Hello, i'm kinda new to smartphones and WM flashing and this stuff(never flashed before) so i got my kaiser second hand with the Hyper dragon III(WM6.1) and im not feeling it stable i checked out several ROM's but i don't know since this phone was given to me flashed if Hard SPL is in there and i don't know how to check actually... and if i try to flash it to the phone and it's already there will there be any complications also if any one could tell me a fairly good WM6.5 ROM becouse i just can't make up my mind.
Thank You
All answers for your main questions are in the FAQ >here<.
As for which rom well i recommend jjblasters stable 6.5 release but it's all personal preference. Link to that in my sig if you want it.

Try the different roms and see which one is suitable for your needs, that's why there are so many...made for different people and different tastes enjoy flashing it really does not take that long to load a rom.

Hey all,
First please let me say I am not looking for anyone to tell me what is the BEST cooked rom out there. I know each one has specific plusses and minuses that are suited to particular purposes.
Also, I have looked through this forum. I have read most of the WIKI, and spent an hour reading through various posts. However, I haven't found a concise discussion of this as many people are focusing on cooked ROMs.
I am getting a Tilt and from my reading so far I am pretty sure I want to reflash it with an HTC Rom. I want the TouchFlo and some of the other stuff that the HTC offers. I have some general questions though:
1) Is there a downside to putting HTC Rom on a Tilt? I know there are some little issues that have solutions (like keyboard remap) but will I experience any instability or call/data quality issues running HTC over ATT ROM?
2) Relating to #1...can/should I just keep the ATT ROM and can I then add everything from the HTC ROM (from cabs?). I don't know which solution yields the best stability.
3) Is there a reason why I would go with a 6.0 ROM instead of 6.1 ROM? I would like to believe that the 6.1 is the newer, better stuff...but maybe not?
4) What is the latest 6.1 official ROM? Is it RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_1.56.405.5_radio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship?
5) When it comes to "official" shipped ROMs and Radio firmware from ATT and HTC, is there any good reason not to use the latest versions? That is are any of the new versions a step backwards in terms of stability/performance?
I do not want to use any cooked firmware (at least initially). I would like to start with a vanilla shipped firmware and then add/remove things myself. If this comes down to me cooking my own ROM so be it, but I would like to start with the basic.
My goal is to have a ROM that will be fast and stable, with as few lock-ups or resets as possible.
Thanks for your assistance.
1)i dont believe so it depends on the radio i believe
2)i think u should flash cuz it'll remove all the atnt junk..bloatware n such
3)it all depends on personal pref...i did cuz i wanted the threaded sms function
4)i dont know.sorry
5)i think they're all pretty much the same..just gotta test the differnt versions to find out
most of the cooked roms i tried arent as bad...not many lockups or resets
i'm still a noob at flashing tho so still trying things out
So I just got my new Diamond (Hong Kong traditional chinese version), version below:
ROM: 1.37.832.4 CHT
Date: 06/23/08
Radio: 1.00.25.03
Protocol: 52.26a.25.09H
I wanted to get the most out of the little phone. What tweaks and fixes I need to do to get to everyone elses "standard" ? Such as updating, changing the language to english, some kind of ways to backup my old ROM, speed fix on the menus and navigation, tweaks on longer battery life Also tell me if there is more needed.
Can anyone tell me where to get those stuff (Or if those things exists) ? I would greatly appreciate it.
Thank you very much !
update to WWE rom and flash the radio, use the roll up stickies as tutorials at the top of the pages, read, search and you will find.
no one here will want to find it for you. open your eyes and take a look around. its all here.

Hey, I am new to this and I don't have the slight understanding of how these things work. That is why I'm asking for help. I wouldn't want to install the wrong things and kill my diamond (It happened before with my PSP =/).
But thank you for answering. Is updating the rom and radio all I need ?

Ouch, harssshhh.
To the original postah... Search for "Diamond Tweaks", should be a sticky in this forum. Those should help a lot for the performance of your Diamond. You CAN flash a new ROM and radio (make sure to Hard SPL first, search on how to do that!) but it's not necessary and taking a risk... Not a very big one, but devices have been turned to paperweights from flashing messups many times. To keep it basic use those Diamond Tweaks, start your device off right with Schaps Advanced Configuration tool (www.touchxperience.com) and TF3D Config, maybe Diamond Tweak (a program called that, searchsearchsearch) as well. To get a registry editor you can also go to touchxperience.com, you'll need that for most of the tweaks. Now go, go, go!
Thanks for the answers.
I have decided to flash the Rom cause I wanted to get the best out of the phone.
I come across this guide on flashing: http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26
And this for list of Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=413910
The problem I have now is that I don't know which Rom is the best to flash into. And whats the difference between Offical and Cooker rom (Which is better)?
Again, thanks for answering. I appreciate it.
each person have different prefrenses and use their pda's for different things
which is why there are more then one rom called superrom which everybody use
so it is kinda hard to answer the question which one is best for you
trying various is most likely the best path

Yeah there is alot of them. =/
I'll try them out.
But can you tell me if the cooker ones are better than the offical ones ?
And is this the official English Rom: RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2 ?
Thx !

