hello all, I currently have a tilt and am looking to upgrade to a cooked rom. I have my old 8525 Hermes/win 5 that I wanted to upgrade first (to get used to process) before bricking my tilt. I've done much reading & found all the hrd splsh & CID info for my Kaiser but not sure what to use for my 8525.
Can anyone pls, give me link to best hrd splsh for my 8525 to use. If all goes well with my 8525 im going to move on to my tilt. Any advice or warnings would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance!
Srry folks, I've found what I'm looking for. I THINK! Trying it now. If this is wrong guide pls advice!

It's the right one .
Great... Hrd Splsh was successful! Now I'm off to the races. Just not sure what race to begin with... Any advice on most popular cooked rom to begin with.
And any tips greatly appreciated.
Depends on you... if you want something to play with, try the latest ROMs from TAI (Hero V3) and +QuePPC (Moonspell B2).
Sweet, Found the downloads for those roms! Much appreciated!!!
Do I do the same process as I did to hrd splsh my phone? If not do you know of quick quide to explain steps?
And do you know if that same hrd splsh that I just did will work on my tilt as well?
Just double-click on the RUU_Wrapper.exe and follow the steps, that's it. I'd recommend you to go into bootloader mode first (press and hold power and OK button on left side and reset with stylus) and then connect to your PC, I think it's more reliable .
Every device has its own HSPL.
thxs, I've upgraded to win 6 stripped rom first as QuePPC recommended but when I try to download one of his roms rapid share says the dowload has reached it's limit of 10 and is unavailable. I did find one that was available. I'm going to try it, but in the folder it has a ruwrapper & romupdate utility. I am supposed to click the ruwrapper correct? If so how & when do you use the update utility?
It's all uploaded to MediaFire, isn't it? I'd recommend the latest 28008 if you want a 6.5.x ROM.
And there should be only two files, RUU_Wrapper.exe and ruu_signed.nbh. All other files are automatically generated after you choose the SPL version, perhaps it's a mistake, anyway you don't need to bother about the other file.
BTW you don't need to wait for the customization of the AT&T ROM to finish, just enter the bootloader immediately after you flashed it, saves a lot of time .
I dowloaded Mirion B4 Plain...... ran ruwrapper and Hermes is now modified for first time in 3 years! Sad I know!!! Pretty cool, yet it is plain..... Was first one I could find available from his links... here is the site he has listed...
http://www.techparaiso.com/roms/htc-tytnhermes-queppc/
Well im going to do it a couple more times then attemt the grandaddy of them all "for me that is" moding my tilt. If I brick it the wife will "Brick" me! LOL
I do appreciate all your help you were extremely friendlyl and not rude like many of the replies I've read to noobs.
Thanks again,
newtiltguy
The 28008 are listed at the top... anyway, try for yourself (and give +Que some feedback in his thread).
No problem, man .
If you the SDCard method I can almost guarantee that you won't have to worry about bricking any device! Flashing via USB cable is always risky 10x more if you are flashing a Radio or a ROM with the Radio in.
As long as you installed Hard SPL V7.... ;D

Hi all
My first post as a new MDA PRO owner HTC universal if I am not mistaken.
My question is that I am with Vodafone UK and am tying to flash my device with their latest ROM downloaded from their site.
I keep on getting the following message from the setup program i.e. "ERROR 120 COUNTRY CODE ERROR" 38-38-44-44-44.
What am I doing wrong as I thought these machines were all the same! Or is it just an attempt by Vodafone to stop me from putting their ROM on a Tmobile phone. If it is is there a work around?
Thanks in advance
Brian.
There are 2 ways to get it working.
1. Use MaUpgradeNoID Utility
2. Change some parameters with BAL666's HTC64 Tool
If you search the forum you should normally be able to find a manual for this.
If not, do not hesitate to use the Wiki:
wiki.xda-developers.com
section Universal
Thanks for that much appreciated
As I am new to this I think must be missing something as I have tried using MAUpgradeUT_NoID with no luck. I have also seen on the threads here about MAUpgradeUT_NoID_886 but cant find a download link for it.
If someone could give me a real idiots guide would be most grateful.
All done managed to get my thick head around it.
Just like to say what a great site this is and reminds me of early Psion days.
check buzzdev.net register there and go to the download page.
If you know something about computers, then try to reset the parameters. this was working for me! the NoID.exe doesn't look for these parameters, but that doesn't worked out for me.
hi,what file should i download to upgrade my phone. Either to a WM6,or a WM5 latest edition. whatever is better.
any help is much appriciated.
P.S. is there any chance to brick my phone?

