WM6 Installation Success poll

Hello all,
I recently purchased a Cingular 8525 and I'm really considering upgrading the phone's OS to WM6. I've successfully used the unlocker to unlock the SIM and made it SuperCID.
I did a search on this topic but really couldn't find anything that was in one spot....
I'm creating this poll for all those newbies (like myself who want to upgrade).
This poll is for any flavor of WM6....
Cheers to all...

Wow!!!!
It's pretty amazing that no one has bricked their phone while upgrading to WM6. As a newbie, I feel pretty confident upgrading this weekend...
I've printed up the guides and downloaded all the software...
I've decided to use the LVSW version.
Thank you to all for all your input and advice.

There are several threads with people bricking their phones (at least temporarily). Maybe after their experience they are too scared to come back here and answer the poll

That's exactly why I read the wikis and read the threads for 3 weeks before I even THOUGHT about upgrading. And even then I had to ask questions and sound like an idiot and sweat during the whole upgrade.
I originally went with LVSW and then with Black v1.2....I just couldn't resist.

I brick and can unbrick my tytn
Yes i try to upgrade my softbank with a dopod rom, for winmobil6 LVSW, and my phone brick after a 17% but reading all wiki, i can recover so is beautiful mobile 6, i'm happy with black edition 1.1 cyu

I know exactly what you're saying I've been reading the Wiki's and guides non stop in the evenings. My wife hates me at this point because I'm spending more time reading about the upgrade and asking questions than spending "Quality Time" with her
I guess, my fear is (like many of us newbies wanting to upgrade) bricking my $500 Cing 8525 and being out of warranty. I don't know about the rest of the gang here but 1/2 a grand is a lot of duckets
Quick question for you.... may I know why you decided to go from the LVSW flavor to the Black v1.2 flavor? Was the installation process the same?
Just curious....
Thanks

I can upgrade successfully without any major problem.
The only problem is while I am trying to restore the GPRS/MMS Setting, although I am using cab file for this network wizard but only can be done for 3G/GPRS but not for MMS...

Guys i want upgrade to WM6 but when i read the bricked section of ht WM6 upgrade i am holding back, i am unsing Dopod 838 Pro which is Hermes (HTC) and i have the following ROM upgrader (plpease look at the attached Photo). can some one please advice me if they have used this ROM for the upgrade of Hermes???
i will not want my oda to be a brick as its 3 cmonth old and still under warranty...

Hi truffle1234,
You may want to create a new thread asking your question. The intent of this thread is to find out the installation success rate for people who have already tried to upgrade to WM6.

Well...I guess after I successfully flashed LVSW without bricking my (almost) new 8525 I thought what the hell and flashed Black v1.2 on the spur of the moment...my wife says I have impulse control issues. But I'm glad I did. It seems to run smoother, quicker response and better handling of some of my 3rd part apps.
I've done ALOT of trial and error. I have hard reset my phone (of my own volition) 5 times over the past week. I'm a bit OCD and after trying out programs to see how I run it seemed like the memory went back up all the way. So I hard reset to start over again.
I finally have it working the way I like and the Black, from my low-level of experience, seems stable and more functional than the Palm I used t carry.
I have the following installed:
Weather to Go (working construction/realty I need accurate Wx)
BattMemory (I'm anal about checking program memory and its a small plug in)
O2Plus (great for hitting a button and seeing what apps are open)
Palm threated SMS (I hate the native SMS program on the 8525)
MORTGAGECalc (REALTOR, nuff said)
GoogleMaps (REALTOR, nuff said)
Batti (I like the top bar that shows charging status and level no matter what app I'm in
ClearTemp (cleans out settings and temp filed quickly)
VibraSwitch (allows me to switch between vib and sound a la Treo 650)
PTTFix (allows me to remap the PTT button)
I've tried some other apps that did not go so well...SPB, Mobile Shell worked well a few days then slowed everything down...I liked the tabs and the plug in but it kept slowing the system down...and a bunch of others.
I'm not a big media user so I don't need TCMP or any other cool multimedia gadgets so I kept it to what I need. I keep my laptop with me normally so I don't need to watch movies or do any of that stuff. Most of my business work is done on the laptop. I have avvenu (www.avvenu.com) on my desktop so I can pull any file from my desktop from my phone via IE, which is a nice feature.
I soft reset every morning when waking the system up and it runs alot smoother than my T650 did.
I've not missed a single call since getting the 8525, the Push email is alot better than 3rd party apps for Palm, the 3G rocks where I am, and I get better reception. On my T650 I would get 1-2 bars or no service sitting in my house but with the 8525 I get 2-3 3G bars as a rule.

