Hey all
I've noticed a LOT of the newer devices have the AKU 3 update installed and on these forums theres a few devices which have had aku3 updates cooked for them!
im wondering if theres any interest in developing one for the tornado range of devices, theres a lot of people who use this device and i reckon it would be quite good!
I'm up for cooking a rom, but i dont know where to start learning, i have virtually nil programming knowledge, only HTML!
so post back if you would be interested in cooking a rom and if you CAN cook a rom!
Hey
OK, i've got a load of free time now, so ANYONE who is willing to help develope a new ROM for the Tornado, post here and collect our knowledge!
i'm going to be reading up on most of the theory today so i can figure out whats what.

Where do you get AKU3 rom ? link ?
salaam
I was considering extracting the AKU3 update from a different smartphone, like say the I-mate SPL (the RAZR-esque one) and then would it not just be a straightforward, swap out of drivers, like swap display, keyboard, joystick, hardware buttons over in place of the ones that come originally with the i-mate spl rom?
if people have managed it by adapting a benq rom for the himalaya (im assuming they just replaced the drivers for ones compatible with the Himalaya)
could anybody elaborate on this?
thanx
i know almost the whole process of dumping the rom, modifying it.. but i cant compile the final product. has anybody managed to compile the "dump" folder?
Hi, i sure hope the great genious arond here can figure this out.

Hi
(First post, done lots of reading though!)
I have an iMate JAM and really want an update for WM5.0.
Don't think there's any chance of an official one (B*****DS!!), but I'm sure you clever XDA ROM fanatic types can come up with a way to make one.
Is there a way to merge the drivers from the latest Magician ROM with the WM2005 Himalaya leaked OS? Surely the hardware can't be THAT different that big changes need to be made.
Taking it a step further, maybe updated files from the new PPC non-phone edition ROM updates could be incorporated to make it more stable.
I've been hunting through google and a few foreign pages seem to mention there being a leaked magician beta rom in the early days, can anyone confirm this?
I'll let someone who knows their stuff disprove me now!
If anyone HAS managed to get anywhere with cooking a ROM for WM5.0, let us know here
Cheers,
Joe
Why does no one reply to these types of posts?
If you look on the Himalayas forum, the people there managed to get WM2005 on their XDA II...how come we can't get it on our Magicians?
maybe the wand doesnt work
i want WM 5.0. IS IT REALLY IMPOSSIBLE, OR MIGHT COME SOON
I saw some forum said that WM5.0 doesn't work on iMate-JAM (O2 mini Dopod 818), they said there are many function is abnormal, eg. the carmera, GPRS, etc.
May we need time waiting xda-developers can release a suitable WM5.0ROm for iMate JAM (O2 mini , Dopod) fans to upgrade.
As i knows it posible but now no one can do i think becouse WM50 it spcial
for HIMALAYA "HARDWARE"
now only waiting original WM5.0 form microsoft
Yeah, the fact that we Himalaya users are now using WM5.0 is thanks to somebody that stumbled with a XDA2 with WM5.0 preloaded and was kind enough to share it with us...
Of course there where some tweaking and modifications involved, but the thing is that there was an XDA2 with WM5.0 already installed.
Nothing there yet ?
NO!

The original WM5.0 from Microsoft is available for download..
http://www.microsoft.com <--- Here!
Good luck in writing your own drivers to ALL of the hardware in your device!
I sure hope you have detailed information on memory adresses and such..
No, seriously..
We won't see a Magician WM2K5 ROM before it's been leaked or official..
There is just too many hardware things that we do not know!
I would love to be proven wrong, but I don't think that will happen!
And if you searched the forums, YOU WOULD KNOW THIS!!!

WTF ? I asked if somebody had more news yet, it could be that a rom was leaked out.
I didn't ask for you to make one, i was just wondering if nobody hasn't found a rom with WM05 :shock:

Hey folks, I've been looking around the board, (and net) for the stock tmobile shadow theme (link below) for the wizard (wm5 or 6) without much success....
Does it exist? Is it in the works?
Thanks alot for your help!
http://content.zdnet.com/2347-12553_22-173702-173732.html?seq=30
Maybe...
I'm not too sure that this would work for multiple reasons. One, I read somewhere that MS made this as proprietary for the T-Mo Shadow. Also, it's smartphone software and this is a ppc.
The biggest problem is that since it's a new product, no one knows how to dump the rom. I posted a thread under smartphone general to see if anyone would try with pdocread. I was hoping to port the Neo interface over to my aging mpx200.
At the same time, I'm excited to try this. If someone posts the dump, I assure you that it will be ported over to the wizard by our wonderful cooks. (me not included!). Of course, i'll be willing to try.
expiditous relply
damn that was fast. lol thanks ND4SPD
I know our lovely chefs will cook something up soon... it's just a matter of time... <rubs hands together with a sinister grin>... it's just a matter of time.
thanks theloon for giving the dump. i'll start messing with it for both my mpx200 and the wizard
just a matter of time...
Hi, I am new here and to windows mobile. I just purchased a HTC Tornado and I am looking for a thread that tells me how to upgrade it from WM5 to WM6. The problem is, when I search for HTC Tornado all the threads show a different Tornado phone then what I have. I have the HTC Tornado from Tmobile. Would I upgrade it the same way you upgrade the Tornado I keep seeing in this section?? Do I have a older model or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I attached a picture of the Torando that I have.
Thanks
You have a regular Tornado, simply the music edition. It's identical to mine and you can use without problem any of the WM6 that are available here
The insides are the same as the tornado, T-Mobile just puts their case on it. Many companies do the same.
I have the exact same version. Also called SP5m for the music edition. Be *very* careful to burn only those ROMS made for the Tornado. HTC Faraday for example looks very similar and many people have "bricked" their phone (made it totally useless) by installing that ROM.
Good luck.
Thanks for the help guys.. Anyone know where I can view a help section for newbs? I take it ROMS are programs?? And when you say my Tornado is the music edition, the other tornado can't play music? Can I update from WM5 right to WM6?
Thanks
It is the same HTC Tornado as any other. It has the exact same specs and features. The only differenece is the case. You can use any ROM for HTC Tornado.
other tornado don't have special buttons(play, next, previous), but they play music just the same as your SP5m does. ROMs are programs to upgrade your OS(operating system), it's like changing the PC OS from XP to Vista having a special software to help you do that more easily, there is no forum/section for newbs, as an advice, read all FAQs and other instructions here in Tornado section, and when you think you are ready - upgrade you WM5 to WM6, but if you aren't sure in smth better ask here before you make a step in nowhere..
good luck
Is there any big advantages to upgrade WM5 to WM6? Hard to do for a newb?
WM6 is lot better than WM5. I like it lot more. And it is not hard to upgrade to WM6. Basically you just need to superCID your phone, format BINFS and run the ROM Update Utility. Read this for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324557
Thanks for the help. My phone should be here anyday now. Can't wait to mess around with it Is there anywhere anyone knows of where I can get newbie info on all the terms such as SuperCID, BINFS etc..
try the wiki. Look at the links at the top of the forums.

