Hi All, I've ordered euro version from amazon and they sent it to my relative there, who came here to egypt, now I found it is T-Mobile version, so I can't get arabic rom, or install programs, (when I do it says "can't be opened either not signed with a trusted certificate or one of the component can't be found), also I'm unable to sync, when I connect nothing happens although I have WMDC v 6.1, sorry for being noob but this is my 1st winmo device

If they sent you the wrong version, then they are at fault and should allow you to return the device for a refund or exchange it for the correct version. If you are at fault for not reading the list thoroughly enough, then your simplest recourse would be to learn to flash a custom ROM. This would allow you to install the language support you need. If that will be your direction, then read the thread HERE to learn what you need to do.
Thanks so much, no it's not my fault, it's their's but I'm now in egypt, and it's too hard for me to return it back, (also there's a few governmental problems here), most of the problems up are solved now, but I'll try to flash a custom ROM, so any suggestions on the best one that I can use with T-mobile version?

There's no such thing as a "best" one. There is a link in my signature that will point you to most of the ROMs available for this device, however. Basically, just flash different ROMs until you find something you like. Asking for the best ROM is like asking a stranger what the best pants are. It varies based on opinion.

i have just bought one 2nd-hand excalibur.It seemed normal at first but then when I got home, I access communication but I cant not turn on the wifi at any mean since there is no wifi icon on the screen. That's so helpless. Also, something weird that although i have the brand name of T-mobile but my rom is dopod c720 and it appear chinese word on the greeting screen everytime i boot up. I wondered that it is a fault rom, or it is because of my hardware. If it is cuz of my rom, can you guys show me how to modify or doing any mean to change to another rom. I am really annoyed with that chinese rom. Though i tried many way of flashing another rom but it always gives out the message of invalid model. Any help then. plz plz plz you guys. Really urgent. I am a bit regret of buying this "smart phone".
is it no way to help my belove c720. Or am I being fooled by buying the fake stuff
You might want to try to Hard Reset your device and see if the Wifi would be fixed..
How to Hard Reset?
Start - Accessories (Expert) - Clear Storage - Enter 1234
Hard Reset will wipe out all your data residing on the phone memory, so better backup first before proceeding. Data on the the Storage Card will remain intact and safe with a Hard Reset.
the hard reset was also tried out ages ago. But it seems not work
Just my 2 cent. in China they have no Wi-Fi version of Excalibur sold everythere. It appears that your device has been flashed with Chinese version . You shoud consider flashing your handset to firmware with known WI-FI support in it. I hope it helps.
P.S. Lets hope that your device didn't come from China and has no Wi-Fi chip in it at all. What is the model number of your handest? You can locate this information under the battery.
Good luck!
so i have to remove the battery first then look at the back of my excalibur. Then, which signal give me the information that it come from China or not. Does it have stuff like made in china or sthing like that. By the way, thx you guys very much for devotedly ansewred my questions. I'm newbie here so I need lots of help from u guys

Hello djlinh, I don't know if this helps you or not, but I bought my dopod C720W, (new) in Thailand and it comes with two languages that you can switch between, (English and Chinese). Just check your "SPACE" key to see if it has some Chinese letters, (in blue) on it. That's the way mine came. In any case my Wi-Fi worked fine with the original dopod WM5 ROM. I have since switched to the Russia, (WM6) ROM it working just as well, if not better. By the way I would recommend the Russia ROM . I've been using the Russia ROM for awhile now and to tell you the truth, I could care less if dopod comes out with an WM6 upgrade or not. I can't see it being any better than the Russia one. If you do go for the Russia ROM upgrade. I would suggest you read the various threads of this very helpful site and make some notes first. It will make things go a lot smoother for you. Cheers and good luck!
so can you guys get me a valid rom to flash. I tried to flash many of them but it became a failure. Can you do me a favor that give me a link work for my excalibur.

