Hello everyone -
Newbie here at this stuff, and I was wondering if I can download the Universal ROM AKU3.5 and install it on my Verizon XV6700 phone?
Thanks.
P.S: Universal means it's for everyone? or is it another brand like HTC, Apache, etc.

Universal is a BRAND, just as Apache is a BRAND.
I suggest you read the Apache Wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Apache
Not much info on there right now, but it will get you started. Also, do a forum search for the Apache or the XV6700 to find out if other owners are successfully able to flash to a new ROM and the steps they took to do it.
Good Luck!!
Thanks for the reply, one question though, you mentioned about new ROM for XV6700 over Apache forum, and I'm assuming u mean the Sprint AKU2.2 ROM right? If so I already got it flashed in my Verizon XV6700 and working now. What i'm interested in is the AKU3.x ROM. Is it possible at this moment?
Thanks.
That's a question you'll need to answer yourself from reading the thread that has the ROM you want to flash to. Each ROM has it's own prerequisites for a successful upgrade, so I wouldn't even want to presume to know whether you can or can't.
Here's the link to Molski's AKU3.2 ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=286988
However, it's in the Wizard upgrade section, so you might not be able to use it on your Apache. The only way to know for sure is to read the ENTIRE thread to see if you could use it on your device.
If so, FOLLOW THE DIRECTIONS EXACTLY!!
If it's a Verizon phone, it is not GSM based, therefore it is TOTALLY different from the Wizard, and most other HTC devices.
If you can't do it yourself, learn. If you can't learn, wait for someone else to do it, and find out from them.
Now go have fun!
I can't really find much discussion on this, or any other boards for this.
Anyone think WM6.1 will be coming to the BJII or if it's hackable to work on it?
I have no idea how to go about it, so all I can do is request it....

dump the rom ... find a way to do bootloader mode .... maybe somebody can help porting it
if u hv time & willing to try, see thread on
how to dump rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=238945&highlight=dump+rom+tool
bootloader ---> cant help on that
kitchen : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=309549
Take a look over at http://www.txcaesar.net
We have WM6.1 working on the BJ1, I have no BJII device to test with however
Also, I have posted there in the forum an itsutils script to automate dumping of the ROM, and also a copy of the dumped ROM
txcaesar? Aren't you the ones that were charging for the MPx200 upgrade that I had for free at mpxupgrade? Or were you the ones that helped me get it up and offer it for free?
Anyway, thanks for the link. Looks like the BJII has been dumped and uploaded to your site. I have no idea how to progress from there, but if no one does it before easter /summer break, guess I may give it a try then...
Charging for a ROM upgrade? I find the notion amusing.. (I would never do that)
I could cook up a BJII ROM, but i have no device to test with, and so far no one else is crazy enough to risk bricking their device

I'm willing to try if you want to create a ROM for the BJII
does flashing a rom unlock the device as well ?
i had got a at&t blackjack2 and i looking at unlocking it.
any help
typically the phone must be unlocked before cooked ROM could be flashed.
To my knowledge there isn't a free option available to unlock the i617 yet.
Hey, guys, has anything happened with this? I too would love to upgrade. Based on prior experience, AT&T won't be releasing an official upgrade for another 4-6 months.
Someone needs to give MOHBY a hand extracting the ROM from his i617(thread below) and we will all be happy campers.

hello guys
i have the HTC Touch Diamond (p3700) from rogers, and i was wondering since the phone is locked to the rogers network, is it possible for me to install a custom rom on the phone?? or do i have to do the sim unlock to do that??
sorry, this might be a noob question but i need the question answered as i had the O2 Xda Mini S before my HTC which was unlocked and this is the first time i actually purchased a phone from rogers since i get all my phones from out canada
thanks for your help guys, really appreciate it
i have a rogers HTC diamond as well.. and its got the winmob 6.1 5.2.19965 build 1.2.3 Year 2008.. the HTC website doesnt let me download the feb 2009 firmware as the device is not suitable..
a few simple Noob questions please..
1 - its working in my country with other network sims, all of them but the phone strartup says rogers... is my cell unlocked or not?
2 - will Hard Spl remove everytrace of rogers from my phone? (i actually wana debrand it from rogers to plain standard retail version)..
3 - Will any firmare upgrade using hardspl method work on my cell?.. and what will happen to the orignal FW? will it be erased permanently, or will it still be stored in a secret storage, so that it can be retrieved later when i plan to sell it later and rest to factory defaults?
Again, as a newcomer and a noob at the Xda dev scene, i would apreciate any kind of help .
thanks in anticipation..

