kinda newbie here in terms of custom ROMs or flashing but could somebody give me a step by step procedure for me to be able to upgrade my xperia x1 6.1 to 6.5? just don't want to brick my phone.
i know that there are lots of tutorial here but i can't find which is the best & stable.
every one is quite stable, if you charge your phone 100% and don't plug your cable out of the phone nothing will go wrong.
After hardspl use SD-Methode to put your 6.5 rom on your phone it's the simpliest way, there you cannot damage your phone with putting a x1 rom on your x1 (with roms from other phones it could damage your phone but i am not sure)
1-unlock yr phone with spl 0.78
2-connect phone with full charge(20% is enough)
note: DON'T use task 29 if u don't flash yr device everyday!
3-try romes to find yr best choice
there is nothing in a simple regular flashing to brick the device
thanks for the replies, im trying to consider this ROM but when i read the thread i found that there are some bugs.
is it possible to revert to 6.1 if you're not satisfied with 6.5? could a simple hard reset do the job?

it's good rom but I suggest this one....It's stable & up to date.don't use htc rom just download GTX 2.2.0 & enjoy!
about the question.no the rom is not a program,It's the os of device.like your pc.it's like that you install windows 7 instead of XP so if you Decide to go back to XP you neet to install it.
if you want to go back to WM 6.1 you need to flash the stock rom again(that is simple).but I think you'll never go back to 6.1
the link for rom I proposed
Dynamics 2.2.0

thanks, will try that & give you feedback
another set of questions....
these are the instructions in flashing x1 to 6.5 but don't understand most of it, sorry for the stupidity =)
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
Installing:
0) Make a system backup!
Useful apps: SPB Backup, PPC Pim Backup, Sprite Backup
1) Install Hard-SPL 0.78 by OliNex!
2) Put needed cabs to \Storage Card\autocfg\.
Supported formats: *.cab, *.provxml, *.reg, *.rgu.
*.CAB: by default they will be installed to internal memory. Cabs with "_ui" in their names will have an opportunity to be
installed to storage card.
*.EXE: AlphaUC can install *.EXEs from \Storage Card\autocfg\exe\. If you add "_nowait" to filename, customizer won't wait
until it finishes
3) Use task29. !!! Put kovsimg.nbh to storage card !!!
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=649230
4) Then flash needed ROM as always (via storage card or via CustomRUU). Make a Hard-Reset.
5) Wait for the end of customization. You will see message about it on the second launch.
After that make a soft-reset.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
help, the link for task29 is missing, how can i continue?
for number 4, how will i do that?

I've searched at the forum but couldn't find a good answerd for my question.
I got a Vodafone NL X1 it's currently on the Vodafone R2 release but i want to change it to the generic release(hate the vodafone crap). So my question is do I need hard spl to flash another official rom to my X1. I know that you need hard spl to flash a cooked rom but is flashing another official rom the same case?
And another question, i've read on websites that spb backup can restore a backup after a rom update. Does anyone have experience with that and is there a big change that i will have problems with that? And if I use this when I flash the generic rom instead of the vodafone one to my phone does it also restore all vodafone crap?
Hope someone can help me
thanks in advanced,

My 2c worth:
a) official ROM's have SPL in them, so you don't need hardSPL to flash these
b) regarding "restore after ROM change", in reverse order:
if you restore a full backup from your existing installation after a ROM change, it will obviously restore all that is currently there - including the Vodaphone fluff
both Spb and Sprite offer "full restore after ROM change" options - however, registry changes from one ROM to the next make this risky. Most cooks will advise against it
Oke thank you for the answerd, will do a fresh install then after the rom update
SPB restore can let you choose what to restore, the necessary things will be contacts, sms, email and documents, you can skip the programs, registry and other non personal things, but like this you will need to reinstall all programs and configure them from scratch

