I need a new Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM for my Tornado device!! - HTC Tornado

I think I've downloaded and tried all of the ROMs here, but I think some of them just made it worst! I tried the new release of the ROM (forgot its name), such big fonts and errors, no threaded SMS, no splashscreens. Some ROMs just too slow, some are fast, some requires too many applications, some just take too much memory.
So, where can I download the original Windows Mobile 6.1 Standard? I really want a ROM that doesn't have any pre-installed programs.

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=375670 thats your best shot for a clean OEM 6.1 rom enjoy

thanks..

There is no original WM6.x ROM for the Tornado. All WM6.x ROMs are custom made and they usually meet the needs of their cook.
If you need something original, install WM5 - if you need a clean WM6.1 ROM, install the one rafyvitto mentioned above. But you must know that a "clean" version does not nessessarily mean more free internal storage.

Best WM 2005 ROM

Dear All,
I would like to ask what is the latest WM2005 ROM version? and is it the best ROM? if not then what is the best version? I have found some on buzzdev.net but I don't know because this my first unofficial upgrade.
I have XDA II with loader 1.01.
Thanks a Lot,
they are all based on the same core rom with improvements
newer versions == more improvements
other then that it's all about how big a ramdisk they are installed
hi rudegar,
sorry, but I must disagree.
they are not based on the same core...
and there's much more differencies, than just size of RAMdisk.
take care
buzz
and what the difference between rom kitchen n rom?? i've read the post by buzz in buzzdev.net, there is 40mb in rom kitchen n 20mb in rom.. what type should i use??
thanx
Updates are good

I agree with Buzz.
I think that windows mobile 5.0 is based on windows CE 5.0 architecture and there can be updates to both and the size of a ram disk is not that important as long as a device is capable of running your desired apps without running out of program memory. A newer roms is likely to run better and be more compatible with apps but can still contain bugs. I think that I got more performance from reg editing and ocing that upgrading from 2003se to 5.0 but i always try a new rom.
Buzz do you use ms voice command and any idea on the problem it has with AKU 3.2?
p.s. a rom kitchen is where roms are cooked!
"I think that windows mobile 5.0 is based on windows CE 5.0 architecture"
well we all agree on that one
the place that buzz set to streigth was when i said that
all windows mobiles were based on the same leaked 2005 rom
What I have seen is ROMs based on AKU 2, AKU 2.3, and AKU 3.2. of course each with it's own personal customization and may be some tweaks for performace. From the experiance what is the main differances between AKU versions and what is the best customization from the features and the performace point of view?
I have tried all the wm05 roms here but i got nothing but the sad thought that i don't have a compatible wm5 device. All of them have many flaws and none of them work correctly or as fast as they should be.. not even 03se. After many upgrades and downgrades i found out that the best one is the qtek rom and nothing else. It wasn't suposed to work on wm5 so don't upload versions with bugs and so... try to get a version that will not move slow, will have all the original programs, all the original programs will work and let the user install whatever he wants, don't make roms with preinstalled programes because that only makes them work slow .
Try AKU 3.2 ROM as they r latest and the stable one .
agree with you. stable and fast.

are you serious or are you just a plank? this rom is not for the wizard.
A plank? I reworked it with imgfs tools using a base wizard image. If it doesn't work then I'll flash it back. Not like I'm messing with the bootloader or anything...

nevermind the xip section etc........but hei....good luck!
I believe mUm can extract some files and put it into a Wizard rom.
What will be about the Htc P4350? The hardware is not really different to the wizard. Will there be a way to extract the WM6 ROM (comming on O2 germany in 2 weeks) and transform to wizard????
So what about the XIP section? ;(~
I had to reflash from SD, heh. Trust the expert. But at least I knew enough to backup... Funny but as you said, with many of the files the bin diff was equal. Only 39 files actually changed after all that "progress". So I guess your ROM is different If a way newer Universal ROM is only 39 files different than my baseline Orwell dump then it makes me wonder what the heck Microsoft is doing with all those thousands of people and billions of dollars...
AFAIK mun already ported this rom to wizard, but he won't give it to other ppl=)

[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.

Original Windows Mobile 6.1 Port

Hi,
My name is Baron. I own a HTC P4350 PPC. I was wondering if there is any port of the Original WM 6.1 version for the Herald without any customizations. I have been trying different versions of each cook's 6.1 versions but I don't know. I like them but I guess I like things to be original lol. I really like the TouchFLO, its awesome. But if there is anyone who can help me out or even let me know how to aquire 6.1 and teach me how to port it would be nice. Maybe I can be a cook or something. But I guess that would need the help of all of you. I am familiar with flashing Heralds at the moment and of course last year I was flashing Motorolas with Motorola's custom OS not the ones with WM. Anyway thanks for your time and I hope I can be seen as a cook around here or something. Oh, don't forget about the original WM 6.1

There was never an original WM6.1 for the Herald. You'll have to cook your own ROM using a WM6.1 base and port it using a stock 6.0 Herald ROM without any kind of customizations except for a lot of the customizations needed to fix all the bugs that will arise from simply sticking both bases together. The original ROM tends to be slow and buggy, though... What about the original ROM do you like? There might already be a ROM that has those features.
Thanks for your fast response. I knew there was never a actual 6.1 release for the Herald, I was just wondering if anyone ported the original release to work with a Herald. But with what you said about it being buggy, I never thought about that but I guess that would make sense, but I have seen some custom ROMs with 6.1 and flashed them myself to see how it would work and these 6.1 versions were not bad at all, especially with TouchFLO. So I guess my question is, how were they able to cook a 6.1 version? They had to have picked up an original to modify it if I'm correct. As I said I would like to learn how to cook as well so if anyone has time to help me learn at least the basics that would be appreciated. I can learn more myself if I know the basics.

