Hi everybody,
Waiting the Hard SPL for the HD2, I just thinking about a simple idea, is that possible to sign a rom like htc made, in order to find a way to flash our beloved device in different languages ?
For example if I take an FRA rom is that possible to change the region code to NLD (very easy with a hex editor) and resign the rom, to make think to the phone the rom is NLD and flash to have all the phone in french ?
In advance thanks for your responses,
A big thanks to all who participes to XDA live !
I think this has being tried before in another thread and basically it did not work.
Ok thanks for the response

A new test ROM for the HTC Artemis is available on xda-developers!
ROM Version: 1.12.405.1 WWE (World Wide English)
Radio Version: P4.1.13.28_02.67.9
Bootloader: 1.12.0000
CID: HTC__001
You can find the ROM upgrade on the "Shipped Complete ROM" section of the Artemis wiki page or in xda-developers ftp:
ART_HTCWWE_11240501_026790_WWE_Test.exe
I don't own an Artemis and can't test it so I don't know what's on this ROM and what's different from the previous one, if you try it please post details about it.
Enjoy!
Hi thanks for the ROM. It's good to see support even before the device is released! (at least in my country..)
It's gonna be released as the Dopod P800W here, and I was wondering if I can use this ROM *in case* the Dopod one isn't as good.
Havent tried with hacked ROMs before (didnt have appropriate device) that's why I'm asking.
Thanks.
Thanks for the ROM.
I tried to update it but i get "INVALID MODEL ID".
Is there a hacked ROMUpdateutility.exe already out?
I tried to update with the hacked one from the HTC Prophet but it always tells my File not found but the filename is the same so i think HTC did a good job here to prevent it.
Any ideas?
i already have that version in my artemis from the begining
your device seems to flashed with pre-production bootloader. I sorry to say that, but you need to upgrade your bootloader first. Otherwise you would not be able to flash new firmware to your device.

Whats really mean test rom? Only a non certified rom, or it introduce something other to test the unity stability and then make a log o something similar?
Thanks in advance for the reply.

The only one reason why I reflash my device was that originally it was with the French ROM, so it was unappropriated for me.
So now I have this "Test WWE" ROM on my device and did not notice any difference with "certified French" ROM. Only one thing, when you soft-resetting the device, it will show screen says "TEST UI..... blah-blah-blah".
Is there a problem with the ftp? Or howcome I can not download the file?
I just bought a french version. Now I would like to set it up in english as far as possible. Any ideas what I need to do, and how I get hold of the correct ROMs?
I can download it... check that no firewall is blocking you.
Thanks, problem solved. downloading the art_tmuk. This is the a released full version for the UK? I have got a french version on mine today.
Do I just have run the .exe file or do I need to do something more?

As an accident, my new ELF ( or named HTC Touch in HongKong ) became brick....
Now it doesn't work anymore just can enter Tri-color mode, what i can do is to find a rom. unfortunatly, there's still no CHT ( traditional chinese) rom, all that i've found is an english rom, which won't be flashed to my HTC Touch (CID: Dopas001).
i work on the english rom for 3 days, want to find a way to build a rom for my phone. luckily i found here and found a great tool : HTC Rom Tool.
it work well on extracting, but can't rebuild back to NBH (which doesn't work with RUU), but i found ELF in device menu in the software, so i belive dark simpson had test the software on ELF, i just don't understand why the built NBH file can't work with ELF RUU....
Or, is there someone be so kind to tell me how to modify the CID in NBH file with Hex Editor? I try to do that ( replace "Dopod001" to "Dopas001" in 8 places), it doesn't work at all! i also belive there's no reason be so easy to modify NBH file.
wish you can understand my poor english, and wait for help, thanks a lot!

Hi all,
I am SO eager to buy an O2 XDA Orbit 2 from Germany but I am kinda a bit too uneasy...
I will need to re-flash an English ROM to it. Either O2 UK's or HTC Touch Cruise's.
Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?
And are these English ROMs available on the net yet?
Thanks a whole lot to all the gurus here in advance!

Sorry, there is too much said in that thread, I don't think I'll find the answer to this one:
"Does anyone know for sure that it can be done by simply re-flashing the ROM? No extra hacks needed?"
I mean that I used to re-flash ROM upgrades to my Atom Life "just like that".
What if this ROM doesn't accept the Device ID of the German Orbit 2?
A number of users have flashed this rom on orbit II after hard spl and seems to be working fine. but i suggest you spend a couple of minutes going over the thread in any case. it's always useful.
do hardspl from olipro the geatest.
flash ROM
UR now fully WWE
PS: backup UR cab files from original rom first (operator settings....) they are in \windows\ - Polaris doesnt have extRom.
Apparently it seems that you will have to hard SPL to flash. But is is quite simple, so don't worry ;-)

Don't worry, mate, I did just that two days ago. I had bought an XDA Orbit2 from O2 Germany and I hated the German ROM (actually I hate localized software even though English is not my mother tongue).
So what you do is really simple and there is no chance anything to go wrong:
1) Install HardSPL from olipro (you can find it in this forum somewhere)
2) Install the official (not the dumped one) WWE (World Wide English) ROM from this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=368123
And that's it! Enjoy a "native" interface!
Later on you will be able to upgrade to any ROM by simply installing it over the previous one. The HardSPL step you do only once
O2 XDA Orbit II : cannot overwrite WWE on German, wrong vendor ID
Hi ingenious,
I need to use my XDA device in English as my German is too poor to be able to use German softwares.
I've tried steps you have described but still I am unable to write Polaris WWE on my O2 XDA Orbit II device. Can you help me?
Please give me your number at [email protected] so I could call you back for step by step guidance.
Where do you live in Saarbrücken? I've also studied in Uni SB 2002-2005 and now I live in Berlin.
I have all the files download from this forum, whoever has said something about download .
Also I have "Hard-SPL" , "Hard-SPL-V7" and "RUU_Polaris_HTC_WWE_1.25.405.1_radio_sign_25.65.30.04_1.58.21.23_Ship.exe".
What else do I need?

I'm currently in the process of Dumping (turned out to be a piece of cake ^^), but the rom size is over 200mb, so it will take a while to upload on my ****ty Telenor 4000/400 connection (you other norwegians know what i mean)
Will post a link to it as soon as it's done. Depending on the time it takes it may not be until tomorrow morning. (i'll upload it during the night)

Hmmm... when I'm trying to sync using ActiveSync (against our Exchange server) I get the errormessage: Not enough memory with Errorcode: 0x8007000E... And this is right after flashing my Polaris. I have 58 MB free for programs, so that shouldn't be the problem.

Hi all,
Im back after a very long time because.
I buyed after a very long time a htc touch hd...
well its not new, the guy were i buyed from used it for 1week and didn't liked the touchscreen. He told me he received it as a present for xmas and stuff like that.
Now is my Question: i want to flash my rom because its WM 6.1 and i heared alot of great things about WM 6.5 is that trough ?
Also if i flash my HTC TOUCH HD, will my simlock dissapear or something ?
Cause on my last phones it was, i flashed it and i needed to unlock it again and more headache.
Is it normal that the simlock will reactivate if its flashed to WM6.5 ??
If the htc still unlocked.
Which ROM you all will advice me ? i really prefer Dutch roms, but english roms are also oke.
and also tell me why, so i can get all the benefits of it
Im not a beginner in flashing of phones but flashing of HTC's i am.
I only did it once as far as i can remember and that was on a P3300 a very old model, So if there is also a little manual i will be very thankfull.
Thank you all,

Hi biggie89,
Yes, the good news is that there have been many advancements and improvements to the Windows Mobile OS in version 6.5, such as having a more finger friendly User Interface - providing you with a much neater and tidy user experience. Speed varies depending on which 6.5/6.5.x ROM you choose to install and you will be glad to know that both Dutch and English ROMs are available for download
The bad news is that if you flash your HD in it's current state (simlocked), then I am afraid that this is unlikely to work until you get your SIM unlocked as the simlock is controlled by the baseband. Data is stored there too and flashing the radio or ROM will not have any effect on the simlock. Therefore, I would advise you to have it unlocked before you begin the flashing process.
Here is a guide that you can read to make you more aware of how to flash a Touch HD ROM. Essentially, what you must do first is unlock your phone using either Hard-SPL or USPL.
You can also see this link as it details what the latest ROM builds offer in terms of stability and performance.
I think it would be a little unfair to say which ROM is best especiallly for the people who create these custom ROMs. Each ROM is different in their own little way i.e. one ROM might be fast but a little unstable, another may be stable but a little slow, etc... The best thing you can do is try out different ROMs (Dutch or English versions) yourself and try to discover which one meets your needs.
Note: when you get to the stage of downloading a ROM, to find a Dutch based ROM, simply look at the headings of the ROMs listed from this link. Dutch ROMs include the abbreviation NLD in their title [NLD = Netherlands], and English ROMs have WWE in the title [WWE = World Wide English].
I hope this helps you out.
Regards.
Mastoid is correct. Flashing to a new rom, even if you use hspl, will unfortunately not unlock the sim.
There are tools that can do that, but it is not free. You can try this one which seems to be popular and effective.
Hi all and thanks for your reply on my message..
My htc HD works now with my vodafone NL simcard so its not simlocked or something i think i wrote my question wrong..
Im scared if i FLash my rom that the unlocking of my device comes back, So i can't use my vodafone NL simcard with it.
Is that possible ??
the current state is unlocked or locked with vodafone i dont know for sure but you guys tell me that if i FLASH my rom now i still can use my vodafone NL simcard ???
if that is the way i will flash my rom in to a nice ROM that u guys told me to do..
the thing what i want to is..
USE my vodafone NL simcard with my htc touch HD like now but with a different ROM.
my htc touch HD is working great with WM 6.1 with a vodafone NL simcard.
so im still confused with the simcard if it will work.
do you guys think that it will work with WM6.5 ??

Flashing a rom does not affect the status of the simcard so it will still work. Just follow the Dummies Guide (link by Mastoid above) and you'll be fine
