Hey Guys

Great looking forum here and great to see all the people offering so much support. Had my Wizard for about a year and now its out of warranty I thought i'd have a play . Theres obviously a few tutorials to follow before flashing a ROM, but i was just going to say, I regularly get Connection Error while trying to flash other ROM's onto this phone. I tried to flash Schaps WM6 ROM to it, but it said connection error. However I have sucessfully flashed the T-mobile 2.26 ROM twice, therefore I am not sure if its the phone or the rom or what. Do you reckon if i follow those tutorials it will sort the connection error issue, or is that a problem with my PC. I have a few WM6 on my PC, crossbow, helmi, etc etc, so i was wondering which you recommend etc. Thanks very much, hopefully ill be able to input something when i learn a bit more

follow the tutorials,
be sure you are cid /sim unlock
only flash roms found in the wizard forum, not on other devices forum, roms are device specific
happy flashing

Schaps rom is for HERMES
If you want to brick your PDA, then be bold and try roms designed for other devices, but you will certainly BRICK IT
If you have a HTC Wizard then, just like the man before me said, do the following :
Find out if your device is a G3 or a G4
If it's a G3 CID Unlock it (not same as SIM Unlock !!!). If it's a G4, then check the G4 Forum to see what you can do.
Choose a rom that you like most but make sure that it's designed for WIZARD, so i suggest only search in the Wizard forum.

check here:

Ah right, thanks for that guys, im very glad i didnt flash it with a other ROM now. I certainly don't want to brick it, although it is insured for a while so i could happen to drop it haha
Are there any ROMs you can recommend to me . I am always up for trying them

ok, i think ive CID Unlocked my phone now. Dropped it to Button 1.05 did the lokiwiz bat then dropped it again to bring my SPL down. Ive just put on the t-mobile 2.21 ROM, now am I ready to upgrade to WM6? or do i need to put 2.26 on? Cheers

Go check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320159 .
That is a ROM Kitchen that has pretty much every option you could want in it! Very stable base, and many many options. and if you have any questions, they have probably already been answered in that thread, and if not, "theloon"(the creator) will answer them for ya. Right now its one of the best IMO, and especially for what you are looking for.

hi
As u have still not flashed any wm6 roms as yet, I wud rather suggest first flash and install a couple of cooked roms from others,just to have the feel of them and get used to the newer features added in them. Only when u get urself comfortable with them and understand their working,and above all r successful in flashing roms,inly then start thinking about cooking ur own rom.
There r a couple of very fantastic build Roms by excellent cookers here in this Forum u can start off with e.g
faria's "The real thing Rom",
Mfraaz " Xm6r3"
it's right " Tnt 5 or his Latest Professional+HTC Home"
Xplorer1.1 etc etc
They r all cooked for Wizards specifically.Just search the forum or hit the 'SEARCH' button above,
Welcome to the Flashing lunatics Forum
Happy Flashing

Just put on WM6 TNT1437 and am really impressed. Didnt take long to flash and didnt have any problems with it hanging Runs like a beast, dead quick and I am really impressed with this whole cube thing it seems a bit of useless fun hehe . although there is like a red, yellow and green line at the top of the screen. is that normal?

Okay, I feel a fool Thats the battery meter haha This is great. Its dead fast and runs a lot smoother. I think i am going to like this whole cooking your own Windows thing
Thanks

Grrrrrrrrrrr8

Glade to hear,that u have upgraded and enjoying it
it's a whole new experience.
If u don't feel comfortable with TouchFLO and the cube,than I'll suggest u flash the other equally excellent Professional + HTC Home Rom,u'll even like it much better.
If u dont want multicolor battery bar(comes by default) at the top,u can disable by open WinXplore then startup folder and remove battery level.lnk (you can use file explorer on the folder windows/startup)

T-mobile ROM or HTC ROM plus other questions!

