Hello. I have been lurking in these forums for a while now, reading, learning. I want to flash to a new rom and wm6.5, but I am very confused. I've read the stickies and wikis and searched for a simple answer, but most of the thread titles and bodies read like sanskrit. I can follow the directions on how to flash, but I really have no idea what to flash. There are so many options and no real explanation on whats what. Some roms require extra downloads, some are full, or complete? I don't really want a lot of crap software on there... will my 6.1 cabs work on a cooked 6.5 rom? Not every rom works with every radio, and some don't come with...? I guess I am wondering why the choosing and downloading of a rom and all other necessary files can't be simplified. Is it just because you guys are developing them so fast? I am not a total noob. But it is clear that most of you guys are light years ahead of me, and use a vernacular that is hard to understand. Please don't hate on me because I am asking a dumb question. I just don't want to have to become a cook in order to get what I want. Hope someone can shed some light on roms for me. Thanks.
I have...
AT&T Tilt
ROM - 3.57.502.2 WWE
Radio - 1.65.21.18
Protocol - 25.88.40.05H
First step is to read the:
[Resources] Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)
As your device needs to be Hard-SPL'd to flash custom ROM's.
Then just like everyone else it's all trial and error look @ the ROM threads and read the first page to see what is in the ROM and the Hard-SPL recommendation and Radio, WM6.5 has a bit more to flashing and again noted at the start of threads.
There is no easy root and everyone has to go through the process of learning searching as there will be things that stump you along the way.
On that note i'm closing thread.
Good luck and have fun flashing

i have my HTC 8125 mobile with WM5 OS.
i didnt unlock my CID yet but I will unlock it later right after if someone answers my important question that always twinkling in my mind.
Upgrading roms for WM5 to WM6 is just like installing a application? ( sorry coz this is my first time to do this.)
currently downloading Xplore1.1 and farias rom. is it alrady overclocked when i installed one of those? do i need to overclock my mobile?
thanks alot!
I would stick with Xlpore's Rom, since you didn't mention that you had a 4g or 3g, since it will work great on both. Just extract those files and run it, simple as that. If i were you i would read up a little on the whole process. nothing like having a $200 brick cause you didn't know what you were doin

Dude, you have a LOT of reading to do before I'd suggest you even start to do this (based on that question alone). No, its not like installing an application. You are installing an entire new OS (Installing, not Upgrading). So when you do this, its going to wipe out everything on your phone (not your SD card, but on your phone's internal memory).
I'd highly advise you to read and understand whats in the Wiki for the wizard. Then read and understand the stickies at the top of this forum and the ones at the top of the Wizard Upgrading forum.
For the sake of your phone, make sure you understand this stuff. Don't just run an executable because it sounds cool. I'm not trying to scare you off or anything, I just want you to understand what you are looking at doing and understand that flashing custom roms isn't the fix to everything.
Understand also that these custom roms are (for the most part) test things. There are bugs, there are quirks, and there are things that flat don't work. Sure, for the most part they give you more power, and a better functioning phone, but for some of the roms that requires tweaking to get it to that point, so you need to understand what is involved (people here will assist, but we won't spoon feed).
Here's an excellent post with TONS of pointers to information (yeah its buried in the XPLore thread. We need to pull this out into the Wiki or make a sticky with this):

Read and learn before you start flashing. You will save yourself a lot of grief, and may even save the life of your phone.

You definately need to read the Wiki before you do anything. It gives you step by step instruction and will most definately make flashing your device easier. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM me. Good luck.

