im a newbie..
i want to know how to flash my mini.if anyone has a detailed instruction on how to do it (i've checked the wiki and its not helpful) help will be greatly appreciated.
help me with my radio, which has a current version of 1.11. and my current rom (i want to upgrade to cotulla's 6.1) his instructions are vague (but i have to admit that this guy is very talented based on the comments about his rom)
again help will be greatly appreciated thank you so much..
Don't think it's vague at all actually. Follow word for word his instructions and you shouldn't hagve any probs
Upgrade your radio version to 1.12 first.. then follow cotulla instructions... walla... then you can have WM 6.1
kudtz AND almostthere
thanks men..

No risk - no fun!
The guide is well explained, also the risks and repair.
You have to make your own decision.
No one will take responsible for what you are doing.
Do it, or leave it.

Amen to that. I remember I was so scared to flash my first windows mobile phone but if I haven't flashed and unlocked it, I would have been stuck to the same carrier.

Hi,
I am expecting my German XDA in the mail in the next few days.
I have been reading this forum for the past 2 weeks, and have tried to wade through all the great advice to educate myself on ROM upgrading issues. I would like to clarify that I understand this properly.
As I understand, in order to render my new XDA "O2-free" and customizable, not to mention english, I need to install a new ROM - probably the latest Imate ROM or maybe the PDAMobiz ROM.
Before I do this, should I Unlock the CID? From my reding, this will allow me to the install any ROM.
Is this an accurate understanding of everything involved?
Are there other better options to achieve my goal of a non-branded non-operator specific Jamin/Neo?
Is there a way to save my original German O2 ROM if it became necessary to return the unit for service?
I hope people do not object to thsi post. I know that it can be irritating when newbies post on topics which have already been discussed thoroughly. I have spent at least 2 weeks trying to educate myself on the procedures, and really would just like if some knowledgeable contributor could reassure me that I have not missed something obviuos.
Thanks,
Ronan

I'm still updating the page, but its working fine for my dutch s200 (now english dopod rom)
Hi,
I tried to follow the steps as outlined, but when I get to teh first soft reset, the device locks, and I can do nothing with it!
Please tell me how to fix it. Can I use bootloader?
How?
Thanks,
Ronan
Crisis averted!
Got into bootloader and installed the dopod rom.

Dear Ro,
have you upgrated your PDA?
Can you write your procedure?
Best regards
Daniele
please, read this topic and tell me what you think about it...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=54878
I entered bootloader then used the Dopod ROM with the modified romupdateutility.
I have not tried anything else.
Does anyone know of a solution for us SPL 2.15.0001 users? We seem to be very restricted in options.
Ro
Please, can you write the links where it is possible to download this rom and all the necessary files?

Thanks dears,
I have updated it with Dopod rom......but now....how can I update to I-mate JAMin (italian) rom?
Does someone have an Idea to how do it?
Thanks, thanks, thanks
Daniele
Yes, you have to go to ftp.clubimate.com there you can find the JAMin ROM's and also you can choose the language you want.
As you know, first, you must CID unlock, then you can download your favorite ROM. Tell us your opinon after install it.

Wow! I hope this is a gag post, since coming from someone with over 200 posts I would hope you would have spent at least a few minutes reading.
If this is indeed real then I will say the following
1. GO to the G4 forum
2. Read how to unlock your G4. I have a G3 so I have paid not attention to all that hoopla.
3. Read how to install the ROM in Faria's rather long post about it.
4. Enjoy!
I tried to install on my g4, which is CIDLocked, it went through the install but didnt install the OS, the only thing that sucesfully installed was the extended rom. I then used shelltool to flash the OS, and that worked fine.
You need to read.
Great ! I will read.....Thnks for your time.
do you have a wizard or tytn? just make sure you arent flashing this on your tytn, it wont work...reason im saying this, is because you have TytN written on your sig.
I have a tytn ,
But i want to upgrade a wizard.
Thnks for your concern.

Use the ShellTool:

All the instructions you need are here.
Or you would have to pay to have it CID unlocked (G4). Where, I don't know but supposedly people have paid for this service.

Uh technically, the tytn is the upgrade to the Wizard...
You have a faster processor, and the capability of 3G HSDPA/UTMS data connections.
I think that currently the Wizard has better custom ROM support, although apparently Faria is moving to the Tytn so that might change (and Kyphur has been doing some good work with XDA-Live) but other than that, if I had a money tree I probably would have moved to a 8525 (Cingular Tytn).
Why are you going the opposite way? I am just curious, not trying to bash or anything...

