WM6.0 upgrade for the most inexperienced WM5.0 HTC prophet user.

Hi Friends,
I'm a very very fool and inexperienced QTEK S200 user.
I have never tried ROM update upto now.
Can any one guide me to update my QTEK S200 from WM5.0 to WM6.0 step by step.
Assume that I just know how to read and push the buttons.
Let me introduce my QTEK S200 to you.
ROM version: 2.20.7.21.WWE
ROM date: 7/10/06
Radio Version:02.40.21
Protocol Version: 4.1.13.20
ExtROM Version:2.20.7.101
IPL:2.20.0001
SPL:2.20.0001
I haven't done any modifications on locks and etc.
I don't know if it is cid locked or not.
I know that it is not gsm locked.
Thank you for you patience and time wasted for me and the guys like me.
You can send "step-by-step" guide to my e-mail if you want.

wow I didn't know there was a 2.20 prophet ipl around^^
if you take the smart crossbow rom:
1. hardreset (camera and recorder button und reset)
2. when you are back in align screen, (the screen were you have to klick on crosses on the display ) you leave it there and connect it to the computer
3. in the upcoming active sync window you press cancel to stay in guestmode
4. extract all the files from the exe you downloaded it into a folder
5. run upgraderom.bat or similar

I was going to say "hey mine is "
but then i checked and it isn't

Could you please locate the .exe to be downloaded.
And places to download upgraderom.bat or similar applications.
Be sure I know NOTHING about upgrading.
Please behave like,
you are on the phone with a 12 yearsold child.
And you are trying to teach that child to safely land on a airbus.

I wouldn't try to teach this child to land an airbus.. especially if that child doesn't want to listen and learn.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_Upgrades

The link was great.
thank you.
Aaand it is time to chose a WM6.0 ROM ..
Any suggestions for the first trial.
Links for ROMs and related pathces (if required for charging or phone calls)

And than it is getting confusing again.
The first link sent was very clear and easy to apply.
But the suggested link is 11 pages long threath with again so much problems etc.
What I try to do is to figure out comleted, step by step installation guide.
For example:
1-download xxxx.zip from www.xxxx.com
2-download yyyy.exe from www.yyyy.com
3-download zzz.cab , ttt.cab and kkk.cab
3-extract xxxx.zip to C:/xxxx you will have aaa.cab,bbb.dat and ccc.tmp
4-run yyyy.exe go file->open, select bbb.dat and open it.
5-.......
.....
....
Is there any body that can provide this information for newbies.

Use the first page to get the rom . use the second link to fix the problems you have. I'm not sure why you have to run wm6 as a newbie? I think you better off stay on wm5 aku 3.x or 2.x its less bleeding edge, hence less bugs to worry about. I admit, once you start upgrade roms, you became hooked, you start try all kinds of roms, and at that point you wont be a newbie anymore. In case you will ask me where are the wm5 roms:

thanks this would be the best way I think.

I would write you a guide from heart, no problem. But the point is that every ROM has it's own installation-procedure!
Some use the upgrade.bat, while others use the RUU (ROMUpdateUltility.exe).
Some need to be installed from bootloader, other one's need to be installed from within the OS itself.
That's why everybody who wants to flash ROM's on his device should know the basics of flashing.
And all the basics can be found in the wiki, mentioned here before.
After learning the basics, choose a ROM you want to use.
Then you should start reading every topic related to this ROM from 1st to last post, like we all did when
we wanted to flash our first ROM!!
When you've read everything, you'll know exactly what to expect and what to do..

I decided to do so.
Even I have read related threads and deciden to open this thread to prepare a installation guide think it wont work because of the reasons that you mentioned.
I'll follow smart1's ROM page and after I belive in there is no fatal error on the rom I'll flash it to my prophet.
The only information that I neeed will be should I cid unlock my device or not.
I think I'll be able to find this info also.
After all I'll prepare some guides for newbies for the ROMs that I used.
and add as new threads here and in my language for our forums.

You don't have to CID-unlock your device to flash (Prophet-)ROM's. Not the one's released here on xda-developers anyway.
grtz

Should not be a problem by now posting the same post three times!
Hundreds of people have managed to flash their device. Experienced as well as newbies. It's a little anoying to look at the latest posts and fined some multiple times. Yours is not more important then any other one!
If you realy want to do something with your device that's far from standard you also have to be willing to feed yourself with tons of info. Sure everybody would like a DIY document in their mailbox. But who will be held resonsable when you do something you don't even have a clue off?
Further if you think the WiKi is not clear enough to real newbies, then contribute to this forum and place your info in the WiKi so you can help others, like we all try to do here

Well, then you are not the notsohappy owner of a brick
Get it into bootloader and flash your carrier's official rom
Also, see that in WM6 you must use only ActiveSync 4.5 or higher
Ask if you need help, I will be here for couple of hours and there are others who know way more than me and also can help

ill try it sir!
currently downloading .exe from htc site. dude is that an installer? do i need to flash it using other programs or not? thanks!
oh btw! i just used activesync 4.2 i am also want to upgrade my cingular 8125 to wm6 xplore1.1.. just like yours.. what steps i shall do? can u help me?

