Anyone with Helmi Cooked Rom able to connect their Blackberry Connect?

I am using the Helmi Cooked Rom and I installed the BBConnect onto my Tilt and the PC desktop software and I can't seem to generate a Pin on my Tilt because it cannot get connected. Any one able to help? (I have the BB plan)

yep
Yes am running the helmi rom myself and all is working well. Check which version of the BB client you have installed, perhaps that is a possible reason.
But works well with the vario III model and said rom installed...

I'm using the newest version 41.0.0.84 posted on HTC site. What version is yours? Did you flash a Hard SPL? or a SSPL? before flashing to the Helmi Cooked Rom?

Change the AKU version from 0.7.0 to 0.4.2 under HKLM>System>Version>AKU
and it should be fine.

I changed the AKU version and still it shows Data Tunnel Available for half a second and says Disconnected. Anyone know a step by step fix for this?

The method described above (chaging AKU version) does actually work!
This is what I did:
1. Installed the latest clean cooked rom (CE OS 5.2.1978)
2. Installed Resco Explorer for the registry editor
3. Changed the AKU version from 0.7.0 to 0.4.2 under HKLM>System>Version>AKU (The key difference here is that this change was made before installing BB Connect)
4. Installed BBC v4.0.0.84
5. To configure BBC I used the BlackBerry Connect Desktop for Windows Mobile app which communicated with my work servers and then configured the device for me.
Hope that helps others in the same situation as me.

Followed these instructions after a hard reset and still no luck. I have the same problem as the others, after step 5 it would connect for a second or so, and then disconnect. So it was back to the HTC Rom.

Sometimes the rom needs to be Hex edited to show that its AKU 4.2 I am sure if you ask Hemli he might do this for you in a future release. I am sorry to say but this is one of those issues that some have beening that the roms we have on this forum have not been made for public release since the 3rd party software has not been properly set up to run with it.

tytn II

I can confirm that these instructions do work with Duttys hybrid no.3 ROM. The only difference is that I installed BBC V4.0.91 version mentioned in this thread.

By the way thank you KarmaNP it did work. I went back to check on what I entered and had too many periods (.)'s when changing the AKU. Make sure that 0.4.2 shows and not .0.4.2 which was my mistake.

