Hi
I have got O2 Xda orbit. Is there any way we could install new Windows on it without losing the old data e.g contact numbers, sms etc. ? And also whats the best way how to install new windows ? Further what's the benefit for changing the ROM version ?
Your early response is much appreciated.
Thanks in advance
If you are not sure what you are doing - do not try to change ROM!
The only way to save your data is to back it up to outlook or SIM. Do not use backup programs like SPB because they make ROM specific backup files.
Read the WiKi carefully! There are many risks when changing ROM and if not done carefully and correctly you can brick your device.
Different ROMs have different features. You need to decide what you are looking for and can't do with your current OS before you can choose a ROM.
Hellp guys. I am using a Gsmart i120. I recently upgraded my rom to WM6.5 eng-thai beta 3 version. Though it is good, I wish to rollback to WM 6 pro. Is it possible? How Can I do it??
Regard
PS: Flashing a WM 6 Official setup does not work. It boots back with same WM 6.5. Please help
Software needed
Ok guys I think my problem is that even after flashing a new rom, its not getting compltely formatted. Any suggestion there?
there is no rollback when one flash the rom one replace all of the os with a new one
only way to get back to the rom it came with is to download the rom it came with and flash that on again
Okay, i am a supernoob in this sphere, but i want to upgrade my Asus P535 from windows mobile 6.0 to windows mobile 6.1.
What is the way to upgrade my Phone?
Rom/Activesync/etc?
Thanks in advance.
You need to go to asusmobile.com or some similar forum that has the model you have. they will guide you trough the right process this is HTC forum
I know you're new, but it's really important to search before posting... The section of the forums you've made this thread in is only supposed to be used for ROM developers!
You need to find a ROM download thread on the site for your phone (like this one, but this is WM6.5) and yes, you will need to establish and maintain an ActiveSync connection in order to update the ROM. The procedure of flashing a ROM varies slightly from device to device so make sure you've read a tutorial before you begin so you know what you're doing. You need to back up all the files that aren't stored on external memory too as these will be deleted when you flash your new ROM.
I have P3300 with original windows mobile but I would like to update in some other OS, like windows phone 7 or andoir that works perfectly. Becouse I had downloaded android but it's very slow and I wasn't vibrator, sound, wireless. I don't know mabe I must download a drivers for android system that works everything perfectly.
...
as far as i know, android is very buggy.
wm7 will not and cannot run on the artemis/p3300.
however if you want wm6.5 or 6.1 the artemis can be flashed to this..
firstly you will need USPL 1.11.cmon
(click it in my signature to download it)
(i have put a tutorial inside the download)
once you have done USPL you can flash any rom to the artemis..
i would recomend andrew82's rom but that wm6.1..
if you want wm6.5 i would recomend babeluts rom..

Click to expand...
Click to collapse
Those are the same thing, you can't install WM6.5 without flashing the whole ROM.
You want the first link you posted, if you want the latest update. The second link you posted is from 2009.
So from the ROM update from the 1st link it will also install Windows 6.5 on my mobile? or it will just update the ROM?
Updating the ROM is flashing Windows Mobile to your phone. Windows is not installed like it is on your PC to a hard-drive. It is 'flashed' into the ROM of your phone (along with other useful Apps and drivers). Flashing a different ROM will give you a different version or flavour of WM. (TP2 can run WM6.1, WM6.5 or WM6.5.x).
Who is your carrier? I know that T-Mobile has an official Windows Mobile v6.5 ROM available for their T-Mobile branded phones. So you may want to check with your carrier to see if they have one for you.
I did try the official Windows Mobile v6.5 ROM from T-Mobile and it was OK. But I had already been trying out various WM 6.5.x ROMs off of XDA before I tried out their official ROM.
To try out a customized ROM from here you'll have to do a few things first. If you are using a GSM TP2 (ATT, T-Mobile, etc) I'd advise going to the Touch Pro 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development page and read through a few posts first, specifically the thread Flashing your first GSM Rhodium ROM (for Noobs).
If you are using a CDMA TP2 (Verizon, Sprint) I'd recommend going to the Touch Pro 2 CDMA page for threads about ROMs for the CDMA TP2 and then reading the thread RhodiumW Hard-SPL Release.
Then don't hesitate to ask questions. There are plenty of people here on these forums that are willing to help.
As stated before this is very dependent on the type of device which you own so be careful when doing so. If you have a GSM (Att/T-mobile) device look in the upgrades section for that if you have a CDMA device (Sprint/Verizon) look in the upgrades section there. Read how to unlock and then you can flash a 6.5 or even 6.5.x ROM which is the latest in windows mobile. Be aware that flashing a ROM will wipe all your data it is not a simple upgrade procedure, you will need to get all your contacts, settings, apps, etc back on your device on your own so make sure you backup everything beforehand.
Hello
This is my first post so hope I am not out of line replying here.
I recently received my TP2 with Windows 6.1 with ROM version of 1.19.702.2 Date: 06/22/09. Also from Hong Kong.
I am thankful to find this thread and the great info here. But I have a similar situation with some additional questions.
Do I post the questions here?
If you want a stock windows without void warranty, you can from official website HTC download actuall ROM. You must write there you P/N so they know if the upgrade is for your TP2. If not, change country at their site and try again till you find the right ROM.
Example: i could not download till i didnt change country to czech republic.
If you dont mind to void warranty, go to developing section
