You might be posting this in the wrong section of your brain The guys n gals on the board are generally a happy and helpful bunch, but we always prefer for you to make an effort, even the most feable attempt at failure, before asking questions asked a septendecillion times before.
Have a look at the index page, and you can probably match your device to a picture of your phone. Read the rules on the board (posted in the General thread). And please read everything you can on the wiki, or even google for it.
Basically, the radio rom is the bit that does the radio bit of your phone - communicating with the phone (which is basically a "radio"). You shouldn't need to upgrade the radio part of the phone if you're having no problems.
Upgrading the OS part of the phone will give you new software etc. But the radio is normally fine unless you specifically know that there's a better version around.
But read first, ask questions later.

Well, apparently there is no way to tell if your phone is CID unlocked just by looking at it. you can check out the thread about unlocking your device that-s in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and do it. it doesn't hurt, and then you can be sure you have an unlocked device.
then you can flash any wizard ROM you like (provided you do have a Wizard, of course )
enjoy!

Yea just follow the guide. its pretty easy.

ok one last thing....my IPL and SPL are both currently 1.05....so do i need to downgrade first or can i just flash a new ROM straight away ?

anyone ???

Hi there, sonny.
Yes, it is possible.
So far, my reply is the only one you will get, because these s*ckers seems to have something against noobs.
anyway, if you don't understand the steps in the wiki, i can give you a hand, and help you, stuff i never got from those guys.

Thank you a lot, can you put the principal steps to make a good rom update in the forum ???
thank

help

its not some are againts noobs, everyone is here to help, and learn, but if someone is asking the same set of questions which are answered several times in the forum or mentioned in the wiki, then......................

Yes I understand but I'm not totally sure about what I have readed in the wiki and I don't want to break my Blue Angel because it's an expensive phone. So if someone can just give me some steps to do a good rom update it would be very cool

If i would act like that on my 2 forums, for sure they would be empty right now.
And i never got help here!
All i know now, and have my BA in less than a week, i took the risk to try!
Nicely, I have now one great rom, and the PDA at his top!
Everyone can read the wiki, yes, thats true, but is very normal someone have doubts, is afraid, etc!
Beside following the wiki steps, it is important that you have the battery charged, and the minimum amount of programs running on the computer.
Those 2 basic steps will help a lot.

Well you guys want too much don't you think ?
Why don't you ask HTC or Microsoft for a guide with simple steps and pictures ?
I will answer the above question - because they won't bother to make it, operators have rom upgrading guides, if you know basic procedure you will have no problem using MAUpgradeUT_NOID.exe for upgrade, it is written all over the board, but someone should read it.
Everyone has more or less fear when he upgrade hes device for a first time, here was the same, i took the risk and a after more than a year i am rom maker (not consider myself as the best one)
TIP: You do not need to read, you must read and understand what you are reading

I don't have any problems to upgrade at my own.
I upgraded, downgraded, upgraded again, etc, and din't asked help to do those stuff.
But you know, no one is equal to another and everyone is different.
If he is afraid and have doubts, what we should do?
Spank him? No!

hi i am using cingular 8125 & i want to update it to windows 6 . So how its possible & pls provide ma the link of best rom verson

1. Don't double post. Doing so wastes everyone's time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314564
2. Don't come here and expect us to tell you everything. There are guides posted explaining how to unlock and flash your device. There's a Wizard wiki. There's a full FTP site with tools and programs.
Bottom line: read, read, read.

Read the sticky's!

tell you what, we'll all help you upgrade...if you still can't do it yourself, if you can tell us WHY you want to upgrade to WM6.

Or just go back to school so you can learn to read all the DAMN STICKIES!!!!

hey shimpy,
i too am a novice to mods for pocket pcs. fortunately for me i have experience in regular pcs and the others are right if every member spent all their time "holding your hand" then there would never be mods made. Basically just browse around and read a few posts and search out ones from guys like faria and you won't be disappointed.

need help of senior members for touch diamond, 2g, edge, indian, diam140

for starters for all practical purposes im a baby....my diamond is bloody slow...deatils for senior members are....rom : 1.37.720.2WWE, radio : 1.00.25.03, spl : 1.37,0000, diam140, microP-diam(led) v11, PSOC-diam stage_pvt v0*30.....these are the specs....boinger(senior) now suggests flashin spl, and radio update for updanting to any rom u choose, some other senior guys says diam140 users dont update.....other seniors say flash only signed and only the one your phone came with....to put it mildly im a bit overwhelmed.....can any senior provide a laymans answer.....this is my third htc and this one is so slow its a pain.........

