Noob upgrading to WM6, need help - JASJAR, XDA Exec, MDA Pro ROM Development

Sup,
I posted something like this before but got no responses. I was wondering which would be the best WM6 rom for me.
I am pretty sure it is unlocked as I am using a T-Mo US sim.
My current setup is- (WM5 original came with phone)
ROM version: 1.13.64 WWE
ROM date: 09/30/05
Radio version: 1.03.00
Protocol version: 42.36.P8
ExtROM version: 1.13.151 WWE
Some of the stuff I would like is:
Stability
T-Mobile US GPRS capable
Smart dial?
No WiFi problems (I use WEP encryption)
No Bluetooth problems
SDHC
Good storage space and RAM
VGA and QVGA games to work
MMS
Works with Bluetooth GPS (Holux 240)
Looks good on a VGA screen
Stereo A2DP - not that necessary
VGA - not that necessary
Don't need video calling or 3g
Don't need VOIP
I have seen the various ones and there are too many that I cannot decide.
And can anyone recommend updates to the radio rom or is that included?
If I backup my WM5, can I restore in WM6? Does backing up backup games, programs, etc?
Thanks all for your help and thanks for such an awesome forum.

Many questions you have
All of us have been there. Unfortunately there are no BEST Rom's. You need to try them out, All of the latest builds have great stability and features (Cooker dependant). Daily there are new patches being released that make them even more stable and functional. Try ALL of them (It is pretty easy to flash the rom, and decide it for yourself!

lol ok, any recommendations?

Hi,
Do you happen to know how old that ROM is? Nov 5th 07? And should I get the Full Flavor? I don't need the RGU right? Going to download anyway but wait for responses.
Thanks Wout.

Hi,
Core is older, cooked version is something like 5/11.
and indeed get full flavor, because it has been updated (some bug fixes)
Read the wiki and also flash another radiorom (1.03 is quite old).
use 1.15 or 1.18 (you can find links to them in the wiki)
you don't need the RGU.
just try whichever wm6 rom and see if you like it.
(I change at least twice a week)
Wout

lol, twice a week? Nicee
Alright, I'm prepping for flashing, backing up all the stuff and whatnot. Just got to get ActiveSync to work properly, keeps going to guest.
Thanks a lot for your help, generousity and quick responses.

update:
radio upgraded to 1.15
waiting for battery to charge to full and start os upgrade

Sup,
Updated the OS to WM6. But a little problem though. I restored my Sprite Backup, that I used to backup WM5 settings/programs, to ROM and now Calculator and Pictures & Videos no longer have icons, they just have white boxes. When I click calculator, I get an error saying it cannot be opened. Pics and vids goes to the location, but it doesn't have the icon.
Does anyone know how to fix these???
Also, I have doubled icons for Excel, Word, and PowerPoint. There's icons in the main programs place and they have their own folder called Office which has a couple of other stuff in it.
Any solution for this to?
Also, my right softkey (contacts) is set to PocketCM, which I uninstalled. I don't know how to change it to regular contacts. I also removed SPB Pocket Plus.
I have 22.22 storage used and 21.50 free.
On boot I have 24~25 free, after use and back to everything closed, 19~20.
Is this good?
Thanks again and sorry for all the questions.

hi,
Never use a backupprogr. when flashing a new rom, mainly because of different registry settings.
Softkey can be changed in registry or with 3rth party software.
Memory going to 19/20 mb is normal.
So, do a hard reset.
(because now you registry is screwed up)
greetings,
Wout

Hello again,
I looked online and people were saying to use a backup program and one person reccommended Sprite Backup. So I used that and now this happened. Learn something new everyday. I'll keep that in mind next time. So I guess I have to reinstall all my programs again, even the ones on my mem card?
Thanks for your help.
PS, I got an error after hard resetting saying sddaemon.exe cannot be opened, either it is not signed with a trusted certificate. I hit OK and it appears to work normally.
PPS, Looks like I have to reflash the ROM,
three programs: clearvue, midilet, voice speed dial, are all not working. Along with the sddaemon error, looks like thats the wise thing to do.
PPPS, ROM reinstalled, seems to be working 100%, starting from scratch now.
Thanks all for your input!

