Upgrading to WM6. Please Help me

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

Can I Update my Orbit from WM5 to WM6 ?

Is it possible to update the OS yet to WM6 ?
Thanks
Be kind I did try a search but not knowing what to look for its not easy

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.
http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/O2UKRuuDownload.aspx?sn=SZ721FX00383&refer=http://www.my-xda.com/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
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
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317589&highlight=vista
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:
http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
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.

Flash O2 XDA Diamond? To Remove Branded Rom?

Hi guys ... I will probably be getting a O2 XDA Diamond...
The O2 Diamond has a blue branded Touchflow Gui...
Will there be anyway to install the Original HTC software on it so i have the nice Black Menu?

yep you have to install a hardspl, either olipro's [which i think is unreleased] or the one made by the diamond project team.
then you can flash a new rom.
however, check your rom version in settings->system->device information
if it reads 1.34.831.1
it means you have a new spl that prevents you from flashing hardspl until the experts here create a work-around.
i hope this helps
Rory

On a related note, I was considering getting the O2 XDA Diamond but putting the black TouchFLO 3D on it. However, I've now decided to get a normal HTC Touch Diamond, because I'm lazy and I don't want to flash a new ROM for a number of reasons.

ALL Diamonds ship with 1.34.831.1 but "we" (Olipro) is working out a way to flash it....

It was a related comment. I informed others of a decision I made, to avoid this problem - a decision which will save time and effort.
You always have to attack...

I dont think ill be getting the htc modell becaus i would have to pay much more...
Because of the o2 contract that i have in august i can re new the contract an will get a o2 xda for about 100 euro... so i think ill be sticking to this modell..
Please keep this thread up 2 date guys... Good work so far...

Well I´m pretty new to this. Im gonna get a XDA Diamond too within these weeks. But as mentioned the blue TouchFlow theme from O2 is really ugly in my opinion. So maybe someone can explain me how it is possible to change the ROM to get the original black theme from HTC.
What is necessary for that to work, what changes would that bring to my system (all programs lost?) and what dangers come along with that?
I appreciate your answers. Thanks.

c´mon guys, please give me some information on this.

Ok .
First of all you can take one of two options.
1) Hard SPL the device and flash a new ROM that someone has mirrored here.
Look here for Hard SPL ( Read carefully as not all Diamonds can be Hard SPl'd as yet)
HardSPL Here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395640
ROM is here -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=394985
Hard SPL your device as per the Instructions then run the ROM update that you would have downloaded above . Job Done.
2) Wait until someone removes the 3G Interface from a Diamond (HTC Maila) and then apply that cab to replace your blue one.
Hope this helps
If you read the very first thread in this forum then you would have had an idea on what you was asking.

Thank you very much for your answer. So just to get me right. If i need a german ROM, is there a chance, as far as the new ROM version (probably comming with the german xda) is HardSPL useable, to flash another german HTC ROM on to it (if someone is providing it)?
And the last question, do i loose all my installed or preinstalled apps on my device, such as TOMTOM when i flash a new (other) ROM?

If its an O2 ROM then as you have an O2 device you may not need to Hard SPL but not sure on that one.
As long as you Hard SPL the device then you will be able to flash any ROM that turns up on this forum on your device. Please read the post I pointed out to you, as one of the SPL's shipping on the Diamond will not work and you may brick your device
And the last question, do i loose all my installed or preinstalled apps on my device, such as TOMTOM when i flash a new (other) ROM?
When you flash a device it will set it back to a ROM only . EG all the apps etc you have installed will be gone. TomTom if available on the device ROM will be on it as well (Although I thought O2 pefered Copilot) . If not have a look around the Forums and find a suitable TomTom cab for the device.
Again if you spend some time reading some of the threads on here and within other devices you will start to understand more .

Ok guys so hold us up to date on this.... Im getting my O2 phone in 2 weeks and I think I wont like the blue TF3D.

