I made this little walk through so that maybe we can get rid of some of the common questions that get asked way too much. This guide will walk you through the process of app unlocking your phone, upgrading the rom, setting up the keyboard and setting up your connections. Beyond that, you are on your own. Please let me know if you have any issues.

Windows Mobile 6.1 - The Step By Step Guide
Fine Print: This guide was written using Rickwyatt's v.24 ROM. For Kavana's install, just click on the ROM file and follow from there.
I know this method to work. I took all the screen shots as I was flashing my phone. I never once got any errors.
as usual...any questions, PM Mikey.
(mods: 1.8mb is too large to attach???)
good work gixxy! i will sticky this..... i will also see if we can put this on the FTP here.
Great job gixxum this will be a great guide for the noobs.
Very clean procedures.
I used these to set up my phone and it was very nice.
Thank you.
this is what i've been looking for, a walkthrough. Thanks a bunch. You're the man!
Great work! keep it up brahh
Pretty nice guide Gixxum... I wish this was around when I did mine! (I went through 2,000 something pages before I decide I was dangerous enough to flash my phone)... This will come in handy when I eventually flash my phone to version 24 of ricky's rom. Keep up the good work!
i made the guide because this process is so easy...but if you are new to it, and do anything out of order, you end back here asking the same questions and getting flat out frustrated.. im hoping that this takes away that issue.
i figured by actually flashing my phone and documenting the whole process, that this is the most accurate way to do it. anyways...good luck guys/gals
Great Job Gixxum!
Great Job - I knew you had a soft side and not all tough as you come across at times!! I believe I have finally gotten my phone working! Now, I hope I get my nerve to add and change some settings. AND yes - I am going to read all the postings before I ask...
Out of curiosity - when my phone boots up and shuts down it has HTC and no mention of S620. Not a big deal, I don't care what it says as long as it works but I saw somewhere on a post that theirs says HTC S620. Just wondering...
I am not subscribed to any internet plan, just rely on wi-fi so I will try to make this work and be happy as a fiddle as us Southerners say!!!!!!!! plus can't say what I'd like to say here.........

You are right!
flashing the dash
When you entered all the connection set ups I have a question I have an unlocked tmobile dash I"m useing an AT&t card do I enter [email protected] info for connection stuff or tmobile cause it was first programed for tmobile?
Other than the keyboard thing is there anyother things that need tweeking like bluetooth or voice ? One more question could I go back and relash with say the rogers version of the rom if something went wrong with this one/ Thanks

you will select whatever carrier you use..in your case you would select att/cingular (whatever they are now).
nothing really needs tweeking...meaning everything should work.
yes you can reflash with an OEM rom and you can find those files in one of the sticky's on this forum
Great Job! Keep up the good work.
I'm going to try and see if i can get the guide to show up here rather than going to a link.

yea i tried all i could and i couldnt get it to post in a good format. plus, the site wont let me link to more than 4 pics per post. i would have left it as a web page on my site, but i dont know how much traffic would be generated. so my last resort was to just make a pdf and host it on my box and hope for not too much traffic. so far so good.
you guys can take this and do what you want with it. just made it to offset my ability to be the biggest prick ever.. i figured i owed the community something. =P

lol you definitely owed the community after being a prick but turns out your actually a nice guy....
good job, though - i remember when i wrote the guide to upgrade from 5 to 6 and most people found that really helpful. see, when you have a guide, it just makes life so much easier than going around hunting for information.
having everything in one place makes it easier not only for noobs but experts too.
I'm working on getting everything on here. Hopefully, everything should work out.
Once again, Great Job ! Thanks for supporting this community.
P.S: by tommorow, I will be deleting posts in this thread including mine that does not have anything to do with the post.
No more thank you posts, only questions. Do you agree? Yes, I would love for everyone to say thanks to you but this way, we can keep it clean. I hope you know where I'm coming from. When I wrote the guide, even though - yes people did ask questions, which was fine but it just kept growing because most users would simply say thanks.
Oh yea, can you do me a favor? If you have all the images in one place..can you send me a folder...maybe a rapidshare link or something because I'm having a hard time getting the images off your pdf file, not really hard - just taking too long.

