Hey guys,
I swear I must be retarded or something.
Been looking to upgrade to WM6 for a while now, and decided to throw on Black V2.5.
But, I'm also seeing further things such as radio, bootloader, HardSPL etc.
Are these necessary?
If someone can basically add me on MSN and talk me through it, if it's not too tricky, that'd be awesome...
If not, then I'm guessing, I can hook the phone to my PC, flash Black on to it, then copy over the .cab files and run them from the device?
S**t the bed...

Ahhhhhhhh, the wiki...I thought when people said that they were referring to Wikipedia.
Apologies, it's been a long morning.

Firstly, welcome to the Forum
1-Sync your mobile with your PC
2-(Assuming the Cab File is on your PC). Drag this file to a folder on your mobile, eg /Program Files.
3-Using File Explorer, from your mobile, locate this file and run it on your mobile. This will auto install the file.
Secondly, you must Read the WIKI before you decide to install any ROM. This will eliminate the need to ask questions that have already been covered on the subject. MR VANX has written an excellent guide on upgrading your ROM, see last post above your request, and the guide is regularly updated. (thanks for all your good work MR VANX).
I am also fairly new to upgrading and extensively read the guide and followed all instructions. I have now successfully uploaded many ROM's. (Many thanks to all the CHEFS for their dedication and commitment, please keep the ROM's coming).
Good Luck.

Thanks i will spend some time reading more the WIKI , i got the cabs loaded just ran out of room for them all
Hi, welcome to the forum.
Appreciate you ran out of room for all of your cabs, this forum does contain a lot of very useful things,(Thanks Chefs), & if you think you are going to need some again & again, put the most useful cabs on your storage card & then install them to your device. (just in case you keep flashing, as it becomes addictive)
Sorry, already answered

Hi
Is there a UK vodafone ROM for the BA. My provider is vodafone and it would nice to have the correct settingd for my BA, instead of usinf the T-Mobile rom.
Thanks
Lordao
Someone (not me) dumped the ROM here: ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Blueangel/Vodafone_VPx_1.22.nb1
Read the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel for details of how to use this file.
Hope this helps!
hi
Thanks for that, but i don't seem to have permissions to get into that directory.
Regards
Lordao
hi
i got the rom, the extension is different to what i expected, do i have to use a different loader for this, as changing the extension from nb1 to nbf did not work.
Thanks
Lordao
Look at this first..
Hi Lordeo..
Do youself a favour.. Look at this..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted
After, have a quick look at this..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_Versions
As you can see, there's no direct UK Vodafone ROM available however, you can look at upgrading your Rom to the highest here..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_1.42.00_Upgrade
Then applying the UK Vodafone MMS, GPRS and SMS settings from a post I authored a while ago by clicking here..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=32437
Ok, the downside here is that you'll have what is essentally a T-Mobile branded phone..
Lastly, there's always the option of upgrading to WM5.. See here..
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blueangel_WM5_Home
If you do decide to go ahead with this, please read part of a post I authored a couple of days ago.. It states..
General Tips to you (and others)..
If you do want to update or upgrade then make sure you read everything through first.. Make sure you're happy in doing it.. Perhaps use the search function to read through others comments.. I would also recommend reading others comments about trying to downgrade from WM5 to WM2003SE to see what others have encountered
You will not believe the amount of people who end up posting questions when they've not followed the instructions from Wiki that I've pasted for you here..
Finally, if you are stuck, use the search command and describe your problem in the Keywords section, select Blue Angel from the Category and read through the posts relating to it before posting questions..
I think that's everything..?
Goodnight!
Restoring ROM dump
Take a look at this thread: http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=151&PN=1 at the end of the first posting there is a brief section entitled How to Restore. Copy the .nb1 file onto an SD card and follow the instructions in the post to restore. Good luck!
thanks for all the info.
for some reason the rom backup file would not automatically install from the SD. oh well. i went to wm5 very nice but i can not get my gps to pair correctly with bluetooth, back to the t-mobile rom at least tom tom works with 2003 correctly

Hey guys,
I've been trolling the forums for some time now, and I have yet to find the answer that I am looking for in regards to cooking my own ROMs - specifically for the HTC Vogue (Bell). I have looked through all sorts of stickies/readmes, but I still cannot figure out how to put it all together...
I've got a stock ROM from Bell, it has been extracted (so I have the bootloader, .nbh file and so on)...
Now HOW do I extract the .nbf, or even edit it for that matter? The only solution that I have found is the UNIX-based one, but I'll be honest, PERL and I dont get along well...is there a GUI or commandline based solution for WIN32?
I feel dumb for asking, but if someone could help me figure out the editing/compiling/flashing aspect, I'd be forever grateful
Thanks.
Most of the kitchens will take that nbh and parse it out in to the OEM and SYS folders you need.
I would suggest you search for DogGuy's command-line kitchen, and use that as a learning tool as he has batch files that automate most everything, and yet you can go through them to better understand what is happening.
Good luck!
Also some recent threads at ppcgeeks on this topic with useful info.

Yeah, I did check that post, however, it seemed that they were a step ahead of me...the tools that were provided did not (both gave application errors on launch...?).
Thanks for the replies, any one else have other tips, pointers, etc?
PPCGeeks.com is the answer...I still haven't found it yet...there's too much info on that site. Have you seen this thread:
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=18745
By following that method its a TON of work...and that's using a 'kitchen' someone already made. What you and I want to do is create our own kitchen by stripping a stock rom...and there aren't any guides on how to do that...I'm assuming because that's even MORE work. So basically a (TON of work x MORE work) = Fu%$ that.
If you find a somewhat easy way to do this before I do, post it for us!

Hey, I didn't see that thread yet, looks interesting, thanks!

Hello all I am new to this forum but I hope I can find the answers to my problems here. First off I have looked all over the site for NFO to a solution, but I only found bits and pieces, or information that was a little over my head.
This is my problem: I have a an HTC 6800 through US Cellular, I want to upgrade Windows Mobile to the most current version (6.1) I believe, but HTC does not have the upgrade for the USCC version of this phone on their site, and USCC will give me no tangible information either. Plus I would like to enable the GPS. Are there any step by step, easy to follow articles on doing both of these upgrades? Remember I am new to this so the easier to follow the better. Thank you all for any assistance on this and for providing this wonderful forum.
The Titan section of the forums will be where you want to go.
I used this guide (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=24511) to upgrade mine.
Beginners guide for the Titan - http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanForBeginners
The XDA Titan wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Titan
Some other useful info I've compiled: http://sites.google.com/site/victorbush/htc-6800-1
Hope this points you in the right direction!
The directions say to use Titan_No2Chem_5060_WM6.1. Where do I get this and how do I use it in BuildOS?
Actually using the builds that came with BuildOS (like WM6.1 20931) worked for me.
If you're interested ftp://up.ppcgeeks.com/Titan/Users/No2Chem/ has No2Chem's stuff. The kitchen RARs are in the Basekit folder. You'll put that in the BuildOS\Kitchens folder. You'll also want to extract the selections text file from the basekit rar and put it in the projects folder. You may have to tinker with the selections file a bit to get it working properly.
Here's the first 7 lines of the no2chem selections file i used for 5060 (i didn't try any others):
SelectionsVersion=.90.04
KitchenDir=Kitchens\basekit 5060.rar:
ModuleDir=Kitchens\PPCkitchen_OEM.rar:
ModuleDir=Kitchens\PPCkitchen_OEM_VGA.rar:
ModuleDir=Kitchens\PPCkitchen_Addition.rar:
ModuleDir=Kitchens\Generic_OEM.rar:

Again I thank you vicbush. When I installed BuildOS and then patched it, the first time I opened it it gave me no options in the new project screen, after I updated it again then it gave me some options but none of the ones you have shown me. So I am reinstalling BuildOS and I will let you know if that helps.
Vicbush, I thank you. With all your help and your tutorials on changing carrier name and getting data back up, I am now the proud owner of a USCC HTC 6800 running WM6.1. Again thank you so very much.
hi all does anyone know how to obtain an upgrade for hermes 8525 from windows 5 to windows 6and how it should be done? or if its advisable to do so....thanks in advance..
There are numerous options. But first you need to put HardSPL on your device. The only method that worked with my AT&T 8525 was the SD card method.
art here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419158
There is a lot of information in the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
You can snag the update to the stock wm6 at&t here: http://www.4shared.com/file/96949781/3873b8fd/RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_362502.html
There is also a HTC version floating around too. Got it uploaded. http://www.4shared.com/file/174831069/1dd19a3/HTC_TyTN_WWE_3542553_6275_1480.html
I would also suggest making sure your phone has hardslpv7 loaded http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Then you will be set for flashing! There are tons of custom roms around here as well.
thanks

thank you for your help and info am new to the site and havnt learned it as yet. but will the upgrade inable the infared on my device?
Infrared Should work on your device as is. You may just need to enable receiving of files.
I'm sure all of your answers are buried somewhere here on the site. There is tons of information here. There is a search feature at the top brown bar that will search the entire site using google. It will help you find all sorts of stuff
Hello, guys!
The forum is super but here is ocmplete disorder. Where are the ROMS?
How can one find a ROM file here?? The forum is huge and the search leads to discontinued results (2008 year)
Can someone point me to ROM file archive here?
BR
I'd demand a full refund of the money you've paid....
Seriously, if you scroll down through this list a few pages, some kind person has compiled a thread with all the links in one place. Search is terrible and you have to spend lots of your own time. Still, it's free.
Man its full of ROMs. Most active topics or most discussed ROMs are showed on first page. U dont need to search, just click on thread one the rom u like. Its noted by Cook, Built, WM version, sense version, and ROM Version.
Its easy as it can be.
But it's a mess here!
No normal instructions. All are outdated.
Well, as it was said - it's free and therefore it's messy.
ROMs here - one file, no Ruupdate.exe , no nothing. Like if any user comming here is a professional HTC developer. I am simple user and i am sick of spending hours of my time by gathring info by tips. Well, like i said -- good forum, but no order.
What are you complainin?
Please just have a look at recent posts as already said.
The threads where you have a lot of activity are the threads with new roms.
There are also plenty of tutorials!
For example this one: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
For sure you will need some time to compare different roms and find your best fitting one....which comes with the big choise of roms.
And also there will be little problems from time to time which I'm sure you can solve in a short amount of time.
I can recommend the google search, not built in forum search.
Concerning flashing you don't need to use Ruupdate.exe, it's way easier to name your .nbh file DIAMIMG.nbh, move it to the phone's internal storage and flash directly (see tutorial)
Kind regards and have fun with your new roms

My complain is that forum is full of unimportant trash in topics and no really helpfull info. Like now, i have found a ROM, flashed it and i lost TouchFlo ) Super!
And no original ROMS, only some outdated.
Well, i am a bit tired reading this forum today within 8 hours to find more or less fresh tut, so i can not tell you exactly what is wrong, but i am telling you - i am professional software developer, not a lamer and not a pumpkin head BUT i lost in this forum, jumping from link to link.
I would delete ALL and put all in order:
Flash (ROM) files here:
Radio files here:
Boot loaders (Hard SPL or whatever it's called) here:
Flashers (Software) here:
Tutorials here:
Discussion here:
Instead i see 13248 topics with xxxxx messages inside and 1% of useful info.
Well, if you take donations then make it user friendly.
I will donate 100 USD to make it in order.
And PS - this is a problem that there are Plenty or tutorials!
Like we say in my language - brevity wit! Try to write the less and put sense the more.
Like when i read - hard SPL... then 100 lines text, cheers to authors and then - a patched bootloader..
LOL
