hello everyone!
i have been reading feverishly on all of this, and think i have some solid ideas.
Wanted to come right out and ask.
Anyone have a recommendation for me as far as which WM6 Rom to upgrade to?
My 8125 is unlocked for use with the old AT&T Blue (yes, i know, im holding on for dear life out of contract!)
Which would work best for me? (rom, radio, etc, for WM6. and do i have to unlock the CID again? same old method? or new for WM6?)
I am sick of WM5 and the issues i am having a fresh start would do it, but why not upgrade!?
appreciate any links as well.
Thanks for your advice in advance!
Dan
My findings
Hi,
It's always best to first read the tread on how to flash. Realy.
2nd flash to the latest rom from your provider .
Radio 2.19 seems to be the best in general. Others have issues in some situations. However you can flash those without hard reset. So you can try several without losing settings and stuff.
On OS my findings for wm6 are Faria's latest (no touch) or reTOUChed final. But i didn't try NBD 7.9 yet.
All respect to other cooks! these just met my needs best. It's personal.
greetings

Hey, take a look at my sig.
I've been reading through these forums for months too.
Here's my 2 cents:
You need to decide what kind of ROM you want... Touch or Crossbow
I use to love Crossbow but I found Touch and I'm in love with it...once you go with Touch you won't want to go to Crossbow anymore.
If you want Touch.. I would say NBD v7.8..it's awesome.
If you want Crossbow.. NTS v1 (jaguar) is awesome too... there is NTS v2.. but I haven't tried it.
sweet. you have the same setup i do
i am not familiar with touch or crossbow. what is the diff?
can you link me to the files i need, and/or the procedure you used to update?
thanks so much

Sorry, my friend... then you have lot of reading to do.
Espeically if you don't even know how to flash...
This is for your own good.. if you don't know what you're doing.. you might brick your phone.... meaning dead phone.
So, I advise you to start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
This should tell you how to flash...
Then you can start picking out what you want to flash to.
Touch: NBD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311534
Crossbow: NTS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314660
If you don't know the difference then try flashing them both and pick which one you like... I did... I must have flashed like dozens of time to figure out which one I liked. Also, people have different needs and preference so my taste in ROMs might not fit your needs too.
Just because you flash a new ROM doesn't mean everything's going to work... we'd want them to but sometime it's now.. so, without knowing what you did you won't probably enjoy the new ROM.
Try to enjoy this learning process.. otherwise, I'd say don't even bother because you're gonna have hell of a time trying to get everything just right.
I'm not trying to be mean.... just trying to help.
I'll try to help anyone if I can.. just like everyone else in this forum.
PS. I go here to see the list of threads for WM6 Wizard (8125).. I try to keep up with it but can't..so, I just focus on what I like.

I do know how to flash!
i flashed it before, but i am not up to speed with the new stuff.
to make my phone ideal, stable, and the best it can be,
which version recommendations do you suggest for, rom, radio, etc.
how should i set the phone up? which rom should i download and is there a particular place you can link me to download?
if i just know WHAT i want to, which versions, etc, i can read up, search and do all that myself. i just dont know what would be ideal for me right now
i am having a problem with the 8125 where i will be talking and it will just shut off and start rebooting, and keep rebooting. die, reboot. with full battery.
then when i plug it in to the stock charger, it will come on, but the battery reads in at like 6-15%,
is this the battery?
it started acting up when i spilled a little water on it last week!

I am in SC with ATT (Cingular) and a 8125 G4 and am having good results with XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a Full Version. I started flashing without unlocking the CID but it was a pain so I went ahead and unlocked it, but it is not necessary and there are some great step by step instructions in the forum. I followed the instructions and even though I am a newbie I haven't bricked my phone.

