Before rushing to update... - HTC Tornado

(solutions needed)
- The ROM update erases everyting, no backup solution for tornado yet
- No unlock (old registry editor blacklisted)
- no stereo headset bluetooth support
- no return (cannot downgrade to previous version)
better to wait for some feedback?

When you say "no unlock" are you talking about not being able to application unlock the phone? Because if you are, that's not true with the i-mate SP5 and SP5m updated. They can be application unlocked in the same way as with the previous (pre-AKU2) ROM.
But yes those other things are frustrating. Especially the lack of A2DP. Hopefully we'll get another update for that soon.

Can you not re-flash your old rom back over if you have it?

i-mate SP5m:
- PIE is way, way better. Much more responsive, faster loading and you can scroll by page. Oh, and frames support (well, as far as there's a need for).
- Better powermanagement since the screen blacks out quicker in some situations.
- Unlock is no problem at all. Just like the previous ROM.
- WiFi can be on all the time or shut down after a certain, user set, time.
- Push email is usefull when using an Exchange server.
- RNDIS or USB ActiveSync. AKA you can sync in the oldfashioned way. Much, much quicker when doing a first sync after the upgrade.
- i-mate will release a utility to control the keyboardlight and leave it on longer. This utility will only work with the new ROM (registry settings are not available in the old ROM)
I'm sure there are more points that speak for an upgrade. No A2DP, that's dissapointing. But it seems not to run well on the current Smartphones so it most likely will come available with AKU2.2 end of this summer.

I've upgraded - it works and it rocks. Will post impressions if I have the time.
Note: this will not work if your computer is 64 bit or running windows 7. My laptop is both so I had to borrow my roommate's laptop...
Note: I've also posted this in the 'samsung jack hacks thread...'
I have the Samsung i637 in Spanish from Telcel.
Does it work with the upgrade?
Help, I upgarde my phone to WM6.5, but my original OS was in Spanish and was from Telcel company (Mexico).
It Change the layoout of my keys, my applications, etc.

I have no idea. I have an AT&T Jack and it worked fine.
From the update page's FAQ section:
"# Will This Upgrade Work With Other Samsung Mobile Handsets?
* This specific upgrade is on for the Samsung Jack for AT&T. Any attempts to utilize this upgrade tool could result in a failed flash, which could potentially void the warranty."
Ok, some quick impressions:
1. ITS FAST. The sliding panel interface is much faster. Its incredibly smooth.
2. They've fixed the T9 bug - yay!
3. EDIT: Flashlite is included and works. Its slow and extremely jerky but its there.
4. ClearSecurity etc work flawlessly
5. ChomeConfig works. As do all my usual hacks - clockontop, vito copy/paste etc. I've managed to re-configure both the navigator and 'medianet' buttons using total commander.
6. Marketplace is SLOWER than the build (?) I had on my 6.1 rom. Its annoying, but not much. All my apps (including agenda one, which I paid for) are still there and working.

When I tried to reload ChomeConfig, I found it caused the panels to run so SLOWLY. And it had a couple glitches in it. One of the collapsed panels would just dissappear, turn invisible, or something. It would reappear when it was the main panel, but the collapsed one was just gone, like a placeholder.
I uninstalled it, and it works fine again, fast as ever. You didn't have these problems?
Also, did you find a way to use the Titanium that some of the HTC guys are running? I'd be curious to give that a try...
Can someone dump that ROM to RAW?

Maybe someone can DUMP that ROM from your phone to RAW files so we can dump the ROM files?

[ROM][V0.2d][13-sep-2010] Froyo 2.2 MotoBlur for Milestone

I have now more success with the Froyo 2.2 MotoBlur(Milestone 2) port to milestone but it required a more technical approach than just lib replacements here..
Most features seen in MotoFrenzy is also shared here. both good and bad ones. Battery wise this image offers utilities to manage wifi inactivity and battery training policies.
I feel that the features found in the MotoBlur, justify a more proper release, than initially, as Battery management and scalable widgets seems like nice features to me.
You can follow updates on Twitter now: Dexter Picard (DexterPicard) on Twitter or

Current state of this release is:
IssuesPartly based on milestone 2 release version.
Fully deodex'd rom (requires little more memory, but is sufficient in Motorola phone environment)
* It should noted, that Milestone 2 comes with 512MB RAM, which might for more hours become an issue on milestone, if froyo2.2 memory management handles this badly.​WorkingMotoBlur Froyo2.2 functionality fully working.
Languages supported (enabled) Dutch, English , Spanish, French, German, Italian, Portugese
Data icons fixed (E/G/3G/H) is now shown.
Phone calls / Mobile data
Picture editor works.

