For those, who have native ROMs:
01.
Upgrading the ROM Code erases all of personal data and custom-installed applications from the device. Make sure all of your personal information and data are backed up to your PC via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center. After updating the ROM, copy the data back to your mobile device and reinstall your applications.
02.
Third-party applications may have compatibility issues with Windows Mobile™ 6. Please consult with the software developer(s) before upgrading to Windows Mobile™ 6.
03.
Make sure the remaining battery power is above 50% before performing a ROM upgrade.
04.
Before upgrading the ROM, remove the miniSD (U1000, D810 and 838Pro) or microSD (P800W) memory card from your device.
05.
Do not disconnect the USB cable or start other applications on your PC while the ROM upgrade program is running. Doing so may cause the upgrade program to fail. In the worst situation, your mobile device may fail to boot.
06.
The entire ROM upgrade installation process takes about 15-20 minutes. Please wait patiently.
07.
When the upgrade has completed, the mobile device will reboot and start installation of certain components automatically. This takes about 3-5 minutes.
08.
If you are not familiar with these operations or if you don’t know how to work with your PC, please visit your distributor or contact us for assistance.
09.
Note that once the operating system is upgraded to Windows Mobile™ 6, it cannot be downgraded to Windows Mobile 5. Consider your options carefully before you upgrade.
10.
Users who have a membership with HTC should upgrade via the HTC official website. Upgrades done otherwise, i.e. through non-HTC-authorized channels, are considered illegal. HTC shall not be liable for any damage to the data or the user’s breach of the related laws and regulations.

2. Unzip the file when downloading is complete.
3. Connect your device with your PC using ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center, and then run the program.
Press RESET to soft-reset your device. One of the following may occur:
01.
The 3-color installation screen appears: Run the installation program again. Installation will then proceed.
02.
The HTC screen appears and the installation program can be accessed: Run the installation program again. Installation will then proceed.
03.
The HTC screen appears but the installation program cannot be accessed: Hold down the POWER and CAMERA buttons, then press RESET. The 3-color installation screen appears, and you may continue with the installation.
04.
If installation still fails, please visit your distributor or contact us for assistance.

How do I synchronize my PC and mobile device?
To synchronize your mobile device to a Microsoft Windows XP-based computer, you need to install Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 (or later). If you already have an earlier version of Microsoft ActiveSync installed, you must update it to synchronize your mobile device and PC.
To synchronize your mobile device to a Microsoft Windows Vista-based computer, you need to install Windows Mobile Device Center.
How do I get Microsoft ActiveSync 4.5 or Windows Mobile Device Center？
If you are upgrading from Windows Mobile® 5.0 to Windows Mobile® 6, you need to download either ActiveSync® 4.5 or Windows Mobile Device Center from the Microsoft Web site:

Windows Mobile Device Center
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/devicecenter.mspx
If you purchased your device with Windows Mobile® 6 pre-installed, you can install ActiveSync 4.5 or Windows Mobile Device Center from the Getting Started Disc.
What is Windows Live™ ?
Windows Live™ lets you easily find information on the web through Live.com and offers various Internet services, including Windows Live Mail, Windows Live Messenger, and Windows Live Spaces. Using Windows Live™ on your mobile device, you can send and receive instant messages, read or compose Live (Hotmail®) e-mail, and send photos to your Live Space.
When you set up Windows Live™ for the first time, your Windows Live contact list will be integrated with your Outlook contacts. You can then send and receive Windows Live Mail in Messaging.
How do I access the Windows Live™ service?
To access the Windows Live™ service, open the Windows Live program and sign in.
The first time you use Windows Live™, sign in by using your Windows Live ID, which is your Windows Live Mail or Hotmail address, and password.