In reverse order - yes, there is a chance that you will brick your phone. You should read the wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
If you start there, you will minimise your chances of messing up in an expensive way (if you do it right, either you won't brick your phone or you'll already know the way out).
Next thing is have a scour through this forum. There are numerous issues and numerous ROMs. Some of the issues may be important to how you want / need to use your phone.
The latest ROM is from Jwrightmcps http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293902
although there is probably going to be an updated one soon. However, WM6 may not suit you (eg no video calling yet). You may prefer one of the WM5 ones - either AKU3.5 or 3.3. Again, it is just much easier if you spend some time reading the forum.
Hi guys, I am a serial lurker here for several years.. and finally decided to upgrade my vario 2 to shiny wm6. I have downloaded black 2.5 and wanted to find out it all works great and how to install....
i haven't made any other changes to my vario 2 so want to get this right first time!
I think you need to lurk (and read) a bit longer, this same question has already been asked today!
lol, I read that which sparked an interest in upgrading...
What I wanted to know was which was the "best version" to install and what was the best procedure to follow for tmob uk.. I have seen plenty that mention the usa networks but no instructions specifically for tmob..
I know that a lot of you guys have already done it, so I just wanted to pull at your experience and get a good safe method!!!
Put on the fire proof suit quickly my friend, I think it will get very hot very shortly.
Check the WIKI, look for custom rom upgrading and follow MrVanx's idiot proof guides.
Black 2.5 has a UK TMob version as well. The thread is fairly obvious.....
great thanks for the advice....
I will look for it.... would be handy to have a direct url for any other tmob users that come across this post...
I used vanx
I used vanx's update method to install the hard spl, and now my phone is stuck on the 4 colours and won't go any further......
Can anyone help?
His guide also has a what to do if things go wrong section IIRC?
Also, read all 74 pages of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
phew I was lucky, I only needed to reset as it was stuck in bootloader. however when I try to instal hard spl it gives me a request to run enterbl.exe which when I run it, resets the device immediately into a boot loader screen (the colors) and doens't update the firmware...
Have you got all the necessary .net framework stuff installed?
Presume you are using XP not Vista.
i'm still using black 2 but will be upgrading to black 2.5 over the next few days when i have time. I'm also on t-mobile uk and although i havn't tried either the standard black2.5 or the t-mobile one, it'll be the standard version I install as i'd rather keep my phone clean from any t-mobile stuff. Thats just me though.
.net framework? I have looked all over and can't see any reference to it.. can you clarify??
edit:sorry am runnig latest 2.0 version

You need .net framework 2. If you havent got it, download from microsoft. You should read MrVanx guide
You will need to wait for one of the gurus to look in then I am afraid - I followed the guide and it all worked for me.....
T-Mobile - UK W'n'W
I've bitten the button and upgraded both my rom and radio and so far so good
Check this thread, it helped me when I was stuck on bootloader:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
thanks for the message, however I am back in the os... I think it must be some type of software lock.... does t-mob application lock their devices?
Hi, dont know about t-mobile, but I know Orange uk lock their's. However I followed Mr Vanx's excellent guide on the hermes wiki & have flashed a few times with no problems so far. Currently running Black 2.5 (excellent), with no issues.
I use
t-mob and hermes adn black 2.5. Absolutely great.
haven't bothered with the specific t-mobile flavoured rom, but downloaded a cab file which you won't need which oads the settings for mms and other such "treats" like that.
Have used black since 1.0 and think it's great, and continues to get better.
Hey there,
I'm on my 4th Vogue from bell, and have had horrific luck with this phone. A friend steered me towards this site in hopes of increasing my pleasue with the device. He has told me:
"1. Flash the 3.09 Bell firmware
2. Unlock it (ImCokeMan 2.31)
3. Flash NFS ROM 1.20
4. Load apps that make it look nice. I.e. S2U2, a custom dialer.
It fixed quite a few issues. And a plus is that now you can load Garmin Mobile XT on it and use it as a GPS."
I downloaded the NFS rom 1.20 - I'm unsure how to unlock with IMcokeman 2.31. Can someone walk me through this?
I'm not a computer noob, I've built all my own systems etc - just new to this device. Your patience is appreciated!
Cheers,
Dave
well now that wasnt so tough - seems i've figured it all out. Time to start adding apps!
cheers,
Dave

