Sorry to bother you, I'm sure this info is somewhere (or if I understood it a bit better), but if someone could clear a few things up:
1) Have downloaded Hard-SPL 1.23, 1.34 and the latest version - is the newer better/more stable? Or I do have to use the one that matches the ROM I am flashing to?
2) If I want to do a cooked a ROM, will any of the versions of Hard-SPL listed above work for that too?
3) Is there an easy way to back up operator settings (internet, voice mail number etc?) Just got it so there's nothing else on it that needs backing up.
4) Offical ROMs are in .exe format, can I just install them on to my XDA?
Edit: Found the official ROMs, just required looking through several pages (sorry). Can anyone answer the other questions, especially how to back-up network settings.
For the mo I just want to get rid of the O2 branding.
Thanks for your time - have been a mod on several forums and I know you end up having to answer questions 20 times over.
Cheers,
Joe
Regarding Hard SPL, read here fully and carefully. It will tell you all you need to know.
With regards to ROMs, you could use the official ones but you will find AZTOR ROMs far superior. (AZTOR = Alpha Zero Tweaked Official ROM) or alternatively Shaks.P ROM in my signature which is set up for the UK. Both will automatically detect your network and use the correct settings and both are as stable as the original ROMs but with improved performance
I have a UK o2 xda ignito, and the only hard spl I have used is 1.93 from this thread.

Most of the modded roms can be flashed with the included utilities. But most of the official 2.03 roms can only be flashed from internal storage.
Any info you need can be found with the search function, with a little time.
All the best.

Responding To Questions:
1) It doesn't have to match your original SPL...if the one you have downloaded works then use it. Very few chefs recommend a specific Hard SPL with there ROM. But this is so rare.
2) if you want to flash a unsigned ROM then you need a developers edition Hards SPL.....or jocky's works as well....I personally use 1.93 so I recommend that one.
3) don't worry about backing up operators settings.....most of these roms come with a "Connection Setup" which allows you to select from a list of operators and it does everything for you. I also have a little app for this if your rom doesn't have this.
@Everyone: thanks for your help.
Will install the 1.93 Developers HSPL and see how that goes.
Can anyone recommend a ROM (don't want any visual tweaks)?
Thanks again
Asking such a question can close this thread .........
This is out of the respect of the chefs who work hard. Please refrain from this topic regarding best roms, etc.
Just try them out and read the threads.

I understand people have put a lot of hard work in and have taken a look at a few cooked ROMs, and fully intend to start cooking my own when (if) I have learned the skills.
However just got it and it has O2 branding, so i'd like to play with the original interface for a day or two before I start seeing what can really be done with the interface
Yeah, good idea, this will allow you to compare the true difference between a original and a cooked Rom. That is where one can begin to truly see how much better a cooked Rom is.
AZTOR version for UK?
Gonna try the AZTOR, looks like its got some solid improvements without affecting the UI, which version (WWE/GER) are using for the UK Mike?
Thanks again everyone, you've been a great help.
A mod can close this thread if you want now, got my problems sorted.

Does anyone know of any custom roms for US Cellular?
I have not seen any on here, at ppcgeeks.com, or ppchaven.com.
One of the other two site may be able to help you as they are more geared towards CDMA devices.
You are in luck!

you should be able to flash a custom rom that is not particular to US cellular.
For instance, I'm on sprint, I have a bell radio and a custom bell rom, running no problem.
noob - so noob that I just popped out 3 weeks ago. How exactly (as in step by step) do I flash a rom. I have been looking and searching and googling but to no avail of instructions.
I have seen I need to unlock my phone (codes like ##3242# do not work on my USCC HTC Touch (which shows as a vogu100 on the system screen) and QPST does not even see my phone - but I do not know how to use that either.
I saw that I should use Coke 2.3 (or something like that) from ImCokeman on PPCGeeks (probably here too.
Again where do I get step-by step (in a how-to for complete imbiciles). Could anyone help me here?
All I realy want to do is turn on my GPS and possibly the wifi as my users manual says it has it and there should be a button for it in comm manager but it is also missing.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.

What ROM & Radio do you currently have? I asume that since you posted on this thread that you are on US Cell?
UNLOCKING
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
You will have to use WINRAR to extract the files to a folder. Connect your phone to your computer with activesync (xp) or WMDC (Vista) to establish a connection. You just need to run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe & follow the instruction.
FLASHING
Once you have unlocked you phone download what ever ROM you want & extract the files to a folder using winrar. Establish a connecrtion & run the ROMUpdateUtility.exe. Then follow the instructions.
You can also flash from the bootloader screan power+camera+reset. If flashing a stock ROM then copy the VOGUIMG.nbh onto your micro sd card. Tehn enter the bootloader screen power+camera+reset. You ROM should start flashing automatically. If you want to us a custom ROM you will follow the same process but you will have to remname the nbh file. It will be named RUU_Signed.nbh & you will need to rename it to VOGUIMG.nbh after copying it to you micro sd card.
Look at this page.

I have come across the unlocking thread 13 different times but it is not specific to USCC it even says it. This is for a CDMA device, the HTC vogue aka SPRINT touch (not elf) - if it bricks my phone I am s.o.l. as they rund $500+ retail and I aint got it lying around.
Oh well - maybe I am just paranoid but I need my phone and can't take a chance that my phone becomes a paperweight just for one added feature especially when it does have an option for external GPS and those I can get for 30-50 dollars.
I wish I had more confidence in myself but well...
Thank You.
Update: Unlocked and flashed the ROM in this tread for USCC and still my GPS don't work -- this is the one thing I wanted. No help
Dette makes a really nice fully loaded ROM, fast and smooth, not really my taste mainly because I like to keep all my apps up to date and when they're cooked in you cant. I like a nice clean ROM that I can customize myself, But Dettes is awsome if you just wanna "flash and go", plus your pretty limited on your choices because of your carrier

This is for Diamond I have Vogue I did the one that was posted at the beginning of this post and although not bricked major changes made that I do not like.
I now have to see if I can find the original USCC stock ROM only thing I need is the GPS - the rom changed my contact, can not change default area code, plays music when not told to, etc.
that's what I get for trying.
No this is for the Vogue, its just the Diamond edition. I flashed it this morming to my Alltel touch. I assume its called that cause its got the M2D which makes it look like the Diamonds TF3D. Trust me

Hi all,
I've been trying to convince NFSFAN to make a US cellular version of his awesome ROM. He said he would do it if there were at least three users interested. So far I just have myself and johnficca interested. Please go to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487 to view the ROM and ask NFSFAN to make a US Cellular version.
P.S. Please be polite, respectful and grateful in your posts. NFSFAN is busy and does a lot for this and other communities.
I don't understand - I have a US Cellular HTC Touch Pro2 and the GPS and WiFi are both working fine right out of the box. My guess is that you either have them turned off (although I don't remember seeing an option to turn the GPS off), or you have faulty hardware.

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.

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.
Hello all....
I just picked up a TP2 yesterday.....and i wanna get into tinkering with it.....
i have a g1 with a custom rom, and i also had an htc dash that i installed a rom on.....i know that stock doesnt always give the best performance so i want some suggestions....
basically im looking for a rom that has speed, stability and looks nice....my phones on 6.1 .......so can you guys point me in the right direction?
ohh...and ive notice the screen isnt as responsive on the tp2 as on my g1....i know theyre different (resistive/capacitive) ....can any of the roms improve the screen responsiveness? just askin.....
and thanx again ppl

That's the specifications page for the unbranded (european) version. There are several GSM-only models, mostly for use in the US.
Energy ROMs are my favorites. They look really nice with good features thrown in. Unfortunately, I'm sticking with 6.1 since it's the fastest, most stable, with the most available memory. Need to do a lot of multitasking so the bling bling just wasn't working for me.

So, if I'll decide to install a new unbranded rom, which one I should choose? The CDMA or GSM version? My Rhodium is European version so I suppose the GSM version: that's correct?

This is VERY interesting. Now there is a branded WM6.1 (tim) version on my HTC. But I could consider to leave this rom. Have you done some trustworthy tests for a long time?
Anyway if I decide to update with a new rom, I should use HardSPL. I downloaded this program but my avira antivirus flash up a warning message: can I really trust in HardSPL? Or is there any trojan that I'll could inject inside my Rhodium?
Lets put it this way, if you don't have Hard SPL and you aren't CID unlocked then you will very quickly have a beautiful new shiny Rhodium paper weight.
Hard SPL allows non-carrier specific roms to be loaded... Without it you won't get far...
Had the same problem with my antivirus, you will need to disable it while running Hard SPL, and you will still need to be connected to the net.
As for the Roms, YOU need to read about them then decide whats right for you. Everyone you talk to will recommend a different rom but your circumstances will play a big part in the rom you choose... It doesn't help that every other day a new rom comes out.
Cheers...

Don't get me wrong. 6.5 ROMs work really well, I just had some issues with a particular software that I needed to use in most cases. But 6.1 does have more memory.

Now added too
Deserves a bump.
Thanks, I've been using this thread quite often (I stupidly delete ROM's after I extracted stuff I need so I need to re-download them once the extraction business is on again... ). Having to look for it on page 3 or 4 is horrible so here we go, I get it back on the front page.
Link no longer works.
Link from first post? (shipped-roms.com)
I have no problems!
Can someone please explain to me and I'm sure others would appreciate, what is all the wwe ruu tmous stuff mean. I look at that list and barely have a clue what I should be flashing if I want the latest, what belongs to what provider etc. Also if your s off aren't there quite a few of these that if you flash you will semi brick?
I have tried finding a breakdown of all this info and had no such luck. If someone does not feel like explaining all that can u just tell me the latest tmobile released rom and if its safe to flash with s off and eng bootloader? Thank u.

WWE = World Wide English (?), means about as much as "global release". A version of a ROM which is released to one could say "unbranded" devices coming from HTC directly, intended for worldwide use. No G2, no Vodafone, just pure HTC.
RUU = Rom Update Utility, a Windows OS executable file which flashes a ROM onto your device, partially or fully. A so called "official RUU" is usually a ROM updater coming from HTC, still in it's untouched state, unmodified, means no root pre-included, no locks removed, no traps defused, just pure HTC.
TMOUS = T-Mobile USA. Questions?

Technically quite incorret but it will do as an explanation: we all have the same devices, they are just distinguishable by the software put on them. Since the hardware is the same, all devices worldwide will run every "Vision" ROM there is. So basically, as normal in IT, take the one with the highest number and youre good to go 1.34 is older than 1.72 is older than 1.84 is older than (...). The stuff after 1.34.xxx is for the "release/sales region" a ROM is intended for. 405 for example is more or less western europe, so ROMs released for the german/austrian/swiss/whatever market are 1.xx.405.z ROMs.
what belongs to what provider etc.

Doesn't matter, a Vision is a Vision. A "provider ROM" just means it will have some provider specific junk loaded as opposed to a "clean" HTC ROM. Exception: G2 vs DesireZ. G2 is "pure" Android (with T-Mo junk) where as DesireZ get Sense from HTC.
Also if your s off aren't there quite a few of these that if you flash you will semi brick?

Semi brick? If you got a semi brick unbrick it by flasing something which works. Beauty of flashing HTC devices. Ever heard of locked Motorola bootloaders? A pain in the hole, and very much at that...
...and if its safe to flash with s off and eng bootloader?

S-OFF and ENG Bootloader means your device is basically (very stupid things to do excluded) bomb proof. In this combination there is almost always a way to get it back to a working state. One thing I would consider: I'd take a modified, pre-rooted ROM, an "official" ROM might close a loophole used to root and crack and hack the device.

You'd need a custom recovery for that. And without ROOT you can't load a custom recovery. Hmm... you could temp-root, put recovery on, factory reset (wipe temp root stuff off device), pull a backup, and then perm-root. This way you'd get a quite clean backup. Anyone disagree?
I'm not able to download a single file, either download never starts or it just stops randomly at any point during the download have not been able to download more than 50mb
This may be obvious but which country is AUS as in RUU_Vision_Hutch_AUS_1.85.861.3_Radio_12.28h.60.14 0f_26.06.02.27_M_release_172438_signed.exe ?