Contacts Back up cab

I'm currently using the MB rom and am thinking of going back to Excelins rom, does any one have the cab for contacts backup?
all of the WM6 roms seem to have a huge memory leak throughout the day. I have to soft reset every day, where I almost never had to with Execlins rom.
Thanks,
Mike

This has been posted numerous times. Please search. There is a thread in the Wizard Upgrading forum that is on the best freeware and I think its in that one. There is a thread in the Wizard forum on the must have software and I think its in that one. Search for my posts (but there are a ton) as I've posted it fairly recently here. I'd post it now but for some reason I'm getting an error trying to upload it, so just search.
Still looking for cab file
Thanks, but I've searched many time before posting. I've been on the forum a while and have only 4 post since I ususally find everything in threads. I found cabs for other back up programs but an looking for the one included in Faria and MB roms.
If any one can post a link or upload the cab.

I read these forums constantly, over the last year or so, they have been a huge help...you all have been a huge help. When I first started with XDA, I was most definitely a noob when it came to flashing phones...now I'm cooking my own ext_roms and working on my first full ROM.
I can't believe that I'm the only one not having all of these issues that so many have reported with WM6. I'm running Faria's WM6 (The Real Thing) with the 2.61.11 radio and after making a few reg changes (power saving, gprs performance, etc.), my MDA is more stable and faster than it ever was running any WM5 ROM. In fact, the only bug I seem to have remaining on my phone now is if I soft-reset while connected to a USB charger, it hangs on restart. Other than that, all is well.
I can go two days now before I need to recharge...by the end of the second day, I'm at about 20% remaining on my battery. My GPRS is always on as I have push email enabled. I am always surfing the net and/or streaming music and/or utilizing yahoo maps or dexonline. On average, I receive between 25 and 60 emails and between 20 and 40 five minute calls per day. I don't use Bluetooth or WiFi much, so maybe that's why my battery lasts so long?
Thanx.

Some issues I have that promted me to thinkabout going back
With xelencin and even Molskis 3.3AKU rom I didnt have these probelms to this extent. Some of the issues that I've had are:
Memeory drain. At the begining of a soft rest 25.7M free. By the end of the day after closing all apps- 18.2M. With xelencin and even Molskis 3.3AKU rom I didnt have this kind of drain after one day of use.
Lag in Apps opening and switching with multiple programs open.
Battery drain even with the HTC power management cab installed. With Wifi on for half a day, battery doesnt last a full day.
These are jsut some of the items that have me thinking of going back to WM5. I like all the apps and features included with the newest WM6 roms, so I would like to try to incorporate them into xelencin last rom.
With that said, ALL the COOKs of WM6 roms have done a great job. I appriciate all the options that they have given us to try.

Here you go guys, this one will copy the app to the windows directory then create an Icon in the Start Menu\Programs folder. All youll ever need and its the updated version.
Does it save contact photo also?

Packed-Pandora "Fully-Loaded" Rom

First of all, I'd like to acknowledge the excellent job that mattk_r and nottoosmart did in creating the base Pandora rom and kitchen on which this work is based.
I imported their stuff into my Rom-Packer kitchen, made a few minor tweaks, compressed a few packages, and wanted to see how much I could get into a single build. I was pleased to find that I could get in everything I wanted (and a bit more!).
My target audience here are folks who just want a rom that does it all, and quickly. This is in the style of Faira's roms, in that it is packed full. It has all the base WM6 apps: Transcriber, Enterprise, Entertainment, WindowsLive, WindowsLive Search, Office 2007 (includes Onenote Mobile), VoIP, SqlCeMobile, MediaOS (Windows Media Player), Camera. I have left out/removed error reporting, autoupdate, and sqm. All of which make no sense for a custom rom, and are in my opinion accidents waiting to happen. Catalog I left out just because its a shopping portal, and I imagine you can just visit on the web if you want.
3rd party apps:
Adobe Reader LE, ArcSoft MMS, Notepad, Today Agenda, Battery Status, HTC X Button 1.0, PHM Registry Editor, PIM Backup 1.9, Pocket RAR, Shut XP, Redial, SMS Backup, Task Manager, Total Commander, WM5torage
I also threw in the newly released HTC Audio Manager, which is a very nice audio player.
There are two versions:
One with Voice Speed Dial, One with MS Voice Command.
Registry tweaks:
Thin scrollbar, disabled security, 802.11g, increased ring tone, edge icon, keyboard icon. I also enabled increased file and glyph caches, as for me these help performance noticeably, and there is plenty of ram.
Speaking of ram, I get 29.93 mb free on reboot of the VC version. I imagine it may be a tad higher for the SD version. If you don't like a particular app, just don't use it. It's not taking up any of your storage space anyway! If you want a few more mb of ram, you can disable the file cache settings manually, but I don't think its worth it personally.
Issues:
This rom is based on mUn's latest release, which still has some issues to be worked out, mainly Flash Player and A2DP, but check on the Pandora or mUn rom threads for tweaks and fixes for these as they become available.
Edit: I am advised by mattk_r that a2dp may work. Let me know. (I don't use it.)
For those that need these features now, Faria or Core-based roms currently work. If people are interested in "Packed" versions of those, let me know. Or cook your own!
This is an OS only flash.

