Hi everyone.
I started this thread, because i rly wanna try to build my own ROM.
I ll base it to O2 German XDA neo ROM and just remove the useless stuff.
As informatik i think i will manage this, just need any person who tells me how to beginn.
Here are my current questions for beginning:
- ROM includes ext rom also?
- How to "backup" my ROM (cause i want to save and need the files to edit them)
- How about OS Rom? I also need to edit it? (dont think so, only wanted to ask
- Wich tools i ll need to edit the ROM (extract/modify/repack)
- Its a G4 model, i need to unlock it before i can backup the roms? (tried with aWizard without unlock, only ext ROM was backuped)
- What else i need to know!?
Would be really nice, if any person who already made a own ROM could give me some start advise/information. Would prefer a German guy, cause its more complicated in a forgein language, but dont have to. Also it would be really nice if he could communicate over ts2, or jus ICQ/MSN etc to me, cause its just faster as over forum.
If i done, i ll write an enlish+german howto thread about this.
thx to all who wanna help me,

i have my HTC 8125 mobile with WM5 OS.
i didnt unlock my CID yet but I will unlock it later right after if someone answers my important question that always twinkling in my mind.
Upgrading roms for WM5 to WM6 is just like installing a application? ( sorry coz this is my first time to do this.)
currently downloading Xplore1.1 and farias rom. is it alrady overclocked when i installed one of those? do i need to overclock my mobile?
thanks alot!
I would stick with Xlpore's Rom, since you didn't mention that you had a 4g or 3g, since it will work great on both. Just extract those files and run it, simple as that. If i were you i would read up a little on the whole process. nothing like having a $200 brick cause you didn't know what you were doin

Dude, you have a LOT of reading to do before I'd suggest you even start to do this (based on that question alone). No, its not like installing an application. You are installing an entire new OS (Installing, not Upgrading). So when you do this, its going to wipe out everything on your phone (not your SD card, but on your phone's internal memory).
I'd highly advise you to read and understand whats in the Wiki for the wizard. Then read and understand the stickies at the top of this forum and the ones at the top of the Wizard Upgrading forum.
For the sake of your phone, make sure you understand this stuff. Don't just run an executable because it sounds cool. I'm not trying to scare you off or anything, I just want you to understand what you are looking at doing and understand that flashing custom roms isn't the fix to everything.
Understand also that these custom roms are (for the most part) test things. There are bugs, there are quirks, and there are things that flat don't work. Sure, for the most part they give you more power, and a better functioning phone, but for some of the roms that requires tweaking to get it to that point, so you need to understand what is involved (people here will assist, but we won't spoon feed).
Here's an excellent post with TONS of pointers to information (yeah its buried in the XPLore thread. We need to pull this out into the Wiki or make a sticky with this):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1206964&postcount=894
Read and learn before you start flashing. You will save yourself a lot of grief, and may even save the life of your phone.
little scared

You definately need to read the Wiki before you do anything. It gives you step by step instruction and will most definately make flashing your device easier. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM me. Good luck.

Anyone tried to dump full ROM with all tweaks and apps? I'm cooking new ROM, from my dumped original ROM and done almost everything, but for some problems could not include few registry tweaks I did in Kaiser. It would be nice to dump ROM with all that settings and apps, instead of creating new OEM packets. Is it possible? I didn't find any info about that. Anyone?
Have you read the reconstructing ROMs thread? Your question belongs there and your answer may already be there.
In the future, please read the sticky and wiki before posting and reply to existing threads to help keep this forum clean. Thanks!

Thx for your reply m8, but I thought I read almost anything on this forum but didn't find what I was looking for. Don't get me wrong, but I didn't come here yesterday. I never ask questions about anything what I didn't search by myself everywhere, not only at xda-developers, what u can see from my threads.
I cooked many ROMs for Kaiser, and few years before I was at MIO forum and done many customization for A701 ROMs and all that is nothing new to me. I dumped my Kaiser ROM but didn't find solution for dumping full ROM with apps and tweaks.
Call be blind but I couldn't find solution. Sorry for long post but I had to explain the situation.

to dump a full rom including all apps and most tweaks are just reg entries use the IMGFS tools that Taz made its all in the Wiki for the kaiser and also the Hermes since thats where it all started if you want to go oldschool.

