Hi,
I got an O2 XDA mini S with Windows Mobile 5.0 and I want to know whether I can upgarded the OS to Windows Mobile 6.1?
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391927 looks really nice and I need to know whether I can use this Windows Mobile Version for my XDA? or are there any problems with this phone types?
One more question, the author of this thread says the "Touchflo-Edition" is his favorit, can you tell my why? What are the differec between Professional- and Touchflo Edition?
Really thanks for answer
Greetz Tobi
Yes you can upgrade to WM6.1 on your XDA Mini S I just did it for first time last week used below ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2132749&postcount=2
Before you do the ROM I recommend using Windows XP because VISTA doesn't have full support for ROM updates. Also use the below guide first.

Try and do a bit more searching round this forum.
Hope this helps.

Can I flash the OS directly from wm5.0 to wm6.1?
BEfore you do anything, please read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Also go to the Wiki Section and read, read, about you device
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
Unless you want to brick it real quick
I'm reading this tutorials and I'm not sure whether I should take TNT or SNN rom, maybe there are some advantages and disadvantages?
Greetz Tobi
What is the situation of your devoce ?
How is your CID and SIM ? Locked or unlocked ? Which IPL/SPL do you have ?
Please check all this before you flash something ?
Dude I know about this facts
But when my phone is compatible to both roms, which one you would take?
Greetz Tobi
That is a personnal choice only, no one will tell you take this or that
Hm, but there are no recomments for SNN Edition ...
Why don't you try both see which one you prefer, personnally I prefer SNN Edition, it's quick and looks really great and has all functions I need.
Once You have unlocked CID and followed all the steps on the other post you can flash from one ROM to the other. I have tried about three so far.

Best is subjective, all depends on what you are looking for... Fully loaded with TouchFLO? Stripped down fast as it can with no unnecessary bloat? You need to seriously take a look at what you need, and then check out whats out there and decide whats best for YOU.

This is the WM6 forum. Try reading the posts in the Wizard board.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=284
No one is going to explain how to upgrade. There are stickies that explain how to unlock and upgrade your phone. You should try reading them.
yup you should read the how to's first, then try the roms, there are a lot of roms to choose from, and most of them are in english, happy reading
Hi there, ive looked through all the different forums and am confused! (newbie type confused :S). I have an ) O2 Mini Xda S and it is currently running WM5. If anyone can help, please can i request two ROM file downloads.
1. The original ROM file that is currently on the phone incase i flash and do not like and
2. A WM6 ROM upgrade file and if possible WM6 proffesonal.
I would really like WM6 proffesional but WM6 (the origianl one) would be brilliant. It boots up on G4 (2.xx.000x) and this is what im most confused about, wheter the upgrade is for G3 or G4. please someone help!!! Also ive heard the faria upgrade is good but not sure whether to go down that route or not.
Thanks very much in advance.

1. get the original ROM from your carrier. for instance, you can download the TMO version from their website.
2. read stickies before posting and follow this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
3. pick any of the many WM6 roms here and flash.
4. since you have a G4, make sure you read the part about G4 flashing in the above thread.
thanks for that, i have had a look on O2's site but they do not have any original ROMs or anything at all for my mini xda. I dont know why because its a popular phone as far as i am aware :S
any other places i can get it from? cheers

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.
Follow the instructions given here:

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?

I'm using Telstra plan.
Hi to everybody
i'm new of this forum and a noob too .
I've gotten a HTC Universal G3 version.
I've read a lot of threads about flashing Htc Universal but the most of them are refering to Htc Wizard.
I have a laptop with Windows Vista OS, and i would like to flash my Universal G3 version with an updated ROM, possibly a stable version of WM6.5 (or 6.1, it's the same)
Could you show me le last, simple and secure way to do this ?
I'm very confusing, so anyone can help me, do it !!!
Many thks
johnjohnmel
P.S. Does it exist an hacking hardware guide to change Wifi module from 802.11b to 802.11g ?

