Read this. Tells you everything you need to know
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard

i went though the wiki site a lot time but the upgrade page have nth
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_1_Upgrade&version=1
plz check it

Try this instead
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard_Upgrades

the page is nth to see

I don't think anyone has the time to write out a detailed step-by-step process again for you. If you are having issues with viewing the wiki page, you can try using the search feature to do a little research. If you're still having problems, then I wouldn't recommend trying this. It is a bit technical and takes time to understand.

Then, try this thread

issues updating ROM

whats up guys?
I seem to be having a problem updating my rom
I have tried numerous ROMs from the site, but for some reason it always gives me a error when I attempt to download it.
Has anyone heard of this problem or can hand me any advice?
Thanks A lot
-Chris

What's up 2 u.
Have you read the Wiki or any of the stickies? If not, before you go any further, and make a paperweight of you device, you may want to read a little. You can't just slap a new ROM on there. You first need to prepare the phone. Lucky for you your device failed instead of breaking. Seems the phone is smarter than the owner.

"...the phone is smarter than the owner"
there is no need to be condescending, a simple answer leading me to the right direction would have sufficed.
I would thank you for your help, but I cant thank a person with a attitude as demeaning as yours....now my advice to you would be to grow up.
ciao

i got the same replies for some of the "senior members" on here, it's normal.
You say, you get an error while "downloading?!". do you mean, downloading the roms from the mirrors or an error while flashing the rom. If it's during the update, what error exactly?
I flashed my phone the first time last tuesday (NoThrill Rom, Hardspl, new radio) with the help of the wiki. To save you the work searching the wiki pages
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserROM_FlashingFAQ
1.) How to backup your old Rom for warranty return http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1586817
or download the right rom here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
2.)Read through the HardSPL threads (if you don't understand it, read several times) http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL Questions? and choose the right HardSPL version http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=396922
(Searching for JumpSPL?? it's in the attachment of this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=354061 )
3.) Read through the rom flashing process http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=KaiserIntroductionToROM_Flashing
4.) choose a rom here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Cooked_ROMs or from the rom developement board in the forum and flash it
5.) Check if you need a new radio (read through the thread for your rom) if you experience any problems
This is how i've done it. Took me about 5 or 6 hours for everything. If you have any problems with the flashing, all problems are known and there are threads about it
Good Luck with your phone.

Hey, thanks a lot.
Its a communication error during the update.
You have been really helpful with those links, I appreciate the time you took to reply.
have a good day.

Please help

Please Help
I really am going crazy with this rom flashing stuff. I have read the wiki for 2 days.
I understand I need to CID unlock my phone before I can apply cooked roms. But after countless searches I cant find clear info on how to CID unlock my phone.
This really is a last resort, I have been rading for 2 days with no certainty of what to do next.
Thanks

USPL and HSPL do this for you so you are able to flash a rom or radio. Read this page from wiki. It'll help you understand
Follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide on how to flash (can be found in my signature). If you intend to do a lot of flashing I'd flash HSPL as its permanent whilst USPL is temporary and you'd need to re-use it before every flash to new rom or radio
Latest HSPL can also be found in my signature

Ah excellent thank you so much.
So can I flash straight to the newest 1.56 rom from my current version which is 1.19.61.1WWE on orange?
Or is there a stage in between I would have to do.
Thanks again.

Flashing from one HTC stock rom to another you don't need to use USPL or HSPL. But going to a cooked rom you do.
Answer to your query is it depends on route you take. If you go down the USPL route you'll need to follow cRaCKwHoRe's guide. Would take to long to explain and he as already done a very good tutorial on the subject. If you go down HSPL route, all you need to do is flash latest HSPL then 1.56 rom

That clears everything up. one last thing, which rom would you reccomend? I like the look of the enwer roms with WM6.
Thanks again much appreciated.

I'm currently testing Dutty's V3.4. His V3.3 is already released but I'd wait for the new release hopefully in a few days. Both are based on WM6.1. Alternatively their is so many good roms out there. I'd also recommend Davideuck, EnergyROM & L26_THDV2.2 (Laurentius26). All very good roms by very good cooks. Best thing would be to try each of them and make your own opinion

thanks again mate, you are a legend, Ill post tonight to let you know how it went.

Does the phone really have to be unlocked before flashing a new ROM?

