Now that cingular released a ship date of Nov 16 for the 8525 I would really like to get my hand on the final shipping ROM. Does anyone know when this would be available? I guess PTT will not be working in the initial release.
I would like to see a copy of this rom too. We can only hope that austin_boy decides to help us out here...
Im with you guys
Yup,
I would like to see the shipping ROM myself... I want to see if there are any enhancments over the 1.34 ROM

I'll have one on the 16th but I realize I can't dump a flashable ROM from it. I can, however, provide the Extended Rom contents until a flashable ROM is available.
Where's da man "austin_boy"?
I would at least like to have the radio settings so I can use them on my HTC branded device.
I couldn't wait for the 8525 and preferred the style of the TyTN so I went that route... will be here Thursday. This will be my first PPC phone, having had several SP devices and Treos.
If I understand this correctly, the extended ROM houses all of the carrier-specific settings, branding, applications, etc? If so then I can just pick and choose what Cingular-specific stuff I want on my TyTN? If that's the case, sounds easy enough. I'd love to have the production 8525 extended ROM as soon as some one can post it!
I'd also like to know what versions Cingular ended up at... radio, boot loader, ROM and all that. I'm wondering how the TyTN radio will perform here in Seattle compared to the 8525. Does anyone know if Cingular tweaked the 8525's radio ROM to their network?
TyTn vs 8525 ROM's
what would be the pro's and con's.
rom 1.18.255.3
7-22-2006
radio 1.03.03.10
Okay I give up on dropped data connections with 3.27 radio but really really want all the fixed things in wm6.1.. I like the SMS (can live without it tho) and the newer MMS that allows you to add recipient... I'm sure there are other things too but those pop out as the most significant....
anyways... Is there any dcd rom I can use that has wm6.1 that will work with a radio version less than 3.27? And if so, which radio? I have only tried 1.40 with good luck but I see there are others out there... Any versions links and words of wisdom would be greatly appreciated so I can stop flashing the hell out of my titan and start using it as a phone instead of a science project
oh ya... need verizon roms too ...
k thnx bye
dcd has said he will be releasing a 2.17 based ROM with 6.1 in it. It will be version 1.7.0 from what I hear. Coming very soon, just working out some small issues.
awesome! thanks very much.. will keep my eyes glued to forums looking for it...

yea its on his forum i think
I have searched the forum, but I found some people saying I can do that. Some said the FUZE has different hardware and cannot be flashed into HTC official firmware. Which is the correct answer?
If I really can, what else should I beware of? Any thing will not work after the flash?
Thanks.
Yes you can...
For starters your keyboard mapping will be wrong, but that is easily fixed by any number of CABs you can find in the forum. You also won't have any of the AT&T special apps.
I guess the real question is "why"?
If you're going to go through the effort of flashing, it makes much more sense to flash in one of the cooked ROMs that offer more features.

I agree with Rob - Why would you want to? Unless say you are modding it to include the front facing camera and want the rom to be able to take advantage of that. Other wise you will have to jump through hoops just to get it to work.

Because the original HTC rom is thoroughly tested and, HTC did make it since they made the hardware i believe they know the best software for it as well.
No offense to the cooks and all but I have not come across a faster, smoother, bug-free rom than the "Asia Build 20764" released on march 16th.
Even though I like the cool look aof the custom roms thereis no competing with the performance of the original HTC roms.
I agree with Stalix. I personally just prefer the official HTC firmware. Apparently, HTC know their hardware and have working with their software in this field for long, they should have a more stable firmware. And I personally hate to see at&t logos in my phone.(does FUZE have those logos?)
Same idea when I install my PC, I would install Microsoft official version not those modded version. They may have bug or viruses due to their experience of modding.
So on the forum what kid of key word means it's official HTC firmware? I have seen hundreds of firmware here.

They also do not turn on certain features. Take a look at all the power management features you can turn on with Advance Config. They skip out on a lot stuff so then they do not have to support it. If you have more things to support then you need a bigger support staff which is more money out the door for them...A ROM (like mine) based on an official release can be much more faster, stable and more enjoyable than a OEM ROM. Look at the TytN II...it can use the YouTube app fine but why do they not include it...

Let's recall that approx 10 months ago, the big breakthrough in this community for stable reliable 6.1 TytN II ROMs, was the release in May of 6.1 WWE by HTC. Don't let anyone convince you otherwise.
Nothing wrong with checking out (or using) the stock releases...
How can I revert cooked ROMs back to OEM HTC ROM?
thanks
I have done the flash!
Yeah I have done the flash to my fuze and the UK rom is the best way to go. I love the boot screen saying Touch Pro! You will definitely need the keyboard fix as stated earlier. You will need to find a UK serial so you can grab the rom. There is one in the xda archive. Also, get a calculator cab because the stock one is not always the best. They are also on here. When flashing the HTC rom it will take a couple of more minutes than the others. Mine was stuck on 11% for a 2 minutes. But it will complete beautifully. So also It is very stable. Let me know how you like it.
US 3G Effected?

