Newbie to the while Windows Mobile and smart phone scene in general so forgive me if this information is already in the forum, but I can't find it!
I would like to try out different ROMS for my HTC Touch Pro but would like the stock ROM in case I want to go back. For the life of me I can't find where the Sprint OEM ROM is. Does anyone know where I can download it from?
Thanks!

Hi avemn1,
Welcome; the XDA Forum & Wiki provides volumes of information to assist in your quest for learning. That said, I appreciate that it can sometimes be a bit overwhelming to navigate all of this information ... sure was when I started.
Here is a quick response to your questions; should get you started
Cheers,

Nothing to do with Fuze; next generation HTC device. There's also a Rhodium TF3Dv2 (aka Manilla) XDA project - new Manilla /w Landscape.

Yes; you'll want to backup any personal data to an SD Card or PC.

The Radio is the heart of your cellular device. In the Raphael's case, the Radio (also called Stack) is comprised of circuitry to handle GSM, WDCMA, UTMS. The Raphael also includes Radio circuitry for Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and GPS.
The answers to all your questions are here all you had to do was search and read. Do not start threads like this in the ROM development forum if you must please poste them in the General forum. I am closing this thread.

hi guys i am now a proud owner or a HTC hero on orange uk
the questions i have are this
im on the latest update from HTC them self for the orange network should i change this to a generic firmware, if so what one do you all recommend ?
why is my market place so empty i cant find alot of apps as in the the 1clickroot app ect ?
what is the best way of enabling root account on this mobile?
thanks in advance guys and gals
As far as I know, the only other option you have for a different ROM is the MoDaCo custom ROM. This is because HTC asks for your phone serial number before letting your download one of the official ROMs (as you probably found yourself on their website), and they know which phones were shipped to Orange or not. You'll find MoDaCo's ROM in a sticky in the Android Development section of the Hero forums.
It's possible this 'one click root' application has been removed from the market, as I think that officially they don't like people getting root access. The easiest way to get root though is to install the custom rom mentioned above. Just make sure you read through the various posts so you know what the problems with the latest release might be.

Not strictly true - MoDaCo has repacked "vanilla" HTC and carrier updates, in update.zip format, so you can apply them without going through the RUU process.
However, this does rely on having a Hero that hasn't already been patched to the new HBOOT and kernel that prevent such updates being applied.

Dave

I don't think the market is empty as such, I find the search is not that good e.g. searching '1clickroot' and '1 click root' will return different results.
As for rooting, look in the android dev section there are guides, I have seen one had videos in it which was more helpful.

Hello, ive searched the forums for the T-Mobile GSM Stock rom (1.5) and cant find it. Is there one available? Im selling my HTC Hero (Got the Desire) and want to revert it back to the stock rom so there are no issues with it.
Thanks

Thanks a lot. Would it be better to install the HTC Generic 2.73.405.66 Instead of the T-Mobile generic? As you usually have to wait a little longer for the update with T-Mobile/The Provider dont you?
Thanks
MOD EDIT - Moved to Q&A
Can I remind all users to think before creating a new thread.
Is it regarding development? If yes, post in development forum, if not, think were it would be best suited
Is it a question? If yes, put it in Q&A
Is it about themes/apps? Put it in themes/app forum, unless it's a question, then in Q&A
etc etc
If everyone abides by forum rules it will make things easier for everyone!
First post, hopefully someone will be able to answer some questions I've got.
I've previously had an HTC Desire and held off rooting it as I didn't feel I needed it. Towards the end of my contract I found I was running out of space but still held off rooting it incase I messed it up and rendered it bricked.
I've got a S3 16gb coming on Tuesday from UK Network Vodafone.
I've done a fair bit of researching in the last few days on this forum but just want a few things cleared up.
I'm aware I have to make sure I root using a guide for my version of phone. How would I find that out exactly? Is it going to be a network specific version or will 'International' cover it?
Once rooted I'm going to put Omega Mod on as it seems to be the one to go for. Will I still be able able to use all the features of the phone as standard (I'm thinking more along the lines of the play store and other things that require a sign in)
If I ever get bored of it or want an 'unrooted' phone again (if I were to sell it, or claim on warrenty for example), would I be able to flash back to my standard rom?
What are the main benefits/disadvantages to rooting and installing this particular rom?
Is there anything that will no longer work after rooting/flashing Omega?
Finally, is there ANYTHING else I need to take into consideration before beginning?
Thanks alot

I will try and answer all your questions in the order you posted them.
1. Your device will be an international model so this guide will work and all the info you need to root and unroot is there http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1695238
2. I am presuming here you mean Omega ROM and not Omega Aosp, if so Omega ROM is a stock Samsung ROM so all features that work on stock will work on omega. To find out the differences between different types of ROMs I suggest going to this thread and looking at the different ROM descriptions under different settings.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1674286
3.See the link in point 1. I smashed the screen of my first S3 and had to claim on insurance and this worked for me
4. This is a question that I cannot really answer as I feel it is specific to each person, however their are plenty of threads on XDA that answer this just use google or the seach bar.
5.http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1663656 It looks stable and there are no bug reports in the OP (original post) so yes everything should be working but just in case before you flash any ROM always make a nandroid backup in recovery. (if unsure on nandroid backups seach XDA and google)
I think that answers all your questions but the best advice I can give you is to read and re-read every thing you can find on rooting and such. Like you I also had a desire before my S3 and before I rooted that I spent atleast a week reading around on various different forums about what to do. You need to be confident in what you are doing before you do it and know what is going on.
That way if something goes wrong you can provide as much info as possible and and get more help!
Hope this helped
Hello. I recently got an m8 so i was wondering if there were any custom roms that keep the gesture when the phone is locked but also gives vanilla android experience. Also can you list a couple of good roms to use. Thanks
Witch variant HTC ONE M8 ?
We can assume it's the At&t variant cause your asking in the At&t
Q&A ,Help & Troubleshooting forum.
Normally I would offer assistance but you don't have a problem to solve cause your answer lies within the Development section
Enter a Rom thread and if what you read is what you think you might like than give it a try.
Please do yourself a favour and make a backup before you do anything ?
