looking to upgrade to 6.5 have downloaded 6.5 rom and dcd carrier for telus. i guess i install the rom 1st than the carrier? my radio is 3.41 do i need to upgrade it first? if so where can i get it?
You need to unlock your phone first and then you can install the 6.5 rom.
Though if you don't have an extended battery you'll end up with your phone dying a lot faster. I have an extended battery and it's all but dead after a day of normal use.
phone already unlocked. do i run dcd carrier after rom
try the rom out and see if you can send and receive calls, text messages, data work, and gps. If these don't work without the carrier cab then Install it. or you can just install it for the heck of it.
what about the radio currently 3.41.00 do i need higher??

No, you do not. Any 3.xxx radio is GPS capable, and required for wm 6.1 and up.

I looked around and did not see a clear answer to the question of reverting/flashing back to WM5 if desired after flashing one of these WM6 ROMS.
Does anyone know where I can find the answer?
Thanks in advance.
I too have looked around but haven't asked for fear of being flamed. The gurus think that we should be able to pick up on all the lingo and have a clear understanding of what everything means.
I am looking for a way to go back to a shipped ROM from anything after flashing SPL 1.11 in case I need to warranty exchange my Cingular 8525. I have yet to figure out how to do it.

Yes. You can go back to WM5 from WM6. I have done it before with no problems. Your answer is once again yes!
I will not flame you but look harder.

...but just to let You know..
once You go black (2.5 ), You will never go back...
hi there
first of all, I am no expert in the ROM related knowledge, but i did go back to WM5 from WM6 recently. The reason I have gone back to WM5 it is because I am suspecting the Chinese viewer (CE-Star) that i used does not work good in any flavor of WM6, it causes frequent lock-ups in WM6 that makes my phone pretty much unusable.
Besides, i don't mind to share my experience for downgrading to WM5, the following is my up and down sequence.
1. upgrade from Dopod WM5 rom to WM6 cooked rom
2. upgrade to SPL 1.40
3. upgrade radio to 1.38.00.11
4. upgrade radio to 1.40.30.00
5. upgrade to SPL 2.10
6. downgrade SPL from 2.10 to 1.40
7. downgrade from WM5 Rom (It is some sort of HTC Standard WM5 Rom that my friend gave me, and my radio has gone back to 1.38.00.10 as the ROM comes with it.
8. upgrade to SPL 2.10
9. upgrade to Radio 1.40.30.00
Also, you may check out mrvanx's guide for downgrading to WM5 here.

actually... i'm on black 2.5 and thinking of going back... too many apps are wiggin out on wm6
I actually just did it. I was running the latest version of HardSPL, flashed to the new ATT ROM, and then created a updater to flash the SPL to the ATT spl.
Wasn't hard, and only took a few minutes. So, as of right now, my phone is running the new ATT ROM, and if I need to warranty it, I'm all set.
in the wiki it mentions..
If your vendor has released you original rom as a shipped upgrade, you just need to flash it.
If your vendor has not released any ROM upgrade yet, you cannot fall back to original ROM easily. You'll have to reconstruct the ROM out of a dumped ROM.

I'm using 838pro, what about the ROM which available to download from the dopod company website.
does it safe to just flash from it or do I need to repackage the ROM..?

if you only want to read chinese, but not input, there is an alternative to it. look for a cab which is named 'sunglobe.ttf register patch'.
Maybe the easiest way
First thing I would want to do is to Flash the unit to what is known as a "Hard SPL". For some reason it makes all the other flash work go a lot more smoothly. You can get instructions and software for that at:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php...ask=view&id=40&Itemid=26&limit=1&limitstart=2
Once that is done, and it should take about 5-10 minutes depending upon the speed of your computer and USB connection, you can load whatever OS rom you desire.
You can get a carrier agreeable rom from the Cingular/ATT site:
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/8525/software-downloads.html
Or, and this should work, just link directly to the rob by clicking:
http://www.htcamerica.net/support/d...R_WWE_2.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship.exe
This should leave you at the latest and greatest of the WM5 packages from Cingular/ATT, and all should be well. And . . . if it hozes . . . which it should not, you should have no warrantee issues since you were trying to flash the upgrade that THEY were providing you. :-D

ROMs from Dopod HK or Singapore are very old ones. The SPL is 1.04. You may not be able to flash backward if you are with HardSPL v7. Also if your radio ROM is newer than 1.27, you may face problem when you flash the original (as it is packed with an old radio rom).
(Please correct me if I am wrong.)
To play safe, follow mrvanx' guide:

After some readings and I have managed to used dutty's tool to recompiled the Dopod's WM5 English rom from the original Dopod shipped rom.
This rom has OS + Extended Rom ONLY.
No IPL, No SPL, No Radio.
I have tested and it works on my Hermes, and Bootloader and Radio stay as is. Please note your result may vary.
Here's the download link
http://rapidshare.com/files/29500131/WM5_Dopod_1.30.707.4__Huchison_3_AU__OS_ExtRom_only.7z
To play safe, I would suggest you to do the following prior flashing the OS rom.
1. Flash boot loader to Hard-SPL-V7
2. Flash your radio rom to 1.38. or 1.40

Hi! Have you tried flashing original carrier ROM & then flashing the ROM of your choice??
original carrier rom?i think i didnt do that....where i can get this original rom?is it we must flash to wm5 1st then upgrade to wm6?thanks
I hope you had Hard SPL installed.
Do a search to see if you can find your carriers WM06 rom, it doesn't need to be WM05. Search is your friend here.

Hi!
The radio ROM provides improvements on the GSM radio stack and this has effect on the GSM signal, AT command interface, GSM data modem (3G, GPRS, EDGE, HSDPA, etc...) functionality that is controlled by the Radio Interface Layer (RIL)
Please go trough this page you have plenty of information related to all Hermes related queries one may have.. Hope it will be useful for you
Just remember though that if something stuffs up while flashing the radio rom, you are pretty much gonna end up with a brick... You may be able to use the PDA functions but phone will be gone forever...
same problem
I have a dopod 838 pro. Hardspl by olipro. Flashed roms with manilla 2d and right now suffering the same problem like kahwah..
Tried already the method of flashing original rom then to the cooked rom but still the same problem persist.
Can someone give me an idea on what to do next..
Seriously guys, both of you, READ the Hermes Wiki and the Noob section, they are set as stickies at the top of the thread. I mean, come on, you have not even posted 7 posts on XDA-DEVs and you already are close to bricking your phone.
READ the Wiki first!
hi guys
as you can see im a total noob to the forums and to updating ROMs on the diamond
my htc diamond is running rom version
version: 1.37.707.1 WWE
date: 06/10/08
radio version: 1.00.25.03
protocol version: 52.26a.25.09H
i find that phone lags a bit and slows down especially when im unlocking with my password.
it also lags a bit when im activating the keyboard to write a sms..
so i guess i was hoping somebody could guide me in the right direction to get the latest rom update, and how do i do it.
i can see there are some custom roms around...so i have no idea whats the best way to proceed..
ive tried to download the latest rom update from the HTC site but it says that my device is not supported?
i dunno, cause i entered in the serial number located under the battery...
so im hoping somebody here can help me out..
thanks!
subs.
More info...
What's your diamond model number? It's under the battery.
You should look into HardSPL and then check out the official ROM's and Cooked ROM's and make a decision on which one you want to flash your phone with. Read the forum's and how-to's for more info...but first you should work out what version of the diamond you have before you go looking for ROM's...also, always HardSPL before you flash!
Good luck.
under the battery it says
HTC P3700 DIAM100
is that what you are referring to?

yeah, ive been reading that and im slowly starting to understand what i have to do...
i would like to do this rom update on my phone
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=423418
so from what i understand i first have to install a unsigned hardspl, any recommendations on which version i should use?
1.23
1.24 or
1.34 ?
i was going to use 1.24 only because i saw somebody post saying they used it and had no problems, but if i should use one of the other ones because it will work better then please let me know.
after doing the hardspl install i was going to backup all my contacts and then do the rom update.
am i missing any steps?
do i have to do a radio update before a rom update?
I use HardSPL 1.40 and had no problems so far so I havent updated it to 1.93.
I would recommend one of the new roms 2.03 (official or cooked, it depends on what you'd like ).

Install hardspl 1.40 or 1.93 (I use 1.93, but didn't have problems in the short time I used 1.40) hardspl and then install any rom you like. Just try to read as much as you can because chances are, any question you have, someone else has had it and it's on the board for you to read.
ok cool, i will install hardspl 1.40 and then that rom i mentioned
at the moment i dont have any questions, i will follow that thread that explains how to update roms and hope for the best
1 last question, i did do a search but didnt really find any definite answers...
if i brick my phone *touch wood i dont*
will it be difficult to unbrick it?

if you brick your phone, the only option left is to claim warranty.
And i believe the only step that could possibly brick your phone is flashing HardSPL, right guys?
I was in the same state of anxiety when I did my first ROM flashing. Thankfully it all went smoothly.
My 2 cents :
1, Think about what you are gaining by a ROM upgrade. If your phone is working well out of the box and your routine functions are satisfied, you are well off with you stock ROM. I flashed a couple of ROMs and now I am with my stock and I am perfectly fine.
2, Read this -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211 and this -> http://www.modmydiamond.info/ And if you understand every single letter of it only proceed.
Happy flashing
i have a diam100. can i flash it to a WWE dutty rom?
thanks for all the help guys, but i decided to flash my htc with the original rom from the htc site.
for the moment it runs like a dream and has fixed all my lag issues.
so im gonna stick with that....for the moment
It's important that you feel comfortable crossing over......but I have to say, when you decide to cross, it's an exhilarating feeling to know that you can select what ever Rom from, what I think are, top notch chiefs here but also the fun continues by selecting which ever Radio.
Many post on here that say, "I bricked my phone," truly didn't brick anything. They just hit a wall so they panic. Hard SPL really does a good job. So the chances of your bricking this device is not as high as some people think..
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

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.
I've trying to follow the instructions to flash my TyTn II.. to android
Do I need to have a WM6.1 ROM before proceeding? I'm currently running 6.0.
I've searched all over the place, 6.1 is no where to be found.. the link in this thread is broken..
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332246
in how-to thread for replacing Windows with Android there is step where it says that you should have HardSPL that matches your Windows ROM...
...maybe that's true, but i managed flashing my Kaiser with Hard SPL 3.25 on WinROM 6.0...no problems...and also flashed succefully radio, to version that matches my operator...also no problems...
...after that it's easy job...kernel and selected build.
so, try downloading HardSPL you want, and radio you need...flash them. I can't promise that it will work but it did job for me

No, you do not need 6.1. All you do is essentially flash the android kernel over WM. So essentially you just need hard spl and you should be fine. You flash it by going into the bootloader (multi colored screen)

Disagree. If e NEVER flashed a 6.1, he's using a very old Radio. At least a radio update should be made.
But you still don't NEED wm 6.1 to run android lol. Radio update is seperate.

True indeed. He could be running CE 0.0000001 for the matter
But you got my point If he doesn't flash a decent RADIO, tomorrow he'll be here saying that his kaiser running android is talking elvish to him and asking to fry eggs. Ah... and wifi doesn't work also, along with GPS