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.
Ok well I stumbled upon this forum in search of a way to fix my 8525. My problem was that the media player on my phone wont recognize the memory card. I upgraded from the Cingular wireless operating system to the AT&T version. I see that you guys have a WM6 version and hopefully that would solve my problem along with the bugs in WM5.
I had no idea I would be so overwhelmed by technology. I really hope this means Im just out of the loop and not that Im getting old.
I downloaded the file from this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317952
but I dont have a program to decompress it. So I downloaded winrar from download.com and now windows still says it doesnt know what program it is and wont open it.
Can some one please give me a step by step on how to install WM6 for my Cingular 8525. Also, which version should I use? There seems to be many different versions up and they all have their own thread. As long as it will play my mp3s and have support for a 2 or 4gb micro sd
I swear Im really not retarded but I just dont have time to research all this myself.
Thank you so much for your help!

Mrvanx guides is what you want do a quick search and you'll find it.
yeah, we don't have time to SEARCH FOR IT FOR YOU either. Sometimes you have to sacrifice.. lol .. that's funny 'I dont have time .. ' lol .. well .. MAKE time or brick your phone.
if you don't have time to read up, then you shouldnt upgrade your phone. since you definately need to read up and do research, start with the wiki.

Thank you for your help. telling me what to search for was a huge help. I had no idea where to start. Im surprised how unhelpful people on this forum are to new guys trying to figure it out. They all say to search but dont give any direction.
By atleast telling me to search for Mrvanx guides I found them and I got it done. I now have Black Satin on my phone. Im not all that happy with the media player and the phone will randomly freeze up using Black Satin. Is there a better OS to use? I also really dont like that it doesnt have voice dial.
Jim
random freeze could be due to application you've installed has issues with WM6. just by wm6 black satin itself, does your phone freeze too?
The best place for you to start is the places below my signature. The WIKI first, since you've a lot a learning to do. Then Mr. Vanx Upgrade Guides; follow the directions carefully, don't take any shortcuts and you'll be flashing ROMs like an expert in no time. If you follow any of these forums for long you'll also see a great deal of frustration from folks who spend a great deal of time answering new threads on old questions that are already answered in the WIKI and just need to be searched (hence, your previous replies....)
Best wishes
Thank you for your help.
I used Mr Vanx upgrade guide to get Black Satin installed. I will read the Hermes WIKI and Wiktionary next time I have a few hours to kill.
The freezing seems to have stoped after a few soft resets but I am really not happy with the Media manager. My main motivation for doing all this was because I really wanted a stellar media player. On my WM5 version media player it stoped regonizing my memory card and the only way I could play music was to go through file explorer and play them each individually. Even the media player in WM6 wont recognize my card. Its a brand new card. grrrrr
I have gotten countless error messages. It will also just randomly stop playing. You name it!
"The titles associated with this playlist no longer exsist" - a new message I just got
its just so fustrating

Was killing some time here at the hospital. My colleagues were really getting me frustrated, so I thought i'd spend some time here at the forum.....don't know it that was a wise decision........
I will say however, that I spent the first several weeks on this forum just reading threads and the WIKI. I was terrified to post, fearful of a flame. What I did learn during that time of observation and reading is that not too many people do it, and I saw how many of the mods got (and continue to get) frustrated at the lack of willingness of new members to take the info that is here in the forum and help themselves. I've just passed 100 posts but I don't think any of them was a request for help. Don't need much help as long as I can read....
Where are you loading your programs too? The mem card or the device itself? I have Satin and no lock up issues but I think the low memory is what is locking your device up. Also you can check Black sating website and he has a file cab with Cybertron Voice dial and also for Cybertron Voice command.
Jimbo69NY;
One thing for sure is that you will need a good deal of time when it comes to upgrading, flashing, etc. Not just the learning process, but the inevitable bugs and stumbles along the way. Especially at the beginning you need to make sure everything is done right (The Upgrade Guides help here as well as having Hard SpL installed). But this process does take time and if you don't have the time to spend, you're risking making your phone a brick. Once you get going it's a lot of fun. I'm flashing more often now than that homeless guy on the corner!
Enjoy!

same here.. too bad not to many new people do that. and its a shame how the same people come out to be the arrogant and cocky ones when they are reminded to also help themselves first by doing a simple research. heck its just like doing your homework. if you've done a homework in your lifetime i think youd be able to figure out doing a search and their will be less useless time and space in here...
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
Simply a beautiful step-by-step "manual" if you will.
Thanks Gixxum.

