Hi,
I will get a new XDA terra (HTC P4350) in two weeks with WM6 installed. How is it possible to backup the rom ore to extract the rom for porting it to other devices? Or to give it to our ROM cookers? I searched the wiki and tried the OSimage but it even didn´t work on my wizard.
Any suggestion?
check this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
probably some things change, as instructions are for Hermes.... but the method with itsutils/pdocread should work.

i have lokked everwhere for this so if someone can help with a link or an explaination please help.
I have downloaded the rom. How do i upgrade the rom. Step by step proess please.
Thank you very much in advance.
Step 1: Stop being lazy and do your research.
If you won't find anything, follow the instructions from my Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1187445
aarbiser,
Go the the Wiki page for the Trinity:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...me=HTC_Trinity
Read through this thoroughly before upgrading. The key is to understand how you flash back the ROM you currently have, in case of a problem. Back up everything on your Trinity & storage card before doing anything.
Remember, some of these ROMs don't have all the programs your stock ROM came with. For example, if ROM you flash to doesn't have MSN, which you need, then you'll have to install MSN cab separately, after the ROM flash. Any ROM you flash to is likely to have some issues & no Trinitys have been seen flying or making crop circles after the WM6 upgrade...so be careful with your expectations.
If you aren't sure how to upgrade with these ROMs, wait a litle longer (1-2 months), as HTC will eventually have an upgrade for WM6. The beauty of ROMs on this forum is that they contain many improvements, besides the OS upgrade aspect.
Here's a good step by step site. Its for the Hermes but the idea is almost the same.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php
I don't want to be harsh, nor flame anyone, but if you don't understand how to flash a ROM, you really ought to wait till official versions are released, because Beta WM6 (or any other WM version for that matter) ROM's will require some 'expert' registry or system fiddling at some point, which needs a fairly good basic understanding of the systems.
Stoopid noobie question:
cant find any instructions for the hard SPL. On the hermes instructions it only has 2 files but the trinity one has 6 files...
enter bootloader.exe
rapitool.exe
ROMupdateutility.exe
RUU_signed.nbh
RUUGetInfo.exe and
RUUResource.dll
.. i followed this on the hermes guide website but this step here is different to the trinity........
which to use first? do i use them all before installing the new WM6 ROM?
Do i need to install the new radio version (GSM 1.41.00.11)? Trying to make so if i need to get it fixed under warranty i can just flash back the Aussie 3 ROM and they will be none the wiser....
Can anyone help?
How about someone writing a step by step guide for those of us who are yet to do this..... everyone had a first time....
thanks
Scott
ok. i tried to run the ROM update utility but it wouldnt give me the option to change my SPL to 2.1 olipro..... how do i do this?
Cancelled this before i bricked my trinity......
thanks
ok. now i feel really stooopid.....
after doing the above i checked my bootloader and it is now: IPL-0.50 and SPL-1.07.0000
So, i now have hardspl on my trinity?
so to now install the new rom i just double click on the new rom file?
thanks

hi Cruzz,
cheers for being the only one to respond, i know there are a lot of panda users who are likely to be following this
the problem for me and probably most others is as follows, i can pull the wm5 rom from my argon, but beyond that i am lost, will any wm6 rom work? and what do i need to keep from the wm5 build.
i admit building the rom is beyond my skill, will try but unlike hexediting an app, i make a mistake i brick my device.
will give your advice a try but can you reccomend a base wm6 rom i could use and also what files do i need to keep?
cheers
Chris
Same situation
I am also currently trying to cook a custom ROM for HTC PAND100.
I have an O2 XDA Argon and am trying to get HTC rom onto it.
although this is beyond my skill level also, the tools supplied by the likes of buzz/pof/etc (sorry for the ppl I missed) make this quite easy
Im am very close to cracking it but need a copy of an O2 rom image.
Is there an easy way to extract the ".nb" files from my device? e.g buzz' tool that dumps a ".bin" file or an easier method?
I have a copy of the HTC RUU and extracted ".nb" files if anyone requires this for comparison/wants to swap sum Panda files.
Cheers people.

I know there is not yet such a way to flashing rom till today.
I have trying using both Vox and Excalibur USPL method to flash the rom. But is seems doesn't work.
Does anyone have any input with flash rom with Cavalier???

Breeze and Cavalier have the same chipset (qualcom/samsung chipset which is same as hermes as far as I know), you should try with breeze/hermes tools. Vox and Excalibur have TI Omap chipset and thats why it will not work on Cavalier.
Anyway, if you try breeze/hermes methods do it on your own risk, you could brick your device you know!
Do serch the site as there is somewhere a thread where people had changed radio rom on breeze with pof's patched radio, but I'm not sure that it will work.
Cheers and good luck.
The pass few days I have also try the breeze and Hermes tools. Doesn't work.
In China, there is a guy saying can be unlock his Dopod C730 into supercid with some kind ActivePerl tools in here(Chinese Website)
But also don't work with my X02HT.

