This Morning I have soft reset my M600 and WM6 lost my password.
So I'm dissapointed I cannot unlock anymore my phone.
I want to change my WM6 rom by another one but there is so many rom and so many bug sometime that I'm not sure to choose the good one.
I have heard that the Smart Rom is greater and this week a new rom release of this on will be done.
I wait your council

I know how to ugrade my rom Thanks.
When you read the different topics about the different ROM's you will notice that not everyone is thinking the same about every ROM. So you really should try them yourself and decide wich you like the most.

Sad part is the most stable wm6 rom is in chinese so far. I know this wouldnt help you, but you should try each rom and see for yourself. Some of them look good in the beginning, then it starts crashing within a week. Give aku 3.3 a try or re-evaluate do you really need wm6 or aku3.3 (they are no official release for prophet) anyway good luck, hope you find what you are looking for.
I'am not a Geek but after use WM6 it's appear that he is more speed and more funnyier to us as WM5. So I prefer a rom with some bug but with more powerfull instead another bugless and more slowly. I Try the WM6 Rom WM6 PDA Mobiz. Yet no big problem
I feel terrible for making such a novice post, but I figure better safe than sorry. I have been searching the forum for awhile now trying to find a definitive answer, but I haven't been able to so . . .
What is the best, or most stable release of Windows Mobile 6 available here? There are so many different versions, I just can't tell. Do I use Core 2.0 or Faria's build? WHICH faria build? Or should I choose another?
Sorry for my stupidity, but I would really like to know what to pick before I stick with one.
You're gonna get opinions from different angles, but I'd suggest going with "popularity", which comes down to the latest Faria or Xplore 2.0. There really isn't a definitive answer, just your own experience to guide you.
I'm sure either one is just fine for you, but before starting, READ EVERYTHING a number of times to ensure you understand everything you're about to partake in and possible issues. Regardless of which ROM you use, if you don't understand the basics of flashing a locked or unlocked CID phone, using the bootloader, recovering a botched load, using shelltool and the associated CABS, a registry editor... you get the picture. I'd say go with whichever seems best for you, since you'll probably end up customizing it anyway per your taste and usage. Just get the facts before you start, and hopefully prevent a headache or worse. Both are vanilla, and should be a good choice. Hope this helps.

So what is the big difference between Core and Faria's build? I see those as being the two "big" releases. I understand they're both vanilla, which I like, so I can install my own things, but what are the differences between the two?

My best suggestion would be to compare the inital posts in their threads to see what was added / changed. They both pretty good about listing updates. As far as the base image goes, from what I've found, they all originated from the same source. Maybe someone can correct me if I'm mistaken.
-Matt
I have just recently switched from Faria's rom to Xplore 2.0 and i find xplore much better, i just feel its faster. But really its all just personal opinion. Try em both out, once you get the hand of flashing it isn't really that hard JUST MAKE SURE YOU READ EVERYTHING CAREFULLY!!!. So flash one try it out, then flash the other one and try it out, then choose whichever one you liked best. Some people will say Faria's is better some will say xplore, and some will say other ones. It is really an opinion. Hope this helps
Thank you for the help! That was very prompt! I think I'm going to give Faria's a go, then probably Core 2.0. But before that, one last question -
Is a new build by Faria coming out soon? In his stickied thread about his rom and kitchen, he says "ANYway..... A V3 ROM is coming in days.......this will be a rom and not a RK.... it contains new radio stack,new windows live,new office mobile 12!,bt printing,new voice comand,new shell, etc etc....fixed windows mobile over activesync,fixed com,new default theme...and more."
So is this 'v3 rom' going to be what I want to wait for? Is that a new version of the vanilla, base rom I want? I'm not interested in the kitchen (which I assume is the "rk") but instead just want a clean rom which I can install a few programs on. So, should I wait for this next release?
i've tried both core 2 and faria. I like Faria better. the speed seemed to be the same and it came with everything I need. I'm on core 2 right now and it is missing a few things I want. plus there are a few bugs that bother me. and the MMS isn't working for me like it did in Faria. I work for t-mobile so I know the settings are correct. I'm waiting for the new Faria, I can't wait for that.
I really don't know much about his new ROM, but if you want you can wait, i waited for Xplore 2.0 to come out, but you never know how long you'll have to wait for it, as every new version will have fixes and stuff. If you want to go ahead and wait, it will save you the trouble of having to get all your programs and settings back, but if you really hate the ROM your on now, go ahead and switch, and then update again when the new one comes out. I always wait a couple of days when a new ROM comes out as to see if there are any big problems that people report and get answered that way when i flash it i am ready for the problem and know how to fix it. But thats just my 2 cents. (don't really know when to use this phrase, but i always wanted to say it, sorry if it doesn't make sense. )

NBD 5.1 ? ..
its not overloaded, stable as rock, and mem/speed is optimal. just ROM for agerage user, imo.
for people, that are in need for speed and space, theres xplore 2.0, or 1.1, its cleaned from some apps.
this may be good:

hi.. i have a htc 8125 wizard, and i want to install wm6 to it, but i dont know what to do, yesterday i follow the cid unlock turtorial, mine is a G3, i want a good wm6 rom... if i could be original one of htc it would be great i need some help please, which one is the best for my wizard
I have an 8125 and I've tried a few... the NBD v. 9.1 not only looks nice, but comes with all the toys you'd want on it. It's also the only one that so far hasn't rebooted, froze, or basically not worked right. All the others gave me problems. NBD is stable, I hear less complaints from that compared to Black Diamond, for instance.

