I am sure if i found here a right section to post my thread pls correct me if i am wrong in any way....
I'm a newbie here. Lately, i spent some certain time on checking out this forum, and found most i needed. I must say this is such a great ppc site which's globalized with many experts from all over the world.
By following the tools and instructions provided by experts here, i believe i successfully unlocked my HTC device, and i'd like to do a switch with other Roms. Unfortunately, i couldn't get it though i found. Because i don't know why they were just uploaded to Rapidshare which it's pretty hard for me to get it. My HTC device has too many unuseful built-in programmes that i don't need at all.
So i hope some one can help with out there
here's my device info.
HTC P3600 WM6 Pro. (Eng)
CE OS 5.2.1437(build17944.0.3.1)
Rom:3.00.707.17
Rom date:06/29/07
Radio:1.16.00.00
Protocol:32.53.7018.01H
thank you

There are plenty of "light" roms. These have virtually no programmes installed and so you can put on just what you need. Check ou t a light ROM - and update your radio - you can then use the GPS in your trinity, too.
it's a common misconception that removing programs from the rom somehow free up space to use for other things
rom space is rom space and using a rom which dont fill it up dont leave more space to storage or other programs
if programs are in the rom and not autostarted when the pda starts they have absolutly no impact on performance or anything for the pda
Got cha man
thank you for your explanation....but can i ask you a question? What if i get O2 rom into my HTC P3600, would it be possible to do that...? i hope to get more information....hehe....thanks
i have the cingular 8125 and i dont know how to even get TouchFLO on it at all...i dont know if my phone is compatible with it soooo i need some help.
Thanks
oh and i need the windows mobile 6 upgrade...ne 1 know how to upgrade?
TouchFLO wasn't meant for the Wizard. It was meant for the HTC Touch. In fact I'm almost seeing it as a waste of resources these days. But if you want, look for a ROM that contains TouchFLO, particularly TNT series, which are found in this thread.
And if you want WM6, educate yourself first on the Wiki here on this site so you'll know more about your Wizard and what/whatnot to do with it.
You cannot flash to another rom without first unlocking your wizard. Read the stickies on how to do this. Assuming your wizard is a G3 device you can flash a new rom daily once you are cid/sim unlocked...if your device is a G4 it will be more difficult. Again, read the stickies first...then find a rom you like and flash away.
Greetings, I flashed my mda last year by following the simple instructions on this site (thanks), yesterday I received a wing and decided to flash it. But I'm not really understanding all the terminology. I remember how easy it was to flash the mda, is there a way to flash the wing as easy? thanks

read... look... and ull find.. its NOT HARD AT ALL>>>
It's still easy just requires some reading & following directions.
IMO the easiest way is to use opentouch 3.0 with USPL, it's like 2 steps...no need to add a million individual .cabs or reg tweaks, it's cooked in
Here's a link(paying back karma for my own newbie questions!):

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

Visit modaco.com! There is a entire section about cooking roms for O2
really im happy that some guys answered, but ¬¬ nothing usefull....
i really searched for cooking 2.5 in o2 DOESNT EXIST and WHO KNOWS in modaco dont share.....
about the guy that sayed to read read and read.... THATs what im looking for... WHERE IS THE FILES TO READ???
thanks. no offense for anyone please...
So, what file do you have??? you must collect all the files and using a software you can cook your own rom. The problem is that i don't know if there is just a software to cook compatible with omnia2.
No body is interested!!!!!!!

Nobody is going to help you, as I have been searching for the same info. Everybody points to modaco but nobody there want to share this so called secret. There is no visual kitchen which can cook for Omnia II, there are certain tools which can be used for this purpose but still dont know how to integrate Sense 2.1 or 2.5 into that rom. Hope somebody can help us........but I doubt as nobody is interested in our Omnia II.
If you find anything........please do share.
CDMA or GSM ???
Try the GSM omnia2 8000 thread at MODACO
or
CDMA Omnia i920 thread at MODACO.
Both phones look the same but their insides are very different and rom's can't be exchanged very easily.
So It's not that no one cares your just not quite clear enough in your request.
The info is there just not in this thread....at the moment.
its all about baby steps (I love that movie!)
first cook a stock rom, then a custom rom, then dabble in a sense rom.
It doesn't just happen over night, but many many sleepless ones.
