New HTC T4242 Rom from HTC (1.10.422.2) - Touch Cruise 2 ROM Development

It looks like there is a new rom on the American HTC Support Pages, apparently reserved for Brightpoint Customers (don't really know what this is).
The version it is supposed to flash is 1.10.422.2.
I cannot download it, as it requires to submit the serial number and I have an european model, thus I get "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.".
The link is here...
Can anyone with a matching model download this and upload it on XDAs FTP?

I think no reason to dl this rom, radio is still 0.xx version.

Maybe, but the OEM packages are more recent, and may be valuable for cookers...

Wouldn't mind getting my hands on them...

I've bought Iolite from USA, but my serial number isn't working too.
I think this firmware for operator version of Iolite, because on name of page is
HTC Touch Cruise ROM Upgrade (For Brightpoint only)

by the way
Packages in this RUU_Iolite_hTC_Asia_WWE_1.11.707.1_Radio_Sign_12.4 1.30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship ROM are more recent than the same packages in WWE and Russian ROM.

So, is anybody have downloaded the ROM from the first post?

Great find
I've tried to install it but I have the following error :

I guess that's because my phone is not european ? I need to CID unlock it right ?

No problem at all. Except this European WWE does not allow Chinese Display fonts. Don't know why yet. I didn't come across that problem before. I asked HTC, the tech guy named Philp refused to help quoting company policy that I either to log in HTC in Europe and he knew they couldn't help. He said he will not help Dopod phone either. These turkeys own Dopod and made phone for Dopod and Dopod charged nearly double for that brand name in China. Why they draw such stupid lines among themselves I really don't know.

Could you please explain what those files are and if there is a way already to use them for swapping with the stock rom version? Thanks
That board here seems mighty, but somehow most people are so used to know a lot about what can be done, that it is a bit difficult to get into it, when you are new to all that.
The first one maybe an Italian ROM for Iolite.
The Second on is WWE Europe ROM for Iolite which is what I am using for about a month now.
Connect an USB cable from your PC to the phone and run the file. It will overwrite your phone with the WWE Europe ROM.
Thanks a lot
As far as I understand, it won't be possible when my Iolite is CID-locked, and it will flash if it is not.
But in general, how big is the chance that I might end up with a brick and if so, is there a way to recover it?

Normally, it either flashes or comes back with an error message and no harm done. Just don't unplug the cable while things are going on. The program will check for success and if not it will show you how to do recovery.
Hi, what languages contains the WWE Europe ROM please?
Thank you
WWE is English ROM.
It does not matter it is Europe, Asia or U.S.A. I guess WWE stands for World Wide English. The differences I found usually in the customization especially the "Connection Setup". Each country has different service providers. For example, you will find AT&T in U.S.A. ROM. Asia one will have HongKong operator, Malaysia...
Sometimes they overlap.
Difference are minor. But they do show with different ROM version numbers.

WWE (Europe) without HardSPL
PLEASE ADVICE !!!
I have a question to advanced lolite users:
I have German ROM on my xda Guide (lolite).
Can I replace this rom by "HTC Iolite - 1.09.401.3 - WWE (Europe)" provided by udk without HardSPL?
Can I just connect my phone via Windows Mobile Device Center and run "RUU_Iolite_HTC_Europe_1.09.401.3_Radio_Sign_12.41 .30.16_0.41.30.12_Ship.exe" ROM provided by udk without installing Hard SPL first?
Anyone tried this soulution?
Please advice!
Many thanks in advance for the answer!

Hi, Oli & Nex,
First, thanks for your great work to making these HardSPL and unlockers, without them the Windows phone will be much less attractive.
At the time when my Kaiser is broken, my friend send me a Touch Cruise 09 from China. It is a special edition of Iolite custumized for China Unicom,officially called Dopod T4288. From the specs I found its major difference with the HTC T4242 model is that it does not support WiFi. Later on I flashed your hardspl on it and found it works great on flashing ROMs. But I got some trouble on using some ROMs, for example, for the official WWE ROM version 1.11.706.1, the ROM is flashed smoothly and bootup with no problem. But it can not pass by the customization process. It stuck at about 60%of progress bar on the customization screen after after already aligned screen.
My question is: Is this from the hardware variaty or is CID related?
Thanks again for your contributions.

