Hello everyone! I recently purchased an O2 XDA mini S. It was originally a German O2 contract and I want to change it to an english/american non O2 branded system. Which Rom should I update with? I have visted the wizard folder in the FTP, but there are so many different ROMs. I can't tell which ones are good plus meet the english / non-branded criteria.
Thanks for any assistance
(As you surely guessed, I'm not a developer. Please excuse errors in terminology etc. )
****EDIT - Just realized that this should go in Wizard updating. Please move if possible****
At first you must CID-unlock your phone, if you want any ROM with edited OS version.
And than you can flash: Faria`s ROM, Ridsoro`s ROM or mine and Jimm98y`s superrom, and others.
Look at the forum and choose that, what is best in your opinion
Make sure you do your reading before you do anything else. You can really **** up your phone if you dont know what your doing.
the WWE stands for world wide english.. i guess this is what ur looking for
There are thousands of posts on the same.
Maybe I can make the question simpler
What is the Best and Most Stable ROM available at the moment?
Is there a thread whcih contrasts all hese different ROMS?
I think that's a great question... in fact, the answer should almost be stickied:
"What is the best and most stable ROM for a non-advanced user?"
Gotta run; somebody should set up a poll. As of right now, and my knowledge is definitely limited, I'd vote for Molski 2.26 Final.
Which Rom to use
You're going to get as many answers as posts on this one. I think xelencin's is the best for newbies:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=274205
a poll on this would be cool.
anyone knows that can point me in the right direction?
please check out the kaiser rom development forum. It has tons of information about roms and new rom releases.
Right now Dutty, Leo, Shogunmark, DK all have releases on the latest os build. Please browse and see the one you like as roms are based on individual taste. What i like you might hate ... so search and flash different roms to find your perfect match
happy flashing..
just advice (don't take it wrong way): before flashing roms make sure you flash hardspl to your device first. The only reason i give this advice is because i see you are junior member and i sincerely don't want you to brick your phone.
peace,
Sire
thanx for the info playa

That is a question that has been ask numerous times on this forum ad nausium. Generally this is a forum that gives specific answers to specific questions. People who come in here and ask subjective questions are met with much annoyance. It tells people that you didn't bother to read any of the other hundreds of posts on this subject and didn't bother to help yourself using our resources.
I explain this because you are new here. Like cars, there are many different roms for many different needs there is no best. As far as the latest official rom, you already have it on your phone.
You would not walk in to the library and ask the librarian to teach you, you would get the appropriate books and teach your self. The same must be done here if you want to fit in and make friends. After becoming informed , if you have any questions people will be happy to answer them here
... I'll be more specific then.. Can somebody please let me know which official wwe 6.0 rom is the latest? is it that dopod version from wiki? (1.82.721.1)
I'm asking, as I noticed that not all of roms are listed down there and I am soooo dissapointed with official 6.1 that I want to go back.
thanks for reply mates

I am assuming that you are looking for the Asian TyTN II version

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.

It's best to Get in there early as a Moderation Team.
There is a Wiki, and Official Rom Release should be posted to the ultimate referral guide in any case to the wiki.
Sorry if it looks like threads are killed quickly in this case, we can't go around giving the impression that posting Official Roms to a thread is th right way to go.
Unless you off course are posting the very firts Official Rom that is
I am looking to put my Blackstone back to something that looks like a stock rom, i have searched and search found some great Roms but i want something basic to sell the phone on. any ideas please
Do you want to sell the phone? you may want to flash the original 6.1 Rom which can be downloaded from shipped-roms.com
If you want a Rom with Manila 2.5 and stock look, you may want to try the roms from Wajk (Blackstonehenge), Miniterror (ravange) or Coudy (Cloudyfa)
