Hi!
I'm a bit confused by all the threads here. I am looking for the "official" and most stable english/us version of WM6 that works with my P3600. Can someone point me in the right direction?
I appreciate all replies!
There is no "official" version for P3600 as this is yet to be released. You can risk installing a cooked version, the DOPOD release or wait like everyone else.

I know, that's why I wrote "official". What I meant was the most "commonly" used cooked version that is. I hear alot about the DOPOD version, but I can't seem to find the latest version anywhere. Care to guide me in the right direction here? Thanks.
If you search the forums this question has been talked about many times. There is no right cooked version as each is different and depends on your requirement. I would suggest you install, have a play and see if its right for you. I have gone back to WM5 as it is more stabble and less buggy than cooked versions. At the end of the day I just want a phone that works without hasstle. In any case most WM6 functionality can be installed on WM5 anyhow through individual CAB files.

Thanks for the info. I'll look into it and consider if it's worth installing a cooked version.

One of my sales guys has just brought a spanking new XDA Exec he received from O2 as an upgrade. It's ROM, albeit still WM5, is definitely newer than the one available from O2 UK web site. E.g. ExtROM ends with .23x, and ROM itself is I think .16x.
I know there's a way to easily dump this ROM. I'd like to upgrade myself, and I'd gladly share it with you. In fact, he's quite keen to share it.
Only I found that I know how to flash a ROM into XDA, but I don't know how to strip it from an XDA...
Any tips as to where do I go for the tools? Am willing to do the search, only where?
The tool(s) must allow a nonexperienced person to dump his XDA's ROM into a file for me.
some rom upgrade programs will ask you if you want to save the current version in case you decide to downgrade later, I don't know if this is one of them, but if it is, you just might be able to start the upgrade process and save the old rom then cancel. Don't do it until someone with more knowledge weighs in on the issue. and please do post the rom if and when you get it, Thanks!!!!
Haven't done it in a long while. Have a look here:

Ideally use the mtty/d2s methods. Any rom dumper you run on the phone itself (as opposed to your pc) will not give an ideal virgin rom dump.

I wonder if it's worth a bother extracting this newer ROM.
On one side, everybody seem to be so much preoccupied with newer WM6 ROMs.
On the other side, many people decide to go back to WM5 after testing the Beta ROMs because one or more critical function(s) is missing in their world picture.
So I thought, may be for those who "repented" a newer official O2 XDA Exec ROM.
Am I the only one who has seen a production WM5 ROM newer than what's on O2 site?

Nope, I also have just got a new O2 Exec, with a ROM they don't have on their website (the obvious or the awkward to find place!)
I also would like to extract the ROM for exactly the same reason, ie decide to go back.
I assume you haven't hd any luck yet?

Just a little bit of info needed as I am new to all this cooking ROMS.
I am using the Core Kitchen which I have found easy when extracting a ROM and I have been using the schaps ROM as it contats the RGU files with the packages as oppose to the Black Roms which dont and I am not confident enough to be able to sort out that mess yet.
The question is in two parts and I hope you can help me a little.
Part 1: when you extract the ROM what is contained in the OS.nb file the reas on I ask is I want to get a Basic from MS ROM so I can start with my own ROM building as oppose to someone elses (VERY GOOD I MIGHT ADD) ROM.
Part 2: where can I get the RTM M$ WM6 ROM from a rom without any modifications or any added packages just the M$ PDA/PHONE ROM.
Please help this is the only two bits that im really lost with.
I have a Vario 2 on T Mobile uk
you might want to look at the FTP for vanilla wm6 roms...
the last time i checked, it was still there.
I have seen the Vanilla ROM is that the M$ RTM base OS then ???
hey guys,
can you tell me what specs you enter into duttys tool as im having problems?
thanks in advance
PDAJAS
ImateJasjam (HERMES100)
Radio: 1.20.31.10
Rom: Black IV Shadow
Olipro 2.10
Telstra AUS
Not sure im new to all this myself as you can prob tell.
Vanilla ROM has too many missig files that I cannot even find according to the tutorial with CORE an official ROM wont have any missing files schaps only has 1 which i know where to find it so can put it in the right place.
It just seems easier to want to start with a RTM official M$ rom and build on it rather than hack bits out of an already cooked rom.
the FTP?
Where is this? (it's early for me, is it in the wiki?)

Its on the Wiki i looked at Cooked Roms on the main wiki page and then it gave me a list of them that were avaliable. Vanilla was on the top of the list.
Skauk,
you can also give a look at the Dopod ROM posted here in the forum... even that its not the newes build, it has nothing added/mising; it could be a good start point.
Regards;
thankyou I will give dopod a look tonight then its so anoying that you cannot get hold of the latest builds that some of these people have so we might start without the bugs of previous builds...
if anyone knows where I can get a later build RTM that's not cooked already you would be number 1 on my xmas card list lol.
Dopod ispretty hard to work out also so anyone else help me find latest build wm6 so i can build on it ??

I would suggest you spend a little time in the upgrading section. As far as a stock windows mobile 6 rom, the problem is there aren't any yet. Although I think some upgrades may be coming along in the next few months. The roms here are pieced together from other machines or pulled from unreleased versions. I don't know of a true "stock" hermes wm6 rom at this point. You could get a WM5 rom to practice with which would show you what to expect, and what "comes with" though.
Good luck,
Is it possible to update the OS yet to WM6 ?
Thanks
Be kind I did try a search but not knowing what to look for its not easy

why not ? there are lots of roms out there, check the wiki-pages
Choose your favourite, don't forget to run USPL before flashing and there should be no problem
....and please don't ask which rom is the best one - there are lots of threads about that and imo it's inadequate the say which one is the best.
All the cooks are trying to create great roms - it's up to you which one you like the most....
Yes you can upgrade or degrade
You can always upgrade to WM6 and downgrade to WM5 if you intend to change later. I have done it before many time installed different ROM's.
You only need to run USPL before any new ROM install.
I did this myself just the other day. You can get the official ROM from here for the UK XDA Orbit.
http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/O2UKRuuDownload.aspx?sn=SZ721FX00383&refer=http://www.my-xda.com/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
This one does'nt need USPL since it is the official ROM.

I think I'm going to go this route. That site says I need Activesync 4.5 - however I'm on Vista and using the Sync Centre application - will this do?
Have a look at this thread Anjow
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317589&highlight=vista
I think it has everything you need.
Thanks. Given how complex that looks I think I'll just use my XP machine to do it.
Am I right in thinking that upgrading like this will hard reset the device? That I'll need to reinstall all my programs and reinstate my appointments/contacts etc.? If so, can I create an SPB self-extracting backup on WM5 then run it on WM6 to get my config back?
I know there are lots of ROMs out there but I was just careful and used the standard O2 release:
http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
And yes, it clears out your machine unless you have installed the software on the SD card in which case it just gets confused.
But it is worth it.

Odd, that site won't accept my serial number... I have tried many different combinations of what it could be (swapping 0 for O etc.) but it keeps telling me it isn't valid.
Just use the link I provided, it is the same ROM. Using the other link you have to make sure that you use Internet Explorer, other brwsers don't work.
Will do then, cheers.
slow downloads
could someone please up the official O2 UK WM6 ROM for me please?
i've tried downloading from the aforementioned official websites. it starts out at a fine speed, then gets slower and slower until it eventually times out.
really want to upgrade, so if someone could upload the official rom to megaupload/rapidshare i would be much appreciative.
thanks
Here you go, fortunatly I still had it on my HD from when I upgraded mine.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WOEXBYKO
thanks!
cheers for that much appreciated. however it seemed to download fine this time, but i'll get urs as a back up too!
this is the official ROM right?
thanks again
Yes it is the official ROM, I got it from the link I posted earlier in the thread.
Hi there,
I am looking for a official WM 6.1 for the Trinity. Dos this version exist? And if there is no official WM6.1 for the Trinity what is the best rom to use? I am looking for a good working rom, no light version. If there is a dutch version ik like to have that one but a english version will also do it. Im sorry for the stupid questions but am an little new in this.
Thanks.
Sorry for my bad english
There is no official 6.1 for the Trinity. And there is also no "BEST" ROM....every ROM is different depending on what you want and need. ROMs are made by peoble....so download more than one...flash around and try...thats the only way you will find a ROM that works well for you!

I have readed that there are many problems with the wm6.1 roms like no bluetooth. If i wait al little bit longer the roms become better?
Are there roms who have no problems? is wm6.1 better than wm6?
it is not like there is no blue tooth, in fact, there is bluetooth. all u need is just the patch to fix the problem. before, I also thought that wm6.1 makes my bluetooth connection error. but after using a patch, it works normally now.
Hi all,
It's been a while since I posted here but I'm starting to get bored with WM6 so fancy the shift to WM6.1
I read through the topic http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=435480 as this pointed me in the direction of some vanilla esk builds, however these still have a lot of modification done.
I'm after a ROM which is exactly as it comes out of the WM6.1 box, so none of the HTC gadgetry installed, MS Calculator and Windows Update still available etc. The only thing it needs to have is Office - Doesn't even matter if it's out of date because I can install the update from MS.
Is there such a ROM that anyone knows of?
Thanks
Richard

Judging by the filename, this is the base HTC ROM - Thanks
I've done USPL on my phone and installed the new ROM this morning which worked fine, however this ROM is only WM6 not WM6.1.
Does anyone have a Vanilla build of WM6.1 with no TouchFLO, any extra or anything removed?
