Hello.
I want to intall a new rom on my htc wildfire. I currently use stock.
Can someone recommend a custom rom?
If something goes wrong, how can I get back to the original rom ?
Hello and welcome to the wider world of android
what you need to do is follow this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1145035&highlight=how+to+s-off+hboot+1.01.002 aand i personally recommend cyanogenmod 7 but you can always try a sense based rom if you come to miss it
good luck sir!
oh, and to get back to stock just flash a ruu from shipped roms. com
for me the best is CM7
Make a nandroid backup for tht..
U can flash a sense rom if u wnt the sense feature nd graphics coz sense has bst ui..
Bt if u want performnce..cm7 wil be best for u..
Good luck..
Areeb for htc wildfire

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..
hey brothers i think tht opal also should have a completely cleam winmo 6.5.3 rom plxxxxxx i love it on mi friends wizard which has less ram....i know ya guys can do it...and also brother winmo is all about customising and making changes to interface wen ya want... its not only themes..it has completely different uis tht can be swithched ezily... so ya gotta try these.....i guess after trying diferent lock screens games today screens thn aftr tht rty theroms

I've rooted my hero and have had a 2.1 sense rom on it for the last couple of days but have decided that i would rather go back to the orginal one and wait for the htc update.
Amd i right in think that i can download one of the rom of the HTC website and run it like normal and it will resotre my hero to default and un root it.

Why do you want to un-root?....
If you use the update thing from HTC, you will probably lose the custom recovery too.
Just install a stock ROM from Modaco's Stock ROMs + radios in update.zip format for GSM Hero .
You can also get rooted stock ROMS there.
Because i just want to have my hero how it was and if i'm having the stock rom as i may as well un root as the only reason i routed in the fisrt place was to be able to use a custom rom

But just think of the quality of custom ROMs that will be released once the official 2.1 is out!!!!!
If you want a stable 1.5 ROM to use until then, I recommend MCR3.2. I'v been using it since day one of me getting my HERO, no issues to complain about at all. Get it HERE
If not, then yeah, use the official HTC update, should put everything back to how it was when new.
Just to double check that running the update file off the HTC website will work as i'm going to unroot my phone now in preperation for the offical rom
Hey everyone ,
I m just wondering around if anyone knows where i can get stock winmo 6.5 ver rom for blackstone , i know there;s no build for blackstone {touch hd} ,
coz i m using cloudy's rom so they are pretty much same to stock ,
the main reason for doing that my phone when i try to wake up , the back light stays lit up but nothin else happens so i have to softreset everytime
If somebody knows the solution that would be great help
cheers
Ravage is what you are looking for!
If you are looking for the stockiest 6.5 rom available for the HD, then follow http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=633360. This is the best rom you would find for the HD. By Miniterror.
dont really understand your question.
you say you want a stock rom and that you know there is no stock rom, but that the rom you're using is almost stock.
what more do you want?
sorry for not making myself understandable, as u know htc hadn't released any stock 6.5.x rom for blackstone ,only 6.1 is available, as our developers are comping 6.5 build from other phones like leo etc.
my exact question was is there any clean winmo 6.5.x rom available , so that I can install on ma blackstone . I almost tried every latest rom , but i m not getting enough memory left after installation , except cloudy's and blackstonehenge which i m using right now.
Any idea, or help would be better, thnks guys
you should change this thread's title, it is confusing.
stock rom refers to a rom provided by the manufacturer or a carrier. what you seem to be looking for is a clean or lite rom. that would also be the names you should look for. there are dedicated lite/clean/vanilla roms around, that run manila 2.1 or titanium, that should offer you enough free space and speed, or did you, by any chance, forget to hard reset your phone after flashing. that will make your phone slower with every rom you flash
I m searching the best rom for WildFire.
i l tryet all are on this section ... an nothing like s me.
For exemple : Stock roms not working Angry birds for exemple and you can t overclock you proc ( instaled and last kernel ...)
Others , at least the Froyo versions ... hmmm my opinion Battery drainers ... With Stock Roms ( mine and one i dw ed ) my battery keep my device alive 4-5 days with Froyo roms with a lil luck 2 days.
So , in you opinions guys ... What is the best rom what exist in this moment?
The best rom possible it will be a clean one (my opinion) without tweeter,facebook,youtube,Actions,Meteo,Peep,Sense .... A clean one of Froyo.
It is a personal choice however I use the WildPuzzleROM_2.1 Eclair v1.0.1 because I have not found any bugs with it. It also has HTC sense so I can use friend stream. and with support for apps2sd good for all of my apps. I personally do not like 2.2 Froyo version as of yet as the friend stream application does not function.
However If you tell us what your looking for from your custom wildfire Rom then we might be able to help more
Im a very new xda member and im also searching for a totally stripped clean rom
And i couldnt find nothin
So i thought im gonna create one by myself
im still very new to all this so if u know anybody who could help me with that?
I tried using the kitchen but also that is kind a confusing
If you want a clean rom the best is openfire 2.3 doesn't have nothing installed and is the fastest rom for htc wildfire, but I rather the cyanogenmod rom and it is by far the best rom, but how dnelson94 says it is a personal choice.
Clean Rom
yes I would recommend openfire 2.3 for a clean Rom and good look with making your own
I only got a Wildfire a few days ago, how do I go about installing a rom. Does it void warranty or anything?

So if you want a custom rom ..you must root him , i use it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=788776 , only in this way you can ...
in my opnion ...is irevocable, so you will lose you warranty ... But this phone never crush , until you make something wrong, search, read and make IN THIS ORDER .
+1 for OpenFire 2.3. Made my phone much faster and smoother to work with and extended battery life a little bit.
Can't comment on Cyanogen as I haven't tried it yet.
+1 for OpenFire 2.3 too.
I have started with Openfire 2.3, then tried Cyanogen, but after flashinng patched market and getting FCs after each install, got back to backup of OpenFire. This roms is blazzingly fast and lightweight. Thus, Cyanogen has way more customization options. Maybe i'll try to put it again with some nightly build this weekend.
I will try to help you in installing rom..
Sent from my HTC Wildfire using XDA App cyanogen mod
It is a personal choice however I use the WildPuzzleROM_2.1 Eclair v1.0.1 because I have not found any bugs with it. It also has HTC sense so I can use friend stream. and with support for apps2sd good for all of my apps.
Does it have contact photo's and names ? and is it stable by all means ?
Well fastest Sense ROM is SUnAaBh .. See it in my signature..
Hey guys. Just bought an HD2, have flashed android 4.0 alpha on it, but I wanna give this phone to my girlfriend who lives in another state. She currently has a Mytouch Slide and I want to put a sense Rom on this phone because that's what she is familiar with. However I wanted to know what the most stable Sense Rom with the best battery life is? Is prefer a Sense 3.0 Rom but any version of Sense is fine. She doesn't use mobile web , only WiFi, and she usually texts and calls with it, very light app usage, if that helps describing her habits. Appreciate the input!
Flash this CLK bootloader in the right partition layout and follow instructions.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1114053
After that flash clockwork mod 5.2.0.6.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=987531
Partition your Sd card with a 1024mb Ext4 partition... you can do that with clockwork mod.
And flash this rom.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=908528
Most stable rom out there.... for daily use.
The advantage of CLK is that your HD2 boots like a native android.
So your girlfriend can't touch anything of the bootloader etc.
For any info take a look at this thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1336700
good luck
As the post above said, I personally find Android 2.2 with Sense 2.0 the most stable and fastest type of ROM out there. Perfect for daily use and if your girlfriend isn't bothered about having the latest version of Android

Thanks guys ill try both Roms for a couple days and see which I like more. She doesn't care to be on the latest version, but I personally prefer sense 3.0 or 3.5 cuz that's what I have on my sensation.

Check clk partition sizes, make sure you have flashed a clk (and sense) compatible kernel. First boot can take up to 10 mins.

Completely useless unless you give us more information, and wasting space seeing as you clearly haven't searched first.
