Wouldn't it be nice not to have to search through a couple of pages to see if summiter updated his rom or if there is a new qtek, k-jam, cws or tmo rom? All custom versions could be posted, but only the latest version.
If we had a sticky at the top it would be simple, when a new rom is released, you copy and past the last thread, replace the changed item and repost. NO questions allowed, simply links to the roms! Even if a mod want to make one or more of the more active members a mod of that thread only, it would help, he could keep it clean wiith just one post. I would help.

That would be a GREAT idea!
post your thoughts, so the mods know...

Good idea, but doesn' t the wiki already tell you what the latest ROM version is?
Maybe there could just be a sticky pointing new users to the wiki to see which is the latest ROM version for their phone? Just my two cents!

Its funny you should mention the wiki as Ive noticed coming from the universal to the wizard that the wiki is very poor for the wizard and Ive had to post some basic questions even after searching the forum all day! Maybe some kind sole out there would like to put some time in and fill it with basic information like how to flash roms ect.......
There is info in the wiki about roms, just nothing that has the latest information and which rom to flash. I can see where the wiki could replace a sticky, but I think a sticky at the top of the forum would better serve the group as a whole.
There is info on how to flash a wizard rom in the wiki:

Hi,
Can anybody point me where to download WM5? Ive been trying to read the wiki's but the ROM link is broken (?).
Thanks and will appreciate your help.

Look for updated links in WM5 BlueAngel subforum - in some threads you have still working links to rapidsahre asn similar. If no luck - post a request, somebody will probably upload it for you. Try to be specific, which rom you want.
Hello fellow HTC-ers!
I've made a dump of my Blackstone (using pdocread -l), all seems fine. Got 4 .raw files. Now, Dr. Jay in his movie says to "get" a .nbh file. From where?? I'm confused. Read several postings about IMGFS, but those didn't help me to get to the next step.
To be precise : I want to have a flashable backup of my original (NLD : Original NLD ROM - 1.14.404.3_Radio_52.49a.25.26_1.09.25.14) ROM before I install HSPL and start cooking my own. Preferably, I want to create this original flashable ROM myself, just to get familiar with the tools and the process.
Could anyone tell me where to go from here? (4 .raw files)
Thanks.
Grt., K.
ps. when I search this forum for ".nb" or "nbh" I get no hits.. Does the searchkey have to consist of a minimum number of characters?

When is class # 1? I have played around a little with the Samsung i780 and actually flashed a ROM dump but never went far enough to learn about xip, packages, and other things. So I will stay tuned.
That's what I need to know , and package compiling, and ui tweaks, and some other things.
Hello my dear fellow cooks. Everything to start is in place. To make it easy to start I added 3 pictorials to install the kitchen, extract and build your first rom and a tutorial on how to add an OEM package. Links to all necessary reading are in post #3. I also added a clean 1.19 WWE rom with OEM and SYS to make an easy start. It now is up to your imagination.
Wow, thanks ! Soon I will be a great chef!
Hi,
I'm not a senior chef, but if I may, I will give you my contribute!

@kwbr
Here you are!!! it could be much easier for me to find this thread if you left me the link for the threads in your PM, anyway I found it accidently and not using the search option since I tryed it for hours but it didn't help a bit,
Anyhow thanks for opening a great helpful thread which I think it should be... sticky... sticky... sticky
After scrolling through the thread I still couldn't find answers to my questions. So here they are:
-From which folder do I need to delete the program folders that needed to be deleted? (SYS, OEM, or TEMP) Since some of them have duplicates.
-How about the registry do I need to edit anything after all or deleting the folders only would do the trick?
-What's the difference between using the buildos.exe and the buildos+package_tools-2.7 and what is the proper use for either of them?
-in some posts it mentioned that you can add a program by placing it's package to the "OEM or SYS" folder What's the difference if I put the packages in OEM folder rather than SYS folder? do i need to do any registry changes? If so then where?
-Do I need to use the buildos+package_tools-2.7 after all and along with placing the packages in the OEM or SYS folder?
Cleaning up the registry is quiete easy, too. Use an editor with a "search in files" functionality and use it in order to find the files containing your registry keys/values.

-Can you name me a good editor to use?
-What would be the best way to change in manila's, using the packages method or replace them directly from their location in the kitchen?
-The final and most delicate question is how can I integrate the registration info in a shareware program package?

Threads like this will be created in the other Forums relevent to the X1, the layout will be the same and if you want something announced in that forum, please contact me. If you want a relevant thread added, please PM me. I will not be adding things that have been Dev made except for hacking tools such has Hard-SPL, if i was to add one, it would be unfair on other Devs. Stock ROM's, Radios and dumps can be given links. I will give an example in each thread (When created) that will show what can and cannot be made reference to.

Hope This Helps Organization A Bit
Hello everyone
I'm new to ROM upgrade and I'm sure everyone knows that its a risk messing with your ROM. I've been browsing through all the post here and find it a little bit confusing on what to do first and then next....
I just want to upgrade from WM6.1 to WM 6.5 . Ive read about megade, HSPL, differrent versions of megade 1.7.5- 1.7.6 and i know that its a faster, reliable system. I'm just confuse on what to install/do first. Anyone can post a step by step walk through on the process.
Thanks in advance
If there's already a thread about this topic please direct me and mods can delete my post.
Do hard spl first. Follow instructions from here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=483465
Download megade 1.7.5. Connect jade to computer via active sync, go into file and click on rom update utility.exe Follow the instructions and you're done.
Better performance but expect quicker battery drain.
