Total Newbie but please help

Ok so I got an o2 xda and I have managed to unlock the phone so I can put my t-mobile sim in.
This xda has never had a firmware upgrade nor do I know about such stuff.
Soooooo, what firmware could I install and how do I do it.
As said total newbie but please help where you can, we where all newbie's once
Numbers that flash up on boot up are....
R 1.10.00
1327.10
1.60.00 wwe
Does this tell you the current firm ware ?

We are once newbie.. but we once do research and learn ourself and not sit and wait. Go read and whever you do not understand, just ask instead of for everything to be fed to you
First try reading clicking on the top left wiki

PMSL, oh thanks, whats a winkie.
So I should just bundle into it flash the wrong firmware then post about how my xda won't go past the boot screen, then you can all sit on your selfrightous pulpit and say you should of asked ?

Well, take a look around this site and find some of the threads from people who had no idea what they were doing but didn't let that stop them. They're not real hard to find these days. It will probably be a simple process, but it may not be. When you're flashing the phone and your PC crashes, you yank the cable out, the battery dies, power goes out, the phone falls off the table, you spill water on it and everything else that I've seen happen, what are you going to do? All the answers are here and they're not hard to find and it's REAL HANDY to know the answers, or at least know where to find them, BEFORE you go off half-cocked knowing just enough to be dangerous. So rather than frying your phone and then coming back here to ***** about it, go read through the threads on flashing, read about what has gone wrong and what people have done about it. People that are a lot better at this than you and me. And this is assuming you even NEED a different ROM. I've tried lots and I'm perfectly happy with the stock T-Mobile 2.26 system. Custom ROMs have all kinds of problems not to mention your warrantee ends the moment you start that flash process and you're not going to find many people willing to help you turn your expensive toy into a smoking paperweight.

Haha.. nice to have you joker around once a while.
If you were to be in the position to bundle in a wrong ROM, I wouldn't recommend you to even flash your ROM, even if step by step instructions are given. When you have confident enough to do your research and ask 'specific' question (of which you can do before you get yourself into troubles). Just enjoy your phone as it is.
Read here for inspiration for step by step instruction.

Why thankyou kind sir, LOL

Well, I'm actually ROTFL and not LOL at this!
(But I'm easily amused!)
Thanks!

I'm just at Heh level, personally. It's amusing but this trend of people with too much money bricking their phones is getting kind of old. See "[Release 1.0 RC1] AKU 3.2 ROM" for the latest blind rush to nowhere. *shrug*....it's not my $400.

Wow what activity we have, ok fook the phone lets just take the p!ss lol.
All it was was my phone was on o2 network but I'm with t-mobile.
OK here's a question, can I flash the t-mobile firmware onto my o2 phoone and get a working result ?

Yes. Just make sure you get the right Wizard ROM from T-Mobile (e.g. not Charmer, not Universal, etc).

Having trouble downloading the xda tool from the ftp Any other source ?
The t-mobile rom, is it uk friendly as I have read a lot about the us version me thinks.

Which 'tool' are you refering to? Seems alright with me. The xda ftp sites may go down once a while. You may want to retry later.
I'm not sure whats with US ROM. I think the base ROM should be the same for both country, only the Ext ROM is different with different settings for both country. You may install whatever goodies you get from US ROM later.
Anyway, just to make the point clear, why do you want to use the T-mobile ROM?

What is disscus about this thread..?
Xda II (Himalaya) or Xda Mini Pro/S (Wizard)...?
this ROM indicated O2 Xda II (Himalaya)...

I belive mine to be the XDA II (Himalaya) (o2 version yeah ?)
I am having problems setting up wap ect and thought that maybe a rom upgrade would not only get rid of the o2 software completly but also have the advange of being t-mobile based from then on as that is the sim i am using.
The tool I was trying to download was to upload/download rom from windows base I think, LOL

Wizard rom Upgrade

Hi,
I would like to upgrade the rom on my Qtek 9100 as getting a hermes seems like a waste of time(not enough new developments) Can anyone reccommend a good rom and provide a link to it? - I cant find farias rom anywhere. I have the earliest revision of radio and os rom avail as I got my 9100 last December.
Please help as I think upgrading ROM would be much preferable to upgrading phone.
P.s do the new roms fix the screen calibration and alarm wakeup problems
Many Thanks,
Darko2006

It is highly unlikely that you will find Farias ROM as he has removed it from the general population. You need to read for about a week or two and after that you may be ready to upgrade your phone. I don't know if the new ROMs fix the problems you are talking about because I never had those problems to begin with.
Good Luck,
Kirby

Do you have the info on what was in Farias ROM?
I don't want the ROM, but I'd like to see what he was doing. It's a shame that someone had to be an arse and ruin for other people, but then again, it's as a shame that people let people get to them over the interweb.

The best way to find out what his ROM had in it is to go to the first post in his thread and find the link that will show you his first post in the very first thread about this whole thing. He talks in detail about what the ROM contains.

crap, looks like getting a hemes would be the way to go then.
Is it much better than the wizard? - the only thing I can see different is 3G which I dont really need anyway(I dont watch corporate media or TV)

You might want to take a look at what Molski has to offer. He has a fairly clean ROM that is quite stable.