I have read that Samsung want to sell Wm6.1 only in the new BlackJack2 and newer models.
I hope that upgrade at wm6 in Samsung website become in this days upgrade at WM6.1

So maybe someone could cook WM 6.1 ROM for us? It's possible for older devices, so why not for i600?

http://www.txcaesar.net/mobile/index.php
they already made it. i installed today but the wifi disappear..so i downgraded back to wm 6.0
Yeah, this ROM is for BlackJack. BlackJack have no WiFi.
hope they manage to make one for the i600, would be great.
Btw, is there a how-to to flash it to 6.1? I could actually miss the wifi part. And how to flash back?
Thanks
wessel: i emailed samsung but they couldnt tell anything, as expected..
Err, the Korean version of the Blackjack has WiFi. Consider it the Blackjack 1.5. Someone released a cooked WM6.1 for it today, adding Korean support, but unfortunately no support for WiFi (and I still can't ever get text messages to work with cooked roms, if only I better knew Korean).

Hi,
Thanks for this info. Please, follow it, as the guys there might eventually find a way to fix wifi for our i600s.

This is NOT for the i600
Read the thread below and you will see it is for the i607
This will never work properly on your Blackjack i600

Hello, I'm the author of the ROM's over at txcaesar. Is there a serious tester here that is willing to put their i600 to some flashing experimentation?
I do not have the device, but I have enough knowledge to port the ROM from i607 (which is itself ported from another device) - however I will need a handful of people to do some intense private testing before releasing it 'to the wild' - if you are interested, please register an account over at txcaesar and make a post in the "Contribute to the ROM" section that you are willing to help test. Once we get a handful of testers, I will cook it up

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if I can use the 6.1 ROMs on my Kaiser or am I limited to 6.0 ROMs?
I tried to download the Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade from HTC but when I enter my Serial No. it says its unsuitable for my phone.
I bought it on ebay and its full of rubbish and seems heavily tampered and has lots of querky things going on - so I thought I would just flash it with one of your ROMs. I don't want to 'brick' it if 6.1 is incompatible. I have spent days reading the (astoundingly detailed) FAQ's but, maybe 'cos I'm dumb and don't understand the difference between ROM and OS, I'm worried I will trash the phone if HTC say its incompatible.
I'm rambling now because what I don't really know is whether A ROM includes OS or sits on top of OS.
Regards,
JN
You can, of course, use 6.1 roms on your kaiser. I suggest you just go to the kaiser section, read a bit, and find yourself a nice ROM.. the kaiser section is flooded with ROMs.. and good ones
Thanks for replying. I found several posts today from people who have trouble with screen touch alignment and wondered if there was a hardware incompatibility with some Kaiser's and WM 6.1. Also, I found the answer to my question about ROMs and OS in Q1 of the Kaiser ROM Flashing FAQ which I had already read but obviously not taken in.
I shall give one a try then.
Many thanks,
I'd suggest giving a few.. until you get it right
LOL
Ok then. What are the chances of totalling the phone? Mind You, I've got to the point where if I junk it I won't care too much. So I shall just have some fun.
Thanks for the reassurance and advice.
You should be able to hard reset if everything fails...which should save you in the worst case situation... I beleive though from reading up on it if you unlock your phone with HARDSPL it is supposed to stop you from being able to brick your phone
First of all, try try a few roms without spling more than once, find the hardspl guide for kaiser in the kaiser forum and hardspl it so you can flash as many roms as you like.
afterwards, just start flashing roms. bricking a device isn't that common if you do things properly. make sure all roms you flash are meant for kaiser..
Thanks again for the help and advice, which I have followed - I've applied HARDSPL as recommended. I've only had a chance to apply one ROM so far (AtheneOS WWE) which looks fantastic IMHO but I have what seems like a radio problem as I have no sound. So I shall have a go now at different radios I suppose? That's what most of the replies to posts seem to suggest for lack of sound after flashing. Its easier than I thought this lark - I can see this may be habit forming though
Great stuff you guys .
JN
Another Happy (rom) Flasher!
lol. go ahead and enjoy flashing.
