HTC Touch Pro2 ROM Upgrade (EU)
An updated ROM is now available for HTC Touch Pro2 users to download. As always, HTC is committed to providing customers with the best possible mobile experience.
Improved Functions and Fixes:
* The Financial Providers Icon (Yahoo!) was placed in the Stock Tab in TouchFLO to clearly indicate where the data originated.
* The phone now shows the actual amount of RAM (288MB) instead of the amount used in previous models (256MB).
Download
Thank you for the information.
Actually allowing me to download it.
Probably won't flash it for a while.
Everything I normally use, works just fine.
If it ain't broke, don't fix it.
If you are having problems downloading it, get it here.

Downoaded it. Loaded it onto my TP2. Wished I hadn't. Performance is now dreadful!
Phone sticks in the call screen, and I've lost my licenced version of CoPilot.
I have all the ROMs except the Portuguese one (which I dont have a valid S/N for) at http://xda.caspersworld.co.uk
EDIT: Now have the Portuguese ROM as well

Thank you for the heads up. I was just about to download it when I read your comment.
My Rhoduim works great with the stock rom it came with. (1.19.401.0) So like the guy said in another thread here in the Rhoduim section "If it ain't broke it don't need to be fixed".
Don't get me wrong, I am looking forward to some custom roms.

I've downloaded it. Runs smooth, no problems. I updated my copilot last week with the one in the htc site. It wouldn't allow me to use my licence on it. Contacted copilot, they replied straight away with
Please proceed with the following instructions to allow you to activate successfully on the Touch Diamond 2 / Touch Pro 2.
1) Hard reset your device (as HTC stop CoPilot from being removed from the device once installed)
2) Download the latest installer from http://support-downloads.alk.com/copilot7-cabs/Touch-Diamond-Pro-2-Non-RPS-CAB.zip
3) Delete \Storage Card\CoPilot\Save
4) Unzip the above ZIP and it should contain a copilot.wm6ppc.cab
5) Download the map from our portal www.copilotlive.com/htc
6) Unzip the file and copy the folder CoPilot into your Storage Card
7) Install this on your device (navigate and tap it using File Explorer)
8) Once installed, Launch CoPilot
9) You will now be asked for a product key code
10) Select Manual Activation
11) Go to http://activate.alk.com and enter
Your Product Key Code
Your License number (found on your device manual activation screen)
Your Email Address
12) When provided from the Activation Website with an Activation Code, tap NEXT on your device and enter this into your device
13) CoPilot should now activate successfully
I tried it using automatic activation and it worked.
After updating to this new rom, copilot remained in my program directory and was still activated. Not sure how they managed to do that.
Hope that helps
what has changed? My rom has version 1.14.161.5 on it. It works like a dream after lots of tweaks and fiddles have been applied but I always want the the latest stuff. Does anyone know what has changed between mine and the new one?
I'm using a T-Mobile USA Touch Pro 2 and noticed that I'm running ROM 1.20.531.4 (51986) WWE with Radio 3.45.25.14.. If you guys need a rom dump of that, let me know, I'll see what I can do for ya'll
3g was gone
i am writing from Turkey and my carrier's name is turkcell... i installed that rom last night..it is bad for me, my carrier's 3g support was gone..the 3g icon doesnt appear anymore..what can i do ?
do you have 3G support with that radio?.

Yes, because it's an official TP2 for TMobile.
thanks for your response. I had some hope to be a radio based issue rather than the common hardware issue we've seen with all the generic devices. disregard my PMs though.
thanks again.
Q: can this be ported onto the US TP2?
CAN SOMEONE DUMP THE FILE HERE instead of going via HTC site
this cannot be port to youre device becouse there is NO hardspl.
you need that.. then you can flash roms other then youre languide (custom roms)
Hi all, newbie here.
I've got a UK vodafone Pro2 with ROM 1.14.161.5 (50207) WWE.
Tried updating the ROM but says my serial is not valid for this ROM!!!
I am also unable to update with the GPS hotfix as its not compatible ??
Is this due to the fact that its using Vodafones own ROM and therefore we arent allowed to reflash the ROM ?
I have emailed HTC but while waiting a reply was wondering if anyone here would help out.
Thanks!

