Hi @ll..
i read many many pages about Upgrading, Dumping and cooking ROMs.
But there are still many questions...
I only want to do a complete Image of my Kaiser, so that i can get it back everytime to how i´ve bought it.
For example when i willl flash it with another rom, i want completely bring it back to "normal"
Is there a way to do this?
Can i do something, to make a flashable file (like the updates of HTC) only from a dump of the rom?
Why i need the RUU_sighnd.nbf (?) also?
What can i do with ONLY the Part01.raw?
What happens, if i use the pdowrite.exe to write the .raw back?
or this the most interessting question for me:
Can i create ONLY with some tools and ONLY my Kaiser something like a Shiped ROM? without any other ROMs-files???
Please help me..
bring light into my dark head
thanxx 2 @ll
After reading, reading and reading I still am very confused.
Just a question and maybe I did not read that particular thread, sorry in advance, but if I understand correctly:
1. I extract my ROM
2. Change a certain cab from dutch to english
3. Rebuild my ROM
4. I can than load that ROM without the CID unlock HDSPL thingy
Correct?
Yes? Okay I start building.
No? Any other change to get an english non edited/tweaked Rom on my TyTn II?
The more I write the more I start knowing the answer. I think.
One thing I know for sure is that you do need the "CID Unlook HDSPL thingy". Without that you cannot flash a ROM so if you're going to do any flashing make sure you HardSPL your device otherwise you can render you device inoperable.
As for a ROM you can dump your ROM to have a backup so if you need to restore it later for warranty purposes you can rebuild from that. Or you can use the dumped ROM to create your custom ROM.
Check out this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=349354.
It's a very easy way to create a custom ROM.
Good luck.
Well, what are you trying to do? "non-edited" and "Tweaked" will not go in the same sentence... Also I see "change a certain cab from Dutch to English" and I get totally confused like you are... What are you really trying to do? Do you want to flash a tweaked English "cooked ROM" onto your device? That's easy - there are a couple of ROMs you can try out: Dutty's, Q-Mobile, Schaps, Gullum... or do you want to learn how to cook your own ROM? _Alex_ has put together an awesome cooking tutorial and Kitchen tools for you to use so I suggest you read those again! In either case you'll need to first unlock your device using the great pof's HardSPL/CID unlock utility...else you'll have a very expensive brick on your hands! But again, my question: what are you really trying to do?
I just want my Dutch version turned into an English version. That's all. Nothing more nothing less. No additional changes to my ROM. Just another language. Easy isn't it.
hi,
i have an HTC touch (the 128/256 would be Elfin right?) to which i want to flash another ROM.
well i'm a total noob at this so i don't really understand where or how to start and what to do;
1-is the process reversible?in other words can i downgrade to my original ROM (downloaded it from HTC website)?
2-is it necessary that i upgrade/change the IPL,SPL,USPL,...etc?
3-when doing a CID unlocking,is it safe?or what's the worst case scenario?
4-does the ROM contain a radio by default or should i install it seperately?and is it necessary to upgrade/change it?
sorry for asking too many questions,but i wanna know how to do it right
thanks

1.) Yes, once you Hard Spl your phone you can flash any rom, custom or OEM
2.) Yes, you must change from a stock spl/uspl to a custom one.
3.) Yes, For the most part it is safe, but like driving your car, accidents happen and the worst case is you brick your phone.
4.) some roms contain radios and some roms do not, you can always flash your favorite radio after the rom flash.
Don't worry this is the right section to ask questions. Read this thread and other threads in the upgrade section. Re read until it makes sense and then go for it.

thanks a lot denco,your help is really appreciated .
i did some digging myself about this,and i ran through this topic:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637
and now things are starting to become more clear,but now i have another questions:
1-if i dump my IPL/SPL,can i restore them again over the stock ones (in case i wanna sell my phone or something like that)?
2-it seems a bit dumb ,but i thought CID unlocking and USPL changing are 2 completely different things,but now i see that they are two different descriptions for the same thing,am i right?
thanks

