I am planning to get a Vodafone 1615 (HTC Kaiser) in Netherlands but my phone vendor says that it is available with him only in Dutch. I would like to change it to an English version but the forums here don't give me a conclusive answer, i.e. they talk about Kaiser, AT&T tilt, etc but not vodafone 1615.
Can someone help me with:
1. Where can I get an English ROM? preferably Vodafone 1615 English ROM or a English ROM upgrade that has worked on a vodafone 1615?
2. How do I go about upgrading the ROM? I have seen the instructions regarding HardSPL and just wanted to confirm if I can just go with tha.
Unfortunately, getting it from another vendor is not an option for me. And at this time, I am not too bothered about a SIM unlock.
Thanks in advance.

Hi, i'm requesting for a chinese rom image for the kaiser, it can be either simplified or, traditional. Thanks in advance!!!!! I think i saw some people having problems with rom's extraction or what not, i'm a bit confused as to what they were talking about but i don't wanna brick my device since i moved from 8125, to Hermes, now to Kaiser........and been successful, i've already flash one of my kaiser to original rom, but i just got another Kaiser and i need to make is have chinese on there for a friend, Please someone help me,
Thanks!
Jason
P.S. I really enjoy reading the great posts here.
Me too, I flashed my Kaiser from Traditional Chinese to English, and it is now working perfectly. However, I do want to have a Chinese, hopefully Traditional Chinese, ROM "backup" so that I can flash my Kaiser back to Chinese before I take it back to HTC for repair.
Please do share with us.
So I'm guessing that there isn't anyone here with a version of any Chinese ROM for the Kaiser...........could this possibly be true????? any help please!!?!?!?!?!?!?!?!??!!? THANKS
I have the 1010 version and I am trying to figure out how to dump the rom out since I want to flash mine to English. Will post it once I have it dump out.

bokingwen, thanks for the info, but ultimate posted the dump rom in July, I am afraid it is qute a old version. I bought my Kaiser/TyTN II in Hong Kong in mid October, it is a standard unlocked TyTN II with Traditional Chinese ROM. A few days later, I dumped the ROM, and flashed it with HTC standard English ROM. It is working fine for me now.
However, I need to get my ROM dump into an executable image so that I can restore my TyTN Ii if I need to take it back to HTC for repair. Do you , or someone out there, knows how to do it. I followed the instructions in the other thread in this forum to revert the ROM but with no luck. Since then, I gave up, and wait for someone kind enough to post the file in the forum.
If you guys need a original HTC Traditional Chinese ROM Dump, I uploaded to Rapidshare. Here is the link: http://rapidshare.com/files/66749161/Kaiser_Original_Chinese_ROM.rar
If you happen to make it an executable image, please do share with us. Thanks.

Hello,
With my understanding. No one successful make a working Chinese raw ROM back to flashable ROM. Since the ROM has some problem.
I have one rebuild by imgfs tools 2.1rc2. But it lost almost all HTC customization except HTC home. It may caused by imgfstools shrink the storage rom or other reason. It is unknown now.
I am planning to fix the ROM but searching for hint here.

Hi kfluk, thanks for your advise. I keep reading your conversation between you and austinsync in the other thread, I know you have been working hard on this topic. You are the expert among all of us, in term of Chinese ROM. Please do update us if you come up something. Appreciate your hard work!
Good info I guess I can save my time on working on the rom, looks like it is not going to work. I was going to flash mine to English ROM too.
I'm confused as to what you guys are talking about...I'm currently downloading the two ROM DUMPS, and so they aren't executables i suppose, so......are they tested as working ones, or there are a few errors in them?????
Like, what can i do...except the SPL thing to install the rom........are u guys saying that there is no way currently (as of right now) to flash a Kaiser to Chinese Rom easily?
As i understand is that, we have the files of the ROM, but we can't create the EXE to make it run and put the ROM in?

I think the current status of Chinese ROM are:
1. You are dump the ROM from the Chinese version of Kaiser/TyTn II.
2. However no one is able to turn these dumped ROM to a flashable ROM.
3. You are right there is no way to flash a Chinese ROM back to the Kaiser, yet?
Correct me if I am wrong.

The name of the rom is:

Should be Traditional Chinese 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
Can someone link me to the latest proper T-mobile UK rom please? So I can restore it all back to stock.
I need to send phone in for repair, lost where I dumped my rom. I can only find on the wicki/on here links to NL T-Mobile roms.
T-Mobile site has nothing for the mdaIII (kaiser).
Much appreciated,
Greg.
Failing that - anyone got a T-Mobile UK rom they dumped from their own phone?
Greg.
Found this on Google. If it's what your after, can you let us know and someone (or you) will upload it and update the wiki.

What about http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1586817&postcount=2 (6th one down i think) taken from the FAQ, Wiki, Stickies & Tutorials thread? is that one not any good?
paradoox
Paradoox - it might be, thankyou. But it is listed as OS Only Big Storage - I presume this isn't how T-mobile shipped my Kaiser. The other one DaveShaw is listed as OS only so I presume it won't put my radio/splash back etc, like the one above.
Are either any use do you think if I want to put my Kaiser back exactly as it was out the box?
Greg.
hiya,
iv flashed the reconstructed rom iv refered to before, and it works fine, the original tmobile splash screen is here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=374190 (post 5). im supposing you know how to flash it
in regards to the original radio, i honestly cant remember what it was. check out the kaiser ultimate radio thread, if i find out, il let you know.
paradoox
p.s the rom is reconstructed but as far as im aware its exactly the same as a normal release rom, its just someone has taken the tmobile uk operating system end product from a kaiser and made it into a rom as it has not been officially released. it flashes in exactly the same way as you'd flash anything else.
i have sent mine back one with a duttys rom on it, the technical support are that stupid they probably dont even know that flashing software on the device is even possible
i would say as long as u have the tmobile splash rom on it and 6.0, they wont even know the difference
