Hello everyone. I am new to posting. This is my first so please forgive my mistakes. I have used the search function and havent found a related thread so posting a new one.
Iv just bought a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2. I want to install a stock HTC ROM on my device. Can someone please help me with the steps? Before that I need to know whether I can flash a stock HTC ROM on a T-Mobile Touch Pro 2. And would it be safe?
Once again I ask for forgiveness if Iv been ignorant as I'm new to XDA, and would like to thank all you experts for your comments.
Please help
I have the same setup as you; a T-mobile TP2 running a stock HTC ROM. Flash a hard spl (search the forums) and you can flash any other room. Simple as ABC. Trust me.
Thank you so much for your help.
But I have a few more questions:
1. How has your experience been? Is the stock ROM faster than the T-mobile ROM?
2. Can I flash a stock WM 6.5 ROM on my device currently?
I would be glad if you clarified these few things as I have never flashed before.
You can flash an official upgrade without unlocking. You only need to unlock to use custom ROMs you will find on the forums.
And IMO if you are looking for stability, stock is the way to go. T-Mobile USA official 6.5 ROM is very stable. However if you want all the latest features of Sense and Windows Mobile, you will want to look at some custom ROMs. Here is a guide to get you started flashing custom ROMs:

I put a stock HTC rom on my tmo touch pro 2 and its great. And so easy to do.
Thank you for your help.
And I have one more query. HTC asks me for my TP2's serial number and when I provide it, it obviously says download not suitable because I am trying to download stock HTC rom with a T Mobile serial number. Then is it safe to flash a new stock HTC rom that i got from XDA without a serial number?
Flashed my tmobile tp2 to wm6.5 stock htc rom!
Thanks to all you greats I dared a flash for the first time in my life and succeeded. WM 6.5 is simply awesome!
Just one small issue I have now. Since its a TMobile Touch Pro 2, my hardware keyboard is structured a little differently. It has ctlr key in place of the FN key as in the retail Touch Pro 2. So now my Ctrl key functions as FN key, and my Alt key functions as Ctrl key. Id be really glad if you helped me out with remapping the two keys.
See the sticky on the front page of the forum about the TMO US keyboard fix.
???
what is the sn for htc 6.5 stock rom
Serial Number
If u go for a download of the stock ROM on the website, it will ask u for a serial number, Instead search XDA for Stock ROMs. Download the appropriate ROM.

Where did you find stock ROM?
I tried one fromhtc.com and it says that ROM is not for my S/N
Here you go!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/Shipped_Roms
Just select the one suitable for you and download. Which device do you want to flash?

Hi, hi recently unlock my phone but when I tried to install a new ROM on it for stop to see Roger's presentation on start up, that seem to doesn't work ??? but i have unlocked my phone yet !?!? Can anyone can help me pls and can you give me the best setting for my Diamond like the newest ROM, RADIO and good useful sofwares... Thanks
There are some stickies regarding CID unlocking/Hard SPL your device (is not the same as SIM unlocking..)
Read those carefully and then choose an appropriate ROM.
I tried downloading the newest HTC ROM update---says my device is not supported for this update. ???????
I downloaded the file using a provided serial in another thread for the WWE version.
Can I use this file to flash my rom????
My diamond is an UNBRANDED and UNLOCKED version. I assume its a UK or US version. I use it with my ATT&T sim card.
It's a 1.93.422.4 WWE currently...
Any reason this 2.03 rom WONT work for me?
Can I use it?
I started the flash process just to see if it would give me an error or incompatible message and it did not. It was ready to install.
Any thoughts?
thanks
Man,
You really need to read the wiki and this thread.
Not meaning to sound rude - but your questions are answered thoroughly, providing the information you need to understand before flashing your device.
wow man, that was SO INSIGHTFUL.... thanks
I have flashed MANY phones, many times. I am very aware of how to do it and Yes I have read that page.
I am just trying to see IF ANYONE KNEW offhand if that new WWE ROM would work over my existing ROM without bricking it.
but thanks
If you got it off the Diamond page and know it's a Diamond ROM for sure, then you can flash it. If you don't know where you go it or have no idea for which device it came for, it has to be ported.
Thread closed.
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!

Thanks a lot Elcondor.. it solved half of my problems..

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
Regards,

I'm sorry if this is in the wrong forum, but I didnt know if this would be considered more a general question or not.
I have the ATT stock rom on my tilt 2. I have hardspl-ed it to add the radio version 4.49.25.57. I want to try and flash maybe one of the official roms from HTC and a couple of the custom roms, But here is the question: Is there a way to save the att stock rom in the event I have to send this back, or if I wish to go back to the stock rom?
And while I'm asking a) Which htc official rom would be best from the tilt 2 on ATT, and which custom rom has the least issues with the most features?
Again if this is in the wrong forum, mods please move. Thanx again.

