Hello to all,
Can it someone explain to me in steps how I can install WM6 on my HTC3600?
Currently is on Germany language, but I would like to switch it on English.
Thanks a lot on your help.
Regards
1) decide which rom you want (I used LVSW)
2) go to the thread and read 1st post
3) grab the 3 files attached
4) they are zip's, extract each to thier OWN folder.
5) go to each folder IN TURN as listed in the thread and run ROMUtilityUpgrade that is enclosed IN EACH folder.
STOP between each folder / Upload to phone and check your phone
THE VERY first one HardSPL MAY give an error, HOWEVER just run it again, seems ActivSync throw a fit and then the computer has to re-connect, HOWEVER after that off you go.
ALSO use NON-Vista machine

Extract each to it's own folder.
Do them in the order listed in the post ... HardSPL, Radio, WM6.

Can you give to me little help with a GPS tomtom 6....?
What I need to download and install?
No worries
What exactly do you want to know about tom tom?
First off I'll assume you are buying the software. In which case you want this
http://www.tomtom.com/products/product.php?ID=281&Category=2&Lid=1
now you dont have to buy it from them direct, however that is the product you want (it may be cheaoer elsewhere)
If it's already on a memory card.... just pop the card in the slot and it'll do everything for you.
I would HIGHLY recommend making a copy of the card contents to your computer, just use activ synch and explre the device till you get to the storage card then copy and paste the entire contents of the card to somewhere safe.......
Then EITHER push this up to a larger card or carry on with the card you buy.
Install Tom Tom home on your computer, it will then synchronise your maps and voices and stuff BUT more importantly it'll auto update your software for you.
You need to be running 6.03
in this version tom tom can be set to use "built in gps receiver" after that away you go... simple and Deech proof
edit for spelling mistakes
lol.. you are really fast....
can it be anything without buying orginal software or maps ?
It can and if you know where to look I am sure you will find what you seek young Jedi
I arent going to preach but note I did buy this software mainly for updates and technical back up
If you "acquire" the software read any threads / forums from the place where you get it from
Fast cos laid on the couch nursing a size 10 thick head after last night
ihihihihihi...
okay..... i will search... my the force be with me
Again problem,
Im facing with extremly battery drain, after charging standby was just 36 hours, before was around 5-7 days i think.
Is there any solution for this??
Thank you... Mr.Vader
An my young jedi, yes there is....... and if I can get it to work it should be attached to this post.... Also read the MuN RUS Rom thread it has been flagged-up thier with alsorts of solutions including this .cab
Drop it onto your memory card and ermmm run it
I get an corrupted image error when I try and flash the hard-spl?
Anyone know how I can get around this? tried searching for info and the search function just brang up unrelated posts, and theres nothing on the wiki despite it being a common problem.
So please forgive my stupidity, and enlighten me on how to solve this?
I have an M700 with shipped rom installed
Thanks in advance,

after i upgrade to wm6, how hard is it if i want to go back to wm5, how hard is it to downgrade? Do I have to back anything up?
back up contacts etc
back up ringtones etc
grab a rom with WM5 in / on it, and re-re-flash the phone, leave the radio rom as it was mind as it's seperate from the WM section

