Hi all!

Allow me to introduce myself, i am, the duke! my windows mobile history is as follows:
SPV E200, SPV C500, i-mate SP3i, Vodafone V1240, Himalaya, Charmer, Magician, Wizard and now.......HERMES! finally!lol


needless to say i am not new to rom flashing, and indeed have also cooked a few roms in my time.

i have a few questions here to which i hope i will get helpful answers and not just some smart-alec telling me to read the wiki! i am in the process of reading the wiki!


This is my first device that uses the newer 'NBH' files opposed to the old NBF's and tornado bootloader.

And there is clearly a few ways to flash, and what appears to me to be the best is using the 'HERMIMG.nbh' file on storage card technique.



my questions are as follows:

1) Which is the QUICKEST and most stable WM6 rom

2) After CID-Unlocking is it worth flashing Hard-SPL?

3) what rom do you reccomend and why?



this is all, please, no smart-arse comments! at the moment i am using the TNT5.0 rom on my wizard


many thanks

1.) I always found LVSW ROMs to be the most stable, always deployed without faults. As for the fastest, personally (as a basic users and abuser of a phone), I never found one to be vastly faster than another. Especially WM6 ROMs.

2.) Huh, never even crossed my mind not to.

3.) I'm back to WM5 Original T-Mobile shipped I'm afraid, I braved Schapps and vp3g ROMs (liked them both I must say), but I just had issues that forced me back...

Duke,

1) Not tried all the others on her but Schaps 354c lite is pretty quick.

2) Hard SPL = Always. Safe bet for Tytn Rom burning.

3) Schaps 354c full. Has everything I need and is incredibly stable, which was a key criterion for me. Plus Schaps himself has a Tytn so I was happy to use the Rom knowing he had built and tested it on my device type before throwing it out there.

So when are you going to start cooking then?

my Answers are as follows:



I found that the best stable ROM is Schap's 3.54C & 3.6A



Yes you have to do that to prevent bricking your device



I tried several ROMS the best I found in my opinion is Schap's it is a fast rom with an elegant interface I've been using it for more than a month with no problems at all, there are several roms I've tried like TNT2 and Cyphol which is really based majority on Schap's.

If you need any further assistance please PM me.:) happy flashing.............................