I have a few threads dedicated to teaching how to cook. It's just the basics but it's enough to get you started.
Every 6.1 ROM here has been made by porting a 6.1 from another phone (there is no "original" per say as new versions are released all the time.) using the OEM of an original HERALD 6.0 ROM but modifying it heavily, making a custom XIP (kind of like the kernel and all the stuff related to it) from both the ported ROM and the older ROM, and then adding their own apps and tweaks.
In my case, I also do a heavy amount of stripping of useless files.
I'm kind of on the same page. I'd love to find an unmodified wm6.1. I've tried a couple of them, and they're all great, but they also have a bunch of stuff loaded in them or different versions of apps. I'd like to find a wm6.1 load that JUST has the org wm6.1 apps in it and nothing else. No mods, no alternative apps, skins, etc.

then take an original WM6 and behappy with that...belive me ivansstripped wm6.1 ONLY have tweaks that are really useful...to correct the crappy MS waste....
If you do NOT wantto correct that crap...go with an original WM6...it the same
same here
I am also looking for this...
I am VERY new to cooking and have not been able to manage to Dump any of the 6.1 ROMs. (I must be missing something)
I would like to start with an "original" ROM that I can play with and try to build my own custom ROM

I guess I'm having a hard time understanding what "original" means. If you just want something clean and stripped that you can add whatever you want into it, then any of my ROMs will do.
To ivanmmj
I guess by original I meant base 6.1 ROM but since there is not an official 6.1 base ROM for Herald I was just trying to figure out how the other cooks were able to get 6.1 in their releases so I could cook up my own 6.1 for me and possibly upload it for someone to test or use. But it's ok, you already answered that for me but maybe you can point me in the right direction. I've been hearing that a Kaiser 6.1 ROM is easy to port to the Herald. But let me know how you were able to port it. I read some of your tutorials and I'll definately give it a try as soon as I get the time. Possibly this Sunday or so.

If you're looking for a bug free base, you might be better off just using one of my ROM as a base (since I tend to release the kitchen files for my ROMs.)
I have a post somewhere here about SYS and XIP porting. Find it and follow that. It works fine with kaiser ROMs.
Thanks! I don't know if I have tried your ROMs yet. I'll give it a go.
From what I have been able to gather (not very much) is that some ROM have their RGU files removed, making it imposible to Dump the ROM. When I try to open with the Package Tool nothing happens?

Actually, some ROMs are even encrypted...
In my case, all my ROMs are released WITH the kitchen files in case you want to make your own version. All that I ask is that you mention where the base came from since the base took a long time to make.
I don't know if this is the right place for this post.... and forgive my ignorance again.
I just can't get the Kitchen to work with any 6.1 ROM. I have tried JustMe and I follow exactly the same steps as with the original ROM. I just can't get a poputated OEM or SYS folder. What am I missing?

...Original rom?
There isnt a true original rom. Theres a base, which cannot be loaded on herald unless is ported with original 6.0 (which is ment for herald).
So. basically it looks like this:
Base 6.1 + Original 6.0 = herald 6.1
(original) (port)
you cant just use a base for a rom. you can port it, then extract what u want and dont want though (which theretically will turn yer ported 6.1 into an "original" one)
I managed to port a 6.1 rom following ivanmmj tutorial, quoted below.
" How to port a SYS folder
1. Open your old SYS folder and copy the .VM and WinCENLS_WWE folders into your new SYS folder
2. Go to your old SYS\Shell and copy shell32.exe and shellres.dll into your new SYS\Shell
3. Replace the old SYS folder with the new one. "
but I only did step 1 and did not do step 2. It worked and seems stable.

The Shell32.exe doesn't always have to be ported, but if you port a ROM that comes with a different dpi, you need to use your old shell32.dll (unless you want to manually convert it into the proper DPI...)

Windows Mobile Stock ROMs?

Hi Guys,
do any of you uni fans have stock roms of;
Windows Mobile 5
Windows Mobile 6
Windows Mobile 6.1
Windows Mobile 6.5.x
i would much appreciate these stock roms (you can find them/get them)
Have you checked here:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Universal/
And
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_Upgrades
well ive check the ftp.... but not the wiki
just checked the wiki, and the download link for WM5 form teh 02 website is broken (as its propably out dataed =])
Hi Simon
To be honest, the only real true Stock roms are WM5 roms. WM6.x never made it to the Universal officially.
Jay
True,
But could u try n find a nearish stock ROM.
i know the Artemis as a WM6 stock rom with a little RMA differnece.
but i like to uni to work... so i ant gonan try flashing it =]
Hi Simon
The closest thing to a stock rom on here now is thingonaspring's 1.2 rom on WM6.1. no video call of course but its very very good. Loads of ram left over. WM6.5 is a bit of a non starter for the 64mb machine as it eats to much ram.
Jay
true,
atm i'm running:
Tomal's V10 64bt.. and its ok.. but i have to install every program to the SD card to keep it running quick,
but my latest plan is it ge my HTC Alphine (XDA lli) to run WIndows Mobile 6.1
cottula is trying... and im waiting in hope =]