ok i cooked my first rom to night, i cooked two roms but my start menus , on programs and settings expands and does not open in the the menus we all love.
i have looked and search for the answer myself but i am down to my last can lager, so i am asking very nice for help how to fix this
i hope one of cooking masters will read your thread then he can help you
Theres no way anyone can help unless you specify:
a) what rom you're cooking with
b) what editing you have done to the rom
Also you should have noticed the "Have a question? Read this before posting! All answers here (see post 3 for FTP lnk)
" Sticky right at the top. Inside that thread is this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337066 Maybe if you posted this question there, you might get better results! Good Luck!
i have cooked from alex`s 3.03 WM6.1 ROM.
i have not done any mods yet to the rom as i am still leaning how, one thing at a time thou..
i have just noticed alex uses this menu system in he cooked roms, so i am thinking i need a new rom build base to cook from.
any one know where i can get ?
Firstly, greetings.
I'm sure I'm opening myself up for abuse as per what I've read in countless posts but here goes.
I've been searching, and reading, and learning - hopefully enough to get myself through my first ROM flash without bricking my Kaiser, and for all the information here on this forum I thank you all.
My question however is one that I can't find a straight forward answer; with all these seductive cooked ROMS and shiny new features (CUBE, WM6.1, KaiserDiamond hybrid, D3D) not included on my bog standard phone.. Am I safe to presume that all ROMs in the Kaiser forum will run on my Kaiser? I want to make sure before I'm lured in by a new ROM that I cannot run.
Again, thank you to all the cooks, and those creating the Wiki's.

The only concern would be compatible radios (ie some Roms will not function properly with some radios) just read in the Rom thread to determine compatible radios or flash a rom with a built in radio (l26's new roms for example). Make sure you install hard spl, flash a proper radio and then flash ar new rom and your on your way (don't get nervous if your pda stays in tricolor for a couple of minutes before the rom starts flashing, I freaked out when that happened the first time I flashed).
I've been browsing and searching this website all over to find some info on what would be a good shipped ROM for the Kaiser.
I know u guys r writing that everyone find his own way to setup the phone.
but Since it has the same hardware than I think there must be some good ROM version the people would recommend to use.
I know for sure that WM6.1 runs very very slow... (unless u have it otherwise).
I'm a real newbie to these thing and have no warranty to my phone so I don't want to mess with it much. So please help me out here.
Also how can check my phone to see if my currnet SPL is unlocked to flash and OS is coocked or shipped?
tnx

Yeah...basically what these guys said. Look it up.
People on here are glad to help but only after it is obvious you have tried to find the answer on your own.
Not again Please take the initiative to try ALL the ROMs out and choose which one you like best.
I've tried many of the latest roms like L26V12, Hyper Dragons III(HSUPA), ROMeOS4.5.1, DK SupaClean, KaiserMedia V2, NATF's ATT ROM, Garmin's DK3.1 and Final. I've found Garmin's DK3.1 and final are the best ones out there. I still need to tweak it a little like changing all the boot screen, animation, welcomeheah96, the radio and keyboard fix. After all that, I'm loving my phone again. Like everyone eles said: read, read, read, flash, flash, flash, play with it, play with it, play with it, find the one you like.

excatly what i did, went through 6 different ones in all (Duttys 6.1, ROMeOS etc) before finally settling on sleuths V3.0 as i felt it suited me more (and got my gps working!) the install/flash procedure was a doddle and everything happened as it should.
read the instructions on HardSPL, flashing roms etc and follow them to the letter!
you'll be flashing in no time! i cant belive how easy it was!
Redundant thread. Redundant thread. Redundant thread.
I have read the forums and don't understand how to and what to install and what is the radio thing they talk about.
I have a blackstone with windows mobile 6.1. I want to install 6.5 with sense. I use tmobile uk.
What do I need to do? Give me step by step procedures. Also, give me a cooked ROM which actually works. There are so many and the table which is often refered to sucks.
Thank you.
P.S
Step by step. Post it here.
Buddy...commanding someone to "step by step, post it here" on how to flash a ROM is not going to happen. This is a dev forum, not tech support for newbs.
Here is the how-to for HardSPL and ROM flashing:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
If you're not sure what ROM to try, start with what's popular, such as Energy ROMs or Miri.
And if you still refuse to do a basic search and actually read a page or two so that you can understand it yourself, then you shouldn't be messing around with custom roms, you will ruin your phone.
Couldn't agree more
