Hi,
I'm sorry because I'm Italian and I don't speak english very well...
I have a HTC Diamond (Windows Mobile 6.5).
How to downgrade it to Windows Mobile 6.1?
Thanks...
flash it with a 6.1 rom.
Refer to Diamond ROM Development message board.
if your diamond runs on winmo 6.5, it was already cid unlock (I think)
if you want winmo6.1, just download a 6.1 rom, and flash it :
- install activ sync on your pc, connect your diamond with usb, and execute CUstomm_RUU.exe
- or rename the nbh file to DIAMIMG.NBH, copy it into internal storage of the diamond, soft reset (red button under the stylus) and press volume down + return, and press power button to flash !
be careful, your battery must be charged over 50% if you want to flash with customruu, but even if you flash by internal storage, it's better to have a battery charged !
I hope it's clear, my english is very bad too !
Where can I find 6.1 ROM?

As indicated by a33a in his response to you above, all the ROMs for the Diamond are in the Diamond ROM section. See http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=428.

My TYTN 2 (KAISER) came with the original WM6...But I upgraded/flashed it to WM 6.5 and that kinda sucks for me...
How can I revert it back to WM 6????
HELP.
Should I Hard reset it( by pressing several keys+stylus)??
Or should I hardSPL it again and flashing the WM6 Rom back??

First of all this is Android development so this is very offtopic. Second you hopefully can find and download the correct WM version from HTC by entering your S/N. Then I think all you need to do is to hold camera button + reset the device to enter SPL, connect to computer with USB cable and then run the installation (that you downloaded from HTC).
Hi Kalit_Kaffe, Thnx for the Help. Was helpless...thts Y had to post it here.
Anyways...is the hard reset(holding camera button...the soft buttons and stylus) the same as Factory restore??...then i wouldnt be needing the file that you mentioned for download??
Am i right?
Reset to factory defaults will not replace the 6.5 rom you have installed, you don't need to HardSPL again, that only needs to be done once.
Your best option would be to get a stock rom from the XDA Wiki pages, My advice would be either get a shipped rom that matches your carrier, or the latest generic HTC shipped rom, both can be found here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
Note that once you flash a rom a Hard reset does not remove it, only flashing another rom will do that. Also flashing a stock rom is actually one of the best ways of clearing out previous flashes.
hi
Hey man thnx a lot! really helps!
HELP!!!!!!!!!
How do I install the USB driver for HTC TyTN II, to whom I am the Android 1.5. Before that I was a Windows Mobile 6.5 and am using Microsoft ActiveSync. I would like again to get back to WM 6.5, but can not seem to connect mobile phone and computer.
You can't flash back to Windows Mobile through usb while in Android because of the driver issues. You have to either enter bootloader mode and flash, or you have to do it through your storage card. And before you post back asking me how to do that, use the search. There are instructions all over the place.
thank you very much I was able through bootloader mode
does anyone know what is the best WM for HTC taytn 2? I am installing TPC_Kaiser_Titanium_Ultimate_28002, it's not something particularly good
There is no *best* ROM. Please read threads and flash based on your needs. I think it's about time this thread be done for.

Looks like you need to downgrade your Hard SPL for WM6 so that it doesn't pause a lot.

Also there seems to be a guide for what you want. Sorry I stopped reading through the threads when I saw someone say you don't need to do anything with your hard spl.

Hi,
I'm using HTC TOUCH HD (orange). I bought this handset from Scotland it was locked with orange only but i Unlocked this handset in india and now i'm using this handset with vodafone India.
Now this handset works gr8 for me but still i can see some settings are map with orange only. I heard if i update with international English ROM then my problem will get solved.
I have no idea about updating ROM. I read lots of blogs even i read on xda wiki also but not sure as its looks like if i update my ROM then i may lose my original ROM.
I have few question:
1. How to choose correct ROM for my handset.
2. Which is the right tool to take the Device backup.
3. If i'm unable to update with new ROM then will i lose my Original ROM.
Hereby i'm sending you my current ROM Version and release date
Current ROM Version: 1.1961.1 WWE
Operator Version: 34.119.1.611
ROM Date: 11/25/08
Radio Version: 1.09.25.14
Protocol Version: 52.49a.25.26U
Your help will be highly appreciate.
Thanks in advance.
I suggest not doing it. If you can't read and search, then you can't flash a ROM.
hey dear. i also got my handset from UK with locked with orange. If u want to upgrade simply go for Cooked ROM's. Those original rom's are crap and cant use the full potential of ur handset.
I would suggest u go for Energy sense 2.1 21898 version.
u need to do just few things in order to flash a cooked rom. if u r ready then do let me know
the best way to take a backup is using PIM backup software
re ur 3rd question. once u flash a cooked rom u will never want to go back to ur original stock rom.
send me a pm whenever u r ready and confident to flash ur phone

