This is a good read:

You can always contact toyour "support contact" for the old ROMs if you aren't happy with the upgrade. But I see no specific reason why a official stable ROM upgrade wont satisfy your mobile/PDA needs.
hey it is just the new upgrade i did
is draining too much of battery from my mda
dont know why
but i will give it like a couple of days and if it keeps on doing that then i will be goin back to the old rom
coz after all a phone has to be a phone and can not be on a charger all the time

Hi guys,
I've just gone through a guide on how to unlock my phone, so awesome, Step 1 is done!
Now, with having currently an Orange (UK) based stock rom, I'm looking to get rid of it, and needing to know before I flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715
What is a Stock Rom?
I'm sorry for the stupid question, and I did search quickly, but nobody has asked this, and all the queries come up are people talking about stock roms.
Thank you,
It's not a stupid question, a Stock ROM is a ROM that is provided by your telecom company or the manufacturer of your phone (Like HTC), so that means a standard ROM without any of the wonderful hacks and additions the guys on this site came up with .
So when you buy a brand new phone the ROM that is on there would be a stock ROM.
Wow, thanks Mad.
Now the problem I have now, is it says "flash stock rom before flashing this", so what should I flash it to first?
I like the look of that rom above you see, and just not sure what to flash it to first.
If you bought your phone from your provider and not
second hand, it will have the stock rom on it, so you would be good to go. Make sure you read the flashing guide, and check radio compatibility with the rom you would like to use.
My preference is to flash with the sd card, rather than a RUU from the desktop. I've had much more success that way.
Good luck and happy flashing!

Thanks Criss,
How would I backup my stock rom, and radio?
Because a few people who make the Rom's are abroad, I've no way of knowing if the radio's they've used are compatible with my network provider here in the UK.
Whats some things I should look out for?
Thank you,
the search area at the top right hand corner.. Then just type in "how to backup stock rom"
Thats what I would do.
rofl, thanks Chumley.
I've just been lazy and started flashing from my Stock ROM.
Balls to it, hopefully I won't ever need to go back, but nevermind. My mistake and downfall!
I would keep a copy of your providers shipped rom around

You'll need it in case you need to make a warranty claim. You can check with the support section of their website, or the Kaiser Wiki could point you in the right direction.
No warranty on the phone, its secondhand.
I'll have a look to see if there are stock roms available through Orange / HTC for it.
Thanks once again!
The rom loads and looks lovely, shame I cocked up the theme, but i'll sort that out later when I can be bothered!

Have you applied the Hard-SPL first?
There's some steps detailed in one of the stickys for flashing for the first time;

Firstly flash the phone by Hardspl- ing it, this allows you to install non certified roms onto it
secondly download and install energyrom ensuring you hae a fully charged battery
works a breeze

Please follow the flashing guide posted above.

hello i am sort of a noob on flashing phones, i just got my T-MOBILE Touch Pro 2, im very pleased with it, i downloaded the EURO WM 6.5 and..3G wouldnt work..and my keyboard mapping was wrong, i switched back to TMO Stock ROM, now i am look for the best stable fast running fun ROM,
ive seen many impressive ROMS outhere, but again im a noob, iam looking for a ROM that supports TMO 3G as in CoralSprings FL i have full 3G signal, please i would really appriciate your help, thanks in advance..
It all depends on what you install and what you use your phone way. Best way to find out is to read ROM threads, and flash and enjoy. Just make sure you have HardSPL before you flash custom ROM.
Mate I'm a complete noob as well.....
You just posted the same thread two days ago.
People posted help there.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572868&highlight=tmobile+keyboard
now go here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550559&highlight=tmobile+keyboard
It has all the T-mobile keyboard fixes.
Now you can use any ROM you like.
Don't ask people for the "best" or "most stable" ROM. Cause nobody knows what "the best" or "most stable ROM" is. It will depend on your own personal taste and situation. Give 'em a try and find something you like.
Oh and finally. I started on the Touch Pro 2 a couple of days ago. Had never used a WINMO phone before, never flashed, applied a cab, or anything. Although I've managed to do all of the above with a bit or "searching" and reading of this forum. Use the "Search" tool, it's excellent. And only ask a question if you've searched and searched and searched and still can't find the answer.
Best of luck
HDSPL then flash them all and you will find one that fits for you.
ikno guys, i already hardspl, but idont want to keep flashing and flashing, but yea isee what you guys mean, im downloading the energy rom, looks pretty cool,and alot support for TMO users,

No problem, that's the way to start and that's how we all started.
ooo yeah i had 4gten bout that post, sorry,
so i also read that the 3G depends on ur radio, can u guys help with that? please,
I haven't heard about that because my 3G worked right out the box with stock radio.
But I have the latest HTC and it seems to be working real well. Also read positive posts about it so give it a try.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4360836&postcount=2
BTW, their is NO WAY to return back to the stock radio once you flashed a new radio. UNTIL someone finds a way to release it to us.
wel mine too, but when i had the custom rom, it didnt work.
Please find your own ROM, today's best might nott be tomorrows best, and you might not like what someone else likes.

Hey everyone
I know there's way to own same time more than 1 rom on your SGS, but i can't find any tips how to do it. Basicly i want to try MIUI or CMW rom and same time i want to keep mine Darkyy rom
I dont think 2 roms on one phone would work and even if it did i cant imagine it would be good. Theres too many things that the phone would bneed to do. why dont you just make a back up of the rom everything you have now flash to the rom you want to try and restore. Iv done that a few times and its worked very well.
It'll be possible soon with vmware.
