Sorry i have spent hours searching and trying to find a simple answer.
My HD2 has Manila 1.0.1911620.0, rom 1.48.831.0.
Everything is working ok, so don't want to mess it up, but is it possilbe to upgrade to manila 2.5 or 2.6 without creating other problems.
Or is this what i am stuck with?
Also how do you find version of Sense? How do you upgrade this to newer version.
Last thing - how do you edit sms "quick text" entries or add new ones?
you can't upgrade manila only, you have to upgrade to a newer rom, 1.6 for example. you can do that going to htc.com choose your region and device and you will find a rom upgrade there
there will be all the info you need to do that
good luck
no upgrade available? seems strange.
My phone is an import, not sure where it is from originally.
my rom version is 1.48.831.0 (71294)
My manila Version is 1.0.19211620.0
i went to the singapore website HTC and the hong kong website - siad upgrade was not suitable for my device.
Anyone got any ideas?????
Yup, lots of ideas like you start reading the forum and using the search button.
In this topic:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=577717 there are the official shipped roms.
Another user scared off by the elite?
Everyone starts at the beginning sometimes and sometimes searching doesn't produce the exact answer to your specific question particularly if you are new to this. So that leaves people to either do without or ask a direct question if they don't understand the how the search results should be interpreted to a particular situation.
Some of us have lives outside our phones!
I have probably spent 24 hours in the last week searching the threads for answers to a few questions.
Some things that may be basic to guys who spend lots of time learning mods etc, are not straight foward to the rest of us.

There is a very simple way of fixing this. In my case HTC did not release any updates for my region (Eastern Europe). If you want a simple update of your stock (not cooked ROM) just go to the HSPL thread, perform HSPL (takes not more than 3 min) and than download a Stock ROM for any region. It will install fine and without a problem.
Cheers!
Flashing ROM
Hi
We have all been where you are. Visiting this site can be like an alien abduction, you lose time. I have spent many a dark night searching and reading thousands of posts and threads trying to find an answer to my question.
With regards to your situation, as mentioned above, the way to upgrade your manila is to flash a new ROM.
The issue of HardSPL and how to go about flashing your HD2 can be found in one nice clear thread here -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
Once you have sorted out your HSPL you can flash lots of things but ideally it's probably a good idea to start with a stock ROM. You can find and download any of the HTC ROMs here -
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Leo/ROMs
Your circumstances sound similar to mine, I was on the stock WWE 1.48. I found the best option was to go with WWE 1.66 (BTW, WWE = World Wide English).
This ROM should bring you up to Manila 2.5.1921
Does it wipe the carrier settings
If I flah a new rom, does that mean i need to set up all the carier settings. i.e I am with Vodafone NZ, will i need to set up the MMS and data settings from scratch?

You shouldn't need to, no. It should be just like when you first bought the phone and took it out of the box. The first boot up will detect your SIM card and attempt to apply the appropriate settings.
Having said that, it's always a good idea to keep a record of your settings in the event you need to manually re-input them.
Also note, a ROM flash will wipe all data, settings, cab files etc that you have installed. It will basically return it back to the factory settings. So backup anything you don't want to lose (contacts, photos, emails etc).
It is not necessary, but a good safety measure, to remove your SIM and storage card when you flash.

