Hi guys,
Is there already a cooked ROM available (maybe I missed it: don't flame me please!)? I didn't see anything mentioned in the Wiki about cooked ROM's anyway.
I now run a Dutch Orange branded ROM which I'm not completely happy with.
we dont even have an unlocker made yet, much less the ability to flash unsigned code to the device.... so no, there are no cooked roms yet
is there any question about there being cooked rom's in the future ?
just curious, i've never messed with any of that stuff.
have there been HTC devices that were impervious to that sort of thing ?

Ok, I have been flashing roms for a while now and something crossed my mind. Usually I get a rom from the kaiser forum because others reccommend it... The questions I have are about using roms from other companies such as a t-mobile rom on my att tilt. Is this possible/ reccommended? Is that basically what i am doing when I flash a wm6.1 rom to my device other than the ATT Tilt specific rom? Does that rom that I want to flash to my device have to be made for some variation of the HTC Kaiser / TnTyII? I hope the questions that I am asking make sense.
should work just fine...that is, you are talking about a vario III rom, right? CID unlock lets you do all that. As long as it is a variation of the kaiser...not no hermes or wizard.
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

Custom ROms are ROMs tweaked and or, you might call it enhanced, by developers outside of the OEM. If you are alooking for a custom WM 6.5 ROM, you can try reading this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512050 (Download Xperio v2.3.2) But before you flash this ROM, or any other custom ROM for that matter, try reading the following thread first for you to be able to know how to flash custom ROMs (that is, in case you still don't know how)

Take note: the rule here is "flash at your own risk"
I'm very new to flashing ROMs and I wanted to know if I can only install Rhodium ROMs to my Tilt 2 or can I flash a Blackstone ROM if I find one that I like? tks

You can only install ROMs made for your device. You can flash HTC Rhodium ROMs on your Tilt2 and vice versa because they're both Rhodiums with compatible hardware. However, you can't flash blackstone/Kaiser/Athena/Diamond2 etc. ROMs because if you actually manage to flash them, you'll probably brick or at least f**k up your device pretty badly.
However, you can flash radios from the Diamond2 (not any others like the Blackstone, Kaiser, etc.) if you're security unlocked using the Rhodium Security/CID/SIM unlocker from this forum.
Thanks a lot, that cleared up everything.
Hello!
I have a huge problem. I've had some problems with the battery on my HTC TP2 and in service they changed it. The problem is that they made an update to the software to what they call it is the last version: WM 6.5 with HTC Sense. I didn't ask for this and since it was a hardware problem I don't know what happend.
I asked them if they can downgrade to WM 6.1 like it was in the original phone and they said they couldn't do that.
I was wondering if I can get any help here?! Is there a way to find the original WM 6.1 from HTC? They don't have a version for HTC TP2 on their site ... So, how could I solve this problem?
I hate WM 6.5 with Sense because it moves really SLOW! Yes, it has many interesting things but there are a lot of badly made things . This is why I want to erase it from my phone.
Regards,
Laurentiu

Yes the 6.1 stock roms are there too
cheers
Thank you!
And that is the original ROM??? From HTC? Released especially for this phone???
Well not all off them on that page!
But the ones that start with "RUU_Rhodium_HTC_" are the official ones released for the rhodium (HTC Touch Pro 2) by HTC.
You just need to pick your language or the world wide english(WWE) variant.
In my case i am from the netherlands and would have to choose: RUU_Rhodium_HTC_NLD_1.19.404.1_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship.exe
Cheers
ps. in my signature is one of the best wm 6.1 roms i have ever stumbled upon. If you are not persistant in keeping your phone "official" HTC, i can really recommend that one. Loads of RAM very stable. Beats the stock rom in every way. But you would have to flash your htc touch pro 2 with a non official rom. (check it out at: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=618063)
Bear in mind that if your phone doesn't have HardSPL, you won't be able to flash most of the official ROMs (there are loads of them), you'll only be able to flash official ROMs designed for your specific model/branding of phone. e.g. I have a Vodafone UK-branded TP2, so without HardSPL, I can only flash Vodafone UK official ROMs, I can't even flash a generic HTC official ROM.
With HardSPL you can flash any ROM you like for your phone (GSM Rhodium), official or "cooked" (custom).

Since i have the "luxury" of an unbranded rhodium, i never had to think about that, but your absolutely right! Sure hope TS has an unbranded model so the choices are not too limited
