upgrading to wm 6.5 - Touch CDMA Windows Mobile ROM Development

Hey there,
I primarally use this forum for my g1, but I noticed this section, as my girlfriend has this phone. I was wondering how I could upgrade her phone to wm 6.5 via the computer because she does not have internet on her phone. I did some really quick researching once, aand I think I saw something that said all her contacts would be erased. Can anyone shed some light on this?
Thanks in advance

If you flash the phone EVERYTHING gets erased ... but if she syncs with her outlook or even via google sync she can save her contacts there and then have her phone flashed and then synch them back to her phone
You can also use an app called PIM Backup that will backup to a file her contacts, text, emails, etc and then when you flash the phone run PIM Backup again and point to the file it created ON THE STORAGE CARD (hint hint LOL) and then run the restore feature and they will be back
If you are interested in running a 6.5ROM on the phone, use this ONE but read THIS THREAD first especially the how-to on the 2nd post first though

Transfer contacts/calender from WM6 to PocketPC 2002m, help!

I need some help here, I have a Qtek 9100/Wizard which is basically dead, it hangs all the time, the screen freezes and does a weird fadeout with some various colors. This started happening about a month after I unlocked it and tried WM6.1 Slim Edition, I am running some other ROM that my GF installed, same problem. Is the phone totally borked or is it worth to try to fix it?
Anyway, back to my main question I want to transfer my contacts and calender from my Wizard to my Wallaby PocketPC2002 I got from a friend when my Wizard started fubaring. I have it backuped with PIMBackup but PocketPC2002 wont run that darnded program. Whats the best way to do this? IF I get the Wizard to run stable for a few mins, copy/sync the calender/contacts with a computer and then try to sync/copy it back to the Wallaby? Or convert the PIMbackup files to some other format that works with PocketPC2002? I have mailed the author of PIMBackup but he hasnt answered yet.
No help no tips?

The only way you would be able to upgrade to WinMO 6.5 would be to flash the phone just like when you flash a custom ROM now
WinMO 6.5 is not an installable app/upgrade like upgrading an application on your phone its the operating system itself
Right now and there are very few ROMS out there for WinMO 6.5 and none for the Vogue at all (Im assuming you have a Vogue as this is where you posted) soon there will be one as there are people working on it currently but what is there is EXTREMELY buggy and almost non-functional for the fact its on a phone and a phone should be able to be used after all LOL
Keep with the Custom ROMS for now and wait, the desire for it has been spoken and the Chefs are a cookin LOL

NFSFan has confirmed that those WM 6.5 ROMS are FAKE. Even if they were real, there would be no point of using them...
The builds are fake indeed. However they do contain a few components of 6.5. None which are worth upgrading for.

Really? What components do they have? Anything from a new today screen or Internet Explorer (like rumored)?
Kinetic scroll (give up TouchFLO and Manila2D), new IE build that supports kinetic scroll. The today screens being posted are fake. They are actually from a smartphone, called HTC Juno. Some asian dude took it out of the Juno, resized the images, and re-arranged the tabs to make it look like the new today screen.
flashing on Vouge
I know this may sound tedious but i have no idea on how to flash any ROM onto my Vouge. Can someone please help. I would love to try out several ROMs and see which one would work best for me.
Thanks in advance
Hey, here is one really good one
Detroit_Doug said:
Basically here are the steps
Download the 2.31 unlocker
Download the ROM you want to use (my personal preference is this one for a TF2D style or this one for a WinMO 6.5 style interface that has TF2D included to switch back and for - both very stable, fast and clean and the thread is very active for help (especially if your on Verizon or Bell which can have issues)
from there, use WinRAR to extract each file into separate folders
then Put your phone in bootloader mode (press and hold power+camera+stylus in reset until 3-color screen comes up)
At this point at the bottom of the screen it will say Serial, plug it into the USB cable or cradle and it should change to USB
Start the exe in the 2.31 and follow the directions (you may get some errors about sleep4.exe just click on OK as it keeps occuring its a XP/Windows7 64 bit issue if that is what your using)
At the point where it tell you to disconect, unplug the phone from the USB cable and wait (count to 10 or something) then plug it back in, it should have went from USB to SERIAL and now back to USB at that point go ahead and hit any key on your PC and it should continue along
once complete, reboot, allow it to do its thing then reboot and go back into bootloader again during reboot you should see coke 2.31 in the upper left if so your ready to go
plug it into your USB/Cradle again and then go into the ROM folder you extracted the ROM into
Once the screen on your phone says USB again go to the folder and double click on the RomUpdateUtility.exe file and follow the directions again, it may take some time so be paitent
once the phone flashes and reboots, let it run and do its thing to the and reboot itself then (and here is an important step for stability) once it starts up do a hard reset (red+green+stylus in reset hole) hit the enter button (center of D-Pad) it will reflash the phone and then red key (send) when prompted
then go thought the setup again, this time you can actually set things up as your keeping them this time and once things are done and your at the start screen on your phone power off (not reset) the phone and then start it up again - seems doing it this way takes care of alot of little issues that will come up before they can happen
Depending on your carrier be sure to have one of the DCD Carrier Cabs as well especially for the 6.5 ROM as it is a generic ROM and some have reported needing to run the DCD Carrier Cab for the service they use to get on the internet and use GPS and the like

Everything is working smoothly and better than I thought it would have (i flashed the 6.5 ROM). Thanks to you Detroit Doug or I don't think I would have been able to do it without your instructions. I however do have one more question....i'm having issues syncing the device with my PC now. Any idea on what that could be???
re: Thanks
I've done several resets but to no avail am i able to connect via active sync???
OK maybe i lied about everything working properly and wonderful....so on top of not being able to connect to my PC via activesync I also am not able to connect to the internet on my device, i've downloaded and installed the NFSFAN Sprint GPS Registry but still its a no go... Did i do something wrong completely????? still
I fixed the internet problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
....somehow magically i'm now able to connect via activesync. I guess the device just needed time to adjust. Thanks for the help, and i do apologize for the numerous newbie questions.

The best is NFSFAN's Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM. You can find it on another thread in this forum right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
Don’t even bother with anything else. I am running this. It is fast, stable and very close to the stock WM 6.5 (I have downloaded the device emulator image from Microsoft’s website for software development purposes). The extras that are in there are useful.

Sprint Vogue - Upgraded from 6.1 to 6.5 and no internet or GPS

I used all of the step by steps on your site (xda) unlocked the phone, unplugged the cable when it told me to. I even ran the rom 3 times like someone suggested. Did the hard reset, and loaded the sprint cab file.
I get internet when plugged into my computer via usb cable. I love 6.5 but if I cant use the internet while away from a pc I cant use it. A have already gone back to 6.1 where everything is working. Please help me...

Which 6.5 rom are you using? If it's NFSFAN's, did you try his spring internet&gps posted in his thread? What sprint cab did you use? DCD's?

I had the same thing happen to me when I upgraded to 6.5 on my Sprint Touch (I also flashed the ROM 3 times). I ended up going back to 6.1 (everything works), re-upgrading to 6.5 (internet still didn't work), back to 6.1 and finally upgraded to 6.5 (everything works). Regarding the internet, make sure that your "Current username" in Device Information is [your sprint.com username]@sprintpcs.com. I think that was my problem... I only casually checked the GPS, so I am not sure when it worked and when it didn't, but it's working now. Good luck

I think mine was configured automatically by Sprint when I was using the stock 6.1 ROM. If I am wrong about that (I tried so many different things), I must have edited "User Name" in the DATA [3282] phone code.
ok i am still dead in the water on this. i checked with sprint and they told me to go to start-settings-personal-phone and then under settings should be an internet or network option to which i should be able to hit the "get settings" button and it should be ok, however internet isn't even there and nothing ele seems to fix it? anyone?
Yeah, those options aren't in 6.5. Have you tried going back to 6.1 and checking the internet? HTC has the ROMs posted on their support pages (e.g. this is the Sprint one)
I had the same issue. Flashed what seems to be a billion times.
Now I'm just running a bare 6.1 stock rom and running android on it for a much, much better OS. 6.5 is amazing and all, but it still can't hold a candle to android. Next I need to try Hero, as I'm running cupcake.
When you flash back to 6.1 run the IOTA (provisions) under the settings to make your internet works. then when you flash to 6.5 you shouldn't need to run the provision or gps cabs. this has worked for me every time. so just make sure your internet works on whatever rom you are using before 6.5...

The data [3282] keeps asking me for a password, ? Just need to change the user name so sprint tv will work.

Synching post flash - help!

Hi
I think I've made a pretty dumb error - I wonder if anyone can help me.
I've just flashed my Diamond to upgrade it from 6.1 to one of the 6.5 ROMs. I used the Windows Mobile Device Center to synchronise what was on my phone before I did the flash.
The flash has worked perfectly, but I think it's changed the name of my device? When I've tried to resync to get all my PIM info back - there's nothing there.
Does anybody know how I access my old info? Outlook looks pretty empty.

[Q] Huge Problem, Getting close though! Help!

(This was the most related section to my phone, if I'm wrong please move it and don't delete it. I really need help! lol.)
K I rooted last night, flashed CM7.2
Phone: LG Thrill 4G AT&T flashed to CyanogenMod 7.2
Before you guys tell me to use the search, I have! I've been working on this for 11 hours straight now cause I can't use my phone!
1st Problem: After flashing I had no service. (Yes I used search.) Tried adding APN manually, no luck with many different methods. All the other methods possible required file transfers, which leads me to my 2nd problem.
2nd Problem: My computer will not recognize my phone to transfer files. It will charge however. I tried uninstalling drivers and reinstalling them, etc.
BUT right now I have it open! Yes! Now I just want to know the best files and things to do right now before it won't let me transfer files again. I do not know why it is suddenly reading it so I'm counting on it not being able to after I try fixing everything.
If I flash to a new ROM will I get service back? Should I just go back to stock/unroot? I'd prefer to keep it rooted if I can get my service and everything working.
Thank you guys! I know a lot of these question have been answered and I tried finding them, I really did. But I'm so close now that I can actually transfer files and I just need help! Thank you. I appreciate it.
And by the way I can't just backup because when I flashed to CM7 my original backup got deleted, or just hidden deep away somewhere??
