I have been looking through this forum and havent come across exactly how to install a new ROM on my t-mo dash... So I am sorry if these are dumb questions... But I do have a touch pro 2 and they explained to me how to install a new ROM on it. Is it the same concept for the Dash? Do I have to flash it with an SPL? If someone could explain all this to me it would be appreciated, or if you could direct me to a part of the forum that will assist me. I want to change the ROM on my dash for practice before I do my TP2...
I'll explain the forum has a sticky & the top take your time to read........... Does say read before posting so as to stop ?'s that are already answered........
The choice if HSPL is yours most people don't but is available in sticky, the noobs guide to flashing is there too.
Good luck.

Hi,
As I'm sure you can all appreciate, I'm new to this and I was just wondering the various pros and cons to the XDA Live and Black v3 ROMS...
I've read countless pages on both ROMS but need some clarification on a few things... Which ROM is the most complete... as in which version has the most working software, I noticed some imporant features for both seem to have problems...
Black needs a bluetooth patch to work properly and Live doesnt have voice calling?!
So which is the most advanced out of the two?
i think is Black v3
dude, this is the SECOND thread you have made for complete n00b questions.
please READ, READ, READ first
when you are read to ask a question, SEARCH SEARCH SEARCH first
every ROM has its pros and cons, there is no "perfect" rom and there is no "imperfect" roms. read the wiki and you can learn without being lazy and starting new (and useless) threads.
black v3.1 is the newest build "released", but the best advice is to try either (or both) over afew days to see if they work for you.
Before you do though, please read Mr Vanx guide to upgrading, so that you don't brick your device.
Good luck & happy flashing.

I have to second this comment. While it's nice to have, don't try to get that "perfect" ROM. Read, read, read. We all do, no-one can claim his/her time is worth more than others because you have no idea who else is on the forum. If you think this is time consuming and want to help others, summarize them and update the WIKI!
If your goal is simply trying to get Hermes to be a productive machine, read the wiki, guide, thread. List down the pros/cons, select the one on top that fits your criteria, make your informed decision and move on.
If it meets most of your need, stick with it. If not, go to the next one.

Sorry dude.

hi
I tried looking around and really couldnt find any information for n00bs to help them cook there own roms.
could someone please advise me where this information is available or if someone can do a breif guide on what to do and how?
dont meen to ask TOO much but its really been buggin me.
Your pretty much going to have to read and search...
I have been trying to make my own for awhile and no luck until a couple nights ago I finally got something "cooking".
I found I ended up using two or three different programs to cook with since they all seem to do a little different.
Sorry I can't personally be of more help but you are going to have to search and read since no one will probably take the time to make it "super easy".
Bhups,
Start with the wiki. There are now a number of ROM kitchens that make cooking "relatively easy" to where we were a few months ago.
My suggestion would be to find the threads in the Development & Hacking forum and simply read through them to build up your knowledge base. This will take some time so be prepared.

