noob question, sorry but this is my first ever flash and im confidant i can do it
basically i want to unlock my phone to work with other sim cards im on orange uk stock rom but i want to use other sim cards, even if its just to check ones i find around my house
i picked up instructions from here
forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039
in this it tells me i need to flash the phone with the radio again once i finished but ive checked threads and theres only htc roms and atnt roms and cooked ones
ihave rom version 1.81.61.2 wwe adn radio 1.27.14.32
What rom do you want? you can use a cooked rom just fine with your phone.... Or you could used the generic HTC rom.
Did you register for the HTC club? if your phone is HTC branded you can usually download roms right from there.
double posting you should be ashamed of yourself
Yeah, you really should be flammed... Cause I commented on the other post too...

This is because the 'unlocking' process is specific to a particular ROM i.e. install a ROM that can be unlocked, then replace the 'unlock-ROM' with the original ROM or one of your own.
Not all ROMs are available, so searching for a copy of your original ROM to re-install is beneficial if you wish to keep the original on your phone (warranty etc blah blah blah).
PS. There is nothing wrong with the 'unlock-ROM' if you wish to keep it on the phone.
i should ashamed but im not, since this post has slight differences to the one in geberal and besides i needed a fast answer and theres more people here

just follow the instructions to unlock the phone ( by flashing the patched radio) then once it is unlocked flash a different ROM. ( Dutty's or the new Throttle ROM, best one so far. Looks COOL!!! and runs great too.......lol ) Once you step away from the HTC ROMS the Kaiser is in a world of its own. So much better with a cooked ROM compared to a branded one. No contest....
yeah but i cant find my radio anywhere its 1.27.14.32 and now spl wont flash

just flash a newer radio after you unlock. Should work OK...... a lot of the cooked ROM's have preffered radios anyway.
The way I did it:- First flash HardSPL, then unlock phone using instructions, after complete decide which cooked ROM to flash and its corresponding preferred radio. The result: works like a charm, no problems....
see that the thing ive done my device just the wae i want but the sim unlocker needs my origional radio and i cant get it
and now my hard spl wont work after the dos bit does its business in loads up kaisercustom ruu or summit and this nees an activsync connection but the stepss on the first part of the hardspl thingy render the phone in bottloader and the activsync icon grey
Hey guys i just unlocked my phone and put mighty rom 4 in it and it eats up all my memory. i need help finding a better rom for my Verizon Touch Pro Non Sim card. and im a noob at this just got the phone today..
Read this sticky on Flashing a CDMA device
Spend some time in the wiki
And whatever rom u choose is a personal preference. Check out NRGZ28's roms, they seem to be the most popular. Be sure to only flash a CDMA rom!

You would not have been able to flash a cooked ROM unless the phone was unlocked.
Are you saying yuou flashed then unlocked?
Doesn't make any sense.
I understand you're a noob, do I strongly suggest you read BEFORE you flash, then you won't have questions such as these.
If you flashed a ROM that "ate up all your memory" then you did something wrong.
I would suggest flashing back to a stock ROM and go to the CDMA flashing guide for noobs.
You can flash directly to a new ROM if you are unlocked.

No i didnt flash then unlock. I wana know if i can put new firmware on my phone with the mighty rom on it... Like get rid of the mighty rom and put somthing else on it with out going in the flash guide and unlocking my phone again and stuff like that... Also can i put WM6.5 Rom on my phone even tho it has 6.1 on it. and whats the difference between CDMA And the other thing
I have Verizons "Version" of the touch. oh and i forgot when i say it using all my memory mean like after and hour of use it will be at 82% mem usage with all the programs closed
If you are unlocked, you can flash a cooked ROM over the one that you have now, even if its WM6.5.
CDMA means you have no SIM card where GSM has a SIM card, so you need to read specifically for flashing a CDMA ROM to your phone, or you will brick it.
Also, I thnk the 82% is your battery level. Where do you see the 82%
on the top right corner i press it and has the lil mem icon and it says 78% next 2 it. whats a good backup program for my contacts and data

Ok, that is the task manager program usage.
78% seems high with nothing running but you can open task manager and it will tell you which programs are using iup your resources.
If you try to restore PIM backup to Manila it will hose up Manila, so I use Microsoft's MyPhone program to sync my contacts, texts, even music and pics to a server.
Alright man cool. Thanks for your help
I just got a ATT fuze, and I think that all of the att bloatware is slowing the thing down. Is there a tutorial anywhere on how to de-brand it? If not, anybody feel like helping me out with it? I have the unlock code to sim unlock it but thats it.

Hi, do u mean taking the logo off the front of the device or flashing a faster rom? for rom make sure u flash Hard spl(check the noob guide) and for the logo if its not actually in the glass on the front then u would open your phone cover up and scrape the logo off(not recomended). once u have hard spl u can change the logo that shows when u turn it on and the gay att animation.
That's pretty much what this entire forum is all about. You need to check out the ROM section of the Raphael sub-section and read the sticky's there. I would HIGHLY recommend installing the Energy ROM series. If you are going from the AT&T ROM to that you will be floored with the increase in speed and just overall sexyness.

Just the software/firmware. I could care less what the phone actually looks like as long as it works correctly.
Anybody have any recommendations on what ROM to flash? It's actually going to my girlfriend once I get this ATT branding off of it, so the easier to use the better. I was thinking about just loading the unbranded touch pro's ROM if I can find it, unless the cooked ROMs would be ok for someone who probably won't want to reflash ROMs often.
If you need stability, flash a WM6.1 ROM, the WM6.5 ROMs are still beta and a little buggy.