When you did the UK Rom on your Fuze, did you loose the US 3G settings?

Yea but you have to also realize that all "cooked ROMs" are based off an official build in the first place.
Take a look at the ROMs available now for the KAISER; they are much better and much improved as developers are able to port updated applications to older devices, improving their performance, and functionality.
If HTC Software was so great, developers wouldnt be looking at other 3D drivers from devices such as the Omnia or the ATI 3D drivers, to improve their devices.
EDIT: To answer the original thread makers question, yes you can flash an HTC ROM to your Fuze provided you have HARDSPL'd your device first. The only thing you would need to change is the keyboard mapping which can be done by a .CAB

This. HTC might "know thier hardware" but that's exactly why you take their official ROM and modify it. Then I have my Fuze settings without running keyboard customization, better apps and tools that aren't in the official ROM, and tweaks to make it even faster. Best of both worlds.
i dont deal with cook Roms anymore, I got out of that business since the MDA Wizard.
Since then I have owned the Treo 750, ATT 8525, HTC TYNT II, and now the FUZE (touch Pro) and I have sticked to official release ROMS.
Its a personal choice really. I have had great experiences with Official Roms and I can do all the tweaks and add all the cabs my self.
So sad to see this Fuze forum flooded with so many cook ROMS. Everybody wants to be a Chef these days. I just feel bad for all the new bees coming in here and can't even decide which ROM to use

so where would a 'newb' go to find a nice stock rom that isnt cooked? seems like all the roms here are cooked to some extent or another.
No worries with flashing Touch PRO HTC roms or cooked roms on the ATT Fuze
I am currently using WM6.5 for the Touch PRO on an unlocked Fuze with a Canadian 3G provider with ZERO problems !

go to the Raphael Wiki page and will link you to the proper page for download
3g settings and link!
First off the rom for official download will be found at the following:
www.htc.com/europe
Then you will need the UK S/N code which is as follows:
HT833K018918
This was in the archive much props to who uploaded it however I will repost it as to the fact it was not easy to find. This will give you the UK rom! I love the video that plays at the beginning! It is great with battery life as well! So then grab your fuze keyboard fix and it is as if it were always a touch pro!!
Cheers and enjoy!
Sandman!

Well it is a ROM DEVELOPMENT forum. Having choices is kinda the point since which ROM to use is personal preference. Personally, since UC works well, I change between them quite a bit.
hi,
i am sooo confused, i've been reading as many of these posts in xda and ppcgeeks but i still dont fully understand. please clarify the following...
i have a GSM htc touch pro already unlocked when bought. i want to flash CFAY TP2 ROM but its in the CDMA forums. am i right to assume that its not possible for me to flash?
therefore, are there far less ROMS to pick from bcos i have a GSM phone?
Thank u kindly in advanced.
If you flash a CDMA ROM to your GSM Touch Pro you'll brick your Touch Pro.
I've always been under the impression that there are a lot more ROMs available for GSM than CDMA Touch Pros. There are many excellent ROMs for the GSM Touch Pro.
thanks for clearing that up so quickly. =)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Best source for flashing the TP (GSM)
I call it "stupidly simple"
There are more gsm roms and cdma. Look around. The best roms for me are RRE and Energy roms. Try them and you will like them. Especially RRE rom.
Hello all,
Maybe not the right place (or the right time) but im thinking bout buying a rhodium, but want to see and expercience the rom rhodium first. I cant see why a rhodium rom wouldnt work on a raphael (same hardware and all) but maybe im wrong. Being a newb as i am, can any1 tell me if its possible and what stock rom to take ?
Thank u very much !
Gijsja
ABSOLUTELY!!! Try the make_my_device_into_something_else_magic_rom_1.01.05_shipped.nbh
Wow, if you can't see why, well then maybe you should've hung on to your Motorola Razr.
Seriously though, just for starters, try resolution. There are a dozen more, at least, but that one right there is pretty big.
How about radios? The radio the Rhodium uses is garanteed to brick your device.
SPL is a bit different too!
All in all, great if you want a new paperweight.

A better way to go would be to look through the Raphael ROM forum and find one of the many threads where chefs have taken the entire Rhodium interface and ported over to the Raphael hardware. e.g. NRG Phoenix is one, and it's WinMo6.5 as well!

Hmm...Actually, there is NO Raphael rom that is "Totally" ported from the Rhodium. You can't do it yet. The full manila requires the new Phone pad, so there are at least two things that are different.

I believe the Tachi phone pad has been successfully ported over (as of earlier today/late yesterday.) NRG has stated that he will have it in a new release tomorrow
Tnx alot u guys ! I ll definitly look around and try some stuff out ! Good thing u are here, otherwise i wouldve ended up with just another paperweight
