Hello,
Can someone explain how to save original rom from Milestone XT720 ?
Thank you and sorry for my english.
It may be easier to download the ROM image directly from Motorola using these links

I didn't have this idea, thank you for the link.
I came to ask the same question, I have a S/W version that is not found on that site.
My S/W is: STR_U2_05.1F.2
My carrier is Wind Mobile in Canada
I just want to ensure that I can flash it back if I have any issues with Dexter's 2.2 rom.
Also does anyone know if the network name will stay the same without an original Wind configuration. ie. right now it says "WIND Home" or "WIND Away" to tell me if I am on their network or roaming.
I am also looking for the default stock Wind firmware

It's the SIM and the network that tell the phone what to call the network. I'm using Dexter's 2.2 ROM from the US Brightpoint sbf (I'm on WIND but when I tried to flash to the Korean sbf from my stock WIND ROM, it just constantly FC'd). As of now it's showing me "WIND Home".
I am also a Wind customer. I previously messed up the bootup files on my phone, so I had to flash it. I used the Cincinatti Bell ROM, i believe, from the site with all the SBFs (sorry, don't have it with me ) I can confirm the ROM works identically to the previous WIND rom, with some small differences. One notable one is that the system's voltage seems to be higher (usually between 3.9 and 4.0), when the stock ROM seemed to read a bit lower.
I am going to install Dexter's rom over the reading week, how has your experience been with it so far, Iced? Great to know that it will work on our phones. Did you have to re-add the APN after the flash?
Sorry, I used the Brightpoint ROM. Not the Cincinatti Bell one!
My experience so far

Nope, didn't have to deal with that at all. As far as my first day with this ROM, its been good and bad. I had the same Facebook contact sync issue happen to me (not super important, already have to numbers I need in the cloud, sync is just slightly handy for a few things), and that my text scrolling would not work at all in any textbox (very useful in my opinion). The biggest issue would have to be Google maps taking a nosedive. It has a "Login Failed" error just after you open the app and it becomes sluggish and unusable after that. Had to uninstall after it started to FC and slowed my whole phone down (Went from 28ishMs to around 10 or less Ms according to my taskmanager). Might re-flash my phone or redo Dexter's nandroid backup if this keeps up and start fresh and clean again, didn't have a lot of luck with my Titanium Backup. Beside all that, great being able to use voice search, native apps2SD and the other FroYo goodies
Hey,
I'd like to be able to make calls via GSM network (not via wifi/voip) with my SIM card in my Xoom MZ601 (running a rooted stock ROM 3.2).
I saw some screenshots of some custom ICS ROMs, such as the "code android" ROM which apparently has a feature to do real calls (over GSM) with a Xoom (see pic in attachment).
Now I was wondering:
1) can you really make true GSM calls with "code android" ROM?
2) do other custom ROMs offer this feature too, such as Team EOS?
3) does this even need a ROM at all or will merely an app do the same job on Android 3.2?
I am not certain, but I believe it was harder than just putting the phone.apk on tablet. Your question has been asked before, have a search if you want.
Also, Skype? May seem obvious, but..
it would need cell radios.
try skype/voip/etc.
I don' think it is possible since I heard people say it doesn't have the hardware for it. Though I'm not sure if that's really the issue here. Anyhow from what I heard they have SMS enabled ROMS or mod.
Sms enabled roms?
Do u know which ones?
This rom was last updated on: [13-Oct-2012]

