a security question for cooking with atom life - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom Software Upgrading

hi...
ive looked around here for a while and i want to cook a new rom for my xdaComet/atom life with more free ram (if there is a possiblitiy) and i will try to get the touchcube on my atom life because the touchcommander eats my ram.
ive red in the atom wiki that its saver to cook without flashing the bootloader.
now my question: if i only flash the os it is still possible to kill my Atom life ?
i had a xda mini before.. i flashed this one with a custom rom without probs. My second try was a return to service try and i dont now why, because ive used the same way as my first try. so i will be sure that i dont kill my new xda comet / atom life.
thx for help...

if you have read the thread for the atom life kitchen. It's not working as of the moment. only mamaich tools worked... there are always risks involved. even the official ROM bricked some phones. you can work hand-in-hand with scorpio16v because he is doing that project.

If you realy want to cook and flash a ROM, the best and fastest way is the flash via MiniSD.
I've f...ed up my Comet several times and he's recovered every time.
You need an MiniSD 256 MB or 512 MB (and NOT bigger ) and of course a cardreader.
The Howto is described in Wiki and in several threads here at XDA-devls.
But the biggest problem is the way to cook a (working) ROM.
If you try only to flash the OS and Extended ROM it's save. Don't flash the other parts like bootloader or radio.

Help on flashing for a noob...

Hi all
I'm a total noob here and i'd like to flash my Qtek s200 G4 WM5 to a nicer rom. I read a lot of posts here and the wiki but i need your advice before i do anything.
Here is what i'd like to have :
- a rom without bugs or problems if possible
- a rom thats quite fast (i need ram and proc to use video and stuff with my bt headphones) and doesnt use too much battery
- a new interface (black vista like if possible) with scrolling and cube (like the pdaviet video on youtube)
- a tutorial or a step by step do do it without killing my phone
I know thats a lot to ask for a noob lol.
By the screenshots i like the PDAViet 4.0.0.0.6 Touch. If its stable and doesnt use much battery i'd like this one but maybe i should try a newer one???
My questions :
- Do i have to upgrade to WM6 first?
- can i come back to my old wm5 rom (which works good) if i dont like the new and how?
Please feel free to give me links to posts i missed.
thanks for your answers and keep the good work.
I think you can find alot of useful links and information in this thread. I also wanted to have the pdaviet 4.0.0.06 rom, but I went for Gullums multilingual Coffie rom instead, I haven't regret it, works perfectly, faster and more stable than my old WM5.

1) no, you must HardSPL/SoftSPL your device first.
2) yes! Depening on the brand of the device, you can either download the official RUU (check out the wiki) or perform a ROM Dump to a spare SD card. (also check out the wiki)
Thanks An3Azz.
l3v5y, i'll check this one
any other member wanna tell me which is the best rom?
the more stable and the best looking?
I think the opinion of most users here is that the best ROM is in the eye of the beholder! I like my own ROMs as I cooked them to be the way I want them, others like other ROMs because of the way they are...

Atom Life best rom?

Hi! Which is the best Atom Life Rom? I want it pretty clean with not so many programs installed. I am sorry for asking with a new thread opening but I am pretty confused. Also I want Install new rom instructions. Thanks a lot! I am a new user
If u want the cleanest ROM then Medkid's is the best. But it also has some softwares pre-installed.
If you wanna have your today screen resemble that of a Elf Touch then T2M's ROM.
Instructions for flashing are present in their indicidual threads
The one I prefer is the PDAVIET ROM WM 6.1 CE OS 5.2.20275 Build 20275.1.3.3 by TranMinhMan.
It's quite a personal opinion. I like Medkid's better because of its clean interface. For the 'jazzy and snazzy' kinds T2M's are the best.

MWg Atom Life clean and stable ROM

Hello,
I`m new user of MWg atom life, so excuse me if i ask lame questions...Now I have installed some of PDAVIETs ROM with M2D but the Atom works so slowly... So I`m trying to find some stable and clean ROM, without m2d (can be PDAVIET), or maybe I should get the original MWg ROM instead ? Thanks for Your advice,
Best regards,
d_omin
This one is fast, clean and veeeery stable. And You still got 25MB of free RAM just for You. It never failed me. Tried many ROMs - PDAViets and other but I'm always returning to this one. Here's a link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=365869 . Enjoy!
Ok thanks I`ll try this one and report my feelings
I vote for this one as well
