Newbie here<-- video of backing up Rom and Flashing new?

Sorry if this has been asked before but I could not find it in any searches I did. I am pretty hesistent about doing this myself and the directions are know all that clear to me. Is there a video showing how to back up and flash a Rom? This is including the apps and/or cabs I need installed on pc or ppc. Any chance someone could do this if there isn't one? Thanks for anyone's help.

That says it all ... doesn't it ???
in the mean time ... READ ...READ ... & then READ more !!!
not until you feel comfortable should you attempt to flash & experiments... unless you want an expensive paperweight !!

At least try to SEARCH !!!! before asking anything....

There's tooooo many, "help is my device bricked" threads!
No one is going to hand the how-to to you on a silver platter.

Couldn't say it any better, directions and every thread on this board is clear as glass. If you scared to do it, then stick to the stock rom. Sorry, but I believe post like these really push members buttons, after seeing two or three pop up everyday.

Can't update Rom to 6.1 in Tilt

I can't update the Rom of my Htc Tilt to wm 6.1 (Duttys Non cube 1.65.14 and Hybrid 1.64.08-tried both). The update process is starting and stays at 0% for 2-3 mins , then showing an error message-"ERROR 262 UPDATE ERROR:..........
I attached a pic of the error message.
Now what shld i do? PLS PLS HELP and REP ASAP.

Did you follow all directions, including Hard SPL first?

Check the Wiki for answers to this error. And use Firefox to post so it will correct all your punctuation and grammatical errors.

for your sake i sure hope you flashed hardspl onto your tilt before deciding to flash a rom .. If you did make sure you read the information relevant to your phone and the procedure you were atempting than you are not in too much trouble. All you probably need to do is make sure your phone is synced to the pc and give the flash another shot.
If however you were feeling lazy and didn't bother reading any of the instructions and just flashed the rom after downloading it off of the thread than my friend you are royally screwed. I don't know what to tell you to do next if you didn't flash hardspl first as i don't know (nor hope to) the consequences for not doing that. You need to get in touch with the senior members (be nice in your request) like gsleon3 and see if they can help you solve your issue.
good luck

Yes i got it. Thanks guys. Actually i didn't do the hardspl. Now one last question- Which is best ROM by Dutty? and what is the difference between a cube and a non cube version?
Thanks again for supporting me.

I think you may want to read the wiki's and do the HardSPL, it may save you from paying money for a new device. IMO

best rom is a matter of opinion, try a few see what you like, personally i don't like dutty's roms, i prefer a fully loaded multimedia gaming rom like movile vista 1.3, and as far as your CUBE question search

Please clear this thing....i can't understand.

Please, oh please....don't do another thing to that phone until you have read GWENI. People here have broken a lot of devices and compiled an unbelievable amount of information so that newcomers won't have to make the same destructive mistakes or ask the same old tired questions. It is oh so very frustrating to contribute this work just so somebody can drop in and deftly avoid all of these attempts at shoving information into them. Everybody is being very nice and calm while doing what we call spoonfeeding you. Show that you respect and appreciate the patience by using the resources that the members here have worked so diligently on providing. Trust me, it is time well spent and will keep you from making one of the many mistakes out there that will render your device the most expensive paperweight you own.
Remember, we have forums, threads, Wikis, and stickies. The purpose of all of these is to share our knowledge. Do not walk through this forest blindfolded or you'll find yourself sitting on your backside picking bark out of your teeth.

There is no such thing of FM or AM radios in this PDA phone...
That radio is a ROM extension that manages the cellular/wifi/bluetooth radio frequency emissions and audio.

Well Well Well... I understand that you are new to this thread as I am and try to get help from people. Just a bit of advice, you might need as least to read the sticky on this thread before giving out any questions
To answer your question, you might need to go to Start->Setting->System->Device Information, then you will see basic information on your device

ah ah ah remember... dutty being the god that he is has gotten an FM radio to work (sorta) and we can download that cab but we need a wired headset to use the FM radio and personally i can't see spending $400 on a phone if you are unwilling to shell out a few more bucks to get a bt headset so i don't have the wired headset to use the FM radio

I mean If you are talking about the Phone Radio You won't "find it."
However others have brought up a good point, if you mean FM radio. You won't find one either. It doesn't work.

but nothing..
please.. any help or answers would be greatly appreciated..
WHAT DO I DO???
Thank you..

