Htc 6800 Wm6?

Hello,
I just picked up an HTC 6800 unit branded the P4000 from Telus. It came with WM5 and I would like to load WM6 on it. I've been reading lots around here trying to get all the tools and information I need to move forward but more than anything I'm nervous that I will brick my phone. I know my phone is very new and I'm not sure if these tools will work on my model or not?
From what I understand I need to use the CID Unlock to allow me to upgrade my ROM and Radio for WM6.
I think with a little trial and error that I have enough knowledge to get this working it's just like I said I'm not sure if these tools will work on my phone.
Can someone please tell me if this will work or give me some links to other posts that might help.
Thanks in advance for everyones help,
Dave

DO NOT UPGRADE with WM6 in this forum! the phone you have is the Herald which is not the same as the Hermes. If I am right yours has a 200mhz chip and the keyboard slides out to the right. If you upgrade with the Hermes WM6 it will brick your device.

Sorry,i imagine this has been asked many times before.I have seen mention of Hard spl's and other thing a ma jigs lol.
Many thanks Tony

You really have a lot of reading to do. So much that we cannot post it all here. It has taken an entire forum for all of the information. You need to start here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Get familiar with what you can do. First thing you are going to want to do is update the boot loader so you don't brick your device. Read here for more information:

Do not "just install" ... ideally read the wiki first, and then follow instructions on Mrvanx's Guide. Upgrading is pretty painless and easy ... and the guide should keep you on track.

A ha ,i knew there would be more to it than that,not sure what a wiki is lol but looks like im gonna find out.
If someone could just give me a list of things to do before hand ill do the appropriate reading
i.e 1 upgrade the boot loader etc etc ,please dont go into detail a mere shopping list will do.
,thanks for the links by the way.
Best wishes tony

My subjective pick is Black 3.01 ...
Remember to go "Hard SPL" first, and that you need to upgrade your radio seperately.

Right just updated the Hard splv7 and my radio to 1.41.00.10,ive also flashed with black 3.0. Now i cant seem to get a wireless link to work or turn on my bluetooth?
Also does this mean i can flash any cooked rom?
Many thanks Tony

Update: it just needed a reboot and all was well.
Getting back to the above question-can i flash with any coocked rom now?
Thanks for all your help.Tony

generally speaking, yes.... but be sure you are flashing OS only (unless you want to upgrade your radio too). Most folks are putting out OS only upgrades now, but some replace the radio. once you are hard spl and no longer a flashing virgin, it becomes second nature.

Thanks for everyones help,all sorted,nice one!

Wow what a refreshing read. A noob explaining himself and asking clear questions and members helping him out in an open and non-judgemental way...
Well done everyone!

...and no flames...
Kudos go to MrVanx for those incredible guides.

Yep superb guides and a very noob friendly thread,thanks again peeps.Flashed to a couple of different roms today to check them out.

please help

hi im a really new new newbie so please dont flame me
i know i may have posted this in the wrong section, sorry if i have
basically i am trying to upgrade my spv m3100 to black diamond 3.5
i have flashed the HardSPL to version IPL 1.04 and SPL 2.10olipro from IPL 1.01 and SPL 1.04 (HardSPL7) as instructed by the hermes guide website.
I am basically now trying to upgrade the radio to version 1.41.00.10: but when i run the ROMUpgrade.exe i am asked to specify the SPL i have, the Hermes guide website advised me to click auto detect, however when i press this i get the error message "Error, unknown version! you should pick SSPL"
please help as i dont know what i should do now, thanx everyone

http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_frontpage&Itemid=1
start reading...

The clincher is that it says "you should choose SSPL"..........but dont.......
select Bootloader 2.10 then tick the "is it HardSPL?" box.
This has been addressed a few times.

thanx for your help, im really sorry for being ignorent

man that upgrading process was stressfull
do you know what was running through my head during the process:
please not a 200quid brick please no lol
i had 6 ciggerates while upgrading, this upgrading stuff aint good for my health lol

wow i just answered this question 3 hours ago in the hermes upgrading section. just for fun, i did a google xda-search for the exact phrase "please help", came up with 13,400 results

lol
iv got a few problems now
if you lot can give me a link to another thread that would be great
it doesnt read the memory card, says its not installed
cant use bluetooth headset, cant connect active sync using bluetooth
sorry again

search for the answers they have already been addressed. we can give you a nudge here and there, but we are not going to spoon feedd you answers that you can easily find yourself. i would start by reading the black dymond thread. then get really good with the search tool.
good luck

Its a site dedicated just for upgrades and how to do upgrades.

Chef can't cook?

OK I'm a noob. I've just downloaded Gen.Y_D2_R5.3-WWE.7z for my HTC Touch Diamond P3700. (On Australia's 3G Network)
Now how do I go about installing it in my phone / flashing it? I've read a few posts but obviously it hasn't sunk in my brain. What do I need, is there additional software I need to complete the flashing. I've read a lot of stuff about cooking etc but have no clue.
Cheers, all help would be appreciated.

Well, you're gonna need your reading glasses, lol...this is a good point to start:

and this one is also very usefull:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=608668
Anywayz first of all your phone needs HardSPL to be able to flash other roms then the one that came with your device.
I'm sure you'll figure it out, cuz this noob did that too .
O and consider edtiting the subject of your topic cuz this has nothing to do with cooking (= creating a rom) but more with unlocking and flashing custom roms.
Good luck and have fun re inventing your Diamond!
