Clarification of ROM Upgrading

Hi,
I am expecting my German XDA in the mail in the next few days.
I have been reading this forum for the past 2 weeks, and have tried to wade through all the great advice to educate myself on ROM upgrading issues. I would like to clarify that I understand this properly.
As I understand, in order to render my new XDA "O2-free" and customizable, not to mention english, I need to install a new ROM - probably the latest Imate ROM or maybe the PDAMobiz ROM.
Before I do this, should I Unlock the CID? From my reding, this will allow me to the install any ROM.
Is this an accurate understanding of everything involved?
Are there other better options to achieve my goal of a non-branded non-operator specific Jamin/Neo?
Is there a way to save my original German O2 ROM if it became necessary to return the unit for service?
I hope people do not object to thsi post. I know that it can be irritating when newbies post on topics which have already been discussed thoroughly. I have spent at least 2 weeks trying to educate myself on the procedures, and really would just like if some knowledgeable contributor could reassure me that I have not missed something obviuos.
Thanks,
Ronan

I'm still updating the page, but its working fine for my dutch s200 (now english dopod rom)

Hi,
I tried to follow the steps as outlined, but when I get to teh first soft reset, the device locks, and I can do nothing with it!
Please tell me how to fix it. Can I use bootloader?
How?
Thanks,
Ronan

Crisis averted!
Got into bootloader and installed the dopod rom.
Ro

Dear Ro,
have you upgrated your PDA?
Can you write your procedure?
Best regards
Daniele

please, read this topic and tell me what you think about it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54878

I entered bootloader then used the Dopod ROM with the modified romupdateutility.
I have not tried anything else.
Does anyone know of a solution for us SPL 2.15.0001 users? We seem to be very restricted in options.
Ro

Please, can you write the links where it is possible to download this rom and all the necessary files?

Thanks dears,
I have updated it with Dopod rom......but now....how can I update to I-mate JAMin (italian) rom?
Does someone have an Idea to how do it?
Thanks, thanks, thanks
Daniele

Yes, you have to go to ftp.clubimate.com there you can find the JAMin ROM's and also you can choose the language you want.
As you know, first, you must CID unlock, then you can download your favorite ROM. Tell us your opinon after install it.

need official HTC Kaiser rom

need official HTC Kaiser rom

there's only beta branded for operator

I'd also like the original shipped ROM if possible.
The one that is on the unlocked Kaiser's being sold all over the Internet...
Happy to donate for the service!

My UK Kaiser ROM
Let me know if you have any trouble downloading it. I've never used MediaFire before.
Oh, and I used XDA's testdump to extract it. Check out post 85 on this thread.

thx for your contribute
but seems the testdump or grab_it don't work on Kaiser, it's only 12.1M, I think the ROM size must large than 50M even compressed by WINRAR
maybe you should try this:http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom

I have gone to this link I have exactly done as written. Unfortunately it does not work.

Also searching from WWE ROM
I am also searching for the WWE ROM version for my HTC TyTN II (Kaiser)
Currently i am stuck with a Dutch version. At the moment i bought my model, the WWE wasn't available there
If any have a version ready to use, i would be gladdly to use it
I did some search on this forum, but i couldn't find one, if you can paste a link to that track.

People the ROM's that are out are posted very neatly in the Sticky Named Hard SPL - Flashing ROM's - Radios!! REG Tweaks! PagePool!! UPDATED 10/6 !!!
why dont you take a look there you will find all that you need! As of right now there is no way to reconstruct a dumped rom so even if you have a dump of a rom you cant flash it back to your Kaiser!

Dutch HTC stock rom?

Anyone can hook me up with that? so no T-Mobile dump? just the stock HTC rom?
i would want to have this so someone i know can flash his bricked device (stuck to bootloader) without HardSPL

Re
hey,
check this link:
I've created an "original" HTC ROM file for all Dutch people with a branded ROM...
It can be downloaded from: http://rapidshare.com/files/65328847/NLD_1.56.404.6_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.17_Custom.rar
It has been created with the (non-dumped) OS.nb from a Dutch branded ROM (don't ask me where it's from or where I got it), and the unbranded .raw file which can be found in this thread. The ROM version is 1.56.404.6.
Changes:
- Changed the HTC splash logo to default Windows Mobile logo
- Added the "French" radio ROM (1.27.12.17)
I've flashed it to my branded Kaiser myself, and it works perfectly. Enjoy!

Nice to see a fellow-GoTTer here
Its certainly worth a try, but im afraid that this ROM has a different SPL than the official dutch HTC rom image.
can someone correct me if i am wrong?

I can now also ccreate custum Dutch Kaiser Roms only i can test it because i dont have a kaiser

Then how can you create a dutch rom? i need an ORIGINAL HTC ROM with original IMGFS and XIP

Before I flashed mine to Dutty's 6.1, I've dumped my original Dutch unbranded HTC rom, and have the 4 .raw parts saved on my disk.
Don't know if it matters that I've had installed HardSPL before I dumped the original rom? If it doesn't matter, you can have the files, but I don't have any webspace for it.

That would be sweet! i will pm you my MSN so we can talk?

