HI,
im still new to xda, and i want to upgrade my htc desperatly to the w.6.5 version. but im really new to this, so if there is anyone that can help a bigginer like me?
thanks!! appreciate it heaps
Basicly you flash the same as you would for a 6.1 rom, Read the how to flash sticky posts, don't forget to hard SPL first.
do you think its worth changing to w. 6.5? where can i find some the 6.5 rom or a guide on how to flash or Hard SPL. ive found some guides, but theyre really hard to follow. do you know any that are easier to follow?
thanks
Upgrading...

Read and re-read this - if you're still unsure about flashing after studying this sticky, then DON'T do it! This is the easiest and most detailed help on flashing there is.
As for WM6.5 - personally, I wouldn't bother yet. There are way too many bugs for my liking. Some are better than others admittedly, but still too buggy for me to put with. If you don't mind a few things not working or looking as they should, then give 6.5 a go. I'm going to wait for a port from an official HTC 6.5 release... we won't have to wait long
thanks alot. appreciate all the help guys
this is a great forum

Hello People,
I wonder if someone could give a small tutorial how to start cooking your rom, maybe something as easy as putting a NLD wm into a 1.93 stock rom. I have been searching and downloading several kitchens, but nowhere is told how to start or what to need.
I really would like an example or walktrough the basics. I think I want to cook my own roms too, and I know I can bite me into these things ... never a cook too much is there?
I would be interested too. I have seen Kaiser kitchen but I never seen how to remove application from a room or add new one.

hi i am new to this scene although i have been hacking devices for several years so am not a complete N00b. I just want to know if i have got the right idea here:
I follow this guide: http://modmydiamond.info/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=12&Itemid=26
With this hardspl (v1.24): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408621
This Radio Rom (v1.00.25.05): http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=407956
And this rom: http://www.duttythroy.net/download-area.html?task=view.download&cid=149
Is this right? Will this upgrade run smoothly with these options? Also i have not yet recieved my fone, will do in the next few days, it is an Upgrade from Orange UK. Will all this run smoothly on my fone? Or does it depend upon product versions etc of the software/hardware on my fone? Its just that i have been reading around all the info and have noticed that sometimes it does matter.
Thanks for any help,
James
once u hard-spl u can flash any radio and rom. not necessarily just those two.
make sure its hard-spl DEVELOPER edition.not SIGNED edition
Yep i know that but i think those are the recommended radio and hardspl for the dutty rom i have chosen.
Thanks.

If you just want to flash Dutty's ROM, those choices are OK and will work.
I tested/used a lot of Dutty's ROM's and I can say that they are solid and decent ROM's but not the fastest (fast enough though )
Read the WIKI
There's alot of Topics on radio rom's posted in the wiki
Peace
Mike

Hi, i dont mean to sound stupid and annoy you but can a few of you tell me which are the best roms for performance/features? I have read the wikis and guides, however there are too many different roms, and the guides do not fully explain the benefits of each one.
Thanks, i was gonna go with dutty's as i thought it was the most popular?

Hi
in order to explore wm 6.5, i want to flash the EnergyROM Series (Standard) on my touch diamond. i read all the manuals and feel quite prepared. but theres just one question i can't figure out:
is a hardspl needed for EVERY device to be flashed, even the ones with original htc roms and no branding, or do just provider branded roms need a hardspl to be installed?
thanks for your answers
Hello
Yes you need to HARD-SPL all devices to make the ROM think that they are super CID.
Good luck, although sounds like your doing the right thing read, read then read some more. Best to be safe.
Cheers
The moment you want to flash custom roms you'll need HardSPL. Without it you can only flash original HTC stock roms. Branded or non-branded, doesn't matter.
thanks a lot for the quick replies! you helped me a lot.

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!
