I am an old user of these forums but its been about 2 yrs since I was last here and have forgotten a lot of the knowledge I had about flashing my phones.
I have been reading the forums for a few hours now, and just went thru "ROM review's by PURESKILLZZZ" ...but I can't seem to find the links to the actual roms. Stupid eh? Sorry for such a crazy question, but where are the links to download?
Also, I still cant decide what ROM I want to install on my Wing... I wish there were pics of all the roms so I can see what they look like running.
I want to install a rom with WM6.1 and some of the features I seem to like are...
iPhone theme
PontUI
Cube (I hear people talking about this, havent seen a pic of it tho)
And lastly, what do I use to backup ALL of my SMS messages so I can restore them after flashing the phone???
Many thanks to ALL of you for your help.
1. Search this forum for a working wing ROM... And read carefully...
2. Using PIMbackup to backup your contact, email and SMS before flashing new cooked ROM...
And there's also some threads focusing on themes and cube...

ok guys i did alot of searching tried alot of things but still i have not been able to install a touchflo rom i just got the phone and i have been trying this for the last couple of days and i have no where i downloaded couple of the touchflo version here but still nothing so if someone could put a link to one that works and tell me how to install it i would really appreciate it thanks
You could try to install a rom that already has touchflo cooked in... Starbase64 roms are good for that...
Heres one of his latest ones (28-06-08). Its UC compliant - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394417
He also has lite roms too....
Cheers....
Just remember to install Hard SPL 1st.... It's not a guarantee to not brick your phone BUT it makes it a hell of a lot easier, and possible, to fix..... Read up on the upgrading forum. Its the post at the top...
Uh.....This guy said the T-Mobile Wing......Which last time I checked is not the Hermes....OP should go to the "Herald ROM Development" section if he wants to flash his Wing......
sorry bro for some reason i couldnt find th herald forum so i thought i had the name wrong and used this but ill go look for it again
I'm new to XDA-Developers and have a T-Mobile Wing. Is it possible to upgrade my Wing to Windows Mobile 6.1 and if so exactly how do I do it?
yup, all the roms in here are based on 6.1
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=349
Just do a little homework to decide which one you want, i.e. do you need alot of programs? do you want eye candy? or do you want simplicity and performance.
The link you provided appears to be to a list of other posts. Where and how do I actually download a ROM and how do I install it?
ROMS
In that list of posts you can see all the windows mobile 6.1 roms avalaible for your tmobile-wing just enter one of those posts to see the features of the rom and how to install it.
I tried accessing several of the posts and didn't find a download link for the ROM inside any of them. Where and how do I actually download a ROM and how do I install it?

There are many different ROMs. All were made by members of the forum. There is no official ROM. You HAVE to read to find which one you want and to find how to install it unless you don't mind bricking your phone. All the information is there.
I understand that I have to read, but I can't seem to find links in the posts to actually download the ROM's. The posts seeminly contain lots of text, but no links for downloading. From where do I actually download the ROM's?

