Can u put any Cooked Rom on any smartphone? - General Topics

*puts on flame retardent suit*
I have just got me a treo 750 and I just loaded up WM6 and want to put some cooked roms on it.
I have flashed my phone with the Cheatah hard spl lock. My phone already came unlocked so I only did step on of that process. Is that cool or do I need to run all 3?
Next and most important question or stupid on is this.
Can I put any cooked rom on my phone or does the Rom have to be specific to my phone.
IE I want to use Dutty's cooked rom on the keiser forum. Can I use that on my treo 750? Will it work or will it brink it?
What are some of the "rules" when putting a cooked rom on a phone? Does rom that is cooked in a forum only work with that perticular phone?
Cheers,
Rundy

no the difference between windows on pc's which include 1000's of drivers that the hardware require to start
pocketpc roms only require the drivers really really required for it to start
and if those are lacking it's a no go

thanks for the quuck reply.
SO I guess my question is this.
Can I use Dutty's Hybrid NO.7 NU-Skool BETA 1 on my treo 750?

I agree. It is time to upgrade my friend... There are so many roms out there that are almost 100% stable with everything working and not all of them include all of the extra crap either... If you wanted to keep the same general look going on and not the touchflo if thats what you're trying to avoid, then look into some of the professional roms instead of the touch roms.
A good example is TNT5.0 Professional. It has all the amendaties of WM5 but also supports all of the WM6 software.
...Thats my opinion anyway
I have
I've updated to WM6 many times with multiple roms, but they tend to lag in performance. Though one rom looks promicing is this one here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331812
BUT! It's a Hermes rom and I have no Idea how to flash that onto a wizard. So instead of risking my Wizard to brick, I was hoping someone could possibly patch those cabs for WM5.
If anyone is looking for a little project, please patch those cabs on the first post.
Thank you
i use TNE with over clocking, with no problems. just as fast as wm5 if not faster.
touch no evil.
and dont flash a wm6 rom that wasnt built for the wizard.

give this rom a try. It was originally made by its right but I personally modified it to have a larger page pool and is quite fast.
It is a touchflo rom though... Not sure how fond you are of those style roms...

???????????
Well does anyone just have the base WM6 rom that I can flash? Nothing custom, just the standard, factory WM6 rom? Cuz that would be the only way I would be willing to upgrade. If not then I just want the cabs to work on WM5.

Well there is TNT Official... It's the closest to an actual OFFICIAL Wizard WM6 rom as you are going to get...
Install that(it is CLEAN, nothing on it really) and you can install anything you want if you're not interested in a custom rom.
You could also give this a once over...

Touch-It coming to wizard, but a few questions...

Hey, I have a few questions about the wizard. to the chefs here.
I usually cook for herald, but a friend has a g4 qtec 9100, and he wants a rom from me. I started to cook, by port a kaiser rom to wizard, using kaiser sys and oem from a wizard.
Cooked in my packages, built the rom, and coverted to nk.nbf.
I flash with the shell tool. And here comes first question:
Since I have Vista, I presume that this is what cause some problems. When I use the shelltool, I get a "freeze" on the program (It dont answer) But I let it be on for aprox 20 min, when its "frozen"
The rom install fine, but the exrom dont install (In herald this is running fine after flashing the os.n
I tried same with a clean wizard rom, flash it, and no extrom loads??
second, my htc hme dont show up..weird...maybe its the reg settings that need to be changed?
Well, Im sure this is "silly questions" that all you chefs here has knowlege about, and im sure you have answered it many times before
BTW, have a look at my kaiser port to herald
Wing version
P4350 version
When its done and my friend is happy with it, I can post it here if anyone interested
And ill up a vanilla base rom to, with .rgu in it. if anyone wants it .) or just the oem, sys and rom folder
please post link with info and pics
look in first post

How do I update to Windows Mobile 6.1?!!

I'm so confused guys! I downloaded this ROM and am trying to get it installed on my phone. Can someone please give me a complete walkthrough on how to do this? Like step by step, everything I need to download, etc.?
I searched Google/these forums and didn't really find exact instructions. Is this the best ROM? Thanks in advance!
You have to install Hard-SPL first to be able to install this ROM.
Follow the instructions given here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100
And then you can flash the 6.1 ROM using the SD card method.
Follow the instructions given here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Cheetah_Upgrade
Awesome, now running 6.1 on my Treo . Which 6.1 ROM do you guys think is the best? I used the one that I linked to in my first post which i found on these forums.
Also I dont need to flash the radio or anything do I? All I did in that Hard SPL thing was just the Hard SPL, not the radio unlocker and all that (what is that anyways?).
Also what's the deal with the SMS style in the WM6.1 cooked ROM? Font is huge lol. Everything else seems cool though.
Ok, so I didn't like that this ROM was missing SMS, battery, etc. so I updated to the other ROM listed on this forum that is basically a vanilla windows mobile 6. I love it, so fast and everything.
Which radio do you guys think is best/most stable/best service? I'm pretty sure I'm on 1.54.07 or something like that (I'll check once my Treo is done rebooting).
My TREO after flash to WM6.1 view in about FW 1.12c.00..... its O.K or No?

hi Cameron,

I'm using Telstra plan.

[question] Windows Mobile 6.1 Update

hello guys
i currently have WM 6.0
and if i want to burn a rom into my phone that is WM 6.1
would i need to update my WM first?
if i do can someone send me the link where i can update it?
because i cant seem to find it.
thanks guys for helping me
Before everybody tackles you, let me answe this lol
If you have an official WM6.0, you'll need hardspl to install ANY custom ROM. Just install that and then choose the ROM of your likings (many chefs and ROMs out there).