I own a Dopod C720 which is the version without WLAN. I know that the C720W has WLAN. Is it really a matter of the chip or could it just be based on the firmware whether WLAN is enabled or not?
In addition, I wish to flash the C720 to an all English version. The current version on my C720 is the Chinese/English version. A limited number of applications still only appear in Chinese characters in the English setting. Can someone tell me which version I need and where to get it from(send it)? I downloaded some RUUs but it seems that does not do the trick. e.g. there is still the Chinese operator logo which I do not like.
Thanks
Joscha
Sorry to bother you, I'm sure this info is somewhere (or if I understood it a bit better), but if someone could clear a few things up:
1) Have downloaded Hard-SPL 1.23, 1.34 and the latest version - is the newer better/more stable? Or I do have to use the one that matches the ROM I am flashing to?
2) If I want to do a cooked a ROM, will any of the versions of Hard-SPL listed above work for that too?
3) Is there an easy way to back up operator settings (internet, voice mail number etc?) Just got it so there's nothing else on it that needs backing up.
4) Offical ROMs are in .exe format, can I just install them on to my XDA?
Edit: Found the official ROMs, just required looking through several pages (sorry). Can anyone answer the other questions, especially how to back-up network settings.
For the mo I just want to get rid of the O2 branding.
Thanks for your time - have been a mod on several forums and I know you end up having to answer questions 20 times over.
Cheers,
Joe
Regarding Hard SPL, read here fully and carefully. It will tell you all you need to know.
With regards to ROMs, you could use the official ones but you will find AZTOR ROMs far superior. (AZTOR = Alpha Zero Tweaked Official ROM) or alternatively Shaks.P ROM in my signature which is set up for the UK. Both will automatically detect your network and use the correct settings and both are as stable as the original ROMs but with improved performance
I have a UK o2 xda ignito, and the only hard spl I have used is 1.93 from this thread.

Most of the modded roms can be flashed with the included utilities. But most of the official 2.03 roms can only be flashed from internal storage.
Any info you need can be found with the search function, with a little time.
All the best.

Responding To Questions:
1) It doesn't have to match your original SPL...if the one you have downloaded works then use it. Very few chefs recommend a specific Hard SPL with there ROM. But this is so rare.
2) if you want to flash a unsigned ROM then you need a developers edition Hards SPL.....or jocky's works as well....I personally use 1.93 so I recommend that one.
3) don't worry about backing up operators settings.....most of these roms come with a "Connection Setup" which allows you to select from a list of operators and it does everything for you. I also have a little app for this if your rom doesn't have this.
@Everyone: thanks for your help.
Will install the 1.93 Developers HSPL and see how that goes.
Can anyone recommend a ROM (don't want any visual tweaks)?
Thanks again
Asking such a question can close this thread .........
This is out of the respect of the chefs who work hard. Please refrain from this topic regarding best roms, etc.
Just try them out and read the threads.

I understand people have put a lot of hard work in and have taken a look at a few cooked ROMs, and fully intend to start cooking my own when (if) I have learned the skills.
However just got it and it has O2 branding, so i'd like to play with the original interface for a day or two before I start seeing what can really be done with the interface
Yeah, good idea, this will allow you to compare the true difference between a original and a cooked Rom. That is where one can begin to truly see how much better a cooked Rom is.
AZTOR version for UK?
Gonna try the AZTOR, looks like its got some solid improvements without affecting the UI, which version (WWE/GER) are using for the UK Mike?
Thanks again everyone, you've been a great help.
A mod can close this thread if you want now, got my problems sorted.
Thanks all.

