Hi firstly I would like to apologise, I have read through many topics on these forums, tried the search and in the process and found out many useful tips for my phone, yet I'm still somewhat nervous about which versions/radio etc. I should install.
I have a HTC Touch HD on Orange UK, it is my primary phone and I would be somewhat distraught if I were to break it.
Would someone recommend which version I should use and a link to a good beginners guide. I really think the news Windows Mobile 6.5 has reached the masses as it were and it would be good to have a tutorial that was user friendly for those that have not flashed devices before.
Thank you for reading
Ross W-S
there's a ton of topped threads, read them.
specifically read the one on how to flash a rom http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
after that choose a rom, download it and follow the instructions.

Hi there, sonny.
Yes, it is possible.
So far, my reply is the only one you will get, because these s*ckers seems to have something against noobs.
anyway, if you don't understand the steps in the wiki, i can give you a hand, and help you, stuff i never got from those guys.
Thank you a lot, can you put the principal steps to make a good rom update in the forum ???
thank
help

its not some are againts noobs, everyone is here to help, and learn, but if someone is asking the same set of questions which are answered several times in the forum or mentioned in the wiki, then......................
Yes I understand but I'm not totally sure about what I have readed in the wiki and I don't want to break my Blue Angel because it's an expensive phone. So if someone can just give me some steps to do a good rom update it would be very cool
If i would act like that on my 2 forums, for sure they would be empty right now.
And i never got help here!
All i know now, and have my BA in less than a week, i took the risk to try!
Nicely, I have now one great rom, and the PDA at his top!
Everyone can read the wiki, yes, thats true, but is very normal someone have doubts, is afraid, etc!
Beside following the wiki steps, it is important that you have the battery charged, and the minimum amount of programs running on the computer.
Those 2 basic steps will help a lot.
Well you guys want too much don't you think ?
Why don't you ask HTC or Microsoft for a guide with simple steps and pictures ?
I will answer the above question - because they won't bother to make it, operators have rom upgrading guides, if you know basic procedure you will have no problem using MAUpgradeUT_NOID.exe for upgrade, it is written all over the board, but someone should read it.
Everyone has more or less fear when he upgrade hes device for a first time, here was the same, i took the risk and a after more than a year i am rom maker (not consider myself as the best one)
TIP: You do not need to read, you must read and understand what you are reading
I don't have any problems to upgrade at my own.
I upgraded, downgraded, upgraded again, etc, and din't asked help to do those stuff.
But you know, no one is equal to another and everyone is different.
If he is afraid and have doubts, what we should do?
Spank him? No!
Hello there,
Great forum you guys have here.
I will be receiving my Diamond on Thursday from Orange. I have some questions and would be very grateful for your help and advice. I have looked across the site for answers but there's so much info it's difficult to know where to start!
Firstly, I understand I may need to flash the ROM to improve speed. Speed is very important to me and so should I need to do this, what ROM would you recommend - something simple, offering a good balance between memory consumption and speed please. Does the official HTC update help at all?
Secondly, what do I need to do to preserve the original ROM, just in case I need to get it back in order to return the phone.
Thirdly, can you provide me with a link that clearly explains the process of updating the ROM as i've never done anything like this before.
If there's anything else i've missed (such as settings changes - I know I should get rid of the Orange homepage in favour of HTC's for instance), please tell me - i'm eager to have my Diamond adequately set-up ASAP.
Thanks for your time & patience,
S.
well i got my diamond from orange a few weeks ago and i would like to know the same. The one thing i can tell you that it comes with rom 1.37 WWE and not the orange version which I thought was weird, the quick start book even shows the diamond with the orange rom. So if your the safe then you wont get a rom ruined by orange
Excellent, I hope the Diamond I receive is the same. I hate Orange extensions!
check out http://www.modmydiamond.info
Very useful site.
Thank you! Seems like a useful site...
Can anyone suggest what ROM to go for or a guide that details/reviews ROMS?
Thanks,
S
read , read & then read some more.
there are way too many ROMS to recommend.
workout what you wnat from a ROM then go find it.
i now this attitude sounds a bit tough but in the end you will gain invaluable knowledge about your phone along the way

I have to agree!
I was once a newb to WinMob (only about a month ago) and I hadn't a clue... I read, read and read and now I up updating roms, radios and installing apps like a good thing!
My own personal preference for a ROM is SwiftBL 5.6 - its super slick and includes loads of apps like GSen, Advanced Config, etc.... very nice app! You'll find it in the ROMs secion!
Enjor your phone!

right o
if you go to the official HTC site you will get a download to the newest official htc rom 1.93 i think which will improve the phone speed no end - it is also easy to install (follow instructions on site). just make sure you backup everything first!
trust me it turned my phone from unusable to a godsend! and its official rom
Thanks for the replies. I will attempt reading the wealth of info available on this site, but i'm swept off my feet with work at the moment. So any concise info from you guys will really help me to get my diamond running well ASAP during this busy time. I have however read the guides on how to install the ROM at least and will get stuck in properly when things calm down.
Would you say that the latest official HTC ROM is faster than swift 6.0?
Thanks again,
S.