​Not working/testedAP Wifi (not working). (Teether app included for now)
Camera/VideoRecorder (Focus problem)
USB (auto detect problems, hotfix will be released when working.)
BlockBuster DRM movie viewing
Backup services (work only with a valid Verizon sim-card)
​apps removed
MyVerizon
CityID
Boot animation (took 4MB of system space, added QuickOffice instead)
BlockBuster application
Firewall service (missing libs in original stock firmware, might be on purpose it's removed)​2.1 kernel limitations
As with the other 2.2 releases, these functions are limited due to missing kernel upgrades on our milestone.
Full RIL support cannot be implemented as driver is officially not available.
Camera kernel requirements for focus.
Native Apps2SD in settings.
Swap? (we could only hope)​
Bugs certainly exists, as this image has many builtin functions, so if you find any, report them here, and ill look at it.
just try it,phone have no sound.....
but still smooth,does this overclocked??
how slow it is? It can be overclocked?
Downloading
This has been officially dropped now..
the Droid2 uses a different RIL driver handling using a socket for commication which out milestone currently does not support. so there is no chance of having drivers from any current firmware on milestone to run with the droid2 firmware.
you can get it running, but no audio on phone when talking, if you do see it running but calls are dropped, "ro.mot.eri=1" should be disabled to 0 if you wish to pursue testing it.. if it appears slow, you need to disable the "TtsService.apk" in the /app folder, and its runs optimal.

Glad to hear you're going back to focus on Frenzy. I have pretty much zero interest in anything else until I have Froyo running on my Milestone properly. I'd be running it already if the camera and native A2SD were working.

you will have to wait for an official, as the kernl is all our problem here in regards to camera, which i have no idea on how to solve unless the droid 2.2 kernel gets out, and its can be extracted from this, so we know how the device should function for us.
i admit to not being able to fix camera or Apps2SD as it looks right now, as no kernel provides the solution we need.
At this point, my hope is that the people working on the Droid X find a way to circumvent the bootloader. In turn we could use it on the milestone.

My point exactly too, i've been chasing up on the developers over at alldroid.org and at koushikdutta.com/ who both are developing ways to circumvent the bootloader. They said that there work couild be easily ported to our Milestone considering our phone uses the same locked bootloader as the Droid X. They have said that they will be releasing a version of Froyo tomorrow so I think it would be a good idea to see what there work involves and see if we can apply it to our Milestone.

So, when can we have a first hand feel of your art-piece?

Hmmmm it seems that the Froyo image that will be released today for Droid X is actually a Leak. Therefore, it most likely will not imply circumvention of the bootloader.
Shame. Well, we will know for sure in a couple of hours.

droid2 is a better match for our milestone, driver wise as well.
So i would not get my hopes up for droidx to be just as good port.
But with my changes in MotoBlur so far, its getting much better.
I have not updated thread here, but several fixes are added, and im trying to get USB activation working, so thats not an issue, which it suddenly became last night.. Testing is good!
Excellent job Dexer! Thanks so much for all your efforts.
Have you found a way to circumvent the Kernel problems with the camera and app2sd or is that still a dead end?

you hit a soft spot here, but no, with the protection motorola put on the kernel, and the fact that apps2sd functionality, swap, and the camera focuc driver is tightly integrated, and second we dont know how the focus driver works at all.
the official kernel2.2 for our milestone needs to get out, or maybe the droid 2.2 kernel source. but lets see how it goes..
Rumours are September, so lets hope it holds water...
First release v0.1 is now available online.
Mirrors will be posted, where i find the space to put 125MB.

