[Q] HTC_Desire A8181 to WM6.5 - Desire Q&A, Help & Troubleshooting

Is it possible to put a WM6.5 rom in the HTC Desire in stead of android.
It's a dutch KPN phone.
I ask it for a friend, who couldn't get a HTC HD2 anymore by contract.
So he has now the Desire but with Android while he was counting on WM6.5.
I hope there is one so he can work more suitable with the Desire.
He also want to use the phone as internet port for his laptop trough USB, but i can't find any solutions for this for him without costs.
Thanks in advance everyone.

I so want to subscribe to this thread.... I can see the answers already!
"WHY?" "Are you serious?" "Is this a joke?" PPPP

May I suggest the "search" feature?
To answer your question. NO it is not possible. Winmo is closed source and costs money per copy. So fist someone would need to ensure and/or port all drivers to work on desire and spent money on each copy installed on a phone.
TL;DR no it wont work.

-.-
Not again.

Oke, before everybody ask me if i'm crazy to go to WM6.5, the answer is NO !!
But my friend is used to WM6.5 and is an older person who is not familiar with Android and has difficulties to change every time with all this electronical stuff.
KPN did not told him about Android and when you unpack the phone and allready used him once, than you can't return it. So thats why i asked these 2 questions.
I'm sorry if i hurt someone.
Thanks allready for the replies

I dont think that he will not get used to android.... so just give him some days.

oke, we will see what happens.
Thanks all

i would like to know how to that exactly....and pls try to help me get the concept of ROM
Your best bet is to search this forum thats how we all learn how to do it. The tools to unlock your BA can be found on the ftp site and all information you require are their on the wiki link at top of the page here.

Hi Dreadlord,
In a nutshell, yes, it is possible to update your unit.
My personal recommendation to you is that you stay with what you have. Presently, there are few advantages that you, as an end user, would gain from an upgrade to WM5. Perhaps, it's just an appearance issue..?
To Upgrade a BA to WM5 requires some end user knowledge of the day to day running of the device and if you're having problems understanding the daily terms within posts here then you might end up damaging your BA.
Don't forget that these ROMS are not official releases. They are patched reverse engineered Operating Systems that still, at this stage, feature bugs & code issues. Granted they are getting better with each release and I strongly believe that one day they'll be a "plug & Play" version that people can just load and use..
This is why I presently am running the latest 1.42 WWE ROM for WM2003SE.. Yes, I have updated my BA to WM5 several times but I have always downgraded again to WM2003SE as so far as I rely on my BA too much for it to use [compared to WM2003SE] an unstable system.
Another thing is that the majority of users on this forum have all had to read the wiki on here and learn. There's very few people who are lucky enough to have this kind of information in their brains already. (Click the link in my Signature to start reading Wiki)
You might not get a good response from others on here if you reply in bold (or caps) stating that you don't understand things - It's not their fault you don't know..
Hope this helps..
Cheers!
Blah Blah.. etc etc.. Hehe
My previous post was my 100th - I'm an an old salt now.. hehe.. Apologies for not being around lately.. I've been in a different country!
Hope all is well with everyone..?
I've noticed the high degree of work that's been done lately on WM5 and all I can say is:

how to upgrade my HTC touch from wm 5 to 6.1?

hi friends, i am very sorry to bother you all and i know that i am breaking the rule. even then i am not bothered about it, i totally abide by whatever the decision the administrator takes....
i just want one answer....
i want to know how to upgrade my HTC TOUCH 5 to 6.1 version windows mobile....
i went through the forum again and again, i didnt understand/ find any information about it.
i also didnt understand what is radio, rom/kitchen ware etc...
is there any site/ tutorial where everything including what is what about the upgrading of windows mobile.... please just give me an answer...
i am a big fan of this site since i have found out by chance.... i am visiting it regularly..... i am waiting for the response pls.....

What about a petition to get an android ROM from HTC ?

I am not very good at that but I am totally fed up with Windows Mobile 6.1...
HTC has all the code to put android on Diamond...
Whether they can create a great buzz by opening all the drivers code for Diamond, wether create the ROM themselves but :
LET US HAVE a quickly a stable (not tweacked) ANDROID on Diamonds !!!
Anyone to take the flag and move on ?
Cheers.
I'm sorry to rain on your parade, but I don't think HTC will have any interest at all to offer Android on any existing devices. There is simply no money in it.
HTC will want to use Android to market new devices.
That said, make a petition and I'll sign it. There are services for petitions availible on the internet.

Bye!
The biggest problem here is, that HTC has nothing to say about this. Rather try google

You could just flash a stock HTC rom or flash one of the custom ROMs here. Either way, you will have a branded-free phone. Just check the threads and find a ROM that you like. Since you almost certainly have a GSM phone, don't flash a CDMA (Sprint) ROM as that will most likely brick your phone.
If you ask the XDA wiki these same questions, you will find your answers in details.
2 simple steps:
1: hardspl
2: flash a rom from the forum
...
3: rt*m
have a look here this helped me alot at first.

being difficult is all part of the jounery here
when you are going to flash you will lose all data on the internal memory you will find some free backup software on this site to use.
I have Vista and windows mobile center works well for me.
good luck

Use PPC PimBackup for SMS's, contacts etc.
For programs, think about using sashimi.
You can TRY Sprite Backup, but I wouldn't recommend it as a primary solution.
Last but not least, use the search feature.
Questions similar to yours have been answered A LOT of times previously.
Help yourself, and you will be helped. Don't expect us to spoon feed you.

Not necessarily true. A diamond is much easier to unlock (yellowsn0w isn't a true unlock anyways).

no no, buy an iphone... it's really much easier to unlock. pls do it...
Please take time to read the Diamond wiki pages and search the forum, you're not the first noob on this site, and if everyone of them created thier own thread, what state would the forum be in
There are forum guidelines for a reason.
Thanks

how to solve the problem about htc hero bluetooth transfer files?

hi everybody ,I use bluetooth very often ,and the bluex doesn't work with the htc hero ,so I want to know how to solve the problem about htc hero bluetooth transfer files?
best thanks!
simple.
1) you wait for Bluex or Androbex to be updated to work on the hero
2) you root your phone
3) you buy Bluex or Androbex and install it.
searching would have given you the same answer instead of opening yet another thread....
thanks for your reply
and you mean now we don't have any method to solve this problem.
Best wishes to the bluetooth problem on hero!
yep.
there is simply no solution at this time.
I know the guys who make bluex and androbex are working on it so hopefully it won't be long.
yeah, good how they dont tell you it dont work BEFORE you buy it. I think google needs to address this and only show apps that are proved compatible with your particular device to stop 2 bit devs profiting from out of date apps
you can try every app, if it doesnt work just deinstall it and you get your money back (in a time of 24h), and that works... so, where is your problem?!
