Hello, I'll be getting my Wing within the week and I was wondering what the newest official firmware/rom is out by T-Mobile or HTC for the Wing? I'm very new to PDA phones so I'm not sure about what to upgrade to or if I should.
Thanks!

If I am not wrong, there is only one version for wing and you will get it with that. How ever, I am sure you are NOT going to stay with that . You will definetly flash it to one of sexy roms Touch-IT,WWE v1.1 or PDAVIET Touch Flo Professional Rom v4.12.07.12.
best of Luck .
I suggest you spend the next week trying to familirize(correct spelling?) yourself with the flashing process and trying to cover the problems that others have when flashing, pretty much read the entire Herald forum. I know it seems like a lot but you'll be glad that you did once your Wing arrives. This way you will already know which edits are needed (such as PP) and which edits are useful or flashy and can waste memory (htc home plugin/slide2unlock.)
btw welcome to xda-dev, feel free to drop a PM when you need help.
and since your from T.O gotta add the...

I used the tmo update for a couple days. the fact that I flashed back to the old ROM should tell you that the update sucks. I personally hated it. they take more tweak ability away from the user. I think that was their only purpose in the update was to make it harder to tweak. I could be wrong though

i believe this is the newest OFFICIAL T-mobile wing ROM.
dont see why you would use it but whatever you want.
and i believe THIS is the newest build of WM6.1 but is not official for the wing but is still usable if you have hard-spl
hope that helps.
New Wing
Yeppers, just read read read and have fun

Ok i uderstand why the cooked rom should be taken down, but why have we had to get rid of the pure roms from t-mobile, orange and so on!!! I would have thought that only cooked roms should be a risk!! If a T-Mobile rom kills my phone i would not be happy and take it up with them, but if a mess my phone up using a cooked it is my own fault!!!

Umm...., you can get the "pure" ROM from HTC or your Provider so what is the problem?

You lost me there I was telling him that he can get the original "pure" ROM from HTC or his Provider. I don't know what you are trying to tell me.
yes but it is not so simple to find the t-mobile site!!! and it is nice to have all rom in one place!!! and i do not check the site everyday, so i will know that there is a new rom by someone linking to it on here!!!
What does it matter anyway. The only time my Wizard had a pure operator ROM on it was during the time it was in the box on the shelf in the t-mobile store. As soon as I got it home I upgraded it and have't been back to a stock ROM since. I did keep a copy of the original ROM just in case there was ever a warrenty issue but I think I am past that point now. Even if the site can't post ROM's anymore it doesn't stop .cab files and extended ROM's being posted which is really where the fun starts anyway.

original rom?? or un hard spled?? i know how to do both.. just gotta say which one... lol..
i would love to know how to do both please :]
I am also in desperate need of knowing how to do this!
There are plenty of posts regarding this...
One minute search gave me a few different posts that had the answer, this one being the clearest on it by far.
How to remove HardSPL from tmobile wing (Removes both HardSPL and the ROM, obviously.)
hi, Im still kinda new to all this but would like to flash a new rom ,have read some of the threads and im still a little confused ..is there no way to make the like an .exe so it just runs like the rom ugrades on HTC website ...like i said new to all this and i figured if it could be done it would of but has to ask ..( wife would kill me if i bricked this phone)
They do run as an exe. Just unzip the file, then open the folder and double click customRUU.exe, and that will run just like an update from HTC!!
Make sure you have HSPL'd your phone first, and have a read of the stickies in the rom development forum first.

I'm planning to put WM6.5 on my Touch HD.
First: Will there be an official one from HTC or do I have to get it here?
If I take one from here, which one would you recommend? I'd like a clean one with no software pre-installed. (except what you would expect from HTC like manila)
Thanks!
1) no there wont be an official 6.5 rom for the HD
2) the which rom should i choose question is frowned upon here cuz it starts arguments, all i can suggest is try diffrent roms, each one offers diffrent things, you'll soon find one you like
alright, thanks!
is there somewhere a list of available roms?
i can't quite find any

Not looking very hard, are you? Try Blackstone ROM Development or HTCPedia.

May also want to try this page in the wiki....should be almost up-to-date. If its not up-to-date then the rest can be found in rom development forum

You are right I wasn't looking very hard. Thanks for the hint to the wiki!
well i guess i'm just leaving my original rom...
i flashed my artemis and i remember having a hard time reading through many threads around here. i don't want to risk doing something wrong... i found a rom that seens good but i couldm't find any download link. what i've heard so far about WM6.5 is not really worth going through all that.
maybe i'll change my decision soon though
thanks!
I had the same problem

Hi everyone,
is there a way to backup my current ROM? I'm new in the Omnia and I wanted to have a backup of my ROM for two reasons:
1) Safe measure in case anything goes wrong with new ROMs
2) My phone comes with a one year warranty but of course they will check if some one ( ) messed up the ROM before fixing.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
The stock ROM is available for download from Verizon, I have a copy of it available to i will put on my server later. It is the same as the factory shipped Verizon one. There is a tool available to dump the ROM from the phone but kind of a waste of time IMO as its the same as we all have.

NICE, thanks so much this is exactly what i needed since my update keeps freezing at 31% when i try to upgrade to the latest Samsung rom,
I understand that Verizon provides the stock roms, but is there a way to back it up? I have a bell omnia 2 that i'd like to back up the csc and phone portions of the rom before i go ahead and flash up to something better...

If you only flash the PDA nb0 portion of the ROM, you wont risk messing up your csc or phone part. Someone else might have more info, but from what ive heard you can dump the whole ROM, but not use it as a backup. have to do some more reading on that.
