How can I upgrade to WM6 from WM?

Hello everybody, I am new user of HTC P3600,
I have WM5 and the ROM that i have, I download from the HTC page.
In my phone I have the following versions:
ROM Version: 1.23.405.2
ROM date:03/11/07
Radio Version: 1.38.00.11
Protocol Version: 32.71.7020.12H
ExtROM version: 1.23.405.103
I am reading in your forums, but i dont understand very well, then I am afraid that i can damage my HTC.
I would like to request you your help to can update my HTC without problems, and if is possible where can i find the software/links to upgrade it.
Thanks for your help.
Thesun

if you read and still dont understand then you should not attemp to upgrade.
Try to read the WIKI to see if it helps.

dude, before the flaming begins, here's some advice!
this is the Hermes forum, not the 3600 forum. for upgrading, check this WIKI

Hermes Upgrade Guide
Enjoy...thanks for playing.

Hey Mr Vanx, maybe you should do the 3600/Trinity as well
and when are they gonna make you a mod?

Would be cool.....I guess the mods selection process is something of a mystery....not that im complaining
There is a plan to do a Trinity guide but im wanting to finish a few studies and exams i have in RL before i do any more owkr on the guide.
Possibly a spanish and italian version of the guide is on the cards too.

Hello mrvanx,
thanks for your help, i have read the Hermes Upgrade Guide, and its very useful, i hope that you will post a Trinity Guide, to upgrate it,
Thanks

IPL-1.00 upgrade available now from the latest official WM6 Dopod!

ausdim (Senior Member) has extract the new version IPL-1.00 included in the latest WM6 Dopod ROM.
I've just upgrade my IPL-050 to IPL-1.00. No problem. Works fine.

Why would you update the ipl?
I mean what's the benefit ?

Why not?

And why not?
Older version was 0.50 and newest is 1.00.
That's all.
After upgrade IPL version 1.00, my Trinity work always fine.
Filicloe.

I said it before and I'll say it again, flashing the ipl is a un-needed risk, do not do it unless you need to or have a update-addiction problem. If anything goes wrong on the ipl flash there is NO WAY to recover... Better safe then sorry.

I already flash 3 Trinity: mine and two others. No problem. The upgrade IPL procedure is very fast (about 2 secunds).
Thanks again a lot at the senior member ausdim which extract the latest IPL version.
Dopod has release a new IPL version, and I think there is a reason. Why did they upgrade IPL? Only for the fun? It's not serious.
Now, my Trinity get the latest and official IPL, SPL (by Olipro) and Radio ROM.
Filicloe.

Hi,it's already included in the rom FR 3.1 cooking by Faman.

Yes. But I'm not using the ROM FAMAN 3.1.
See my signature below.
And this upgrade can be useful for those who are already in IPL-0.50 and want to change only the IPL Version (instead of flashing a complete ROM with IPL-SPL-RADIO ROM).
Filicloe.

Ok,I just give this information for 3.1 user's,so they don't need to flash with it if they don't know their IPL version.

what is the difference in versions guys??
why are we updating?

Difference between IPL-0.50 and IPL-1.00?

That's a very good question!
But NOBODY know which is (are) the difference(s) between the IPL-0.50 and IPL-1.0.
We can only be sure that's the newest version.

which is a good reason not to risk your device for no reason..

Exactly why NO ONE should flash this, maybe this ipl blocks the spl from being modified? Maybe you just implemented some other anti-rom changing code they have yet to turn on... Granted this is a extreme example and most likely not the case, but you have a working device, and are running non OEM roms, it's best to leave the ipl at what was working as it's the most dangerous flash possible on our devices.
More than likely the ipl update fixes a few rare scenarios which might need a reset and/or hard reset to fix the device.

Silly question i know... But what is the IPL for? what does it do?

- IPL :
the IPL (Initial Program Loader) with for role of all copying the contents of ROM SPL in RAM.
- SPL:
Once charged in RAM, the SPL (Secondary Program Loader) commonly called bootloader,charge the Radio ROM and OS in memory and to start the sequence of boot.
For the IPL and the SPL it is very strongly not recommended to update these ROM: for a majority of pda there are several versions of the internal components, and the updates are not compatible between different material because the sequences of starting are different. Moreover once the IPL and SPL upgraded, a return behind is not possible!

Dear Shadowmite
OK. Now I understand.
I will flash tomorrow morning the latest official HTC WM5 ROM (1.23.406.2) which restore the original IPL, SPL, RADIO, etc.
After that, I think my Trinity will not be yet SuperCID. No ?
So, are you agree with this procedure:
1- Remake my Trinity SuperCID with the Pof utility v1,
2- Flash SPL 1.30 Olipro
3- Flash Radio ROM 1.46.30.11
4- Update any WM6 ROM.
Please, tell me if this procedure is the best. (I'm sure that a lot of members of XDA-DEVELOPERS will be interested by your response)
Thanks by advance,
Filicloe.

One question concerning the Oficiall-ROM flash.

Sorry for asking, especially when there is high probably an answer somewhere here already... however I've been searching but couldn't find the information I need...
I have an German o2 Diamond with:
ROM 1.37.207.2 GER
Radio: 1.00.25.03
SPL 1.37.0000 (DIAM300)
And I want to install the latest official HTC english version ROM with radio, suitable for the central Europe region. What would you suggest?
RUU_Diamond_HTC_Europe_1.93.401.2_Radio_Signed_Diamond_52.29.25.12_1.00.25.05_Ship?
And my question: is it necessary to install any SPL (HardSPL) primarily in this particular case? (When replacing an oficiall ROM with some other only?)
If yes, what a version of HardSPL should I use then?
Can you help me? Many thanks in advance!
Best regards, Marek.

ROM choice is OK.
Since you are going from GER to WWE I think HardSPL is needed. You could try first without HardSPL of course.
I would recommend the 1.24mfg, see http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621.
If that gives any problems use the one in my signature.

Is there really no one who has/had the same problem/question?
(It seems to me it's a kind of quite fundamental question!)
Or... is it safe just to 'try' to install another oficiall (e.g. WWE in my case) ROM without any HardSPL?
(I guess I am not a freak but rather a careful user ;-)
May I get also some more info about the SPL versions? Is it necessary/recommended to have e.g. the 'same' version of SPL and ROM?
Thanks for any reply!
Marek

Hi
if you having problem with official roms then use onf of the cooked rom which is available here in this site. You don't lock your device when you flashing these roms. If you having problem with wifi and bluetooth then flash a good radio it will help you. First thing you have to do read about roms and radios sticky threads from http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=430 It will give you great ideas what you can do your device.
Good luck

You can not easily relock your device. The lock information is kept in a security zone separate from what roms usually install to. My device is an unlocked DIAM100 and I am using hardspl 1.93 and I have tried just about every rom released here this month .
Once you have hardspl installed, you can install any rom you want. I will tell you now, though, that 90% of the time, one of the cooked roms found in this forum will be better than anything HTC puts out. The HTC official roms are built to a very basic spec according to whatever provider orders them. They often have software you will never use OR they are unoptimized (a result of getting them out before a tight deadline). Cooked roms are usually built on the base of the newest HTC release while they have been customized and optimized.
EDIT:
by the way... just take your time to read the stickies. Sure it may take a few hours but it's better than destroying that $500 phone.

best radio and rom

its first time to me

where helper ?
Kevbodian where are u?

There is no "best" ROM.. It's all up to what you prefer yourself. Everyone here changes ROMs quite often, and how you do it is covered very good in the sticky threads in the ROM-section. Since it's all been written down and explained, we expect newcomers to read up a bit, so we don't clutter the forum with the same explanations over, over and over again.
As you might notice it's quite a mess already. If you already have OliNex HardSPL, you can install any ROM you like. The ROM and Radio in my signature works like a charm for me, but might not for others.
Good luck, we won't spoon feed you on this issue.

my phone is unlock mda compact iv
how can i know
i ve spl or not
from this info

you have Hard SPL already. Hence spl 1.40 OliNex.

thax 4 ur quick replay
then i can install new radio and rom direct any type signed or unsigned without need to install hard spl ?
or what?

As some previously mentioned - you already have HardSPL
AS the Radio ROM you have was purposely designed to unlock your phone - I would suggest updating that too.
the most popular Radio is currently v1.09.25.23
You can find all you need about Radios HERE

mods can you kill this thread please.. come on... the same questions again a and again.. If you dont know what you are doing, just DONT do it.

You are right, with the right radio you can definitely improve your battery life. However, your question of which radio is the best for your country can't be answered by any of us here on the forum. The answer to your question will ultimately come from you because radios are dependent on location. Even if I lived in the same country as you, it still wouldn't help.
Bottom line is to try them and see which you like best based on your observations. If you look at this thread below, the polls will tell you which are the more popular ones. That's where I started from.

Make sure you Hard SPL your device before you flash your device.

I have to read more about that
What other tweaks you recoment for a beginer like to imruve my phone?

Always good to have the basic tweaking tool:
Config. 3.3 Tool
Diamond Tweak is also good. I will let you search for that one.....

no such thing as best for country...
only way to find out whats best for you is to get flashing
other members have pointed you where to go....good luck