Hi all i have been using pda phones for a long time and have followed this website for quite a while...
I have an obsession for these kind of phones...so today i upgraded my phone from vario to the new vario 3.
One of the first things i plan to do is flash the ROM/Radio (not to good with the terminology).
i was wondering what people think of the t-mobile rom ENG or any other versions of it and whether i would be better off using the original htc one...i wasnt really fond of the rom for the vario.
also i havent flashed a phone in a long long time (last time was for my mda compact which was nearly 2/3 years ago!)..so i wanted to ask is there anything i should know? i have been reading the threads and i wanted to know which version of the hard spl should i use because there are several different stickies with difference hard spl
Can you update the radio serparatly from the rom? or can you do them both at the same time? and also which radio and rom would you recommend?
and also where can i learn to understand what exactly rom/radio/ext rom are exactly..i have a respectable idea of what they are but jus wanna make sure i know what im doing before i do it..
and also what does dumping a rom do?
thanks for your help
sorry if these questions have already been asked!

I've got no problems with it, actually. Sure, there's a few tweaks need installing, but I don't think there's anything serious enough to risk changing the ROM for - the device hasn't been out long enough for people to make any significant additions to it and as far as I know, there aren't any official upgrades out yet.
I've stuck the MoDaCo Vario III de-brand on, to change the icons back to sensible colours, then picked up other tweaks from this site and MoDaCo.
Easier than a ROM flash, reversible, and risk-free.
Before you rush off and flash a new ROM, ask yourself what you're actually trying to accomplish.

Any particular tweaks that you would recommend here or the modaco website?
was trying to get rid of some of the bloatware that i didnt want that t-mobile provides..but i will take ur advice and not rush into it..will wait for a month or two before i start prying around...
plus the skin/today/theme/front page (dont know what it is but it surely has to be one of those) of the htc rom and orange rom looks cool!
do you know where i can get that from?
i.e. these ones htc
(http://www.trustedreviews.com/mobile-devices/review/2007/08/10/HTC-P4550-Kaiser-Smartphone/p3)
and orange (where it says software)
(http://www.tracyandmatt.co.uk/blogs/index.php/2007/09/07/htc_tytn_ii_review)
ps thanks for ur help and advice
im at work so it wont let me check the modaco website...but i will check it out when i get home

The T-Mobile ROM is about as near to the HTC one as an operator ROM is ever likely to get. The only piece of un-needed bloat was a trial version of F-Prot Antivirus; which takes a few seconds to uninstall. Even de-branding it is a pretty short job, as for once they haven't splashed pink everywhere.

The VarioIII rom from t-mob is actually very good... been using it for a few weeks, and feel no need to flash the 'proper' htc one...
tmob seem to have learnt to leave well alone... finally

cheers for ur advise u guys
any tweaks in particular u would recommend i have seen the scha'p's advanced configuration tool im gonna use that...anything else?

The first tweak I'd recommend is Paul's Debrand that I mentioned in my previous post. Gets rid of a lot of the pink and switches back to nice Windows colours.
The Trusted Mobiles picture looks like it's using the Windows Default theme.
If you tap Start, Settings, Today then Windows Default, hit OK and return to the Today screen. Should look pretty similar.
Go back to that page again and tap the Items tab at the bottom. The giant widget with the clock is the HTC Home plugin. All I've got on my Today screen are that (modified) and the Calendar.
To modify the HTC Home plugin, head over to http://www.pocketemu.com/hhc-info.html and download the HTC Home Customizer. This is a fantastic app. Poke around the site, find the themes you want, then download, install and configure it.
The other biggie you'll want is the Kaiser Tweak. Have a read through that thread, but it's fairly self explanatory once you run it.
That should give you a start, anyway. Enjoy!

ROM Advice for SPV C600

Hi,
I am really wanting to upgrade my SPV C600 to WinMo6. But first i need advice.
What ROM will keep all of my current working functions, working?? i want to be able to use my phone as i do now, just on WM6.
Also, i would quite like it to look like this IF possible.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=wv5aeDB6kwY
What are your recommendations?
Keith.

