Newb looking to upgrade ROM - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

Hi,
I'm new to ROM upgrading and am looking for a clean guide. I would also like to get know which ROM to use out of all the various ones available here. I currently have the stock-ROM on my wizard (Qtek 9100) from May 06, and experience frequent spontaneous reboots, and have no Bluetooth Stereo capability.
I think there should be a sticky thread with a backing and upgrading guide, and a list of all the ROMs.

Newbie question - which ROM to use

Hi all
Complete newbie to ROM upgrades. I have a SPV M700 coming in the next few days and will be unlocking & flashing the ROM (currently Orange & WM5 I think). As there are many different ROMs available, I'm after some advice where to start.
From what I can see, there are 2 basic types - full (includes apps, config tools, etc) and lite (OS only). I'm guessing for me, a full ROM is going to be better whilst I get the hang of things, but which one to choose ? I think Schap's ROM has everything I need (and more) but welcome your advice.
Thanks

similar question really.
I have found http://trinityguides.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=25&Itemid=66 which seems quite good.
However will this result in a SIM unlocked device??
It would seem to SIM unlock I need to install a very old Radio ROM??
I think it is all quite confusing as obviously the different ROMs etc. have changed a lot over time and it is difficult to work out if the instructions I am reading are outdated.
Thanks for any help
The Trinityguides are very useful when it comes to the actual doing. My question was really which ROM(s) should I consider to upgrade to.

Latest Stable Rom assistance please?

Hey all,
First please let me say I am not looking for anyone to tell me what is the BEST cooked rom out there. I know each one has specific plusses and minuses that are suited to particular purposes.
Also, I have looked through this forum. I have read most of the WIKI, and spent an hour reading through various posts. However, I haven't found a concise discussion of this as many people are focusing on cooked ROMs.
I am getting a Tilt and from my reading so far I am pretty sure I want to reflash it with an HTC Rom. I want the TouchFlo and some of the other stuff that the HTC offers. I have some general questions though:
1) Is there a downside to putting HTC Rom on a Tilt? I know there are some little issues that have solutions (like keyboard remap) but will I experience any instability or call/data quality issues running HTC over ATT ROM?
2) Relating to #1...can/should I just keep the ATT ROM and can I then add everything from the HTC ROM (from cabs?). I don't know which solution yields the best stability.
3) Is there a reason why I would go with a 6.0 ROM instead of 6.1 ROM? I would like to believe that the 6.1 is the newer, better stuff...but maybe not?
4) What is the latest 6.1 official ROM? Is it RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship?
5) When it comes to "official" shipped ROMs and Radio firmware from ATT and HTC, is there any good reason not to use the latest versions? That is are any of the new versions a step backwards in terms of stability/performance?
I do not want to use any cooked firmware (at least initially). I would like to start with a vanilla shipped firmware and then add/remove things myself. If this comes down to me cooking my own ROM so be it, but I would like to start with the basic.
My goal is to have a ROM that will be fast and stable, with as few lock-ups or resets as possible.
Thanks for your assistance.
1)i dont believe so it depends on the radio i believe
2)i think u should flash cuz it'll remove all the atnt junk..bloatware n such
3)it all depends on personal pref...i did cuz i wanted the threaded sms function
4)i dont know.sorry
5)i think they're all pretty much the same..just gotta test the differnt versions to find out
most of the cooked roms i tried arent as bad...not many lockups or resets
i'm still a noob at flashing tho so still trying things out

Hard SPL - Custom ROM Installing Guide?

Hey,
It's been about 3-4 years since I last flashed my Dopod D810. I don't have the P3600i, and whenever i try to find those custom roms, they are more than likely designed for the P3600i.
Just recently, i found a few owners of the D810 (like me) and found a couple roms that support my D810.
Because I got a headache trying to make heads to tails on the threads, could anyone tell me what the instructions are on updating ROMs?
For example, I remembered installing Hard SPL, but now i noticed theres various versions (last I used v1.20). then there was some other file/program i needed in order to install other ROMS.... are there any specific instructions anyone could post here - perhaps this can teach others how to install in the future? Thanks.

HTC Official ROM - No FM Radio

I have just installed the new HTC ROM (1.19.401.1) over my original Vodafone ROM, but have noticed that for some reason I no longer have an FM Radio. I used to use it quite a bit on the Vodafone ROM, so any ideas why its missing on the official HTC ROM and more importantly, how do I get it back?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521356
or install EnergyRom Genesis (see my sig), the ROM is much better than stock and the radio app is already installed. The standard version is extremely stable, with the added bonus of WinMo 6.5, you won't look back!
Just a note of caution. You would have to install Hard SPL on your phone to install/flash any custom ROM. Which would void the warranty of your device.
Almost all Custom ROMs that are released here on XDA have FM Radio installed in them. So you can try any ROM.
But you are someone who is not aware of how ROM Flashing works... please take time to read through the stickys first before going ahead with it.
Its DEFINITELY not like installing a CAB.
Good luck.
Thanks for that. You are correct that I am new to flashing ROM's - although I have been using HTC devices for sometime now - but seeing as Vodafone have been so unco-operative when it comes to updating their ROM and also insisting on their horrible Red theme, then I figured I'd give it a shot.
I suppose worse can scenario would be if the phone ever needed to go back for repair, I could also ensure that the latest version of their ROM was installed.
Question answered.
Please search and read the sticky posts before starting a new thread. You'll find most common questions are answered somewhere .
Thanks

Audio input/output issues

Heya,
i have an MDA Vario III and i have recently updated to a new rom.
i used the newest HardSPL to date (3.xx) and a custom cooked rom.
my real problem though was after i updated to OliProf the audio iput/output would completely cut off. i found it was the radio rom, so i updated it AFTER i updated the hardSPL and rom, (i have 1.27.12.11). the sound worked fine after i did all this for a week or two, but now the sound has started stopping again, the only solution is when i flash the radio rom, but the sound would then cut off after 3/4 hours, meaning i have to reflash the radio rom every 4 hours
any help would be greatly appreciated

All newer ROMs are WM 6.1-6.5 so need the radio to match so you should be using a WM 6.1 Radio and not a WM 6.
The Ultimate Radio Thread
so what i should do is really is go through and try all the radio roms under W6.1? because even after reading, i am still confused as to which rom i should use to update, sorry ):
and FYI i found out that the rom im using at the moment is "THE AMAZING 23001 ROM by DJKOA"
and the SPL is 3.56 HARD
Go with the recommended radio "mind u i think that it's not matched" read the thread from back as sure posters have mentioned radio issue, then you will have phone working and from there only you can find the best Radio as it depends on so many variables location\carrier etc and effects battery life\data\GPS Fix.
And on another note H-SPL 3.34 is recommended for 6.5
