OK, I've flashed many WM6 roms and although I enjoy aspects of all of them, I can't get past the sleep to death issue. I just can't risk missing alarms and calls. So i'd like to downgrade to wm5. i was able to do this quite easily with my hermes following mrvanx's downgrade guide and was wondering if I should follow the same procedure? I'm worried about bricking my device. also, any suggestions on WM5 roms would be appreciated. I'd like something with the WM6 look to it.
Thanks
Jason

No you don't!
My advise is to be careful with the G3/G4 chips (but you should know that) and with the different IPL/SPL versions and latest OS (WM6) to avoid 1.xx bootloaders and OS 2.xx or 10.xx
One thing i do recommend after an OS flash is to make a hard-reset to clear the user area and avoid old registry settings and old shortcuts to interfere with the new system.
cheers
flashing to an official rom is not required, however lotsa people recommend it, since it will put you back in a stable state...as though you were flashing the first time...
also...there were rumors that a corrupted extended rom in some custom roms could've caused a battery drain issue, so reflashing with an official rom would hope to rectify that.
For G4, flashing to official ROM (or Wizard Love) is required, as it is highly possible that shelltool fails when flashing from WM6.
I know there are others experiencing the 28% death wall while trying to flash WM6, but there doent seem to be any specific solutions to this.
I have a Dopod D810 and has already installed 1.30 olipro. Just trying to flash to the official WM6 ANZ Rom. No luck.
Any suggestions guys?
Should just be a very straight forward procedure. Flashing a Dopod with an official Rom.
should be, but it's not... mine is Dopod asia, and stuck at 28% when flashing. Not too sure, but really seemed to me that it was something related to hard-spl. After the 28% error, i reflashed an unofficial rom and tried the official again.
eventually it worked for me.
i guess you don't technically need to manually enter hard-spl first before flashing official ROM.. if anything went wrong i guess you could send it back to them..
safest is to use a modified RUU so it just flashes ROM without IPL + SPL.. i thiiiiiink problem is something to do with SPL
which unofficial rom did u reflash it to? I've been going back and forth with AX3L_OS v3.0.0.2 and the official ANZ dopod rom.
tried about 5 times now. still trying. each time it fails at 28% it's another 10 minutes to flash backto the unofficial rom.
maybe if i try to trce ur steps exactly it might work.
i was flashing to some pdaviet ROM, but i don't think that would make any difference from ax3l's...
have you tried flashing the official ROM with a modified RUU, or you really want the whole package...
If you're just trying to keep everything official i guess you could try to flash the official rom without manually entering bootloader and take your chances. Being that its an official ROM i guess it's safer, or at least covered in warranty..
One question, why don't you try to flash to official WM5 ROM, then to official WM6.. since technically it's supposed to work that way
seriously, i'm not sure why you'd want the official one though.. it's nothing special
Yeah I've tried flashing back to the official WM5 and then WM6, same story.
Tho I havent tried flashing the official WM6 through modified RUU, mainly coz i dont know how to.
Also, In the AX3L version of WM6, there doesnt seem to be a phonepad input method. only keyboard and block recongniser and one other one. Is that coz it's a modified rom, or does WM6 not have the phone pad input. if that's the case i can forget about flashing to WM6 all together.
can't remember if official wm6 has phonepad, but you can just install a cab for it, so it's not a big deal.
look on my site for a link to modified RUU official ROM... instructions are here
i had a lot of problems being stuck at 28%
what eventually i got it to flash to the aus rom was i used SPL 1.20 then it seemed to flash fine.
for some reason my phone doesnt like any other version of SPL besides the one on the latest aus rom either, i flashed to a cooked rom and couldnt flash back until i had put spl 1.20 back in then flashed back to the aus rom.
I have the same problem with 28% stucking
I try to reflash but I still have the same
do you have hard-spl? if so, which version? If you do, flash back a cooked ROM..
if not, you need to try to flash official ROM..
if neither is working, use splxploit. I think all links you need are in this thread already
I have a same problem.
I was upgraded from WM5 to Hong Kong Official WM6 chinese ROM, then I want to change to Official English ROM, I did the Hard-SPL 1.3 and get the SuperCID, but when upgrading the WM6 English officeial ROM, this was stuck at 28%.
Now I was able to flash back to WM5 rom, but I world like to Upgrade to WM6 official ROM, anyone help?
I had this problem when upgrading to the Australian WM6 official HTC Release. The way around it is to run the Trinity Service Provider & CID unlock program from the link below. Dont know why but to use either release, Dopod or HTC WM6 you must run this tool first.

