hello guys
i currently have WM 6.0
and if i want to burn a rom into my phone that is WM 6.1
would i need to update my WM first?
if i do can someone send me the link where i can update it?
because i cant seem to find it.
thanks guys for helping me
Before everybody tackles you, let me answe this lol
If you have an official WM6.0, you'll need hardspl to install ANY custom ROM. Just install that and then choose the ROM of your likings (many chefs and ROMs out there).

Sure that you can't see it? Read the sticky thread in this board. Here's the link as your request http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282
thanks for replying.
i already did the unlocking and stuff
so ur saying that even if the rom is for 6.1
i can still just put it on to my phone?

You are making a confusion: the ROM itself (as in Read Only Memory) is the Windows Operating System (among others).
If you have WM6.0, that means you are running a WM6.0 ROM.
If you want WM6.1 you will need to upgrade to WM6.1 ROM.
This is where you are making the confusion: to upgrade to WM6.1 = to "burn" (aka flash) a WM6.1 ROM.
Hope this clears the fog!

hmm.. i think i understand wht ur saying. if i flash a WM 6.1 rom into my phone i would have WM 6.1. and if i have a WM. 6.1 rom and i want a 6.0 rom i simply need to just flash a 6.0 rom onto my phone. correct?
so there is no need for the extra step, of me having to update before i flash a 6.1 rom on to my phone.
essentially, flashing a rom is "Updating" in the sense i think you had in your first post in this thread. There is no need to update anything on your stock ROM because you are entirely replacing it.
It's similar to reformatting a XP computer that's Vista capable and putting Vista on it. (Not that I would recommend that anyone do that to their poor PC.)
However, before you flash, make SURE you have followed all the steps and guides to CID (Security) Unlock your phone and have HardSPL installed properly, otherwise your Kaiser will be a $450 paperweight. SIM (Subsidy) Unlocking is NOT the same as CID unlocking, so make sure you've done it right before trying it out.

Absolutely. Link, which is included in the sticky thread I mentioned above, for you to learn more about ROM http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser#ROMx20.Upgrading
Remember: read carefully before attempting to do anything.

I'm so confused guys! I downloaded this ROM and am trying to get it installed on my phone. Can someone please give me a complete walkthrough on how to do this? Like step by step, everything I need to download, etc.?
I searched Google/these forums and didn't really find exact instructions. Is this the best ROM? Thanks in advance!
You have to install Hard-SPL first to be able to install this ROM.
Follow the instructions given here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334100
And then you can flash the 6.1 ROM using the SD card method.

Awesome, now running 6.1 on my Treo . Which 6.1 ROM do you guys think is the best? I used the one that I linked to in my first post which i found on these forums.
Also I dont need to flash the radio or anything do I? All I did in that Hard SPL thing was just the Hard SPL, not the radio unlocker and all that (what is that anyways?).
Also what's the deal with the SMS style in the WM6.1 cooked ROM? Font is huge lol. Everything else seems cool though.
Ok, so I didn't like that this ROM was missing SMS, battery, etc. so I updated to the other ROM listed on this forum that is basically a vanilla windows mobile 6. I love it, so fast and everything.
Which radio do you guys think is best/most stable/best service? I'm pretty sure I'm on 1.54.07 or something like that (I'll check once my Treo is done rebooting).
My TREO after flash to WM6.1 view in about FW 1.12c.00..... its O.K or No?

hi
can anyone tell me where to get the 6.1 update for htc s710 in india? i registered with htc india but no updates show-up.
to tell the truth ... i'm not comfortable installing a 'cooked' rom posted by dr. gonzo rom coz its first time got a windows device so if i screw the flashing theres no way i can get the original software back
thanks in advance
==================================================
IRRELEVENT POST - NO OFFICIAL WM6.1 FOR VOX
Dude, don't worry the Read me that comes with the Dr.Gonzo's ROM is self explanatory... And Dear, when i tried it for first time, I screwed my VOX too...But then a little patience and VOX wiki..I am up there with my VOX on WM 6.1..ANd now you can see my Signature, i love trying beta ROMsss.. Just in case anything happen to ur phone, give me a buzz at [email protected] may be i can be of some instant help to u... And i bet my life...Senior members on this forum are always ready to help ppl like us...So go ahead and try it..
Thanks to All ppl of this wonderful forum
Loku
there is no official WM6.1 ROM update for S710 ANYWHERE.
you can try the WM6.1 ROM by Dr.Gonzo, it is very good. It does have some minor glitches but a new user like you won't notice it for a while.
and yes this forum will help you if anything goes wrong, but before you do anything please read the wiki completely and when flashing follow ALL instruction(every single line) carefully. ALL!
You would like the WM6.1 rom.
and one more thing....
download the official 1.34 ROM also(its on the FTP),
then in case you screw it up while flashing, you will have the original ROM to fall back on.
thanks lokesh, prajith.
can u give me a link tot he original HTC S710 rom (1.34) u were telling me about?
thanks guys
Upadte HTC S710 with WM 6.1
Hi all, I recently bought HTC s710 and I love there are some queries see if anyone can guide me :
1. If I flash my device with WM 6.1 can i get the original OS by hard reset?
2. If I flash the device will i lose my warranty which is one year ?
3. If i spoil my device is there a way to restore original OS so that repair people do not come to know that I have flashed my device.
Thank you
1). If you flash WM6.1 or ANY ROM, you can not restore to the original ROM by hard reset. You will need to re-flash it.
2). Technically, yes you will lose warranty, however...
3). Patched USPL can be used so you can always restore the original factory/OEM ROM and still use your warranty should you have any hardware issues.
In short, I would not hesitate to flash WM6.1 due to those questions you have. The first thing I did when I got my S710 was flash a patched SPL and unofficial ROM.
h4waii has explained it beautifully.
now please read the wiki! all roms are there.
p.s. is my signature invisible
Yes, it is to all people that are new, it's a fact, they ask before they read, I am getting sick of it. The same questions every day!
XDA should force a reply to each sticky'd Wiki before posting rights are granted, until then only read should be applied to the account. Perhaps I will bring it up with a mod.
excellent idea h4waii!
Mods please do this.
make reply to wiki compulsory before posting.
Atleast ppl will visit there once
I don't think it's that easy to integrate that into vBulletin! lol

