Hi all,
I'm quite new at ROM upgrading, so I apologize if any of my questions will be annoying to anyone.
I am about to buy O2 XDA Trion or T-Mobile MDA Vario II in Germany, and I plan to flash English ROM on it.
So here are the questions:
1. Will any type of ROM work on this brands of device ?
(Can I flash HTC TyTn English ROM on them. If not which ROM's can I use? Which one do you recommend?)
2. Will flashing new ROM unlock SIM ?
(If not, can you recommend me some good tool or method)
3. After upgrade to English ROM, will everything be in English ?
(Including all OS+Office apps. and keyboard layout, or do I have to set registry keys manually after?)
4. Which is the last known stable English HTC TyTn ROM (or O2 English) ?
(that it's enabling HSDPA also)
5. How to extract original ROM from device ?
(itsutils tool, or is there some better solution ?)
6. What is the benefit of Extended ROM ?
(does it exist Extended HTC TyTn ROM ?)
Already searched on forum, but still couldn't find answers to some of my questions. Anyway, I want to be sure before I do it.
I would appreciate any answers and/or advice.
Thank you all in advance.

Any of the ROMs listed here will be fine:

No, it will not, but most probably your device will be Sim Unlocked.
If it is not, there is no free way of unlocking it *yet*, you can SIM Unlock it using imei-check service for 20pounds. See more info here:

Everything will be in english, but in German O2 trion you have an AZERTY keyboard (mapped to QWERTY after upgrade). If you want it to be AZERTY again you can change the layout using the keyboard registry hack found here:

Again, see this page for the latest roms:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
Most of the roms come with HSDPA enabled, and if it is not, you can enable it using SetHSDPA /enable or fit4cat hermes tweaker, see more info here:

You can dump the original rom, but you cannot flash it back... most probably this will be quite unuseful for you.

Re: O2 Trion and T-Mobile Vario II ->ROM upgrade to HTC T
Thanks Pof for quick answers !
Correct me if I understood it wrong, any ROM (HTC, O2 English, I-mate etc.) should work with both brands (O2, T-Mobile) ?
How can I then fall back to original ROM (if I would need it for warranty reasons) ?
Is the Extended ROM must, or can I live without it also ?

That's right, you will get a Vendor ID when upgrading, you just need to run the upgrade utility twice without disconnecting your device. This is explained in the wiki too.

As O2 or T-Mobile has not released any rom upgrade yet, you cannot fall back to original rom. There is no known way of doing it because the typical commands to backup/restore to SD card have been removed in the Hermes bootloader. So upgrade at your own risk or don't upgrade if you pretend to return the unit
Mad_M said:

You can live without it, but generally it fixes some things (you'll not be able to do video calls without it for example). All the cabs are not needed and there are some customizations, skins, etc which are really annoying for me. What I generally do is "reset" before the ExtROM installs on first boot after hard-reset, and then manually install the cabs I want: some taken from TyTN rom, some others taken from i-mate rom and some others taken from Dopod rom.
Hope that helps!
Upgrading at your own risk ... that may be risky ... LOL
But i did it and its worth,...... still waiting for the new O2 ROM ...
I've written a wiki page with all this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeFAQ
Can I flash HTC ROM and then add O2 Extended ROM ?
Will I then have all O2 specific stuff, and O2 skins?
Did anybody already tried this combination ?
Thanks in advance...

Yes, operator customizations are always in ExtROM.

Now O2 has released a new Rom, so if I change to i-Mate I can always change to O2-Rom
Is That correct?

The O2 released ROM is in german, if the original language of your O2 branded Hermes was german, then the above statement is correct and you can flash any rom without worries as you can always revert back to o2 in case you have to return your unit
Thank you
I have bought my Trion yesterday but it's in german, and I want in english so I found this forum which is great.
Thank you gays for the good work.
Can you provide some other forums or sites with information about Software for PDA and other stuff.
I will spend the entire week reading the forum.
Best Regards ...
A new test ROM for the HTC Oxygen is available on XDA-Developers!
Rom Version: 1.5.401.2 (WWE)
Radio Version: 4.1.13.28_02.67.90
Bootloader: 1.05.0000
CID: HTC__Z12
You can find the ROM on XDA-Developers FTP:
RUU_Oxygen_1.5.401.2_R3_4.1.13.28_02.67.90_HTC_EUR_Test.exe
For the curious out there, the ROM is shipped in NBH format so you can extract it if you want to look at the ROM components.
I don't own an Oxygen and I can't test it so I don't know what's on this ROM, if you try it please post details about it.
Enjoy!
Can anyone help i have just got a HTC S310 (Orange SPV C100) from orange france and am desperately seeking an english language rom. found one rombut get the incorrect vendor error. Seems like a great phone but i cant read french.
Your phone is CID locked. AFAIK there is no free method to CID unlock it.
...unless you will downgrade your phone's bootloader with bootloader only upgrade for HTC Oxygen that is available from local ftp first.
that bootloader should let you flash any rom of your choice.

