Guest nevawlkalone Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 Im after getting a new phone,(well i have been for aaaages but never mind) and, since i am, i want to try flashing my c550....just to se if i can do it.... My reasoning....i dont see the point in just seeling it as i doubt ill get much, no point it lying around doing nothing *IF* it works, i am rather curious as to what happens etc.... If i brick it then it no biggy as i will have a new phone so yeah... I was wondering....which ROM do i flash on to it....AND...if there are more than one then which one is the best?

Guest sporkguy Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 I'm not sure about the WM5 rom for the C500 as its a completely different phone - the screens are different resolutions for starters... wouldn't recommend it!! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest mini_man Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 true true, actually how about the WM5 Hurricane lookalike from O2 have they released a rom for that? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest fluffcat1 Posted April 11, 2006 Report Share Posted April 11, 2006 true true, actually how about the WM5 Hurricane lookalike from O2 have they released a rom for that? It's not a hurricane-esq, it has a different CPU and board layout. *It will screw your bootloader and you *will* have a brick* There was a topic recently where a polish guy tried an sp5m rom on his hurricane and killed it. After you do kill it the only flash option is the jtag service points, although you can use many different softwares to flash jtag you need an interface to the testpoints and a rom to flash to it to recover. With other phones you usually get a PCB to fit over yout phone PCB with pins sticking out and an RJ45 connector - you clamp this to the board and use your app to flash the rom. I can't find any jtag data for HTC devices. There is the vapourware i-mate sp4m which I've never seen mentioned on i-mate's site, or I believe one of the MDA's may also be a clone? Maybe consider buying a jafwm? They have a library of firmware and their app strips the need to mess with the CID of the rom - I don't know what roms they have but I'll ask. Cost is about Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest fluffcat1 Posted April 12, 2006 Report Share Posted April 12, 2006 Be reet, if i cock it up ill send it you for fixing....n it'll ,magically come back as a Vario...lol ;) ;) ;) Can't do jtag flashes and the Qtek 9100 is 'on loan' elsewhere so no vario for you today, sorry... ;) If you *really* want to kill your phone then as long as you don't open it you can send it back to HTC with a keypad fault and it'll come back re-flashed and fixed :P ( Not that I ever do that you understand ;) ) or you can have a faulty hurricane board to fit inside your phone to experiment on for a nominal fee... But Typhoons are *much* more fun to mess with as there are *so many* roms to play with out there! Dopod, Audiovox, Qtek, Imate, Krome, Orange, Telefonica to name but 7...I'll swop you a typhoon if you like? Richard Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
