Hey.
I have just one question. How to install a new ROM? Is the install from Windows Vista or snapvue? and what file should I use?
just search for customs roms, it really easy to install, the install is made from the pc part, I recommend the thaihugo releases
read about HSPL anf SPL
You must first unlock your device with regards to the ROM section.
There's a tool called hard spl. After that, flash any ROM, thaihugo's are cool, so are plirom and I00 roms

Hi, i got the HD in March, and just wonder the benefits of installing a custom rom. Like Dutty's (seems to be popular). I read the threads of the contents in the rom , but what would you push for in this custom roms that isn't in the original rom.
If i flash it, is there a "easy" way to get back to original rom? I guess i HAVE to flash the rom back to original?
Is it diffrent original roms for diffrent countries?
Does the customs incl,
Landscapce mode in sms,mail, browse?
Nice calender, original sucks (looks like win 3.11)?
Last silly question, is there other themes fo customs?
I have understood that the Manilla is the graphical layout, or am i out in the bushes??

Yeah, the only way to get back to a stock ROM is by reflashing it (don't worry though, there are plenty of links to those around here).
And while flashing itself is not without a risk (you can always "brick" your device), I'd say it's well worth it. Custom ROMs generally offer more speed, often more stability (especially those made by well-known chefs), new features (Manila/TouchFlo from the new HTC phones, Touch Diamond2 and Touch Pro2, which includes a newer, nicer calendar) and yes, they very often do have advanced screen rotation.
My Blackstone is currently sporting Davideuck's V-4_HP (that's a WMo 6.1 ROM with the new Manila) and it's probably the best ROM I've ever had on my phone. I recommend you to try that one.
As for themes, yeah, there are a few, especially in Blackstone's "Themes and Applications" subforum. And yep, you understood correctly, Manila (or Touch Flo 3D, as HTC likes to call it) is the graphical interface.
Ok, thanks for the answers. And if you see a thread with a link to a "swedish rom" notify me
So if i understood things right, i install hspl on the phone, boot it up in that "special way" flash it by SD card or custonruu on pc.
Either i put it on the root of the sd card and flash the rom och start customruu on the pc and choose the rom file from there?

Not if you want to flash Dutty's 2.7 or 2.8. You have to use USPL 2.5 and flash a stock 1.56 ROM in advance. Instructions on how to do this are included in the thread of this ROM.
Ok, whats the diffrent between USPL and HSPL ? Can i flash other rom with USPL ? Why do i need to "install" a stock rom 1.56?
Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you already have stock ROM and have never used HSPL to change your stock SPL, then all you have to do is flash to the new stock HTC ROM (which contains the new SPL you need), and then use USPL to flash a custom ROM.
So if I understood it correctly, this is the way to do it..
I too feel like I'm ready to install a custom ROM and was either considoring
Dutty's or Davaideucks's ROM's but what I wanted to know was, even though
these ROM's maybe more stable and faster, how buggy are they?
Is it possible that someone creates a exe file for a new rom install like the official rom install has? I tried to get it done with hardspl but i only got errors en install didn't work. Guess it's not my cup of tea. If someone could make this i would be verry greatfull. Rom should be light.

if you don't flash HSPL on your phone, you can't also flash the modifided rom with a .exe file. The .exe file is only compressed. the whole flashing is also going by the original HTC rom with ruu
The flashing process is no harder than running an exe once Hard SPL is flashed.
Take your time to go through this tutorial and it should all come together : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=514406
Any further problems post there.

Hi all,
I'm new to this kind of operation, so I'm just wondering if the following sequence is correct or not.
1. Flash the HardSPL
2. Flash the ROM (I'm looking into the WCX Rhodium TILT 2 ROM)
3. Flash the Radio.
4. Run Task 29
Am I done? Do I need to download the hotfixes from HTC's website? I'm going to get the Tilt 2 from AT&T.
Thanks a lot!

I dont know exactly what is task 29, but when I was flashing my TP2, then I did this steps
1. sync my phone with windows in windows wia USB
2. start HardSPL auto mode (this have to be done only once, if you never made a flash before).
3. reboot TP2
3. run custom ROM
4. reboot phone
5. do a hard reset (recommended but not necessary)
remember that flashing your phone will erase all your data on it !!!!
this was all and everything works fine
If I can recommend than try energy ROM with Sense 2,5, it seems to be reall fast and stable ..

