I have TP2 with Windows 6.1 with ROM version of 1.19.702.2 Date: 06/22/09
Now I want to update it to Windows 6.5 and latest ROM
Will directly installing from following link, will it install Windows 6.5 and update ROM to latest as well?

Those are the same thing, you can't install WM6.5 without flashing the whole ROM.
You want the first link you posted, if you want the latest update. The second link you posted is from 2009.
So from the ROM update from the 1st link it will also install Windows 6.5 on my mobile? or it will just update the ROM?
Updating the ROM is flashing Windows Mobile to your phone. Windows is not installed like it is on your PC to a hard-drive. It is 'flashed' into the ROM of your phone (along with other useful Apps and drivers). Flashing a different ROM will give you a different version or flavour of WM. (TP2 can run WM6.1, WM6.5 or WM6.5.x).
Who is your carrier? I know that T-Mobile has an official Windows Mobile v6.5 ROM available for their T-Mobile branded phones. So you may want to check with your carrier to see if they have one for you.
I did try the official Windows Mobile v6.5 ROM from T-Mobile and it was OK. But I had already been trying out various WM 6.5.x ROMs off of XDA before I tried out their official ROM.
To try out a customized ROM from here you'll have to do a few things first. If you are using a GSM TP2 (ATT, T-Mobile, etc) I'd advise going to the Touch Pro 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development page and read through a few posts first, specifically the thread Flashing your first GSM Rhodium ROM (for Noobs).
If you are using a CDMA TP2 (Verizon, Sprint) I'd recommend going to the Touch Pro 2 CDMA page for threads about ROMs for the CDMA TP2 and then reading the thread RhodiumW Hard-SPL Release.
Then don't hesitate to ask questions. There are plenty of people here on these forums that are willing to help.
As stated before this is very dependent on the type of device which you own so be careful when doing so. If you have a GSM (Att/T-mobile) device look in the upgrades section for that if you have a CDMA device (Sprint/Verizon) look in the upgrades section there. Read how to unlock and then you can flash a 6.5 or even 6.5.x ROM which is the latest in windows mobile. Be aware that flashing a ROM will wipe all your data it is not a simple upgrade procedure, you will need to get all your contacts, settings, apps, etc back on your device on your own so make sure you backup everything beforehand.
Hello
This is my first post so hope I am not out of line replying here.
I recently received my TP2 with Windows 6.1 with ROM version of 1.19.702.2 Date: 06/22/09. Also from Hong Kong.
I am thankful to find this thread and the great info here. But I have a similar situation with some additional questions.
Do I post the questions here?
If you want a stock windows without void warranty, you can from official website HTC download actuall ROM. You must write there you P/N so they know if the upgrade is for your TP2. If not, change country at their site and try again till you find the right ROM.
Example: i could not download till i didnt change country to czech republic.
If you dont mind to void warranty, go to developing section

I lost my data due to a crash. I need the Official ROM for the AT&T 8525. They only posted it on the HTC web site for a little while (why, I don't know?)
It is:
ROM version 3.62.502.3
ROM date 10/11/07
Radio version 1.54.07.00
Protocol version 32.86u.7020.23H
I live in USA and have an English phone, AT&T is my carrier.
Would someone kindly point me to a download link for this if it's available somewhere?
I've searched here a lot, but can't discern between all the new third party ROMs. I haven't done any hacking to my AT&T, just need the original WM Pro 6 ROM.
thanks,
Charlie

Ok, I think this maybe the one you are looking for: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316726&page=29
This thread does talk about the official HTC ROM update, but it doesn't have any working links. Several links there (like to HTC's web site) don't work. I remember HTC saying that the download of this new Windows Mobile 6 ROM for the 8525 would only be available until Feb. 08... Would someone have it somewhere that they could please upload somehow?
Many Thanks!
Edited: the next post has the factory 6.0 ATT rom..
I just needed this due to a hard reset from Faria-R32. I've flashed AT&T 3.62
http://download.america.htc.com/RUU...502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe with radio 1.54.07 as some have indicated that it's a good way to avoid the HR problem on the new WM6.1 roms that have been coming out.
Cheers
Htc/at&t 8525/wm6
If you're looking for the WM6 update from the HTC site, it's still posted.
Here are the instructions and update:
HTC/AT&T 8525/WM6.
Does anyone know if there's an official windows mobile 6.1 update for the at&t 8525 yet? I'm looking forward to upgrading, but I keep reading people are having issues with their phones locking up and the only way to fix it is to do a hard reset.

I KNOW that currently there ISN'T one, if that helps. I have no idea if there are any plans to release one on or after April Fools' day, though. I would like to know the answer to THAT question. Anyone????