There's no official WM6 for the Wizard. Just follow the Wiki to know how to unlock your phone, then READ to choose which Rom suits your needs...
Read each one in this forum before you try. I looked them over and the best one i like was Touch No Evil. And I'm truly pleased. Was Decent in speed even without overclocking.
Went from a Molski Biz Wm5 rom. Faria makes popular roms too.
Just read each one.
You should give TNT5.0 a try. There are 3 different versions available for download. I personally have the touchflo edition installed on my phone and love it.
Please modify your thread name to better reflect your problem.
That way maybe more people may help you.
Also, please don't start a new "Which rom is the best" thread, as this has been asked too many times and you will only get different opinions. Try and see what you like, don't let others tell you that.
thans a lot
thanks a lot people, the only think that i dont understand is if this roms are based on WINDOWS MOBILE 6 or are modifed from WINDOWS MOBILE 5.... i want only wm6 thanks a lot..
As already said, WM6 was never officially released for the Wizard, so all the Custom Roms are based on other devices' WM6 Roms, and thus have a few bugs...
tmda?
in the unlock guides i see a wizards love and other tmda roms, for what is those? i think them are wm6 but that wizard love is so slow im tryin farias ripght know and i like it but its a little slow... another thing when i use windowws live it copy all my messenger contacts to the phone and all my mobile phone numbers dissapear thanks a lot.please i neeed one like Schap's 3.60a rom for hermes.. thanks a lot guys....
*SIGH* Just READ guy!
java
hi again guys i have some problems executing a software java that uses bluetooth, any idea how can i fix it thanks a lot....
Great looking forum here and great to see all the people offering so much support. Had my Wizard for about a year and now its out of warranty I thought i'd have a play . Theres obviously a few tutorials to follow before flashing a ROM, but i was just going to say, I regularly get Connection Error while trying to flash other ROM's onto this phone. I tried to flash Schaps WM6 ROM to it, but it said connection error. However I have sucessfully flashed the T-mobile 2.26 ROM twice, therefore I am not sure if its the phone or the rom or what. Do you reckon if i follow those tutorials it will sort the connection error issue, or is that a problem with my PC. I have a few WM6 on my PC, crossbow, helmi, etc etc, so i was wondering which you recommend etc. Thanks very much, hopefully ill be able to input something when i learn a bit more
follow the tutorials,
be sure you are cid /sim unlock
only flash roms found in the wizard forum, not on other devices forum, roms are device specific
happy flashing

Schaps rom is for HERMES
If you want to brick your PDA, then be bold and try roms designed for other devices, but you will certainly BRICK IT
If you have a HTC Wizard then, just like the man before me said, do the following :
Find out if your device is a G3 or a G4
If it's a G3 CID Unlock it (not same as SIM Unlock !!!). If it's a G4, then check the G4 Forum to see what you can do.
Choose a rom that you like most but make sure that it's designed for WIZARD, so i suggest only search in the Wizard forum.

Ah right, thanks for that guys, im very glad i didnt flash it with a other ROM now. I certainly don't want to brick it, although it is insured for a while so i could happen to drop it haha
Are there any ROMs you can recommend to me . I am always up for trying them
ok, i think ive CID Unlocked my phone now. Dropped it to Button 1.05 did the lokiwiz bat then dropped it again to bring my SPL down. Ive just put on the t-mobile 2.21 ROM, now am I ready to upgrade to WM6? or do i need to put 2.26 on? Cheers

That is a ROM Kitchen that has pretty much every option you could want in it! Very stable base, and many many options. and if you have any questions, they have probably already been answered in that thread, and if not, "theloon"(the creator) will answer them for ya. Right now its one of the best IMO, and especially for what you are looking for.

hi
As u have still not flashed any wm6 roms as yet, I wud rather suggest first flash and install a couple of cooked roms from others,just to have the feel of them and get used to the newer features added in them. Only when u get urself comfortable with them and understand their working,and above all r successful in flashing roms,inly then start thinking about cooking ur own rom.
There r a couple of very fantastic build Roms by excellent cookers here in this Forum u can start off with e.g
faria's "The real thing Rom",
Mfraaz " Xm6r3"
it's right " Tnt 5 or his Latest Professional+HTC Home"
Xplorer1.1 etc etc
They r all cooked for Wizards specifically.Just search the forum or hit the 'SEARCH' button above,
Welcome to the Flashing lunatics Forum
Happy Flashing
Just put on WM6 TNT1437 and am really impressed. Didnt take long to flash and didnt have any problems with it hanging Runs like a beast, dead quick and I am really impressed with this whole cube thing it seems a bit of useless fun hehe . although there is like a red, yellow and green line at the top of the screen. is that normal?
Okay, I feel a fool Thats the battery meter haha This is great. Its dead fast and runs a lot smoother. I think i am going to like this whole cooking your own Windows thing
Thanks
Grrrrrrrrrrr8

