I checked around and it seems that there are only ROM tools for WM5. I am trying to cook my Atom Life Rom (it's WM6 pre-installed) but not sure whether I can use the tools (or which one I can use). I would greatly appreciate if someone can help clarify this, especially if you can help me list a series of tools that can be use with WM6. Thanks in advanced.
i wonder if we can cook wm6 rom on life and if we cook failed,how can we recover system?we can only update rom in running system.

Use Scoter Kitchen to cook ROM...
How safe is it? Will it void my warranty? Just as a precaution.

You might be surprised if I tell you that everything here is experimental, at your own risk. Even an official ROM can cause a brick!
Of course, if the Mob Oper finds out you were playing with the things you're not supposed to, especially causing a brick, it definitely voids the warranty.
No guts, No glory, man. If you're not going to do it, your device is going to sit there with software you are not completely satisfied!

I've searched around a bit and can't find much of a definitive list of roms that are compatible with G4 wizards. I've found a few, but would appreciate if some suggestions could be tossed in. I'm not asking for recommendations, just a list of those which are G4 friendly, so please don't flame me.
Thus far I have tried XM6r4 and TNT.1933 and both seem to be fairly compatible with my G4 Cingular 8125. I also haven't encountered the radio issues that I've been reading about. Not sure if it's the ROM or my good luck.
Any other experiences?
i have installed TNT1933 with TouchFLO on my G4 device
and it seams working but it's a battery eater

your best bet with this is to download wizard service tool. You can use it to open the nk.nbf file from your chosen rom. It can then tell you what is in it.
I believe most of the newer roms are g4 safe now so that all users can flash them but its best to check first. Im using TNT1933 and works great on my g4.
mrobo read this a few times. I understand that if you flash back to your operators stock rom then back to tnt1933 it should be ok. might be worth running something like sktools backup and pim backup to make sure you keep all your config so you can copy it back afterwards.
-
P.S above are recommendations, should be safe but not my fault if you get it wrong!

Oh how I love WM5...
.. but I really dislike the o2 Rom.
I must admit, I'm only informed of how-to flash the device (with HardSPL and such stuff) but I have absolute no idea of which Rom I should take to get as near as possible to the original HTC Rom.
I would also accept cooked? (I guess, that's the terminus for it) Roms, but only if there aren't modified heavy in terms of programs and such stuff.
Oh ... and it should be avaible in German (if possible).
I'm thankful for every hint and tip I recieve.
Thank you very much.

Yeah .. already found this after posting.
Stupid Post .
Still, any suggestion - if the BETA doesn't work well - for a "original" or "as close to" HTC Rom?
Only use that ROM if you are German! There are a number of ROMs (including the stock HTC ROMs).
Have a look in the wiki - there are links to all the ROMs and each is discussed at great length in its own thread. If you are going to HardSPL you device (and thus probably invalidate the warranty anyway), I can't see why you would want to go for a stock ROM!!
Enjoy.
That's true?
Damn. Is there at least any method to get the original TouchFlo "Skin" rather then the o2 one? Actually that's the only thing really bugging me

Just have a look at the TF3d Themes thread either in the Raph forum or in the Diamond forum. You will need to install Diamond TF3d Config (do a search on the forums) to change the theme. You don't need to install HardSPL for that.

Hm? I don't get that. Isn't the Diamond not a totally different thing?
Or can I use Diamond Stuff for Pro?
And .. I only 2 or 3 themes ... which thread to you mean?
//edit: Found it.
So I can use the Diamond Stuff on my Raph' aswell?
just to prevent disasters.
you can use software or themes. NOT as far as i know radios or roms
Please don't flame me because I'm new to flashing.... I have been reading and digging for two hours but this information is very overwhelming and a lot to understand. I dug through the WIKI but am still hoping for a little guidance... I just got an AT&T Fuze and am looking to upgrade the rom. My questions are the following:
1) Using standard software (ActiveSync), can I back everything up and then restore it after a ROM update?
2) Do I need any special software to do the ROM update?
3) Is the performance difference really worth my time and effort?
4) Is it as easy as changing the registry key to remap the keyboard back?
5) Are there any negative ramifications of upgrading the ROM?
6) Is there a certain ROM that you guys recommend for speed but that is also stable?
I have no interest in modifying the ROMs... I'm just looking for a good solution to make this phone perfect by pepping it up a little bit.
Thanks for all the help!

Just IMHO :
1-U can only backup all the syncable outlook items.
2-U need to install HardSPL to unlock ur device.
3-Here, all our time are not worthless wasted.
4-Peace of cake.
5-No but with coutious.
6-
Thanks & sorry for my english.
I was wondering about a lot of these questions as well.
What would you guys suggest for roms to try?
Are some faster than others? Have more programs than others? Why do you like that specific flavor over the others?

Just follow these easy steps:
1-Flash ur stock ROM ( I assume u know where to find it )
2-See HardSPL forum & download Manual SSPL & stock ROM SPL
3-Unpack Manual SSPL, copy to ur device & run from ur device.
4-Flash Stock SPL as normal flash.
5-Done. (Send for warranty)
I hope there is nothing I missed
Can anyone else comment on 2,3 or 6? Thanks guys!

2: you need hardspl, as stated before
3: yes, most cooked roms are much more responsive then the standard rom
6: read the start posts of the threads, and decide what you want, I don't have my crystal ball at hand to tell you what rom to use

I too was very erm, "dubious" about how good a cooked ROM could be, how much difference it'd make, etc, also was very confused about which to use.
I tried the new Elite ROM, which was fantastic, but to me (and this is why we have different ROM's) it was loaded with just too much stuff, it worked well, but was overkill. I then gave ROMeOS2 a go, and found that to be a lot "lighter weight" then the Elite ROM.
it is all to do with what you want, if you want a fully loaded ROM, with tonnes of included goodness, then the likes of the Elite ROM are great, if you want a simpler, lighter weight ROM, then the likes of ROMeOS2 are super too.
it is all to do with personal preferences...
Thanks for making this thread and answering the questions on this thread. I too am new to this, and read as much as I could but at the end its overwhelming. This thread helped with alot of my questions for a beginner. Thanks guys keep up the good work.
Ditto... I've reading for the past few hours and got myself totally confused because this arena is completely new to me. Thank you all for your hard work and patience with noobs like me.
Can someone please provide us a resource that isnt cluttered like nuts to flash the phone with the snappiest rom available?
I have to agree with below. I tried Elite, then PROven and finally ROMeOS2. I liked ROMeOS2 the best out of all of them, followed by Elite. This is in terms of speed. ROMeOS is not feature packed, but you can always add this stuff in yourself, and thats what I prefer to do.

Does anyone know of any simple, easy walkthroughs for updating the ROM? I really need to do this.

1) Generally speaking updating between rom versions isn't a good idea, but you can find plenty of information about backing up your rom by searching.
2) You need HardSPL, and then to follow the flashing instructions. The information is already provided in numerous places.
3) If it wasn't do you think so many people would do it? If you don't think so, then you've only wasted one flash if you try.
4) There is a cab file to change the keyboard layout, search for it, you will find it.
5) That's a ridiculously broad questions, all the risks of flashing are easy to find, yet again, i say "search"
6) There is no "best" rom, it depends on what your preferences are.
Please use the tools are your disposal. Thread is now closed.
Hi everyone,
If you like your Stock HTC unbranded rom and want to use TF3D2 you must make upgrade.
This rom is based on 5.05.401.1 WWE HTC Stock ROM, and there is only one change:
- gwes.exe was replaced to version 2100+.
Follow this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3522640&postcount=1017
-Menu Enhancement and Notification Manager now should work properly (on build 20764).
Warning!
I’m not a rom developers and it is my first rom.
First I looking for person who can try if this rom works!
It can brick your phone!
So developers, please help.
1. I use Raphael_ROM_Kitchen_v0.62 to extract stock rom.
2. I replace gwes.exe catalog
3. I cooked rom using this kitchen without using Package tools. That’s all.
I don’t take any responsibility for any brick and problems. Use on your own risk.
http://www.zshare.net/download/576928650f9f2011/
looking at youre signature, it looks like you didn`t try it youreself.
i am not expert so, i`ll wait till there`s a confirmation it will boot and not brick the device.

it wont brick unless you mess with spl or go outside of rom memory
i don't do anything with spl (I don't know how) I just extract, replace directory gwes.exe, build. I don't know even if spl is on rom or not.
I just purchased a 512Leo Hd2, unbranded SPL 1.42. Now this site has been an amazing resource. I have been thinking about flashing a new ROM but I'm not sure about it yet. To tell you the truth I don't really mind the stock HTC ROM. However, I'm dying to run Android 2.2, problem being is that my radio version is 2.06.51.07 now from what I understand that version won't allow me to run Android. And I've tried it, Linux starts to load and either it freezes or the screen slowly blacks out. I've tried the formatting and it doesn't work. So my ? is this. After running HSPL, also don't know which one to run 1,2 or 3?, will the stock ROM still be there? IN which case I can then go ahead ad flash a radio version that will allow me to run Android? Or do I have to find a stock ROM from somewhere and load that? Can I save the ROM version that is on my phone now then reload it? How do I do that? If someone c an fill these blanks in for me I'd appreciate it!
Cheers

Flashing HSPL will do absolutely nothing to your ROM. It simply unlocks the phones SPL and allows the flashing of non-branded or unofficial ROMs.
More about HSPL 1&2 and HSPL 3
Which one you need depends on your device. I think HSPL3 might work for all but to be honest I've never bothered to look at it since I have HSPL2 and it works for me.

Android works perfectly for me on my stock ROM with radio 2.12.50 For some people, the stock ROM does not work so the short answer is: "it depends". I say try a new radio ROM, leave the stock ROM alone and see if it works. If not, then look into flashing a custom ROM also. As for saving your current ROM, that's a bit more tricky, and more trouble than it's worth since you can find pretty much all the stock roms in the rom development threads such as THIS one.
If you have any other questions or need more clarification ask away (or PM me).
One more thing about flashing ROMS... Use caution and ask questions if you are unsure about something. Make sure you read and understand the threads dedicated to flashing in the links provided... Otherwise, you will have an expensive paper weight on your hands.

Hi!
I've been reading all your posts and i have a similar problem with my Leo.
I'm new at this so i am affraid to, like you said, have an "expensive paper weight".
I tried running the "FLASHAHOLIC RUU.." via USB but it keeps hanging while running task29. I then tried the official HTC web site but i doesnt work either.
I baght my device on amazon so it comes with WWE and o want to change it to Portuguese specially because of some keybord letters like "ç" for example.
Can you please give me a step by step guide so i can instal a new rom?
Thanks in advance.
