Hi,
Here's a review of WojtasXda's first publicly available Custom ROM for the Huawei Ascend W1. In this video I show the possibilities of the (leaked) ROM, which can now be downloaded officially in following thread.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2686053
The Ascend W1 is a great phone and thanks to reker and WojtasXda it became even better. Thank you very much, we really appreciate your work!
Hope you like my video and that this is the proper section to publish it.
Best regards,

I used the above link to cRaCKwHoRe's guide, and flashed NRGZ28's Rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=524032, I never bothered checking radio etc and it works like a dream, wm 6.5 rom and super fast.
Cant impress upon you how important that guide is, I couldn't have done it without it, and Im regularly updating now....happy flashing!

ROM FLASHING GUIDE
Well lately i have noticed a lot of first timers have joined this community with Wildfire.. We affectionately call them noobs .. SO here is my guide to flashing rom right now its very simple anyone can do it without this guide but for all the first timers who are feeling uneasy or unusual I hope this will help.
Note::WILDFIRE is now completely rooted GO HERE and follow the instructions to root your phone.
In Case you need MORE ROOTING INSTRUCTIONS JUST CLICK.
UPDATE:: If you have already rooted your phone or planning to root it you can get the CUSTOM ROMs Wildpuzzle here
Vibes v1.1 One Stable and one under trial ROM. You can contribute by testing the new ones. thanks.
IMPORTANT:: If you are planning to install a custom rom leave this guide Now without following the steps below and follow the Rom flashing instructions at the Custom Rom Page.
Update :: Flashing ROMS with Goldcard ?? Well HERE IS THE COMPLETE GUIDE INLUDING:
1>How to create Goldcard?
2>How to flash roms with goldcard?
STEP 1 > Go to www.shipped-roms.com and download the rom relevant to your area which you want to flash. Mind this a Uk rom cant be flashed on a phone with Indian Rom i.e Rom from different areas can not be swapped until unless it is rooted make sure to download ROM from your region.
Edit 1: In case you have already rooted your phone and want to get adventurous you can download custom ROMs or Any ROM for your device you can flash any (Wildfire)ROM.
STEP 2 Download HTC Sync™ 3.0.5387 if you dont already have it. Just enter the serial no. which can be found on wildfire Box box and install it on the PC/Laptop you want to sync your phone data with.
STEP 3 After installation connect your PC and Phone with provided USB cable and on the prompt/notification on your phone select HTC sync.
Now very important :: Sync your phone and Backup your data, messages, mails and contacts. You can use backup apps from the market too.
NOW FLASHING TIMESTEP 4 Its Advisable to keep your phone more than 50% charged. Now run the RUU_*_#.exe ie rom file you had downloaded in STEP 1.
STEP 5 Just Follow the on screen instructions on your PC/Laptop.
TAKE CARE:: During the flashing
>>>do not disconnect the USB cable.
>>>The phone will enter the boot-loader mode during this time.
The whole process will take around 10 minutes.
UPDATE: All those who want to Unroot or remove Root just Flash Official RUU***.exe
Have Fun.
Thank you so much, I will use it later.
One question for step 1.: shipped-roms.com are not adding new ROMs since 20. July 2010. Are there any other sources for new ROMs?

Sadly there is no such single source for download since Shipped-roms stopped uploading new roms.. we will Just have to post the links here as and when we find/extract new roms.. presently i dont have a ROM different from Shipped-roms as and when i have one i will start a separate relevant thread for the collection of roms..where we all can post links to our uploaded roms
its nice to see you putting so much effort in the buzz forum here!
thank you and keep it on
i hope root will arrive soon.

Thank you so much Buddy .. it just comes with the love for the community and your device. Its important if we can help use these devices to full potential.. and its a combined effort from all of us that helps.. so My thanks goes to all..
Hope things here would be of some good to you too..

Thank you very much for the guide, it realy sounds very simple!
I am a total newbie, never had a smartphone before, never had to deal with ROMs, etc, and I am thinking of getting a Wildfire next week, and if flashing ROMs is done this way, it won't be such a difficult thing to do.
Just a question: Is Wildfire's Bootloader locked or unlocked?
Thank you.

Thank you and welcome we are all newbies at least once in our lives .. Ok now i did not get your question's intention very well but you can access your bootloader i.e you can go to bootloader mode of your phone but you can not flash unsigned ROMs ie custom roms or original roms from another region.. That will be done once the phone is rooted.. Many people including me (though i am not very good at it still i am trying ) are working towards it.. we hope to get it soon then a lot of developments and hacks can be done for this device..

