Or you could just go to the phone manufacturers website and download the applicable file there and follow their (comprehensive) instructions. If you want to keep things all official, it's actually a very straightforward process. You only need to bother with hardSPL etc if you want to flash a custom ROM. A very important question you should ask yourself is why do I want WM 6.1. If you're thinking it's newer so it must be more reliable/better/faster etc etc check out the threads in Kaiser General relating to all the problems after upgrading - at least with regards to most of the official HTC ROM offerings (certainly the current UK one is included). I tried WM 6.1 for a while and had such significant problems, I had it reverted back to 6.0.

MMMMMM
To me WM 6.1 appearance is more sexier than the WM 6.0. Thats why am looking to upgrade my device in to WM 6.1

Flying Kiwi has a point about doing it officially - I'd forgotten that there was an official 6.1 rom. That said, for me custom roms are much more fun!
I've had both 6.0 and 6.1 on my phones and to be honest, I can't tell the difference.

What are you doing with your phone ......
Having tried both, there's very little difference between the two as far as the TyTN II native ROMs are concerned. It's only the customised ROMs that offer a flashier flash (but you can also get alot of that stuff through installing cabs - full details in the wiki and by searching/reading up on the xda-dev website).

Original posted edited, irrelevant,

If i install a 6.5 rom can i revert back to 6.1 htc rom?

Just in case i dont like it or am i stuck with cooked roms thereafter?

Yes, Once installed HardSPL, you can put on any rom you wish,
This means, that you can flash Official Roms (Perhaps to change language) or Cooked Roms, As long HardSPL is on your device, you can reflash any Rom that is built for your device
Since HardSPL cannot be removed by flashing a rom (you can remove it with the removal utility) you don't have to worry about Official or Cooked roms ;-)

Hey!
Thanks for such an informative and quick reply!
I'm just thinking about my warranty etc and also whats the best 6.5 to try whilst i have your help?
Does Dutty not do Tpaz roms?
Cheers

W.r.t warranty, if you ever have to send your phone in for repair under warranty, be sure to remove hard SPL with the removal tool first

Thanks mate, whats the 6.5 rom you are running like? is it fast? any benefits?

Dutty does not work on the Topaz (yet? xD)
I still use a highly (self) customized stock rom,
If you want to use a 6.5 rom I'd recommend Tom's or udK's roms.
And indeed, if you ever need to return your phone, Try to flash a stock rom & remove HardSPL from your device, and you should be ok ;-)

I am running Tom Codons' latest 6.5 ROM - Biggest benefit to me is that windows media player appears to have more video codecs than before - I can now play vids that would not play on 6.1.
Toms ROM is genreally fast and bug free and he includes a registry editor for your convenience!

Ok great thanks guys!
As HTC dont supply a stock rom are the original rooms on the wiki mirror the same?

The ROM's which names start with RUU... are official ROM's from HTC. The question is if you find the original ROM that is on your TOPAZ right now.
If it is not listed yet, you might not be able to get back to your original status once u flashed a cooked ROM.
A possibility is to dump your original ROM and try to create the files for reflashing it. I never tried by myself, but I see in the threads of "TOPAZ ROM development" that it is not that easy.
At the end it's your decision to accept the risk.

Great thanks!
Well im flashing with Toms 6.5 rom and yeah i have hardspled
Cheers guys!
oh and i have a tomtom 7 version, what sat nav you all preferring? need to get an 'extended' version ideally to play with

I had some voice problems with tomtom, So I use iGo8

what did that cost ya?

Not that much *rolling eye's*
Although tomtom is fine with the fix...

Go with Garmin GMXT just google for the K*y Gen and procedures.

Looks like garmin dont like built in gps? at least not what i tried!

Garmin XT is working fine on my Topaz, no problems with the built in GPS.

I use Garmin XT - it works flawlessly and I'm very happy with it.
I was previously using Tomtom but had the voice command cut-off problem and the fix available here didn't fix it.

@ Garmin XT users,
I don't know that particular GPS software,
And have 2 questions about it,
1) Does it have Dutch voices?
2) Does it have a Belgium only map?
If you could answer these questions I would be very happy,
Cause iGo8 isn't the best there is either

Yes, the Netherlands is listed in the voice options. I don't think a Belgium only map is available. I have the Europe map with mine.

aww, thats sad, I only use a Belgian map, So I don't need all the others...
Well I'll look into it ;-)
Thanks for your reply!
*edit* It seems like they have Benelux maps... Which is Belgium Netherlands Luxembourg
Lets fire up that search engine x)

Some questions

Hi there!
I was just offered a Trinity, so I came here looking for information on how to update it. I already read a lot of things and managed to install the latest Radio and tried some custom ROMs, no problems whatsoever.
However, I still have some questions I can't find answers for:
1 - Why use a custom ROM? Isn't it possible to use the original WM and then install only what you want?
2 - If it is, where can I find a ROM with the original WM6.1 and 6.5?
3 - If not, what is the least modified ROM I can get with 6.1 and 6.5? Or at least some ROM with only the basics.
4 - Is TouchFlo the same as Manilla? I've seen both words but I don't know the differences.
Thanks in advance!