Ahhh great thanks.
Just what I was after.
As you are using the LVSW like myself you may have an answer to my other question.
Is there a .cab file to fix the awefull sound on WM6 and the trinity?
Media player is so quiet, if I can't fix it, I'm going back a stage to WM5 as I use the MP3 player side of it allot.
Many thanks.
Shaun.
Hi,
i have just loaded wm6 following the instructions here and now i am getting USB device is not recognized.
Can anyone suggest a solution?
Thanks
Stephen
are there any issues not completely solved on the available non-official WM6 ROMs for Trinity?
I'd like to upgrade mine, but only if all the initial problems have already been solved.
BTW, my Trinity came with TomTom 6 pre-installed. If I upgrade to WM6, will I have to purchase and install a new copy of the software?
All seems to work fine now, any issues then there will be a .cab file around here somewhere, main ones are ATIfix, when does somthing to make tomtom work nicely, power fix which address' some power useage issues.
The tomtom that come with the handset is a crippled try before you buy version (well it is here in the UK ) So ermmm yes, you would need to buy a full version, but on the plus side it's yours forever and no matter what you do to your phone you can always put it back Unless the tom tom is on your SD card in which case REMOVE the card before you start and re-install when you've finished rom-ing
Failed with upgrade to wm6
Hi all
I just got mine 3600 and tried to upgrade to wm6 with the 3 files. When I run the first hard-spl program I had problems with the connection with the usb cable. The program aborted after a second or so. Now I am stucked with this colured image with the text
TRIN100
IPL-0.50
TRIN100
SPL-1.07.0000
is there any way for me to correct this. Or do I have to send the phone for repair?
Grateful for all help
/adam
Active sync doesn't get a connection to the 3600 anymore....
Read the second post in this thread, on page one, in the instructions I wrote it tells you THIS IS NORMAL, dont worry about activesync, when doing hard SPL the first time it regularly disconects and hangs the phone with the tri-colour screen, soft reset the phone and re-start the procees (ie run the first file again). That should see you right
So I got my phone about 3 weeks ago well the low program memory kinda make it hard to do things I do on my mda so I was wondering is there anything I can do about this or is a different os a better choice? sorry im a ppc newb
xda is a great place to find things.
If you are referring to program memory, or RAM, then you should install the quick page pool changers. Generally 6 or 4 mb is used.
If you are referring to storage memory, you should probably flash another rom.
Wings/Heralds do not need to be cid unlocked, but rather can be flashed using what is referred to as "aserg's method"
When you download a rom, there is a .cab called Aserg policies.cab. Flash this to your wing, soft reset, and then click on 1_UPGRADE_ROM.bat. Follow the instructions from there.
Before you flash make sure to install a fresh ruu.
I'm assuming you know about RUUs and stuff from the MDA/Wizard.
THe best rom right now is the Touch-it for Wings 1.1
But the 2.0 version is coming soon (its already here for heralds), with even more delectable awesomeness.
I'm sorry I didn't go into details I'm speaking on both storage and program but program mostly, I am a newb for both mda and wing since I got both within a week for me and my bro if you could explain a little simpler I would appreciate it. I notice the original rom on the wing is buggy so I think a different rom would be better. how would I go about saving the original rom just in case? Thanks again I'm sorry if you guys get this a lot

Since you have a Wing, I'd suggest trying the Touch It ROM found here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=332789
Really read the entire process first, read it close and don't skip steps.
Before hand, run PIM Backup and copy the resulting file to your PC.
You can get that here:

I don't know much about the MDA, though.

fzzyrn - is there a reason why you feel TOUCH-IT is the best ROM? It will help if you can share / elaborate / educate. I have installed PDAVIET and it seems to work great as well but I am wondering what is the actual difference between the two besides the extra apps....
Hi all,
I had an O2 XDA Stellar which I believe is the HTC TYTN II. However, this phone was stolen a couple of weeks back. I purchased a second hand one today which is sim locked to the orange network. I managed to break the lock by following the instructions on this link http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835. I followed the instructions word for word till step 5.
The problem is now though it accepts the SIM and I can dial out, I don't have any audio on the calls So I can call and my phone also rings when I receive a call but I can't hear the caller nor can I be heard at the other end
Also, I hate the orange rom (and I used to complain about the O2 rom) and I wish to use the default HTC WM 6.1 professional upgrade the problem again is that it asks for a serial number and my serial number starts with DCOxxxxxxxxxxx and it says that this is not a valid serial number
What do I do now? Has my phone become a brick Please do help I can't bear the thought of having one stolen and the other toasted by me
All help will be greatly appreciated

