anyone can share their experience? TQ

I try many times to flah my htc under windows vista !
The process still crashing or not respond !
so i flash under windows XP. It's mor safe !
I think this problem is due to the new software of synchronisation include in windows vista.
But i haven't investigate more.

Vista
its the USB driver in Vista. It can be changed. Search my other posts.

I just tried last night to flash my device using my vista laptop and i just couldnt make it work.
The vista update utility is version 2.0x and i need a vista update utility 2.5.x or higher to update my G4 device
So I prefer flashin my device using my old Win XP. Any luck of a vista update utility version 2.5.x or higher??
I also follow the tutorial in modaco and i can tell you that If you have a G3 device using the vista update utility you wont have any problem.
Best regards.

Whats G4 etc etc ? Sorry, i quite noob in ppc..
btw, if i bricked it again? what must i do?

Did you ever tried to search for it?!

Need help with WM6.1 and my O2 XDA mini S!

Hi,
I got an O2 XDA mini S with Windows Mobile 5.0 and I want to know whether I can upgarded the OS to Windows Mobile 6.1?
This thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=391927 looks really nice and I need to know whether I can use this Windows Mobile Version for my XDA? or are there any problems with this phone types?
One more question, the author of this thread says the "Touchflo-Edition" is his favorit, can you tell my why? What are the differec between Professional- and Touchflo Edition?
Really thanks for answer
Greetz Tobi

Yes you can upgrade to WM6.1 on your XDA Mini S I just did it for first time last week used below ROM.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2132749&postcount=2
Before you do the ROM I recommend using Windows XP because VISTA doesn't have full support for ROM updates. Also use the below guide first.

Try and do a bit more searching round this forum.
Hope this helps.

Can I flash the OS directly from wm5.0 to wm6.1?

BEfore you do anything, please read:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=298613
Also go to the Wiki Section and read, read, about you device
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Wizard
Unless you want to brick it real quick

I'm reading this tutorials and I'm not sure whether I should take TNT or SNN rom, maybe there are some advantages and disadvantages?
Greetz Tobi

What is the situation of your devoce ?
How is your CID and SIM ? Locked or unlocked ? Which IPL/SPL do you have ?
Please check all this before you flash something ?

Dude I know about this facts
But when my phone is compatible to both roms, which one you would take?
Greetz Tobi

That is a personnal choice only, no one will tell you take this or that

Hm, but there are no recomments for SNN Edition ...

Why don't you try both see which one you prefer, personnally I prefer SNN Edition, it's quick and looks really great and has all functions I need.
Once You have unlocked CID and followed all the steps on the other post you can flash from one ROM to the other. I have tried about three so far.

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 ?

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.

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.

[Q] complete Guide to upgrade HTC Touch Pro-Windows 6.5

Hello!
Someone can help me to get complete Guide to upgrade HTC Touch Pro from wind6.1 to Windows 6.5?
Need all information and link for download exe.
Thanks!!!

you can go look it up in.....http://www.htc.com/us/support/touch-pro2-sprint/help/system-and-upgrade

Well, you could always flash HardSPL then flash your phone to a custom ROM. Most ROMs nowadays have WM 6.5 in 'em.
I don't think there's an official HTC ROM with WM6.5 on it.
