For THAT you will need for hard-spl..

Of course if someone hacks SEUS to retrieve old images from the updateservice, then i gues you could downgrade..

Downgrade works
It did work for me. I installed the UK MR2 (waiting for the Spanish version) and later downgraded to MR1.

How did you manage to downgrade to MR1? What i understand from SEUS, it always get's the latest version available.. But, if you hack the cab i created (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684323), and create a cab for a language that does not have the upgrade, then that will naturally install the "latest" version (in this case MR1).
But then you have a Spanish version of your phone..

This is just a theory, But if Spain are still waiting for MR2 would it not be possile to use the cabs that hertell has created to set the version you are using and to then upgrade to MR1 Spain BUT install the cabs from MR2 by exiting the customization screen??
Would this not install WinMo 6.5.2 without needing HardSPL

Yes, this would install the spanish version, but then you will have a spanish windows laying under whatever system you have.
BUT.. I noticed that ALL rom-cabs (except about 5 cabs) are the same, so the cabs check from somewhere which language your phone runs, and display from this the proper language.
So, we might have here again a possible way of fooling the installed cabs (applications) to display a different language than the underlying phone in real is running...

Hi, what I did was download the MR1 ROM (any language willddo), extract all the cabs, clear phone mem and just after the screen allignment pres hard reset. After restart it will ask if you want to continiou customization, press NO.
Copy the extracted cabs from the MR1 ROM to your memory card and install every one of them. Some will ask to reboot...press NO.
Agter all the cabs have been installed restart your device, shut down, press volume down and start button, connect to SEUS and tataaaa...your back at MR1 windos 6.5.2.

Javier.

Yes, but which language did you refer to? SEUS updates automatically to the latest rom for that particular language you installed..
And to avoid the hassle of installing all cabs, then check my other thread over here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=684323
All cabs in all languages are exactly the same. It's just about 5 cabs that differ...

You need to download the cabs for your prefered language here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=683619
Then follow the instructions I posted earlier.

Javier

Hi,
You did not tell what language you are using. Did you use an old spanish package to get the old MR1 release??

Hi,
yes, I used the Spanish rom.
Regards.

Mod. edit: not dev related, moved to general

can anybody get old rom image file from C:\Program Files (x86)\Sony Ericsson\Update Service\db\13740270\blob_fs
maybe if this file rename new rom name and replace SEUS downgrade x2

What is the extended rom?

I think I don'd understand what really is the extended rom.... Can you help me?

Search the forum. It has been discussed plenty.
The Extended ROM is a special part of the ROM, that is used of the providers to add their own and additonal files, that have to be installed on the first use of this device. It only have Programs and Reg-Settings in it. Afetr the installtion of this programs, the Memory Part of the extended ROM is useless for the device. You can't access the extended ROM and you can not save data on this memory....
Therefore the bigStorage hack is used to free this memory-part.

Many thanks!
So... I'm Italian and I buoght my Jam with std Italian ROM.
I like to have Engl leanguage on all my devices so I hack the Country ID and I installed the WWE ROM.
It works fine but I lost some of Italian configuration and some applications (e.g. eTrust antivirus)...
I think that these applications are contained on Italian Extended ROM... is it right?
If is it right... can I install the Italian extended ROM in the WWE ROM?
Or... can I extract the eTRust antivirus and install it on my WWE ROM?
Yes, you should be able to install the programs of the italian extended ROM on the WWE ROM. Since most of the tools are os independet it should be no big problem.
The QtekS100_ITA_1.03.151 ExtRom is on the FTP. If your version was newer or anything else, than you have to get the files by yourself.....
Stefan
Great!
I've got i-mate Jam with the last WWE ROM downloaded fron the clubimate site...
I'd like to install the extended rom's app of Jam instead of S100...
Is possible to download the Jam's ext rom? ANy link?
Many thanks guys!

Import Manila to hp 614c??

Good morning guys. I searched it but I didn't find anything. Is it possible to import Manila (tf3d from HTC diamond) in hp 614c? Thank you
manilla 2d is possible if u have a english rom and it works very well for me.
Can you explain how to do it
Sorry for the stupid question but are you talking about the port of the 2D manila interface, running on HTC 3g? If so, please tell me where in the forum can I download the installation files. Are there any specific issues with the ipaq 614.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2277642#post2277642
You can also try this ROM (WM 6.1):
http://rapidshare.com/files/165082651/614_WM6.1_19971.rar this beta but stable.
password: israpda.com
Manila is in there and works very fast and stable. The same for ROM.
ROM has been cooked by Yevg001 from 4pda:
http://66.102.9.104/translate_c?hl=...rt=280&usg=ALkJrhigVfV9tLK4nQjO6pm00-lUGJN42g
To flash the firmware:
1. Unzip archive using provided above password
2. Copy flash.dio to SD card (important!!! it must by SD (<2GB) not SDHC card)
3. Turn the device off (push and hold power button)
4. Insert your SD card
5. With the same time push: record, mute and power button
6. After ~1sec release power button then remaining buttons
7. You will get "SDloader"
8. Do not touch anything until iPAQ boot itself (you can observe progress bar)
You have done...

