First I should warn that PPCGeeks.com nor me will not be held responsible if something were to go wrong. That being said its like any other update.....all you have to do is download the files from a link listed below. Extract them to the desktop open the the folder. Read the readme and run the .exe, same as the offical ones, BUT your PPC HAS TO BE IN BOOTLOADER MODE BEFORE running the .exe. (Hold power button, notes key, and soft reset) This ROM doesnt have to many "seen" differences, most changes have be made behind the scenes. I didnt remove the built-in voice dialer, because Im sure most dont use MSVC. Big thanks to isamu49 for his script to replace the bootscreen and providing me with all the carrier logos! Major thanks to XDA-Developers, and Buzzdev.net for the knowlege and tools used in the creation of this custom AKU 2.2! PLEASE HARD RESET AFTER YOU UPGRADE. I will be adding my extROM and full packages later today, just wanted to roll out the base OS for everyone.
Enjoy your new Custom AKU2.2!
Mike
Note: Upgrade CANNOT be done on a PC running Windows Vista, must be a XP machine.

(2) Guide for Dumping your device's ROM
(3) Invisible ROM dumper

(5) Dumping your SPL or Alternative Way
(6) Dumping your MainSplash
7. CID Unlock your phone (So that your phone will accept other ROMs with different CIDs & you'll be able to flash custom Roms or Roms from other carrier. You could do that in another way described in 10. Flashing Roms)
First, know the differences between a USPL, Hard SPL, temporary SPL, etc. (click here)
(1) Elf&Elfin HardSPLs (Free CID Unlocking)(Recommended!)
(2) Elf USPLs (Free CID Unlocking)
pof's patched 1.11.0000SPL
htctouchp's patched 1.17.0000SPL , patched 1.19.0000SPL <= Use these if your original SPL is 1.1X.0000(or your IPL is 1.1X.0002)!
(3) Elfin USPLs (Free CID Unlocking)
djvw's patched 2.20.0000SPL
htctouchp's patched 2.26.0000SPL , patched 2.28.0000SPL , patched 3.07.0000 , patched 3.10.0000 , patched 3.14.0000 <= Use these if your original SPL is 2.2X.0000(or your IPL is 2.2X.0002) - There are some reports that upgrading the latest manufactured Elf from 1.1X IPL&SPL to 2.2X IPL&SPL was successful, but take your own risk!
(4) Commercial CID Unlocker for both Elf&Elfin
8. After CID Unlocking, better check if it really worked
A safe way to find out if your CID unlocking worked is following this method & check the line:
Code:
g_cKeyCardSecurityLevel = ?
;If ?=0 => Touch=CID_Unlocked => Able to flash any ROM or Radio Update through Bootloader
;If ?=FF => Touch=CID_Locked => Try CID_Unlocking again BEFORE flashing anything
9. SIM Unlock your phone (So that you can use any carrier's SIM)
(1) Free Touch_Unlock (Members report that it's working only for Elf)
(2) HTC TOUCH SIM UNLOCKER FREE
(3) Commercial SIM Unlocker1
(4) Commercial SIM Unlocker2
(5) Commercial SIM Unlocker3
(6) dsixda's free unlocker
10. Available Roms,Radios,IPLs&SPLs
(1) Original Shipped Roms
---(1.1) Elfin's Original Shipped Roms, listed by CID & DID
---(1.2) Elf's Original Shipped Roms, listed by CID & DID
(If one Rom matches your CID & DID, you could always flash it successfully through bootloader. Always means even without CID Unlocking)
But have in mind that Original Shipped ROMs include IPL&SPL that will ovewrite yours and your device will be CID Locked after flashing these!
(2) Elf&Elfin's Dumped Roms, listed by CID & DID
(Consider these Roms as cooked ones, meaning that they can be flashed to your device ONLY IF it is CID Unlocked
or
[alternative1] you use SoftSPL
or
[alternative2] you use JumpSPL)
(3) Elf&Elfin's Custom Roms plus Alternative thread for old ROMs
(They can be flashed to your device ONLY IF it is CID Unlocked
or
[alternative1] you use SoftSPL
or
[alternative2] you use JumpSPL)
(4) Elf&Elfin Radio Updates - Alternative
(They can be flashed to your device ONLY IF it is CID Unlocked
or
[alternative1] you use SoftSPL
or
[alternative2] you use JumpSPL)
(5) Elf&Elfin IPLs&SPLs
(Be careful with these ROM parts)
...
...The fun part!...
11. Flashing Roms("Loading" the RUU_Signed.nbh on your device)
(1) If you have a CID unlocked device (Elf&Elfin) then
either enter bootloader & run the RomUpdateUtility(aka RUU)
or connect your normally booted device (NOT in bootloader mode but in Windows) to the PC ,wait to sync and run the RomUpdateUtility(aka RUU)
Remember to place your RUU_Signed.nbh file in the same folder where RomUpdateUtility.exe is!
(2) If you have a CID locked device & you don't want to mess with the SPL but still want to try another Rom you could:
---(2.1) Use SoftSPL for both Elf&Elfin
---(2.2) Use JumpSPL for both Elf&Elfin
But have in mind that if something goes wrong(Bad Flash or Bad Rom) you'll end up facing any possible problem with a device that is CID Locked!
(3) Open Source ROM Update Utility (RUU)

6.If CID Unlocking worked, you will be able to change the ROM, the Radio & the SpashScreen of your phone using the RomUpdateUtility(RUU)
and start having fun!
*.I'm sure all of you want the best for your device - after all that's why we all come here. But what is best for me is not always best for you too, meaning that it's a matter of personal taste. So please don't start asking which ROM is the best or fastest , etc.
If you have followed the above steps (0-5) then you have the opportunity to try out many different ROMs that are released here and see which one fits your needs. And there is always the option (if you didn't come here just to take and leave) to learn how to create your own ROM and build it according to your taste!

********************************
This is the new TyTN II WWE WM6.5 CE OS 5.2.28205 Build 28205.5.3.3 D3D M2D YouTube UC Mobile Vista 6.50 SeaDragon ROM.
The CE image is based on an almost Official WM6.5 CE OS 5.2.28205 ( Build 28205.5.3.3 ) and the new kernel is 6.5_nk.exe.
Version 6.50 includes all required packages in the ROM as M2D and M2DLS (Xda - team manila improved by me),
GoogleMaps, HTCEnchancements, HTCOpera, YouTube, Audio Manager 2, Audio Booster (Equalizer for headphones) and others.
No additional applications are installed with SDConfig.txt by SDAutorun but you can add as you wish with your own SDConfig.txt.
D3D drivers have been checked in the new OS 5.2.28205.
Almost all applications have been redesigned in the SeaDragon colors for this Mobile Vista edition.

5. Note : KaiserCustomRUU.exe is not included in the above zip files, download it here:
Rapidshare: http://rapidshare.com/files/138333883/KaiserCustomRUU.exe
C. Instructions to successfully flash the rom CE image
Here bellows are the Instructions to successfully flash it.
Unzip the downloaded file:
A. RUU_Kaiser_WWE_WM6.5.28205.MobileVista6.50SeaDragon_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_by_ansar.zip
in case you downloaded the radio inclusive one or
B. RUU_Kaiser_WWE_WM6.5.28205.MobileVista6.50SeaDragon_by_ansar.zip
if you downloaded the nbh without the radio.
and in the created directory you will have the following:
1. This readme.txt file
2. The control text files SDConfig.txt that includes only the Reset instruction and
3. The nbh image RUU_Signed.nbh file that is with or without radio depending on the downloaded zip file.
Before flashing make a backup of your files in Storage Card using the Data Backup Program or PIM Backup from my previous ROMs or your favorite backup.
After PIMBackup installation perform your data backup in your Storage card.
Place the SDConfig.txt file in the Storage Card and flash the RUU_Signed.nbh image file as follows:
a. Power on TyTN II, if not already.
b. Connect TyTN II to your desktop PC or laptop and perform all steps up to establish an Active sync connection.
Note: in Windows Vista you must have the latest version of Windows Mobile Device Center.
c. Copy the RUU_Signed.nbh in the same directory with KaiserCustomRUU.exe, run KaiserCustomRUU.exe and follow the instructions.
d. After the successful flashing of the ROM, KaiserCustomRUU.exe will make a Hard Reset.
e. You may unplug the USB wire as the new ROM loading process will start.
The ROM flashing process will perform as follows:
a. Loads all splash screens, performs the welcome screen and displays the initial Today screen.
b. Then loads Mobile_Vista theme and installs the cabs that reside in the ROM.
Then it continues by performing the User Customization process as:
c. Loads all files from your Storage card directory as described in SDConfig.txt, if any.
d. Loads the *.xml files of SDConfig.txt, if any, and performs the instructions included in these files.
e. The process will finish after machine's final Reset and final boot.
NB : From time to time check with Task Manager and remove unwanted running apps in order to free up precious ram.
Note 1: The new keyboard layout has options for small and big letters.
It is predefined to initial setup of big letters. In this case the Caps are also displayed with double click on shift key.
Note 2: There is a five item menu activated with a tap on top bar.
Note 3: The long power on key press is assigned to Quick List menu.
Note 4: Regedit (the one part of task manager) and Total Commander are assigned in the known inside hard keys.
These are shown if the default Windows today item is not ticked.
Note 5: As you already noticed all screens (initial splash, windows welcome and AutoRun) are redesigned as well as
the Mobile_Vista.tsk theme, the Comm. Manager, the Phone, the Long Key press, the Audio Manager and the Streaming Media player.
Note 6: The three in one Today Plug-in, WiFi - Phone - Bluetooth, is revealed from tob bar menu tap on phone item and then on COM manager.
Note 7: Internet explorer has two new home screens as well as zoom facility.
The initial screen has on line help, IE Home, HTC Home and Xda Developers.
If you tap on IE Home the typical i.e. home screen is activated.
Note 8: The well known SRS WOW HD driver is in the ROM as package for enhanced HD sound.
Note 9: In old style today the bottom screen plug-in has six small buttons where from left to right you can have:
- The green for on off the phone
- The GPS ephemeris activation
- The memory
- The Bluetooth
- The Icon only for battery charge view. For the settings there is the top bar battery button.
- The screen rotation button.
Note10: Tom Tom 6 navigator is included in as is base of the original package that comes with your device without any map included.
Note11: From Start you can test D3DMdemo that can achieve more than 51 fps.
In order to stop D3DDemo tap on small blue area just bellow top bar and then on the revealed x button.
Finally due to Touchflo as a package inside the ROM, the HTC Home is disabled, but you can use all other Today Items if Touchflo is disabled.
There many other apps in ROM and Total User Customization in order your valuable TyTN II to outperform!
Till next version enjoy!!!
Regards, ansar

Hi,
First screen shoots will be provided today but final image not sure.
Are you let me proceed with wp7?
Regards, ansar.
Slow
my 1st impression is this ROM is slow.
slow booting, slow customization, slow response to screen clicks.
I revert back to Original ROM after 5 min. of testing.
Does anyone face this? or I'm the only one here!

RSPL allows to install HSPL to device (if you not install HSPL, after reboot device RSPL is deleted from memory)
original SPL dont allow loading custom ROM's... this is benefit... in theory, you can load any ROM (WM, Android, WP7) if available... for now only WP7 custom ROM's is available

Yes, I also can't install this rom, always stops at 1% and restart my phone. Ansar could probably fix it. I am assuming the problem is on the radio 5.65.09.25a_22.42.50.21U, spl version does not match because it always appears message Error [244]: INVALID MODEL ID, but I also could not confirm it, I hope Ansar know more about this issue.
I've been experimenting with installing ROM RUU_Gold_HTC_Europe_1.22.401.01_Radio_5.63.09.13_3a_22.36.50.15U_by_ansar, then I try to install just file spl_signed.nbh from ROM RUU_Gold_HTC_Europe_1.24.401.01_Radio_5.64.09.20_22.42.50.15_Signed_GOLD_RELEASE, and the results radio version is 5.64. 09.13_3a_22.36.50.15U. It works perfectly in my device.
I am still waiting for the new radio version.
Note: based on my experiment: if your device installed hspl with just installing file 'spl_signed.nbh' from stock/branded rom, your spl will be back to stock spl.
(sorry for my bad english)

My Bootloader now is 1.24.2250.0, OS Version: 7713.WM7_Main(DFT)...
Yes, you can do that. I've tried it.
But remember if your bootloader is HSPL after installation your bootloader will be back to SPL and your phone will be resetting your data and application.
I did it, when I start from beginning of installation (from OS 7004) or after install Custom ROM from DFT.
Thank you for your work.
How is it looking about DFrouter?
Would appreciate such a ROM
Hi.
1st. Sorry for my english.
2nd. Maby its not exactly place for my question but...

thx.
HTC 7 pro T7576
OS: 7.0.7392.0

You tried do everything the same in this thread ? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=16189677&postcount=2
Read #2 post, Zune must be off and device must be unplugged from PC. You must run DFT_RSPL_WP7FG1_LAUNCH and klik next. At this moment you can plug your device to PC by USB but, phone must be in bootloader mode (off device and on with hold volume down button - you see three colored screen). Now you can instal RSPL and next HSPL.
Thx Budniu. (dziękuję)
