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,

1st time to flash a ROM - Urgent Please

it is my 1st time.
My Kaiser is WM 6 with Arabic support. I have the official HTC ROM for WM 6 and 6.1 from their site.
my question is if I upgrade to 6.1 and for any reason i did not like it, is it a simple as it looks to flash it back to WM 6.
do i have to worry about these confusing issues (to me at least) like the Radio ...etc specially that i am using here the official ROM's.
thanks for replying me as soon as you can.

If the HTC roms do not contain radios then...
When you flash to WM6.1 you will need a 6.1 compatable radio. When you flash back to 6.0 you will need a 6.0 compatable radio.
Click the Kaiser radios link in my sig for versions.
EDIT:
I also suggest you read more. The Kaiser Wiki pages will tell you all this information. Consider this a hand out. Posting new threads without reading is a breach of the forum rules (Naked Chicks link in my sig).

thanks and sorry but I did read the Wiki but was not sure though so wanted to be certain, execuse me but this is my 1st time.
GO ahead and do it. You do have all the ROMS here to flash around and get the best one u want.

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.

Help 6.5 to 6.0 or 6.1

I Upgraded My Palm Treo 750v to wm6.5 i really hate this update thought i was going to be good but i want to take the phone back to 6.0 the original software
Upgrade and downgrade is the same process- u just need another ROM image.
so do we know where the rom is i cant find it
there are several roms available here, I would recommend 6.1 which is stable and fast.. 6.5 has a few bugs and needs more ram..

i hate 6.5 what you have to do for 6.5 is a hardrest and when you in the setup screen make sure the date is like what ever the date is and make sure the year is 2006
first off the version u are using has a beta timebomb in it, there is another version with the fix cooked in, its on here too. you just have to search. The 6.0 u are looking for is on here somewhere, same thing, search.

I'm also looking for a WM6 Official rom for my imate JAMin.
Not interested in the cooked roms as they are full of other junk which I don't need.
i'm using a wm6.1 rom cooked by wapvirus and works a treat, even with the latest spb mobile shell and android theme.
as far as i know, official roms give you less ram and storage space to play with and i really can't go without the finger-friendlyness of wapvirus's cooked roms.
you could try some of the ultra clean roms
EDIT: for all the new users searching for the roms and tutorials, go to the Rom Development sub-forum.
...read the sticky threads and also consider reading the Wiki Page, you will find everything you need to know and the lists of roms and the links to get them.