Task 29 is actually sticky on the top of this board
Task29 formats the memory of your phone. If you want to use it you have to do it BEFORE installing the new ROM. It is not recomended if you are changing from Stock to Custom ROM, more likely if you flash different Custom ROMs.
Ahh, thanks!
What about the 2 hotfix from HTC, do I need to install them after the flash of the custom ROM?

ok, so as I understand, task29 have to be started after HardSPL and before ROM flash to clean ROM memory.
I didn't used it and I don't see any bugs or something like this
about hotfixes
I thing its not necessary custom ROMs have in most cases everything well-tuned
you will see
Wonderful, I think that's all I can think of right now! Thanks for all your help!
I take the POST to ask something else...
The suggested order for the flashing of a Rhodium is:
HardSPL
Task29
Flash ROM (Recommended Hard Reset after flashing)
Flash Radio
The process is right?
I can download the next update of the site of HTC Mobile Phone
Support
(http://member.america.htc.com/download/RomCode/HTC_Tilt2_ATT/HTCTilt2ATTOriginalShipROM.exe) and install it before HardSPL?
Or I can install HardSPL before an official update from HTC?

You can still install official ROMs (e.g. from HTC or your carrier), even if you've got HardSPL, yes.
As for the first bit above though, whether you can install an official ROM without HardSPL depends on your phone/ROM combination. If that ROM is an official ROM designed specifically for your model/branding/carrier of phone, then you don't need HardSPL. e.g. I have a Vodafone-branded TP2, so without HardSPL I would be able to install official Vodafone ROMs, but I would *not* be able to install an official HTC ROM (because my phone isn't just a plain HTC-branded TP2).

Thank you very much.
Help is greatly appreciated...
Another little question?
Is there any problem if flashing first the Radio (4.49.25.77) and then the ROM (WWE | Rhodium | Energy | May 28 | 21905).
THANKS.
Please refer to here for flashing questions.

I'm not aware of an OliNex version other than 0.72 (except for the mfg spl of course), which hasn't been updated for quite some time
so if you found a v1.4 for the X1 post it here
to erase possible leftovers it's been reported to either flash a stock rom before flashing custom one ore using task29 (rom dev)
do some research and decide for yourself whether to try one of them or not
Best, DK
i have not found v1.4 olinex, i have 0.72 i'm sorry typing error, so what is the difference between your 1.0 and mine 0.72? (they have the same purpose)
hmm, okey, but how to install a stock rom? i know how to install a custom rom, just transfer to sdcard and boot with volume button down.. is it same for stock roms?(just rename it to kovsimg.nbh) where to find stock roms? when i install stock rom, will i still have olinex hard spl?

0.72 = v1.0
install stock rom = install custom rom
find stock roms either through reference thread in rom dev or here
hspl will not be removed as long as you don't flash back to stock spl
Best, DK
so, if i understood you, with mine 0.72 i can install stock and custom rom?
and you with 1.0 can install just custom?
and also, if i install stock rom, i install it the same way like custom one? (tranfer kovsimg.nbh to root of memory card and enter bootloader)
and if i install the stock rom like that, can i then install again custom one, i meen will my hard spl will delete or it's on the special memory of the phone? that i can't change with rom installations? thank you

correct
wrong, what I label as v1.0 is exactly the 0.72 that everyone uses
correct, you install stock like custom roms, either using sd or ruu methods
installing stock rom does not overwrite your hspl, so after stock you can flash custom roms right away, roms do not affect the spl as you said
Best,
DK
hey guys,i have a problem with my xperia x1,i was installing costume rom then it was not good so i tried to go back to the official one from sonyericsson,any way i was doing that but before that i made a task 29 to clean the device first then i tried to make a stock spl to install the official one but i found that the task 29 is doing that by it self,so i tried to install the official using the update service but this stupid new update of that program is rely so bad because its telling me that i have the latest update for my device and that all then exit, and i remember before that new update i can reinstall the rom even its telling me that but now i cant,so my phone is out of working now, so please i need ur help, if any one can...... thank you guys

Task 29 does not install stock spl by itself
don't start flashing roms until you've read and fully understood all guides...?!
SE update doesn't work with hard-spl installed - which you still have. task29 doesn't change that.
you need to download your stockrom from here and flash it via usb or microsd.
after that's done, you can decide if you want to keep hard-spl or if you want to restore stock-spl, which is needed to use SEUS. (but since you already have stockrom, why bother?)
how to restore stock-spl is explained in the hard-spl thread, end of post #1. follow the instructions there closely, or you will brick your phone! flashing spl requires a special .exe, don't use the one from task29, a custom-rom or whatever!
