Hi Mates!! hehehe.
First, let-me thank you all for all the knowledge you share around here.
Its impressive, since the first moment I bought my (used) prophet (Imate JAMin) I spent some time reading everything here.
Well, let stop chating...
My prophet came in Portugal Portuguese, and I would like to change it to English. Since I´ll have to make everything, I´m thinking in upgrade it to WM6 or 6.1 (I´m not sure of cons and pros...I accept suggestions )
It is possible to upgrade the ROM in a pc runing windows vista??
The softwares required to do all the trick works at Vista?? (Ultimate by the way, if it changes anything)
Thank you all.
Bye.

HAHA! Finaly someone from Brasil.

Do you know the Version of your Prophet? G3 or G4? If not you may look in some foruns how to find out this info.
I have a Prophet G4, also used, from Spain and I setuped the following ROM and Window sMobile 6 Version:
- ROM update - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=405384
- Windows Mobile 6 - Prophet_S4V.19701.01_F - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=389982 (download the Full Version)
If any download link doesn't work, please let me know.
Boa Sorte!

Ok! So Max helped me a lot with the noob questions (avoiding me to fill the forum with dumb questions...)
But theres no perspective of been possible to upgrade through vista?
I´ll have to borrow my borther´s computer to do it...

Virtual PC
Ok!
Let´s make a "Live" step by step.
I´m now, officialy trying to upgrade my prophet.
1st Try:
I´m using a XP pc, and tried to upgrade to WM6.
Probably, I messed up forgetting to do the Hardspl.
I thought the "upgrade utility" allready did that...
So i Got
THREE COLOR SCREEN!
After a few seconds of "OH MY GOD! I JUST F***ED IT..."
I went lunch... sad (screew all, later I solve it..)
I download NVID_RUU and restored it perfectly, and greater...
At least, now a have a Prophet that speaks english!!!
The EU-Portuguese didn´t even had writing recognition...
Well, now a have again, my fullyworking Prophet, lets go to the second round.
Upgrading to WM6!!!
hehehehe
Bye, I´ll keep you all update hehehe
Magliano
Yeah!!! I did it...
Well, even having read the tutorial, many times I forgot to run the hardspl thing.
I noticed something weird, cause the tutorial said "the progress bar appeared only at the computer".
After restoring my prophet. I runned the hardspl, just 3 minutes and went fine.
So, I runned the upgrade tool, and again all went smooth...
Now I have a fully working Prophet running WM6.
Let me ask you something.
Did you notice any king of Advantage in using WM6.1?
The phone is too slow?
I´m thinking if i should update to 6.1. Seems that WM6 is good enough, but, if i had any advantages...
Well, thank you all!
Magliano
i have a prblem upgrading to WM6.1 in vista, is it really imposible upgrading ROM in vista?
i have already download and install windows mobile device centre (microsoft says that this software work as well as active sync in win XP) and i already syncronise my prophet to my PC.
when i tried to upgrade the ROM there always an error occur.it says connection problem.
anybody can hel me please.....
no one can help me? please...
Do this
Install Windows xp and try again, on my vista PC i never managed to upgrade my prophet on xp it always works.

But i haven't investigate more.

I just tried last night to flash my device using my vista laptop and i just couldnt make it work.
The vista update utility is version 2.0x and i need a vista update utility 2.5.x or higher to update my G4 device
So I prefer flashin my device using my old Win XP. Any luck of a vista update utility version 2.5.x or higher??
I also follow the tutorial in modaco and i can tell you that If you have a G3 device using the vista update utility you wont have any problem.
Best regards.
Whats G4 etc etc ? Sorry, i quite noob in ppc..
btw, if i bricked it again? what must i do?
Did you ever tried to search for it?!

btw, i using Dopod 900, so, if i want to flash the darkforce rom into it, it is possible, right?
It sure is... I've moved from MS to a laptop with a fruit on it... So now I have to figure a whole new thing out!
what is the latest rom for teh sda/tornado/etc... my wm6 does not work too well and would want wm5 that is stable fast and can do anything... no need for mods to make it work right...

Thanks for this! I need to downgrade back to WM5 as well
That's too bad WM6 doesn't work well. I've been tempted to upgrade my SDA, I guess I'd better not.

I disagree -- WM6 does work well on the SDA. Using "Karhoe's Step-by-step pictorial guide to upgrade to Windows Mobile 6" referenced in this thread, I was very successful upgrading my SDA from WM5 to WM6. I've got everything I've tried so far working so I'm a happy camper!!!
I agree, I also have an SDA, and while I've had to play around with a few things to get it just right, I'm in a nice happy place. If you want a rom that's got most of the knicks worked out, try the Perfect English Edition Rom here.
Hi there,
I downloaded the file, but bevor I update my german SDA (with WM2003se) I want to ask if I can switch the language to german? Is this possible, and is this version (I downloaded) with Windows Mobile 5 ?
Tahnks for answers!

don't ever bother to upgrade because your device is a typhoon/feeler/amadeus variant which is running wm2003se. this ROM is for tornado variants only which is running wm5. however you can still upgrade it to wm5 or wm6. read here.
Thanks, but if read over 12 pages in this forum, but there are no instructions how to upgrade to wm5 could you send me a link (PM) ?
Thanks

Perhaps most things work well, but there is a post by Karhoe about WiFi not working. I use WiFi more than anything else. I can tolerate some bugs, but any that causes problems with WiFi will probably cause me a lot of grief.
I will probably try WM6 soon anyway. Grief or not, I can't help but upgrade to the newest version of everything even if it causes more problems than it solves.

Hi everybody, i have HTC prophet (Orange M600), turning with WM5. Can some one help me and telle me how to upgrade into WinCe 06, French edition? Thanks again.
Simple first download one of these roms: gollum tf2dopera, manila, diamond rom, pdaviet. Then do hard spl on the device, after doing this, run the update utility g3 or g4, first find what type is your device, after the process is complete 100% if all goes well the device will reeboot, (it maybe take more than 1 minute), and the new operating system will start to run, any questions feel free to do so.

Howsit peeps!
I wanna ask someone to guide me trough to upgrade my Samsung i600 to WM 6.1. (I sooo badly wanna do it!)
I upgraded a few ROM of different devices without any problems.
When i tried Nokser's first i600 release, i bricked my phone. I dunno what happened, but there was no radio. I gave it into a repair centre, and they had to replace PCB......... thats why im sceptical.
This is what i have:
Samsung i600 Stock WM6.0 ROM
PDA version:
i600UJCGJ3
Phone version
i600UJCGJ3
Eboot:
i600UJCGJ3
Windows Mobile 6 Standard:
CE OS 5.2.1437 (Build 17944.0.3.1)
Can someone please guide me here, if all this makes sence?
Thank you and its appreciated :-D
First:
Update I600 to WM6 and next update to my WM6.1

Hi there Nokser, my phone has WM6 on it already?
The last time i tried to flash your ROM, it would not boot past the "Ultra messaging" screen, and was stuck there.....
I tried the other way mentioned in that thread where i had to add the XXGG2 phone and boot thing, thats where my radio died.......
Can anyone comment on this?
(Heheheh, i dont wanna brick my device again..............lol)
just keep the stock 6.0. I upgraded a few times to 6.1 but it was too buggy and I really liked the card wheel.

I wonder why the first upgrade did not work properly.....i did everything as said, and the phone then didt want to pass the "Ultra messaging" screen......
But if so, i will rather keep stock WM6.0, i hoe someone can point me into the right direction....

Hi to everybody

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

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:

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 ?

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.