Did you actually read anything or did you just start hacking away ? I will cut and paste a few items out of that thread, so that you don't have to actually read it .
PLEASE READ THE *FAQ* BEFORE FLASHING OR ASKING QUESTIONS!!!
* IF YOU DONT NEED TO FLASH A NEW ROM THEN PROCEED TO STEP 6 TO PUT YOUR DESIRED RADIO BACK*
7. After I flash a Rom I dont have any sound in calls and the camera is black
The Radio has to match the version of Rom you flash i.e. WM6.1, an incorrect Radio will give sound and camera problems. Read The Ultimate Radio Thread to find a Radio that matches the Rom there are lots to try on there if one doesnt work then try another.
3. What are the different types of Unlock?[/B] (answer by DaveShaw)
The three stages of unlock are:
SIM: Allows you to use SIM's from another carrier. Can be done using codes or unlocker programs on xda-devs.
Security: Allows you to flash radios from another device - It does other stuff, but this is all the casual user will use it for
CID: CID unlocking is an old concept, nowadays you flash HardSPL instead. This lets you flash any ROM, Splash or Radio (depending on sec unlock) to your device. N.B. the CID is the carrier ID (e.g. HTC__001). The stock SPL's only let you flash ROM's that match the CID in the ROM image with the CID on your device.
Obviously you did not unlock your phone if a serial number is needed to flash a new rom. I would re read everything and do it again
Thanks for the reply

I've been through this link as well and I was contemplating installing the latest version of the HTC WM6.1 ROMS (version 3.34.721.2, radio version 1.70.19.09) available at http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs However I was not sure if this would be ok and (at the risk of sounding extremely dumb) I was not sure what WWE stood for

I maintained the default that was given by the unlocker for the CID (I think all zeros). Do I have to change this as per the ROM image? I don't mind re-doing this again it's a relief that my device isn't busted
No your phone isn't busted. Go into bootloader and check what it says next to spl, if you followed Mark's steps, it should say 3.29 Hard. If that is what it says ,then you can flash any Kaiser rom you want. If it doesn't then start over again.
WWE stands for World Wide English and those roms are all in English. That rom you picked will be fine, if you do not wish to explore the fine world of custom roms ? Maybe later.
You only have to CID unlock once by following the steps, not at every rom flash.
No sound means wrong radio, 6.0 roms need 6.0 radios and 6.1 roms need 6.1 radios. If the rom has a radio in it already then flash away.
Thanks Denco Flashed the ones I mentioned and it works perfect. Can't believe I actually have a working device Thanks for all your help, really great.
Now to sync my data to my new (second hand) htc and I'm good to go
Another question, the device works fine, however since it is a HK rom, it seems to have localised to HK. I've changed this as much as possible to UK. However, I'm wondering if this will affect anything else? For example the gps? Is there any quicker way to configure this globally so all settings use UK instead of HK?
Why didn't you flash the latest UK ROM.
Use this code: HT750GB02264 to download from HTC's site.

Once you are unlocked and HardSpl'd you can flash any rom you want. Pick a UK one another WWE rom or a custom rom. Test a bunch until you have one you like. Your only restriction is it has to be a Kaiser rom. And with all the Kaiser roms available, it is not a restriction at all.

Wow, thanks for that, I was looking for a valid serial through which I can download from the htc uk site One question I had is do I install the radio which I download from htc? Or do I keep the one I have already flashed? The one I have flashed yesterday seems to be a later version than what I've downloaded from htc