Sorry if I wasn't very exact in my words. I meant exactly what you answered:
If you are able to Flash whatever ROM you want, like Desire/Nexus One users do, but Milestone (for example) users cannot, even though their smartphone is rooted, the Bootloader is Locked.
So from what I understand, when Wildfire gets finally rooted we will be able to Flash whatever unsigned ROM we want.
Keep up the good work and hope you root the phone soon!
Thank you Warrior for this write-up!
I've got some experience in flashing ROMs on a WinMO Phone but a total n00b with Android Phones...
Small question for you if you don't mind...
When looking at the 'What is your firmware' post (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=722988), I notice I have exactly the same firmware than the Original Poster although he is from Germany and I'm from Belgium. Others with the same firmware were from Denmark and France.

On my Phone, I can choose between Dutch, French and English as language for the operating system. I guess our German friend will have a German language option on his Phone and the Danish guy will probably have yet another option (Danish). Are all these different languages contained in the ROM itself??
Can we all use the same ROM file from Shipped-ROMs.com?
The only ROM on shipped-ROMs that completely corresponds to the version numbers I see on my phone is this one:
RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3.35.15.31_release_130814_signed.exe

How would I recover the Dutch and French language options if I would ever need to install this WWE ROM??
Thanks for any clarification!
Sylvain
I'm asking the same question as @Sylle.
I have the same firmware, software, etc. numbers as he does. I've bought my Wildfire from Vodafone Romania (also locked on this network - this is the reason I want to change the ROM, until a rooting method is discovered) and it has the locale ROM (I'm guessing Central - Eastern Europe or something...it also has Polish, Czech and so on).
I'm goind to put the WWE ROM (RUU_Buzz_HTC_WWE_1.14.405.2_R_Radio_13.45.55.24_3. 35.15.31_release_130814_signed.exe) but i would like to know if there's any way to extract the current ROM? Or to make a backup of it, in case I ever need it later..
Many thanks for this topic; definitely going on my "subscribed to" list.
I am a n00b to ROM flashing, but not to *nix systems; anxiously awaiting root, at which point this info is going to come in handy.
I just wondered whether anybody knows if HTCFlasher (the Linux Flash software) works with the Wildfire?

Hey dude all you answers one by one :: First things first i am myself new to android flashing but i was pretty good on windows devices not just flashing but a lot of other stuff too..
ALL ANSWERS ARE TO THE BEST OF MY KNOWLEDGE EVERYONE SHOULD FEEL FREE TO CORRECT ME IN CASE I AM WRONG::
About language packs inside the rom ::
There are no extra language packs inside ROM other than what you can see.. what i mean is there is no hidden language pack that can be somehow hacked and enabled.

I see that you have found a ROM that corresponds to your ROM..so you can very well go ahead and flash it but to get back to your Original ROM you have to wait till the ROM you Presently have is posted somewhere ..or rooting is done..hence many options will be open to us..
ALSO UR ROM CANT BE BACKED UP AS OF NOW but once rooting is done you can back it up using NANDROID..
I can not try Rooting this as i gifted this phone to my younger BRO and i just have 3 more days to play with it.. i recently have bought HD2 and left my JOB for my Furthur studies so can not spend like i used to earlier .. i am saying this coz it makes me sad as other DEV's are neglecting wildfire for other high end devices and i am not able to help much still i am trying my best..
A quick request: would it be possible to write a similar n00b guide for those of us on Linux (perhaps Ubuntu specific)?

Hey would love to do that i already have UBUNTU 10.04 on my laptop but never bothered trying flashing on it .. I think since Android is Linux too so it should be easier to root and flash on Linux OS in this case Ubuntu...
BTW i remember something about HTC Flasher..Even more info and discusssion HERE so if you like you can do a bit of your own research too..also there is a thread for Rooting Aria on Ubuntu butfor this to be done on Wildfire we need unrevoked to work on our Wildfire first .. sorry mate this month is my Exam so i am devoting a little less time here in forums..

Hi, thanks for the reply (and good luck with your exams!)
One of the things about being new to this scene (I've quite a lot of programming experience) is the lack of a centralized source for information on existing devices. Getting your head around the terminology can be tough. Furthermore, while there are device specific roots, they rarely give insight into the technical process that is going on behind the scenes. I'd really like to gain some insight into the methods people go through when developing a rooting technique.
For instance, say a kernel level exploit is acquired and you obtained a root shell; what is the process for installing the su binary? (what changes are necessary and, because it's a ROM, where would the binary live?)
A lower level resource that started from scratch explaining the boot process, file structure, signing and verification procedure would be ideal, but I haven't yet found one.
(P.S. not necessarily requesting this, just voicing that this seems to be an area that is uncatered for)
Thanks again for the guide.

Hello Phunctionist!
I've been reading a bit more about the subject and I would like you to check something out so that I can confirm my suspicion...
You can change/add more locale (which determines the language of your Android OS) by installing the application 'localeswitch'.
However this doesn't add text input prediction for that language. I have the impression this is included in your keyboard software (Input Method extension - IME) on an android phone.
As we both have the same firmware, i'm wondering if we have the same input settings available for the keyboard as I also have options for Polish and Czech.
Amongst others does your keyboard for example allows you text prediction for
- Dutch (Nederlands): mine does
- French (français): mine does
- Croatian (Hrvatski): Mine does NOT
Hope your answers will bring me some clarification...
Thanks in advance!

Do enlighten us too as and when you get clarification .. coz none of my friends are using this phone so i am not able to get this thing cleared..

Asia has their own rom so you must download the Asia rom.
Not sure if it will fix your problem.
I want to know if there is an official update available for my omnia II GT-i8000.

If anyone can exract the UI so we can install it without flashing the device it'd be very nice.
Why don't you just use a real WP7 ROM? It's leaked and available, but even if you wait for the finished article I doubt you'll be waiting for very long.
It's very nice, by the way, but I've gone back to Android.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4BL-Ts2D--8 http://www.megaupload.com/?d=GS1DVB7G
first install the maglr 1.12 and then fresh install the wp7 =)
note: when u install, they will format all sdcard
Can I know if it is real? or not?
If yes it is great!!!!!!
Yes I think it is real!
Thanks DFT!!

Hi!
Good day!
I have a HTC HD2 with Android 2.3.4 installed in it and I would like to try/ switch to Windows Phone7. I've seen a few videos over youtube and read some of the threads here but all I see are windows 7 BETA roms. Is there a "final" rom for the HD2? If not, where do i find the latest Windows 7 ROM for my HTC HD2?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1427611 - This thread seem to have compiled all the ROMs and updates for HTC HD2 -Windows (Thanks to the efforts of the developers and the one who compiled) but I cannot seem to figure out which ROM to get. Any assistance would be very much appreaciated.
Apologies for asking a very basic question.
Thanks!
Carlos
WOW..
I don't really know what you mean with BETA roms, because all those roms shall be very well developed, in my eyes.
"A final rom" by meaning a rom that is almost as much developed as the official released WP rom, then you can just choose one from the development threads. In ex. my HD2 is running on XBmod rom and is just like running on a official rom for me. There are many good roms like the one made by HD2Owner, or the on by Pdaimatejam etc. All these roms are WELL developed, not a BETA.
But if you mean a final one by meaning that the development is good enoug so the rom is stopped on development, you can't find one, because all roms are still getting new features just like the official one is updating itself
here you find all ROM's for HD2
recommend this one
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1356833
dont forget to read tutorial for install
also dont forget to need ask Microsoft for Live activation code (all HD2 ROM's need this)
Thanks!

All the ROMs are basically the same, albeit tweaks the chef may have added. You have to realize that WP7 is constantly updated by MS...just like Android. All the ROMs sporting v8773 (Tango) have the BETA v8773 build. Thus, when MS releases the official final version of v8773 you'll have to reflash your phone and install all your apps again when the chef releases an update.
The Yuki/XBmod ROM is on the official v8107 (Mango). It is also the most stable and the only updatable custom ROM via official MS Zune update. As such, no reflash needed. It is no longer chef supported, but it's still the most stable one of the bunch.
I have tried almost all of the ROMs out there and still use Yuki/XBmod on my phones.
Hi hjhjhj ,
Noted on that. Things seem clearer now.
I just did it! I was able to boot my phone on Win7 woohooo!!!
Thanks to all who replied to my query
Ok one last problem, when i call Microsoft help desk and ask for an activation code, what details do they ask? will they make sure I have a phone originally installed with WP7?