Have fun!
going to try it now, looks good, thanks for posting it
It Looks Nice bro
I will try it and get back
Thanks
Seems pretty fast, I only had 27.16MB of ram free with nothing extra installed or running, not even activesync.
Everything seems great except the GPS icon tweak isn't preset and there aren't any extra themes (Black) added already.
None of them are big deals since they can be fixed, but just saying for a "fully-Loaded" Rom, they less tweaking needed after the fact, the better.
Thanks for the comment. If you have a bundle or link that you'd recommend let us know. Or post a cab for people to install.
I could put some more stuff in the Voice Speed Dial version, but the Voice Command version is close to the edge. So to keep the features the same, I'll probably just leave them as is for now. Down the road as my "Packer" becomes more sophisticated, I may be able to squeeze more in, but for now this is about the state of the art.
I don't know why your ram numbers are different. Mine were higher. Still, 28 meg should be plenty to work with I think.
I'm afraid there will be some tweaking to be expected. We are creating things that aren't perfect. I appreciate your help.
Best wishes,
a little error with voice dailing with headset
Nice Rom, surely a fast one but
when tried to dial with the voicedailer thru my bt headset nothing happened...
i getting used with the fact that voicedailing gives problems with some roms but this one is easily to handle:
From HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "\Windows\btagext.dll" (string)
To HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Bluetooth\AudioGateway\BTA GExtModule = "OEMAGW.dll" (string)
and it works....
still a nice rom....
Loaded it this morning cleanly. As others have said it is nice and quick. My old ROM had been in for all of four weeks so it was time for a change
I had some issues with AS on first sync. My favorites and most of my ring tones didn't come across even though it showed Synchronized. I re-synced and all came across bar my tsk files and the notes. With the notes, I have two copies of each. One is the original from the PC sync along with another pre-fixed "Changed copy of" in the filename. Never seen this before.
It does seem fully loaded with one small omission : the Wireless Today plug-in. Ill find it and add it in but perhaps this could be considered for a future up-issue. A small quibble and easy to fix.
Downloading now...
Hello!! Im just downloading your ROM, i look just like what i install all over when i hard reset my device so i will give it a try. However i thing there is another PDF reader out there that many claim is faster and lighter, i dont remember the name. I will look out for it and spread out the word.
I have some questions:
Does this ROM has has the Camera v3.0?
Does this ROM has the bluetooth explorer enabled and working?
How much is the battey consuption and idle processor 4% ?
Best regards !!
Thanks pdamol for the fix.
Tpalik, yeah, unfortunately activesync acts up at times with reflashing. I don't think its this rom. I have a whole hocus-pocus routine I go through now to avoid duplicate entries when changing roms. I've had thousands of notifications, and thousands of contacts before, which really made me panic. Hope you didn't have too many notes to delete.
In the future, try deleting the sych relationship from both your PC and the mobile device before reflashing. Then re-synching, adding only one category at a time, and watching carefully to see that each time the additional category is actually synched. Thats helped me.
Anyway, thanks for your suggestion.
Hope you both enjoy the rom!