Hi,
As far as I know, you should be able to install any ROM you want.
But make sure you have flashed Hard-SPL Olinex Unsigned,
just try the link in my sig and follow steps 6 - 11.
You still need an unlocker to make it possible using other networks though.

1. Yes your phone is unlocked, but you are using a rogers customized ROM. Try a different ROM to remove it.
2. No, Hard-SPL will not remove it. You'll need to flash another ROM to do that.
3. Firstly, if you are flashing/upgrading a new firmware (we call it ROM) then all data will permanently removed.
There are some packs to revert your ROM back to stock, but I don't know if there are any Rogers ROM's available on the net.
I hope I have answered all your questions.
Good luck both!

hey thanks a lot for the reply, finally someone replies, and this method will not brick my phone right?? since that is what scares me the most the fact that i mite end up bricking my phone
Thanks a lot Elcondor.. it solved half of my problems..
the only thing is,, i tried the 6.5 Prototype rom and rogers sill show up on the startup screen.. i flashed the splash screen, and still the lower 100pixels appear pink, out of no where..
and i simply wana DEBRAND the whole **** of rogers from it, so that i can upgrade the 2.0.0.00 rom version to the HTC official 2.0.43 version, but evertime i download from there, and try updating it, it says, Model ID not compatible..
is there a way to remove the entire rogers crap from it, and get it cleaned like a retail version?...
Thanks a lot sir..

No, it shouldn't brick your phone. In fact, Hard-SPL makes your device hardly brickable. Just try it, you will not be dissapointed. But, it's not my responsabillity if you brick you diamond, keep that in mind.

The splash screen is a harder part to do. You need Patchsplash to patch your splash screen. In that way, the splash screen should appear right. Note that the procedure to do that is pretty hard. Here are some more instructions if you didn't get it.
And about a Diamond stock ROM, take a look here. A 2.03.4 ROM including a new radio and the splash screen.
Good luck guys!

No prob my friend, xda-devs is to help each other.
To recommend a ROM is pretty hard, since there are very different kind of ROMs available.
Do you want a ROM with full Diamond2 experience, without WM 6.5(.x) try Gen. Y D2 R4.
Or, do you prefer a light WM6.5(.x) ROM, try BSB 6.5.1. It is pretty fast and light.
In a short time, I am going to release a 6.5.1 ROM (called Condor GT), with very nice graphics and still very fast.
Just give some a shot and you'll soon find out which ROM is the best.
BTW All the ROMS given in this thread are better that stock ROMs, just to be clear

Hello all,
Sorry for such a noob question but I have been searching a while and haven't found anything. I am having problems with some of the applications on a TP2 since I have upgraded to the standard 6.5 rom from T-Mobile. Does anyone know where I can download and revert it back to 6.1 T-Mo shipping rom as the programs given to the user for their job won't run on the newer and would like to go back. Thank you for any help or direction you could provide on this.
Please, next time look in the ROM thread there is downloads to get you your stock ROM back but, I give you the link .

Your questions would likely be answered quicker if you asked this in the android installation thread. People there are dealing with android specifically.
On a side note. I used the cab to install android on my phone and it was pretty simple. Ran the cab... followed the directions in the first post of the thread we're talking about and it was up and running.
You need to download the installation cab from this thread exactly. Read through... it's all really simple. If you still cant figure it out ask in the thread and someone will help.

Go to AT&T's website, and download the latest ROM for your device, and flash it. Once you've done that, try installing the XDAndroid cab again.

I have been all over AT&T's website and can find no software specific to the Tilt 2 - they always want to redirect me to the HTC website, which only has the latest update available for download. Please advise, Obi Wan.

What's wrong with the software on HTC's website? It should be the same thing.
There's no full ROM on either site - just an update on HTC:

OK, so that's a full ROM and not just an update? That's my question.

Stop spamming the thread. I just replied to you. Follow the instructions and do some reading for yourself. No one here is going to spoon feed you. If you show that you're putting in the effort to fix your own problems, then most members of the community will bend over backwards to help you out.
