I am very new to this Rom upgradin and stuff and before I started throwin out all kinds of questions I figured I would introduce myself to yall. Any helpful information you guys want to share with me is greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Hey !
Welcome to the world of 'flashing Junkies'
As a starter,read the XDA-Wiki and especially the following guide ,if you plan to upgrade :-
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wizard Windows Mobile 6 for newbies
Enjoy !
Thanks man, I read all that stuff just a few questions for you guys.
Will any Roms improve my Signal, and simply is it worth upgrading?
Hi and welcome to xda-developers
A radio rom will improve your signal, just make sure that it is specifically designed for the HTC wizard. If you try flashing a hermes or himalaya radio you will destroy your phone.
Is it worth upgrading ,you ask, well that depends on if you want to upgrade to wm6 or you want to upgrade the radio to improve reception.
All the cooked roms on here dont have the radio part included so that will be a seperate upgrade if you want it.
I have wm6 running on my xda mini-s and it works great for me.
How do I go about selecting a radio? Does it depend on my area or what info do I need?
Usually you get this by testing the radio's Where I live, i didn't see any difference on updating them, so I stopped changing it.
Ok well If all goes well I am very shorlty going to have the tmobile rom installed. Now to pick out one. I really cant seem to figure out which one I want there are soo many. As far as the radio goes where can I find those?

Hello Every,
I've been a big xda-developers and i've gone to you guys many times in the past to help me out. I have just been talk into a ROM upgrade from my friend who has my Wizard and loves WM6. So i have decide that AT&T is taking too long on the WM6 release and would like to move on over.
Now i have gone through and read all the different upgrade from all the different ROMs, Black Majic, etc and i want to get everyone's opinion on which ROM is the best to go with for the 8525? I want a fast ROM that is fully functional with my ActiveSync for exchange and has some cool new features.
Let me know what you guys think.
Thread number 1,304 on this topic.
If you're an AT&T user, I would highly recommend vp3G's rom. It's very nice, especially since it's all set up for AT&T use already
GldRush98 thanks for the reply. I was looking for a link like this but i didn't see one for the 8525. Thanks for your input.
welcome to xda-developers... i suggest reading this and when asking questions... have a look at the Forum Titles... if its Windows Mobile 6 related (like this question is) the question is to be asked in there...
i always find this also a good source of knowledge...
Is it time to ask administrators about new forum?
Why?
WM6 for BlueAngel is working. At least several people here (including me) was able to use beta version.
Beta version is good enough for everyday use. In fact: it is release candidate.
Author (helmi_c) promised to release soon. very soon.
A lot of people here are interested in this release.
So...?
Request passed to the admins, i've also tried the beta and it's really worth a new form
Why not!! I totally agreed with it as this will ease members to navigate right info.
Can Anyone send me a ROM file?
Thanks a lot
wm6
yes i would like to try out the wm6 for my sx66 also why dont you release the new os today or tomorrow i think that would be very nice. please send me the wm6 please.
You all will try it out when the time comes: 31.08.2007
WM6 Forum
I agree - a new forum would be great for all including Newbies and BA fans alike... also to stop rip off mercahnts charging £10 to download on ebay!!!
After the release we will need to update the wiki as well
I second this request too.
Create a sub-forum for BA-WM6...
we have to wait untl 31 August
i am speechless here guys
well done Helmi_c.
New forum for WM6 ready.
It's awesome to see "Windows Mobile 6" on the subforums list.

It will probably be the same way: put your device in "upgrade" mode (power+record+reset) and run maupgrade_noid.
I'm not sure if you can restore any backup.
Cool... great to see the new forum. I think I will lots of work this weekend
Report WM6 on BA
1. Speed Good
2. Battery to waste
3. Can't wireless Modem
4. Phone Singnal Good
5. Why I can't Sync Calenda now In used Active Sync 4.5
Please Help me This very Importance
Total Every thing It OK I try to test This Rom
New Sub Forums ...
hello everyone!
after the new WM06 forum is getting bigger and bigger, with an already overwhelming amount of information, i would suggest sub-forums for certain topics...
for example:
one for helmi_c's wm06 rom general stuff and bugs,
one for upgrading problems and questions,
one for addons and third party software
one for misc stuff...
of course their might be better categories, but what do you think about this in general?
just thinking....
regards,krz
Hello all!! I've been gone for a while, I've been busy being sucked into the iphone trend, and this phone is about to bring me back to my senses. Before I left the community I was heavily into herald(wing) modding and tomorrow I expect to be running with the htc hd2 from now on.
I'm basically starting this thread in the hopes that one of you pro's can point me in the right direction. What do I do first? I'm well aware that stock software on any phone is crap, battery life stealing slow garbage, so I'm obviously going to need help with which Roms are recommended for newbs like myself. I remember before I turned on my wing for the last time, in order to install a cooked rom I needed it to be hardspl'd. Is there something similar to that with this phone?
I can't wait to see what WinMo software has to offer after my 2 year absence. Any help will be appreciated. Thanks for the help!!!

