Hi Guys, I own a Dopod 818Pro (G4). I have this problem now, It seems that my Prophet is running abit slow till I find it laggy. I am using the orginal ROM since day 1 I brought it. From the specification from Dopod webby, it tells me Flash ROM 128MB/SD RAM 64MB. Do I need to unlock the Flash ROM before I upgrade to the ROMs posted here. And also how do I go about it if I wanna flash a ROM to my Prophet. I read up many thread but all they say is about the ROM posted. I really hope someone can guide me into flashing a new ROM for my Prophet. Thanks a million guys.
Regards
Cal =)

Read wiki.
Choose the ROM you'd like to use and read the instructions provided in the topic regarding that specific ROM (there's no need to unlock for upgrading most roms).
Don't start a new thread, just because you're too lazy reading the existing ones. Your question has been asked about a 1000 times before. Just use the (advanced) search function..
I would recommend the latest official ROM for the Prophets which were released by Qtek. It's based on WM5 and has the version 2.20. It's stable and fast and already has lots of bugs fixed. I dont recommend a WM6 upgrade for beginners yet. Before upgrading make sure you installed Active Sync and fully charged your device. Then just proceed as the upgrade program instructs you. Always keep in mind that flashing a ROM file not ditributed by your phone provider/company may result in a guarantee loss. Also be aware that flashing sometimes might totally destroy (brick) your phone.
Good luck and a nice welcome to the forum
This is the new question I want to ask. (13 Aug 4.37pm London)
As mentioned in the Wizzard-wiki, there is no free way to unlock G4.
BUT !!!!! today, I just did an update (look at my signature). First of all flash the Radio and ExtRom. Then use aWizzard, enable Rapi (e),
UNLOCK CID (u) and last write new OS (w).
In the Unlock CID phase, I finally get something like "your device is successfully CID unlocked" !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! does this mean that my G4 is unlocked and is it the same as we pay 20 pounds to use IMEI number to lock the CID (as mentioned in wiki)??????????????????????????????
The following is the original post.
I am using a CID locked O2 XDA Mini S. It took me about 6 minute to upgrade to TNT4.0, but after that the device rebooted. And then the old wm5 shows up...... (2.21.4.1)
what's going on here?????????????
Please read the wiki before you ask questions.

Hey, thanks for the reply. Maybe sorry for this naive question.
But I have been reading the wiki many times. Being a foreigner, I don't quite understand many terms and abbreviations in the wiki. After reading the describtion from the TNT 4.0, i know that it is safe to flash it to my O2 MiniS.
But I still don't know why it doesn't work. Here i want to ask 2 questions.
I have read the "how to flash ANY rom to a CID Locked device". 1 question I want to ask is that Any rom includes a rom like TNT4.0, right? I.E. I can flash TNT to my CID locked O2 MiniS, right?
2nd question is that, I noticed that many posts mentioned that they will need an official rom as the base. Where can I find any Official roms for the MiniS. are the following 3 the ONLY OFFICIAL roms for O2 Mini S? I apprecaite any help. Thank you.

You need to use the shell tool to flash to a G4 CID locked device - follow the instructions.

Does that mean that I can flash any rom to use the shell tool, like I can flash TNT4.0 or Faria etc. ?
The answer to EVERY Question and problem you are having is:
Unlock CID your device!
For Crist sake!
You CAN NOOOOOOOOOT put any rom in your device until you have done that, and no matter whatever anyone else says , just do it, and your problems will go away...
Some poeple just dont do what the instructions tell you to do, and then fill the forum with repeated issues...

Man, you scaried me. But there is a post saying that I can flash any rom without CID Unlock, right? Just don't have money to do the cid unlock.
dleeming is right.
According to your signature you have got a G4 model. Follow the instructions in the stickies about upgrade of a G4 model.....

Understand.
I just want to make sure that in theory I can flash to any roms according to thread "how to flash any rom with a cid locked"
As most of these ROM do not incl. IPL/SPL or the radio you may want to check whether your IPL/SPL and radio version work with the respective ROMs first.
If I remember correctly they require 2.x or higher IPL/SPL. But, check for yourself.
BTW what kind of Chinese support you are referring to?
The best I've used for Chinese support is CE-star specially made for WM6 release from the ppda forums. Penpower works like the transcriber for Chinese.
Monster Chinese, I have never gotten to work correctly. You can't uninstall it too.

Thanks mate. Now I've got my new signature. I can show this off to myself now hahahahaha
I forgot the name of the forum, but you can do a search on Leies edition of CE-star.
Idealy, I want to use the English OS system but with full Chinese support. e.g. I can install Chinese software, browse Chinese web-site etc.
But just now, I flashed a Chinese OS system. Quit happy with it now, though maybe later I will try to find a way to fullfill my ideal system above.

If you don't need to enter Chinese characters but just have your Wizard to show them, the easiest way would be to install a cab with the Chinese font set.
The cab is somewhere here on the forum...

Are you sure? I think this thing works similar as PC. Not only we need the font, but the encoding thing (like uni-code or something). Personally, I don't think your suggestion will work. If you find such thread, please do show it to me. It will be highly appreciated
Cheers
I am using it that way. Haven't check Chinese websites but chinese SMS and the menu of the SIM card are shown in HanZi.
check for the fontpatch.cab

Hi there, ive looked through all the different forums and am confused! (newbie type confused :S). I have an ) O2 Mini Xda S and it is currently running WM5. If anyone can help, please can i request two ROM file downloads.
1. The original ROM file that is currently on the phone incase i flash and do not like and
2. A WM6 ROM upgrade file and if possible WM6 proffesonal.
I would really like WM6 proffesional but WM6 (the origianl one) would be brilliant. It boots up on G4 (2.xx.000x) and this is what im most confused about, wheter the upgrade is for G3 or G4. please someone help!!! Also ive heard the faria upgrade is good but not sure whether to go down that route or not.
Thanks very much in advance.

1. get the original ROM from your carrier. for instance, you can download the TMO version from their website.
2. read stickies before posting and follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
3. pick any of the many WM6 roms here and flash.
4. since you have a G4, make sure you read the part about G4 flashing in the above thread.
thanks for that, i have had a look on O2's site but they do not have any original ROMs or anything at all for my mini xda. I dont know why because its a popular phone as far as i am aware :S
any other places i can get it from? cheers
good read for a wm6 rom

