Hi to all budding cooks!
I have links here - thanks to HTC e-Club Australia - for those who wish to download the original signed ROMS for three of the four Australian mobile network providers: Optus, Vodafone and 3 Mobile. Unfortunately the folks at HTC haven't seen fit to publicly release a Telstra-specific ROM for the Next-G network, or else I'd have a link here for that too.
The ROMs available from the links below include the radio in the package, and will install it along with the network-specific stuff for each provider.
Click on the link to start your direct-to-PC download:
Hutchison Telecoms - 3 Mobile (this is the latest one, released on December 4, 2008)
Optus and Vodafone Networks (this is the same one HTC released on October 27, 2008 - no other update for Optus/Vodafone available as of January 3, 2009)
Links also added to the Raphael Wiki Page
Hope these can be of help to someone.....
Thanks for these. Have you tested any of them
Optus / Vodafone ROM
OK I have flash to this rom and so far so good.
It's a fully unbranded rom. Not even the program shortcuts in touchflow have been inserted.
This upgrade has fixed a main problem of mms for me where I can now send and receive mms again. I could not do this with.405 WWE rom. Radio is the the stock radio and I have had not improvment here in AUS and will upgrade to .28 or .32 shortly.
No speed diffrence and you will need to redo your confiqs again or restore from backup

Only the 3 Mobile and Optus ones, and both work well. Haven't tried the Telstra ones, 'cos I hate Telstra and everything they stand for. My only dislikes are the telco's brandings everywhere on the 3 Mobile ROM, other than that they run exactly like the stock HTC ROM.
As for the radio I'm using with Optus, it's 1.02.25.32, and here in Newcastle it's clear as crystal. Send/receive MMS is fine, and SMS goes on GSM like it always has with Optus.

Great thanks. Yes I am using the Optus one as well and still on orignal radio and so far so good, only had issue restoring the backups would not reinstall the programs and settings which is a bit of a pain But the Rom feels faster after the settings applied then the orignal I had. I don't know why I could not get mms to work on orignal rom .405 I had all the correct settings and it would never send now it's like perfect again.
Will upgrade radio next as .19 always has some lagg in connecting to the network
The file name of Telstra rom seems like Diamond... I don't think Diamond and Raphael shares the same rom right?

It is for the Touch Diamond, yes, you're right. Apologies, and all references to it are now removed.
any ideas if this rom works on a vodafone uk device?

Not sure, mate. Seeming though I live in Australia, I haven't been able to set up my computer somewhere in the UK and get my hands on a Vodafone UK edition Raph to test it. Maybe you could test it yourself, see how it goes, and post your results here.
There's nothing to worry about. Only one of four things could happen, and all of them are reversible.
(1) The flash is a failure: you brick the phone. Elsewhere in this forum are threads committed to helping those with bricked phones;
(2) The flash is a success, but you don't like the look, feel and speed of the ROM post-install;
(3) The flash is a success, but the Radio/modem isn't working well for you on your particular network, or
(4) The flash is a success and the whole thing works to your satisfaction.
Trial and error is the key to advancement. You will get nowhere if you don't try, and you always have here a number of others with the same device, to help you out of a bind if you get stuck. Great minds think alike, and as Dr. Conrad Zimsky said in 'The Core', "That's all science is, is best guess..."
cheers mate, my only worry is bricking. im new to winmo so all the flashin is new to me.

I suggest first and foremost you go to the Raphael Elite Team Thread and grab the HardSPL from there. For further instructions on how not to brick your phone, check out this thread. If you haven't already, install ActiveSync 4.5 for Windows XP, or Mobile Device Center 6.1 for Vista. Make sure you download and install the correct version for your operating system, as there are 32- and 64-bit variants.
Connect your phone to your PC through whatever Sync application you installed, then Flash your phone with the HardSPL first. Trust me, I've done it myself and it works, as long as you follow the instructions the boys have left in a text file included in the *.zip's you'll grab from that thread. After that, it's all smooth sailing. Installation of ROM's from wherever you decide to grab them is a risk each time you do it, but make sure that if the ROM's chef has specified a certain Radio to use with what he's cooked, that you Flash that to your device first then hard-reset, then Flash the ROM.
Hope this has helped a little bit.....
hmmm i think i must be missing something. ive flashed hardspl no problem but i get an invalid vendor error when i try to flash the voda rom, i thought hardspl stopped that? maybe im just a noob missing something

Try going back to the original SPL that you can grab from the same place you got the unsigned from. Then try flashing with the Vodafone/Optus one I've posted links to @top of thread.
same error. everything back to stock & nothings bricked so no biggy. i wanted the radios more than anything because i get pretty sucky reception at home but vodafone say i shudnt. oh well, no harm done a least.
Thanks for your help.
Can anyone verify if the optus rom gives access to the WCMDA 900 band that we know the device is capable of? Cheers

As far as I am aware, the device flicks between whatever frequency is available. That is, if the 900MHz band is there, then it uses it, but when the 2100MHz band is around, it'll switch to that one. I was happy with that stock Optus ROM in my Raph, using my Optus SIM card, but have gone back to the T.I.R. (PDM) one simply 'cos I like it.
My Raph is an original outright device bought from 3 Mobile - with the 3 generic ROM installed - but because I jumped from a stock Vodafone service to Optus ('cos Vodafone here in Newcastle are not providing 3G/HSDPA) I chose a ROM I liked the look of.

Hi there do you get the UMTS 900 band option in the band tab? My 3 rom only gives me 2100, 800, 850 options in UMTS and the usual GSM frequencies.

Auto
GSM

Perfect! Thanks very much for the info.
Hi, this is an interesting discussion about band freq's here...
I'm running 1.02.25.19 with ROMeOS 1.21 WWE and I see the following options:
Auto
GSM(900+1800)+UMTS(2100)
GSM(1900+850)+UMTS(1900+850)
UMTS(2100+800)
I'm with Vodafone. I do not experience any call quality issues, slow call connection or internet speed issues... so I'm not too sure if this changes anything considering Vodafone mainly uses 1800 and they're still in the process of running out 900MHz.
FWIW... I tried running Radio 1.02.25.28 but I did experience issues with my camera, which is why I'm back on .19
Hi, I bought this HTC touch pro almost one year ago.. my celular provider is switching to 3G but my phone cannot connect the 850 network band...I tried to upgrade the rom at htc's site, they answer the rom must be upgraded at htc turkish site. I have 2 concerns... I can't speak turkish, so I could sell my soul to devil without notice (lol)... and of course can change my phone language to turkish and make it useless for me...
Thanks,
Katya
rom version 1.90.456.4 wwe
If your device dosent support the bands your provider uses for 3G then it never will, The Radio bands are hard coded into the cpu so software wont change a thing

First you need to update your info like what country and what Cell.provider you use will help...
this is the spec. for your phone
http://www.htc.com/www/product/touchpro/specification.html
it says that the phone can detect 850 network band...
3G currently 900/2100
maybe you need to check with your provider to change your sim card to 3g capable one.....
for my knowledge some provider when they switch to 3g and you have older Sim will not work and will require new Sim card.
just give them a call nothing to loose.
this is as far as my knowledge...
let us know and good luck...
you have a wwe rom
so in theory it should be possible to upgrade but you need to softspl it first
for the 3G it should be there with or without abbo as long as you have a sim which is connected to the network. if it is not it is not available in the area or the phonesettings are set to gprs only, it shows a G then.
the frequenties are hardcoded indeed and are present in the touch pro.
controlled by the radio rom.
updating my post
Hi... I'm in San Jose-Costa Rica... my service provider is ICE, the goverment company... they just bought the 3g from huawei or something like that...
I'm going to try my sim in other phone to verify 3G compatibility of my sim.
Thanks a lot...
I really like to had the chance to upgrade my phone... I need a US or maybe UK serial number to download new roms
Thanks again

Its not necessary that HTC's Turkish site will have turkish ROM.
And maybe you should try a XDA WWE ROM.
And 3g has got nothing to do with ROMs.
You need to check in device info(in settings) what processor do you have if it is 701 or 702 then only you can have 3g reception.
if it is 706 then sorry you can't have 3g reception no matter what ROM or Radio you use.