I always use WWE, have tried lots of roms, but my fall back roms are usually shaks or udk.
currently trying the 6.5 roms. Cloudyfa's beta2 has a very fast manilla.
You won't have much spare time now you have started flasshing
Hi. I'm obviously a noob but I tried searching and looking in the posts and stuff. I'm an American living in Taipei. There are TP2s everywhere but they're all in Chinese, both Windows and HTC's Touch Flo are in Chinese. I've tried shopping in HK and Taiwan and can't find any in English.
What should I do? Should I get a Chinese TP2 and get an English version of WM6.1 and figure out a way to install an English Touch Flo? Or can one ROM fix it all? Or can I get something from you guys here that would just switch it to English? I really don't even understand what my options are.
I keep reading about HardSPLs and flashing the radios and I have no idea what's going on even after reading the noobie walk-though for first time Rom flashes. Is this like an android phone flash? You pick the "flavor" of OS you want and then load it up and you're good to go? Any advice would be appreciated! Even if it's just telling me what threads I didn't find that already answer this question.
From the looks of it, you guys probably have some kind of tweaked version of HTC's touch flo that runs better than the original and has more options? If that's right, that would be really cool to get. I'd like to use my phone for internet browsing and video viewing. Retaining Chinese-input would be a plus, but beggars can't be choosers! Thanks.
Probably doesn't matter where you get the phone. Just flash you a WWE rom ( World Wide English).
I would go with a Chinese TP2 and learn to flash the ROM to English. Do remember to backup your original ROM though, you may need to restore it to claim warranty repairs.
Where did you look in HK? English versions are only stocked in small quantities in stores here due to most ppl are mainly Chinese proficient, so they are sold out very quickly.
Welcome to forums,
No matter where you buy it in the world, all are made in Taiwan, or some place close.
So is not really an issue..you can reflash your desired ROM.
Great. I guess I just need two things.
1. The Rom. Could someone tell me which ROM to use, or maybe give me a link to where to download it or what thread on the form talks about the ROM I should use.
2. How to install it. I read the "installing a ROM for the first time" sticky post and it seemed a little over my head. Is there a more step by step example or anything out there? Or maybe a program I can download to flash my ROM?
Thanks!
Do a search on Rhodium section, you´ll find all you need!
Hi, I bought a HTC touch pro 2 phone a couple months back with windows mobile 6.5 on the phone and today i woke up to find that the operating system was some beta version and that it has run out so now the phone is not working. There is no information anywhere what to do.
I have tryed going on the htc site and downloading software but when i put the serial number in it says that it is not suitable
How can i install an operating system that will work or even get this version to work
Any help would be apprecitated
What an incredibly weird problem.
Your best bet* is to go to your carrier's website (rather than HTC's) and download their most current ROM.
Alternatively, you could download one of hundreds of custom ROMs here or on other sites. Just make sure you use a GSM ROM if you have a GSM phone or a CDMA ROM if you have a CDMA phone.
*Many are going to insist that a custom ROM is your best bet. Since you don't seem to be very familiar with these concepts I really think a stock ROM from your carrier is the best place to start in order to get your phone working again.

What model of the TP2 is it, where did you buy it, and what carrier are you using it on?
EDIT: I'm guessing I already know the answer to the 2nd question

It sounds like you bought a used phone that someone had put a custom rom on. Ive heard people discuss in the NRG Rom thread that some of the roms previous to April 1st would expire on the first of may. This sounds all too similar.
My advice... flash a new rom. Especially if you DID but the phone used. That's like what is going on. Do some reading in the Rom sub forum and you'll see what I'm talking. find the NRG Rom thread and search "expiration" or something.
Hope this helps some!
Hi, It expired on the 1st may so i guess that might be what the problem is. How can i instal i new rom? and where can i get this information. Do you have any links?
Thanks

Thats a big question that you're best just doing some reading on and if you have questions as in those threads.
The thread's you want to read are here ---->Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development
Read through those threads that are at the very top with "Sticky" next to them. All the threads below are rom related threads about certain roms availabe to install etc.
I sold my phone to someone who wants to restore the AT&T Tilt2 stock ROM (I sold it with the latest Illuminati ROM). Is there a link somewhere I can point him to that will give him the necessary files and instructions? In particular, he wants to enable picture mail and access the AT&T app market, and the Illuminati ROM either doesn't have those features or has them configured somewhere other than where he's expecting them.
Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

I did indeed find the HTC Tilt2 ROM at /us/support/htc-tilt2-att/software-updates on the htc.com web site and directed the buyer to it, but he's having some unspecified problem (maybe due to the unfamiliarity of loading ROMs) and other links I found suggest that HTC prevents upgrades unless they are being done to phones that already have approved software on them.
Is anyone aware of such restrictions?

I have the sprint touch pro 2 Rhod400, and have loaded the stock rom with non stock software on the phone. I usually use the SD card method, but that takes a little bit more work. Try having them putting the phone into the tri-color mode, and then starting the rom software.
OK, thanks. I'll pass that on to the buyer.
