i have lokked everwhere for this so if someone can help with a link or an explaination please help.
I have downloaded the rom. How do i upgrade the rom. Step by step proess please.
Thank you very much in advance.
Step 1: Stop being lazy and do your research.
If you won't find anything, follow the instructions from my Rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=1187445
aarbiser,
Go the the Wiki page for the Trinity:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...me=HTC_Trinity
Read through this thoroughly before upgrading. The key is to understand how you flash back the ROM you currently have, in case of a problem. Back up everything on your Trinity & storage card before doing anything.
Remember, some of these ROMs don't have all the programs your stock ROM came with. For example, if ROM you flash to doesn't have MSN, which you need, then you'll have to install MSN cab separately, after the ROM flash. Any ROM you flash to is likely to have some issues & no Trinitys have been seen flying or making crop circles after the WM6 upgrade...so be careful with your expectations.
If you aren't sure how to upgrade with these ROMs, wait a litle longer (1-2 months), as HTC will eventually have an upgrade for WM6. The beauty of ROMs on this forum is that they contain many improvements, besides the OS upgrade aspect.
Here's a good step by step site. Its for the Hermes but the idea is almost the same.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php
I don't want to be harsh, nor flame anyone, but if you don't understand how to flash a ROM, you really ought to wait till official versions are released, because Beta WM6 (or any other WM version for that matter) ROM's will require some 'expert' registry or system fiddling at some point, which needs a fairly good basic understanding of the systems.
Stoopid noobie question:
cant find any instructions for the hard SPL. On the hermes instructions it only has 2 files but the trinity one has 6 files...
enter bootloader.exe
rapitool.exe
ROMupdateutility.exe
RUU_signed.nbh
RUUGetInfo.exe and
RUUResource.dll
.. i followed this on the hermes guide website but this step here is different to the trinity........
which to use first? do i use them all before installing the new WM6 ROM?
Do i need to install the new radio version (GSM 1.41.00.11)? Trying to make so if i need to get it fixed under warranty i can just flash back the Aussie 3 ROM and they will be none the wiser....
Can anyone help?
How about someone writing a step by step guide for those of us who are yet to do this..... everyone had a first time....
thanks
Scott
ok. i tried to run the ROM update utility but it wouldnt give me the option to change my SPL to 2.1 olipro..... how do i do this?
Cancelled this before i bricked my trinity......
thanks
ok. now i feel really stooopid.....
after doing the above i checked my bootloader and it is now: IPL-0.50 and SPL-1.07.0000
So, i now have hardspl on my trinity?
so to now install the new rom i just double click on the new rom file?
thanks

hi, go to the hermes wm6 section, there are many rom threads, and many are "lite" versions...read the posts for details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=355
thank you for the information...but i dunno wich roms i should use...i dont wanna kill my phone...and is it possible to play pda games on pocket pc? do i need emulator or converter programms???
if your're afraid of "killing" your phone, then spend some time reading the stickies in the hermes section, and also the wiki. all the information you need to safely upgrade your device is readily available
and wth do you mean by pda games?
Hi I have a Kaiser and I can pimp it fine, however looking briefly on the Artmeis section my friend has asked to upgrad hi windows 5 to windows 6.1.
Do I..a) just install the rom in the upgrades section i.e cube version
or..b) is there something I have to install first before doing a rom upgrade.
i.e on the kaiser I had to install Hard-SPL before upgrading, is there something similar that needs to be done..
If the above 2 steps need to be done or just one step can someone please send me a link to those relavent files....I think the title and question put accross is a worthwhile thread for newbies and they can pick it up easily if all the information is replied to in this thread.
Many thanks
A hard-uspl-like program is included in Meschle's and Toms roms. Just execute step1.bat (which is USPL), reset, then step2.bat (which is the actual flasing of the rom).
have u got a link direct to these roms please, it will be like one page read up for newbies with all the info on this thread
Meschle's Touch ROM

Files inside TF3D is called or named, Manila, so you need to know what version of TF3D you are using. Go to your Settings Tab, then About and you can see what version of TF3D you are using.

Hey,
I definitely understand your confusion. I'm absolutely no newcomer to Windows Mobile, but I was pretty baffled when I arrived here after a few years gone.
Let's see if I help you somewhat...

You're the right place now - this forum where your thread here has been moved to, is the place for HTC Touch HD.

