Hello,
I have a few questions about Typhoon 7000XL:
1. Is it possible to upgrade operating system from its original Windows Mobile 2003 Pro. second edition to WM5 or WM6?
2. Is it possible to change operating systems language from say German to English? if yes, how?
3. How to make a complete back-up before upgrading so that in case anything goes wrong, it can still be downgraded back to its original state?
I am new to this area and any help will be greatly appreciated.
Thank you.

Hi, My name is Hashim, and I am pleased to meet you in this forum.
Actually, I have a very simillar situation like yours with the Typhoon 7000XL. At the moment I don't have any solution to these problems, but I promise you if I get any, I will let you know.
Likewise, if you find any solution to those problems, I would be very appreciated if you could kindly let me know.
Best regards.
Hashim
all pda's are different
and cant share roms
if there is newer rom for the device it will likely
be on their site
or a site like this just for that range of devices
Hey everyone. I would like to downgrade my HTC Artemis from WM 6.1 to WM 5 because of a Sound-Bug. I want to see whether it's a hard- or software problem. Since I'm quite a newbie in case of PDA's, could anyone give me a short explanation what I have to do.
Thanks

you must to find a WM5 ROM (try to see your Operator Web site), and flash it with...
Pinned articles
If you look closely in the pinned articles on the top of this page you will find a post in which you will be able to download the Rom the HTC P3300 is shipped with originally. It works well and even installs when you brick your device so it doesn't start no more but still lets you connect via USB.
What ROM are you using now? I guess you've already tried a hard reset. Why not flash another WM6 ROM?
Hello folks,
i am kinda new here, but i already spend three hours of searching on Wiki section of Hermes and this forum onto how to upgrade my Windows Mobile 5 to version 6.1.
I decided to choose a custom made ROM of Windows 6.1. Before i did the HardSPL upgrade, and now there is something i need to ask you guys.
Do i have to be afraid of screwing the device doing a straight upgrade to 6.1 from 5 ? I could find any clues on this.
Please give advice, thank you so much.
My advise is to go the 6.0 first purely for upgrading your radio to the latest release then flash with any 6.1 you want.
that emerges one more question- i am using the vodafone branded Hermes from UK in Slovakia /middle europe, so i should proceed to flash Win Mobile 6.0 first with which provided version of Win for best results ?
thatx again

Looks like it's got a 1.47.00.10 radio, so any of those will do ... actually best to follow this from day 1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1990320&postcount=6
Edit my 4shared as the att stripped ROM without radio as flashing too many radios can lead to a brick, so yeah
i just checked my radio version, its 1.32.00.00. sry for one more question, but i am totally new and this device costed me so much
which version can i use now ? please tell me the exact name
other details:
windodws mobile 5.1.461 (build 15671.3.3.0)
rom version 2.04.161.2
rom date 01/19/07
radio version 1.32.00.00
protocol version 32.65.7020.09W
HARD SPL YOUR PHONE 1ST!!!!!!!!!
Just about EVERY cooked rom has this as the header.
At least if something goes wrong you have a chance to recover your "expensive" toy.
If you don't have it and something goes wrong, like for example you don't have a superCID device and flash a different carrier rom, you may be able to fix it instead of getting an expensive paperweight..... READ the tutorials, thats what they're for, so we don't have people calling for help. So many people would still have a functional phone if they took the time to do a bit of research.

Good morning icefirsr,
I'm pretty new at this as well, and have flashed my phone over a dozen times in the last week. Believe me, three hours is not enough research time yet. There are many things to learn, and some of these folks are extremely knowlegable about this stuff.
Those of you with a lot of experience, please correct any of the following you don't agree with.
This is what I have done, after reading a lot of different threads:
1) Do a HARD SPL first.
2) Unlock the phone, both cid and sim
3) Read about radios - I've settled on 1.47.30.10 - it seems to be doing well with both battery life and signal reception.
4) LEARN about the different types - NonRBSN, RBSN, lite, normal, full, compressed, non-compressed. Each has stengths and weaknesses concerning speed, storage utilization, stability, features - it goes on and on.
I've flash different flavors, and am on DVH_V27_NoBS. It's a 6.1 ROM, and so far, it is great. I believe it was released on 10/30/2008.
**(Please excuse my sig for not stating my configuration, been flashing too much, but may have settled on this one for a bit.)
I've been impressed with many - I like the PDACorner roms, version 11 was my first ever flash. I'm waiting on V27 to be re-released, the first iteration I had a few problems with, but liked the speed it offered, and especially like the CRC Device Update and Connection Wizard that was included. Speaking of CRC, I really like V13, and was using it before the current DVH rom I'm using - am anxious for V14, which may even be out now.
That said, this is addicting, even bought another 8525 on eBay for play/flashing purposes...
Could any of the more experienced folks please add to this? I don't want to lead anyone down the wrong path.
Thanks a bunch everyone.

please dont use caps, especially, when you are not right here, my first post already said that i did HARD SPL first
Johnzai thank you for a such long response, i am looking forward to flashing it, but i am still a bit afraid of flashing it from 5.0 to 6.0, because i dont know , which of the official 6.0 ROMS with radio update should i use to finally get to 6.1, i just cant find it anywhere

I would advise trying to download the official release from your cell provider first. I'm not sure if it's necessary to go from 5 to 6 to 6.1 - but verify this first. I would think you could go straight to 6.1 - perhaps upgrade your radio first to version 1.47.30.10 - I've used that version on both 6 and 6.1.
With the radio upgraded, then you could flash any 6.1 - as long as you've unlocked the phone, have you done that yet?
I would advise waiting for a post to verify this, or read a bit more about jumping from 5 to 6.1..... If I knew for sure, I would tell you instead of sending you to "threadland".
ok so far i have done this:
1.getting HARD SPL
2.doing SIM and CID unlock
3.updating RADIO to the one you mentioned , working fine, did some phone calls
4.i am gonna do a 6.1 win update straight ahead, its a cooked one,hope it works, anyone gives me a reason to not do this ?
ty
Sounds like so far, so good. I would advise reading the following post about types of ROMS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412895&page=113
Then, look at using this DVH Rom:
http://kc9.info/pdaviet/rom/Dvha79_... 20924.1.5.0 PV DVH) Black(Full) NoBS V27.exe
When you click on this link, it will be for a download, the id and password are PDAVIET and PDAVIET.
Let us know how it works for you.

Hi Guys,
I want to upgrade my O2 XDA Orbit to WM 6.5 but can't find any thing on the internet... there are quite a few websites talking about it but none of them have a link for the software or the list of instructions to follow. I am fairly new to this whole upgrading thing, so would really appreciate if one you can please push me in the right direction.
The details of my mobile phone are:
Model: O2 XDA Orbit
Processor: OMAP850-201MHz
currently on WM 6 Professional CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3)
I need the link to the software and the instructions to follow.
Many Thanks,
Mahesh

look in my signature for some of the ROMs i have made (they are a bit old since i am away from the artemis scene these days)
and you can look out for shady's ROMs in artemis section

Hi guys. New to the forum.
Here's the deal.
Got a HTC touch diamond (below spec.) last week. Got it second hand and it seem to me it works pritty slugish. I mean it takes like 1-2 seconds before the phone recognize I'm trying to slide on the quick links menu in the bottom. Also the free memory after a cleanRam secion is abt 20 MB. Also smtimes the phone would not respond and nothing would help but removing the battery.
Can you please sujjest what the reason might be is it a bad ROM? Does win 6.1 work better on the Diamond as it comes with it preinstalled? Looking for some advise before changing the ROM.
T-Mobile MDA Vario IV
Bluetooth version - 2.0/2.0+EDR
O.S. Version: Win Mob 6.5 professional
CE O.S. 5.2.28011 (28011.5.5.0)
Manila version 2.5.19211619.0
ROM 28011_KH WWE
Radio version 1.09.25.23
Protocol version 52.51.25.26H
Thanks in advance!
ROM
WM6.1 is not as quick as 6.5, but it should not be taking as long as you are describing to do anything
Chances are there is a piece of software installed making the phone sluggish, you can remove programs just like a PC in the phones settings, have a look down the list and see if there is anything there you dont want
If you choose to upgrade to WM6.5 I highly recommend "BsBG 6.5" from this link
I have tried 100's of ROMs and this is the only one where everything works flawlessly on it (Dont forget to Flash the unlocked Radio and Security unlock the phone before upgrading)