Yes, that's the technically correct way.
After you've upgraded the ROM and re-installed all your apps, (say) weekly Spb or Sprite backups for a full restore are obviously viable. I've been doing this for about 5 years now - saved my bacon more than once.
Still, I agree that re-installing all the apps after a ROM upgrade is a real pain in the butt. People who change ROM's constantly must have another day phone on the side
I tried to update the generic NL R2A rom from my vodafone NL R2A phone but it doesn't work. It keep saying "No image file!".
I also got another question. Is it really necessairy to format my ms before flashing. Because I only got the hancock ms and it said not to be working again when I format the ms. Thats why I didn't format the ms yet and only tried without formatting.
I have read almost all tutorials but all said I must use the hard-spl but other forums posts said I don't need when using a official rom. Anyone can help me a bit further please?
Regards,
I bought the Qtek 9100 and i would like to upgrade it. I read a few tutorials, but i still dont understand everything, this will be my first phone ROM upgrade. Please excuse me if these questions are totaly noob.
Help much appreciated.
1. I dont know if i need to CID unlock my phone, but if i do which is better, more commonly used (or safer) : SoftSPL or HardSPL?
2. I would like to upgrade to IPhone killer - Windows Mobile 6.5.1 - Build 23075, but i dont know if this ROM is supported by the qtek 9100 G4. Will it run good or not?
3. Is it possible to make a backup of the currently installed ROM, if in any unfortunate scenario i ruin my phone and then restore it to what it was before?
4. I am running windows 7 and i saw some posts saying that it cant be used for flashing and that you need virtual xp. What do i need to do in virtualxp to make it work then?
I would tell you to search or use the wiki, but I'll assume you already have, lol.
1. Yes, you need to CID-unlock the phone before flashing anything. My first and only flash was using SoftSPL, and had no problems.
2. Check the ROM topic, does it say "G4 safe" or "OS only"? Don't try do flash ROMs that aren't cooked for your device. A WM6.5 can run a little slow, dunno.
3. Yes, there is a way, but if you brick your phone, all you'll have is a paper weight and a backed-up ROM, lol. Check here: backing up ROM
4. Can you install XP itself? That would be better I guess.
Cheers
Hello!
I have a Tmobile MDA Vario 3 and the following problem:
I used my phone normally every day, and one day no ringtones are working... I can hear them choose one of the sounds, but no sound if somebody rings me...
what can it be? I dont wanna make a hardreset, because many programs on it and i dont wanna lose them...
I did a hardreset and used before sprite backup, i tested the ringtone and IT WORKS, now i put back my backup and no ringtones working now again, how can i find the mistake in the system? Can i look into the registry like normal windows too?
in another forum i saw someone means it can be the divx player, i deinstalled it, but nothings better...
I NEED HELP... what can i do?
Regards
Can't you just put the programs back on there? It's really not that hard.

Its too much for me...
Its an tmobile device and i putted manually the o2 internet settings in there nobody knows whats the defect on there?
Regards
I could flash and setup my Tilt in no time flat.
Ok, i will do a hardreset, but is there a ROM for the Vario 3 so that i have an original HTC ROM?
And can i flash the phone then to WM 6.5?
Do you have any links for me?
are you on a flashed non OEM rom?
I am on an original tmobile rom, and i i have to reset i wanna change to another rom like windows mobile 6.5, i have to change rom to a htc rom 6.1 and then i have to go to 6.5 right? i wanna put away tmobile settings on hardreset!
Well if you hard reset it will put the oem rom on it. Then you follow the instructions to be able to flash roms on it. Until you flash a rom on it, every time you hard reset it the factory rom will install.
Can you give me a link where i find a description what to do for this?
I wanna flash the rom to HTC WM 6.1 original, and after this i wanna install 6.5 is this the right way??
[Resources] Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)
No need for interim flashes after hard-spl you can flash a 6.5 make sure you read about Radio update
Maybe you have installed some softwares. let check recent installed softs and uninstall them, then restart. No need to use other rom if you like it
If it still does not work, do hard-reset.
Goodluck
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.

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.

I was reading this forum for couple of days, and by now i know that i can install Windows Mobile 6.5 on my HTC Tytn 2 (curently having Windows Mobile 6.1). And i can install android (while still having Windows Mobile 6.1)...
1. But can i install Windows Mobile 6.5 and then install Android (preferably froyo 2.2), so that at the end i have both of those sistems?
2. And if something goes wrong, or i simply dont like one of those, can i remove one of them?
3. Or can i even remove both of them and go back to my wm 6.1?

Hello and welcome to the forum
The answer for all of your question above is :
Yes you can
first you have to realize that only one system can be flashed on your device whether it is Android or Windows Mobile. So, if you want to try both on your kaiser you could flash WM 6.5 to your ROM and install run android on your SD card by using Haret.
and if you want to revert back to WM 6.1, you can always flash your stock WM 6.1 ROM.
Here is some guide that might help you
1. How to flash
[Resources] Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)
2. How to install android on your SD card
how to install with atools and haret
you can download atools and its requirement here :
Atools: all android tool you need
3. Where you can find stock WM 6.1 ROM
- download from official HTC website
- or search here http://shipped-roms.com/shipped/Kaiser/
follow all the steps on each guide carefully and good luck
Than you very much.
hie,
my friend have HTC Kaiser he also want to install android on his kaiser any one tell me that android on kaiser run perfectly means all functions work perfectly or not? & he can install android on kaisers device memory?
