I am noob in windows mobile I have just switched from nokia n73 to HTC S710. Some people think it was not a good idea but anyhow. 4 days back I tried to upgrade my cousins gene but after applying HSPL it was dead. I asked a lot of people in gene subform how recover, in the end a Rom chef told me if I had bought phone this year then there is no solution to it. So finally I had to take it to HTC service centre and they have asked me to check after 5 days.
Now I have bought Vox myself so learning from past experience I am asking you guys first. I have read wikki though.
1) Which is the fastest but most stable rom? (Which does not have bugs)
NEO ROM for Vox v0.9 [New XIP 20202]
Windows Mobile 6.1 v1.1
Or Hikey's Rom tell me the version.
or someother.
2) From my information given Which USPL should I use 1.16 or 1.34 or 1.35 and also can I use them or will they brick my phone?
My Device Info
Boot Loader
Vox
ONBL 1.34.0000 wifi
LG
Vox
SPL 1.34.0000
Vox IU
CPLD - 04
OS From about
Windows Mobile 6 Standard
CE OS 5.2.1622 (Build 18128.0.4.4)
Radio Version 4.1.13.54_03_.10.90
RIL Version 2.002
Any help will be appreciated.

First you should decide whether you want WinMo 6.0 or 6.1. As far as I heard the ROMs with the new XIPs are faster. I would say the Neo ROMs are the fastest 6.0 ROMs. For 6.1 there isn't such a huge difference But my experience is that the 96 dpi ROMs are pretty fast, but they are by far not bug free. Otherwise you have to decide what software you need. Gonzo's ROM has everything in it, my Lite ROM is pretty much the same, just without some apps.
In the Wiki is a list of hopefully most ROMs.
For USPL the 1.16 is definately working, as it did for over a year now. I don't know if the newer ones have any advantages or not. If you go to the wiki and follow the guides carefully you should not brick your phone. Link is in my signature.
My SPL is 1.34.000 as I have seen from my bootloader information. So can I use 1.16.
Is Neo Rom .9 bug free, have you tried it also I have read few threads people saying Hikey's WM6.1 roms are stable but does not have his thread here. From my information given is stock rom for my current os available somewhere.
It is on the XDA-dev ftp. There are a couple of shipped ROMs.

Well not all speak chinese I am on WM 6.1 v1.0 by LeFab47 alias fireburned with new xip 20202. So far it is the best for me. I hope he gives a version without thirdpart applications.

I am using my Xda neo (flashed with traditional chinese version ROM, version 5.1.195(build 14847.2.0.0).
I believe I am using AKU2 and am wondering if this is the right time to upgrade to AKU3?
I have some questions:
1. What is "G3", "G4"? How can I know which one my Xda neo is?
2. I saw "AKU3 rom" with many different "'pool size". What they mean?
3. Any complete one-stop AKU3 package/procedures which I can just download and follow, in order to upgrade my Xda neo to AKU3?
Any BAD effect for AKU3 has been known on Xda neo so far?
Thanks
When your phone starts up you can see IPL and SPL at the boot screen, if it ends with .0001 then you have a G4 and when it does not you probably have a G3. Example: 2.15.0001 = G4
You cannot put a rom for G3 on a G4 and vice versa, it will brick your phone.
And I can't really comment which ROM is better since I'm still searching for a good ROM myself The AKU 3.2 seems to have some buggies, although the AKU 2.3 seems to be quite stable (reading from other people their comments).
As for pool size, I quote:
The large the paging pool is, the more code pages can present in RAM simultaneously -> the less loads from slow ROM -> the faster the device is.
Click to expand...

