Hello all,
Thinking of "taking the plunge" and upgrade to WM6 (one of the roms - just dont know which one yet).
However a few questions:
Is it possible to flash back my old OS without any problems, if necessary?

you can flash any ROM on our device - whenever you want. If you had a pocket PC 2002 ROM for your device you could flash that if you wanted to. The most important thing is to make sure that you have the ROM. Without it you cannot go back to your old OS. If you have it, you can.

This is exactly why you see so many messages warning you to read the forum and be sure you understand it before flashing.
Hi,
Of course, I have well read the forum before upgrading, it is not my first Rom upgrade, I used the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe just like you explained, everything was ok, it told me the romupgrade was succesfull, then I reboot the phone, and there is no radio any more !!!
Do you have a solution to this problem? is there any way to roll back, and re-install the radio rom?

As the Thread on the 2.x Radio Roms says:
These are all for use with 2.x Roms only.
We've had a couple of reports that it doesn't work with 1.x Bootloaders (IPL/SPL Versions 1.x). The good news is that since it doesn't dork your BootLoader if you goof you can still reflash with your original Rom and recover your device.
Hello all
I'm curious because I maybe want to do this. Yeah im talking about HARD SPL.
Now...the big problem..
What the hell is it
1. What does it do?
2. What do i need to do it?
3. Does it matter what kind of WM6 Build I have??
4. What is IPL, SPL (how can i check it)
My specs:
HTC p4350 NL (herald)
WM6 5.2.1238 (Build 17745.02.3)
WLM V 10.6.0033.0600 (Running Very Stable with no sync problems at all )
I all ready did:
- Page tool 4MB
- Overclocked to 299Mhz (Running Stable) With Battery Status
What I want:
- Do the HARD SPL thing. Because I heard that it cleans up your WM6????
- I want the Touch-IT v4.0 for p4350
Can anyone help me with this??
Thanks in advance,
A.Sadikrama

Hihihi
I solved this one myself man And i allready did it all.
Here is a "i think" good one:
HardSPL = A Custom Windows Mobile Rom with some tweaks so that you can do stuff with your PPC
You really should check the TOP Topic in this Forum...That works...
RUU = the Update .exe file. That is de installer dat is going to Flash your PPC
So make sure that the Battery is at minimum 50% and that Active sync is connected Stable and that the Auto standby Energie mode is turned off.
This is what i picked up

Think of it as a hacked BIOS that lets you install a hacked version of windows.
When your phone is HARD SLPed, means you can install any rom for that phone on it.
Remeber! Hard spl is just unlocking your phone to install other roms, but it will not sim unlock your phone!
it a form of a cid unlock trust me i had the same question and didn't want to sound like a noob

but u can install a rom that is sim unlock option is avaiable
OK i think i ****ed up bigtime.
I was on HSPL, and at first i flashed a stock rom.
After that i flashed DUtty's rom and it went ok.
It booted up with green screen problem and loads of locks and really really slow. After that i tried to use uspl but i was getting connection problems. After that i thought i should go to 1.15 stock spl and so i flashed that one, in order to use uspl. But the problems still persist, and now i cant revert back to a previous cooked rom.
Any suggestions ?
Use Manually Bootloader
Go back to stock spl, first flash stock rom, use sspl manual turn olinex and flash stock spl and then u can hspl again.
Hope it solves the prob. Just take a look at my Grafik Problem thread!

Well i fixed it and flashed everything ok.
A message to all flashers, DO NOT TRY TO FLASH ON WINDOWS 7. You may brick your device.

Hi,
Why, Windows 7 has the same drivers like Vista???
Can You express more crearly?
i flashed on Win 7 (build 7077)... i had to roll back the HTC USB Sync driver as explained in many threads about flashing the latest HD ROM v 1.56. i think some of our fellow members are not following all the steps to flash with the new ROM/SPL.

A message to all flashers:
Read the instructions thorougly. If you cannot say that you understand 100 % of what the instructions tells you, read them again or do some research.
After following these steps you will almost certainly have a much better experience with custom ROMs.

i tried reverting the drivers but it is simply not working. i am thorough and i do read the details.
I had no problems with the drivers. I just followed the correct procedures mentioned in the wiki and post#6 of Duttys v2.8 rom
Have you tried rebooting pc afterwards and pressing F8 as per the instructions to help load them?
i flash on windows 7 7068 almost 10+ times already with no issue , using custom ruu.