Help! Cm6 rom is so close to perfection :'(

Once again I am here seeking the help from developers for my phone. Which is not the XT720 (XT701 instead), but I really don't know where else to turn.
I was restless again, so then I went and started looking for roms. I found this one:
Speed XT701 2.2.1版 beta7 搞掂wifi
This is really new and is running CM6 based moto blur extremely smoothly. Search on google and click the first few links to see the interface. Amazing as always, the CM roms. The touch sensitivity is ON PAR with the Iphone 4. I was so glad that everything was working - Camera, SDcard, SERVICE, SMS, CALLING, all working so perfectly. It was completely different from the CM 7 mod.
And honestly, It really seems even faster than the CM7 rom. I read from the translated description that it is using "smart200mhz to 600 mhz" processing for superb battery and so on. It really does have a lot of attractive features and usual and completely destroys the 2.1 rom.
Now comes the horrible, devastating part. No wifi. .
I did the 3 wipes, updated, and 3 wipes again, and it still had no wifi.
Right now I'm really leaning towards sticking to this rom. My solution is to keep my backup of the 2.1 stock, and nandroid over to it when I need to so that I can download new apps, back then up in SD, and then nandroid back.
Can anyone please help me figure out how to get wifi? I'll donate from paypal if someone can help me resolve this wifi issue. . Just terrible, this problem. So close.

...what's that supposed to mean? I've never had a problem EVER with the phone registering my touches and my touches can be me barely touching the screen (i.e. I can't imagine how anything can actually be better than that).
Maybe he meant responsiveness of the UI? Just a guess. And yes I agree the touches on the phone is already very good in your sense.

For the touch sensitivity thing, I'm pretty sure its because I'm running 2.1, which is why the IPhone seemed faster with tracking my finger movement when I compared them side by side. The XT701 itself is already blazing fast, because I'ved used overclocking, setcpu, and memory manager, but then when I upgraded to this rom called the "speed beta 7" it was just overwhelming. I've never seen the phone so reactive.
The rom is a CM 6.1.2, android 2.2, so it would explain everything so much faster. I always thought I couldn't get the phone to be any faster, but this rom proved me wrong again.
Here is the link to the rom. I'm also going to be copying and pasting the post that the developers have along with the rom. It's going to be translated from Chinese into English, so it'll be rough. But you'll get the jist of what its saying.

I nandroided back to my stock rom again =/. Apparently this Rom has close to daily updates so I'll wait a while. They started releasing it on the 7/18 and they're already on beta7.
Statement: As a consulting 2.2 version of the oil, therefore continue to provide useful new 2.2 ROM.
This ROM is not my production is transferred from the other forums, but I have used ever measured, easy to use just made up, hope you like
Version of the return to original author, has nothing to do with me ~
Mod Description:
This Mod is based on CM6.1.2 production, with Moto-style 2.2.1 version of the official 2.1 ROM, with a great memory, experience, ensuring smoothness and stability, and has a very strong memory recall mechanism.
And with improved functionality and greater ease of use, without adding redundant features.
This ROM native support APP2SD, support both computer and cell phone card reader (connected to a computer can not afford to card), NICAM excellent results.
CPU clocked Smart250Mhz to 600Mhz, power efficient correct, let your XT701 has a stronger fighting at the same time have sustained life.
ROM renamed Speed ​​XT701, translated as "rapid XT701", reflects the ROM features.
This Mod is currently only for a kernel customization, the future will be to consider other kernels, so there will be more than one branch.
Please note: Some functions can not achieve because the kernel is the reason, in the absence of perfect Neihe 前, Mod can not solve the problem.

Goal: present the mod of the already chaotic, mod rarely have their own style, hope this mod will enable students to experience the same as 2.2.1 to 2.1, and so restore the Moto mod style.
Known issues:
1. WIFI not dynamic;
(2) some special encoding video black;
3. FM is still not available;
4. Can not call recording;
(this part was in white text. I don't know if it means that its fixed or not. Because it does say that in the latest Beta7 wifi was fixed thanks to S or something)
(Note: points represent the normal running speed, running sub is the ultimate performance of a test, therefore, the common run from high up poor, but the machine is running;
For example: run the software needed to run sub-use lots of memory, ROM memory recovery efficiency is poor, will result in greatly reduced running speed after hours, but had no effect on the running sub-
So the actual speed will depend on the. )
Recommendation: To maintain the stability and speed, it is recommended to remove the JIT, of course, affect the reserves is small.
Recommended with the software: automated process killer from Kai Butler

Everything it says is true. It is fast as hell, no lag. The ONLY thing which is stopping me is the wifi, which bugs me even more, because it says here that Beta7 FIXED WIFI. I don't know why my wifi doesn't work!
interesting. I wonder what will happen if we apply this update to the running cm6 on xt720
Becarefull this could have a custom kernal that could bootloop or worst.