Which ROM?
The video you've been looking at is the standard WM6.1 Home screen. GnatGoSplats WM6.1 Clean ROM uses this interface, and it seems to be a good, stable ROM. Personally though, and this is just a matter of personal preference, I've found that although WM6.1 is the latest, WM6 ROM's tend to work better, be more stable and keep your device running with most if not all of your current 'stuff'.
I'm using SGregory's WM6 with the 'Neo' home screen, which in my opinion is a far better home screen interface than the standard WM6.1 you're talking about - but again, it's just personal preference.
One thing you will find though is that most ROM 'cookers' remove a lot of useless apps which most people never use so you can have more free memory to install the stuff you do use - I think it's called 'user choice'! Rather than Microsoft dictating which software is on your device, you can add the stuff you want and leave all the crap out.
If you're worried about upgrading your ROM because your device won't be the same, don't do it... that's the whole point of upgrading - your device WON'T be the same, it will be BETTER!!

Haha, thanks.
Have you got any screenshots of NEO? Also, could you link to that rom you thought was best and say what i would be losing/gaining?
Also , how easy is it to get it back to stock orange?

All the info you need my friend is right here in this forum. It's too time consuming for anyone to list all the pros and cons of various custom ROM's - just try one, if you don't like it, try another.
If you want to put the original Orange ROM back on (you won't when you've tried a decent ROM), you can download it from Orange website. Just type 'Orange SPV C600 ROM' into Google.

Is it really that easy to put it back as it was? If i did the recovery (hold 2 soft keys) would that not work anymore?
Also, will upgrading the radios not bother it in any way?
And by the orange rom, do you mean the one that adds the push email?

By 'Recovery' I assume you mean hard-reset. If so, no, that won't put it back to how it was. That will just reset all the settings to default and remove any third-party software which you have installed, thus leaving the device in a 'new' state (new, according to the ROM you have installed, not new as in just bought from Orange).
If I were you, I would leave it as it is because you're obviously way too concerned about messing up your device

I dunno about that last part, he's just a newbie. When I first got my Tornado I was scared to death to upgrade from WM5 to WM6 because I was afraid of bricking my phone. But I had a buddy who owns a Wizard watching over my shoulder while I followed the tutorial step-by-step, which was a big confidence-builder. And when it installed perfectly, I had the hang of it, and I've been experimenting occasionally with new ROMs ever since.
Keithoms, as long as you follow Karhoe's tutorial you're golden. And you'll never want to go back to the original ROM again - this I promise you. WM6 and WM6.1 are light years better than WM5. And don't you worry about bricking your phone - you have to seriously screw up the process to do that. Upgrade the radio for better reception, upgrade the ROM for better functionality.
And, I recommend doing like I did: read. Spend some time on this forum and just read threads. Read, read, read. Forums like this are great for getting questions answered, and chances are your question has been asked at least once before, and you're quite likely to find the answer to your question before you need to post it. If you can't find it, post, and we'll answer away. And, as an added bonus, by digging through the forums each day, you're likely to come across questions that you never thought to ask, and answers that fix problems you didn't realize you had.
And, last but not least, ENJOY! I've been in love with Windows Mobile phones ever since I got mine, and the number of things you can do with them are limitless.
Some threads you should read:
Karhoe's WM6 upgrade how-to. It looks like a lot of steps, but it's not really. It goes very fast - if you're SLOW, it might take you 25-30 minutes.
Nitro's WM6 ROM - you can substitute this for the ROM suggested by Karhoe's tutorial without any ill effects at all.
A whole collection of ROMS and software for the Tornado.
Hope this was helpful, and hope you have an awesome day!

