[Q] Installing Android..HELP! - General Questions and Answers

Hi guys..
I have a really simple question, I have looked all over the net for a simple and STEP-By-Step way to get Android to run on my HD2 but I havent found anything. I have read that I need to change my ROM and Radio but how does one do that? I have a stock HD2 without the color keys.
OS Version 5.2.21869
Manila Version 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version 1.48.707.2(71294) WWE
ROM Date 11/09/09
Radio Version 2.05.51.05_2
Protocol Version 15.28.50.07U
Is there anyone that can help, PLEASE

From the HD2 section - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=732380

It still didnt solve my problem... I cant find anything that supports my ROM version and My HD2 isnt the same as the ones in the US I pressume cos I dont have the color keypads....

WM6 --> WM6 TouchFlo

Hello everyone,
I have just installed WM6 on my Qtek 9100, with this ROM:
ROM version: 10.2.0.8
ROM date: 2/03/07
Radio Version: 02.19.11
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.09
Now, this is really cool but I thought it had this new Touchflo which I wanted to try...Now here's the question:
Isn't there a cab file or something to install it without having to look for a new ROM, downgrade, install it again and all that stuff? I think it would be useful.
Looking forward to your kind feedback,
Thanks in advance,
Nicolo'
if you want TouchFLO, you must replace touch.dll with a touch.dll compatible with touch flo technology, and this replacing can't be done while the OS running, so it must be edited on the rom you want
Oh, so I have to install it again huh...
Do you know any good room with it inside? Do I have to dowgrade to something special or can I install it like right now?
Thank you so much for you kind and fast feedback
Nicolo'
there are many of TouchFLO roms like:
- TNT 5.0
- NBD 9.1
- Black Diamond 2.0
- See No Evil
go to every rom thread and check out the feedback, but the latest one is the first
for instructions how to get the best steps, check TNT 5.0 instructions
have a good try

HTC S710 ROM update

Hi, I'm new to updating ROM's....
I want to update my S710 from its original ROM version 1.15.405.2 to the one i found on the site: RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.
My radio version is 4.1.13.37_02.83.90. Can I use this update on my phone or not? Does the radio version's need to match?
Thanks

You should have no problem using this ROM to update your S710 as I used that ROM for a short while when it first came out, I then moved oveer to Dr. Gonzo's New Guava ROM, and I am now using his WM6.1 ROM, been using it since his first test ROM came out and I am now using his latest WM6.1 v1.0a ROM.
Roland
Roland, simple question. What is the advantage of upgrading ROM's? Newer features? Faster software? Just curious I guess. I just got my 710 and wondering whats the buzz with all this rom and 6.1 stuff. Thanks!

@ Polarbair
To have the latest on your Vox offcourse.
Just like Rolandh I have updated my Vox with the WM6.1 rom from Doc. Gonzo.
And the new features and the increased stability are great.
Futher more I noticed the response of the software in some areas is better.
So all pro's and little con's.
Chong
The official HTC WM6 Update added a Network Setup Wizard and Office 6.1 to the ROM. Dr. Gonzo's WM6.1 adds Threaded SMS, New Internet Explorer Mobile with the ability to set your own Homepage, a better Home/Today Screen and some extra apps that Dr. G has added and is more responsive and a little bit more stable than WM6, and as Chongie says to have the lates version of WM on you Vox aswell.
Roland
Having only added Gregory's HTC plugin to this phone, if I wanted to add Dr. G's WM6.1, what is the proper way to do so? Is there some precautions I need to take first?
Not much precautions
Hi,
There is not much precautions to take, apart from taking backup of your contacts, that is and making sure that there is battery backup to your PC, so that the update process is not interrupted. Because once you update the ROM, all your data will be erased. Its like formatting your hard disk drive. If your vox is network locked (mine was not) then you need to unlock the phone first. If you download Dr G's latest ROM, then you will find out how to do it (there is a step by step guide that comes with it).
Honestly, if you followed the guide, there is hardly any chance of screwing up. And once you start using the 6.1 ROM, you will surely wonder how the hell could you ever have used the original ROM that came with HTC Vox
Wow, appreciate the awesome explanation! Thanks! As far as locked or unlocked, I'm assuming its unlocked. Bought it off Ebay, stuck my sim card from t-mobile in it, turned it on and worked like a charm! Have heard the term "bricking" phone, which i'm assuming means locking it up, correct? Since I wasnt the original owner, are there certain "codes" or info off the phone i need to get first? You know, like some software info or phone specific info?
Thanks again and am looking forward to upgrading this slow pig that wont update windows!
Off to back up contacts now, lol...............

