I've searching and reading throughout the forum regarding upgrading the i780 to wm6.1. I am extremely confused. I have the official upgrade pack on my pc, but i have no clue on what settings to put into mirage. I understand i must use xp with mirage, but will anyone kindly guide me or help me with the process? please!
I apologise if such threads have been created, but since I am new to the winmo world, i need a guiding light.
Use google search. Dont make new Threads.

Hello All,
Yes I am a newby here and I have tried to search for my answers so please do not flame me too bad.. I have an 8125 on Cingular service that has the origional ROM and I would like to upgrade it. I have reviewed the post and they are really hard to follow as they split off to multiple threads and almost always assume that you know the correct steps to follow.
Has anyone posted a "how to" for those of us that are new here? If not would someone like to talk me through it?
Thanks so much for your help

Hello,
I just picked up an HTC 6800 unit branded the P4000 from Telus. It came with WM5 and I would like to load WM6 on it. I've been reading lots around here trying to get all the tools and information I need to move forward but more than anything I'm nervous that I will brick my phone. I know my phone is very new and I'm not sure if these tools will work on my model or not?
From what I understand I need to use the CID Unlock to allow me to upgrade my ROM and Radio for WM6.
I think with a little trial and error that I have enough knowledge to get this working it's just like I said I'm not sure if these tools will work on my phone.
Can someone please tell me if this will work or give me some links to other posts that might help.
Thanks in advance for everyones help,
Dave

DO NOT UPGRADE with WM6 in this forum! the phone you have is the Herald which is not the same as the Hermes. If I am right yours has a 200mhz chip and the keyboard slides out to the right. If you upgrade with the Hermes WM6 it will brick your device.

WHAT ARE YOU SAYING, IT IS A DIFFERENT PHONE!
hi
I tried looking around and really couldnt find any information for n00bs to help them cook there own roms.
could someone please advise me where this information is available or if someone can do a breif guide on what to do and how?
dont meen to ask TOO much but its really been buggin me.
Your pretty much going to have to read and search...
I have been trying to make my own for awhile and no luck until a couple nights ago I finally got something "cooking".
I found I ended up using two or three different programs to cook with since they all seem to do a little different.
Sorry I can't personally be of more help but you are going to have to search and read since no one will probably take the time to make it "super easy".
Bhups,
Start with the wiki. There are now a number of ROM kitchens that make cooking "relatively easy" to where we were a few months ago.
My suggestion would be to find the threads in the Development & Hacking forum and simply read through them to build up your knowledge base. This will take some time so be prepared.

Ummm ... you asked this very same question in this thread, and were given an answer (by me)
Why start a new thread with this, instead of reading answers to your last post on the issue?
-pvs
Search the Wizard thread for Faria's Kitchen, it has lots of information about cooking a ROM. Just remember that most of things might be the same for Hermes, but you cant put a wizard ROM on hermes and vice versa. Good luck, keep searching and reading. Follow the link in my signature as needed.
cheers all...
pvs - i'm sorry, I think I missed that thread.
Been so fustrated tring to find places for tutorials I forgot what I posted where.
I thougt someone may have a dummies way of cookin roms ready so they can post it as a reply on a new topic and it can be eaiser for others to find this solution.
It obviously now seems like there is ALOT of reading to do on this, and in multiple places.
okidoki peeps..
me off to it.
Thanks again to all!
As with most forums, users tend to ask the same noobie questions over and over again. This annoys a lot of forum members, including me.
Now I, myself, walked into the lamppost.... And got stuck with a few easy to answer questions.
So for the rest of the newbee questions, please add them to this topic.
=====================================================
1. How do I backup my current ROM? As in: What do I need and what do I need to do?
2. What is "Hard-SPL"? What does it do? What does it allow us todo? Is it risk free? Will it destroy my data? What happens to my current ROM?
Example:
I have a HTC Touch Diamond with ROM 1.35.404.4 NLD, so I downloaded this "Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex.zip" and extracted it. I run "ROMUpdateUtility.exe", screw the warnings ... then it asks me to update ....
Thats the point where my nerd brains start to think, but I clicked it ... pfiew ... it asked me to update from image version 1.35.404.4 to 1.30.OliNex.
Now is my question of course: "What does this do and what is the result?"
=====================================================
My excuse for the two noob questions, but I have crawled this forum for quite a while and couldn't bring up a unified answer or "walktrough".
This is my first Windows Mobile phone and with my background ... I really want to "mess things up", you know what I mean
just for laughs,
1) what is the size of the diamond in points?
3) Is it a brilliant or princess cut?
2) Is there any fluoresence?
3) Which certificate does it come with?
4) What is the clarity? - Im after atleast a VS1
5) What is the colour? - really need it to be perfect, like D
I did actually predict these kind of posts from one of the "higher ranked members" here...
But be serious, if you know where to find the information ... why not link it for us?
This would A, discourage alot of **** posts and B clarify usage and usability to other users.
Thanks in advance.
this has NOTHING to do with Diamond ROM Development and should be locked.
Hello all,
I've done some searching around and am getting a little bewildered with what seems like contradictory advice/instructions so can someone please give me a shove in the right direction.......
I have a orange UK kaiser and want to flash it with the full featured rom which will allow the use of touch flo as it was designed. I dont know why orange crippled the device in the first place but hey ho.
I've noticed some ROM's floating about that also add messenger as well as other apps, this is all good but I have no idea on the process of flashing the device, and with some of the posts I've seen on here about radio's not working etc after flashing I thought I better just check with someone who does know.
So i just need maybe a link to a definitive thread/post on flashing this particular phone along with the tools needed.
Here's the details I get when booting the phone up.
R: 1.27.14.32
G: 22.45.88.07h
D: 1.81.00.00
Thanks in advance
Go to kaiser rom development and read the stickies and gweni
Rory
Cheers mate, will do