Glade to hear,that u have upgraded and enjoying it
it's a whole new experience.
If u don't feel comfortable with TouchFLO and the cube,than I'll suggest u flash the other equally excellent Professional + HTC Home Rom,u'll even like it much better.
If u dont want multicolor battery bar(comes by default) at the top,u can disable by open WinXplore then startup folder and remove battery level.lnk (you can use file explorer on the folder windows/startup)

Done and I like Now i want to cook my own ROM's make my own skins and get voIP on
congrats man , great feeling right
Rather than starting a new thread ill ask in this one, has anyone got Farias Camera cab Cheers
I have an AT&T Tilt (had it almost 2yrs) running the WM 6.1. I called HTC the other day about an update to 6.5. The technician said there was not one and that the Tilt was near end of life and that there not going to be anymore updates. If that is the case, I'm thinking of flashing a new ROM. Can anyone give any advice on what one I should use. I'm not very computer literate and want something that will be easy to use and maximize my device. It almost literally has become my brain and I depend on very much.
Also, if this posting has been placed in the wrong area please forgive my ignorance and, if possible, may the administrators place it in the correct area.
Thanks for any/all advice in advance.
Well, sadly there is no ROM called as good ROM here. It all depends on what you use your phone for and where you live!
Try reading through ROM threads, and see what suits your needs. Best advise is "Keep reading and keep flashing!". Good luck.
try abusalza new ver. cook ROM either ultimate x2v8 wm6.5 or ultimate x2v9 wm6.5...
it look nice to my kaiser n run perfectly...

Then why do you want to upgrade ? The phone does everything you want, it is easy to use, dependable, it is " your brain " , what do you think WM 6.5 is going to do for you. ?
We all flash because we all define the phrase " give me more " . We flash because enough is never enough. New is waaay better than stable or dependable ( how are those mega packages working out for y'all )
Stick with 6.1 until it is time for a new phone with WM 7 loaded.
hahaha..can't wait for wm7..

I would stick with what this guy says. Any rom you use besides stock is going to give you fits of frustration the only reason I kept flashing was for my data and internet I was not happy with the offerings of stock att rom but grew very frustrated with most of the cooked roms If I had found opera mini before all those other roms I might not have had the need to keep flashing. I have since found Android and the only time I see windows is when I am doing an update to Android. If what you have now suits you then keep it.

I'm gonna say exactly the same if you happy with stock stick with it, if you want something more special and are happy to flash untill you find a custom ROM you want then join the flashers anonymous
I'ld go to say the same, if you're happy with stock ROM, then don't change.
BUT...
If you're frustrated with what stock ROM gives you (that happened with my permanently-freezing-Herald-stck-ROM till I flashed a good ROM there), then take a surf on the ROM Kaiser pages here at xda-dev's and then try to do all the steps ( hard-SPL, radio mod's, unlock if locked, etc. ) and then, flash the ROM you think is better for you (what are you asking to a device ? I'm using it to write, calculate, draw, sketching, photo, wifi nav', gps in the forest, let my daughter play... - maybe I'ld chose a different ROM to play games or watch videos)
I think almost every ROM here is "better" than the stock ROM and you'll find a good WM6.5 if you're searching speed, reliability, good RAM... and this will give you a loooooong Kaiser life.
But, as Denco7 says, this means you are always asking "more" and more and more.

Make backup and give yourself a try with new rom`s. if you dislike - you always can return to were your begin. I believe you underestimate this possibility of kaiser.
Go for it!
I was in the same place you are, wondering if I should flash, and why. But, If I'm going to spend this much time with a device, why not pretty it up and make it a LOT more functional. The new 6.5 roms are beautiful, more functional, and easier to use, especially compared to the butt ugly 6.1, and if you're not going to buy a new device with WM7 on it then I say flash away man, you can get so much more out of your Kaiser. Have a look at TPC Elite V9. Enjoy.
StoneyBK and Marckc2
Yes, having a stock ROM capable for your needs, is enough. But if you begin to flash, and to investigate, you'll maybe acquire more and more acknowledgement about the TyTNII and WM, so that you'll be here answering and maybe cooking (and posting) your own ROMs.
Amazing work being done
It depends on what you want. I picked up my Tilt on ebay, because I wanted a PDA/phone (w/wifi). I'm a little bit of a tweaker, and wanted to make the most of this phone. I ended up here, read throught the newbie stuff, worked up the steam to flash a hard SPL, then flashed Sakajati's Hyper IV Rhodium, and was amazed; fast, functional, stable, with some flash as well. The only problem is being content. . . the developments keep ramping up. I think my tilt is farther advanced than most smart phones currently offered on ATT's upgrades. (maybe ignorance is bliss. . but I don't think so) There appear to be a number of chefs doing amazing work. Look around, read the comments. If you take the next step and like it . . . buy the chef some coffee. . .
