wm5->wm6 please help

I wrote in the "WM6 Rom collection" thread three days ago, but nobody answered yet , so once again i ask my questions.
I'm a newbie, sorry for my questions and my poor english. I've already read the wiki, and read in forums a lot.
Are the wm6 roms (the newers like PDAViet 4.0.0.0.5a and Fantastic Mobiz v2.0b4) both for G3 and G4 models? How do I know if a rom is for G3 or G4 if it is not written on it?? (I don't really want to brick my phone)
I've cid unlocked my G3 device (as it was written in the wiki) Now ipl is 2.09 spl 2.20.0000 and I have the old rom becouse of the cid unlock(14409.1.1.2) and the original qtek extended rom.
2nd queston: Do I have to do something with my extended rom (clear or uppgrade or delete?..) before flashing a wm6 rom, or just do the things what is written in the wm5->wm6 wiki? plz help, couse i couldn't get more information by reading the forums.

Thanx for your quick reply.
Sorry, I don't understand,
I wrote, couse I want to try them, but I don't dare to try them, couse there wasn't written if these are good for both g3 and g4 models. (or where should I read it?)
what do you mean of reading archiv and importent, ang guidelines? Should I read the whole "WM6/Crossbow Prophet Info" thread whit its 750 posts?
Actually I want to uppgrade to this rom:"PDAViet 4.0.0.0.5a Cross" and I read it's thread, But I haven't ever made a rom upgrade, and I don't know what to do with my extended rom, and this g3/g4 thing.
I also tired to use the search.but it didn't find anything.
It would be nice if you could give some links where I can find exactly what I need.

you'll find it in the step 1 folder
extract the ROM you've downloaded there should be 2 steps right? open step 1 folder there are 2 executable files, usually the file names are:
ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe
ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe
you do know your device is a G3 or G4 right? just open the ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe if your device is G3 or ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe if you have G4 device. that's it go to step 2 and you're done. how hard can it be??

im havin d same prob too...so d thing is we need to first download d WM6 ROMS at d archieve then we will know what to do next from d guidelines..izzit ?

its been a while... But how do u put wm6 on an mda

I have a locked tmobile mda... I forget what I need to do b4 I can flash a new rom... I think all I have to do is CID unlock it right? But I forget how. Any help would be great

Yes the fastest one way to figure this out again is to read the stickies labeled unlocking and UPGRADING. That is usually pretty helpful.

help wanted

Which is your device, a G3 or G4,how come we can tell,untill and unless you do not post the vital data of your phone,no one can suggest you any help without knowing the version of your phone.always post the data.
Well 'trustworthy post on how to upload WM6 on my MDA?',why ?,do you think what all is posted here in this Forum is not Trustworthy.
Very rightly said by moseslin 'Read The Stickies',you'll find all the answers here, just "Help Yourself"

which DOC chip version you got,a G3 or G4 ? to verify post your IPL/SPL...? or download the WST Tool,install and run it and post the report to determine if it's a G3 or G4 device.You can download the WST tool here :-

If it's a G3,it's required to first CID unlock the device and than upgrade to wm6.

Flashing an AT&T tilt with an Official HTC Rom

Hello,
I have recently bought a AT&T Tilt, and would like to flash to the current Offcial HTC WM 6.1 ROM.
I have done alot of reading in the wiki here and various FAQ threads and what not. But i am still a bit confused with a few things.
I have read the ROM Flashing faq and Intro here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
And i understand all that.
I also undestand that i need the Key board fix from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911
But thats not hard.
I went here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
I checked my device and the rom currently on it is the AT&T WM6.0 1.57.502.2 Original Shiped Rom.
I figured, being in Australia, i would need rom that had WWE as the country? So i downloaded the "RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship" rom. Is this an appropriete ROM for what i want?
BUT Its all this stuff about SPL's and what not that is confusing me.
My Tilt is SIM unlocked because i am using it on the Telstra network here in Australia. But im not sure if i have to change SPL's or not and if so, which spl i need and how to change it?
It would be greatly appreciated if someone was able to help me understand this SPL bussiness, because i really dont want to dive straight in a risk my device. I have done a fair bit of reading and i'm a fairly competent computer user so it won't take me long to learn.
Thanks in advance,
eMiller

you have to CID unlock it. this involves flashing the device with HardSPL then running a unlocker program. (this is what i know from Hermes, so i don't know if it is exactly the same on Tilt). It breaks the warranty though, so think first, then jump
by the way, you should try a cooked rom. in my experience, HTC roms are not that good, except for getting a stable radio. get the radio, then get a new OS rom, like hang.tuah or something.

Try this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334679
Look for the Zip file at the very bottom of the screen this hard spl will let you flash any rom (follow the instructions the spl gives you exactly and dont get nervous if it appears stiuck for a bit), just make sure you know which ROM you really want to flash at the end
.