RhodiumW Hard-SPL Release

preface for the people not reading ... some quick answers:
- our page on this Hard-SPL is always here: http://rhodiumw.htc-unlocks.com/hard-spl.php
- license: you will just have to run the program on the PC with phone connected, normally you will not notice anything about the licensing, it is totally free for personal use!
- if you need help with license issues (when it says you already unlocked a device), you can send your message at: http://support.htc-unlocks.com
[SIZE=+2]Hard-SPL Release Time!!!! [/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]NOTE: This is NOT a SIM unlocker - it also doesn't unlock Security for other radios. if you need that, GO HERE[/SIZE]
[SIZE=+2]NOW UPDATED -> if you already installed HardSPL, you will not need this update. but if you are going to HardSPL only now, it applies to you (package will lead you to update link anyway).[/SIZE]
Preface: okay, it was released only this weekend! but trust me the wait was worth it as it works really great and smooth now!
Licensing information: it's like with previous Hard-SPL unlockers - every user gets one free use of the Hard-SPL, further use is subject to paying a small amount per device.
however, if you are a private user, you can have other uses free on request if needed, such as using it on a replacement device.
the license is valid forever and all this works as transparently as possible, so for normal users nothing is noticable; while businesses who need to unlock more devices than that, can use the link inside the program to send payment or contact cmonex or Olipro if you want to discuss bulk unlocking.
contact info is: via support link at our site
IMPORTANT: please do not use this contact info for asking help for problems unrelated to licensing unless you are a paying customer. other messages will not be answered - instead you can use this thread to post about your issues!!!
Preparations:
0) this package is for Rhodium CDMA-GSM worldphone version only (CDMA Touch Pro 2, not the original Touch Pro) devices. only RHOD400, RHOD500 modelids are accepted. this Hard-SPL supports WM6.5.
1) if you have Vista / Windows 7, WMDC update to 6.1 (or whatever is latest) is recommended.
Instructions: read this if unsure how to install Hard-SPL... if you are an experienced user then you'll probably not need to read most of this but if you are unsure or run into an issue, then you should read the following!
Steps:
1) download newest RhodiumW Hard-SPL package and extract this to an empty folder.
2) you must Have Phone Synced with PC in Windows Mobile!!! the device needs to be connected to Activesync or WMDC via USB cable. and it must not be in Flight/Airplane mode (i.e. the phone part should be on).
3) internet access is required as the program checks online for updates and for the license.
4) run Rhodium-HardSPL.exe on your PC, make sure it's launched from a local drive (not through network drive, etc.). running it on XP requires Admin logon, and Vista/Windows 7 will automatically prompt to allow it to run in Admin mode, so allow it please.
important: if you get an antivirus warning, please ignore it, it contains no harmful code (just used a packer to compress it). if you encounter DEP errors, then add it to the exception list in DEP settings.
5) follow steps as prompted in the Hard-SPL program. if this is the first run of Hard-SPL on a device after hard reset, you must select Automatic flash mode (the first button in Welcome screen).
notes: you should usually go for Automatic flash mode; the Manual flash option is only to be used as noted below - any other errors triggered while running in Autoflash mode will have to be fixed as instructed in the error message.
6) it will ask you to wait while it prepares for the flashing, press OK.
7) now it should go through without any error messages, if one does pop up, then please follow the instructions included in the error text. if no specific instruction is shown, then ask for help in the forums, but this should not ever occur (as this means a really fatal error occurred).
at this point the device did hopefully went to a black screen. this is the SSPL version, which is temporary. then RUU (Rom Update Utility) will instantly launch.
9) some notes: when RUU says it will perform a hard reset and cause data loss, do not worry, it is not going to do this. also when it says the flash will take 10 minutes, ignore that, it will only take a minute or so.
10) SPL flashes, device automatically reboots, job done.
11) to confirm you got it installed, go into bootloader mode (tricolour screen!) and verify the screen shows 1.00.OliNex, which is the current Hard-SPL version.
More Notes:
NOTE 1: you will not see the SPL version during normal boot, that is the OS version, not SPL!
to enter SPL to check version, you need the following key combination: Power Button + Volume Down + Reset Button. means, do a soft reset while holding the "volume down" key and power key on the side of the device. hold these keys until you see a special tricolour screen which is the bootloader mode.
NOTE 2: this is unsigned Hard-SPL. no limitations on flashing ROMs (except of course some Radio roms). also, this has overwrite protection against HTC RUU's overwriting HSPL with a stock one, so if someone needs to revert to stock SPL for warranty reasons, a stock SPL downgrade package is posted on our site. use this relocker *only* if you need to return the phone for warranty, and only use it as last step - after reflashing stock OS and radio. see steps in the next post about how to reflash stock SPL.
NOTE 3: anyone having USB connection problems with the device after it already entered SSPL mode, please copy SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe from SSPL-Manual-RhodiumW.zip (available on our site), copy it to the device and run it. then once the screen has gone black, run the Hard-SPL package on the PC and you must select Manual flash option. *important*: make sure that the USB cable is plugged in and device is synced to Windows Mobile even if doing manual method.
NOTE 4: do not use this RUU for anything other than SPL flashing (i.e. hardspl or stock spl restore)!!! nothing other than SPL's made by Olinex team will flash to make SSPL more secure. if you want to flash some other rom, then use shipped RUU or a customRUU if you need to flash cooked ROMs.
NOTE 5: supported OS versions: both 32-bit and 64-bit XP, Vista, Windows 7RC and later. Windows 2000 was untested, and pre-RC win7 (lower than build 7100) is explicitly not supported. also, the program may be unstable or not work on Virtual systems, so it's recommended to try outside Virtual OS software.
Troubleshooting: and Step by Step on reflashing stock SPL: are in next post below!
Credits:
first, "OliNex" is a team which means: cmonex + Olipro
Olipro -> concept of EXE program that runs on the PC, Hard-SPL concept, server-side license code and maintaining the licenses.
cmonex -> HSPL package on PC, SSPL loader for windows mobile and SSPL binary. Hard-SPL binary. (SSPL loader: partially based on haret and old pof&Olipro jumpspl code),
[SIZE=+3]Donations are always appreciated, the Hard-SPL program will provide you with a link at the end of the process to make it easier. any little helps!!! Thank you![/SIZE]
and now enjoy!

