Read as much as you can in that thread. Dont be bent on flashing so fast without knowing what your doing. Bookmark that link and read it. I'm not sure if there is anyone that'll take anyone under their wing. Its really all easy stuff to do.
Check out that link and you'll be fine.
Good choice of rom.
Just to add to the advice given above, Make sure you install HardSPL correctly before flashing any other roms. This will protect you (in most cases) if anything goes wrong. If you have a problem installing HardSPL don't get impatient and think it's ok to skip that step.
tnx to all of you it's a big help

My advice is really to leave well enough alone.
Don't fix it if it aint broke!!!
I agree. I would hate to see you mess your phone up. Maybe read a bit more before doing this. All of your questions should be answered already if you had read ALL of the how to's. Your questions make me and probley others nervous in regards to your scope of understanding when it comes to this delicate task.
Hi,
I am tempted to flash a custom ROM onto my Xperia, but before i do that, i have a couple of questions that i hope someone here might be able to answer.
1. Is there a guide available that explains everything step-by-step? I.e. is flashing of ROM the only thing to do? or are there other tasks required like flashing SPL or something like that? (I literally have no idea what SPL and similar terms mean either)
2. If after having played with a custom ROM, i plan to revert back to the original stock ROM and settings... is that possible?
Best Regards.

*A Complete Newbie at Flashing Custom Roms and all that is involved.*
I am trying to find information regarding the Rom that is on my HTC 8925.
When the phone boots up I do have a splash screen that says Dutty's Series.
I go into Settings>System>Device Information to find:
ROM version: Touch v6.1 WWE
ROM date: 02/19/08
Radio Version: 1.70.OliNex
Protocol version: 25.65.30.04h
What ROM do I have and where can I have find some information regarding this ROM? I have done some searches for Touch v6.1 WWE and Dutty v6.1 WWE, but to no avail.
Thank you in advance.
from the ROM date and the fact that u have a dutty's splash screen (which doesnt really accurately show what rom you are using) this would most likely be your rom.

any btw your radio is a patched radio that's used for unlocking. u might wanna update that

Thank you for responding.
How do I update my radio?
I am pretty green, when it comes to modifying anything like this. Plus, I do not want to do anything that I could possibly render my phone useless for awhile, since I do not know what I am doing.
Thank you for your assistance.
Radio Upgrade
Do I really need to upgrade my radio?
I am frankly scared to death to do anything like this with my phone in the fear of bricking it.
Thank you.

Ill help you out. What you do is go into the radio thread and down load a different radio. I use 1.65.21.18 with Josh's new 6.5 super ram. When you download the file it will show up like a new rom. Flash it like you would a rom. and you are done. It really is trial and error to find the one that works best in your area. If you need any more help just let me know. I was the new guy not to long ago so I feel your pain. While in the radio thread read all the posts when you can and it will help.

If everything is working ok for you then not really but the right radio will help with batt life and signal. Are you having any issues at all?

I have only had the phone about a month, so I am just trying to get use to it. So, If I am having trouble with signal and/or battery, I may not know it as of yet.
Once again, I am very leary about flashing.
I was to My first time, but once you learn how and get used to it you will love trying out different roms

