Newbie flashing cooked rom

[rockuman_ex]

Hi,

I'm newbie when it comes to flashing etc.

I have a Dopod D810 (network unlocked, etc).
I have flashed it with the official WM6, however, i wish to try one of the cooked rom available here.

my question:
- will i void my warranty?
- will i flash the phone the way i flash my phone with the official rom?
- how do i go back to the official rom once i've flashed it with the cooked rom?

thanks for the help

Hey!
Even though this has been discussed before - and a simple search would have given you the answers, here they are:
- will i void my warranty?
- YES
- will i flash the phone the way i flash my phone with the official rom?
- YES, check www.trinityguides.info
- how do i go back to the official rom once i've flashed it with the cooked rom?
- You can download official ROMs from the support site, or you can take a look here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=371201).

tnyynt, thanks.

Mind telling me what's hard SPL for?

Read the Wiki! Here (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Acronyms)and here (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HardSPL)!

Excerpt from racerx_ trinityguides.info:
Hard SPL will allow you to flash cooked ROMs without SuperCID’ing your device and also will protect your device from being bricked in a bad flash. If a bad flash occurs it should remain in bootloader, and you can re-flash another ROM.


And remember the rules: search (native forum search, google search), read the results, read the wiki, search some more and then ask!

tnyynt, once again thanx (i LOVE your themes by the way).

So, since my phone is unlocked, I don't have to do hard SPL right?

Just download the cooked rom and go from there?

sorry for keep asking questions here, i know i can search, but i'm confused with the terminologies.

be nice please :D

Enter bootloader and check for HardSPL and version to make sure. If it is either OliPro or Des, you can proceed with flashing.

Mine is a Des.

So finally took the plunge to upgrade to WM6.1!!!!
flash my device with Mary's Super Lite. All looking good!

thanks for the help!