Have you tried this rom? It has manila cooked in right? I have the auto shutdown problem with my ipaq, is it safe if i install teh power update patch by hp before putting this rom? I guess it's only rom, not a radio update so it won't affect it, but i don't want to brick it after all... Thanks
Axlastro,
Yes I am using this ROM. It is very fast and stable (it has 12MB pagepool).
Yes Manila is cooked in.
If the power update is a just patch for ROM I believe you can install it just after flash, but if I were you I would rather wait and see if the same problem is in the new ROM - if it is then I will make the patch installation.
Yes it is only Operating System (ROM) update.

Which ROM are you useing? I am using HP IPAQ 614c CE English OS 5.2.20757 (Build 20757.1.4.0) OS 5.2.20757 (Build 20757.1.4.0) v 1.5 (yevg001) Having a hard time with BT
Formally this is WM6.1 v1.6. I described it in post #5 (above).
re: bigu1975
Hi there. I installed this rom : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446243 ,but it doesn't have manila cooked in. I will be flashing it again with the rom posted in the site. I noticed that some of the netcf programs won't work - they exit and report error. I'm satisfied with the overall performance of the wm 6.1 rom - it has all the hp goodies and even the camera works better i also notice far better booting times and file system read/write speeds. I do have active sync problems - the device doesn't always connect. So finally my question : Do you have any particular problems like those described by me with the version of the rom you are using.

Hi,
In general I don't have any problems related to programs. Mentioned ROM is clean, stable and it is very fast. It includes the same as HP ROM with new kernel from WM6.1 + Manila and some other useful applications which are tested and they are working fine.
I have noticed only one minor problem related to toggle WiFi using TouchFlo. It can be simple solved by the following method:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2954341&postcount=9
ActiveSync - I noticed similar problems on WM6.1 on different devices. I think it is caused by ActiveSync itself. IMHO the problem is when you connect your device with ActiveSync already running. Then described problem appears. When ActiveSync is not running then it is fine. I hope I solved this problem by adding (in ActiveSync) dummy server and by setting the Sync time to manual. This already described, on this forum, solution protect ActiveSync against automatically start and also helps on syncing issue.
I have used many ROMs for 614C and I think Yevg001's ROM are simply the best. This one is the fastest one I tested. After few days of testing I recommend this one
Regards.
I have few bugs.
When I add MyFaves widget touchflo would not start and
Internet widget is not working for me?
Anyone has the same problem?

MyFaves it is TouchFlo problem. I don't use it
Internet widget doesn't work because there is no Opera browser in this ROM. I think when you install Opera it start to work. On this Manila version the Internet browser link is hardcoded to Opera. As I know in the newest Manila version it is possible to change the link to different browser. At this moment the newest Manila works only on HTC devices - we can't install it on our HP.

New Manila 2D for Iolite WM6.1

Can we install (eg. with a .cab file) the new Manila 2D (see attach picture - Weather/Flipclock) on our orginal WM6.1 ROM ?
Hello Treo, try this thread.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=541750
It will work. However I would recommend you to install first hard SPL and than a new WM 6.5 rom with this theme.......is much more complete, smoother and functional....

i can't change original rom before a year because i could lose italian guarantee...
The thread is verry confusing me and it isn't entirely coordinated on the Iolite.
When I update a non-HTC ROM I will lose the guarantee, So I preffer an installation of Manila with a kind of .cab file.
After you install the HardSPL, you can always restore the original SPL to your device, if you have an issue with it... And then send it back for guarantee...

But how to restore our stock rom ?
You can dump it from your device before you flash a custom rom, and then rebuild a "stock" rom with the dumps with ervius kitchen...
Then if you need to send it back for warranty, you can flash the stock rom, then the stock spl, and you are good to go!
That is IF you can flash back, ie your screen and your usb port are still working...
I have this running and it works fine, the only problem is that the default blue O2 background is still behind the flip clock. Any ideas how this can be fixed???