Hi, thanks for the replies. For the radio, i was only meaning, would it bother the old orange rom in any way if i decided to go back with the radio still updated.
I am a bit paranoid, but that is only because i bought the phone yesterday and spent all of my money on it.
I have read karhoes guide around 20 times. Giving it a thought, i take it the only way to brick it is to either not SuperCID it before its flashed, to do format BINFS wrongly and to knock out the cables and/or run out of batterys as it is doing GMSUpdate and the actual rom flash.
So if i avoid those things, i should be fine? :S

I'm on nights so I'm moody!
- Perhaps I was a bit short with you to tell you to leave it alone. djsleepwalker is right... if you follow the guide to the letter, you shouldn't have any issues. Even if you do, someone in this forum has the answer you need.
You will never regret upgrading your ROM and you'll never want to put the original Orange ROM back on, that's for sure. I've used Windows Mobiles since 2002 and I've only started messing with ROM's a couple of years ago.. I wish I'd done it sooner. The benefits far outway the risks

Well, i just went ahead and did the full shebang!
I bought a new housing from fluffcat1, fitted that.
Then.... installed GGS's WM6
Uber-Epic romz....
Thanks to all that helped me get through this without any damamamagamage to my phone.

Is there a HOWTO or a tutorial somewhere?

Hey guys,
Sorry for the extreme noobness of this post, but I am completely lost here. It appears that ROMeOS 4.1 is the ROM to get. But then I read that you need to install HardSPL first, then you need to pick the right radio and install that, but you need to be sure that it is the right radio for you, etc. None of this makes any sense at all to someone who has never done this before. Will I lose all the apps I've installed when I do this? If so, what is the best/easiest way to back them up so I can reinstall them after the ROM update? I also read that you need to install a keyboard fix, a screen freeze fix, and extra apps that came originally on the device need to be downloaded and installed.
I guess what I'm asking is, how do I make this $650 piece of junk that HTC won't support (they refuse to give me ROMs for it since I bought it through Amazon) into a device that is worth using with some simple step-by-step instructions? The speed and unreliability of it in its stock form for this price is completely inexcusable. I am very ready to make some donations as well.
Any help is appreciated. Thank you!

Thank you so much Kareem! That pretty much answered all my questions. Maybe I'm blind, but I did not see a link to that particular wiki in the stickied thread about tutorials. I think there should be a sticky in this forum with a title: HELP! I'm a noob and I need to flash my ROMS! With that link included.
Thanks again, you rock!
Oh, and I do have one last question, what radio has had the most reliability with the ROMeOS 4.1?

If you are looking for a section dedicated to n00bs, check out GWENI, linked in my signature. It was written for n00bs, by a self-proclaimed n00b.

According to Hang Tuah's (the creator of ROMeOS) post in the dedicated thread here: "I personally tried NEON 1.58.25.17, KAIS 1.65.24.36 & KAIS 1.71.09.01".

Hi, the trickiest part of the bussiness is to do the HardSPL, which will allow you to flash any ROM or radio.
Then, if you do not want to complicate your life too much, flash one of the HTC WM 6.1 official ROMs.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
Or pick a cooked ROM that has all included (i.e. not Lite ROMs), operating system, Office, Windows Live, and a radio firmware.

hardSPL install is not tricky but its the MOST IMPORTANT thing you need to do. just follow the directions carefully and you will have no issues. Radios are personal preference BUT newer WM6.1 roms need the newer 1.65.xx.xx radios but again there is a whole thread explaining this also
enjoy your toy!

wow someone who posted with concern before bricking the device..and he did his homework as well he could before hand CHEERS!! As you'll quickly learn most noobs flash first, brick, then want the xda community to fix it without them having to do anything(like read). So I applaud you.