Welcome to the forum
By now not any wm6.5 is STABLE, and if it´s your first time flashing I would strongly recommend to install a 6.1 stable ROM, for that I can recommend Tomal 8.5 or 8.81 ROM´s, they are just great!!
Also if you can flash in XP is easier than in Vista. anyway here instructions for flashing with vista http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=313001
For learning how to, please reade the Wiki here:

Good luck and please dont forget to vote!
Hello,
Welcome to the forum,
I would strongly stick with what Orb says here and stick to 6.1. as well as 6.5 being very new, it also uses a lot of ram to run. you find yourself having to reset to reclaim used ram. To start using 6.5 you need a 128mb upgrade.
TAKE YOUR TIME, do nothing until you are SURE you know what to do!
Have fun
Jay

Just by reading these guides have become confused.
The first thing i woud like to understand is what you can see in bootloader mode:
when i put my PDA in bootloader mode i can see only a dark monitor with this 2 writtens :
upward : "serial"
bottom : "v1.00"
This is my IPL/SPL version ? So if i've understood well my PDA it's a G3 model, is it right ?
Looking at this guide
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=285435
i've understood i need to downgrade my PDA to 1.05 ROM, but mine have 1.00 ROM (look upward, refering to booloader mode), so this step will be not a downgrade for me, is it right ?
Could you help to understand this first things ?
Bye
johnjohnmel
HI
You're doing OK! it is indeed a G3 and when you plug it in to the pc's usb it will say USB instead of serial. now follow THIS to upgrade your bootloader. its off the WIKI HERE. read it, it will tell you loads. The biggest problem you will have is running Vista, I only use XP so I cant help you there.
Jay
EDIT...............just spotted THIS about Vista, hope it helps.

Hello,
I would now suggest you download a good stable rom, such as TOMALS 8.5 STANDARD build rom onto your today screen connect your pda into the USB port and then follow the instructions for flashing in vista it will then load onto your pda. Now hard reset.
thats it! You can try others later on but its best to try a good solid stable rom first. Like I said use the standard build first.

Hi, thanks a lot. Finally i solved.
It's MORE SIMPLE that it could seem.
So it's not more necessary to CID-unlock and to download UniversalRUU, becuase in the last ROM there is just inside program to upload new ROMs.
Maybe it's necessary to change WIKI instrunctions.
What do you think ?
Bye and thanks a lot again.

Only 2 things go wrong.
Indeed it seems it doesn't function at all GPRS with my Tim italian Network. I've to try UMTS with 3 italian network.
Maybe it's a RADIO Rom version problem.
What can i do to solve this issue ?
Also i can i see in my Home the tipical screens with shortcuts to applications, contacts etc.

System tray is one way to add icons to the home screen, however they only appear in a row at the bottom and it is a bit of a fiddle. you might be better off adding a third party software like mobile shell 3.0 to your rom so you can customise your PDA.

Hi!!
Just bought my first windows mobile, htc touch hd, and I want to flash WM 6.5 on it.... I have several questions:
Is it safe to do that? or should I be worried about some complications?
what kind of knowlege I should have to do that? or does it as simple as having a new windows operating system on my laptop?
where can I find a step by step clear, simple english, instructions how to do that?
Is it different from the upcoming official windows mobile 6.5? am I going to be able to download applicatons from the upcoming offical windows mobile marketplace?
Thank you
I just get the same problem. I googled this but still didn't get any answers. So where can I find a step by step clear simple english instructions how to do that? I know nothing about flashing the phone.....
You will need to find a rom specific for your phone
first find out if you have a GSM or CDMA carrier, if you try to flash a GSM rom to a CDMA phone you will brick it. (brick = bad)
then check out a rom website like for example, MightyRom
http://www.mightyrom.com/
a - wo
Hiya,
Not sure how you managed to be so confuddled!
www.mightyrom.xxx
This might be a good source but your are on the XDA devs website - which is the biggest ROM factory in the world........(dont quote that plleeze )
Doesnt make sense to come here then go somewhere else for a ROM.....in fact that is like backwards or something?!?
Check out the main forum listing and then navigate down to the bottom of the page
http://forum.xda-developers.com/index.php
on the left you will see that EVERY HTC PHONE has its own section (sorry for shout)
- Now find your blackstone (touch HD)
- Now go into the Rom section
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=453
NOW READ READ READ READ READ READ READ
and dont do anything until you are confident.
Most forums have stickies saying "flashing your first rom from nursery etc"
derpa derp?
your first windows mobile device and you already want 6.5? crazy.

Welcome to forums
Have a deep read here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Blackstone
If you follow instructions you won´t have any problem. On my opinion cooked ROM´s by our great chefs here at XDA are much much better than the official ones
Then enter to blackstone section and select your 6.5 desired ROM
Enjoy!
