Ok so after extensive search on this wonderful site ive found more then enough helpful hints/tricks and not to mention cab files and programs that are just incredible for my Wing...attached is a screen shot...ok so the only issue i have is of course speed, i have been endlessly searching for a stable rom without any bugs and a sharp look (like the touchit lg menu one) and on top of that i have read to 'how tos' on flashing a new rom and still have no clue how to do it....its obvious the original tmobile rom is the slowest and lags...is there anyone who can recommend a rom and help with the step by step preocess??? what is the first step and when i do flash to the new rom will i lose everything i currently have on the device now...? i know newbie questions, sorry...thanks for the help in advance
I reccommend you use one of ITJE's Touch IT roms. The latest touch it Rom is 4.4, but it isn't 100% compatible with the Wing, so I'd reccommend you try the Touch IT 2.3
touchIt roms don't always flash right for people. Use opentouch or pdaviet rom.
Hi Guys
Ive done a search but cant find anything specific so im starting a a new thread.
I have a Touch HD which I got through Orange UK.
Rom version sis: 1.19.61.1 WWE
At the moment im told that I cant receive any updates directly from the HTC site and orange dont really seem to care about offering a good after service.
So my option is to flash my phone with a new ROM, however which version to go for is my biggest question and I really dont have any idea. I understand the flash proceure. WIll any ROM allow updates from HTC site?
Thanks
Craig
hi
i also have a uk branded orange touch hd
i flashed it with the latest official rom from htc (the one that needs a serial number to download and the orange serials dont work)
just use a serial provided in the offical rom upgrade thread to download the rom from htc and use uspl 2.5 to flash it
i used uspl 2.5 to upgrade the rom
all info can be found using the search fuction on this forum
i also made a dump of the phone before i flashed it, just need someone to rebuild the .raw files to a flashable rom
hope this helps
math
Nice one Math, that helps a lot! Will give this a go over the weekend.

Ok, where do we start? Which ROM you choose is really a bit like asking what car should I choose to buy. The choice is entirely yours based on what you want and what you like.
I think the first question to ask yourself is what do you want? What Windows Mobile OS do you want? WM6.1, WM 6.1 with Touch flow, WM 6.1 with the latest version of Touch flow or WM 6.5 Beta. I'm sure there are more but lets keep it simple.
WM 6.1 or 6.5? HTC Touch Flow or not? What is your native language as you have nothing set in your profile etc?
May I suggest you have a look through the first few posts of each of the ROM threads for this month and see what takes your fancy. If you ask ten people you will get ten possibly different answers.
Look at peoples signatures and see what most people use as most display what current ROM they are using. Maybe try a few, but I suggest use the safest route and follow the instructions to the letter.
Its always a matter of personal opinion but I like Duttys current WM6.1 with TF3D XT3. It's the latest and well tested with fewer bugs than the stock ROM from HTC (IMHO) and is based on the latest technology from the next gen HTC phones.
Do your research and enjoy!

Yes, the choose is your, but as an Orange user myself. I was bored with the official HTC Orange Rom and decided to flash my rom. Did manage to keep the back up on original rom in cause of warranty reason. I have try quite a lot of cook rom the only problem I had was mainly with battery life wasn’t good and will not last for a day or so. Since with this rom, HD|ROM||WWE|| ** EnergyROM HD Series 21042 - Final Topaz Manila ** || Build 40909 || man!! The software and battery life is incredible. Yes I would recommend to you

where did u get this rom from? link?
couple of newbie questions. I also have orange phone ...
If I upgrade to the latest HTC rom will I loose all my programs installed in the phones memory?
Will I loose my programs/they stop working (e.g. Tomtom) that have been reigstered with the phone (in add/remove programs) on my memory card?
Can I restore everything from a backup (sprite) ?
Is there any way of goign back to the older ROM if I need to send my phone back for warranty reasons?
Thanks
James

yes you will lose all programs, have to be installed again
if you take backup from your current ROM you can restore it later

Thanks for info. Just to clarify a couple of things..
Will my sprite backup restore all programs and settings to the new rom version?
How can I backup my existing ROM? I'm guessing the official ROM is a HSPL?
Thanks

USPL and HSPL these are different method of putting new ROM to your phone.
you will find more information in here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone_Flash1
with this method you can get a backup of your current ROM

Thanks again. I never thought it would be so complicated. I thougth someone would have created a GUI for this stuff, its amazing what they have GUI's for these days and this is still command line.
Still unsure as to wether I can restore my sprite back up after going to 1.56 rom though. With the amount I have installed its probably not worth the effort for now.
hi..i dont know anything about rom upgrading so my question might b a noob one..my question is that can i install a WM6.5 ROM on my diamond?..currently i have WM6.1 installed on my phone.If the answer is no can someone pl tell me how can i install WM6.5 on my phone?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Diamond
guide how one flash roms
unless otherwise stated all roms are flashed the same way
hey thanks for ur help..i understood the procedure for upgrading the ROM,but it stil doesnt answer my question.Can i install a WM6.5 ROM on my WM6.1 diamond?
Yes you can.
Flashing a 6.5 rom is just like flashing a 6.1 rom. All you have to do is find the rom that best suits your needs (easier said than done). I've flashed my phone many many times (warning, it becomes addictive).
As a matter of fact I assume that most diamond owners on this forum are already running winmo 6.5.
Check out the rom section of this forum.
hey thanks a lot..thats what i wanted to know.ya m already getting addicted choosing a good ROM)
im looking for the latest WM6.5 ROM for my X1 that is updated and stable...i went through a thread by "888" but he last said he wont provide supports for it anymore...so pls advice or supply with a link.
Thanx in advance i did search the forum already, i Rooted my X10 and changed the ROM and so i want to do the same for my X1
I LOVE THIS FORUM...im addicted

Hello,
Although I had hd2(t-mobile) for a while, did not have time to play around and lived on first shipped rom! Now that I have upgraded to current version by t-mobile, I have found few issues and want to cook my own version.
Issues:
FlashLight lost its brightness in all three modes.
No google maps 4.1
Remove all t-mobile crap
Audiobooster is not effective as the previous one
These are just to name a few.
Thus far I did not install any SPL and dont know which one to and confused on all of the information. I have cooked before therefore confident in the process and just need some help with tools. Which kitchen is best?
Finally, which SPL should I install and where do I find HTC updated apps and registry tweaks?
Many thanks inadvance for all the help.
Update:
I have installed HSPL now.
Any info on the Kitchen guys?
I just want to take the first shipped rom and copy some of the applications and use them in the current OEM rom and cook.
