hi all,
just want to know how to upgrade my xda exec on O2 to wm6 from wm5
what files do i need and where do i get them from? including instructions on how to do it.
many thanks to those of you who can help
First you need to download a WM6 or WM6.1 rom. It can be found here on the forum. So search for it and upgrade. Then you have to unzip it or just run it. (You'll see what to do.) Then connect your PDA to the computer and if it is recognized you may run the files that you downloaded. The uprgrade has a guide so you just have to follow that. Than reset your PDA, and you have the rom that you downloaded. (At least i did this way. And it works) For the first run you may wait for a little longer but after that, you are good to go.

hey i wanted to ask, how to revert back to my original official rom after i have upgraded with a cooked rom from here. is it possible and where to get the detailed info on how to doing it. thanks
To rewert back to an older rom you have to do the same. Just download on and run it. If i remember correctly you can find original roms also in the forum. Try serching for it. Good luck.

In a curiocity i have worngly upgraded my rom from this site http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-230279.html . After that i could not able switch on my phone. No display is comming out. Instead, it is showing "SERIAL" at top of the screen & "v 1. 02" at the bottom of the screen when connected via a charger. When connected through activesync, "USB" is showing in place of "SERIAL", but activesync could not detect my ppc.

You're stucked in bootloader mode.
Upgrade your ROM and it should work again!
Activesync is not the problem, you made something really stupid upgrading to a non-working ROM... Like using rocket fuel in your car... You can do it, but it's stupid because it may kill you and the car...
Just download the CORRECT ROM for your device (that's so easy!) and install it on your device.
0. Download a VALID ROM
1. Plug the device, SERIAL V1.xx -> USB (screen of device)
2. Run the ROM updater on the PC
3. Wait... don't unplug!
4. After some checks, it shall boot again like a new one

Well I am doing that for the past two days ... but still cant figure out !!
There are a couple of things you need to do, but I don't have links for each of them, so you need to find them in this forum and do them yourself:
1. superCID you phone. unless you do this, you can't flash your rom. at least that was what happened to me.
2. download one of the roms, I am using the VA_alpha rom, which quite stable and functional. you may use the others as well. but I recommend VA_alpha for now.
3. Follow the instructions specific to the rom you downloaded. Basically you need to connect your phone to the usb, connect via active sync, then run the rom update file and let it do its thing.
4. depending on the rom you used, you may want to add some extras after flash. especially phil's version needed lots of things to be installed after the flash. VA_alpha has almost everything in the rom, so you don't need to deal with many things after the flash and start using your phone immediately.
Have fun!

well, as long as you want a basic phone, you don't need to install any extras. After all, this is why they are called extras, right? But then, if you are just looking for a basic functionality phone, why bother yourself with upgrading to an alpha operating system?
Hi, I tried for many times to update my qtek 9100 with some of farias rom, as the last I tried, farias [the real thing], without any good results... The only one that is working now on my phone is Wizard love.
Someone knows where to find the last issue ?
Thanks,
Christian

I thought faria's the real thing was the latest faria rom... Oh and how are you trying to flash the rom and is your device a G3 or G4?
If your device is a G3(1.xx or 2.xx or 3.08) then you will need to CID unlock the device before you can flash anything with RUU
If the device is a G4(2.xx.0001) then you have 2 options. You can either use shelltools to flash, or use the-equinox's new SoftSPL which temporarily CID unlocks the device thus not voiding your warranty and allows you to flash any rom with RUU.
This is the link to what I believe is faria's latest rom: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297762
Thanks for your reply.
I guess you are right, the last version was crossbow, but I found many of them on a ftp (ftp://130.89.126.174:2311/Wizard/Roms/WM6 Roms/), and this is the last reference I guess.
06/08/2007 01:21 Directory Crossbow Reloaded 1.7.1
I tryed two methods.
Fisrt, using the package application utility.
Second, using shelltools, uploading the .nbf file.
My device is a G4, and as far as i read I dont see any issues on upgrading using CID-lock devide.
When I flash using shelltools, Do I need to clean the current device rom, or just send the new one should work ?!
Before flash I did a backup using wizard service tool, and it generates some files with .fls extensions. Is it possible to put then back in order to have my phone to the original state ?
And the last question ( )
Temporary unlocking using your suggestion (SoftSPL) could damage something if the process kill before ends ?
Thanks for your time, answering that.