@pof just got a s310 where is this ROM from? is it official HTC release or not yet???
not yet, this is a test rom, very close (if not the same) to final release...
hi pof thanks for the response... I'm trying to hack the registry of my s310 but i'm having no luck. i tried using Resco Explorer Registry Addin [SP] and Regedit STG found on modaco. the changes i make don't even stick [I haven't cycled power cause everytime i tap done to make the changes the values are still the same] I am trying to app unlock my s310. any other way I can do this? btw this is the reference I am trying to follow: http://www.modaco.com/index.php?showtopic=235408&st=0&p=708679&#entry708679

very true. Production ROM (SHIP) is this firmware with IU TEST ONLY message removed from boot screen. that's all.
uh oh i guess i bought mine too early oh well this will do as a 2ndary phone...
What languages set is in that ROM?
Hello,
I would like to ask if this is a ROM with Russian/Polish version of WM5?
Thanks in advance for your answer (waiting for Polish version;-) )
Best greetings
Abram
Russian/Polish T9
I supposed the dictionary does support russian/polish T9 since this is more like an European ROM to me. Russian and Polish language are found inside. No chinese/east asian language though.
Additional question for you Sir
Thats a great news for me that you have found that Polish language in that new ROM file.
But - please - make me sure - you mean there is a Polish language to choose not in 'Regiona setings' (date, currency etc) BUT in system - so I will see Polish words in menu, in alerts etc?
It wold be a Salvation for me, really;-)
Best greetings,
Here are the languages available on the shipping ROM.
--
UK English
Magyar
Francais
suomi
US English
Dansk
Nederlands
Norsk
Svenska
Slovencina
--
So... thats a Zonk...
As I can see there is no Polish language in that ROM.
Upss...
Anyway thanks for your help!

Hello,i have a problem with that bootloader from xda-developers FTP.When bootloader have may be loaded,it will turn off the device and Error happen.What can I do with that?My phone is CID locked (SPV C100),so i can not flash this new ROM from Pof.
Sorry for my very bad english and thank you for help.
is there a german language in this rom?
Can anyone help have paid to unlock my pjone with imei checker, But still get invalid vendor id when i try to flash this rom please help
hello again
can u confirm to me if i have a tmobile ameo from germany will i be able to see english languge on the menu ?
if not can i take the tmobile uk rom of the ameo and just replace it or it will not work ?
thanks
I can just answer your first question: No, only German language on a German Ameo.
As for using different ROMs, no idea.
thanks but any one can answer about the rom ?
please ?
At the moment you shouldn't be able to swap ROMs without changing the CID which AFAIK isn't currently possible. The issue is that these ROMs should have different country codes and without unlocking the CID of your phone you can't upgrade with some other vendor's ROM. Please correct me if I am wrong!
t-mobile ameo
thanks for now i hold my things

Yes, but it probably will be CID locked, so you will still need to unlock it. Mine is also simlock free, but I can't use WWE because of CID lock.
But anyway, you can give it a try.
the only thing i need to know is does the wwe come with tomtom if not then iam stuck with the dutch rom got rid of the dutch on my x1 and everything works better , having a rom for your country is ok but some games or apps dont work as they install into the english program files simular to games , still i find a ppc phone in 2009 still bad , its poorer brother the smartphone is smarter as you can change the language within seconds a ppc still is crap that you need a new rom to change it

I'm gonna try to help you, did some searching and hoping it will help you.
First try this link:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1645355&postcount=2
There are several cabs in that thread and one of them is for NETWORK.
If that doesn't work, I suggest to do the HardSPL 1.22 here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...&postcount=439
After HardSPL 1.22 flash the English rom again.
If all of this failed, then check your download, and download the English rom again.
Really hopes it will help you, just keep me informed.

It looks like it's a radio problem, for some reason the rom and radio are not working together, I'm not sure if there is a fix, but if someone can upload the Japanese rom, maybe I can strip the radio out.
