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

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

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).

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.
Hello.I bought a vodafone v1640 (1 hour ago.....so i am new ) italian.The gui who sod it said i can't put the wm6 on it but after all i read here it is possible.
It is written : rom version 1.30.106 ita,radio version 1.14.10, ext rom version 1.30.260 ita. I wish to put wm6 English version can you recommend me something and give me some instruction please?
Thanks in advance.
I also have a v1640, otherwise known as a Universal.
You certainly can load WM6 onto it, just not an official copy as that doesn't exist, but as there's no warranty to worry about so what.
Unforunantly many of those providing WM6 ROM's have moved onto newer toys..
At the moment your best bet is Tomal 8.2 (WM6.1) with a newer version being tested.
The most important thing is to read and learn before you do anything, but you've already got this far so you're halfway there.
Read the Wiki, make sure your 1640 is unlocked (supercid) and follow the instructions to upload the latest ROM. WM6 is so much better the WM5.
Happy tapping.

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 first time poster.
I am the proud owner of a HTC touch pro 2.
Ive been reading on this site about the different roms eg Manila but goodness im so confused, im not really that tech pro. In my settings screen it says "TouchFlo 3D 2.1.38158.2", after some reading on this site it seems to me thats the manila version. is that right? if so how do i upgrade it so i can use the custom themes and skins.
Also i have windows 6.1 on my device atm. should/can i flash it? If so what is the recommended rom to put on (if thats the right way to put it)
Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard
have a deep read here to learn hot to upgrade your ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
You can upgrade to wm6.5 if you want.
I can recommend Energy ROM´s
Leo= Manila 2.5 (slower for Rhodium)
Phoenix2= Manila 2.1 (better for Rhodium)
Good luck and enjoy!
thank you so much for your reply.
I just flashed my fone with hardspl but have yet to install a rom.
should i (do i have to) update my wm6.1 to wm6.5 to use the Energyroms?
i guess another way to put that question is, is it worth installing roms on my 6.1 or is it just simply better and wiser to upgrade to 6.5 and then flash a rom?
Give it a try!
Don´t be afraid, if you follow instructions all should be ok
And if you don´t like 6.5 you can always move it back easy!
thank you so much for your replies.
I cant seem to locat.e an upgrade rom for my fone and ive searched these and other forums like crazy, ive googled everything, been on the HTC website i just cant seem to locate it.
Rom version : 1.19.707.2 (51489)
Rom Date: 06/22/09
Radio Version: 3.55.25.27
Protocol Version: 61.25t.25.19U
Thats the infromation on my fone. i put up a thread in another forum and they just showed me the google link for the search and closed the thread. The search didnt help at all. Does anyone know where i can find the update FOR THIS.
Thank you so much
Do a search for Energy ROM´s