did you get reply from HTC? I have the same issue with WWE version, and it's not branded.
Yeah i did, its due to the fact that its a custom Vodafone ROM. Therefore updating is not possible via HTC, they advised me to contact vodafone themselves to see if they have released any updates themselves.
couldn't find anything useful at all on the vodafone website.
Looks like I'm stuck... for now.
Apparently its not possible to to re-flash the ROM yet? something to do with HardSPL.. I don't know, complete noob at this so far.
Hope you have better luck.
Should I load the ROM??
I dont care what memory it says it has - I dont care where the finance quotes come from (these are the 2 stated improvements) - surely this is not the only reason to upgrade a ROM???
Hi,
I've asked a couple of times in the past how to get the htc touch input chinese module on a phone using the new 2.2 ROMs appearing on this board. I'm running the stock rooted ROM 3.15.405.3 but it only includes European keyboards.
GOAPK.com, the Chinese android developer site, has a new ROM for 2.2 out as well which includes the keyboard and handwriting recognition I want, its called htc_cime. My question is how to extract just the IME files and add them to an existing installation as a zip or apk, or how to include the files and add them to the ROM to install from ROM Manager.
I've found an APK under the \system\app\HTC_IME.apk of the GoAPK ROM but it won't install on its own... I get a warning saying that "This is a system application, do you still want to replace it" but it fails saying "Application not installed". Is this the right file? What am I doing wrong, where are the IMEs stored inside a ROM? This file isn't present in any of the other ROMs, so I guess it might not be the right one.
Files:
The download page for the whole GoAPK ROM, you need to register and post before you can download. Their BBS is as annoying as their ROMs are...
http://bbs.goapk.com/thread-34891-1-1.html
Link to the APK I extracted from that ROM
http://www.fileshost.com/download.php?id=B0F7369B1
Let me know if I should post any more information. There have been a few people asking for this in various forums, would appreciate learning to do it so I can teach others!
Why bother... Asian FroYo OTAs were released recently...
Mainly because I don't want to lose root. The only way to get an OTA is to unroot and downgrade to 1.31, correct? Or are there rooted Asian OTAs around somewhere?
There are several posts lying around explaining how to apply OTA updates and stay rooted... I think I wrote one myself...

It's actually so easy to know the exact build of Mango that it contains just dump the VersionID.txt from the IMGFS with HTCRIE as it contains all the compilation information.
someone has a link ?
I can't find it on samfirmware.
ROM is not deployed at this time because the files are not signed.
SamFirmware are looking for a solution for that ROM can be flashed.
what approximate date of Mango release??

Found KD1 on Samfirmware but it doesn't like my Onmia.....KH1 not in the list of download options, maybe a news article?
KD1 is signed by WP_ENGINEER certificate (or whatever, but it can't be flashed on our devices with our current SPL). The same is probably the KH2 ROM. If it was at least on their website, I could check whether it is Mango or not and whether I should mess with it around or not
The ROM I8700XXKH2 will not release !
What about power users?
This version will be release soon. With new radio and MANGO.
http://www.samfirmware.com/apps/blog/show/8355882-windows-phone-7-5-omnia-7
And for information there is another version for dev : ROM I8700XXKI1
If I understand the blog post correctly, they say, that they could not release WP7_PRODUCT ROM, so they released only WP7_ENGINEER.
If I had spare Omnia, I would give it a try, but I don't have one.
Hmm. I wonder if this one will have the new localized display languages?
Samsung could make a case in court against us.
Because the roms are officialy not released by Samsung we can't do this.
The only thing we can do is releasing the rom so you guys can try it by yourself.

ROM is release but not unlock for all of us. Only Devs.