Hello!!
I've been lurking in the dark... on post here and there... but not much else, but now i need you help.
After having a HTC TyTN (returned for warrenty) and 2 P3600 (returned for warranty), i finally have a TyTN2.
Man... how disapointing A friend of mine has a wizard, and its faster than this. Anyhow... to the question.
I have the originally shipped HTC Rom. It's the PTG version... (the radio and rom versions ain't important here) and i can't seem to download it from anywhere.
I want to try and test Cooked roms, but how am i going to be able to return to the stock rom, if i can't download it?
Am i being silly here? Is this a completly naive question????
Can someone please advise?
Look in the Wiki for the threads on reverting to original rom for returns.
Also look for how to dump & reconstruct a rom.
The links are there, many of us have used them.
When you find out how to dump a rom, PM-me, cause I need an original PTG shipped rom..
Thanks!
htc ptg rom
HELLO...
As I make to make download of the rom in ptg….
some link… please….
thanks
As pointed out by the esteemed Kyphur, you need to check the Kaiser Wiki. Inside you will find links to download original carrier ship ROMs.
That being said, there is no original PTG ROM available; only BIGstorage. Somebody with a Kaiser running the ship ROM should follow the instructions linked from the Wiki to dump and reconstruct their ROM.
There are several tutorials available on this site to help you accomplish this. Please read them. Since this is not new information, nobody will hold your hand through the process until you can show that you tried and failed on your own.
Honestly I don't get how come you couldn't find it, since all you had to type was "kaiser PTG".
On the issue, for my fellow country mates, here is the post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586817&postcount=2 with the rom you are searching for.
PTG HTC 1.56.410.2 I'm not the one who uploaded or dumped it but it is the same OS I had on mine when I bought it back in September, and when I returned it for warranty due to a camera problem, I flashed this one and they didn't complain, so I guess it will work ok aswell for you
Any questions just feel free to PM me, I'll do my best to answer, rather then creating new threads
Cheers, Esko
hi
can anyone tell me where to get the 6.1 update for htc s710 in india? i registered with htc india but no updates show-up.
to tell the truth ... i'm not comfortable installing a 'cooked' rom posted by dr. gonzo rom coz its first time got a windows device so if i screw the flashing theres no way i can get the original software back
thanks in advance
==================================================
IRRELEVENT POST - NO OFFICIAL WM6.1 FOR VOX
Dude, don't worry the Read me that comes with the Dr.Gonzo's ROM is self explanatory... And Dear, when i tried it for first time, I screwed my VOX too...But then a little patience and VOX wiki..I am up there with my VOX on WM 6.1..ANd now you can see my Signature, i love trying beta ROMsss.. Just in case anything happen to ur phone, give me a buzz at [email protected] may be i can be of some instant help to u... And i bet my life...Senior members on this forum are always ready to help ppl like us...So go ahead and try it..
Thanks to All ppl of this wonderful forum
Loku
there is no official WM6.1 ROM update for S710 ANYWHERE.
you can try the WM6.1 ROM by Dr.Gonzo, it is very good. It does have some minor glitches but a new user like you won't notice it for a while.
and yes this forum will help you if anything goes wrong, but before you do anything please read the wiki completely and when flashing follow ALL instruction(every single line) carefully. ALL!
You would like the WM6.1 rom.
and one more thing....
download the official 1.34 ROM also(its on the FTP),
then in case you screw it up while flashing, you will have the original ROM to fall back on.
thanks lokesh, prajith.
can u give me a link tot he original HTC S710 rom (1.34) u were telling me about?
thanks guys
Upadte HTC S710 with WM 6.1
Hi all, I recently bought HTC s710 and I love there are some queries see if anyone can guide me :
1. If I flash my device with WM 6.1 can i get the original OS by hard reset?
2. If I flash the device will i lose my warranty which is one year ?
3. If i spoil my device is there a way to restore original OS so that repair people do not come to know that I have flashed my device.
Thank you
1). If you flash WM6.1 or ANY ROM, you can not restore to the original ROM by hard reset. You will need to re-flash it.
2). Technically, yes you will lose warranty, however...
3). Patched USPL can be used so you can always restore the original factory/OEM ROM and still use your warranty should you have any hardware issues.
In short, I would not hesitate to flash WM6.1 due to those questions you have. The first thing I did when I got my S710 was flash a patched SPL and unofficial ROM.
h4waii has explained it beautifully.
now please read the wiki! all roms are there.
p.s. is my signature invisible
Yes, it is to all people that are new, it's a fact, they ask before they read, I am getting sick of it. The same questions every day!
XDA should force a reply to each sticky'd Wiki before posting rights are granted, until then only read should be applied to the account. Perhaps I will bring it up with a mod.
excellent idea h4waii!
Mods please do this.
make reply to wiki compulsory before posting.
Atleast ppl will visit there once
I don't think it's that easy to integrate that into vBulletin! lol

It's possible, the C4 forums have it in place on vBulliten 3.7.1, but I am sure they require it more than XDA does.
It would be better to require a certain amount of posts before you can start a new thread. Meh. I don't think it's that much of an issue anyways. I am sure if it was, something would be in place already.
Update error
I downloaded Dr.Gonzo's Monalise v1.0 and finished all the steps in the how-to and Readme. During the final Flash.exe, it is saying ERROR [270] : UPDATE ERROR. The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility.
Read the wiki, you have to flash your USPL