Heh. Thanks liquidfork. I'm pretty big into Linux and open source, so I know to read as much as I can find first and then attempt.
So, I did successfully flash ROMeOS 4.1 on my device after putting HardSPL 3.56 on it and the newest radio (forget the version offhand). It's blazing fast now. But, a small problem: When I try to restore my sprite backup, the phone will start up with the "bios" screen, but it just sits there and never boots. Now, Sprite backup complains that it needs a .sbu file that I can get from their website. I see nothing on their website about .sbu files. Is there any way to restore my stuff, or am I hosed? I do miss the HTC today screen and some of the utilities I had. I'd hate to have to roll back to an "official" ROM for this.
Thanks again for your help guys, this community is great.

Anyone? I would like to avoid reinstalling everything if at all possible. Thanks.

You cannot restore Sprite Backups from ROM to ROM. It is designed to restore your files and settings when doing a hard reset of reflashing the same ROM.
Sprite Backup does have a ROM Upgrade feature, but I've yet to see it work.

Through experimentation, I figured as much. That's too bad. I've come to find that while the ROMeOS is quite a bit faster than the WM6 that came on the device, it is very spartan. I've gotten used to the little gadgets in the HTC roms, particularly their today screen, some of the settings, and some of the utilities. I think I'm going to flash with a shipped WM6.1 from HTC and see how it works, I will try doing a Sprite backup restore on that as well, but I'm not holding my breath that it will work. Is there a huge difference in speed between the shipped HTC ROM and a cooked ROM? Better yet, is there a cooked ROM that gives most or all of the HTC functionality but is faster?

The perfect ROM is like the perfect beer. Everyone has their own opinions and taste.
However... I will say this. It is better to find a fast rom and then search these forums for the appropriate cabs for those applications you can't do without.
Not only will you only have the ops you want, but I have all those cabs on a secure digital card... then you use sashimi to load them when you perform a flash...
Because once you have done a flash... you will be doing more...
As they say on the TV about golf weenies... these guys are good... and there is always a new ROM that looks marvy.

True, I can see that now. I think the main thing I'm missing that I can't live without is being able to click in the upper right on the today screen and stop running processes from there. Especially since with ROMeOS 4.1, going into the task manager has locked up my phone twice now. If I can figure out how to get that functionality back, I think I can live with the rest. Is that functionality in the HTC home CAB that is in the extended cabs for ROMeOS? I'll probably install the CAB anyhow just to see.

Download and install this cab I've attached.

Heres a link to AllTheWays 4Shaered pages he's one of the mods on here. It has all the applications you're looking for.

Help Please! Getting error with JumpSPL

Which folder on my device do I have to copy JumpSPL1.94 to?
I have SPL- 1.0.OlifPof, CPLD- 8 (whatever that means?)
I flashed a new Rom after a couple years of having a Dutty Rom (which made me hate my phone) now I like the new rom but my radio doesn't work.
I've spent lots of time reading guides already. Just want to know where to go from here before I change my radio (I have no sound!).
Any help guys?

I have tried two times to flash the Hard SPL I copied the JumpSPL then ran KaiserCustomRUU. But I keep getting an error and this time it was stuck at 0% and I had to recover. I don't want to brick.
Is there anyone around that can walk me through it?
Should I go back to the stock rom and start over?
As I said before I'm on SPL - 1.0.OliPof. Is that a hard SPL or do I have to JumpSPL then HardSPL?

Just follow the how to flash for noobs guide and follow the HardSPL directions EXACTLY! When HardSPL won't flash for me, it's usually because I didn't follow the instructions exactly (Eg didn't take out my SIM/SD card). Good luck and happy flashing.
Dave

Yes I followed it exactly. I followed the Noob Guide exactly and after Kaiser Unlocker, Step 2: Unlock Radio. I have a fuzzy screen after restart.
Damn it! Don't know what the hell to do now that's why I was asking.

Next I hard reset my phone to get passed the fuzzy screen. It went alright til the phone restarted and I got a loud buzzing sound coming out of the back speaker. The phone restarted again with another quieter buzzing sound.
R- 1.70.Olinex
It's allowing me to tap and setup device. Same buzzing noise throughout the whole process.