EneryROM - a totally different experience.. try it ...
I think I'm gonna try one of the engeryrom 6.1 ROMs. Thanks guys!
Out of curiosity, lets say that I brick the phone, anyway to bring it back?

To brick your phone implies that is is dead and cannot be brought back.
There are very few instances where a device cannot be bought back.
If you read the Noob flashing guide, make sure you have Hard SPL installed and follow the directions to the letter, you won't brick your phone.
One thing to remember, as you start flashing ROMs, you will want to flash back to stock ROM in between flashing customs ROMs as the RUU wrappers do not completely overwrite the previous ROMs but flashing back to stock does.

So bricking a phone would be one of those instances where it's not coming back, right? I just want to make sure that I understand it...

I'm not really planning on reflashing a lot honestly, since it's not my personal phone. If that was the case, then I'd probably play a bit more with it.
It does look pretty straight forward but I always tend to worry a bit when I do something new. I don't really expect anything bad to happen though.
Just a warning, its very addicting....
It looks like it is. I wish my e63 had the same hacks that these have for them. I see a lot of room for improvment on it...
I wouldn't say all the 6.5 ROMs are buggy. Get the latest EnergyROM which is 6.5. The buggy ones are 6.5.1 which are changing the UI.
First.off all lets stop the discussion about which is the best ROM! LOOK FIRST into debloating a stock ROM. Arupenthal and myself have good threads about it. SECOND look into hardSPL and understand what it does. THIRD I agree that a good start would be a 6.1 based ROM again arupp and NRG (2.0) ROMs may be the best start. Careful flashing a stock HTC TouchPro ROM. It may work w/o hardSPL but the keyboard layout differs and requires at least one more cab (fuzekeyboard) and even ATT connection setup.. Be patient read a lot and understand what you are doing and what'ss going on!! It'll take some time but Rome wasn't built in a day either
Hey everybody..
which is the best ROM-Emulator, so i can test the ROM's on my PC before flashing my phone ?
thx
So far I only know of one... and it's from the man himself. do a google search~
http://www.google.com/search?q=wm+6...s=org.mozilla:en-US:official&client=firefox-a
Also, I don't think you can load NBH files through the emulator. There's a size limit. You need to run a kitchen.
Well thx,
i can't chose another OS. I downloaded the Energy-ROM, but when I click on configure at the Emulator, I can't choose another ROM
Can anybody help ???
thx
I think if there would be good running emulator what could take different roms, we would not have so much bricks.
Most of the people would not flash so many roms to try out the best.
I think if u like a diff rom than u have to take the risk of flashing.

For the most part, the only people who truly brick their phones are people who can't read and follow instructions. An emulator isn't going to help them. Flashing a rom that doesn't boot is usually not a big deal; it happens frequently when you cook roms. Bricks occur when people flash the wrong hard spl, radio or unlocker. That's pretty much it. Even the guys who post that they flashed a gsm rom onto their sprint touch pro normally recover the phone when they flash a stock rom to it (assuming they figure out how to do it).
ive searched and havent really found anything on this but i was wondering if you can flash a fuze on a vista 64bit laptop and another question. I downloaded a rom it was called "Energy.RAPHAEL.23557.Sense2.5.Cookie.HomeTab.Apr.14" i was wondering if i have to flash a radio after i flash that rom or is it an all in one rom any help will be much appreatied thanks
For the first question, yes. I've Flashed ROMs using Vista x64 and Win7 x64. No issues yet-to-date.
For the second question, be safe. Flash the new Radio BEFORE you flash the Energy ROM.
thank you for the replay ive read the radios form but im still not sure which ones will work for a fuze could you please tell me a radio that will work

Do yourself and us some favor:
Read this thread at least the first few posts
Know if your phone is hardSPL'd or not
Know how to backup and restore your contacts
ROM and Radio are independent, almost all ROMs come WITHOUT Radio so a new ROM wont override your Radio and vice versa
Stay with a 21xxx ROM in the beginning
If the flash with your vista PC doesn't work, flash from SD card (use search to find out how - hint: read what I linked already).
Raphael and Cingular Radios will work on the Fuze B U T none of the Blackstone, Quartz and Xperia will for them you'll need hardSPL AND a CID unlocked phone!!!
I H I G H L Y suggest hardSPL prior trying to flash ANY ROM here in the forum!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
im pretty sure my phone is already hardslp it was already flashed to a energy rom when i bought it thank you for the reply
Cool that saves you some reading.
What's left is a good Radio rilphone combo (try 14.25.05 Radio) and a ROM you like. As said I'd start with a 21xxx based one (either Sense 2.1 or 2.5). There are plenty around.
Thank you I think I got all the information I need except on the back up program to use I have sprite backup but I've read that some people have problems with that is there any better ones to use and if I back up my phone cuz I use the backup on the rom I flash to?
It depends on what data/information you wish to keep.
If you wish to keep your Contacts, Calender Entries, Texts, Pictures, etc.. Use Microsofts' MyPhone Service. *Recommended*
If you wish to keep all of the above + installed Apps, & Registry Settings, I'd suggest checking out SPB Backup. *Not Recommended :: Registry Conflicts may Occur*
ok so i think i got all the info i need im going to try to flash my phone now im not going to do a hardspl cuz it was flashed to an energy rom when i bought it
Sounds good. Hope all goes well.
Be sure to reply with updates.. or if you need any further assistance.
everything went great! happy with my new rom had no problems flashing at all thanks everyones for your help!
Glad we could help you.