But you cannot download from HTC if you have an operator supplied device.
Oh! Damn. Oh well, I guess it's gonna have to be Swift or another ROM then...
you probably get this question a million times. i look in the begginers tutorial on how to install a new ROM and i went through the process fine with no problems...i think. it gave me the same rom as it first came with. i hope thats correct. Im just trying to find out which ROM is good and which ones should i stay away from. I was looking at the Cube rom and it looks good but idk how to install it?. where can i find it to download it?
Start digging in the ROM Development forum. Read the stickies and the wiki for instructions.
wiki
definitely read the wiki. a year ago, i was an htc noob, but now i am a flashing junkie. I highly recommend the flash via microsd card method, and the hyperdragon and phoenix roms.
welcome to the forum
have fun with your new HTC
So, I am a newbie ... a newbie willing to learn Up until now, I've been using the P1i and hacked it successfully. The windows OS however is a new ball game!
I had the Xperia in hand for a couple of days, had a feel of it and gave it back to a friend. I now intend to take it back and play with it!
I intend on getting my phone to a state as seen in the video/ pictures on:
Xperience v4.5 Landscape (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=485624&highlight=Touch+IT+4.5)
Touch-IT 7 (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=503732)
XPERIA Gen II (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497092)
Wanting to see my phone as mentioned above, I've been searching and reading the forums for some days now. Aside from getting more fascinated, I have not really managed to understand a whole lot and hence am looking forward to helpful folks out here to lead me initially through my first couple of experiments.
On that note, can some one first tell me what is Hard SPL and if I MUST necessarily do it before I start modifying my X1?
Hard-SPL for Xperia X1 - Released! (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431218)
I noticed this huge "THE XPERIA X1 LIBRARY" (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=477801) and was wondering which of those I must use?
And finally, is there a starters/ toddlers/ newbies guide to work through to my first real mod? With so many materials out here, its really difficult to understand the real starting point!
Details of my device:
ROM Version: 1.02.931.3
Date : 08/29/08
Radio Version: 1.06.25.29
Soft Id: 1213.6450
Soft Version: R1AA017
Customization Id:1215-1832
Custom.. Version:R15Awhat
Custom.. Variant:Generic UK
Thanks in advance for any help
PS. If someone can point me to thread for where I could get a start, that would be great ... something like what is hard spl and what are the first steps I should go through!
yeah, interesting... I have visited XDA-developers site many times since 2007. I have learned some of the stuffs reading through thousands of pages. But still learning... and GOOGLE....GOOGLE and GOOGLE.
I heard that somebody has made an ebook with all the stuffs you are asking and selling it for 99 Euro. Do you wanna buy?
Begin with the library!
the video biovolt posted help me out plenty and should be the same for all newbies. you will only thank him for doin it in the 1st place.
You definately need to HardSPL first before fashing a custom ROM...I recommend doing this because you are still using R1AA...
Anyway read the sticky Threads and you should find help!
The last thing: Nice to see you here, congrats to your first posting!
Yes I believe that you need to hard spl before a custom rom. But dont take my word for it, im still a newb

... will lookout to helping hands if I falter!
hello all
can anyone recommend a rom using wm 6.5 that i can install max manilla 2.5 on. I also like the original one for its uses like word excel texting etc
many thanks jez
Before this thread gets closed, as asking for an opinion on roms is going to give you 20 different suggestions. Try a few yourself and see what suits you. As explained in the max manila thread it does work on most roms (with the exception of Energy roms for now, but the next version will apparently work).
You will need to read this thread before flashing however.
cheers ClydeB1 I will give a few roms a try
once again thanks for your help. jez
My pleasure. As I said, ensure you read the Dummies Guide, it gives step by step procedures on how to flash. If you have any questions regarding how to flash etc, ask them there - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
I see ClydeB1 has responded to you already so eloquently.
The reason why recommendations or opinionated threads are frowned upon in XDA is that every has a different opinions, tastes or they have loyalties to the chefs they use most often. This creates endless long threads and for these reasons I am closing this thread.
Best advice as mentioned already by ClydeB1 is to try a few roms and come to your own conclusion