New to Cheetah, previously on Hermes. I have a couple of questions as I transition.....
1) How is the battery life? I guess I am a power user and like to d'load msgs every 5 mins and use xpressmail for work. Hermes barely gets me through 5 hours on a full charge. Will I get the same with 750?
2) Will the apps that I use on Hermes work for Cheetah? (i.e. HTweakC, PIM Backup, Bandswitch, softkey changer)
3) Whats up with the "Custom" ROM's?? Where can I find those? Are there any available as I have been looking in the WIKI and I see nothing but shipped ROM's. Im use to having many to choose from, and I donate generously since I do not have the time to do them myself.
Help!
Wow, I cant believe that 75 people can read a post and NOT ONE response! Some help this forum is... The HERMES section was MUCH more active. But let me attempt to HELP by letting you know what I have found.
1. Some of the apps do work for this phone that had worked in Hermes.
1) Bandswitch- Works
2) HTweakC- Sort of works (I received a msg saying "not for the 750" but the registry edits were made.
3) HTC X-button- works
4) IM+ has a different file but works.
As far as "custom ROM's" I have not found any and have been searching on other sights as well. I will keep you posted.
I think this is the biggest change you will encouter switching from a Hermes.
There is so much more activity on most of the other forums. Why? Maybe because the Treo is a real business device? Who will tell...
The same goes for custom ROM's. There is no custom ROM as for yet. But flashing SPL has been done for a short time. Check it here.
Battery life for me is two days.
Most applications will work on the Treo. One application that has some layout problems is when entering the settings is WeatherPanel, but it still does work.
Hi folks,
I've read volumes of posts about all kinds of wonderful cooked ROMs in addition to the many shipped/oem and HTC ROMs that are available for the Kaiser. It's been a challenge to figure out a way to pick one and I am hoping to get a little guidance from some of you have have tried many of these ROMs already.
I have an AT&T Tilt and I have recently tried the 2nd HTC wm61 ROM (the one that can't reboot itself.) If it wasn't for the fact that it keeps locking up on me (seems like something that happens when an Alarm goes off?) I would probably be happy with it. I like to have the newest stuff, but that locking up (the phone won't receive calls, sometimes the whole thing just seizes up) just won't work for me.
I'm looking for a ROM that is close to a stock 6.1 but with most of the user applications left out so I can choose my own to install. I'd like to find one that pretty much looks like a stock ROM (menus and apps placed in the typcial locations) but just as lite as possible so I can select my own audio player, etc.
Can anybody suggest which of the various cooked ROMs I should look at? I just don't have the time to look at all the great stuff that is available right now, so I'd appreciate any thoughts you have to limit the ROMs I should look at.
Thanks very much for any guidance. Please let me know if I have left out any important considerations you would want to know before suggesting choices.
thanks again,

try Duttys newest lite ROM, so how it goes
my first flash was Dutty's about a week ago. So far so good...unlike the oem ROM, the phone hasn't lock up on me yet.
Hi all,
I sent my phone back to T-Mobile for a warranty repair because a couple of the keys stopped responding to key presses.
Got the phone back today repaired, they have replaced the keyboard. BUT they have also upgraded the firmware on the phone. Now it is WM6.1 and I am unable to restore my (a lot) applications etc from the 2gb backup file on my SD card.
It asks me for an upgrade file which I don't have. It performs the restore anyways but then the phone won't boot.
On performing a hard reset it comes back with WM6.1
I can't even cancel the damn T-Mobile customisations like I could in WM6 (by restarting the device before they install) now it just wipes the handheld again after boot and installs the T-Mobile crap again every time.
Please can someone help me restore my backup file? Where can I Get an upgrade file?
I found a guide here that I would have followed had I know they would upgrade my phone without my consent:
http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/answer.aspx?id=329
Is anyone here still on WM6 (not 6.1) able to create an upgrade file for me and host it somewhere?
I know it's a massive ask but I would be forever greatful if someone could help me out with this.
Many Thanks,
Alex.
If you dont want the 6.1 i would check the wiki/search for the 6.0 rom that you had before you sent it in. The older rom should be avaliable somewhere.. You just have to look for it.
I say you send it back to T-Mobile and ask for a G1 instead
I've spoken to T-Mobile to see if they could change it back and they said there is nothing they can do.
Is there some way to save my current rom to my SD card so that I can go back to 6.0, create an upgrade file for sprite, come back to 6.1 and restore my backup using the upgrade file?
I don't know where I can find the original T-Mobile Rom though I've looked on the web and the T-Mobile site.
Sorry I'll admit that I'm a noob at this.

Is the backup just to save you re-installing programs, or is there data in the backup that isn't backed up somewhere else?
The only thing I would really "lose" on my phone are the contacts which come right back as soon as I set the phone up to sync with exchange again. If I wasn't using exchange I would have all my contacts backed up in Outlook on my PC.
Maybe you just need to re-install your programs again. WM 6.1 does have some nice enhancements over WM 6.0.
Nothing they can do vs they can't be bothered

Complain to them about much longer GPS lock times (assuming you have the option of installing Tomtom or similar on your phone). I had this problem with the official HTC WM 6.1 upgrade (see this *Hopeless* GPS after 6.1 update thread for more info) and the HTC Service centre reverted the ROM back to 6.0 for free under warranty so if T-Mobile say they cant get the HTC Technical Centre to do this for you, they're not trying hard enough - time to escallate it to the manager! There's no physical reason why they cant revert the ROM and they should have warned you that they would flash the ROM.