1. I keep hearing on this forum about Hard SPL, I'm not sure what this is used for or why it is required but I followed the instructions and it seems I had installed JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe. Now, since then I had flashed the rom, so do I need to reinstall this again? Is there some other one I should be using? I come across different versions on some threads. Also, how can I check the version of HardSPL I have?
2. When I view the memory (under settings) it shows me Storage and Program. However, I can't seem to see any storage area in file explorer. I know in my old xda 2i, there used to be a separate storage area. The reason is because some of the apps I install are quite bulky for example lexisgoo english dictionary (the dictionary files themselves are about 18mb) and this fills up the main memory. How can I install this in the storage memory? (not storage card since I sometimes swap storage cards)
Sorry lot of questions I know, but I'm a newbie and all help will be greatly appreciated
The UK downloaded ROM will install the radio too.
I would do a bit of testing with your current set-up, then flash the UK ROM.
Test the new UK ROM & radio & then reflash the radio only if you want (do some searching on Radio versions)
Newer versions are not always best, chasing the latest builds normally bites you in the ass at the end of the day.
Check HardSPL by going into bootloader:
* Using a stylus, press and hold the soft reset button at the bottom of the phone along with the camera button
* Release both buttons once the bootloader screen appears
* Exit bootloader by pressing soft reset button
Once you have installed HardSPL thats it, job done (you installed it during unlocking)
What you see in file explorer regarding storage is correct: 128MB RAM for running software ect & 256MB ROM for storing your programs ect (WM2003SE was different)
ROM can be increased by using one of the cooked lite ROMs if storage space is a concern.

Will do, the HK version seems very stable, the only thing that bothers me is the region settings. Anyway, I think I'll give the UK Rom a go and if that works well I'll stick with it

I've attached a screenshot of my memory screen. The bit that puzzles me is that the storage area apparently has a lot more storage but I do not have an option to install all my applications on that area or atleast the bulky ones. I don't think I need a lite one since I do have 112MB free in the storage area which is more than sufficient for all the apps I usually install. Can you advise how I can install apps to the storage area as well?
Lastly, I was wondering if it is possible for me install my apps on the rom and then kind of take an image of my setup and flash the rom with this setup. That way when I do a hard reset, all my apps are installed again. Which will save me the trouble I know sprite backup does something like this but I'd prefer if it was in the rom
Thanks for all your help, it has given me a lot of confidence in these matters. Something I probably wouldn't have attempted

I agree 101% and it appears fewer resources are put into ironing out bugs in the WM 6.1 ROMs than the WM 6.0 ones. I replied to fmervin's post in the ROM forums along these lines.
If all is running OK I would stick with your current HardSPL.
When installing your applications choose the option of installing to "Device"
You could install all your apps into a ROM, this would be cooking a ROM & is a complex process.
I would suggest a backup via Sprite or SPB. I use SPB v2.0 build3065 & it works well for me, preference of backup software is a bit of a Marmite scenario, you either love it or hate it.

You can't do that, it is flash memory. It's not like you can partition the hard drive.
But this is the easiest way to get your Apps and settings back after a flash.
Try this Sashimi Auto installer by a former XDA member. It is a nice little program that installs all your apps after a flash

Hey Denco..Than'x for considering my thread & giving out suggestion towards the link to check the info. But i m really nt that techy afterall so i can burn a ROM on my Tytn II. Even though i tried to burn a RUU rom that supports TyTN II ..Its just gets disconnected from USB mode..So i was looking forward to start it initially with some comparatively easier to install .cab files..Can't these RUU files be transformed into .cab files or maybe some other version of Manila 3D cab file that is completely fixed...I seriously have done a lot of research upon this but nothing looks like working. So please if you have some links to .cab files that can give a better & different look to my Kaiser running Windows 6.1...It'l be a great help !!
Than'x & regards in advance