-continued from first post-
Manual SSPL download: (added soon)
Troubleshooting:
firstly:
- read the instructions above.
- read the instructions above.
- read the instructions above.
nothing happens on the device, does not enter black screen mode:
- anyone having problems with the device crashing instead of entering SSPL, make sure you've used Automatic flash mode before to put the device in SSPL (if you hard-reset your device, you have to repeat Automatic flash mode at least once).
- please make sure you watch the device screen if it asks about running files (it probably won't, I made sure of that, but just in case, check, for example it can warn about model incompatibility).
- also you can try unticking advanced usb/network functionality in settings on the device. exact location of this will probably be: start menu / settings / connections / usbtopc applet.
general usb connection error problems:
- if you get connection error in RUU after the device goes to black SSPL screen: make sure device was still synced via USB to the PC at the point of it entering SSPL (the black screen) and do not try replugging please, that will probably just crash SSPL.
- it will take a few seconds for the RUU to detect the device, but do not worry, as soon as the USB connection is established in SSPL, RUU will see device. if not (happens very rarely), wait for RUU to time out (or wait a few minutes). then remove back cover, reset, it will boot OS again, then you can retry unlocking process.
- anyone having problems with the device entering SSPL without functional USB port ("ERROR 260 CONNECTION" RUU error), you can get SSPL-Manual-Rhodium.exe from attachment in this post, copy it to the *device* itself and run it. then once the screen is showing black, run the Hard-SPL package on the PC and select Manual flash option. please do not use Manual flash option for any other purposes
- try a different USB port
- try different USB cable
- do not touch USB cable during the process especially if it is already a bit dodgy
- also do not use USB hub
- you can also try rebooting your PC
- and you can try using another PC.
- another reason for USB connection error: if your PC takes too long to load the drivers (if your device is in bootloader for the first time it needs to do that), then if RUU times out, but device is still in black screen, just leave it there and re-run the Hard-SPL package when driver installation finishes - you must use Manual Flash option in such a case. I recommend to wait for Windows to take its time searching for the USB drivers, then click Next in RUU only when they are installed.
- finally, you can try disabling antivirus or firewall programs on the PC.
ModelID checking: if SSPL loader says it's for a different model or device, please make sure you are using the correct HardSPL package. currently this SSPL accepts only RHOD400, RHOD500 modelids i.e. the CDMA-GSM worldphone version, but if we get notified of another compatible RhodiumW version, we will instantly modify it to allow those models. check modelid by entering SPL tricolour screen manually and note what it says (RHOD400, RHOD500, or something else). note: RHOD1xx, 2xx, 3xx are not going to be compatible at all!
other issues:
- if device reports that Enterbootloader.exe fails to run (says missing component or corrupt signature or similar), try a hard reset.
- if device reboots instead of going to SSPL screen (black), which is very unlikely to happen, then contact us by PM to cmonex. do not PM OliNex user, that is not monitored frequently (and PM's to it are disabled now anyway).
- if none of the above help, read thread for further suggestions, if still nothing, make a post in thread describing all details about the exact situation.
how to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL: - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. please make sure you already flashed stock ROM and radio, because stock SPL flash is *always* the last step before sending the device in.
1. download the Relocker by clicking here, extract the zip and run the EXE on your PC
2. if you wish to replace RUU_Signed.NBH that got extracted, feel free to do so, but not necessary (this Hard-SPL will only allow overwrite with a SPL made by us). the included one is the 0.63.0000 stock SPL. 3. flash
4. verify if it flashed by checking version in tricolour screen, it should say 0.63.0000, not 1.00.OliNex.

-new release coming soon, fixes a specific problem for a small group of people-
-more troubleshooting tips soon-

In a nutshell, this basically will allow you to flash custom made roms and other assorted customizations.

Hey, thank you.
Does using this and then not putting a custom rom on it right away do anything bad? Like waiting for a 6.5.1 rom or something. Sorry if this isn't the right place. Forgive me please.
Crashes on vista x64 sp2 home premium. as soon as I click to open the hard spl exe it crashes.

You can wait as long as you want to flash another rom, custom or carrier. So no worries in holding off.

Thanks so much for answering.
Here's something.
Crashes on vista x64 sp2 home premium. as soon as I click to open the hard spl exe it crashes.
I just tried. I don't get it.
My mcafee doesn't have a trust app add feature that i can see so i turned off real time scanning to extract the file and then run it. Then the hard spl crashes when i try to run it. I hit auto flash and immediately it crashes.