Help, p3600 upgrades!!!

Hello,
sorry for this topic, but I'm new here and not too skilled, so I need a detailed help 'cause I'm getting crazy!!...
Well, I have a p3600 EN version,
WM5,
rom version 1.23.405.2 (dated 2007-03-11),
radio version 1.38.00.11,
ExtVersion 1.23.405.103.
I read everywhere that HTC released rom and radio upgrades which unlock GPS (that I actually don' t see),
so I tried to download the latest official rom version (I still don't know the code, it should be the 1.23.408...) from the HTC download area, but it makes me download ONLY the same rom version that I still have, the 1.23.405.2!!!
I tried to flash it anyway and nothing changed...
That's why the 405.2 may is the latest rom version available for my phone?
Or my phone may have some sort of lock on it's codes so that I can't upgrade anything? it could be possible?
What is the right rom version I should have?
Please help me!!!
thanx in advance
Debby
Hey Debby 85, it is not so hard to do
first flash http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293632
then choose a gps enabled rom, i think from about the middle of 2007 they are all gps enabled.

Noob question

Hi first time poster.
I am the proud owner of a HTC touch pro 2.
Ive been reading on this site about the different roms eg Manila but goodness im so confused, im not really that tech pro. In my settings screen it says "TouchFlo 3D 2.1.38158.2", after some reading on this site it seems to me thats the manila version. is that right? if so how do i upgrade it so i can use the custom themes and skins.
Also i have windows 6.1 on my device atm. should/can i flash it? If so what is the recommended rom to put on (if thats the right way to put it)
Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard
have a deep read here to learn hot to upgrade your ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
You can upgrade to wm6.5 if you want.
I can recommend Energy ROM´s
Leo= Manila 2.5 (slower for Rhodium)
Phoenix2= Manila 2.1 (better for Rhodium)
Good luck and enjoy!
thank you so much for your reply.
I just flashed my fone with hardspl but have yet to install a rom.
should i (do i have to) update my wm6.1 to wm6.5 to use the Energyroms?
i guess another way to put that question is, is it worth installing roms on my 6.1 or is it just simply better and wiser to upgrade to 6.5 and then flash a rom?
Give it a try!
Don´t be afraid, if you follow instructions all should be ok
And if you don´t like 6.5 you can always move it back easy!
thank you so much for your replies.
I cant seem to locat.e an upgrade rom for my fone and ive searched these and other forums like crazy, ive googled everything, been on the HTC website i just cant seem to locate it.
Rom version : 1.19.707.2 (51489)
Rom Date: 06/22/09
Radio Version: 3.55.25.27
Protocol Version: 61.25t.25.19U
Thats the infromation on my fone. i put up a thread in another forum and they just showed me the google link for the search and closed the thread. The search didnt help at all. Does anyone know where i can find the update FOR THIS.
Thank you so much
Do a search for Energy ROM´s

WM6.5.3 or ROM 1.66 or Both?

I have a UK Spec Sim Free HD2 using T-Mobile.
I have the original ROM (1.48) and am still running WM6.5.
My question is, what is the best thing to do:
A) Update my ROM to 1.66 - Download from the HTC website
B) Update my OS to WM6.5.3 - Where/How can I do this?
C) Update Both ROM and OS - Anyone done this? How have you got on?
D) Leave well alone - If it ain't broke, don't fix it!
Any advice is welcome.
NB: I tried searching the forum but I couldn't find any post which addressed these specific questions.
1.48 is broke so deffinatly install 1.66
no idea about the OS...didnt realise there was another one available...but then i am a n00b
It all depends, if you don't mind beta testing somebody elses work, go for 6.5.3 if you want a nice stable ROM for everyday use, go for 1.66.
