So I just registered on this site and have been browsing for quite some time and I had a couple questions and I apologize if I didn't search enough to get the answers....but I tried
Anyways. I have a T Mobile SDA which has just the normal WM5 os running and I saw these new roms, rom "V2.10.06 PV" to be exact. Other then installing from the ways stated in the thread, are there any other things I should know so I don't end up bricking my phone and I guess I should make sure my phone is compatible with the process of updating? Also, is there a list of the programs that come with the rom, or do you install them all as separate plugins? Thanks.
Well if you have an SDA, this is the forum for a PocketPC phone called the HTC Universal, not a smartphone, so yes, you will brick your phone.
You might want to look in the smartphone section http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=246 but I don't know if there are any WM6 builds for the SDA
Okay, I'm absolutely new to the PDA-Dev stuff. I'm a normal desktop software developer and I only use the PDA's as a normal user ;-)
I have the german T-Mobile branded MDA Pro.
So here are my first questions:
1.) Here in the forums we have a few threads about WM6 on the
- WM6 kitchen release
- Jwrightmcps Crossbow
- Final ULTIMATE - No Bugs HTC Universal WM6 ROM
- Universal WM6 Professional Rom
So, on a first look this is oabsolutely verwhelming. What is the right choice? In other words: When wanting to upgrade, what is the most stable version?
2.) What is this AKU stuff that's mentioned in nearly every post? I can't find a clear explanation of what this really is.
3.) I want to upgrade in a legal way. Loosing support on my MDA is not the problem, but I want a legally licenced WM6 on my pda. So where can I get that?
Are there any other hints, tips & tricks you would suggest for starting with that?
I think you on the wrong forum man!
You need Microsoft website
The only legal version of WM is WM5.

1) Really, the only 'stable' ROM is WM5, WM6 will have some problems, but they are getting better.
2) I actually haven't figrude that one out yet... I assume its the version number or something... never really been important.
3) Short answer you can't, long answewr talk to t-mobile.I'm not aware of any carrier releasing WM6 for the universal, but for a legal upgrade you'd have to get it from your carrire (and most likely have them do it)
Okay.. well.. then.. hrm.. just ignore point three.
Back to point 1.) I do not want a rock stable WM6 on my MDA Pro. But when it comes to different WM6 versions/distributions to choose from, I want the most stable of them. So which one is the one to go for?
To Point 2.) I thought about some version numbering too, but I'm not pretty sure about that. But when it's not really important, why making the difference? ;-)
Is video call important to you?
There is still no known stable Video Call on WM6 yet except for the Video Call Beta by Jwright.
I think there is only 2 known source (correct me if I am wrong) of WM6 for Universal floating around in many forums. The one by Helmi (older AKU) & the one by Ivan (newer AKU). The rest are just variants of this 2. With Plus & Minus features, some bug fix, etc.

There are 3 bases:
The "Old" base (helmi 0.1, midget 0.1[.1], JWright, etc)
Ivan's new ROM (Ivan V1,2,3)
Midget's new ROM (Midget 1.0, Ivan's customisation of Midget, PDAViet (Latest)
My recommendation (and I think this is the fourth, possibly fifth, time I've said this - grab all the ROMs that are stickied to the forum - and test them all. If you're concerned about stability during your tests then get a spare phone to use.
And if you're trully concerned about stability and legality - stick to your vendor's version of WM 5
PhoenixHawk:
I 'was' in the exact same position as you. I'm a software developer, have never upgraded a ROM before and all these "Crossbow", "WM6 Final", "WM6V3.??", "No Bugs", "Final", etc, etc, had me somewhat scratching my head.
In a total nutshell, I did the following:
1
Followed this guide : http://wiki.xda-developers.com/inde...tion On How To Upgrade with Bootloader method
(i.e., downloaded WinRar, and "MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe")
2
Downloaded the first RAR file from this thread : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305512
3
When part 2 had downloaded, I copied the "MaUGradeUt_noID.exe" into the "NOCID_RUU_flasher_xda-devs" directory which is from the extracted RAR file.
4
Copied the "nk.nbf" file from the "Uni_WM6_v3_Ivan" directory into the "NOCID_RUU_flasher_xda-devs" directory from the extracted RAR file.
5
Double-clicked "MaUGradeUt_noID.exe" in the "NOCID_RUU_flasher_xda-devs" directory.
6
Started to worry as the program flashed my ROM.
Some 10 minutes later I had a fully working, zero problem HTC Universal running what looks to be a rock-solid stable version of Windows Mobile 6.
Hope this messages, coming from someone who has never done anything like this before is both easy to follow, 'n00b proof' and proof that it can be done from someone with zero-experience.
I'm sure there's a load of pro's and con's in which ever ROM is downloaded, but I took the chance at what I thought would be an easy to follow option, read as much as possible and it seems to have paid off.
Hope this helps,
J

Your answer should be like above.
PhoenixHawk need the second part, not me.
I thought Midget's was derived from Ivan's, so I was wrong.
@J
You are right, once you get the first working, you can read on or try as many until you are happy with one.
I'll give it a try.
I don't have a spare phone, so my regular one will have to keep up with me ;-)
But first things first: Currently I have some problems getting my MDA Pro syncing with my Vista client. The mobile device center just won't recognize my pda when it's connected. And I can't start about thinking flashing the rom until that's not working... anyone a clue?

Take some advice (I didn't listen, thought I was better than everyone else and ending up bricking my phone everytime).
Do NOT use Vista. For the sake of an hour's additional work in either installing another harddrive or swapping it temporarily, do everything within an XP environment.
Trouble free.