I think you need to decide what it is that you want to accomplish. Unless you cook your own rom, there is no way to add apps to the rom ( so that they will remain after a hard reset) Your rom is wyour phone's base operating system, it contains your OS (WM 6.1 ) and can only be replaced after completely erasing and replacing all files from the previous rom.
If it is a new rom you want, pick a rom that interests you and follow these instructions verbatim .
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=433835
Your phone will go to the bootloader screen ( three color) and it will disconnect from usb during the process, but be patient until the end. When it says it takes ten minutes, it takes ten minutes. Leave the room if you have to , to keep from getting impatient.
If you just want to keep your OEM WM 6.1 and keep it simple, but change the look of your phone try this,
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Manila+2D+and+M2D+Themes
This will change the look and feel of your phone with uninstallable .cab files and will not affect the rom or brick your phone by accident.
I have been trying different roms to try to upgrade my phone to WM6.5 and so far the roms I've tried won't even load onto my phone. The download status bar will come up but it goes nowhere then it says update error. The phone will turn back on and work with the stock WM6.1
I'm just looking for a very clean OEM style WM6.5 ROM. Any recommendations?

Have you read the Dummies Guide? If not, you should do this. Just try some roms to see what fits better to your needs.
Assuming you hardspl or setup for USPL prior to flashing any ROM's. I have the 8285 and run the following ROM's: NRG LEO, PDAVIET LEO, and MIRI's LEO based ROM's. I personally keep going back to NRG as I have followed him from other devices and like his work. All the cooks are great. I also flash from SD card vs. using Activesync, find it faster and more reliable.
NRG is clean and mostly bug free ? yea from what you're saying maybe I did do something wrong. I'm not too advanced on this, I downloaded the energy rom and tried to update it. I've done nothing previous

well then that's why you're having problems for sure. as others have mentioned follow the Dummies Flashing Guide. if you're using HardSPL, make sure the top (RED) section of your bootloader looks like this Pic of Bootloader with HardSPL. when it looks like this, you're ready to flash a ROM!!
OK I found the 156OliNex.zip file. I put the phone into bootloader mode, when I tried to launch the file it would not execute. It flashes up on the screen for a second and that's it. I made sure that the windows firewall is turned off
Best, the least error, safest flashing tool USPL
i highly recommend you use USPL : I still yet have to see someone who had a problem after using USPL. This is even endorsed by Dutty Throy (you can see that he even states that this is the SAFEST METHOD) - Moderator ROM Cooker par excellence!

format your sd card using fat32 (full format) (if you are a frequent flasher I suggest you get a small capacity sd card – 1Gb - and devote this only for flashing)
rename the RUU_signed.nbh to BLACIMG.nbh and pair this with ROMUpdateUtility -(application file). copy this two files in you formatted sd card.
then using Digital Outcast's USPL GUI: look here

if you're using Vista see this to update your sync driver

flash the ROM.
please let me know once you've done this succesfully, i wish you the best of luck!

I have been trying different roms to try to upgrade my phone to WM6.5 and so far the roms I've tried won't even load onto my phone. The download status bar will come up but it goes nowhere then it says update error. The phone will turn back on and work with the stock WM6.1
I'm just looking for a very clean OEM style WM6.5 ROM. Any recommendations?

do you have .Net installed on your PC? if not, you need to install first. if you have .Net installed, retrace your steps to make sure you've got everything setup properly, e.g., installing the driver supplied in the thread. also, if you have problems please post your questions in the Dummies thread...the moderators will close threads like this one because "all" the info you need to flash can be accessed from the Dummies thread.
yes I have NET installed on my computer. I tried using the files in the dummies guide and had issues
OK. so I finally got the NRG energy rom installed and it shows up distorted on the screen.

if you're using a WM 6.5 ROM then you do not have the right SPL installed.... look at Post #5 and make sure your bootloader looks like the one in my picture; if it doesn't then you haven't installed SPL 1.56 Olinex. again, please post your questions in the Dummies thread, you'll get appropriate help there... thanks!
I want to thank everyone for their input. I finally got a rom installed and working properly

