You might be posting this in the wrong section of your brain The guys n gals on the board are generally a happy and helpful bunch, but we always prefer for you to make an effort, even the most feable attempt at failure, before asking questions asked a septendecillion times before.
Have a look at the index page, and you can probably match your device to a picture of your phone. Read the rules on the board (posted in the General thread). And please read everything you can on the wiki, or even google for it.
Basically, the radio rom is the bit that does the radio bit of your phone - communicating with the phone (which is basically a "radio"). You shouldn't need to upgrade the radio part of the phone if you're having no problems.
Upgrading the OS part of the phone will give you new software etc. But the radio is normally fine unless you specifically know that there's a better version around.
But read first, ask questions later.

Well, apparently there is no way to tell if your phone is CID unlocked just by looking at it. you can check out the thread about unlocking your device that-s in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and do it. it doesn't hurt, and then you can be sure you have an unlocked device.
then you can flash any wizard ROM you like (provided you do have a Wizard, of course )
enjoy!

Yea just follow the guide. its pretty easy.

ok one last thing....my IPL and SPL are both currently 1.05....so do i need to downgrade first or can i just flash a new ROM straight away ?

anyone ???

Help me out. Please :D

I'm new here and i first got the tilt, and i was talking to an ATT employer and he was telling me about the xda developers. so i check it out and so far its awesome but the problem is...I cant firgure out how to do this. so CAN anyone guide me step to step by doing the tilt personalization??? i would greatly appericated it and is it free?...

Hi and welcome.
This site is completely free as is all the ROMs and programs created (with the exception of a few unlockers).
It depends what type of personalisation your after...
Replacing the ATT ROM with a "Cooked" ROM?
-Read the wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Kaiser for more information and the Sticky posts.
Installing new Applications?
-Just download them, copy to your device and install them.
Changing the theme?
-Each theme varies and has usually has dependecies on other software. All I can say is Read.
My best advice is to read other peoples guide's and other peoples common questions and things will fall into place.

Help Flashing Blackstone With 6.5

Hi Guys,
I have been having a problem when i have been flashing my blackstone with miri's Rom. Whenever i try and boot up the OS the colours are all distorted and weird, and the phone function does not work on the handset. I really want 6.5 on my phone and I was wondering if you could tell me how to fix these issues.
Many Thanks
sjbanks

I'd read the tutorials about flashing, since you're not the first person having these problems. Good luck.

Please read the Dummies Guide first, before posting. Every day someone opens a thread just to ask the same question. You need to update your SPL to get all colors. See HERE

It often is the latest stable software in the ROMs. And another thing.. It's better if you try some roms out. Its not so popular around here to ask about a god rom. It's a matter of taste and so on. Not so nice to other chefs if i, or any one else recommend a specific rom.
Check the thread about how to flash HSPL and just go nuts flashing and testing. Good luck!
Admin, please close.

Before anyone creates a new thread, the basic requirements for common decency would be to read the wiki, forum rules and use the 'search' function.
Now I understand that you are new, but your question(s) have been asked many times before.
FYI, a dummies guide thread exists for flashing. Also to ask an opinionated query is frowned upon in XDA as it creates endless long threads due to everyone having a different opinion. Best advice would be to read first few posts in each rom thread as this generally lists whats in each rom as well as providing a few screenshots of said rom. Then try a few roms to make your own conclusion on whats best for you

I've got some really stupid questions

Dear fellow seniors,
I'm new to this forum and i recently bought a htc hd. I'm totally new to smartphones and i've browsed through many pages in this forum but i can not understand a single thing written in it. I'm stupid, yes, but i'm willing to learn. So i hope someone can help me answer my queries below please!
1. If i want to upgrade to windows mobile 6.5 will this void my warranty? Is this really safe?
2. What does ROM stand for? And what does ROM do?
3. I see many ppl writing cooking class or chefs etc. What exactly does it mean by cooks/cooking class/chefs?
4. Occassionally my phone will turn on data transfer and connects to my service provider, which is incur me costs. I'm already connected to WiFi so how do i stop this automated turning on of data transfer? I will only use the internet when i'm connected to WiFi because i do not want to pay for the services.
Many thanks in advance,
sb600cc

1) Unless it's done by your provider, yes it will void the warranty unless you were to put everything back before sending it in. (Changing to a custom ROM voids the warranty, but again, if you set everything back, they wouldn't know).
2) ROM stands for Read Only Memory. So just as it sounds, it's memory that you shouldn't be able to change and only read from (not write to). The ROM has the OS and everything else saved on the phone. It's most like a Solid State Drive.
When you change your ROM, you change to w/e the new ROM has. Therefore this allows to change the OS and programs. This way, you can put win6.5 on the HD along with the latest and greatest versions of manila.
3.) cooks/chefs are those who make (cook) the new custom ROMs. W/e is in the ROM depends on the Chef.
4) Look up "nodata" for windows mobile.
Lastly, all this is in the sticky threads. So read the "flashing for dummies" threads and pretty much everything else that's stickied in the ROM development section and you'll be fine

Flashing to a WM 6.5 Rom will void your warranty, but you can always flash back to a stock ROM. If done right, HTC will never know that a custom ROM was installed on your device.
About a month ago my HD was broken. I flashed stock ROM back and sent my HD back to HTC for repairs. I don't think they found out about it, because they repaired my HD free of charge ^^

if something goes wrong read the part when you flash the rom with ruu and there's all info when you srew up so relax and choose a steady and stable rom on this forum.

1) If its an official rom by your provider it will not void warranty. However Windows Mobile (WM) 6.5 will not be made officially for the HD, so to get it you will have to use a custom rom. Having a custom rom does not automatically void warranty its the means to getting it (Read Dummies Guide for more info - link provided below) which can be recoverable.
2) ROM = Read Only Memory. Good description by Svegetto above.
3.) The cooks or chefs are the developers which make custom (non-official) ROMS. Different ROM's contain different things, for example WM6.1 or WM 6.5. Then you also have manila (or sense) version, i.e. sense 2.1, sense 2.5 or latest builds sense 2.5.3. Then there is customization, themes, applications (apps) installed etc etc
4) As stated above NoData can help. I've attached for your ease
I'd advise you to read the forum rules, the wiki and the sticky threads (Threads at top of each forum which are full of useful information. They are called stickies as they are stuck to top of each forum). If you want to flash (upgrade) to a newer official or unofficial (custom) ROM read and follow this guide
I don't want this to become a personal Q&A, so best advice is read read read.
