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

Yes you can upgrade to WM6.1 on your XDA Mini S I just did it for first time last week used below ROM.

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.

BEfore you do anything, please read:

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.

Updating my HTC Kaiser from Win 6.1 to 6.5

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

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

HTC Diamond 2 - Windows Mobile 6.5?

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 ?

Htc Touch HD Wm 6.5

Hi
i searched for hours but i didnt find something that could help me.
I have a Touch HD and i want to flash the Rom from 6.1 to 6.5, but this is my first WM Phone so i have absolutely no idea what i should do.
Could someone help me with simple steps?
thanks

Welcome at the forums!
With a quick google search, look what I found:
Custom ROM Upgrade for Dummies
Where instead of file #4 in the 'files you need to download' list, you need to download a 6.5 ROM from the 'Blackstone' forums.
Good luck!
EC

thanks

<<HERE>> is where you will get everything from Radio's to Roms. But start <<HERE>> first and get your device protected using HDSP or USPL.

and use the wiki, it has a world of information, after all, if your going to flash your HD, its wise to understand what is actually happening..... good luck.

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.