Can you translate the procedure and attach tools?
Hi, I dont have my Softbanks TyN Hermes 200 base ROM. I reflashed ones to shaps WM6.0.
It is recomended to flash original ROM before reflashing to one of the latest ROMs.... is there a good generic I could use instead of my original ROM? or should I just flash the new ROM directly?
thanks!
Its usually recommended to flash to original ROM when you flash a hyperstorage ROM, ie. OS and ExtROM merged! If not, just flash them and it should be ok.
What i do is strip out just the OS and ExtROM from the orginal one and make a RUU just by themself. I flash this before i flash the ROM i like. That way, i dont mess with radio, IPL, SPL etc.

When I saw this post I thought exactly about this. Can you please post this "stripped" version of the official ROM, I'm growing tired of reflashing Radio every now and then. BTW, I was trying to do this a few days ago and got more confused than anything, so I just quit.
Thanks in advance,

I dont have a rapidshare or any of the file sharing account and file is about 80MB, so i dont have a good way of uploading the file. Did you try using dutty's tool (can be found in any kitchen) to strip the RUU file and rebuild it again? That's what I did, if that helps.

Excellent, figured it was something like that. Thanks for the tip!
Hello,
I wanted to follow this method, but my original rom (softbank x01ht, wm5), is not available anymore. Can I use another generic rom, and in wm6 version? And using dutty's tool, are the "version" and "language" fieds important, or is it just for the info in the phone (as it will be a transition rom, I really don't care about it, even is it wasn't transition rom by the way)? Sorry for the noob questions, but I'm trying to avoid bricking my phone...

I am not sure about softbank, but if you can install any hermes ROM, then you should be good to go with any official hermes ROM.
I never change the version and language in dutty's tool when i create my own ROM's!
Ok thanks, that's all I needed! I will take the cingular rom as it seems it was the one which gave best results on hard reset issue.

Here you are:

perfect - thanks a lot for your support.
If you want to make it like the Stock XDA Diamond, first you have to flash spl 1.37 back.
regards
Anja31
Thx!
Yeah, thanks man!
you are my hero (4 2day)!!!
Just wondering, is there a "Homezone" app in the Rom...or is there maybe any "Häuschen" in the TouchFlo3d? If there is a cab file it would be really great if you could post it here.
Thanks man!
Thanks, it is nice to have an backup of the Orginal Rom.
Is it possible that you load on Mega?, with Rapid I have problems it said no DL Slot free.

I recommend you use mediafire. Rapidshare is only 50Kb/s for non-premium users...

Yes there is a häuschen alongside the datum and above the uhr. A .cab is difficult since nobody investigated from where the information comes. maybe a system service like on previous models, maybe it's inside manila ...
thanks a lot.
Finally I can try some other roms without losing my guarantee.
A small guide or a link how to undo the HardSPL thing would be nice.
Greetings
iggboert
thanks a lot.
hier ist the guide to downgrade.
if you have unsigned hardspl, you'll need to use the SSPL package (i.e. the same package that is posted in HardSPL thread to flash the hardspl), just replace the NBH file with one of these stock SPLs.
if you have signed hardspl, just go ahead and flash with normal RUU process (no overwrite protection in that one, as it is already only accepting htchackers signed files, there was no need for that).
also,
STEP BY STEP HOW TO RETURN TO STOCK SPL - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
0. be sure to first restore stock OS, and stock radio. stock SPL is always to be done last!!
1. download the stock spl package from post #39 in this thread.
2. download the package from post #2 in http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400950 thread.
3. pick the SPL you want to reflash to (ONLY FOR WARRANTY REASONS), it's a .NBH file, replace the original .NBH in the package from post #2 with this SPL NBH.
4. run the RUU (or if needed, run SSPL-Manual.exe manually, then run RUU when it goes to black screen), it goes to 100%, reboots, done.
+5. to verify, volume down + reset, see version number on tricolour screen.

thx for the guide
is there a way to get the blue tf3d theme without reflashing my diamond? a solution like just replacing of the manlia.exe or something?
or can anyone upload me a copy of the manila.exe from the O²-Rom so i can try it myself?

Hallo!
I bought a 02 XDA diamond. But it is in German (windows 6.1). I would like to change the language from German to English. Does anyone can help me how to do this.
I have no idea what is ROM and so on. I am completely new to this process. Shall I have step by step instructions please?
Thank you in advance!
Greetings!
Sony
whats the deal-will we be getting a WWE O2 ROM anytime soon? I love the blue tf3d
anyone has any luck with a separate cab created for this ?
can anyone sign this for me to use?
anyone ????
First of all I want to thank the guys posting the "reflash" Instructions again and again, so I finally found them too. Since Im trying out a lot with my Diamond (Not my first WM device, but first with cooked rom) I appreciate it, that it is possible to get back for warranty reasons.
There is just one little thing that I am not sure about yet:
I know:
- instal unsigned Had SPL
- Flash stock Rom (O2 XDA DIAMOND in my case)
- Flash stock SPL (I found he package in the Post mentioned)
I dont know:
- wich of the three versions in that spl-package is the one i need???
I hope so can tell me even though i hopefully never have to try this procedure!
Thanks so far
Hi and thanks for your great work.
My request would be for a stock O2 WWE ROM 1.93 if this is possible?
