I'd like to flash my kaiser but am scared of bricking it
I have an Imate Jamin that I can play around with... just wondering if the process for flashing both phones would be the same?
pls help!
If you want to flash a Kaiser ROM, start here. Follow the instructions, and everything should be fine. And just a little personal advice, if you're a little uneasy about which ROM to try first, the PDACorner series is excellent IMO. And I've never owned a Jamin, so I don't know, but I'm guessing the answer is no. Good luck,
Dave

Hi all,
sorry for the newbie question but I'm thinking about upgrading my Trinity to WM06 and wondered if anoyone could answer some basic questions as I'm a bit confusted (... not that techie I'm afraid)
1. As my device is a SIM free, non network attached HTC P3600, do I need to do any of this "Hard-SPL" upgrading before selecting a ROM
2. is there a simple step - by - step flashing guide for newbies like me anywhere
3. Do the ROMs provided here enable SDHC for the device. I want to use higher capacity mini SD cards - this is a really important requirement
4. I love the inbuilt GPS and Tom Tom solution - are there any issues with GPS/Tom tom support in the upgrades
Many thanks in advance

Hey there, coe62!
I'm not a techie myself, but have just recently flashed my Trinity for the first time to WM6, so most of your questions were mine also. Here:
1. yes. From what I understood, also protects your device from a bad flash helping you recovering it (as far as I know, there are three of them: OliPro's HardSPL 1.30, OliPro's HardSPL 1.20 and Des' Crash Proof SPL)
2. http://www.trinityguides.info (thanks to racerx_)
3. some of the do, some of them don't, check here for details: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1635483&postcount=5
4. using iGo, so I can't tell!
Best of luck!
iGo
hi tnyynt,
i've seen u are using iGo, and also seen the small flag in the corner....so let me say first "salutari". as i'm new user of a trinity and have the german wm5 (my german sucks), i will flash it to wm6 english but i don't know if iGo is working with wm6. is it iGo os dependant?

Hey there!
YES, iGo works very well on both WM5 and WM6. I had it with the stock WM5 and now using it with a cooked WM6, it works great on both operating systems.
Noroc!
hi there
Am as a newbie as well, lately i've been tried flashing pretty man ROMS over Trinity Windows Mobile Section 6, and find out some ROMs are really good, smoothness, fast and damn good performance, or you can try Mary(latest ROMs). Personally, after trying cooked ROMs, i found Only _AX3L_WM6_WWE_v3.1.2c FULL & LITE (25-10-07)
This ROM is simply an edited version of the Official DOPOD's ROM (lastest released version!) for the Trinity work on my DopdD810, what i mean is with this ROM i can get connected with Internet, but rest of other ROMS don't, i've no idea Why, i am from Hong Kong, somebody has idea due to connection to the internet??
Ok, due to my bad understanding which SDHC would be most suited for my device? As i read about
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1635483&postcount=5
for ROMs flashing i follow the instructions, so far without serious errors happened, i'd to thank all of you, no matter newbies, seniors, moderators...
hi!
that's great, thanks. hopefuly i'll have time in week-end to play around and flash it!
numai bine!
Well i use this thread to post some of my questions...
i get my p3600 tomorrow and i'm very excited, so i want to flash the WM6 from bepe.
1. is there any way to backup the factory-flashed rom?
2. do i lose the warranty if i flash the device? is there a workaround?
3. I've read a few threads but i cant get an idea whats this hard spl for?
4. is it possible to reset the p3600 to factory default so may i can get warranty if somethings fails?
thanks for the replies..
Hi guys,
I want to upgrade my phone to one the WM6 roms available in here.
I just wanted to ask will the sms / email / mms settings stay once the new ROM has been flashed.
If not where can i find them to write them down.
Thanks in advance.
no, they will be erased...
take a look at the trinity upgrade guide on trinityguides.info which will take you step by step through flashing your ROM (backup, hard spl, flash ROM, restore, etc)
Erase the ROM before installing?
I heard it's better to erase the ROM before installing a new one.
A kind of a 'super' eraser to clean deply the ROM. Have you heard of any of such a program/utility?
Thanks

thx for any help
I'm looking at flashing the rom on my tilt, i want to get the most battery life possible out of my phone, and i read that flashing the rom is one way.(any other tips to gain battery life, please post). I read bmueller77 thread about flashing roms, but i have a few questions. can anyone recommend a rom that will give me the best battery life that will work with the tilt, and if a rom works w/the TYTN II will it work w/the Tilt? I don't know if at&t puts any sort of blocks or limits on their phones. also i've never flashed a rom, and i've read you have to flash the radio when you flash the rom, are doing these two things a difficult process for someone who's never done it before? i don't want to mess up my phone, especially since i read it will probably void my warranty. thanks, and any other tips for rom/radio flashing along w/any way of gaining extra battery life would be appreciated.
im a noob with similar questions, got down to flash my tilt the other night and couldnt get hspdl to load on it kept getting a device error 244 i think it was
saw in thread that the tilt was incompatible for that software but thats the only and best way to flash rom from storage card
really interested in flashing to 6.1 with threaded sms and group text, etc
seecho.com
I suggest you read this thread Kaiser ROM Upgrading and ROM flashing for Noobs.
Once you read all the info, read some more. Until you've read all the other things that could happen. There's still a good chance you can brick your phone, but if you have all the info to almost "what if" scenerios, you'll be fine.
Once your comfortable with flashing your Tilt, follow the Kaiser ROM thread.
I have an unlocked TyTN II, but currently using Dutty's WM6.1. So far, the radio on my sig has given me a good battery life. Follow this radio thread for particular radio for WM6.1 only.

your links don't work, and i've read both those already, but i have a couple more questions, which is why i posted here, and i'm assuming why the other person posted.
I have flashed mine and other tilts the regular way. So it can be done.