Check out the Hermes Section and look for "Palm SMS" thread or something like that. It goes over the MMS settings quite in depth.

just follow the guide and it should be fine. I am a beginner to this too but do some research and reading and follow the GUIDE! the guide is excellent!

Well everybody, just wanted to give a brief update that I was able to upgrade my Cingular 8525 to WM6 No problems on this end. Would definitely recommend the update to all.

Which flavour did you upgrade to??

Black is back in
I had no problems with either Black 1.1 or 1.2. Upgrades went like a charm. Not waiting for Black 2.0

Used Mr Vanx's guide to upgrade my HERM200 to the LVSW edition (25/3 version). I encountered no problems at all.
Device seems to work fine, though in Surinam we don't have all the advanced mobile phone features as in europe (like gprs etc).
First time upgrade

WM6.1 Alltel Touch

Hello all,
I'm new to this forum but have been playing at similar forums. It started with wanting to try every program I could find and lead to wanting to get WM6.1 on my Touch. I couldn't find one so I made one. It is my first attempt at anything of this magnitude. Anyway, I succeeded in Changing the splash screen and adding a few OEMs (sipChanger, Touchpal and a few others that may or may not stay.) I needed my Touch to stay fairly stock as I work for an Alltel Agent and need to demo my phone to customers. So all the stock software is still in my ROM. I posted it on ppcgeeks and ppcwarez but haven't had much response. I haven't had too many problems (a few quirks when switching programs but nothing major.)
Is there anyone out there that would be interested in this? I want to do some more modifications but if it's only for myself I will probably take my time.
Also I do have some questions, so if you are interested and want me to continue I would probably need some help.
Here is the link: http://rapidshare.com/files/102675408/plckc_signed.rar
I would up it to the ftp but I get more stupid as the day progresses and its already pretty late.

I started work on it tonight

This sounds like just what I've been looking for, but I'm not technical enough to be of much help. I'm downloading it now to give it a try.

help
how do i install wm6.1

Seen your rom on ppcgeeks, flashed it, and was for the most part happy. In the touchflo cube, the pictures and videos bring up a black screen i belive. love the wm6.1 though. I have since flashed back to the newest OEM Alltel, as I too am an Alltel Agent. When I get some time, I will flash back to yours and report on a couple of things that could improve it, as this is the only other Alltel rom i'd use besides the stock one. Also, does the rev a, and gps work well with it? Didn't have it on my device long enough to play around with it that much.

also would like to know about 6.1 for alltel touch

still pretty new to flashing roms and so on but have been doing some reading and getting close to trying something new. also looking for more reading, specifically related to alltel version please post links if you have them. main goal is to unlock gps and have fun learning about things. thanks

Who's running WinMo 6.5?

I've recently upgraded to the standard Vodafone 6.5 rom, and so far I'm rather happy with it...
Found SBP Pocket Plus doesn't work well, but as all I was after was the ability to edit file extensions now use Total Commander/Resco File Explorer.
What I would love to be able to do is alter the short-cut links on the lower scrolling links bar... any ideas?
But, in general, I'm not rushing to change many things as I'm finding it rather good as is.
What are other's thoughts - and ideas on additions to improve it?

I have a Vodafone branded TP2 and I was hoping to upgrade to 6.5 Rom. can you kindly point me in the right direction to do this ( i am quite new to these things and dont wanna ruin my phone)... thanks..
Also if i do not like the 6.5 upgrade can i go back to 6.1 stock rom i am on now?

Download the uopdate here:
http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=384&e=0
The list 'previous version' too, so I guess you can go back...

