Do some reading. This forum is about learning... Not have everything handed over on a silver platter.
At the time I answered this 38 people had looked at this request. You're lucky not to have been flamed...
We understand you're new so heres some reading material -

hey everyone.. just signed up and wanted to say hi.
i just ordered my new MDA, and should be here in a few days! ive had the SK3 for a month after upgrading from the SK2, and its just not what it used to be. Im looking for something with way more functionality other than being cool. Not to mention a more mature phone.
anyway, i just wanted to see if you guys could help me. seeing as how i dont have the phone yet, i wanted to read as much as i can about hacking it up. im aware that the stock phone (USA Tmobile MDA) rom isnt very well, so i need some pointers on where to start...
ive tried searching already, but theres only so many "newbie" threads i can sift through... basically can someone point me into the right direction of everything i need to get started? it would be most appreciated! i guess which rom, how to update, which apps, where to go... lol, basically everything!
ill obvisouly be reading until the day the phone comes (and charged for 12 hours) so i should be more knowledgeable by the time the phone arrives.. but i really appreiciate any help!
thanks!
Maybe you just should to post which MDA you have orderd. Since the good old MDA I / Wallaby isn´t sold anymore, that´s the wrong part of the forum here....
You should take a look at the right part of the forum.

LOL..
im such an idiot. thats what i get for posting at 2am... sorry! i found out it was the HTC Wizard!
just jumped into the fray and once again i am like a duck with its head cut-off.. lost and confused. . . so please bear with me.
my dillemma. i just got a cingular 8525. just found out that its rom is way older than what the current official release from cingular is. so, i guess i should be upgrading right? this being an official release?
what interests me though is ive read about other roms that would offer wm6? now, if i upgrade to these roms, and something goes wrong, will i be able to go back to the official rom by just installing it again?
ive upgraded my moto e398 with MP's, is upgrading to a homebrew rom for my 8525 the same?
thanks.
lol .. definately not the same. Alot of stuff you have to do.. I temp-bricked my 8525 today by not following all the steps... <or being ignorant to a step that I needed to follow..>
first step .. go here:

sorry and i do understand your concern.. thanks for reminding me .. i have searched and actually read a lot.. way to many in fact to be ingested in one sitting.. its just the urge to just jump head first... its the excitement maybe.. but what i do is i post and i still search... and search and read.. but thank you anyway..
honestly.. im a noob.
and when i first joined here i thought i'd never learn. but its not as hard as it seems to be.
it just takes a while of reading
i just recently flashed 2 lsvw's rom and im loving it..
very very stable
Hi guys,
I am new to this, I have done a few searches, I find some stuff but no clear path on how to upgrade my M3100 to WM6.
Could someone help me out with some instructions and what files I need?
Many thanks
Take a look here, and follow relevant links.

