WM6 info in the Wiki, please contribute

Hi
I've collected some information about WM6 and put it in the Wiki. Please start directing people with questions to the Wiki instead of repeating that you have to format your SD card to FAT32 to upgrade rom the 15th time. Right now there are some basic information about the available ROMs (with links to download and the appropriate thread), a small FAQ, a known bugs list, and a short upgrade walkthrough.
Contributions are very, very welcome.
Thanks,
KTamas

The first time I installed the ROM

I am the first time I install ROM on the device ((htc hd)) Is there a particular method or program to download it If im install the new rom can re-Roman origin of the device and in what way, And what is the way Roman install i must unpack the protection of the device I hope that the method is complete and well illustrated, thank you
Sticky, Wiki, read and search! There's no need for such demanding post! direct your questions in the right sections politely and someone might help you, but like this is terribly rude!
I'm not sure if you intended it this way, but having large text comes across as rude as it looks like your shouting.
However, your query has been asked many times before. All you needed to do was follow the forum rules, read the wiki & use the search function.
Guide to flashing/upgrading roms can be found here.
Any further queries on flashing should be posted in dummies guide thread.

Flashing a new ROM ... for dummies

I know there's a bunch of threads out there on the different cooked ROMs that are available. Being a noobie to this, I was looking for any insight how to go about flashing my very first cooked ROM. I have a Tilt2 that I purchased a little over a month ago with a couple tweeks I mustered up enough confidence to do: crud scraper and some registry edits via rescoe editor. Flashing a ROM seems like there's a whole lot more involved and with my limited knowledge may wind up rendering my phone inoperable for life with one or three missed steps.
Any insights as to the necessary steps .... in a step by step manner preferably .... would be very much appreciated!
There's a whole step-by-step guide in the sticky thread at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
If you're not clear anything, then post up your questions over there, and I'm sure someone will help.
As already stated read the stickys and post in pre existing threads.
On that note thread closed.

the first step is to learn how to read the dozens of threads already open about this exact subject
here's install instructions for Cezar's Continuum rom:
http://www.team-continuum.net/home/index.php?topic=17.0
you may need to create a profile on that forum in order to view that thread (not sure)
however - generally speaking, most devs post up a how-to in their own ROM thread so you should be able to follow their's specifically
Search and research
While you're reading, make 10000000000% sure that you read this sentence:
WHEN FLASHING 2.3 YOU ARE FLASHING BOOTLOADERS. THERE IS A VERY REAL RISK OF HARD BRICKING YOUR PHONE. MAKE SURE YOU COMPLETELY UNDERSTAND WHAT YOU ARE DOING AND FOLLOW DIRECTIONS TO THE LETTER.
Happy upgrading.
Please search before opening a new thread.

ROM cm 12 nightlies. Q and A

Post questions and troubleshooting.
http://download.cyanogenmod.org/?device=mb886
Motorola atrix HD mb886
Not to be a hater, but if this is a Q&A thread it belongs in either the Q&A or General, not Development.
From http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1805891
BEFORE POSTING ANY THREAD IN THE DEVELOPMENT SECTION, PLEASE READ THE FOLLOWING:
If you have developed a ROM/Kernel/Device Hack/Mod, or are working with others to do so, the development forum is somewhere to discuss and share ideas, post useful feedback and logs or crash dumps, and to discuss a common goal developers are trying to achieve.
It is NOT the place to post your question because it gets higher traffic, or because more experienced users frequent it. Doing this just annoys those who are working on the device, and drives them away. Developers don't want to wade through 20 threads of "Help me urgently" to find their threads for porting and fixing camera issues etc. Similarly, if a thread is designated as discussion for developers say, porting a camera fix, please do not post in there asking "When will it be ready?", "Can I flash this yet?" etc. This is both completely disrespectful to those working on the project (you evidently haven't read the important posts in the thread), and also is making it harder for developers to find comments from other developers or testers when required.
Similarly, don't make loads of "Thanks for your work here" posts in an active development thread. It's just as annoying to developers as asking when something will be ready. If a ROM is complete, then go ahead and thank the developer if you wish, but don't go into threads for devs only, and interrupt it to post "thanks". It's basically spamming, and is treated as such.
If you are posting in development, you should have read every sticky and notice there, and should be actively developing or helping in the development of something. Developing isn't installing a ROM, or using a tweak, it's creating a ROM or other hack or tweak. If you haven't read for several days before starting out on XDA, you are likely about to ask something already solved. I registered on XDA when I first wanted to post, and that was to join in a discussion on something. Sure, join up and ask a question, but read the information available in General and Q&A first, as your question will have been asked before. Search is your friend here, become familiar with it.
Regarding when to post in development if you are not actually developing something, there is one occasion where it's acceptable. If you find a leak of a new ROM, which isn't already posted, and you verify it's legitimacy via either running it, or based on the source you obtained it from, then this is assisting in development, and should be posted in development. If you want to ask when a leak will be available use search first, then if not already in discussion, open a thread in general or Q&A.
If you have a problem flashing a ROM, this is NOT related to development. It's up to you to determine if it is specific to a particular ROM, and post useful information in that developer's existing thread for the ROM. If it happens on more than one ROM, and isn't a known issue (remember you should read several times more words than you post), then find out what you are doing wrong. Check guides written by others, try to repeat the problem and see if it happens every time. Something needs to be reproducible to be fixed effectively.
Once you have identified what you need help with go to the device Q&A forum (general if device lacks one), and make a clear, informative thread that explains the issue, and what you have tried doing to fix it. Did you re-download the ROM? Did you ask a friend to flash it for you, to reduce chance of user error? What steps (exactly) did you follow? What errors did you see (exact wording)? Did you double check all the steps? Did you do a wipe or hard reset?
If you make a clear, concise, yet detailed post, you will find help forthcoming, and should get the problem sorted very quickly. If someone suggests you try something, report back on what happened, did it work etc. Then, next time someone has this issue and searches, they will find this and have a verified and tested solution.
So remember... before you start a thread in development, ask yourself what you are developing?... If you can't answer, then stop, step away from the post button, and think about where you are posting. Would it be better in General or Q&A, or is some more time with your best friend, search, required?
