Hello everyone, i think this is the correct section for my thread
I am making a hardware matrix, i plan to put it on the wiki when its finished so everyone can see it,
Imho the matrix can be used to see which official roms are compatible, and which devices have the same hardware so we can get drivers from different official roms.
Also this might bring wm5 or 6 to devices that did not have them before
Attached is a XLS file with the current info i have been able to gather
I ask everyone and anyone to please add information, preferably exact details like manufacturer of the part, and the part id.
Your thread is likely to get lost soon.
I suggest that you start the wiki page first, and then ask a mod to make a link to it sticky.
Modaco has a table of hardware, and HTC also, although they are not very technical.
It's a good idea - and having links to rom cooks' pages would also help keep the noobs happy when seeking compatible roms.

i tried to make the wiki table, but i keep getting the following error:
Code:
Plugin OldStyleTable failed. Line does not begin with a '|'.
EDIT
Its a bug in the WIKI, even the test code doesnt work http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=OldStyleTablePlugin
where can i report problems with the wiki?
found the problem, it was due to use old being checked
i finally made the page
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HardwareMatrix
Hi guys!
I'm not easily puzzled by terms and stuff to do to tweak your hardware, but since I'm all new to WM, I am trying to make sense of how to go ahead with running a custom ROM. I have a TC with original UK ROM.
First, obviously I should make a dump of my currently installed ROM. I am just very unsure how I achieve that?
Second, I have figured out that I need to Hard-SPL to get rid of certificate-checking in de device to run ROMs.
Third, I need to flash a custom ROM ... at this point I can have my way with the device, and do what I want. Also, not clear how I do that, unfortunately
Offcourse, at some point I will want to return my device for maintenance, warranty or maybe even sell it ... at which point I need to un-do the HardSPL hack, and reflash with the original image ... How would I go about that?
I've searched the forum, and I couldn't find it unfortunately, maybe, since I am a newbie, I missed a term to search for, or maybe I completely misunderstood
Any hints are very welcome!

All of your questions had been answered a number of times already in this forum so there's only one thing you can do, Search and you will find the answers.
Hi. I'm actually searching for the same stuff and haven't found some all-in-one topic yet.
Don't mind "kutonglupa", i'm beginning to think he's a bot on this forum. Even though you say (i did it too) that you used the search function he can only come with one response: "use the search".
I'll keep searching too.
Try this for starters: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
You probably know this already
Hard-spl flash:
Download hard-spl
Plug the usb cable to your pda.
Run RomUpdateUtiliy on PC.
PDA will display tricolour.
You will be asked REPLUG you usb cable. DO IT!
After a few second Hard-spl will be upgraded!
Rom flash:
Download the rom
Step manually to bootloader (press and hold camera button and press reset)
You will get a tricolor screen.
Plug the usb cable to your pda
Start RomUpdateUtiliy.exe (or Rom.exe) on you Pc.
Pda screen will be grey, you will see the process indicator.
When it is 100%, update is finished.
Radio-rom flash
The same as rom flash above, just download and use the radio-rom.
Back to offical rom + radio:
The same as rom flash above, just download and use the offical rom!
Back to original spl:
At this time no working method as I know...

See! Now you know you'll find a more comprehensive explanation if you'll just search, init? You've learned the lesson and you've earned your respect. CONGRATS DUDE!
Thanks
Newbie thanks for opening this thread,
it give a very good overview what to really do for flashing the Rom without having to read through XX Pages.
Unfortunately I have still have not found a right link on how to backup my orginal O² German ROM.
What do I need for this just in case I do need to send in the Polaris?
Is the software specifc for the Polaris?
Look forward for a quick note.
Cheers
Rar9
Be careful with what you try from the Kaiser forum in terms of tweaks though, I've read people had problems using them on the Polaris. see the Polaris tips and tricks thread for details

