Looking for a new rom

Hello all. I am new to this again. I am in the US Army and have been gone a while. I have a Sprint touch diamond and upgraded my rom to the 2.0 version. I am realy interested in an even better rom, possibly with the wm 6.5 that I saw on youtube. Can anyone point me to the correct ROM for my sprint phone? And is there a tutorial for this somewhere? The HTC download was pretty easy, are they all like that? Thanks.

Mainly all of the roms here are for gsm... Here's a similar thread, follow it

thank you...

Noob needs help please

New Questions here, old one at the bottom.
hi and thanks to everyone for your answers... you helped me a lot.
but:
I tried various 6.5 and 6.5.3 roms and found a lot of bugs in all of them... and that's not really my style. I want to go back to stock firmware 6.1 and there are not many options (or maybe i wasn't able to find them). Where can i find the Stock Firmware section or something like that, if they are unbranded even better, and if you can direct me to the latest one even better... i have installed the one from Orange in spanish meanwhile, i think it's Ver 1.57.75.3 found here. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566929 but if there are better unbranded ones i'll be very happy to install them... (how about this one: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521354).
Thanks a lot again in advance...
old Question:
Hi, i bought yesterday my new Opal and i have no idea how to update the rom to windows 6.5... I´m a bit of a perfectionist so i wanna get things right from the beginning, and i used to mod motorola phones so i understand some of the technical stuff, but htc is completely new to me.
So far, this is what i have understood:
to update:
1.- install hard_spl
2.- install custom ruu
3.- install new rom.
But i have a lot of questions on what is each one of those things and the advantages they give.
What does Hard_SPL do?
What is the Custom RUU for? (what is the RUU?)
What is the most stable and least customized rom with winmo 6.5? which rom is the most used by this forum?
What is titanium?
and last: how is the Opal unlocked? (if posible)
Mi goal is to update to winmo 6.5 but keep my phone looking as stock as possible and as stable as possible...
all the help i can get will be very appreciated...

Congrats for your Htc touch viva!
Ok now initially Htc touch viva has its official spl which would not allow your device to upgrade to custom roms. You can only upgrade to official roms. So Spl is a kind of lock To unlock that only we use Hard SPL After installing HSPL you can upgrade to custom roms.
And you understood slightly wrong because Ruu = Rom update utility its just a app which is used to upgrade your rom in your device. So u dont install that. After HSPL directly rom
And about the roms i cant say coz every one has different flavours try them all At last titanium is a new interface made by microsoft and introduced in wm 6.5 and above.

A Word of Caution....
I want to add one thing...(IMPORTANT!!!)
#1
WM6.5.x has not yet been officially released for HTC Touch Viva T2223.

#2:
If you are looking forward to experiment with it...go ahead on your own risk as your phone will be void of warranty after 'HardSPLing' it.

#3:
Don't think that a particular WM 6.5.x ROM will work for your device just because it worked like a charm on somebody's device. Believe it or not, though it may be the same model ex: HTC Touch Viva T2223, there are variations depending on the country.

I learned the hard way...I took a roundabout ticket....i HardSPLed my device, flashed custom roms, tweaked and played and fooled around with it and has come to a conclusion.

Stick with the Stock

P.S: I didn't mean to frighten you!!!!I can assure you 100% that your mobile won't blow up in your face even if you fiddled with it's innards!!

I want to add one thing to what freelancer said:
Imo it is not ALWAYS the best to stick with the stock version. I had branded ROM shipped with my phone, hardSPLed it and installed custom translated unbranded ROM.
Does the same thing as branded ROM did but way faster. And some features like the HTC task manager didn't work with branded rom at all. Now everything works just fine.
I agree that stock ROMs are the best/fastest, but just not if you have a branded one. It slows down your device.
Just my opinion

Lol, who said that stock is rom is best as far as about opal you should go ahead with custom roms i have seen that custom rom gives more free ram then stock. Plus task manager in stock rom that can be done in custom also the thing is the more the rom is lite the more efficiently your device will work do you know the stock rom .nbh file size is more than 100 mb whereas a normal custom rom is around 90 mb if there are many app and you can create less than 50 mb stock rom also. Wm 6.5 is perfect for opal inface wm 6.5.x also.

#3>>>>>>> WELL I have to disagree!!!! The hardware is all the [email protected]@@@ LOL
#>>>>>>>>HMMM It all bottles down to personel Taste,, bro
THE VERDICT!!!!
Custom Roms RULE!!!!!

i don't mean to disagree with you guys (you know better) but i didn't mean to say that WM6.1 v1-vx is bad but as far as WM6.5 is concerned....they have disadvantages like they are buggy and also consumes battery quite fast.
Appearance wise...WM6.5 is way ahead...but performance wise....I'll stick with WM6.1 anytime.
currently i am using WM6.1 v14 by PDAVIET it is nearly perfect!!!!
regarding differences in hardware...i was meaning the CARRIER...like Verizon, DoPoD, T-Mobile (MDA Basic), iDea (India) and so on...sorry...
regarding stockspl...mine was SPL 1.35.0000...i couldn't find any download link for that..

