Authenticity of “Official” WM6 ROM & Step by Step Guide

Can anyone provide these answers before I ever risk installing this:
What are the origins of this "Official" ROM to make it be classed as an "Official" HTC ROM as there is nothing mentioned on HTC support website?
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
1) Also, as a suggestion could the ROM list page (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...inity_Upgrades) be updated to reflect the flurry of recent releases of ROMs in the forum over the last few weeks inc. this one?
2) Which of these is the correct one to use on for upgrading from Orange SPV M700 Wm5 as after reading the threads I have: TRIN_WM6.rar, TRIN_WM6_FLASHER.rar, Official_WM6.rar.
3) If there are patches / upgrades required for this e.g. HTC_VideoCallPatch_vX.cab, Microsoft_Office_Mobile_6.1.cab could I suggest they be all be culminated on a special page for this ROM if this is to be the baseline ROM for future developments / tweaks as these files are scattered all over the forum at present.
4) Any chance an experienced flasher could create a "Step by Step Guide" from an Orange SPV M700 Wm5 locked to an WM6 Official install (inc. Orange Settings / Customisations etc.) unlocked that includes creating a ROM backup of your own phone prior to installing, so you can switch back? - I have read the posts / threads and have yet to find a definitive page on all this.
Just a thought..... as it would help novices and cut down posts to relevant questions and not the same old inquiries.
Cheers

Yeah we noob need some steb by steb guide(for vista though)

it was stated in the first mention of this rom that the poster wouldn't be answering questions about it.. so there's not much people can tell you about where it came from, etc.
the cabs may or may not be accumulated because there's nothing to suggest that this ROM will be the basis of future developments. The build is older than current WM6 ROMs on this forum.. better read a bit more to get the big picture.
can't tell you which one is the right .rar file to flash, but you won't find a step by step guide. Essentially, go get hard-spl and run the RUU to install it on your phone. Then manually enter the bootloader and while connected via USB run the RUU for the ROM you want to flash.
I don't use vista, so can't say much about the connection problems but there are MANY MANY posts about it, so i suggest you get searching.
happy flashing

[TOOL] Improved Version of Seven-Eighter

Over the past few days, I have been working on a new version of Seven-Eighter based off of the source code that Jaxbot kindly provided. I have made numerous improvements to the original version.
One of those improvements is instead of embedding the links to the update files as strings in the actual program, my version of Seven-Eighter downloads a config file from the internet which contains the links to the update files. In this manner, you, the user, do not have to download a new version of the program every time Microsoft releases a new update for Windows Phone 7.x. All I have to do on my end when a new update comes out is to just update the config file once I find links for the new update.
Some more improvements include improved error handling and some better instruction to help you with the update process. If you haven't yet, you should really check it out. I am curious as to what people think of my version compared to the original.
You can find the link to download my version of Seven-Eighter on my blog here: http://bit.ly/ZOzAz9
Now as such, I am always looking to improve. I welcome any and all suggestions. If you want to throw something my way to help with development you are welcome to do so, but not required (your satisfaction works just as well, check my signature for instructions).

Nice work!

To be honest, I didn't test my version of Seven-Eighter with a custom rom image (only stock factory rom image). What build is it currently running?

I have the exact same question.
I pretty much bricked by bootlaoder on my AT&T HD7S using the initial version of SevenEighter from jaxbot and now can't even use the gold card method to downgrade since I need it unlocked.
My RGB bootloader screen only shows one line of text at the top in the red and nothing in the white space where it should say USB HOST/Loader Mode.
But at least I had a 7.5 Zune backup that I can restore to, the only thing being that it doesn't restore my bootloader.
So, question is, can I use your software to upgrade to a custom unlocked 7.8?
Thank you!

I was finally able to get my Focus S upgraded to 7.8. Got tired of waiting. I had a problem with the application and had to close it. when I relaunched, it continues where it left off. Nice! I left the update.log just in case.
Now I just need to unlock it for side loading. Anyone recommend ways that still work? Thanks.
Will

Screenshot please ?

anybody updated at&t titan 2 to 7.8?

Yes. The seveneighter app worked perfectly. I just wish I could install the version of htc connection setup I had on my hd2 so I could change my apn settings for my carrier instead of being locked out of my mms.

