Evening all,
I also have a brand new Orange(UK) branded TyTnII. I have dumped the ROM following the guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334680, however the partition table looks a little different:

C:\Users\***\Desktop\ITS>pdocread -l
210.38M (0xd260000) FLASHDR
| 3.12M (0x31f000) Part00
| 3.50M (0x380000) Part01
| 69.63M (0x45a0000) Part02
| 134.13M (0x8620000) Part03
STRG handles:
handle e7489c1a134.13M (0x8620000)
handle 074970e6 69.63M (0x45a0000)
handle e74b0fda 3.50M (0x380000)
handle e74b0eee 3.12M (0x31f000)
disk e7489c1a
0 partitions, 0 binary partitions
customerid=00000000 uniqueid= 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
disk 074970e6
0 partitions, 0 binary partitions
customerid=00000000 uniqueid= 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
disk e74b0fda
0 partitions, 0 binary partitions
customerid=00000000 uniqueid= 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00
disk e74b0eee

customerid=00000000 uniqueid= 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00 00

which meant that the dump commands were:
pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part00 0 0x31f000 Part00.raw
pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part01 0 0x380000 Part01.raw
pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part02 0 0x45a0000 Part02.raw
pdocread -w -d FLASHDR -b 0x800 -p Part03 0 0x8620000 Part03.raw

The reconstruction was then as per http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066,
using the Windows.nb from http://rapidshare.com/files/65254405/WindowsFRA1.56.406.5.rar

The ROM has been rebuilt with Dark Simpson ROM tool, 7zip'ped and is availiable :

If anyone wants the RAW files, please let me know and I will zip and up those too. Usual disclaimers about me not being responsible for your bricks apply.

Nicely done......:)

In your original post about this ROM, I asked if you could post the OS and Build numbers, but you never did (and still haven't!) ;)

Go to Start | Settings | System tab | About - make a note of the line that starts "CE OS......" and post it back here please :)

This is the missing piece of the puzzle so to speak....when this information is available, then the cooks will know if the core of the O/S has been updated etc. before they waste time cooking with it.

Thanks in advance,

Mark.

Hi Steven,
I hope so! It's the reason I dumped and reconstructed this ROM - I have subsequently flashed the HTC shipped ROM to my Kaiser, and its running so much faster.

Although I have tested re-flashing this ROM to take me back to an Orange branding, I give no guarantees that it will return your Kaiser back to how it was when you bought it, or that it won't turn your Kaiser into the most expensive paper weight you ever bought.

As with everything on XDA-devs, its entirely at your own risk (but i'm glad I gave it a go!)

sirsyco has posted a guide http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335568 on reverting back to the original ROM, while using POF's Hard-SPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679 and CustomRRU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334890 should provide everything you need to flash to the first HTC shipped ROM, which you will find links to in various places in this forum.

Please note that I only flashed the HTC OS, not the radio stack or the splashscreen.

I am afraid I am not going to provide a step-by-step - all of the guides linked above provide the details to do what you want to do, and I am afraid I am of the opinion that if you don't get what is being described in those tut's, you really should not be dumping and flashing ROM's yourself.

No offence intended, but im not going to lead you out of your depth - I don't want anyone to fry their beloved Kaiser on my instructions! ;)

Rik

Can you tell me...when you flashed the OS only, did you get the SIMLOCK problem?

I think that was the mistake I did... I flashed the whole thing rather than the OS alone... i wasnt aware of this complication in changing other bit besides the OS...

My phone (originally Orange ROM) is still locked (24hrs now) but its usable if you put it on flight mode.. it seems to be faster..menus, keyboard opening response, applcation launch etc.. not sure how much having the phone part switched off effects the performance...

Could you share radio or raw from this ROM?
Thanks.
