Hi Guys,
(I hope this is the right section)
I just bought a Diamond 2, and I'm wondering about is it possible to upgrade to WM 6.5 ?
I don't know much about how does it works - I guess I should change my device's ROM and that will reinstall? If there is one already out ofc..
Also I know probably there will be an official upgrade from HTC, but I cant wait
I'm a .NET developer, so I learn fast
Thank you
[edit] I post here, because I can't find a subforum about this device
Ok I found it. Called 'Topaz'
(I don't really want to open a new topic so please move this if its not ok here)
But the question is kinda general:
I've downloaded one of the 6.5 updates, BUT:
There is any way to backup / save my current ROM? I don't wanna overwrite it...
[edit] Well, I found this -- http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Topaz_ROMs_Shipped
The 4th from the list is the same version as mine. This means, this is the answer to my question ?

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.
Regards,
Paul L

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

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:

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!
Hey Everyone,
I suppose that my question can be solved quickly through you experts
I 've got a Kaiser with the M-Opal ROM, which has a M2D already built in - but it shows Ver.1.0XXXX. So I've seen that there are lots of newer builds available, how can I install them onto my phone?
I am asking this because in all kinds of downloadable installations there is required to uninstall all previous versions...
Greets
Matthias
This is relevant to my interests
You guys have checked the kaiser forum yh? Seen this? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=545821 or this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=519715 (6.5 i know)
Uhm... Yes I've seen these (5min ago )...
But what I wanted was to install it on my rom...
Whatever... Is there a possibility to get the main-windows system in german (and to translate some parts of the M2D?) But Windows in german would a good start...
I'm using WM for serveral years and I can remind myself that I had a kind of MUI or language pack for my WM5 which was running on my Tornado (Smartphone). Thats what I'd like to have additiona to that rom.
And also: is it possible to disable the honeycomb-menue style? I don't like it.
Thanks!
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
Hello to everyone, I am new here and I'm trying to asking someone something.
How I can update my wm6.1 to wm6.5 on htc diamond1 ?
Can someone tell me or help me with this ?
I am waiting answers.
Thanks!
no one can look here please ?
WM????
First question would be "why?" Are you in the position to upgrade to WP7 phone or go to an android? A 6.1 to 6.5.3 thread can be found at:
h t t p : / / social.msdn.microsoft. c o m /Forums/en/windowsmobiledev/thread/6188342a-6454-463d-a0d3-3a3f945c7e48
Take the spaces out when pasting. But basically you need to go to HTCs website and look for the upgrade there. You will most likely need sync and be connected to a pc to do it. Hope this helps.
ok i'll look about that. Thanks for helping ^^
Can someone please look here?
I am wondering if someone got an WM 6.5 BsB made like Freya V2 ( with the start background and the sound). Only those things if are modified will be great.
I really need BsB made like Freya V2 at startup (background+sound).
Please
Come on guys. Someone must know how to change it. The creator, the remodelers, someone must be there ... please
Head over to Diamond section, you´ll find all you need to upgrade
Wow i just needed this info!