Which ROM? I wasn't aware we had a chef named Phoenix.
I handle PR for a ROM called Phoenix, and this question should be in that thread IF you think it's a problem with that ROM specifically.
aka READ JIMMY'S RULES AT THE TOP OF THE FORUM.
that being said. I flash with the SIM in all the time, so I'm not exactly sure what you have done to your device.
Try a different Radio ROM, not a full ROM, a RADIO ROM.

Either that or he's going to seek advice in the actual proper thread.
Now, the guessing game, either Dave or Kareem, I don't see Jimmy or NATF around too horrbily much anymore, though they're still here... hmmm...
Speaking of mods, you know who i haven't seen in a while? ATW.
Hmm...

I flash every new rom made and I have never taken out my sim card when i flash a rom. You need to post your question in the thread that you got the rom from.

I agree with asfoor (below, I don't feel like putting another post in this thread)

Mods ...please close this thread... Thank you...

Please close this thread.
Yes -- he should ask me...in the right thread. I too never take my sim card out...ever. I flash 10 or 15 times a day when cooking.

Any HTC Stock 6.1 ROMs in nbh form without radio out there?

Been trying to get used to flashing from SD card but can't seem to find a Stock ROM that is suitable. They all seem to come as exe files. I found a good list of reconstructed 6.0 ROMs but can't find any 6.1 ones.
Does this mean everyone flashes to Stock via USB first? Or am I missing something ?

I would like to know this too!
I pulled the nbh from the exe on at&ts website but when I tried flashing from my sd card it only changed my spl and radio back to stock but not the rom.

try to unrar .exe file with winrar

Take this, Shipped 6.1 ROm, no Radio, no SPL

Thanks. Look like what I was after. Will give it a try next time .

I think almost all cooks have their own stripped 6.1 ROMs. I have one in my thread, and I think zelendel posted one in TPC's thread.

I posted these before.. but here it is again.
Below is the same is the one linked on the other post above. I just named it with correct version number.

Thanks for those . Any particular difference between the two versions? Is the Cingular one onlt for AT&T maybe? I have a UK Orange Tytnii.
Just thought maybe I shouldn't be keeping recommended radio when I reflash ROM? Is it best to reflash original radio first too or doesn't it make any difference?

Damned if I can see anything in your ROM thread or in TPC's lol. I've also tried every search term I can think of.
All I can think is people who bother to do the recommeneded flashing back to stock must be using usb.

No I'm not. Maybe I am going blind but all I see is your link to the AT&T stripped rom but I'm looking for HTC - as I said I've got a UK Orange TytnII which from what I've read says it should be flashed with HTC stock. Or maybe you are saying it doesn't matter which stock rom? And there is definitely no mention of stripped rom on TCP's page - I know that by heart now lol.
Anyway I have 2 now so I will have a go next time. Thanks again.

How dare you jump in here with that attack. I really object to this. Where have I been impolite? Have you read my OP?
For the record I not only read the instructions. I devour them! Then I learnt them parrot fashion before I began. I have been a lurker round here for years but only started flashing last week. And for the last several weeks I have been trawling through literally thousands of posts to be sure of getting it right.
Now please show me on those instruction pages where it tells you how you can find a stock HTC ROM without radio that can be flashed from an SD card!
ai6908 kindly referred me to his page where there is only a link to a stripped AT&T stock rom and to TCP's page where there is no mention either. I was also asking if it was necessary to reflash the same radio every time as none of the instructions mention if you have the radio you need already. Still not had an answer on this so maybe it's just a stupid question - just wish I knew the answer lol.
Thankfully more helpful souls than you have provided me with the file I need. Thanks again F1ip and Pisca.
Some of you people on here can be arrogant so and so's. I belong to many forums and have never come across anything like it. Look at all the space you wasted flaming me and now me having to defend myself! No wonder the kids on here post the way they do if this is the example they get set by senior members. I would wager well over half the posts on this forum are pointless flaming. And just ask yourself how many questions are really new and have not already been answered by someone somewhere here. And look how much space would have been saved if you hadn't butted in here on your high horse without reading my question properly .
Rant over.

Stock ROM is the same, it doesnt matter much for it being HTC or AT&T. Base ROM is the same on both of them.
Actually in my opinion, you dont even need to flash to stock ROM. I never flash stock ROM when I flash, and I flash about 10 times a day sometimes.
Sometimes occational hard reset might help. So in my opinion, just flash to any ROM, and do a hard reset after flash and when it prompts for screen alignment. That should solve all your flash issues.