Ok guys... so is there any new information on getting the branded colour touchflow 3d to the orignial black one? Someone here mentioned doing it without any hardspl stuff via a CAB file or something....
ANy news on this?
Thx Busta

Here in germany it's possible to renew your contract through several online shops. When doing so, you can get any device you want. You usually also get a better deal than renewing through O2. Try if this is possible in your country and get a HTC device!
The only advantage of getting an O2 device is, that you get a refurbished device sent to you in case of a waranty return and don't have to send it in for repair. (At least that's my experience with the hermes aka. XDA Trion I had)

Whats the point of getting a HTC Touch Diamond then? The "fun" begins with cooked ROM flashing and since the Touch Diamond seems to be more and more popular, some very nice ROMs will be out in the near future. Can't wait to see where this is going...

Flashing to another ROM with HArdsSPL wipes out all in your RAM and ROM memory. it over writes al registries.
Also TomTom. A back-up is not advisable as it will not run, or cause bigger problems.

Black TouchFlo 3D Cab
for all the guys, they would like to remove the blue ugly O2 TouchFlo 3D skin, without flashing the Diamond! ;-)

I did as i'm a total noob and still managed to install hardspl and the new rom !
Its all here to be found

is Flashing WM 6.5 to hermes irreversible?

Hi
If i flash Windows 6.5 ROM available in this Hermes forum to my hermes (JasJam) and i do not like to keep WM6.5 and want to go back to 6.1ROM.
Is is possible to Flash WM6.1 ROM ?
Can any one answer it clearly about this.Thanks

Yes you can.... If you have Hard SPL V7 then use the SD card method to change rom.
Before you do though, try out Tai_SW's 21109 wm6.1/6.5 hybrid. It doesn't have the titanium today addon or the hexagon app menu. Very quick and no real problems. Pretty lite rom with a large amount of storage space and ram, no games.
Cheers...

Thanks.. i searched but i think the 21109 v10 gloden globe links are no longer there
someone has this in signature and search result no longer provide links
GoldenGlobe V10 by TAI (5.2.21109)
can you post link please for downloading thread?

Not Golden globe, I believe that is similar to a lot of the newer ones. It was just 21109 wm6.5.

Heres the link to the rom I'm using - http://www.4shared.com/file/83529289/5673e8c6/V5_Lite2G.html

can this be done without hardspl..? coz my device already been hardspl before..? do i have to hardspl again before flash it back to 6.1..?
i'm always using sdcard method to flash roms, coz it's lot easier than using activesync, and less brickable (cmiiw)
thank you

If you have hardspl installed, then you never have to install it again. You can flash any hermes roms. Happy Flashing

I dont see why you would want to come back, but if you for some krazy reason decide to come back... yes its possible.​

New to I-Mate.

Hi there. I'm new to I-mate and I have no idea about ROMs, HTC and everything. I was reading through all posts and most links were not working.
Basically, my version of I-mate is 1.30.76 WWE and I want to update it to Windows Mobile 6. Is it possible to do this?
I tried going on the club I-mate website but I think they might be having some technical difficulties. Its not opening.
Can someone please give me step by step instructions as to how I can update my I-mate to a much better version or operating system.

Make sure your ROM unlocked. Remove SD Card. Put Uni into bootloader mode. Run upgrade app you've downloaded. Full instructions on Wiki (which is down at the moment).

I bought the I-mate new and sim free. I tried 3 different sim cards on 3 different netowrks and it worked. How do I make sure my ROM (what is it?) is unlocked? and how do I put I get hold of the upgrade application.
Also, when is the Wiki site re-opening?
Thanks alot.

Welcome to forums
Not any ETA when Wiki will be open but have a look on my signature link, you´ll find a lot stuff to install a new ROM
Good luck,

Thank you guys so much! I managed to update my I-mate to WM6.1 following your signature links. Its quite impressive but I was wondering, is it possible to upgrade my Ram? Its currently 64MB. Could I increase it to 128MB or higher?
And also, are there WM6.5 for 64MB I-mates?

Glad to know it helped
-Have a look on Universal section, there are some places where you can upgrade your RAM.
And yes Tomal v10 is WM6.5 and works on 64Mb Uni´s

Oh never mind. I have found it. Thanks a lot you guys. You are the best! I'll start making my own roms and if I am successful, I will post them on this website. I-mate, Universal...... etc rock!
Shame they went bust.
Have a great day .
