Hi keep reading on how to hardspl my touch pro 2 so i can upgrade 6.1 to 6.5 and it looks pretty simple right i just use the hardspl unlocker so cdma-gsm unlocker on my computer run it. and apparently it shuts off the phone right? So when its still connected i flash a rom am i getting this right? any special carrior file i save b4 i do this? or what? Just need a bit of advice on which rom is very stable and make sure i dont lose any of my functionality of my carrior like picture mail,sms,phone, mms?
What rom would be ideal for me thanks?
First Go here
Then search for a rom that is specific to your carrier. Theres a lot of roms out there on XDA but mainly here on PPCGeeks. You could also use BuildOS which could be found here to build your own rom. But if you don't feel comfortable doing that then I would suggest going with mightyrom on ppcgeeks. That is the one that seems to be stable & not bloated. There are a few versions so READ THE ENTIRE FIRST PAGE on the forum for each rom your interested in regardless of what site you find it in and have your pick according to your preferences. Its very easy with a cooked rom. I just prefer making my own with BuildOS. If you need more help feel free to ask. I dont mind typing...lol.

Firstly, greetings.
I'm sure I'm opening myself up for abuse as per what I've read in countless posts but here goes.
I've been searching, and reading, and learning - hopefully enough to get myself through my first ROM flash without bricking my Kaiser, and for all the information here on this forum I thank you all.
My question however is one that I can't find a straight forward answer; with all these seductive cooked ROMS and shiny new features (CUBE, WM6.1, KaiserDiamond hybrid, D3D) not included on my bog standard phone.. Am I safe to presume that all ROMs in the Kaiser forum will run on my Kaiser? I want to make sure before I'm lured in by a new ROM that I cannot run.
Again, thank you to all the cooks, and those creating the Wiki's.

The only concern would be compatible radios (ie some Roms will not function properly with some radios) just read in the Rom thread to determine compatible radios or flash a rom with a built in radio (l26's new roms for example). Make sure you install hard spl, flash a proper radio and then flash ar new rom and your on your way (don't get nervous if your pda stays in tricolor for a couple of minutes before the rom starts flashing, I freaked out when that happened the first time I flashed).
I've been browsing and searching this website all over to find some info on what would be a good shipped ROM for the Kaiser.
I know u guys r writing that everyone find his own way to setup the phone.
but Since it has the same hardware than I think there must be some good ROM version the people would recommend to use.
I know for sure that WM6.1 runs very very slow... (unless u have it otherwise).
I'm a real newbie to these thing and have no warranty to my phone so I don't want to mess with it much. So please help me out here.
Also how can check my phone to see if my currnet SPL is unlocked to flash and OS is coocked or shipped?
tnx

Yeah...basically what these guys said. Look it up.
People on here are glad to help but only after it is obvious you have tried to find the answer on your own.
Not again Please take the initiative to try ALL the ROMs out and choose which one you like best.
I've tried many of the latest roms like L26V12, Hyper Dragons III(HSUPA), ROMeOS4.5.1, DK SupaClean, KaiserMedia V2, NATF's ATT ROM, Garmin's DK3.1 and Final. I've found Garmin's DK3.1 and final are the best ones out there. I still need to tweak it a little like changing all the boot screen, animation, welcomeheah96, the radio and keyboard fix. After all that, I'm loving my phone again. Like everyone eles said: read, read, read, flash, flash, flash, play with it, play with it, play with it, find the one you like.