This rom is ONLY for Spark_W, or the HTC Trophy 7 on Verizon Wireless. If your Trophy is for ANY other carrier or unbranded, this rom WILL NOT WORK on your device!
This rom requires DFT HSPL for First Generation Devices V3 to be installed. Please read this HOWTO for more information.
I am happy to announce the official testing phase of XevRev for Spark_W. XevRev is based on Dynamics7 1.21 for HTC Titan by ultrashot. This is not a straight port of Dynamics7, and it features a few slight changes to allow for better interaction with the Verzion OEM, and one significant upgrade over Dynamics7 1.21.
To read a full list of features, checkout ultrashot's thread for Dynamics 1.21 for HTC Titan!
The big features for Spark_W owners are as follows:
-FULLY PROGRAMMABLE! FACTORY RESET IS mostly SAFE TO PERFORM ON PHONE! For safety's sake until I complete some more of my own testing, do not program the phone until a few mins after you reach the tile screen. Default programing at first boot is currently disabled.
-ultrashot's Unlock V3, with newer version of Xap Deployer.
-Based on Verizon rom, not ported from Spark Euro.
Key differences between Dynamics7 vs XevRev:
-Xap Deployer has been updated to v1.1-upd1, this allows the rom to be fully programmed with full unlock. This includes if you factory reset! You do not need to program with a stock rom anymore! YOU SHOULD THANK (and donate as well!) ULTRASHOT FOR HIS HELP AND INPUT FOR KILLING THIS PAIN IN THE BUTT BUG ONCE AND FOR ALL!
OEM packages are still Verizon, minus bloat like Netflix, Photo Enhancer, and Slacker Radio.
Nokia theme as been removed, since it overwrote the Verizon OEM theme. I might add it back in before V1, but for now its gone and it won't be the default option if I do add it back in. Verizon's OEM packages are highly integrated vs the standard Spark Euro packages.
Only US English will be available during testing. I will add back all packs that come with rom (plus request) after testing is completed. Do not request a rom language in this thread, please private message me and I'll make sure it ends up in the International version. I most likely will make an Asian version of this rom too. *edit 13-Oct-2012* I still need Japanese and Korean packages, please private message me if you know where I can obtain them.
Removed Russian mail.ru packages. These will be added into an international version after testing is completed/. *edit 13-Oct-2012* I have decided to leave it permanently out since no one is complaining it isn't there.
[*]Wireless-N support is disabled like it is by default. Having it enabled was making my own wireless network go completely crazy, and it didn't appear to increase the connection speed of the phone.
Notes about incomplete and complete features in XevRev Beta 1:
Bazaar for WP7 will be added. I think its a handy thing to have pre-installed.
Reinstaller will be added, but it isn't a priority feature.
WP7 Root Tools will be added.
Last.fm will be added, but it isn't a priority feature.
SYS 8773 Tango booting is a priority for a V1 of the rom, but for now it has 8107 Mango.
SYS 8835 7.8 available.
Most drivers are Tango v1, but you can still run Zune update to get newest radio and finish driver upgrade. Official Verizon tethering and fixes the long standing bug of random mac addresses.
The tethering network unlock by JerryJiang is not included because I do not know what values it changes. Non-Verizon network users will still need to apply it to enable tethering. I plan to implement this into my rom soon.
Radio is included in rom, and it is forced to Mango v3's radio. I am doing this to insure that CMAS support remains intact, but also because there is no official Tango rom from Verzion online yet to create a flash-able radio from. If you want Tango v1 radio (recommended by many users), simply run Zune update to get newest HTC driver.
*note about Internet Sharing PLEASE READ*[Updated 1-OCT-2012]
If you are a Verizon subscriber and have a metered data plan.... you're good to go.
ALL VERIZON USERS WITHOUT OFFICIAL TETHERING PLAN MUST DO THE FOLLOWING!!
After programming the phone via *228, dial ##PST# on the dial pad. After service tools install/load, select PST=>edit=>type in unlock code: 000000, Select M.IP Default Profile, select DUN NAI, change value to from ##########@dun.vzw3g.com to ##########@vzw3g.com (the # signs represent your phone number that should remain!) and select ok, select save and reboot phone.
If you are using an unlocked SIM card to run on another carrier, go here and run the tethering unlock xap by JerryJiang.
Special Thanks!
I special thanks to all those who made this rom possible. feropont, ultrashot and hd2owner, you all rock! Without all of your hard work and efforts, none of this rom would be possible! A shout out to my buddy NuAngel once again, for getting me into rom cooking a few years back!