You propably use Manila v2.0, which means that themes for Manila v2.1 and v3, are not compatible with your device.
BUT!
First off, you should take a look at giving your phone a new ROM.
The kitchen cooks for TouchHD here on xda, are FABOLOUS! Right now, your Touch HD is slow as hell. Try and swipe the menus. Notice the lags. Enter the application pane. Swipe up and down. See?
The kitchen cooked ROMs in here, replaces the one you have - and gives you up to 20x faster performance (no kidding, and no exhaggeration).
I myself, use Laurentius26 v3.55 (www.laurentius26.net -- you have to become member of his website to download the rom, but it's all free, so don't worry).
Most people like Dutty's ROMs also - they're great too!
No matter what you choose, I promise you'll feel that your Touch HD has transformed into a speed monster. Especially in the menus!
Oh yeah - and as a side dish, you get the newest version of Manila and TouchFlo3D. Personally, I think that the version in the Laurantius26-ROM that I use, is so super-duper, that I don't want to spend time looking for other themes. I have thought of designing/programming a completely new GUI myself, but I gave up, as I don't have Microsoft Visual Studio.
But you have the oppertunity if you patch with a new ROM. I highly recommend you do that first thing.

Your manila can be found by going to settings tab in TF3D and then scrolling down to 'About'
It should state something like TouchFLO 3D 2.1.38658.2. The first 2 numbers i.e. 2.1 in this case state which manila you have
There appears to be no official update from HTC for a Indian rom. You can however update to any coooked rom by using either USPL or HSPL. I'd recommend you follow this guide and read up on the wiki. Available cooked roms can be found in this forum.
EDIT
Any further queries regarding rom upgrade should be posted in this thread or thread of rom you decide to flash to.
Try and keep this thread on themes please.

Then you don't have manila 2.0 or 2.1.
No one can provide you with the information 'which rom is best' as every rom appeals to different people. Best thing you can do is read each rom thread and make your own conclusion. As a pointer, the most widely used roms generally cooked by the following guys:
Duttythroy, Miri, NRGZ28, Laurentius26 & kwbr.
All of the latest roms generally use manila 2.1 and either wm6.1 or wm6.5 (should say on title of each thread)

I want to install this ROM
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=493911
[ROM][WWE][22.07.2009] Miri WM 6.5 23009 :: V 25.0 [ONLINE]
So will you help me how to start.
And after the Upgrade my Phone is Unser Warranty or NOT.
and How can i restore the Orignal ROM after the Upgrade, if i want to do that in future.
For help on flashing the ROM, read the guide in my signature.
For how to restore the stock ROM, read this thread where it says: How to reflash Stock/Shipped SPL - STEP BY STEP - FOR WARRANTY REASONS ONLY!
Also, it will be under warranty IF you restore it before you send it back for warranty purposes. If you send it back with a custom ROM/SPL on it HTC will most likely not warranty it.

I saw your Dummy Post.
Am not a techie person. So help me how to do that. Which MEthod is Easy
It really doesn't get any clearer/easier than that. That is a step-by-step guide. If you can't follow that I would suggest not flashing your device, or get someone to do it for you.
You should also read up on the Wiki. It will help you out a lot too.
Hi there,
I'm new here. I got a HTC TD2 from Vodafone. I've read many threads here but I still don't know what to do to reach my aim. Actually I got WM 6.5 installed. But I want to change some things and modify my smartphone.
My favourite theme is the "Tesalat_Metal V2_Theme".
But I simply don't know how to act to realize that theme on my HTC. Is it possible to install it on WM 6.5? Or have I to install WM 6.1 again?
And what are the following things: ROM Flashmore WM 6.5.3, HTC Sense Leo 2.02 Dusk-More V2.1?
I hope you can understand what I want and I hope that someone here can help me. I just need a kind of tutorial how to modify my phone..
Thx
MarcusAntonius
Firstly, since you got the Touch Diamond 2, you should probably head over to the Touch Diamond 2 forum (aka: Topaz)
secondly, ROMs are basically a different version of the Operating System that you can "flash" onto your phone - although you should note that doing this can void your warranty.
thirdly, those different ROMs that you had mentioned, are basically different ROM programmers - aka: "Chefs" - that modify the base ROM is give different benefits. These benefits may include increased speed, increased eye-candy, increased functionality, decreased "junk" on the phone, and other performance optimizations.
since you are also a newbie here, another suggestion for just general forum use: use the "Search" button =]
Good luck and have fun!
Thank you for the quick answer! But what have I to do to modify my phone into the "Tesalat_Metal V2_Theme"? Do i have to flash the ROM? I know that doing so can void my warranty.. But there must exist a tut or something like that where I can read how to act! I already used the search function but didn't find an answer..
Greetings!
If the theme is a .cab file then just install it and restart your phone, if it's a ROM then you have to flash it! you can use the flashing guide.
grts.
