hi,
I am quite a newbie, and have had a lot of fun and some success in burning roms thanks to all the guides on here.
Q: would it be possible to backup the Orange branded WM 6.1 rom on a TYTN II and use the backup to re-flash to an Orange WM 5 Trinity ?
despite all the boos and catcalls I may get - I actually like the Orange branding/sidebar etc.
(typed whilst holding a box over my head)
the reason I am considering this is to get the WM 6.1, and that the Orange in the Tytn version has a 'Go To ...'
on rh softkey that allows me to personalise the sidebar.
the current rom details are -
Tytn
rom ver 3.28.61.0.WWE 05/02/08
radio 1.65.16.25
Trinity (I re-flashed from HTC Mozzer’s Orange_Trinity off the forum)
Rom ver 1.23.61.5 02/08/07
Radio 1.38.00.11
Is this really practical .. or do I simply need some kind of current Orange plug-in to get all that branding ?
could it be as simple as doing a full system backup on the Tytn with SPB Backup and ‘restoring’ that onto the Trinity ?
or is the real truth that I have finally lost my marbles ?
any honest answers welcomed. (even from psychiatrists)

actually no.
roms are not interchangable due to device specific drivers. trinity is very few interchangable in quite a lot of stuff (camera is only one example)
but you probably get the orange branding from your tytn ii rom out of the dump to place it into a trinity rom or install it afterwards with via cab?
anyways, if you have a ruu_signed i can dump and take a quick look at it

thanks for reply Nosedive,
if I understand your offer correctly,
are you suggesting that you could extract just the Orange stuff from a WM 6 rom and convert it into a cab for to install to my Trinity ?
if this is possible, I do have a rom :
RUU_HTC_TyTN_II_Kaiser_ORANGE_UK_3.28.61.0R_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship.exe
and would be willing to upload it (I don't know how to just yet though)
my current rom is:
ver 1.23.61.5
date 02/08/07
radio 1.38.00.11
please take into account that I have a perfectly working WM 5 with Orange branding, and have no real justification in wanting the better WM 6 branding except for the same reasons that some folk give for climbing mountains !
as such I would not wish to expect you to go to a lot of trouble just to cater to my foibles.
thanks,
Kevin

Does anybody have a copy that I can have which involves not messing with and that I can flash to my XDAIIs with no country error and no o2 stuff on it so it looks like the i-mate :?:

Dude do what this say's.
I've just done it: UK XDA IIs, on Orange network, running i-mate 1.40 ROM.
Slightly going OT...
I am quite keen to do the upgrade from my standard O2 XDA2s 1.31.00 WWE ROM, but I am a little unsure on what 1.40 ROM to download from WIKI. I think I need:
i-mate 1.40.176
I know my device is a Blue Angel, Rom as above, extended ROM as 1.31.139 WWE
Can anyone confirm the correct download please?
Also, has anyone had any problems installing on XDA's the same as mine?
I have read the install tutorial, but would like to get an idea of if I am going to run into problems.
Oh, one more thing... What advantage does ROM 1.40 have over my existing ROM apart from bug fixes (oh please! daily lockups!!!)?
Many, many thanks.
O2 XDAIIs Upgrade
I used the i-mate 1.40.176 upgrade for my O2 XDAIIs. All in all its pretty stable, with only the Bluetooth stability (memory issues and BT Manager & Settings "disappearing") as the main issue. Much better than the O2 1.31 ROM (will they ever get that 1.40 update out...!?) You will need to use the "MAUpgrade" rather than "BAUpgrade" utility, as the 1.40.176 ROM was built for the i-mate rather than the xda2s.
One problem I did have with this ROM at the start, was that GPRS would not stay connected. This seems to be a sporadic problem among those that upgrade, but if you experience it after upgrading to this ROM, you can correct the problem by replacing the "CallerID" cab in the extended ROM with the older version (1.17) This version of the file is available on wiki also. This will involved unhiding and unlocking the Extended ROM and replacing the file. Look at the wiki instructions under Blue Angel for "Cooking Your First Extended ROM" That said, you may not experience this problem, so upgrade the ROM first and see how it goes.
All in all a much better ROM. I am trying the new O2 Asia WWE ROM with a modified extended ROM and this is also pretty good. Slighty better Wi Fi switch on and off in my opinion. This one is on wiki also, but you will probably need to "cook" the extended ROM here a bit more than the 1.40.176 version.
Hope this helps
Chris
Anybody tried the imate 1.40 rom on O2 XDA IIs purchased from Singapore?
I am facing problems to using any 'Today Plug-ins' like IP Dashboard, O2 Plus beta, Lexisgoo English dictionary etc. The problem is after say 30 minutes or after more, my keyboard input will only be selectable, cannot select CE-Star chinese keyboard or Intellipad.
What do I have on my O2 XDA IIs?
1. CE-Star
2. Intellipad and Intellidialler
3. Lexisgoo English dictionary
4. SKTools
5. Sprite backup standard
6. Cal89A calculator
7. MDict 1.21
and many more.
Please help anyone.
Thanks.
my exerience with this device and all the ROMS has been that the fewer Today plugins you have the better. SPB Pocket Plus V2.5 caused a lot of lock ups. Not sure about new version 3.0 Seems multiple Today plug ins cause conflicts. Hard to pinpoint all the interactions and what affects what... Not much help I am afraid :-[ I would just try to keep them to a minimum.
Regards
chris
You said it man!
I'm down to zero 'Today Plug-ins' now and it seems to keep my IIs from needing to 'soft reset'.
Any others from Singapore who had used the Imate 1.40 rom?
Two major problems that I am facing with 1.40 ROM include:
1. wifi can't be connected after disconnecting GPRS.
2. bluetooth problem (memory error) or storage card disappear after disconnecting BT.
Anybody experience these?
Cheers,

