Hey All,
I want to upgrade an old Tytn 2 with WM6 Dutch to WM6 (or above) English.
I got the radio version 1.27.12.11
I'm pretty new at upgrading a phone so i don't want to totally wreck it on the first go hehe.
Anyone who's so kind to point me to which rom, and maybe some basic instructions?
Regards,
~Ciry
there is a pointer right at the top of this forum. You just needed to take a second and read it :

Hi,
I'm confused with the mass of information and complicated procedures I found here. :?
I got a HTC Magician here in Switzerland by Orange (known as SPV M500)
Operator version is: 6.06.5.164
ROM version: 1.06.00 WWE
Radio Version: 1.05.10
Protocol version 1337.39
ExtROM version: 1.06.164 WWE
I surely would like to improve the performance and especially the internal' memory by applying some upgrade.
Could a nice person guide me toward best possible solutions, please?

Thanks; I checked this link, but except some valuable information, I found the whole thing even more tough to understand. I'm not an engineer, I'm just looking for a helping hand.
So I reiterate. Can anyone answer my question?
I'll have a go:
Upgrade your ROM. Yours is about 1.06, current is 1.12 (or 1.13? Not much differnce).
Ensure there is a language version the same as yours, and then upgrade. That's a complicated enough procedure, but follow the instructions carefully provided with the ROMs and you'll be ok.
The upgrade for more memory, is the BigStorage ROM hack. This will replace the area on your phone known as "Extended Memory", and convert it into more useful "Storage" that you can use. Basically, your phone gains 20mb of usable space. I've written an ENORMOUS post about this here (near the bottom of the screen)
To do BigStorage, you should use a tool floating around on the board that will patch ANY rom to BigStorage. That way, you can hack your own ROM for this. This is important because the first 400bytes or so of your ROM are unique to you, and you want to keep that. So I recommend:
1. Backup your PPC with Sprite backup or similar.
2. Upgrade your ROM to 1.12 (public sources or from the XDA Developers FTP site).
3. Make a backup of your ROM (optional, but advised).
4. Apply the BigStorage ROM hack.
You may be able to skip 4 if you can find the ROM you want at (2) already hacked. This is likely. But whatever you do, follow the instructions provided carefully. There are a couple of errors that are SUPPOSED to come up in the procedure. Read the instructions and you'll know what's supposed to happen.
Phew. It takes some learning, but you'll get there.

Hi Vijay,
You're great, many many thanks!! I assume I got a tough way to go. So I'll do it slowly so as to avoid mistakes.
My device' language is English, so no prob to upgrade with English. Now I guess I'll have to install manually the GPRS and WAP' parameters after upgrading, given the ROM does not come from my operator, isnt'it?
Orange M500 Upgrade
Hello. I too am thinking about upgrading my Orange M500 from 1.06.00 to the latest ROM. I have an Orange UK version of the phone. But 2 problems:
1. I have trawled all sites I can think of (including this one) and can't find an appropriate upgrade file anywhere - is anyone able to post a link?
2. I can't find anywhere that tells me what the advantages of upgrading are! Anyone fancy listing them?
Thanks!
Tom

Same here, I could not find information on what is improved (or not) with any of the existing ROM upgrades.
Surely they must be UP, but still it's strange there's no comment.
vijay555,
I am also fairly new with updating roms and such but I did manage to complete an update with the help of this amazing site and all of you guys out there. Your knowledge and advice has been wonderful and I thank all of you. Now, here is my question. I have a TMobile MDA from Germany I believe but with ROM ver 1.12.00WWE
Rom date 05/28/05
Radio ver 1.13.00
Potoc ver 1337.43
ExtRom ver 1.12.128 WWE
I have wanted to try the bigstorage rom but in reading all the posts and helpers I feel it is too much for me to copy to SD and yada yada yada. Am I understanding you correctly in assuming that in the xda FTP I would find a pre made bigstorage rom that I could upgrade onto my unit. I understand that I would probably have to re upgrade my radio unless there was a BS rom that had the latest radio in it. Would I be able to ask you that if I am right in assuming this do you know which of the roms I would use in the FTP site to give me that pre made BSrom and which "make" would or should I use(such as O2, orange) I line in Victoria, BC, Canada but I dont think that affects what "make" I should use, or does it? Sorry this is so long winded and I thank you in advance for your help.

