I am new and have just bought an unlocked HD running windows 6.1 and really want to have windows 6.5 on it with one of the Roms from here, I have searched and searched on instructions how to do this from scratch but I have read so much that I just don't know where to start, could someone please point me in the right direction, as I really don't know where to start, sorry if I appear to be stupid but everything I have read seems so technical and I would like to understand what I am reading, thank you so much...
Welcome to the wonderful world of Blackstone!
Have a read of the Dummies Guide:- http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
Once you get passed all the technical mumbo jumbo, it's really not that complicated. Good luck!
As krs360 says, it sounds very technical but it is really straight forward. Just read and follow each step.
You can also get more information regarding the various components of the flash files here
Thank you for the replies, I will try and understand all the jargon, I will read it over a few times, thanks again...Where can I download hard spl for the touch hd??
That's the best advice. This thread will probably be closed soon, so please post any further questions you have in this thread - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
As above post. Thread closed

hi..
i just got my wing yesterday and i want to flash a new rom on it.
i was trying to learn as much as possible before my phone got here, but i still dont know too much
ok, so what is a SPL?? i saw one rom that said if you dont have an SPL of 4.0 or something like that dont use it.. i have a clue as to what that is or what mine is
what is overclocking?? do I NEED to do it??
what is the easiest (or has the easiest UI) reg editor??
are their any extra programs i might need to flash a rom on my phone??
This is the wrong forum to post your questions.
It's only about ROM developing.
The Herald mobile 6 forum would be the appropriate place to go.
There you will find all the information you need.
The forum moderator papamopps collected all the important stuff for beginners
and unexperienced users coming to the Herald/Wing forum.
Here is the compendium:
[UPDATED] >> !! - ALL Important LINKS - !! < > !! Noobs and ALL read carefully !! <<
Please get familiar on how and where to post your questions, ideas, solutions, etc.
Enjoy your time here at xda-dev.
hello and thank you for moving my thread to the appropriate forum
i read that whole thread that was posted above with all the links first before i posted and it didnt answer any of the questions I asked.
so can anyone please answer them for me? Thank you
just a quick question on rooting, if you have already upgraded the firmware of the dream to 1.5 before rooting is it still the same process or would it be the same process as the magic, i ask because the tut in the wiki is displaying for firmware 1.
i have the magic atm but my dad has the dream so about to root his phone
please help much appreciated

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
This is the developer's forum, you should ask all questions in the Q&A section...
The rooting process is the same, you have to downgrade to RC29 using the DREAIMG.nbh as stated in the tutorials.
Follow this tutorial if you have anymore questions

cheers for the help and excuse my ignorance i was just passing by didnt really have time to read the whole read before you post jargon but tanks a million

Please god, don't use this tutorial if you want to keep your device!
Use HardSPL for Rhodium, not Blackstone .
Also, MightyMike ROMs are CDMA.
this thread should be locked!!! if the stickies up top dont explain how to follow procedures, then dummies dont need smartphones!!!!
this seems like a shameless plug for those snotty geeks over at PPC!!!
Or just follow the steps in the sticky at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540 ...
Nice effort on the part of the creator, however there are items missing that NEED to be included for noobs, especially. dominicanman912 is correct in stating, if you can not use the stickie guide for flashing, then take your phone back and get a purdy little iPhone, because it's too simple to learn. c0nv1ct77 , if they allow this thread to stay open, I would advise you to add info on the differences between CDMA and GSM ROMs. Also, the HSPL version is incorrect, they will need Rhodium and not Blackstone. Some link posts to the correct information would also be helpful. Nice thought though, some do need a plan English help guide, rather than what noobs would consider "too technical".
after the constructive criticism.. i have decided to agree with the collective and am goin to try an close this down!!!
sorry for the ignorance
“If ignorance is bliss, why aren't more people jumping up and down for joy.”
I know there's a bunch of threads out there on the different cooked ROMs that are available. Being a noobie to this, I was looking for any insight how to go about flashing my very first cooked ROM. I have a Tilt2 that I purchased a little over a month ago with a couple tweeks I mustered up enough confidence to do: crud scraper and some registry edits via rescoe editor. Flashing a ROM seems like there's a whole lot more involved and with my limited knowledge may wind up rendering my phone inoperable for life with one or three missed steps.
Any insights as to the necessary steps .... in a step by step manner preferably .... would be very much appreciated!
There's a whole step-by-step guide in the sticky thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
If you're not clear anything, then post up your questions over there, and I'm sure someone will help.
As already stated read the stickys and post in pre existing threads.
On that note thread closed.
XDA'ers, thanks a lot for wealth of info, but I figured out there is no clear instructions to process of putting a new rom,radio etc on to the device. Are there any clear instructiosn for n00bs like me? I'm new to Android,but not new to Linux itself,so anybody if could help with what are the steps and howto guides?
thanks
Read Stickies lol
