Downgrade from WM 6.5 to old WM 6.1 (original)??? - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hello!
I have a huge problem. I've had some problems with the battery on my HTC TP2 and in service they changed it. The problem is that they made an update to the software to what they call it is the last version: WM 6.5 with HTC Sense. I didn't ask for this and since it was a hardware problem I don't know what happend.
I asked them if they can downgrade to WM 6.1 like it was in the original phone and they said they couldn't do that.
I was wondering if I can get any help here?! Is there a way to find the original WM 6.1 from HTC? They don't have a version for HTC TP2 on their site ... So, how could I solve this problem?
I hate WM 6.5 with Sense because it moves really SLOW! Yes, it has many interesting things but there are a lot of badly made things . This is why I want to erase it from my phone.
Regards,
Laurentiu

Yes the 6.1 stock roms are there too
cheers

Thank you!
And that is the original ROM??? From HTC? Released especially for this phone???

Well not all off them on that page!
But the ones that start with "RUU_Rhodium_HTC_" are the official ones released for the rhodium (HTC Touch Pro 2) by HTC.
You just need to pick your language or the world wide english(WWE) variant.
In my case i am from the netherlands and would have to choose: RUU_Rhodium_HTC_NLD_1.19.404.1_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe
Cheers
ps. in my signature is one of the best wm 6.1 roms i have ever stumbled upon. If you are not persistant in keeping your phone "official" HTC, i can really recommend that one. Loads of RAM very stable. Beats the stock rom in every way. But you would have to flash your htc touch pro 2 with a non official rom. (check it out at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618063)

Bear in mind that if your phone doesn't have HardSPL, you won't be able to flash most of the official ROMs (there are loads of them), you'll only be able to flash official ROMs designed for your specific model/branding of phone. e.g. I have a Vodafone UK-branded TP2, so without HardSPL, I can only flash Vodafone UK official ROMs, I can't even flash a generic HTC official ROM.
With HardSPL you can flash any ROM you like for your phone (GSM Rhodium), official or "cooked" (custom).

Since i have the "luxury" of an unbranded rhodium, i never had to think about that, but your absolutely right! Sure hope TS has an unbranded model so the choices are not too limited

RUU_Rhodium_TMOUS_1.04.531.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.43.25.13_Signed_Test.exe
and
RUU_Rhodium_TMOUS_1.12.531.2_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.17_Signed_Test.exe

Or you could just go to the phone manufacturers website and download the applicable file there and follow their (comprehensive) instructions. If you want to keep things all official, it's actually a very straightforward process. You only need to bother with hardSPL etc if you want to flash a custom ROM. A very important question you should ask yourself is why do I want WM 6.1. If you're thinking it's newer so it must be more reliable/better/faster etc etc check out the threads in Kaiser General relating to all the problems after upgrading - at least with regards to most of the official HTC ROM offerings (certainly the current UK one is included). I tried WM 6.1 for a while and had such significant problems, I had it reverted back to 6.0.
MMMMMM
To me WM 6.1 appearance is more sexier than the WM 6.0. Thats why am looking to upgrade my device in to WM 6.1
Flying Kiwi has a point about doing it officially - I'd forgotten that there was an official 6.1 rom. That said, for me custom roms are much more fun!
I've had both 6.0 and 6.1 on my phones and to be honest, I can't tell the difference.

What are you doing with your phone ......
Having tried both, there's very little difference between the two as far as the TyTN II native ROMs are concerned. It's only the customised ROMs that offer a flashier flash (but you can also get alot of that stuff through installing cabs - full details in the wiki and by searching/reading up on the xda-dev website).

Where to download the HTC TP2 UK ROM?

I currently have a Vodafone ROM, would love to get the Stock HTC UK TP2 ROM, but the HTC site won't let me download (says it is unsuitable for my device).
With the release of HardSPL I should be able to flash this. Anyone know where I can get it?
I would flash one of the Cooked ROMS here, but not a big fan of 6.5 ... any cook fancies knocking up a tuned 6.1 ROM I'll be all over it
Smaberg? You out there? Your Touch X 10.1 ROM on the TP2 would be unbeatable ... and I know you have a TP2 now ;-)

Tilt 2 ROM

I'm very new to flashing ROMs and I wanted to know if I can only install Rhodium ROMs to my Tilt 2 or can I flash a Blackstone ROM if I find one that I like? tks

You can only install ROMs made for your device. You can flash HTC Rhodium ROMs on your Tilt2 and vice versa because they're both Rhodiums with compatible hardware. However, you can't flash blackstone/Kaiser/Athena/Diamond2 etc. ROMs because if you actually manage to flash them, you'll probably brick or at least f**k up your device pretty badly.
However, you can flash radios from the Diamond2 (not any others like the Blackstone, Kaiser, etc.) if you're security unlocked using the Rhodium Security/CID/SIM unlocker from this forum.
Thanks a lot, that cleared up everything.

Problem with my WM6.5!