Alrighty, put my TribU2U v3 ROM into the HardSPL folder and take out the one that is there. Then run the Rom Update Utility. If that doesn't work, reinstall the three cab files again (that were in the HardSPL folder) and then run the canonyang rom and then run my ROM, I think you'll like my ROM..

thank you for your help man, i really appreciate it, i really do, but the thing is that i dont want custom roms anymore, i took a look to your tribU2U v3 and it looks great, but all i want is to downgrade my HTC P4350 WING US back to its original HTC windows mobile 6.0/6.1 rom without any changes, if you could help me to get rid of the WRONG VENDOR ID and put original HTC rom back i would appreciate it A LOT...
i dont want wm6.5, m2d, touchflo, plugins, programs nor nothing of those stuff, they make the phone buggy and very slow... and dont like'em
i just want the original cuz it comes clean, no visual pimping, no programs added or removed, ultra stable, and because of that the phone works great without errors and very fast... just as i like it

No problem. Thank you for at least trying my Rom.
All you have to do now is insert the original tmoble rom into the folder and take out mine and then run the rom update utility again. Look in my tribu2u thread and I should have the original rom somewhere for you. Just go the the last page and look backward.. Should be 10 to 20 pages backward.. I'd find it for you, buti'm on my phones browser..

Oh alrighty, lol. Not many users have an intermediate to advanced skill level as you. So I usually try to make everything as easy as possible. But yeah, that is what I was going to do for you - take the nbh file from the exe and upload it.

hahah thanks, yeah i have some good skills, but as im new in flashing WM roms i want to be careful cause i dont want to brick the phone, i used to flash motorola v600 to v3 flex in my time, psp's and those things, i just only need to now if i need toput the rom in the hardspl folder and install again the 3 apps or could i do it with the exe you just gave me?

man thats the tmobile rom not the HTC one :'(

can anyone help me pleaseeeeeeee :'(

HD2 T-Mobile Rom On Generic HD2?

Hey, Im new to this so im very sorry if ive posted in the wrong place.
just wondering if any one has any news on the new hd2 rom which is for the tmobile range. i would like to know if this rom will be coming to the non tmobile hd2's.
Thanks For All Your Help

You mean the US T-Mobile ROM? It's already available on the normal HD2 and has been for months. It's usually best to either use the search function or just read posts (you're going to get flamed for asking btw).

Just in case you haven't searched it, or couldn't find it.
This is a post from xmoo, with the new TMO-US rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=636387
Regards,

Flash an HardSPL and DON'T FLASH THE TMOUS ROM FROM SDCARD: it will overwrite your SPL with the new SPL2 and you won't be able to reflash the HSPL.
Flash from PC, it'll work flawlessly.

He PM'd me after my post and he knows

Thanks
Thanks For All The Help People!
Much Appreciated, Hope You All Enjoy Your HD2s As Much As Me!!

when you buy a new t-mobile HD2, make sure to flash your rom in order to get the best out of your HD2
here are the instructions to safely flash new rom (use any rom from the link provided. 2.10 is best):

Touch2 T3330

Hey guys, have tried searching but I couldn't find anything on this topic. I need your help over here. Anyway, I was thinking of running a cooked rom on my new touch 2, but after reading up, I realised that HSPL has to be for model number PB74100.
My touch 2 (under device ID) is T3330, and under the batt compartment, it's PB74200. So I'm a little confused as to how to proceed. Moreover, the rom version is 1.37.728.3
Anyone can help me out here? Thanks so much in advance.

Custom rom's for T3330 already exist.....so go ahead.....

Dude,
have u flashed your ROM yet? if you haven't please don't yet!! I have the same model T3330 non-camera 3G version as you.
I've successfully flashed cooked ROMs on my T3330 and there's no problems at all. Just search for this thread "HardSPL kit for Mega Touch2 by jockyw2001" and follow the instructions on Post #1 and page 11 or so.
The problem is I've forgotten to save the original ROM. If i need to send my T3330 back to Starhub or HTC for warranty, i'm pretty sure I have to flash back the original ROM.
Could you do me a favor to extract your current ROM out if u haven't already flashed a cooked ROM?
Thanks thanks!

Hi leoccl86, I'm from the same country and using the same phone.
Looking for a ROM to flash now but wondering which ROM carries Chinese(Simplified) support.
EDIT: Found.
