Does anyone know if there are any completely naked ROMs based on the official AT&T WM6 release? I used vp3g for a very long time, but it really isn't naked. I want something along the lines of CRC's naked ROMs (not even a commm manager) but using the offical AT&T WM6 release.
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
Just build your own ROM or re-cook from CRCs ROM.
Do you need a ROM WM 6.0 or WM 6.1?

That one isn't naked, it just been "stripped" of the radio, to make flashing from a big storage, to it, to another big storage easier. Other than that, it's the official AT&T with all their stuff.
There is no official naked ROM. Either you learn how to strip and cook naked ROM or use one of the naked ROM from matt. You will have to search for it using the link below in my sign!
Thanks for the replies. As I said, I am looking for WM6, not 6.1. I was really hoping to not have to cook my own WM6, that's why I used vp3G's for so long. I had already made a "stripped" version by removing the radio, but I didn't go as far as removing everything else (this is the one I use between flashes of other roms). As for searching, have done that, but like I said, there are no naked wm6 roms out there. Guess it's time to put on the chef's hat. Once again, thanks for the replies.

Not to be an ass or anything, but asking for a stripped official is like asking for a condom at church. You won't find one. It will be cooked by a user or you won't find one at all.

I don't think so. There were many cooked roms that used the official ATT WM6, they just weren't as naked as many now are. I mean, just look at CRCs ROMs, the naked ones don't even come with a comm manager now.

The nature of an OFFICIAL rom is one released from the carrier. If it is cooked, it is no longer an official rom. It may be BASED off of the official rom, but it is no longer official. So again, get an official is like asking for a condom at church. It just won't happen.
My apologies for the misunderstanding, although, I'm sure if you asked around in church (to the other parishioners) you could probably find a condom or two. Unfortunately, asking the church of AT&T for a stripped rom will probably will get you just as far as asking the priest or minister for a condom. In that respect, you are absolutely correct. But since I am not asking AT&T, would it then be appropriate to say, "are there any cooked roms based upon the officially released AT&T ROM 3.62.502.3 containing OS version 18128.0.4.4 that have been completely stripped of any unnecessary software?"
So, now that that has been clarified (cooked based upon official), do you know of any cooked roms based upon the officially released AT&T ROM 3.62.502.3 containing OS version 18128.0.4.4 that have been completely stripped of any unnecessary software?
Thanks

Just a little bit of info needed as I am new to all this cooking ROMS.
I am using the Core Kitchen which I have found easy when extracting a ROM and I have been using the schaps ROM as it contats the RGU files with the packages as oppose to the Black Roms which dont and I am not confident enough to be able to sort out that mess yet.
The question is in two parts and I hope you can help me a little.
Part 1: when you extract the ROM what is contained in the OS.nb file the reas on I ask is I want to get a Basic from MS ROM so I can start with my own ROM building as oppose to someone elses (VERY GOOD I MIGHT ADD) ROM.
Part 2: where can I get the RTM M$ WM6 ROM from a rom without any modifications or any added packages just the M$ PDA/PHONE ROM.
Please help this is the only two bits that im really lost with.
I have a Vario 2 on T Mobile uk
you might want to look at the FTP for vanilla wm6 roms...
the last time i checked, it was still there.
I have seen the Vanilla ROM is that the M$ RTM base OS then ???
hey guys,
can you tell me what specs you enter into duttys tool as im having problems?
thanks in advance
PDAJAS
ImateJasjam (HERMES100)
Radio: 1.20.31.10
Rom: Black IV Shadow
Olipro 2.10
Telstra AUS
Not sure im new to all this myself as you can prob tell.
Vanilla ROM has too many missig files that I cannot even find according to the tutorial with CORE an official ROM wont have any missing files schaps only has 1 which i know where to find it so can put it in the right place.
It just seems easier to want to start with a RTM official M$ rom and build on it rather than hack bits out of an already cooked rom.
the FTP?
Where is this? (it's early for me, is it in the wiki?)

Its on the Wiki i looked at Cooked Roms on the main wiki page and then it gave me a list of them that were avaliable. Vanilla was on the top of the list.
Skauk,
you can also give a look at the Dopod ROM posted here in the forum... even that its not the newes build, it has nothing added/mising; it could be a good start point.
Regards;
thankyou I will give dopod a look tonight then its so anoying that you cannot get hold of the latest builds that some of these people have so we might start without the bugs of previous builds...
if anyone knows where I can get a later build RTM that's not cooked already you would be number 1 on my xmas card list lol.
Dopod ispretty hard to work out also so anyone else help me find latest build wm6 so i can build on it ??

