Hi,
I've been reading through a few posts on the forums and am considering taking the plunge. One thing i just wanted to see if anyone could clear up for me is
1) Is any roms now using the RTM of windows mobile 6.5
2) I have a UK O2 Ignito which looks exactly like the HTC Diamond. As not sure is exactly flashing any roms for the HTC Diamond will this fail?
3) If there is roms compatable with the Ignito and is using the final RTM of 6.5 which roms are recommened and proceedures to do.
Thanks in advanced to any answers
MK

All the answers to your questions regarding flashing are here.
As for WM6.5, they are still a little buggy for me at the moment. I'd wait a while until all the little issues are ironed out. Of course, if you don't mind the odd little bug here and there, try a few yourself.

I've had my tilt for over a year now and I'm very comfortable with it. I know the in's and out's and it's very tweaked out as it is. However, I'm ready to start messing with the ROM, but only to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.5.
To my knowledge, 6.1 was officially released for the Tilt on the HTC Support website. But I also know there's a rom floating around here somewhere and I've seen testimonials and video's from others claiming the 6.5 rom works on the Tilt.
But I have no clue where to start, what ROM to use and what's the best method for backing up my data? I'm fairly sure it deletes everything, and that I need to take out my microsd card before doing so. Will various 3rd party apps stop working?
Would the xda community be so kind as to get me started?
This thread should answer most, if not all your questions. And this forum contains all Kaiser ROMS. My advice is to just try a lot of different ROMs until you find one you like.

Thanks, that's what I was looking for.
Hi all
OK well im probably not the only one new to the forum but i seem to be going blind trying to find all the answers to all my questions so i thought i would post some and see what happens.
I have an orange htc touch 3g on contract but HATE this os etc. (win 6.1). NOw from what i can gather there are some coolie builds for 6.5 out there or similar but i need t really really easy guild to flashing it.
Its got SPL 1.71 on it. so can someone link me to the right areas to go from where i am now with a turd os to an all sing all dancing 6.5 Please
Thanks
Jeff

hi there people, dont hate me and apologies if this question either seems ignorant or whether its been answered before.
so here goes...
ive got a branded vodafone tp2, its sim unlocked so im using a Tmob UK sim inside and loving every minute, awesome fone.
now i can see there's a buzz about getting wm6.5 official ROM onto my device so im wondering a few things.
I went to the HTC web site and tried to download the official ROM but it mentioned it wasnt suitable for my device, ill put that down to it being branded/raped by Voda..?
what im wondering also is, if i could get the official unbranded wm6.5 ROM onto my unit (my mate has just upgraded his from HTC as it was unbranded at POS so will try n get him to upload onto my unit)would it work?
ill have to admit ive been a fan sice getting my first HTC fone (the Universal) years ago but have now realised that if u want a decent experience to next time go unbranded.
do you guys think ill have to wait for Vodas bastard son of a thousand maniacs ROM (Voda wm6.5) to be up on their site before i can have winmo 6.5 on my device and has anyone seen if its that God horrible red n white which i just cant stand.
im using manila 2.1 atm yto cover it up and have been pleased how it got rid of the Voda rubbish.
again apologies if ive asked some thing answered and thanks in advance for any help.
i am a toatl noob to "flashing" etc so any advice would be awesome.
id also like to give shouts out to all developers for keeping us all up to date and connected.
you guys are the unsung heros of win mo so please keep up the good work as im sure we all would agree, its greatly appreciated
with thanks graph1uk
Mate...you should do some reading at those sticky threads...
No one will answer those questions.
if u cant wait ur official 6.5 rom come out. Just do the hardspl and flash using 6.5 europe official rom. do more reading please. thanks.
I have a Vodafone TP2 too, and don't have any vodafone software on it anymore. All you need to do is flash with HSPL, then you can install any ROM you like from this forum, but seriously read the stickies. This one specifically:

Like others are saying, you just need to HSPL your phone and flash the hell outta it After the flash, you will have your new 6.5 ROM, without voda crap Good luck!
Ok.. If you are new to the flashing world... you must first understand a few things. A bit of reading around would definitely help you understand better.
- First you would have to Hard SPL your device. You can find our how to do that from this thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131. At the end of the 1st post you would have to download this file: Rhodium-HardSPL_V2_00R3_185HSPL.zip
Once you do that, you are all set for the world of fantasy... Screw the official release of WM 6.5 release.. you have better than official release here at XDA. You can try the latest WM 6.5 and 6.5.1 ROMs cooked with Mannila Sense 2.1 and 2.5
So, Flash away dude... and Good luck.
The voda update is here : http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=384&e=0
As stated before, please use the stickies and the wiki for reference before starting a new thread.
All the answers are there somewhere .
Thanks
Dave
Hello, is there an Official 6.5 rom from HTC without any added software or anything?
and if not, then what is the best and fastest 6.5 cooked rom out there?
Thats exactly what I was looking for as well.
Just 6.5 with no extra apps, fast as you like and all the HTC skinnage!
Thanks.
WM6.5 will not be released by HTC for the HD.
Therefore any 6.5 ROM for the HD must be cooked, however minimalist.
Try this... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=578338&highlight=vanilla
If you had done a bit of research beforehand you would have realised that HTC aren't releasing wm6.5 officially for the HD, so you won't be getting it.
However search these forums and you'll find lite roms as other people have requested this!! I see one link has been provided above.
Also to ask for best cooked rom is an opinionated query which is generally frowned upon in XDA as it created endless long threads with no solution because everyone has different opinions!!

Hi all firstly great forums, secondly i am a complete tard when it comes to technology so be gentle please..........
Ok i just recieved my Diamond 2 and i was wondering if you could help me with the basic upgrades i should get right away before i do anything with it and how to do those ie 6.5, ROM stuff etc bear in mind i havent a clue about these phones as it is my first new phone for along time.
Also which memory card should i buy for about £20...£35 i want an 8-16gb, do i need to get a micro or normal size ? a class 2, 4, 6 ?
The phone is from London and sim free if that helps.
So is there any upgrades that are a must or i should definately get before i start playing around with it.
Thanks in advance for any replies and for your time.
Peter
Peter, you better post this in the right forum, this is the Diamond (1) forum, and you have a Diamond 2, that's known here as Topaz.
btw...to upgrade your Topaz to WM6.5 i believe there is an official ROM released by HTC, i'm sure there's a link to that one in the Topaz ROM development forum; this ROM you can flash 'out of the box' cuz it's an official one.
However, if you want to upgrade to another, custom WM6.5. ROM you have to run HardSPL on the phone to be able to do that.
Start reading the Topaz ROM development forum (esp the stickies with very usefull info) and you'll figure it out i'm sure.
Good luck and congrats with your new phone...it's way faster then the Diamond 1, but not as beautiful
Thanks alot for pointing me in the right direction i was abit lost on the forums as to where to post.
Thanks again.