Oh.. in that case.. just like my sig says, I use NBD v7.8 right.. gonna flash to v7.9 soon.. man, thast zoki guy is fast and good.
go here and you'll find bunch of he's ROMs... I found that v7.4 & v7.8 is most stable, for me at least.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311534
For Radio.. the UK T-Mobile 2.19 is most stable from what I hear and experienced.
I've only tried 2.69 with ipl/spl 3.08.. but didn't work out.. I started missing calls.
There are group of people who's trying to figure out which Radio is the best in this forum... so, look in there time to time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312834&page=22
When flashing I always try to flash to T-Mobile 2.26 first.. then flash UK T-mobile 2.19.. then whatever ROM I want.. this way I start fresh all the time.
About your battery... well, I'm no expert but it might be with your battery... don't know.. I bet that water did do some damage.. if it's still under warrenty I would try getting a replacement for the phone first... then, if it still doesn't work then try getting new battery. Other then that, I don't know much about battery... good luck!
I HAD a perfectly running rom a couple weeks back, was flawless, no crashes, no leaks....perfectly usable.
The problem is now in 2 parts.
The first: I cant keep myself from trying new roms, even if it is hardly any different from what i already have!
The second: I dont remember which was the rom that ran perfectly!
Now i'm soooo screwed, the last couple roms i've tried is such a nightmare to use
It leaks memory like crazy, gets real sluggish, completely comes crashing down. It crashes a billion times, the radio loses connectivity and i have to restart to get it to work again.....arghhhhh!
IF ONLY i was content with what was working and let it be.....damnit!
Now, I got to find some of the older roms and test them out again :-/
Rant complete.

Hi San,
Imagine, using Universal just as a phone.
But, no.................
It has to be better than:
Desktop PC
Portable PC
GSM
Phone
PDA
Surf the net
Connect to whatever
Remind to be sub-servant to the other (better) half
.........
So, the never ending quest continues ......
Hey mate, remember we are talking about Universal......

Possible solution.
Right click your rom downloads and go to properties to check the creation date, hopefully this will jog your memory. The gap in dates should hopefully give you a clue.

San, you must be dreaming or you logged in on the wrong forum!
Aren't most of us here love flashing ROM's not because we're looking for the perfect one but because we get high by trying the latest one and posting something like this: "a perfect ROM, extremely fast & stable BUT, ......"
There was never a perfect device or ROM for us, but let me give you a clue.
Which ROM is highly customizable, boots up with 29Mb free RAM even with HTC Home plug-in installed, able to retain 24Mb of free RAM after heavy use, seldom crashes, supports 128Mb RAM, perfectly usable by doing away with progs & tools you don't use anyway? Beat that!
Your guess is good as mine!
Do you mean you're going back to the Best WM5 ROM you ever had? The Darkforces Team ROM!
i have tried many and the one i felt in lovewith was NNcoung ROM. Its fast, stable, no memory leaks, 31+ of ram after reset, flash disk (the best of all since you can install all the apps you want here with no side effects) and vanilla so you can install whatever you want. try it you will see that is the best ROM for universal EVER.

Hi,
Have you used Mtty to format/clean your memory ? (sometimes it helps)
And indeed I should try Nncuong's rom.
Greetings,
Wout
wow wow wow!! So many replies, dont know which one to respond to ;o)))
I'm guessing all the 18538 based roms dont seem to be stable on my device setup. It was one of the earlier builds which worked good for me. The 18538 roms always bombed up on me and i kept reverting back to one of the older roms which was flawless. The problem is, I changed my laptop and i dont have the nk.nbf file which i had with me . So i'm waiting for the coming weekend to start the hunt all over again
Until then, i got to live with this fubar'ed POS :-/ Really gets on to your nerves when it crashes over 30 times a day (not exagerating...all i need to do is, be on a call and try and push a button, and the call's frozen. I cant disconnect the call, the END or disconnect hardware buttons all dont respond)
I guess i'll just jump to beastyleo's rom, only thing that doesnt work is a2dp for me, which is much better than this crash-fest, roach motel rom that i'm currently running on!
Cheers,
San
If you have a G3 device try this: http://www.sym-viet.com/nncuong/UNI_2_11_11_G3.rar
the only rom i saw without memory leak. Havent tried beastyleo's tho.
A2DP is really good, it freezes device but just press play button on your headset to unfreeze happens once per day avg.
I only can say................ we made big progress today
And update is comming soon to your way......................