I would suggest you spend a little time in the upgrading section. As far as a stock windows mobile 6 rom, the problem is there aren't any yet. Although I think some upgrades may be coming along in the next few months. The roms here are pieced together from other machines or pulled from unreleased versions. I don't know of a true "stock" hermes wm6 rom at this point. You could get a WM5 rom to practice with which would show you what to expect, and what "comes with" though.
Good luck,
As I noticed that Black no longer releasing new build (becuase the official is out) I started thinking - maybe I should go for the official...
Till now I tried SCHAPS 3.57/3.54 and D-Lite. How is the official compared to these two in terms of speed and stability? What does it come with (HTC home, what dialer, etc).
Thanks
OK, the answers to your questions can be found at http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=355
If the oficial roms where fast and stable we wouldn't need cooked roms would we?
Official roms are like a new major brand windows pc...they come with so much "bloatware" that you will never need. So cooked roms are custom roms built so you don't have to deal with that crap with extras. Some are "lite" editions which basicly means no extras, just the rom itself.. others throw in some very good useful apps that are widely used.
So i'd suggest not to go official.
I prefer lites because i install what i want, and almost everything can be found in a cab file somewhere in this forum.
which is the best & stablest rom for hermes ???
Shap's 3.54c
ciao
ROM based on latest AT&T 3.61 are really good. You can cook it the way you want with pandora kitchen. There is at this time none released cooked ROM using this version as far as I know
what about 3.60a
I'm very happy with the HTC Original build.
Keep going, one positive and one negative for each available rom please.
Mate, if there was a quick answer to that question, do you think this forum would have so many threads?
Rom from edhaas is fast and stable.
I'm very happy with the TNT 2.0 rom. It's fast and stable. Only one major flaw: After some number of soft resets, my device bricks at the last reset and the only solution to that is a hard-reset. I'm trying to find out if this can be avoided by using the ClearTemp program, cooked in the 6mb prof. rom. There is an option of clearing the Bootcount number. I really hope this works.
Besides that the 2.0 rom is the best one for me.
Schap's 3.60a - only one I've tried that doesn't occasionally freeze plus based on tmobile test rom so no device ID change!
..one way to find out.. if your device still responsive after running as many programs as below, then that should be an ideal ROM to hang on to.. but in order to do this, there is no easy way or a straight answer to it, u gotta flash & flash again until that "special one" is found.. this is the holy grail & why such developer forum as this one exists in the first place..
@OP p/s : why don't u set up a poll in this thread, since there are new ROMs cooked/official/unofficial been released since the last poll..
Hi!
I'm a bit confused by all the threads here. I am looking for the "official" and most stable english/us version of WM6 that works with my P3600. Can someone point me in the right direction?
I appreciate all replies!
There is no "official" version for P3600 as this is yet to be released. You can risk installing a cooked version, the DOPOD release or wait like everyone else.

I know, that's why I wrote "official". What I meant was the most "commonly" used cooked version that is. I hear alot about the DOPOD version, but I can't seem to find the latest version anywhere. Care to guide me in the right direction here? Thanks.
If you search the forums this question has been talked about many times. There is no right cooked version as each is different and depends on your requirement. I would suggest you install, have a play and see if its right for you. I have gone back to WM5 as it is more stabble and less buggy than cooked versions. At the end of the day I just want a phone that works without hasstle. In any case most WM6 functionality can be installed on WM5 anyhow through individual CAB files.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into it and consider if it's worth installing a cooked version.
I have flashed my 8525 a few times in the past thanks to this forum, I settled on the Black X ROM some time ago and have been pretty happy since.
Today I decided to just check to see if AT&T ever actually released a WM6 ROM for the 8525 and discovered that they did.
First instinct is I want to give it a shot even though I am pretty confident I will not care for it and will find it overly bloated and sluggish. But I would still like to try it if for no other reason then to know I can get my phone back to an official ROM in case I need to give it back (its a work phone).
I don't see any stickys addressing this but I believe I have read in the past issues or things to be concerned with when going from one of the many cooked roms out to an official ROM, something about the bootloaders or something?
Before I get in over my head I would really like to get some ideas of what to look for and be aware of. Document and share what I currently run prior to attempting the upgrade in an effort to avoid any unneccessary problems.
Currently have the following:
Bootloader (I believe this is what you call this, the multi colored screen):
HERM100
IPL-1.04
HERM100
SPL-2.10.0lipro
OS:
WM6 CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
Black X
8/9/07
Radio 1.50.00.00
I am hoping to upgrade to the ROM released by AT&T labeled as:
RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship
Any insight or experience others can share that I should be aware of please let me know.
Thanks,
Dane
Hello Dane,
I did the AT&T update... Used it for a few days and went back to the cooked Roms. AT&T included a lot of stuff I'd never use...
If you change Roms a lot (like I do! ) then it is good to flash and run an official Rom before installing the latest and greatest.
Just download it and keep it handy...
I flashed the ATT Rom. Its actually pretty quick. If you do a soft reset while its customizing you can elimniate a lot of the bloat. THen go to the exgtended rom and install what you want to install and delete the rest. I also found my call quality is better with the new radio...

Go with vp3g's latest rom. It's the official rom without all the bloat. There's a version I posted to include the setacousticparam so that the earpiece volume is louder..