Yes, pdaXplore is out there, but there are mixed reviews about whether it is actually lighter on resources when running. (It is a slightly smaller .exe) So, I went with the standard, since I could fit it in. If you like the other one you could install it too.
I think it is Camera 3
Not sure about the bluetooth explorer.
Idle processor is 0-2% with occasional bounces as the system does something or other. Battery life should be good.

Thats it ! pdaXplore. Yes i just read some comments and as you said is not as stable as our old good Adobe Reader.
Another questions, does it have implemented the GPRSStallworkaround fix?
Is it safe to flash it to a G4 device?
Does it has smartskey??
10 button comm manager?
Voip ???
So sorry for all these questions!!
Thankx man keeo up the good work !

GPRSStallworkaround: Not sure, but there's a registry editor included so you can put it in yourself if needed.
G4: Yes, its safe. Read up on how to do it if you haven't done it already though.
Smartskey: No, I don't use it, but if you want it just load it in yourself. It's a really small program. BatteryStatus, which is included, does overclocking on its own.
10 button: yes
voip: yes
Take care,
Does your packed ROM include the GPS application and Icon?
ROM looks very good and I would like to try but need the GPS and a lot of ROMs don't include it.
Thx,

Hi, No it doesn't. I'm not sure why not. If I find it I'll put it in the next update. (Along with the other fixes people suggest.) Having said that, I have no problem connecting with my GPS over bluetooth and TomTom is happy. I've read that app has been impossible to get to work properly, and most of the GPS folks avoid it. If you have problems getting going with the current set-up and want how I do it let me know.

Nope the GPS icon its not enabled.
I just flashed with this ROM and my device has frozen 2 or 3 times also it has a little trouble with the voice dialer, when in press the voice activation button it says that it cant start the assigned app.
Strange. I will fix it by myself. but i dont like to fix recently flashed ROMS.
Hi charly_mx,
Sorry for your trouble. Try a hard reset (if you haven't loaded too much in already). Or a soft reset if you have. (Using the pinhole.) I'm using the voice command version, and haven't had any problems with freezing. Is it a particular app? We could see if others are having trouble with it as well. If you post the fix for the voice dial activation I'll make sure it gets corrected in the next version.
Thanks,

I just got it!!! Look.
The Voice Speed Dial is bad assigned in the button config. Instead of being assigned on the second option of the button 4, it must be assigned in the first assignement (for a single key press activation). The second assignment of the button 4 is meant to be the "press and hold" function. Thats why it wasnt working with a single key press. Its just a slight config option.
Best regards.!!

Well, i know i CAN, but should i ?
I noticed the OS is newer than helmi's kaiser 0.7.0, so i would like this one, if there are no problems...
thanks mc. this is another solid room.
i got a bug. while in messaging (email or text) i cannot see the pictures of the people who send the message. i can see just a little bit of it, but most of it is showing off the screen. almost as if i was using an app made for vga on a non vga device. anyone else notice this?
edit:
okay so when this happens....slide the keyboard out...then close it...and the message returns to its normal format with the pic fully viewable. any thoughts?
whoa....i just pushed the mail button on the front the phone reset itself...hmmmm

I could install all the AT&T cabs I need, but then I also don't want PTT or HTC Task Manager... Plus, from your HTC ROMs with the same build and kernel, the Dynamic ones seem to be the most stable and quickest to me.
Thanks in advance and for what you've done up to now anyway. Really apreciate the work you put into this. Donation will soon follow (and that's not a bribe).

