generic/factory rom for shadow/juno/phoebus? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Greetings
I just purchased a Shadow from T-Mobile and have unlocked it for use with AT&T. I have been hammering away on it to remove anything referencing T-Mobile and have done alright until now as I am hitting files at the root of \windows that can't be edited/deleted as they are ROM protected files.
Is there a generic, factory or any other kind of ROM available for this phone (other than T-Mobile's of course)?
Thanks in advance!

The best way to go about this would be to cook up the ROM using a Kitchen, I have disassembled the newest shadow rom a while ago while looking for goodies, so the tools work with it..

Thank you!
Although I am very technical, I am fairly new to rom modification. Can you outline/point me to some tools that can help me on my way?
Thanks again!

yes, juno / shadow / phoebus HTC original ROM would be much appreciated.
Do they even sell this non-branded yet? If not I guess that's why one hasnt showed up here yet, If they do, what gives?

Custom GPS rom for telus

http://rapidshare.com/files/112775037/CustomTelusGPSRomForTouch.zip.html
As always use at your own risk.
write down your MDN and MSID before you start
Removed:
Relaxed security.
HTC Home , because i dont like , its not very useful and takes too much space and memory.
ArcsoftMMS , because it does not work with telus
Alltel customizations.
HTC Cube , ( Left touchflo intact , just cube part is removed)
Some other stuff that i dont remember.
Added:
Jbed java
Opera mini ( has its own icon, removed security warning you get everytime you connect)
Dotfred's task manager
GPS launcher for those who use TomTom etc.
PDC clock
PHM notepad
Pocket Rar.
addes cabs of telus mobile email, google maps, live search, spb mobile shell to my documants. you can install these if you want.
Mini Howto
step 1 Unlock / install bootloader from
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/ImCoKeMaN/Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe
You must follow onscreen instructions very carefully as its very easy to miss something.
step 2
Install Alltel stock rom
http://216.139.227.226/alltel/RUU_V..._NV2.00_PRL30008_0331_Ship_withSpecialNBH.exe
Boot it up after flashing but do not align screen , if you miss that do not let customizations run.
step 3
Install my custom telus rom from
http://rapidshare.com/files/112775037/CustomTelusGPSRomForTouch.zip.html
If your data is not working
You did not follow instructions in step 2. Please repeat step 2 and step 3
I there anyway you could do up a rom that is identical to the rom released with the telus htc touches now but with the GPS support? Ie... still has HTC Home and the cube etc. I like the rom the way it is I just want the GPS support. I emailed Telus and they wouldnt give me an update on when they are releaseing there rom update.
I believe this rom has gps and rev A.
Another cook, welcome to the club. Good luck man
Thank you.
I am not a professional cook.
I like newest stock base with some programs added or removed. Everybody is cooking with wm6.1 that is designed for other devices. So i had to cook for myself. Whatever i cook, I just post it here so that somebody else with similar taste can use it.
BTW its not my first rom, i had cooked some for Titan, i just bought touch and cloned it with titan.
hey i would love to put this rom on my phone. i have never flashed my phone befor so i will be doing some reading. Any suggested threads for flashing my telus touch. also how do i find out my MDN and MSID? i just want gps why can't telus put out an official update now
Edit:Nevermind i found it. will probably be venturing to flash this tonight or over the weekend
Thank you verry much for this rom a1jatt i flashed it on my phone last night with no problem. theire is one thing i noticed that is a little annoying don't know if it's happening to you but the phone dialer keep popping up at random times when i close other applications. Apart from that so far it's better than the stock telus rom.
i have a question. I wondering if when telus comes out with the official rom upgrade will i be able to upgrade to it with no issues(assuming they are activating gps and have a 3.xx radio version) also will this re-lock my phone.

There is some information on ppcgeeks.com .. you can flash back to .40 spl / unlocker and then flash oem rom, that will overwrite most of the stuff. but right now its advised not to do so but seems like they are working on it.
Even if telus comes with new ROM i think its best to keep it unlocked. I think its safer that way.
thank you for your reply. Could i get the latest version of this rom. i absolutly love it. it works much better than the stock rom
You got a PM.
great thank you again for this rom

1-2 months. That said, GPS is NOT part of that update, nor are they ever going to add it.