...better? They are newer; look: Just like in Windows XP Microsoft also generates new builds of windows mobile. Also HTC does this with his own applications. The cookers always takes the newest builtds and gave us the great roms!
ok?
Just look at it like this, cooked roms are customized by people on here that want better performance, the official roms are what HTC puts out to try and make it work for everyone. If you find a cooked rom that works for your needs, it's likely to be better because it doesn't include all of the stuff that doesn't interest you. Better yet, you could cook your own rom if you really want to, look for a tutorial on it. Not incredibly difficult, just takes some time to learn. (This is my perception of it, I've never cooked a rom myself but it doesn't seem so impossible)
Thank you guys, I chose the SwiftBL for the Rom since it have just what I need and much more.
But I have another question about the Radio Rom. I have the Radio version 1.00.25.03 and I wanted to ask do I need to update/change it ? If it's not necessary, can I skip this step and just update my Rom and not the Radio ?
Thx !

read!?! nobody told me i was suppose to read before trying to flash my phone for the first time?!! jk
yeah, just look around at the different tutorial on here, and it should help you to better understand it. I just got my diamond last week, and i can't believe how much i can change on this phone compared to my old S60 v3 phone...
I wouldn't change the radio unless you have issues with reception... But that's me, I'm very conservative compared to most on here when it comes to flashing/changing major aspects of the phone.
I have completed the flashing the Rom and Radio on my Diamond and thank god it didn't brick.
Everything is done now so thank you guys very much for everything.

well, most of what you ask is in the sticky section of this thread, but ok, here goes...
hard spl
micro sd method
custom ruu method
I guess that's similar to most HTC devices, though I'm lacking experience there
I prefer valkyrie leo rom (wm 6.5.3, manila 2.5), new UI style (Builds 280**), maybe a little more stable are the old UI style ones (Builds 218**)
about NRGZ roms I don't have to tell you, seeing your signature...
can't give advice on wm6.1 roms though, sorry, as I only use the wm6.5 ones
Radio: I think it best to try different ones, as for me higher versions seem to drain more battery without really improving signal quality, you see in my signature what I finally settled for
but again: that's an individual (geographical) question that in the end only you can answer
hope that helped some

Yes thank you for the Info like i say i know that everything is writen in the forum but better to ask befor to mess something.
So i will flash the X1 but i never have expirience with ROMs for X1 for that reason i prefer something close up to the default stock ROM but to be Fast and Stable i don`t mind if the ROM is WM6.1 also the guy with the X1 is not so...... technical and maybe will be easy for him to not have so big change in the phone the reason to wana flash his phone is because is really very very slow and crash often frize and etc..
So you told me already with ROM u use but its a new Build with the 2.5 Manila and always the old Windows build etc will be light of memory usage and faster stable.. im just looking for one Fast Stable ROM no matter from the Build etc
Thank you
What about this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=475482
I mean if i want to install this official Rom`s do i need to the same procedure? or its something diferent

read that Touch X 10.1 (smaberg) and 10.8.* (MrRusch) have good voting
also Phoenix rom (Oobly) is reported to be very fast, all Wm6.1, check them as a start, until further feedback arrives
and im totally helpless, there's so much to install and things you can do with this mobile. i ordered a used one, wich already got flashed with another rom and stuff. is this bad? can i recover the original files? is it a good choice to do so, if its possible?
whats the "best" and by that i mean the best working firmware for this mobile?
or the most up to date?
why sould i use the android system if i could use the htc one?
pros/cons?
i have absolutly no idea whats good and whats not.
are there any comparsions online, any newbie threads to read?
there are so many tweaks and roms and fixxed and all the stuff i have no odea what its for.
can anyone help me?
Well, you cant go wrong with the official Sony Ericsson rom which came with the phone R3A is the latest one. But if you want Windows Mobile 6.5 then flash a custom rom, there are many to choose from in the custom rom section. I cant comment on android on the device because i havent tried it but i'm sure there are a few issues and bugs.
Personally i tried many custom roms but all of them had mini problems which made them bad so the one that worked best for me was the stock one which you can find in the rom section also
I would flash the May 6 ROM from Williyung as a good starting point. It's a completely stable and bug-less 6.5.5 ROM, about as updates as you can get.
826x.blogspot.com
Scroll down to the May 6 ROM
thank you both for the very useful answers.
i think ill wait until i can see the official one,
and after that ill choose if i stay with the regular one or the Williyung version.

What you're going to want to do if you want a STABLE device (free of eye candy) is make sure and stay with a 6.1 rom (official or otherwise).
6.5 has no real advantages that SPB Mobile Shell cant add while keeping your device stable.
(that being said I'm currently running an Energy Rom with 6.5)
826x clean 6.5.5 ROMs by Williyung are 100% stable. I have NEVER had to reset. There are bugless.

If I was to flash my X1 with WinMo 6.5, would this work like straight from the flash? or would I need to edit it to work (or dl someone elses rom?)

not quite sure I understood you here, but let's try
if you flash a custom rom with wm6.5 it works right after flashing, which does not mean you don't have to do some customization (preferences, regional settings, time, date,...)
what do you mean with "dl someone elses rom"?

Sorry for the confusing question, I wrote it in a rush earlier today as I'd just bricked my Xperia and was unbricking it (I had just tried a 6.5WM build I'd cooked a tad.) I was just wondering, is it more likely I'd accidently removed something I SHOULDN'T have, or that possibly, it just might not be compatible? And by dl(download) I mean't should I just consign myself to being a newb at rom cooking and be lazy and download someone else's ROM
P.s. I actually have an extremely lightweight, slightly upgraded 6.1WM rom i've cooked myself quite speedy and light if I do say so myself

hm, definitely one for the chefs, if no one here notices your q I can only point to and advice on visiting/consulting Chef Central
and the rest you have to answer for yourself: flashing other chefs rom is easier, cooking your own will probably match your needs better
you will already have notice that out there also very light versions are available
Can you put a list up on what you in- and excluded in the ROM?
What ROM did you use as base?
Did you use wm6.1 or 6.5, and if you use 6.5 did you use 6.5 kernel?
Did you add 3rd party addons in the ROM?