It's possible, the C4 forums have it in place on vBulliten 3.7.1, but I am sure they require it more than XDA does.
It would be better to require a certain amount of posts before you can start a new thread. Meh. I don't think it's that much of an issue anyways. I am sure if it was, something would be in place already.
Update error
I downloaded Dr.Gonzo's Monalise v1.0 and finished all the steps in the how-to and Readme. During the final Flash.exe, it is saying ERROR [270] : UPDATE ERROR. The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility.
Read the wiki, you have to flash your USPL

can u plz send me the link suitable for my pocket pc
I have O2 XDA EXEC having windows mobile 5.0 and i want to update it to 6.1 or latest......
THX
hey my friend,
A piece of advice when posting and especially as you are wanting to flash your device...... You need to read a whole heap first and understand what you are doing..... if you do not you will end up bricking ur device and end up a shiny paperweight....
Suggest you read the wiki page and as pilot says the relevant section on xda, and please dont flash if u dont understand the process because we will only see you in here asking for more help on how to unbrick yes?
Look and start here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
If you arent prepared to read then you shouldnt flash ..
ps before my first flash i read for hours and days, making sure i understood what was happening, why it was and what to do if it went wrong. My first flash on my prophet didnt go right, but i knew after reading more why and how to correct it.
Good luck
thx dude
it helps me alot
also remember that the rom u choose is based on what you prefer. maybe pm some of the other roms users and see what they think of it
your lucky when i got my universal i never knew this site was here
[HTC UNIVERSAL - 29/05/09] "WM6.5" WWE v2.0 BETA8
where is the beta 8 ?
should i install this developed rom?
as long as your confidant to do so. what i would aslo recomend to do is also download an official rom or a 6.1 rom so if you dont like the 6.5 then u can go to a stable rom
yip, absolutely!! always have an official rom to hand..........top advice!!!
are setups of official rom of 6.1 or 6.5 available here ?
i am only finding 6.5 screen shots where is its official setup, if it is not then where is 6.1 setup
thx
THe universal is an old device and hence you wont get official 6.5 rom or even a 6.1 come to that lol. If you read the wiki page above like a said before you will find a link to all official roms
so 6.1 or 6.5 will not come to my device
it means i have to use this 5.0 version only ?
lol HTC wont bring out an official 6.1 or 6.5 rom for that device, its too old and they want people to buy new devices, hence why XDA is great!!!
You only need the official 5.0 if something goes wrong, my mate had the same device and used a m2d rom which was very nice, so flash away!!
ok thx
so it means i have to keep this wm 5 to my o2 xda exec..
lolz
lol
soz im prob not making myself clear,
Download and keep safe an offical 5.0 rom, dont use it unless flashing to cooked 6.1 goes wrong.
There are many good 6.1 roms in the forum, so go ahead and try some when you understand what you are doing
so i dont want to try it if it is not clear that 6.1 is supported ot not
i will only do if u r 100% sure that it is supported
take a look in the universal section, you'll find many 6.1 roms there my friend

Hi mate
You have one of the best HTC devices ever build!!
I can recommend you Tomal wm 6.1 8.5 or 8.1 ROM´s
Actually wm6.5 ROM´s are in beta and are not so stable, and if its your first time flashing go for 6.1
Good luck,

Yes in short. Read the sticky guides in the dia 2 forum so you dont end up bricking ur device. WHen 6.5 offically comes out then of course u can flash to it, if you flash without hardspl (uspl) then no-one will ever know you flashed a cooked rom if you do revert back to official one.
Just a word though, do read before you flash, you will void your warranty flashing a cooked rom, so your choice.