There are a few forms of unlocking but the bottom line is that you need to bypass the checking which is done in the flash process.
One way is permanat as done once no issues anymore - HSPL
Another is as and when you need - USPL.
Wiki has a walk through that needs to be upated but I thought still was useable.
Flash the new 1.56 shipped rom and then move on to cooked roms. (will help you by pass the greenscreen issue)

Sorry to hijack your thread futurama but I am having the same problem. Could you let me know how you did it

Thanks HDuser. Not sure if you know where I`m up to but originally I flashed my Orange 1.19.61.1 ROM with USPL and then flashed Duttys 2.7 1.56 based ROM which has given me the green screen problem. An earlier poster suggested I flash Olinex HSPL 1.54 to cure the problem. The problem I am having now is the phone refuses to sync with the PC. I have tried Vista and XP, the PC does not hibernate or sleep or anything, the phone is set to not switch off. It will usually sync on first connection but after a few seconds it will disconnect and therefore HSPL is reporting as being disconnected.
I have tried the earlier HSPL and HSPL 1.56 (as the ROM in bootloader screen is reported as being 1.56 and SPL is 1.14). I feel I`m going round in circles and its only a matter of time before I brick the phone.
I have read and re-read the wikis but I am now just getting more and more confused.

davemazo
Look the best way to approach any problem is to go back to the roots.
Flash a stock rom, find your own stock rom and refalsh it, then take it from there.
Your post is missleading and I have no idea were to sart. One issue is your PC ist does not Hibanate, not or go into sleep mode, at the saem time you are saying that you can't sync. Sounds like you have other problems and those other problems are making you have problems with your device.

Thanks HDuser. Sorry for confusing you, but I am now totally confused myself, Basically though the phone does not sync with the PC, I have tried 2 PC`s, with Vista and XP.
But back to your point about flashing stock ROM, I have tried a link in the wiki to download the one I need which is Orange 1.19.61.1 but the link seems to be broken and I don`t know where else I can get it. It doesn`t seem to be on the Orange website or HTC.

There is a part on the black stone wiki that mentions I need to CID unlock my phone. It says you need to do this before you can flash roms, I felt it wasn't clear that, all I needed to do was flash HSPL in order to allow me to put new roms on.
This is what I did.
1:Flashed HSPL olinex 1.14.
2:Flashed HSPL Olinex1.56
3:Flashed MIRI WM6.5 10.0WWE
only part I had trouble with, my phone wouldnt let me flash the HSPL at first, I had to use a manual thing that you launch on the device the it lets you flash the HSPL.

It sounds as if you have it sorted now and everything working. As HDUser stated previously HSPL & USPL allows you to bypass the CID lock to enable you to flash new roms

Only thing I need clearing up, I can change my SPL back to the original version cant it?
Just incase anything goes tits up and I need to send it back

Of course you can. All information you need including original stock radio's, roms etc are available in wiki to download.

Sorry everyone a little help please.....

hi everyone, ill start by saying sorry if this is in the wrong place, but anyway, i am currently using itje touch it rom and i love it, but i saw his touch it leo rom and i like that one better.
My question is if i put on the leo rom do i have to hard spl the phone again?
thanks in advance for the help, and keep up the good work.
p.s sorry for my noobish-ness lol i oinly got my x1 yesterday.

NO, you only have to install hard-spl once.

wow that was sooo quick lol, thanks very much, i thought so i just wanted to make sure, as i read on a different site(cant remember) that you did, but on xda the threads say you dont lol.
again thanks you.

Haha, no it's fine to do it once. The hard-spl will stay on your phone after each flash. spl and rom have nothing to do with each other. So only once!

another question
i have another question. it says in every thread that hard reset after installation.
if i use the PC method (with rom update utility that is) would i need to hard reset as well? also what is the purpose of hard resetting? does it improve the performance ?

I recommend everybody to do one or two hardresets after flashing the rom.
hardreset basically resets your device and starts flashing the rom out of the memory.

hardresets normally removed left-over files from the previosu ROM's after flashing. This should, in theory, provide you with a clean ROM to start with.

need help booting

i`m sorry about the new threat but i`m new here and i could`t find anything to help me ..
how do i boot a new rom to my htc dream ..
i know that in win mobile you need to hard spl first then just download the rom you want and that`s it.. how do i do`it whith a android device?
thank you in advance and i`m sorry again for the new thread

Hold down "Home" and hit "Power." Then hit Alt+F.
Also, this should be in Q&A.

i am actually wanting a step by step instruction.
something from the unboxing to the actual booting proces ..
ok the phone is unboxed obviously and unlocked as well .. what next ?

I like the description of the process on this site. it is complete but a little old. The links should work.

Lots of the same stuff with more options.
There are new versions of the recovery image and the Roms which are in the development section on xda. Just be sure to read everything a few times and you'll have no trouble.

i will check the site now
thank you

And please please please make sure you understand everything about Haykuro's (Danger/Death) SPL IF you decide to flash it. It's pretty much the only way you can brick your G1. If your ROM doesn't require Death SPL then skip it until you get the hang of flashing things.
