duttys dual touch rom v2

hi all what happens if the rom installation goes wrong??
i am going to use duttys dual touch rom v2.

if you follow the simple guides floating around in the forums you cant really go wrong. Remember once the rom has installed to do a hard reset to get duttys rom working at its best.

You could brick your phone.

If I remember correctly there was a thread which discussed devices that would not flash even though all of the instructions were followed. I think it had something to do with devices that had a certain date stamp on it.
Someone please correct me if I'm wrong. I did a quick search on the forum titles but didn't see anything that rang any bells.

Dont worry yourself over nothing
Just follow the very simple steps as mentioned above. Been flashing for a couple years now and as long as you install the hard spl and follow the steps I see very little that can go wrong. Plus you really dont need to start new threads for a question, just ask in the existing thread or do a bit of research but like I said I wouldn't worry about it.

Make sure you install Hard-SPL first, then just follow the guides in this forum and you should be fine.

go for it bro would be very nice but the closest is dutty,s rom which is winderfull

Which SPL
Hi, I have researched a fair bit on flashing roms, and I am very newbie so please be easy. I just got a ATT Tilt and realize you have to flash Hard-SPL then dutty's rom correct? But which Hard-SPL do I use. I see there are different versions, is there any difference and will tehy all work? Thanks guys.

Use this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679.
It is working well on my Tilt . Just read the instructions carefully and almost* nothing can go wrong. Then flash the ROM of your choice.
*never say never ;-)

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

New to windows mobile, would appreciate help.

Hi everyone, I have recently bought a htc touch pro from polish orange provider. I have browsed dozens of topic, trying to make my windows mobile 6.1 life more satisfying, but I have few questions to ask.
1. What does Hard-Spl do ? And can I hard-spl my phone ?
2. To install advanced config, do I have to jailbreak my windows, or do anything to install it ? I don't want to end up with useless phone
3. When I try to upgrade my default opera browser to the newest build, the instlaler cannot uninstall previous version of opera, neither can I because it is not listed in add/remove programs menu. And, if I ignore the warning, I get an error in installling the newest build, but somehow I have 2 opera mobiles listed in programs menu.
Thanks in advance, r4ster.

I probably can't answer your questions like a pro, but I had a few experience that I can share with you.
1. I don't know what Hard-SPL do, but I guess it's like jailbreak for Windows Mobile device. If you want to flash to a new custom Rom, you need to Hard-SPL it first (don't need to do this if you flash back to the original ROM). And yes, Hard-SPL your device
2. Jailbreak is only a term to unlock your iphone... With a Win Device, you don't need to unlock anything to be able to download and install other software. This is the beautiful part of a Window mobile.
3. Definitively can't help you here... but I know that plenty of thread has been posted for this matter... just do a quick search. However, I strongly suggest (with no responsibility) you to "Hard-SPL" and "CID unlock" your device and flash it to a new ROM. It will make your phone faster and much cleaner. Also, you'll get your new Opera install.
The question now is, which ROM
I suggest NATF's v2.3, but he'll be releasing a v3 today or so. Don't flash to it right away... just flash to v2.3 first and see if v3 is stable or not by reading people posts.
Flashing is not as hard as people claim... just read and be very carefully before you do it. Don't skip any step. The first time is stressful, but after that it's just a daily burger.

So, I can flash any rom I want, and still have a fully working phone, after hard spl ?

you have to hard-spl first before Flashing any Rom. Please read those sticky carefully. I do not take any responsibility of what you're doing.
This is what I did (it works for me without any problem)
0- I backup everything I need with PPCPimbackup and outlook
1- I HARD-SPL my device
2- I CID unlock my device
3- Flash to NATF's v2.3 ROM, hard-reset my device
4- Flash new Radio (this step is optional... and to find the best one, you have to test one by one.)
5- Restore my backup
6- Re-install extra software that I need.
Like I mention earlier, these steps work for me, and there are big chance that it will work for you as well... but I do not take any responsibility. Before you Flash to any ROM, HARD-SPL your device. and after flashing your ROM, HARD-RESET it.

Ok, what if the hard spl goes wrong, is there a way to unbrick the phone ?
And thanks for all the help !

Well, first I hope that it doesn't go wrong. And second, I'm pretty sure you can stand the temptation of flashing to a new ROM, so you'll probably going to do it very soon. But Third, So far I haven't seen any thread that someone can unbrick their Touch Pro after a bad flash (he/she didn't Hard-spl before flashing, that's why)... However, there is a way to do it with the Kaiser... so don't lose hope there.
Just READ everything carefully, you have a 99.5% successful rate if you do. I would say that the 0.5% is just your bad luck (example Computer stop working during the flash... but that's just pure bad luck and you can't blame anyone but God)

Need Help with Energy ROM

It seems I'm the only one to have this problem. I am trying to flash the latest Energy ROM build 23504 found in my sig..
Heres the problem:
I go thru the normal steps when I flash:
1) hard reset
2) flash to stock
3) hard reset
4) flash to energy
5) here comes the problem....
After I flash to Energy ROM build 23504. My device resets itself, like normal. RUU says update has been completed successfully. Now as my device boots back up it gets stuck on the verizon screen with the ROM info on it. It will not go past this screen no matter how long I wait.
Here is what I've tried:
1) flash from desktop (xp)
2) flash from laptop (xp)
3) flash from storage card
I have tried redownloading the files multiple times. using diferent browsers.
I only have problem with 23504, I can load NRG's other release 21864 with out problem you can see the latest releases here: http://hotfile.com/list/93326/3d17c67 if you look at the list I've tried all of the 23504 builds. No one over at PPCGeeks Knows of a solution.

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.
