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 ???

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, im new to the forum.

Ok, well, there is no telling what the BEST software is, just read through the forums, alot of people offer there own versions of the updates, and decide which on is safest for you to update with and stuff...

haha Okay. Is there anything you could suggest? like WM6 or something that is pretty bug free? i dont really understand the kitchen thing and i dont know how to cook my own...
Hmn.. this is the one that I use... Crossbow Reloaded v1.5 .. check it out here.
I like it, see if its compatible with your device first as you should always do.
sweet!!!! it worked! thanks!
No problem, glad I could help.
I just want a ROM that is:
1. Unintsallable
2. Fast, stable and glitch-free.
3. Panel install only
4. Should only require soft-reset
5. should look exactly like HTC's interface
6. Landscape mode preferred.
As you may have guessed, im a noob. But I just wanted to know as there is like a sea of ROMs and it becomes very difficult for a person not very knowledgable like me to pick one. I just want 2 things most importantly, that it shud be panel-installable and shud support landscape mode, along wiht being stable.
Thanx a ton guys!!
I don't understand your 1st and 3rd point. All roms can be replaced.
I personally dislike having Touchflo as is a bit unstable for me. If you want 6.5 I've used this for weeks, the barebones version, link and its been pretty stable on me.
Read other threads asking about rom choices too, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=590874
sweet..by
1. i meant it can be uninstalled if it gives some problem...(i raed sumwhere its a pain to remove it from ur system)
and
3. by that i meant, that it is only installed in a panel, not in the whole sys..as in i dont want the OS to change, i want X1 OS but only one panel can be HTC's touch flo

2. Fast, stable and glitch-free.
Use a stock ROM or cook your own.
3. Panel install only
4. Should only require soft-reset
5. should look exactly like HTC's interface
Get an HTC phone then.
6. Landscape mode preferred.

Read what I typed above in red.
tahnx Im Packing...
though i get your humour(and frustration with the number of noob questions being asked everyday)
but plz understand, I am an original noob. I dont understand wht u mean by "cook your ROM"
also, the very fact i have posted this Question, is that there are so many ROMs.
Like see, there are many ways to run a Mac on ure PC (iAtkos, Kalyway etc) but I used Kalyway..so here i cant find my Kalyway...
is ITJE's ROM good??heard about it...
plz suggest specific ROM so that i dont have to do a lot of RND with my (brand new) phone...thanx a lot once again.
Here is my suggestion for you. Just try a rom for one week and see which one fit you the best. It's very easy ans SAFE to install new rom and every rom has it plus and minus. I personally install different rom every other date because i want to have the newest stuff for my phone.
I think you misunderstand what ROMs are. I think you should read the Wiki first. Then read the stickies. Then if you have questions try searching first, and then you should fire away with questions.
The questions you are posing now are not ROM related they are software related. If you really want to flash a ROM then you should first read what a ROM (Read-Only Memory) is and why you would want to flash one and what HARD-SPL is and how to prevent bricking. If you are not ready for a custom ROM then perhaps you should just stick to some of the many cabs that are available here.
Hopefully this will give you a starting place. Just opening a thread to ask nonsensical things is not going to be productive for you, and will only confuse or irritate more experienced members. If you have a basic understanding everything should fall into place after that. Good luck.
Thanx Hannigan174..i appreciate ure help and apologize for posting this Question. u are right, i actually dont understand what ROMs are in trems of X1....
But i wil take ur suggestion...i wil first try out diff ROMs and then post a query...
I understand what you want: a theme or a application not flash your phone with another ROM, is it?
Try check this out... and this ... also try this
Also you may check this one and this
Good luck

what you see is the Manila user-interface, can be any ROM currently had it cooked unless stated differently. And it can be of 2.1 or 2.5 (Leo), and installable under pure or clean rom.
Just read the stickies first under the Sony Ericsson Xperia X1 ROM development thread. First step, you're going to need to flash HardSPL, then flash any ROM you like with the Manila interface.
This/URL] is one of the example, always read last pages to see the current issues on the latest build, then pick your choice

I dont really get it... what did you mean by unlocking ? and what 9 movies?
my micro SD card has 9 movies...MIB, da cinchi code..etc... can unlock it..i have a Sony Pictures app also..it lets me see the trailer of each film and then i can unlock the whole film..and watch it
the more i read, the more im gettin confused...there is this software on one hand cutsomRUU...
then there is a cab availbale, then there is also the hardUSPL or something...
this is just getting more complicated, im eading the sticky threads but to no avail....can any1 plz help me how to get whats in the video..step by step with links...plz, its a humble request...
everything is explained in this sticky thread. just follow the steps. do a backup of your important data before u start
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=446070
but i really think u have no clue what u are facing by flashing ure device. every data on youre phone (not those on youre storage card) will be lost and all the programms u installed will be gone so u have to reinstall them after flash. by flashing ure device u will completely remove everything thats on ure phone and relace it with the new rom. did u ever updated youre device via seus?
the sony pictures app will be gone also and then u probably will not be able to watch your movies u have on youre card. unless u have this as a cab somewhere.
I've always recommended SPB Warehouse Backup. I made a thread, though nobody commented on it...but IMHO, and I gtrab and Siruis [X] are now using them, it's the best backup/restore program out there. It allows you to restore all your PIM and programs after flashing your phone.
The trial allows you to use it for 5 times before having to purchase a license. It's well worth it as custom ROMs are coming out every couple days or so, it saves time, effort, and the frustration of having to constantly restore your phone manually.
i am a new user and i want to upgrade my rom to wm6.5. can someone please help me with the process....i dont know anything about SPL or other terms. please try to guide me through the process, what to do first etc etc
thanks in advance
Very simple as we speak M8....
Charge ur mobile battery fully.
Sync it with Active sync with your PC and update ur Dotnet till up to date.
Run Opal HArd SPL and a set of files will come inside the folder u have hard spl, a dialogue box will appear, dont click next and now paste the Rom u have downloaded into the folder and overwrite it..
Now Read the following steps in tat dialogue box and its done....
thanks a lot,
can u suggest a good rom for my phone? id like one with lots of features and no bugs......i searched for a few but it seems all of them have a few bugs. a wm 6.5 would be great. thanks again

You could try calling your service Provider to give you the Sim Unlock Code or you could pay someone to get you the code.

I posted this response to this same question over in the ROM development forum.
I too am a relatively new user to this board and a complete newbie to flashing the ROM of my Touch Viva. I wanted a newer more finger friendly ROM for my touchscreen Viva and getting the exact answer to how to flash the phone wasn't easy.
I read through different posts and basically pieced together the information that I use from many different posts. I too was concerned about "bricking" my phone and wanted to get it right.
I've flashed my phone with roughly a dozen different ROMs and have finally settled on one that I like and have also flashed a second Viva with an upgraded ROM also. So if you take your time and have a little patience you can do it.
I hope this helps.
Jagan2's guide
I found a great new post by Jagan2 on how to install/flash a custom ROM. You can find it here.
By the way, he is also the chef of a very good custom ROM called Evolution 2 which is what I'm currently using. I'm patiently waiting for his upcoming 2.5 version.
yea man im using evolution too its amazing rom for WM 6.5 ... give it a try and everything and all the steps u will find the in the fourm about hard spl and installing the rom too lemme know if u need help
