I would really appreciate it if someone could answer a few of these questions. I tried searching, but I couldnt find them.
Why is there a seperate hearald mobile 6 thread? Is there a difference? And how do you get windows mobile 6.1? I couldn't find a download for that.
Also, is installing something like touch IT just a faster way to install a bunch of different cabs? I'm asking because I wanted to know if I could just download the cabs I wanted and not have to download a whole pack. And what is hard-spl? I've seen the forum for it but it gives no clue on what it really is.
Herald mobile 6 is for discussions regarding windows mobile 6 on herald (herald is default wm5, while wing is wm6), whereas rom development is for discussion in regards to roms.
To get wm6.1, install a wm6.1 rom (read the stickies for instructions on installing roms).
While custom roms do include fixes that can be installed via cabs, they are also built on new bases that are faster or more stable than the present ones. These cannot be installed via cab.
Hard-SPL is a way of getting around the CID lock on the phone that prevents it from being flashed with custom roms. It is more or less permanent.
This is your free noob question. Welcome to the forums
thanks so much for your reply
i'm sorry, but there are still a few more things I wanted to ask, if you don't mind.
I understand hard-spl, but what is soft-spl? and what is a radio? also, is there a reason for choosing one rom over the other, other than personal preference? and whats an ipl?
If these are really obvious questions, please point me to a thread I could read up on. I've modded razrs and iphones, but I haven't done anything as complicated as a wm device.

I explain the differences between HardSPL and USPL in this thread.
A radio is... how do i explain this... the GSM software on the device? Put it this way, the newer the Radio, the better reception and phone quality you will get, usualy.
When it comes down to choosing between ROMs, its all personal preference, I strongly recommend trying the Open Touch V4.0 Biggy.
Please search and read, all of your answer can be found that way. Just like we all did.
thanks so much everyone, hopefully when i get on track I can help out newer noobs

Hello there...
I ordered my herald...actually a p4350 and i will be receiving it in a few days..
But as i know it will come with WM5 installed.
So,
i am trying to understand the procedures explained here but..
Theres some modified roms as i see.
So what should be the path to follow...
Upgrading to WM6 from htc's webpage ? or is there any modified wm6 images around?
And what is rom called for? A kind of theme that should be installed after upgrading?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
The best advice each one of us could give you is to start reading the posts your interested in. Make sure you have read enough to know what you are going to do and what to do when it goes wrong.
If your Herald comes packed with WM5 and you simply want to upgrade it to WM6, the best way to do this is by downlaoding the official RUU (Rom Upgrading Utility) for the HTC website (europe.htc.com).
If you're familiar with WM6 and you want to use a customized package then start reading the posts on how to upgrade, the (im)possibilities and it's pro's and cons. Start with reading the topics by ITje on how to upgrade to his rom. The latest version is Touch-IT V3 for Herald/P4350.
Make sure you have the official RUU before you start upgrading to the customized ROM, because you need that one incase you brick your Herald (means something went wrong during upgrade and it isn't working anymore).
All the answers to any question you might have can be found in these forum's. To make sure you don't piss of people or ask redundant question search the forum until you're desperate before you ask something.
Good luck!
I am a newbie and browsed this site for a ROM upgrade for my Tilt. I have seen quite a few ROM's made by members, some with Radio, some AT&T, some from Dutty and trying to work out which if any will work on my UK Tytn II.
Could someone please list what the ROM's are and what they will work on? and what is the deal with Radio? I read that a hardware upgrade is required to activate radio, is this the case?
I have CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2), bought about a month ago
Please help!
i'm very new with this to and i would also like to know the answer to the same question. i've read quite a few threads but i just don't get it so all the help is welkom.
Read the sticky posts in the "Kaiser Upgrading" forum. There's enough info there to get you started. There's also a sticky regarding the different ROMs available. To make sure you don't do anything that will cause your device not to work make sure you HardSPL your device first. Again, read the posts to do this. Everyone here has been in the same position you guys were at one point and they just read, read, read... the more info you know, the better you understand how everything works.
Good luck!
Hello,
I am new to this site, I've read and read about the cooked ROMS for the HTC phones. I'm anxious for the 6.1 update to come out for AT&T, anyone know when this will come out? I know that the TyTn II update came out, but when I log into HTC's website, it's nowhere to be found. However, if I decide to go with a Cooked ROM, can someone direct me to what I first need to do to prepare my phone for it, and where I can load the latest Cooked ROM?
Also, anyone who was scared to brick their phone and did the Cooked ROM how is it and what do you recommend?
One last thing, if I do load a cooked ROM on my phone, and AT&T releases the 6.1 update, I could easily update it with that correct?
Any help is appreciated.
...................... Ok. Search through this site and read!! It will tell you how to do everything. I hereby introduced you to the flaming...
I've read through the thread that was posted today, but was curious if I needed to install a cooked rom or if I could install this on the AT&T ROM. I want to know the success of this because I don't want to brick my phone. Thanks.
When it comes to technology, nothing is forever. You can flash a different cooked rom and always flash back to the original state. Once again search. Everyone has different flavors so you are bound to get different opinions on which ROM is suitable for you. Go to the Kaiser-Rom and Developement thread and look around. Read Read Read. When you feel comfortable attempt a ROM upgrade.
P.S.
Why would you want to flash a 6.1 ROM on the HTC site (whenever it comes out)
Their are chefs on this forum that make way better ROMs withougt all the junk apps nobody uses. Just my 2 cents.
I think we can close this thread now.
which rom are you using? On my tilt, I just have the WM 6.0 not the 6.1. I've tried the HTC site, and I've read that it's out, but nowhere to be found on HTC's site. I've signed up as a e-club member. But I'll keep looking.