What specific error message(s) are you getting?

Nothing specific. It just crashes and the windows app crash pops up. That's all that I can remember. Should I try again and look for something specific?
Also I would like to say that I connected the phone to my pc via usb cable and that's it. On phone opened the disk mode or active sync selection but I didn't touch anything in time then it disappeared. The phone showed up as a hard drive in explorer. I didn't do anything else when trying to run the hard-spl exe. Should I have?
Thanks a million.

You need to make sure you're connected to your computer and sync up with ActiveSync. Once that's all connected properly, then you can run hspl.

but how do i do that? i noticed just now i reconnected phone and active sync was selected on the phone, but nothing comes up on windows vista except the auto run and it says synch with media player or open to view files or do nothing.

Oh, Vista. Right. You'll need to use Windows Mobile Device Center then. Install that, reboot, then sync up with that (it's ActiveSync's replacment for Vista and Windows 7). Then you should be able to run hspl fine.

That you very much Oli, and to all the people who worked so hard on this! I just put it on my Verizon Touch Pro 2 and it went like a snap, but what software from you doesn't A nice donation is coming yer way me matey!

thanks. that did it.
i got to the part where it said make sure the battery has 50% or more. i said cancel and now my phone is off and won't come on. I disconnected usb and tried to turn it on and nothing happens. reconnected phone and tried to do this again and it told me i need to active synch again. but i can't turn on phone right now. I don't know what to do now.

Have you tried taking out the battery of the phone, reinserting it and turning it back on?

trying now except i dont know how to open it. ok my bad. had to remove stylus. it's on now.
Ok sweet. It rebooted the phone. Success I suppose. Now to find a rom.... But then I dunno what to look for. hmm...
lol

Glad you got it figured out. Have fun finding a good rom that suits you.
edit: since we don't really have much of a CDMA TP2 selection just yet, I'd recommend checking here. He makes a great ROM. Just be sure not to discuss ROMs in this thread.

I posted this at PPCGeeks also, but here is a problem I am having while trying to unlock in Windows 7 x64 using WMDC.
1. Ran the .exe
2. Screen pops up "Preparing to flash, press ok to wait. I press ok.
3. The screen goes black (like it's supposed to), Active Sync DISCONNECTS, and a box pops up: "Welcome to the ROM update utility...". I check the box "I understand the caution..." and click next.
4. The next box pops up "Follow the instructions..." and I check the box "I completed the steps..."
5. A box pops up: "Verifying the information on your PDA phone...please wait..."
6. About 30 seconds go by, and an error box pops up: Error [260]: Connection...
7. The screen remains black and the phone non-functional. I have to soft-reset the device at this point.
When I soft-reset in #7 above, the computer dink-donks like when you disconnect the UBS cable, so there's still some sort of connection the PC is recognizing. I tried a second time after installing the enablerapinew.cab (using auto mode) and got the exact same errors.
Any thoughts?

[Q] Dell Aero

The company I work for has received some Dell Aero's for eval. We mostly have iPhones and WM devices deployed. I have been playing with the Aero. Interesting device. Has anyone been able to get side loading done on the Aero? Also there is not toggle 2G/3G option so I cant force it to 2G.
While the phone has it's issues I would like to get some other apps loaded on it.
Any ideas or help would be appreciated.
Thanks

ROM Or update
Hello guys
would somebody tell me a thing about this device (it may be a little thing indeed):
dell aero V01B from At&t. Cant find nothing about this device. It´s not even listed in dell web on line support. Neither at&t´s. Da***d!
I appreciate n reply.
Rgds

Finally I'm not alone to trying upgrade
let's roasted this phone to the oven
first I'm newer in here and Linux or Android environment
but I'll try to share what I found from googling activity
1. Root
----------
I've tried using SuperOneClick but stuck on process. Maybe not supported for Android 1.5
Read this article for root

NB : there is little problem after root the system, I can't open Market Android and Gtalk app, I was Master reset back to factory setting but can't fixed this problem till now, maybe there is chomod, mount, remount and sync command line when rooting process
or
someone said that : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=6718277&postcount=9
Items such as google apps were _not_ deliberately removed: they actually were never included. Those missing apps are not freely available and depend on agreements with Google to be added to any distro. That agreement never happened, possibly were never attempted.
2. Flashing
-----------
FYI, firmware flasing for Dell Aero is Marvell (CPU) but I don't know why there is Tavor mention when recognize session the Phone with PC (Firmware Flashing tools)
Before instalation the phone should in flash mode :
- Turn off the phone
- Press and hold all Button [Power + Back + Volume up/down + Menu + Camera]
- Flash mode came with Green Screen and some statement from Developer (c) Copyright 2008 Borqs Ltd.