whoa....i just pushed the mail button on the front the phone reset itself...hmmmm
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
didn't experience this, tried to re-create by:
-hitting the mail soft key after boot from initial flash
-power-down/power-up then press mail key once today screen loads
-hard reset
-after today screen loads from reboot hit mail key
-power down/power up and then hit mail key
everytime the messaging applet open......
maybe i'm doing something wrong.
rom runs great and possibly even fixed a past issue....
i have an at&t tilt that i purchased from an at&t coporate store on the day of the US release.
i hard-spl'd the day hard-spl was released to shed that god awfull thinguhmabob at&t had on this phone that was more like TnT on Tilt.
proceeded to flash the htc ship rom and somewhere inbetween a pixel died right above the "m" in smart mobility.
the pavarotti pixel was evident on every subsequent boot as well as opening any non-white variant background page/app.
since flashing this rom that that dead pixel is johnny alive.
i know this rom fixed the dead pixel because after flashing every kaiser rom/cooked-rom on xda the dead pixel remained, um, well dead.
the the at&t rom to me felt more like a caveman trying to use a stick, on a rock, to draw a buffalo with some headless stick people dancing around doing the caveman robot.
i have experienced no issues yet but as with most self-reports, this is subjective.
Edit (oct-19-2007 1:34p cst):
after some 12 hours of use, the phone (or screen input), has become unresponsive similar to the at&t rom. unresponsive meaning; i am on the today screen and click start-settings. the transition to the settings menu is quick but once i arrive to the settings menu the screen freezes (or rather any stylus inputs are delayed by 2-3 seconds if even received). to me it seems like the device is polling something like the sd card or ptt (only roms i've experienced this on have been with ptt) but my gut could be off as i'm late for lunch and my gut is hungry.
having said this, this rom, for me, is somewhat un-usable. i have hard re-setted 3x now in attempt to correct said lag but lag wins. in between the 1st and 2nd hr's i loaded up pocket + 4.0, resco explorer 6.16, resco registry, resco ftp. did a hard reset once the device started to lag with said software installed. currently i have no apps installed and still experience extremem lag on just cooked-stock-default settings/apps. going back to htc ship.
-ds
I'm anxious to install this on my Tilt -
A couple of questions -
1) Which dialpad is it using? The same as on the original AT&T ROM, or the Eten dialer that has been packaged with the other Kaiser ROMs?
2) Any guess if TomTom 6.032 will work with this one (assuming I already had it working on my Tilt with a Kaiser ROM)?
3) Safe to assume that, since this a Tilt package, there's no need to install the keyboard remapping hack (or manually configure data connections)?
Also - I haven't seen any chatter about this in a (short) while - Do you notice any improvement on this ROM (or any other for that matter) with the tinny/distant sound of bluetooth headsets?
Thanks so much for your hard work on this!!!!!!!!!!
AMG
is this rom running significantly faster than the htc 070 rom? i mean is it worth it to jump ship again, and install everything again? or people just want this rom for the storage
i very highly doubt a signifgant change in speed because there is no signifigant change in the rom....it's probably a user opinion kind of thing....only way to prove is benchmark...but most likely nothing worth spending 1 hr of software setup blah blah

Hello everyone, It is time for me to finally make a contribution to this forum.
This is my first rom, and I have been working on it for way too many hours making sure that everything I use works. However I don't use everything and just haven't had time to make sure.
This is where I hope you will point out my mistakes so that I can fix them.
Notes:
CE OS shows 318 build because I used that nb0 (I couldn't find a bigger one)
Memory at startup is about 27-29mb free (with voice command enabled by default)
Also the storage memory, I synced my contacts and took some screenshots (informative ones) which is why it shows that number. You should get about 45mb before you sync 198contacts/caller id pictures, and not to mention about a dozen .bmp screenshots
The screenshots are edited obviously, to fit all of the icons

reserved for updates
By the way, I'm thinking of adding fring and replace the explorer with the one duty made.
What I will not add for sure because it can run standalone off of a card is :
TaskManager2.9; PocketXpdf; Google Maps 2 (they actually update); TCPMP; ClearTemp;Backup SMS.
reserved as well just in case (for fixes and files)
Will try it out, Thanks for your work.
Thanks S.V.I.
Downloading now, will flash later today and post accordingly
Have a good one
Nice Job, The only bug so far is that it took 6 soft resets to get it to recognize the Data AT&T Network.
1)Hangs a bit when adding an appointment, Newer Build does not happen
So at this time 29 people downloaded. I hope to get more feedback but I don't expect it from anyone until about 24hours with this rom.
Pumpiron579: could it have been a bad flash? or perhaps a corrupted archive?
I don't have that issue at all I set up network wizard, let it reset and it works immediately. strange that you had to reset so much. I hope that everything works now?
Thanx for downloading and trying
I don't know why that happened. That was a first for me. See if anybody else has that specific problem. If not, it was just something with my flash ?? Everything works great know. Been using it for 5 hours.
I needed three soft resets to get the phone to start up, froze on splash screen - after three resets, its all good........
Will update this post as soon as I use it a bit more
All additional software installed and works without issue

