Radio Upgrade
I would like to know if it is possible to upgrade to the latest Radio version without Hard Resetting the BA. Also the link to the Radio version 1.15 seems to be broken as it only links to version 1.13
Please can you help
Thankyou
Rob

WM6?
Long time BA user, tried every WM5 ROM out there and just wish I was technical enough to try building one myself but I'm not. Just wondering though; since there are so many WM6 ROMS for the Wizard, and since the first WM5 ROMS were ported from Wizard... shouldn't we be able to get WM6 on the BA?

I was able to flash the radio after my WM5 upgrade.

PLS where is the guide and rom for upgrade BlueAngel from W2003se to W5? Wery thanks

Original thread of my ROM(On Russian)
A17 ROM

Hi Football,
Glad to see you post yr rom here since I can't read Russian in yr original thread (I saw yr post on Aximsite before and too bad that post get removed).
Any idea why the CF is not working? This rom is not useful for me if CF is not working.

Good to hear, glad you did what you did for us X51v users.
I think I'll finally install it.
Good luck on the exams.

Very good luck on your up and coming exams, fingers crossed for you.
Excellent work on the ROM, just installed it on my X51V and its sooo much smoother and faster.
Can't wait for you to bring the next one out, hopefully more features of WM6 and the CF working
All the best

@football
Can you plz upload the dll files so that we can change the system icons? It is possible to change them by replacing the original files in windows folder, right?

By the way, I have a x51v too.

Yes it's possible, copy shellres192.dll from windows folder and use reshacker to replace icons,after use Resco Explorer and replace original shellres.Then reboot device and you have new icons in your device.But if you have problems install cab from attach.

WOW, I never expected to find anything non-HTC on xda-developers!
I too have a X51v as well besides the HTC Blueangel and find AKU 2.3.0 from Dell's A12 ROM tired and boring.
Thank you very much!

The Axim X51v is produced by HTC for DELL, you can see on the ABOUT tab of WLAN utility that it's made by High Tech Computers (HTC).

Will this work on a axil x30 or does anyone know of any wm6 cooked rom for this. I still have this old model and thought I could maybe upgrade it to make it usable again

your work is greatly appreciated Football. it's a smart move to publish yours and your team's work here instead of aximsite. im looking forward to your latest stable ROMs. thanks!

Nice work football! is there any chance you could make a QVGA version because i have an X51 it would be great if you can. Thanks,
Kurt
P.S goodluck with your exams

i just wanted to say, thanks football, i havn't tried your rom yet, but when CF is fixed, i likely will. i was referenced to this thread from aximsite, and i'm signed in here for a different reason.
anyways, keep up the awesome stuff. i'll keep tuned in for the updated (CF Working) version, and the WM6 build (if there ever is one )

I installed the ROM and a german axim and everything (besides CF) works. The axim is now way faster, more stable and I got more free memory.
Thank you football!!

WOW ,Perfect I am waiting for WM6 in my AXIM 51v , Good job

Can I Update my Orbit from WM5 to WM6 ?

Is it possible to update the OS yet to WM6 ?
Thanks
Be kind I did try a search but not knowing what to look for its not easy

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.
http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/O2UKRuuDownload.aspx?sn=SZ721FX00383&refer=http://www.my-xda.com/xdaOrbitSoftware.html
This one does'nt need USPL since it is the official ROM.

I think I'm going to go this route. That site says I need Activesync 4.5 - however I'm on Vista and using the Sync Centre application - will this do?

Have a look at this thread Anjow
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317589&highlight=vista
I think it has everything you need.

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.
http://www.megaupload.com/?d=WOEXBYKO

thanks!
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?
thanks again

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

I Need the *Official* AT&T 8525 WM6 ROM

Hey,
I have read a bunch of posts and wiki'd the tools I'll need to upgrade my AT&T 8525 from WM5 to WM6, however I'm having a hard time finding the stock, official rom from AT&T.
I found this download off the HTC site:
http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=65&act=sd
I'm not sure if this one is comming straight from AT&T or HTC, however if you guys don't think it will matter or do any harm to my device, I'll just follow the directions there and ActiveSync the whole thing clean and clear.
If anyone does know of a download directly off of an official AT&T site, that would work fine as well.
Thanks!

Which wiki did you read?
This one here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
returns this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available Original Shipped WM6 ROM Versions
which in turn, returns this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/8229101..._6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe.html

Clever to put an exclamation mark in the heading to make more people read it thinking that there's a new ROM available.

Actually, I had no intention of misleading you to believe that there is a new ROM available, my apologies if it seemed that way.

What is the least painful way to upgrade to WM6.1

Or 6 just to get the flashy bars. If there was a cab method I would prefer that. because being a novice I don't want to edit the registry. So what am i going to do in the end? What type of setup?

NO cab's! Only way is to flash the wm6 or wm6.1 OS rom. This guide explains it all in detail: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299462
See veykas Sticky FAQ thread if U have further questions...Happy Flashing!

1st thing, Flash Hard SPL v7 onto your Hermes... Check in the upgrading section for this as it is generally one of the 1st 3 threads... Check out post 1160 (page 116) on how to do this with the sd card method.
I prefer the sd card method as its, I believe, safer than using the pc.
Flashing an OS by sd card is slightly different than flashing Hard SPL as, since you now have Hard SPL, you don't need SSPL.exe. Drop steps 5 & 6 of the sd card flashing instructions you find in the post above.
Cheers...

I am of the opinion that most people should stick with the "stock" AT&T v6.0 ROM. It will give them what they need with reasonable performance. Playing with custom ROMs should be look at as an avocation rather than a vocation. However, that being said, I'll probably keep experimenting with custom ROMs for a little longer.

I cant understand the difference between a rom and an intricate shell

are you ON something?

please elaborate what is a wm6 if not the same thing I got from the att website if so what's the point of ROMs are the bundled with their own software packages because I can see how that can be hindering to your platforms. Maybè 6.1 is an upgrade. What is WM6ROM?

you will see if you flash the shipped wm6 ROM, comparing that to VP3G's 'official' with less programs in them. With 6.1 it includes threaded messaging, and seems to be faster than the wm6 and you can have a working flash lite 3.1 with opera so you can play youtube videos off opera beta. Do some reading, obviously you have not read enough.

Maybe I will, I use vtap for youtube videos