I'd like to thank tonbonz for pointing out that you can run the Zune update, and it will install the newest radio to the phone (along with the last two missing packages, HTC_NKDrivers and OEM_8x50_NK_SPARK_W). It's odd, because previous to updating the XIP almost all of the new drivers save those two, I wasn't able to install the HTC update (and the older drivers always flashed on roms like DFT and ansars until these newest drivers).
Perhaps one of the drivers doesn't like updating, and since its already updated, the update process skips it and moves on? I wonder if its the WIRELESS driver.... I could dig in and find out, but really... why should anyone care?! lol Now you can have full unlock, programming, and the newest radio too! WOOHOO!
Thanks for the share.. works great.
im try this rom. please add the turkish language

You installed RSPL and didn't flash HSPL? Interesting... but the idea of my rom is so that you don't need to flash a new one all the time. I'm going to explode an old method of SPL downgrade for our phones (this old old OLD rom that ansar posted ages ago) and see if HSPL is possible using that. If so, we won't need to flash our phones.
I think the update-able part may be caused by the fact that I used the Verizon Wireless driver instead of the Spark GSM driver like in DFT and ansar roms. Even though a kitchen like OSBuilder will swap the wireless driver when I OEM cab install, I don't think Windows Phone will if the carrier ID's don't match. I'm going to do some testing by back porting the WIRELESS drivers and see if that is why the OEM updates are not installing in other roms. It's also possible that another package was at fault because during my testing, until I mostly ported the drivers to the newest ones, the OEM cab update was failing on my rom too.
Frankly, I wouldn't have known the oem cabs were flashing if it wasn't for tonbonz earlier post in the general forum, because I had sort of given up on it, assuming that HTC or Microsoft has implemented some kind of change that didn't allow the updates to succeed. Rom's like DFT's had worked for updating in their pre-release phase, but it would remove internet sharing because the policies for internet sharing were contained in the WIRELESS package. Dynamics7 by ultrashot solved this by using a different package with just the internet sharing policies, that way they would remain even if the WIRELESS package was updated.
The problem came when Verizon changed their WIRELESS driver to be different from the default HTC one found on Spark GSM. Even if you implemented the polices with the Verizon driver, you still couldn't start the hotspot service up, it would produce an error. I tired all kinds of lamo hex editing tricks to see if I could enabled, but couldn't (and I assumed other rom cooks working on Spark_W did as well). We're really fortunate that Verizon decided to boost support for Windows Phone and allow for tethering out of box, as we now have a spiffy updated WIRELESS driver with no stupid random mac address bug.
Spark GSM rom cooks may be able to port the Verizon Wireless driver, and then use JerryJiang's fix to allow the hotspot driver to work on their phone. However, this might keep them from using OEM update as well. Perhaps exploring this HOTSPOT feature (as it doesn't seem to be configured in the registery) that JerryJiang found it what will eventually produce a method to fully policy unlock tethering on Spark GSM and allow a different package to keep that hot spot unlock in place, while allowing OEM.cabs to update all the drivers on the phone?
I'm going to work on implementing JerryJiang's patch into XevRev as a package (not his xap) this weekend (I hope). He sent me his source code and I am going to do some digging to see what I can find.

Yeah, i didn't install HSPL . . i wanted the bootloader to get updated through Zune . . after all, i now have what i wanted all along - an unlocked phone which allows me to install a few useful aps which are not available on the Microsoft Marketplace and full access to all the folders, internet sharing and Zune updates. Why should i want to install another custom ROM ever again? (Not that we are going to see many more updates for Windows 7.5 anyway!)
My only regret is that i wasn't able to keep my saved messages. If i try to use my save store.vol and pimindex.vol, my contacts list gets messed up. Never mind, small sacrifice.
Thanks again . .

Yeah but... you.... nevermind.
I'm sure we're going to see 7.8 before end of life on this phone.. but Windows Phone 8 will be a completely different ball game.
I was thinking of the irony.. I couldn't release a custom rom until after we got the official tethering update... and the only reason I wanted HSPL on our phones was to have tethering.... derp. lol

you're forgetting, internet sharing still doesn't work out-of-the-box on the official rom, it requires Jerry Jiang's unlocker . . . so your custom rom is fully relevant

No, Internet sharing does work just fine... if you have Verizon service. If you are using a sim card to use a different provider, then that is a different story.
I'm not entirely sure that Verizon locked it down with the intention of not allowing the phone to use Internet Service on different providers (I mean, it wouldn't even work internationally either with its setup), but they locked it down simply to make DAMN sure that the people who are using it, are being monitored and metered by them.
Thankfully unlimited data users have a simple fix for it, as listed in my original post... although I'm not sure if its fully effective (there is a NAI setting in the original tethering setup as well that points to dun.blahblah...).

