I have Windows Mobile 6.1 (official), and i was trying to find the fastest rom Possible...
This is My first time actually installing custom ROM, because my first Hermes came preinstalled
Please tell me the fastest ROM and how to install it.
I will be more than happy to send money to the person who helps me.
-Thanks
ok, no need to pay, but you need to start here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
This is how I learned to do it.

Can someone help me please.
Like many I was anxiously waiting for the new ROM for my KJam because of A2DP. As soon as it was on the iMate site I flashed my device only to find out that it wasn't included.
Based on experience I figure it will be months before iMate do a new release, so I'm kinda stuck, or am I?
iMate say that I cannot go backwards after having loaded the new ROM, but I read in the forum that maybe it is possible. (I didn't have the foresight to backup my old ROM to SD though).
What I want to do now, if I can, is load up the test Qtek WWE Rom from the FTP site. The feedback there suggests it works well, so I am willing ot try it, if it means I will get A2DP.
Can anyone advise me how to do that (if I can).
Thanks all.
As far as I know you can reflash your rom with any rom. As long as it is divice compateable.
Im fairly new to this.
So find the one you want on this forum or the wiki and reflash the same way you did the last one.
I have run about 3 differnet ROMs on my UNI up to now. I find the latest imate rom very stable.
I have rolled back to the O2 rom currently as I want to play with the extended rom on the o2 rom and put it into the exetended rom on imate.
Again I forgot to back it up.

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.
Hi everyone,
I have just purchased a vodafone version of htc hermes, the v1605. I have unlocked the phone to be used locally here, and I have upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1. I forgot whose ROM I have downloaded, but the new ROM has no microsoft office, which is one of the main reasons why I bought this phone.
I found another ROM, the TNT 1933 that has the latest microsoft office and a bunch load of other useful programs. But the problem is, I have loaded too many programs and softwares, wasted too much time to customize the phone to my liking, so I don't really wanna flash another ROM again and lose all the settings and data.
So, I was hoping that you can help me to where I can install the program without having to flash a whole new ROM. Thanks a bunch, in advance.

Hello! Everyone,
I am desperately need some help. It's almost six months since I read about flashing custom roms and until now I can't find the courage to do it. For I don't muster enough knowledge (I think) in doing it.
I have an HTC Universal running in wm5. I want to flash it into wm 6.5. Is there some body who can forward me the suitable ROM and help me in the process of upgrading it? I really want to flash it to WM 6.5 so I can install cool looking GUI of e book reader in my device and some more eye candy stuffs.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Have a look on my signature link, you´ll find all you need to upgrade.
Hello, Orb!
Hello! Orb,
It would really help me if you can point out what are the preliminary things I need to do than saying click your signature.
That is really what you did last time I ask about how to upgrade my Unit. Until now It gave me no confidence because I don't know where will I begin. I hope you can re consider helping me out. Thanks!
read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
I can tell you that the only way you´ll get to flash is to read a lot, we all started same as you, first of all loose the fear, if you follow the instructions all will be fine.
Said that you need to read my signature link, try looking in there for:
Instruction Guide For The Htc Universal Rom Upgrading
It was not so hard, isn't´it?
Good luck,
At least tell me the benefits of flashing ROM? Why will I flash my Device from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6?
Thank you so much!
More than benefits it´s an addiction for some of us
And of course you also have benefits, better, newer versions and so on
Nothing else I can´t say if you don´t flash
Good luck!
Hello! Orb,
I hope everything is fine at your end.
Regarding the upgrading/flashing of my device. What are the things that one could get if he/she flashed her device? In other words why would someone wants to upgrade his/her device?
What I mean by this question is, is there any reason why would a dopod 900 user like me would want to upgrade from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6.1? What are the things that I can do if I will upgrade?
Yes I think there would be some nice applications that can only be installed in Windows Mobile 6.1 or Windows Mobile 6.5 however, if I just install a program that would do a make over of my GUI, SPB mobile shell for instance, everything will be like the same even if it has different Versions of Windows Mobile for I am using the same alternative shell for my device as a GUI.
Any insights? or word of wisdom that could enlightened me? Thank you so much!
hi guys....i dont know anything about htc artemis...i mean...if needs some kiind of unlock...or etc....i want to flash a new custom or original rom... wm 6.5 or 7... or android if its possible...but i want greek language....can anyone help me.. pls..?
I need details pls...because as i said i dont know anything...the only experience i have is with the samsung galaxy s 2 that i own... thanks
If I remember correctly, you should at first unlock your Artemis with USPL. Stick to the instructions and nothing bad should happen.
Then choose a ROM from here and install it (there should be instructions how to do this in ROM's thread or in readme.txt).
You can't flash Android or Windows Phone 7 on this device - it's just too weak. Of course, there were some guys who tried to port Android, it booted, yeah, but only few things worked (calling and touchscreen :E, no wifi, gps, audio) and it was very slow.
There are some WinMo 6.5 roms, but I wouldn't recommend them - on my P3300 they were usable, fully working, but kinda slow, so I flashed back to 6.1.
Check some ROMs and choose the one that you think will work the best.
Oh. Remember: before flashing remove SIM and SD card, and after that, do a hard reset.
If you still have any questions or you're unsure about something, ASK. We will not kill you and you will not brick your Artem.
thanks my friend.....ur the best....i ll try it when i ll be in home.... of course i want full fuctions of the phone...gps..wifi and etc....so...i ll try 6.1...or 6.5...or 7.. XD but what about greek language...is there a hope to find something ?
Have a look on the forums, there are multilanguage ROMs here. I'm pretty sure you will find at least one with greek language.
Also you won't find Windows 7 roms, Artemis is too weak for this.
i was thinking about a little overclocking...so that it can run the os
thx man i ll check it.... another question...when i finish the unlocking...with uspl...i must flash the rom immediatle...i mean this process erasing the rom...or i can open it again with my old rom....and then flash a new rom..?
No worries, you don't have to flash new ROM right away. USPL just unlocks your phone, it doesn't delete your old ROM.
But you should make a backup of everything, like contacts etc. because flashing new ROM erases everything.
About greek ROMs - I haven't found any, but I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336252
oooooooooooooooooooo my friend your the best....thats better....cause i can use it in every rom.... XDDD !!!
Well... I wouldn't be so sure about that. It's old and it may be not compatible with WM6/6.5. It's worth trying though.