mere bhai.. here is kaiser thread
EDIT: now here the correct place

Well for starters, how about some line breaks and correct punctuation on your post?
That would help us all to understand it better without having to read it 2 or 3 times.
Now a suggestion.
First thing you need to know is that there is an official Rom available for your Diamond that will make it more responsive and will keep your warranty intact.
Go to www.htc.com and register yourself in the htc club, then register your Diamond.
Now select "My Download" on the left side of the page and choose "Device Updates". You should see a picture of the Diamond. After this is quite straightforward. Just be sure that your Diamond has more than 50% of battery left before upgrading it.
Another detail, the update will delete all your information on the Diamond so i would make a backup before. Search the forum for Backup options.
If you are more needy, then check the Rom Development section and there you can choose a Rom that suits your needs, but for this you will need to upgrade your Hard SPL with one that allows you to upgrade to "non" standard Roms. Everything is clearly explained there, take your time to read it, do it when you feel confortable with it. Ask questions about the process, but please, try to do it yourself, this is the only way you will learn.
Hope to have helped.
Regards,
Luís

Unbelievable...
So let's see, you created an account in XDA and then decided to post the same question in three different sections.
This will not get your questions answered faster, actually it will only prove that you are a little bit on the lazy side to read the posts on the forum.
All you questions were already asked and answered, so please use the search and stop spamming the forums.
Edit: Now the posts were merged, so please make sure that whenever you have a doubt that you post it once in the right place. Hope you have learned your lesson. We all should once in a while learn with our mistakes ;-)

firtsly put the same question in diff posts coz didnt know which thread/conversation exactly my questions wud fit in.....secondly not everyone in this world is a techie.....i started with the obvious that is htc website....have no updates yet on india....tried hong kong rom coz thats the one that came out first...didnt work, read some more n learned about spl and flashing it....and how to update the device, also read about experts saying on this forum itself diam140 users do not update your rom from what is currently available, then read some more posts from boinger...who starts with his hardspl...dont know whether signed or unsigned...has his own rom...then he figures out flash hardspl and update radio...then choose your rom....ok...between signed and unsigned spl, between radio first or htc asia rom or somemodified rom like panosha.....or maybe ending up with a bricked phone....its a bit much to digest if u dont have the background.....can any "expert/senior" member say simply...for indian 2g/edge phone......use unsigned hardspl 1.37 or 1.40....update with not a cooked but htc rom for lets say asia but not hongkong....hongkong is in asia right ?.....i will not get 2 simple lines but yes the free educational lessons in posting and grammar abound......but really sarcasm aside thank u for your time.

Interested Newbie Query

So, I am a newbie ... a newbie willing to learn Up until now, I've been using the P1i and hacked it successfully. The windows OS however is a new ball game!
I had the Xperia in hand for a couple of days, had a feel of it and gave it back to a friend. I now intend to take it back and play with it!
I intend on getting my phone to a state as seen in the video/ pictures on:
Xperience v4.5 Landscape (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485624&highlight=Touch+IT+4.5)
Touch-IT 7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503732)
XPERIA Gen II (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497092)
Wanting to see my phone as mentioned above, I've been searching and reading the forums for some days now. Aside from getting more fascinated, I have not really managed to understand a whole lot and hence am looking forward to helpful folks out here to lead me initially through my first couple of experiments.
On that note, can some one first tell me what is Hard SPL and if I MUST necessarily do it before I start modifying my X1?
Hard-SPL for Xperia X1 - Released! (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218)
I noticed this huge "THE XPERIA X1 LIBRARY" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477801) and was wondering which of those I must use?
And finally, is there a starters/ toddlers/ newbies guide to work through to my first real mod? With so many materials out here, its really difficult to understand the real starting point!
Details of my device:
ROM Version: 1.02.931.3
Date : 08/29/08
Radio Version: 1.06.25.29
Soft Id: 1213.6450
Soft Version: R1AA017
Customization Id:1215-1832
Custom.. Version:R15Awhat
Custom.. Variant:Generic UK
Thanks in advance for any help
PS. If someone can point me to thread for where I could get a start, that would be great ... something like what is hard spl and what are the first steps I should go through!

yeah, interesting... I have visited XDA-developers site many times since 2007. I have learned some of the stuffs reading through thousands of pages. But still learning... and GOOGLE....GOOGLE and GOOGLE.
I heard that somebody has made an ebook with all the stuffs you are asking and selling it for 99 Euro. Do you wanna buy?

Begin with the library!

the video biovolt posted help me out plenty and should be the same for all newbies. you will only thank him for doin it in the 1st place.

You definately need to HardSPL first before fashing a custom ROM...I recommend doing this because you are still using R1AA...
Anyway read the sticky Threads and you should find help!
The last thing: Nice to see you here, congrats to your first posting!

Yes I believe that you need to hard spl before a custom rom. But dont take my word for it, im still a newb
