you shouldn't join the forum and immediately post regarding "the best" WM6 ROM and where to get it. if you would browse and search a little you find out that it is not a flash and go kinda of thing. we don't participate in the forum to hand out links to people that will most likely brick their phones do to their lack of research on the matter before hand. also, there is no "best" WM6 ROM...there's plenty of different ROMs out there and they all suit different needs, its just a matter of preference.

I guess you flashing with a OS ROm but not a extended ROM. Therefore you Still have the old extended ROM in Which are the O2 applications.
You need to get empty extended ROM and flash it to your device.
Regards to good WM6, it is up to everyones own opinion which of the ROM are the most suitable one. Currently I am using PDAVIET 2.10.11 and I am happy with it.

From my short experience with these WM6 roms there really isn't one "use this and nothing else" rom. They're all about the same with small differences. I use Laurentius26's latest rom and am quite happy. I don't even use video calls it just that I liked how stable it was to me.
Where can I get an empty extended ROM
Thanks for the help!
Can I be pointed in the right direction to find somewhere I can get and empty extended rom from.
Am I also right in thinking if I have an empty one it will leave more space for me to install programs of my choice.
I am new to all of this but am very keen to learn.
Thanks

I think you can find one in the FTP sites mentioned in the WIKI.
From my understanding having an empty extended rom gives you more space on the device yeah.
I am also confused by the many different OS version for WM6 ROMs. I did a search and this is the closest post I could find that had an appropriate topic but the answers don't really explains the reasons for different OS versions.
Is the latest the best and most stable?
Is there an OS changelist I can view somewhere?
Are the OS versions set by the ROM maker and shared by them?
Are the OS versions set by Microsoft or the device manufacturer that the OS came from?
When I found this thread I thought 'Universal' meant for all devices but I have just noticed that it was for a specific device and as such in a specific forum. I am going to post this question in the general forum...
I'm sure the information is already on these forums, but there is so much to read that I'm not sure where to start and I really need it all in a easy to follow format.
Please can someone put down or link me to info on the following....
I have The Official T-Mobile 6.1 ROM on my phone and this is what I want to do:
1) Extract my 6.1 rom to be reinstated later
2) Get hold of the Official T-Mobile 6.0 ROM
3) Flash my phone back to the Official T-Mobile 6.0 ROM
4) Restore my backup via sprite (this is the only bit I know how to do)
5) Create an upgrade file in Sprite (I can probably figure this out)
6) Flash my phone back to the the Official T-Mobile 6.1 ROM that I extracted in step 1)
7) Restore my backups from 6.0 using the upgrade file I created in step 5)
Thanks in advance for any help/advice
DJ
/edit if this should be in Kaiser general please can someone move it for me. Ta.
Take a look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282, its a sticky on the Kaiser ROM development page.
Um, you should be able to search the forum for this info. I advise you do so as you'll get flamed by the moderators for posting without searching, which is one of the rules. Hope I don't get flamed for this post...
Thanks very much for you post
I still can't find how to extract my ROM, I'd like to post it on the forums because it is the newest one that T-Mobile have in the UK.

Thank´s mate, i was looking for this page a few days....

The OP is a lazy sumabich! You want us to prepare your dinner, draw your bath, and give you a backrub while we do all of the other things you requested. YUK!
I really don't see what you are trying to back up. You are asking for some very complicated things to do as a noob. People here do a lot of moving from rom to rom and using sprite isn't the best tool for this. I don't think sprite will do the job of making a backup from 6.0 to 6.1. Sprite should only be used for the same rom. Restore all your stuff the hard way through cabs and activesync.
Please can someone tell me how to extract the rom that T-Mobile put on my phone so that I can always change it back?
I'm going to cook my own tasty rom from some guides etc rather than going back to WM6.0.
But I want to save my T-Mobile 3.31.110.1 WWE rom before I start.
Thanks

Look first search for the Rom you have on the device now. You should be able to find the Orignial Tmobile Rom. THen just tuck it away. then you need to Hard SPL your phone and security unlock it. Then you need to READ go to the WiKI, Asking for detailed instructions, in the worng place is not a good idea. At this moment think of a Giant pool of hungry Sharks now picture yourself as hanging from a line just over the top of the water. you are now lowering into the water slowly but you are soon to be Someones Lunch. Now Run to the WiKi and read, read ,read...Do you want to be chum! or do you want to learn! everything you need to know is here in this forum, You need to look not ask! and last but not least WELCOME TO THE GROUP!

