Clean ROMs - 8125, K-JAM, P4300, MDA Vario Software Upgrading

I was wondering why no one ever posts the Clean unmodified ROMs that all these other ROMs are based off of? I would love to see some ROMs that are as they come from MS or HTC, with only the required hardware drivers.

For WM6 the Orwell version is "clean".
For WM5, just pick any ROM such as the T-Mobile shipped ROM. After you have upgraded the ROM, hit reset before it starts to install the Provider's customization, you will have a clean ROM.
You can also flash the blank extended ROM to have a clean extended ROM.
There you go... You don't need to wonder or beg anyone to post any "clean" ROM for you.

The original poster was probably referring to all of the newer AKU 3 stuff.
If you check in the ftp, you'll only find one clean AKU 3 and that is the zeroxtreme ROM. I personally like it better than all of the custom ROMs because it's proven and is very frugal with the battery. In addition, I don't think it has an IPL/SPL (don't quote me on that, see for yourself). As stated by mtvn, you can download the manufacturer's ROM's and skip the customization, but they are only AKU 2.x. I have a copy of Orwell's but I'm not sharing right now.

Can a2dp function be extracted from Beta Roms that have it?

and inserted somehow into the official HTC roms like the Wizard and Apache roms that lack this feature. With the 6600 we were able to update the bluetooth stack using cab files. You think any cab files exist or can be created that would let us update aku 2 roms that lack a2dp to give it that functionality
i would like to hear an answer to this one, so i bounced the message back up to the top.
when i decompiled the latest tmo universal rom i saw a bt a2dp .dll file
if there are any testers i could compile the files into a cab format but i need all the files list that would be neccessary for a working a2dp profile
This would be the greatest thing since sliced bread if possible!
shameless bump

Hi all,
I still use the beta rom just to get A2DP working...
Did you notice this thread? Seems very active.. and have some results

good night
Anyone running one of the leaked test ROMs that has a2dp working, can you tell me what the OS version and build number is?
This is what your'e looking for summiter, it's the same one I had you build for us with the cingular customizations. You would be some kind of Hero if you could merge this with the 2.17 rom and cingular ext rom.

Actually, what I'm trying to find out is if the core OS build is the same in the a2dp test ROMs as it is in the officially released (but a2dp-free) AKU2 ROMs.
On the AKU2 ROMs, if you go to Start->Settings->System->About the OS build is reported as:
OS 5.1.195 (Build 14847.2.0.0)
If the leaked test ROMs have the same core OS, then the only difference between them and the AKU2 ROMs would be the radio, bootloader, and customizations...in which case I could build an installer that has the core OS with a2dp, but with updated radio, bootloader, and customizations.
The installer I built from that test ROM has the Cingular customizations we want on the 8125, but the radio and bootloader are potentially older.
Now that would be SWEET!!!

summiter,
I just installed your custom built 2.8 ROM. The OS build is the same as you have indicated above the radio ROM and the loaders all had different versions.
Then using awizard, I extracted the OS ROM, installed your custom built 2.17 ROM, and then using awizard, I loaded the extracted 2.8 ROM. So now I have the latest radio, boot loaders, etc but with the 2.8 OS!, So far things seem to work OK, haven't tried push email, as I still don't have any place to test that from. But I have A2DP! and am loving it so far.
So now your next challenge is to extract A2DP and build a 2.17 exe
Oh BTW, just an FYI I have the old CommManager screen though.
Thanks for all your efforts!
Shankar.
Anyone want to make a rom that uses the Tmobile UK rom and adds a2dp? That way all us blackberry users could have it as well

Request: WIZARD AKU 3.3 Clean.

Can Someone please upload wizard aku3.3 clean version,
I just saw that Kyphur released a crosswbow version,
I would really like just a clean sime version with no addons.
If it will be possible it would be great.
Many Many Thanks
Jimmy.
I would like a clean 3.3 as well. I would prefer to do my own customizations
me too please
Can we also have it with more free ram via the page pool fix?
Somebody first have to make such a rom and then to upload it here!
I also prefer clean roms, and perform my customizations manually.
All the cooked roms we got here are result of peoples hard work that won't be payed, and thank them again for this. But, they are also humans and create roms to satisfy their own needs, therefore most of roms won't be all the way most of all wanted them to be. I try lots of roms customized to have ringtones, explorer cache and so on the storage card, but what about those who doesn't use storage card? There are roms with tons of apps, most of them useless. There are even roms with warez software... Those who can't live with this, should try to cook rom for themself, or pay some of the developers to make them a perfect rom.
So far I found Molski's roms to be most likely to the perfect one I'd like to have. If he decide to make AKU 3.3 rom, I suggest you to try it.

Well i assume the guys making the cooked roms must have a clean one. Where do they get the rom from that they use as the base of their cooked rom?