wow, very interesting. not sure why that would be... maybe some driver issue. you'll need to cook a rom based on original stock ROM for Dopod T4288. to get stock ROM, see ROM update, if there is none yet, dump one from a stock phone.
did you ever solve that?
Well Cmonex, Sorry for the late reply.
Later on I found that I can use most of the custom ROMs here without sticking on the customization screen. Although the WiFi never works or shows up.But I don't use WiFi so much hence it does not matter.
Up to now I can not convince myself to start cooking a ROM. I know it's not difficult to cook a rom but it's not so easy to cook a perfect ROM. Just I can not sit in front of a computer hours after hours. Now that we have so many chefs here, I'd glad to use and test their ROMs.
I did dumped the ChinaUniCom stock ROM before flashing the first ROM, but it's after already flashed your HardSPL. The link of the dumped ROM is here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5014258&postcount=7
[Etit: Now it's already made into an ruusigned.nbh ROM, from the raw files of China Unicom stock ROM version 1.13.706.2, for the Dopod T4288 variant model of HTC Iolite, simplified Chinese language, the download link is together with the raw files in the above link.]
So if you or any chef here have interest o look into the ROM, please. That ROM is dated end of April, maybe the latest stock ROM up to now and contains some special small apps. Please do tell me if anybody want to translate something from there, since it's CHS ROM.

[Q] Can stock ROM upgrade lock a phone back to its carrier

Hi, i have to know if updating my ROM (1.43.206.4) to 1.72.206.3 from HTC website can affect the phone being unlocked. I would also like to know how to upgrade my Manila from 2.5.1920 to a better one that supports Sense in landscape.
The cell on restart reads O2, is there anyway to get rid of that screen????

@ Kurt Willems
Thanks for your answer but when i said unlocked, i meant that my cell is already "unlocked" right now (using another network in India). What i need to know is whether the ROM upgrade will "Lock" it back to O2 since the upgrade that i will use reads:
ROM Version:1.72.206.3 for O2 only
NOTE: This update is for O2 UK devices currently on ROM version 1.43.206.4 only. Users with devices on ROM version 1.48.405.2 please click here (on the official HTC site)
So will this upgrade "LOCK" my phone back to O2???
and I guess i should ask a complete question.............please tell me which ROM to go for apart from the one mentioned above............i dont wanna brick my HD2
The complete specs are as follows:
OS Version 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
Manila Version 2.5.19202525.0
ROM Version 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE
ROM Date 11/06/09
Radio Version 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version 15.26.50.07U
Okay, I sea more clearly now what you mean.
unfortunately I don't have a idea if it will lock again your device. In Belgium we don't have locked device so I don't have experience on this.
And I will not give you a wrong information.
Sorry!
no it will not re lock your device. Once unlocked, its permanent.
yes you can change the o2 splash screen. flash a different rom (some cooked roms dont have them, some do, all oficial ones do, flash a t mo one, you get a tmo splash, flash a generic htc one, you get a htc splash) or you can make your own, see my sig and many threads like it.
@ Kurt Willems and Samsamuel...............thanks a lot. There is one more thing that i need to know; i read somewhere that a wrong radio can damage the cell bad........wanted to know if the following Update would work on My existing ROM:
RUU_Le2_UK_1.72.206.3_Radio_15.32.50.07U_2.07.51.22_2_Signed_LEO_Ship (this is the ROM update file)
Existing :
OS Version 5.2.21864 (21864.5.0.81)
Manila Version 2.5.19202525.0
ROM Version 1.43.206.4 (70315) WWE
ROM Date 11/06/09
Radio Version 2.04.50.22_2
Protocol Version 15.26.50.07U
your current version tells us that you do not have a 'tmous' hd2, so you do not need to worry about the radio bricking your phone. That only applies to tmous hd2s, you have a 'regular' hd2.

[Q] Any idea about release for HD2 3.14 sea-wwe rom?

does anyone have any idea if/when this ROM will be released?
what is the "sea-wwe rom"??
South East Asia - World Wide English

3.14.720 (WWE-India)- get the following msg after install: Your OS ROM isn't customized for your hardware. Please reflash the proper ROM code or contact the service center.

