Anyone successfully unlock, hard spl, and flash an O2 Ignito?

So, has anyone successfully unlocked, hard spl and flashed a new ROM into an O2 Ignito?
There's so little about the O2 ignito here, but i'm thinking to get one and try a wwe Rom on it.
Thanks all

some people have them

There's not much information relating to the "MDA Compact IV" either.

True true, but don't forget it's the same hardware anyway so all of the updating applies to all 3 versions of the phone.
I personally have the MDA Compact IV and have updated ROM/SPL/Radio fine, and my friend has the O2 XDA Ignito and has also updated all 3 of his so i can confirm its safe

The XDa Ignito comes unlocked as standard - you can use any SIM card in it. As for the rest - I put Olinex 1.40 on mine and then have flashed 3 different roms from here all fine

I'm going to put a new rom on my Ignito tonight hopefully.
First though I want a copy of the original O2 rom to put back on if necessary.
So far i've managed to dump the rom from the phone to my computer, but now just need to convert that all back into a ROM somehow.

same position here, i got the raw files and the spl but trying to find out how to build a rom with the raw files.
please update if youv managed to find anything

I also have the raw files but if I have no idea how to get these back into a normal flashable o2 rom! I am sure we will manage it if we need it for warranty purposes though if it comes to it

i think we need to start a new thread for this to get more attention, some of the advanced users will deffinitely be able to help.
its worth doing in my opinion

As has already been stated, there's loads of us XDA Ignito users on here. Within 2 days I'd flashed a new SPL and ROM onto my device. Would be nice to have the original o2 rom to roll back to if necessary but I'm perfectly happy with out it currently.
As far as I'm aware o2 are one of the few operators that don't lock their devices. Out of all the handsets I've had from them over the years I'm as yet to receive a sim locked one.

markquinton,
can you help us out with redeveloping the original o2 rom!
seems like you have some ccoking experience having a custom rom on your orbit! see my previuos post in this thread

I'm afraid I only built custom rom's from the base HTC one's made available for the Orbit originally when WM6.1 came out. I've never worked with raw files and wouldn't have the foggiest about how to get them back into a flashable state. Sorry!

hi all am hoping to get this thread going again as im having trouble geting Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex onto my ignito. did any of you guys have trouble?

Hard SPL on ignito
I managed to install the hard SPl onto my ignito, but have been unable to flash a new rom.
Think the pre-installed works well though, I just installed the original black theme as the blue o2 one is pants.
Radio upgrade has been fine.
Biggest recommendation I have is to install the VGA version of quick GPS. It REALLY made a difference to my satellite lock times from like 10 mins to about 10 secs

no problems with it works fine mine was on o2 software using latest dutty's now.
give it a go, loads faster now

New T Mobile NLD Rom Update

Here is the link to the new MDA Compact IV Rom from T Mobile in NLD ver 1.93.1142.nld radio 1.0025.16
http://www.t-mobile.nl/persoonlijk/htdocs/page/service-contact/software-updates/mda.aspx

And STILL not available from T-Mobile UK!

What's the changes? Worth flashing? I use Tmobile but never did any of their roms, got an unbranded device...

seeing as you use a T-mobile MDA IV NL like I do, can you tell me what the original HardSPL is ?
I need to reflash mine so I can send it back for repairs (bluetooth not working properly anymore), I flashed the above mentioned rom using the quick method (copy to internal storage) so I now have an original T-mobile rom and radio but the HardSPL still is not original.
Technically it should not matter for warranty but I would rather not take any risks and also restore the HardSPL, I just have no idea which one it is (1.34, 1.35, 1.93 from the SPL thread here on xda ?)

Restoring your MDA IV back to tmobile defaults is a bit tricky. You beter use the new rom update, a new SPL should be in the ROM (in the Chech version it was). I used the Chech ROM to resore my tmobile picture and used SPL 1.37, ROM 1.37 and radio 1.00.25.03. All of these can be found in the forum.

