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
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.

Orange SPV M3100 rom upgrade to WM6/6.1

my cousin has 2 orange spv m3100 and was thinking about upgrading them to windows mobile 6 or 6.1 depending on rom's available
is this easily done?
and would it be best to unlock the phone so it can go on all networks before the rom update or after it?
all advice would be great thank you

this link is for wm5. orange never released a update for wm6 or 6.1. Id suggest super cid unlocking the phone and flashing from there. if you want a stock rom id idvise one of the HTC releases but if you want somthing fancy id go for the custom 6.5 builds. the os is still in beta but its not far off release now. its by far the best mobile os in my opinion. just be aware that theres a time limit on them so youll need to keep it up to date with the latest builds. older ones expire at the end of this month. the newest is 21728

Thanks for that FCW
if i flash it onto a 6.5 can i flash a 6/6.1 when my beta finishes?
ive saw some of the screens for 6.5 and it looks well nice, the whole layout seems to have changed

yes you can upgrade/downgrade as you please as long as you have hardspl and supercid unlock first.
Just in case you dont have them
SuperCid (this installs hardspl as well and sim and cid unlocking the device) http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=293665
Just make sure you read the instructions before you run the tool. you dont want to do this wrong as it includes a radio flash.

[i780]phone rom PBHHJ4 needed!

hello =)
i need phone part for i780
version should be PBHHJ4
or a full german with phone pda and boot!
thanks!
please help me its urgent
there's a rom dump matching my requirements but i dont know how to make phone part out of it!
link is: full pbhhj4

Here you go:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497248&highlight=i780+original+german

Hi,
I tried to flash the whole Rom from the post you mentioned (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=497248&highlight=i780+original+german) but it contains only the PDA Part not the phone part. The problem is, that I need the original german PHONE PART for samsung sgh i780 (because I damaged the old one).
The only phone part I found was DXHH1. I flashed it with mirage and it works but not without problems concerning the internet connection (it breaks sometimes - I did not have these problems with the former original).
I found a complete image of an original german rom in another thread including the phone and eeprom part, but I got an error everytime I tried to flash. (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3454975&postcount=161).
Is there any possibility to get the original phone part from the german Rom?
Thank you in advance!!!

I have the PBHHJ4 phone, not modified.
Hi, still interested of getting the ROM from PBHHJ4 phone?
I have exactly the PBHHJ4 i780 German phone and I have not nessed with it yet. It has Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional, CE OS 5.2.20270.
If you explain how to do it - I will do it.
I want to back it up and then try to flash one of Heineken builds.
Before I had another i780, it was XDHD1, unfortunatelly it was stolen. But I flashed it with one of the builds, just took the first I like and flashed it straightforward and it worked. Still have that file I guess: i780-21812.bin
Anyway, what I am reading about here that flashing those phones with just any build is not very safe, its possible to brick it, and many of them have to be flashed with basic english version and then flashed to latest.
What I am on about - I have this german phone now, the PBHHJ4. What is the procedure to flash this phone with 6.5 English version build? Can I just flash anything or should I "downgrade" it to some OEM english release and then flash it?
Please help me to understand this as I can not dig through so many pages to find the right way to do it.
And, what is actually the most stable build which is fresh enough?
Thanks!

yes that would be verry good if you could do full rom image containing radio phone and loader like official dxib1 for german phones!
if you could dump all or at least radio part this would be great(as official PBHHJ4 pdapart is already up @ xda!)

NEED Windows 6.1 rom for my HTC touch pro 2

HI All
on 20th july 2010, i bought new HTC touch pro 2. Being an outdated one, this model is one of mine favorites. After one day of purchase i tried to update my phone to windows 6.5 on HTC website but i was not able to do so because this the the phone was intended to be sold in netherland and not in Singapore. This statement was told to me by HTC customer care, then i called the seller and asked that what should i do. They didnt admit that they cheated on me and they advice me to download windows 6.5 from Netherlands website and i followed their instructions. When the update was finished the language of the phone was turned out to be in Dutch. I asked for help from the seller but they told to pay them exta sum to 50 dollars to restore or to install windows 6.1. I even contacted HTC customer care but they didnt help me out.
So guys, if anyone of you have orginal window 6.1 or orignal window 6.5 then please give the link to download the same. I am in a fix right now. I made a bad purchase and right now my money is on stake.
Please help me
Right now i am in Singapore.

If you want to go down the custom rom route, you should use hardspl to unlock your phone (instructions can be found in this rom development section) and then flash any rom you want. There's quite a few choices so you might want to try a few.

Yes, go to flashing your first GSM Rhodium topic and then choose a ROM.
If you're outdated (like me... ) I recommend a stock 6.1 rom, which I just love. I donno if you're staying in Singapur or not, then choose an Asia ROM.

Right now, it sounds like you're limited to Dutch ROMs, since that's where your phone was designed to be used. But as others have said, if you install HardSPL on your phone (see the sticky posting about it), then you will be able to choose from *any* official ROMs (either from HTC or from carriers) for the GSM Touch Pro 2, or any of the custom ROMs on this site.
So put on HardSPL, then it should be easy to get a ROM to meet your needs.

Not sure about language but I highly recommend McCune's Cosmik Debris Rom. FASTEST WM6.1 ROM and flawless. It doesn't come with any today plugins except the basic ones so you can install whatever you want (I installed sense 2.1 and it's fast as hell).
Once you try this one, you won't care to try any other ones . Just be sure to download the Connection Setup from somewhere (on the 2nd or 3rd post of the thread).

I think that hard spl is installed in the phone, because when i bought this phone it was loaded with windows 6.1 (english) after i update it to windows 6.5, i stucked up with dutch language.
what you think?

I doubt it, it's probably just that you loaded a ROM that was compatible with your specific phone - i.e. if it's a Dutch TP2, then you'll be able to load Dutch official ROMs (but nothing else).
To check, you can put your phone into the bootloader and it will tell you the SPL version (don't worry, this won't harm your phone). Hold down the "Volume Down" button on the side, and press the reset button (and keep holding Volume Down). The phone will come up with a tri-coloured screen and a load of text. In there will be the SPL version, it will be something like 0.79, or 0.84, etc.

HARD-Spl
HARD SPLing your phone will void your guarantee, but you shouldn't worry about it.
Go to the noob session, HARD SPL is an exe, will "open" your phone in 2-3 minutes.
Then, you can flash any rom.
I do not know, if you need an asia rom just because you stay in asia.
Maybe not.
I use 6.1 stock rom, also called shipped rom.
Or just choose any.

I have this if this (6.1)is what you are looking for.
RUU_Rhodium_HTC_Europe_1.19.401.0_Radio_Rhodium_3.44.25.27_Signed_Ship
I will have to zip and upload it.

Moved as not ROM Development.

No need to do that. All original ROMs can be downloaded from here (just not the carrier specific ones).

Samsung SGH-i780 MSHE2 6.1 upgrade

Hi All
I'm in the UK and have just purchased a second hand i780 with the version number MSHE2. I want to upgrade to Win Mob 6.1 via the official Samsung site but it says that my version is not correct even though it is! Anyone have any ideas.
Many thanks

In official upgrade choise Malaysia. Vesion DXIB1.

Thanks for the reply.
Won't it **** my phone up though if I put a non-english version on it or are they all the same?
Thanks

Man I'm confused.
I don't know what to do. I've spent the last hour or so reading countless threads about various upgrades (6.1 or 6.5) I could consider for my UK i780. Trouble is, I don't get the whole version code thing. I have MSHE2 but that doesn't seem to be mentioned anywhere even on the Samsung site.
What I want is a UK specific rom which will work with O2 and have all the right region settings etc. I don't mind if it's 6.1 or 6.5
Sorry to be thick but I just don't get it. I've flashed various other phones in the past but all the code numbers on this phone have got me beat at the moment.
Thanks again

If you cant consider dont do.
But any UK's i780 is still 780, may be is locked by provider,you can unlock it anytime by special functions already built in phone. just read on xda howto.
Welcome to xda.
PS: dxib1 is fully English 6.1, supports world wide cell operators.
You should consider one thing, you do this on own risk.

Thanks. I'm aware of the risks...just need to understand the version codes etc.
So if I install the official samsung 6.1 dxib1 it will feel like an english phone and work with o2.
cheers

Actually it can give you version error (not match) before starting flashing.
If its so you can download it via update utility http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=8154552&postcount=1117

Heineken
Ok, I think I'm going to give your 6.5.x version a go. That will work won't it...will be english etc?
Not sure whether I need the 128dpi or 96dpi version - is that just the size of the font...which is bigger?

feel fry to try any and decide which is better for you. 96 dpi - smaller but looks like QVGA is square, 128 dpi - is more closer to VGA, but is quite bigger.
But flash this update I gave you link before custom rom's flashing.

I'm still struggling!
On the Samsung website when I select Malaysia, Vista and then dxib1 I just get taken to another website with no download.
I read somewhere else on these forums that UK, Vista, bvhf1 might work for my phone. Do you know anything about that release?
Thanks again
