Updating my HTC Kaiser from Win 6.1 to 6.5 - General Questions and Answers

Sorry all but....
I am simply trying to find out how to flash my HTC TYTN II from Windows Mobile 6.1 to 6.5. The only thing I have sucessfully managed to do so far was to re-flash the orginal ROM the phone shipped with from the HTC web site. Is it a problem with my phone or is the HTC ROM update program user friendly in some way (looks identical!?) that no others here would seem not to be? I have read no end of programs that seem to need to be used or installed on the PC and\or phone but no clear set of end to end instructions when using the images from here!? I have tried 4 or 5 different ones and all lose connectivity as soon as the program starts to try and flash my phone. Fortunately pulling the battery and powering back up restores normal functionality. This leads to my final question please. Do HTC write user friendly ROM update software for their devices that work without anything else needed where no else seems to or am I missing something? If nothing else assuming I need to this manually could someone please point me to where I can finda full set of instructions please?
What other than updates that simply seem no to work on my phone am I missing soemthing. I am even more seriously considering the Nokia N97 now as Symbian updates are simple to apply and work out the box! Not like these nightmares it would seem!
Many thanks in advance.

Welcome to the forum
Have a read here, I´m sure it will help you

Good luck,

WM 6.5 has been announced but not officially released, so there is no HTC update. I don't know what you have been trying to download.
The only 6.5 roms available are cooked roms derived from leaked betas of WM 6.5 or roms derived from M$ development tools packages. So if you want an HTC/M$ 6.5 rom, you are out of luck, because it does not exist.
If you want to " unlock your phone and flash one of the many great custom 6.5 roms, then start here

[mods plz delete] WM 6.1 english for htc s710 (india) ?

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

how to update wm5 to wm 6.1 or latest

i have O2 xda exec which has windows mobile 5
can anybody tell me the way and softwares how to update it to windows mobile 6.1 or latest.....
thx
Look up roms here
and as for the stuff to do it check the universal wiki
there r too much roms....and its confusing me
and i'm new to this forum and my pocket pc also
can u plz send me the link suitable for my pocket pc
I have O2 XDA EXEC having windows mobile 5.0 and i want to update it to 6.1 or latest......
THX
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,

need help reinstall sync on WM2003se

Hi guys,
anyone know how to reinstall sync on WM2003se,if there is any cab file plz give me link.
or suggest me how to do that!
thx in advance.
It would help a lot to know what device you have
Go to the Wiki for further info
Good luck,
2003se?? omg, surely theres a later rom (cooked) than that, even my prophet (RIP) could run 6.1 and was an amazing transformation
Could be an Alpine, there's no WM5 or WM6 for those and they are stil perfectly good PPCs. Think i posted a link to a ROM for one in the Alpine section somewhere.
If it is your Telco's or device's stock ROM, a hard reset should put it all back to its out-of-the-box condition. Save your contacts etc., or let ActiveSync restore it all later, if they are synced to your PC.
i have samsung i750 (WM2003se os)
even i hard reset many times i m still facing notification error on device''cannot execute repllog.exe''
i tried everything to fix this problem.

This forum is specifically for devices produced by HTC. You will need to search and see if there is similar support for Samsung based devices. The link i referred to is for HTC Alpines only.

Just bought my first windows mobile

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!

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.
