I have recently got 2 off these cheap.
They are both locked to Vodaphone and are G4 models.
I wish to upgrade them with the most up to date OS which is stable either 6.0 or 6.5.
Now looking at all the information my head is spinning.
How do I go about installing all this software without turning the phone into an ornament?!!!
Please explain in idiots terms please.
Thanks SC
Surely someone should know how to do this!??
Help......
SC
I know this has been covered loads but this is what is confusing me.
Some of the links are dead and their now is way too much information (if that's possible!) on this forum.
I made a mistake when I said mine was a G4, it is a G3 device.
Thanks
SC

ROM Version:2.25.11.1 WWE
Radio Version:02.25.11
ExtROM Version:2.25.11.102
and the sim card is locked and is G3
I've been searching around and iv seen all these ROMs out there but im not sure what does what and what will work with my phone. So can someone please make a list of current ROMs that will work with my phone? And if possible, can you provide a description of any features and included programs.
Thanks very much ahead of time
Wow what a great idea!
Sounds like a great project for someone who wants this information. Please be so kind as to post it once you've finished.

funny thing thats how i found this thread, if I had one wish for cristmas is would be a list of all 8125 compatable roms, and maybe even a small description of what they ACTUALLY do. Come on Santa Nerd, oh and give my best the the digi-missus.
Hello i am new to this forum and just wanted to say hi to all of you.
I am little confused as i recently brought new O2 XDA ATOM and the every thing is new to me.
Hoping i will find all my answers here.
There are lot of WM6 in here, can any one suggest me the best and working one for my O2 Xda Atom. Is upgrading safe or just changing the theme is better, as my mobile is new and i don't wanted to loose it.
For your atom.. just changing theme is better cuz there isnt WM6 for atom yet...
Two very important things you need to know about changing the OS (ROM):
1) It will void all warranty for the device! Unless you are using an official update released by the carrier.
2) If you do not do it correctly or the process is interrupted in the middle for any reason your device becomes a brick!
Now that I put the fear of ROMs in to you, welcome to the forum!
Hi,
I'm a non-technical person therefore I hope someone can help me with some easy to follow instructions.
I have a new HTC tytnII/Kaiser which is on the Orange (UK mobile operator)network with the horribly slow Orange software.
Can someone tell me how I can remove the Orange software and make my TytnII run faster and stop crashing so much?
I need some simple step-bystep instructions.
Can anyone help?

i have orange
i used alex rom v5 its fantastic. i had to hard-spl my phone then download the alex rom and instal it and i am so happy that all the rubish from orange has gone. i also tryed duttys rom its a very good rom to. but i like the nice colours that the alex rom gives you. thire is a few cab files you need to down load as well but in the alex threds youll find them these are for miner bugs. i get paid next week and will def be giving a donation. i hope this helps by the way i have two phones both orange both tytn11 mine and my sons and he loves it as well. i phoned orange and for £20.00 they gave me the code to unlock the sim so i can use any sim card. i had to read the forums for about a week befoure i felt comfortuble to flash the rom but as i said im so clad i did.
Hello everyone! I'm new around here. I was looking to update the rom on my HTC Diamond Touch and I found this great website. First I just want to say I have all the respect in the world for you guys because this is pretty high science. All this modding and tweaking takes skill from what I see.
Anyways, I read a lot of the stickies that say read this first before posting quesitons and all that.
I am finding that these links have been most helpful for me so far.

I just have a few concerns that these were mostly written a year ago; and on the ROM discussion board, new stuff is coming out everyday it looks like.
I need some help making sure my bases are covered when I start to update my HTC Diamond Touch. Such as having all my references ready in case something may go wrong or having the right bootloader or whatever.
1.) I want to update my ROM because it is pretty old (stock 10/27/08 edition) and it is a little sluggish at times. Can someone give me some advice on a solid ROM? I do not need "everything", like "omg iPhone pwnage ROM" but just a solid, works well, looks good, few bugs or crashes ROM ... good battery life is a plus too!
2.) I don't know the version of my phone. Like "CDMA" etc? This is my phone company.
Cellcom -> HTC Diamond Touch
http://www.cellcom.com/personal/phones/compare_phones/phone_3c128e2806c4/
3.) Similar to #1, what "radio" should I use, etc? Once again I am very new to all this and the tech stuff about modding I do not have locked in yet.
I really just need some guidance because I do not want to brick my new phone and have a paperweight...
Thanks everyone and once again, all the respect to you guys! Knowledge is power and you all take the cake with this stuff.
All advice is helpful! And if you want to flame me for being a "noob," I got the fire hose ready.
EDIT - UPDATE -
I think I want to use this ROM -
Default |6.5|DIAM||ROM||WWE|| ** EnergyROM Series "Magic" 23001 ** || Build 2009630
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=517300
Standard Edition one?
Which Radio?

4.) How do I know if I am security unlocked? (SIM-unlocked too? I have service from Cellcom (my provider) but what does that entail for the other stuff?)
Thanks again~
UPDATE-
I security unlocked, installed Juicy 8 ROM and a Telus radio ... so far so good!
How do I download the rom?
Sorry I am new.
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