I have a major problem right now.
i wanted to get co0kies home tab on my TP2
but i think that something screwed up..
i followed this tutorial for manila / sense 2.5
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=108707
i did everything it told me to.
exact the way it told me.
after installing sense 2.5.2012.cab i've got this problem..
the language changed to english ( was on dutch )
and now i have this..
everything is wrote in capslock, and has IDS_ infront of it.
example: IDS_INTERNET, IDS_MUSIC_LIBARY, IDS_TWITTER, IDS_SETTINGS
etc etc
how do i fix this?
please help me fast!
greetings!

i have the standart ROM, Did not flash it ! ( NO HARD-SPL OR W/E IT MEANS )
If i have to Flash it ( HARD-SPL ) Please help me with it, Even with the tutorial i can't do it on my own.
im so afraid right now!
//edit3
i've turned off HTC Sense, and turned on the normal WM GUI, Very simple but works without problems, so i think that i'ts the Sense that isn't working correct..
Maybe there's a way to sort things out on your phone right now, but I think it would be a lot simpler if you flashed a ROM that already had Sense 2.5 and Cookie baked into it. There are plenty of ROMs here that should do that for you, though of course you would need HardSPL first.
The sticky postings about HardSPL and how to flash ROMs are very detailed and explain things well. But if you have further questions on those then you can ask in those threads.
Someone else might come along and tell you how you can fix your Sense 2.5 right now, but that's beyone what I can do myself.
Thank you for your post, i will upgrade my phone to 2.5 with the ROM from HTC.com
Because i have a unlocked phone i can just download this, lol..
after that i might HardSPL.
thanks!

That doesn't have anything to do with whether your phone is unlocked though, you may well find it doesn't work (saying "invalid vendor id", or similar).
The official HTC ROMs will only work on HTC-branded phones for that specific area/region, unless you have HardSPL.
I live in Europe,
I will download the official HTC Rom for Europe Users,
After fixed, i will try to HARDSPL.
what does it means actually?
spl
im no pro but flashing hardspl will allow "unsigned" roms to be flashed. this means roms from htc and "cooked" roms will work on you're phone.
awsome, didn't know that.!

Original HTC TouchPRO2 ROM

Hey guys, where could I find the latest ROM version for HTC TouchPRO 2 (Rhodium 300) shipped from HTC? I have a Tilt2 from AT&T, is it posible to run this ROM in this phone?
Thanks in advance ...
There are threads on official ROMs here, as well as the "cooked" ROMs. Also check the Wiki, at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Rhodium/Shipped_Roms
If you install HardSPL, then you can install other official GSM ROMs as well as those official ones specifically designed for your model/carrier/branding.

If he's got a Tilt2, then I don't think the official HTC site will let him download an official HTC ROM, because those are designed for HTC-branded phones.
you can download it here http://www.htc.com/sea/supportdownloadlist.aspx?p_id=250&act=sd&cat=all it will ask for your serial # to download.
There is a problem ...
The problem is that my phone serial number doesn't let me download the ROM, I'm not sure if it's possible to run a ROM from a HTC branded Rhodium 300 on a AT&T Tilt 2, even though they're the same device, and where can I download the ROM without a serial number, because I've been reading the Wiki and there is no post for that device (RHOD300).
Thanks you guys for your answers.

If you have HardSPL, then *any* official *GSM* ROM will work on your device (though you may need to install a cab to map the keyboard). So RHOD100/200/300 ROMs will all work on the Tilt 2. There are links to places to get official ROMs on this forum, try a search.
Did the RHOD100 ROM work for you?
I haven't tried ...
I've been around the Wiki but there's no RHOD300 ROM, and I don't want to try the RHOD100 one because is not the same device, time ago I had trouble doing that with my Kaiser, if anyone knows about a link to a RHOD300 ROM (HTC) it would be much appreciated.
I heard something about an update from Verizon for TouchPRO2 users, hopefully there's one from AT&T in his way ...

Don't count on ATT doing any update. You can run any gsm rhodium rom as long as you have hard spl.

All the roms are on there.
Thanks!!!
That's what i'm talking about, i'm gonna give it a try ... thanks bro!!!

Just to let you know (and anyone else who is interested), I flashed the RHOD100 ROM on my AT&T branded Tilt 2, and it works perfectly. You can download the ROM here: http://rapidshare.com/files/2924648...Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.17_Signed_Ship.exe.html
It's the OEM unbranded Touch Pro 2 ROM, like I said, no problems what-so-ever with my Tilt 2, I've been using it for a good 2 days now. I wanted the exact same thing you did, and trust me, I'm happy with it! Good luck
hi
im in the same boat as you. do u need to install cab to re-map the at&t keyboard?
cheers

Yes, if you flash a generic HTC ROM, then you will need a cab to map your non-generic (i.e. AT&T) keyboard.

In your opinion, between the three types of ROM, which one is more stable? Which one is better? I'm using the Sense 2.1 and it has a couple of bugs with the music tab, and some other that i don't remember right now, but i want to know what to use in order to avoid this little bugs.
To be honest, they all suck. But if you work on them with brain, all of them can be great. I suggest that you start with the Rhodium S.
Thanks for the advice ...
Yesterday I flashed the Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.49.25.91 ROM on my phone and i'm lovin' it, it was a good choice, the new Sense 2.5 has some improvements that make the Tilt2 an awesome phone, that's what i think ...
sorry to dig up an old thread, I have a stock tilt 2 (at&t) that has not had the hard spl done to it and wanted to know if I use Rhodium_S2_HTC_Europe_2.07.401.1_Radio_Rhodium_4.4 9.25.91 would I have to hardspl it or no because its an htc release?