Really? I've been using this so far it's great. I've never seen my phone be so responsive ever. But there is still no Wifi. Everytime I try to connect it says, Connecting, and then Disconnected. Because of that I haven't even logged in with my account. No wifi causes the phone to run even smoother, cause a lot of background apps aren't runnning

I just had a similar problem on the XT720 CM6. It turned out that wifi actually was working, but DNS lookup was not (I could use static IP in browser). I fixed it by replacing /system/xbin/busybox with a known-good version. You can test busyboxes with something like copying it to /tmp/busybox and then running (either via adb or terminal emulator):
/tmp/busybox nslookup android.com
Could you be a bit more specific Mioze7Ae. I have the busybox app; I don't think I have the terminal emulator. But I still don't understand what you mean.
I have Busybox app installed, and it says the "Status: Done!" after installing 1.18.4 :S.
As for the terminal emulator, I've heard of it but I don't have the app. So I install the app and then type that in the emulator?
EDIT: I just downloaded some Pro term emulator app. I turned on wifi, and then I typed in that code (cept I put xbin since I only installed it there) and it said:
Server: 8.8.8.8
Address 1: 8.8.8.8
nslookup: can't resolve 'android.com'
What does this mean? cause It just seems to me that my Wifi is still not working. Also, I've been seeing DNS around but I have no idea where to find it in my phone. Or DPN, something liek that but all I have in the Network settings is VPN and proxy, which is at default.
On a side note, could anyone help me find a working zip folder of Google apps for XT701/XT720/CM6? In the past I've installed them manually on android, and I've tried to use OR to flash the apps into my phone as well.
Look in the cm7 for the Motoroi thread & around post 50 there is a link to the cm website Google apps updates
With wifi connected try using the browser to go to a website via ip address instead of name. For example http://50.23.231.74/ worked, even though http://xda-developers.com/ did not. If ip addresses don't work then probably you have a different problem.
My problem right now is that I cannot even connect to the router at home (or anywhere else). It just keeps saying scanning connecting, and then looping back to scanning.
Sad thing is, just today I flashed another CM6 rom by the name of update-cm-6.1.2-XT701-Milestone-signed-by-s.zip today, and wifi worked. But then, a ton of other things stopped working so I nandroided back.
It just doesn't make sense that Wifi wouldn't work for some and not for others. I am still way too unexperienced for android.
I found it from this website, http://xt701.ghostry.cn which is sort of a jackpot for me. It has the latest releases of ROMS from China/world all uploaded onto that site. I don't know if it will be much help for XT720 developers, but that site is extremely updated.
Another slight problem which I am also overlooking for the sake of Speed is the LED being unusable. I always relied on it when my phone was on silent for texts, but now It is just gone. Any ideas how to get it back=/? Thanks for your input anyways!
So wifi is still not working. I've been reading around that it has to do with the Radio img??!? I don't get it.
I do know that this ROM doesn't have a FM radio yet, but I don't know if it has to do with my wifi.
I also tried replacing my tiwlan_drv.ko with other versions of it, but it ended up in an Error. Is it possible for me to flash a CM6 rom with a working wifi, copy the tiwlan_drv.ko file from there, and then use it on this current ROM that is not working? Like using root explorer to replace the .ko with the other roms one?
Sigh..
is this thread closed? nobody from august? i donwloaded some roms from http ://xt701.ghostry . cn and now i will install to my XT701 and see if any it's working so I can have android 2.2!!!
As long as you have xt701 your good to go.

|ROM| ~[lead rom]~ | 7.10.8862.144 (7.8) || 4.22.13 | [GOLD_C]

I realized that each of the custom ROMS for Gold_C I've tried so far seem to have one issue or another, simply because they are ports from other phones (7 Pro). This is most likely because all those awesome devs/chefs don't have the GOLD_C to test with. This is my attempt at a ROM for the HTC Arrive (GOLD_C):
Some features:
- PRL update and network profile update working
- ## dial codes working
- Internet sharing
- Static MAC Address
- Extra accents colors
- Search key with default setting/compatible with search key settings
- Full unlock
- Tango
- Performance tweaks and fixes