Also don't forget to take note of Mr Vanx's guides!
Thanks for the reply, which version would be better?
Which ROM
Impossible to say which is the best for you really, all of the most recent releases are stable, fast and come with a built in selection of applications and ROM specific tweaks. The "which is the best ROM" threads tend to go on without any resolution, we all have our favorite! There are some ROM polls kicking around that are worth getting a feel for whats popular, i would suggest reading those and then trying a few of the popular ones. I went through three before deciding on one i was happiest with.
There are flavours of ROM's being released left right and centre these days, do a spot of reading over at the cooked ROM's depository and check out the Wiki page for all the information you need:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Cooked_ROMs
Ok so i have looked and looked and am lost!!! Can someone point me in the right direction on where to find rom cooking info. I have downloaded a kitchen but im not sure what tool to use??? thanks all
Josh
why not go over to DCD's 2.3.0 thread and read his instructions. If you've already unlocked your phone, then it's a simple double click and fill out some checkboxes, then have a coke and a smile.
I'm trying to figure out what each of the checkboxes means. I'm sure this is documented somewhere, but for some reason it's not in the main post. The main post seems to assume that you've already cooked ROMs before. This is my first HTC (although I've done a lot of Palm ROM editing in the past.)
I just recently jumped on the boat from 6700 to Mogul and cooked my first ROM the other day and let me tell you, it's not easy finding straight forward instructions on how to do it but the info is out there... Your not the first to ask this question and I'm sure you won't be the last... I read around the forum for about 3 days and gathered everything I needed to know... The best thing is that you're nearly forced to read some threads from begining to end which provides a lot of great insight to the underground world of Titan Modding...
My advise is to look around, gather all the info you need and then ask specific questions about the update process... People are more willing to give specific advise as opposed to detailing a step by step...
Best of luck...
So I have had my HD2 a few months now and I've been happy with the stock look and feel.
Now I would like to start trying a few of the xda add ons and roms.....
However I do not wish to blindly jump...I figured I would ask the pros here.
So I would like to move up to the newer windows 6.5.x ( not sure what version were at), with the task bar at the bottom.
So I am on the Rogers Network ( Ontario Canada), with an Unlocked HD2.
I bought it on line but was unaware at the time I got wrong unit for here, as I only have edge...no 3g ( Unit from Hong Kong via Vancouver and ACEGSM).
No worries though, as I do not need 3G as I do so little on line on phone...Weather, a little FB, Yahoo mail, MSN Mail....so Edge works awesome for me.
So if I am to flash say mainly a stock look and feel to start, where should I start?
As said, phone came from Hong Kong
OS Version 5.2.21869
Manila Ver. 2.5.19211619.0
ROM Ver 1.66.707.1 WWE
Radio Ver. 2.07.51.22_2
What would my best picks be for my unit?
Is there an Oficial HTC Flash that brings me to the updated windows 6.5.x?
Is there someone who could advise me on what way is dumb guy proof ?
I can flash, as I flashed my Typhoon enough times......but a Typhoon and an HD2 are 2 different beasts.
Many Thanks in advance for any who step into the Yoda roll here!!!!
Anything?
A hint?

hey man, instead of flashing a new rom why not try cht first. its an easy .cab install and truely is awesome. after you installed that, you can then go on to mod your phone with new clocks, skins....well just about anything really. cht offers a quality starting block to build upon. just a thought bud........

Many Thanks !! I will try this out first.
So I still nned to find out, is there an HTC rom upgrade to move me up to Windows 6.5.3 ??? (or what ever the latest version is )
Or is that only by using a rom from XDA?
The reason I ask is it would be nice for me to have the buttons along the bottom of the screen, rather then the 2 screen buttons and the start at the top.....my thumb is rather stubby, so getting to start is a 2 hand job
There arent any official 6.5.x roms with the bottom start button, you'd have to HSPL your device and use a cooked rom for XDA.
Check the stickies in the rom development section for all the info you need on this.
Im not gonna make an assumption as to which model of HD2 you have, if it is the american model (green and red hardkeys / big fat double chin) then you need to be aware of the radio your flashing....
Seeing as you got it from HK then its probably not that one, better safe than sorry though....
As long as you read up on the subject first and make sure your reading the correct information for your device you cant really go wrong.
95% of the "bricked" phone horror stories you see on here are down to people not doing their homework first....
You mention that you'd prefer a close to stock feel for a custom rom so probably either an "artemis" or one of dutty's roms would be your best choice....
To be honest though if your happy with the performance your getting from your stock rom then it might not be worth the switch unless you really really want the 6.5.x look.....
+1 on the CHT suggestion too.
A must have (in my humble opinion) for any HD2....
Hope that helps.......
Many many many Thanks !!! Both donwhann and conantroutman !!!!!!
I will try CHT first before a flash, then when I have read, reread, understand the steps required I will try the roms named.
I have to say XDA is an awesome place to learn....it was a godsend giving my SMT 5600 (Typhoon) new life. As my friend who now uses my old phone will tell you.
Now I will be able to keep my HD2 feeling fresh and fun, thanks to XDA and it's awesome people
Thank you greatly for the advise !!!