Can't believe you bricked your XDA again.
You hate it so much?
One more time and you can exchange your device at O2 for another model.
That's how I came from my XDA neo to theXDA terra. Just a hint

No just the second time. lol
And I cannot believe how many new members start flashing a divice as difficult as teh Herald.
For wizard it was such easy and I keept reading 1 year before starting to post and to flash.
And I read ALL Herald related posts befor I start to ask for flashingmethods and then I did all to dump the first official rom for the herald community:
And then I read something like this - that makes me a little .....
I helped a lot of people to unbrick nad flash their devices with the terra rom and answered a lot of questions by msn.
And then ..... from a junior Member. Sorry, but for me indiscuteable.
Thanks

Don't need to tell me, lately I don't answer questions I at least seen once.
The worst I find is if the thread with the question is on the same page as the one just posted one.
And as you said, the Herald forum is still so small to browse through it,
unlike the Wizard, Hermes, Prophet fora.
Since ignoring those posts like many other frequent posters do,
it kinda makes me smile when people brick the phone out of pure ignorance and lazyness.
Those experimenting for the community I feel sorry about it.
Cheers!

People just don't read anymore. They want it handed to them; they don't want to go out of their way to do anything.
For example in ASERG ROM thread how many people ask same question over and over again? "Oh NOOZZ I bricked my phone, stuck @ white screen, WTF do I do" then when told to use RUU they still don't get it.
I'll admit I am new to this whole game but by reading the topics I was able to figure out how to install the PDAVIET ROM and in the process bricked my phone twice. Worked it out though.
I am pretty excited for HTC's WM6 RUU because then I will start to learn how to cook a ROM.

Excuse me, am I blind. How much WM6.5 Roms are you seen here in this Xperia Tread. Do you have a X1 ?

Sounds like someone who does not apply hardSPL to his X1 before trying to flash a cooked rom...

"it doesn't work"
doesn't tell us how to help you!

Come on guys, a new user ....... let's try to give him a hand:
1. READ the fist xperia thread.
2. READ the second xperia thread.
3. etc etc
Basicaly: install hard spl (hard spl is the pretection against flashing these roms)
Find a rom that you like (most of them have few screenshots in the thread) and flash.
Enjoy. Or flash the next one.
Simple i guess ........ but remember ..... READ the threads. Will give you all the ideas you need.
G.

Wheal I have read them... but don't get it really, and yes, I have X1 for a long time... Since it is out there and wanted to update it. I tried to install from that guy as I said but it doesn't go...
I know You probably don't wanna spend your time helping me "noob" but please, how can I do it? I read everything but there is just so many things to do that I get lost... If any possibility that someono wants to help me out and put on my X1 I would like that very much.

The post just above yours details the procedure, and if you look at the stickies, the apps you need are there.
1) Install HardSPL
2) Flash ROM
3) Steal underpants
4) ???
5) Profit!

I can't find it. I searched for that "hardspl" and can't find it.

OK. I'd like to be tolerant and helpful but are you that stupid? WTF there are tonnes of stickies at the top of this forum. Here is the direct link to the HardSPL thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218
Read it, understand it and come back if it still doesn't work AFTER YOU HAVE READ IT.
There's even a video on youtube of the whole process somewhere.
Damn, so many threads lately of people asking to be spoonfed information that's CLEARLY AVAILABLE. Stop being lazy.

Ok, I'm sorry that it seems this way, but I really have read lots of things, I'm not stupid or lazy, I really read loads of posts but didn't find this one.
Ok, later I'll try. So basically what I need to do is run 1st this "X1_HardSPL_v1.zip" content and than after that is finished I have to run for example "WM65_ROM_X1i_23060_SB12_Sonblack" rom and that is it.
I'm asking so much questions so that I don't do harm to my device.
Thanx.

If you don`t understand the post from Hard-SPL and flashing roms, plz. let it be. You crash your famous X1. Stand by your WM6 original SE X1 Rom.

Yes you're right. You have to install the hard-spl first and after that you can flash an custom rom to your phone.

Update not available?

Hey there. I'm relitavely new here, but i've downloaded a few things from here in the past (Mostly apps and games). Now i've come unstuck with trying to upgrade the ROM on my touch HD. All I really want is to update to the Windows Mobile 6.5 version for it. Now, I went onto the HTC website to download the update, and put in my S/N number. (HT844KD03498 - I presume i'm okay to post that?) It says it's not available for my device. This has stumped me.
If that update isn't the best for the phone, and anyone could suggest/help me out a bit with getting a custom ROM, that would be great. I have read the thread about it.. But it would be a lot easier if someone could skype with me, or something like that. I really, really don't wanna mess it up.
Thanks in advance, Remmy.

yeah, we never got an update because our blackstone doesn't have a windows button... But we've got XDA so it doesn't really matter . If you follow the instructions in this guide there really isn t much that can go wrong. And if you're looking for a rom, I recommend KWBR

Okay, thanks.
I assume you mean - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
The only thing is I would really like someone to sort of guide me through the process on skype, or another form of chat. It's just that safety net of 'I can ask this guy while I do what i'm supposed to do'.
Any offers? :$
