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.

I agree. We need to consolidate the stickies so that it doesn't look the development forum.
and, for your information, the dinosaurs went extinct because they were homosexual sinners. duh. </sarcasm>
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.

BTW - when puting all important threads into a link-collections. THEY WON`T disappear from the forum 1st page. if someone writes inside it..... it WILL appear on TOP.
And why did you post your Faq - on "Herlad mobile 6"????? - is it WM6 related NO!!!! so psot it in Herald genereal.
And next time (as an answer to FAQ12) - write a PM to me and give your knownledge in making it better!!
Best regards.
I moved the thread because it is not WM6 related.
I don´t want verbal fights here. I´m open for PM and you have my msn Ivan - so why don´t you contact me before psoting such a "crap" in some aprts of it.
Thanks.
This post was done half as a joke (like the sticky part and the other jokes) and as a real FAQ just because I was bored. Sorry if I offended you.

let´s make joke via MSN. then only people are involved - who know eachother well.
But noone is involved who is searching real help....
I'm just about to try and install the Syrius R0 ROM on my XDA Orbit II. Just wondering if there is anything I need to do first like SIM/ CID unlocking etc? If so how do I do it?
Cheers
mate, not being funny, but dont ask questions like that as full instructions are on the thread with the rom ( and you will be told to use the thread search tools, lol), and if you are asking questions like that it is highly not recomended to flash your device if you dont know what you are doing, hopefully i have got the wrong idea of what you meant, in any case,
click http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425612 and follow instructions. you need to hard spl your device,
do hard reset first, then flash then hard reset and everything shoudl run smoothly, dont use vista if you do it wont work, well it didnt on mine, use an xp machine.
hope all works out for you!!
cid unlocking, check the hardspl thread here
The o2 Orbit 2 has no SIM/NET lock at all.
Just do Hard-SPL, if something goes wrong while flashing, you can recover it.

when i flashed hard spl on my device, i was using vista and it worked fine... just make sure you have a full connection between Mobile device center and your orbit.

But all three simultaneously at 3:10 (GMT+2)
Ok, stop spamming
Vista is often causing errors. XP is recommended...
Cheers, I had read through the instructions etc but the XDA dev wiki says that before you find the ROM you should CID unlock the device, couldn't find anything explicitly saying that Hard SPL is doing this and figured I'd rather ask an obvious question than risk bricking by beloved Orbit II.
Think I might have to risk trying it with Vista, only XP installations I've got are VMware ones on Ubuntu and that's a whole other can of worms.
Thanks for the quick replies
First post and a new thread. Boring...............
there are already a thread for bug in R0 Syrius and explaination for flashing a new device use it before posting !!!!!!!!!!
This isn't about a bug in Syrius R0 and as I said before I had read two guides on here (wiki and the installation instructions) and was checking a difference between the two.
Lock and whipe this thread. Another idiot who didn't care to read the "read me first" threads....
I did read them, was checking a difference as explained in previous post. thankyou joey jojo for your help

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.

This is nothing to do with HSPL - it's just the utility you use to flash a custom ROM. You still need HSPL on your phone

also my SPL is 1.42.0000 so HSPL will work..
just want a walkthrough on how to install it all, very curious as i dnt want to brick my phone lol. thanks in advance
Firstly, why on earth title your topic as "Help!!", titles of subjects are supposed to be descriptive, titling "help" etc are ridiculous.
Second, If you had bothered to take 2 minutes to look you would find an abundance of guides, no need for this topic at all.
Third, You lost your iPhone then got a real phone, At least one good thing came from this thread
some help you are. i have searched the forums and tbf got abit lost. ive been away from this scene since the first XDA on 02 came out so bare with me. im NOT a complete idiot as i am an MCSE qualified engineer! so dont take me for a TWAT, this forum is meant to be friendly.
ill figure it out myself....!
and also ill probably no more than you will ever no
I think your HELP is just wrong placed - there is a section "HD2 Windows Phone 7 Q&A and General". So your HELP should be there
go to hdspl mode
change to 2.08
task29
magldr
and wp7

Also, MCSE has nothing to do with this, and really is not that difficult of a certification to get in the first place.

When you say a second one, what do you mean?
Did the first flash and boot ok and now you are trying a different build? Or do you mean you are trying a second one as first failed also??
Flashing WP7 is extremply easy. You just simply...
Load into MAGLDR menu
Load USB Flasher
Load up DFT flasher on PC
Start Flashing!
If this doesnt work it could be down to a incompatible SDCard. Some simply wont work with WP7.
Try and do a full format, ie..
Load Panasonic SDFormatter
FULL Format (Overwrite)
Size Adjustment ON
Reflash ROM!
If that doesnt work, use a different card. Remember WP7 creates a 200MB partition on card so dont be alarmed to see that the card only shows 200MB when you see it in windows.