Although I hadn't planned on up-dating my ROM, if there is/was one available, I do have a couple of questions.
1) How can I determine the region for my HD2? I also think it's Southeast Asia, but I could be wrong.
2) What is the clear advantage of up-dating the ROM. My phone is working quite well, and doing pretty much what I want, so I would only up-date if there's a significant reason for doing so.
Here's my info:
HTC HD2
Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional
OS Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version: 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE
ROM date: 11/09/09
ROM Region: South-East Asia (I'm guessing here)
Radio version: 2.05.51.05_2
Protocol version: 15.28.50.07U

Peter

Addendum: I think you may be wrong. I just went to HTC's Malaysia site and tried to download the ROM up-grade listed for the HD2, but it said, "Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
i think singapore and malaysia both have same units...the sea version..they have not released any rom updates there..so where were you trying to download from? ... also, kurt willems has posted it somewhere in his posts, the different roms region wise

As I said in my previous post, I tried to download the ROM up-grade from HTC's Malaysia site at the following link:
http://www.htc.com/sea/
If you go to ANY HTC site, click on "Select Country," and then click on Malaysia, you get the link above.
Now here's what's really weird (the RED part from another post of mine)...
Here are the details concerning my phone:
S/N: HT01XNW02546
Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional
OS Version: 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82)
Manila Version: 2.5.19211619.0
ROM version: 1.48.707.2 (71294) WWE
ROM date: 11/09/09
ROM Region: South-East Asia (I'm guessing here)
Radio version: 2.05.51.05_2
Protocol version: 15.28.50.07U
SPL: 2.08.HSPL (Old 1.42.0000)
I have tried virtually every HTC site online and only two of them allow me to download a ROM up-grade: The Hong Kong Traditional Chinese site, and the Hong Kong English site. However, and here's the hitch, both of the file names contain the letters CHT (not WWE) which, I believe, means Chinese. If I were to use this ROM, would my phone change from English to Chinese?
What can I do to up-grade. As you can see, my ROM is quite old. I'd really like to up-grade, but I don't want to brick my phone. It's working well right now, but if there are numerous improvements, perhaps up-grading would be a good idea.
Any thoughts, comments or suggestions?
Peter
Addendum: I see on page 1 of this thread that there are four possible ROMs that I could use (I think):
World Wide English (WWE) 3.14.405.2
Hong Kong: (HKSCL_WWE) 3.14.831.3
World Wide English (WWE) 1.66.405.2
South East Asia (Asian WWE) 1.66.707.1 (This one seems to match my S/N prefix)
What happens if I up-grade using any of the four above? Will some cause problems, will all work, will none work? Please help.
@ PeterHTC
Based on your information; (ROM version: 1.48.707.2)
You mention to have a x.XX.707.x ROM! (Aria Rom = South East Asia)
Now if you will try to install a other Rom aria version as the one you have fore the moment you need to install it over HSPL ore Goldcard.
But; HSPL and stock ROM 3.14 aren't compatible! So if you will install the latest stock ROM (3.14) you need to use GoldCard technique.
Install stock ROM 3.14 in combination with HSPL caused problems on limited Program Memory.
So use the GoldCard technique or wait fore a 3.14.707.x stock ROM.
and the rom update on the sea website is an old one for 1.66 version...the new 3.14 version is not posted on the sea website...just wait for it..it will come..........mail to the customer care at htc from the website...remind them .........it works
can anyone provide us with at least a leaked rom for asia-wwe?
ROM Released!
It has been released see htc SEA support site
I got my HD2 from amazon with a SEA-WWE rom but i flashed to the normal WWE rom its a bit better than the SEA versions so ill wait till they release a 3.14 WWE
i couldn't post the url cause of this

I have tried virtually every HTC site online and only two of them allow me to download a ROM up-grade: The Hong Kong Traditional Chinese site, and the Hong Kong English site. However, and here's the hitch, both of the file names contain the letters CHT (not WWE) which, I believe, means Chinese. If I were to use this ROM, would my phone change from English to Chinese?
I wish I'd read Peter's post before I downloaded the ROM upgrade!
I bought my HD2 in New York last March. The OS, ROM, Manila, Radio and Protocols versions were identical to Peter's listed above.
I went to the Hong Kong-English section of the HTC site, where ROM Version 3.14.831.3 (Release Date: 2010-11-02) was available to download.
My S/N was accepted and I proceeded to download the ROM. The installation instructions were mostly in Chinese, but foolishly I did not suspect anything and persisted with the installation, using guesswork and intuition. Also (foolishly) I failed to notice that the actual ROM I downloaded was Version 3.14.832.3 (04666) CHT.
Now I am stuck with a Chinese language HD2 which is virtually impossible to use.
Can anyone help please?

When I bought my HD2 - which is a 707 hardware. (Same deal, chinese mall in Toronto) it was in chinese, the girl changed it over to english for me and aside from the extra keyboard button that would kick it over into chinese from time to time, it was workable.
What I've done with mine, as I don't know chinese and gave up learning years ago, was install the latest Artemis ROM after goldcarding it. Instructions are on the thread. Goldcarding makes the hardware not check to see what region it is locked to while loading new firmware - so you can flash WWE or whatever you want to it.