Follow THIS tutorial, you'll do fine.
Post any questions related there, there's no need for new threads.
Thank You.
Latest Latest Rom
To be completely accurate, Faria's latest latest ROM is in the kitchen he released (sticky at the top of this forum). This is a minor upgrade to the Real Thing ROM, but is worth checking out, plus its a great way to get started with cooking your own rom.

Give this a try. It temporarily CID unlocks your G4 device allowing you to upgrade via RUU method instead of shelltools. It is much more effective at flashing roms as I was never able to flash faria's rom with shelltools but it finished after 6 minutes with the RUU.
Check this thread out
Thanks all for the prompt response.
I did the process using sspl, and for the first time I could get to the final process....
Thanks a lot,

Faria's most recent ROM
The Faria kitchen was released on 4/20/07....
but Dr Puttingham mentions in this post:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310816
that this more recent ROM is from Faria "with regards".....which was on 6/7/07
I'm a big fan of Faria's ROMs and Dr Puttinghams instructions/tutorials!
Hi everyone, I have recently bought a htc touch pro from polish orange provider. I have browsed dozens of topic, trying to make my windows mobile 6.1 life more satisfying, but I have few questions to ask.
1. What does Hard-Spl do ? And can I hard-spl my phone ?
2. To install advanced config, do I have to jailbreak my windows, or do anything to install it ? I don't want to end up with useless phone
3. When I try to upgrade my default opera browser to the newest build, the instlaler cannot uninstall previous version of opera, neither can I because it is not listed in add/remove programs menu. And, if I ignore the warning, I get an error in installling the newest build, but somehow I have 2 opera mobiles listed in programs menu.
Thanks in advance, r4ster.

I probably can't answer your questions like a pro, but I had a few experience that I can share with you.
1. I don't know what Hard-SPL do, but I guess it's like jailbreak for Windows Mobile device. If you want to flash to a new custom Rom, you need to Hard-SPL it first (don't need to do this if you flash back to the original ROM). And yes, Hard-SPL your device
2. Jailbreak is only a term to unlock your iphone... With a Win Device, you don't need to unlock anything to be able to download and install other software. This is the beautiful part of a Window mobile.
3. Definitively can't help you here... but I know that plenty of thread has been posted for this matter... just do a quick search. However, I strongly suggest (with no responsibility) you to "Hard-SPL" and "CID unlock" your device and flash it to a new ROM. It will make your phone faster and much cleaner. Also, you'll get your new Opera install.
The question now is, which ROM
I suggest NATF's v2.3, but he'll be releasing a v3 today or so. Don't flash to it right away... just flash to v2.3 first and see if v3 is stable or not by reading people posts.
Flashing is not as hard as people claim... just read and be very carefully before you do it. Don't skip any step. The first time is stressful, but after that it's just a daily burger.

you have to hard-spl first before Flashing any Rom. Please read those sticky carefully. I do not take any responsibility of what you're doing.
This is what I did (it works for me without any problem)
0- I backup everything I need with PPCPimbackup and outlook
1- I HARD-SPL my device
2- I CID unlock my device
3- Flash to NATF's v2.3 ROM, hard-reset my device
4- Flash new Radio (this step is optional... and to find the best one, you have to test one by one.)
5- Restore my backup
6- Re-install extra software that I need.
Like I mention earlier, these steps work for me, and there are big chance that it will work for you as well... but I do not take any responsibility. Before you Flash to any ROM, HARD-SPL your device. and after flashing your ROM, HARD-RESET it.

Well, first I hope that it doesn't go wrong. And second, I'm pretty sure you can stand the temptation of flashing to a new ROM, so you'll probably going to do it very soon. But Third, So far I haven't seen any thread that someone can unbrick their Touch Pro after a bad flash (he/she didn't Hard-spl before flashing, that's why)... However, there is a way to do it with the Kaiser... so don't lose hope there.
Just READ everything carefully, you have a 99.5% successful rate if you do. I would say that the 0.5% is just your bad luck (example Computer stop working during the flash... but that's just pure bad luck and you can't blame anyone but God)

flashing is quite easy, after connecting via ActiveSync... double click ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the on-screen directions... that's it.
if you want custom roms, you have to Hard-SPL your device first. you won't be able to flash your device with custom roms (cooked) if it's not Hard-SPLed but you can flash it with NON-custom roms (roms that are downloadable from HTC websites).
