[Ask] Rom for dopod 818...

Excuse me.. I'm newbie here...
What do you guys suggested rom for dopod 818? And how to upgrade a rom, and what is the risk to to that?
Thx..

The latest official ROM from Dopod is ver 2.15. You can download this from the official site www.dopodasia.com. You have to register before downloading it, so have your IMEI ready.
You may also opt for an unofficial or cooked ROM. Howver these are not official Dopod818 Pro ROMs. They are Wizard ROMS that are customised or cooked to work on the Prophet. Expect minor problems here and there, depending on the ROM you choose. Installation for these ROMS varies on the customised ROM that you select.
If you look hard enough on the internet you will also find a WM6 ROM running around for Prophet. This is based on a leaked beta WM6 (Crossbow) ROM for the Wizard. It is known to be quite buggy though.

Oooh... thx..
I interested in costumized rom, and where can I download it? Can 'aku' work on dopod 818? Thx again...

Do you have Dopod 818 or 818PRO?

Hi,
it is good practice to google thru wiki & forum pages for basic Q&A, as
it also increases knowledge base.
thanx

There's no point backing up your current ROM because you would not be able to restore it after you put a different ROM. In theory you can, using Sprite backup, but it is NOT recommended.
Backup your contacts, etc by synching with your PC and if you don't like the new ROM just install the official ROM from Dopod again.

if you're just about to buy a new xda exec.. i suggest you be more familiar with your new device first before trying to install customized roms..
that way you will know which rom to choose when the time to upgrade comes....
you will have to try each rom for yourself...
cheers!

i have similar devices and i know what's is going on inside
now i testing WM6 PRO Business V7 and works ok
thx for answer

O2 Mini Xda S WM6??

Hi there, ive looked through all the different forums and am confused! (newbie type confused :S). I have an ) O2 Mini Xda S and it is currently running WM5. If anyone can help, please can i request two ROM file downloads.
1. The original ROM file that is currently on the phone incase i flash and do not like and
2. A WM6 ROM upgrade file and if possible WM6 proffesonal.
I would really like WM6 proffesional but WM6 (the origianl one) would be brilliant. It boots up on G4 (2.xx.000x) and this is what im most confused about, wheter the upgrade is for G3 or G4. please someone help!!! Also ive heard the faria upgrade is good but not sure whether to go down that route or not.
Thanks very much in advance.

1. get the original ROM from your carrier. for instance, you can download the TMO version from their website.
2. read stickies before posting and follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
3. pick any of the many WM6 roms here and flash.
4. since you have a G4, make sure you read the part about G4 flashing in the above thread.

thanks for that, i have had a look on O2's site but they do not have any original ROMs or anything at all for my mini xda. I dont know why because its a popular phone as far as i am aware :S
any other places i can get it from? cheers

good read for a wm6 rom

Hello,
Do yourself a big big favour and read the WIKI HERE. There isn't much you can ask that's not covered here. It tells you how to do most things And welcome to the forum
Jay

Hi
For beginning, download the new Tomal v8.2 ROM and simply run the application. It has its own manual. You have to only synchronize your ppc with your desk computer before running that application.
For other upgrading things use "universal RUU" from the ftp site. There are many readme files for doing that too.
Best radio version is 1.15
Extended ROM must be configurable for yourself so study more before changing that.
Until now I have seen that Tomal's work is the best...

ROM flashing is really easy .... if you are careful
Hey Karan, welcome, just read wiki as it is already been suggested and go to

Need help with WM6.1 and my O2 XDA mini S!

Hi,
I got an O2 XDA mini S with Windows Mobile 5.0 and I want to know whether I can upgarded the OS to Windows Mobile 6.1?
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391927 looks really nice and I need to know whether I can use this Windows Mobile Version for my XDA? or are there any problems with this phone types?
One more question, the author of this thread says the "Touchflo-Edition" is his favorit, can you tell my why? What are the differec between Professional- and Touchflo Edition?
Really thanks for answer
Greetz Tobi

Yes you can upgrade to WM6.1 on your XDA Mini S I just did it for first time last week used below ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2132749&postcount=2
Before you do the ROM I recommend using Windows XP because VISTA doesn't have full support for ROM updates. Also use the below guide first.

Try and do a bit more searching round this forum.
Hope this helps.

Can I flash the OS directly from wm5.0 to wm6.1?

BEfore you do anything, please read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Also go to the Wiki Section and read, read, about you device
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
Unless you want to brick it real quick

I'm reading this tutorials and I'm not sure whether I should take TNT or SNN rom, maybe there are some advantages and disadvantages?
Greetz Tobi

What is the situation of your devoce ?
How is your CID and SIM ? Locked or unlocked ? Which IPL/SPL do you have ?
Please check all this before you flash something ?

Dude I know about this facts
But when my phone is compatible to both roms, which one you would take?
Greetz Tobi

That is a personnal choice only, no one will tell you take this or that

Hm, but there are no recomments for SNN Edition ...

Why don't you try both see which one you prefer, personnally I prefer SNN Edition, it's quick and looks really great and has all functions I need.
Once You have unlocked CID and followed all the steps on the other post you can flash from one ROM to the other. I have tried about three so far.