1. Flashing Custom ROM is faster then installing a whole package like with manila2d.
2. No, trinity only ship with original 6.0 ROM.
3. If you want 6.1 ot 6.5, flash an Ultralite ROM or cook your own. For p3600i 6.1 - try this
p3600i 6.5 try this
If you have the original p3600. Check the Trinity Upgrade Article in the wiki. Remember Lite ROM.
4.TouchFLO is the original that is shipped with the Elf/in
Kaiser etc... Manila is TouchFLO3D and it is bundled with the Diamond and Pro. And Manila2D a slimmed version of TF3D that is used in the Viva and 3G and can be installed in most WM phones.

No Stock Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM

Hello people! I wish to install a Windows Mobile 6.5 rom on my HD. But have failed to find any stock ROM for the HD. i want to install only stock. Has there never been a release of WM 6.5 by HTC for the HD? Will there ever be?
Im sorry if Im repeating a pre existent thread but trust me I did use the search feature and didnt find a thread talking about this particular issue.
Experts please help. THANKS heavily in advance.

There's no Stock WM6.5 for Touch HD. WM6.5 ROM in this xda is non official ROM. if you want stock ROM, please install WM6.1 for HD. it is official released by HTC

That is sad. But then if I have to install a custom 6.5 rom, wont that make my device unstable? Would it make it slower than now? Custom roms arent stable enough is what I know.

it's not a stability problem!
even WM 6.1 custom non official ROMs are stabler and speeder than WM 6.5 ones...
it's a kernel problem!!
The one used in WM 6.5 custom ROMs is unofficial...and not made by HTC...and that's what made WM 6.5 a little bit slower than WM 6.1...
but (expecially COM2 builds) are stable as well as WM 6.1...just slower (not dued to cooker inexperience but) because HTC didn't develop a 6.5 kernel for our blackstone...

Thanks Kenia for this wonderful rom uv made. I am going through your forum pages currently reading about your rom. It really is awesome work!
By the way, is there a way to install titanium screen and WM 6.5 lock screen on top of stock 6.1 rom?

nope, for titanium and the new lockscreen you will have to install WM 6.5.
There might be some WM 6.5 lockscreen look-a-likes for WM 6.1, but as far as i know it's not possible to have titanium on wm 6.1. Technically it is possible, but a lot of things would have to be modded (which is a looooooot of work) in order to get it to work on WM 6.1

Titanium requires some stuff from system core of WM 6.5...just like the honeycomb start menu...
so it's impossible to port it...
as regards the lockscreen you can have it through the marvelous Co0kie's Home Tab which ebodies this feature...
and you can choose between WM 6.5, HD Mini and iphone-like lockscreen...
Anyway thanks to all for the compliments..

I got the perfect thing for you
You should try Miniterrors Ravage ROM it's in dutch or in WWE.
It is the fastest STOCK 6.5 rom out here on XDA.
You should download the WWE Clean without (or with) HTC Messaging.
It's fast, low battery drainage and it is stock!
Hope it helps!

please flash first n let us know the feedback. you cannot ask anybody to act on behalf of you. different person, different opinion. try Cloudy 1.9 with or without HTC Messaging... it works perfect for me.

I never presumed anyone to act on my behalf. Because I am only asking for opinions from experts who have run it before on their Blackstones. I have never flashed a custom rom hence probably just a little apprehensive.

There are a lots of roms here, the best way to find what you want its to try, use another phone and take a week to try the diferent roms around here.
If we all like the same, we didn't have a lot of roms around here, see what roms have good feedback, see if you like the style or the coocked app in it and flash.
A stable coocked rom its allways better then stock.

T Mobile official rom question

Just upgraded from wm 6.1 pro to t mobile wm 6.5 official rom on MDA compact V,not very impressed it`s pants,my question is if I use a cooked rom from here do I still have to hard spl the device,can some please help ,
Maybe some links to help me on my way,ie hspl links and best roms ect etc
Desparate.
thankyou.

Yes, you must install HSPL first.
Have a read here to get you started.

IMO the stock ROMS don't get anywhere close to the cooked ones on here. I changed my T-mobile ROM to one of Dutty's and have never looked back. The speed and the look of it is just unreal in comparison to the original. Go for it!
Ps It's really simple to do so don't worry.