Hello folks,
i am kinda new here, but i already spend three hours of searching on Wiki section of Hermes and this forum onto how to upgrade my Windows Mobile 5 to version 6.1.
I decided to choose a custom made ROM of Windows 6.1. Before i did the HardSPL upgrade, and now there is something i need to ask you guys.
Do i have to be afraid of screwing the device doing a straight upgrade to 6.1 from 5 ? I could find any clues on this.
Please give advice, thank you so much.
My advise is to go the 6.0 first purely for upgrading your radio to the latest release then flash with any 6.1 you want.
that emerges one more question- i am using the vodafone branded Hermes from UK in Slovakia /middle europe, so i should proceed to flash Win Mobile 6.0 first with which provided version of Win for best results ?
thatx again

Looks like it's got a 1.47.00.10 radio, so any of those will do ... actually best to follow this from day 1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1990320&postcount=6
Edit my 4shared as the att stripped ROM without radio as flashing too many radios can lead to a brick, so yeah
i just checked my radio version, its 1.32.00.00. sry for one more question, but i am totally new and this device costed me so much
which version can i use now ? please tell me the exact name
other details:
windodws mobile 5.1.461 (build 15671.3.3.0)
rom version 2.04.161.2
rom date 01/19/07
radio version 1.32.00.00
protocol version 32.65.7020.09W
HARD SPL YOUR PHONE 1ST!!!!!!!!!
Just about EVERY cooked rom has this as the header.
At least if something goes wrong you have a chance to recover your "expensive" toy.
If you don't have it and something goes wrong, like for example you don't have a superCID device and flash a different carrier rom, you may be able to fix it instead of getting an expensive paperweight..... READ the tutorials, thats what they're for, so we don't have people calling for help. So many people would still have a functional phone if they took the time to do a bit of research.

Good morning icefirsr,
I'm pretty new at this as well, and have flashed my phone over a dozen times in the last week. Believe me, three hours is not enough research time yet. There are many things to learn, and some of these folks are extremely knowlegable about this stuff.
Those of you with a lot of experience, please correct any of the following you don't agree with.
This is what I have done, after reading a lot of different threads:
1) Do a HARD SPL first.
2) Unlock the phone, both cid and sim
3) Read about radios - I've settled on 1.47.30.10 - it seems to be doing well with both battery life and signal reception.
4) LEARN about the different types - NonRBSN, RBSN, lite, normal, full, compressed, non-compressed. Each has stengths and weaknesses concerning speed, storage utilization, stability, features - it goes on and on.
I've flash different flavors, and am on DVH_V27_NoBS. It's a 6.1 ROM, and so far, it is great. I believe it was released on 10/30/2008.
**(Please excuse my sig for not stating my configuration, been flashing too much, but may have settled on this one for a bit.)
I've been impressed with many - I like the PDACorner roms, version 11 was my first ever flash. I'm waiting on V27 to be re-released, the first iteration I had a few problems with, but liked the speed it offered, and especially like the CRC Device Update and Connection Wizard that was included. Speaking of CRC, I really like V13, and was using it before the current DVH rom I'm using - am anxious for V14, which may even be out now.
That said, this is addicting, even bought another 8525 on eBay for play/flashing purposes...
Could any of the more experienced folks please add to this? I don't want to lead anyone down the wrong path.
Thanks a bunch everyone.

please dont use caps, especially, when you are not right here, my first post already said that i did HARD SPL first
Johnzai thank you for a such long response, i am looking forward to flashing it, but i am still a bit afraid of flashing it from 5.0 to 6.0, because i dont know , which of the official 6.0 ROMS with radio update should i use to finally get to 6.1, i just cant find it anywhere

