o2 xda 2s with windows 2003se - can i change to wm5?

pardon me im a noob around
but pls can any1 help me here? ...i have an o2 xda2s and i want to change it to wm5 ...
i dunno how to do it with no knowledge of any scripting language and i dont seriously get the whole concept of ROM....EXT ROM...and MKROM for the fact.....
if any1 is able to help me out ......help is greatly appreciated...
i would like to know how to that exactly....and pls try to help me get the concept of ROM

Your best bet is to search this forum thats how we all learn how to do it. The tools to unlock your BA can be found on the ftp site and all information you require are their on the wiki link at top of the page here.

Hi Dreadlord,
In a nutshell, yes, it is possible to update your unit.
My personal recommendation to you is that you stay with what you have. Presently, there are few advantages that you, as an end user, would gain from an upgrade to WM5. Perhaps, it's just an appearance issue..?
To Upgrade a BA to WM5 requires some end user knowledge of the day to day running of the device and if you're having problems understanding the daily terms within posts here then you might end up damaging your BA.
Don't forget that these ROMS are not official releases. They are patched reverse engineered Operating Systems that still, at this stage, feature bugs & code issues. Granted they are getting better with each release and I strongly believe that one day they'll be a "plug & Play" version that people can just load and use..
This is why I presently am running the latest 1.42 WWE ROM for WM2003SE.. Yes, I have updated my BA to WM5 several times but I have always downgraded again to WM2003SE as so far as I rely on my BA too much for it to use [compared to WM2003SE] an unstable system.
Another thing is that the majority of users on this forum have all had to read the wiki on here and learn. There's very few people who are lucky enough to have this kind of information in their brains already. (Click the link in my Signature to start reading Wiki)
You might not get a good response from others on here if you reply in bold (or caps) stating that you don't understand things - It's not their fault you don't know..
Hope this helps..
Cheers!

Blah Blah.. etc etc.. Hehe

Ok confused now

EDIT
can i install WM6 then just update with the damn O2 rom from their site??? or is it not compatable???

There's nothing stopping you from flashing any ROM you like onto your device, and putting the O2 GPRS/MMS settings onto it.
There are enough links on the site with the O2 settings cab file if you search.
You will not be getting the O2 Active either, but again, this is something you can search for yourself and add to it.
I suggest you read the wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/ and this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=269118 (which really should be a sticky hint hint mods) before you do anything, as it sounds like you need to understand the difference between a ROM, and an Extended ROM.

I cannot beleive it was that easy,, i just needed to extract 2 files.... stoopid me lol.. TY Very much Alan

Whoops spoke too soon...... the dreaded thing has happened

Hi there help needed!!!!! ( Newbie alert = first post ) Lol

Hi there ,
Just wanted to say great forum you got here, and would like to say already thanks for all the great stuff you got on here for my hermes.
already i am running wm6 (scnapps rom), with hard spl installed and radio 1.50.
Right here goes in at the deep end !!!!!!
has one one got touch flo working on there hermes as i really like the interface and the fact that you can control the main part of the device with the thumb.
If this is a double post or possibly a re run of another posting ..... sorry in advance.
And also thanks in advance
Alex Slane

Hi and sorry to bump up a rubbish newb post lol but would love to find a rom that Preferably has the touch flo installed.
Alex Slane

Hi Alex, and welcome to the forum. You may regret not searching round before you waded in with a new thread - don't be surprised if you get some flaming over it.
The TouchFlo has been discussed and worked on many times in this forum. At the moment, it is possible to get it "working", but you need to active one application (BioFlo) and then open TouchFlo with a hardware button - hence why it's been termed "ButtonFlo" for the Hermes.
Keep an eye on Dutty's threads about his ROMs he's working on at the moment - one of them mentions having ButtonFlo inside.
Short version, don't think you'll ever see it working fully on a Hermes, but you can get close to it with some work. Have a search round the Hermes threads for "TouchFLO" and "ButtonFLO" and get reading!
Enjoy.

Thanks for the post back stu ,
yeah i sure will get reading , i have checked a fair bit to be honest mate , i have been looking back and forth on the site for sometime , i made the post because i was seeming to see some conflicting info on here about the touch flo way of working the phone and just wanted some advice , sorry for any hassle mate and thanks for the heads up.
All the best

When I bought my first PPC, I didn't have a clue on how to mod it, or do any of the cool stuff I saw other people were doing. I read the forums for a good week, and tried to find out all the info I could. Afterwards, I tried a few mods and they worked! There were a couple of times where I couldn't figure something out, THATS when I posted and asked questions that were answered by forum members. You have to do some reading, research & experimentation about things first, you can't just post a general question and expect everyone to spoon-feed you the information. Read a few threads dealing with how to do what you want to do, use the search, and you will see someone has asked the same questions you have now. Download the .CAB files you need, and happy modding!

thanks mate
all i want to know is if i am using the right software i download something name the diamondtf3d i can chage the skin but the skin comes like half way down the screen i guess that because it was design for the diamond which has a small screen so i want to know if there is a version for the blackstone

Depends on the theme. Some themes can be obtained by just replacing manilla files in your Windows folder. Search for instructions in the appropriate theme thread.
Regards,
Carty..

thanks mate
well right now i am using a program name diamond tf3d config and the themes are coming like half way in the screen can some one help me plz

can the diamond TF3D config used to edit/add themes for HTC HD / blackstone? will there be any problem?

Using a Diamond tool on your Blackstone/HD could cause trouble because the screen resolution and size are way different (Blackstone 480x800, Diamond 640x480)

wm6.1 or 6.5 on gsmart ms800

Hi to all!
Is there someone who have an idea on how to upgrade a gsmart ms800 to wm6.1 or better on 6.5? i took a look at many forums and many sites but i've never cooked a rom and i don't know how to do it, i've downloaded the official roms but they all are for wm6.0...
Thank you in advance for any reply

No replies?? Can somebody help me?

Uuuuuuuup!

Uppetee!!!

Please create a new Category for Gigabyte Gsmart Phones!!!
Dear All,
I am also one of those persons who have Gigabyte Gsmart Phone which run
WM6 Professional , i reques u ppl to add more content to Gigabyte phones
also , as the are also WM6 phones only....
May be a new Category can be created for these phones....
Hope the Admin takes note of this!!!!

Hi hari_mkb
i'm so proud for receiving this post from you, because i've never receive any answer from this forum and i was thinking no one mind about gsmart users.. but i know we have a minor brand and so there are not so many "gsmarters". I think the only way is to ask to the other boys with gsmart to lift their voices only with a post in this (or other) thread and then i think we could do something good.
Have a good day

Me too
Yep, me too have a gsmart winmo phone - a MW700 and i'd love to put windows mobile 6.5 on it.
It's very hit and miss on this forum as to whether anyone will even bother to reply to you. I guess people are busy with other things on other phones.

I think we need a developer who buy a gsmart.. i tried to cook my own ms800 rom using the instructions on mybestpda but i had many problems. I so hope someone better than me can work on gsmart roms. I think i've lost time enought, so i prefer to wait.. bye bye

hi all
u can find more info about wm6.1 or 6.5 on ms800,mw700 here http://www.mybestpda.com/forum/mw700-ms800/
but one problem...site on russian language
good luck )

It's really from mybestpda i've start my adventure on cooking a rom for ms800.. because it's really a good site, but there is no roms for ms800.
There is a thread on cooking roms and i tried loosing so much time...
There is another site www.gigabyteclub.ru that is really good and is in Russian,but there there are only russian roms and i don't understand how to use the kitchen (in russian), google translator it's not enought for me....

Gsmart Problem
Hello guys, i have big problem, i try to flash my Gsmart MS800 with modified rom and now i can't start the phone, only see light display. Sombody know the key combination for bootloader menu? I want to reinstal the original one.
Hope smb will help me, otherwise i have to throw ot of the window this phone
If somebody have more info/help post me personal msg or find me in Skype: chiunomoreno_

Hi Chinomoreno,
i had a problem like you some months ago, and the main board of the phone was burned.. i hope it is not the same for you, mine was an original rom so i could use warranty.
I think it's better for you to go on www.mybestpda.com and search in the forum..
Hi and have a good luck
