If you are having to ask these questions, its pretty obvious you haven't done much in the way of reading the information in this forum or in the Wizard WM6 forum. You need to read all the stickies here to understand the process. Go into the Wiki (link is at the top of every page) and read all you can there as it points you to important information. You have to understand this stuff before you attempt to flash your phone or you may find yourself with an expensive paper weight (thats not a joke. Some of this stuff will kill your phone if you don't know what you are doing and/or skip steps).
As for the image backup, do a search for awizard. I haven't used it (yet) but its supposed to do what you are asking for (ROM and apps).
After reading the stickies and the Wiki, the best place to go to find the WM6 ROMs is in the Wizard WM6 forum. But -- Do NOT do any flashing unless and until you understand everything that you need to do in order to unlock and flash the ROM. Failure to follow directions to a "T" will result in a very expensive paperweight.
Hi all
I am Essam,
I just have an issue when I am trying to upgrade my ROM
I download WM6.1 from the HTC.com and upgrade my older wm6.0
After that I want to change that ROM with a new one (cooked/normal) but every time I try to do this the setup failed and gives me an error message
So I can’t change the ROM at all
Ii have tried diff ROM but in vain
I don’t know what to do i am new in this field plz give me a hand
You need to be alot more specific
1. did you use jumpSPL---HardSPL what version
2. What phone are you using, If a Tilt then the htc rom wont work unless you have done step 1.
3. Did you read how to do this (custom roms)
4. Why didnt you post in the correct section, you should not have even posted a new thread because your answers are in the rom section in the stickys.
Im not trying to sound like a jerk, but you need to read. If you just don't know what your doing then don't.
i did use a HardSPL
and i read how to setup custom ROM and done exactly what i have read
and sorry for posting in the wrong section
Hi,
Hope someone can help.
Been trying to instal Dutty's wm6.5 R12 rom on my touch hd but whatever I try, it just gets stuck at the screen with the bar and stay at 0%.
I have searched the forum and tried almost everything I could find. SSPL HSPL USPL and all won't work.
Anyone have any ideas for a noob?
i doubt if you can find someone who can guide you step by step, i suggest you study more, i was like you before, but i just persevered, unti i was confident enough to flash my first cooked ROM. CAUSENOT ALL BLACKBONE, have the same default factory settings, different stock ROM versions and different spl.it does require time and patience, but in the end this will al l payback.

yeah, this realy helps. Why do people bother to reply if they have no awnser.
I mean I have read those guides on the forum and been busy for a week on it now. I know what spl version I have and which version of hard spl i would need and so on. But it just will not open up.
So if there is someone out there that wouldn't mind HELPING me I would realy apreciate it. But just telling me to search better is no help at all. I have searched with all terms I know but haven't found the right soulution by myself. That is why I ask for HELP, not for smart asses.

look, no one is being a smart ass here. in addition, your description of the the steps you've followed are very vague. my friend, we see 5-10 posts like this every day and in every case, the OP has missed/skipped one or two steps in the flashing process. simply stated, the guides WILL help you flash your device. if as you stated, "SSPL HSPL USPL and all won't work you have to complete this task first. you HAVE to update your SPL before you can flash Dutty's ROM. put your device in bootloader mode and if IT DOES NOT display the following, you will not be able to flash a ROM:
BLAC120 (or BLAC110) 32M
SPL-1.56.01 OliNex
MicroP-BlackStone (LED) v 6
you HAVE to complete this step before you can flash any WM 6.5 ROM. read the guides, make your own easy-to-understand-checklist and follow it to confirm you've completed ALL the steps. be patient and you'll succeed. as a reference, you can use the links in my signature to help you with the process. good luck.
Hi,
I not sure you read the Dummies guide yet.
[TUT] Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] - [HSPL][USPL]
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
Troubleshooting - manual SSPL
* Boot up your phone.
* Copy SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe to your phone. In a file browser on your phone browse to where you copied SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.exe and run it.
* Your phone will reboot into its bootloader and should show SPL v 1.07.OliNex.
* When it shows USB at the bottom then run HSPLWrapper_blackstone_156OilNex.exe from your computer again.
* Go to step HSPL3 if successful.
Try to follow this step. Copy the file to phone and boot from there. then u should be able to do so.
Hi guys and girls,
thanks for trying to help. I do understand that people like me who are new to flashing a cooked rom will ask many silly questions. I'll try and formulate better which steps I have done.
I noticed on my bootloader screen that I have spl-1.54.0000. I therefor downloaded the file SSPL-Manual-TouchHD.zip and transfered the exe file to my phone memory. I then started it on my phone. It starts the bootloader screen and tells me:
BLAC100 MFG 32M SS-BC
1.07.0liNex XA
MicroP-Blackstone (LED) v6
From hereon I have tried to run USPL but it tells me it cannot connect due to faulty USB drivers which I have updated with the supplied drivers as indicated. Even with a different cable and a different USB port, USPL will not connect.
I have also tried to run the RUU HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.exe but it then starts the screen with the percentage bar and gets stuck. After a few minutes it comes with either error 260 or 262 wicht is an update failure I have read. Just the fix to start over again and reset your systems didn't do anything for me.
Since I know that poeple are able to use this rom I am defenite that it is by my own shortcommings that I can't seem to do it. But after having tried a lot, I can not see what I am doing wrong anymore.
Hope this is a better explenation and thanks sofar already.
Ps: I have tried both USPL3 and USPL5 from http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3930878&postcount=3. I just can't seem to connect with USPL.
If you run win7 (and vista) x64 especially, loading unsigned drivers for usb doesnt work by default, this might be your problem.
You could try the following, boot you pc and just after the bios is loaded press F8 (or just keep pressing it multiple times) and a menu will appear which includes: "Disable Driver Signature Enforcement" try this, and after boot you should be able to make the usb drivers work, so reinstall them and try uspl (dont forget to not allow usb connections in windows mobile device center)
Hope this helps, if not, move along

I take exception to this. No need to be a smart a**. Obviously jigners was only trying to help, like others before.
If your having difficulty your queries should be directed to the dummies guide thread where people like myself as well as other expereienced users will be more than happy to help you. No need to create a new thread for queries that have been asked umpteen times before.

You need to HardSPL your device first. Follow the link below and read ALL of it before attempting to flash. If you follow the instructions EXACTLY as they say, then you will have no problems...

Hold down "Home" and hit "Power." Then hit Alt+F.
Also, this should be in Q&A.
i am actually wanting a step by step instruction.
something from the unboxing to the actual booting proces ..

I like the description of the process on this site. it is complete but a little old. The links should work.

READ THE WHOLE THING FIRST.

Lots of the same stuff with more options.
There are new versions of the recovery image and the Roms which are in the development section on xda. Just be sure to read everything a few times and you'll have no trouble.
i will check the site now
thank you
And please please please make sure you understand everything about Haykuro's (Danger/Death) SPL IF you decide to flash it. It's pretty much the only way you can brick your G1. If your ROM doesn't require Death SPL then skip it until you get the hang of flashing things.