Well,
I've used custom roms all the way from dutty's to leo's... LAst week i've flashed the new t-mobile rom. I must say it is very stable and with a few tweaks it is a very good rom.
I did this flash because always with a custom rom there was something i didn't like or didn't work. The feeling i have from this rom (I'm also on the t-mo network of course) is that this one must be tested with the best settings and the best radio for this network... because i need an stable phone.

so the Chech ROM also replaced your HardSPL, which you then replaced again with SPL 1.37 ?
(why replace the HardSPL again ?)
I guess I will round up a windows PC and reflash using the the rom update .exe and see if my HardSPL gets replaced.
(I kind of asumed the HardSPL never gets updated with a rom update, hence my confusion)
Shame there isnt a way to update the HardSPL without a windows PC
Should the HardSPL not get replaced by the update I can safely use the 1.37 version from xda ?

I am useing this rom at the moment and it is very good and very stable and very fast rom.
With other roms i had problems that my phone wouldn't wakeup anymore and needed to softreset it. With this rom so far i do not have the problem.
Ofcause i only use it for 2 days so far but i will let you know how it will be after a while. For the problem that the phone does not wakeup anymore with other roms i had that problem after 1 day already so i think the t-mobile diamond is differend then the real HTC diamond.
Only the t-mobile colors are terrible but there are enough themes and skins to change it to what you want.

Did your HardSPL get updated too when you updated your rom ?
If no which HardSPL do you have now (if it is the original that is) ?

I run 1.40 olinex, it says wrong device ID.
?
I have original DIamond, is that problem?

I made a new rom which will work on DIAMxxxxx (all) diamonds.
It's full 143mb (including SPL and RADIO, so Stock, only diam200 is removed).
IF interested I put online. Made with Olinex nbh thing,

same problem here

Sounds great. So this includes a stock signed spl?

It is 100% the same rom, and you will not get the Device_id error.
T-mobile service-desk WILL see this is not original T-mobile rom I think because ROM name is not the same (T-mobile instead of 1.93.blabal).

sms problem
Help, I flashed this new t-mobile ROM and now I an't send SMS. They stay in postvak uit. In tried flashing another radio and settings in comm manager. But nothing happends.

Try this, I had the same problem with several other roms.

Thank you very much. I tried it and after a softreset it is possible to send SMS now.

REmoved the rom.
It's really too slow

Sorry to bump this one, but does the t mobile NL rom update the SPL to stock?

Does Anyone Have The MDA Compact IV 1.93 Rom?

I have a UK MDA Compact IV running the official 1.37 rom, I have read through some of the threads posted here that some users were getting back their UK MDA Compact IV's from repair center with the new Tmobile 1.93 roms flashed on there. I was hoping there was a dump of this rom somewhere? Tmobiles UK site doesn't even have the phone listed in the support section! Any help would be appreciated.

it'd be nice to have this as well, as you said, t-mobile lack any kind of support or mentioning of the phone on the site

Strange, in the past 2 weeks ive bought 2 MDAC's (one for me and one for the missus) and both came with 1.37.

T-Mobile UK reply
Just read this thread and there answer that I received from T-Mobile UK about update
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=443465

= (
Yeah uk t-mobile is so behind the other countries t-mobile

My MDA went in for repair for camera fault and came back with 1.93 (and still had the camera fault) they have now given me a replacement phone with 1.37.
The short while I had 1.93 it seemed much quicker than this so would also be interested in the new one if any one has it?
Also spoke to T-mobile they replied with "Not aware of any update" most helpful.

My wifes T-MO compact IV went in for a screen repair, came back repaired looking brand new (same IMEI), but it had the 1.93 rom and 1.00.25.16 radio ROM on it. Yet my new handset came with 1.37 ROM and 1.00.25.03 radio ROM.

Tmobile official "German update" is avalaible throu download from t-mobile.de
think its the same for your MDA version its 1.97 already, also 1.93 is avail !
So try your t-mobile site -> Buisness center -> support / Downloads -> select you MDA Vendor select "t-Mobile". There you should get Official update, no need of an HardSPL and no warranty lost.
Also when i go to tmobile shop i can get them to update my device cost free here in germany, normaly takes them 3-4 hours then you can get ur device back

Is it possible to change the language of a stock ROM? i.e. Update to the latest German Compact IV ROM then change the language to English?

Nope I guess not. Besides that every language has it's own Manila-version so if you were able to change the system language there would still be the german manila.

i ve tried the german update and even though i have
no idea how to cook a rom and i can imagine that
this is really hard and time consuming work i really
think pupils on the lowest school grade could have
made it much better than tmobile. its that much laggu
that its realy not funny using this rom. but for
suppprt and warrenty i agree it might be usefull
having an original rom

Yeah, we just need one of the lucky few who actually get their phones back with the uk 1.93 rom to dump it for us.

I dont know why T-Mobile UK are dragging their heels. They hardly ever issue new ROMs. Vodafone UK have issued not one but two ROM updates for their Diamond.
After Sales Support at T-Mobile UK = "Get a new phone"
Even T-Mob.cz have a new ROM.
T-Mob UK want to force people to resort to illegal ROM updates.
If any T-Mob UK execs read this forum..... Please wake up and support the people who are bringing in your bread and butter

The new HTC Rom and T-Mobile Compact IV

I would like to install the new Feb 09 ROM from HTC. My Compact IV is from last August and Im just so fed up with the slowness and reception... but I dont want to brick it as I still have a year contract left (thats why never cooked anything) however I feel I could trust the ROM straight from HTC(?) This also seems to pretty straight forward to do.
...but Please let me know
- Is the installer 'PDA Phone ROM Update Utility 3.27.4.3' that comes with it safe to use?
- No need to hardSPL etc.. stuff?
- Will there be any issue as Compact IV is locked to T-Mobile?
Appreciate help... love my compact IV!!

Just to add to my post
I used the S/N in the other thread: ht824gn13492 to download the ROM from HTC. HTC didnt allow to do it with Compact IV's S/N. I hope thats ok... Think the ROM version downloaded is 2.03.405.3.
Thanks

...
I have compact IV too and I am using 2.03 roms (htc and cooked) without problems.You need hardspl to flash these roms (i have olinex 1.93). And I recomend you to flash rom by internal method. Good luck

What do you mean with 'internal method'?
And even if install straight from HTC, still need hardSPL?
Thanks!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2707841&postcount=4035
Read this about flashing from internal storage.Mainly the second paragraph.And I thing that you need hardspl for any other rom except tmobile stock one.
I hope that will help you

hardspl
Thanks for your help. Just one more question: does your last comment mean T-mobile original ROM doesnt require hardSLP. Or better I install it anyway?
Thanks!!

Yes.Only (Tmobile CZ in my case)stock rom from your mobile operator

copilot
I think I will try install straight the official HTC ROM. I read somewhere else thread if updating official ROm you shouldnt use any HardSPL(?) Im not exp with this, and dont want to risk my phone...
I wonder will this affect the Copilot 7 installed by T-Mobile? i know its on the interanl memory (4GB) but were some parts in the phones memory that will be wiped away? dont want to loose it!!!

you cannot install the Official HTC ROM without HardSPL is what gajdik means.
Because your phone is T-Mobile branded (like mine) you can ONLY install T-Mobile ROMS, all others will fail (even official htc roms), to bypass this you must hardspl

Thanks... understand now.
What about Copilot, will I loose it? (does it have something in registry etc that will disable it, as the ROM is not from T-mobile?)
thanks

I have preinstaled tomtom 7 by tmobile and it works after rom update. But I am not sure about copilot...

Hi all,
I'm new to all this. I've got hold of the new HTC Rom that I want to put on my Compact IV, but can anyone give me a version of Hard SPL to use?
I can't seem to get any of the versions i've found so far to work!
Thanks in advance!

What version of stock rom do you have?And what versions of hardspl you tried?

I've got 1.37.110.3 WWE (the standard one that came from T-Mobile) and i'm trying to flash 2.03.405.3 (the feb 09 update from the HTC website)
I think i've managed to get the Olinex Hard SPL 1.30 onto the phone, but can't seem to make any progress.

HTC TOUCH PRO 2 ON TELSTRA - Help Required

Hi, I was wondering if someone could help me out with detailed instructions.
I am faily new to the world of PDA's and smart phones.
I just bought HTC touch Pro 2 from Telstra. Its all customised with Telstra/Bigpond.
My question is how can I remove Telstra customisation completely from the phone?
FYI,
Device Information.
Rom Version: 1019.841.3 (51489) WWE
Rom Date: 06/04/2009
Radio Version: 3.44.25.27
Windows 6.1
Your help would be highly appreciated. Also, could you please provide complete steps for the solution you provide.
Thanks for your help

Nothing much you can do. You can flash a custom ROM if you want to totally remove Telstra stuff.
Having said that there are some good stuff in Telstra ROM. Free web browsing to certain sites (BigPond, Sensis, Yellow Pages, Trading Post, etc.....) And there are free apps like WhereIs where the data download is not counted towards your usage. And there are 2 free apps Jetcet Print and Jetcet Presenter. The former for printing directly from phone and the latter for creating/editing Powerpoint slides.
But if you don't want any of these, you can always flash a custom ROM of your choice.

Yep just flash a custom rom simple

If you don't mind me asking, did you buy the phone outright or on a plan?
If outright, how much did you pay?

i'd like to get rid of the the telstra things too
phrak, i just bought mine yesterday at harvey norman, it was $1479 outright and with extended warranty (ex wty was 99)

Well you can always flash a cooked ROM if you like. I haven't yet as I'm quite happy with the Telstra ROM. I don't like the purple color theme so I installed another theme. I am quite happy with what I have got so far. Would wait for Telstra WM6.5 upgrade and see if it is any good.

You can manually remove Telstra items by editing registry

Touch Pro 2 Sprint on NextG
Hi I just got a Touch Pro 2 Sprint CDMA GSM version from the USA. I know you'd probably wonder why but because it has the inbuilt 3.5mm headphone jack. I unlocked everything on the phone and changed the radio to the 2.05.00WU (USCC test edited) version, changed the ROM to try the 6.5.3 energy rom. I know the phone supports CDMA 850. But aren't sure if it's now possible to get it to work on NextG.
Is anyone able to confirm if it's possible? I think it runs on the CDMA2000 1X 1900/800 band. And from what I've been reading it mightn't support the 2100 band, so mightn't be able to get it to work at all.
I'd like one with the headphone jack but like the keyboard also. Don't really want a Touch HD2 thought they would be alright with the 1Ghz CPU.

My problem is the Telstra Next g version is a Rhod110, not Rhod100. This means that when attempting to put Hard SPL on my brand new toy it comes up with a "fatal error"... No way am I gonna try putting a new rom on without Hard SPL... Soft SPL just freezes the whole thing and the only fix is to pull the battery...
Its also a different series from the other touch pro 2 available, 7381, not 7373...
Guess I'm stuck with the bloated stock rom until Telstra releases a wm6.5 rom or a new Hard SPL or Soft SPL are conjured up....
Downloaded the file enablerapinew.cab, able to flash Hard SPL... SWEET....

I have the same problem !
Hi there, it sounds like Im in the same boat as you are or were... I also have a RHOD110 from Telstra but I want to upgrade it to win 6.5 and I'm just not sure which ROM will be applicable a) for this model or b) for the Australia service (3g)
I wonder did you manage to get this sorted out and would you be kind enough to give me any info that may help from your own experence ?
Thanks in advance !

Download & install enablerpinew.cab. You should then be able to Hard SPL.. I also have Rhod110 from Telstra.
Next G works fine, its a hardware feature so it will always pick up Next G, but you may need to get the GPRS settings from Telstra and manually input them.
Use Manual Hard SPL if auto doesn't work, just need to install enablerpinew.cab 1st, and only once... After that any rom works finre...
Cheers...
