Confused, T-Mobile UK - HTC HD2 - advice choosing a ROM Required please - HD2 General

Hi Guys,
Got a new htc hd2 from tmobile in the uk, got last years september rom on it and found that it had an old rom on it, needs upgrading and wanting to put a updated rom, but wanted a rom that had all the bells and whistles,
currently it keeps freezin when sending txts an randomly crashes, had a couple of them, an thought it was phone til i realised all software related an needs seriously updating, but thought would go the whole hog then not do it for a while lol
Never done this before and a bit of a noob, have been reading through the stickys, but still abit unsure
Wasnt sure wether i would be able to put windows 7 or android on it, so if need be will stick to just winmo 6.5 but wanted a rom that gave me some decent apps with it, like those power/cooked roms, but didnt know what to go for, what would be best
never installed apps before, apart from through windows marketplace,
So hints tips an a great step by step noobie guide would be great,
Cheers for reading
Shazarda

Rom!! ???
I'm not being rude, but you really need to search forum. There are lots of threads about just what you are needing. WM7 is not available,android,they are working on, no idea when. Give search a try. lots of info,,,,

I did search the forums, i have been searching, hence how i obtained the info,
i know there are a lot of different cooked roms, but nothing that can help me differentiate which to choose from,
tbh ALL I want on the rom is probably like an e-reader and a torch, anything else is a bonus lol,
but i cant seem to locate something that says this is the one that wont cause me any issues, i am tempted just to grab the stock rom off htc, as that should resolve most of the issues with the phone

thats probably your best bet until you are more comfortable with flashing.
Grab the 1.72 and go with customising that.

It will connect to usb while the phone is running, but as soon as it drops to bootloader the usb connection will not get passed back to xp.
you will not get hspl to work in a virtual environment or bootcamp. (or so i hear, i dont have a mac, i just read a lot )
You 'may' get flashing to work from bootcamp, but deff not hspl.
You will need to use a windows machine to instal hspl.

I resisted using a non "stock" ROM for a while, but I eventually got fed up with even the latest version that was released for O2 (1.72).
Yesterday I installed the Atermis v14 ROM, which I have to say stands head and shoulders above the standard release ROMs.
I chose it for two reasons, after looking on the "HTC_Leo/ROMs" page on the wiki attached to the site. First was that it was described as "Combines the latest WM 6.5.5 version with latest Manila 2.5.2012 (Leo 2.11) for HD2.This ROM Family is stable , fast and very close to stock ROM "Philosophy"." Second because it was first on the list
I found it really easy to install, using SSPL; you just put the downloaded ROM image and SSPL exe into a folder, connect your phone via USB with ActiveSync of Device Centre, and run the exe on your PC. There are pretty simple step by step instructions on both the SSPL and Atermis pages.
After installing Atermis I also installed S2U2 via a cab file, which gives me a different un/lock screen; again there's easy instructions, though you do have to play around with the S2U2 config app to get the behaviour as you might want (e.g. background image, time format, caller display). All straight forward though as you install the cab, then it's available via the start menu/app list. I like it because it's more responsive on wake up and allows direct access to messages, etc on unlock.
Unfortunately it seems all the ROM flashing apps are windows based (it's a windows phone after all...), so I doubt you'd have fun trying to flash a ROM with a mac. Probably simpler all round to borrow a friends PC for 10 mins!
If you are going to flash a new rom though, it's definitely worth backing up your contacts and messages, etc. Microsoft myPhone works for me, and comes pre-installed.

Try to remove SD from your device b4 do the flashing.
Thats right SD card should be removed before flash (device may not go into "USB" mode when "cradled")
However I have made PICTURES and added them to the wiki (they are quite big and it doesnt look very well) but will improve it later

Trying to get wm 6.5 to flash onto my siemens sx66

Hy all. I have a Siemens SX66 phone and currently have WM 6.1 flashed onto it. I've tried to flash WM 6.5 onto it and keep getting an error saying that it can't detect my device, even though it's definitely connected and synced with my PC. The versions I've tried to flash onto my phone are the standard and premium versions of the ROM. Does this ROM not flash onto the SX66, and if it does, what is it that I'm doing wrong for it to not see my device? Any help would be greatly appreciated!
if you run Windows Vista or above, pls refer to Wiki for the correct driver.
If you are running XP, you must kill ActiveSync (go to task manager and kill wescommgr.exe and rapimgr.exe). Also, make sure that your device is in bootloader prior to cradling the device.
On a side note, please do not open multiple threads with the same question on it. In fact, please search for an answer (either google, wiki, or xda's search engine) prior to starting a new thread. Thanks.