+1 Read, Read, Read, and Read some more.... Then have fun....
As stated by other members, read and reply to existing threads when you have a question.
So I just got my new Diamond (Hong Kong traditional chinese version), version below:
ROM: 1.37.832.4 CHT
Date: 06/23/08
Radio: 1.00.25.03
Protocol: 52.26a.25.09H
I wanted to get the most out of the little phone. What tweaks and fixes I need to do to get to everyone elses "standard" ? Such as updating, changing the language to english, some kind of ways to backup my old ROM, speed fix on the menus and navigation, tweaks on longer battery life Also tell me if there is more needed.
Can anyone tell me where to get those stuff (Or if those things exists) ? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you very much !
update to WWE rom and flash the radio, use the roll up stickies as tutorials at the top of the pages, read, search and you will find.
no one here will want to find it for you. open your eyes and take a look around. its all here.
end of topic.

Hey, I am new to this and I don't have the slight understanding of how these things work. That is why I'm asking for help. I wouldn't want to install the wrong things and kill my diamond (It happened before with my PSP =/).
But thank you for answering. Is updating the rom and radio all I need ?

Ouch, harssshhh.
To the original postah... Search for "Diamond Tweaks", should be a sticky in this forum. Those should help a lot for the performance of your Diamond. You CAN flash a new ROM and radio (make sure to Hard SPL first, search on how to do that!) but it's not necessary and taking a risk... Not a very big one, but devices have been turned to paperweights from flashing messups many times. To keep it basic use those Diamond Tweaks, start your device off right with Schaps Advanced Configuration tool (www.touchxperience.com) and TF3D Config, maybe Diamond Tweak (a program called that, searchsearchsearch) as well. To get a registry editor you can also go to touchxperience.com, you'll need that for most of the tweaks. Now go, go, go!
Thanks for the answers.
I have decided to flash the Rom cause I wanted to get the best out of the phone.
I come across this guide on flashing: http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26
And this for list of Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413910
The problem I have now is that I don't know which Rom is the best to flash into. And whats the difference between Offical and Cooker rom (Which is better)?
Again, thanks for answering. I appreciate it.
each person have different prefrenses and use their pda's for different things
which is why there are more then one rom called superrom which everybody use
so it is kinda hard to answer the question which one is best for you
trying various is most likely the best path

Yeah there is alot of them. =/
I'll try them out.
But can you tell me if the cooker ones are better than the offical ones ?
And is this the official English Rom: RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2 ?
Thx !

...better? They are newer; look: Just like in Windows XP Microsoft also generates new builds of windows mobile. Also HTC does this with his own applications. The cookers always takes the newest builtds and gave us the great roms!
ok?
Just look at it like this, cooked roms are customized by people on here that want better performance, the official roms are what HTC puts out to try and make it work for everyone. If you find a cooked rom that works for your needs, it's likely to be better because it doesn't include all of the stuff that doesn't interest you. Better yet, you could cook your own rom if you really want to, look for a tutorial on it. Not incredibly difficult, just takes some time to learn. (This is my perception of it, I've never cooked a rom myself but it doesn't seem so impossible)
Thank you guys, I chose the SwiftBL for the Rom since it have just what I need and much more.
But I have another question about the Radio Rom. I have the Radio version 1.00.25.03 and I wanted to ask do I need to update/change it ? If it's not necessary, can I skip this step and just update my Rom and not the Radio ?
Thx !

read!?! nobody told me i was suppose to read before trying to flash my phone for the first time?!! jk
yeah, just look around at the different tutorial on here, and it should help you to better understand it. I just got my diamond last week, and i can't believe how much i can change on this phone compared to my old S60 v3 phone...
I wouldn't change the radio unless you have issues with reception... But that's me, I'm very conservative compared to most on here when it comes to flashing/changing major aspects of the phone.
I have completed the flashing the Rom and Radio on my Diamond and thank god it didn't brick.
Everything is done now so thank you guys very much for everything.

Good morning Gents,
I have had a Touch HD for a while now and used your site for all sorts of info but there is something i am struggling with and after searches on here and google and other places i can't seem to find an answer.
I wanted to flash my device using one of the ROM's posted on here but i have noticed that most are now stating they user 6.5 rather than 6.1.
Now my question is, can i flash a 6.5 ROM onto my device or do i need to upgrade the operating system to 6.5 first?
If that's the case, where can you get 6.5 from as it doesn't seem to be released yet?! I have read the No Warez point in the posting rules so don't get yourself in trouble if it's done using slightly dodgy sites, i can do that legwork myself.
Thanks for your help with this cos it's driving me nuts!
The ROMS include the software.
All you have to do is make sure your spl is correct.
Best thing to do is follow crackwhores guide, here;

WM6.5 is not official released yet. All wm6.5 roms on this forum are using leaked builds.
To flash wm6.5 onto your device read and follow this guide. All future flashing related queries should be directed to that thread.