Welcome back, you certainly picked the right phone to enter the fold again!
THIS thread (a sticky in this forum) has some great reference links to the kinds of stuff you'll need when starting out, incluing instructions on HardSPL and flashing for this device. One that's particularly useful is THIS link to a list of stuff that was extracted from the euro version of the phone, so you can add any of them that you want, that didn't get included in the T-mobile US version

Whoa thanks for the Quick reply. I'm starting the long night of research now. Thanks for the help mate
Hey guys,
Love the forum. Been searching around quite a bit, also bricked my HTC Snap S520 today. Should be getting a new one tomorrow.
It will be a Mobilicity HTC Snap and I know there are LOTS of people looking for the original ROM that comes with the phone so they can unbrick theirs. I would like to be able to help and provide one to everybody.
So, my question is; How do I create a complete and cooked ROM from my Mobilicity device so others can use it on their phones?
Well, I can see everyone is just jumping to help. I have the new phone, if someone lets me know if it's possible to help all these people with bricked phones, let me know.

If you want to learn how to cook, go to the chef central forums. There are some amazing tools to create your own custom rom.
If I want to back up the Mobilicity ROM for others, is it possible for them to use it? Or do they need to be HardSPL?
Hi everyone
I got my HTC HD2 and it had WinMob,I ordered it last week so i have being doing my homework and im not a complete noob
While i was waiting for it to arrive i was playing around with an Android Phone,I really like the interface and app store and have decided to switch.
I will be using the NAND method and have read over all the guides but theres a few things i need help with,
The 1st is prob a total noob question so forgive me
(1)My radio version is r 2 06 51 07 so from what i can gather i should be ok using this? The only reason i ask is in case this was an update that HTC applied to stop people changing the OS
(2)When choosing a stable ROM will ii have all the features i have with WinMob(Flash,Camera,Wifi,Bluetooth etc)
I have read a lot of threads and from what i gather some roms will have all these features while others are still being updated
(3)
WHich ROM version to use?
Now from looking around the threads i understand this is like "Walking in to a bar and asking 10 guys which beer to drink" But to be honest im looking for a stable Rom that will have all the features,Basically a noob rom,Im not really looking for a ROM that will give me a lot more features than WinMob
After a while when im more confident i will start changing roms and reporting
bugs to help the developers here
(4) Suggested Donation to the developer of the ROM
Developers put countless hours in to developing these roms are are nice enough to give it to us for free and are happy with a thank you
I think its only fair to make a donation,However what amount would be suggested,
I have used the search function and have found a lot of the answers i was going to ask but i cant seem to find the answers to the above questions,
If they have being asked before ghen please tell me the keywords to search,I know how busy people are on this site and dont want to be wasting there time
Thank You in Advance
(1) I'm not sure but i believe only 2.xx.50 radio's were supported by Android/MAGLDR/CLK
Try this thread, i don't know if it also applies to T-Mobile US or Telstra versions.
Be sure to have HardSPL installed on your device, otherwise you can't install the radio.
2.15.50.14 is the most commonly used radio.
(2) Android development for the HD2 has been going for ages now and it's practically an android native device nowadays with all drivers present and working.
Although there are some modifications needed to fully support Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich (almost everything is working, but the camera drivers won't record video and there where some issues with data drops) but allot of people are working on it.
(3)For starters i would suggest Hyperdroid, it should be fast and stable.
If you're becoming anxious for more fiddling around and trying to get every little bit of power available in your HD2 then try Dorimanx's ROM.
(4) That's personal, if you don't like it a bit then don't donate. If you think it has completely wiped the urge/need to buy yourself a new phone then you could donate a nice sum of money. Between 5 and a 100 dollars.
Hope i've been of help.
Thank You
I was wrong about the radio version and im trying to change that at the moment,Im having a few problems with the syncing but im looking around the threads and think i know what the problem is.
Il look in to those ROMS you suggested.
Thank you for the help