Yes you can restore everything to stock for warranty return, providing it is not your usb connector that is th problem.
They used to be two different things, but now with the new Uspls/Spls it is the same thing
so from what i understood,all i have to do is upgrade my USPL and dump my stock IPL/SPL for restoring purposes (or can i do that without having to dump them?) and i'm ready to flash...right?
Hi all, i am new with wm phone. I am using my htc touch pro now and after i see the new touch pro2 i want to know can i install touch pro2 to run on my touch pro??? Is it called touchFLO 3D? or manila??? i want the new calender, contacts and the new sms in the new touch pro2
FLASH A NEW ROM TO YOUR PHONE...not yelling caps were on
It's probably not a good idea to create the same exact thread in multiple forums.
Go read what I posted in your other thread that you made.
thanks for the info, and sorry for multi post in the wrong forum will try to close that. And can i ask something? i've been reading the [Resources] Flashing your First GSM Raphael Rom (For Noobs) from the start, up to page 35 for now (i need to finish another 80 pages or so to complete reading it up) but i don't seem to find any question related to what i want to find out so i might just ask it here;
As i am new to flashing rom, i know if i want to flash some nice rom to my touch pro (i'm using the singtel WWE stock rom)
1) i need to hardspl it so i can flash any other rom into my phone, flash the new rom that i desire etc.. and the important question is.. if i want to completely reverse my phone back to the original stock condition, stock hardspl / stock rom etc (like from the 1st day i got it, very very stock and original). I know i need to flash back the stock hardspl and stock rom and so on... So after all the flashing will my touch pro be like a really original stock touch pro??? Or will it be i am only flashing another rom but it is an original stock rom back to my device... Anyone understand what i mean???
2) Actually i need to ask about the radio thingy but i think i'd better wait for my 1) answer, cuz if i can't get my phone back to the original stock condition after i flash some wm6.5 rom in it i might not want to risk flashing...
Any advice are appreciated, thanks
hardpsl is a one time thing, once you flash it, you dont need to keep using hardspl to try new roms. when you want to revert to the original rom, just go to HTC singapore's site, under support, go download the rom. it will be the singtel wwe rom. if you're worried about warranty, there shouldnt be an issue, i reflashed the singtel rom to my phone before sending it to harborfront for repair, and there was no mention of me reflashing the rom, and they repaired my phone as required.
ps, you dont really need to read all 80 pages of the thread, just get to flashing. hardspl, then try the energy rom (thats what im using) and see how easy it is.
cheers,

thanks buddy, glad to see i'm not the only one trying to flash my touch pro rom in here just to check u didn't flash your hardpsl from olinex 1.90 back to the stock 1.90 hardpsl??? u just reflash the singtel from to your set they didn't notice it??
Hi guys,
nice work from JockyW, ookba and everyone doing the job to bring us excellent software (pls if i forgot anyone, don't be mad ). I really appreciated the RUU_MAPL_3VOLUTION_WM65_3VO.2.50.112509 for a long time but I will sell my Maple now. It time to move on and try something new. Thats why I need to go back to the Official HTC ROM. I just cannot get it to work...
Obviously just flashing the original HTC Rom won't do the job because of the Hardspl, but how do i get around this. I just need some help on going back.
Thanks in advance, UKFencer
160 hits and nobody got an idea...? Or is the answer too simple?
If i am missing something pls point me to it.
Thanks,
UKFencer
Sorry, I don't think I have any idea. I *think just flashing the original ROM should work, I have upgrade/downgraded other phones with factory/custom roms with no problem. I have a question on top of yours. If I don't Hard SPL, what do I lose? There's a thread about downgrading the HardSpl to 1.19 or 18, I don't know if that helps. I would like an answer to my AT&T question as well. Sorry about hijacking your topic but I at least bumped it.
Download original rom in HTC website. Thats all.
Or you could use goldcard model to flash back to original WWE ROM

Sorry, for not replying any earlier, but was finishing my finally year project...took longer than i thought...anyway now i back to re-install the original firmware...
@Sonnguyen

@alinkwok
yeah, i've read about it...without a seccond mobile, i'll have to buy the software if i recall correctly.
So, any other tips where to look for howtos...?

Have you ever imagined looking into Wiki
If I were your Maple buyer I would apreciate more to have it upgraded to a cooked ROM, rather to have ugly stock.
You can go back and install any ROM you want

Yes, I agree with your sentiments regarding the ROM, point is however that once the custom ROM is flashed with the Hardspl, the original ROM cannot be flashed back, which is sometimes required, especially if something happens to the phone and it has to be returned for repairs etc to the retailers.
Strange, it´s the 1st time I know that an HTC device can´t go back to original ROM...
I´ll do some research...
The original SPL is included in the package you downloaded from here..... Just have to use it, flash original rom, and you are on your way....
How exactly do I flash the original spl nbh file? I tried replacing the hard spl nbh with the original and running RUU but the spl remained the same.
you need to get the one from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=558003
there is a folder marked original spl in there. it is the same process you did when you put the hard spl on there, just using the original nbh
