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.

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

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:

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.

I.E. 6.1 download? Please?

Anyone know where I can download the new I.E. 6.1? Just looking for the standalone version for my device with out upgrading the rom.

anyone? Please?

Not sure what you're looking for. Internet Explorer from 6.1???? or the operating system 6.1. No upgrade exsists at this time. You have to flash to a new Rom if its available for your device.

no one can extract the new i.e. 6.1? Because a rom is not out for my device yet.

what device do you have?

actually i have two devices, but only one HTC device. The XV6700(Apache) and the i760 by Samsung.
My buddy has a Mogul, he would install the new rom but he'd worried he may mess something up therefore i.e. 6.1 standalone would be nice.

anyone please?

Okay, I'm still not sure what it is you're looking for, but if its Internet Explorer extracted from WM6.1 Here is one made by SH4YD33.

QTEK 9000 WM6 Upgrade

Hi guys...
I like this forum, you can find so much stuff here, which leads me to my question for you, I have a QTEK 9000 (ripped a new and unused one from the internet) which I would like to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.
I know where to find the ROM's and I read everything about how to upgrade, but, I am not so technical in the ROM know about, and before I mess up my beautiful QTEK.
I need some help with information about a good Windows Mobile 6 ROM i can use to upgrade, there are a lot of them, but I am unable to see which one is good and which is not.
I want to use a clean as possible ROM for that, non I-MATE or HTC stuff on it (if you get my drift), maybe I as to much, like i said before, I found the ROM's but can any one of you guys give me hand which one i can use, which is stable and works fine.
I don't use the QTEK as a phone, only as a mini-netbook with wifi :-D
Thanks to anyone responding to my thread here.
Regards, alexander-wolf

alexander-wolf, by stable I assume you mean that you don't want to see your phone freeze when doing important tasks/answering calls...etc? If this is the case, then I can only suggest to use the last WM5 rom from Swat4 found here : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=409966
Or if you want WM6 rom, try Tomal's v8.2 and v7.7 - I've found them to be the most stable but at times, I had problems with phone freezing when new sms/mms/phone calls coming in.
I've switched back to Swat4's WM5 which has never let me down.

Thnx
@ Final5k
Thank you for your advice, I will give it a go (i allready made a copy of my original WM5 ROM just in case)...
Regards,

[Q] HTC 621 can I rom flash from WM6.0 to WM6.5

I have a HTC s621 running rogers WM6.0,can I use 3VOLUTION SERIES *][WM 6.5.3 STD,to update my phone to WM6.5 or do I first have to up date to WM6.1 using Windows Mobile 6.1 Final - By Kavana.I I'm a newbie at this,thank for any help you can give me,I have got a lot of info and apps from this form already.Great to have people who take time to help and teach each other,thanks,Les.

You can go staight into 3VO Rom. What it does is it "flashes" what is on there, completely erasing the bios and os giving a brand new Rom. 3VO is an excellent choice. One of my top 3.

Hi there, this is something that you can find in the sticky and has been asked many times. So, there was no need to open a new thread since it clutters the forum.
On that note, thread closed,

Need Help Ugrading from wm5 to wm6.5

Hello! Everyone,
I am desperately need some help. It's almost six months since I read about flashing custom roms and until now I can't find the courage to do it. For I don't muster enough knowledge (I think) in doing it.
I have an HTC Universal running in wm5. I want to flash it into wm 6.5. Is there some body who can forward me the suitable ROM and help me in the process of upgrading it? I really want to flash it to WM 6.5 so I can install cool looking GUI of e book reader in my device and some more eye candy stuffs.
Thanks in advance!

Hi,
Have a look on my signature link, you´ll find all you need to upgrade.

Hello, Orb!
Hello! Orb,
It would really help me if you can point out what are the preliminary things I need to do than saying click your signature.
That is really what you did last time I ask about how to upgrade my Unit. Until now It gave me no confidence because I don't know where will I begin. I hope you can re consider helping me out. Thanks!

read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
I can tell you that the only way you´ll get to flash is to read a lot, we all started same as you, first of all loose the fear, if you follow the instructions all will be fine.
Said that you need to read my signature link, try looking in there for:
Instruction Guide For The Htc Universal Rom Upgrading
It was not so hard, isn't´it?
Good luck,

At least tell me the benefits of flashing ROM? Why will I flash my Device from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6?
Thank you so much!

More than benefits it´s an addiction for some of us
And of course you also have benefits, better, newer versions and so on
Nothing else I can´t say if you don´t flash
Good luck!

Hello! Orb,
I hope everything is fine at your end.
Regarding the upgrading/flashing of my device. What are the things that one could get if he/she flashed her device? In other words why would someone wants to upgrade his/her device?
What I mean by this question is, is there any reason why would a dopod 900 user like me would want to upgrade from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6.1? What are the things that I can do if I will upgrade?
Yes I think there would be some nice applications that can only be installed in Windows Mobile 6.1 or Windows Mobile 6.5 however, if I just install a program that would do a make over of my GUI, SPB mobile shell for instance, everything will be like the same even if it has different Versions of Windows Mobile for I am using the same alternative shell for my device as a GUI.
Any insights? or word of wisdom that could enlightened me? Thank you so much!
