Do you have WINDOWS mobile 6 rom? (not talking WIZARD. I'm talking OFFICIAL WM6 ROM)

Do you know where can I find a REAL version of the OFFICIAL Windows Mobile 6 ROM? Do you have it? do you know a link?

There probably wont be anyone who will claim this. No one has it officially. Plus if anyone does they will not speak up. You might as well try getting milk from a bull.

Thanks for your prompt response... It means that all WM6 (Wizard Mobile 6) roms are a Windows Mobile 5 customization, or aren't they?
So, what's the big deal on changing from your original rom to an unknown version when you can install all apps included in these roms without risk?
At least, in your opinion, which is the best, most stable, faster and tools-rich rom out there for an HTC Wizard G4 ? Faria? X-Plore? Love? mUn? other?
I'm asking this because I tested almost all roms here, and cannot say that there is a real difference (except for the make-up details) from one to another... Maybe as an expert you can help me to take the right decision on what's the best Rom to flash...

do you want and excelent ROM??

Try out Xplore v1.1 ROM you will love it. If you dont find it usefull or dont notice any difference at all. Go back to your WM5 ROM.

Look at my signiture!
BTW: O2 Germany will bring a HTC P4350 with WM6 in 2 weeks.

In all honesty, they are diffrent, just not a M$ release. They are not WM5 OS files. Now as for the best, it depends on what you like. Some like my Vanilla, slot of people like Xplore. It all really depends on what you are going to use it for.

I'm very proud to talk with a ROM creator (seriously). So tell me more about your vanilla ROM... I tested the latest (I think) version of this rom. It was really nice but it doesn't have some tools/programs than others have.
I'm looking for a fast ROM that contains useful teaks and tools to manage the phone as easier as possible.
I use my phone as a mobile office (MMS and SMS are critical to me, good reception at call time, Word, Excel and PDF viewer are critical too, connect to WiFi networks, ActiveSync) and sometimes (specially in airports while waiting for a flight) as a fun center.
Rarely I browse the Internet or use my phone as MP3 player or movie player.
Sounds like I can use the WM5 that came with my phone but I found it SOOooo slow for every task I do.
based on these expectations, what do you think is the best rom for me?

LOL. This is the reason i Started cooking.
Mine does not have all those apps, you are correct. But thats why its a Vanilla version. It gives a (somewhat) stable building ground for ROM Cookers to get a close to clean version without all the tearing and ripping out others includes.

Reffering 2 Xplore v1.1 ROM
Okay, whats up with the WIFI(won't turn on)? doesn't work on my Cingular 8125 plus the MMS too, can't receive o send. Apart from that its okay(doesn't have memory issue like other Roms)...but i had to go back to Most beautiful coz of the WIFI & MMS.... anyone got a solution?
Oh and another question i downloaded the ipl/spl 3... but when i extract it with WINrar... it shows the nkf... something blah blah file... like how do i flash the ipl/spl 3... on my fone?

For many people just two registrysettings solved the wifi issu. I posted it several time in the xplore thread. Just have a look and read.
HKLM\Comm\TnetWln1\Parms\HTCPreloadstatus --> 1
HKLM\Comm\TnetWln1\Parms\HTCPreloadWifi --> 1

If you want an official WM6 ROM you can get those from the Official Windows Mobile 6 SDK . You can get them here.
But I don't know if these ROMs can be adapted to an real PDA...

That's a Nice and interesting question, my friend...
Anybody knows if it is possible to rip the rom from a virtual PDA and load it into a real PDA?

Wanna Change my rom

This Morning I have soft reset my M600 and WM6 lost my password.

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

i have no idea

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:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=325284

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....

Hey Guys

Great looking forum here and great to see all the people offering so much support. Had my Wizard for about a year and now its out of warranty I thought i'd have a play . Theres obviously a few tutorials to follow before flashing a ROM, but i was just going to say, I regularly get Connection Error while trying to flash other ROM's onto this phone. I tried to flash Schaps WM6 ROM to it, but it said connection error. However I have sucessfully flashed the T-mobile 2.26 ROM twice, therefore I am not sure if its the phone or the rom or what. Do you reckon if i follow those tutorials it will sort the connection error issue, or is that a problem with my PC. I have a few WM6 on my PC, crossbow, helmi, etc etc, so i was wondering which you recommend etc. Thanks very much, hopefully ill be able to input something when i learn a bit more

follow the tutorials,
be sure you are cid /sim unlock
only flash roms found in the wizard forum, not on other devices forum, roms are device specific
happy flashing

Schaps rom is for HERMES
If you want to brick your PDA, then be bold and try roms designed for other devices, but you will certainly BRICK IT
If you have a HTC Wizard then, just like the man before me said, do the following :
Find out if your device is a G3 or a G4
If it's a G3 CID Unlock it (not same as SIM Unlock !!!). If it's a G4, then check the G4 Forum to see what you can do.
Choose a rom that you like most but make sure that it's designed for WIZARD, so i suggest only search in the Wizard forum.

check here:

Ah right, thanks for that guys, im very glad i didnt flash it with a other ROM now. I certainly don't want to brick it, although it is insured for a while so i could happen to drop it haha
Are there any ROMs you can recommend to me . I am always up for trying them

ok, i think ive CID Unlocked my phone now. Dropped it to Button 1.05 did the lokiwiz bat then dropped it again to bring my SPL down. Ive just put on the t-mobile 2.21 ROM, now am I ready to upgrade to WM6? or do i need to put 2.26 on? Cheers

Go check out this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=320159 .
That is a ROM Kitchen that has pretty much every option you could want in it! Very stable base, and many many options. and if you have any questions, they have probably already been answered in that thread, and if not, "theloon"(the creator) will answer them for ya. Right now its one of the best IMO, and especially for what you are looking for.

hi
As u have still not flashed any wm6 roms as yet, I wud rather suggest first flash and install a couple of cooked roms from others,just to have the feel of them and get used to the newer features added in them. Only when u get urself comfortable with them and understand their working,and above all r successful in flashing roms,inly then start thinking about cooking ur own rom.
There r a couple of very fantastic build Roms by excellent cookers here in this Forum u can start off with e.g
faria's "The real thing Rom",
Mfraaz " Xm6r3"
it's right " Tnt 5 or his Latest Professional+HTC Home"
Xplorer1.1 etc etc
They r all cooked for Wizards specifically.Just search the forum or hit the 'SEARCH' button above,
Welcome to the Flashing lunatics Forum
Happy Flashing

Just put on WM6 TNT1437 and am really impressed. Didnt take long to flash and didnt have any problems with it hanging Runs like a beast, dead quick and I am really impressed with this whole cube thing it seems a bit of useless fun hehe . although there is like a red, yellow and green line at the top of the screen. is that normal?

Okay, I feel a fool Thats the battery meter haha This is great. Its dead fast and runs a lot smoother. I think i am going to like this whole cooking your own Windows thing
Thanks

Grrrrrrrrrrr8

Glade to hear,that u have upgraded and enjoying it
it's a whole new experience.
If u don't feel comfortable with TouchFLO and the cube,than I'll suggest u flash the other equally excellent Professional + HTC Home Rom,u'll even like it much better.
If u dont want multicolor battery bar(comes by default) at the top,u can disable by open WinXplore then startup folder and remove battery level.lnk (you can use file explorer on the folder windows/startup)

The Professional + HTC Home. I love it!

Well ill probably be cooking more and more roms now just for fun I will try the professional one as well. Whats the benefits out of curiosity? The TouchFLO just looked nice
Anywhere I can get voIP as Cab ?

also whats the deal about changing skins, is it possible to revert to the standard crossbow skin or even change and customize a new one. this is all so new to me
Done and I like Now i want to cook my own ROM's make my own skins and get voIP on

congrats man , great feeling right

Rather than starting a new thread ill ask in this one, has anyone got Farias Camera cab Cheers

why to upgrade from wm5 to wm6 ?

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?
