Custom ROM question for n00b - Hero CDMA Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Hey everyone,
please forgive my ignorance here but I'm new to the Hero, HTC, Sprint and this forum. Wondering if I loaded a custom ROM on my phone, would I be able to convert back to the original sprint image in the future?
Also, do anyone have any ROM recommendations; where to download them? Looking for optimal speed really, if that helps narrow it down.
Thanks in advance

[help] trying to Upgrade ROM 1.40.709.0 on Diamond2

Hi I'm a newbie.
Just wanted to see if I can upgrademy ROM to WM6.5?
I have search a lot and dont' seem to be able to find a thread that I understand.
Been also looking at threads on how to fix my CallerID problem. The HTC support download doesn't support my ROM version.
If someone can help me it'll be great!!

Please READ HERE, that's where all the answers are, and keep in mind that only ROMS made for TOPAZ/Diamond2 can be flashed
Or the saffest way is to go HTCSUPPORT, insert your Serial Number and get the Official ROM to your device, read your Manual also

There are many custom ROMs available here with pics showing how they look on your Phone. There are also many themes in the themes & apps forum. check them out.
BUT BEFORE DOING ANYTHING, verify that you have 3-button combo working. If not don't do anything. You risk bricking your phone. Check out some stickies in the general section.
thanks dude...........

[q] att htc pure help

Hello everybody! I am new here, i just signed up yesterday and this website only lets me post in this general area. Here is the background: I have an ATT HTC PURE phone that I am not using. I want to try and install android on this phone but I do not know how and what to use. Can someone please guide me in regards to this issue? I want to be able to use the phone as an internet device for home use with my home wifi. Any or all help is appreciated! Thank you to everyone who helps!
Have a read here.
I do not think the system has been perfected so read the latest posts to see what bugs there are.
Also may be other ROMs available in the Android section.

Get the phone and slowly you will get familiar to it.
I hope ur talking about the rooted apps here,that would be no problem once u get easy with the handset.
Piracy is not a good thing..developers put in a lot of time and effort in their work,respect it and pay for it.
Rooting n modding is not for Cr****. Rooting is to just get extra privilege on note, for making it more customise your device.
and note, such things(Cra**/Piracy) are banned over XDA
Ok, thanks guys.. thats what i mean, the rooted apps.. But do you guys suggest to me that I should have my phone rooted, once i got my phone? Or is it just ok to leave it as is? Thanks!

The phone's great as is. If you're a newb, like I was when I bought my Note (and probably still am), I'd recommend sticking with stock for a bit until you familiarize yourself with everything your phone can do.
I bought a Note when it released in the beginning of December and I still haven't rooted my phone. Although I'm a little conservative that way.
One thread you might really want to read is the Tips and Tricks thread.
Ok, thanks for the reply again! I guess I'll just have to get one first, explore it, read the forums. Then see what happens then. How about the ROMS?
