Looking for a ROM to flash my Universal but there are just to many of them. Which one is really good, fast and stable? Are there any German ROM#s available besides the T-Mobile one?
Thanks

Depend exactly your needs, try to do a SEARCH on this forum, at least you will find 6 marvellous ROM´s.
Personally I would recommend Tomal ROM´s as in my experience gives the best performance-stabilty and support
Good luck
I have just updated with this rom but there are quite a few problems. Firstly some of the language is in german as it was previously before the flash. The radio is still version 0.0.0 as it was after i used the unlocker. Also is there is still the tmobile logo on boot up which i hope i can somehow get rid off.
Any help is much appreciated.

Perhaps some master of more knowledge can give us a clue, I honestly don´t know why is happening that.
My only recommendation would be to have a good look into the Wiki, over there you will find out how to install a different radio version when you upgrade a ROM.
Also in the Universal section there is a post (Don´t remember exactly where) where you can learn to change your bootsplash screen. I made it and it´s easy.
Good luck
Tomal´,s black edition for shure..
Impossible to say for sure as the matter is that one rom may run well with a HTC uni but might have lots of problems with another HTC uni. This is the truth, even though the two PPC are of the same kind. It seems to be strangge but happens to my EXEC. Now DarkForcesTeam's latest rom has no broblems with my phone so I currently use it.
No one can answer this question for you, you need to try different ones and find out the best for your PPC.
Get the new Tomal v8.2...

Personally have not tested 1.11
I have tested 1.08, 1.15, 1.17 and 1.18 and 1.17 and 1.08 proved to be the best rated in less power consumption
thanks a lot

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...

im pretty new at all this but ive got a good grasp of PPCs but when i read through these threads i just cant make sense of some of it.
So, can someone explain (simply) which ROM should I download to upgrade my Universal from WM5 to WM6 and do I have to use that UniversalRUU program do it?
Please please help me.

Look here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
It's all very well explained.
As to which version of wm6 should put, it depends on you.
Greetings.
I use the crossbow 2.12.08 version. Initially with radio 1.15 then upgraded to radio 1.18.
Reason is that roaming with radio 1.18 seems to be better. but so far is seems only more unstable.
However the Crossbow is very nice and I can not find any major problems.
Very satisfied and been using it for some months now.
The link is easily found on this forum and after the download you simply connect the pda to your computer, unzip the program on your computer and run the application.
the rest is easy. no big issues or special knowledge required.
note my pda already was unlocked
just give it a try !
or download some wm6 and wm5 versions and try each one.
the installation is easy and more or less the same. probably best start trying the wm5 and then move on to wm6
good luck!
Hey all. First of all, I'd like to thank all all the chefs creating ROM tutorials for newbs like me. I'm in japan and have 2 Kaisers, 1 is emobile's emonster, the other is from HTC and I'm using Softbank.
I wanted to extract emobile's ROM and flash it to my HTC so I would have 2 kaisers using emobile.
After going through all the tutorials, I successfully dumped and cooked the emobile ROM and created the nbh file. After flashing the HTC Kaiser with the emonster rom and powering it on, I get to the setup screen (it's in japanese so I guess I flashed the ROM correctly), but nothing happens after tapping the screen (none of the taps are getting recognized).
Has this happened to anyone after flashing? I tried a hard reset but the same thing happens. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks!
some technical details of the emonster
WM6
Rom Version 2.5.881.0 JPN

I'm in japan too. And I'm Korean.
Sorry can't well english & japanease.
But, I bueyed emonster 3. 28. 2008.
1 day after(3. 29. 2008) come this forum & flashing then using well.
Maybe You something wrong.
Try other rom one more.
Try to cook the ROM with the HTC drivers on it, (touch screen ones) because maybe theres a little difference between the Emobile one and the HTC one!!

Can you point me in the right direction on how to include the HTC Drivers? Is it like a package I download and add while I'm cooking? I googled HTC drivers but came up with nothing.

Extracting them from a wwe rom and then cooking the emobile rom with them inside!!

Thanks so much for the quick reply!! I will try this tonight when I get home from work!!!
(Y) good luck, curiously, here is at night now xD
and a little question, does the emonster have the video drivers?? (for hardware acceleration )
by reading your first post again, a lot of ideas are coming to my mind right now, one is:
it could be the RADIO, that maybe is incompatible with the HTC kaiser, because the emonster has a different one or not? (f: 1700mhz)
and the HTC one doesnt have this freq.
so, maybe the radio is having issues with the current system because of hardware incompatibility.
No enhanced video drivers aside from radio weirdness it shoul be just like any of the windoze 6.0 Kaisers.