Hope this helps
you don't *have* to CID unlock your device to use these upgrades..
again, sometimes it gets stuck, sometimes it seems to work.. you can just keep trying.. mine magically worked after a while. the most sure method is to use a modified RUU, of which there's a few on the forums and a few threads regarding these issues..

HI, Thank for your reply, how can I do the modified RUU?
Hi all,
I have success to flash the WM6 official ROM.
this is my experience:
To flash the Radio ROM first, I has flash the 1.50.08.11 Radio ROM.
Then to download the Dutty NBH Tool to take off the Radio DOM of WM6 official ROM.
Then to flash the modify ROM.
Now, my phone is running WM6.

Learn something new everyday. Never knew that simply modifying the RUU would itself allow the updates. Just tried it, and yes it works also.

Hello guys...need some advises here....
Just bought Dopod 810 with WM6 official....but can I use cooked WM6 that available here?
any risks doing it?
Some risks
Hi Wid -
You can use the ROMs posted here. They will work on any Trinity. Some things to watch out for:
- you can "brick" your phone, which means it stops responding to any inputs, becoming as useful as a brick.
- however you can fix "bricking"
- You can also avoid bricking by removing the Service Provider Lock (SPL) software and replacing it with a non-restictive SPL (see posts in this forum)
- if you remove or change your SPL, you technically have violated the terms of your contract with your telecom provider. This probably won't be a problem for day-to-day use, but if you ever need warranty service, or other service with the device, they can refuse to provide it because of your use of a non-offical ROM.
see here for more discussion of ROMs:

Good luck!

Hi mike....thanks for the information...
I did read about "brick" my device & I have been suggested that I must do Hard SPL first prior flashing with cooked ROM.
FYI, my phone is not under contract with my service provider...just warranty by the manufacturer...so should I still need to remove SPL? or do HARD SPL 1st then star flashing my phone?
thanks
wid
anyone can help me?
If you install any cooked ROM or change SPL you run the risk of your manufacturer warranty been in-validated.
The question you should ask yourself, is it worth the possible trouble?
Changing WM6 for a cooked WM6, i'm not sure, but only you can answer that question.
Yes...I just wondering....because I'm type of person that like to try something new.
But after sometimes, search & read...I decided to keep with my original ROM.
Thank you for all advises here

My HTC stuck in load screen with 0% loaded!

You need to update ur hard spl with - SPL-1.40.OliNex
see
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=416211
I tried it but it`s not working!
I started ROM Update Utility... next..next...then shows my image version (2.03.414.2).. Update To 1.40.OliNex..next.....next....then starts update.. 0% .. and ERROR The Update Utility cannot connect to your PDA Phone....
Don`t know why it`s not working
"Because you're an idiot"
It's Vital that you READ the guides on XDA for flashing your phone.
All your problems are answered in the forum so you really didn't need to post this. Upgrading your phone from a WM5 to 6.5 is a big leap and Don't expect it to magically fix any issues you may already have with the current version of WM.
You will need to learn how to MTTY if you plan on flashing your phone after a 6.5 rom upgrade because it's not as easy as it used to be.
There is a helpful serach function on the forum I suggest you use it before anyone else wastes their breath.
I have bad in english that`s why i cant find the correct answer in search!
And i dont understaand all the abbreviations like XDA MTTY and lots of others.
I don`t have WM 5 but WM 6.1 and its not so big leap ti WM6.5
That`s why i post this!
And i have no problems when i upgraded my last phone to 6.5 and i dont know why i have problems with HTC Diamond!?
SPL & MTTY
You should have used Olinex SPL before even thinking about flashing your phone
Thinking about it now... you should have bought the diamond unlocker as it's a better solution.
You have to use the MTTY method before flashing with a 6.5 rom as your memory space can be changed to acommodate more/less modules for the ROM. If you don't use MTTY then your phone will fail.
