Where find WM5 ROM
I've see you already install the WM5, i really need to find that ROM for my XDAII can you give me a link to find it. I've try to buzz website but found ROM for Himalaya and the ROM version is 1.60.00WWE. I already upgrade my ROM into 1.72.00WWE from www.o2.co.uk but the OS is WinCE 4.20.
So is it ok to upgrade my O2 XDAII ROM with Himalaya XDAII ROM ? If something wrong can i rollback with older version ?

You cannot compare ROM numbers from (un)official WM 2003(SE) ROMs with those of unofficial WM 5.0 ROMs.
WM 5.0 1.60c ist much newer than WM 2003 1.72.xx

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

Hi Guys,
I want to upgrade my O2 XDA Orbit to WM 6.5 but can't find any thing on the internet... there are quite a few websites talking about it but none of them have a link for the software or the list of instructions to follow.

I need the link to the software and the instructions to follow.

because the web is Russian

2shared.com/file/10837516/5dc71470/Acer_N311_WM_6_5_23518_2010_01.html
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.

Some help needed

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)