It seems they come with all different pool sizes. My guess is they cost some memory to gain some speed. But I have also read some people had some problems with the bigger pool size. So I guess you might wanna do a search for that.
And as for your question 3. I'm still trying to figure that out myself.
I know I have a G4 device, the IPL/SPL = 2.10.0001 but still I'm not quite sure which version is the best to use. e.g. the pdamobiz version says it's for 2.15.0001, it's for G4 but does that work on my device? I have no idea lol
And it also seems the Wiki isn't fully complete in that perspective. Once I know more I surely will try to update the wiki.
G4 roms on G3 device..?
Quote: Since HTC issued new IPL/SPL version 2.xx.0001, all tools that we use to cook the customize rom to be a single nk.nbf file can not be used because nk.nbf structure are different from the previous version. We were trying to hard to solve the problem. Futunately, we found the new method that save and convenince, because it will not touch with bootloader. Just active sync prophet with pc then run UPGRADE_ROM.bat.
This method can be used with any version of IPL/SPL of SPV M600, Qtek S200, i-mate JAMin, Dopod 818 Pro, XDA neo. Need not to unlock CID.
This is from the PDAmobiz thread, and if I get it right it says that you can install any rom (G3 or G4) on both G3 and G4 devices, if you just follow their instructions..
Is this true? Cause im thinking about trying their rom on my G3 device..
Can you upgrade a G3 to a G4 bootloader?
Thanks
Well, that is what I'm trying to figure out too It says so on their website although some confirmation about that might be nice.
And the filename of that ROM says it's for 2.15.0001. But I have no idea they named it like that to show it's for G4's or it's only for 2.15.0001 if you know what I mean.
And no, you cannot upgrade G3 to G4 bootloader as far as I know.
It would be really nice to know..
Im tried the "16Mb_AKU2.3_GSM02.30.21_Extrom-4PDA.ru.exe" ROM and it was really nice and fast.. Unfortunately it turned itself off in the middle of the night after just 2 days, and I can't afford to loose an important call (from work or whatever)..
Therefore im looking for a stable and still fast ROM that will work on my G3..
Just trying to speed things up...
I agree with the sentiments of Reef exactly. I am using the official I-mate ROM for my G3 Jamin. I would love to increase the speed of my device and decrease boot time from a soft reset. The 3.2 ROMs are tempting, but clearly have some showstopper problems. I was about to download and flash the 16MB AKU2.3 rom, but reading this thread stopped me. I am on call and rely on my phone 24/7.
I guess I have the same questions as Reef: Is there a rock-stable, fast 2.3 ROM with the paging file modification out there?
Is I-mate ever going to release an "official" upgraded ROM?
Does anyone have some more feedback on the cooked ROMs they're using?
Alan
At the moment I'm running AKU 2.3 with Radio ROM 2.30.21, G4 Device. And I must say it's very stable. Didn't even have to reset device yet.
I'm using: "PDAMobiz Editon Upgrade Rom for SPL 2.15.0001 v2307 - 16MB" from PDAMobiz.
Did try the AKU3 but I have to try to get it to work savely on my device, so for the moment I would say "no" to AKU3 for the Prophet...
Will test it for a week or so, will keep you all posted
By the way, as for the speed it's just slightly faster than my HTC Wizard with AKU3.2 both @ 240MHz But that could also be because of all the tweaks made to my Porphet. Will get back on this
Hi fellows,
I have a T-Mobile MDA-Vario (= HTC Wizard, = Qtek 9100, etc.)
************************************************** ****
I upraded it due to Faria's "The Definite Guide to Unlocking & ROM Upgrading G3 Wizzards" with the following files for the upgrade
* button rom; CUSTOM__RUU_Wizard_1050412_WWE_101_11210_WWE.exe (for downgrading first)
* wizard_love ROM: Wizard_Love_2.26.10.2_WWE_Novii_CF2.rar
* Xda_MiniS_LaunchROM_v154102.exe
* T-mobile adapted ROM : ruu_prodigy_226102_22610105_022511_tmous_wwe_ship. exe (Dr Puttingham)
* button rom : Wizard_Button_Rom.exe
so the momentary datas read on my MDA Vario (still a G3 device) are:
IPS: 2.26
SPL: 2.26
GSM: 02.25.11
OS: 2.26.10.02 WM v5.1.195.3
AKU: 2.3.0 (Adaptation Kit Update)
Page Pool: 12 MB
overclocked: 260 MHz
As far as I can say is this configuration a stable and robust one. Even TomTom and NavNGo iGO-8 are working fluently. As an english speaking German I really do not care about an english or german WM6-Version,
because there is not a real clean comparable German Version around. Or do you no one?
I want to use the MDA mostly as a PPC and car-Navigator (not that much as a phone). So my questions now are:
1. Does it make sense to upgrade my MDA-Vario to the new TNT 19213 Series with the WM-6 Pro Edition (i suppose MS-Office Mobile is included) by "its right"? Thanks to its right for that ROM.
2. Or should I try the Vanilla Edition with the stable running HTC_TouchFlo? Is the MDA's screen not too small?
In case somebody can recommend one, could you please tell me, which files I need for upgrading and give me a step by step procedure in case the basic proceeding should be different from Faria's Guide? How large should be the page pool for car-navigating?
Should my MDA-Vario remain as a G3 device (some recommended this) or should I turn it in to a G4? Exspecting some answer I want to thank you in advance for your help, with regards astorgus!
your phone is a G3 device,it'll remain G3 always,you cannot change it to G4 through any software or otherwise,its manufactured as G3 DOC CHIP M-System Flash chip,a G4 device is altogether a different DOC Chip version.Yes! you can change the DOC Chip or the whole Motherboard of the phone replacing it with G4 ,or buy a new G4 phone.
The present Rom running on your device is a wm5 version and a very old build,its always better to upgrade to newer version wm6,as it boosts the performance and with much better applications and programs which suite you.Definitely ,upgrading is always recommended
YUP ! TNT 19213 series is a top most Rom,but you can try others also.
As your phone is already CID unlocked,you don't need to do any other procedure to upgrade,just download the latest wm6 or wm6.1 rom and hook up the phone and flash it.It'll upgrade to the latest Rom,ENJOY !!!
Mr zabardast
Have you tried the pdaviet wiza vista 6.1 .19213 rom? is it good? whats your recomendation?
Ok - I've looked through a bunch of threads. I just want to put WM 6.1 as you get it from HTC on my Tilt.
I live in the US so I don't have access to it.
All the ROMs I see in the threads below are all customized, etc... I just want the standard WM 6.1 ROM. Where can I get instructions on how to do this?
you can dl it from:

or you can wait a few days and nothrills will be releasing a wm6.1 rom. All his roms are pure htc roms except for performance tweaks everything else is as it would come from htc themself.
Really????? I didnt know that... A good news for me.. haha
Meanwhile you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399150.
I like it... almost comparable to shogunmark's rom. You can read through the thread.. only 2 pages... maybe because of new chef, not many want to try.
I'm glad that i try... stick with it now...

You can look at my lite rom. It contains only files from MS and HTC device drivers. All custom applications have been removed. I also included the ROM Folders so you can customize it!

This is the HTC 6.1 world wide english (WWE) release.If using a Tilt you will want to install the latest Jockey 3.28 hardspl first.

You could also try the latest at&t 6.1 (almost OFFICIAL) test ROM titled ATT 19213 build with 1.65.20.29 radio. See this thread for mirrors and more...

I am using both with good results. Both are full 6.1 ROMs, are stable and contain all HTC improvements for video and general performance.
Both are very similar at their core. The at&t ROM is bloated with at&t specific features and additional junk. You can eliminate much of this from your user interface but will lose storage space.
I am running a nearly identical set of apps on both with good results.
EDIT: a newer at&t test version is now available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400276
I can see that most of the advanced chefs are cooking diamond based roms for kaiser and pure kaiser ROMs is undergoing not much change ( May be the CHEFs want more challenge ;-) ). I would personally love to see a very stable and very fast Kaiser based rom. DIamond ROM in kaiser , not doubt slows the performance....

No one can tell you what will work best for you, cause you know exactly what you want out of your phone. The best piece of advice that I or anyone else will give you is to flash a new ROM try for a view days if you like, great if not, then flash another. That is where the fun comes in.
Happy Flashing!
Have to agree...best advise is read and flash!

...and the question is ... ?
As you started your thread (and it was your 1st or 2nd post in your xda-life), you must take a good mortgage of it. Is your thread about a doubt on the way you must flash again ? About the differences between HyperDragon and Ultimate-x2 ? About differences between WM6.1 and WM6.5 ? About the best radio and SPL for this new flash ? This thread can give us a lot of juice, if you press it like a lemon. Please go back and post your Radio, SPL, and all your doubts which you think that can be important to be answered to share with other people. That's the way your thread will be useful.
I was missing when bought a Kaiser with PDA-Corner Ultimate and tried to flash another ROM. Lots of doubts assaulted me. I was afraid about bricking my device. Did not know if the radio was the good one, etc. Work about those doubts for you here and this thread will be interesting as many people will post links to "how-to" or "compatibilities"
