So please help me to obatin the right file or rom as people have called it, i have done a search and found a few things related to WM6 but not sure whats stable and right to use before bricking my xda exec.

Hi there
If the instructions are followed as written, it would be quite hard to brick your device.
As a start you could try Jwright's WM6 rom version 2.02.02, works great for me & I don't have any wifi bug (I use wifi a lot).
I say it's a good starting point as it is an executable upgrade (make sure to d/l the correct one for your device) just like the OFFICIAL roms, only it installs WM6 instead of WM5.
Download that one and give it a go.
That rom is very simple to install as it is a single executable file, with the whole package contained within.
All I did was
D/L the ROM for my device (jwrights 2.02.02, locate it in the forum).
Unrar it somewhere to my pc.
Put device into bootloader mode (power,backlight & reset) a screen with no backlight appears with the words serial vx.xx (x.xx being your version of the bootloader) you may need a torch to see it.
Connect device via usb.
Execute upgrade (file that you unrared to pc)
Once finished (about 20mins or so), unplug device & perform a hard reset (both softkeys & reset until the white option screen appears) and select "Restore" from the options. I believe it's 0 (zero).
This also upgrades your radio rom to the latest V1.15.
Happy bricking!
OOPS I mean upgrading.

Is removing or upgrading a program included in a ROM possible?

Hi,
I have a tmobile wing flashed with touch-it 2.3. The JAVA midlet manager is part of the ROM, it is an old version and I would to install a newer version. My question is, if I install a newer version will the installation be similar as an upgrade on a desktop computer or will I have 2 different versions (I am not sure it this would cause some interaction problems that is why I have tried this yet)
Or Is there any way to remove a application included in a ROM?
Thanks!

not sure about the upgrade part .. i assume the program will auto know that a newer version is being installed and will remov old ver.
as far as removing from rom, by my knowledge, the only way to do that is by extracting the rom usind the kitchen for that rom and recompiling it with stuff u want .. for this however u need to hav chef permission and kitchen

I am new with the whole cooking/flashing world, so I am not sure about the cooking thing. I will have to read about this. I guess I will have to try the upgrade thing.

Well, I tried and instead of upgrading the existing the older version of the application I have 2. This is a bit annoying since I have to install it on my already very limited internal memory. Is there ANY way to go around this, either by actually writing over the older version or removing it?
Help please!

Issues building a rom, just a few questions.

So i started building this rom for my AT&T Tilt a few days ago and i have run into a few issues i was wondering if anyone else has encounterd them and knows a fix. Ive been doing alot of searching and googleing and haven't found alot of answers.
1st i started out using alex's 3.03 winmo 6.1 htc rom. I had issues with the camera not working with radio 1.65 so i flashed to radio 1.64. But i was still having a problem with the device not doing a soft reset unless i physically push the button. So i searched around and my findings lead me to believe there is no fix for this so i need to use version 3.02. Then i went and got version 3.02 and when i rebuilt the rom everything seemed fine but there is no links to the hardware buttons in the settings applet for buttons. Is this a common issue i cant find anything about this anywhere??!
2nd when building packages sometimes they dont work... Ive built a few packages and they all turn out fine Ive run into some problems with the shortcuts but editing the initflash by hand fixes it everytime. Some packages ive made though just dont work, they install fine but when i run the app i get a component missing error, the weird thing is the cabs i used to intall these packages have no issues what so ever, an example would be frNotepad 1.2 if anyone has ever tried to turn that into a package.
Last question i have is how do you set up a defualt theme I noticed the htc theme package in alexs oem packs sets its self up as the defualt theme i looked through it did a search on cusTSK didnt find much info. So i tried to rename my theme to htc.tsk and just replace the theme file in the htc theme package but that just screwed the whole theme up.

Look for the file 47d2a96e-f0dd-40e1-8f5b-a8cdc083a165.rgu and in it is the registry key HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\Microsoft\Shell\Keys. This contains which application the hardware button will launch when pressed.
For the reset issue, 3.03 ROM have some problems. Upgrade to a more newer ROM. I created my own LITE ROM Folder similar to Alex. You can check my post at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399733. It is based on 3.28 official ROM.

When building packages, double check the initflashfiles.txt to make sure the shortcuts are correct. For the component missing error, CAB and ROM Packages is not entire identical. In CAB, you can create the shortcuts without the need for the included LNK in the packages and initflashfiles.txt, but for ROM Packages, you need both files. So basically if the CAB works, it doesn't mean the ROM Package will also work.

radio upgrade

i am using tomal v.08 ROM version in is fantastic
my radio version is 1.09
how can i upgrade my radio?
can somebody tell me in very simple steps?

hey there, go here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/poll.php?do=showresults&pollid=356
its a poll of radio roms!
choose the one you want.
go here.....
http://vidmes.com/xda/Uni/Radios/
Download the one youve chosen.
Simply put it in the directory of tomals 8.2 installer (If the installer is an exe, extract it with winrar to a directory and pop the radio rom file in.
If you run the installer it should install the radio rom and tomals rom, so remember to back up your contacts, pictures, etc as you will be asked to hard reset at the end of the install (just follow the on screen instructions).
technically if you remove tomals rom file, it should just update the radio rom but im not to sure about that, you wold have to try it for yourself! And with that i shall pass on the immortal words.
I take no resposibility for any issues you have after the upgrade

jigs it was more easier in that
just download theRU link from the samelink u provided
copy radio into Ru extraction file
and run RU
thats it
thanks anyways

but i still dont know wat r fuctions of radio how it works n wats its use?

im not totally sure myself, ive always guessed that its the bluetooth wifi and gprs that it deals with, ive never had any problems so i think i only changed it the once & didnt see any real differance.
Anyways glad you got it sorted.

In the WIKI there is a chapter of radio only upgrade with a lot of usefull info

Htc mag 3.03 rom q&a thread

i know that this is the most stable rom for magician..is there any way that i could install multiple customization tools in this rom? i was able to install mms cab but was unable to install the cab for java..these cab files came from the extrom of a 2003se..it works fine but like i said, only 1 customization cab could be installed at a time..is it possible to put an extrom on this 3.03 rom to install multiple custom cabs?

i also noticed that the LED doesnt illuminate anymore..i think this happens after using bt..a soft reset would resolve the issue..anyway, its just a minor bug..are there any cab files or any updates that i need to install for master cotulla's rom to fix the bugs? Anyway, thans master cotulla for giving life to our magicians..Pls dont stop cooking roms for us