You are making a confusion: the ROM itself (as in Read Only Memory) is the Windows Operating System (among others).
If you have WM6.0, that means you are running a WM6.0 ROM.
If you want WM6.1 you will need to upgrade to WM6.1 ROM.
This is where you are making the confusion: to upgrade to WM6.1 = to "burn" (aka flash) a WM6.1 ROM.
Hope this clears the fog!

hmm.. i think i understand wht ur saying. if i flash a WM 6.1 rom into my phone i would have WM 6.1. and if i have a WM. 6.1 rom and i want a 6.0 rom i simply need to just flash a 6.0 rom onto my phone. correct?
so there is no need for the extra step, of me having to update before i flash a 6.1 rom on to my phone.
essentially, flashing a rom is "Updating" in the sense i think you had in your first post in this thread. There is no need to update anything on your stock ROM because you are entirely replacing it.
It's similar to reformatting a XP computer that's Vista capable and putting Vista on it. (Not that I would recommend that anyone do that to their poor PC.)
However, before you flash, make SURE you have followed all the steps and guides to CID (Security) Unlock your phone and have HardSPL installed properly, otherwise your Kaiser will be a $450 paperweight. SIM (Subsidy) Unlocking is NOT the same as CID unlocking, so make sure you've done it right before trying it out.

Flashing an AT&T tilt with an Official HTC Rom

Hello,
I have recently bought a AT&T Tilt, and would like to flash to the current Offcial HTC WM 6.1 ROM.
I have done alot of reading in the wiki here and various FAQ threads and what not. But i am still a bit confused with a few things.
I have read the ROM Flashing faq and Intro here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
And i understand all that.
I also undestand that i need the Key board fix from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911
But thats not hard.
I went here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
I checked my device and the rom currently on it is the AT&T WM6.0 1.57.502.2 Original Shiped Rom.
I figured, being in Australia, i would need rom that had WWE as the country? So i downloaded the "RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship" rom. Is this an appropriete ROM for what i want?
BUT Its all this stuff about SPL's and what not that is confusing me.
My Tilt is SIM unlocked because i am using it on the Telstra network here in Australia. But im not sure if i have to change SPL's or not and if so, which spl i need and how to change it?
It would be greatly appreciated if someone was able to help me understand this SPL bussiness, because i really dont want to dive straight in a risk my device. I have done a fair bit of reading and i'm a fairly competent computer user so it won't take me long to learn.
Thanks in advance,
eMiller
you have to CID unlock it. this involves flashing the device with HardSPL then running a unlocker program. (this is what i know from Hermes, so i don't know if it is exactly the same on Tilt). It breaks the warranty though, so think first, then jump
by the way, you should try a cooked rom. in my experience, HTC roms are not that good, except for getting a stable radio. get the radio, then get a new OS rom, like hang.tuah or something.

Try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
Look for the Zip file at the very bottom of the screen this hard spl will let you flash any rom (follow the instructions the spl gives you exactly and dont get nervous if it appears stiuck for a bit), just make sure you know which ROM you really want to flash at the end
.
Again same stuff.
Guys, when you gonna learn to read everything which is realted to your device when you want to do something?
Everything is in Wiki, everything you need is posted in ROM threads.
Come on GUYS!
read the f**** wiki. you need hardspl. its not that hard to figure out if your not an imbisel
@joel2009: That is a little harsh. Also, if you're going to call someone an imbecile, you should probably spell it right.
@eMiller12 (fellow noob): I don't know if I would bother with the HTC ROM, I just flashed it and I am finding a few really annoying bugs... Read Jocky's STICKY post about the HardSPLs to learn how to flash one. It really is quite simple--and it's unlikely that you're going to brick your device, so no worries.
Hey FireMedic, thanks for understanding.
I have read through the Wiki a fair bit, i was just unsure which versions of hardSPL etc where best for the [email protected] Tilt inparicular. But i will just use this one that vorostatz recomended if that is the best one for the tilt.

We are not all senior members. I can fully understand the guys wish not to turn his expensive device into a paperweight. Ease up eh?
search forums using google (at top right)
yeah, exactly... I was pretty scared to hardspl when I first started.
Hardspl 3.29 seems to be the best one, check my signature after you've read the hardspl sticky.
From what I understand, a rom flash might try to write a different spl which is obviously bad. hardspl prevents this.
If you ever need to, you can undo it. Kyphur explains in the hardspl sticky how to change them, by running a program named jumpspl 1.56 (on your device) with your sim and sd cards out and then flashing the spl normally.
Just make sure you follow directions for your device and try different roms.
Good luck and feel free to ask questions, even if some of the people here have heard them way too often.

Actually the WWE (World Wide English) one seems to be used more in Europe and this side of the world. For down-under, they use SEA South East Asia versions. There are issues with ROM compatibility in Australia specifically (at least in the WM 6.0 days) so if you want to know the best official WM 6.0 and 6.1 ROMs, short of searching for what setups Australian xda-dev forum members are using, you could look at the devices on sale in the shops. If you're wanting WM 6.1 just to have the latest and greatest, think again and have a look at the Windows Mobile 6 vs. Windows Mobile 6.1 thread.
***Edit*** Also note that there are two Australian specific ROMs in the WM 6.0 section of the Kaiser HTC ROM wiki
