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

Downgrade Artemis to WM 5

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
Artemis87

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?

O2 XDA Orbit Upgrade

Please could someone help me out with upgrading my O2 XDA Orbit?
I've had the device from new for just over a year but I've never been able to update it via the "Windows Update" function within settings/system, I'm currently running ROM version: 3.4.206.2.WWE dated 18/4/07 and Windows version CE OS 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.0.2.3).
Ideally I’d like to “safely & reliably” upgrade it to WM6.1 but if that’s not possible then the latest version of WM6 with as many bugs fixed as possible, an idiots guide would also be appreciated!
I apologise but I’m on a really bad connection at the moment and it’s taking forever to navigate from one page to another, if this information is already available please point me in the right direction.
Many thanks
SGL

Excellent, thank you for this.
Are there any recommended ROM's?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462852

Thank you very much for this.

MDA TOUCH PLUS - WM 6.1/6.5 Upgrade...?

Hi folks!
Sorry - I am a complete novice to ROM upgrades etc...
I have an MDA Touch Plus Mobile with T-Mobile, running Windows Mobile 6.0.
I want to upgrade to WM 6.1 or 6.5, however the HTC website suggest that my phone (via S/N number) is not valid for the 6.1 upgrade...
T-Mobile support is worse than pathetic and offer no advice at all...
Can anyone suggest if it's possible to get the upgrade for my phone and how I would go about it...?
( Remember I'm a novice to Rom upgrades!)
P.S.
Many thanks and aplogies to those guru's out there who have gone through this issue a million times with folk like me...
- As a Db Progress developer I can relate - Give me a Progress DB and I'm happy, give me a car with a broken Altenator and I pass....
Cheers
Ron

First install the Hard SPL boot loader, after that install a custom rom with wether wm6.1 or wm6.5.
Take a deep look http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=404 here.
Everything you need can be found THERE.
Check out the HardSPL thread and then start reading about custom roms.
If you have any questions : read again. If you still have any questions : read again...

here you are (add www in front of the address), but it´s the newer version WM 6.5 23518 for Acer N311. It´s the russian version, so if you can´t read their pages (4PDA) I don´t think you will be able to operate the system...but, it´s your choice ;-)
anyway we will have to wait further for translation...

Thank you very much

Test
Hi guys,
Did someone test it? Any updates?
Thanks

Hi, tested WM6.5 ROM 23518 release date 2010/5/02..there is no newer since this date. Tested on Acer N311, it´s slower than WM6.1 Football Edition and also uses more memory...that influenced mainly using the PDA as GPS navigator (iGO8 navigation software had serious problem caused by insuficient memory space). I´m going to upgrade my PDA to 128MB RAM and then try again. =) have a nice weekend!

Trying to install WM 6.5 on my Acer n300
Hi Guys,
I know this thread is quite old, but hopefully someone will answer me.
I'm trying to upgrade my Acer n300 (WM 5.1.476 (Build 15704.3.5.0) to
WM 6.5.
I've downloaded potatoheads file (thanks), but am stumped as to what to do next.
I'm quite technical, but am a complete noob when it comes to flashing mobile devices.
Any help appreciated.
Rom version is 1.00.24
firmware version is 2.6
Bootloader version is 1.24
Thanks
John (aka Teleportist)

Update.
Managed to flash my N300 with the two files by putting them on my SD card and performing a hard reset.
Had some initial problems with the Wi-Fi card not displaying its MAC address, but that seemed to clear itself.
Also installed SPB Mobile Shell. All-in-all this has given my n300 a new lease of life.
Thanks for making these files available.

will try this tonight
Went through my old things and found my acer n311. Having bought it and used it for about 6 months, it then got put in a box and never seen again after getting a blackberry and a sat nav.
Going to try this ROM tonight and carry on searching for a good resource to let me know how I can get the most out of this device. Otherwise ill end up just puting it on eBay. Cheers

Hi, I know this thread is more dead than myself but, anyone has the build 28217? Or something near it?.
I have the only one I could find (aka the one is uploaded on mediafire on this thread) but I have a problem with the bluetooth and some stuff.
If anyone could just search on their hard drive for it, like searching n311 or something, would be helpful. Thanks

Hi, there, I just found out that acer n311 is the good old fashioned pda that has 64mb of ram. I seriously recommend you to stay away from wm6.5 altogether unless you have something like htc hd2(and even thete I did install wm6.1) and instead source out a good custom wm 6.1 rom which does everything that wm6.5 does, but faster, because 6.5 is just a bloated wm 6.1.
I had wm6.5 once on my hx4700 that I still use, the start menu alone makes the os use 10mb more ram than wm6.1, so yeah just get rid of it. Besides wm is the best when it tries to be wm not iPhone.
