on the install
im not that much of a techie
i have read alot of threads to get up to speed
but my technical skill are not that good
please help
They are very easy, follow the same steps as flashing a rom, thats it!! Must be Hard-spl then just run the curtomruu.exe
Yeah, as husker91 says, just pretend you're flashing a ROM. It's very easy. Just follow all the steps, don't skip any steps, and make sure you follow all the directions!
Here's a pictorial, if you need it. This pictorial is a ROM-flashing guide, and it's pretty much how you flash a radio-rom.
*However, I do believe this should have been posted in the Radio thread OR at least the ROM development sub-forum.
Very easy as stated above

well as far as roms goes.my way is just grab one and flash everybody has likes and dislike .you wont know till ya start flashing different ones.it gets addictive but i love it .i would suggest this rom for your first one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572938 it's stable and fast. i am on it right know ,plus i have a tmobile tp2.usa .so just follow the instructions and flash it .once you get the hang of it you will be flashing alot.just have to find one that you like ,that meets what you want to do with it! it's very easy to do ! well good luck man!the customruu.exe is the progam that will install it into your phone from your computer . it's already in the zip file you download. when you unzip the file you download you will see it !this rom if i remember right ,after you unzipp it you will see a file named flash open it you will see the customruu .well just follow instructions from above you will get it .i know it's scary at first but just be confident. also when you go to flash it from computer make sure all programs are closed and don't open any while you are flashing it .that way nothing mess with it while it's installing .
when i install it will it be put in my programs menu

if you are talking about the customruu.exe no it won't .it's built in to the rom's package itself.you won't see it on your phone.just see it on computer after you unzip .
no when i install the radio will it be in my programs menu

Customruu.exe is the file you launch while your phone is synchronized to the PC. By using customruu.exe, your PC is transferring the new radio-rom data onto your phone (it's upgrading the radio-rom as this happens).

No, the radio-rom is a software upgrade. Hence, it won't be a program. It'll just be there in your phone (just like how you hardsSPLd your phone, that doesn't show up as a program).
cool ....theres so many to choose from, any more tips before i go to the rom section

My tip from my own experience: Try as many of them (radio-roms and ROMs) as you can!
Purpose: if you try as many as you can, you will eventually find one that will suit your needs. If you stick with one radio-rom or one ROM, you might not know what you're missing out on with others!
*Radio-roms depend on ROM and location. Not every radio-rom will be the same. I've tried 6 radio-roms, and I ended up with .17 being the best for me. So, try them and see which one is best for you.*
will these radio roms remove my today screen

Nope. Radio-roms only determine your phone capabilities (signal strength, data connections, and battery life).
Your Today screen only changes with custom ROMs. Custom ROMs change your Today screen to whatever it comes with.

HardSPL voids your warranty. Reflashing everything stock and the stockSPL will validate your warranty again.
Radios
Most radio come with custom ruu and are as easy as double click to install.
.88 seems to work best for me.
Good luck.

Are there other methods to flash the rom of my Herald (than the official .exe)?

It's not really recommended unless you can find the same ROM that your phone has now on the Herald Wiki (so you can restore your ROM in case you brick your phone).
But if you still want to proceed, there's tons of info already in the forums.
Thank you... I'm been searching for a lot but...
Ok, tomorrow I'll call the Customer Service

You can flash using Aserg's method.

I'm sure if you had read those entire two forums your phone would be working right now.
I've read the instructions on bottom of the post:
Extract file, copy ASerg Policies.CAB to PPC and Run it,then reboot driver.
Sync PPC to PC and run 1__UPGRADE_ROM.bat,Wait it 10-15 minutes.