It's posts like this one that irritate the long term members of this board. They are not your perosnal tech support, so being pissy about them not responding as soon as you want (even with adding a smiley face) doesn't really get help.
I am a complete noob to this, but after doing a fair amount of research I can try to answer your questions because I had those questions as well and just kept reading until I took a leap of faith. And yes I know information on this site is hard to find. You just have to keep at it and read forum posts on several different ROMs and their issues and you will find commonalities.

I always drop mine into the root of the phone file system when it is connected to my PC through USB. Then I use file explorer on the device to navigate to and then run the file.

...I like the new rom but my radio doesn't work. I've spent lots of time reading guides already. Just want to know where to go from here before I change my radio (I have no sound!).

I suggest you go to the radio page which is listed on the Wiki (and so is the suggestion that the issue with your volume is related to the radio):

As I said before I'm on SPL - 1.0.OliPof. Is that a hard SPL or do I have to JumpSPL then HardSPL?

To change SPLs, you always need to stick a Jump SPL on your phone and run it, and then run the update for the specific hard SPL you want. I went for the JumpSPL 1.94 initially and found it didn't work. Stepping back to the original JumpSPL allowed me to follow the directions to a T (including removing the battery, SIM and SD cards, deactivating USB in ActiveSync, etc...).
So it sounds like you went to a 1.0 Hard SPL, and doing so changed your radio to the one you listed. Generally if you are running Windows 6.1 Mobile or Windows Mobile 6.5, then you want to look for a Hard SPL in the 3.X range. Which one is a bit of a "poke and hope" but you should use the version that matches the OS your ROM version is based off on (most Windows Mobile 6.5 versions are based off of the HTC OS version 3.34 which is why I changed my Hard SPL from 3.56 to 3.34).
So might I suggest you get on the SPL version that matches your ROM base OS (the chef should know which one if they haven't already listed it), and then update your radio. You don't need the Jump SPL stuff for the radio or Windows Mobile ROMs.
Good luck and as I said keep reading multiple threads to try and see what others are running into and how they fixed it.

Thanks hotfix. My smiley and comment were more a joke for me to keep it humorous. Because I knew i messed up and there was no point in getting mad. I ended up having to start over.
What you said about the 1.94 JumpSPL was the same issue I had I went to the original and had no issues.
Information here is EXTREMELY hard to sort through. Wiki's and guides link to each other and parts and files are scattered all over the place.
I'm just looking for a stable rom at this point. But it's not really clear cut on this board. Do you know of any cooks who choose Quality over Quantity with their Roms? Meaning they make sure things are fixed before moving on.

ROMs are different from chef to chef but some are created more equal than others. I'm hooked on TPC's Elite series. you've got to understand that not all ROMs work the same on everyone's phone. TPC's v9 is probably the best one i've seen in a while but his v10 incorporated some new parts that caused problems for many. Try his or ultimate x2 if you want stable and fast with lots of extras.
Just make sure you follow the directions in the FAQ and be sure to read their FAQ posts FIRST (TPC's is the post #4 in his thread

Off that link I posted, I searched for "cooked" and found a thread of all cooked ROMs. I have personally only been at this for less than a month, but I have been watching which ROMs are being updated and supported by the authors and which haven't.
I think you will find 2-3 to start with there if you simply watch the first page to see which ROMs are getting traffic (and if the feedback is good).
Stable is subjective. What is stable on one phone isn't necessarily stable on another. I was playing with on ROM everyone raved about and eventually ditched it because it kept doing wierd stuff that the authors couldn't reproduce. That and a v9 of a ROM can be very stable and a v10 can go off the deep end.
Right now I am playing with AthineOS (the multimedia version) and am quite pleased.

still should have asked the question in the right thread and waited for an answer instead of starting a new thread, i recommend reading forum rules before starting a new thread. http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=378

Sure. I agree, mods please delete or lock.