Read the wiki on how to unbrick your phone
NOTE: And don't double post

sorry sir, i just dont know what to do

anyone please help me

Get the rgb boot loader screen on by holding down camera while you reset. Then connect via usb to the pc. You will see the word " usb " appear on the bottom of the screen on your phone.
Run the exe you downloaded from your manufacturer / carriers website and it will install the stock rom.
Phone will reboot when finished.
Hey presto.
Dont panic son

Please Help... My Screen Showing only showing 3 Colors

Hi,
I was trying to install the Dutty's WM 6.1 OS on my Boss's Tilt, didnt worked with the kaiser-HardSPLv1, and looked around for solution and found that i can copy "JumpSPL1.56-KAIS" and run it on the Tilt and than can install the OS, but somehow, its giving this 3 Color Screen and Serial and when i connect to USB, it shows USB instead of Serial, than when i try to install Dutty's OS, it comes up with Recovery option and doesnt finish successfully, it stays on 0% and than again goes back to Recovery option.
Please help me, will be enough if i can go back to where i was before installing anything or any way to Hard Reset and get back to the previous state before running JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.
Please reply ASAP.
Thank you,
Dhaval.

Oh For Goodness Sake........you Are Not Supposed To Use Jumpspl To Flash A Rom!!

Hi Southrnlake,
Thank you for your response.
I looked at a similar thread and after the white screen, i put the jumpspl on Tilt and ran it and thats how it got stuck on the 4 color screen.
My Screen Shows
KAIS1*0
SPL-1.93.0000
CPLD-8
on the right top corner the tri-color screen displays RUUNBH
and in the bottom White Screen(4th) it shows USB if its connected to USB o/w it shows Serial.
I can no longer connect to the PC using ActiveSync.
Please guide me to fix this problem.
Thanx in Advance.
Dhaval.

most of us know how to answer and it has been answered many times... why don't u get off ur lazy ass and do some work by searching and reading around.
and to op rule 1: never install anything for anyone.
and secondly u have bad sector blocks which can be cleared using mtty ..again search and read.

THE SOLUTION FOR THE 10,000 TIME DEPENDS ON YOUR SPL VERSION.
FOR YOUR 1.93 SPL IT IS AS FOLLOWS:
USING MTTY ISSUE THE FOLLOWING COMMANDS:
cmd>set 16 0
cmd>task 8
FOR INFO ON USING MTTY, SEARCH & READ.

Thanx GSLEON3...
I am really very much thankful to you for showing that its possible to unbrick my Boss's Tilt.
I went thru this post and couldnt quite understood clearly as to what exactly i need to do, Please guide me what exactly i need to do as i dont want to play around anymore with my Boss's phone.

for starters wrong thread .. secondly problem could have been completely avoided if you did the basic reading i.e. first hardspl .. if white screen than follow thread on white screen fix .. got hardspl? flash rom ... simple as that.
now u need help .. and instead of posting under the right thread you create a new redundant thread asking about a problem that quite a few people run into. in order for us to help we need info from your phone .. what does bootloader say? can u boot to operating system?

You download the stock kaiser rom (searching is fun!), then you unrar, and click on the phone like button and follow the instructions. Then again, theres a thread on returning your phone to its original config. More searching fun!

Elfin - Flashing the ROM via the microSD card

Hi,
I'm quite new to xda-developers (*collective groaning at the newbie, I'm sure*); what happens to phones here is rather astounding, though, and I'd certainly be willing to make a small donation to anyone that can help .
My problem is as follows: I have an HTC Touch (an Elfin; I can post my device info if necessary), and I'd like to try upgrading the ROM (I've gotten Onyx 5.01 from the forums; it looks excellent). This alone isn't (shouldn't) be a problem for me, but my Touch has, I believe, lost a few pins in it's extUSB port over the years, and will not connect to Mobile Device Centre/ActiveSync through the USB port. I can connect through Bluetooth just fine... but certain expected problems arise from flashing a ROM over Bluetooth . So, what I really need to know, in fairly well explained steps, is: how can I (safely) flash my ROM using the microSD card?
I apologize in advance for any incorrect/misplaced terminology; feel free to correct/rebuke
-Kris

Search the stickeys. There are step by step instructions available

Can you give me a link to an appropriate thread/section of a thread? I've been rooting around all day, and I can't find anything that describes my situation; every guide I've found gets to a certain point and then tells you to "connect your device via USB..." - is there no way around a broken USB connection?

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Elf_SD_Card_Flashing

Soon, I will flashing my Elfin with this method. And I'm asking me if I must let the same name for the rom (ELF0IMG.nbh) or an other name. Can someone tell me if I must change or if it'sd OK with this name ?
Thanks.
PS : Sorry for eventually write error, I'm french.

mmm... thats a problem because to cid unlock u must follow the white screen method. im pretty sure u might be able to get to the white screen by hand but not sure how u will flash it then.
another posibility is flashing the unbricker rom (by sd) and then i guess u can re-flash the spl by sd too.
anyway, im not sure. maybe aman or cmonex can help u with this.

Invalid Certificate too

Does the data in the SD card get deleted after flashin the ROM via SD card..???

no, it doesn't
