Okay so i joined xda and started looking at some cool application and being new to this whole thing i was amazed you could get windows 6.5 so i started to see some tuts and i came across ROM's. i did know about these therefore i read up a little and understood SPL's are what the system runs on and ROM is OS based, if i'm right? But i do not understand the need of a new SPL before getting 6.5 ROM? i would be grateful if anyone could explain this to i'm very confused and also i have not modded my htc hd in any way
My current Rom version is 1.14.405.3.wwe
Radio version 1.09.25.14
Now if anyone can explain what i need to do to get windows 6.5 and all this ROM and SPL stuff please. i'm scared if i mess around with them, i might end up bricking my beloved htc hd.
thanks a lot in advance

Hello there...
I ordered my herald...actually a p4350 and i will be receiving it in a few days..
But as i know it will come with WM5 installed.
So,
i am trying to understand the procedures explained here but..
Theres some modified roms as i see.
So what should be the path to follow...
Upgrading to WM6 from htc's webpage ? or is there any modified wm6 images around?
And what is rom called for? A kind of theme that should be installed after upgrading?
Any help will be appreciated.
Thanks in advance..
The best advice each one of us could give you is to start reading the posts your interested in. Make sure you have read enough to know what you are going to do and what to do when it goes wrong.
If your Herald comes packed with WM5 and you simply want to upgrade it to WM6, the best way to do this is by downlaoding the official RUU (Rom Upgrading Utility) for the HTC website (europe.htc.com).
If you're familiar with WM6 and you want to use a customized package then start reading the posts on how to upgrade, the (im)possibilities and it's pro's and cons. Start with reading the topics by ITje on how to upgrade to his rom. The latest version is Touch-IT V3 for Herald/P4350.
Make sure you have the official RUU before you start upgrading to the customized ROM, because you need that one incase you brick your Herald (means something went wrong during upgrade and it isn't working anymore).
All the answers to any question you might have can be found in these forum's. To make sure you don't piss of people or ask redundant question search the forum until you're desperate before you ask something.
Good luck!

Also using radio rom 2.71.11 and Snn 3.1 ....dont know if anyone does these things for free but thanks for any response
The answer my friend is:
If you want a Rom exact to your specs then you need to do the homework and read-up on how to cook a Rom.
yeah i suppose imbeing lazy but i really havent the patience at the moment ......but i am looking into the kitchen as we speak amd its sounding alright....i have so much great software and all combined i would have a hella rom seriously.....

Asking people to give you an opinion on the best ROMs is against forum rules. Not to be a stickler, but as it is peoples opinions, there are likely to be many different views as to which ROM is best. The best thing is to read this thread to be sure you have set up your phone correctly. You have 2 choices, either going the USPL or the HSPL route. You will see the pros and cons of each route in the thread.
I would also suggest reading the ROM threads in this forum where you will get a sense of how well the ROM is working ie any major bugs (or not) and then try a few of them yourself and see which one suits your needs best.
i still do not understand why opinionated posts are forbidden but anyway. until this thread gets closed, here is my opinion:
check out miri's rom because it has been very stable for a long time and a day after a new build is available you will get an updated rom.
just make sure that you also flash the latest radio rom.
prior to flashing make sure that you install hspl on your device.
for everything you need (hspl, radio, wm6.5 rom) there is a link in my signature.
Fast becoming a one-to-one Q&A thread
Please try searching & reading

Hi,
I read about ROM that can be downloaded to upgrade PPC. I downloaded the the WM 6.5ROM for my OPAL.
I just fell confused about some points that I hope you can help me with:
Do I have to install any SPL or HardSPL to be able to install the ROM?
Is there any stable version of WM 6.5 for opal or most of them have bugs?
I also hope that posters of new ROMs include all necessary steps to install their ROM and don't rely on the previous knowledge so newbies don't feel lost all the way.
Thanks to all of whoever exerted effort to please us with new ROMs and apps.
Any way, thanks for watching this topic, I found an answer that could be useful to others, it is the steps necessary to install your ROM (it uses Diamond but same steps applied)

To begin with you need to start with the wiki pages . It gives you an understanding about your Touch HD, Flashing a new ROM, or just about anything you want to know about your device. Read through the document as it is very well documented.
Here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
And don't forget that there is no official WM 6.5 update for HD, so everything you do is on your own risk!
Once you've read the wiki and know all aout your device and risks with flashing, you can use this guide to flash a custom wm6.5 rom
Post further flashing queries in that thread