Universal Is A Useless Device!
Basically, Universal Is A Useless Device!
And, my friends and my relatives think that I have a big head
WHY?
The basic function of the Universal is Phone. As a Phone it is a useless device even with Windows Mobile 5. It is slow, eats up batteries, has crashes and so forth.
It is very bulky, always has to be carried in the hands. With a belt clip it is immense. It is impossible to use while driving. And, even the voice command is useless as it gets the number wrong most of the time.
So, welcome to Windows Mobile 6, which is not supported by HTC for Universal. It is the same story with Windows Mobile 6 and we are constantly re-flashing as it is full of bugs.
My friends and my relatives tell me that I have a big head, as they call me and that I never return their missed calls. I have painfully explained them about Universal.
So, they say buy a new phone. I tell them that I bought by Xda Exec in the first part of this year!
So, buy a new phone if you want to be in touch with your friends and your relatives. What I do!
I go in July of this year and buy Jasjar. Another Universal!
When I bought it, I told my self that I will only use it for Phone!
Now I own two Universals, several standard and large batteries. Two sim cards and several cases. Lots of different mono and stereo bluetooth and so forth!
Now I am constantly flashing both of my Universal. My friends and relatives still complain about the miss calls. So, now I am thinking to buy a small HTC Phone for just only Phone purposes.
But, I am also thinking to upgrade both of my Universal to 128MB.
I guess, I have to prioritize????
Any betting man or woman out there!

Hi San,
It looks like we are both having the same problems with our uni.
You noticed that it could have something to do with ours being one of the earlier production models ?
FYI i'm now running build 18533.0.7.1 by Nncuong with radio 1.17.
And this is now running without any softresets for 48 hours, which is a new record for my *&@#% uni.
But I still love the thing, It's a hate/love relation
Could you let me know which roms run stable on your uni ?
And do you also sometimes find that it looks stable but after 8 or so hours it seems like the thing is "deteriorating" needing softresets increasingly more often ?
greetings,
Wout
(and also important, after 11 hours battery still at 89%, with light usage of phone )

Woww!!! Looks like you're speaking through my brain m8!!!
Especially the pseudo short-lived happiness with the new roms (18538 roms!) until all hell breaks loose!
As i've noticed, the nncuong roms, the darkforce (earlier) roms worked great for me. Right now, i've flashed thingonaspring's 3.2 rom, hoping this baby will hold up....lets see how it goes!
The mo3ulla rom (confirmed) was a nightmare on my device setup. Was the worst of the lot, mainly because of a serious memory leak problem. Harldy any time, and it drops to a skimpy 3meg free ram status with nothing running!
Was way too crappy to be used for anything at all, flashed over thingonaspring's rom (its a 18533 rom), i'm wishing this one would work fine for me....will post in and let you know how it fares...
cheers,
San

If you are happy with a ROM, just sit on it and enjoy its features... No matter how great a ROM is, it has its limitations.
I must have flashed over 100 times, three tilts among a series of HTC phone creations. I guess I am settling down and perhaps I will refrain from flashing for a great while.
I am using Dutty's Hybrid of April 1st. It is by far the most stable and robust ROM I have used. I added few programs to boot and am very satisfied with the way the ROM is behaving.
Just remember it is just a phone... Not a music box, a movie theater, Lost Finder, Can Openner... Primarily it is a phone, and it will never replace your PC or laptop. so just relax and enjoy the summer...
My 3 cents....
Word of a wise man. I may just sit until WM7 and have some good wine.
That is true. I do not flash very often anyways, I just hate having to personalize everything again! I haven't tried that auto thing the new roms have, but I have set it up (I haven't flashed a new rom since I put that text file in my SD card). I assume it will make it less of a pain.