Extract Ezinput from official ROM

Hi, does anyone know how to extract ezinput from an offcial rom?
I am using 1.48 Asia WWE ROM. There is htc ezinput which supports chinese input.
Is there a method for me to extract ezinput so that i can still use asia WWE version of eziuput on custom ROMs.
(Please don't bother other problems related to language, assuming that i can manage to tweak the custom rom to display chinese characters correctly.)
Thank you.

Yes it can. If you download one of my ROM's in the HD section you will find in the enclosed Extendir folder under Setups some cab files. IME EZinput & WesternEngine. I also have the IME CHS EZInput cab.

I actually have it extracted and make it into a cab (and posted in one of the thread under themes & application) .

apart from building the CAB from the package, did you add in any additional registry/file to make it work? Or did you cook the ROM based on HK ROM using the package? Because I think there's additional file/registry need to be changed in order for the cab to work on a pure WWE ROM.
So far I have spotted 1 reg and 1 file, but I like to hear from you to confirm.
@cshuwing, my bad, I thought you were referring to CHS as you were asking for Asia WWE. I think CHT is only for HK WWE, not ASia WWE, or at least that's my impression thus my jumping conclusion that you are looking for a CHS ezinput.

kind of missing CHS/JPN support now......
also missing Japanese laguage in my HD2 rom
I am living in Japan with my new HD2 wich I bought in the UK during my Christmas holiday in Europe.
I receive some Japanese emails and sms, but can not display the characters on my HD2, and also not reply in Japanese.
Not sure if the HD2 is available with Japanese language, but I hope for some kind of solution in the near future.
I tryed a cab file which I used on my Touch Pro. It enables me to disply Japanese on my HD2, but the on screen keyboard which comes with is not useable without stylus unfortunately.
Any ideas are welcome.

I just did yesterday. Reboot was successful after installing the first cab. Phone turned into a BRICK after rebooting from 2nd cab installation !
Phone hung at the first screen, which displayed the software version info. After about 60-90 secs, an error message was shown stating that "the phone was not able to boot due to software installation of untrusted. Press Volume Up button to reset or any button to cancel the operation. This operation will delete all your personal data, and reset all settings to manufacturer default"
Actually, the above instruction is incorrect. I did not have the HD2 user manual PDF and also am using the HD2 as Internet access gateway for my laptop. Man, was I in dire straits. Called up HTC hotline for help but ended up I had to rush down to a HTC Care Centre this morn.
The HTC Care Centre guy had to re-flash the 1.66 rom back onto my HD2. I did a full restore from my Sprite backup. But now I encountered a problem where my lock screen would not come back on when pressing the Power Up/End button.

Anyone have the "IME CHS EZInput 2.1" file, in cab format or otherwise? I've downloaded a couple of LIA roms, but none of them have it in the Extendir\Setups\EzInput WWE Keyboard directory. Those file sharing services only let you download so much in one day.
This is a link to the Ezinput (actually called "Touch Input") file from the official ROM. It uses simplified Chinese. It has a minor problem, the soft keyboard is squashed when the keyboard is out. However, if the keyboard is out then you don't need the soft keyboard!

Rus ROM for S740

Russian region unlocked ROM by Mantikor.
ROM Download: 4pda.ru/forum/dl/post/568558/Rose_HTC_RUS_1.14.411.1_region_unlock.rar
ATTENTION: This is the first available ROM with unlocked region. This is test version, that is far from being good. It has a lot of bug's and you flash it on your own risk and responsibility.
How to Flash:
1) Do HardSPL kit for ROSE (S740) by jockyw2001 (For this your device must be software unlocked)
Download: http://forum.xda-developers.com/atta...9&d=1269109944
1. connect your ROSE with your PC by USB cable and boot into Windows Mobile
2. wait until ActiveSync is ready (icon green)
3. run "flash-hardspl.bat" to flash the HardSPL. It will create a backup of your
current SPL (called "spl-backup.bin") and creates a file "check.bin" in
subdirector "1" (for diagnostic purposes)
4. the phone will be rebooted automatically
5. you can now flash any cooked or original rom, splash screen or radio rom.
2) Now we can flash our ROM to our device:
1. Un-zip the image file.
2. format your micro SD card to FAT32 mode.
3. Copy image file "ROSEIMG.nbh" to the micro SD card.
4. Turn the device power off and insert micro SD card.
5. Press and hold Volume down + Power button and then release the power button first
to enter Boot loader mode.
6. Wait.
7. When you see such screen press power buton to start Flashing process:
8. When flashing will be finished, you will see screen like this:
8. Now you can reset you devise (plug out you battery for a second and plug it back, than press power button) If everything is fine you will see the download of your new russian rom.
History:
