Hi all,
I have a question and I know people will flame but I really don't have enough time to research like I always do before I make my first post on a message board.
In this case though, I just bought a dopod 838 Pro/ Herm 100 and I will be starting a new job and will be using this phone. I have it flashed for cingular with the wm5 rom from this site and it works great!
My question is, I would like to run wm6 on this phone. Like I said I just don't really have much time to search the site and find out more about this. All I need to know is if upgrading to wm6 on this phone can be done yet using it with cingular and if it can, is it worth it?
I did find the page that has all the flashing roms on it for wm6 but I haven't had the time to figure out what each one is.
I hate to be the one to drop the noob question but because of starting my new job I need to flash it soon if I'm going to do it at all and that doesn't leave me with much time to search the boards and really read up on this.
Thanks for your help!
Ben
as you are refusing to take the time to read the f*cking wiki, you should NOT flash your device. you will brick it, then come here crying for help (or come crying for help on some other easily answered question).
until you have the time to RTFW and do the research, just keep the stock rom.

I am reading around as much as I can. I just though I'd ask the quick question for as much help as I can get. thanks for the help...
Well, it seems you have answered your own question. You don't have time to flash your phone. Reading, research and then flashing will result in success, anything else will result in a brick. From your post it appears you know how to navigate this site so I won't provide the basic links. When you have time, do your research and then flash you phone, it will be worth it.
WM6 is absolutely worth it. The latest builds from each chef are in the Wiki. I use a lvsw derivative on a TyTn and an 8525 and I couldn't even imagine going back to WM5...
That being said, be sure to flash the radio shown in my sig as it seems to work the best on Cingular networks.

haha, I guess what I'm trying to ask is if wm6 is buggy or even worth it on the phone I have. If it's worth it then I will dig in and try to know enough by the weekend when I'll have time to sit down and try it.
Hmmmm.
Yes you can do the Cingular thing, a couple of roms have Cingular versions, such as Custels v2.5.
I would install Hard-SPL-V7 before you install anything else since it will protect your phone from a lot of possible problems.
It may also be worth upgrading to Radio rom version 1.38 or 1.40, 1.41. seems to be variable in its effectiveness for different folks.
Is it worth it? Yes, speed and stability are much greater, but only if you are prepared to read up and fix issues as they arrive. These roms dont come with a guarantee, and whilst the main ones I have tried (Custel, LVSW and Black) have been stable for me they have had quirks (bluetooth, wifi, etc) for other people that require you to go and seek answers if you encounter them.
If your Dopod is unstable and crashes regularly on its current rom then its probably worth your while, if you need it for your job and its already stable then I would think carefully about it.
By the way, great video series.

Oh, it is absolutely a worthwhile upgrade. Much better than WM5, and the radio that Slueth mentioned is flawless.
HAHAHA gotta love the name " Ben Dover" hahaha. In my famous saying. " Hey you, your an idiot".
All the cool kids are doing it...
Unless you work 24 hours a day every day and NEVER have any free time, then you DO have time to read-up on this stuff and that bull**** excuse you provided is worthless. You don't have to do this before you start your job. What the hell is that? You can flash it at anytime when you have it, and once you'
ve read enough about what you're doing you'll know it takes less than a hour to get it all flashed and apps re-installed. Christ. Atleast come here with a better excuse than you don't have time. I'm sorry. i don't have time to help you any further.
Can someone close or delete this crap. *sigh*
Every goddamn day the same questions from lazy individuals that want everything handed to them.
He asked a valid question. The simple answer "yes, it's worthwhile" would've sufficed. Give it a break or I start handing out bans. I'm really getting sick of this.

How is that a valid question hiden behind the fact that he used BS about not having time to read? You're getting sick of this; how about all of us that have to see the same threads day in and day out from people too lazy to read for a little? There was a thread with this same question a day ago!
How about a "yes", then lock the thread. Thread answered. He has time to post a thread, but none to read the forum?
He's researching now no doubt. It took me 30 secs to post the answer. Show me another thread with this same question plz....
seriously the aggression is unnecessary. lets all try to keep it to the witty one-liners and simple sarcasm
My answer: yes it is worth it. I use my 8525 for work all the time with wm6. However, the official rom will be out soon, and if you dont want to deal with a potential brick you might wanna hold off for that.

Read the forum like I did! lol
Really, it's not like anyones mad, it's just annoying. No one should rush into flashing, and reading this forum for a few weeks before I did ANYTHING helped keep me from posting threads like this. I saw what others said about the different ROMs. I read the guide and the wiki, then after a long thought over whether or not to attempt my first flash, I did so w/o any problems. i attribute that to taking my time to read. Sometimes the forum needs a little tough-love to get people set on the right path.
It just bothered me that he stated he didn't have time to read the forum because of work. I'm still perplexed over that one. Do they keep the phones at work? If it's not his then he shouldn't flash it anyway. If it is his, then how would "work" interfere with him taking his own personal time to flash his device? Doesn't make sense.

And his question was answered that it is a worthwhile upgrade and that he needed to do his reading first. He thanked the responders for the replies and went to go do the research. Everyone was happy. Why explode after the fact?
Thread closed then. I've got some post research to do on ronfin44.... Hopefully you don't make a living on this forum doing newbie bashing.
edit: 24 hour ban imposed. A quick search will reveal the reason.
well I've just order this phone and wondering where to start.
First how to modify? I was reading something about codes?
Second the what kind of software updates, performance mods.
Third cosmetic stuff.
Any help would be greatly appreciated, possible a list of stuff you guys would do to your touch out of the box.
Read everything you can get your hands on here and the other forums ... then read some more before you do any updates ... then do it really slow ... ad a few things then test ... add a few more ... test some more ... once you figure out what you will use and what you won't ... read some more before you ever consider flashing a rom ... just my two cents
fuzzy
yeah thats what i planned on attempting, but there is sooooo much info on these subjects, and it seems like you just get taken to another tread to another tread.
-so i guess if someone could give me a good first and second step of stuff to do. I think by then can handle it.
examples:
-does the touch come with windows pro. 6.1 straight out of the box or does it need to be upgraded?
-what about the Rev A upgrade I have been reading out?
-Then I was reading somewhere else or possible on a youtube video, a guy adding some software to make it run more efficiently.
so yup just some basic questions if guys could help out, thanks.

touch has 6.0. can be upgraded. for how to: look here: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=17473
there are plenty of 6.1 roms out there both here on xda and over at ppcgeeks.
become a member of ppcgeeks.com if you are not already, that is whats really going to help you. that is also where the youtube thing is. http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=6623&highlight=youtube
rev a upgrade seems to not be coming out for the touch for at least another few months, but ppl will be going crazy enough that when it does, you will know for sure.
feel free to ask more questions
but the best thing you can do is to READ READ READ (and that is what everyone will tell you too lol (well mostly)).
good luck!

Okay sorry such a seemingly simple question has to be asked when there's hundred of threads all about this phone. I've had it for a year and a half now, and I've loved it without any mods (cause I didnt know there were any for free), but now its slooooowwww.
Gets frozen on any MMS, keys stop responding often, free mem is constantly below 1mb, cant delete SMS because as soon as I restart the phone, they're back.
SO, essentially, I see there's a TON of awesome stuff to upgrade too. I really cant believe Ive been so oblivious heh. Where do I start. I want one of these ROMs. One where I can backup all texts, then delete a year and a half worth. One where the interface is obviously different. One where all my shh doesn't constantly freeze If there's a "Start fresh" thread on here, I missed it. I'm hoping I can either be told, or directed to where I can get a step by step on upgrading the phone. Unlocking (if necessary), installing, etc.. I have WM6, nothing upgraded at all. I want all the junk off this phone. If I can get a start on what to do, I'm sure I can go from there with configuring.
I dont want to buy a new PDA since Im having a baby, so any help at this point is going to be awesome. Thanks!
plzzzzzzzzzzzz, if theres a thread im missing that can start my getting 6.1 and how, id love to find it and read for myself
you have some reading and searching to do regarding the backing up of texts and all that stuff...it can be done and the answers are somewhere on this forum. you just need to use search to find it.
as far as starting over...you sound new to this so until you read all the stickies at the top of this forum...id go with option 2
FIRST THINGS FIRST. SINCE APPARENTLY YOU MISSED EVERY POST (ALL THE ONES LABELED STICKY) ON THE FIRST PAGE. READ THIS BEFORE GOING FURTHER SO YOU DONT HURT YOUR PHONE OR YOURSELF.
option 1. - Upgrade the rom to one of the 6.1 versions. you can find them with detailed instructions in the stickies. these roms are flat out better than the windows mobile 5 or 6 that you are most likely running. but please read about them and their installation before attempting the upgrade. also read ALL of the stickies to avoid us ganging up on you and and beating you like a hobo for asking "Why am I getting Error: 270".
option 2. - just hit the clear storage button (start > accesories > clear storage) and it will wipe out anything you have saved or installed to the phone and it will be just like when you took it out of the box. this will get rid of your memory issue.
as far as low memory....do you have a ton of stuff installed? did you save every text over the last year and a half?
edit: i cant belive im doing this...but here are some places to start.
Kavanas 6.1 ROM
Rickwyatts version of Kavanas 6.1 ROM
Here is for when you want to come on here and post "ERROR 270! HELP!!!"
Then when you get past that you will come on here and go "MY KEYBOARD IS ALL MESSED UP". for that you are gonna wanna click here --> Keyboard Fix
Once you get passed there... you will definitely come back to say "hey guys! great rom! but i cant send a text, mms or get to the net! zomg my life suck!!!!" click here when that happens and read what it says in green.
i cant belive i just took away all your fun in searching...you musta caught me on a good night...
without beartard here im getting weak!
by the way..all those links i posted ARE THE FIRST THINGS AT THE TOP OF THIS FORUM. READ ALL THE POSTS THAT SAY "STICKY" NEXT TO THEM

how could you possibly miss every post on the first page of this forum?
between the time of your first post and second post you could have found all those stickies and had the phone upgraded....did you really try hard to find the answers? c'mon you can tell me...im not gonna get mad..i already gave the answers to ya.
btw...im not trying to belittle you..think of it as a hazing. a lot of people have put work into making that Excalibur Wiki and the mods have done a great job of making the most common issues STICKIES. when people come on after joining a day ago and have 2 post to their name after owning the phone for a year and a half....then ask many things, all of which have been answered many many dozens of times... it just annoys me. mods spend time to make the stickies of the important things...and people like you dont even bother looking. you spent 2 hours waiting for someone to guide you...when you could have read everything in that time...anyways..im not bashing...just sayin in the future, do some reading or use the search button that i linked above before making a new post like this and looking (to the normal lurkers) silly. anyways. goodluck

Hi Guys,
Anyone have a link to the latest official HTC Diamond rom?
Cheers

What a really nice guy - your parents must be proud.
The official HTC website cannot be used to upgrade diamonds from other providers, like mine is an 02 Ignito.
I asked a simple question, after searching around here the list of official roms seems to be way out of date.
Is it too hard for anyone to supply a simple friendly answer round here?
Thanks
I've seen a few links in other posts of this forum to the latest version. I think you can find them with Search - don't remember exactly where they were.
Here is all the new roms
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699
I read two site back and find this, u must remember that if you need something and you dont find it in the FIRST page look at the next page. The answer can be there..
just a tip
That being the case, it's not really the *official* version that you want. You want the latest release to update your ignito branded unit. Precise communications make things so much easier, eh?
Simple friendly answers are common, as long as evidence indicates that you searched first. If you don't understand why people are touchy about this, please read any of the notes about posting to forums. They will explain. Briefly, the 1% of people that provide most of the help are exhausted from repeating themselves. They'd like to move on to new things. Hence the search features of forums. Yes, it takes a while to find exactly what you need. We've all been through it. Others are expected to do the same.
This is not a slam towards you, this is a simple, friendly answer. If you find it abrasive, you weren't listening.

Thanks for all your incredibly helpful replies.
In fact what i was looking for was not in the stickies - if you call the thread that was last updated in August what im looking for your very mistaken (but yes that thread was stickied, but it in no way shape or form contains the latest English ROM).
And to DrewVS - your presuming i wanted the 02 branded crap on my phone? No that is not what i asked for therefore that detail wasn't required.
Thanks a lot guys, really helpful freindly community you got here.
You all need to step off your pedestals and realise that not everyone knows what
RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.0 0.25.05_Ship means.
The strings of numbers mean nothing to me, nothings clear around here and when someone asks for a little help, hey its my first post even to pounce and give all this bull****.
It's almost like you losers get off on preaching about the search and your precious out of date stickies.
Well - thanks again for the help and goodbye.

Sorry I have not got an answer for you but your right, its funny how the people who contribute nothing feel they have to make up for it by acting self important.
Personaly I think that simply not replying to your post if it offended them so much would have been more polite but obviosly good manners are not well known here.
I suppose that it gives them some sort of meaning, I would not worry about it though, just log in to download files like I do and let the blow hards do the "big I am" routine and stroke there own ego's.
THe good manners aire FIRSTLY to follow the rules... so hitting the SEARCH button be4 asking whatever question.
And SECONDLY, if he cannot recognize that RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.0 0.25.05_Ship is the ROM he is looking for, how can we all encourage him to perform a ROM upgrade? What if he upgrade and BROCK the Diamond.
THIRD: does he knows he need HARD SPL?

FIRSTLY - I did search but alas, could not find what i looked for so asked a simple, polite question.
SECONDLY - Apologies, i dont know how to speak Robot, if you think that RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.0 0.25.05_Ship is clear version numbering - your simply a fool... oh and i think you meant 'I could BRICK my diamond' not too sure what BROCK means...

Im currently on dutty's latest but dont like it, there are some annoying bugs - so again you assume i dont know that i need HARDSPL? You're wrong again you elitist loser....why not just look at the facts before Assuming things eh?
And..because im in a good mood; i'm gonna add a FOURTHLY - Piss off out of people's threads if you can't contribute anything constructive or helpful, whats the point, it just winds people up.
I realise there are some really hard working people here and a lot of you do deserve the donations, but why do you treat new people, asking general, polite questions like something you've scraped off your boot??? It's disgusting...
Ta Ta
And Thanks Jammy Dodger, i have looked through lots of threads here, and i'm not the only one they've pounced on and likely discouraged from taking part in the community - take care buddy!
The poor guy just isn't really into forums (both reading and posting, in that order ) and ROM upgrading...
What we can only hope for is that he either:
- learns from all of this, starts reading about reading forums, posting in forums and ROM upgrading (including HardSPL/SoftSPL) and succesfully flashes a new ROM, gets the hang of it, starts cooking his own ROMs and contributes to the xda-developer community (maybe even telling some newbies how to use the forum)
or
- he reads all comments, decides he doesn't like us and forgets aboud flashing and even about xda-developers
I definetely prefer the first option!
Come on guys, don't take it too serious!

RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE-ME_1.93.456.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.0 0.25.05_Ship, I hope the following will help:
• RUU_Diamond_HTC: This is an official rom by the manufacture (Hence HTC) for the Diamond aka Ignito amongst other names.
• WWE: Worldwide English.
• ME: Middle East, This is the region part in this case Middle East. In this example, the rom supports WWE and Middle Eastern setting, things like language support, radio type which relates to the network provider specs. From my humble experience, the ME and AR(the later stands for Arabic) specs are the same as European specs.
• 1.93.456.2: (1.93) rom version, latest in this case. (456) region, in this case Middle East. (2), latest patch,, the higher the better.
• Singned_Diamond: The rom will only mount on a Diamond singed with HTC’s own certificate. In other words, the rom will not work on branded Diamonds, like T mobile MDA or O2 XDA, hence the need for hard spl to flash an HTC rom on branded telephone.
• 52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05: Radio version. Most Important factor in reception, GPS and battery life amongs other things.
Hope the above has helped.

@ paul:
first, did you noticed the phrase "developers" in the URL? Perhaps you did expect the wrong community...
But nevertheless we could/should help each other, so try this thread if you didn't found it already:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=471699
I guess you get what you are looking for with this linked upload:
RUU_Diamond_HTC_WWE_2.03.405.2_Radio_Signed_Diamon d_52.51.25.26_1.09.25.23_Ship
When I joined this forum, just like you (OP) I never really got any help from anyone here. I did all the searching I need but end up still needing to ask few questions here and there but no one would help me. Now I learned my lesson... you just need to read through the hundreds of pages of information here. It took me five days to understand on my own how to flash the radio. But its just me. I guess I'm slowww. But NO I'm not. I'm just a newbie and newbies are always told to "SEARCH". Your on your own buddy.
Still, XDA Forum rocks.
My first Tilt 2 got some water damage and no longer has microphone ability. Can anyone cook me up a rom with no phone stuff? A tilt tablet so to speak. It does everything else perfectly even bluetooth works and will handle calls. But as you all can see this streak is my main device. I would like to outfit it with tts and other augmentive communications for my Autistic boy. A mini computer so to speak. It is already running roms as I am no stranger here. Maybe ondra can give this a whirl. My axim is mint but aging in the view of froyo on my Streak. It is not suited for the task of mini pc. A nice Rom with no phone apps and no drivers pointing to the radio.... No radio... What have you. You guys would know better than me.
Any help would be appreciated. Funds are tight. But just ask anyone, I'm not shy with donations.
Thanks for reading.

why not just take the sim card out? everything will still work except the phone and texting. the internet will still work if u have a wifi connection.
OMG!
Why of course What a Simple Solution!....
You obviously miss the entire scope of WHY ROM building exists my friend. With the ability to have a cooked Rom on a smaller footprint within the device. Smaller Roms can free up pagepool memory with the right kitchen and cook. Apps can be installed into ROMS. Heck even tweaked to be more "embedded" into the OS or the GUI etc etc... do I really have to get into all of it with you...? I mean come on, why are you here if you don't know "why" XDA exists?
Anyone can workaround this idea..... I want to streamline the ROM as I have done with the Axim X51v in the past. Heck I'm even putting a new Rom on that Axim AS, I type this.... and my other Fully working Tilt later today....
Where do you think my SIM card was and is, when I started my thread from my STREAK?
Uh, Hello! Thanks for your reply though!
Honestly what's with the attitude? You could have just said that instead of going off on one just because he/she suggested something!
OK you want a ROM without all the phones stuffs to free more ROM/RAM but was there any need for your attitude in your reply??
I mean come on, why are you here...
Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Why are you here if you can't be more civilized against another members reply, whether it is not what you're looking for or not... You could have quite easily said his/hers reply was of no help to you
The perceived attitude comes from the evident lack of Internet Etiquette.... Civilized.... Read on Man You 2 aren't even following simple forum rules and common sense.
To answer your question directly..."You could have just said that instead of going off"
THAT "WAS" STATED in the first post! My Goodness another one!
Had the individual bothered to exercise simple courtesy through reading - they would have read this excerpt.... from the first post. and NOT asked it in his reply.
I wrote... "as you all can see, this streak is my main device"
This indicates that the SIM CARD IS indeed in my streak and not inside the damaged Tilt 2. The existence of the text itself conveys my desire to have this information KNOWN to the reader.
I end with this... Sent from my Dell Streak using XDA App
This also confirms that I am on the STREAK writing the post from the device containing the SIM Card.
Do you get that.... ? They ignore the REASON XDA EXISTS... and the SECTION HEADER ENTITLED MOBILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT. He ignores the CONTENT of the thread and DISCARDS the FACTS of the MATTER within my post.
HE then asks me a question that was and would have been answered for him... already had he exercised simple internet etiquette.
And then look at you... you come on and Say.. WHy didn't you just say that.... You ask me to REPEAT MYSELF!
Well, I did by referencing the first post instead of hand holding and typing it all again!!!! Mind you friend, YOU SKIPPED OVER IT TOO. Now that's 2 of you.. off topic and asking for hand-holding.
So do me the favor and stop ignoring common sense, forum and internet etiquette, the topic and category section titles... and then ask someone to hold your hand and explain it... When it WAS ALREADY EXPLAINED.... Do you see the problem here?
I asked for ROM development help at XDA in Windows Mobile Development...
His question and post would not have existed if he and YOU bothered to note. WHERE we are, Where I posted... and What the Facts of the case were.
Simple... I'm not being rude, nor do I have an attitude... These thing cannot be inferred or gleaned through TEXT. I'm just pointing out the truth. How you handle said truth is not my affair.
Although I appreciate you chiming in... Please if you cannot help me with my REQUEST that I have posted in the appropriate place... I'd like to reserve the commentary to those who wish to help out and talk about COOKING up a STREAMLINED ROM for my AUTISTIC BOY to get more out of the device in it's current state. I do not wish to be called to view every reply that is as out of touch as the two of these are.
If anyone wishes to mull over the particulars of the START of the thread and haggle about it in such a way as depicted in the previous posts that are in reply... please start your own thread and I will link to it. This way everyone else who chooses to "NOT" read the THREAD STARTING POST and UNDERSTAND my request will have a place that they can all be confused together and ignore each other in peace.
I did not post... Hey what can I do with my Tilt 2 in the general forums, now did I?
I'll say one thing:
This is WINDOWS MOBILE SOFTWARE DEVELOPMENT forum yeah?
you are looking to have a ROM for your TILT 2?
Why not post in here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=490
Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development
And since you want a ROM DEVELOPED for you, try posting it in the correct forum?
I don't want to go to your level of Incompetence but it seems I had to....
This is not development, it's a request. Does not belong here. If you were making a ROM and had something to share, then perhaps, though a device forum would be better to use.