check out the Dumping your ROM video in this Thread. It should help you accomplish dumping your 6.1 ROM for cooking. The 6.1 ROM should be available from HTC's website (www.htc.com). Instead of switching back to 6.0 just to create an upgrade file (since you insist on using sprite) download and install Sprite 6.2.2. It will allow you to create a backup file of just your personal databases without having to revert back to 6.0 to create an upgrade file. It will also allow you to restore your backup without having Sprite installed on your new ROM. You are trying to make too much work for yourself.
Thanks for the replies
I'm on the HTC site trying to get the rom, but all I can find is HTC TyTn II and not Vario III.
I was under the impression that these devices were essentially the same, BUT I get the following message when I enter my serial number on the site:
"Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device."
I will have to dunp my rom instead I think because it's too new to be online yet, T-Mobile just upgraded it to this one a couple of weeks ago.
Hi, first of all I tell you I'm new in this forum. Afterward I tell you that before posting this thread I read the different FAQs and guides posted hera and I search for my following question but I didn,t find any answer.
I want to change my original ROM that came with my phone but I have few things I want to know before beginning the process. These are:
1- Any ROM will work with my phone? I brought my phone from US and it was unblocked, so I can use it with any SIM from any company here, in Argentina.
The problem is that in the page where all the ROMs are described I don't find my ROM version. My ROM version is 1.82.707.0 WWE and the Radio Version is 1.27.15.32. The protocol version is 22.51.88.13W and the ROM date is 11/03/07. In the Model No it says "Kaiser". The most aproximate version I found in that page is 1.81.707.0 and the Radio associated with it is 1.27.12.11. What I want is to change my ROM to beging using WM6.1 cause the version of my WM is 6.0, but I don't know if I chose any of the ROM that are available or I have to take care of something I don't know.
2- Suposing I can chose any ROM available, is it convenient to use it with the radio that is associated with it or I have to continue using my radio version (1.27.15.32)?
3- If I change the ROM following all the steps that are described in other FAQs or threads, the phone will continue unblocked in order to be useable with any company or it will be blocked for a certain one, for example AT&T? Remember I am in Argentina.
4- How can I do to backup my current ROM and Radio so, if I have any problem I could restore it to my phone? It is supposed that if I do so (restoring the original ROM) the phone will operate as it's doing now, insn't it?
Well, that all for now.
Thanks a lot.
Guido.
My dear friend all the questions you ask have been asked many times and answered many times. I have a hard time believing when you say you have read everything .. because your post makes it obvious you haven't. Nonetheless i'll answer these questions here for you:

Yes "any kaiser rom" will work with your phone. But first you need to get Hardspl than you can flash any rom that is available here to your phone. Looks like you have a wm6 rom and wm6 radio. When you upgrade to wm6.1 you will need a wm6.1 radio. Most roms come with radios so you don't need to worry about this. If a rom doesn't have a radio the cook will specify that and most will often suggest which radios work best with their rom. To see a list of different radios available please check link in my sig for Alltheway's thread on radios.

i already answered this in my above answer. But to reiterate wm6 rom will work with a wm6 radio i.e what you already have; a wm6.1 rom WILL NEED a wm6.1 radio so it won't work with your current radio.

flashing a rom in no way changes the unlocked status of your phone.

umm okay you don't wana do this yourself as i don't think so you know how to. Most of the stock kaiser roms are available in the wiki and have links to download them. In the even that you want to return your phone back to its original rom you can download from kaiser wiki.
Secondly please do extensive reading... your post shows that you really haven't done your homework. A kaiser is a expensive piece of equipment and you definitely don't want to mess it up just because you were lazy and didn't want to first understand exactly what you were doing.
Having said that i wish you good luck and happy flashing.
Thesire...first of all I really appreciate your quick answers tomy questions. I have to confess I didn't think to get an answer so quickly.
Anyway, I have to tell you that I didn't write anywhere I had read "everything" as you say. Of course I didn't, all the time in the universe life would be enough to do it. But you can be sure I followed all the instructions that are posted to do before posting a new thread, and those include reading the FAQ of ROM Developing, seeing the charming video of "what to do before posting a new thread", search my questions, and I tell you I spent all the last thursday looking for any answer to my questions, but I didn,t find them. I am not saying that they are not, of course they may be, but I didn't find them. Perhaps, of course, it's almost sure is because I didn't know how to search. But I did it. I read about the different SPLs that I have to download, the different version of them I have to try if I have for ie. the blank display, etc.
Another thing, when you say that always I can have the posibility to restore my original ROM downloading it, I told that in the thread that appears all the ROMs my actual version is not there. So, I wonder where my ROM is comming from and who cooked it.
At last, but not for that less important, I want to really thank you for your and for the time you spent answering my questions. Just remember I'm a newbie and perhaps, someday I'll be answering a question from you in this theme or another, ie. communications!!! Also remember that for us, the people who don't have the english as our natural languaje, sometimes reading the posts can be a little difficult and can be reading something that is answering our question and don't actually realize it or don't understand it at all.
Thanks.
Guido.

]first of i wanna thank all thoes who post here to assist niggas like me who far behind when it come to tecnology.i reviewed many forms and still dont understand how to do this. i had a behold and broke it puttin software on there so i dont wanna do it to my wing.i always considered myself an intelligent individual but when i started learning about this i felt dumb as homer(the simpsons).i need help. i will donate to whoever can put this in slow terms and help me step by step.i would like to install touch and 6.1 in not 6.5..i still dont know what im talkin about but ive seen the youtube videos an been fasinated with gettin them ever since.please assist me i will greatly appreaicate it u will .i just got my wing monday so i dont know if its even capiable of this upgrade but let me know..
A few notes:
1. This particular sub forum is for developing ROMs. There are two other subforums dedicated to "how-to's."
2. The videos in youtube are old, so you're probably looking at an older ROM, one of Ttra's OpenTouch ROMs, probably.
3. You need to research, learn and understand what SPL and IPL are. Then learn what HardSPL is. Then learn how to flash the Herald HardSPL into your phone assuming that your phone meets the requirements.
4. Follow my walkthrough that I made a long time ago to flash.
thanks
