I have searched mutiple ways. I have found just about every baked, half baked, dumped and changed wm6 ROM's out there. I have seen posts saying that what they had was the official wm6 AT&T ROM *but they had removed this or that.

I WOULd LIKE PURE!!!! Put plain and simply, the exact same OEM WM6 AT&T ROM that I would get if I bought a new device from my local AT&T store without have to buy a new device.

I have a Cingular (AT&T) 8125.

What I am NOT looking for in posts back:

Suggestions telling me to "stick it".
Telling me to search harder. (I have. And I have used google)
Someone telling me to go buy a new device.
Suggestion to try someone's half baked or modified ROM.

Just the original, unmodified or tarnished by what someone thinks is best.

Thanks,

Curious George

There's no such thing as an official wm6 ROM for the wizard from AT&T or any other carrier. If there was, you could download it directly from the AT&T website or the HTC website.

As for the "half baked" ROM's you can find in the wizard section, they were based on leaked versions that came from micrsoft and each had a whole lot of bugs in them that a lot of people here spent a a whole lot of time working out. If you don't want to use them, then don't, but don't go bad mouthing the work that so many people donated their time and effort to give to you free of charge.

They didn't GIVE me anything because I did NOT accept it. Half baked refers to those ROMS that people customize to their specific needs but make no sense to a general user. Removing important items and filling them up with unimportant trash. My first post was a tongue and cheek remark of not suggesting those. I don't need a principal or admonishment here.

Thanks,

what you DO need is to WAKE UP and crawl out of that box labeled "OFFICIAL".
(isn't the "OFFICIAL ROM" what "someone" THINKS is best?)
If you don't like the wm6 roms available, then get a vanilla rom and cook your own. That way it will have just what YOU want.
BTW they HAD to remove stuff from the leaked WM6 to make the rom fit the Wizards memory, also, if you didn't accept the cooked roms then how do you know they're half baked?

Since there ISN'T an official WM6 rom for the Wizard, your options (short of buying a new device) are:

Continue to use WM5 (official or not)
use an "unofficial" WM6 rom
cook your own WM5 rom
cook your own WM6 rom <- Best Option IMHO

I just doesn't make any sense to rant and rave about the useless stuff in other peoples roms when all the tools, packages, tutorials, and kitchens are available for you to make a custom rom to suit your specific needs.

hi curious george
I think you missunderstand the whole thing about cooking roms. and what an Offical rom is. these cooked roms are all made by people that have spesific needs and an official wm6 from AT&T would also contain alot of junk that you might never need.
It's the same with OEM pc's when you buy a HP or A Dell you will get the basic OS + what HP or Dell think you would also need.
so an offical AT&T rom would not have the same apps as an offical O2 or a offical HTC rom.. but they would all still be offical roms but by 3 differant companies.

and romcookers do the job (for free) that AT&T,O2 and HTC would need to hire people to do for money.
