Hello, I would like to know what is the aku2 rom, how to know if I have that rom, because I only get numbers in the first screen, like IPL: 2.25 OS 2.25.11.1
So probably aku2 is a nickname, I don´t know.
You have an aku 2 ROM. You can tell because you have an IPL/SPL of 2.xx and an OS version of 2.xx... There is an aku 3.3 out which has an IPL/SPL of 3.08 and an OS version 3.xx... AFAIK right now the aku 3.3 version is german only but I'm not totally sure about that since more versions may have come out recently that I'm unaware of since I have WM6 on mine and don't really keep up on new WM5 versions.
how can I know?
Read the ROM thread. Just like we've said in your other thread, you need to take some time and read. We will not spoon feed you.
wich one is the rom thread? people could be a little more gentle in this forum, it´s very easy for someone who knows everything about a subject to teach another one. not a big deal.

Not true.....IPL/SPL has nothing to do with the type of rom you have.
WM5 is AKU 2.xx - 3.5x
WM6 is AKU 3.6x and above
My numbers aren't exact but close.

Sorry if this sounds harsh, but this is a developer's forum. That means you are expected to follow general forum etiquette (reading stickies, reading wiki entries, etc) and doing a lot of reading before asking questions. There's a reason why people have gone out of their way to make "how to" threads - all you have to do is read them.

You're right, but I was referring to his situation. Generally, with the exception of the button ROM, you don't have an AKU of 2.xx or higher with an IPL/SPL of less than 2.xx and most AKU's of 3.xx or higher install the newer 3.08 IPL/SPL. Most people here are using an IPL/SPL of 2.xx with their versions of WM6, but I didn't want to include that information and possibly confuse him any farther than he already is. In most cases with an untouched stock ROM though you can tell which AKU you have by which IPL/SPL you have.I probably should have left the IPL/SPL part out of it but I thought it would make it easier for him to figure out that he does have an AKU of 2.xx. Apparently it didn't matter anyway since he's still asking which one he has.

I can understand that, now what IPL/SPL stands for??
IPL stands for Initial Program Loader and SPL stands for Secondary Program Loader. They are basically the part of the phone that loads the OS and all of the subsystems that make your phone work.

I am using my Xda neo (flashed with traditional chinese version ROM, version 5.1.195(build 14847.2.0.0).
I believe I am using AKU2 and am wondering if this is the right time to upgrade to AKU3?
I have some questions:
1. What is "G3", "G4"? How can I know which one my Xda neo is?
2. I saw "AKU3 rom" with many different "'pool size". What they mean?
3. Any complete one-stop AKU3 package/procedures which I can just download and follow, in order to upgrade my Xda neo to AKU3?
Any BAD effect for AKU3 has been known on Xda neo so far?
Thanks
When your phone starts up you can see IPL and SPL at the boot screen, if it ends with .0001 then you have a G4 and when it does not you probably have a G3. Example: 2.15.0001 = G4
You cannot put a rom for G3 on a G4 and vice versa, it will brick your phone.
And I can't really comment which ROM is better since I'm still searching for a good ROM myself The AKU 3.2 seems to have some buggies, although the AKU 2.3 seems to be quite stable (reading from other people their comments).
As for pool size, I quote:
The large the paging pool is, the more code pages can present in RAM simultaneously -> the less loads from slow ROM -> the faster the device is.

