Hi. Currently my phone's running on Windows Mobile 6.5 but it's not the official released ROM from HTC Support page. I wanna know if it's fine to download the official one from HTC and install it on my phone; which is also WM 6.5.
Thanks.

You should be able to flash back to your stock ROM. Is your phone an unlocked version from HTC or is it a branded version from a carrier? Also if you have hardspl your phone then you can flash any ROM you want..
what phone version do you have? On your phone, what kind of rom is it? Stock rom or cooked rom?

I don't know how to check my phone version. The ROM I got on now you mean? I'm pretty sure it was a cooked ROM. I got it from that page which shows countries and WM 6.5 versions. I can't find it anymore though. But I just chose the closest one from there.
Dont worry just flash the rom you like to try!

How do I check if it's GSM or CDMA? And if I install the official ROM and remove HardSPL, (for warranty and services purposes) would it still be fine? And yes, sorry if I'm being nubby...

@ the above: Not true, CDMA TP2's are WORLDWIDE which means they have a SIM-slot aswell.
To the OP: If you want to know what kind of device you have, it's pretty simple. Do you put a sim-card in your cellphone? If yes, which operator/carrier? Where are you located?

Yes its GSM (which is the only service provided in saudi arabia and most middle eastern countries)
And yes you can flash to any rom if your device is HardSPL, just make sure its a GSM rom and not a CDMA one.
If you say you got the rom from the page with countries and 6.5 versions, those are official rom releases ( http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/Shipped_Roms ) not cooked roms.

YES! That's the link! I see, but at the time when I flashed my ROM with one of those, it wasn't the official release for my phone because I went to the HTC site and they didn't have it for Middle East yet. Now that they do, I wanna get that official one instead and then remove HardSPL for warranty and stuff just in case.
go ahead and download the official HTC rom for your device and flash it.
As for restoring the original SPL head over to the hardSPL thread and the steps to restore are at the end of the second post.

Thank you sooo much but another question though. The first step on removing HardSPL is flashing the stock ROM. Does that mean I have to flash my phone with its original ROM? Or is it fine with the one that I'm gonna put; which is the official 6.5 from HTC?

Hello,
I bought a new fantastic TouchPro2 Orange-branded.
I would like to install the lastest official no-brand ITALIAN ROM WM6.1 from the HTC website.
But I cannot download it because my serial number is associated to the Orange phones.
Can you help me to find this ROM or give me a valid serial number (so that I can use it again as soon as HTC will release the official WM6.5 ROM)?
Thank you in advance to all.

Sorry for ignorance: if is the official HTC Rom, why do I need to installa HARD SPL?
your phone is set to only allow Orange ROMs - I think it's the CID
if you install HardSpl it allows you to flash ROMs not intended for your device and they also don't need to be signed
if you SIM-unlock your device using this forum you'll have the option to change the CID of your device - this will allow you to use any signed ROM even without HardSpl
but as I'm new to all this please wait till someone more experienced verifies this post
I think the previous Orange ROM was better than the official HTC ROM, anyway it was in english so this one is OK for me.
I'm looking forward to the official release of the WM6.5 HTC ROM !

Welcome to forums

Good luck,
So is this leaked ? Yes ! Has anyone actually done it?
I wrote something about it... on here
The ROM contain a final unbranded RTM build of “NoDo” ready to be flashed to devices. The latest leak is a HTC 7 Pro ROM for European devices. WPCentral sends news that Windows Phone enthusiasts at XDA-developers posted a ROM image the HTC 7 Pro on Wednesday. The ROM upgrades the device to the final version of “NoDo” ahead of Microsoft’s release. The site has also previously supplied ROMs for the HTC 7 Mozart, HTC HD7 and HTC 7 Trophy. All leaked ROMs are unbranded European versions, which do not include carrier customizations. Owners wishing to flash the leak updates will need to use a “Gold Card” method to bypass a “VENDER ID” error. Some users have reported success by flashing original carrier ROMs and then simply switching out the raw update file. The process is not ideal for the average user but those wishing to pursue unofficial methods can find the links above. Download link (this yet has not been tested)
thats almost the right way to promote your site, now you only need a real url
and yes we did it, all we need now is some developer/side-load unlock
Yes
Hi markomarkogame
Yes, I have done it. I have flashed the Orange UK 1.30 ROM to my Orange UK HTC 7 Mozart. It flashed without the need for anything complicated such as a gold card.
I haven't done much with the phone yet but it does seem slightly smoother in terms of the animations. Also it has copy and paste and differentiated marketplace search.

Sorry to ask this like a month later, but I had a similar question as the OP. Why wouldn't it be possible if I only wanted to use my phone in Europe on the GSM bands? I've been using it with a ROM for the international phones and it works fine. But I was also wondering if I could flash the newest firmware and 4.4.3 upgrade to use some of the newer ROMs for the international versions, like ARHD 10.2.

I don't think you can convert it over to the international edition, although I could be wrong, since some of the partitions, firmware, and actual hardware (like the CDMA receiver) are different. Given how buggy just some of the ROMs are with the int'l kernel built in, I would be worried about bricking the phone trying to actually convert it to be able to receive OTAs.
What you can do check out some of the ROMs that let you pick which variant to install. After you boot that up once, you'll probably need to reflash the stock VZW kernel (or read around and see if Verizon users got other kernels to work with the ROM). It's kind of trial and error. A lot of times I ended up without wifi or service until I found a kernel that worked.
For updates, (this part sucks) you'll have to wait for the Verizon phones to receive them in the US. Someone usually makes a set a files you can flash since we can't get the OTAs for VZW here and a lot of people don't want to go through the hassle of going back to close to stock to get them. Make a backup, flash those, and go on your way!
But, you'll have to follow the updates and such for VZW phones and then just use a ROM to make it like an int'l versions.
I've been running the int'l version of Paranoid Android and before that ARHD and it's been fine. I used venom and I think n8 before that but it would only install the VZW version so I had to use ROM Cleaner and take out a lot of crap. The roaming triangles were annoying enough that I gave up on venom even though I like the ROM.

You should only use custom ROMs that specifically support the Verizon variant. If the option is given in AROMA for carrier version (and VZN is one of those), its got nothing to do with what carrier/region you are located in, but refers to the version M8 you have, which is still Verizon. But you should check the specific ROM thread for details, comments by VZN version users, etc. as devs don't always setup AROMA the same way.
This thread is really old (almost 2 years) and we know a lot more now. FYI, I know its not what you specifically asked, but the topic of the thread is converting to Euro version by flashing firmware, RUU etc. And quite simply and frankly, do not attempt to flash Euro firmware, RUU, or change the CID/MID to do so. Flashing Euro firmware on the VZN variant will result in a radio brick, and the damage may be permanent!

Do you think flashing a US or T-Mobile firmware would help?