camera works well - no issues, wifi set up without issue, sms tested and working. Phone works, calls are clear. Bluetooth set up with car hands free without issue.
I've never used pbar, so just need to get used to it. Lots of extras with this, so will need to play with it. But it does work.
So far, so good - battery is at 100% fully charged, will use for a bit and update some more.
I did not hard reset after flash, so that may have been my issue.
Nice rom so far - will continue to update
3 soft resets? strange. I will upload a different upgrade utility. se if that is solved. Mine does not do that. I did a hard reset after flashing without my sd card.
It may just be that the thing may have become corrupted when uploading/downloading/compressing. I will compress it less next time.
Working on fixes for things that I have experienced. will probably upload again tomorrow late night. I really need more feedback other than that issue.
How is the battery? Is the pBar working for you? camera, mms, Live office? everything good?

You'll need to port the XIP in order to get the build number to come out right.

I Have the xip from 209, I just used the nb0 from a different one because it is bigger. is it really important that the numbers match??
Also, for those who have the issue of having to reset 3 times (2 people complained) I am posting another link in the 1st post.
congratulations on your rom I have seen grinminded has helped you out in your rom...
definitely this is a very good rom
happy flashing brothers...

yes, Grinminded guided me in a couple of areas.
I plan to get rid of live and replace it with fring (all in one instant messenger with skype capabilities) I have used it before and have to say that it works, but has a flaw: while a message is coming through, it freezes, so you can't type anymore. the result may be a garbled instant message if you are not carefull. You guys think it is a good idea or not?
also, i need to get rid of menu animation in the registry to make it work a little bit faster (you can fix that in the reg your self for now, before I upload. sorry for the wait.)
I'm also about to add some battery fixes so you may have to wait for that as well.
I have to catch up with a lot of work at the moment. if you have suggestions, please post them. I will work on it as soon as I can.
happy flashing
Hey SVI,
I've read a number of your posts in a few threads and must say I'm really looking forward to trying this. I think our ROM flavors are very similar. I've DLed your ROM, but haven't had a chance to install it yet, since I'm on the road right now. As far as replacing Live w/ Fring, I'm kind of the mindset that Live tends to be a little more 'universal' right now and working pretty flawlessly. Fring can always be added by cab. Just my 2 cents. Thanks very much for all your hard work.

Battery life appears as good as the other 6.1 rom's I've been trying - do not have any drain issues here. Good solid rom - works well for me.
Are you aware of any specific issues that I can perhaps check out for you ??
Good job - thank you

I would keep live messenger. 2 reasons I love this rom, 1) messenger, 2) M$ VC. when a rom does not have them cooked in, it takes up a lot of room installing them into the main memory. I use my messenger a lot.

I was working on this rom last night and decided to try out the "Live" and beat the $#!* out of it. The oem package that I have, is not very rock solid. I took the package out, and the performance improved. It runs in the background weather you like it or not. A far as messenger is concerned, I'm not sure yet. MS is letting people download Live Mobile in standard and pro. maybe they have updated and fixed some issues. I have also been working on the graphics for this monster (it's big) so not everything is black and white; originally I turned everything Grey to save space. I added some Reg tweaks having to deal with caches. the result is loss of ram (about 2mb). Will keep you posted, and probably update another version tomorrow.

Argh! Warranty repair + Upgrade...

