searching for Proximus ROM for Hermes

Hi All,
I wonder if somebody knows where I can find a rom of Proximus in Belgium.

Hi,
I'm from Belgium also ... why would you like to have that rom? Just install the latest ROM version here available ... I think that's the best ROM you can have ...

Well, I'm also looking for that rom and more specifically for the extrom.
Proximus added some special items in that extrom which I would like to have :
The mobile TV player (and I guess you also need the certificates), a custom version of MMS composer and a cab file which sets all connection settings, etc.
So if anybody has that rom (or ExtRom), please post it here.
Regards,
Bendalf

UP!!
Anybody can HELP with that?

Up I'm really interested in that too...
In fact I want to try upgrade to WM6 but I also want to be able to put the phone back to it's original state.
I don't know if it's really possible cause I have to update all software parts...
The reason is for warranty...

Guys,
Don't know exactly what part of the ext rom you're referring to? I bought a regular Dutch TyTn and have been flashing and reflashing and reflashing again From WM5 to 6 and back again, changing SPL in between and even started a little cooking of my own.
Most of the cooked roms work (very) well, but if you really want to make sure, you need to dump your original rom first before you flash a new one. (read the wiki and all the threads you can find first)
Anyway, I hope you have as much fun as me discovering how to customize your hermes and make it do what you want, how you want it and more important, make it do what you want it to do.
Grtz.

Hi aeroke,
Thank for your answer.
In fact, I'm just waiting to be sure that I can if needed (ie: hardware problem that need warranty) I can restore the phone to the exact original state to avoid any warranty problem.
So tell me if I'm wrong but full original state is:
- original IPL
- original SPL
- original radio rom
- original rom
- original extended rom
For now, I try to find each "original pieces" before upgrading
- for extended rom: I unhide it and simply copy/paste content of "Extended_rom" folder to my computer. Is it the right way ?
- for rom: I find a tutorial on the wiki and I'll follow it this evening, I hope I can do that
- for radio rom, IPL, SPL: for now, I don't know if it's possible to get (by dumping or downloading) the original ones and restore them after
I write all the informations I found in my phone for the original versions, here there are:
HERM200
IPL-1.00
HERM200
SPL-1.04
version ROM: 1.18.256.2
Date ROM: 07/2/06
version Radio: 1.03.03.10
version de Protocole: 32.34.7010.01H
version ROM Extended: 1.18.256.9643
So, as soon I'll be sure that I can roll back to the original state, I'll upgrade to the WM6 schaps version by following the vanx guide.
I found a guide for backing up and restore the TyTN by dumping the ROM just here. But I never found any guide to restore SPL, radio ROM, IPL...
I'll be happy to have any informations about that.
Thank you in advance

Don't worry about the warranty, i bricked my Hermes once (only after that i found out how to do it right ) and it was repaired with no extra costs. So i wouldn't worry to much about it.
Just go ahead and flash that thingy. Btw, the Black Satin (JJ) together with radio 1.47.00.10 works perfectly with Proximus.

Thanks for your response, I'll look about Black Satin.
Just another question, is there any incompatibility with any WM6 and Extended_Rom software provided by Proximus ?

I haven't used any software from Proximus untill now, bought my Hermes with standard WM5 and flipped in my Proximus SIM card. The software you find here on the forums do everything that you can imagine, so there is really no need for special proximus software i guess.

As far as I can tell, the IPLdoesn't change normally, but the SPL does change. Anyway no worries as you can restore your original SPL (I still have the 1.04 somewhere)
The radio rom can always be flashed back with the original duth rom you find here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
This rom also reflashes your IPL and SPL back.
As far as compatibility between the WM6 roms and Proximus soft goes, I don't know, but I can't imagne you need more/other soft than you find available right here.
EDIT: This is only my personal opinion, but I think I tried about al the WM6 roms and find the one from Schaps the most stable one, perhaps not the most graphicaly exciting one, but the most stable one.
Grtz

Settings Proximus
Hi, I'm also on Proximus here in Belgium. Has anyone found an Ext_rom yet from this provider? Or maybe any ideas when they will launch their wm6 version?
I haven't got the settings for proximus. Any help?
Tnx in advance

Hi,
I have one Hermes from their "Proximus Collection" so I have a Proximus Ext ROM on it. I can do a Backup of it and upload it to the xda wiki. (I'll do that this evening if I can).
I don't know if Proximus will provide an upgrade to WM6...

