Need help with my new(USED) Universal

---

Hi
Im not new to the xda scene ut am new to this phone.
My question is that the phone was unlocked and on wm6.1 when I got it, I tried to update the rom and all goes well but when the phone restarts, after i have calibrated the screen the phone crashes and I have to reboot (after which it seems fine)
Now what I would like to do is start again from the begining, I would like to remove the flash disk and reflash a fast wm6.1 rom with lots of extras, know its a big ask but any help is greatly appreciated.

And before anyone says read the wiki, thats what I have been doing but its confusing for me as the phone is already unlocked (sim and cid) i believe

Thanks in advance

i had good luck with ranju's tomal rom. stable, fast and enough compatible goodies available elsewhere.

if you use a stock rom first, it will clear the extended rom. then you can flash the tomal rom and remove the ms.nbf from the rom folder (if there is one in whichever rom you use). that file is the extended rom. flashing a stock rom first is the preferred method, but tomal also offers an extended rom that is empty, but visible. it will come as an ms.nbf file. place that in the folder of the rom you intend to flash and it will clear the extended, but leave it visible. hope this helps.

Thankyou chasmanian: Could you tell me where to find a stock rom its an o2exec originally and will doing this replace the simlock as well
many thanks for your quick reply

Ok dont worry I have found the answer myself ,Always use the search
Can you tell me if there is anything I need to do before flashing this stock rom i.e changing bootloader or any other confusing stuff like that

I recommend you to READ the Wiki before flashing

Good luck!

if you're using vista, there is a special driver needed for the phone to be flashed. look here

if it's got a custom rom on it already, not stock, then chances are it's unlocked and has a newer bootloader, but just in case, look here and here
