Hi,
is there any way to get pure WM6 ROM, with no addons, no extroms - only WM6 OS and nothing else ?
And is it possible to extract (or get somewhere) separate .cab files for applications that come with various cooked ROMs ? (HTC touch app, Comm manager, ...)
thx a lot,
m.
When You upgrade to any WM6, the update procedure writes also the ext.rom, and later on the addons will be installed from the exrom. To avoid that, make a hardreset, and when the screen appears, that the addons would be installed within .. seconds, make a soft reset. With ExtRom_utility, You can make this rom visible, and You can backup the files located in the exrom to your PC.
I flashed a WM 6.5 rom to my MDA Compact III, but I want to go back to the original HTC WM 6.1 ROM that was on it.
I downloaded that, but I don't want all the stuff, just the OS.
Im going to flash it, but when do I exacly need to do the resets?
Or can I just delete the ExtROM, or whats in it?
=======================================================================
I flashed it and I saw wat you meaned.

You can use HTCRIE to edit RUU_signed.nbh from WM6 ROM , then you can add or reduce the applications that you deem necessary Good Luck
Wow guys, this topic is like, 4 years old! I really appreciate the fact that you use the search function, but still, if a thread is older than a YEAR and there hasn;t been a post in it, create a new thread.
But if the thread has nothing to do with ROM development, as in this case, post the question in General.
I'm closing this.
Hey everyone,
Is it necessary to HardSPL before every ROM update?
I have dutty rom but bbc iplayer dosen't work on it so thinking about changing to another one...
Also what is the best way to pick a ROM? What do you compare?
Thanks
No, once you've installed a Hard-SPL it will work for every ROM update. Well, Hard-SPL's that support unsigned ROM's will work for every ROM update. Hard-SPL's that only support signed ROM's will work only on signed ROM's.
As for comparing ROM's; that is very personal.. Most popular ROM's are very much the same if it comes to speed. Differences are mainly in functionality, stability and the way they look out of the kitchen. Read the ROM topics and find out if what they have to offer suits you!
Do you want a tweaked and full functional ROM with a lot of applications cooked in? Or do you prefer a light or naked ROM, so you can save your space for just the applications you prefer and tweak it yourself?
Do you want it to look like a HTC stock Diamond or do you like what some cooks have done with the way the taskbar and TF3D look? Remember that you can install all applications, do some tweaking and change the look of your Diamond yourself.
As for stability, read the member remarks in the ROM's topics! That will give you a clue what to expect.
Just a question from my side which I cant seem to find an answer for (might be using the wrong search syntax). A ROM update should not affect the workings for your cell provider? As long as you know the MMS and other settings you can use any English (home language) ROM and your device will still pick up your service provider without a hitch?
My reason for asking is because I have noticed that even though HTC has released a new ROM past 1.93, if I go to the website enter my serial the only ROM I can download is still the 1.93. Thats why I am asking this n00b question...
I am new to this so sorry if I sound like an idiot
Also this has probably been posted a hundred times but I couldnt find a clear step by step from beginning to end for newbies.
So maybe this can be a topic for the rest
How do I go about removing the rom I have on it now and adding a custom one
I have a Bell HTC Vogue
Someone said update the radio(how do I do this and where do I get it)
and what do I do after that?
Thanks and sorry again in advance
Real question is WHAT do you want to do with the phone ..
Currently there are 6.1 custom ROMs that are similar to original but function better
Then there are 6.1 ROMs with Touchflo2D AKA Manilla on them so they function like a Vogue but look like a Diamond or Touch Pro
Then there are the newest ROMs out there based on WinMO 6.5, completely new interface and functionality
but the idea is the same as far as step by step and there are LOTS of directions out there and search and patience can be your friend
1 - know what you want, look about and read about the different ROMs
- that is up to you do do but NFSFAN has both 6.1 and 6.5 ROMs going currently and worth a look
6.1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
6.5 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487&page=238
2 - Know your radio version, this can be done by restarting your phone and at the bottom reading the "R" number should be something at least 3.42.30 (higher is OK but not necessarily needed - search for Bell Radio for links for more info)
3 - read this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=20370
that is the most comprehensive thread on unhlocking a phone, 2.31 Coke Unlocker is what you'll need, but first READ READ and then READ more it is very important you understand everything that can occur
4 - have your original ROM handy in case something goes wrong you can flash back to original and start over
5 - unlock phone
update radio
flash ROM of choice
Hard reset to reflash ROM (just a precautionary step seems to eliminate issues before they can happen)
Wipe hands on pants and dance away
Detroit Doug
ok I have 3.42.50 so where would I find this "Radio"
Detroit_Doug, big thanks I downloaded the unlocked
followed the onscreen instructions, put nsf's 6.5 on here and then hard reset it, everything works great
and are you actually in detroit?
any idea where I can find a identical diamond theme for this 6.5 rom?

Excellant, welcome to the addiction MUHAHAHAHAHA
I was in Detroit, moved to Las Vegas a couple years ago and its my usual nick on lots of sites so I keep it (its a poker nick I use as well)
As for themes for WinMO 6.5, they dont exist yet, 6.5 is a pre-release software and there is intention of themes being released when final comes out, until then the only changable items I know of on 6.5 are colors (look for CHome Color) and items on the main screen.
and as for a diamond theme, not yet, but I just read NFSFAN is releasing his 6.5 v5 today that will have M2D and Titanium included so you can change back and forth

well, before posting, please look at the second post of this forum (Diamond rom developpment)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
6.5 is a completely new OS so your going to have to install Hard SPL (link in post above)
after that your free to download any chef Roms (don't Ask which one is best because people REALLLY don't like those kind of questions here)
just try a few out see how you like them, or if your feeling up to the challenge download a kitchen and create your own custom 6.5 rom
(PS. Rom = the OS + any programs/tweaks added
kitchen = the tools needed to create a Rom
cooking = the act of using the tools from the kitchen to create a custom rom)

Files inside TF3D is called or named, Manila, so you need to know what version of TF3D you are using. Go to your Settings Tab, then About and you can see what version of TF3D you are using.

Hey,
I definitely understand your confusion. I'm absolutely no newcomer to Windows Mobile, but I was pretty baffled when I arrived here after a few years gone.
Let's see if I help you somewhat...

You propably use Manila v2.0, which means that themes for Manila v2.1 and v3, are not compatible with your device.
BUT!
First off, you should take a look at giving your phone a new ROM.
The kitchen cooks for TouchHD here on xda, are FABOLOUS! Right now, your Touch HD is slow as hell. Try and swipe the menus. Notice the lags. Enter the application pane. Swipe up and down. See?
The kitchen cooked ROMs in here, replaces the one you have - and gives you up to 20x faster performance (no kidding, and no exhaggeration).
I myself, use Laurentius26 v3.55 (www.laurentius26.net -- you have to become member of his website to download the rom, but it's all free, so don't worry).
Most people like Dutty's ROMs also - they're great too!
No matter what you choose, I promise you'll feel that your Touch HD has transformed into a speed monster. Especially in the menus!
Oh yeah - and as a side dish, you get the newest version of Manila and TouchFlo3D. Personally, I think that the version in the Laurantius26-ROM that I use, is so super-duper, that I don't want to spend time looking for other themes. I have thought of designing/programming a completely new GUI myself, but I gave up, as I don't have Microsoft Visual Studio.
But you have the oppertunity if you patch with a new ROM. I highly recommend you do that first thing.

Your manila can be found by going to settings tab in TF3D and then scrolling down to 'About'
It should state something like TouchFLO 3D 2.1.38658.2. The first 2 numbers i.e. 2.1 in this case state which manila you have
There appears to be no official update from HTC for a Indian rom. You can however update to any coooked rom by using either USPL or HSPL. I'd recommend you follow this guide and read up on the wiki. Available cooked roms can be found in this forum.
EDIT
Any further queries regarding rom upgrade should be posted in this thread or thread of rom you decide to flash to.
Try and keep this thread on themes please.

Then you don't have manila 2.0 or 2.1.
No one can provide you with the information 'which rom is best' as every rom appeals to different people. Best thing you can do is read each rom thread and make your own conclusion. As a pointer, the most widely used roms generally cooked by the following guys:
Duttythroy, Miri, NRGZ28, Laurentius26 & kwbr.
All of the latest roms generally use manila 2.1 and either wm6.1 or wm6.5 (should say on title of each thread)

So will you help me how to start.
And after the Upgrade my Phone is Unser Warranty or NOT.
and How can i restore the Orignal ROM after the Upgrade, if i want to do that in future.
For help on flashing the ROM, read the guide in my signature.
For how to restore the stock ROM, read this thread where it says: How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
Also, it will be under warranty IF you restore it before you send it back for warranty purposes. If you send it back with a custom ROM/SPL on it HTC will most likely not warranty it.

Am not a techie person. So help me how to do that. Which MEthod is Easy
It really doesn't get any clearer/easier than that. That is a step-by-step guide. If you can't follow that I would suggest not flashing your device, or get someone to do it for you.
You should also read up on the Wiki. It will help you out a lot too.