What's new about Calendar in Windows Mobile® 6?
The improved Calendar in Windows Mobile® 6 has a calendar strip in Agenda view that shows the time range.
If your mobile device connects to Exchange Server 2007, Calendar also allows you to accept or decline meeting requests from others, and add required and optional attendees when you create meeting requests.
What's new about Contacts in Windows Mobile® 6？
Windows Mobile® 6 has added the call history to the contact card. This allows you to see all calls from and to a contact when you are viewing a contact card.
What is Storage Card Encryption？
Windows Mobile® 6’s storage card encryption feature protects your storage card from being accessed by unauthorized persons by encrypting the data in the storage card. Encrypted files on your storage card can only be read by your mobile device.
Attention：
1. When you synchronize your mobile device with Microsoft Exchange Server and perform a Remote Wipe, data in the storage card will be deleted.
2. If the storage card is or was previously enabled on your Windows Mobile® 6 device, you will no longer be able to access the encrypted files on your storage card after you perform a hard reset, clear storage, or ROM update/upgrade. Before performing a hard reset, clear storage, or ROM update/upgrade, make sure you back up all your files from the storage card to your PC first using ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center. Then copy the files back to your storage card afterwards.
If I delete the sync connection settings between my PC and mobile device, will my PIM data be deleted from my device, too？
For security, all PIM data, such as Contacts, Calendar, E-mail, Tasks, Notes, and Favorites will be removed from your device when you delete the sync connection settings between your PC and device. You should back up your data first before deleting the sync connection settings.

Only need to downgrade the SPL if you plan on flashing the ROM from HTC as is. http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=59&Itemid=27
Or, you can wait until someone extracts the .NBH file which will allow you to flash with the RUU and keep HardSPL7(2.10)..
By waiting, this allows more flexability in managing the Radio and ROM releases your self.
you can try to use dutty's nbh tools to extract the nbh file then upgrade. i tried it works fine by not downgrading the SPL
can u pls explain the step by step procedure
can u pls explain the step by step procedure

Apologies but I'm new to this - my HTC TyTn (unlocked) starts to show the progress bars for the firmware update but then stops and tells me I've got an "Invalid Vendor ID".
I was under the impression that this Dopod 838 WM6 official firmware would work on my TyTn? What am I missing please?
Thanks all,
Fedorov.
just checked the htc asia website- official wm6 for hermes is ready for download!!! Everybody scoot there now!!!

Upgrade to HardSPL.
then
READ THIS THREAD.
My Method
The steps that I took were:
1. First run the official EXE and monitor your c:\documents and settings\username\local settings\temp folder.
2. Eventually the signed *.nbh file will appear in a sub folder (90+ odd MB).
3. Copy out the *.nbh file to another location.
4. Continue through the EXE eventually it will bomb out and your device will restart.
5. Once booted copy SSPL-HERM (downloadable from wiki) to your device then execute it from the device.
6. Device will reset into bootloader mode.
7. Copy RUUWrapper (downloadable from wiki) into same location as *.NBH file on your PC.
8. Execute RUUWrapper select SSPL as the method and follow on screen prompts.
9. The process does take a while so be patient.
Hope this helps and Good luck.

Hi mrvanx,
First thanks very much for your effort since I have read your guide which is very useful for me.
I am using X01HT with WM6 (Black Pro 3.01 and Radio 1.41 and flashed HardSPL 2.10 Olipro), so if I wanna upgrade to Offical ROM from Dopod / HTC, do I need to use Dutty's tool to extract the nbh file to 7 files? and then repack them (include window, primary splash , secondary splash and ExtROM) ?
Do I also need to include the new "Radio" in the new repackage? (does it rewrite my current radio bootloader)?
Thanks so much!
You could keep the radio if you want to.
But it is still okay to flash back to previous as RADIO version for 1.47 is BL0108.

you dont need to repackage it...ive already done it.
See the relevant thread.
Sorry for the questions, there so much to read on here I'm now going round in circles I think!
1) I've NEVER flashed my HTC TyTn before but I presume I still need to install HardSPL as you advise, this is to save bricking I believe.
2) My unlocked TyTn is on the O2 network, I've heard mention of o2.cab files - do I need to do something extra here, apart from HardSpl and flashing the WM6 rom?
Thanks again, just had this awful feeling that it will flash okay and then I'd find that I couldn't get on my O2 network no more....