That's strange, do you have unlimited data or a tier plan? If you have a data cap, it should work with no mods. If you have unlimited data, you need to follow the instructions in my opening post, but you said you already did that.
And are you really using a Spark rom? This is a Spark_W rom. O-o;
Hmmm interesting, I like the idea of your rom, more like stock, but unlocked, and can get zune updates.
I'm currently use SolvZ's rom, and im really happy with it. I just got done posting in his thread about it. Funny because the only reason I want a ROM anymore is for customer colors. I don't even like the "no dehydrate" thing, it does weird things with my location when doing bing searches, it keep remembering the last location I was in and not clearing it and searching my current
When you get final out, I may give it a run. I have a upgrade waiting, so as soon as WP8 hits Verizon's stores bye bye good ol Trophy.

crap, i couldn't help myself. Your rom is installing now as I type this... 8%...
I was to be able to update so it stops bothering me. Plus my wifes bone stock Trophy seems to be doing very well with the latest drivers that came with her official Tango+HTC updates. ohhh ohhh ohh 22%
Well, G2G, ill be spending the next 30 mins configing my phone lol
PS: 41%

Done, its working great. Internet sharing working, rom is fast and smooth. All HTC updates installed! I got the newest raido my Wife's stock Trophy got. cool.
Thanks man! Ill let you know if I find any bugs.

The ROM Im using now is DFT Freedom Spark_W V1 for Verizon. Internet sharing works.
Nice ROM you have here by the way. Id really stick with it, but I really need Internet sharing. Maybe ill try it again down the road since I think ill be stuck with my Trophy a little while longer. Not eligible for an update until early 2013.
I somehow screwed up my programming again I did a factory reset because I screwed up the contact list trying to restore my SMSes. I waited a few minutes after the reset to do the *228 programming as the initial post says, and although the programming said it was completed successfully and the 3G icon came up, none of my calls are completing. I get a few rings then the Verizon lady saying there was a problem completing my call.
Any ideas on how I can fix this almighty Xev? Last time I had to reactivate my old smartphone and then redo this one, but hopefully I don't have to go through that again?
Btw, I love the ROM. The right blend of stock and cool homebrew apps

Try programming one more time and reboot.. if that fails, switch to another compatible phone on the plan and switch right back. I had this issue crop up once, but it was odd because I didn't need to program the phone a 2nd time for it to start working ;. (Meaning, I switched the phone off the plan, and then put it right back on it)
If you program the phone from scratch again, try typing ##PST#, let service tools load up, THEN program via *228. I tired doing it both ways, during my testing with programming, but only had that issue crop up once (so I thought it was isolated to just me that one time.. hence me asking people to wait a few mins before programming). Did you try to program during initial setup (not sure if that option reset itself after after the new drivers install.. I haven't had time to check), or after the main screen came up? (sounds to me like you waited.. but I'm just waking up... urgh OT at work is killing me..)
I've noticed that on some custom ROMs, the Verizon Visual Voicemail application doesn't work (If memory serves, it says something to the effect of "Media not supported"). Going back to my Rezound or Thunderbolt ownership days, I recall a workaround for this app, provided you are Rooted (and I believe need S-Off as well, but don't quote me on that). Here's the procedure to get VVM working on most HTC devices:
Download Visual Voicemail app from Store HERE.
Download Build Prop Editor HERE.
Open Build Prop Editor, allow SU access.
Locate/Search for "ro.HorizontalVVM"
Change from "True" to "False"
Reboot phone when prompted by Build Prop Editor.
Start the VVM App, login.
Profit.
Note: The App is not the one that comes with the One M8, but it is Verizon developed and has basically the same features as most of the "native" apps on stock ROMs.
Please note, I'm not a Dev by any means, so some questions I may not be able to answer. Also, if your custom ROM is missing the ro.HorizontalVVM line in the build prop, you would have to seek assistance from them. I can confirm that this procedure to work on the HTC One M7 (TeamVenom - Viper ROM) as well as the HTC One M8 (TeamVenom - Viper ROM). Note that the procedure has nothing to do with those ROMs, and I certainly don't mean to step on TeamVenom's excellent work in custom ROMs.
I will give credit to the original person that came up with this procedure once I can "dig" and locate.
UPDATE: For those running ViperOne M8 ROM, there is a (IMO) better workaround (MOD) that fixes VVM and MMS/Group Messaging. That process is listed HERE. Great job to JWhetstone02 !
