Hello! Everyone,
I am desperately need some help. It's almost six months since I read about flashing custom roms and until now I can't find the courage to do it. For I don't muster enough knowledge (I think) in doing it.
I have an HTC Universal running in wm5. I want to flash it into wm 6.5. Is there some body who can forward me the suitable ROM and help me in the process of upgrading it? I really want to flash it to WM 6.5 so I can install cool looking GUI of e book reader in my device and some more eye candy stuffs.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Have a look on my signature link, you´ll find all you need to upgrade.
Hello, Orb!
Hello! Orb,
It would really help me if you can point out what are the preliminary things I need to do than saying click your signature.
That is really what you did last time I ask about how to upgrade my Unit. Until now It gave me no confidence because I don't know where will I begin. I hope you can re consider helping me out. Thanks!
read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
I can tell you that the only way you´ll get to flash is to read a lot, we all started same as you, first of all loose the fear, if you follow the instructions all will be fine.
Said that you need to read my signature link, try looking in there for:
Instruction Guide For The Htc Universal Rom Upgrading
It was not so hard, isn't´it?
Good luck,
At least tell me the benefits of flashing ROM? Why will I flash my Device from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6?
Thank you so much!
More than benefits it´s an addiction for some of us
And of course you also have benefits, better, newer versions and so on
Nothing else I can´t say if you don´t flash
Good luck!
Hello! Orb,
I hope everything is fine at your end.
Regarding the upgrading/flashing of my device. What are the things that one could get if he/she flashed her device? In other words why would someone wants to upgrade his/her device?
What I mean by this question is, is there any reason why would a dopod 900 user like me would want to upgrade from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6.1? What are the things that I can do if I will upgrade?
Yes I think there would be some nice applications that can only be installed in Windows Mobile 6.1 or Windows Mobile 6.5 however, if I just install a program that would do a make over of my GUI, SPB mobile shell for instance, everything will be like the same even if it has different Versions of Windows Mobile for I am using the same alternative shell for my device as a GUI.
Any insights? or word of wisdom that could enlightened me? Thank you so much!

Im new to this arena and im looking to upgrade my X50 (Pocket PC 2003)i would like to do WM6 but i dont know if its possible. It seems like all of the successful flashes occur with the VGA versions. Can i flash my X50 with it, and the same question goes for WM5. I cant find any rom that has the standard X50 in the title. I dont want to brick it so im being alittle careful. Can someone point me in the right direction?

It's great that you're being careful! You have to be one of the smartest X50 users I've seen lately in this forum! Currently, the only WM5 and WM6 ROMs in this forum that I'm aware of are for the VGA Axims only. Those would be the X50v and X51v. You cannot flash either of the X50v ROMs to your X50, unfortunately. You will end up with a brick as many X50 users have found out the hard way. Yes, some have recovered successfully, but it's definitely not a good thing for your blood pressure/stress level. I wish I had some better news for you, but that's about all I can tell you. You probably already have done this, but a quick search or two in these forums will probably confirm (or disprove) my answer. Perhaps an X50 user somewhere along the way will come up with a ROM for X50s.
so how would i go about creating a rom for wm5 for my x50?

Start researching...
Honestly, I have not created a ROM before. I know how to do some basic ROM stuff, but I don't know how to build/modify one to create a working one for another device. There are lots of helps in these forums if you take the time to find them. Obviously, making a working ROM is a lot of work and something that should not be taken lightly. There are lots of different ways to brick a device by poorly building a ROM. However, if you're really serious about it, I'm sure you will have the drive to do your research and find answers. Some more experienced ROM creators who have experience with Axim devices are Football and MagLite_RUS. They might be able to give you some direction. Good luck.
Hi everyone,
I have just purchased a vodafone version of htc hermes, the v1605. I have unlocked the phone to be used locally here, and I have upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.1. I forgot whose ROM I have downloaded, but the new ROM has no microsoft office, which is one of the main reasons why I bought this phone.
I found another ROM, the TNT 1933 that has the latest microsoft office and a bunch load of other useful programs. But the problem is, I have loaded too many programs and softwares, wasted too much time to customize the phone to my liking, so I don't really wanna flash another ROM again and lose all the settings and data.
So, I was hoping that you can help me to where I can install the program without having to flash a whole new ROM. Thanks a bunch, in advance.

Hey Guys i just got tp2 , however i dont know quite alot about windows mobile as i was a symbian user
I have a series of questions that i hope can find an answer
As we all know tp2 comes with windows mobile 6.1 and i have seen several leeks of 6.5 provided by XDA , my question is as follow can i install it normally and download it directly to my phone ?? or is their another way to get windows 6.5 to My tp2?
Second question is i really wanna know whats the benefits of doing Hard SPL , and whats the benefits of roms like energy rom? do they replace touch flo or something or the whole windows mobile? if anyone would just give me an insight to why one would want to use Hard SPL and constantly get new roms
Third: it also mentions with energy rom that it is windows 6.5 does this mean i must have windows 6.5 leaked version installed? or energy rom installs windows 6.5 by default to my phone?
Finally if i did install those roms could i download default windows applications like say coreplayer for example? or that wont be allowed ??
Thanks in advance and i hope my questions could find an answer!

to install any custom rom on your device, you need to have hardspl on your device. hardspl allows you to install these custom roms otherwise you would get an error and nothing would happen. the benefit is that these roms are tweaked and dont come with all the bloat ware that your cell providers cram a phones with. you must read the instructions though as you can damage your phone to the point of it not working anymore. as for apps, if they are built for windows mobile 5.0 and up, chances are that they will work, although some apps dont run at 800x480 resolution. some apps require .NET Framework 2.0 or 3.5. you can download that through microsoft. and as far as windows version, that gets installed with the rom. so if it says 6.1 in the discription then you will be running 6.1 and so on. by installing these roms, you get an experience tailored more to your need instead of what a company puts out for everyone.
hope this helps

To answer your third questions...energy rom will install windows mobile 6.5 on your phone while it loads. There is no other steps necessary. (Besides Hard spl'ing first)
To answer your last question...Yes, you will be able to install coreplayer. You should be able to install any win mob program for that matter.

1st step: Hard-SPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
2nd step: Backup all your data (if needed)
3rd step: install the rom you want, be carefull, it´s a very addictive step.
Happy flashing.
Hello.
I have a diamond with standard rom2.03.401.2 WWE.
SPB shell and s2u finally grew old and i want a new ROM. I want it to have Windows Mobile 6.5.5 Office 2010 and opengl drivers (for best performance). I want it clean and simple, nothing more than what i stated above and maybe sense 2.5.
I need help to find such a rom, and flashing help. I never flashed a non-official version. I've read the tutorials, but i want you to give me ROM recommendations and indicate which HardSPL i need to use and some basic instructions on what to do.
Thank you a lot.
Anyone ? Please help.
There are many WM6.5 ROMs in this forum, just try any one of them and choose which one you like best.
HTH.