Thanks Genyam for your help.
Can you tell us the rom version you have ?

Would that work with WM6?

I don't know if it works with WM6 but as this is only a set of CAB files, I suppose that they are compatible.
I've already created and uploaded to xda ftp a dump of my ROM.
My infos:
ROM: 1.18.256.2
Date ROM: 07/2/06
Radio: 1.03.03.10
Protocol: 32.34.7010.01H
Extended ROM: 1.18.256.9643
The CID for the Proximus Hermes: QTEK_203

OK thnx, grabbin it right now. Is it French only?

The dump that is already uploaded is for ROM, not Ext_ROM, I'll put my Ext_ROM this evening.
I suppose that it's not french only cause when I hard reset my Hermes it's in Dutch.

yeah thnx i noticed. Np, i'll grab it tonight then.

The Extended Rom is added to this wiki page: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms
This is the first of the page

Now challange KarhU

can u download a Super CID form SD-memory on Bootloader for whom couldnt enter the WM and make "ActiveSync" On.?
discuss if it possible or not

well any one help

What do you use to get the ROM to the device? - do u use custom RUU? Because it can load the ROM to your device if it is connected to the PC by USB and if it is in bootloader mode. (If your tri-color screen says USB on the bottom it should work. You do not need AS to flash a ROM.
Edit: forget it - I just noticed that Elf CID unlocker needs working AS. However you can try to flash a ROM with matching CID (from your provider - i.e. if you have Orange branded elf use Orange ROM, Tmob Elf TMob ROM...) - that should revive your device. After that you can supercid it from working WM6 environment.

well i dont know the provider CID , and i tried to download the Original WWE ROM but it keep saying ID Vnder , i think i have changed the IPL and SPL how can i know the original IPL and SPL for normal HTC toch (elf)

Where did you buy the phone? Orange? T Mobile? Directly HTC Branded?
That should give you a hint which ROM is of matching CID for the device. E.g. official HTC ROM will not work on my Orange branded Hermes - I need Orange ROM to upgrade.
If you changed the spl your device would probably be dead - you should not even be able to see the bootloader screen. Moreover there is no bootloader with your version number for Hermes. If the bootloader identifies device correctly (does it say something like Elf?). then you should be running original Elf bootloader.

well i bought it from soudi arabi a dont know what kind of provider

im think about write CID code to make it superCID so i can download a ROM with original WWE

What does your bootloader screen say? If you had a Hermes ROM flashed in - it should say:
HERM100
IPL-
HERM100
SPL-
Connection type (Serial or USB)

I know...
But to use Pof's unlocker you need to run sspl and that thing needs AS which needs functional WM in turn...
You should be able to flash CID matching ROM - ideal case would be the ROM device came with. Are there any clueas on the device - ie is it branded somehow?

i know SSPL i do it its will force the device to accept the ROM no mattar what thats why i messd up my device
nope no clueas ,sorry

Try to look for saudi arabia shipped ROMs for Elf on the forum - that gives you better chances than tweaking the bootloader.

the problem that i think that i messd up the IPL and SPL
how i can make sure??

That is question for Elf owners/users. I can only tell you that SPL/IPL numbers you provided are not for Hermes - you can check it here and here.
As you can see the highest SPL version numbers for Hermes are 1.11 and then it jumps directly to 2.something, highest IPL version for Hermes is 1.04.
You can ask ELf users what Elf IPL/SPl number should be.
What is written above SPL number in your device?

ok thank you very much

the problem is the nearest HTC center is 1700 Km away otherwise i could make them fix it
can u help me to find original arabic ROM maybe u can post it in XDA-Wiki shipped ROM||

I still think that you have a proper origianl Elf bootloader on your device. It is a pity you did not back your ROM up before flash. You can try to find some saudi arab members of this forum, they can tell you which operators are in the country so looking for your ROM may be simpler. Otherwise I can only suggest you to try all official Elf ROMs you can find until there will be a match. You can be sure that your device does not have CID of ROM you tried to flash.

