been researching on how to change roms anyone know of detailed instructions on how to do this right? PLEASE any help would be greatly appreciated..
There are two options:
With HardSPL
Without HardSPL
With is to use any custom ROM found on the ROM's thread.
Without limits your selection greatly.
You can install ROM's in two different methods. RUU (Rom Update Utility) or from the MicroSD card (1gb or smaller (results may vary by brand of card)) by placing the "nbh" file on the root of the MicroSD. Using the phones bootloader.
You can learn about all ROM's and find your preferred ROM and most authors provide the "How To" in their FAQ's. In other words they will specify how you can install their ROM.
Just a note most of the prolific ROM cooks that made the popular ROM's have retired in some manner or another. Your selection will be limited to the greatest hits from their retired library of ROM's. Since the Herald is an older device now-a-days you can not expect much as in "new" to make this device fresh and exciting. I recommend looking into these cooks/authors work.

Their ROM's were updated and reviewed by many users and have been optimized to most functionality as possible.
Note: The opinion I have referenced and stated is purely my opinion and not to be considered any definite fact towards this topic. In other words opinions are just opinions you need to come to your own conclusion.
Are the roms on this forums better than the latest official roms from Sony and what extras do they bring?
Also, can you go back to the official one without loosing your warranty?
Thanks for your help.
Hi there, since you're new I'll cut you some slack and help you with some links. I know your join date is June 2007, but you have 3 posts to your name.
In future though, try to use the "Search" button up at the top-right of the screen.

Yes, many people consider the ROMs being cooked here on XDA-Dev to be superior to the original SE ROMs for a number of reasons.
You could have a "lite" ROM with all the excess programs stripped out so you have the leanest sized ROM for maximum storage capacity.
You could have a "Full" ROM with speed optimisations and a LOAD of programs integrated.
Some ROMs address different languages or world regions and some are just one person's preferred setup.
In the end, it's up to you which ROM you want to try. This is a list of ROMs that are currently being supported and developed here.

YES, it is possible to perform these upgrades without damaging your warranty. Most custom ROMs need something called Hard-SPL installed to allow installation of non-SE ROMs. It is also possible flash back to your original SPL if you need to send the phone back under warranty.

Flashing a ROM to your phone is not something to be undertaken lightly as it is *POSSIBLE* (though not likely) that you could brick your phone (make your phone unusable). Here's a step-by-step howto for flashing a ROM.

Most people on here are prepared to help out with legitimate queries and questions, but please use the Search facility first. It could be that your question has been asked and answered by someone before.
Have fun!
Does anyone know if HTC will provide an official upgrade to WinMo 6.5 to TouchHD?
There was some statement about the case?
Was there any difficulty in the approval of this OS for our device?
I don´t want apply a cooked rom, there are many-many-many (thousands) versions here, allways have some detail or problem in each cooked rom.
PS: Each one prefers a particular rom, some report only minor defects, some say the best performance, others say the rom is perfect (but there is never sure who really tested all the features).
In short, the ideal would be an official rom and that is why I put this question.
Best regards!

Been asked countless times before. Existing threads on this subject including this one. All you need to do is search. In future try using the 'search' option before creating a new thread
