i have my HTC 8125 mobile with WM5 OS.
i didnt unlock my CID yet but I will unlock it later right after if someone answers my important question that always twinkling in my mind.
Upgrading roms for WM5 to WM6 is just like installing a application? ( sorry coz this is my first time to do this.)
currently downloading Xplore1.1 and farias rom. is it alrady overclocked when i installed one of those? do i need to overclock my mobile?
thanks alot!
I would stick with Xlpore's Rom, since you didn't mention that you had a 4g or 3g, since it will work great on both. Just extract those files and run it, simple as that. If i were you i would read up a little on the whole process. nothing like having a $200 brick cause you didn't know what you were doin

Dude, you have a LOT of reading to do before I'd suggest you even start to do this (based on that question alone). No, its not like installing an application. You are installing an entire new OS (Installing, not Upgrading). So when you do this, its going to wipe out everything on your phone (not your SD card, but on your phone's internal memory).
I'd highly advise you to read and understand whats in the Wiki for the wizard. Then read and understand the stickies at the top of this forum and the ones at the top of the Wizard Upgrading forum.
For the sake of your phone, make sure you understand this stuff. Don't just run an executable because it sounds cool. I'm not trying to scare you off or anything, I just want you to understand what you are looking at doing and understand that flashing custom roms isn't the fix to everything.
Understand also that these custom roms are (for the most part) test things. There are bugs, there are quirks, and there are things that flat don't work. Sure, for the most part they give you more power, and a better functioning phone, but for some of the roms that requires tweaking to get it to that point, so you need to understand what is involved (people here will assist, but we won't spoon feed).
Here's an excellent post with TONS of pointers to information (yeah its buried in the XPLore thread. We need to pull this out into the Wiki or make a sticky with this):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1206964&postcount=894
Read and learn before you start flashing. You will save yourself a lot of grief, and may even save the life of your phone.

You definately need to read the Wiki before you do anything. It gives you step by step instruction and will most definately make flashing your device easier. If you have any questions, please don't hesitate to PM me. Good luck.

Ummm... you're in the very forum that it's located in. Here's some helpful guidance:
1. Go here to find out if you have a G3 or G4 model. (It's very important to find out)
2. Unlock your phone. Go here for G3 models or here for G4 models.
3. Pick whatever WM6 version tickles your fancy, located here. (Don't start some thread asking which one is best either, people will kick you in the butt for asking.)
4. Look at the wiki. It has links and instructions to everything I've already listed.
Word of advice. Don't ask silly questions that have been answered, literally hundreds of times. You could have found out everything I've already outlined in about 20 minutes of looking. Most people here are glad to help, but you have to help yourself first and show that you've made some kind of effort to find out the answers to your own questions. You've clearly not done that at all here.
Also, read everything very carefully two or three times before attempting anything first.
Have fun!
i have a HTC8125 and i want Wm6 on it i was wondering if some can guide me in the direction of getting it......
Read the stickies, read the wiki, and use the search function.
Here is a good place to start
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
and then read about each different ROM and Kitchen, and before you even think about flashing read, read, read, and then read some more. Or you can just pick a rom, and turn that beautiful new phone into a shiny little brick that you can use to stop your bedroom door from closing....
If you were expecting it to be easy... Sorry!
No one will spoon feed you here.... no one wants to be responsible for you bricking your phone...
ok....does anyone is there going to be a officail released for this phone, cuz i'll wait
no there will not be an official release for the 8125 i dont think...at least thats what they told me when i talked with them a couple months back, thats why i went hermes...

There will not be an official rom from any providers for the Wizard device.
If you take the time to read the sticky that badbert pointed you to, it has all the steps on how to do this. Its not rocket science, and as long as you follow all the directions you will be on your way to upgrading to WM6. But the point that was being made is, you need to read and understand what you are doing, or you have the potential to brick your phone.
Frazzz, u posting from ur phone again? lol
so should i flash my device now?
not until u follow all the directions every single step and not until u fully understan what u r doing... u will ruin ur phone if u dont read read read and understand
Yep, right now. Don't wait. Go grab a ROM and flash away. Make sure you don't read how to do it, either. I mean, why take advantage of all of the knowledge on this forum?
i have a feeling in about 20 minutes he will b asking how to fix his phone
no im really not i just got the phone it so im gonna take a chance since im new to this, about a day so i'll read on...
its really very easy to do when u follow the guide's and instructions in those threads.
what thread i was shown to one and its to flash i have no idea what rom to use that what i really wanted because that i wont go crazy looking for the right type, it a G3 HTC8125
Look, you need to read the entire how to flash sticky, then spend a few days reading the posts on this board. We're not going to tell you "Hey, use this one!"
alright i see i have one last questiob as i was reading the how to flash thred i found the last step confusing i'll quote
G3.8 You're reade to flash the AKU2, AKU3, WM6 rom of you're choise! It wasn't that hard, was it? If you still got an older OS version after flashing then you're not CID-unlocked! Go back to start!
Click to expand...

its says i have a choice of AKU2, AKU3 and WM6 whats that mean that after i flash i will have WM6
u have to flash a rom that is WM6 to have WM6

