIN04's AOSP ANDROBIN. But i'd hold of testing ROBIN04's until he has implemented a new kernal, cant be a long wait for that though.
Cool,
I'm going to upgrade tomorrow.
Are there any good backup tools to backup ur emails, settings and text messages then I can restore to the new 2.1 version?
Thanks
I have a HTC HD2 from T-Mobile USA. Now, I dont want that T-mobile customization including the "Stick Together" start up screen. I think I can do a ROM installation.
Also, I have SPL installed. Is there anyway to install a HTC Original ROM without installing HSPL ?
I need a latest HTC Original ROM to flash my device. Also, I need HTC Sense in it.
Can anybody give me the link to download the latest version of this?
Also, how can I take a backup of full phone to restore, if it didnt work?
Can anybody help me?
it's good that you couldn't find an original rom, because IT WILL DESTROY YOUR PHONE.
your phone cannot take ANY official roms except the tmo us official roms.
the radio in all other officiall roms is not compatible with the tmous, and your phone will never work again.
you can change the stick together screen without changing rom, but you do need hspl3 to do it.

Search for Stock ROMs in the forum and you will find HTC ROMs. You can also get it on HTC website.
You won't be able to change ROM without installing HSPL.
The stock ROM comes with HTC sense.
You can use various backup options including PIMbackup (for msgs and calls and stuff), SPBbackup for full backup including registry settings and stuff.

BUT as sam said above, a STOCK HTC ROM will kill the TMOUS HD2 due to the radio , it will brick it most likely.
So You do not Want a STOCK HTC ROM on a TMOUS HD2 ...

no, not 'any' custom rom, only roms that say 'tmous compatible'

Thank you.
I just purchased a 512Leo Hd2, unbranded SPL 1.42. Now this site has been an amazing resource. I have been thinking about flashing a new ROM but I'm not sure about it yet. To tell you the truth I don't really mind the stock HTC ROM. However, I'm dying to run Android 2.2, problem being is that my radio version is 2.06.51.07 now from what I understand that version won't allow me to run Android. And I've tried it, Linux starts to load and either it freezes or the screen slowly blacks out. I've tried the formatting and it doesn't work. So my ? is this. After running HSPL, also don't know which one to run 1,2 or 3?, will the stock ROM still be there? IN which case I can then go ahead ad flash a radio version that will allow me to run Android? Or do I have to find a stock ROM from somewhere and load that? Can I save the ROM version that is on my phone now then reload it? How do I do that? If someone c an fill these blanks in for me I'd appreciate it!
Cheers

Flashing HSPL will do absolutely nothing to your ROM. It simply unlocks the phones SPL and allows the flashing of non-branded or unofficial ROMs.
More about HSPL 1&2 and HSPL 3
Which one you need depends on your device. I think HSPL3 might work for all but to be honest I've never bothered to look at it since I have HSPL2 and it works for me.

Android works perfectly for me on my stock ROM with radio 2.12.50 For some people, the stock ROM does not work so the short answer is: "it depends". I say try a new radio ROM, leave the stock ROM alone and see if it works. If not, then look into flashing a custom ROM also. As for saving your current ROM, that's a bit more tricky, and more trouble than it's worth since you can find pretty much all the stock roms in the rom development threads such as THIS one.
If you have any other questions or need more clarification ask away (or PM me).
One more thing about flashing ROMS... Use caution and ask questions if you are unsure about something. Make sure you read and understand the threads dedicated to flashing in the links provided... Otherwise, you will have an expensive paper weight on your hands.

Hi!
I've been reading all your posts and i have a similar problem with my Leo.
I'm new at this so i am affraid to, like you said, have an "expensive paper weight".
I tried running the "FLASHAHOLIC RUU.." via USB but it keeps hanging while running task29. I then tried the official HTC web site but i doesnt work either.
I baght my device on amazon so it comes with WWE and o want to change it to Portuguese specially because of some keybord letters like "ç" for example.
Can you please give me a step by step guide so i can instal a new rom?
Thanks in advance.

Everything you need to know - about flashing the HD2 - * HERE * (to the Mods, andchange this vauable info can be made a sticky in the ROM section?)
Howdy All,
I had a look for a similair thread but couldnt find one.
I bought my wife a HD2 from MobiCity 6 months back... She straight away was having issues with the phone being slow and going through battery... So she joined up to here and we flashed her phone with a new radio and a few different ROMs until she settled on the "Energy" Rom.
Now she's having issues with it still...
I read that HTC had released a new ROM (http://www.mobilityminded.com/9951/htc-hd2-gets-rom-update-3-14-on-windows-phone-7-launch-day) and it seems like they may have finally fixed some of the initial issues.
So I've downloaded the ROM, and tonight we'll change it over.
But first I'm unsure if the changes we've already made will affect the genuine ROM going on... I got the Rom from (http://www.htc.com/uk/SupportViewNews.aspx?dl_id=1043&news_id=782).
Does the Radio Version affect it?
Sorry for the noob questions, im very new to this.
P.S. great site... keep up the good work...
-Sam
The only thing you need to do sir is removing your HSPL.
after this you can install the latest stock ROM 3.14, this will brings automatic your radio version to 2.15.50.14
Awesome... was worried it was going to be a drama....
wait... is removing the HSPL hard?

No sir it isn't hard.
Use HSPL2_RUN.exe, run it and select spl version 1.66 that's it.