Same here. Use Windows 7 (7068) as my only OS and I've been flashing 20+ roms without any problems.

The instructions for all the different flashing methods are a big mess if you ask me.
There is no red thread, they all just blend together in a big mess and leave out answeres to simple questions that would clearify stuff for newbies.
The more i read the long pages of instructions the more confused i get.

I agree, they can be confusing, but once you have mastered it, you'll wonder what the problem was!
What exactly are you confused with? What steps have you taken? Where are you now in the process?
Don't worry about the phone it will be ok.
The steps are as follow:
1). Flash hardspl
2). Flash a stockrom
3). Flash USPL 2.5
4). With USPL on your phone flash to Dutty
To revert back to previous roms:
1). Flash hardspl
2). Flash your previous rom.
Grtz,
Leo

Im fine, thanx, I have flashed my phone twice without big problems.
But the second time I got really confused when i tried to really understand it and followed the instructions step by step, it just sent me in a loop between all the different pages.
A simple question and a simple answere in the ROM-thread solved my confusion then, and now I just ignore the ramblings in the instruction pages.

I have a question about this. As my HD was replaced (warranty) I don't know which version I have (O2 or HTC). My first HD was a O2 branded with 1.14.207 ROM, the replaced one (from the same supplier) came with the 1.14.407 ROM which is the official German HTC ROM. I've just tried to download the newly released ROM by HTC, but the site states that the new ROM is not available for my device (but I could at least register the device). Could be that this is because it's an O2 device or probably because the new ROM wasn't yet released in German?
So is it really important to flash exactly the stock ROM (as the CID has to fit) or is it okay - like Laurentius said - to flash any stock ROM? Don't wanna brick my device when upgrading to 1.54/1.56...btw...why one has to go to a stock ROM when upgrading to 1.5x afterwards? Is there a difference when upgrading from 1.14 to 1.5x instead of 1.19 to 1.5x? I didn't get it yet...
Thanks in advance,

Any stock rom should do it as Laurentius said
A lot of confusion has come about from these newer cooked 1.56 roms so I wrote a guide. If you still have confusion please read the guide in my signature
Windows 7 is also most definitely not an issue. Several of us here are using it successfully.
Hi,
I want to dump my WM5 rom (I think its from O2). But I'm not sure about that because I've got a G4-type device.
If I install WM6.5 on my wizard, can I just undo it by flashing with mine dumped ROM?
I want to know before I upgrade to WM6.5.

I think I found the answer myself.
As far as I understand is dumping ROM not necessary since I found O2-WM5-ROM here (I downloaded this and keep it for case if I need to downgrade my device).

I bought the Qtek 9100 and i would like to upgrade it. I read a few tutorials, but i still dont understand everything, this will be my first phone ROM upgrade. Please excuse me if these questions are totaly noob.
Help much appreciated.
1. I dont know if i need to CID unlock my phone, but if i do which is better, more commonly used (or safer) : SoftSPL or HardSPL?
2. I would like to upgrade to IPhone killer - Windows Mobile 6.5.1 - Build 23075, but i dont know if this ROM is supported by the qtek 9100 G4. Will it run good or not?
3. Is it possible to make a backup of the currently installed ROM, if in any unfortunate scenario i ruin my phone and then restore it to what it was before?
4. I am running windows 7 and i saw some posts saying that it cant be used for flashing and that you need virtual xp. What do i need to do in virtualxp to make it work then?
I would tell you to search or use the wiki, but I'll assume you already have, lol.
1. Yes, you need to CID-unlock the phone before flashing anything. My first and only flash was using SoftSPL, and had no problems.
2. Check the ROM topic, does it say "G4 safe" or "OS only"? Don't try do flash ROMs that aren't cooked for your device. A WM6.5 can run a little slow, dunno.
3. Yes, there is a way, but if you brick your phone, all you'll have is a paper weight and a backed-up ROM, lol. Check here: backing up ROM
4. Can you install XP itself? That would be better I guess.
Cheers