I no longer flash as much as I used to. Started realizing that I was spending more time flashing and reconfiguring than actually using my phone (also why I've chose not to cook on the Kaiser right now). I was on Confused Stu's Mobile Vista v1.1 for over a month (first time I had seen some of my apps start running out of their trials and having to enter in the auth codes I have for them. LOL) before I upgraded to his v1.3 (and to be honest the only reason I flashed to that was I was helping him beta test it and wanted to run it for a week before recommending it to some friends that are wanting to upgrade their Tilts).
I do truely appreciate all those here that do flash and test constantly (AllTheWay immediately comes to mind here... ). But for me, I'm happy to watch the new roms come out, read what works and doesn't for awhile, then move to somethng new when I see something I'd like to have, and avoid minor issues that I know would drive me up the wall after others find them (I use my phone as a tool for work, so while the latest can be cool, if parts of it don't work (or don't work well) then it defeats what the device is supposed to be for me).
I primarily stick to Dutty's too. It's nice when a new version comes out because all the apps are updated or new. That's about the only reason I reflash to a different ROM.
You would not say that if you had the Samsung - here's the link:

I try to refrain from flashing too many times too but sometimes new ROMs are just too juicy to avoid.
Perhaps I may have outgrown the habit a little bit that in the sense I now have preference for what features I look for and furthermore who the chef is.
you are not right
mine is a coffee maker...
a shuriken...
a thing to carry in my pocket...
and lots more
I actually don't mind flashing new ROMS, its more of a hobby. Now that there's UC thanks to Sleuth, theres minor personaliztions to do (eventually i'll take the time to dig deeper into UC for settings, at which point i'll have none).
I like seeing different styles of ROMs, and seeing what types of things people are tossing in. Excited about Schap's!
I too have styoped flashing my kaiser that much I use my prophet for that....
I flashed some roms when I first got my Kaiser but then went back to my personal coocked rom. I've had that on for months but have now changed it to my Throttle rom and it's been on my phone for a week already.
It's a phone and will always be a phone but this android thingy looks intresting ... well mainly because it can be done not that I might get any use of it.
Not me. I'm gonna flash until I find one that will do Everything, including fixing me a drink.
Turkey 101 & Sprite.
That's what I'm sayin!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Yes Sirrrrrrrrrrrrrrr P1!!!
This "Phone" make life easy and when P1, ATW or I find a way for it to make our dinner and clean up our desks then it will be complete! Until then I will be a flashin' fool! Thanks to Dutty, P1Tater, ATW and JimmyMcGee as they have helped me in everyway possible to make Flashin, downloading and all other outlets of this "Phone" very user friendly & I have never created a thread!!!!!

That's funny. I would periodically forget that my Kaiser is a phone when it doesn't ring. Just about two months ago when I upgraded to a Kaiser from a Herald, I switched to AT&T from Tmobile .... primarily for the (3G) data plan and selection of phones of course. As of lately, I found myself flashing less and less because (my opinion) I believe that the roms coming out are now are basically bug and minor fixes, perhaps a minor speed increase to previously cooked roms (which is good). I will perhaps flash again once a rom is cooked that can wash my car, pay my bills. .
Regardless, I think this site is awesome because it brings together some of the most (if not all) creative chefs in the business that would put those in M$/HTC to shame. Just my two cents.
i flashed shaps rom the day i got this phone.. i hadnt changed it until his 6.1 beta. really didnt like it so ive flashed all the 6.1 roms i could find. cant wait for his new build either.
Naturally, the last ROM I've flashed is my own
It's been about two months now and after all that WM6.1 testing, I'm not even sure if I really want to make another ROM once WM6.1 is officially shipped and on the HTC website.
As I've said in mfrazzz's thread, making your own ROM really does scratch the itch.