Elf wiki does not have shipped ROMs part filled. Here is the link.
Ok lets try to look for your original ROM:
What was the ROM language - english, arabic...
Was the arabic enabled - i.e. could you write in arabic without added software?
Is there any brand name on your Elf (on the surface of the phone - I have Orange logo there so maybe you have some lead too)

i know im stubet to do that :|
yah thats right how can i make becouse i found WWE original
and shipped chiness one

If you get a polaris and want to flash the HTC WWE rom you would need to use olipro's hard-spl first.

S: Original HTC Polaris ROM German

I'm searching for the original german ROM for Polaris. In the ROM Section there is only O2 Version of it.

I am searching for it too...

i dumped mine. but i did not yet reflash it. i can upload it if you want to test it. but at your own risk.
ID: POLA100
ROM: 1.25.407.1 GER (12/17/07)
RADIO: 1.58.21.23
PROTO: 25.65.30.04H
SPL: 1.25.0000
CPLD: 2

Ok, pls upload, this is my last try.

http://rapidshare.com/files/102226089/RUU_signed.7z
it is the dumped OS, maybe its ok for all.

@ daze81
And, have you tried the image? Does it work?

had to search the tools for updating the rom with your version (after i tried the wm6.1 version
i let you know next days ...
thanks
cu camel

thanks would like to know if it works

Well, if the SPL isnt included, you basically can't brick your device (I might be mistaken about that though ). Youll always be able to fall back to the bootloader (multi color screen) and then just reflash a working ROM.

ok, there is no SPL included. i just dumped the original OS and rebuilded it. nothing else.

I guess I gonna give it a quick shot before I flash the next bepe... unless somebody else is first and confirms your working backup before I get the chance to do so.

Did anybody try?
Hi to all!
Did anybody try the original german Polaris dump (http://rapidshare.com/files/102226089/RUU_signed.7z)?
Or does anybody have a working original german ROM?
I don't want to flash another ROM before I don't have a working "backup" for warranty issues.

the user hyson told me that this rom seems to work. i did not test it for myself yet.
you'll need hard-spl and a custom ruu to flash it. then you can go back to original spl.

Thanks for the information! Let's trust Hyson
@ Schaggo: sorry for full quote, but I have to say thanks for both information....

I got fed up with those cooked ROMs. I'm downloading and flashing the dazes dump (thanks bro!) right now. I'll report how dead my orbit is afterwards...
<edit hmm... yeah, it's looking good. Its booting, definitively German and everything seems in order... />

The ROM looks good ... seems to indeed be the orig. German ROM.
But what Radio ROM did Daze81's Polaris have ?
Since I may have to return my Polaris to HTC for repair, I want to make sure it's the way it was before I used some cooked ROMs. (And I can't remember what Radio ROM it had ).
Cheers,
Andreas

It has no Radio included. And if you want to go for warranty, you can reflash Radio 1.58.21.23 which was the original Radio.
You'll find it in the original German orbit 2 ROM thread which is linked in my signature. I provided the Radio as well in the other thread...

Schaggo,
thanks for the info and the link !
Cheers,
Andreas

dumped german rom
excuse me, how do i flash the xxxxx.7z file?? must I unzip it in any way??
thank you for answering

www.7zip.org is the tool of your choice. use the file inside this archive with Custom_RUU for example.

HTC Hd2 from HK

Good morning,
I'm here in HK for a long period and I'd like to buy a HTC HD2 here that is cheaper than in Italy.
My only concern is that if I can flash it without problem in order to use a new cooked ROM in italian .
What does it mean WWE ? I read WWE in some ROM but I don't known what it means
Thanks

Hi friend, WWE stands for world wide English....I also bought my HD2 from Hongkong, and the original ROM installed is also the WWE version, means everything is in English, not in Hongkong's native language...Flashing to another ROM is not a problem, just make sure you follow the procedure correctly (HSPL, etc..etc...)

Thanks...but can you tell me about correct procedure to flash ? I want to avoid any kind of serious problem

all in the stickies at the top of this forum, with videos

OK thanks...but the right steps are : flash with new spl or hpsl and then fals new rom (if I want to use Artemis rom wich SPL/HSPL flash have I to use ?
Thanks

Soon, I would be in Uk too. Which is the carrier who offers the mobile at a lower price -and which is the lower price-??Many thanks!!
