UPDATE: Looks like Daron just pulled the post trying to hide his site was sharing illegal ROMs. No worries as Google Cache has it for all to enjoy.. Should they be encouraging passing around illegal ROMS?

HardSPL and WM6.1 ROMs

Okay, aching to try WM6.1 on the Orbit 2, so anyone seen a HardSPL variant for it and any decent WM6.1 ROMs around yet?

Hey Daron word of advice

“Participating and or soliciting illegal ROM’s isn’t the smartest move to keep your MVP”

Don’t they get the real deal from MS? Being an MVP they should have access to this.

Unfortunately not Steve. Microsoft rarely will distribute ROM’s to MVP’s freely without putting them on devices first then sending the device out.

I think the bigger issue is that Microsoft’s distribution of their ROMS is broken. Even the MVP’s are having to beg, borrow, and steal for an upgrade. This isn’t even 6 to 7, it’s 6 to 6.1…6.1! There are 6.0 phones that will never see this update legally and it is sad. They need to jerk the carriers out of the loop on the software, that of course is issue #1. Of course the issue is much deeper and more complicated. Sorry, a little bitter about these ROMs.

I agree with you jdoss. I personally think that M$ upgrade process (or lack thereof) is one of the worst in the mobile device industry.

David I think most people out there including MVPs tend to experiment with cooked ROMs. Myself though I tend to use HardSPL not to load cooked ROMs but as protection to loading any ROM including the legal WM test ROMs I use during testing for various operators.

The original post was made I guess in the joy of WM6.x coming out for my fave machine. The only ROMs I use actually official test ROMs from a carrier I work closely with. I hope this clarifirs the situation.

Good to see you never change in your attitudes David…

Daron its illegal.. You know it is.. If you valued your MVP you would obey by the rules of not supporting illegal roms..

Sorry I pointed it but if you were doing what you should be doing then this wouldn’t be an issue.

LOL I also find it funny you deleted the thread. I guess you were a tad worried that MS would read it… Don’t worry I have a screen shot

Moved by one of my Mods I belive as I’ve just got back from holidays 10 minutes ago.

On 4WM we act as an information source for the community I / we do not cook or develop third party ROMs, and as I said personally I use test ROMs from carriers I work with.

End of the matter.