AKU's are like Service Packs for Windows XP. If you want WM6, then you will flash one of the many WM6 roms. Just read the first post of each rom thread to see what the roms have in them to try to decide what you think will be what works for you. Then when you choose one, start reading the rest of the thread to see what issues / problems that rom might have. Some rom cooks may even try to update the first few posts with fixes / patches / cabs for you to use to fix the rom (or make the rom work better).
But take your time. There is no rush on upgrading. Don't ruin your new phone...
so as you flash you putting Wm6 on your phone? sorry im really consufed
or how do you know if its a Wm6 Rom?
because i dont think anyone here is cooking windows mobile 5 roms for a Wizard... flash a term used when you are installing a ROM image to your phone. trust me, if you read enough you will know which roms are WM6... if you dont know then chances are you didnt read enough. i swear we have answered this question for you already
since u say your phone is a G3 read THIS thread!
hello is there anyone that is willing to take the time to help me out with adding new and faster programs to my tilt and would like some of that fancy programs that are out like the cube and some splash screeners and free navigation.if there is a persone willing to work with me via....im..im willing to donate to there cause.please reply back im new and i love reading all the stuff there is out there but im not the brightest on doing this and would hate to brick or blow up my phone...lol.....please reply back threw pm...if you could thanks.....
There are tons of people that are willing to help you, but you really can learn the most through reading and posting more specific questions you have. There are step by step instructions to flashing new ROMs and installing programs in stickied posts, and there are tons of ROM options available.
Taken from the wiki (which should be your FIRST stop when beginning to flash) Use the forum for specifics or questions.

I would like to personally thank "ajmoncrief" for taking the time to treat this new comer with respect and to make an effort to teach him. I see a lot of people get flamed for asking simple questions, and in some respect some of them need to be flamed because they don't read or ask the same question that was asked in a post just up the page. But this guy is reached out to ask and you took the time to teach , you are a credit to this forum. and I thank you.
Ed...
thank you

tank you for taking the time to direct me in the wright direction im hoping i could try this without messing up my phone so i will read and waatch the information and will try. i wqs hoping to have a contact with a persone that could have walked with me threw this but i guess i will try..thank so much for all the help.noel...
I second that Ed!
If you are still uncertain after reading up & studying, then feel free to contact me via PM @ ([email protected]). Donations are nice, but not required.
And thanks to you edbutler; no sweat...we were all noobs at one time. If you are still unclear after reading then yeah I'm sure you will find plenty of help in the forums, just remember to search for it first. My .02 is that sleuth's rom is is a pretty good start.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=366284
One other piece of information that may or may not be in the wiki is if you have a choice of flashing between a laptop and a desktop as your pc...I would highly recommend a charged laptop since you will protect yourself from power outages (especially in the critical step of flashing HardSPL). Other than that, its pretty simple and relatively enjoyable to customize your device to your own liking.
Hi guys,
So I downloaded 2 Roms of 6.1 found in this forum (the one from Dr Martin and the one from fireburned)
Now before flashing I have a question about the USPL.
I bought my phone factory unlocked. Do I still need to run that procedure before changing the rom?
Secondly, how do I backup my current ROM? (in case of it going bad)?
Thanks
mystical thing called search function
my recommendation, YES! but if you had used the search, you would had found out the answer yourself.... well, we all where new to this too, but a little bit of interest on the matter is really helpfull if you want to learn about it. asking "already-hunderts-of-time-anwsered" questions is just too lazy.
sorry, if i'm a little rude at you, but in the last time such question where asked just too much... folks, this is a forum, not a hotline!!
for your second question, do a search, and you'll found out why you don't need to backup the rom. if you still want to backup after this, if think, you'll find the answer on how to do it in the wiki...
If there is a SHIP ROM for your carrier, no real reason to backup since you can revert to this.
You will most likely need to use uSPL to temporarily SuperCID your device to allow it to flash any ROM as they are CID-locked. Unlocked simply means it does not have a network/SP lock on it.

I understand, but if it's something that comes up often, maybe the mods should make a static post about it? Thats usually to avoid ppl asking the same questions all the time..
Thanks for your input though
good point about the sticky. or we could add it to the wiki, i'll see what i can do in the next few days, but anyone is invited to contribute too (now i'm gettin' lazy, hihi)

Same situation here and I had to run the USPL proc to get the new ROM onto my device.
Thanks for all the input
I actually followed Dr Matin Gonzo's guide to update to his rom and it worked perfectly,
I even got to backup my old rom (using the wiki + the SDA Unlock tool)

I don't mind helping you, let me know what you need!
]first of i wanna thank all thoes who post here to assist niggas like me who far behind when it come to tecnology.i reviewed many forms and still dont understand how to do this. i had a behold and broke it puttin software on there so i dont wanna do it to my wing.i always considered myself an intelligent individual but when i started learning about this i felt dumb as homer(the simpsons).i need help. i will donate to whoever can put this in slow terms and help me step by step.i would like to install touch and 6.1 in not 6.5..i still dont know what im talkin about but ive seen the youtube videos an been fasinated with gettin them ever since.please assist me i will greatly appreaicate it u will .i just got my wing monday so i dont know if its even capiable of this upgrade but let me know..
A few notes:
1. This particular sub forum is for developing ROMs. There are two other subforums dedicated to "how-to's."
2. The videos in youtube are old, so you're probably looking at an older ROM, one of Ttra's OpenTouch ROMs, probably.
3. You need to research, learn and understand what SPL and IPL are. Then learn what HardSPL is. Then learn how to flash the Herald HardSPL into your phone assuming that your phone meets the requirements.
4. Follow my walkthrough that I made a long time ago to flash.
thanks
thanks but i still need help.how do i know which rom is the most updated one since u say the roms on youtube are old..do u offer a toturial or a step by step guide.if so canu direct me to the right one cause ive been seeing so many different roms i dont know where to start

I've wrote a few guides. Do a search for "how to" and ivanmmj or "how to flash herald"
As far as the newest ROM, there are currently very few updated ROMs. JustStable (by me) is build 5.2.21042 and there is also a ROM based on 5.2.21040 right below this thread.