Been using it for quite some time. Its a good rom. A couple of minor bugs here and there. One that a couple of people have observed is every now and then a new txt will arrive and the device will act like it will never stop vibrating. The last time it happened to me, it actually stopped after a couple of minutes (I wanted to see how long it would take).
As for editing the scrolling links at the bottom...do you mean adding new tabs to TF3D? It is simple to remove them, but adding new ones I'm not so sure about...
Jason

Yep, I did meant TF3D Tabs - I know how to remove from the list, but was hoping there was a reg edit or two to replace/add new ones...
Keep hoping someone will come up with a solution...

Thanks for that! will give it a try...... I hope its not as bastardized as the 6.1.. "vodafonism" if u ask me.......
Please do I have to run Hard SPL before I run this upgrade? been reading the Hard SPL tutorials and it seems I need to have it to flash other ROMS or return to my Vodafone stock rom if i am not happy with the upgrade.

Just got my HTC Tilt 2 and need some help!

Okay so for Christmas I got the HTC Tilt 2 with WM6.5 on the AT&T network. Its a great phone but I want to make it better. Through some google searches and what not I found this site and knew i had to join anyway....
Okay so one think I am desperately looking for is a flash player, mainly so I can watch youtube videos. I tried Adobe Flash Lite but it didnt work and the youtube mobile app didn't work either. So anyway know of any good flash player?
Another thing is this is my first smart phone my last phone (some samsung thing) could barely call and text people so im still learning the ropes with this thing and have therefore never edited anything on my phone. So a basic description of like what exactly a ROM is and Flashing a ROM. Also is a skin for TF3D just a skin or is it like I guess what you call a ROM? Then the Radio I am almost sure when it says "Flash a Radio" its not talking about the FM AM kind is it?
Also I have seen some pretty sweet skins but I dont plan on changing my skin every week so I am looking for just an amazing skin! So if you know any sleek, modern, colorful, simplistic, clean skins a quick link would be great!
Bah! While I am asking all these questions can someone please explain why the HTC Tilt 2 (or any HTC phone for that matter) fall under the "Rhodium" category and what relation does it have to the phone.
Again just trying to familiarize myself with what I am doing before i do this so called "Flashing".
Also any basic info that may help a person like me.
Again thanks in advanced for the help looking forward to being more part of this community!

Congrats on getting the device. You'll either love it or hate it...
Re: Flash player
The new Pocket IE browser supports built in flash. I recall there's another browser that does as well, but I can't remember. Skyfire? Someone else should be able to come up with the name...
Re: definition of ROM and Radio
Suggest you to read about them in the wiki. ROM is your device's firmware. Radio is the software that controls your cellular reception and GPS.
Skin for TF3D does not equal ROM. Essentially it's a theme. Before installing themes, make sure the theme is made for your version of manila. But if it's a cab file, you can simply uninstall to reverse any changes.
Re: the name of your device
The Tilt2 is the same as HTC Touch Pro2. Rhodium is HTC's code name for this family of devices. The "Tilt" name is just AT&T's branding.

So, I got this phone back in September. This was also my first smartphone. I read and read through all the tutorials here on ROMs, radios, flashing, and registry tweaks. The answers to the majority of your questions are in the FAQs/XDA-Wiki.
HTC YouTube App: I think there's a fix available here on XDA. I think itt has something to do with editting the connection settings. You might want to search for that using the search function of the forum.
ROM (flashing): think of it as like upgrading your PC from XP to Vista or Vista to 7.
TF3D (aka Manila or Sense): a UI (user interface) it's sort of a skin on top of Windows Mobile. Since WM is old and appearance hasn't improved that much, HTC implemented this UI to cover up some flaws of WM.
Radio-ROM: No, that's not the FM Radio. It's a software thing that handles the phone capabilities of the phone (the Tilt2 is a PDA/phone).
(Changing) Themes: There's a lot of themes out there to suit our personalities! Go look! Besides, when you get addicted to flashing, you'll get used to changing things and setting things up over and over again!
Rhodium: (I just completed a Chemistry course; I never knew this was an element on the Periodic Table!) HTC code name of the Touch Pro2 and Tilt2.
Feel free to PM me if you need any help. Like I said, it's also my first smartphone, and I would have to say I learned a lot since I first got it (pretty recently). So I would know what you're experiencing right now.

Yes, Skyfire has full flash support and is very fast because everything goes through SkyfireLab servers. However, video playback quality will be horrible (especially YouTube!).
I just remembered, if you go to m.youtube.com in Opera Mobile Browser and you press on a video, the video will play in the HTC Video Player. So, it's not really playing in the browser; it's like you're downloading the video into your Tilt2.

Ah ok cool. Yea I have skyfire I forgot it did flash but the resolution is a bit fuzzy. Pretty sure I will love it just as soon as I figure out what in the world im doing! Since I love customizing and tweaking things which is the main reason I didnt go with an iPhone that and the full QWERTY keyboard.
I guess I shall read the wiki/faq

Welcome to forums
You had a great gift for Xmas!!
I assume you still have the stock ROM, which I personally think it´s crap...
I would recommend to install a cooked ROM from this great site!
Onalmost any cooked ROM you have the youtube app so you can see videos
Have a deep read on the Rhodium Wiki so you start to familiarize with all that you can do
Good luck and don´t forget to vote!

Yea love the phone but yes I still have the Stock ROM (hey I know what I am talking about now!) yes it is crap. Not liking the fact that it constantly stays at 74% RAM.
Oh you just reminded me abotu another question of mine.
How do I get rid of all the freakin trail ware that came pre-loaded on this phone! I think I read in multiple places most good ROMS should get rid of that.

LOL I think every ROM here gets rid of that crapware!

Ok good because it keeps me up at night just knowing that its on my phone >
Ok cool just read the Wiki found a list of ROMs that look great > just 2 possible more questions
1) Ok so it says I should back up my phone completely before flashing which makes sense. But to where? I have my conacts and stuff on Microsoft MyPhone but Im pretty sure my apps and everything else isnt on there. Do i Just copy all the phones files and paste them somewhere on my computer?
2) Just incase something goes horribly wrong is there a Hard Reset on the phone that No matter what the phone will go back to factory reset. Even after flashing?

There is a YouTube app included on the Tilt 2. It is hidden from the Start Menu by default. If you open File Manager and browse to the Windows directory, you will find YouTube there. Once you launch it for the first time, it should also be referenced in the Start Menu, or at least in the "All Programs" list option in the TF3D Programs tab. If not, you can easily COPY the youtube.lnk file from the Windows directory to Windows\Start Meny\Programs and it will show up.
The app is clean and tight, and supports the native controls of the phone (eg, the volume rocker controls volume).

I cant seem to find it I browsed the programs list and there was no YouTube Program unless its called something else.
Anyway as posted abotu still have 2 questions:
1) Ok so it says I should back up my phone completely before flashing which makes sense. But to where? I have my conacts and stuff on Microsoft MyPhone but Im pretty sure my apps and everything else isnt on there. Do i Just copy all the phones files and paste them somewhere on my computer?

1. If you have the .cabs of your apps, save them onto your PC (I have a designated folder for all my cabs, worth over 400MB!). After you flash, you're going to have to re-install them (automatically or manually, depending on if you use Sashimi, Sprite, Seven, or UC_setup [UC is only possible if it is supported by the ROM]).
2. If you flashed, your stock ROM has been overwritten, so if you hard reset, it will flash to the factory defaults that is in the flashed ROM. To go back to stock, you will need to flash back to the stock ROM, which you should find in the link posted in the above post.

Oh ok thanks for all the answers appriciate it I think I might do it this weekend if i get the time.

First off, welcome.
Next before you do ANYTHING read then re-read any and all wiki's and tutorials on the Rhodium. Learn your device inside and out FIRST before attempting to make tweaks or rom changes. If you don't read then re-read, your Christmas present can become a pretty paperweight -aka- bricking your device.
pIE and Skyfire both have Flash capabilities.
The Rhodium IS cpabale of being used as a radio, but you need to install the right cab file...again read.
That being said, a radio usually refers to the part of the phone that receives a signal so you can use it as a phone. Don't mess with THAT radio until you have read and re-read the wiki's and tutorials.
Flashing a rom means to change your operating system to a "cooked" one...one made using a windows mobile base, but specially tweaked by someone here at xda. These cooked roms cannot be flashed without first unlocking your phone. Again READ or you can brick it. Also know that flashing a cooked rom has the potential to void any warranty you have...so back up your stock rom before attempting a rom flash. It is also good to have this back up in the event that you don't like a cooked rom you have installed.
There is a great thread that lists cab files to some really good applications, which will customize your device even more. You can also create your own ringtones, and tweak the device. Again, before any major installations or registry tweaks I strongly urge you to learn all you can first, by reading the wiki's and tutorials.
I have been with xda since my wizard came out a few years ago, and I have seen far too many eager "noobs" brick their devices.
I have only had my rhodium for a month. I am still learning my device. I still have a stock rom because I am not yet comfortable with my knowledge of the Rhodium. The stock rom blows by comparison to the cooked roms, but until I am comfortable with my device, I am happy to remain stock until I learn all I need to.
Once you learn your device, you will need to join Flashers Anonymous...because like most of us here, our phones become really fun toys with pretty much unlimited possiblities...so again, welcome...and read, read, read.

install it from your phone

it won't do it:-( have installed from my storage card and it cam upwith a load of text, i take it, it installed, have paired my phone with the other phone, can send stuff, just can't recieve, the ftp tab or whatever suppose to be there (only going by what other posters elsewhere have put) isn't there. Imust be thick or something
i have paired the devices
so in devices the item is there, in mode i have both check boxes checked, compports(unsure about this, do i need to do anything in there?)
oops i am now experiencing hang ups on the phone,taking ages to do things...Hmmmm
not going to do a reinstall just though.
are there anymore fixes i can try for this, i have saved this one just in case though, xx

make sure 'beam' is on in comm manager and set to receive all in connections.

been having seveve problems since ilast posted tried to reinstall from scratch the copy of 6.1 i have and the screen was going white, so i have updated to 6.5 again, although i hate it, it's a shame there isn't an updated stock file of 6.5 with the look of 6.1 because that would be ace. Love the new connection in 6.5 on/off thing is i am having the same issues with bluetooth with 6.5, it must be my phone??? don't know where to turn now

link won't work for me:-( i have reinstalled 6.1, but it hasn't fixed it. But it maybe useful to know that if you do try a clean install of something, inother words the same on top of them same rom,and it hangs then it maybe worth installing a different one and then going back to the one you want, it worked for me anyway...lol

flash the at&t one before you flash the rom of your choice. It is essential to getting your phone to work well with 6.1 and 6.5 roms and eliminating tons of problems.
also flash using the sd method if possible

flash the at&t one before you flash the rom of your choice. It is essential to getting your phone to work well with 6.1 and 6.5 roms and eliminating tons of problems.
also flash using the sd method if possible

no offence but that rom is awful, it slows my phone, the backgrounds are rubbish in it, the different keypads are good though, but i only wanted the normal one. i don't wish to be scathing about it, but it just is not my taste. The bluetooth still doesn't work, no tab, people keep going on about another tab i should have at the bottom of the bluetooth, can someone clarify this??
i must say though., seeing the WIFI and Bluetooth on the screen is brilliant. The today screen is extremely basic. why isn't the start screen editable?? i'd like messages, clock, file explorer, and a few other things but there you go.
i am now searching for another 6.1 to rival the first one i found or a 6.5 that isn't to overthe top

Actually flashing with the microsd card is the preferred way because it's faster, more reliable and doesn't require you be connected to a PC. I think you should read the wiki a little (not meant to be condescending). If you want nice 6.5 roms that don't slow you down then try the lite versions. You will find them all with links to the at&t base rom.

finally tonight i have found what i have been searching for
the shipped 02 software
i am a complete newbie, and i'm totally wondering why no one pointed me at this when i first came to this forum, it has even replaced that stupid Dark vision HTC splash screen...rubbish!!!
It has fixed my bluetooth issue straight away, i know you like pushng the boundaries on here but christ i have spent 5 days searching for this!!
hopefully any newbies will find this post,it for a XDA Trion or Hermes 100 as i later found out and is the software that rolls out from 02
oh god finally.

Hi Essexgirl. Can you please tell me, where did you find the shipped 02 software? Do you have a link for it and what version of Windows Mobile is it?
