could anybody tell me how to flash a rom safely - Touch Diamond, MDA Compact IV ROM Development

all i need is to enable my gps by flashing a rom that enable the gps but i found that the cooked roms are smaller than the htc official rom but 80 mb. could anybody tell me why ?

because the orig. roms have much applications that not needed or wanted.
these applications will delete before cooking rom.
but until now, nobody deletes application for hardware function like gps or wlan.
so if you have no problem with garanty/waranty try a cooked rom.
if not liked you can flash back the orig. rom.

Plenty of subjects already
Look in the WIKI or at the Sticky of this forum for all the information covering your question.

How to get "pure" WM6 ROM ?

Hi,
is there any way to get pure WM6 ROM, with no addons, no extroms - only WM6 OS and nothing else ?
And is it possible to extract (or get somewhere) separate .cab files for applications that come with various cooked ROMs ? (HTC touch app, Comm manager, ...)
thx a lot,
m.
When You upgrade to any WM6, the update procedure writes also the ext.rom, and later on the addons will be installed from the exrom. To avoid that, make a hardreset, and when the screen appears, that the addons would be installed within .. seconds, make a soft reset. With ExtRom_utility, You can make this rom visible, and You can backup the files located in the exrom to your PC.
I flashed a WM 6.5 rom to my MDA Compact III, but I want to go back to the original HTC WM 6.1 ROM that was on it.
I downloaded that, but I don't want all the stuff, just the OS.
Im going to flash it, but when do I exacly need to do the resets?
Or can I just delete the ExtROM, or whats in it?

I flashed it and I saw wat you meaned.

You can use HTCRIE to edit RUU_signed.nbh from WM6 ROM , then you can add or reduce the applications that you deem necessary Good Luck
Wow guys, this topic is like, 4 years old! I really appreciate the fact that you use the search function, but still, if a thread is older than a YEAR and there hasn;t been a post in it, create a new thread.
But if the thread has nothing to do with ROM development, as in this case, post the question in General.
I'm closing this.

How can I take backup of my original ROM to restore it later acc. to my region?

Hi, I am from India. I just bought HTC P3300 with MapAsia(MapKing) installed for my region.
I am looking forward to put a cooked ROM with wm6.1, but the problem is I want to backup my original ROM incase i need to take it to HTC for some hardware problem within the warranty period.
Is there any way by which i can make my PDA as it was on the first day even after putting a COOKED ROM?
I mean putting back my country specific original ROM.
Please give a note of help and also gv me the specific links to putting COOKED ROMS from scratch including unlocking(cid unlocking and all...) and all that as I am new to WM platform.
Thanks
Cheers.
You cannot backup your rom. You can backup the installed programs and settings. But not the rom itself. But why bother? On the HTC site you can download the original wm6 rom.
Hi..
Actually I had the same question. But since you say it's not possible I just ask where in HTC web site are the wm6 original roms? Are all languages available?
Thanks
i think on HTC web site you need to register (club or something) to download a rom. but those official ROMs can also be downloaded elsewhere.
check the wiki upgrade section for infos on ROMs.
--> list of original shipped ROMs
its available on the site itself!!!
here is the link....
i did not try anything!!!

ROM Porting.

Call me stupid, but I have searched around ALOT on this forum for an answer to my question but have yet found any relevance to what I am looking for.
I want to start cooking my own Artemis ROM's. As far as I have read the easiest way is by using something called HyperCore kitchen. Now, I've started using this, but have found out afterwards that cooked ROM's available to download on here, cannot be extracted properly so as to be able to make one of them custom for what I want.
And as there is no official WM6.1 ROM for the Artemis, I am at a loss.
Basically, what I am asking to do, is to find out how to port a Kaiser WM6.1 official ROM so that it would be usable on the Artemis. Alternatively, perhaps find out what files are required from the Kaiser ROM to make the official WM6 Artemis ROM into WM6.1.
I hope I haven't confused you all. Any help would be greatly appreciated, maybe from bepe, tom_codon, Anja, NhatHoa? Any of you guys still about these days?
90 Views and nobody else knows anything?
This is starting to bug me now
I have looked everywhere. I have used the search, the wiki, google! I can't find any reference anywhere that explains to me how I can properly make a WM6.1 ROM for my Artemis using the required 6.1 files from a Diamond ROM.
HELP!!!!!!!
Start off with a base ROM first instead of porting. Porting can get very tricky and complicated. I'm currently in the attempt of porting a ROM (for the Hermes) and let me tell you, it's not easy. If you want to know more, i can show you what i'm doing via IM (faster) or here.

Basic ROM update ques

Hey everyone,
Is it necessary to HardSPL before every ROM update?
I have dutty rom but bbc iplayer dosen't work on it so thinking about changing to another one...
Also what is the best way to pick a ROM? What do you compare?
Thanks
No, once you've installed a Hard-SPL it will work for every ROM update. Well, Hard-SPL's that support unsigned ROM's will work for every ROM update. Hard-SPL's that only support signed ROM's will work only on signed ROM's.
As for comparing ROM's; that is very personal.. Most popular ROM's are very much the same if it comes to speed. Differences are mainly in functionality, stability and the way they look out of the kitchen. Read the ROM topics and find out if what they have to offer suits you!
Do you want a tweaked and full functional ROM with a lot of applications cooked in? Or do you prefer a light or naked ROM, so you can save your space for just the applications you prefer and tweak it yourself?
Do you want it to look like a HTC stock Diamond or do you like what some cooks have done with the way the taskbar and TF3D look? Remember that you can install all applications, do some tweaking and change the look of your Diamond yourself.
As for stability, read the member remarks in the ROM's topics! That will give you a clue what to expect.
Just a question from my side which I cant seem to find an answer for (might be using the wrong search syntax). A ROM update should not affect the workings for your cell provider? As long as you know the MMS and other settings you can use any English (home language) ROM and your device will still pick up your service provider without a hitch?
My reason for asking is because I have noticed that even though HTC has released a new ROM past 1.93, if I go to the website enter my serial the only ROM I can download is still the 1.93. Thats why I am asking this n00b question...

How to make a cooked rom

Hi Everyone,
I was wondering where I would start if I wanted to make my own cooked rom, like where do you get the os part from ? what tools do you need/use ?
Is there like a rough guide to make a very basic starter rom and do my own thing from there ?
Thanks
Have you even tried to use the search or read the forum?
There is plenty of information available.
I dont know anything at all about making a cooked rom, so am a bit clueless as to what to search for to get the information.
could someone provide a direct link to the coking rom thread? tried search, gave me mixed results..
you need a kitchen basically. probably easiest way is to find a rom that has a kitchen too and modify that. here's a link to a 6.5 kitchen