Ummm ... you asked this very same question in this thread, and were given an answer (by me)
Why start a new thread with this, instead of reading answers to your last post on the issue?
-pvs
Search the Wizard thread for Faria's Kitchen, it has lots of information about cooking a ROM. Just remember that most of things might be the same for Hermes, but you cant put a wizard ROM on hermes and vice versa. Good luck, keep searching and reading. Follow the link in my signature as needed.
cheers all...
pvs - i'm sorry, I think I missed that thread.
Been so fustrated tring to find places for tutorials I forgot what I posted where.
I thougt someone may have a dummies way of cookin roms ready so they can post it as a reply on a new topic and it can be eaiser for others to find this solution.
It obviously now seems like there is ALOT of reading to do on this, and in multiple places.
okidoki peeps..
me off to it.
Thanks again to all!
Hey guys,
I was using Unsigned-Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex to flash b4 installing the new rom. it is showing 100% done and my phone reset, and all look fine...
however when entering bootloader screen it is showing me the version as 1.34.00 (sth like this), and check from the rom in the setting of the phone..it is still 1.34.xx (the original rom).
I was following the steps from some posts in the forums...but still the same..
Can anyone please help? sorry i am a newbie to pda phone...
Thanks again guys
can you follow the steps here exactly and let me know the result?
hard-spl upgrade guide
I have a similar problem. When i made HARD SPL everything is ok, but when i try to make a ROM update there is an error massage on the screen. I tried with 2 or 3 ROMs and always the same ****... I downloaded the official one and it's the same... I made printscreen here it is ---> http://img29.picoodle.com/img/img29/4/7/2/f_gggm_0346e0b.jpg any ideas ?
maybe you installed the rom using sspl and hard spl did not install when you tried to install it. Not sure if this is possible.
Let check the Hard-SPL installed:
press volume down and soft reset (small red button) together and keep until comes out the 3 colored band in the screen, read the Hard-SPL version, it must be 1.40.
Let us know, ciao.
that's the windows error message saying it needs to close.. what's the error message the RUU gives.. it should have a number, or description of what happened. sure your download is not simply corrupt?
Well I have downloaded it 3 times already and every time i tried to make ROM update after HARD SPL my device cannot make upgrade and this error massage is on the screen.. I made soft reset after HARD SPL and there was no 3, but 4 colors on my screen...I thought that I ****ed up the phone, but for my luck I'm not hehe. BUT The f***in version is the same:
ROM version: 1.34.831.1 WWE. ROM date: 05/25/08. Radio version: 0.93.25.NS16. Protocol Version: 52.24.25.08H.
Please help, I don't know WTF!?!? That version is just NO COMMENT!
Thanks...
yeah can you please state the exact error message that comes up?
also, can you confirm you have Hard-SPL on your device.. if so, which version? (signed or unsigned)

Yea after i followed the steps it is working all fine for me. I think my original problem is the way to enter boot loader screen, but then during the flash of the signed rom (1.37.456.2) i found that the version for boot loader is SPL-1.40.OliNex .
Now all is working fine, thx guys!!!
1 more question, if i have the hard spl installed, flashed a new rom. What should i do if i wanna flash another rom? (let say, after RUU-1.37.456.2 i wanna flash 1.37.401.3). Should i sspl and hardspl and install the new rom? Or i just simply install the new rom without hardspl again?
Thanks again!!
no, hard-spl is 'permanent' on your device unless you manually revert to stock SPL or something..
just flash another ROM without flashing Hard-SPL again

Could you please stop flashing your site all the way here? Here at XDA there is a lot of info how to flash your phone, it is not needed to flash your site all the time here. One time is enough.
i'm not 'flashing' my site.. if one time was enough he would have already gone through the guide. i didn't even MENTION the site, either, simply gave him a link to the guide. if you take time to read the thread you'll find that it actually helped him get hard-spl on his diamond which is why the site was created so we can minimize these kind of questions and threads in the forums.. if you spent more time actually helping people instead of writing ridiculous posts like this maybe we'd have a cleaner and more productive forum
Thankz guys thatz helpful

not possible, at all, and don't try either, you could screw the device up if you try to flash a ROM we signed.

ya, ridiculous cause there is no step by step upgrade guide with pics in the forum, and yeah all the info was there, but obviously some ppl have trouble reading so i gave him the info he needed. You on the other hand have yet to say anything helpful in this thread. So stop being a troll and post something useful. this will definitely be the last reply i waste on you

Hi
I am not new to technical forums. But I am new to this phone and I want to put a new rom on this phone. The current one is so slow.
What is the best rom available.
How do i put a new rom onto the phone.
Please keep it simple or point me to step by step specific instructions. Not a set of generalised instructions.
I looked at the how to thread. It was not step by step and got lost after three clicks.
specific help would be excellent.

@OP, you've been pointed in the right direction and escaped the usual harsh treatment for asking such questions.
I'm closing this thread. Please remember to search and READ THE WIKI before posting questions. Also, while new threads are sometimes needed double & triple check before creating a new thread. Read the link sin my signature for more info...
i download sense rom but i cant upgrdae in my diamond, hepl please how can i do it
Try to read the wiki-pages and the sticky threads on top of this sub-forum to learn how to upgrade your ROM.
Make sure you understand the steps clearly otherwise you may brick you phone.
People should look and search for the answers by themselves first (because most of the questions had been asked before many times), that's the reason nobody bother to answer you ...
Good luck!
BTW, it is also not good to open new threads for the same questions:
