For all those folks like me that have been refreshing the old rom page looking for the update: They moved it!
Here's the new link, with official bits and directions. I installed it without issues on my wife's unmodded sprint mogul. 22.3 mb free right out of the gate... can't wait to tweak it.

Hello, I am new and not sure if this is the best place to post, but I just ordered an AT&T 8525, and once it arrives the first thing I plan to do is upgrade to WM6.0. But, I want to get rid of everything that AT&T put on there (logos, apps etc) and start with (what I imagine would be) the HTC version of the software.
I looked through the Wiki and can find dozens of versions, can someone point me to the right (and best/most stable) one that I need to clear off all the AT&T crap? Thanks.
the first and easiest way to clear off the at&t crap is to do a soft reset the moment the device tries to to the cusomization.
if you want to clear the at&t crap by installing a cooked rom, then please look in the Hermes WM6 forums. FYI there's is no "the best" choice when it comes to choosing a rom as there are so many choices and a lot of it comes down to personal preferences. good luck, welcome to the forums, and enjoy your new device
As XtreMe_G said, but if you want a stable rom as a starting block ( I flashed a Heap of roms before choosing which one I liked best) I would suggest TNT SE. It is pretty stable and has a heap of extras if you like that sort of thing. Ran pretty quick and was decent for me. If you want speed then you require a Lite rom. Pandora, and Shamanix are good for these but then so are Schapps & pays. As was stated above, it all comes down to personal preference. Whats good for me might be of no use to you. Experiment, But please read the wiki on the how to flash first. thats the single most important thing you can do. Suggest installing Olipro V7. BEFORE upgrading os as this helps if anything does go wrong. But as I said READ, READ, and then READ some more. Happy Upgrading And welcome to the community...
Thanks both, I have been reading and reading the Wiki plus various other posts. I have flashed a couple previous phones (Motorola V500, Samsung Blackjack) so have a little experience. Looking forward to upgrading the hermes when it arrives. I have already downloaded Schapps 4.31 but will also look into the TNT SE and installing Olipro V7 (I am guessing this is to do with Hard-SPL?).
thanks again.
So I've got a xv6850 Raphael CDMA through Verizon
Rom version: 1.08.605.4
Rom Date: 03/18/2009
Radio Version: 1.03.09V
I've been travelin the inter-web trying to find a 'Reliable' ROM that will speed up my phone and free up the crappy ram accompanied with the Verizon version of the Touch Pro. I'd also like a touchflo 3d version that has facebook embedded into it, Kitchen, and a pagepool of 8. But without loosing any of the features my phone comes with now. I def want to still use GPS. My problem is that I can't find a ROM (maybe it's just me) that can do all of this. Will i need to download verizon files after i install the rom? I guess my main question is where can i find all of this? Could someone lend a n00b a hand?
Thank you so much for your assistance.
Check out sskusers.net. Scott makes some ROM's that are specific for the VZW TP and has all the latest and greatest stuff.

Ditto....I've been using his as well. I've tried them all (well, just about) and found some that just run out of gas on our memory inhibited Verizon device. SSK's is about the best balance I have found.
If we only had more RAM....life would be good.

I have tried most and keep going back to JD's. The free memory is great. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=73860
Check out SSK for sure, I've flashed about 12 roms in the last 3 weeks and SSK's are by far the most stable and seem to work best on the handicapped VZW TP.
I notice the only real ROM build here is RyanMogul's. Are there any others available anymore?

If you like a lite and fast ROM DCD still hosts his roms on his website. If you dig deep enough in the threads there are some pretty good roms. I've been using Reloaded 1.4.1 for probably over a year.
I can't seem to find the latest reloaded by searching. There are a lot of hits but I'm not sure which is the right one. If you have a link I'd greatly appreciate it.

I went to scott's website and it appears he pulled everthing titan off of it. I think I still have the kitchen and might be able to uo load it to the ftp tonight.
DCD still has all of his on his site:
http://dcd1182.n715dp.com/index.php?dir=Titan/
Just to let you know, his ROMs are/were stripped down for speed (no frills).
Reloaded 1.4.2 ROM or Kitchen are beta. You want to use Reloaded 1.3.4. Found on the second page of this subforum. Titled Titan Reloaded 1.3.4..

Hey there all, long time lurker here and just decided to create an account. I've just switched from the ever failing Symbian and bought myself an HD2 because of its well... Greatness, and ability to have so many OS on it
So I bought the device used, the TMOBILE version, and I've had plenty of time to play around with it for the time being.
My OS is 5.2.2193 (21913.5.0.94)
Manilla : 2.5.20181424.0
ROM version: 3.14.531.1 (04666) WWE
Radio: 2.15.50.14
I've just flashed HSPL 2.08 and that is about as far as i have gone.... being skeptical moving on to the next step, as I don't want to brick my phone. I've read things about the radio compatibility about some builds, and didn't want to risk turning my phone into a paperweight
Okay, so if you have read this far on about my ramblings then thank you!!
My goal is to flash one of the many android ROMs. The sd card that came with the phone is 16gb, and also my sd card is already formatted to fat32.
I'm trying to following one of the guides into flashing an android rom and it is recommending me that I install an upgraded wm6.5 first to improve the performance of android roms? If I am understanding this right I should be looking for a rom that that is not too heavily customized, using only all the basic functions right?
I was looking through the ROMS, and would like to try out NRGZ stock sense Energy build. I click the download link with the U.S. flag and it links me to a page with a few download links. I'm not too sure which one to download or all of them?
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591784
Here's the link to NRGZ rom site, and I'm looking at the 3rd post the download link right under where it says "Reference"
Is this the best Rom I should be using or is there any other recommendations from some other veterans out there?
Hi rawsx glad you decided to become a member, so let me welcome you to XDA.
Either one of the ROMs I have listed below are the ones you want to download out of the list of ROMs that come up after you click on the download link.At least I think so rom the info in your post.
Energy.Leo.21916.Sense2.5.Reference.Mar.01.7z
Energy.Leo.28244.Sense2.5.Reference.Mar.01.7z

I think you are wanting to use a SD card also and not a NAND Andriod ROM cause you metioned your SD card and that it is recomended to flash a bare bones custom ROM. A NAND Andriod ROM would totally wipe Windows Mobile from your phone so this would be pointless if you were going NAND.
Also you mentioned radio compatibility and yes this is very true. The T-Mobile HD2 can not use all radios. If the radio has a 50 in the third set of numbers like this one here 2.15.50.14 then you are good. Do not flash any radio version tbat has a 51 in the tbird set of numbers. And also do not flash any radio that has these numbers 2.04.50.xx or 2.05.50.xx. These and the 51 radios will brick/kill your T-Mobile HD2.

Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is this?
A: This is the famous ClearDroid rom, soon for the htc desire 610. We have made roms before for the Inspire 4g, galaxy s3, and Motoactv. It will be a full rom, and will most likely also include extra flashable modpacks.
Q: What's taken you so long?
A: Write protection sucks.
If you need any testers i would love to help
Sure will. Just need to fix the updater script and binary and should be good to go. Large file though, currently over 800 mb. Working on script and also removing the write protection today. Will have to do it by module until I get source code on my computer. Having a friend download it and going to literally mail it to me lol!
Ok..just let me know when you need testers
Just an update. It flashes properly now, but doesn't boot yet. Getting closer.
finally some one working on a rom for this phone
gonna help reporting bugs if i find when first version drops =)
Update: I've got it booted, but have a few tweaks to work on. Module symlinking and such. Been a while.
Edit: I think I may have gotten it figured out. Made a new zip, will do a test flash tomorrow. 3 am is my limit tonight. Lol
Any update on the progress?
Still working on it. Trying something different, and I think I threw off my updater script again. So, looking into why it messed up today.
I forgot to ask what exactly does 1.50 AT&T OTA Base mean?
Is this based lollipop or kitkat? My only interest in lollipop is the supposed support for mirroring. There is an app for kitkat that just got an update but it's kind of wonky and it won't work on my fire tv just the Apple tv. Otherwise I have everything I need right now. But still very interested in your Rom regardless. The removed bloatware is a big one for me to--does that include HTC or just AT&T bloatware?
Of course I could be way off and this Rom will receive updates like tweaked versions. But still kind of a new experience.
BTW--Thanks for working on this. It doesn't go unappreciated!
Kitkat, we have absolutely no lollipop source yet of any kind. Until the device gets an official lollipop update, I can't do much to help with that lol. At&t bloat removed. Htc stuff stays. Also, I leave the at&t hotspot app because it provides us with free WiFi at places like McDonald's. 1.50 is the beginning of the version number of the firmware from htc. The phone came with 1.30 and was just updated over the air to 1.50. This is a rom made with that latest version.
Edit: update - have it booting and flashing properly now. Issue now is making superuser stick. That's the next step. Making progress, slowly but surely. After that, the write protection mod is the last bit. But I'll release version 1 when I get root.
Are you progressing well with getting it rooted ?
Still working on it. Have been busy the last couple of days. Today is my Friday though, so I'm off the next 2 days.
Is it going to be compatible with the international version?
I doubt it, because of the hardware differences. I don't have an international version to test either.
I have an international device so if you want i can test it
Need someone with an at&t device to test for me. They must have a basic understanding of flashing through recovery.
I have international..but still i can try it if you provide the downloads as i have flashed the stock at&t rom before and i had no problems with it whatsoever. So if you provide the rom i will try it.