The AT&T radio is 4.48.25.20 which can be downloaded here (thanks to wpbear for the mirror).
There's only one official WWE HTC TP2 ROM on the HTC website. The one you have is the stock AT&T-customized WM6.5 ROM.
There are a few ROMs that come in mind: ark666's, NRGZ28's, agent_47's. There are more stable ROMs out there. NRG's ROMs are fully packed with features, but that could be considered "bloatware" for some. I'm liking agent_47's Valkyrie ROMs right now; it's a combination of a stock-ish feel, with the speed and tweaks (apps for tweaking also included) of a custom ROM.
I know I have the stock att rom. Where on HTC would I find that official rom, because if I have to return this phone back to att I would like it to be as close to what I got is as so this way they dont give me and grief.
And would the UK english work on the tilt 2 or would that cause problems, I find that the att stock rom is very buggy especially when it comes to the sms and mms and the app hanging or getting stuck.
Or would the official HTC rom be leaner and work with less bugs?

So the official WWE HTC ROM is here. If you need that, you will need a WWE serial number (you have an AT&T serial number, so just do a search here on XDA for a WWE serial number; a WWE serial number was posted numerous times here). Ah, what the heck, here's a serial number I found: HT95NLL00167
The official AT&T Stock ROM is here and here (not sure if they're the same; one might include boot screen and radio).
The WWE HTC ROM is still stock, and because there are no carrier modifications, it should be faster and more stable due to less bloatware on the ROM. In other words, I think any Touch Pro2/Rhodium/Tilt2 ROM is better than the carrier-modified ROMs we get with the phone.
Thanx sumflipnol, I saw there was the official rom and an update which I am going to see how it works, I also am going to DL those two stock roms. Thanx. Now to find a custom rom with the least problems that possibly has sense on it.
No problem.
Good luck! And hopefully, you wouldn't need to flash back to the stock AT&T ROM at all.
Dear Pros,
Kindly, I would like to ask you some issues about installing Android in HTC Touch Pro 2 ?!!
The questions are:
Android Issue:
1- How to unlock my ROM ?
2- How to backup my Original ROM of Touch Pro2 (Warranty Reasons) ?
3- How to restore my Original ROM of Touch Pro2 (Warranty Reasons) ?
4- How to install Android and uninstall it ?
5- Which is better to install Android ROM or use a Dual-Boot, and if I run the Dual-Boot, so it will affect the battery lifetime ?!!
6- How to setup Dual-Boot ?!
Themes Issue:
1- How to change the whole theme of HTC Touch Pro2 ?
Sorry for asking all these question?
Thanks.
Your Brother,
Mulham
you are in the wrong place for almost all those questions, and they are not all neccessary
and the one question that is be asked in the right place can be found by searching, in fact they all can be
search first next time please
Re: Any Pro Here ?!!
Dear,
I think that you are the wrong person over here, so please let the pro to answer not you.
Thanks.
We don't really have pros here. We all try to help each other with what we know and have experienced.
You want to go to the Rhodium page giving you guidance on the basic rom flashing questions, and try to find answers there (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490)
Hopefully, the warranty issues will be addressed there too. To backup your current rom, you may want to use a third party commercial software such as Sprite Backup, or you may still be able to download your original rom at htc.com.
Android on our Rhodium is not a rom you install; and in any case, you only run it from the sd card. It does not change or replace your windows mobile rom.
You can download the projectandroid for the Rhodium and run it on top of your current original rom, without voiding your warranty.
There is a dual boot application most people use called "Gen.Y.DualBOOT" which you can download and install. After configuring it, you can then choose on boot whether you want to boot android or windows.
I notice that you have asked too many questions at once, requiring a lot of work on your part, with all the answers given. My best advice is, do one thing at a time so that you succede in stages.
Lastly, neither I nor anyone takes or will take responsibility for whatever negative effects your device suffers following the advice given here by me or anyone else. You are totally responsible. Remember though, one step at a time!

First of all You posted a question on a public forum and You are apt to get the views and opinions of whoever has access.
Second, The other member was correct, as to SEARCH for your information.
Third, (1) You do not unlock a ROM, you unlock your device to accept a flash, which is done by hard spl (2&3) Look on your providers website and download the rom that came with your device. (4) Ah, if you already know there is an Android port for The TP2 then you should already know where to get it, with that said there are intructions within that post. (5&6) There is also a complete post on this subject.
Now, as for switching themes, this is the wrong section.
Now I do realize that I may have not implied much insight on your situation, but we all hope that you come away from this with the knowledge of USING THE SEARCH FEATURE......
Thank You for your time and patience
Thanks to all of you, and really appreciate all your efforts, and at the same time I am sorry if I tired you with all of my questions.
Thanks again
