The reason because i ask is, that i want to try WM6.5, so i will go on.
Is it possible to save all data on my phone and to restore it, if i decide to want to switch back to my current state rom with all messages / programms and so on from WM6.1
Help, suggestions, "anything" is welcome, feel free to answer.
sprite data backup does full back ups. SK Tools also has backups. Microsoft Myphone backs up all data, but not ROM info.
I would suggest going a different route tho, because restoring your ROM from a backup could cause issues. Back up your files only (text, pictures, contacts, etc) with Microsoft MyPhone. When you relfash your new rom, just log into myphone and download the information back to your phone. Also, another way to speed up the flashing process is to use XDA UC, which can silently re-install new programs after you flash your ROM.
what IS your current rom? is it stock?
More info would be nice.
If it is a stock rom that is already here then it shouldn't be a problem to go back, but if not, you'll have to dump the rom...

#1 My current rom is the standard Windows Mobile 6.1 Rom from o2 (live in germany)
#2 What u mean by Stock?
#3 @ More Info, i can free download a newer Windows Mobile Version - 6.5 - i think its a "providerabused" version - Link: o2online.de/nw/support/downloads/software/xda/htctouchpro2/htc-touch-pro2.html *can't post functionally link :<*
#4 What u mean by "shouldn't be a problem to go back" i thought that when i install WM6.5 that i loose my WM6.1, could you please tell me more about to restore the WM6.1 if i don't like the WM6.5?
#5 "you'll have to dump the rom..." Could you explain more?
Sorry that im not so experienced on that term, im an it guy, but this is new to me.
Would it be better to use an HTC WM6.5 instead of an o2 version?

When they are asking if it's a stock rom, that means have you flashed a new operating system on it (ie custom rom). Sounds like you haven't so you have the stock rom on there. When they say it shouldn't be a problem to go back, they mean you can always load the original rom that came with your phone, so give 6.5 a shot, and see how you like it. You can use microsoft myphone to backup your data. I use spb backup, but it's not free.
Personally, I would suggest you use a "cooked" rom by someone on here. As far as suggestions, just check out the rom section. Can't really say one is better than the other. Just back up your data, and flash away. Like I said, you can always load the original rom that came with your phone. Once you use a custom rom, you won't want to go back to the stock one. Hope this helps.

The stock roms from all the versions of the TP2 are available here in the forums, along with all the cooked/aftermarket ones. You can flash back to an earlier version of a stock ROM (like the o2 6.1 ROM) just like flashing to a newer stock (or cooked) one. In fact, you can switch official ("signed by HTC") ROM's without having to use HardSPL first...you only need that when you start to use cooked ROMs.
Is there a generel Toolsetup that i need?
Or is it simply a EXE that will do all on my phone by it self?
Other thing, is it whise to use custom oder cooked roms? i always think about securty in that term, so i dont want to keylog my data to anyone or, getting psycho if im think that, there could be software like trojans or keyloggers included.

XDA has wiki's and stickies for a reason. No offense, but you sound way to green to be doing anything without first doing a LOT of reading. Go to the Rhodium/Roms sub-forum and start reading ALL the wiki's and stickies. I'd suggest reading the ones in THIS sub-forum also. Once you have done this, and understand terminology as well as the device, then I'm sure it will be much easier to come back to this thread and understand what we are all suggesting to you. Good luck.

Sprite Backup is what you are looking for.
http://www.spritesoftware.com/sprite-backup
You can try it out for free. Use Device Upgrade option to restore to a WM6 rom.
As far as i know spritebackup does not do a ROM backup.
We have it and i did not see such possibility.
I was thinking more to dump ROM and modify nb files to create my own ROM after....
to customize it for our company and to flash it on every hermes laters on.
Maileen
yaa im looking for the same thing
cus if i don't like WM6 i wan't to go back to WM5
WM5 Backup
Mr. Vanx has a walkthrough on how to downgrade from WM6 to WM5. It is pretty easy. http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=41&Itemid=27
And your current ROM is probably somewhere in here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades.
So, use Sprite Backup and Mr. Vanx's tutorial and you can go back to your current state.
Aye, you could either 'dump' the current ROM using some of the many tools available here or just do as Larsuck suggests and just go ahead with your ROM change but download a copy of your original ROM before you start, just so you know you've got it safe.
As far as I know, most or all legit ROMs are freely downloadable.

why not ? there are lots of roms out there, check the wiki-pages
Choose your favourite, don't forget to run USPL before flashing and there should be no problem
....and please don't ask which rom is the best one - there are lots of threads about that and imo it's inadequate the say which one is the best.
All the cooks are trying to create great roms - it's up to you which one you like the most....
Yes you can upgrade or degrade
You can always upgrade to WM6 and downgrade to WM5 if you intend to change later. I have done it before many time installed different ROM's.
You only need to run USPL before any new ROM install.
I did this myself just the other day. You can get the official ROM from here for the UK XDA Orbit.

