Hello I'm a big fat noob. I was wondering if it was possible to just flash ANY old wm6 rom to my 8125 after I have taken all the steps in the newbies guide up to the point of flashing. The guide told me to pick a rom. Can I use any wm6 rom? I would really like something more touch, like a diamond rom or something with touchflow. I'm using a T-Mobile WM5 ipl/spl 3.08 as used as example in the guide. It'son a Cingular 8125. If I can flash just any rom and have it be compatible with my phone, does anybody know a good rom to use? Please help, as I said, I'm a noob.
You must choose a ROM that was designed for your specific device as the ROM's are device specific - Diamond ROM for Diamond - Vogue ROM for Vogue - Elf Rom for Elf - Etc.... get the picture.
OK, thanks alot, I would hate to brick my phone over a stupid mistake like that! Does anybody know of a good WM6 Touch-flow rom for an HTC wizard? I hate the interface with the stylus and would like something more like the large touch buttons and display styles of the Diamond is why I wanted that one. Like I said I'm a noob and just not sure what I can actually use on my 8125

Does this section cover the HTC S720 model? i see its the S710 but there the same arent they?
I just want to know if im able to upgrade to 6.1WM or if theres nothing out yet for my model...
Same for ring tones and themes and other cool apps.
s720 = CDMA version of s710
hi CaNe, welcome to the forum
http://tech-faq.phonedog.com/cell-phone-research/htc-s720.aspx said:
The HTC S720 is the CDMA version of the popular and very capable S710. Sporting a slightly different look, the S720 shares basically all of the same specs as its sibling the S710. Key features include a 2.0 mega pixel camera, Window Mobile 6 operating system, slide out QWERTY keyboard, stereo bluetooth and an expandable memory slot (micro SD).

ringtones and apps should work w/o problems on your HTC s720 (aka HTC Libra). for upgrading to a new ROM i'm not sure, i think here we need more info about the libra (what version has the spl, ipl, is it unlocked, what for a CID, and so on).
maybe one of the cooks could help here with more knowledge than /me .
also have a look at the wiki, sometimes really helpfull and always interersting VOX Wiki Pages.
i hope i could help you a little bit, enjoy your stay at xda-dev!
It has CDMA not GSM, therefore other drivers are needed. Extract a ROM for the S720 (if you find one, otherwise get it from the device itself). Then replace the OEMDrivers folder from a Vox ROM and cook a ROM with that. That should be a start, but I don't know if you can use the Vox USPL. So no idea if you will be able to flash it.

And thank YOU sir, that was alot of help, im going to go read that thread now and see what i am able to do with my phone.
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
I’ve been trying out a few different ROMs since I got my Wizard like 4 days ago. Im going to try and put all the WM6 ROMs here to download since there all over the forum. Still A lot more to try out. Im including the Forum link for Discussion and Download link of my own.

i've read everything in the link u gave me
still i dont have an answer if there's rom that will make my device look and function exactly like the htc touch cruise
noup!
he sends you to the Guide for newbbes to unlock and get winmobile 6 or 6.1 on his wizards..... so if you want in your wizard the same os that you have in you touch go here...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=328917
if you want the cube just download it, search for tnt cube 1933 1620 and earlier cab
maybe the os 1620 is more glossy but you can try the 1933 from him too.

Probably. Try the TNT PRO ROM, and load the cube separately. Nobody's cooking with the cube any more. Manila is the new flavor du jour. Frankly, I think you'd be much happier with Hornet 4.5...
thank u so much
u helped turning me from a newbie to an expert
in the past couple of days i flashed my device more than 10 times
i unlocked my cid too
after trying different roms i finally settled on nbd v.9.2 it looks exactly like htc touch and its so fast too
it includes touch flo and cube
thank u again
Hi first time poster.
I am the proud owner of a HTC touch pro 2.
Ive been reading on this site about the different roms eg Manila but goodness im so confused, im not really that tech pro. In my settings screen it says "TouchFlo 3D 2.1.38158.2", after some reading on this site it seems to me thats the manila version. is that right? if so how do i upgrade it so i can use the custom themes and skins.
Also i have windows 6.1 on my device atm. should/can i flash it? If so what is the recommended rom to put on (if thats the right way to put it)
Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard
have a deep read here to learn hot to upgrade your ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
You can upgrade to wm6.5 if you want.
I can recommend Energy ROM´s
Leo= Manila 2.5 (slower for Rhodium)
Phoenix2= Manila 2.1 (better for Rhodium)
Good luck and enjoy!
thank you so much for your reply.
I just flashed my fone with hardspl but have yet to install a rom.
should i (do i have to) update my wm6.1 to wm6.5 to use the Energyroms?
i guess another way to put that question is, is it worth installing roms on my 6.1 or is it just simply better and wiser to upgrade to 6.5 and then flash a rom?
Give it a try!
Don´t be afraid, if you follow instructions all should be ok
And if you don´t like 6.5 you can always move it back easy!
thank you so much for your replies.
I cant seem to locat.e an upgrade rom for my fone and ive searched these and other forums like crazy, ive googled everything, been on the HTC website i just cant seem to locate it.
Rom version : 1.19.707.2 (51489)
Rom Date: 06/22/09
Radio Version: 3.55.25.27
Protocol Version: 61.25t.25.19U
Thats the infromation on my fone. i put up a thread in another forum and they just showed me the google link for the search and closed the thread. The search didnt help at all. Does anyone know where i can find the update FOR THIS.
Thank you so much
Do a search for Energy ROM´s