It seems they come with all different pool sizes. My guess is they cost some memory to gain some speed. But I have also read some people had some problems with the bigger pool size. So I guess you might wanna do a search for that.
And as for your question 3. I'm still trying to figure that out myself.
I know I have a G4 device, the IPL/SPL = 2.10.0001 but still I'm not quite sure which version is the best to use. e.g. the pdamobiz version says it's for 2.15.0001, it's for G4 but does that work on my device? I have no idea lol
And it also seems the Wiki isn't fully complete in that perspective. Once I know more I surely will try to update the wiki.
G4 roms on G3 device..?
Quote: Since HTC issued new IPL/SPL version 2.xx.0001, all tools that we use to cook the customize rom to be a single nk.nbf file can not be used because nk.nbf structure are different from the previous version. We were trying to hard to solve the problem. Futunately, we found the new method that save and convenince, because it will not touch with bootloader. Just active sync prophet with pc then run UPGRADE_ROM.bat.
This method can be used with any version of IPL/SPL of SPV M600, Qtek S200, i-mate JAMin, Dopod 818 Pro, XDA neo. Need not to unlock CID.
This is from the PDAmobiz thread, and if I get it right it says that you can install any rom (G3 or G4) on both G3 and G4 devices, if you just follow their instructions..
Is this true? Cause im thinking about trying their rom on my G3 device..
Can you upgrade a G3 to a G4 bootloader?
Thanks
Well, that is what I'm trying to figure out too It says so on their website although some confirmation about that might be nice.
And the filename of that ROM says it's for 2.15.0001. But I have no idea they named it like that to show it's for G4's or it's only for 2.15.0001 if you know what I mean.
And no, you cannot upgrade G3 to G4 bootloader as far as I know.
It would be really nice to know..
Im tried the "16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe" ROM and it was really nice and fast.. Unfortunately it turned itself off in the middle of the night after just 2 days, and I can't afford to loose an important call (from work or whatever)..
Therefore im looking for a stable and still fast ROM that will work on my G3..
Just trying to speed things up...
I agree with the sentiments of Reef exactly. I am using the official I-mate ROM for my G3 Jamin. I would love to increase the speed of my device and decrease boot time from a soft reset. The 3.2 ROMs are tempting, but clearly have some showstopper problems. I was about to download and flash the 16MB AKU2.3 rom, but reading this thread stopped me. I am on call and rely on my phone 24/7.
I guess I have the same questions as Reef: Is there a rock-stable, fast 2.3 ROM with the paging file modification out there?
Is I-mate ever going to release an "official" upgraded ROM?
Does anyone have some more feedback on the cooked ROMs they're using?
Alan
At the moment I'm running AKU 2.3 with Radio ROM 2.30.21, G4 Device. And I must say it's very stable. Didn't even have to reset device yet.
I'm using: "PDAMobiz Editon Upgrade Rom for SPL 2.15.0001 v2307 - 16MB" from PDAMobiz.
Did try the AKU3 but I have to try to get it to work savely on my device, so for the moment I would say "no" to AKU3 for the Prophet...
Will test it for a week or so, will keep you all posted
By the way, as for the speed it's just slightly faster than my HTC Wizard with AKU3.2 both @ 240MHz But that could also be because of all the tweaks made to my Porphet. Will get back on this
dear NetRunnerAt I wonder if you please give us the link of official ROM that contains 2.25 IPL SPL, I did a lot of search and I can't find it
and if someone please give the the link of the official German AKU 3.3 if there is one for prophet liek the wizard (with radio 2.69) I did search and didn't fine it
I think I'm stupid in search
I have one good news, I-mate support told me that they did a new ROM for jamin and they are testing it and they don't know if they are going to puplish the new ROM or not, I hope they are telling the truth
NetRunnerAt please the new SPL 2.25 for prophet
I feel like I'm in black list
i havent the files ... i have see some guys with this version in the signatur ... i think some provider based roms have it.
is it th wizard IPL SPL or proghet one?
I,ve seen prophet with wizard spl
I did flash mine with 2.25 SPL, I notice it is bad one, the best so far I think is 2.20
Hello,
I have recently bought a AT&T Tilt, and would like to flash to the current Offcial HTC WM 6.1 ROM.
I have done alot of reading in the wiki here and various FAQ threads and what not. But i am still a bit confused with a few things.
I have read the ROM Flashing faq and Intro here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
And i understand all that.
I also undestand that i need the Key board fix from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911
But thats not hard.
I went here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
I checked my device and the rom currently on it is the AT&T WM6.0 1.57.502.2 Original Shiped Rom.
I figured, being in Australia, i would need rom that had WWE as the country? So i downloaded the "RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship" rom. Is this an appropriete ROM for what i want?
BUT Its all this stuff about SPL's and what not that is confusing me.
My Tilt is SIM unlocked because i am using it on the Telstra network here in Australia. But im not sure if i have to change SPL's or not and if so, which spl i need and how to change it?
It would be greatly appreciated if someone was able to help me understand this SPL bussiness, because i really dont want to dive straight in a risk my device. I have done a fair bit of reading and i'm a fairly competent computer user so it won't take me long to learn.
Thanks in advance,
eMiller
you have to CID unlock it. this involves flashing the device with HardSPL then running a unlocker program. (this is what i know from Hermes, so i don't know if it is exactly the same on Tilt). It breaks the warranty though, so think first, then jump
by the way, you should try a cooked rom. in my experience, HTC roms are not that good, except for getting a stable radio. get the radio, then get a new OS rom, like hang.tuah or something.

