i780: Which firmware for what? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hi!
There is no thread so far just listing the current firmwares and the features in order to help with the decision to upgrade or not.
I am currently on HC3 as my PDA version and HC4 (from the Italian split rom) as my radio. Question now is: are there any advantages going to HC4 PDA or even to HD1?
And if I may ask, is there a German rom somewhere. I am quite happy with my English rom, but I might want to flash the rom back to German if I decide to sell the i780 at one point...
Thanks
Alex

It seems there is a E1 firmware released, because ppl at ppc
are talking about it.

German Qtek 9000 ROM available?

Hello!
The Qtek 9000 is sold in Germany with a ROM dated middle October 2005.
Is this ROM also available for download somewhere?
Unfortunately I couldn't find it yet...
I would like to try it on my MDA Pro! :lol:
Deal!
Hey,
I'm looging to change my Qtek german ROM to an English one.
I'm pretty sure we can find a deal in exchanging our ROMs!
But you need to tell me how to extract and how to reflash afterwards.
If interrested contact me.
The english ROM is here on xda-devs-FTP
But: please before flashing your OS upload the german ROM there!
This would be my very best xmas present
Cheers
Ok for your christmas present!
Hello Cendaryn,
I just need coaching or tutorial for extracting and then flashing the ROMs.
If someone tells me how to extract I will post for sure.
And I need also help to flash the english ROM.
Thank you
Well this is my biggest problem - I know how to flash the ROMs but not how to dump them. But I guess a little search in the forum here will help
Cheers
uni_cdl-me_11238_132_10301_ship.exe ) Is this the Qtek ROm? if its not please show me the direction.
Sorry
Sorry with no tutorial I can't help.
I'm really willing to post the german ROM. But haven't a clue where to start.
Does anybody know?
Thank you.
Dumping the ROM seems to be not easy
this is what I found: [Universal] How to d2s (dump) the ROM
I can't help you because I dont have a Universal (Qtek 9000) but I'm very interested in files of this ROM too!!!
Dumping the ROM seems to be not easy
Well, you say it.
If I look the post you mention I still have no idea where to start ???
I keep on seeking for complete tutorial.
By the way, does anybody know if changing the ROM is also changing the WM language? Or do I have to change separately?
Thank you.
A ROM also includes the WM language.
Maybe this topic helps:

Cheers
Near to target ... but ...
Hi,
Thank you for the links, I feel I'm very close to dump the german ROM.
But not done so far.
And I'm becoming impatient because I found the ROM I want to put in place.
Keep on helping me end pray for I resist not to flash the original german ROM. :twisted: :twisted:
Arrgh!
I'm going mad to find how to backup original ROM.
Don't know if I will resist any longer to flash without backup.
Would You please try to run grab_it on your Universal?
This would give us a RAW-ROM-Image.
and i need a file dump (TestWM5) of a German ROM.
but you will need a Storage Card to do this.
German ROM needed ?
Hi all,
just reading through this thread here. I have an original VDA-IV with an unchanged ROM. I am trying to convince myself to upgrade to JasJar or O2, but did not do so yet. Any wish for a dump from me ?
(Have to leave now, but am able to do so tomorrow)
Ruud
yes, yes, yes...
@Ruud Westerhout: view your last Post
I am getting today my german qtek 9000.. But I will flash to wwe Qtek.. I will try to dump the german one first.. But maybe I need a little help..
Alex
Idea
Maybe, we can have it a little easier, because I think, ROM dumping is very difficult and could also be hard to flash on other devices. For MDA compact (HTC Magician) for example, you had to edit the dumped ROM with a binary editor before it worked on other devices. Also, there often were problems with some SD card readers/writers, etc.
The best way would be getting a ROM update from the vendor (e.g Qtek) as a complete EXE-File. This could be flashed on other devices with the maupgrade_noid-Tool from xda developers FTP server.
So, it would be nice of you Qtek users, if you could write an e-mail to Qtek.ch!
They offer updates for Qtek users, but you need to mail your IMEI number. So MDA Pro users are not able to get Qtek updates this way.
I'll do this.. No problem..
Any other requests??

You can find both Rom version here
If you have the same version you don't have any advantage.
But, if you speak Spanish and your device English, you can try to install signed HARD-SPL by OliNex and after the signed ROM, or Unsigned Hard-SPL for developers and the UNsigned ROM (Oficial version).
Get Luck !
Yes, I could try an English ROM. But looking in the signed list, only two ROMs are newer than mine.
-RUU_Diamond_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.37.707.1_Radio_Signed_D iamond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship
-RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.37.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.26a.25.09_1. 00.25.03_Ship
First one I supose that is not in English and the second one, I really don't know the language but it's just 1.37.456 when mine is 1.37.412. Are there lots of changes between them? It's better to wait until a new version is released? where can I find the differences in each version?
What about the cooked and signed ROMs? These are the same as others but with some things out?
Thanks for your quick answer!!!

Both Roms are English. I don't know...there are several cooked roms now. Just try it and then use that likes you.
For differences you can look for in its corresponding thread.

Sers again,
these version are not newer than yours and they are both english WWE (Wo
rld Wide English), ME only means signed for Middle Europe devices!
1.37.412.2 - first 3 digits are the main version 1.37 , next 3 are the regional code (i.e: 412 for Spain, 407 for German), and last one is "sub" version!
So 1.37.....2 is newer than 1.37.....1 .
Cooked roms are based on stock roms, they have - dependend of cooker - i.e. some speed tweaks, memory tweaks, or newer/updateable apps in them.
regards
Thanks for that information.... so I'm up-to-date....
As I'm a little afraid of having a wonderful brick I'll read a lot more before installing some cooked verison!
I've read that Radio 1. 00.25.05 works better than mine (03). It really worth to install in without installing the hole ROM? (I supouse it can be done...)
Thanks again!

Best German/English Rom

Hello Guys,
i am wondering, whats the "best" rom for my diamond.
I would prefer a german one, but i would also take a english one
At the Moment i have this one: RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.37.401.3_Radio_Signed_Dia mond_52.26a.25.09_1.00.25.03_Ship
Than i have a second question:
When i want to flash a new rom on my device. Do i have to hard spl?
Thank you.
I am also interested in a "good" german ROM.
Where did you pull the version information from? And when & where did you buy the TD? My TD (bought at amazon.de) is 2 weeks old and has the version 1.37.00.00 (seen suring startup)
Thanks
JayZee2
Whats meant with TD?
I think you mean the diamond?... i got it from T-Mobile.
The Version information is from the ROM i flashed on my device
But its an english one
Hello,
Without the intention of being Rude - HAVE YOU TRIED SEARCHING?
A good place to start is modmydiamond but there are answers for all your questions on here already...
Hello,
i already tried searching, but my problem is, that i can't see wich would be the best fitting rom for me... i don't know e.g. why to take elites or duttys...
@ SELFARIAN
in each cooked rom there is a list of removed/included applications, so depends on ur need u can choose the best rom for u!
all the cooked roms r very similar to the shipped roms there is no big differences.
i recommend u to stay with the original shipped rom and make some registry tweaks to improve performance.
Mit freundlichen Grüßen

does anyone have a dump of the rogers french rom?

Hi all,
I am new here and I have been snooping around. This is a great forum.
anyway, So on tuesday I recieved my rogers HTC touch diamond with a 3 year term extension. The phone came in WIMO 6.1 FRENCH. I was a bit pissed because I'm pretty sure that I specifically asked for the english version. After reading another forum post, it seems another user ran into this issue with rogers. they don't seem to carry the phone in english.
I wanted to return the phone but then i stumbled upon xda developers and hard spl'ed the phone and loaded new roms on it. the thing runs pristine now. I am in love with this phone. I do want to keep it but I dont want my 3 year lock-in with my carrier.
So, I was wondering if anyone has a dump of the french version rogers rom for the diamond? this way i can revert it back to manufacturing defaults and return it within my 30 day trial window and then just buy one BNIB off ebay or someone off howard forums.
can anyone help me out here?
I also got a French ROM on my Rogers Diamond. They do have english versions as well though. If you do a search you will find a link to the english Rogers ROM.
My guess is that they would not check if the ROM was supposed to be french or english. They would just check that it is a stock ROM and spl.
Check this thread for the English version:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=455347
To restore back to orignal state,
1) Flash the OS ROM
2) Flash the original radio
3) Flash the original splash screen
4) Finally, use the Soft-SPL method to change the HardSPL to the original Rogers SPL
5) Return it

thanks for the reply. I hope you are right about them not checking.
the contents of the box have french documents. I hope that they dont clue in
well I guess I'll give that a go. I hope they they dont charge me the $200 policy for used or damaged returns. but if they do its worth not having to lock-in for 3 years.

[i780]phone rom PBHHJ4 needed!

hello =)
i need phone part for i780
version should be PBHHJ4
or a full german with phone pda and boot!
thanks!
please help me its urgent
there's a rom dump matching my requirements but i dont know how to make phone part out of it!
link is: full pbhhj4
Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497248&highlight=i780+original+german
Hi,
I tried to flash the whole Rom from the post you mentioned (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497248&highlight=i780+original+german) but it contains only the PDA Part not the phone part. The problem is, that I need the original german PHONE PART for samsung sgh i780 (because I damaged the old one).
The only phone part I found was DXHH1. I flashed it with mirage and it works but not without problems concerning the internet connection (it breaks sometimes - I did not have these problems with the former original).
I found a complete image of an original german rom in another thread including the phone and eeprom part, but I got an error everytime I tried to flash. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3454975&postcount=161).
Is there any possibility to get the original phone part from the german Rom?
Thank you in advance!!!
I have the PBHHJ4 phone, not modified.
Hi, still interested of getting the ROM from PBHHJ4 phone?
I have exactly the PBHHJ4 i780 German phone and I have not nessed with it yet. It has Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, CE OS 5.2.20270.
If you explain how to do it - I will do it.
I want to back it up and then try to flash one of Heineken builds.
Before I had another i780, it was XDHD1, unfortunatelly it was stolen. But I flashed it with one of the builds, just took the first I like and flashed it straightforward and it worked. Still have that file I guess: i780-21812.bin
Anyway, what I am reading about here that flashing those phones with just any build is not very safe, its possible to brick it, and many of them have to be flashed with basic english version and then flashed to latest.
What I am on about - I have this german phone now, the PBHHJ4. What is the procedure to flash this phone with 6.5 English version build? Can I just flash anything or should I "downgrade" it to some OEM english release and then flash it?
Please help me to understand this as I can not dig through so many pages to find the right way to do it.
And, what is actually the most stable build which is fresh enough?
Thanks!

yes that would be verry good if you could do full rom image containing radio phone and loader like official dxib1 for german phones!
if you could dump all or at least radio part this would be great(as official PBHHJ4 pdapart is already up @ xda!)