This one does'nt need USPL since it is the official ROM.

Thanks. Given how complex that looks I think I'll just use my XP machine to do it.
Am I right in thinking that upgrading like this will hard reset the device? That I'll need to reinstall all my programs and reinstate my appointments/contacts etc.? If so, can I create an SPB self-extracting backup on WM5 then run it on WM6 to get my config back?
I know there are lots of ROMs out there but I was just careful and used the standard O2 release:
http://xda.o2.co.uk/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
And yes, it clears out your machine unless you have installed the software on the SD card in which case it just gets confused.
But it is worth it.

Odd, that site won't accept my serial number... I have tried many different combinations of what it could be (swapping 0 for O etc.) but it keeps telling me it isn't valid.
Just use the link I provided, it is the same ROM. Using the other link you have to make sure that you use Internet Explorer, other brwsers don't work.
Will do then, cheers.
slow downloads
could someone please up the official O2 UK WM6 ROM for me please?
i've tried downloading from the aforementioned official websites. it starts out at a fine speed, then gets slower and slower until it eventually times out.
really want to upgrade, so if someone could upload the official rom to megaupload/rapidshare i would be much appreciative.
thanks
Here you go, fortunatly I still had it on my HD from when I upgraded mine.

cheers for that much appreciated. however it seemed to download fine this time, but i'll get urs as a back up too!
this is the official ROM right?

Yes it is the official ROM, I got it from the link I posted earlier in the thread.

I would use SPB Backup. It will backup all your contacts, settings, programs, etc... It even will allow you to restore all this when you upgrade to different roms. There is a setting for Rom upgrade mode.

Can't really say there is one rom that is better than the rest. You are just going to have to see which is best for you. Personally, I've tried Energy rom, Valkyrie, Josh's perfect black, athine, itje's, and a few others, but they all had there ups and downs. sense 2.1 is the fastest out there though, and the most stable. The 2.5 is pretty cool, but too slow for my taste.

thank you! anything like SPB that is free thou? does SPB make a rom file so i can just flash my phone with it incase i want to go back?
I've had my eye on the
|R|6.5.3|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM "Phoenix 2" 23518/21889 ★Jan 16★ Sense 2.1/Titanium ★
and thinking ill probably try it out soon....
what does the WWE stand for?
World Wide English.
SPB backups will not back up your rom per se I dont think. They will back up all the stuff that you put on your rom since you got the phone though.
There is a way to back up the stock rom but it involves some specialized tools that are available in the rom section. To restore your phone to what it is today after installing a cooked rom you would have to flash back the factory rom then restore your backup from SPB or sprite.
^^^ Thanks!!!
Downloading EnergyROM "Phoenix 2" right now...
gonna do some researching in the rom section to try and find away to backup my full rom. because i really love the fact of having full 3g internet with only my tzones package... hopefully someone can chime in about backing up my rom.

SPB Backup will only backup your programs, data, music, etc, but NOT the rom itself. Really, all you need to do is backup your data, and that way, you can just reload the default rom if you need to, then restore your data after that.
SPB is not free though....Microsoft has a free program that also works well called myphone.
Oh, and btw, I just flashed that same Rom (EnergyROM Phoenix 2) and lovin it.

HI All
on 20th july 2010, i bought new HTC touch pro 2. Being an outdated one, this model is one of mine favorites. After one day of purchase i tried to update my phone to windows 6.5 on HTC website but i was not able to do so because this the the phone was intended to be sold in netherland and not in Singapore. This statement was told to me by HTC customer care, then i called the seller and asked that what should i do. They didnt admit that they cheated on me and they advice me to download windows 6.5 from Netherlands website and i followed their instructions. When the update was finished the language of the phone was turned out to be in Dutch. I asked for help from the seller but they told to pay them exta sum to 50 dollars to restore or to install windows 6.1. I even contacted HTC customer care but they didnt help me out.
So guys, if anyone of you have orginal window 6.1 or orignal window 6.5 then please give the link to download the same. I am in a fix right now. I made a bad purchase and right now my money is on stake.
Please help me
Right now i am in Singapore.
If you want to go down the custom rom route, you should use hardspl to unlock your phone (instructions can be found in this rom development section) and then flash any rom you want. There's quite a few choices so you might want to try a few.

