I am interested in cooking my custom rom.. is there any guide which can help me doing that? Is there any tutorial or a list of all the resources required in cooking the rom available for a500? Any help will be greatly appriciated ... I apologies if this question has already been asked but I have used the search but couldn't find anything
Aldo I believe this is the right section if the forum.. if I am wrong plz let me know and I will move accordingly (if only I can)
There's a new site, something like know your android (or something like that), where they have tutorials for these things.
Look at xda, as they did a promo for this site about a month ago. The site was developed by some of the root and rom guys.
I just can't remember the exact name, and I just wiped my os to install a new one, but if you look at xda's past reviews and news, you will find it.

Hey guys you really need to help me on this.
I wanted to update my athena to wm6. Unfortunatly i didnt run the unlocker before and now i can´t even do a hard resest.
But i can go in booloader mode. People adviced me run the unlocker but the athena isent recogniced by the unlocker. So i cant do this either. Except you can say to me what went wrong?
So i think the only thing to rescue my ameo is to get the original tmobile german rom so that i dont get the wrong vender id error.
If somebody of you can supply me with that it would be awesome. If not is there a way to make an installer or backup of the german rom. Because i have a friend who has a working ameo. But he is no geek. So the complex cant be to complex.
Plz help me my ameo is not running for days and i want to use it again.
You're going in the right direction by starting a new thread here. However, people with the skills may not be reading this forum. May I suggest that you post this question also on a forum more likely to be read by people who knows how to do this as well?
I was thinking maybe here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=259 since your question is relevant to all phones, not just Ameo.
Also, all the ROM cooks must know. May be PM them will give you better chance of getting help?
There is this very clever guy by the name of dark simpson who started this thread here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311909
I also suggest that you read this thread to get a feel of his area of expertise. I read only a few posts in the thread so far not think he definitely knows a tool that you can use to extract your ROM. Read this thread to see if your question is already answered. Else may be you could PM him to give you pointers on how to solve your problem.
Good luck, and I hope you get it working soon.
thank you that helps i will check the thread.
See the next post
This article is more directly relevant for your problem.

He outlined 9 steps there. The first step could be ignored as it deals with installing Olipro's unlocker.
Step 2 to 8 deals with backing up the ROM. Some steps pertains to optimizing the size of the bin file and is not really needed, but I guess there is no harm still. All the tools you need are there too. Step 9 is to flash the WM5 rom created by step 2 to 8.
After that, you could install Olipro's unlocker then flash to PK 3.0.
The author of this thread, Paul, looks like a nice and helpful guy. I suggest that you read his articleon how to back up ROM carefully. It's on a different device,but I think the principle is the same. Once you have understood the step, get him to help you to adapt the procedure for Ameo.
Hope that helps you.

thank you that looks quit complicated, i dont know if i can convice the friend to install a lot of apps on his device, he is more like a bussines partner but perhaps i find somebody on the net, who will do it for me and i can supply them with the guide.
What do you think in which forum im most likly to find somebody with the original german tmobile rom?
If you read the link carefully, you'll see that there is no need to install anything on your friend's unit. It will only do a read. Not write involved. Anyway, the most likely forum where people have that ROM is here.
Anyone still on Tmobile WM5 (german) able to help?
hey i carefully read the thread and even i don´t understand it fully. Its not that easy to do. I don´t think he can do it. This is procedure for experts. Anybody must have the original rom here.
ok thanks for your help. I found the solution in a german forum. For everybody needing the german rom go to http://www.ppc-welt.info/community/showthread.php?p=964813#post964813

Hi.
I am currently own a Samsung Omnia and I am planning to flash with custom Win6.5 ROM.
Before I do that I would like to backup my original ROM just in case anything happen I able to revert back as what I had right now.
My questions:
1) Is there any ROM Dump application available to do so for my original ROM backup?
2) Edit: There is NO better ROM. You need to test and read the feedback and decide for yourself
I know my questions are somewhere in the forum but there are thousands of them I hope someone kind enough to help me over here. Thanks in advance.

Edit: If you know there are thousand questions like yours, then search for those instaed of opening a new thread
Hi Ameet,
Thanks for editing my thread.
I am not expert like u which I able to identify which custom rom is stable or good for my phone by reading through thousands of thread over the forum. To me, all look the same and I do not know where to start. I know there is not prefect ROM available for every phone or everyone but I do highlighted as I am using Samsung Omnia and I hope someone using the same phone as me able to advise me that this ROM is much better or that ROM is for HTC and so on.
This is the reason i post this thread as I need help from someone expert like u to guide ppl like me, maybe you can just highlight a keywords that I need to search.
I thought the main reason of this forum to guide newbie for better understand on their phone or applications and has fun with it.
I am sorry if I duplicated this thread with same questions somewhere in the forum.

Recently downloaded the package from this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=562952
I love the design and all, im new to this forum, my friend introduce to me here.. anyways im just wondering if anyone mind explaining how i could do this and upgrade my Brand New HTC Touch HD to this package i downloaded from that link above? my current Version OS is WM 6.1 do i have to update to some kind of WM 6.5 Before i can flash this Rom onto my mobile or wat? or can i already just flash it straight from WM 6.1 straight to this File?
can anyone help me with this...?
hi shadowdx, welcome to this wonderful and supportive site.
Everything you need is contained within the site, all the info you need to successfully flash your fone, add useful apps and tweak away to your hearts content.
Can I respectfully suggest you take some time to research and digest the info you need, starting with the Wiki here . .
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
Take your time and small steps, if you get stuck on anything there are many wonderful and experienced users that will happily help you out.
I hope you enjoy your Touch HD and using this site as much as I do.
i recommend u sit down and take a look at at the different threads. look for the things u may want or even like to know about any questions u hav first search for it because it may hav already been asked about before u post the question
Hello, about a month ago, while i was looking to posts, there was a link about herald/wing roms, reviews tools screenshots etc all in one place.
Now i am looking for this site but, between thousands of links hard to find it..
And as i understand from that post, it was a wellknown site between this forums users..
Thanks for anybody that might help me find it
The wingster is the only one that I know of
http://thewingster.com/default.aspx
they also have rom info for the TP2...
That was it.. thanks a lot
I'm going to move this to General since it has nothing to do with the development of roms.
Well, it's all in the title and I'm sure it has been asked but I'd like it to be more HD2-specific.
Can someone point me to a blog, xda thread or wiki that explains how to cook your own CM rom ? HD2 related or something that would do.
I know a lot of threads that tells you where to start and what to do...but not much explaining the process all the way through, in order to understand it.
Any help on this ?
Thanks !
Well nothing ?
its been less than 24 hours
google is problem your best option or sending a message to one of the actual devs and waiting for a reply
Yeah I already contacted one...
Don't get me wrong: I've done some research but it's hard to encounter a step-by-step guide or a real bible.
Thanks.
yeah it is difficult to find the info, there are kitchens available but they dont really give you information on how to write the scripts etc which i think comes down to just having the knowledge of where to start and what to look for to modify/hack
Exactly. Wiki's tend to tell you "type this in terminal" but why I should do it, that they don't say. Of course, they can't explain every specitif command but at least the ones really related to the cooking rom process...