Again same stuff.
Guys, when you gonna learn to read everything which is realted to your device when you want to do something?
Everything is in Wiki, everything you need is posted in ROM threads.
Come on GUYS!

read the f**** wiki. you need hardspl. its not that hard to figure out if your not an imbisel

@joel2009: That is a little harsh. Also, if you're going to call someone an imbecile, you should probably spell it right.
@eMiller12 (fellow noob): I don't know if I would bother with the HTC ROM, I just flashed it and I am finding a few really annoying bugs... Read Jocky's STICKY post about the HardSPLs to learn how to flash one. It really is quite simple--and it's unlikely that you're going to brick your device, so no worries.

Hey FireMedic, thanks for understanding.
I have read through the Wiki a fair bit, i was just unsure which versions of hardSPL etc where best for the [email protected] Tilt inparicular. But i will just use this one that vorostatz recomended if that is the best one for the tilt.

We are not all senior members. I can fully understand the guys wish not to turn his expensive device into a paperweight. Ease up eh?

search forums using google (at top right)
yeah, exactly... I was pretty scared to hardspl when I first started.
Hardspl 3.29 seems to be the best one, check my signature after you've read the hardspl sticky.
From what I understand, a rom flash might try to write a different spl which is obviously bad. hardspl prevents this.
If you ever need to, you can undo it. Kyphur explains in the hardspl sticky how to change them, by running a program named jumpspl 1.56 (on your device) with your sim and sd cards out and then flashing the spl normally.
Just make sure you follow directions for your device and try different roms.
Good luck and feel free to ask questions, even if some of the people here have heard them way too often.

Actually the WWE (World Wide English) one seems to be used more in Europe and this side of the world. For down-under, they use SEA South East Asia versions. There are issues with ROM compatibility in Australia specifically (at least in the WM 6.0 days) so if you want to know the best official WM 6.0 and 6.1 ROMs, short of searching for what setups Australian xda-dev forum members are using, you could look at the devices on sale in the shops. If you're wanting WM 6.1 just to have the latest and greatest, think again and have a look at the Windows Mobile 6 vs. Windows Mobile 6.1 thread.
***Edit*** Also note that there are two Australian specific ROMs in the WM 6.0 section of the Kaiser HTC ROM wiki

Flashing help...

I've been reading through the forums a bit, and I have flashed a few roms already...(obviously im a noob)...I keep seeing people who say they have SPL: 3.29Hard2. I read through mskip's noob thread for flashing and I used the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe as guided in the thread...
What is the difference between the two?

Jump SPL helps you to install HardSPL. HardSPL is what you need to flash ROMs other than stock ROMs.

I went into the bootload to check my SPL and when I did, it says SPL-1.0.OliPof
Should I update/upgrade it? Does it make any difference?

Short answer is that generally speaking 3.29 or above works best w/ WM 6.1 and 3.34 or above works best w/ 6.5 ... but as always YMMV.
Hard-SPL for Kaiser is tough thing to unravel, so here's a splendid resource --> Kaiser Hard-SPL Rollup Thread
BTW, there's two versions of 3.29 and 3.56 -- .Hard by jockyw2001 and .Hard2 by cmonex, and to this day I'm not entirely sure why...

The answer is in that thread (also see cmonex's old sticky)
Question Answered. Please use the mskip - Flashing for n00bs thread for these questions in the future instead of creating a new one.

Rom Issues...

PREVIOUS COMMENTS:
Default Kaiser Rom???
Just got a Kaiser for ATT USA, i have it updated to the WM6.1 from ATT. But I'd really like to use on the cooked ROMs from this site. I've used a lot when I had a T-Mobile Wing.
Here is info on my phone
Rom Ver: 3.57.502.2 WWE
Radio: 1.65.21.18
What ROMs can I use?
NOTE: I'm still using T-Mobile and would like something that will work with the MMS and email...
NEW COMMENTS:
Maybe I should have worded that differently...
What I mean is that I am a new Kaiser owner, I do NOT know how to update the ROM, I took the suggestion at the end of my first post which was to read the Sticky's. I did that I followed different directions. HOWEVER, i can not get the hardSPL to update or install. So that is now my question. If that won't update, I won't be able to update my ROM???

Please do not make new threads when threads exist.
[Resources] Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom (For Noobs)
Follow guide any ?'s ask in the thread.
Closed.

You should put this post in the Kaiser General Question, cos more people will help you out then, i havent had my HTC TyTN II long and i followed the instructions from the stickies and everything worked, i installed hardspl without no problems whatsoever, so i dnt know whats going wrong with yours, normally when the phone starts up it should tell you which hardspl you have in red writing along with Radio version and Rom info, if you tried to install hardspl 3.29 and it worked then it will say that when the phone begins.
