Newbie Question - Please Respond

Hi,
I am tempted to flash a custom ROM onto my Xperia, but before i do that, i have a couple of questions that i hope someone here might be able to answer.
1. Is there a guide available that explains everything step-by-step? I.e. is flashing of ROM the only thing to do? or are there other tasks required like flashing SPL or something like that? (I literally have no idea what SPL and similar terms mean either)
2. If after having played with a custom ROM, i plan to revert back to the original stock ROM and settings... is that possible?
Best Regards.

[Q] How to switch back to Stock-Rom?

Hello Guys,
i want to sell my Incredible S and now its my turn to flash it back to the original HTC-Stock Rom. Till now i used the Android Revolution Rom with a EXT4 Clockwork / Recovery Mode . The Incredible was bought in Germany so the Languange of the Stock-Rom should be German or Multilanguange.
I allready checked this Thread :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1033922
but i dont know which of those roms is the one iam looking for nor how to flash it back. Do i simply use a RUU-Installer or do i flash it like i did with the custom rom?
Thank you for your help!

You can just flash the RUU. I managed to get my phone back to stock that way. Others needed an extra step, changing the hboot first. I did not. But use the search function. This question is already asked and answered many times now...
Use the WWE variant...

Hello wallytax,
thank you much for your answer. I realy tried the search-function but i was not able to find a helpfull thread about my question. Sorry about that.
So this one would make it :
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.12.405.7_Radio_20 .2804.30.085AU_3805.04.03.22_M_release_187295_sign ed
?
As much as i understand "WWE" means "World Wide English". Is this also Multilanguange (for german)?
Others needed an extra step, changing the hboot first

Yes the WWE ROM is also multi-language with German.

I used this one:
RUU_Vivo_Gingerbread_S_HTC_WWE_2.30.405.1_Radio_20 .2808.30.085AU_3805.06.03.03_M_release_199308_sign ed
This is the newest Stock rom... Good luck! Hope you will succeed..

Hi Guys,
i tried the RUU-Installer wallytax mentioned. It worked like a charm!
i just had to install HTC-Sync Software and after that the Update went trough without any problem.
Thank you very much!

Make sure your phone is s-on before you sell it.

[Q] XSPL and ROMs

Here is a Noob question:
What ROMs work best with XSPL?
I ask because I see a few that interest me but don't want to brick my unit doing something stupid.

here.

Thanks for the reply, but I was looking to find which custom ROM was most popular with regard to features and stability. As I said, don't want to bake a brick (got enough of those already).

welcome.
and the most popular, going by view count, Custom ROMs would be:
Touch-It
Deepshining
Freedom

I have another related question-
Since I have an HD7s, can I use the following mod:
XBmod ROM 7720 V 1.01 for HTC HD7,Schubert
If so, would I follow the install tutorial?
Has this been tried yet for this model?

yes, you'll be about to flash that ROM onto your HD7S, as long as you have R/HSPL installed.
and yes, you can follow the tutorial i wrote.

[Q] Why should install custom rom for WP7 ???

Dear guys...
I am absolutely new for Window phone, 3 days experience after fed up with Samsung's Omnia long times ago...
So forgive me even my question is tooooooo noop but, trying to find out strong reason to flash custom rom on stock Mango...
Well, I have used Android phone for a long time with flashing every single rom available until no more fun, ..
So I bought HD2 and flashed Mango custom rom and also Android as dual boot. I understand to flash Mango custom rom to WM 6.5 on HD2 as I used terrible WM 6.5 before...
Mango made me soooo exited with totally different concept compare to Android as I already bored with Android...
So decided to stick to Mango phone from now on then again I bought HD7 and I compared side by side with HD2 running on custom Mango rom (as both devices have same spec of hardware..) and I couldn't find out differences between custom rom (on HD2) and stock (on HD7).
Question is,
Why should flash custom rom to HD7 which is already on Mango ?
For Android, there is huge differences between stock and custom rom for the function, speed and UI but what will be the main benefit to flash custom rom for WP7 ?? Just prepare for flash unofficial upgraded version of Mango or WP8 ????
Another question is,
Even flashing custom rom, there is no problem to log in to Marketplace as no problem on stock rom ???
This log in problem is major issue on HD2 custom rom, that's why I decided get HD7 to experience all the function of WP7....
Appreciate your advise and guide in advance,....

first, welcome to the WP7 family.
now, to answer your questions...
allows you to install non-Marketplace applications
numerous tweaks implemented by Custom ROM's chef
latest WP7 versions
etc.
one can still install apps from official Marketplace
that answer your two questions?