Yes, go to flashing your first GSM Rhodium topic and then choose a ROM.
If you're outdated (like me... ) I recommend a stock 6.1 rom, which I just love. I donno if you're staying in Singapur or not, then choose an Asia ROM.
Right now, it sounds like you're limited to Dutch ROMs, since that's where your phone was designed to be used. But as others have said, if you install HardSPL on your phone (see the sticky posting about it), then you will be able to choose from *any* official ROMs (either from HTC or from carriers) for the GSM Touch Pro 2, or any of the custom ROMs on this site.
So put on HardSPL, then it should be easy to get a ROM to meet your needs.

Not sure about language but I highly recommend McCune's Cosmik Debris Rom. FASTEST WM6.1 ROM and flawless. It doesn't come with any today plugins except the basic ones so you can install whatever you want (I installed sense 2.1 and it's fast as hell).
Once you try this one, you won't care to try any other ones . Just be sure to download the Connection Setup from somewhere (on the 2nd or 3rd post of the thread).

I think that hard spl is installed in the phone, because when i bought this phone it was loaded with windows 6.1 (english) after i update it to windows 6.5, i stucked up with dutch language.

I doubt it, it's probably just that you loaded a ROM that was compatible with your specific phone - i.e. if it's a Dutch TP2, then you'll be able to load Dutch official ROMs (but nothing else).
To check, you can put your phone into the bootloader and it will tell you the SPL version (don't worry, this won't harm your phone). Hold down the "Volume Down" button on the side, and press the reset button (and keep holding Volume Down). The phone will come up with a tri-coloured screen and a load of text. In there will be the SPL version, it will be something like 0.79, or 0.84, etc.
HARD-Spl
HARD SPLing your phone will void your guarantee, but you shouldn't worry about it.
Go to the noob session, HARD SPL is an exe, will "open" your phone in 2-3 minutes.
Then, you can flash any rom.
I do not know, if you need an asia rom just because you stay in asia.
Maybe not.
I use 6.1 stock rom, also called shipped rom.
Or just choose any.
I have this if this (6.1)is what you are looking for.

hi guys....i dont know anything about htc artemis...i mean...if needs some kiind of unlock...or etc....i want to flash a new custom or original rom... wm 6.5 or 7... or android if its possible...but i want greek language....can anyone help me.. pls..?
I need details pls...because as i said i dont know anything...the only experience i have is with the samsung galaxy s 2 that i own... thanks
If I remember correctly, you should at first unlock your Artemis with USPL. Stick to the instructions and nothing bad should happen.
Then choose a ROM from here and install it (there should be instructions how to do this in ROM's thread or in readme.txt).
You can't flash Android or Windows Phone 7 on this device - it's just too weak. Of course, there were some guys who tried to port Android, it booted, yeah, but only few things worked (calling and touchscreen :E, no wifi, gps, audio) and it was very slow.
There are some WinMo 6.5 roms, but I wouldn't recommend them - on my P3300 they were usable, fully working, but kinda slow, so I flashed back to 6.1.
Check some ROMs and choose the one that you think will work the best.
Oh. Remember: before flashing remove SIM and SD card, and after that, do a hard reset.
If you still have any questions or you're unsure about something, ASK. We will not kill you and you will not brick your Artem.
thanks my friend.....ur the best....i ll try it when i ll be in home.... of course i want full fuctions of the phone...gps..wifi and etc....so...i ll try 6.1...or 6.5...or 7.. XD but what about greek language...is there a hope to find something ?
Have a look on the forums, there are multilanguage ROMs here. I'm pretty sure you will find at least one with greek language.
Also you won't find Windows 7 roms, Artemis is too weak for this.
i was thinking about a little overclocking...so that it can run the os
thx man i ll check it.... another question...when i finish the unlocking...with uspl...i must flash the rom immediatle...i mean this process erasing the rom...or i can open it again with my old rom....and then flash a new rom..?
No worries, you don't have to flash new ROM right away. USPL just unlocks your phone, it doesn't delete your old ROM.
But you should make a backup of everything, like contacts etc. because flashing new ROM erases everything.
About greek ROMs - I haven't found any, but I found this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=336252
oooooooooooooooooooo my friend your the best....thats better....cause i can use it in every rom.... XDDD !!!
Well... I wouldn't be so sure about that. It's old and it may be not compatible with WM6/6.5. It's worth trying though.