C'mon man, this is not a "feed me for free" community. It's a developers forum. It really doesn't sound to me that you are here to develop something.
Start reading and stop asking silly questions or i will have to take charges.
Just so that you don't think I am truly a bad person :
Connect the PDA to the PC using the USB cable
On your PC start the Rom Update Utility(aka. RUU)
Read and follow stepps and try not to start any programs while the RUU is updating your rom and you'll be fine.
learning?
ok so bear with me... i thoroughly read equinoxe's tut, and was wondering; do flash the t-mo oem rom, than follow the tutorial to step up to tnt 5 pro?

here u said, ur a complete noob and u dont know how to flash,
Than how come u already got faria crossbow on ur wizard ?
well, either ur kidding or u bought it just now with faria crossbow already installed ???
i bought it like that
OK , if u r on a CID LOCKED G4 u need to reinstall the OEM rom then install shell tool or SoftSPL and install the TNT rom using shell tool / SoftSPL
shell tool

B,R
i'm learning
i have gotten as far as wizard love rom, and i've hard spl'd but shelltool doesn't seem to like my device... sometimes it freezes completely, and if it doesn't freeze it wont boot past the ffx looking screen. i've also tried the custom ruu i found in one of the tutorials.
flash back
at first you must flash back to an original rom. you can download it from the site from your provider. than you can start the shelltool.
remember that the screen from your wizard must be completly white bevor you can continue.
good luck
i've successfullly flashed tnt 5 pro... thanx to all who pointed me in the right direction...

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

Hello,
I have recently bought a AT&T Tilt, and would like to flash to the current Offcial HTC WM 6.1 ROM.
I have done alot of reading in the wiki here and various FAQ threads and what not. But i am still a bit confused with a few things.
I have read the ROM Flashing faq and Intro here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=356895
And i understand all that.
I also undestand that i need the Key board fix from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=334911
But thats not hard.
I went here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
I checked my device and the rom currently on it is the AT&T WM6.0 1.57.502.2 Original Shiped Rom.
I figured, being in Australia, i would need rom that had WWE as the country? So i downloaded the "RUU_Kaiser_HTC_WWE_3.28.405.0_radio_sign_25.83.40.02_1.65.16.25_Ship" rom. Is this an appropriete ROM for what i want?
BUT Its all this stuff about SPL's and what not that is confusing me.
My Tilt is SIM unlocked because i am using it on the Telstra network here in Australia. But im not sure if i have to change SPL's or not and if so, which spl i need and how to change it?
It would be greatly appreciated if someone was able to help me understand this SPL bussiness, because i really dont want to dive straight in a risk my device. I have done a fair bit of reading and i'm a fairly competent computer user so it won't take me long to learn.
Thanks in advance,
eMiller
you have to CID unlock it. this involves flashing the device with HardSPL then running a unlocker program. (this is what i know from Hermes, so i don't know if it is exactly the same on Tilt). It breaks the warranty though, so think first, then jump
by the way, you should try a cooked rom. in my experience, HTC roms are not that good, except for getting a stable radio. get the radio, then get a new OS rom, like hang.tuah or something.

Try this one:

Look for the Zip file at the very bottom of the screen this hard spl will let you flash any rom (follow the instructions the spl gives you exactly and dont get nervous if it appears stiuck for a bit), just make sure you know which ROM you really want to flash at the end
.
Again same stuff.
Guys, when you gonna learn to read everything which is realted to your device when you want to do something?
Everything is in Wiki, everything you need is posted in ROM threads.
Come on GUYS!
read the f**** wiki. you need hardspl. its not that hard to figure out if your not an imbisel
@joel2009: That is a little harsh. Also, if you're going to call someone an imbecile, you should probably spell it right.
@eMiller12 (fellow noob): I don't know if I would bother with the HTC ROM, I just flashed it and I am finding a few really annoying bugs... Read Jocky's STICKY post about the HardSPLs to learn how to flash one. It really is quite simple--and it's unlikely that you're going to brick your device, so no worries.
Hey FireMedic, thanks for understanding.
I have read through the Wiki a fair bit, i was just unsure which versions of hardSPL etc where best for the [email protected] Tilt inparicular. But i will just use this one that vorostatz recomended if that is the best one for the tilt.

We are not all senior members. I can fully understand the guys wish not to turn his expensive device into a paperweight. Ease up eh?
search forums using google (at top right)
yeah, exactly... I was pretty scared to hardspl when I first started.
Hardspl 3.29 seems to be the best one, check my signature after you've read the hardspl sticky.
From what I understand, a rom flash might try to write a different spl which is obviously bad. hardspl prevents this.
If you ever need to, you can undo it. Kyphur explains in the hardspl sticky how to change them, by running a program named jumpspl 1.56 (on your device) with your sim and sd cards out and then flashing the spl normally.
Just make sure you follow directions for your device and try different roms.
Good luck and feel free to ask questions, even if some of the people here have heard them way too often.

Actually the WWE (World Wide English) one seems to be used more in Europe and this side of the world. For down-under, they use SEA South East Asia versions. There are issues with ROM compatibility in Australia specifically (at least in the WM 6.0 days) so if you want to know the best official WM 6.0 and 6.1 ROMs, short of searching for what setups Australian xda-dev forum members are using, you could look at the devices on sale in the shops. If you're wanting WM 6.1 just to have the latest and greatest, think again and have a look at the Windows Mobile 6 vs. Windows Mobile 6.1 thread.
***Edit*** Also note that there are two Australian specific ROMs in the WM 6.0 section of the Kaiser HTC ROM wiki