It already does this... Is called "Texting the Wifey".
Just like several opinions posted here, I will probably never stop flashing my Tilt to the latest and greatest ROM. (My co-workers actually maintain a "flash count" on their white boards )
With that being said, I flashed NoThrills ROM when it came out back in March, and kept it until several days ago until Dutty's Apr 09 release. I will most likely refrain from flashing until someone can best Dutty's latest attempt. That person will not be me because I don't have the attention span to cook my own personal ROM.
BTW, congrats on the Mod bump Alex! Now you get to close redundant threads and spew witty comments like Kyphur!

Hi,
I am really wanting to upgrade my SPV C600 to WinMo6. But first i need advice.
What ROM will keep all of my current working functions, working?? i want to be able to use my phone as i do now, just on WM6.
Also, i would quite like it to look like this IF possible.
http://youtube.com/watch?v=wv5aeDB6kwY
What are your recommendations?
Keith.
Which ROM?
The video you've been looking at is the standard WM6.1 Home screen. GnatGoSplats WM6.1 Clean ROM uses this interface, and it seems to be a good, stable ROM. Personally though, and this is just a matter of personal preference, I've found that although WM6.1 is the latest, WM6 ROM's tend to work better, be more stable and keep your device running with most if not all of your current 'stuff'.
I'm using SGregory's WM6 with the 'Neo' home screen, which in my opinion is a far better home screen interface than the standard WM6.1 you're talking about - but again, it's just personal preference.
One thing you will find though is that most ROM 'cookers' remove a lot of useless apps which most people never use so you can have more free memory to install the stuff you do use - I think it's called 'user choice'! Rather than Microsoft dictating which software is on your device, you can add the stuff you want and leave all the crap out.
If you're worried about upgrading your ROM because your device won't be the same, don't do it... that's the whole point of upgrading - your device WON'T be the same, it will be BETTER!!
Haha, thanks.
Have you got any screenshots of NEO? Also, could you link to that rom you thought was best and say what i would be losing/gaining?
Also , how easy is it to get it back to stock orange?
All the info you need my friend is right here in this forum. It's too time consuming for anyone to list all the pros and cons of various custom ROM's - just try one, if you don't like it, try another.
If you want to put the original Orange ROM back on (you won't when you've tried a decent ROM), you can download it from Orange website. Just type 'Orange SPV C600 ROM' into Google.
Is it really that easy to put it back as it was? If i did the recovery (hold 2 soft keys) would that not work anymore?
Also, will upgrading the radios not bother it in any way?
And by the orange rom, do you mean the one that adds the push email?
By 'Recovery' I assume you mean hard-reset. If so, no, that won't put it back to how it was. That will just reset all the settings to default and remove any third-party software which you have installed, thus leaving the device in a 'new' state (new, according to the ROM you have installed, not new as in just bought from Orange).
If I were you, I would leave it as it is because you're obviously way too concerned about messing up your device
I dunno about that last part, he's just a newbie. When I first got my Tornado I was scared to death to upgrade from WM5 to WM6 because I was afraid of bricking my phone. But I had a buddy who owns a Wizard watching over my shoulder while I followed the tutorial step-by-step, which was a big confidence-builder. And when it installed perfectly, I had the hang of it, and I've been experimenting occasionally with new ROMs ever since.
Keithoms, as long as you follow Karhoe's tutorial you're golden. And you'll never want to go back to the original ROM again - this I promise you. WM6 and WM6.1 are light years better than WM5. And don't you worry about bricking your phone - you have to seriously screw up the process to do that. Upgrade the radio for better reception, upgrade the ROM for better functionality.
And, I recommend doing like I did: read. Spend some time on this forum and just read threads. Read, read, read. Forums like this are great for getting questions answered, and chances are your question has been asked at least once before, and you're quite likely to find the answer to your question before you need to post it. If you can't find it, post, and we'll answer away. And, as an added bonus, by digging through the forums each day, you're likely to come across questions that you never thought to ask, and answers that fix problems you didn't realize you had.
And, last but not least, ENJOY! I've been in love with Windows Mobile phones ever since I got mine, and the number of things you can do with them are limitless.
Some threads you should read:
Karhoe's WM6 upgrade how-to. It looks like a lot of steps, but it's not really. It goes very fast - if you're SLOW, it might take you 25-30 minutes.
Nitro's WM6 ROM - you can substitute this for the ROM suggested by Karhoe's tutorial without any ill effects at all.
A whole collection of ROMS and software for the Tornado.
Hope this was helpful, and hope you have an awesome day!
Hi, thanks for the replies. For the radio, i was only meaning, would it bother the old orange rom in any way if i decided to go back with the radio still updated.
I am a bit paranoid, but that is only because i bought the phone yesterday and spent all of my money on it.
I have read karhoes guide around 20 times. Giving it a thought, i take it the only way to brick it is to either not SuperCID it before its flashed, to do format BINFS wrongly and to knock out the cables and/or run out of batterys as it is doing GMSUpdate and the actual rom flash.
So if i avoid those things, i should be fine? :S
I'm on nights so I'm moody!
- Perhaps I was a bit short with you to tell you to leave it alone. djsleepwalker is right... if you follow the guide to the letter, you shouldn't have any issues. Even if you do, someone in this forum has the answer you need.
You will never regret upgrading your ROM and you'll never want to put the original Orange ROM back on, that's for sure. I've used Windows Mobiles since 2002 and I've only started messing with ROM's a couple of years ago.. I wish I'd done it sooner. The benefits far outway the risks
Well, i just went ahead and did the full shebang!
I bought a new housing from fluffcat1, fitted that.
Then.... installed GGS's WM6
Uber-Epic romz....
Thanks to all that helped me get through this without any damamamagamage to my phone.

