Hi,
First, I have a question about cooking ROMs. A ROM is made of the Windows Mobile OS and some Applications, right? So where do you get the OS included in cooked ROMs. I would like to have a ROM with WM only. Like a formated PC with the OS installed after the first boot. This status I would like to have on my Touch Diamond. Does anyone know how to get this working?
I ask because I've seen a cooked ROM with CE OS 5.2.21042 and on my TD i have version 5.2.20764, but Windows Update reports, that no updates are available.
Felix
if you want a rom with nothing preloaded check out swtos's thread...
but with nothing loaded is barely usable (i'm talking about not having tf3d)
goto settings/today and disable Touchflo... thats what 'bare WM' would look like... and function like...
And is there any possibility to get just a wm update, that I have the newer OS Build, but without having to flash a new ROM?
no, just flash the new 6.5 rom, there is one with 120mb free which sounds like what you are after
Which one do you mean? There are many 6.5 ROMs

if u just spend abour 1min reading thru the main headlines, u should already see it.
Well they are all not really what i am looking for, but thanks for the suggestions. I still have one question left: Where do ROM cookers get the OS the build in their ROMs?
usually xda-member posts both XIP and SYS of the latest build.
usually after rom cookers release their ROM first.
Ok 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

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,
Hi all,
It's been a while since I posted here but I'm starting to get bored with WM6 so fancy the shift to WM6.1
I read through the topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435480 as this pointed me in the direction of some vanilla esk builds, however these still have a lot of modification done.
I'm after a ROM which is exactly as it comes out of the WM6.1 box, so none of the HTC gadgetry installed, MS Calculator and Windows Update still available etc. The only thing it needs to have is Office - Doesn't even matter if it's out of date because I can install the update from MS.
Is there such a ROM that anyone knows of?
Thanks
Richard

Judging by the filename, this is the base HTC ROM - Thanks
I've done USPL on my phone and installed the new ROM this morning which worked fine, however this ROM is only WM6 not WM6.1.
Does anyone have a Vanilla build of WM6.1 with no TouchFLO, any extra or anything removed?

1 more question, what actually they mean by rom?
i'm new user, quite not familiar with the word.
ROM stands for read only memory. Basically your phone will have come with the Stock ROM (Windows 6.1) but its like a basic version. Now because HTC and the phone companies like Orange, O2 etc are not that forthcoming with updates etc due to new phones being constantly announced, there are some really clever people on here who have taken either Windows 6.1 or the newer 6.5 and made if you will, custom ROM's.
I was quite confused as to how to update to these new ROM's with their being so many of them but its an easy process once you get the hang of it. I have tried about 3 different 6.5 Roms, and at the moment have gone back to Dutty's 3.9 XT which is a 6.1 rom.
Windows Mobile is so customizable, and thats what these Chefs (Rom creators) are doing. Check out the ROM's from Dutty, Miri, NRG etc they have all done fantastic jobs.
Hope this helps.
HD 2 calendar
ok, thanks. it gives me some information.. by the way, how i can check type of my rom?
Hi one_e00,
check this post, it has everything you want to know about what rom you use,

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
I just used it myself to change to the newest Miri REV 10 ROM.
And now i have the new calendar you wanted, as it's included in that rom
HD 2 calendar
ok, thanks. i will look foward for it. does the new rom give any trouble to you?
can you post me a picture of your calendar and home picture?
1 more thing, please give me address to Miri Rev 10 Rom, so i can go direct to it without any doubt. i'm afraid i go to wrong rom.

Well I don't have any troubles but there is always some bugs since most of the roms are not stable yet since (as far as I know) neither windows mobile 6.5 or htc sense is completed. When they're updated rom cooks update their roms also so when you start flashing you might want to flash new one when cooks release it, but you don't have to of course. But I started flashing roms one day after I bought my Blackstone.
The screenshots are from NRGZ28's energy rom photon with manila 2.5. I haven't use Miri's rom but I can suggest you NRGZ28's.
Also you'll need to read Dummies guide: flashing 1.56+ roms [v 2.0] carefully. Good luck and have fun with new roms

thanks a lot. it gives me much info.
if only the calendar could be incorporated into Manila 2.1 *sigh*

Hi guys,
I'm using the new stock rom from HTC win WM6.5 WWE
because, i didnt find the right cooked rom for me here yet.
So my question is, is there a way for update the WM 6.5 to the version 6.5.1
which is more finger friendly, because i'm sick sometimes with trying to touch the right link, or a letter for example..
regards,
patzkata
There's no official HTC 6.5.1 ROM, if that's what you're asking. There are plenty of 6.5.1 ROMs cooked up by the chefs here though.
Thread moved (not related to ROM development).
Thanks

I've tried a several cooked roms, but neither of them likes to me.
there are a lot of bugs in them, or stuff that annoy me,
I already wrote that I didt find the right rom for me, so I'm stuck on the Official.
So the question is simple I think. Is it possible or not to make just an upgrade.
the 2 systems are with one base, I i think that it must be some kind of "hot Fix"
Am I right?

Not really, 6.5.1 is majorly different to 6.5, most of the Core OS files will have changed. 6.5.1 is also beta still, and changing weekly, you'll just have to keep trying custom cooked releases (or learn to cook).
Dave
thanks,
this answer my question ..
I guess I have to wait

Who knows from where WM 6.5 OFFICIAL can be downloaded?
Official for the hermes? Nowhere. WM6 is the latest 'official', it's an older device.

If it will not work, how did all of the 6.5 cooked roms manage to run? The hermes just barely meets the minumum specs.
Actually it's not going to be released "officially" because it's an old device, and support is going away for it.
6.0 is the last official release for our device.
The information written above we have from HTC E-Club.
When I asked when will be the official wm6.5 Hermes.
Ahh, ok. That must be their way of saying that they aren't going to make it for the hermes lol