Why did I just feel in my bones that when any "official" ROM was released there would be a plethora of "how do I" questions?
Just why did I feel that coming.
I guess though, I'm glad that I've spent months reading, and flashing is a 10 minute no sweat deal anymore, thanks to the efforts of mrvanx, pof, des, and many others.
Config after flashing is another deal altogether.

and I am trying to upgrade it by running
Treo750_2_18_VFU_DesktopUpdater.exe
Upgrade starts, extracts the files but at point where the upgrade then wants to execute I am getting error message:
Unsupported Device Update:
This update is intended to update Palm Tre0 750 Smartphones to the latest software. It is not intended to update the device language or any other devices.
The only option then presented is QUIT!!!!
My device is English, unlocked, everything works fine.
Anyone have any clues?

If you unpack the EXE you will find the actual ROM file. You can copy it to a memory card and press the right key sequence(sorry don't recall what it is) and it will update no matter what.
extract the EXE and modify the payloads.xml to match your carrier extension and ROW version
Code:
<payloads>
<carrier_codes>[B]CNG,ATT[/B]</carrier_codes>
<revision_no>1.20</revision_no>
<payload>
<id>101</id>
<payload_criteria>
<revision_range>
<low>[B]1.13[/B]</low>
<high>[B]1.13[/B]</high>
</revision_range>
</payload_criteria>
<payload_file>payload_1.xml</payload_file>
</payload>
</payloads>
then execute index.hta
Also see this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335402
Thanks guys, but a solution way more technical than my capabilities!!!!
Instructions:
1. All contents must be extracted to a local disk, not a backup/external disk. I can recommend to put all contents of the extracted Mango folder directly to C:/ (If you got enough available space)
1a. C:/NoDoToRC
1b. C:/RCToRTM
1c. C:/Zune
2. Install the zune beta client version 4.8.2134.0 (comes with the downloaded file)
3. If necessary (usualy is), run the flashing tool "updatewp" from the folder "update tool" install right version for your system, 32 or 64-bit
4. Connect Device via USB to the PC
5. Close Zune software if it opens when connecting
So I have the current version of zune at the moment and I'm on step 2. DO I have to delete the latest version and install the older beta version to continue updating from NoDo to Mango 7720RTM?
Yes, I know the official update is available, but not for me and I read somewhere that if I go to the RTM version I will then get the notification to updae to official mango..
So please answer my question and this can be deleted
Yes, you need to uninstall zune and then install the beta zune as it contains the updatewp files that match accordingly. I saw somewhere on here someone who had an updated updatewp that matches zune 4.8.2345 but I cannot locate it right now.
Have you tried the click update over and over again in zune while disabling and enabling your internet?? I know of 2 HD7s and 3 Trophys that have gotten the official 7720 update doing that!!
Yes I have tried that disconnect trick so many times but no luck I'll delete zune and install the older beta Hopefully I can then continue without problems...
lol another question:
I have made it to the point that my phone is now on 7403. Then it said that there is another update available which I think is 7712? Now it says roughly translated "please wait. Searching for free diskspace required for the update."
It has been like that for 20 minutes now, what do I do now? Wait? Cancel it and start searching for updates again in the settings->phone->update in zune?
I've never seen that error... If you are on 7403, and your phone is accessible by touch, then I would disconnect your phone, reboot PC and phone, and try again.
Good luck!
Hello,
Apparently I am unable to reach any of HTC's download servers for HTC Sync 3.0.5617.
Does anyone have a link to where I can download this software as I would like to unlock my incredible through the official method
Thanks in advance.
I've been in the same boat for the last few days. I contacted HTC asking why the download link doesn't work and they said their web site is being upgraded and they can't give an ETA on when the software will be available for download (which leaves me completely stunned).
I found a couple of links to Russian versions which didn't fill me with confidence. I ended up downloading version 3.0.5551 from softonic at this page (I can't post external links as a new user so I hope this is legible) htc-sync dot en dot softonic dot com, and after I installing it offered to upgrade to the latest version, downloading version 3.0.5617.
You can install sync from the cdrom drive that pops up when you connect your phone to your pc as a disk drive. Then update to the newest version thru the sync app it self. Although now that i think about it the CDROM.iso file has probably been removed or dissabled in a lot of custom roms, so i may just be typing for nothing.