Hi
I don't want to install a whole new rom at this time
I am using the O2 UK WM6 Rom
WHats the best version of cube, htc home and scroll to install please
I've been searching but there seems to be loads of variations
I want to try this before going down the new Rom route
i have been where u are now
a word of advice m8 these developers know what they doing and if u upgrade that 02 rom it will slow to a halt thats why they tweak the whole thing to make it run well
i installed a rom 2 daays ago and it was 2 clicks they compiled everything together unzipped folder and click this then click that took 20 mins and the cube is flowing nicely http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342298&highlight=Artemis+Touch+3.01+full
theres what i used it even has all the extras built in alternative networks etc only thing i added was htc to get custom tabs i like cartoonie ones
hope that helps
Also im a noob user not an expert found it easy
I would pm meschle to ask him about his roms, but right now I dont wanna bother him w/ petty material questions. Meschle, I wish the best for you and your family.
So if anyone else w/ experience can help here's my question:
I downloaded his Artemis 3.01 Touch lite ROM and unzipped file. Now what do I do? Do I need to install the EnableRapi and Cert_SPCS cabs before going to step 1? Do I need to run Artemis_USPL first seperately? I borked my SMT5600 trying to put a WM6 rom on it and am very weary of doing it to my precious Artemis.
If anyone could help w/ simple instructs also thanks.
BTW,
My phone is
ARTE100
WM5
ROM 1.12.405.1 WWE
Radio 02.67.90
the Touch ROMs, when unzpped has 2 bat files. It's clearly named "step1", "step2".
Just follow. Shouldn't go wrong. Step1 is actually the USPL.
Ok got it to work but, man, what a wild ride. It's really fast and I recommend doing this ROM update rather than trying alot of cabs.
Hays, its well worth just doing the ROM update. If you use Meschle's ROMs, they are fast and soo stable.

so, is there a way of installing bioscroll/cube without changing the ROM? I can't use the USB cable to connect to a PC (i have to copy cabs onto Micro SD, then install). My USB circuit has blown up from charging in the car so syncing no longer works, and phone is out of warrenty!

Is this possible? if so, could someone link to the files/thread, i have searched but not found seperate files, only ROMs.

Go to www.thewingster.com and click on the ROMs link on the side. Then make sure you use the right side of that page (for the T-Mobile Wing), and select your ROM. Once you find one you like, there will most likely be a "How to Flash" link on the ROM's page. There ya go!
There's some more ROM's on XDA that I haven't added to The Wingster, but most of them are on there. Enjoy!
It is in the FAQ
you should use this guide
I used the "A" method to flash a .nbh to my Herald
HI,
If I am testing different ROM's from various Dev, do I need to do anything to my HD2 before installing another ROM? or when you install a ROM, it essentially cleans it anyway??
Just wondering ....
A new rom is supposed to clean the old one BUT in reality it doesn't! You will have to do a Hard Reset every time you install a ROM and additionaly task29 with MTTY will be a good idea before you flash the new ROM!

it includes a radio rom image(it needs a rom of one kind or another present to work). remove the .nbh file that comes with it and replace with a radio that you know works on your device and it will work.
or you could replace the radio nbh with a splash screen nbh which means the process runs faster and you don't have to keep track of what radio you are using
Thanks for everyones help

Are you taking the piss?
1. Make sure your microSD is Formatted to fat32 (you dont have to delete all files but it is safer if you do)
2. Download your prefered Rom from the LEO Rom Develpoment Page and unzip/unrar it to your PC
3. Goto the Roms Folder and rename the .nbh file to LEOIMG.nbh
4. Copy the LEOIMG.nbh file to the root of your MicroSD Card
5. Plug the MicroSD Card into the phone
6. Reset the device while pressing the volume down button to enter the BootLoader screen, you will first see a tri-color screen with the phone and SPL Information at the top
7. Follow the On Screen instructions to start the update
8. After flash has completed, press the reset button with the stylus to reset the device.

U can get a official ROM from the HTC website, make sure u DONT get the newest, but the 1.66 ROM version.
Extract the *.exe to your desktop using WINRAR and u will have a .nbh file in there.
Have fun!

just tiny bit of advice for you (take it or leave it), if you had trouble finding how to install hspl on your own, i suspect you are going to have a few more difficulties getting android onto your HD2 (if thats your goal)
your right in saying dont post if you dont want to help, but you need to show at least an ounce of initiative if you want to avoid this type of response.