Suggest me a stable wm6.1 rom

I 've been moved to another device last year, and my old-good hima needs a stable-good and (if there is) vanilla wm6.1 rom.
I 'm hearing your suggestions.
Thank you.
All ROMs on this forum are stable. For WM6.1, u can try any ROM based on build 19213 or 20262. I myself use the sun_dream ROM based on build 20262.
bump!
Can you also suggest of WM6.1 ROMS that are quite clean (like Tof_clock's 6.0 ROM). By clean I mean one that's pretty much the real 6.1 with only the pure useless features removed, and that's only added with really vital add-ons, not too many customizations done by the cooks that will make you feel "OMG this feels like someone else's PocketPC". Something very similar to Tof_clock's. I really love that ROM
Thank you.

If you can show me a device manufacturer that sells uncustomized ROMs on their devices you will very soon find a clean ROM here. Until then, it is likely the ROMs here will resemble the device they were ported from.

Touchflo3d CAB or 6.5 or cooked ROMs??

Once again, im a little confused...i have a brand new X1..am thinnking what should I do...
should i upgrade to WM 6.5..(I dont want a cooked ROM, iwant an official 6.5 OS that i can install, upgrade, like we do when we go to Vista to Win7 etc.
BTW: Can u provide me a link for an unofficial but clean OS)
OR
Should I go on installing a cab of a TouchFlo3d
OR
Flash my X1 with a cooked ROM (still cant understand which one)
Thanx a lot..
Personally if your even contemplating flashing your X1, you might as well go with one of the 6.5 builds, they are far superior in My Opinion to the 6.1
there are several good ones out there, so its personla choice as to which you use, I guess it depends on Features cooked in, applications, battery life, stability etc.
Flash Cooked ROM with 6.5. Recent ones are very fast due to having better drivers support as opposed to stock roms
Cab of TF3D won't be optimized.. would be sluggish
alrite i agre with what you are saying cykalu, but then again, these cooked ROMs wont be originals rite? and not only that, are they all BETA or full and final ROMs??
Just wanted to know...

They won't be original but Sony Ericsson decided not to give X1 users the latest (6.5) updates. Therefore all cooked 6.5 roms are much better than original because the chefs has included and tweaked around with X2's drivers so X1 can use them which are more optimized than SE's stuff.
Beta or no Beta, as long as they work it's good. look at Windows 7 RC2, it's beta but it was basically the final after a few minor patches..
If you aren't a user who likes fiddling with your device I recommend you stick with stock ROMs. Cooked ROMs usually have bugs which range from minor to game-ending (e.g. the reset bug that seems to exist in every cooked ROM).
Personally I'm not a fan of Touchflo (especially the Leo version), it makes the inconsistent WM interface even more inconsistent.
If you really want WM6.5, flash gtrab's 5.07 ROM and install the X2 cabs from the themes and applications forum. It'll be as close as you can get to a WM6.5 ROM upgrade. There are only two bugs with this ROM that I've found, one of which is fixed by installing the X2 dialer (the other one is the reset bug that every ROM seems to have). Just sync with MS My Phone or something to minimise the impact.

I know exactly how you feel about modifying your new xperia...I was like this one month ago...My xperia is only 3 months old so I was little nervous....So I went through all the flashing tutorials in here and also downloaded BioVolt's video tutorials...And one month back I flashed my xperia for the first time...I flashed it with the Xperia Unoffcial release ROM, I did all the steps exactly as it was mentioned in the tutorials and my xperia was flashed successfully...but after that I tried to do the hard reset, I wasnt able to do hard reset twice...I thought I bricked my phone ....i was little panic...I once again went through the tutorials and done it third time...This time I was able to do a hard reset successfully and my phone booted up with the new Unofficial Xperia 6.5...after that I flashed 2 or 3 ROMs and finally sticked up with Sonblack's SB20 release which I found to be stable,fast and attractive with its touchflow manila interface...I dint had any weird experience with this one...

Point to updating ROM?

I have been browsing through the forums here for a couple of days, and I see a lot of ROMs for everything from WM6.5 to Google Android. I also see threads about updated radios that I have not read much into yet. Presently I am quite happy with my phone, WM6.1 + SPB 3.5 shell. My Kaiser is as follows:
ROM: 3.57.502.2 WWE (07/17/08)
Radio: 1.65.21.18
So I was just wondering, is there any practical advantage to a new ROM other than having a new interface and/or new software?
Well, cooked ROMs are generally MUCH faster than regular stock ones, and they also have more features or programs that are usefull compared to the stock bloatware that is a normal ROM.
Well, personally I understand your point here and your concern about what is the added value to flash/update to a new rom version. My personal suggestion to you is that you back up your current data and try a couple of cooked roms and that you experience if there is some improvement in the new rom that you picked.
If you are happy, leave the phone alone.

You can always go back to stock ROM after having a play.
Have fun flashing
Just be sure to remember that if your phone is still under warranty , that flashing a custom rom will void this warranty. If your phone breaks or crashes, AT$T and HTC will not fix it with a custom rom or spl on it. There are ways to get it back to warranty-able condition, but it is not as easy as just reflashing the stock rom.