But i don' think the OP understood.
Anyways he should be checking his processor.
And giving details about his device.
But for sure 3G has nothing to do with ROM/RADIO/SIM.
It depends on your processor, your network provider, your subscription to 3G.
I've been searching all morning does anyone have any tmo roms that are or are close to stock. I need to get there wifi calling working properly and cant seem to manage it on any of the cooked roms
To explain myself a bit more, I have my ATT Fuze unlocked and im now on tmobile US. I dont get service very well in my house so I use tmobile home which just routes everything through wifi instead of gsm network. however I cant seem to get it to work on any roms. Yet it works on my shadow phone I have.
have you tried tael's rom? i have the older version and my wi-fi works fine. have t-mobile myself. has it been working on the stock one?
wifi works fine its the [email protected], Im trying to dump a shadow 2009 (with little luck so far) to see what the sw is and if there is in fact a hw encoder required (uma)
Look if they have an update on their website. Usually a tmobile "update" is a complete ROM.
It is here on Tmobile's Dutch website...
Works like a charm ;P
You can download T-Mobile ROM from here: http://bit.ly/4yGeEV It's an official T-Mobile ROM, RUU_Hermann_TMO_HR_1.69.119.1_Radio_Signed_Raphael_CRC_52.33.25.17_1.02.25.19_Ship and it's 109MB large.
have you ever tried to change wifi-power-mode into "best performance"? just to mention it...

Let us know what the differences are. I'm using an AT&T based rom from the group, and have just changed the connection for T-Mobile.
Maybe I'm lucky, but GPS works, etc.
Looks like the attached Rom is based on the old 505 AT&T release.
I have a quick question.
I got my AT&T Atrix 4G from Ebay 2 months ago and still very happy with it. However I would really love to have my phone 'completely' in Dutch (instead of partially with Any Locale) and even have the possibility to use the Dutch dictionary.
I recently noticed the Atrix 4G will be released in the Netherlands as well (within 3 weeks or so). If the phone does arrive in the Netherlands (you never know with Motorola of course), will it be possible to replace my AT&T Atrix 4G with a Dutch version of the Atrix 4G ROM / kernel (or whatever it's called)?
Anyone knows this by any chance?
If it is an ATT Atrix you cont be able to just flash the dutch software on it, you might however be able to mod it with files from the dutch version to get the dutch locale, probably it would be some effort to do such tho. However with 2nd init you might be able to run the dutch ROM on it, or a custom ROM that supports it.

Thanks for the information. I am already running "Any Locale", however not everything is in Dutch, especially the SMS text dictionary.
It would be great if exchanging the US version with a Dutch version ROM by any means in the near future.
Try SwiftKey beta x from the market, it's free and has a dutch dictionary i believe
Motorola photon 4G Does it support Arabic language and
Does it work outside the United Statet
If not how can it
Not sure of the language, I am sure someone else could chime in on this.
It is a world phone with the gsm, there are people who use it outside the US. There are a few tweaks people do to remove some of the sprint authentication when not using the phone on a sprint network.
Specify what carrier you plan to use it and where and I am sure someone else uses it in that location. Or series of locations you could be planning on using the phone.
From my understanding and time here, no it does not support Arabic (I think English, Spanish, and Japaneese?). Yes, it will work outside of United States!
It does support arabic with the CyanogenMod rom. You'll need to unlock the bootloader first, flash cwm recovery and lastly flash CM7.2 by cybik. Photon works outside of USA. For gods sake, tell me a country except those iDen sporting ones where photon can't take signal
Can I get a "Pig-Latian" version for my homies in the hood? HAHA!!
Where can i find cm7 ?
Will sprint network will still work after installing cm7 ?
