Hi All,
the website for all the guides relating to the Trinity is down and just wondering if there's either another version or someone with a hard copy of the website.
I'm mainly after a flashing guide as I've just got this phone and whilst being very techy in the sense of computers I've never dabbled in PPC's, so this is a new on for me, so just need to make sure it goes ok ...
Also, I have TOMTOM Nav.6 on this with UK/IRE and European maps (pre-installed, bought second-hand) and im trying to make a back-up of it to restore once I get 6.1 on there (planning on using the WWE Elegance ROM), but TT-Home is utterly useless and crashes every time no matter what (does this with my Dad's TT-ONE) ...
If I simply copy the contents off of the card, will be be able to re-use these on a fresh install of Nav.6 once WM 6.1 is on?
Thanks all for any advice,
Luke.

Hi,
first at all... THANKS TO EVERYONE!!! ... I've reading everything during a few days, because I didn't receive correctly the calls... I finally I got to update the rom; now I have to check if I've chosen the right one.
The question is: I made a backup of everything when it was wm 6.0, can I restore it after upgrading, knowing it is a different rom, and the wm version is the 6.1????
Thanks again!!!
No,
Don't do it, you'll have to hard reset because there are too many differences between the Roms (even when changing between WM6 Roms).
I would only restore when going back to the original ROM that I backed up.
thanks guys!
it is great to find people who have fronted already the same problems
then I'll just try to create a few direct accesses to the programs I installed in the sd.
Thanks
I've searched at the forum but couldn't find a good answerd for my question.
I got a Vodafone NL X1 it's currently on the Vodafone R2 release but i want to change it to the generic release(hate the vodafone crap). So my question is do I need hard spl to flash another official rom to my X1. I know that you need hard spl to flash a cooked rom but is flashing another official rom the same case?
And another question, i've read on websites that spb backup can restore a backup after a rom update. Does anyone have experience with that and is there a big change that i will have problems with that? And if I use this when I flash the generic rom instead of the vodafone one to my phone does it also restore all vodafone crap?
Hope someone can help me
thanks in advanced,

My 2c worth:
a) official ROM's have SPL in them, so you don't need hardSPL to flash these
b) regarding "restore after ROM change", in reverse order:
if you restore a full backup from your existing installation after a ROM change, it will obviously restore all that is currently there - including the Vodaphone fluff
both Spb and Sprite offer "full restore after ROM change" options - however, registry changes from one ROM to the next make this risky. Most cooks will advise against it
Oke thank you for the answerd, will do a fresh install then after the rom update
SPB restore can let you choose what to restore, the necessary things will be contacts, sms, email and documents, you can skip the programs, registry and other non personal things, but like this you will need to reinstall all programs and configure them from scratch

Yes, that's the technically correct way.
After you've upgraded the ROM and re-installed all your apps, (say) weekly Spb or Sprite backups for a full restore are obviously viable. I've been doing this for about 5 years now - saved my bacon more than once.
Still, I agree that re-installing all the apps after a ROM upgrade is a real pain in the butt. People who change ROM's constantly must have another day phone on the side
I tried to update the generic NL R2A rom from my vodafone NL R2A phone but it doesn't work. It keep saying "No image file!".
I also got another question. Is it really necessairy to format my ms before flashing. Because I only got the hancock ms and it said not to be working again when I format the ms. Thats why I didn't format the ms yet and only tried without formatting.
I have read almost all tutorials but all said I must use the hard-spl but other forums posts said I don't need when using a official rom. Anyone can help me a bit further please?
Regards,
I want to upgrade my X1's ROM but I'm afraid if it's fail.
Is there any way to back up my ROM so if the upgrade wasn't success I can revert it back?
If it has been posted before, please let me know plz
Have never been beaten,don't be afraid,it is not hard to flash ROM
yinjianweizxc,
I'm just afraid. I got this nightmare when I was 'like' flashing my iPhone and it's not going well and I couldn't restore it back. The moderator who make the restore never answer my Question. After 2 months, I have to give up.
I just didn't the same nightmare happen to me.
And I'm still looking for a clean (with X1 standart 3rd applications) ROM 6.5.3 (without HTC Sense or anything that is not originally from SE).
Can you help to show me?
Hello,
can someone please point me on backing up my current rom on my x1 and flash a new one safely.
Thx.
I'm curious also if there's a possibbility to backup the whole state of internal drive like image file on pc's and install it like a custom rom?
for installing the roms itself check thread micro sd rom install or similar
You can use the SPB Backup software ... you have to pay for it but you can use the trail version to do that ... there are many other softwares that do the same thing ... but this is the one I know ...
if you search this forum, you will find other softwares as well ... and as for installing a new rom ... you just have to follow the thread carefully and it will walk you through it ... the one I'm using is the 826X rom and it's well explained in the thread ...
any ways, flashing a winmo rom into your device is easier and safer than the Android ones ... so, it shouldn't be a big problem ... good luck