I had used the Imate rom before but, there has been many casses of terrible lag. When i updated to 1.40 and radio to 1.13 wooo... just very very fast...
Installing the latest Pocketplus with my 1.40 ROM makes my device hard-reset itself.
I need a way of getting IE to be able to save pictures. Anyone know of an alternative way to do this?
I have no problem with pocketplus 3.0.
Which version you are using?
1.40 ROM has serius today screen problems with me too (That's why I still use 1.31).
I have no problem with pocketplus 3.0.
Which version you are using?

My ROM configuration is in my sig.
The SPB pocketplus version is: v3.0.0.3652
I really want the mods it offers. (particularly 'save picture as' in IE).
Hi everyone,
I'm looking for someone who already managed to upgrade a german T-Mobile MDA compact III to WM6. Has anyone experiences with this? It's my business phone and I don't want to break it.
1. Is there any chance to reflash the old WM5 ROM if something goes wrong?
2. How can I save the old ROM!?
3. Do I need to setup any regional settings if I use the O2 ROM for example?
Thanks for all answers!

You shurely can use the O2 ROM. Regional settings? You can change the regional settings in the ROM, but you don´t neet to if you use the german version of the O2 ROM.
There is a way to make a backup of your curent ROM to a storagecard. Use the search..
You should make a backup of your pim (contacts, tasks, calendar etc.) with PPCPimBackup because you can restor them with thiis program, but not with SPB Backup..
Is your phone sim- or netlocked? Normally the german tmob devices are..
IMPORTANT: You can update - but before you flash your rom with any new os (like the O2) do the "uspl" (CID Unlock) first!
Look here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=308242
I have updated mine. Everything works fine, but the menues are in English.
The phone must be CID unlocked then you can flash any ROM you like. You can also find a CAB for T9 input in German.
Ciao
Thanks a lot guys for all the information. I'll report later if it worked...
Success
Thanks for all your information!
Everything worked fine.
At first I tried to make an backup, but I was not really successful, see here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312871&page=5
But it didn't matter because I found a german wm5 rom for t-mobile:
XDA-DEV FTP -> "Uploads/Upload/Official MDA Compact III ROM/MDA Compact III German.exe"
So here is a conclusion for all noobs, like me:
1. Run USPL, get it here and read all the stuff: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403
2. Patch any ROM you like, for example one of those: http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=362 or get one on the xda-dev ftp
I tried three or four of the ROMs from the forum, it was possible to flash them all, but I had to try it twice to "remove" the german O2 ROM (flash another ROM over the O2), but maybe I did something wrong in the first place.
What I would finally like is a T-Mobile branded german WM6 ROM. If anyone could give me some tipps where to start, I would appreciate it. I think it should be possible to extract the german O2 WM6 OS and somehow mix it with the T-Mobile stuff from the WM5 ROM. I know there is a lot information here on the forum, but any hint is nevertheless very appreciated

what t-mobile stuff you like on phone?
try the Black&Blue 3.7 GERMAN ROM or wait 1-2 month for the HTC WM6 ROM or cook by your self
*ps i have an O² xda orbit but my provider is t-mobile. i currently use the WM6 GER of O²
Hi,
I'm completely new to all this but I have done my best to try and figure it all out for myself but I'd still like to make sure I've understood a few things correctly...
I have an SFR s300+ bought here in France. The OS is WM5 and I'd like WM6.
I have allready tried out the "off"+"camera button"+soft reset to see if I needed to install a hard SPL : I do.
I've downloaded Des' Crashproof (due to the reassuring name) SPL.
I can now install that by following the guide without backing anything up yet (correct me if I'm mistaken)...
Once done I will have to copy all my important info and then I will be able to flash any ROM of my choice (English, French, official or not) is that right?
If I'm not mistaken and I can now install any ROM, which English ROM is the best?
I'd also like to know if I have to install a radio after this or will the one I have at the moment (that works fine) be preserved?
If I do have to install a radio which do you recommend for SFR in France considering I sometimes go to Spain.
One last question ; does installing an update to WM6 require a product key or registration of any sort like Windows on the PC or can I just flash and use freely?
If anyone takes the time to answer any of my questiions I would be very grateful. Thank you in advance.
Yes, install the ROM you like.
Best ROM? impossible to answer - lots of good ones about - try bepe black and blue karmba, mary - any recent English ROMS.
Although you do not NEED to install another radio - you probably SHOULD because your battery life under WM6 will be terrible with your current radio.
I would recommend 1.46.00.11 - although an radio from 1.41 upwards should be OK with SFR and on other networks in other countries. (I'm an SFR customer and connect in Belgium, France, Switzerland, Italy, UK etc.)
You will not need a licence key key to work with WM6.
Happy flashing.
Thanks for the answers!
Ok, well I'll give it a go when I'm a little less tired and report back...
One last thing, the battery life under WM6 comment got me wondering, is it worth the hassle (WM6 that is)?
I would guess so considering all the WM6 ROMs that people have gone to great lengths to make...
All opinions are welcome and appreciated.
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?

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
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)