I will lose a lot of data that is not backed up anywhere else. One of the main things is my TomTom favourites, which is full of locations I would have to drive to to save again, and can't drive to without the favourites lol. Other than that it's a lot of apps and customisations like numerous SPB apps that have been tailored to my requirements over the last year.

ffs I hope that's not going to be the case, I use TomTom 6 on my phone ALL the time and I'll be REALLY annoyed if it's not going to perform as well at that. It's the main reason I went for this phone.
I think I will ask for the manager. The pleb I spoke to did even go and ask someone if there was anything they could do.

GPS was a big drawcard for me also and the difference between HTCs official WM 6.1 vs WM 6.0 ROMs is like night and day (6.1 being night). Give it a test under your new OS just to see how it works with the T-Mobile ROM (I see there's a new 1.70xxxx series T-Mobile Radio - maybe yours has it now) but don't get your hopes up

Feel free to mention you know someone who had the ROM officially reverted for free under warranty. Remember, this is something that is possible to get done, I have personal experience of it.
As far as how to backup in the future, I backup all my Music, Videos and Tomtom Navigator 6.032 Maps and POIs etc on my microSDHC card using my Sandisk Cardreader and Windows XPs own backup utility. It's quick, free and works a treat! There's no need to use any special mobile phone backup software just for this sort of thing (although phone settings/configuration etc will require manual re-entering if you don't back them up - but then I'm unsure if it's possible to retain those across different OSs).
I tried to use my tomtom yesterday and it took ages to lock on despite having the quick gps downloaded.

Well then assuming you were out in the open and there's no reason why it shouldn't have got a quick lock (other than the 'up'grade), you know what to do!
For other T-Mobile customers and people considering using the radio in a non- T-Mobile Kaiser (not me!), it may be helpful if you post the ROM and Radio Versions you currently have.
ROM Version: 3.31.110.1 WWE
Radio Version: 1.70.18.02
Protocol Version: 25.83.40.02H
The sat nave seems better since that first lock, but I've only used it twice.
Is there a way to backup this ROM before I change back to do my upgrade file?
Cheers,
DJ

Repeat after me, this ROM is bad, this ROM needs to go, Old ROM is good, Old ROM is whats needed (for the meantime)!
Once you've got your SD Card contents back, then you can think about where to go from there and T-Mobile I'm sure will be only to pleased to supply you with the upgrade again or do it themselves.
Hi Everyone...
I did something to my phone and now I am looking to reflash it. I loved how I had my phone, but thought maybe a newer rom would help me out... I had the stock 6.0 installed. I used it primarly with TomTom.. I have the HTC Home installed and love it, but if touch flo is cool I would consider that as well.. I also love all the S2U, S2P, etc and other applications that made it very finger friendly, I like to be able to see what I have scheduled at a glance.. I do a lot of TXT messaging... I also like to play games on it (I use the nintendo enulator a lot) I have a 16gb microSD card so I have plentry of room if it need to install on the card as well (I had a Motorola MPX200 that I had to do that with). I also use Voice Command often. I would like instant messaging to be a breeze.
My Cellphone Service Provider is not AT&T (Einstein Wireless) and I would need to be able to put all the settings for them for internet and otehr network setting into it... so I need no AT&T bloatware or special software... I do take some pictures with my phone from time to time... so if there was a "Better" camera program that would be cool too...
I am hoping that there is a rom that has most of all of these features cooked in so setup will be a time saver... I know I will still ahve to manually enter the carrier info, but the extra software and stuff would be great.. If you are using a rom that does most of this and you love, let me know.. I am looking ot do this tomorrow..
Before this gets closed by the mods, our general suggestion is to try the different cooked ROMs available. The threads for each should show a list of applications included with the ROMs, so you can determine from the included apps if it is a ROM you are willing to try. If you have never flashed a cooked ROM, please check out the Wiki for instructions to prepare your phone for flashing cooked ROMs. It will save you a lot of headache.
You'd be better to try a few of the cooked ROMs and see what you like. The ROM's on the first two pages are the most popular ones at the moment. See what they contain from the firs few pages.
Thread closed as per guidelines.