excatly what i did, went through 6 different ones in all (Duttys 6.1, ROMeOS etc) before finally settling on sleuths V3.0 as i felt it suited me more (and got my gps working!) the install/flash procedure was a doddle and everything happened as it should.
read the instructions on HardSPL, flashing roms etc and follow them to the letter!
you'll be flashing in no time! i cant belive how easy it was!
Redundant thread. Redundant thread. Redundant thread.
Hi, first of all I tell you I'm new in this forum. Afterward I tell you that before posting this thread I read the different FAQs and guides posted hera and I search for my following question but I didn,t find any answer.
I want to change my original ROM that came with my phone but I have few things I want to know before beginning the process. These are:
1- Any ROM will work with my phone? I brought my phone from US and it was unblocked, so I can use it with any SIM from any company here, in Argentina.
The problem is that in the page where all the ROMs are described I don't find my ROM version. My ROM version is 1.82.707.0 WWE and the Radio Version is 1.27.15.32. The protocol version is 22.51.88.13W and the ROM date is 11/03/07. In the Model No it says "Kaiser". The most aproximate version I found in that page is 1.81.707.0 and the Radio associated with it is 1.27.12.11. What I want is to change my ROM to beging using WM6.1 cause the version of my WM is 6.0, but I don't know if I chose any of the ROM that are available or I have to take care of something I don't know.
2- Suposing I can chose any ROM available, is it convenient to use it with the radio that is associated with it or I have to continue using my radio version (1.27.15.32)?
3- If I change the ROM following all the steps that are described in other FAQs or threads, the phone will continue unblocked in order to be useable with any company or it will be blocked for a certain one, for example AT&T? Remember I am in Argentina.
4- How can I do to backup my current ROM and Radio so, if I have any problem I could restore it to my phone? It is supposed that if I do so (restoring the original ROM) the phone will operate as it's doing now, insn't it?
Well, that all for now.
Thanks a lot.
Guido.
My dear friend all the questions you ask have been asked many times and answered many times. I have a hard time believing when you say you have read everything .. because your post makes it obvious you haven't. Nonetheless i'll answer these questions here for you:

Yes "any kaiser rom" will work with your phone. But first you need to get Hardspl than you can flash any rom that is available here to your phone. Looks like you have a wm6 rom and wm6 radio. When you upgrade to wm6.1 you will need a wm6.1 radio. Most roms come with radios so you don't need to worry about this. If a rom doesn't have a radio the cook will specify that and most will often suggest which radios work best with their rom. To see a list of different radios available please check link in my sig for Alltheway's thread on radios.

i already answered this in my above answer. But to reiterate wm6 rom will work with a wm6 radio i.e what you already have; a wm6.1 rom WILL NEED a wm6.1 radio so it won't work with your current radio.

flashing a rom in no way changes the unlocked status of your phone.

umm okay you don't wana do this yourself as i don't think so you know how to. Most of the stock kaiser roms are available in the wiki and have links to download them. In the even that you want to return your phone back to its original rom you can download from kaiser wiki.
Secondly please do extensive reading... your post shows that you really haven't done your homework. A kaiser is a expensive piece of equipment and you definitely don't want to mess it up just because you were lazy and didn't want to first understand exactly what you were doing.
Having said that i wish you good luck and happy flashing.
Thesire...first of all I really appreciate your quick answers tomy questions. I have to confess I didn't think to get an answer so quickly.
Anyway, I have to tell you that I didn't write anywhere I had read "everything" as you say. Of course I didn't, all the time in the universe life would be enough to do it. But you can be sure I followed all the instructions that are posted to do before posting a new thread, and those include reading the FAQ of ROM Developing, seeing the charming video of "what to do before posting a new thread", search my questions, and I tell you I spent all the last thursday looking for any answer to my questions, but I didn,t find them. I am not saying that they are not, of course they may be, but I didn't find them. Perhaps, of course, it's almost sure is because I didn't know how to search. But I did it. I read about the different SPLs that I have to download, the different version of them I have to try if I have for ie. the blank display, etc.
Another thing, when you say that always I can have the posibility to restore my original ROM downloading it, I told that in the thread that appears all the ROMs my actual version is not there. So, I wonder where my ROM is comming from and who cooked it.
At last, but not for that less important, I want to really thank you for your and for the time you spent answering my questions. Just remember I'm a newbie and perhaps, someday I'll be answering a question from you in this theme or another, ie. communications!!! Also remember that for us, the people who don't have the english as our natural languaje, sometimes reading the posts can be a little difficult and can be reading something that is answering our question and don't actually realize it or don't understand it at all.
Thanks.
Guido.