Just mentioning that it would be more helpful for everyone else if you were to reply to an existing thread that's already in the wiki and sticky, especially if you have an on topic problem that doesn't have a solution. If/when you find an answer, it will be next to impossible for the next person to find this thread, amongst all the redundant threads of this nature.
So if you want to help others as Austinsnyc has helped you, you can add this thread to the wiki

Of course, when I take the time I will try to dump full ROM and after that all procedure with description I will add to wiki.
Hi guys,
So I downloaded 2 Roms of 6.1 found in this forum (the one from Dr Martin and the one from fireburned)
Now before flashing I have a question about the USPL.
I bought my phone factory unlocked. Do I still need to run that procedure before changing the rom?
Secondly, how do I backup my current ROM? (in case of it going bad)?
Thanks
mystical thing called search function
my recommendation, YES! but if you had used the search, you would had found out the answer yourself.... well, we all where new to this too, but a little bit of interest on the matter is really helpfull if you want to learn about it. asking "already-hunderts-of-time-anwsered" questions is just too lazy.
sorry, if i'm a little rude at you, but in the last time such question where asked just too much... folks, this is a forum, not a hotline!!
for your second question, do a search, and you'll found out why you don't need to backup the rom. if you still want to backup after this, if think, you'll find the answer on how to do it in the wiki...
If there is a SHIP ROM for your carrier, no real reason to backup since you can revert to this.
You will most likely need to use uSPL to temporarily SuperCID your device to allow it to flash any ROM as they are CID-locked. Unlocked simply means it does not have a network/SP lock on it.

I understand, but if it's something that comes up often, maybe the mods should make a static post about it? Thats usually to avoid ppl asking the same questions all the time..
Thanks for your input though
good point about the sticky. or we could add it to the wiki, i'll see what i can do in the next few days, but anyone is invited to contribute too (now i'm gettin' lazy, hihi)

Same situation here and I had to run the USPL proc to get the new ROM onto my device.
Thanks for all the input
I actually followed Dr Matin Gonzo's guide to update to his rom and it worked perfectly,
I even got to backup my old rom (using the wiki + the SDA Unlock tool)

I don't mind helping you, let me know what you need!
I have a queation
I want to update my rom but i dunno how to do
and how can i remver rom HTC oringal plugin etc...
cos xda development software and many update ia coming up
like mainila2D.... my ram start going down not enough memory for me
Question is how can i backup my rom first(in case i can restore)
than how can i update a rom in xda development
OR how can i developemnt by myself
I will take it easy on you but a lot of ppl won't.. hope you got thick skin..LOL
They will tell you to read first. But since you ask a "stupid" question you cannot ask "how you can develop your own rom" ...
First of all you should say which country you from... Usually ppl/chef have had extracted the rom before so in the event that you want to install original rom you can downloaded from here.
Second. if you want to install a rom, read the stickies.

I am use a tytn II OS 5.2.1620 Build 18124.4.2
rom version 1.56.721.3
radio ver 1.27.12.11
i am in hong Kong
The Backup question has been asked to death, I suggest you search and read some of the other thread where people have asked the same question.
Information on ROM flashing and Cooking is in the Wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/wiki/HTC_Kaiser.
Please take time to read the information, it will have most of the answers to your questions.
Thanks
Dave
When you dump your rom and try to reconstruct it using the guide available the resulting nbh won't contain the original splash screen or anything else from the rom, just the customised rom from your manufacturer. I've checked quite a few reconstructed roms and they only contain os.nb.
Can someone tell me otherwise?
i did a hardspl and i am using microlabs newest rom and despite what everyone else says its really glitchy and has frozen up soo many times on me and i wanna just use ivanmmj's justme clean rom and install touchflo 2d (if there is even a way to do that). anyway do i need to go back to an orginal tmobile rom or can i just flash another rom over the microlab one? sorry i just dont wanna brick my fone
You can flash over it. Just remember: JustMe requires that you flash through an SD card formatted as FAT32.
Also, installing TouchFLO2D is possible on ANY ROM. (TouchFLO2D itself is VERY buggy, though.)
On a different note: You may get a warning from the MOD for posting this here. Please remember that the Development subforum is to talk about Developing ROMs. Normally, you'd want to post in one of the other Herald subforums.
thx alot but also under the subforum has a description that says rom issues as well as rom development thats why i posted here, sorry if its in the wrong place and again thx for the help
hehe I always thought about stating that but never did