I have been searching for recommendations on custom roms and since I am new I do not know if they are up to date.
I have heard of manial 2.5 and 2.1; but do not know what they are.
Also I heard there are custom roms of 6.1 and 6.5 but what is the difference?
To install a 6.5 rom do you need the 6.5 stock rom or can you do it from 6.1 stock rom?
I want performance, stability, speed, web browsing, and landscape slide out usable along with so it will work if I turn the phone and all sensors usable.
I am wishing to getting a head start since I am getting my Sprint CDMA TP2 in a few days. Any TP2 users here that think this phone is good and had it for a while?
NRG (aka EnergyRom) is probably the most popular ROM, i've been using it in various iterations since 12/09. It works well though Sprint picture mail can be problematic at times and I've been unable to disable HTC's texting/sms app (It can be ridiculously slow when you have a long conversation). 6.5 is a little more touch friendly than 6.1 but it's not a huge change. I use NRG's rom with sensity and CHT v2.0(cookie home tab which increases home screen flexibility). XDAndroid is also very nice (I'll switch permanently once they get the headphones working)
I have used nrg rom and have currently been using the superrom.
It's bare-bones and very fast. I had to add some of the .cab's that
i wanted but they are really easy to find. Phone has only frozen
on me like once and i have a large amount of text messages stored
on the phone.

I hope it doesn't have the same flaws as energy rom. I think I will stick with the stock Rom first. Can you list me any internet, text, calling, landscape mode, sensors, physical keyboard etc. any other possible flaws it may have? Is it wm 6.1 or 6.5 layout?
Can you link me to the most up to date mighty rom thread and original maker?
The HTC messaging problem and sprint picture mail problems aren't ROM specific. HTC messaging can take 20+ seconds to load when you've got a ton of messages(it doesn't affect the web browser or email), you can bypass this by clicking all messages before replying to a new text (this opens the default text client rather than the HTC one). There are fixes that are supposed to bypass HTC messaging entirely but they don't seem to work.
The sprint picture mail problem is due to sprint picture mail not really sending pictures but instead links to pictures (you have to install arcsoft messaging and some other files to make it work). Sharky's rom may not have this problem (since it was developed specifically for sprint) but pretty much any other custom rom will.
Sounds like you already got your answer! Try my ROM Check my sig. for my PPC Geeks thread. Seeing as how that site is more geared to CDMA, that's where all my ROM action is.
Are there any other roms that are made for Sprint winmo 6.5?
How much memory RAM does your rom have on boot up sharky?
I just today noticed on stock I am unable to send/ receive text messages but can call and browse the internet. Problem happened after a few installs like flash lite, nfs shift, resco explorer, and maybe sktools cleanup has ran and broke it. So I plan on moving on to a custom rom.
Do any custom roms change radio? Because I HOPE NOT. I don't want an SAR change lol. SAR level change will be bad.
in refferance to sktools clean up.......you have to be carefull what you delete esspecially in the invalid registory entries and values mode......i usualy leave that alone unless i no for sure what i am deleting wont affect the phone.....and also just go to your file explorer/mydocuments/regsrybkp and restore what was deleted....
I couldn't find registry backup anywhere.
got your reply my friend..get back to you in a few hours...
ok...i am no expert...ther are a lot of smart guys in this forum when it comes to ppc's...thumbs up to them...what i no about this is experience because i have deleted 100 things before i learned...i no that if you use the registry cleaner in sktools it will tell you that things are invalid and so on....when they are actually valid....why, i dont no...but first check to see if back up deleted entries is selected to yes.....in your sktools program under tools menu go to settings...then scroll to invalid registry entries and at the bottom of that list you will find that option...the same for invalid registry values...if they both are yes then everything you deleted should be in your files program under 'registrybkp'....mine is under 'mydocuments'/'registrybkp'.....and if the deleted entries are there just tap on each one and they should automatically restore...and last, if for some reason you dont have any backups then a hard reset would be my advice to you.....i hope that helped .....good luck and just keep going by trial and error!

I have maybe a dumb question. What does a cooked ROM give me, more functionality and features or just cosmetic modifications?
Thanks
All of the above. More stability as well. Phone rarely freezes to the point where it needs a hard reset and also no screen of deaths.

It's either on the rom forum page or you check the rom out yourself. Usually the original poster in the first post will list a list of features and give pictures for their rom. If you have any other questions, feel free to ask and don't forget to thank me if I helped.