Hello. I have been lurking in these forums for a while now, reading, learning. I want to flash to a new rom and wm6.5, but I am very confused. I've read the stickies and wikis and searched for a simple answer, but most of the thread titles and bodies read like sanskrit. I can follow the directions on how to flash, but I really have no idea what to flash. There are so many options and no real explanation on whats what. Some roms require extra downloads, some are full, or complete? I don't really want a lot of crap software on there... will my 6.1 cabs work on a cooked 6.5 rom? Not every rom works with every radio, and some don't come with...? I guess I am wondering why the choosing and downloading of a rom and all other necessary files can't be simplified. Is it just because you guys are developing them so fast? I am not a total noob. But it is clear that most of you guys are light years ahead of me, and use a vernacular that is hard to understand. Please don't hate on me because I am asking a dumb question. I just don't want to have to become a cook in order to get what I want. Hope someone can shed some light on roms for me. Thanks.
I have...
AT&T Tilt
ROM - 3.57.502.2 WWE
Radio - 1.65.21.18
Protocol - 25.88.40.05H
First step is to read the:
[Resources] Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)
As your device needs to be Hard-SPL'd to flash custom ROM's.
Then just like everyone else it's all trial and error look @ the ROM threads and read the first page to see what is in the ROM and the Hard-SPL recommendation and Radio, WM6.5 has a bit more to flashing and again noted at the start of threads.
There is no easy root and everyone has to go through the process of learning searching as there will be things that stump you along the way.
On that note i'm closing thread.
Good luck and have fun flashing
I'm a newbie to HTC HD2, I've been reading through this forum for a few weeks but I'm still quite confused about versions and mods available out there. So, can someone experienced explain to me about the following:
My HD2 comes with Traditional Chinese ROM (probably from Taiwan) and the manila version in it is 1.0.19211620.0.
When I browsed through the max manila thread, and the top "sense 2.5 tweaks and mods" thread, it seems that all those mods are for "sense 2.5" or "manila 2.5" version. So, does that mean that my manila version is far behind? If so, can I still download and try those mods with my HD2, or should I upgrade my manila (and how can I upgrade it?).
Well.. that's about those questions I'm confused. Thanks in advance for any one who can kindly help me.
This will be an interesting thread for me to watch. My Manila version is 2.5.19202525.0 and that's how it came from the store.
I kinda have the same question you have. also i wonder how it all relates. i get the idea max manila is an upgrade for the standard manila, whatever it is i don't know. niether why some sense addon cabs don't work for me (like the call history, didn't look too complicated for an addon to me)
I'm not sure if you can upgrade manilla without flashing a new ROM. Though don't take my word for it, I just haven't seen it on XDA. Although I did see something about the document tab in manilla as a .cab....
Anyway, have you considered flashing a new ROM? I flashed Miris 6.5.x V3.0 and works great (was first time too, it was easy). That would upgrade your manilla. Although, i've no idea about flashing a ROM and region of your handset. I just know I used WWE. You'll have to wait for someone more knowledgeble than I to reply.
If want to find out if the .cab files work, just try one. I assume it can be uninstalled anyway, if it doesn't work then you may want to consider flashing a custom ROM, or perhaps a more recent stock ROM. There's excellent video guides on how to flash Stock and cutsom ROMs using HSPL in the ROM section.
Hope this has helped.

Thanks for the reply. I did try some mods and some of them work while others don't. I believe some mods crashed with the camera so I became more cautious about trying them out now.
For the region thing. I have yet another question. I understand that the official ROMs were from different HD2 released in other countries, but does that mean that if I install a US ROM then I can't read or type Traditional Chinese, or it's only a interface difference? If that is the case, I don't think I am going to flash my machine because I need to type and read Chinese language.