It is a big question, but all your questions are answered in this huge forum already, so you have to go and do some reading and searching for yourself and you will find all your answers, plus more and you will learn a lot. You will see what people said about 6.1 and you will see waht people said about BT just by reading other threads.
Dude, theres official BT fix to download from the HTC: (Bluetooth Hot Fix (for HTC TyTN II) )

1. the vibrate function can provide you hours of enjoyment, with proper placement (external or internal, your choice)
2. install as many programs as possible, filling up both main memory and storage card, using them once or twice then never use them again. after flashing a new rom, install a new assortment of software you probably don't need.
3. re-encode your favourite pr0n to ppc scaling and impress your friends with today's pocket pr0n.
4. port over wm5 from the wizard (blinding speeds, you won't be sorry)
5. read ALL the stickies in Kaiser upgrading area of forum (this isn't near as fun as the other suggestions, but you'll be able to answer your own questions, and be comfortable in the knowledge that you can hack your phone "without any help")
1 and 3 make a nice combo too!
Yes there is a WM6.1 upgrade, i am using Shaps at the moment and it seems to work fine for me.
WM6.1 doesnt give you a huge amount new, Shaps 6.1 rom for me has been stable and quick, i dont tend to install much on my phones though other than the included stuff. I do a few bits and install TomTom. 6.1 has threaded sms which is nice but has some annoying little issues, like i cant seem to find a way to forward sms messages any more. bit annoying.
Flicking through some of the other forums people seemed to be muttering about not being able to sync there 6.1 phones with ex2003, i use ex2007 though so i cant comment, mine works fine.
Havent noticed any bad sound quality over bluetooth. Be more specific though, do you mean stereo bluetooth or just normal.
I use the htc home plugin looks nice and works well.
Hope i have helped.
Rob
ps. Remember before you rush out and start flashing roms, read the wiki and things. You have to do stuff like hard spl and things first.
If i were you i would do it in this order.
1. hard spl
2. sim unlock (if needed)
3. wm 6.1 rom
4. radio rom

You are one sick and twisted individual and I like it.
Start with the beginning of the internet at www.www.com and read through the entire thing.
I like to turn on wifi, 3g, gps, and bluetooth and use my kaiser to keep my coffee warm.
I have bought a new Imate Ultimate 6150, upgraded ROM to WM 6.1 pro.
Wants to put HTC Style TouchFlo Today screen, Where can I download this for free.
Someone pls help me, I saw lot of threads here saying Manilla, TouchFlo 2D, 3D, but are these only for HTC brand of Devices only?
I downloaded a ROM in a file called TF3d_wwe_ByUtopykzebulon.rar which contained an EXE when running it tries to update the ROM, the device which is active sync connected, gets disconnected, lights off, PC says USB device not recognised, then update fails saying connection lost.
Pls Plssssssssssss someone put some light and answer me
Thanks in advance
MICE
don't try and flash those roms to your device, you'll brick it as they're not designed for your hardware.
I don't know if touchflo has been ported to your device but there are a couple of alternatives out there that will work that are finger friendly.
Upon searching on this forum have found people using TouchFlo in Ultimate 9150 or so, is this possible?
Can someone explain, is this touchflo a special hardware based functionality only put in HTC pdas but not in others. I am using Pocket CM contacts prog which gives the touchflo features. So then even ultimate also can support the flo features.
Can someone put some light plsssssssssss
Thanks
Mice
Maybe Moderators, Seniors of this board does not like Imate brand of PDA's could be the reason none of them respond to my humble query here.
Admins, if u feel the question is bogous, kindly delete this thread instead of me waiting for a kind answer.
Thanks in advance
Mice
Search google
are u looking for this HERE
looking for an imate 8150 rom can plis help me
Hello, I'm new here.. actually the previous owner of the phone sent me here. Well in summary, I brought a HTC Tilt from someone and they had PDA Corner Ultimate with this on it (R 1.70.19.09 G25.83.40.02 h D 3. Abusalza). Now I have no clue what that all means but I like the phone. First off once I get the IE homepage and type anything in the search part, the website is tiny (unable to read). i tried adjusting the text size and still the same thing. Then it will not allow me to select what I'm searching for (i.e. search- yahoo messenger, bring up the site but I can not select it or go to the page). Next it started acting weird by putting 5s in the address bar (on its own). I've been looking throught this site, trying and hoping that I will find something to help. I may have bypast it (too tired now). Can someone help me figure this out? I also would like to flash WM6.5 on here. i read the tut for that but was wondering do I have to remove the stuff thats on here first? Thank you and feel free to ask me more about this.
Hello my friend.
First, read up a bit on your device, visit the xda wiki, search for tilt and do some reading before you do anything daft.
You arent ready to flash yet. Understand your device a bit and how it works, then when your ready have a play
Visit the wiki here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TiltSpecificWikiPage
Have fun
I had to step away and take a break. No offence but I'm still lost. On the other hand I'm still reading up on this. i think i might just start from scratch. I'm looking inthe phone to see what programs like and post it on the thread where I can get a custom ROM.
the att tilt is the att variant of the htc kaiser (the only difference is the keyboard layout which may need to be fixed depending on the rom source.. you will just need to install a cab), check the kaiser rom section. As for a recommended 6.5 rom, its a person opinion, but i use anryls Roms.. and for you i would recommend the 21500 rev6 build (i have been having corruption problems with all the 21501 versions) To warn you though, 6.5 is not finished and there for not completly stable.... for example the camera does not work with htc menu enhancement (its a driver issue)
Like i said if you wanna look around for yourself sheck the kaiser rom section.
hope that helps,
Joel