Try this one:

Look for the Zip file at the very bottom of the screen this hard spl will let you flash any rom (follow the instructions the spl gives you exactly and dont get nervous if it appears stiuck for a bit), just make sure you know which ROM you really want to flash at the end
.
Again same stuff.
Guys, when you gonna learn to read everything which is realted to your device when you want to do something?
Everything is in Wiki, everything you need is posted in ROM threads.
Come on GUYS!
read the f**** wiki. you need hardspl. its not that hard to figure out if your not an imbisel
@joel2009: That is a little harsh. Also, if you're going to call someone an imbecile, you should probably spell it right.
@eMiller12 (fellow noob): I don't know if I would bother with the HTC ROM, I just flashed it and I am finding a few really annoying bugs... Read Jocky's STICKY post about the HardSPLs to learn how to flash one. It really is quite simple--and it's unlikely that you're going to brick your device, so no worries.
Hey FireMedic, thanks for understanding.
I have read through the Wiki a fair bit, i was just unsure which versions of hardSPL etc where best for the [email protected] Tilt inparicular. But i will just use this one that vorostatz recomended if that is the best one for the tilt.

We are not all senior members. I can fully understand the guys wish not to turn his expensive device into a paperweight. Ease up eh?
search forums using google (at top right)
yeah, exactly... I was pretty scared to hardspl when I first started.
Hardspl 3.29 seems to be the best one, check my signature after you've read the hardspl sticky.
From what I understand, a rom flash might try to write a different spl which is obviously bad. hardspl prevents this.
If you ever need to, you can undo it. Kyphur explains in the hardspl sticky how to change them, by running a program named jumpspl 1.56 (on your device) with your sim and sd cards out and then flashing the spl normally.
Just make sure you follow directions for your device and try different roms.
Good luck and feel free to ask questions, even if some of the people here have heard them way too often.

Actually the WWE (World Wide English) one seems to be used more in Europe and this side of the world. For down-under, they use SEA South East Asia versions. There are issues with ROM compatibility in Australia specifically (at least in the WM 6.0 days) so if you want to know the best official WM 6.0 and 6.1 ROMs, short of searching for what setups Australian xda-dev forum members are using, you could look at the devices on sale in the shops. If you're wanting WM 6.1 just to have the latest and greatest, think again and have a look at the Windows Mobile 6 vs. Windows Mobile 6.1 thread.
***Edit*** Also note that there are two Australian specific ROMs in the WM 6.0 section of the Kaiser HTC ROM wiki
Hi all, i got installed HardSPL ver 1.x on my Tilt for use HTC and custom ROMs, but i got a question... what do version 3x of HardSPL? i can flash more ROMs? its better perfomarce 3.x than 1.x? i am a little lost in this aspect
1.x is primarily for the unlocking process, most to ALL Custom roms reccomend 3.29 these days, check with your chef.

not 3.56? i thought this was the newest and "best"...
I am using 3.56 and all works fine...
Did not noticed any difference between 3.29 and 3.56
3.29 SPL is extracted from the 3.29 Kaiser ROM, which until recently has been the latest official Kaiser ROM. (the 3.34 SPL from the newer 3.34 ROM has not been hacked)
3.56 SPL is extracted from the 3.56 Tilt ROM.
Anyway, you could all find these answers in the sticky SPL threads and not make *another* SPL thread.

But you could post this in the SPL sticky. I believe you understood enough to find it, didn't you.
To be constructive: it is recommended that you update to a 3.x SPL with a WM6.1 ROM.
It's as safe as any other flash, meaning that you can brick your device if you don't now what you're doing, but not more.

I've been reading through the forums a bit, and I have flashed a few roms already...(obviously im a noob)...I keep seeing people who say they have SPL: 3.29Hard2. I read through mskip's noob thread for flashing and I used the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe as guided in the thread...
What is the difference between the two?

Jump SPL helps you to install HardSPL. HardSPL is what you need to flash ROMs other than stock ROMs.
I went into the bootload to check my SPL and when I did, it says SPL-1.0.OliPof
Should I update/upgrade it? Does it make any difference?
Short answer is that generally speaking 3.29 or above works best w/ WM 6.1 and 3.34 or above works best w/ 6.5 ... but as always YMMV.
Hard-SPL for Kaiser is tough thing to unravel, so here's a splendid resource --> Kaiser Hard-SPL Rollup Thread
BTW, there's two versions of 3.29 and 3.56 -- .Hard by jockyw2001 and .Hard2 by cmonex, and to this day I'm not entirely sure why...