Exactly what I was thinking, as I was reading this thread I was thinking to myself that this should be a "sticky" itself for all the newbies...
I second you on the sticky. It can also be posted on the wiki, I mean I went there to learn how to upgrade my phone, more people should.

Welcome to the board. You gotta be careful of that question. You have like 30 chefs on here and you're probably going to get flamed for not researching. I guess the best way to decide which ROM is the best is to decide what you want to use your device for. Then start reading. Or you could cook your own. Before I started cooking, I used JoshKoss, CRC, Mick Smith's. They are all good. Just read my friend.

WHOA WHOA slow down you over-achiever. Take a deep breath. Now, this should be your first read. It has a BUNCH of info. The site has a WIKI also that answers a ton of stuff. Yes, I have a Yahoo ID. It's in my signature, just send an invite.
lol...yes indeed. Your question is almost begging to be flamed. Though you may also get lucky and get away with it Like the above poster said there isn't anything like a specific 'best' ROM for a phone. Its a personal preference. The wiki is an excellent place for you to get started on getting to understand everything you need to know about you phone. Use the search option for any question you have. Your bound to find relevant results on almost any type of search. Happy reading and welcome to the board.

sorry guys,, newbees fault...
after i got the first answer i have found teh WIKI.. no bad intentions here...
i just saw so many ROMS... and i hardly know what they are.. just now trying to find out.. somebody enlighten me pls..
i am reading, reading..
thanks..
Start with CRC's rom.. good, fast, stable
This cant be flamed, BTW!!!! this can be great apreciatted.
I meet many designers and has magic on their hands (and HD's full of tricks on photoshop's projects!) well if you want to start... you can talk with joshkoss, CRC, abuzalsa and many others... cause at this time they are trying to change some icons in .PNG and .ICO full glossy pics maybe 32 x 32 or less like the Notification Icons in upper bar... so talk to him about your skills maybe you can give us new Icons or something... read about the images on the ROMS... what extension, or what kind, sizes, and wheigts...
Hope you can find your work here.

Wait, what is this exactly?
Dude, where the hell have you been? There has always been a working froyo since day one. You are totally ignorant to figure that out just now..
Thanks for the kind words. I Know 2.2 has been here for awhile, but I have never been able to get it running properly till now.
A little harsh Hello? Also your breaking the ToS or whatever they call here with that tone... I would edit your post if I was you. Why your editing, why not reduce your silly signature size at the same time.

For sure but then you know what happens when you feed a troll.
Your comment doesn't even fit in the context of the first post, so what's your point? Your lack of caring in no way outweighs our lack of caring, so I guess we are at an impasse. Conclusion, these are the very same files you will find on the latest linux kernel zImages and modules website

If you don't have anything better to say, don't say anything. Unless you want to turn this into a flaming war on here which I highly doubt it.
btw jz3 you just edited your first post so I guess you finally realized they are more builds out there and not just one.
thanks gona try it out
What is this exactly? Where did you get this system build from? It looks like stinebd's stock build, which i label as "reference" since its untouched.

Don't believe the posts below, this is NOT Reefs build! See thumbnails below.

Hmm, just got back into town and see the bashing continues. Reef, did you actually download and examine my file to come to this conclusion? I will take the high road here since I did appreciate Reef's dedication to this project. Thanks Serren & lordstrife for my back. This is my last post on these forums walking away disgusted.
no no no no no... i dont wanna see this. lets remember our common goals.

Good. We are all disgusted when people steal things and try to claim them as their own.
Maybe if you said where it came from, how you put it together, or highlighted HOW it's different from other builds that are already posted, we would be MUCH more receptive... But from your first post, it just looks like you stole it and tried to pass it off as something you built. That is just shameful, and will NOT be tolerated on this forum.
I didnt see any claim of ownership, unless the post was edited.
A history of the files and such of course would be helpful. And credit given to those who actually created the files is a no-brainer.
But still, I know XDA is the "big leagues", but cant we be a bit nicer? For all we know, this guy could be the next big thing. Just saying...
he edited his first post saying that he has a working froyo he never said it was his but it looked like it since he hasn't given any credit to whomever that build belongs to
in the OP he said it was not reef's build. He's not taking credit, but he's not giving it either, which is probably what bothered most of the people in this thread.
Only the guilty run like cowards IMO.
Roast him !!!