Hit THANKS if you appreciate me sharing this ROM. : D
It's a good way to motivate me.
DONATE if you appreciate.
It's the best way to motivate me.
Thanks to ultrashot, cotulla, and all the other great devs who made all this possible.​
Awesome, we've been thirsty for some poizon since WM6.5.
waiting for this rom
Thank you so much! I am ready to download/test it when it's ready!
So ready for this.
YES! finally a chef with a gold_c to test with! Can't wait! I needs me some ##codes lol.
This is great news! I've been looking for a dependable ROM to put on my Arrive! I was really close to flashing ansar's Gold_C ROM yesterday but changed my mind last minute.
I used to be a flashing fanatic back in the WM6.5 days with my Touch Pro2 and it's nice to see some chefs step up for the Arrive! Subscribing to this thread for sure! :good:
Holy Crap.
Lead, I remember using your roms on the tp2 and you are without a doubt the man. I cant wait to test this rom for you. If you need a beta tester let me know. I have an extra arrive (with no data for now) that I can test with certain things. Let me know. Just please dont pull an ansar. lol. I know, I know cheap stab. But this rom would be a miracle. As stated b4 I don't mind beta testing. TIA, you are the greatest.
Thanks for the support, folks! Rom has been uploaded in two parts. Please keep in mind that this a first release and I an the only one who has tested it. I will take up the offer of the awesome folks who want to beta test, for the next release. Positive Feedback welcome as always.
This is the beginning of something beautiful!
So far, so good for the 2 hours I've had this ROM
Network and prl updates work fine...I haven't poked and prodded at it otherwise yet but will tonight!
AVG flag
1)Did any1 else's antivirus throw a flag when downloading the second part of the rom?
2) What is the second file for? Is the first part the hspl/ rpl?

Rest assured, I have better things to do than infect peoples computers with viruses. The ROM is over 300MB. Mediafire has a limit of 200MB per file, so I had to split it into two files. It's a self-extracting .rar file, so the first .exe needs the second .rar file to extract all the contents. AVG flagged it because it probably saw a .exe within the archive and considered it suspicious. It's all safe, but don't take my word for it. Try it out, and hope your computer doesn't get infected.

Complete misunderstanding. I know the file is clean but the page had some kinda trojan when I opened it up. Anyway back to the good stuff. So I do the hspl/ rspl first then use your first rom update utiliy with the first .rar... then the second will automatically extract? or will it prompt me asking where the file is? I am amittedly slow. Dropped on my head as a kid.
There wont be any problems if I flash straight from ansar's rom, will there? I have the HSPL on here if that matters.

Ah, and I'm sorry if I sounded mean. I didn't mean it in a mean way at all.
1. Use the DFT utility to load the custom bootloader (rspl/hspl)
2. Load your phone into bootloader mode (tri-colored screen) and connect it to the PC.
3. Click on the ROM .exe file with the .rar in the same folder.
4. After a few seconds (of extracting in the background), The ROM will start to verify the device and start flashing.
Regarding the Trojan: I'll try to use my SkyDrive or Dropbox for future releases, because those ads and trojans can be annoying.

Yeah, going from another custom ROM should be fine, as long as you are on the GOLD_C (Arrive)
Oops...I just figured you had given the option of an exe or rar file type so I ran the rar file and flashed the rom!
Weird because it does say 8779 in settings and everything appears to be working fine...hmmm...guess I'll start over...
I've only flash ROMs for the last 6 years or so...need a brain check...
Is there any other details about the rom? Such as, IE .XAP install, Any included apps, list of tweaks, list of bugs, ZUNE backup/upgrade capable?
I just finished getting a replacement phone (impailed my old Arrive Sunday. RIP good fiend) and just finished getting this phone all setup and realize I really need that 32G upgrade. I really couldn't give a hoot about the PRL stuff since I don't have any signal issues, but if this rom has any benifit over the Asnar one, I might as well jump onboard.
Thanks for the hard work! I'll be eagerly downloading and installing this as soon as I get home from work tonight. If you need another beta tester, I have a spare handset I use for testing/developing/spare parts (but no active service contract) that I would be glad to use for testing new ROM builds too.
Hey, so on the HSPL/RSPL page, there's that warning:
WARNING TO ALL:
Do NOT use RSPL / HSPL with Mozart 4.XX and other RUU ROMS with MANGO.
All WP7F devices affected: MOZART, GOLD, SCHUBERT, MONDRIAN, SPARK!
It will damage your device. Not a joke.

I've got Mango on my Arrive; does this warning apply to me? Do I need to switch to an earlier version before starting this process?

[ROM SPARK_W][13-OCT-2012] XevRev Tango & 7.8 (based on Dynamics7 1.21) Beta 1a

This rom was last updated on: [13-Oct-2012]
This post was last updated on : [13-Oct-2012]
This rom is ONLY for Spark_W, or the HTC Trophy 7 on Verizon Wireless. If your Trophy is for ANY other carrier or unbranded, this rom WILL NOT WORK on your device!
This rom requires DFT HSPL for First Generation Devices V3 to be installed. Please read this HOWTO for more information.
I am happy to announce the official testing phase of XevRev for Spark_W. XevRev is based on Dynamics7 1.21 for HTC Titan by ultrashot. This is not a straight port of Dynamics7, and it features a few slight changes to allow for better interaction with the Verzion OEM, and one significant upgrade over Dynamics7 1.21.
To read a full list of features, checkout ultrashot's thread for Dynamics 1.21 for HTC Titan!
The big features for Spark_W owners are as follows:
-FULLY PROGRAMMABLE! FACTORY RESET IS mostly SAFE TO PERFORM ON PHONE! For safety's sake until I complete some more of my own testing, do not program the phone until a few mins after you reach the tile screen. Default programing at first boot is currently disabled.
-ultrashot's Unlock V3, with newer version of Xap Deployer.
-Based on Verizon rom, not ported from Spark Euro.
Key differences between Dynamics7 vs XevRev:
-Xap Deployer has been updated to v1.1-upd1, this allows the rom to be fully programmed with full unlock. This includes if you factory reset! You do not need to program with a stock rom anymore! YOU SHOULD THANK (and donate as well!) ULTRASHOT FOR HIS HELP AND INPUT FOR KILLING THIS PAIN IN THE BUTT BUG ONCE AND FOR ALL!
OEM packages are still Verizon, minus bloat like Netflix, Photo Enhancer, and Slacker Radio.
Nokia theme as been removed, since it overwrote the Verizon OEM theme. I might add it back in before V1, but for now its gone and it won't be the default option if I do add it back in. Verizon's OEM packages are highly integrated vs the standard Spark Euro packages.
Only US English will be available during testing. I will add back all packs that come with rom (plus request) after testing is completed. Do not request a rom language in this thread, please private message me and I'll make sure it ends up in the International version. I most likely will make an Asian version of this rom too. *edit 13-Oct-2012* I still need Japanese and Korean packages, please private message me if you know where I can obtain them.
Removed Russian mail.ru packages. These will be added into an international version after testing is completed/. *edit 13-Oct-2012* I have decided to leave it permanently out since no one is complaining it isn't there.
[*]Wireless-N support is disabled like it is by default. Having it enabled was making my own wireless network go completely crazy, and it didn't appear to increase the connection speed of the phone.
Notes about incomplete and complete features in XevRev Beta 1:
Bazaar for WP7 will be added. I think its a handy thing to have pre-installed.
Reinstaller will be added, but it isn't a priority feature.
WP7 Root Tools will be added.
Last.fm will be added, but it isn't a priority feature.
SYS 8773 Tango booting is a priority for a V1 of the rom, but for now it has 8107 Mango.
SYS 8835 7.8 available.
Most drivers are Tango v1, but you can still run Zune update to get newest radio and finish driver upgrade. Official Verizon tethering and fixes the long standing bug of random mac addresses.
The tethering network unlock by JerryJiang is not included because I do not know what values it changes. Non-Verizon network users will still need to apply it to enable tethering. I plan to implement this into my rom soon.
Radio is included in rom, and it is forced to Mango v3's radio. I am doing this to insure that CMAS support remains intact, but also because there is no official Tango rom from Verzion online yet to create a flash-able radio from. If you want Tango v1 radio (recommended by many users), simply run Zune update to get newest HTC driver.
*note about Internet Sharing PLEASE READ*[Updated 1-OCT-2012]
If you are a Verizon subscriber and have a metered data plan.... you're good to go.
ALL VERIZON USERS WITHOUT OFFICIAL TETHERING PLAN MUST DO THE FOLLOWING!!
After programming the phone via *228, dial ##PST# on the dial pad. After service tools install/load, select PST=>edit=>type in unlock code: 000000, Select M.IP Default Profile, select DUN NAI, change value to from ##########@dun.vzw3g.com to ##########@vzw3g.com (the # signs represent your phone number that should remain!) and select ok, select save and reboot phone.
If you are using an unlocked SIM card to run on another carrier, go here and run the tethering unlock xap by JerryJiang.
Special Thanks!
I special thanks to all those who made this rom possible. feropont, ultrashot and hd2owner, you all rock! Without all of your hard work and efforts, none of this rom would be possible! A shout out to my buddy NuAngel once again, for getting me into rom cooking a few years back!

I'd like to thank tonbonz for pointing out that you can run the Zune update, and it will install the newest radio to the phone (along with the last two missing packages, HTC_NKDrivers and OEM_8x50_NK_SPARK_W). It's odd, because previous to updating the XIP almost all of the new drivers save those two, I wasn't able to install the HTC update (and the older drivers always flashed on roms like DFT and ansars until these newest drivers).
Perhaps one of the drivers doesn't like updating, and since its already updated, the update process skips it and moves on? I wonder if its the WIRELESS driver.... I could dig in and find out, but really... why should anyone care?! lol Now you can have full unlock, programming, and the newest radio too! WOOHOO!
Thanks for the share.. works great.
im try this rom. please add the turkish language

You installed RSPL and didn't flash HSPL? Interesting... but the idea of my rom is so that you don't need to flash a new one all the time. I'm going to explode an old method of SPL downgrade for our phones (this old old OLD rom that ansar posted ages ago) and see if HSPL is possible using that. If so, we won't need to flash our phones.
I think the update-able part may be caused by the fact that I used the Verizon Wireless driver instead of the Spark GSM driver like in DFT and ansar roms. Even though a kitchen like OSBuilder will swap the wireless driver when I OEM cab install, I don't think Windows Phone will if the carrier ID's don't match. I'm going to do some testing by back porting the WIRELESS drivers and see if that is why the OEM updates are not installing in other roms. It's also possible that another package was at fault because during my testing, until I mostly ported the drivers to the newest ones, the OEM cab update was failing on my rom too.
Frankly, I wouldn't have known the oem cabs were flashing if it wasn't for tonbonz earlier post in the general forum, because I had sort of given up on it, assuming that HTC or Microsoft has implemented some kind of change that didn't allow the updates to succeed. Rom's like DFT's had worked for updating in their pre-release phase, but it would remove internet sharing because the policies for internet sharing were contained in the WIRELESS package. Dynamics7 by ultrashot solved this by using a different package with just the internet sharing policies, that way they would remain even if the WIRELESS package was updated.
The problem came when Verizon changed their WIRELESS driver to be different from the default HTC one found on Spark GSM. Even if you implemented the polices with the Verizon driver, you still couldn't start the hotspot service up, it would produce an error. I tired all kinds of lamo hex editing tricks to see if I could enabled, but couldn't (and I assumed other rom cooks working on Spark_W did as well). We're really fortunate that Verizon decided to boost support for Windows Phone and allow for tethering out of box, as we now have a spiffy updated WIRELESS driver with no stupid random mac address bug.
Spark GSM rom cooks may be able to port the Verizon Wireless driver, and then use JerryJiang's fix to allow the hotspot driver to work on their phone. However, this might keep them from using OEM update as well. Perhaps exploring this HOTSPOT feature (as it doesn't seem to be configured in the registery) that JerryJiang found it what will eventually produce a method to fully policy unlock tethering on Spark GSM and allow a different package to keep that hot spot unlock in place, while allowing OEM.cabs to update all the drivers on the phone?
I'm going to work on implementing JerryJiang's patch into XevRev as a package (not his xap) this weekend (I hope). He sent me his source code and I am going to do some digging to see what I can find.

Yeah, i didn't install HSPL . . i wanted the bootloader to get updated through Zune . . after all, i now have what i wanted all along - an unlocked phone which allows me to install a few useful aps which are not available on the Microsoft Marketplace and full access to all the folders, internet sharing and Zune updates. Why should i want to install another custom ROM ever again? (Not that we are going to see many more updates for Windows 7.5 anyway!)
My only regret is that i wasn't able to keep my saved messages. If i try to use my save store.vol and pimindex.vol, my contacts list gets messed up. Never mind, small sacrifice.
Thanks again . .

Yeah but... you.... nevermind.
I'm sure we're going to see 7.8 before end of life on this phone.. but Windows Phone 8 will be a completely different ball game.
I was thinking of the irony.. I couldn't release a custom rom until after we got the official tethering update... and the only reason I wanted HSPL on our phones was to have tethering.... derp. lol

you're forgetting, internet sharing still doesn't work out-of-the-box on the official rom, it requires Jerry Jiang's unlocker . . . so your custom rom is fully relevant

No, Internet sharing does work just fine... if you have Verizon service. If you are using a sim card to use a different provider, then that is a different story.
I'm not entirely sure that Verizon locked it down with the intention of not allowing the phone to use Internet Service on different providers (I mean, it wouldn't even work internationally either with its setup), but they locked it down simply to make DAMN sure that the people who are using it, are being monitored and metered by them.
Thankfully unlimited data users have a simple fix for it, as listed in my original post... although I'm not sure if its fully effective (there is a NAI setting in the original tethering setup as well that points to dun.blahblah...).

Yeah. I resorted back to another Spark rom and tethering does work. Not sure why it doesn't work with this one

That's strange, do you have unlimited data or a tier plan? If you have a data cap, it should work with no mods. If you have unlimited data, you need to follow the instructions in my opening post, but you said you already did that.
And are you really using a Spark rom? This is a Spark_W rom. O-o;
Hmmm interesting, I like the idea of your rom, more like stock, but unlocked, and can get zune updates.
I'm currently use SolvZ's rom, and im really happy with it. I just got done posting in his thread about it. Funny because the only reason I want a ROM anymore is for customer colors. I don't even like the "no dehydrate" thing, it does weird things with my location when doing bing searches, it keep remembering the last location I was in and not clearing it and searching my current
When you get final out, I may give it a run. I have a upgrade waiting, so as soon as WP8 hits Verizon's stores bye bye good ol Trophy.

crap, i couldn't help myself. Your rom is installing now as I type this... 8%...
I was to be able to update so it stops bothering me. Plus my wifes bone stock Trophy seems to be doing very well with the latest drivers that came with her official Tango+HTC updates. ohhh ohhh ohh 22%
Well, G2G, ill be spending the next 30 mins configing my phone lol
PS: 41%

The ROM Im using now is DFT Freedom Spark_W V1 for Verizon. Internet sharing works.
Nice ROM you have here by the way. Id really stick with it, but I really need Internet sharing. Maybe ill try it again down the road since I think ill be stuck with my Trophy a little while longer. Not eligible for an update until early 2013.
I somehow screwed up my programming again I did a factory reset because I screwed up the contact list trying to restore my SMSes. I waited a few minutes after the reset to do the *228 programming as the initial post says, and although the programming said it was completed successfully and the 3G icon came up, none of my calls are completing. I get a few rings then the Verizon lady saying there was a problem completing my call.
Any ideas on how I can fix this almighty Xev? Last time I had to reactivate my old smartphone and then redo this one, but hopefully I don't have to go through that again?
Btw, I love the ROM. The right blend of stock and cool homebrew apps

Try programming one more time and reboot.. if that fails, switch to another compatible phone on the plan and switch right back. I had this issue crop up once, but it was odd because I didn't need to program the phone a 2nd time for it to start working ;. (Meaning, I switched the phone off the plan, and then put it right back on it)
If you program the phone from scratch again, try typing ##PST#, let service tools load up, THEN program via *228. I tired doing it both ways, during my testing with programming, but only had that issue crop up once (so I thought it was isolated to just me that one time.. hence me asking people to wait a few mins before programming). Did you try to program during initial setup (not sure if that option reset itself after after the new drivers install.. I haven't had time to check), or after the main screen came up? (sounds to me like you waited.. but I'm just waking up... urgh OT at work is killing me..)