ok...
I'm going to randomly choose a post and see if I can find the link.
The VERY first non-sticky post:
PDAVIET-ROM BUILD 20764.1.4.3.PV(Released),(Bluetooth fixed)
The VERY first link in the post.
http://www.mediafire.com/?jo5g2y0nimn
This is a WM6.1 ROM. It's not going to be called WM6.1 ROM since it's a third party ROM and each cook names their ROMs differently. This is only one of MANY. You can even click on the ones in my signature.
Obviously, you have to read and see that it requires HardSPL... So you search for HardSPL.
I don't want it to come out sounding mean, but that was extremely simple.
If you got some problems searching to find any ROM to download, I am really worried about you flashing... read carefully because you can brick your phone if you do something wrong.
The very first link in the post was was entirely unlabeled so I completely didn't recognize it as the download. Thank you.
its a lil hard finding working links with some and a lil confusing, its the broken image links that are the worst, its hard to pick a rom when you dont know what it looks like, iv been through about 10 so far looking for the right one, still dont have it, so off i go to check more woohoo lol
upgradeing my wing to 6.5 from 6.0
If I download a the 6.5 upgrade how do I wipe out the old rom so I can put the new one in I,m new at this
hi guys,
I have just joined the forum and this is my first post..
I have bought the XDA Ignito or the HTC Touch Diamond.. and have been exploring the phone. Was wondering if I can get some help here, i know there are lots of posts there but some things are complicating to me!
Just to inform that I am a newbie with all this stuff.
I want to customise few things:
I'm on orange and therefore I dont want the O2 screen at the start, and although I like the blue and white theme (of the TouchFlo3D), I would like to see the original version (black) also..
In the Internet option, When I click on Launch Browser, nothing happens and I have to manually open Internet Explorer from the Start menu!
I thought it is possible to browse the web in landscape by tilting the phone, but when I tilt the device nothing happens. Is it because im using Internet Explorer?
What do I need to do to purely customise my new toy lol
Also I would like to know of any tweaks that I may be able to do to maybe make the phone more faster?
One more question, I would like to know how long on average does the battery last? Mine lasts just about a day!
Thank you lot in advance! Appreciate all the help I can get!
Cheers
dakz
The simple answer is to flash a new rom. This will make your phone a standard diamond and remove the O2 branding
Internet explorer does not work in landscape. Most diamond's have Opera installed as the default browser which does switch to landscape
The new Rom should make your phone faster - the custom roms are usually tweaked for speed
If it's new, you are probably playing with your new toy a lot, so 1 day battery is about right
You could also try diamond tweak or advanced config from this forum. Both allow you to tweak in a user friendly way
There are sticky threads about these at the start of this very diamond forum
hey hays
firstly thanks for the reply..
So where do I or can I download the new rom and is it easy to 'flash' it? But before that i would want to know how to backup the current one just incase therex problems later!
Regarding the browser, i will try find the opera browser n download and make it the default, hoping that will work!
Right once i get those things done i will search the tweaks..
cheers so far
dakz
I downloaded Opera, including the new beta version from their website and yet it does not tilt to landscape when i turn the phone
Can someone who is able to browse the web in landscape plz tell me which version of Opera you are using?
thanks
opera browser landscape version??
no one willing to put an input??? Need to know the opera version!
I suggest you to backup files using spb backup and then flash the rom you like. It's easy, there is a fine tutorial. Probably you will have opera with it.
cheers
thanks for that
spent most of today just researching it around the forums, catching up on all the terminology that had been confusing me lol
I will download n flash a new ROM soon.. but I would like to backup my current one, which is 1.93.206.3 WWE and Radio version 1.00.25.05.
Anyone know where I can download these original ones?
thanks once again.
dakz
I know nothing about backuping whole rom, but I suggest you not to worry about that, there are few O2 roms here I think, radio also is no problem
yeh i might forget about backing up the whole ROM and instead im just going to find 1.93.206.3 WWE ROM sumwhere lol and then i can start messing about!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430636
dont work!
thanks idrisito, i've checked that thread earlier today..
the link they provide in there dont exist any more
does it not! ill sort it out when i get home!
found it, i think!
well i did find "O2 XDA Ignito ROM 1.93.206.3 WWE November_2008.rar" from http://www.mediafire.com/?wz2amnzyk1w located in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430636&page=5.
Now im slightly confused, will this do as my backup or should I wait until you sort out the link u have given me earlier?
that link i posted (i.e. the first one on the XDA ignito thread) does work ! i just downloaded from it !
thats the latest one it should say december 7th!
the other one i upped whic youv got does not display the splash screen correctly
once you'v downloaded the december 7th one that should allow you to return to the stock ROM, after flashing other ROMs, if you want to ever return for warranty purposes!
wicked! thanx
Hey idrisito thanks bro!!
dont know what happened!! its strange lol it was not working before! honest!
well im downloading it right now.
I also managed to flash Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex 1.40 and updated my Radio to v1.03.25.18 from 1.00.25.05. How would i find out which radio is better lol are there any things i should look for?
Two days of hard reading on this forum ahh lol but glad its done successfully without any problems.. next stage is to find a good ROM and flash that! Might start with the HTC's original one and compare it to the O2's blue theme.
thanks n keep up the good work
update: I just tried to flash Diamond_WWE_1.93.707.157 ROM but for some reason was unsucessful! It ends up with the following message after 1%:
error [244] INVALID MODEL ID
What am i doing wrong?
dakz
you need to carrier unlock your phone (CID unlock) if you want to flash any ROM!
have you installed unsigned hard SPL? (i suggest unsigned)
it probably didnt work cos the rom your installing is for a different region!
go for one of UDKs or some of the othe widely used ROMs in the forum!
there is a way round flashing the rom you currently have but it involves deconstrucing>> changing the model ID>>reconstructing the ROM and then flashing!
its easy enough once you know how!
the best radio in my opinion is the one suggested in UDK R3 ROM thread
Hi everyone
I am new to this forum so bear with me.
I have a Blackstone NL version with 1.56 firmware from stock. Just got it 2 weeks ago. I would like to test miri's new WM6.5 v15 on it. My question would be:
If i do that, (and dont like it) can i go back to what i have now?
If so, can I make a complete backup of my blackstone, and i dont mean a sync of the contacts but a real OS image of some sort.
Is it possible to find original HTC OS images of different languages.( i have dutch on mine and would like to have one in English. If yes, Where?
For my questions, please be specific and clear coz i am a Noob.
Thanks in advance

See "BlackStone ROM developements" ROOM

Thanks... that was very clear...

You don't seem to be answering the question...

As I read it, he's asking two questions, one is where to find the ROM - which you answer - and the other (which I'd like answered too) is what problems might there be in rolling back to the stock ROM; my reading of the Wiki simply doesn't answer that part unless I'm missing something (or searching for the wrong thing?). So a pointer to a previous article (which might help us) would be useful, if someone knows where one is....
The ROOM is the Bibble of changing ROM: in this forum you'll find all if you search...
But you want the fish not learn fishing...
1) Wiki for ROM
2) No problem to return back...
D'rath
why didnt you just say that in the first place then, my god, geeks
but roll back imply that the org rom is still inside the device
and thats not the case to go back you just have to flash your
device with the same version it came with like you would flash
it with any other rom
im new to the site and flashing im not even shure how to flash but i want to is ther anyone that can help me what do i need what rom to use
many thanks

If you want to flash a rom, read this guide. As for which rom is best for, everyone has different tastes, you have lite roms, and full roms (lots of apps included), then you have wm6.1 or wm6.5 as well as different versions of manila. Best advice would be scan first post of each thread and see which appeals to you then try a few out and make your own conclusion
Any future help on flashing should be posted in guide thread
Plenty of people have asked same question and get same result. Research, read & trial.
Can I also remind you to read the forum rules before creating new thread.
