Custom ROM, Unlocker? - Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development

Okay so I read this..
"a. unlock your phone ( ImCoKeMaN's Vogue unlocker found here : http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370)
b. upgrade your radio (most recomend the Bell ROM for that, if your not with Bell do not let the customizations run)
c. Load a custom ROM (Most Vogue users rightfuly recomend NFSFans ROMS for good reasons)"
I see that I need to unlock my phone, I'm with Telus and can somebody tell me in that thread what unlocker I'm so post to download. Also once I've unlocked my phone, how do I upgrade radio and how do I load custom rom? Also when the rom is loaded when I turn my phone on from then on it will look like the custom rom?

I'm in the exact same boat. Can someone please tell us the steps (in order) on how to
1. unlock the telus HTC touch (I think it's that .coke program).
2. Upgrade the radio -- where do you find the info on how to do that?
3. Do you have to do that stuff to activate GPS BEFORE or AFTER upgrading the ROM?
Thanks in advance

Im with Telus also using NFSFans Custom Rom
Download the new rom update at
http://www.htc.com/us/
Run the Rom updater on PC with your phone on active sync
its gonna take like 10-15 mins to finish (let it reboot and customize your mobile)
once its finished you should now have Window's mobile 6.1 with radio 2.31
Then run the vogue unlocker
ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Vogue/Users/ImCoKeMaN/Vogue_unlocker_MFG_2.31.exe by ImCokeMan
Your phone should be unlocked now!
(That's all i did on mine anyways)
(Bricked my phone too trying to make my own rom lolol
You can also use that unlocker to unbricked your phone)
GL!

Flashing a cooked rom - further tips

As a number of you are having problems flashing cooked roms I put up this sticky.
1. If you presently run a factory wm5\wm6 rom then uspl cid unlock (step 1 in my roms) your rom before you flash cooked rom.
2. If you have a cooked rom on your device already and are changing to another cooked rom (especially if rom is from a different cook) i would recommend you:
a) flash back to factory rom first
b) then cid unlock
c) then flash the new cooked rom.
This is because sometimes the new cooked rom does not function 100% on first flash and a repeat flash is required.
3.Alternatively (especially if you dont have access to the factory rom) flash the new cooked rom twice to be sure new rom has taken properly and if device is already cid unlocked there is no need to cid unlock again.
Thanks for your hard work
Yes flashing twice works!!!
Thanks
Thanks Meschle
No Navigation application included in ROMs
Maybe this is also interestening for newbies;
there is no TomTom or iGo in the ROMs included (this is a often asked question)
but you can download TomTom from their website for free (you only have to pay for the maps)
After installing TomTom - just insert your TomTom CD and install your maps from there.

Hi guys, I'd like to try one of your cooked roms but unless I tried to gather infos from the forum I still have some doubts....
First of all... the cid unlock procedure is needed only for the devices that are operator branded right? I mean if I have a normal HTC no brand I don't need to do this step... is this correct?
And last but not least.. how can I flash back to the factory rom??? Is the procedure the same? I tried to find my original rom but I couldn't... Does anyone can help me in finding it? (I've got the italian rom installed).
Thanks to everybody...

Before you start to cook your own rom...
May I add that's also very important to have been through the whole process (at least one time) of recooking an original rom without adding/removing anything ?!
That's the price we need to pay in order to achieve successfull rom cooking !

Just like to add that sometimes the ROM file renames itself to an N file even if you rename it back to a NBH file so watch for that before flashing cooked ROMs
using the ROM Update utility, how do I get it to choses the correct rom file. Cooked one with extended rom how do I get tit to choose this file?

The above questions asked are really important for the ppl flashing their ROMs for the 1st time. I want to add some more questions
- How to put the original ROM back on the device.. (could not find the steps for the same)
- CID unlock. If i put the original ROM back on the device, will it automatically take care of the CID which was unlocked before (to flash the cooked ROMs)?
- Is there any way we can see CID info on the mobile?

to put the original ROM just get it and flash it when needed
and when flashing it it don't need CID unlock or anything and it will bring back your device to original SPL, IPL, Radio and ofcourse the OS

How to EXACTLY undo a wm6 upgrade?

Hi Everybody
My hermes is the following:
Vodafone 1605 ITA WM5
ROM: 2.07.165.1 (02/13/07)
Radio: 1.32.00.00
I don't know If I'm going to tryu the wm6 update, but, before even thinking about it, I want to make sure that I can restore it back to what it was in the beginning, in case anything goes wrong...
How can I save my Rom, radio and everything OR where can I find my exact rom and all the necessary stuff to revert it back?
I noticed a guide for wm5 downgrade, but that wolud probably only bring back wm5 in some form, and not MY wm5 and everything that comes with it...
I hope you understood what I mean
Is that even possible?
Thanks in advance
Happily, it's easy mate.
Download your original rom from the archive so you've got it to reinstall from. (Check your current versions of rom, radio, etc. to make sure it's the right one.)
When you want to downgrade, just plug in your phone and run the downloaded exe. It'll take LOADS longer for the 'old' rom to install than your upgrade to wm6 did. This is mainly because the 'old' (original) rom you download will install spl, ext rom, os, plash 1 + 2 and radio all at once.
Thats the easy way.
You could extract just the bits of the original you need to save time, but there are instructions in threads, wiki and downloads for that so I won't repeat it all here. It's Dutty's Good NBH Tool you'll be using (start your search with that if you want to go down that road).
Thanks for the quick reply
By "archive" do you mean this?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
So I guess my rom should be this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298541
It also matches my ROM and Radio version.
There's just one thing I don't understand... I looked at the WM6 guides on mrvanx.org, which show many many steps. Are you saying that I could just grab the latest original HTC exe update and launch it and it would update everything? And still only launch another exe to revert to the old stuff?
Then why do people take the risk and flash all the components separately? Just to use homemade roms?
Thanks
No, it's about the CID (area and carrier-specific idintifier) of your phone.
Your phone'll accept your old rom back because it's from the right country and carrier.
'Cooked' roms aren't the 'right' one for your phone and so you have to alter the phone so it won't care which rom you use. That's what all the messing about before installing wm6 is basically all about - to convince your phone that any CID is fine.
Similarly, I use OrangeUK as my provider and the phone 'wants' a hermes rom from them. Thusly you can't just download and use the latest HTC rom as it's not got the CID code your phone wants. Once you've used the OliPro software you'll be able to use all the roms you like.
The 'archive' is exactly what yopu found there, aye. With downloads coming in zips and rars I shouldn't have called that page the archive, soz.
As to the right rom, I wouldn't like to say, but if it's right country, carrier, radio and rom then you're laughing, download it and tuck it away safe.
Mine for example is the OrangeUK (ORANG001) one. The one with the AKU in bold. So that's been on my laptop since day one of having my hermes.

Ok that wes pretty clear
Let me just see if I got it right.
To go WM6:
- Upgrade CID to an unlocked version
- Either
1. Use HTC official exe upgrade, which updates ROM, ExtROM and Radio
or
2. Update Radio first and then ROM+ExtROM with a custom version
To revert to Vodafone WM5:
It's not assured that my radio can be safely downgraded (http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=27), so:
- Use Dutty's tool to extract my Vodafone ROM+ExtROM (no Radio) from the exe
- Downgrade SPL (not mandatory)
- Flash Vodafone ROM+ExtROM
Kinda?...
Yep, kinda!
But if you're planning to upgrade to WM6 with the correct VODAFONE release for your device you do not need to CID unlock your device and all that crap!
Sorry, I am not trying to confuse you!
Here an example:
Lets say you have an HTC Hermes from Vodafone UK with WM5 on there!
If Vodafone UK provides you an WM6 upgrade on their site (or if you find it in the 'archive' here in the Wiki then you do not have to CID unlock but you can run the upgrade without doing anything more than downloading the ROM and running it.
After you upgraded with the Vodafone UK WM6 you can 'downgrade' again with the Vodafone UK WM5 without any problems - even here a CID unlock is not necessary! Both ROMs contain the same CID code because of they are from the same provider.
A CID unlock is only necessary if you are planning to flash your device with ROMs which are not from your network provider, as example you want to flash a Hermes ROM from O2 UK to your Vodafone UK device. O2 UK is a different network provider and has a different CID code. Therefore your phone would refuse the upgrade and give you an error message WRONG VENDER ID!
CID unlock will trick your phone and it just does not care anymore about the VENDER ID (CID code) submitted by the ROM you're trying to flash!
The best way for you to play around with that stuff for a while might be to use SOFT_SSPL.exe to temporarely 'CID unlock' your phone. If you think that you really need it permanently CID unlocked because of you're going to flash it a lot then download the Hermes_Unlocker_3a which will do the job for you!
Please keep in mind that you will lose all data in your device when flashing!
Thanks again, and no, you are not confusing me
In fact, the only reason why I skipped that solution is because there's no official WM6 upgrade from Vodafone IT
Actually I like that SOFT_SSPL.exe thingy... Does it mean that my CID is unlocked just for the time of flashing or what?
And... it seems that you talk about CID and SPL like if they were the same thing... what's the difference?
Thx
Yes.
You will have to copy the soft.sspl.exe to your pda and run it from there. Just have your stuff ready for flashing before doing so.
The soft_sspl.exe is not writing anything to your ppc permanently. After flashing it is gone.
Please read the UPGRADING FOR BEGINNERS section in the Wiki carefully, even about bootloaders and all that crap before starting to flash!
TAKEN FROM THE HERMES WIKTIONARY in the Wiki section:
CID
The CID (Carrier ID) of the device is a setting which determines which carrier ROMs should be allowed to run on the device, a table of valid CIDs can be found in the wiki pages. All bootloaders (apart from HardSPL and SSPL) will only allow a ROM with the correct CID to be flashed onto the device. A device which has been CID unlocked will have 'SuperCID' which allows ANY ROM to be loaded onto the device, SuperCID also unlocks the Ext_ROM and allows it to be mounted.
SPL
See Bootloader.
SSPL
SSPL is a modified bootloader (by Des) which is loaded into RAM when run, this allows us to overwrite any aspect of the ROM, Radio or Bootloader far easier than using mtty. See the official thread for more info.
Do be aware that almost everyone ignores SSPL and upgrades their bootloader and SuperCIDs their phone with the OliPro software.
Although I always use SSPL myself, that's only because I keep a 'safety-net' copy of my own provider's most recent official ROM on my storage card. That way if I naff up the upgrade to wm6 and 'brick' my phone, I can easily restore it to out of the box condition without a PC.
(If you were thinking about using SSPL to avoid altering your bootloader - and remember you'd be going against the grain on this one - can I at least recommend you go here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing and set yourself up a HERMIMG.nbh on your microsd card before considering it? You don't want to go from all excited to gutted and no hermes.)

Thanks for this really helpful advice!
I'll try to do some research on this option before doing anything, just to make sure that I know all the options before taking a definite road...
I still need to figure out what are the disadvantages of going HardSPL instead of using SSPL every time and if it's worth to update the radio firmware to the latest version, instead of just keeping my own.
If all radio functions seem good and reliable you could leave the radio upgrade.
On a 'new radio version' thread try to find any references from a user from your own country, region within that country and provider as regards any radio versions. each new one is simply the most recent that a provider somewhere has brought out. the latest version number by no means that any given phone on X provider in X region of X country will be improved. It could easily be worsened.
Another way to do it, and very long-winded, is to flash the latest radio and, if dissatisfied, go backward thorugh the versions till you get it performing satisfactorily.
If you're happy wwith your radio performance don't change it tbh. Just my opinion on that, some people may differ.

HardSPL will be permanently written (hard-coded) to your phone! This can be a problem if you have to mail in your phone for service! You would lose your warranty!
SSPL is just temporary for the moment. It executes from the RAM until the flash job is finished. Afterwards it is gone!
BTW: I made some experiments on my 8525:
It was not very difficult to 'undo' HardSPL! I simply took my original shipped ROM image file (nbh) and flashed it entirely with CustomRUU - afterwards HardSPL was gone.
If I ever get a new device I will use SSPL only. All you have to do, is, to copy it to your SD card and run it when you want to flash your device. That makes it only 1 more step compared to having your phone HardSPLed ...
Mmm, considering both your answers, I might go for SSPL, at least for the first time.
I thought that the official HTC update contained also a new radio version, so there should be no difference between carriers... that's a point that confuses me a bit.
I mean, are there HTC radios as opposed to Vodafone radios and so on?

Vogue Stuck at HTC Screen

Hey Guys,
I was trying to flash ToO's Cricket Rom to an HTC Sprint Vogue and after the process was finished it is stuck on the "HTC Smart Mobility" screen. I used an unlocker by cokeman before flashing I I think I need to re-lock the handset to flash it back to the original sprint ROM. However I need the older sprint rom and not the new one with GPS. When I put the phone in bootloader mode this is what it says:
It says:
VOGU100
SPL-0.41 Coke
CPLD-3
Where can I get the older ROM for the sprint vogue?
Update:
I am not able to load the original Sprint ROM. It errors out everytime at about 29%

Check PPCGeeks, there is a thread with factory ROM's.
Try doing this check your registry under HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Arcosoft\ArcSoft MMS UA\Config\mm1\MMSCsettings\make sure you only have one entry: Cricket MMS if you have another named Default or Sample, delete them and then try again; if it fails Delete all, soft re-boot and then install your ROM. Good luck.

I'm a little confused on the issue. If you want to flash roms with GPS you need to be unlocked with Imcokes 2.31 not 0.41 unlocker. Once unlocked you can flash to the stock roms. I flash back to Sprints stock GPS rom all the time. Be careful of flashing from a GPS rom back to a non GPS rom. This could cause some issues.
If you are trying to relock your phone thats a different issue.
EDIT: After rereading. Did you try flashing from a non gps rom to a gps rom or vice versa? Your phone looks to be unlocked with a non-gps unlocker. Is the cricket rom GPS?
When flashing a custom ROM your Vogue needs to be unlock with 2.31 (GPS) or .40 (non GPS). Not too sure about cricket but would assume if you have a radio version of 3.xx.xx would be GPS. Hopefully you have not bricked your Vogue.
You may find more help at ppcgeeks.com or ppchaven.com.
You may have to resort flashing your ROM in the bootloader mode,
SAME PROBLEM with Vogue
I think I have the same problem as the one who started this thread. here is what I did:
I unlocked a Vogue with the non-gps unlocker (SPL-0.41.Coke)
then I loaded a GPS rom onto the phone (OMJ 3.09)
and now it is stuck at the HTC Screen.
I then tried to flash a stock ROM to the phone, but as descreibed above it will not fully load- it stops at 29 percent- tried it a couple times.
I then tried the OMJ 3.09 again and it still stuck in HTC Screen, and says "No radio.'
I am trying to figure out what to do. I was told by someone to load a GPS radio into it and see if it boots. I have the radio to install but not sure if thats best bet.
I was told by someone else to install nongps radio and then install a nongps rom.
One concern I have is that I will brick my phone that way (if i try to downgrade to a nongps radio after installing a gps rom...but im not sure that the gps rom actually installed a gps radio or not cuz my phone was only .41 unlocked)
Also, I cant seem to install a stock rom because it stops at 29 percent.
Any ideas?
Thanks
found answer
to anyone else with this problem- I just installed this rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=357762
and all was well including radio.
Just thought that I would post what happened to my phone and the steps that eventually recovered it in case it helps somebody else:
My phone was stuck with "No Radio" on the boot loader screen and the SPL as "SPL-2.31.CoKe", but none of the 3.x ROMs would flash properly that I tried. So here are the steps that eventually recovered it (mostly...):
1.) I installed the ROM above from the tri-color screen (power+camera+reset). I still had no radio, but it was letting me past this and booting up to WM.
2.) I then re-flashed the 2.31.CoKe boot loader (not sure if this step is necessary but listing what worked...)
3.) I tried to install RUU_Vogue_VZW_WWE_3.14.605.1_Radio_3.37.78_Ship.exe but it failed at 10% restarting to RUUNBH screen and the installer gave me Error [290]: Invalid Command
4.) I then tried to install the latest sprint ROM straight from the HTC site:_Touch by HTC (Sprint)_RUU_PPST_Vogue_SPRINT_WWE_3.03.651.4_2_Radio_3.42.30_AM_NV_2.04_Ship this looked like it was going to fail at the same part the Verizon rom did as it rebooted at 10% to RUUNBH screen, but the Sprint installer did something (I heard the computer lose and gain connection multiple times) and eventually it went right back and continued on from 11% and finished successfully.
5.) Rebooted and I had a radio now! Rather then risking trying to install the Verizon ROM again I went straight to the custom ROM I had originally started out with: NFSFAN 6.5 V6 which is working fine for me, except the GPS which is what started out my adventure of the last 3 days...
Just a note: for all flashes except the final one I simply waited till it was at the "Tap the screen..." stage till flashing. I never let any ROM but the final one run it's customization.

Upgrading Rom of already upgraded Uni... Unlock again?

So, I got my hand on an Uni G4 (xda exec) that has 6.5 on it... I want to downgrade to the Tmo UK WM5 rom.
How do I know if I have to unlock the sim and cid (again)?
Under what circumstances would the sim and/or cid be re-locked (after it had been unlocked)?
And how do I know if I should do a DOC format? I see that there are a few ROMs that once installed require a DOC format if you want to change the ROM again.
And I did search the forums first, and could find the answers I need. I'm still checking up on the ROM that is currently installed on my Uni - 5.2.23016 (5.3.0 Luca16)
TIA!
Once it has flashed the 1st cooked ROM it has to be full unlocked, no need to do it again so you can downgrade without any problem os locking sim.

[Q] Htc Desire HD install JellyTime ROM

Hy everyone. I want to install Jelly time ROM r10 based on cm10 and unlock SIM but i dont know how to s-off and downgrade radio .
In this pictures are my mobile phone software information. Please help me.
Hello,
I don't know why you'd like to get S-OFF and downgrade the radio version to put JellyTime on your DHD. But here are some clues.
I had exactly the same Android/Sense/Kernel/Radio versions before flashing for the first time a custom ROM on my DHD. I put JellyTime R8, and everything worked fine, except that GPS needed a trick to work properly (you can check the following messages here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=41826783&postcount=10)
I used this tutorial to get rid of Gingerbread + Sense: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2168500
And as it leaves you with an S-ON device, you need to use "fastboot" tool on your computer to flash the boot.img after having flashed the custom ROM from CWM or Ext4.
I stopped there and my DHD with JellyTime R8 works fine.
Though getting S-OFF seems to be a bit more complicated, but these threads might help you:

Those are all the threads I kept on hand in case I needed it to flash radio to fix the GPS, so I can't tell you if it works or not.
To SIM-unlock your phone, your service provider/mobile operator may provide you with the steps to follow for free and without voiding any warranty (depending on law and rules in your country). I would do it before modifying anything on the phone, even if install a custom ROM and SIM-unlock the phone are supposed to be independent.
Thanks man i try it

Have you tried to contact your mobile operator?
