Welcome to the 3VOLUTION SERIES SmartPhone ROM Kitchen!

** Note: I have officially discontinued development on this ROM due to the age of the device and time constraints with other projects. Many good ROMS have been built and I appreciate the support from all my followers. I will continue some minor dev on the newer devices such as the HTC Maple (Dash 3G), etc. Cheers!

3VOLUTION SERIES of Smartphone ROMS will give all new life to our older devices. Outside of the smooth aesthetics, I Kept stability, scalability, flexibility, and speed in mind throughout the cooking process so you will not be disapointed!

When cooking, I focus primarily on the SmartPhone platform in an effort to optomize these great devices that are much overlooked. Feel free to post your comments or suggestions on making the ultimate SmartPhone ROM.

** Many thanks to all who helped build this ROM and XDA's amazing search engine! HUGE thanks to NRGZ28!!! The best Chef in the West!! Also, thanks to JockyW, without him, none of this would be possible! :)

Flashing instructions

:

** note: Your phone must be application unlocked. If it is not, please run SDA Application Unlock.exe via Activesync (attached below).

Download and run SDA Application Unlock with the phone connected

Remove your SD Card

Download and unzip the file

Run Auto.bat

Follow the prompts in the DOS window

Hit "continue" on your phone, screen will turn white

Run RomUpdateUtility.exe (if it doesn't run via the script)

The flash will take about 8-10 minutes

Upon first boot, it will seem frozen for a few minutes, maybe even go black. This is NORMAL!

After first boot, I recommend doing a hard reset (Clear Storage)

Enjoy your new ROM!

In case something goes wrong:

Remove the battery and the SD Card--> Put ONLY the battery back in.

While holding the camera button, press the power button

The multicolor boot screen will pop up

Plug in the USB cable and flash back your shipped (HTC) ROM