Any updates on this? bitung did a great job here. I know its an old phone but I have one just sitting around I'd love to tinker with or turn into something to play emulators on/as a gmote.

You realy did a good job for this. My friend has one Dell Aero and he would like to upgrade to 2.x.
I did try my best to hack it but currently I still hasn't finished completely. This device could ROOTED by SupperOneClick easily. I also obtained the source code from DELL open source with release 2.1and built them sucessfully. But I wasn't able to find a good way to produce a ROM image like HTC etc as the flasher to be used for this device is different. I did try the TAVOR platform flasher that you provided but it didn't work. From the "flash mode" screen, we could see the bootloader provider is "Borqs", so I used firebolt instead. I found the firebolt is definitely a correct flasher for this device but it reconginized mff ROM file formate. As the Dell Mini i3 from China is similar with this device, so I try to download a "DELL_MINI3I_OMS1.5.ophone8_E034.mff" to flash it. But the firebolt seems block as some "IMEIBinding..." message. So I think we did need a original ROM from Dell to initial the workk first.
Because after I shell to the device with ROOT, I found it didn't have recover partition like other common device, so a original ROM would be very helpful when error occurred to restore back. The way I could try only now is manually install the 2.1 that I built with adb shell. But it would be easy to brocken.

sideloading still an issue
Hello all
I rooted my device form this other post on XDA http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-643868.html
I even pulled the settings.db from /data/data/com.android.providers.settings/databases/ and changed the install_non_market_apps to 1 but when i try to install an .apk file the security block still pops up. I dont know where else they have enabled the block.
I can install apps from the computer through adb, but I would like to install apps on the go without the need for a computer.
Thanks a bunch

1. Root

I've tried using SuperOneClick but stuck on process. Maybe not supported for Android 1.5
Read this article for root
NB : there is little problem after root the system, I can't open Market Android and Gtalk app, I was Master reset back to factory setting but can't fixed this problem till now, maybe there is chomod, mount, remount and sync command line when rooting process

Items such as google apps were _not_ deliberately removed: they actually were never included. Those missing apps are not freely available and depend on agreements with Google to be added to any distro. That agreement never happened, possibly were never attempted.
2. Flashing
-----------
FYI, firmware flasing for Dell Aero is Marvell (CPU) but I don't know why there is Tavor mention when recognize session the Phone with PC (Firmware Flashing tools)
Before instalation the phone should in flash mode :
- Turn off the phone
- Press and hold all Button [Power + Back + Volume up/down + Menu + Camera]
- Flash mode came with Green Screen and some statement from Developer (c) Copyright 2008 Borqs Ltd.
Firmware flashing use this tools :
Usb Driver for recognize phone to PC (firmware flashing tools) use this :
Guide for instalation tools :
or this from Indonesia + Picture , I was translated using google
or from China + Picture I was translated using google translate
3. Build ROM
------------
Dell opensource has realease the source, Android 2.1 [Eclair] is newer source for Dell Aero :
but not ready for flashing/Upgrade must be build for some image file for flashing/upgrade, I'm still learning how to build till grab some image file for flashing but don't worry there is Read Me file pdf for guide this build source and googling reference well (just for me)
4. Miscellaneous
----------
Honestly I'm really interesting for this phone because the Hardware is nice [I guess] but not for the Old Operating System
For developer name [Borqs.com] this Operating system I was found when flashing mode chaos metode Press and hold all button [frustrate moment] and it works
so I search in google for that developer info and I found :
in menu of Technical Service > download > there is upgrade source but can't download [server not found] what kind developer support about that
Borqs enterprise group, there is Dell Aero picture
<<<< Borqs Team Leader
I was email [email protected], [email protected], [email protected] to solved this stuff specially for Flashing Firmware tools because link download above builded for another phone like Miphone, Iraptor etc from China phone that same CPU mention Marvell or Tavor [Correct me if I'm wrong] but there is no reply for almost 1 week.