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.
Hi Guys, I own a Dopod 818Pro (G4). I have this problem now, It seems that my Prophet is running abit slow till I find it laggy. I am using the orginal ROM since day 1 I brought it. From the specification from Dopod webby, it tells me Flash ROM 128MB/SD RAM 64MB. Do I need to unlock the Flash ROM before I upgrade to the ROMs posted here. And also how do I go about it if I wanna flash a ROM to my Prophet. I read up many thread but all they say is about the ROM posted. I really hope someone can guide me into flashing a new ROM for my Prophet. Thanks a million guys.

Cal =)

Read wiki.
Choose the ROM you'd like to use and read the instructions provided in the topic regarding that specific ROM (there's no need to unlock for upgrading most roms).
Don't start a new thread, just because you're too lazy reading the existing ones. Your question has been asked about a 1000 times before. Just use the (advanced) search function..
I would recommend the latest official ROM for the Prophets which were released by Qtek. It's based on WM5 and has the version 2.20. It's stable and fast and already has lots of bugs fixed. I dont recommend a WM6 upgrade for beginners yet. Before upgrading make sure you installed Active Sync and fully charged your device. Then just proceed as the upgrade program instructs you. Always keep in mind that flashing a ROM file not ditributed by your phone provider/company may result in a guarantee loss. Also be aware that flashing sometimes might totally destroy (brick) your phone.
Good luck and a nice welcome to the forum
Hi everybody!!
glad to be there...I bought a P4550 today (i'm happy happy happy), and want to change rom
My phone is originally sim-unlock (original HTC?) but I don't know if it's SPL-unlock...
I've tried the HardSPLv1 but stay stuck on a grey activesync icon after unplug-plug operation...not so cool...read somewhere from a guy that you can continue the processus. Right?
Some informations:
Bootloader:
KAIS130
SPL-1.56.0000
CPLD-8
Elements:
ROM version : 1.56.406.5
Date ROM : 08/30/07
Radio version : 1.27.12.17
Protocol version : 22.45.88.07W
WinXP with ActiveSync 4.5
So, do I need to HardSPL it?? or can I directly flash the Rom???
Thanks in advance for any information!!!!
again, I'm happy

HardSPL
You most certainly want to HardSPL your device. It's the best invention since sliced bread.
I suggest running HardSPL and then finding a ROM here you'd like and go to town that way. You can seriously spend weeks reading all the posts to find relevant information--use google to search these forums, it yields far better results than the built in one.
FYI on google if you sarch for "Kaiser HardSPL" you'll get results for all kinds of websites...including those that archive old postings here. A quick fix for searches if you're like me and have a Google Search bar in Firefox is to add "site:xda-developers.com" to your search (e.g. "Kaiser HardSPL site:xda-developers.com").
Check this link for more detailed searches using Google: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314616
I can almost guarantee that any question you can come up with in the first few weeks of owning/beginning to flash your device that there's no question you can ask that has not already been asked/answered (including this one I'm responding to).
Cheers,

hi everybody, i have a problem with my kaiser 8925 that after i used for 2 days ,everything was working good ,but a notice that my external memory got stoke and when i pullet out my phone not recognize any storage memory please help me and let me know what i have to do.
Thanks Quentin- for your fast reply!!
Before I posted this thread, I've readen a lot of infos and I can't find an appropriate answer.
Almost all persons who use the HardSPL have an ATT phone, or other, and have sim-lock. That's not my case.
And can't find the direction when you're stuck on a grey icon after unplug/plug. This problem happens on Vista...But I'm on WinXP...I'm confused...
Hope there's someone here who had same problem...
Thanks again for all this beautifull work on xda-dev

For Kanky1
Please, start a new thread...we don't have same troubles...
EDIT...
Welcome OliPof...
I think I was little anxious for no reason...HardSPL ran like a charm...
Sorry for this useless thread...
Hi all,
I'm a new user HTC Touch Pro (Raphael). I have Raphael only sometime, before I had E-TEN X500+ (cca year). On it, I learned, "played" with ROMs etc.
So, when I have Raphael now, it is for me new and I must begin from the start again...
I have tested Raphael functions and I want test ROM.
This is my questions:
1) How can I backup base ROM by producer? I have 1.90.401.1 ROM and it doesn't download from XDADeveloperWiki.
2) What sign "U" behind ROM's protocol number? For example: what is variance of 52.33.25.17U and 52.33.25.17?
More enquiries will be coming
Thanks and sorry for my bad english
answer
1.use the thread flashing for noobs
2.that u is the minor version of the radio
Read the XDA wiki on how to dump the ROM. This will backup the ROM on your phone.