The fuze is twice as powerful as the tilt. Its well worth it.
You just beed to flash a custom ROM.

When I first got my Fuze it wasn't up to par with my Tilt, but after I learned the device and cooked my own ROM, I love it.
I stayed with an older WM 6.5 build because it seems to be stable, but I haven't tried any of the new builds that have come out.
There are some chefs releasing new versions all the time. I just cook for my personal consumption as I don't have time to support a ROM on this forum.
HUMMMMM i haved NEVER cooked so i just might take a read read (lol) and try it

Start here and you'll learn in no time.
Hmm, have you looked at the clarity of the screen??
There are a LOT of advantages over the tilt:
* Ascetically the fuze is way more beautiful than the tilt
* The Fuze has a 5 row keyboard (though AT&T removed the control key)
* The LED flash makes for a great Flashlight with the use of an application cooked into most roms (use mine many times a week on average)
* Stylus is magnetic on the fuze (and also a sensor for detecting if the stylus is removed)
* form factor is a little bit smaller than the tilt
Only real advantage i see is that the tilt screen well... tilts
But thats the only thing missing if you ask me.
I never heard of a replacement upgrading to a better phone, consider yourself very lucky! (and if you aren't happy, sell the phone on ebay and buy a tilt, pocketing the extra cash!)
just wanted to say im happy with the fuze thanks to all the replys !!! im currenty running it with NATF V4.7 rom 6.1 slick as well. gonna hunt for another stable fast good ROM any sugg let me know as now i like this one thanks again all !!

Try some 6.5 ROMs, I think you'll like them.
Glad you're enjoying your phone!
Is your old Tilt broken? Did you get the replacement through warranty or through insurance? Odd that they wouldn't want the Tilt back. What is wrong with it?
Give one of the 6.5 roms a try, you WILL love em...I know I like the one I'm running (RRE's). The new "finger friendly" icons, larger easier to use menus. I hardly use the stylus anymore. I've been using windowsCE/windows mobile all the way back to the Dell X5 days, so it's taken a couple weeks to get use to not trying to click in the upper left corner for the start menu with the new 23034 & up interface.