it is a real simple process and once u do it u wont fear flashing it again & again
sorry for late reply Thank you so much for ur positive reply.
Could you please let me know from where i can get the currect ROM for my handset?
also please tell me who u did it with ur HTC TOUCH HD and does and don't if you have something before flashing ROM.
OK I have some time so let me try to put it as simple as I can.
First, there are 3 firmwares:
SPL -- This needs to be hacked to be able to change to any ROM
ROM -- You have the HTC official one and cooked ones
RADIO: you have 1.09, lastest are 1.13 / 1.14 / 1.17
The safest way is to use USPL, since it does not modify the SPL. You can always flash a ROM again.
See: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=462347
Download uspl_2.5.zip
Be aware that some antivirus flag the exe as dangerous, but that's because it contains an exploit for a buffer overflow.
If you're using Vista or 7, you need to change the drivers for HTC USB sync as explained on http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723.
Now power off the phone (long press power button)
Press volume down on the side, and power button
That should leave it in the Red/Green/Blue/White screen
Now connect it to the PC and run USPL
It should reboot and go back to the Red/Green/Blue/White screen but now it says USPL
The phone is ready to flash any ROM or any radio now.

is the last one on the web, it works fine. Does not have the lastest versions of everything but it works fine.
In the forum you have links to many cooked ROMs, based on Windows Mobile 6.1 and 6.5. WM 6.5 takes more RAM and it's slower than 6.1 (like Vista and XP). But most ROMs today are WM 6.5.
I have been used these two in the last months:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=460640
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=648831
The recomendation is to flash the HTC stock ROM first (that will also update the RADIO to 1.13.25.24). Then if you want to experiment, you can flash a cooked ROM.
Well,
My opinion: once you are addicted to ROM, I think HSPL would be the best way.
You can flash a ROM within 5 minutes or less. Also, using task29 is even more easier.
Cheers, my friend.

By the way, I'm back to Topix 3.5 WM6.1 Manila 2.1.
The difference in speed with a WM 6.5 ROM is too big. People should really consider give this one a try and see what I mean. On WM 6.5 even typing in keyboard is slow. Here you start with 37% RAM used, not 52%. And while using Opera, you have 55% RAM used, not 80%.
No way I'm going back to WM 6.5.
ok, I'm closing this thread now. In future could everyone direct users looking for flashing help to this thread.

Hi.
Im quiet a noob at this, I have a htc diamond with wm 6.1 and original (i think) htc rom.. I realised i have hardspl 1.40 installed it also shows 'security unlocked' as i pressed the volume down button and the on button, it shows the 4 colour thing.
Id like to put on bsb 6.5 rom, do I have to install hard spl 1.40 again? and I have a v1.00.25.05 radio which is good.. do i have to change that to?
and would I be able to change the radio after i installed the new rom?
and by the way I have an unlocked htc diamond.. I am using a '3' sim...after i install the rom would I not be able to use 3g and '3' anymore?
Thank you
hello, my friend has bought used htc tytn ii and didn't know that there is android installed (and locked). He also doesn't speak english so he needs czech OS. I don't have experience with flashing smartphones, I quit flashing while I was using old SE. If there is anyone who could help me with flashing back to WM from android, please do. I have RUU rom WM 6.1 I'd like to use, but android phone won't connect via activesync.
Thanks.

Try using the sd card method. copy Kaiser CustomRUU.exe and RUU rom WM6.1 on the formatted FAT32 sd card and put in TRI color mode and see whether it works or not.
Or, install czech language pack for android? afaik if your android is stable, it's far more usefull then winmo 6.1 could ever be.
Hy to all and sorry my bad english.
I have a problem with my X1.
Originaly had Windows mobile 6.1 stock.
I want to change rom, I hardspl, i install new rom, all ok, no problem. Now i have Windows Mobile 6.5 and I am not satisfied how works.
I want to get back to windows mobile 6.1 stock but I can`t.

If I want to hard spl or boot from desktop, conects ok, but when the phone restart to enter in bootloader the conection goes off.
All what I can do is to reinstall (reset) this version what is in the phone memory WM6.5. Anithing else don`t work. No mather what rom i choose or what method.