If you manage to re-create the dutch htc release rom i would be very interested in that. Maybe you can also place it in this wiki

Ill try to reconstruct it su nday and upload it, otherwise ill post the raw parts somewere to download, aftr work and some more beer

Touchscreen issue after flashed emonster ROM

Hey all. First of all, I'd like to thank all all the chefs creating ROM tutorials for newbs like me. I'm in japan and have 2 Kaisers, 1 is emobile's emonster, the other is from HTC and I'm using Softbank.
I wanted to extract emobile's ROM and flash it to my HTC so I would have 2 kaisers using emobile.
After going through all the tutorials, I successfully dumped and cooked the emobile ROM and created the nbh file. After flashing the HTC Kaiser with the emonster rom and powering it on, I get to the setup screen (it's in japanese so I guess I flashed the ROM correctly), but nothing happens after tapping the screen (none of the taps are getting recognized).
Has this happened to anyone after flashing? I tried a hard reset but the same thing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

1 day after(3. 29. 2008) come this forum & flashing then using well.
Maybe You something wrong.
Try other rom one more.

Try to cook the ROM with the HTC drivers on it, (touch screen ones) because maybe theres a little difference between the Emobile one and the HTC one!!

Can you point me in the right direction on how to include the HTC Drivers? Is it like a package I download and add while I'm cooking? I googled HTC drivers but came up with nothing.

Thanks so much for the quick reply!! I will try this tonight when I get home from work!!!

(Y) good luck, curiously, here is at night now xD
and a little question, does the emonster have the video drivers?? (for hardware acceleration )

by reading your first post again, a lot of ideas are coming to my mind right now, one is:
it could be the RADIO, that maybe is incompatible with the HTC kaiser, because the emonster has a different one or not? (f: 1700mhz)
and the HTC one doesnt have this freq.
so, maybe the radio is having issues with the current system because of hardware incompatibility.

No enhanced video drivers aside from radio weirdness it shoul be just like any of the windoze 6.0 Kaisers.

Thanks for your suggestion. I just recooked the rom with a touch.dll from an WWE rom as you suggested but nothing happens when tapping the screen.
You and Dejanet are correct that the emonster is on a 1.7Ghz frequency. So if there's any other suggestions you may offer, I'm all ears.
As Dejanet stated, unfortunately there are no improved video drivers
Thanks again...it's been a learning experience extracting, cooking, and flashing. I just don't know where to go from here...so close.....but soooooo far away hehe

do you know if emobile works on another frequency??..
if yes, you could try to cook the OS only, and use the emobile ROM with a RADIO from HTC. (obviously a compatible one, with your WM6 or WM6.1 )
give it a try ..

Since my goal was to get the phone switched to english. I tried flashing several of the OS only ROMS available here and ended up with a perfectly functional PDA but no phone.

could you provide the emonster ROM?
i'll try to get it compatible with the radio and a radio compatible with it..

We don't have access to the actual rom here is a link to the 4 raw files from a rom dump if that will help.
http://rapidshare.com/files/119668150/emonster_raw.zip

will sound really stupid but i cant (dont know) build the rom with the raws... (something is not working well )(( or maybe im stupid ))

dejanet: thanks for uploading the raws.
Isaygarcia: what files do you exactly need? Thanks for offering to help. Really appreciate it! And to reply to your previous post, no unfortunately emobile doesn't work with another frequency.

i dont know how to reconstruct the rom based on raw files xDU... (( yes im stupid..)) ((( but im just 18 years old --.-- )))

S11HT English Rom ?

Has anyone managed to convert the S11HT to English yet ?
I have searched the forums in vain - Who will rid us of this japanese OS ;-)
Don't mind being a beta tester btw ..

i was working on something similar, to port an english rom. but i cant make it work with the current radio of emobile.
stay alert for news.

Thanks I know a few people who are wanting to flash their S11HT

You could be come a hero to us english speakers living in Japan. I love my S11HT and have been happy with emobile's coverage my area except for the emobile black hole at Shoppers Plaza in Yokosuka. But I am occasionally frustrated with the Japanese interface.
tim

Can anyone please help ?

MODs could we move this thread to the Kaiser ROM developement section. Perhaps it would see a little more action in that area.
tim

sorry guys, i have been a bit busy ...
also i need a device (s11ht) to test the changes i made.
but just keep hoping
the last time i tried it, it didnt work but maybe is because i dont have a s11ht (i have a tytn2).
the radio of s11ht is different to the tytn2 one, (all commands .. all) because it needs to support the 1700 mhz band.
but at the moment, i got working some things (OS) on the tytn2.
just wait..
also, try to install a Diamond ROM into your s11ht and tellme what happens.
if nothing works, then we must wait for the xperia rom (because xperia supports the 1700 mhz band and should work with the s11ht Radio)
hehe
again sorry i was a bit busy (in the school.. hehe.. )

Sorry we were never able to get a copy of the original shipped ROM.
I can say on emobile the new radio is significantly better than the old one. I need to fix my sig.

Now we can make the Emonster english. I've tried this using both the L26_daimond and Hyperdragon III. The only thing I haven't been able to make work is display of Japanese Fonts. So if someones solves that life will be great. What you need to do:
First get hard SPL installed then
grap the 1.71 radio from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=410953 Thanks to AllTheWay for ripping the radio from the newest Emonster ROM
Get one of the new cooked ROMS I have tried L26_Diamond and HyberDragon III the Augest 4 version
after installing the ROM Install the radio rom from the above thread and you now have a working EMonster with everything in English.
Still need to solve the Japanese font problem or you won't be able to read emails from your Japanese or browse Japanese sites.

If you install Askal's "Let's Japan No.6", you can read Japanese in English rom. It includes Japanese font as well. After you install it, you need to change keyboard layout with registry editor.

You can choose any cooked rom in this forum. But WM6.1 should be much easier to install Japanese font.
3. Install Askal's "let's Japan No.6"
You can search it with Google.