Interesting, thanks. Certainly would save time not having to go through the whole rigmarole every time. That's one of the main reasons I was asking about the cut-down roms. As least I wouldn't have to keep doing the radio as well. Now whether with my lack of experience I should be going against what the 6.5 chefs seem to all be advising ....... .
On the other hand I may never flash again since TCP's latest seems to tick all my boxes. But having summoned up the courage to get going in the first place and it opens up a whole new lease of life for your phone, you kinda get a bit hooked. So maybe when I find one where MotoHome runs fast and smooth on my old Kaiser ........

Apologies accepted . As you might be abe able to tell, the flaming that goes on verywhere around here really gets to me and you certainly hit a nerve. I sometimes wonder if I've wandered onto some Fight Club site by mistake lol .
Yes I do know the exe files can be uncompressed but the radio is still in the nbh file - and one guy who tried using the nbz file on its own said it flashed the radio part ok but not the rom itself .
What I will do is delve a little more into what makes up the unzipped nbh file. Might be a good way to start getting into this kitchen stuff .

Radio's and HBOOT - Whats the point?

Hi All,
playing with custom ROM's and flashing and learning it all slowly.
See plenty of posts about different Radio versions and HBOOT's but cant really see anything explaining the point of them?
What would I gain by changing my radio version or hboot version?
Thanks

Hboot or more over "Bootloader".
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Glossary#Bootloader
Radio.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/Glossary#Radio
Upgrading your radio may improve your mobiles signal, WiFi, and Bluetooth. Simply, your phone may be able to hold a more stable connection to towers by contacting them more often, WiFi may not drain as much power when in use, while also having a stronger reception. Each radio just contains minor improvements that the engineers at HTC have been able to tweak to ensure your device performs more efficiently.

Just upgraded my Radio to the latest version after reading that.
Doesn't sound like I'd gain much from a bootloader upgrade so not going to bother with that one
Cheers!

Good call, it's worth knowing that even though radio upgrades can be benefitical to signal reception and battery life (of cause they could also have exactly the opposite effect) if they go wrong they can brick your device!
So it's always worth checking the m5dsum for any files that you download once they're on your device just before you flash them to ensure that no file corruption has occurred during file transfers.
It's not worth upgrading HBOOT to the 2.xx.xxxx until the current customs ROMS are written to take specific advantage of it.

OFF TOPIC
I have been thinking about this for awhile, I've got to do some research but I'm not sure but I've got a feeling the newer hboot may be sort of bonus for the more recent radios, I won't explain why because all the thoughts I have are hypothetical, but it has to do with the phone communicating to the radio. As I was actually able to "lock" my radio through a ROM the other night, which resulted in a lot of thinking on a solution to the problem ;-).
Problem was solved in the end, but I doubt anyone else will ever come across this problem.

I've got to do some testing .. which unfortunately is rather time consuming, so I'll probably be able to post some results and more information next week . Chances are though its a one off thing that will never happen again ;-).

Can you please also explain how to check the md5sum for any file / ROM ,etc ?
Sorry for the noob question ...
Thank you in advance !

Download a md5 checker or go into 4ext recovery, select option for md5 generator or something like that

First off, think how to help yourself google is our friend.
most free file manager apps (astro etc) on your device should show the m5dsum of files on the device under properties

chill dude .. it's just that i m new to all this .. & since most of the ROM thread's don't allow posting for users with less than 10 posts ... these are the threads where i can clarify lil doubts I have , especially from lots of senior members here!
If google is the answer to all solutions , the OP could have also searched the same thing on google / xda-forums ...
Thank u for the answer anyways ...

The Op created a thread for a specific question that was answered by several people including me.
You high jacked the thread and asked off topic questions which I also answered to a point, where I felt that google search would assist you. I also provided you with answer to your final question so really no need for the chill line.
If you have any question no matter how trivial or small don't worry about opening a new thread in the Q/A section of this forum add that is what it is designed for, you then have every right to go in any direction and ask any Queston you need.

Good call, it's worth knowing that even though radio upgrades can be benefitical to signal reception and battery life (of cause they could also have exactly the opposite effect) if they go wrong they can brick your device!
So it's always worth checking the m5dsum for any files that you download once they're on your device just before you flash them to ensure that no file corruption has occurred during file transfers.
It's not worth upgrading HBOOT to the 2.xx.xxxx until the current customs ROMS are written to take specific advantage of it.