I would advise trying to download the official release from your cell provider first. I'm not sure if it's necessary to go from 5 to 6 to 6.1 - but verify this first. I would think you could go straight to 6.1 - perhaps upgrade your radio first to version 1.47.30.10 - I've used that version on both 6 and 6.1.
With the radio upgraded, then you could flash any 6.1 - as long as you've unlocked the phone, have you done that yet?
I would advise waiting for a post to verify this, or read a bit more about jumping from 5 to 6.1..... If I knew for sure, I would tell you instead of sending you to "threadland".
ok so far i have done this:
1.getting HARD SPL
2.doing SIM and CID unlock
3.updating RADIO to the one you mentioned , working fine, did some phone calls
4.i am gonna do a 6.1 win update straight ahead, its a cooked one,hope it works, anyone gives me a reason to not do this ?
ty
Sounds like so far, so good. I would advise reading the following post about types of ROMS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412895&page=113
Then, look at using this DVH Rom:
http://kc9.info/pdaviet/rom/Dvha79_... 20924.1.5.0 PV DVH) Black(Full) NoBS V27.exe
When you click on this link, it will be for a download, the id and password are PDAVIET and PDAVIET.
Let us know how it works for you.
WM6 ROM
Just upgrade to any of the ROMs I gave you earlier, with the radio you desire I upgraded to the latest 1.56 radio but I flashed with the ATT ROm first and I have a jasjam so .... they are inter compatible
Has anyone tried the Official Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM Upgrade for the i780? It is found at thi link:
http://www.samsungmobile.com/support/i780/index.jsp
You can use "BVHF1" as the SGH-i780 Version. It also has a link for the samsung drivers for windows vista. Down below there is a button "View In Detail" beside [ Upgrade Instructions ], if you try to look at the screenshots, it says SHG-i780 6.1 OS Updater on the title bar.
According to some forums and reputable websites it is the official 6.1 upgrade for the i780 but the problem is it is only for Italy, Nordic and UK. I'm wondering if it is compatible with the asian versions of the i780. Is there a difference with the physical keyboard?
I guess it's not that important anymore since Windows Mobile 6.5 will be released sometime Q3/Q4 of this year. There are phones already manufactured for WM6.5 and pictures are already out in the internet. I'm not sure if it's legit but looks like they are. At least there's an official WM6.1 update for i780.
Wm6.1 upgrade
Hi
I tried this, but my version is DXHA1, its unbranded.
When io downloaded the software using your instrcution, and I ran it, it said incorrect version
Help
any idea when comes german version ?
Samsung i780 Official WM6.1 ROM
Ok, I called Samsung, its only for orange customers no one else
It is possible to flash Orange Rom
You have to Hex edit official rom with the country/operator specific code of your current rom. That way, when you are flashing Orange rom it will think that you have the future version of you current rom and it will not complaint.
Search forum. You may use Hxd (use this as a keyword for search) editor or another hex editor.
I used Orange rom for a while. It has improved battery life over V5X HH5 (EFN Rom) however no messenger and other preloaded goodies of v5x hh5.
BTW there is a newer (official) version than the orange rom. Just peek at newer threads.
alpusm
This is so lame
I bought mine unlocked off of expansys, and therefore the stupid update download tells me it's the wrong version. If I flash it with the Orange rom, will I have problems with sim locking or anything? I hope the installer doesn't have the same restrictions.
I can't believe I pay full price for a phone and get this sort of service.
No problem
You may flash with the Orange rom or never HL1 or HL2 rom. Updater is available here on forum for these roms. Like I said before you will need to hex edit rom files to be able to flash. Or, as an alternative, you may flash one of the "modded" versions of those roms (bin files) with mirage updater (mirage does not check any code), then update with the original updater because updater will think that you are upgrading from the same operatoır/country code.
BTW you wont have any problems with sim or device lock. Mine was a generic unbranded WWE rom and updated/tried all these roms and did now have any lock problems.
what version do i have
what does one mean by version? i have an unbranded one. are versions things like suppliers? tmobile o2 and stuff
cheers

My OS is in Danish so i tried the link and chose Nordic, then it wants me to put in the phone model, so i do that and then it takes me to the official samsung page (samsungmobile.com) where the only thing i can download is the manual and activesync for windows 2k/xp.

ms release it officially then the manufacturers then roll it out for their devices. htc is just one manufacturer of wm devices and you also get network branded devices i.e tmobile mda vario 5. in case of a network branded device you will need to wait for them to provide an update if they do it at all.
then there is xda where none of that matters! as soon as MS release officially there will be all the variants of it on here! once hard spl is out for this device mate watch out
as a new what is this hdspl i keep reading about
SPL's including HardSPL is explained here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=SPL%20Questions%3F
The official ROM from HTC will be posted on their web site (reasonably soon after the release from MS):
http://www.htc.com
You'll find it under the Support (tab) on the web site. Just select the country/region of your phone (at the top right of the HTC's site) and select the phone.
The ROM update comes as a windows installer - just follow the instructions.
This is safer that blasting on custom ROMs for the squeamish like me

In case you mean "HSDPA" that is a cellular network connection that allows you to do voice and data at the same time. (i.e. surf the internet or send MMS while talking on the phone).
If you mean Hard SPL, read the link provided above.
when will ROM with wm6.5 will come out here?
I'm considering buying a new TP2 (I have a TP with wm6.5) but I want to change when wm6.5 is available for TP2.
I guess I won't be used to WM6.1 anymore... lol
Okay, i am a supernoob in this sphere, but i want to upgrade my Asus P535 from windows mobile 6.0 to windows mobile 6.1.
What is the way to upgrade my Phone?
Rom/Activesync/etc?
Thanks in advance.
You need to go to asusmobile.com or some similar forum that has the model you have. they will guide you trough the right process this is HTC forum
I know you're new, but it's really important to search before posting... The section of the forums you've made this thread in is only supposed to be used for ROM developers!
You need to find a ROM download thread on the site for your phone (like this one, but this is WM6.5) and yes, you will need to establish and maintain an ActiveSync connection in order to update the ROM. The procedure of flashing a ROM varies slightly from device to device so make sure you've read a tutorial before you begin so you know what you're doing. You need to back up all the files that aren't stored on external memory too as these will be deleted when you flash your new ROM.