I know exactly how you feel Grey, but I thought sod it, best bet (someone correct me if i am wrong) hold down the camera key and hold in the soft reset button. If it comes up with the tricolour screen and it says something like SPL-1.0.OliPof. If that comes up the scary bit has been done and someones already put HardSPL on the phone. Chances are they have if you already have a custom ROM on it.
Now the hard bit will be is what ROM to put on it. Just read how to flash it but the easiest way is to do it from the SD card, and always flash the HTC stock ROM between custom ROMS, it helps u avoid any problems.
Hi guys,
I've just gone through a guide on how to unlock my phone, so awesome, Step 1 is done!
Now, with having currently an Orange (UK) based stock rom, I'm looking to get rid of it, and needing to know before I flash this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715
What is a Stock Rom?
I'm sorry for the stupid question, and I did search quickly, but nobody has asked this, and all the queries come up are people talking about stock roms.
Thank you,
It's not a stupid question, a Stock ROM is a ROM that is provided by your telecom company or the manufacturer of your phone (Like HTC), so that means a standard ROM without any of the wonderful hacks and additions the guys on this site came up with .
So when you buy a brand new phone the ROM that is on there would be a stock ROM.
Wow, thanks Mad.
Now the problem I have now, is it says "flash stock rom before flashing this", so what should I flash it to first?
I like the look of that rom above you see, and just not sure what to flash it to first.
If you bought your phone from your provider and not
second hand, it will have the stock rom on it, so you would be good to go. Make sure you read the flashing guide, and check radio compatibility with the rom you would like to use.
My preference is to flash with the sd card, rather than a RUU from the desktop. I've had much more success that way.
Good luck and happy flashing!
Criss
Thanks Criss,
How would I backup my stock rom, and radio?
Because a few people who make the Rom's are abroad, I've no way of knowing if the radio's they've used are compatible with my network provider here in the UK.
Whats some things I should look out for?
Thank you,
the search area at the top right hand corner.. Then just type in "how to backup stock rom"
Thats what I would do.
rofl, thanks Chumley.
I've just been lazy and started flashing from my Stock ROM.
Balls to it, hopefully I won't ever need to go back, but nevermind. My mistake and downfall!
I would keep a copy of your providers shipped rom around

You'll need it in case you need to make a warranty claim. You can check with the support section of their website, or the Kaiser Wiki could point you in the right direction.
No warranty on the phone, its secondhand.
I'll have a look to see if there are stock roms available through Orange / HTC for it.
Thanks once again!
The rom loads and looks lovely, shame I cocked up the theme, but i'll sort that out later when I can be bothered!
Good day guys and girls. I am new here. I have a Touch HD on the Telstra network but i am thinking of joining the ranks of WM6.5 and touchflo 2.1. I have read the flashing roms for dummies thread but there where a few things i wanted to ask. I currently use the phone for emails and internet everyday and i am just worried that if i flash a new rom i wont be able to use those features on the NEXT G network or get NEXT G coverage. Secondly is there a certain rom i need to use in order to use the phone on Telstra or will any of the wm6.5 roms work. I am new to this and really hesitant to do anything until i know everything would be good, but also itching to go to wm6.5. Any help from you pro's would be mutch appreciated. Thank you.

I use a Telstra phone and have found there is no problem with any of the ROMs as far as G 3G or any of the services go.
So if i was to use the Dusk rom would i just follow the Dummies guide to flashing 1.56+ roms. Any help is much apreciated.

Yes thats where we all started. You need to go through that guide step by step. You only have to go through that process once and then like the rest of us you can Flash to you hearts content.
Will it better for me to use the uspl method, I dont really understand it all but from reading it, it seems to be the safer method. Any help is aprecciated.

Yeah, USPL is "safer" in the sense you keep your Stock SPL... which basically means if somehow you brick your phone, they won't be able to tell that you've been playing around with it.
Ok so if i decide to go ahead where can i download these from.
(USPL1a) RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip
(USPL1b) HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip
(USPL1c) USPL GUI v 2.5.zip
(USPL1d) A 1.56+ based rom- Dutty's latest rom linked here
(USPL1e) BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip
Thank you all very much for your help. I just want to make sure i do this right the first time.
Im sorry i didnt see the downloads in post 1. I just have another question. In the step USPL1D can i use EnergyROM_BLACKSTONE_20090816_StandardM2.5.rar instead of what is labeled in the dummies guide to flashing? Any help is much appreciated.
Answer to your query, yes you can use EnergyROM. Rom listed in guide was just an example.
Your title query has already been answered. All roms should work on Telstra network. Dummies guide thread already exists for guidance and help on flashing. Post all related queries in relevent thread.