hey hi there alan, I'm gurwinder. i'm frm india. here in india online shopping websites have lured us for buying dell aero at very cheap prices, i think lot of people have bought it online. but now all of them are facing lots of problems this phone has.
1.first of all this phone has locked access to everything we can download limited apps from Google market...yes android market because its not updated version, have 1.5 cupcake version and it doesn't allow system to be update...there is no option to download update to operating system in mobile. it so it doesn't allow any root app like z4root or superoneclick to be downloaded from android market...neither we can download it on desktop and transfer it to phone...it is no use because such is not allowed to be installed in phone..
2. we seriously want to upgrade the android operating system but cant do it..
3. there is a urgent to need to root this phone because we have very limited access to rights.... it is like we are provided with a desktop with a guest account....so at&t and google have every admin rights to this phone
so i thought going online and asking for help form you guys....you guys are expert and i know you will surely help us
thanks...

2.1 rom for anyone interested
I have an Dell Aero (V01B-V01B001) and like all of us want an updated rom for this cel, I found a 2.1 eclair rom for the aero in another forum and tried to flash them with firebolt, but keep geting a "status: 2-usberror" I uploaded all the files to the same 4shared account in case anyone whishes to try their luck. I suspect my failure has to do with the firmware version or maybe the imei. My firmware is BZ3G1.4_9.00 (43973)

SuperOneClick is not an app it is a program that should be run from you pc, you can find it at shortfuse dot org

Dell Aero 2.1 Factory Update
I am Not responsible for bricked devices , dead SD cards, Thermo nuclear war , dead pixels or breaking your WARRANTY . Read only if know what you are doing . It can easily make your smartphone a smart paperweight.
Dell Aero a great phone with android cupcake now can be updated to 2.1 eclair .
1. Works only on windows xp so either use a windows xp PC or run virtual xp mode on windows 7 . ( Google Virtual Xp mode for windows 7 )
2. Download and install Firebolt. (http://www.mediafire.com/?f45haso0nklvfxf)
3. Enter flash mode on dell aero by pressing all buttons and holding . Power button should be held in the end . Phone should be powered off while holding button combo.
4. Connect phone via USB cable to the PC . Open device manager search for unknown device TAVOR . Update its drivers by searching the folder C(local disk):\program files\borqs\firebolt\drivers\usbdrivers\ or where you installed the files. Once done you should see an USB device named MTK bootloader in device manager.
5. Download firmware and extract it . (http://www.mediafire.com/?26b744sedds2yu4)
6. Switch off phone take out the battery.And open Firebolt and set it to look like this.
7. Press the button in red circle and select the extracted firmware file(.mff).
8. Connect the phone WITHOUT battery via USB cable to the PC.
9. Press flash(black rectangle) and insert battery together .
10. If the phone powers on in flash mode ( Green Screen with Flash Mode written on it ) let the software flash the phone. Elif try the step again.
( This method doesn't give usb error like the engineer method in which you turn the phone on flash mode first and then flash it . )
( If error occurs or flashing doesn't start try reinstalling the drivers or get the drivers signed)

z4root is not in the market for a long long time check google, and also check "install from unknown sources" in android settings

[Q] windows mobile

hey,
well obviously I'm a newbie here and i needed to know if anyone can help me find a download link for windows mobile?it crashed on my Siemens pocketloox and i lost my cd so i've been looking everywhere for a downloadable version but i can't find one.
thanks in advance.

Dude a pda is not like a pc where you can freely install any OS you wish... The official Windows Mobile versions must be provided by your manufacturer (there isn't a Universal version per say... if you try to flash the version of another device you'll kill your phone). You may try to check Fujitsu-Siemens homepage for an official ROM update or contact them if needed
Over the net you may find ROMs for pda but bare in mind these are device specific and your device usually needs to be hacked in order to install unofficial versions (your device seems to be quite old... I don't believe you'll find any rom here since xda is almost HTC land).
Also what do you mean by crashed? Did you brick it (OS won't start... all you get is a black screen)? Have you tried removing/reinserting the battery and restarting?

the start menu suddenly has no icons,and neither the camera shortcut button nor the notes one are working.basically,it just opens and almost everything is disabled.

The easy solution is...
Just hardreset the device (seach here) and it will reset your device to factory defaults (it's like a format+reinstall)... Problem solved.
Just make sure you backup your data (photos, contacts, messages...) before because everything will be erased

thanks a lot man it worked.
