Newb Guide to flashing? - HD7 General

Hey all... I think this forum needs a thorough explanation of what the term "Flashing" is...
For those who have no idea what this means... have no idea why anyone would want to do it. Differences between a phone that is flashed and one that isn't... What is NoDo... Radio?,
What exactly does this mean?
[NoDo ROM]HD7_TMOUS_2.20.841.02_Radio_5.65.09.11a_22.44.50.1 5_NoDo, by ansar
and this one?
[ROM]RUU_Schubert_O2_UK_3.04.206.01_Radio_5.66.09.21a_2 2.48.50.21_Signed

yes...i have those questions too...tell us...

those are ROMS you can flash on your device...
NoDo is a software update that Microsoft released for WP7...
if you pay close attention, you'll see that there are specific ROMs for each Operator (T-Mobile, O2....) so you should flash only the one's that matches your phone.
You can also flash an unbranded ROM but in order to do that, you need to bypass the ROM's CID verification... visit Goldcard's thread and learn more about that procedure...

You might be posting this in the wrong section of your brain The guys n gals on the board are generally a happy and helpful bunch, but we always prefer for you to make an effort, even the most feable attempt at failure, before asking questions asked a septendecillion times before.
Have a look at the index page, and you can probably match your device to a picture of your phone. Read the rules on the board (posted in the General thread). And please read everything you can on the wiki, or even google for it.
Basically, the radio rom is the bit that does the radio bit of your phone - communicating with the phone (which is basically a "radio"). You shouldn't need to upgrade the radio part of the phone if you're having no problems.
Upgrading the OS part of the phone will give you new software etc. But the radio is normally fine unless you specifically know that there's a better version around.
But read first, ask questions later.

Well, apparently there is no way to tell if your phone is CID unlocked just by looking at it. you can check out the thread about unlocking your device that-s in this forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
and do it. it doesn't hurt, and then you can be sure you have an unlocked device.
then you can flash any wizard ROM you like (provided you do have a Wizard, of course )
enjoy!
Yea just follow the guide. its pretty easy.
ok one last thing....my IPL and SPL are both currently 1.05....so do i need to downgrade first or can i just flash a new ROM straight away ?
anyone ???

Ok, well, there is no telling what the BEST software is, just read through the forums, alot of people offer there own versions of the updates, and decide which on is safest for you to update with and stuff...

What is the build number of this ROM?

20757.1.4.0
Just a question: why don't you just put all roms in one topic instead of making new topics for different languages? It makes it easier for us to keep following the topics posted.
1. This is the ROM that I have running, if something goes wrong with my phone (software wise and hard reset doesn't work) would I be able to fix it using this ROM without having to use HSPL etc?
2. Can I upgrade to another shipped ROM without HSPL, ie 1.19xxxx?
Many thanks.

is it possible to find the rom that you have in your HD?
i can't find it anywhere....
Dimitris
thanks...........................
This post is very useful.Thank you very much for this link.But I think moderators should collect these custom ROMs and put them together,finally.
Every single ROM has its own thread.I think this is complicated,both for users who want to download and for users who want to upload.Also it is very confusing,to search the entire forum just to find a specific ROM.
Anyway,thanks a lot dear friend.
Best regards
Alexander.

What is the diff. bet. ROM biulds.?
Gday,
i have flashed my HD with this rom, but I think it is labelled wrong.
It seems this ROM is UK Orange Rom as several times, the default website goes to HTC UK and several times I have had data errors stating this data connection can only work on Orange.
Are there the standard HTC roms around (which I thought this was).
Any other users seen this?

iPhone Power User to Android Noob: Few Questions...

Sorry I'm a little noobish when it comes to Androids (trying to come over from an iPhone).
I understand rooting. But... Can you tell me advantages/disadvantages of all these ROMS? Do some have the latest radio firwmare and some don't? I thought I read I could also modify these ROMs as well. I would appreciate some insight. Thanks

You can do anything. If you read the forums you will learn a lot more than any 1 person here could ever teach you in one post. Happy reading.
P.s. posts like this are frowned upon around where when you could have searched.
ROMs are just modified versions of the standard firmware the developers that make them bundle certain apps with them and make some slight changes. IIRC they are all rooted.
I think the radio firmware can be updated seperatly as i downloaded the HTC radio directly from the HTC website.
There is a thread here that tries to chart the differences between builds (the name "rom" is kind of a misnomer).
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517506
Also, for community ("hacked"/"rooted") builds, they generally don't include the radio. You would update the radio and bootloader separately. The official builds tend to include radio and or bootloader updates.

This should help you out with any information on Firmwares, its alot better then a stupid chart.
Just do yourself a favor.. Do not Flash before you read the entire thread. Because you may find your new G1 is a brick.
If you want something or want to upgrade SPL or Recovery or Rom Make sure you competely read the thread you may find that other users that have previously flashed that particular item will give feedback.

that link also links to the same "stupid" chart. btw that chart is great for deciding which build suits your needs the best
I was sorta kindling.....
My thread has all the information and MORE. The chart is helpful but you can't get any helpful links with it. My thread has information/my thoughts/ and updates on how to find the newest firmware.

Understanding of ROM and Radio [Help!]

hey guys,
i have a htc touch diamond and have never updated any of the phones software and was wondering what would be the best rom and radio updates to get on my phone and how do i go round trying to change it?
currently my phone has:
ROM version: 1.37.405.1 WWE
Rom date: 06/12/2008
if someone could please help me out understanding what i should do and how i can update it to the best versions i would really appreciate it.
thank you.
Read all the threads and don't ask which ROM is the best and stuff like that!! Each person's choice might be different from yours. Take some time to go through all the STICKY's . Thats how everyone learns.