Okay, me and Ceesheim are trying out something.
There is .cab.pks file in the update, that contains only OEM specific updates:
http://clip2net.com/s/19zi6
(left extracted ROM, right the update package for the same item)
Ceesheim is trying to flash it through "Zune", I don't have spare phone to mess around on
Will keep you posted.
// The only thing that might be problem is the Radio (PHONE) part, as that one is not updated. Yet we update RIL in one of the packages :/.
so as far as I understood they released a rom BUT no one can install it because it is only for engineer phones? what are we supposed to do with this release????
f5 f5 f5 f5... waiting for news!
Actually
the enclosed .cab.pks contains everything - new bootloader (5.3.0.8 - but BE WARNED, it might be LOCKED TO WP7_ENGINEER RATHER WP7_PRODUCT! So further flashing Retail ROMs might be blocked!), new radio (2424.11.7.2) and the new drivers set (2424.11.8.2).
The update was succesfully deployed, and the phone booted fine.
Ceesheim is still trying some functions (phone, SMS) and I am trying to take out the new bootloader from the update package.
Yes, as I was afraid, it flashed WP7_ENGINEER bootloader onto the phone with the rest of the stuff too.
Until I can figure out which package contains it, DO NOT FLASH IT! or you will be locked to ENGINEER ROMs only!
Is there a chance that the custom roms can be used in these china versions? I am tired of the blinkfeed screen and would like a custom rom installed to get rid of this. Not sure if these roms can be used without destroying 2 sim card support.
thanks.
just install a different launcher if you dont want blinkfeed
I'm not sure whether ROMs will work on your variant (but I'd guess that they would) but as long as you're rooted with a custom recovery installed then you could always try it and see if you can install them or not. Of course, just make sure that you make a backup beforehand so if anything goes wrong, you can make sure that you can recover your phone to a working state.
You don't actually need to install a custom ROM to get rid of blinkfeed though. If you take a look at Q12 on the HTC One FAQ, you'll see that there are 2 ways you can "get rid" of blinkfeed without needing to install a ROM.
*NOTE* As this is a question, you shouldn't have posted your thread in the development section. I've just asked a moderator to move your thread to the Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting forum. Please remember to use that section if you have any further questions.

So far all 3 recovers in one forum can not be flahsed into One 802w. So there is no way to root it at this moment.
Not sure any recovery can be made for 802w or not.

The HTC store is absolutely useless. There are so many things that are not available on it. But if you bought this phone in China, then you have no choice as the Play Store and any Google services are banned. I had to install a custom tweaked ROM that had google services on it to enable everything again.
Hi there,
I just purchase HTC ONE M7 802W (china unicom version with 2 simcard)
But Since I Need google framework (google appslaystore, map, gmail, google contact etc etc etc more importantly, I live in Indonesia)
Then I guess I need to install the google apps into my HTC one.
The question is:
Is it possible to install the google apps without flashing
Rooted 802w from Shenzhen?
May you let me know if I could buy one from your friend in Shenzhen rooted?
I am very interested.
This Is My First Shot at making something for this device,so please bear with me.
This Is A Custom Stock ROM that has been debloated and slimmed down a bit to my personal liking.
ive used SuperR's Kitchen on Ubuntu to bring this to you guys.
i used Captain_Throwbacks Metro Base ROM as a starting point.
i will include my list of apps that i have removed in the second post.
i would suggest a factory reset and dalvik/ART wipe
as always,if your device explodes or stops working,i assume no responsibility for any damages or data loss.
flash at your own risk.
if anyone has any suggestions and/or input,please feel free.
im no developer,just taking a shot at this.
the goal is to remove as much bloatware as possible,whilst maintaining stability.
:highfive:
i added /data/app support as well as busybox & deodexed the ROM.
im currently uploading my first build to google drive and will share links shortly.
bear with me as i dont have the best internet connection.
DeZiREv5K
OP Updated with newer build.
Code:
6-14-16 build changelog
--Removed HTC Launcher(replaced with google now launcher)

edit updater script to change out rom title
check what works and what does not
(Possibly) remove More files/Free up more space
upload newer build as first one fail with status 7 in recovery.(assert error)
Check my build and compare to yours to see what can be removed. I'm sure you will find a lot more that can be done.