Hi, if anyone could please help me i would be gratefull, i recently purchased a D2 but its already preloaded with WM6.5 rom version 2.53.405.5 (76952)WWE, But i really wanted WM6.1 as, among other things, i wanted to use the handwriting rec.
does anyone know what stock rom to reload? and where i can get it? sorry to ask such a basic question.
thanks in advance,

thanks for that, however it seems to have just bricked the phone
thanks for that, however it seems to have just bricked the phone
it seemed to work, all the correct messages displayed
but......
now all that happens is it turns on, shows the touch diamond2 screen, then resets
it has the following text in red in the lower left hand corner
r 3 . 43. 25 .19
g 61. 20t. 25. 10U
d 1. 39. 47382
does any one have any ideas?
Try to hard reset.
tried that before i posted
and a soft reset, and another hard reset to be sure,
i searched the forum but couldn't find any reference to that type of error either.
any ideas on how to retrieve it from paperweight mode?
Download stock ROM for your region
Unpack it with WinRar or TotalCMD
Rename RUU_signed.nbh to topaimg.nbh
Copy topaimg.nbh on your SD card
Enter bootloader (hold volume down and turn on phone) and follow instructions
edit:I guess for wm 6.1 you need lower version of SSPL
thanks dude, i used the bootloader to reinstall the latest rom from HTC.
Topaz_S2_HTC_WWE_2.53.405.5_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.44etc.25.35_4.49.25.91_Ship
my phone is no longer a brick however i am back to square 1 in that i still have wm6.5, and i want 6.1
ive tried to reflash with the older rom fighter7139 suggested
RUU_Topaz_HTC_WWE_1.39.405.3_Radio_Signed_Topaz_61.20t.25.10_3.43.25.19_Ship
but it gives me the same rebooting error.
any ideas why wont the older rom work on my phone? or if theres an alternative to that rom ?
thanks
I've loaded hardspl 1.83 and extracted the file RUU_signed.nbh and renamed it to topaimg.nbhand,
i moved it to the SD card, reflashed the phone with the 6.1 rom,
but i get the same error.
any idea on what rom i should use to update from?
or what stock spl i'd need to run this rom's version of 6.1 ?
a thought
maybe i don't even need 6.1, all i want to do is to fix two things -
1) make the sms messaging work like on the old htc devices ie diamond or tytn ie not use htc messaging
2) add handwriting recognition
- would also be nice to have the taskmanger icon, the battery icon and the original windows start menu back too, but im not dependent on them....
so i guess any rom would do that allows these functions, any help or info on this would be much appriciated

thanks for that, however that was the first thing i tried, i saw the download for the handwriting ap just after i got the phone, not knowing it didnt have it when i swapped from my diamond,
the thing is the update only works on certian AP version control builds -
the message on the site is -
Note: AP version control -> The criterion will pass if the Touch Input for Pocket is equal to Version 2.1 (Build1919.1320), or lower.
mines a higer version, which i assumed originally had to do with it being wm6.5 not 6.1,
- i have tried downloading and installing anyway but it wont load.
does anyone know how to get this update to load, or how to change the AP version control back to a lower version ?????
any help would be much appriciated.
if it matters,
i'm running Duttys HG, and ive flashed to hardspl,
i don't mind flashing back to whatever, i just really need the handwriting app
The handwriting SIP is likey hidden.
There is a reg edit to unhide, just search SIP Reg Edit and you should find it.
If I recall it was under the WM general tweaks.
thanks for that, i got the letter and block rec working, but still not the transcriber the reg key shows it should be showing, but i think the actual file may not be there,
fixed after changing the reg, and downloading the update, you then need this transcriber cab

Any luck finding a way to get 6.1 working on this phone? I just bought the Pure from AT&T as a replacement for my LG Incite that had 6.1 on it. So far I can't stand 6.5 at all. My main beef is with IE, I really like the one on my Incite vs. this one. And my other problem is with the start menu, I also prefer the drop-down style in 6.1.
Thanks for any replies or help.

Start here.
Once you unlock your phone, you can flash to anything you want.
6.5 is hands down better than 6.1, there are 6.5.219xx builds that have the drop down start menu.
Thanks Bruce!
For some reason I couldn't find a good Pure forum, so that link helps a lot.
