Hi at all .I'm a new user of this site ad of course i have a prophet G4 model with wm5 already installed ad all original roms.
As i'm reading many guides here i read al lot of person that has wm6, so i wanted to know if it was really usefull to uprgade my wm from 5 to 6, and what are the main differences between the two version ...
Thanks to everyone who answer me
I must admit I've tested some roms (about 10) of wm6.
The one I like most is prophet IX
but, after a while, I rolled back to WM5 (faster)
my 2 cents
ciao
wm6.1 seems to be fast. my rom history as in my sig. so far no problems. no real advantage really upgrading.
don't fix what's not broken, but if u are curious, just give it a try. that's how i started out & never looked back to wm5. obviously this was after my warranty period.
if i do get a kaiser/tytn II, will probably wait till finish warranty period & get flashing!
i must admit, flashing to new roms is exciting & u kinda feel that u have a new phone...
just my 3 cents....
p/s if u do flash, make sure u know what ur doing! READ THE WIKI & THE UPGRADE GUIDES BEFORE ANYTHING ELSE!!!
how to downgrade?

This Morning I have soft reset my M600 and WM6 lost my password.
So I'm dissapointed I cannot unlock anymore my phone.
I want to change my WM6 rom by another one but there is so many rom and so many bug sometime that I'm not sure to choose the good one.
I have heard that the Smart Rom is greater and this week a new rom release of this on will be done.
I wait your council

I know how to ugrade my rom Thanks.
When you read the different topics about the different ROM's you will notice that not everyone is thinking the same about every ROM. So you really should try them yourself and decide wich you like the most.

Sad part is the most stable wm6 rom is in chinese so far. I know this wouldnt help you, but you should try each rom and see for yourself. Some of them look good in the beginning, then it starts crashing within a week. Give aku 3.3 a try or re-evaluate do you really need wm6 or aku3.3 (they are no official release for prophet) anyway good luck, hope you find what you are looking for.
I'am not a Geek but after use WM6 it's appear that he is more speed and more funnyier to us as WM5. So I prefer a rom with some bug but with more powerfull instead another bugless and more slowly. I Try the WM6 Rom WM6 PDA Mobiz. Yet no big problem
hello everyone!
i have been reading feverishly on all of this, and think i have some solid ideas.
Wanted to come right out and ask.
Anyone have a recommendation for me as far as which WM6 Rom to upgrade to?
My 8125 is unlocked for use with the old AT&T Blue (yes, i know, im holding on for dear life out of contract!)
Which would work best for me? (rom, radio, etc, for WM6. and do i have to unlock the CID again? same old method? or new for WM6?)
I am sick of WM5 and the issues i am having a fresh start would do it, but why not upgrade!?
appreciate any links as well.
Thanks for your advice in advance!

My findings
Hi,
It's always best to first read the tread on how to flash. Realy.
2nd flash to the latest rom from your provider .
Radio 2.19 seems to be the best in general. Others have issues in some situations. However you can flash those without hard reset. So you can try several without losing settings and stuff.
On OS my findings for wm6 are Faria's latest (no touch) or reTOUChed final. But i didn't try NBD 7.9 yet.
All respect to other cooks! these just met my needs best. It's personal.
greetings

Hey, take a look at my sig.
I've been reading through these forums for months too.
Here's my 2 cents:
You need to decide what kind of ROM you want... Touch or Crossbow
I use to love Crossbow but I found Touch and I'm in love with it...once you go with Touch you won't want to go to Crossbow anymore.
If you want Touch.. I would say NBD v7.8..it's awesome.
If you want Crossbow.. NTS v1 (jaguar) is awesome too... there is NTS v2.. but I haven't tried it.
sweet. you have the same setup i do
i am not familiar with touch or crossbow. what is the diff?
can you link me to the files i need, and/or the procedure you used to update?
thanks so much

Sorry, my friend... then you have lot of reading to do.
Espeically if you don't even know how to flash...
This is for your own good.. if you don't know what you're doing.. you might brick your phone.... meaning dead phone.
So, I advise you to start here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
This should tell you how to flash...
Then you can start picking out what you want to flash to.
Touch: NBD: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311534
Crossbow: NTS: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314660
If you don't know the difference then try flashing them both and pick which one you like... I did... I must have flashed like dozens of time to figure out which one I liked. Also, people have different needs and preference so my taste in ROMs might not fit your needs too.
Just because you flash a new ROM doesn't mean everything's going to work... we'd want them to but sometime it's now.. so, without knowing what you did you won't probably enjoy the new ROM.
Try to enjoy this learning process.. otherwise, I'd say don't even bother because you're gonna have hell of a time trying to get everything just right.
I'm not trying to be mean.... just trying to help.
I'll try to help anyone if I can.. just like everyone else in this forum.
PS. I go here to see the list of threads for WM6 Wizard (8125).. I try to keep up with it but can't..so, I just focus on what I like.

I do know how to flash!
i flashed it before, but i am not up to speed with the new stuff.
to make my phone ideal, stable, and the best it can be,
which version recommendations do you suggest for, rom, radio, etc.
how should i set the phone up? which rom should i download and is there a particular place you can link me to download?
if i just know WHAT i want to, which versions, etc, i can read up, search and do all that myself. i just dont know what would be ideal for me right now
i am having a problem with the 8125 where i will be talking and it will just shut off and start rebooting, and keep rebooting. die, reboot. with full battery.
then when i plug it in to the stock charger, it will come on, but the battery reads in at like 6-15%,
is this the battery?
it started acting up when i spilled a little water on it last week!

I am in SC with ATT (Cingular) and a 8125 G4 and am having good results with XDA Mobile 6 Release 2a Full Version. I started flashing without unlocking the CID but it was a pain so I went ahead and unlocked it, but it is not necessary and there are some great step by step instructions in the forum. I followed the instructions and even though I am a newbie I haven't bricked my phone.

Oh.. in that case.. just like my sig says, I use NBD v7.8 right.. gonna flash to v7.9 soon.. man, thast zoki guy is fast and good.
go here and you'll find bunch of he's ROMs... I found that v7.4 & v7.8 is most stable, for me at least.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311534
For Radio.. the UK T-Mobile 2.19 is most stable from what I hear and experienced.
I've only tried 2.69 with ipl/spl 3.08.. but didn't work out.. I started missing calls.
There are group of people who's trying to figure out which Radio is the best in this forum... so, look in there time to time.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=312834&page=22
When flashing I always try to flash to T-Mobile 2.26 first.. then flash UK T-mobile 2.19.. then whatever ROM I want.. this way I start fresh all the time.
About your battery... well, I'm no expert but it might be with your battery... don't know.. I bet that water did do some damage.. if it's still under warrenty I would try getting a replacement for the phone first... then, if it still doesn't work then try getting new battery. Other then that, I don't know much about battery... good luck!
hi.. i have a htc 8125 wizard, and i want to install wm6 to it, but i dont know what to do, yesterday i follow the cid unlock turtorial, mine is a G3, i want a good wm6 rom... if i could be original one of htc it would be great i need some help please, which one is the best for my wizard
I have an 8125 and I've tried a few... the NBD v. 9.1 not only looks nice, but comes with all the toys you'd want on it. It's also the only one that so far hasn't rebooted, froze, or basically not worked right. All the others gave me problems. NBD is stable, I hear less complaints from that compared to Black Diamond, for instance.
Here's a link:

There's no official WM6 for the Wizard. Just follow the Wiki to know how to unlock your phone, then READ to choose which Rom suits your needs...
Read each one in this forum before you try. I looked them over and the best one i like was Touch No Evil. And I'm truly pleased. Was Decent in speed even without overclocking.
Went from a Molski Biz Wm5 rom. Faria makes popular roms too.
Just read each one.
You should give TNT5.0 a try. There are 3 different versions available for download. I personally have the touchflo edition installed on my phone and love it.
Please modify your thread name to better reflect your problem.
That way maybe more people may help you.
Also, please don't start a new "Which rom is the best" thread, as this has been asked too many times and you will only get different opinions. Try and see what you like, don't let others tell you that.
thans a lot
thanks a lot people, the only think that i dont understand is if this roms are based on WINDOWS MOBILE 6 or are modifed from WINDOWS MOBILE 5.... i want only wm6 thanks a lot..
As already said, WM6 was never officially released for the Wizard, so all the Custom Roms are based on other devices' WM6 Roms, and thus have a few bugs...
tmda?
in the unlock guides i see a wizards love and other tmda roms, for what is those? i think them are wm6 but that wizard love is so slow im tryin farias ripght know and i like it but its a little slow... another thing when i use windowws live it copy all my messenger contacts to the phone and all my mobile phone numbers dissapear thanks a lot.please i neeed one like Schap's 3.60a rom for hermes.. thanks a lot guys....
*SIGH* Just READ guy!
java
hi again guys i have some problems executing a software java that uses bluetooth, any idea how can i fix it thanks a lot....
I have my i-mate SP5 running wm6 Tornado Perfect English Edition as of now. However I want to downgrade it back to the official i-mate ROM as I'm parting ways with my SP5.
I have found this ROM on the club i-mate FTP. ftp://ftp.clubimate.com/i-mate_SP5_WWE_2.5.331.2.zip
Can I flash this ROM without modifying anything and get to back to the original ROM? I did the SuperCID when I was upgrading so is there anything similar I should do when I'm downgrading?
Any help much appreciated.
Just hard reset and run the RUU, or be safe, format BINFS first
Do you mean the file I mentioned above? Couldn't find RUU file on the club i-mate server.
RUU is basically the ROM im talking about here
From what I've seen, the stock ROMs (like the iMate one) are usually bigger than the cooked WM6 ROMs. So if you're uncomfortable with doing a format BINFS, you may be able to just download the file from the ftp site, and run it. You should be back to WM5.
Why are you going back anyway?
I'm also back at WM5... I tried to get along with the WM6 of Karhoe (who did a pretty good job) but I've got the problem with the time out delay at the incoming calls.
There I'm getting very much calls a day it was very frustrating to have that delay of 6-10 seconds...
Greetz
@Karhoe: I'm downloading the file I posted in the first post. That supppose to be the world wide english (WWE) version. What I'm trying to ask is that ROM only contain the OS, not the radio stack or IPL and other stuff? I just want it to return to the original wm5 OS while keeping other settings.
@bipinsen: Thanks for that. I got myself a iPhone and selling the SP5. I think it's better to sell with the original OS as there is more resources out there.
Basically most of the AKU2 ROMS contain a whole new IPL and radio stack I think, why don't you check with typhoonnbftool ?

Oooohhhh.. Now I'm envious!
I should think that selling it with WM6 should get you more buyers.
I look on Craigslist and rarely see WM6 phones. Annoys me. Part of why I chose HTC because I new I could buy it cheaper and upgrade it myself.
Just to update anyone who is interested I have downgraded using the ROM i mentioned in the first post. It was pretty straight forward; just have to run the installer.
@Exitao: I agree, but the buyer is more likely to find bugs in unsupported ROM. Now I have been using the wm5 ROM for few hours I notice how sluggish the official ROM is. Maybe I will give the buyer option to upgrade into the new ROM.
WM5 was always buggy, but so was WinCE3.0. Well, it is an MS product after all. They never got rid of the bugs, they just "upgraded" the OS.
I spend last few days searching and reading xda forums but still i have some problems and questions to clear. I hope i wont repeat anything already been there.
From variety of ROMs here i was looking for first: compatible one, and second: as clean as possible i mean no manufacturer additional programs or user modifications. So my choice went for Kaiser WWE ROM cause some users also claims both PDAs have same hardware. Then i have successfully extracted the RUU_signed.nbh and tried to write it on the phone using pdocwrite but it seems i dont know how exactly to use the tool cause i keep getting "Cannot find the file" (or similar) error - maybe you can also give me a tip about that too? I saw some other methods on the forum but they all ask for boot loader menu which i dont see how to get with this phone.
Am I going to the right direction or there is something wrong?
You definitely use a method unadapted to ks20 and will eventually brick your phone going on this way.
I successfully ported wm6.1 to ks20 a few days ago and will publish uc wwe+fr rom when tests are finished, hopefully by the end of the week.