My apologies. Links are now working. And/or just look at the XDA-Wiki.
Ok, some of you may remember me from the Wizard world. I am the chef for the "Jag" series and "NTS" of roms there. They are old roms I know, but then i decided to be stupid and went to the SP world with a Moto Q9h, 6 months in, I miss my touch screen. I have an AT&T Tilt on the way now. So, to the main point of this post.
Where do I start with unlocking the Tilt, and also, Since I am on AT&T what is the deal with the radios. I know I want to use a non standard ROM on this phone since bloat ware pisses me off.
How do i determine what radio with what rom and so on?
Thanks for your help. I have tried to search the forum for answers but I am totally lost here. Guess I need to leave behind the world of the Wizard and one radio for all roms. LOL.
I missed you guys!!!!
Re the unblocking I think that id the CID Unlock guff you have to run (don't quote me, my phone was already unlocked)
Then read the pages on flash tutorial which turns out to be easy to do and then pick a ROM to flash and away you go
Wow 738 posts and you don't know how to read stickys.
Check the links in my sig (and just about anyone elses) or the sticky in just about every forum for the kaiser.
welcome back.
Ok, So just to test my understanding, I need to check each ROM release and see which HardSPL they used to make the ROM.
Example:
The Garmin.DK.1 WM 6.1 Premium ROM states the instructions are to install HardSPL 3.56. I have read how to do this and it seems pretty self explanitory in the instructions. After that, then I flash the rom, once the rom is complete, I do a hard reset on the phone.
Am I correct in those steps?
Now, my next question.
I have read here in the wiki that I need to ensure that I am using the correct Radio for my phone. Confused here a little bit.
Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 has this little disclaimer on the second post,
There will be 3 roms compatable with the latest AT&T Radios 1.65.14.06 and Radio 1.65.17.10
Click to expand...

Does this mean I have to hunt down a specific version of the radio in order to use this ROM?
Thanks again for the help.
738 posts does not mean I should know how to read a sticky. Most of the stickys on the Wizard forum werent stickys when I read them....
And I have worked with alot of the authors of those stickys too.
There are a few things you want to do:
First, install a hardspl I would recommend 3.28, 3.29, or 3.56
Second, security unlock your device
Third, Flash a Rom. A majority of the rom's here come with radio's. The best radio's available right now are 1.65.20.29 (great with getting a quick gps fix and fairly stable) 1.58.25.17 (which is compatible with almost every cooked rom here which offers great battery life and fairly stable reception at least in my area) or the newest available radio which is in my signature (offers decent gps fix, great reception and a decent battery life.
It is easier to learn as you go rather than attempt to cram it in all at once.
Good luck
Thank you red.
I just dont want to brick my tilt first attempt. I guess what im looking for is a quick rom, very stable and has no bloatware.
I think iwill work on the device with standard rom first so that I can learn the device itself. Then i will start reading rom release posts...... every page.
I like to have all info before i take the first step. expecially on something this expensive.
i know im abit late with the rom change on my htc hd, but i was wondering which rom would be best to switch to, because lately my phone has really been pee'in me off, keeps freezing and all sorts, especially when i try changing my wallpaper. the phones locked on orange uk and have the original rom installed, 1.14.405.3 WWE, will this effect the flashing process or is it likely to cause any problems, any advice would be greatly appreciated.
Thank you in advance
energy rom is so far the best

+1,agree,the fastest rom ever tryed
hey thanks for the reply, i'll definatly give it a go, what about manilla v3, i saw it a while back but cnt seem to find it now, that seemed nice but im guessing it isnt as fast as the energy one.
one more thing ig anyone's great enough to help, whats the best way of flashing my device and what to do, this is my first windows mobile device and was wondering what to do, theys these words going around like uspl and hspl but none make sense, i have the original rom and have jus downloaded the energy rom and want to upgrade, what do i need to do. thanks in advance.
There's a guide on the wiki.
USPL is for more advanced users, I'd start with Hard SPL
Just Hard SPL and flash the ROM.
P.S. what the best ROM is, is subjective. Each to there own, just try a few and see what you like.
Thread Closed.

Why hello there everyone.
New X1i user here. I'm not anpro nor a rookie (flashed my polaris a couple of times in the past) but I've got the following questions.
1: Is it safe to flash a WWE rom onto my dutch (vodafone) X1i?
2: What's the benefit of flashing your radio transmitter? I've never done that and I'm curious.
3: Which rom is currently the best? I really like the looks of mustangs rom (1.3.2) and it looks fairly complete. The only problem is, the thread is dead and it ain't got that much information.
Thanks in advance.
No one who can help me?
1: Is it safe to flash a WWE rom onto my dutch (vodafone) X1i? --- u loose warranty when flashing
2: What's the benefit of flashing your radio transmitter? I've never done that and I'm curious. --- u get better reception, faster gps locking
3: Which rom is currently the best? I really like the looks of mustangs rom (1.3.2) and it looks fairly complete. The only problem is, the thread is dead and it ain't got that much information. --- well i use itje 7 final but its hard to say... every rom has some advantages and disadvantages