Hi all,
I sent my phone back to T-Mobile for a warranty repair because a couple of the keys stopped responding to key presses.
Got the phone back today repaired, they have replaced the keyboard. BUT they have also upgraded the firmware on the phone. Now it is WM6.1 and I am unable to restore my (a lot) applications etc from the 2gb backup file on my SD card.
It asks me for an upgrade file which I don't have. It performs the restore anyways but then the phone won't boot.
On performing a hard reset it comes back with WM6.1
I can't even cancel the damn T-Mobile customisations like I could in WM6 (by restarting the device before they install) now it just wipes the handheld again after boot and installs the T-Mobile crap again every time.
Please can someone help me restore my backup file? Where can I Get an upgrade file?
I found a guide here that I would have followed had I know they would upgrade my phone without my consent:
http://spritesoftware.crmdesk.com/answer.aspx?id=329
Is anyone here still on WM6 (not 6.1) able to create an upgrade file for me and host it somewhere?
I know it's a massive ask but I would be forever greatful if someone could help me out with this.
Many Thanks,
Alex.
If you dont want the 6.1 i would check the wiki/search for the 6.0 rom that you had before you sent it in. The older rom should be avaliable somewhere.. You just have to look for it.
I say you send it back to T-Mobile and ask for a G1 instead
I've spoken to T-Mobile to see if they could change it back and they said there is nothing they can do.
Is there some way to save my current rom to my SD card so that I can go back to 6.0, create an upgrade file for sprite, come back to 6.1 and restore my backup using the upgrade file?
I don't know where I can find the original T-Mobile Rom though I've looked on the web and the T-Mobile site.
Sorry I'll admit that I'm a noob at this.

Is the backup just to save you re-installing programs, or is there data in the backup that isn't backed up somewhere else?
The only thing I would really "lose" on my phone are the contacts which come right back as soon as I set the phone up to sync with exchange again. If I wasn't using exchange I would have all my contacts backed up in Outlook on my PC.
Maybe you just need to re-install your programs again. WM 6.1 does have some nice enhancements over WM 6.0.
Nothing they can do vs they can't be bothered

Complain to them about much longer GPS lock times (assuming you have the option of installing Tomtom or similar on your phone). I had this problem with the official HTC WM 6.1 upgrade (see this *Hopeless* GPS after 6.1 update thread for more info) and the HTC Service centre reverted the ROM back to 6.0 for free under warranty so if T-Mobile say they cant get the HTC Technical Centre to do this for you, they're not trying hard enough - time to escallate it to the manager! There's no physical reason why they cant revert the ROM and they should have warned you that they would flash the ROM.

I will lose a lot of data that is not backed up anywhere else. One of the main things is my TomTom favourites, which is full of locations I would have to drive to to save again, and can't drive to without the favourites lol. Other than that it's a lot of apps and customisations like numerous SPB apps that have been tailored to my requirements over the last year.

ffs I hope that's not going to be the case, I use TomTom 6 on my phone ALL the time and I'll be REALLY annoyed if it's not going to perform as well at that. It's the main reason I went for this phone.
I think I will ask for the manager. The pleb I spoke to did even go and ask someone if there was anything they could do.

GPS was a big drawcard for me also and the difference between HTCs official WM 6.1 vs WM 6.0 ROMs is like night and day (6.1 being night). Give it a test under your new OS just to see how it works with the T-Mobile ROM (I see there's a new 1.70xxxx series T-Mobile Radio - maybe yours has it now) but don't get your hopes up

Feel free to mention you know someone who had the ROM officially reverted for free under warranty. Remember, this is something that is possible to get done, I have personal experience of it.
As far as how to backup in the future, I backup all my Music, Videos and Tomtom Navigator 6.032 Maps and POIs etc on my microSDHC card using my Sandisk Cardreader and Windows XPs own backup utility. It's quick, free and works a treat! There's no need to use any special mobile phone backup software just for this sort of thing (although phone settings/configuration etc will require manual re-entering if you don't back them up - but then I'm unsure if it's possible to retain those across different OSs).
I tried to use my tomtom yesterday and it took ages to lock on despite having the quick gps downloaded.

Well then assuming you were out in the open and there's no reason why it shouldn't have got a quick lock (other than the 'up'grade), you know what to do!
For other T-Mobile customers and people considering using the radio in a non- T-Mobile Kaiser (not me!), it may be helpful if you post the ROM and Radio Versions you currently have.
ROM Version: 3.31.110.1 WWE
Radio Version: 1.70.18.02
Protocol Version: 25.83.40.02H
The sat nave seems better since that first lock, but I've only used it twice.
Is there a way to backup this ROM before I change back to do my upgrade file?
Cheers,
DJ

Repeat after me, this ROM is bad, this ROM needs to go, Old ROM is good, Old ROM is whats needed (for the meantime)!
Once you've got your SD Card contents back, then you can think about where to go from there and T-Mobile I'm sure will be only to pleased to supply you with the upgrade again or do it themselves.