egzthunder1,
I am indeed running Windows XP. In following your directions, Activesync kept popping up automatically whenever I plugged the phone into the cradle. I would kill the 2 exe files you mentioned in the task manager, but they would just pop back up, so I went a step further and uninstalled activesync completely. I then plugged the phone into the cradle, ran "BaUpgradeUt" from the WM 6.5 package (the download is "Windows Mobile6.5Professional(QVGA)v7.9.25_HTCBA ROM"), and I STILL keep getting the same error message when I run the progrm, which is "Error 103: ROM Image File Not Found". I currently have the WM 6.1 ROM installed on the phone if that makes any difference. Any help to figure this problem out would be greatly appreciated.
you get that error, because you shouldn't use baupgrade, but MAupgradeut_noID.exe first of all. make sure the folder containing those two mentioned files also contains a "nk.nbf" file, because that is the rom

Chef_Tony is right on the money. The noID version was developed for this same exact reason. Also, you are correct about ActiveSync as it does pop up again, but if the device is cradled in bootloader mode, the PC will only recognize the device as an USB device rather than a pda. Therefore, AS will not sync with it and it will just be opened in the background.
I believe that there is an app called KillActiveSync somewhere in the Dev & Hacking section, which truly kills AS and prevents it from running. You could search for it if you need it, but it seems that your main problem was that you were in fact using the wrong RUU. Anyway, good luck, mate!

My friend, all I see is 2 things. #1, you are not placing your phone on Bootloader. That is why Active Sync is popping up. #2, after you uninstalled Active Sync, the upgrade utility cannot see the phone. Thats why you get the error. Install Active sync 4.5 again. Make sure you place your phone in bootloader, and follow the steps here
Good Luck.

JustStable is a ROM. That's an equivalent to an Operating System on your computer.
Metaphor: Sure, you can run Linux off of a CD Drive, but Windows, no way!
Your SD card in your phone is similar to a CD drive. So, NO, you cannot install an operating system (ROM) onto your phone's SD card.
And one more thing...Flashing a ROM (installing it) isn't nearly as simple as installing a program. Just like how upgrading your Operating System on your PC compared to installing a program on it.
If you wanna upgrade and flash to JustStable, tell us, and we've got some guides that you can follow.

First thing you do is go to: www.thewingster.com
Then you go to the ROM's section. Pick your ROM. Do NOT pick a ROM that says, LZX. Once you found a ROM you like, locate the How To Flash this ROM link on the ROM's page. Follow the instructions.
As it says, first, you download and extract your ROM. So, you return to your ROM's page and click DOWNLOAD. Then you unzip or unrar it. You might need 7zip for that.
Then follow the rest of the instructions. Got it?

It should just fine. Let it stay connected for a while, it has to download the Windows Mobile Device Center, so that takes some time.
If you're on 64-bit, it still should work, but I've heard some problems with that.
make sure the device has been hard spl'd. or use uspl to flash.

[Q] Need Help Upgrade Rom

Hi to all.
I need a help from you.
I have my HTC Shift and I need to make it works as phone and Gps.
I made an upgrade of S.O. from VISTA to Windows 7 Starter Edition
question are:
1. Can I upgrade a Rom Cooked with phone and Gps on it also now that I made first upgrade to Windows 7 Or I must get it back to Windows Vista to do this.
2. I'm Italian, can I wait for any Italian version Rom or it's just the same
3. I liberated my HTC (Modaco...) but when I use the usbtool I cannot attach to Vista, this is because I put first Windows 7?
4. Which is more suitable for me which ROM COOKED you suggest me to flash and for flash I must use utility downloaded from HTC : htcflash.exe ?
5. What is HardSPL, Do I need this for flashing a cooked rom?
Many many thanks for any possible answer to me.
I need to use it as a navigator with Garmin so I need to have GPS works and Phone also.

Hi sullivan2002!
Just trying to answer you questions as good as I can.
1. I guess so (I use XP), but you have to make sure by reading the appropriate threads. I think you have to leave the wifi and BT connections ON before abandoning Vista, but I also recall that there is a workaround that in case you did not do it.
2. It is up to you, but I think that if there is no Italian ROM version by now there are very little chances to have any from now on. There is no further development on this forum, the developers are just not interested in Shift any more. But I think that there is the original Italian ROM somewhere here, if that's enough for you.
3. I think so, but I have no experience with Win7. Did you install the Shift Control Center in Win7?
4. I use i00 which keeps the appearance of the initial HTC snapview screen and also is using reduced resources. But you might want to try several ROMs, once HardSPL is it fairly easy to replace the ROMs. I also enjoyed Thaihugo's Shift custom ROM "age of reason" and "age of beauty", which are very good. But there are also other very good ROMs that I didn't try. Anyway, look for the appropriate radio rom to match the selected coocked rom.
- Are you aware that there is no solution to use the phone with the headphones, but only with the speaker?
- Are you also aware that you can use the GPS only in a mixed way, the GPS module from the WinMobile side with the programs and maps installed on the Win7 side? This is because there is no access from the WinMobile side to the SD card to host the maps.
- Are you aware that there is no access from the WinMobile side to wifi or BT?
5. Definitely you have to use HardSPL. I did it before leaving Vista, but I am not sure it is compulsory to do it under Vista. But you have to do it, otherwise there are very good chances to brick the Shift.
Here are some hints, but you'll have to do some good reading on this forum:
How to flash ROM
(=copy/paste selections from this forum, not my merit)
"First of all you have to:
• liberate the Shift
• HardSPL the system.
Once you HardSPL this, then you have to
• download CustomRUU (CustomRUU.exe utility) from this Shift forum.
• Run CustomRUU as admin on Vista to load nbh file.
Make sure this RUU_Signed.nbh is in the same folder where CustomRUU.exe.
For beginers: first install HardSPL (read forum for the proper link) then the radio, then the rom.
To install radio or rom, use the main program and run as administrator
- for radio, it is "romupdateutility.exe"
- for rom, it's customruu.exe
The 1.58 radio was the original radio for the european shifts. It will make a hissing sound problem on a rom that was made for the 1.27 radios. "
Please do the appropriate readings of the forum, your Shift is at stake here.
Good luck!
thanks for answering
Hi
first of all thanks for answering me.
I would like to ask you
You said
Are you aware that there is no solution to use the phone with the headphones, but only with the speaker?
but ONLY PHONE or also Music, MP3, Films... Cause I would like to bring with me in my car and sometimes use the JACK PLUG to use with my car amplifier in order to hear music mp3... from that.
For me is just enough to install GARMIN or iGO 8 on windows 7 and run them. So maps are on hd. But I Can't understand why if I unlock Snapview... and I make work SD, I Can't use SD for putting maps and make Windows Mobile recognize it.
I understood I have to go back to VISTA and to to all I made for unlocking and after to reinstall Windows 7 starter edition (is more light and fast and I can sell it, htc better when I will not use it more in the future...)
for HardSPL sincerly I didn't understand how to use it. I thought after unlock (modaco... usbtool...) I could put exe file from htc to flash rom and use cooked rom i00 instead of htc new firmware but maybe I have to do somthing with HardSPL.
As I understood from you I can use Winmobile only for sms email and phone (if will works) and all things do better from Windows side.... gps....maps... music.... films...
Ok thanks dear friend. I see you are in Bucharest. I went in Bucharest some years ago. Am fost la Bucuresti in trecut si am vezut tot tara ta.

Only phone, there were long debates and high hopes on the forum a few years ago in the time of the Shift Project.
About Music, MP3, Films... I never tried them on the wm side, I guess there is no problem with using the headphones or an external amplifier. BUT there is a reason stopping you to use large files because the SD card does not work on wm side, therefore you cannot access your files.

The HTC Shift is an unfinished HTC job/crippled product on the winmob side, so it doesn't work with wifi, BT or SD card, only with the 3G modem. You can also sync wm via internal usb with the w7 side.
USB and Ethernet are accessible from outside only to the w7 part and not at all to the wm part.

Not necessarily, maybe you are lucky. Try first (re)installing the Shift Control Center (shagctrl) on the W7 part. Then start it from top-right button and see if you have access to wifi, BT, 3G, etc.

You have to HardSPL first before using a coocked rom, otherwise you will brick your Shift wm. You cannot just drop a new rom, you have to enter the bootloader mode first with HardSPL.
With "modaco" you are just liberating your Shift, i.e. unblocking the SnapVue and turning it into the true Windows Mobile 6.0 to allow cab installs. It was said that HTC has chosen this solution (SnapView) to avoid paying the WM license, but I would say also to hide the crippled functionality of the hardware. Be aware of the licence issue if you open the Windows Mobile 6.0, please do some more reading.
If you decide to go for a coocked rom, you have to enter and prepare the bootloader mode, which is initiated with ecshift.exe from W7 without WM running at all. I don't remember exactly from one year ago, but I think that hard-resetting the winmob side and reconnecting the two operating systems via usb are necessary steps preceeding HardSPL. SPL probably stands for "System Program Loader". To HardSPL you have to install the EnableRapi.cab file on winmob side and run ShiftHardSPLFinal.exe on Vista side, which will put the special Romupdateutility (RUU). To flash ROMs after you installed HardSPL you can use the original RUU or CustomRUU.
It is difficult to explain in further details, I am not an expert, but look on this forum for the thread called "Step by step guide to liberate > hard spl > flash Rom" and follow carefully all the instructions there. You have to do a lot of reading, pay good attention to the instructions and hints given by the seniors on this forum. If you have no experience then this is no half an hour job, including the readings you have to spent many hours for being successful in using a coocked rom. But it pays off.

Yes, but for GPS you have to go in a mixed way because of the reduced RAM of wm and of the SD card issues: use the built-in GPS antenna and receiver in the winmob side and install the program and the maps on W7 side; the two sides communicate through the internal usb bus, you have to trigger this connection with USB Tool. Similar for synchronizing the two parts.
GPS is working only with some coocked roms.

Nice to hear that, you are doing excellent in Romanian, congratulations. I hope that you enjoyed the country and the people. Was it as tourist or was it for business?
All the best!
HI my friend
At first for Tourist 1998.. and then business but only for 1 year.
I enjoyed always I came in your country, Romania is a very green and has a beautiful nature and countryside and people were more friendly than here in Italy. But for people, italian people is hard to understand this, due of bad facts and news from some who did mistakes here (more are zigans here who make troubles and they are similated to romanian). Of course here there are a lot of romanians and no all could have a suitable job cause also for crisis that hit our country. I went last year in Cluj for a week and also I took a car a white Dacia like the police car and I made about 1000km to go to Timisoara and return to cluj cause I pay about nothing for airplane.
You said:

I can see shift Control Center (shagctrl) from Windows 7 side but what I can do? Why I'm lucky if I could see Shagctrl open? I can't still open SD card from WM also when I click on USBTOOL... Maybe I need to do this in order to put here in my SD, HardSpl, and New i00 rom to be cooked or no? is another way to flash it? Can I connect via Activesync and do that?
Ok I will look on the forum Step by step guide to liberate and try to do it today, but first I have to put on my WM a software called pimbackup.... and SMSexport in order to backup all my sms calls...
Thank
Sullivan

Hi Sullivan!
Nice to hear about your travels in Romania. Yes, the lanscape in beautiful and most of the people are very friendly. There are good Romanians and bad Romanians, just like worldwide there are good people and bad people.
But not many of the other people make the distinction or are willing to make it.
This is part of the show of this world......

No, you are lucky if, by opening the ShagControl, you can then activate wifi and BT. If not, try reinstalling the ShagControl, it shouldn't take long. If not, you have to look here on the forum for a work-around before going back to Vista.
Btw, did you erase completely the Vista recovery partition or is it still there and you can put Vista back in 10 minutes with the F3 thing?
If you have no other choice then going back to Vista, I suggest to make a back-up image of the W7 OS that you can restore later, it will save you a lot of time.
Regarding the W7 correct installation, I suggest to read the posts of RSargeant, they are very good and he speaks also about the communication part, if I recall correctly.

That's correct. You did not get my message: you cannot open the SD card from the WinMob at all. Not even with a coocked rom.
This is a still open challenge on this forum. It appears theoretically possible, but nobody managed to do it, it is about both hardware and software (drivers and not only) changes.

Hi my friend.
Ok yesterday I made some changes to my HTC SHIFT X9500
I put hardspl, it was not so easy cause I made it 3 times, always system said me something like: I cannot open port.... and didn't want to start but at the end after 2 times and after I reset my device...it did fortunately.
I could put a cooked rom: i00
sincerly I'm not so satisfied 100% cause resolution...and other things but sure better from the previous
I wanted to put the 6.5 Rome for htc shift from CLIO 28/3/2010 but I cant download it:
http://romeos.monx.biz/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=56&Itemid=93
it's very nice but nothing to do, link is out, maybe I have to pay something to the author to download it.
Now I have inside i00 ROM Cooked but If I want to put another ROM Cooked or the original Italian Rom I have to put again HARDSPL or not? I used one time hardspl is it enough?
AFTER I upgrade Windows Visto to Windows 7 Starter Edition
I would like to ask you this:
After I upgrade to Windows 7 and I go to WM side, I cannot Attach it !!!
Attach to Vista and when I go to Windows 7 side I cannot see Pocket PC
How I can do? Is it possible or I have to remain with Vista? Oh Damn !
MY objective is to put GARMIN PC to my HTC SHIFT and use it as navigation and Mp3 device connected to my Car Radio Amplifier.

Yes, once is enough, but only until loading again an original rom (I think)! May be we get also someone else on this forum to confirm it (that after loading the original rom is necessary to HardSPL again).

Hey, you're not stuck with Vista. Did you follow the recommended threads to install Win7? Watch carefully the drivers. Ah, I think you have to do the installation of Win7 in Vista compatibility mode and as administrator. Can't tell you more, I use XP, remember?

You'll manage that, cannot be that difficult! Once the usb connection done, there should be no further problem.
Good luck!
ok
thanks
I understood about hardspl, I think so to put again if I want to put an original rom and after a cooked one.
For the rest. Now All is ok, also USBTOOL.. works I installed GPSBLUE... and GPSGATE in WM side and W7 side. In WM side I output on Activesync and in W7 side Input on Activesync.. but GARMIN Doesn't reconize GPS.
Ok about the drivers for W7, all went well about installing in Vista Compatibility mode and Administrator mode.
I have installed GARMIN 5...XXX.30 and can see only Bluetooth GPS or USB GPS, I think I must download somewhere a version like 5....xxx.70, I heard somewhere that was written that only this version can reconize GPS from Activesync or TCP/IP

Hi Sullivan2002,
After checking with someone I know, on his HTC Shift there is the following software installed:
- On the WinMob side - PPC GPS Router 2.0.0.0 (HTC 2005) to enable the GPS port and HTC GPS Tool v1.2.1.26 to do the reception.
- On the W7 side there are Franson GPS Gate 2.6, Garmin Mobile PC v 5.00.70g and GMap Catcher.
Unfortunately I can't tell you more, I'm not using Shift with GPS. Maybe in the future.
Anyway, do a search on this forum, I recall there was a thread on Gramin.
Good luck!
ok thanks a lot
I will try

[Q] Changing the Stock Desire ROM to new one

I have Eu HD2 which has the Stock Desire Rom installed and all is working fine but I would like to install a new ROM like one of the many that use Sense 3.0 or android 2.3.5. I would also like to have my SD card partitioned so I actually have space to install apps on my phone
How do I go about doing this?
PS- Sorry for the super Noob question :-/
PPS - the ROM I had in mind was

Here.
Thats great cheers! One small problem at the moment is I can't get my phone to sync with my PC now. I can get it to connect and I can view the files on it in Explorer but it won't "sync" - any ideas?
I have Windows 7 64bit
reinstall the drivers for activesync
That instruction about syncing / getting an active sync connection doesn't mean what it appears to mean. It simply means get a USB connection.
Put phone in bootloader, connect to USB, when word. "Serial" becomes "USB", that's an activesync connection and you can flash.
Try this one:
