How do you tell wich WM version is running? - Upgrading, Modifying and Unlocking

Hiya, I have a HTC Cruise and wnat to know which version of WM is running. I ask this as I sent HTC an email about their upgrade to 6.1 and the info they sent back was a ROM update with the same ROM version.
My phone device info is:
ROM version of 1.26.710.1 WWE
ROM Date of 12/17/07
Radio Version of 1.58.21.23
Protocol Version of 25.65.30.04H
To me the above numbers dont mean a heck of a lot but I hope they do to someone else..
The "About" screen indicates it is "Windows Mobile 6 Professional" (if it is 6.1, should it say "6.1"?)
Cheers
IJ

Start, Settings, About for the WM version.

If it indicates that, then it's the WM version, some devices don't have the most recent Windows Mobile update from HTC.
If you wan't to try, usually you must use cooked ROM's from XDA Dev's.

Where find WM5 ROM
I've see you already install the WM5, i really need to find that ROM for my XDAII can you give me a link to find it. I've try to buzz website but found ROM for Himalaya and the ROM version is 1.60.00WWE. I already upgrade my ROM into 1.72.00WWE from www.o2.co.uk but the OS is WinCE 4.20.
So is it ok to upgrade my O2 XDAII ROM with Himalaya XDAII ROM ? If something wrong can i rollback with older version ?
You cannot compare ROM numbers from (un)official WM 2003(SE) ROMs with those of unofficial WM 5.0 ROMs.
WM 5.0 1.60c ist much newer than WM 2003 1.72.xx

Help on Windows Mobile 6.1

Hi all.
I just bought an Orange spv m700. Original owner has debranded it and installed WM 6.1
Device name: HTC_P3600i
Model NO: TRIN100
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
ROM version 3.03.751.5
ROM Date: 04/01/08
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01H
I'm new to this flashing lark, and to tell you the truth I see little difference from the WM5 I'm used to (and I prefer the blue spec of WM5 to the green WM6.1)
What difference should WM 6.1 have made to the device?

..just try it or search the forum
I'm getting there.. using the stylus to handwrite messages is incredibly faster! Yep, growing to love this as much as the spv m600.
Schaps Advanced configuration tool (works w/wm6.1.) has a tweak to stop SIM contacts appearing, which is cool, and to lower volume of start up sound.

Nice link Tnyynt, very interesting read.
I'm avoiding the ever increasing temptation to test all these "great" roms out there because:
1. I don't know how easy it is to install them.
2. If anything goes wrong with my phone I can not sleep, eat or work til it is fixed!
Well,seems like is been unlocked already....so I don't think you should have any problem if you decide to upgrade/downgrade.Otherwise you can always unlock it yourself and even fix it.
Play with it and enjoy it after that, just decide what you want to do....but wm6 and 6.1 go really smooth,regarding wm5 blue theme I'm sure you can get it online,plus tnyynt is making some kick ass themes upon request.
Kind regards.
Hi DTA.
Thanks for the reply.
To tell you the truth, I have no idea yet how to change a rom. The phone came from ebay as it is, more or less.
BUT! This week I have learnt:
1. How to install a new theme - just need to copy a .tsk file to my device!
2. How to tweak - just insert the necessary .cab file for the tweaking program and tap on it to install!
There seem to be some great looking ROMS out there, most tempting, but as far as I can see from WIKI, changing a ROM is a lot more tricky and risky, no? I'm willing to learn, but I really need a step by step guide for dummies! (which I haven't found in "Wiki" yet).
This is a good guide www.trinityguides.info or send a PM with your questions and concerns.
lol... I just been reading that! Bizarre coincidences.
I guess it's NOT that tricky! I know I have Hard-SPL installed on my device (saw it when I flashed new Radio Ram).
So, I guess, all I need is to pick a ROM .cab file (I now know they appear as a .zip file) and do it. So many to choose from in the threads, but then you scroll on a bit and see posts from people who have run into all sorts of problems!
I don't think I'm really into all this touch-flo cube stuff. It looks cool but I wonder if it's really that useful or practical to use... so many recommended Rams out there!

the original WM5 on HTC version is Green also (puke no more blue theme) and the orange (SPV) were... orange .
well well well... windows 6.1 is as pretty as WM6 but as fast as WM5...
as always there is some bug but you can nearly solve all of them consulting this forum
i will never go back to WM5

hello trying to unlock my diamond

Hi Guys
I am trying to unlock my diamond. I have purchased it from Bell canada
and so far this is all I know about it. It is a DIAM500 whatever that means.
This is what it says in the about page
Windows Mobile 6.1
CE OS 5.2.19972 (Build 19972.1.2.7)
2008 Microsoft Corp.
ROM Version 1.13.666.7
Rom Date 10/02/08
Radio Version 1.04.02v
Hardware version 0080
PRL Version 31402
PRI version 1.42_007
So anyway I am not sure but this is probably really outdated stuff. I am not even sure if this is a CDMA device and how can i figure that out? I downloaded a diamond unlocker but it says I should install Hard spl 1.40 first.
So with my current config is it safe to do so? Any help is much appreciated.
p.s. I tryed to update the ROM trough the official HTC website but it wont let me update since it doesnt recognise my serial
number.
Look at this and ask questions in there:

upgrade Fujitsu loox N500 to wm6

sorry i am a bit of a beginner with all this but very confused. I want to upgrade my wm5 loox n500 with windows mobile 6 so i can run certain apps. I have read all the forums and i have downloaded the rom upgrades which say they will change my pda to wm6 - file appears to be os_122u.nbf. however after doing this which all appeared to go successfully my apps will still not run and it appears when i check that i am still on wm5
what am i doing wrong ? have i downloaded the wrong image / duff image ?
is there a dummy guide to upgrading the n500 anywhere ? is it the same for upgarde purposes as a n520 ?
any help appreciated
Craig
just by way of update after supposedly upgrading to wm6 it now says i am on version 5.1.464,
rom revision p224452-p919-v122
rom date 2006-09-20
bootloader revision 1.05
if this means anything to anybody ?
" 5.1.464"
== windows CE 5 which every windows mobile since wm5 have been build
on
where windows mobile 7 should use windows CE6
thanks Rude, just not sure how that helps me - or am i missing something ?
it gave you a version number to search if thats a 6.x version
another thing you can see is if you got threaded sms's it's one of the
few differences between wm6 wm5 apart from the glossy top panels

doubt about wm version

Hello to all the xda community.
I'm happy to have find out this place, where is possible to find interesting discussion and useful things for my mobile phone ( htc hd2 ).
Really thanks to all.
i was reading some post in these days about personalized themes and other stuff and often i read that most of this things works for windows mobile 6.5 or 6.5.x
Well, my htc hd2 ( buyed here in italy ) mount the 6.5 wm but i read something different on my phone: in my Info Software panel i can read the os version that is 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82 ).
I'm pretty confused now....
Maybe i can update the os?
Thanks for your support again.
i must say sorry....
i found something interesting about the various windows mobile version.
here the list:
3.0.9348 Pocket PC 2000
3.0.11171 Pocket PC 2002
4.20.xxxx Windows Mobile 2003
4.21.xxxx Windows Mobile 2003 SE
5.1.xxxx Windows Mobile 5
5.2.xxxx Windows Mobile 6
maybe this can be useful for someone here
anyway i didn't understand yet why in most post it's mentioned 6.5.x or 6.5 if the wm version are the only that i posted up here...
can someone help me just to understand?
for example, in a thread it's write that the a kind of task manager can work for WM6.5.X (28205/23518) ROM ( i dont know why the site don't allow me to insert the link ).
How i can check out what kind of WM version i have installed?
As i wrote already, i can read that i have installed 5.2.21869 (21869.5.0.82 )
So...may i upgrade my windows mobile or i'm misunderstanding something?
Thanks
What exactly are you asking? You're running Windows Mobile 6.5, if that's your question. You are NOT running 6.5.x, though if you search you will find plenty of 6.5.x ROMs for your Leo. The numbers you're seeing on the info panel are simply the Windows CE kernel version and the Windows Mobile build number, both of which are irrelevant for most people.

5.2 is the Windows CE Version
21869 is the build number
5.0.82 is the AKU
There's a list somewhere stating that 5.0.x AKUs are WM 6.5
The newest 6.5.x builds have a higher AKU i.e. 5.5.x
They also have a higher build number like i.e. 23534
There's also a list somewhere stating which range of build numbers belong to which version of 6.x
I agree it's a bit confusing in the beginning.

Exactly.
I was asking if the phone has installed wm 6.5, cause i was read in the info panel that number that you explain now that is the kernel version

Ok.
So, the phone have installed the wm 6.5 until i use the official ROM released from HTC support.
It change only if i install, for example, a different rom donwloadble from here.
Am i right?

Got it.
I think that you already understand that i'm new in this kind of things.
Thanks for your answer.
