Your stock ROM will stay untouched if you flashed HardSPL, it only affects your ability to flash radios and cooked ROMS
Your ROM experience will vary based on whatever ROM you choose, you can make your own ROM based on what you want by using a kitchen. I would say to go for Da_G's 6.5 ROM, or At0mAngs 6.5 ROM.
You can use any radio with any ROM, and you will be able to make calls, you just might not have the best coverage. Try out every radio to see which is the best for you.
you flash a radio in the exact same way that you flash a ROM, it doesnt erase any of your data though, just changes the radio. Nothing will happen if you dont flash a radio and a ROM, they are two separate things.

ok thx! i tried the rom from my first post with that radio because on the rom page he said that i NEED this rom or sometin...
Only 1 problem... if i type a txt message the 1 on the hardware keyboard directs me to the start menu?! while i'm typing! the rest from 1 to 0 are all different but i cant use them to type nuimbers?

Do you have a fuze or a touch pro?
They have two different keyboard layouts, and you might need to adjust some settings to fix it.

i have a eur touch pro

Dont worry

RULE NUMBER 1:No matter what anybody says, try the radio out first because different radios have different results across the world.
As for the radios: hard-spl your phone before you add any rom then flash your radio. Some ROM's don't include radios :-(.

Just to clarify this statement a little. !!!!!ONLY FLASH RAPH RADIOS!!!!! if you flash a diamond radio and you have not unlocked your phone (meaning you PAID to unlock your phone - might want to wait till you are a little more experienced for this) you will BRICK your phone!!!!!!

so can i get a fix?

What do you mean by fix?

i dont know i ijust want to fix my keypad problem... oh i found out that the CAPS key has become the Fn and the Fn key has become the windows key...

so is there a way?

???????????????????????

ProFuze KB. look it up

thx i'll try that

THANK YOU~~!!!!!! it finally worked!!!! thank you i can use the number keys again!!! thx!!!

Couple Newbies Questions..... (Sorry...)

I just start to explore my ATT Tilt....
1) I did flash kaiser-HardSPLv1
2) I did flash Dutty's TouchFlo Final Rom
3) I'm so happy that I did two above points and everything works perfect (except this - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369366 but anyway....)
Now I have got couple ( maybe stupid for pro people but not for me) questions :
1) I want to do SimUnlock do I have to do something else except this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361039 ???
2) If I want to flash Dutty's Official WM6.1 Rom do I have to flash kaiser-HardSPLv1 again ???
3) After I will flash Dutty's Official WM6.1 I know I will need to flash one of this Radios : 1.64.06.04 or 1.64.08.21 which one is better ??
4) Betwen Rom Flash and Radio Flash do I have to install something else ??
5) If for example I dont like this new Rom and I want to back to Rom which I have before what to do first ?? flash old Radio or old Rom ?? ( I don`t want to crash my phone);
6) After flash any Rom or any Radio to my phone do I have to do Hard Reset ??
7) Why ActiveSync is on my Taskbar after almost every Key Unlock and how to shut it off ??
8) Why some aplications run on by itself and the only way to shut it off is type "Close all" option from Taskbar ??
since i am in a good mood, i will try and answer ur questions
1) you can call at&t and have them give you the unlock code. That's what i did, even though the unlocker was already available. there's a thread dealing with this somewhere, with a phone number u should call.
2) no, u only need to do hardspl once
3) cant answer that, i'm still stuck with wm6
4) nope, just do one after the other. you can even have both done at once, but that's a whole different story for another day
5) both, old radio and rom, those radios are only compatible with wm6.1
6) nope
7) i dont know......did you set your sync schedule to "as items arrive"? maybe someone else can answer this.
8) that's cause we h4x0r3d ur phone......all your base are belong to us. but seriously though, u have to provide more info, i dont think we have any qualified psychic here on the forum.
wait a minute.......that was more than a couple!!
Thank you so much for your answer. I know it wasn't couple but several (??) - I explore my english also Never write on english forum before....

Flashing question

So I used hardspl v1 and then flashed dutty's wm6.1 hybrid v2 rom to my tytn. Everything went well and it is working fine but I wanted to try out some other roms. Do I need to do anything in particular before trying other roms. I've been doing research and can't find any information on what to do now. Do I need to hardspl again before I flash another rom? Thanks for the help, I realize that its a noob question.

No. You do not need any additional process before you flashing to another ROM.
Hard-SPL is just a safety procedure that ensure your Tytn II not to be a brick when you flashing ROMs. Since you've got a Hard-SPL, there's no need to flash another one unless the old Hard-SPL has some bugs.

Awesome. One more noob question. If I want to flash a rom that has a radio included that is a lower version than the one I have currently what do I need to do? Remove the radio from the rom or will it flash without issue?
If the ROM includes a radio, it will overwrite whatever you currently have. So no need to do anything else.

you just flash the new rom with the radio... if u dont like the radio you can always flash the radio you want later on.

unlocking a orange uk 6.0 rom (searched)

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

Run touch pro2 with my touch pro

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,

question

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.
Moved as not ROM Development.