Thanks dude. You're welcome!
I was reading now in the whole forum for about two whole afternoons, and I have to say that I still have the same questions as the threadstarter.
These questions answered once and for all, this thread would be worth pinning in my opinion, because complete newbies don't know where to find the necessary information in this really huge forum.
For the case someone wants to come up again with "use search", I will try to make clear, what problems of newbies (including me) are:
For example: I now already found three different lists of HTC-cab-files in the forum, one here in the polaris-section, one in the general section, a half one in the wiki... often without version-info, and so don't really know whats the actual one...
so far so confusing, I tried to search for the answers onto the exact same questions as the threadstarter posted. in the wiki, there is simply nothing on WM6, no tools, no real how-to, nothing a newbie can use.
Only thing I could understand from wiki, is that cooking an own ROM, needs to have a unix(-like) OS, and even there, I'm not sure if it is still actual for WM6.
Reading a bit around, I then was glad to at least find out that the devices are locked for non-certified ROMs, and that one needs to do that HardSPL.
Well that's as far as I could get until now, and I really don't know much more than before. Pretty unsatisfactory...
So could anyone make (or point to) a little overview of what one needs to know about dumping, flashing WM6-ROMs, and before flashing, what one needs to "cook" an own ROM.
Perhaps I was imagining this way to easy, but I thought about nLite/vLite-style applications for customizing ROMs?! Probably you'll all laugh at me, but I would very much appreciate taking me serious, because I want to learn how to do it. Simply don't want to lose time searching the forum for information, that don't help me advance...
thanks a lot
Eric
EDIT:
well I found this, which I can only recommend to all newbies: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
with this, questions of flashing are all answered,
but what tools one needs for dumping, flashing, editing ROMs and all of the remaining questions mentioned above remain open
I have some suggestions in regards to making the forums more viewable;
1- A moderator operated LOCKED topic sticky that links to the topics of new roms in the windows mobile 6 for "phone type" forum.
2- A moderator operated locked topic sticky that links to radio rom topics.
3- Standard to be added to any new rom post with the following items;
a- recommended ipl/spl
b- recommended radio rom
c- category of people rom is recommended for ; "power users, noobs, casual , business....etc"
4- a specific topic for each (or all) radio roms, with some kind of idea of what benefits they provide.
------
the reason i give these suggestions is that alot of the questions seem to be aimed exactly at these points , and my own personal experience of trying to find information seems to be a nightmare sometimes. (searching for accurate information on a radio rom is HELL) i do believe these can be applied to the forum in general.
edit: i've realized i accidently posted this in the wrong forum, please move to the appropriate one.
Thinking of posting a new thread? Please read post #2
This thread will list and link to all threads worthy of being "stickied", it will be the only sticky in the forum (bar one) so please dont ask.
Please leave your suggestions for new threads [with the thread link please] to be added to this list below and a moderator will attend to this as and when necessary.
This thread will be cleaned periodically so dont take any offense if your message is deleted. Just trying to keep things clean so that new requests are easy to find.

as much as the tidy up is great, i truly believe that making the "Complete Leo Flashing video guide" and "how to flash everything" a bit less obvious to find (as these are after all intended for newcomers) is perhaps a little unwise.
ultimatly is up to XDA, but just my thoughts
Great idea: a sticky to collect stickies J
Just an additional thought: can't you guys define subfolders in a forum? Isn't it easier to have in each forum a subforum called stickies?

If we start to notice an upsurge in posts asking how to flash then maybe a flashing guide will be stickied back in the forum but this way cuts down on people saying "well if that one is stickied why cant mine be stickied"..
Dont worry I will keep an eye on posts and act accordingly

A stickie roll-up thread is alot easier to manage. If a subforum called 'Stickies' was created then it would need maintaining and non stickie worthy post being moved which means more work (and none of us wants that)
This way everything can be categorised and more useful info added.

Sounds as a really great idea. Now, all we need are some roll-up threads for roms, clocks, icons etc. So the reader can reduce his workload also (ahum)
bad idea
stickies was looking cool and these are easy for new users ..
specialy hsp thread , vbn files , must be sticky @ all !!!!!

No the concept has been around for a long time (originally created by a great mod called DaveShaw I think) I just modified it for the HD2 Forums.

But with this organization you can still easy find those important threads AND (and I like that very much) threads with much or new activity will "stick" themselves back on top of all threads. Very useful when something new is happening in one of those threads.

The purpose of this thread is to solicit discussion on Supersonic related wiki pages since everyone may not be comfortable updating the wiki directly or familiar with the wiki syntax. This will also serve as a sanity check for the people maintaining the wiki pages to ensure we are getting the right information out in the best possible format and organization.
You can view all Supersonic related wiki pages here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Category:HTC_Supersonic

Custom Roms vs. Dev Roms
What do we see as the difference between Custom Roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs#Custom_ROMS) and Dev Roms (http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs#Dev-ROMs)?
All Roms are pretty much under constant development. I think these two tables should be combined.
Added CyanogenMod wiki page
Wiki page devoted to our favorite community based AOSP ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=HTC_Supersonic/ROMs/CyanogenMod
Missing a theme? Or other key information? Let us know.
don't know if this thread is still active, but as I'm unfamiliar with editing wikis, but I'm full of ideas (and I have a big mouth), I thought I'd list some discussion items here. I'm working on the assumption that the wiki should be one of the, if not the, first place new users shouldbe looking to get information.
1 - remove the radios from the rom section, and give it it's own section on the main wiki page - it's too confusing for new users to locate this information under roms
2 - instead of just linking to roms, kernels, radios, etc. from the main page there should be a few sentances on what each is above the link to the new page - something simple defining each term, and some basic instructions on how to flash each (what should be wiped, what goes on top of what, etc).
3 - would also like to see some info on the main wiki page on nandroid (and the importance of nand backups), hboot, recovery info for both amon ra and clockwork, what wiping means and what it does, themes and themeing, and possibly even a section on popular apps and what they do, like setcpu (and what it means to over/underclock), various launchers (like rosie, adw, launcherpro, etc), and various benchmarking tools and what they measure.
I could probably think up a bunch more, but I'll see what kind of response this gets before posting more
