New? Read this before you read anything else.
1Q. What is a Herald?
1A. A herald, is a device created by HTC. It is also sold under the HTC P4350, XDA Terra and the Tmobile Wing.
2Q. So the Wing is a Herald?
2A. Yes. But it has a different keyboard layout. Everything else is the same and ROMs from each other will work aside from the keyboard layout being
wrong.
3Q. What's a ROM?
3A. A ROM is the firmware (think of it like the windows installation) that your phone runs. There's the stock ones known as the "Official RUU's" and
the custom ones, known simply as "ROMs."
4Q. How do I flash a ROM?
4A. Read the sticky that tells you how here.
5Q. So the stickies are important?
5A. Yes. Read them first and you'll learn enough to ask intelligent questions and actually get answers that don't say, "READ!!! %#@$"
6Q. How do I flash USPL?
6A. USPL is NOT a ROM. It is a TOOL to flash other ROMs.
7Q. What's an NBH file?
7A. Read 4A.
8Q. Can I flash a Herald ROM into anything that's not one of the devices mentioned so far?
8A. No. You don't use diesel on a gas car.
9Q. Is HARDSpl permanent?
9A. Yes and no... it cannot be overridden unless you run USPL along with your RUU... If you don't understand this, please research and read some more.
10Q. I just installed HardSPL and now my device is stuck in the bootloader and gives me an SPL of 1.XXX!!!
10A. The intructions for that post specifically mentioned that you should NOT use this if you had an SPL lower than 4.xxx to begin with. I'm sorry but
you'll have to bring your phone to a repair center.
11Q. I just installed HardSPL... now I can't install my RUU.
11A. Did you read 9A? If you want to reinstall the stock software for some unknown reason but don't want to loose the HardSPL, you'll have to recompile
the RUU NBH so that it lacks its SPL.
12Q. Why are there so many stickies?
12A. Because we have a nice but sticky happy mod. If you don't like it, you haven't read enough of them. READ THEM AL.Alol
13Q. Can I ask you questions before reading the stickies?
13A. No. If you have, it's because you didn't read this... which consequently means that I've sent you here to read.
14Q. Why are people mean to me?
14A. You didn't read, bricked your device and then complained about it... read.
15Q. Why does everyone want a black rom? Why not a Puerto Rican rom? Or a white Rom?
15A. That's a weird question... go away.
16Q. How long should I wait for an answer for before I post another post about it?
16A. Indefinitively. If no one answers in ONE WEEK. Then bump your own thread. Do NOT create another thread. It might be cause for someone to beat you up... cause we've got our thugs that do that kind of stuff for us... we're watching...
17Q. Why did you miss # 10?
17A. Made you look.
18Q. What's the best ROM?
18A. It depends on your needs.
19Q. Ok, then what's the best ROM for me?
19A. Pop quiz: What's the best possible car for me... and no, you can't ask me questions. Off the top of your head, without knowing anything about my needs and wants. What is the best car for me. And mind you, if you get me something I don't like later on, I will come back complaining...
20Q. I have a Terra. Where is the RUU?
20A. Right there with answer #20154221445. Yea... it doesn't exist.
21Q. How do I install XXX?
21A. Did you read the walkthrough/readme file? If there wasn't a walkthrough included with it, is it a cab? If it's a cab, then run the cab... from the phone. If it's just random files, usually copy them over the windows folder. USUALLY... not always...
22Q. But it gives me an authentication error when I try to install this.
22A. Make sure that if you're installing... say.... the CommManager. That the CommManager isn't open in the background.
23Q. Is it ok to ask a question completely unreleated to the subject on a thread?
23A. No.
24Q. Is it ok to ask about a bug fix for ANOTHER ROM on one ROM's thread? Their ROM doesn't have this bug.
24A. Is it ok to go to Ford and ask them about why their Chevy has a leak in the radiator by design?
25Q. Why won't the cook give me a cab file that he used on his ROM?
25A. He didn't use a cab file. He used an OEM package.
26Q. Why won't he share his OEM Package?
26A. If it's a program he made, it's his intellectual property. If it's a program he didn't make, then he just doesn't feel like sharing for one reason or another. I don't read minds, so I wouldn't know.
27Q. If you can't read minds... how do you know all this stuff?
27A. I read... and cook... and read... and umm... yea... OK I CAN READ MINDS! STOP IT WITH THAT WEIRD LOOK!
More to come... stay tuned.

Just to be clear, I think Papamopps is doing a splendid job. But maybe creating only a few stickies and linking them to the items... OR placing all this into WIKI articles and then linking to them in one sticky.

What you need to do is read the wiki (see signature), and rom related threads, as to answer your question would take to long and as the previous person mentioned, we have been here before.
Do a search in the rom development forum and read the first few posts on each rom which will tell you basically what that rom includes. Do the same for whaever roms you are interested in and then try them out if you want.
All I can say is read read read and follow guidelines regarding flashing in the wiki and cRaCKwHoRe's guide. Both can be found in my signature
thanks
Hi
Thanks for your reply I am goign to start reading tonight and hope I understand what it all means.

It may appear daunting at first, but everyone here was in your shoes at first. After reading the wiki and implementing advice/tips/tweaks etc listed within you should be on your way to understanding. As a close mate (cRaCKwHoRe) said, if you read the wiki you'll know what I know, and this is the truth
There is also guidelines and tutorials on how to flash to knew roms and improve radio (reception) etc.
All information on each rom is listed on first few posts of each thread on that particular rom.
If you have any problems on any topic people here will gladly assist you (well most). If no one helps you, which I doubt, PM me.
I read and searched a lot on the forum before posting this.
1/ Why is there 1000 methods to flash a ROM?
2/ Do I need to do a partition in all cases?
3/ Is there a ROM for 32A that adds multi touch to my device?
4/ Might be a lot to ask but why is there no PROPER tutorial on how to install a ROM?
5/ Can I brick my phone?
Thanks for your time.
This is not a development question. This belongs in the Q&A section. Read the stickies. From those stickies, you would also see a Hacking Wiki for the sapphire.
Read that.

I use MyHero 1.1.3 (32A with BFS 303 kernel) and multitouch DOES work. But it needs to be supported by the software, works great in the browser for example.

Thats what I was thinking too
and my fav question out of the list:
Can I brick my phone?
Let me answer this one... from your list of questions I find it hard to believe you even know what "brick" means (no offense) but you should NOT even attempt to change anything about your phone except for whats in the menu>settings>sounds/display area
and I'll say it again no offense but people like this that have no idea what their doing is why the companies are so against us gaining root access because yeah theres some of us that understand what we are doing and the concept of linux but then you have these people that have NO CLUE then screw their phones up and guess who they call... not the dev, but the company crying about how they need a new phone...
Bottom line is if you dont know what you doing, DONT DO IT!

2. Ask the same question again.
You'll get more luck in there, and this forum shouldn't be cluttered with stuff that should be in others.

Thats why I said I always THOUGHT you were more helpful, because you helped me alot before. I was referring to the post where you said "Mate - he wants to downgrade! He's already flashed one ROM.
Anyone, please don't encourage him. This forum has enough on it's plate without becoming ROM Dev MkII lol"
Anyway,
The ROM section is dead, I already tried posting there some questions before, they look for ROM downloads and updates, not for questions.
I posted here because I am desperate, I am struggling from my new ROM update.
If anyone knows what I can use to simply revert back to my previous ROM, ill be very grateful ..
Thank you.
I said not to encourage you as this thread does not belong in this forum. Simple as that.
There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it.
But I guess I'm not being helpful now. Thanks a lot.
I guess I understood it in the wrong way then, I owe you an apology Im sorry
Oh no its not that, im just really desperate and my day today wasnt at its best, in a bad mood from other life events haha.
"There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it."
Thats all I really needed, thank you very much Disregard what I said earlier, its just me in a bad mood today.

this rom's i cook without device..
if moderator delete this topic, ok.
******************. My friend Ham3r here cooked like 10 roms without having the actual device, made the effort and you can't do one simple thing a test and post results? If you think that flashing a phone with a not-well-made/unfinished rom can brick your device, you should at least read the wiki or understand what is written here in the forums. And before you start to insult me or whatever, take into consideration that it IS possible that you don't have the amount of knowledge needed. Start reading - stop posting stupid things.
Mod Edited. You can make your point without insults. The warnings members give are valid for a ROM that is not tested.
welcome chef, but why in wm6.1?
6.1 is faster.
rom's for leo are only 6.5.. i don't understand that.

I can see everyone from Poland ganging up on people who ask for this ROM to be removed. It does seem strange however, that someone would cook a ROM for a device they don't own, and can't test.
99% of people will NOT flash an untested ROM. It makes no sense. Even following all the correct procedures, it could still brick the device, as the chef doesn't even know if the ROM works properly. Also, uploading as a file that we need to convert maybe isn't the best thing to do either. Most people don't have the tools or knowledge to convert these files.
Can we please end the flaming and insults. How old are you people really!?
I am intrested in 6.1 rom.
_Rayearth, you have hd2, have you tested it?
Thanks.
It's because we do test untested roms and therefore we know better
I some1 want to remove thread just because it offers untested rom, then I think this person should do a little research on this matter.
BTW, is it realy so hard not to read this thread if you don't like/use the content? just ignore it.
hrcro, yes I have but personaly, I think it would hard to use it with fingers on 6.1
on the other hand, clean and fast rom like this is rare these days
The vast majority of roms on here are untested before posted, the only difference is half the chefs don't tell you! Chefs with custom kitchens cook for a lot of devices and post for users to test. NRGZ28 did this, yet nobody asked him to close his down, and he is a brilliant chef!
Stop asking for this to be closed, the OP has as much right as anyone to ask people to test something for him, it is the users that make the decision. If you don't want to test it, sod off and leave the thread alone.

Hello everyone this may be a silly question but I see a lot of talk about roms within these forums can someone please tell me what are roms and how to install them.
Are they like cab files? or is it more like a OS system for mobile devices...
Will Roms override the os system that's on my device now? thanks for any info on this
the rom is the whole OS, including any pre installed programs. It is a big file, around 200meg that gets flashed to the rom memory chip on your phone. When you boot for the first time, it configures (installs, sets itself up) itself onto your device.
If you install a new rom, it completely removes the old rom, so if you hard reset, you get a fresh copy of teh new rom, you can only go back to teh original rom by flashing the original one again.
Think of it a bit like the windows cd that you use to install your PC.
PLease dont reply with 'how do i do it?', , go and read, then tomorrow, read it all again, then read some more, and then read it all again. By saturday/sunday you should be ready to do a trial flash.

I flashed my first rom about 4 months ago using the how to section for noobs. I read it several times, did each step one at a time, testing at each stage to make sure I'd done it right and it works like a charm. Best place to start.