[Kernel] Deported / Stockish [AT&T Discussion]

The idea to have individual carrier discussion threads was a good idea, in theory. It allowed finding the kernel support thread without leaving the device section that was already being viewed.
Instead of making things easier, it was only more work retrieving the correct link for all of the posts that ended up in the development thread. This does not include many of the issues that were carrier independant and ended up spanning multiple discussion threads, including the development and building threads.
Rather than posting links at the risk of rude comments boycotting the minimal effort necessary, all discussion is being funneled into Issues, Reports, & Configuration.
It was a good run. Thanks for reading.

Help - detailed guide to install custom rom needed after rooting

Hello,
I'm a little stuck on how to install a custom rom on my RN8 Pro after rooting and wondered if someone could answer my questions / explain certain points in a simpler way that some of the guides in this forum. Ideally I'd like it explained as if you were trying to guide a 5 year old - I say this as the was an XDA guide exactly like this for my last phone which was fantastic and had no ambiguity.
I'm currently on:
- chinese rom
- MIUI11.0.3.0.QGGCNXM stable 2.0G
- Android 9
I believe all steps for unlocking the bootloader and rooting are complete. I followed the steps in THE ORIGINAL POST of this guide (I don't think the rest of the posts in that thread are relevant but not sure): https://forum.xda-developers.com/redmi-note-8-pro/how-to/guide-unlock-bootloader-flash-twrp-root-t3995919. Everything seems to work as detailed and Magisk Manager was installed though I've done nothing with this and not sure if I need to. Is this correct?
I'd like to install Lineage so, following a link from another thread in this forum, I've downloaded "lineage-17.1-20200607-UNOFFICIAL-treble_arm64_avN.img.XZ". Is this correct or should I be looking for a ZIP? If so, where?
Assuming the above .XZ file is correct (or after I get the correct file from somewhere), what are the exact steps I need to follow to actually install the rom? I've read things referencing Dalvik cache, clearing certain things, etc but I'm really unclear on this bit and still not sure on the install process. I thought the mega thread would help but there's so much info there I'm even less sure what's applicable or not after reading it. I assume the TWRP I installed in the guide I followed above is used (or maybe an updated version?) but I'm hugely confused over the precise steps to take - the guides seem very detailed on unlocking / rooting but too brief (for me) on rom install. This is the point I would really like explained as if it were to a 5 year old please, along with any followup steps required.
I'm also unsure on the steps required for a backup in case things go wrong. Again, the various threads appear to have different methods depending on what version of TWRP you have installed (I think this is true, as I said I'm confused after a certain point). Maybe the points I did in the guide I followed covered this but I'm doubting it.
Any advice would be greatly appreciated - the chinese rom is driving me nuts and I'm really keen to move from it.
Thank you

you miui build is android 10 based (check the "Q" after the version number), so recheck the threads just in case.

Thank you for the reply but I dont understand. I've gone into all specs at it says:
Device name: Redmi
Device model: Redmi Note 8 Pro
MIUI version: MIUI 11.0.4 | Stable | 11.0.4.0(PGGCNXM)
Android version: 9
Android security patch level: 19/12/01
Are you saying the Android version is 9 but the MIUI is based on 10? If so that confuses me even more. There is a MIUI update pending (it's been wanting to update for a while) but I've held off installing it.
If you are correct and I need to downgrade (I think that's what you're saying?) then I'm pretty sure I understand how to achieve that part. It's the actual installing of the rom where I'm confused. For example, is the IMG.XZ the correct file type? Exactly what do I do to install it? Etc. The guides here spend a lot of time on the unlocking part - which for Xiaomi phones is a pain so understandable. It appears to me a bit less detailed on the rom install - likely because people on this site may have done this many times before. That's the bit I;m querying and unfamiliar with so any links to step-by-step guides (particularly for Lineage) after rooting would be helpful.
Thanks again for your response

hey man, check your first post, the miui version number (MIUI11.0.3.0.QGGCNXM), it says it's an android q (10). i've just wanted to tell you to be careful and eventually not brick your device, that's all

Thanks for the reply - I really appreciate it.
Bricking it is the last thing I want to do
I'll re-read the other threads (3rd time) but i'm not hopeful that I'll be able get anything more out of it than I already have. I think i've understood a fair bit of it (up to unlocking) but just can't seem to find a step by step guide for the rom.
Hopefully someone else will be able to chip in with some advice and thanks for what you've offered so far.
Thanks
