Making custom ROMs

Hello,
I know that for know is possible to update different ROMs to any Prophet regarding is Vendor id (or CID).
I would like to know if it's possible to make customs ROMs, like a rom from Qtek with an radio from a imate rom??

Confusion about ROM versions

Hey,
Sorry for the stupid question, but I just can't find the info I'm looking for. I've checked the wiki and a lot of threads here but can't figure it out.
The wiki links to the FTP to show two ROMs I could download, but doesn't explain anything about them.
RUU_Prophet_2090724_20907106_020720_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
Am I right to guess that the first one is a very old version and the second one is the latest? If the second one is the latest, is it not available at clubimate just because clubimate is out of date? Also, shayd linked to JAMin_WWE_213923_2139123_022021_ship.zip in a recent thread saying it's the latest official. If the ones in the wiki aren't official, what are they?
I'm currently running 2.13.9.23 on a G4 JAMin. This is what I put on from clubimate not long after I got the phone.
Also, I've looked at a few of the custom ROMs floating around here and they're interesting. However, I know that I don't know enough about this to just try upgrading to one, for fear of bricking my phone. Is there a recommended one, and would it void my warranty?
Thanks, and sorry again for the stupid questions.

As you probably know by now, the HTC prophet is sold (among others) by Qtek as S200 and by imate as Jamin. Hardware is identical so ROMS are compatible too. What you found on ftp are official ROMS by Qtek (ver 2.09 and ver 2.2).
Imate's latest version is 2.13, which is what you have installed at the moment.
Dopod's latest version is 2.15, while Qtek's latest version is 2.2. They're all official ROMS and will work on your device providing it's CID unlocked (search forum for CID unlocking). Just FYI, CID locking is used to prevent you from loading other carrier's ROMs.
Regarding customised ROMS, yes they're interesting but unfortunately they all have bugs.

Qtek's latest version 2.2

Thus meaning that, as I have an Imate JAMin, I could install Qtek's latest version 2.2 and it would be OK? Where do I find that??? Thanks in advance.

Thanks kta.
When i-mate's v2.13 is compared to the qtek v2.2, are those numbers relative to each other, or just arbitrary? I'm asking so that I can figure out if 2.2 is actually better than 2.13.
Also, am I right to assume that if my phone died while qtek's 2.2 rom was on there, my warranty would be void?
cheers,
James

You will be OK if you update it with Qtek's 2.2. There is one on xda ftp here: ftp://xda:[email protected]_S200_2.20.7.34_2.47.21_2.20.7.114_WWE.zip.
To avoid the ROM update utility telling you "Wrong Country ID" or something like that, make sure you use a ROM Update Utility with No vendor Id (probably included in the zip file).

Hi James,
The version numbers are relative to each other and Qtek's 2.2 is a better version based on a more recent WM5 release.
Regarding warranty, well, you'd have to check what Imate's policy is. I never had an imate myself but I had a similar experience with a T-Mobile device. I sent it back for repair under warranty and it had another carrier's ROM and they didn't complain. But Imate's policies could be different.

Thanks heaps kta. Very informative. I'll contact i-mate.

Quick question...
Does anyone know if qtek's 2.2 ROM has the laggy SIP switch popup issue?

"Official" HTC TYTN II rom??

Hello, I have looked here for the official HTC TYTN II rom. I want the one that came with the device or the latest OFFICIAL rom (I don't think that the 6.1 verisions are official, but maybe I'm wrong). This link lists the official roms, but I am not sure which one is the original one??
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
If I flash the Australia rom, will it work still here in the US? This looks like the latest official rom, but I really want the WWE version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346267
Also, I have a TILT and I am going to HardSPL and SIM unlock, which one do I do first?? I had the 8525 and I remember doing the SIM/CID unlock first I think?
Do I need to use this SuperCID and Security unlock as well if all I want to do is flash new roms and SIM unlock??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361236
Oh, I almost forgot, why do some people post the .rar files and not the .exe, so much easier using .exe isn't it??
Thanks!!

The rom your phone came with if it is a tilt is one of the att ones on the site your first link leads to.
Hadspl and simunlock, don't matter which you do first just make sure you hardspl before trying to load a cooked rom from this site (and trust me it's worth going with a cooked rom over the att variants)
No supercid needed on the kaiser.
rar is much smaller then exe (rar is an archieve that has the files compressed)

Hello there! I just got off the phone with HTC tech support. They say they have no "official" release for WM6.1 and no date for a release either.
Also, they told me the newest "official" rom= 1.56.405.5
And radio= 1.27.12.11
Which is found here: http://rapidshare.com/files/5781641...dio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.rar.html
Anyone know how to get this in the .exe format?? I am a bit of a noob and I am used to using the .exe format to flash.
BTW manimore, I know what you are saying about the cooked roms, and I would definitely go with them over the AT&T crap; however, I like the look and reliability of the "official" HTC roms, like the one for the TYTN II.
Do we have any official HTC TYTN II roms besides the one above that the tech guys at HTC don't know about??
Thanks for the advice!

Manimore, I just reread your post. I was talking about official TYTN II roms, not anything for the Tilt.

What about this one?
1.83.631.4 (radio 1.27.15.32) Rogers Rom found here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364789
Is this also a WWE official release for TYTN II?? What is Rogers??

Rogers is the only GSM carrier in Canada. However, they don't currently offer the TyTN II, last time I checked (I was at a dealer yesterday, and looked on the website as I composed this post), so I'm not sure what to make of this.
Rogers is a weird beast, in some areas they are far ahead of the competition; We have name display (like a landline, you'll see the name of the caller as well as the number, when available), unlimited incoming plans (like Europe, but without raping the person calling you), nation-wide 3G (major markets), but in other areas they are way behind the times (handset selection is pathetic at best, account termination penalties of up to $900, customer service reps are all over the map, from don't-speak-English to telepathic, etc)

what is the latest imate jamin rom?

hi,
i am new to all this, but i am looking for the latest rom for an imate jamin, which is (from what i have read) a htc prophet.
i am interested in putting the latest (unmodified) version of wm6 if possible, i have got a modified version on there atm, but i dont know if it is my mind playing tricks on me, but it just doesnt seem to work correctly.
otherwise what is the latest version of wm5
this is the first time of me modifying a phone, but i do know the basics of flashing devices, as i have been modifying psp for a few years now.
many thanks
massiveoni

There is no 'official' WM6 ROM, as imate etc. have not bothered to create one. There are many WM6 (and WM6.1) ROMs floating around the forums, but these are modified versions of other phone ROMs (for exampl, korand 3.1 is based on a Kaiser ROM). This can lead to problems with the running of the ROM.
The FTP server has original (shipped) WM5 ROMs on it here or here.

hi dear
hello from this here can i use portugese version to upgrade to wm5 on my jamin?

Just plain WM 6.1 ROM?

Ok - I've looked through a bunch of threads. I just want to put WM 6.1 as you get it from HTC on my Tilt.
I live in the US so I don't have access to it.
All the ROMs I see in the threads below are all customized, etc... I just want the standard WM 6.1 ROM. Where can I get instructions on how to do this?

you can dl it from:
http://member.htc.com/downloadfiles....0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.zip
sorry, the link doesnt work... needs ID and password....
you can find it in kaiser wiki: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282
you will need to unlock the CID in order to flash the HTC branded ROM

or you can wait a few days and nothrills will be releasing a wm6.1 rom. All his roms are pure htc roms except for performance tweaks everything else is as it would come from htc themself.

Really????? I didnt know that... A good news for me.. haha

Meanwhile you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399150.
I like it... almost comparable to shogunmark's rom. You can read through the thread.. only 2 pages... maybe because of new chef, not many want to try.
I'm glad that i try... stick with it now...

You can look at my lite rom. It contains only files from MS and HTC device drivers. All custom applications have been removed. I also included the ROM Folders so you can customize it!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=393535
This is the HTC 6.1 world wide english (WWE) release.If using a Tilt you will want to install the latest Jockey 3.28 hardspl first. You will also need an ATT Keyboard fix cab file (see the thread) and will need to uncheck the proxy in Settings/Connections/Connections/Proxy Settings after at&t network settings are auto-configured.
You could also try the latest at&t 6.1 (almost OFFICIAL) test ROM titled ATT 19213 build with 1.65.20.29 radio. See this thread for mirrors and more...

I am using both with good results. Both are full 6.1 ROMs, are stable and contain all HTC improvements for video and general performance.
Both are very similar at their core. The at&t ROM is bloated with at&t specific features and additional junk. You can eliminate much of this from your user interface but will lose storage space.
I am running a nearly identical set of apps on both with good results.
EDIT: a newer at&t test version is now available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400276

I can see that most of the advanced chefs are cooking diamond based roms for kaiser and pure kaiser ROMs is undergoing not much change ( May be the CHEFs want more challenge ;-) ). I would personally love to see a very stable and very fast Kaiser based rom. DIamond ROM in kaiser , not doubt slows the performance....