Just looking at channel log I'm assuming this is still relevant. I'm on V3 and with some frustration (I don't have Wi-Fi and had to trick my 6yr old laptop to boot up) I got it running well.
As someone who has hard bricked smart phones since the xv6800, this is a first good go. Inspires me to start cooking my own roms.
Suggestion: A file browser would have made it so much smoother. No one with half a brain will ***** about es file explorer or root browser being cooked in. Fortunately bad habits inspired me to always backup original stock. Most people would've been screwed there. Dirty flash. Pdanet. Got it all up and going.
Keep up the good work. Look forward to any tweakings you find out of my league
Sincerely,
Satisfied end user

As someone who has hard bricked smart phones since the xv6800, this is a first good go. Inspires me to start cooking my own roms.
Suggestion: A file browser would have made it so much smoother. No one with half a brain will ***** about es file explorer or root browser being cooked in. Fortunately bad habits inspired me to always backup original stock. Most people would've been screwed there. Dirty flash. Pdanet. Got it all up and going.
Keep up the good work. Look forward to any tweakings you find out of my league
Sincerely,
Satisfied end user

Thank you for the input,much appreciated.also,i updated OP with a newer build that uses nova launcher as default and puts back a few apks that got cutout by mistake.
My phone got simlocked after trying this ROM. It's still locked even after restoring the nanodroid backup I made prior to flasing this ROM.
I'm not in the US sooo I am not using sprint.
Any advice?
Thanks

This ROM is based off of the original Stock MetroPCS USA variant,i didnt add anything that would potentially affect your simlock status.ive only removed stuff that was already there.
If youre not in the US and youre not using MetroPCS Variant of the phone,you shouldnt be flashing this ROM to be 100% honest.flashing incompatable firmwares across devices can sometimes lead to bricks.whats your Carrier and device?

That APK will just crash,as the required lib files etc to accompany the APK are missing.

I agree. It's very unusual.
I got this phone from a local phone shop. The owner seem to have unlocked the phone with some kind of service. I contacted my carrier who wrote down a couple of numbers from inside the phone (including the original phone number) and boom, I was able to use the phone with my number.
I have a theory about the error. Maybe you could see if that makes sense:
Maybe the phone isn't locked. But after a factory reset it keeps trying to "activate" the phone using the methods given by sprint.
There's this one step during the initial setup (right after factory resetting the phone) where it tries to register the phone, and fails. This step takes at least tem minutes and returns an error that locks up the phone.
I think the phone assumes that it's locked because it's not able to "reach" sprint servers and denies all incoming and outgoing calls/messages because of this.
If you know a way out of this please let me know.
Another user also provided me with an app that seems to be solving the issue. But it's not marshmallow compatible. Any ideas on that one as well?
Thanks a lot. And great debloating work you did there

Again,what is your Carrier?if youre using anything other than MetroPCS USA,you should not use this ROM.thats #1.#2 is if youre using sprint,you should get the RUU to return the phone to factory software,and i assume youre using sprint because our Metro devices havent gotten MM yet,and you mentioned it.
And yes,CDMA/Sprint phones will not work correctly if theyre not provisioned from the carrier correctly.so if the activation is failing,then youre not going to be able to use the device to send messages etc until its activated correctly.
Suggestion,try using nightbreeds MM ROM thats for those kinds of carriers.

Oh lesson learned. I'm from Yemen and my carrier is YemenMobile (CDMA). I don't know why but I assumed that the phone won't mind the ROM since it was kinda unlocked. SORRY.
The phone was saying Sprint when I bought it. I think I'm going to get back to factory and see if that does the trick. :-/
My extended apologies
