Hi folks,
I was interested in upgrading to WM5.0 from WM2003 on my SPV M2000 (=XDA 2). However since I've come here i've got the impression that it could be riddled with problems. I'm a total n00b and I've been overwhelmed with different ROM versions and fixes....I wondered if you folks could help me a bit.
Is it worthwhile to upgrade? What has your experience been?
Will old WM2003 programs work on WM5.0 (I have loads of them)
Are there any bugs I should know about or will everything run smooth?
What are the disadvantages?
How do I go about upgrading? I upgraded my ROM once before using an update released by Orange. But the .exe file did it all for me. All I had to do was connect the device via the cradle and click next (pretty much).
Cheers folks! Much appreciated.
PS - is this the correct forum? (I'm guessing SPVM2000 is a hymalaya)
PPS - sorry if some of these questions have come up before. I'm sure a few of them must - I checked as best I could but I'm a total n00b and I'm dyslexic which doesn't make post plodding easy.
Thanks again!

HI Guys
would anyone happen to know when the new I-Mate Universals will be released or indeed if they have and where we can get them?
I'm really interested in replacing my flaky, underpowered TyTN with a new phone.
Thanks in advance!
HI Guys

Thanks in advance!
Anyone knows who is the manufacturer of the I-Mate Ultimate sereis since it is no longer HTC that supplies to I-mate.
A second question if the notebook like Ultimate has an external screen for caller ID when closed.
Thanks
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.