Sorry to disappoint you but but judging from the download link ROM version 1.93 is ye olde slow softwear.
2.07 is HTC's newest ROM and there's already a german Vodafone ROM 2.09.
i know its old, but its better than the 1.37 t-mobile were previously using
I get a couple of problems when using other roms as they disable some of t-mobiles features like mobile-tv, youtube and limits the internet sites you can visit.
Im not very good with compiling roms so unless someone can get the t-mobile cabs for that out of this rom and put it in a nice new wm6.5 rom for me, this will have to do

I'm with T-mobile UK using the Diamond with EnergyROM and have no problem with any websites i use, if you want to give some examples I'd like to try it out and see if there is any problem there for me.
As for apps, EnergyROM (standard version which i'm using at least) and I'm sure a number of others have the YouTube app in, not sure what the mobile-tv thing is as I havent had the t-mobile ROM for a long time, I'll take a look and see if I can find it for you.
I can't believe t-mobile have finally upgraded from the ancient 1.37 rom!
1.93 is also old and should have been released last summer - only 1 year late t-mobile.
We moved on along time ago. T-Mobile UK must be the worst operator for releasing updated roms.

You have unticked use proxy server in connection setting haven't you as that causes most problem on t-mobile internet access.
I'm currently using a custom rom and the olipro 1.93 ruu , if i wanted to flash this T-Mobile rom, say for warrany purposes, do i have to flash a signed ruu first?

As far as T-mobile are concerned if you use anything other than the ROM they provide, or updates from their site, your warranty is void.
That being said if you need to send it back to them under warranty one of 2 things is likely, either
A) you'll still be able to get it to bootloader and then put the t-mobile rom back on it, in which case I doubt the returns centre will notice whether i has hardSPL on or not, they're hardly thorough in their testing.
or
B) the phone will be so dead you can't get to the bootloader in which case t-mobile won't be able to either and won't know what you did to it. I have once or twice sent bricked HTC devices back to networks under warranty, they've always just replaced them for me.
Anyway as far as how to flash the T-mobile rom to your device, just use the Custom RUU.exe and the .nbh file from T-Mobile. If you open the executable that you downloaded from T-Mobile with 7Zip (or some other archive manager) you can extract the files from it. I did this with mine last night just to check out the t-mobile rom, then went straight back to a custom rom.

Even a newer firmware? Nice! Checking the diffs now!
Edit: Just 6 Days newer.. SHouldn't be much changed..
To be fair it's probably just the addition of T-Mobile bookmarks, etc but I thought I'd put it up just in case there's a hidden gem.
Hello Sir,
I tried PM but for some reason I could not send it.
I have HTC Hero with dev watermarked software
HBOOT-1.75.2000
Radio 6.35.04.04
I downloaded T-mobile ROM you posted and I am wondering if I can just try to push the system folder to my device directly or there is something else I need to do as well ? Can I get step-by-step instructions please ?
Also if I put this release is there a chance that my device will get locked to T-Mobile network ?
Many thanx in advance
Hi there,
I'm afraid I don't know the answer to your questions. I followed instructions I was given to pull the system folders from the phones. What I posted wasn't actually a ROM that you can flash but rather a dump of the folder that contains the HTC applications, etc. This can then be used by ROM cooks to add the Sense UI to their custom ROMS.
I can't imagine that you'd be able to push the system folder across as the system folder is read-only on non-rooted devices. If you did somehow manage to push it across I doubt it would solve your problem but it also wouldn't lock your phone to T-Mobile, that goes much deeper than the system folder (please correct me if I'm wrong).
Cheers,
Phil

[Ask Your Questions Here] Questions And Answers for Vogue Users

All,
Due to good success in the Blue Angel section, I have decided to open a Questions and Answers thread on this section of the forum as well. This will be good to keep the number of new threads with questions down to a minimum, which will make new threads essentially for people that are contributing to the Vogue in any way. This includes but is not limited to people that are providing
*New Roms and Kitchens
*Programs and Apps
*Fixes
*Skins
*Tips and Tricks
However, I have a life (and so do most of you), which is why I would like to request the help from other Seniors (or anyone who knows the answer really ) to monitor the thread as well. This will have the added side effect of creating an ever self updating knowledge base that will far extend the content of the Wiki. This will in turn save us from having to answer the same question 37000 times...
Without further ado, lets go for it!