I am running NRGz 21855 Dec 31st Standard build and it is pretty sweet. A few bugs but it is still nice. NRG also puts out another TP2 ROM which is less than bleeding edge but more stable codenamed Pheonix. Also sense 2.8 (used to be called Manila) has recently been released for the Leo so we will see it baked into Roms including the above listed one very soon!
Omg kroniced thank you to for repling, Im having a hard time with this, there is a good chance im going to be asking for help. Thanks alot for the link man, I really mean it.

So what exactly happens when you run Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3.EXE? Is it a connection error, a program error, a device error? If you have a Tilt2, you probably need to install this to your device before you run the executable. BTW, you're not backing up your device with HardSPL, you're replacing the stock, HTC bootloader with a patched bootloader, a process which you only need to do once. It's also not necessary to back up your device before flashing a new ROM, it's just recommended if you have important stuff saved to main memory, since you lose all the data on your device each time you flash. You will not lose data when installing HardSPL with this executable.
Hay thanks for reasponeding DaveTheTytnIIGuy, here is what the error seys, "ERROR
[246] Device not reasponding" -"The update utillity cannot get respones from your PDA phone. Please check that your USB cradle/cable is connected properly between the pc and your PDA phone. And also check your PDA phone."
Now my phone is connected, im possitive it synced as well. I dont know why is seys that. As far as anything I have on my phone just all my numbers, the rest are things like music witch i can put back on, but thats on my 8 gig memory card.
I down loaded the link named "this" to my comp. How do I get them on my phone, extraced them to my phone?? Not really sure how or what to do.

A .cab is an installer, just like an EXE or MSI on a desktop computer. Don't uncompress it, just put the .cab file as is onto your device, disconnect your device from the computer, browse to wherever you put it with File Explorer Mobile, and open it. Install it to internal memory and you're done. Also, try disabling your Antivirus/Firewall and ensure you have Windows Mobile Device Center (Vista/7) or ActiveSync (XP and lower). And no offence, but you might want to hold off on flashing for a little while, at least until you get a bit more acquainted with Windows Mobile. I recommend that everyone who flashes their device at least understand the technical aspects, since that highly reduces chances of bricking as an end result.
DaveTheTyntIIGuy thank so much I did what u sed and i instolled it with no problems to my phone. You just helped me in a big way. Now I know how to download programes to my phone. So I think I have an idea how to do what i first came here to do. But your are rite 100%, I gotta get a understanding of this before I do anything so I dont screw up my phone. Thank you alot. So now that I downloaded the enablerapinew my phone is ready for when I decide to get a new interface on the phone like the Manila 2.5 / 2.8 / ext. ?
Get accustomed to you phone by doing the minor cabs and tweaks found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524655
Most of this stuff is harmless and will get you use to using cabs and changing things on your phone.

No, that .cab enables RAPI (Remote API) on the Tilt2, which allows programs like the HardSPL unlocker, on the PC, to control the device to an extent, which it needs to do in order to flash HardSPL.
Hi, How can I get the actual version of manila running on my Tilt 2
Thanks
It's listed in this key in your registry:

minor correction: HKLM\Software\HTC\Manila\Version
On the stock Tilt2, the version is 2.1.19183217.0
Note that this can also be seen by looking at the About section of the Settings tab in TF3D.
This is awsome DaveTheTytnIIGuy, the programe you sent me worked. I was suscussfully able to flash my HardSPL, with Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3. Thank you. So now I'm up to the next step witch is finding a ROM.
Is it possible to get Manila without flashing a cooked rom or is manila a cooked rom? I guess what I am asking is Can you get Manila as a CAB file or do you have to flash it as a ROM?

The only way to get a different version of Manila is to change ROMs. If you're using the stock ROM, you'll need to switch to a cooked ROM to get one of the newer versions of Manila.