Thanks for your suggestion. I just recooked the rom with a touch.dll from an WWE rom as you suggested but nothing happens when tapping the screen.
You and Dejanet are correct that the emonster is on a 1.7Ghz frequency. So if there's any other suggestions you may offer, I'm all ears.
As Dejanet stated, unfortunately there are no improved video drivers
Thanks again...it's been a learning experience extracting, cooking, and flashing. I just don't know where to go from here...so close.....but soooooo far away hehe
do you know if emobile works on another frequency??..
if yes, you could try to cook the OS only, and use the emobile ROM with a RADIO from HTC. (obviously a compatible one, with your WM6 or WM6.1 )
give it a try ..
Since my goal was to get the phone switched to english. I tried flashing several of the OS only ROMS available here and ended up with a perfectly functional PDA but no phone.
could you provide the emonster ROM?
i'll try to get it compatible with the radio and a radio compatible with it..
We don't have access to the actual rom here is a link to the 4 raw files from a rom dump if that will help.
http://rapidshare.com/files/119668150/emonster_raw.zip
will sound really stupid but i cant (dont know) build the rom with the raws... (something is not working well )(( or maybe im stupid ))
dejanet: thanks for uploading the raws.
Isaygarcia: what files do you exactly need? Thanks for offering to help. Really appreciate it! And to reply to your previous post, no unfortunately emobile doesn't work with another frequency.
i dont know how to reconstruct the rom based on raw files xDU... (( yes im stupid..)) ((( but im just 18 years old --.-- )))

There are plenty of posts here at XDA that would have told you that as of now, this radio version can not be downgraded.
The search function is a beautiful thing ....
re
I have same problem, and have found WM6 (one of the official ROW roms) works ok with 1.54.30.10. WM6.1 is much worse.
If you are having a lot of problems dropping calls etc try going back to an official WM6 ROM.

I don't have this version. but this version is used by the main carrier's official WM6 ROM so it can't be that bad would it?
@ronin0215
I have not tried this so I am not sure if it works. But I have an idea. If you install the hard SPL from Olipro. In step 2, it writes an older radio file (I think it was 1.15 or something) onto the device. if it works then you can flash it with any version of radio you like.
Hi to everybody
i'm new of this forum and a noob too .
I've gotten a HTC Universal G3 version.
I've read a lot of threads about flashing Htc Universal but the most of them are refering to Htc Wizard.
I have a laptop with Windows Vista OS, and i would like to flash my Universal G3 version with an updated ROM, possibly a stable version of WM6.5 (or 6.1, it's the same)
Could you show me le last, simple and secure way to do this ?
I'm very confusing, so anyone can help me, do it !!!
Many thks

P.S. Does it exist an hacking hardware guide to change Wifi module from 802.11b to 802.11g ?

Welcome to the forum
By now not any wm6.5 is STABLE, and if it´s your first time flashing I would strongly recommend to install a 6.1 stable ROM, for that I can recommend Tomal 8.5 or 8.81 ROM´s, they are just great!!
Also if you can flash in XP is easier than in Vista. anyway here instructions for flashing with vista http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001
For learning how to, please reade the Wiki here:

Hello,
Welcome to the forum,
I would strongly stick with what Orb says here and stick to 6.1. as well as 6.5 being very new, it also uses a lot of ram to run. you find yourself having to reset to reclaim used ram. To start using 6.5 you need a 128mb upgrade.
TAKE YOUR TIME, do nothing until you are SURE you know what to do!
Have fun
Jay

Just by reading these guides have become confused.
The first thing i woud like to understand is what you can see in bootloader mode:
when i put my PDA in bootloader mode i can see only a dark monitor with this 2 writtens :
upward : "serial"
bottom : "v1.00"
This is my IPL/SPL version ? So if i've understood well my PDA it's a G3 model, is it right ?
Looking at this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
i've understood i need to downgrade my PDA to 1.05 ROM, but mine have 1.00 ROM (look upward, refering to booloader mode), so this step will be not a downgrade for me, is it right ?
Could you help to understand this first things ?
Bye
johnjohnmel
HI
You're doing OK! it is indeed a G3 and when you plug it in to the pc's usb it will say USB instead of serial. now follow THIS to upgrade your bootloader. its off the WIKI HERE. read it, it will tell you loads. The biggest problem you will have is running Vista, I only use XP so I cant help you there.

EDIT...............just spotted THIS about Vista, hope it helps.

Hello,
I would now suggest you download a good stable rom, such as TOMALS 8.5 STANDARD build rom onto your today screen connect your pda into the USB port and then follow the instructions for flashing in vista it will then load onto your pda. Now hard reset.
thats it! You can try others later on but its best to try a good solid stable rom first. Like I said use the standard build first.

Hi, thanks a lot. Finally i solved.
It's MORE SIMPLE that it could seem.
So it's not more necessary to CID-unlock and to download UniversalRUU, becuase in the last ROM there is just inside program to upload new ROMs.
Maybe it's necessary to change WIKI instrunctions.
What do you think ?

Indeed it seems it doesn't function at all GPRS with my Tim italian Network. I've to try UMTS with 3 italian network.
Maybe it's a RADIO Rom version problem.

System tray is one way to add icons to the home screen, however they only appear in a row at the bottom and it is a bit of a fiddle. you might be better off adding a third party software like mobile shell 3.0 to your rom so you can customise your PDA.