GOOD IDEA!
Hi there Gents any input
Barogi awesome so far for v2; media player not staying in full screen mode though, and manila home weather under clock wont update when you push update now also getting error message for manila home on reboot
Great idea for a faq page!
I have been using a NFSfan rom on my bell vogue for a while, and it crapped out today for some reason. Rather than put another WM build on it, I wanted to change to Android.
I have looked through many pages in here, but I can't find a simple tutorial on switch from a custom WM build to a Android build. I prefer to use the NAND method so that I don't ever have to see WM again...
Can someone create or point me towards a step-by-step guide for installing Android? Keep in mind that I have absolutely no Android experience, and that my custom ROM is completely messed up, so would it make for sense to flash the a manf build and upgrade from there?
Thanks

I have a question:
I recently flashed the Bell rom with the latest radio (I couldn't get the radio only nbh to apply properly), and then subsequently flashed with the latest NagROM rom (which is awesome btw).
Now of course, at startup i have the nice HTC screen with the rom version etc, followed by an AWFUL blue BELL screen (and then the nice orange wm6.5 screen).
Is it possible to change the blue BELL screen? And if so how?

There was a cab to change that somewhere around here in this section of the forum. Alternatively, you can flash NFSFan's rom (which will get rid of it), or you can try mine as well and then reflash Nag's rom.

Question from mac+htc
mac+htc said:
Hey everyone,
So I was running NSFANS 6.5 ROM on my device (Amazing ROM btw) But I needed to revert back to the stock rom. I used the VZW updater to go back to the stock rom and I changed the esn on line. When I dialed the *228 and choose option 1 I got a failed message. So I called customer support and he walked me through a manual programing. Well that got voice working but when I went to use the data it wouldn't work. I made sure all the network settings were right, and I still couldn't connect. Well then I hard reset the device and now I am back to square 1. No voice no data. Is this something from NSFANS rom that is messing the phone up? I don't want to call again because their tech support takes forever and I am afraid they are just going to tell me to take the phone into the store. Thanks in advance!

Why did you change the E$N? Where you using the device in a different carrier?
Back to your problem. Your EPST settings should survive a hard reset as those are parameters that are not stored in Windows (afaik). It really makes not difference which rom you are using (at least for Voice and SMS).
Lets focus on your main phone's capabilities first. If your EPST settings truly got lost, you will need to get them from Verizon again. The main ones are the MSD and MIN. Make sure that you write them down this time as you will need them again if they go bye bye.
As for your internet, you will probably need to set the correct username in the phone's programming as well (also info that you will need from Verizon, but it should be something like [email protected] or something like that)
Do that and let me know if this works. They will have to program this for you this time, but once you have the values that I mentioned before, you will be able to do it yourself.

Try to get Barogi's latest "lite" rom. Also, you can't go wrong with vin's 28014 or NFSFan's rom. I would recommend mine, but I think they might be a little heavy for what you want. Good luck.
i checked out NSFSfan. It was nice, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay to much for what I want. Ill check out the other you suggested before i just flash back to stock rom

Try to avoid stock if you can... it has a bad tendency of being too heavy on the extra apps.
I checked out just SS's of both. Both look awesome, but theres something about the simple look ( or im just used to it since my 8125 ) of the stock look. I would like to have the look but the added memory of a cooked rom.
With NSFSfans, could you remove the today screen plug ins to get back to a more stock look?
Im runnin 2.1 android eclair at the moment, and im barley pulling a full day battery with no data/bluetooth. With the old winmo, I was getting 2.5 days-3days. Thats another main concern for me.

[Q] Noob guide?

Hi everyone. I'm a long time observer on xda (from win mo) but am very new to android. While I'm familiar with my device and the basics, I'm very unfamiliar with android terminology. For example, I'm eager to try some of the themes I see here but don't know which files to download as they are all labeled for cm6 only, etc. and then I see they need to be "flashed".
Can someone explain the language of the elites pertaining to android please? I'm assuming they are all codes for different roms, etc.
Fyi, I have an evo running froyo, not root or anything. Everything up to date as supplied from htc/sprint
Thanks in advance
cm6 is for this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=735596
the "zip" files will work with most any ROM as long as you stay with in the OS version. Much like WM 6.1 themes would not work in 6.5. SO Android 2.1 themes will not work Android 2.2 (aka FroYo). Of course some things like Kernels are designed for certain ROMs. Like a kernel for Freshs ROM vs. a general population.

you need to be rooted to apply themes and ROMs. Currently though, there is no way to root if you already have Froyo.
Flashing a new ROM, theme, or anything with the same regards simply means to wipe away what exists and replace it with something new.
So when you are flashing a new ROM, you are taking away the old one (with a data wipe aka factory reset) and then installing the saved zip file (contains the ROM) onto the computer.
Unfortunitly themes can't just be installed like they could on WM they need to be "flashed". These means you need to enter the phones bootloader. If you don't know what all that means then you have some more reading before you can get into themes. Much of which was said in the post above this.
Thanks everyone. And thanks for not flaming me, lol
