Dear everyone,
I have a i780 samsung with wm6.1 professional. I will try to upgrade it to 6.5 However i would feel much better if i could back up (have a clone) current wm6.1 before I start to upgrade to 6.5. This is just in case 6.5 doesnt work or something goes wrong...
Can anyone suggest how to do that: back up operating system so that I can at later time bring it back?
Please note that Im a beginner...
Thank you all.
Cheers,
thelooti

Hi, I am new here and to windows mobile. I just purchased a HTC Tornado and I am looking for a thread that tells me how to upgrade it from WM5 to WM6. The problem is, when I search for HTC Tornado all the threads show a different Tornado phone then what I have. I have the HTC Tornado from Tmobile. Would I upgrade it the same way you upgrade the Tornado I keep seeing in this section?? Do I have a older model or something? Any help would be greatly appreciated! I attached a picture of the Torando that I have.
Thanks
You have a regular Tornado, simply the music edition. It's identical to mine and you can use without problem any of the WM6 that are available here
The insides are the same as the tornado, T-Mobile just puts their case on it. Many companies do the same.
I have the exact same version. Also called SP5m for the music edition. Be *very* careful to burn only those ROMS made for the Tornado. HTC Faraday for example looks very similar and many people have "bricked" their phone (made it totally useless) by installing that ROM.
Good luck.
Thanks for the help guys.. Anyone know where I can view a help section for newbs? I take it ROMS are programs?? And when you say my Tornado is the music edition, the other tornado can't play music? Can I update from WM5 right to WM6?
Thanks
It is the same HTC Tornado as any other. It has the exact same specs and features. The only differenece is the case. You can use any ROM for HTC Tornado.
other tornado don't have special buttons(play, next, previous), but they play music just the same as your SP5m does. ROMs are programs to upgrade your OS(operating system), it's like changing the PC OS from XP to Vista having a special software to help you do that more easily, there is no forum/section for newbs, as an advice, read all FAQs and other instructions here in Tornado section, and when you think you are ready - upgrade you WM5 to WM6, but if you aren't sure in smth better ask here before you make a step in nowhere..
good luck
Is there any big advantages to upgrade WM5 to WM6? Hard to do for a newb?
WM6 is lot better than WM5. I like it lot more. And it is not hard to upgrade to WM6. Basically you just need to superCID your phone, format BINFS and run the ROM Update Utility. Read this for more info: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=324557
Thanks for the help. My phone should be here anyday now. Can't wait to mess around with it Is there anywhere anyone knows of where I can get newbie info on all the terms such as SuperCID, BINFS etc..
try the wiki. Look at the links at the top of the forums.
I was wondering, which edition of Windows Mobile could i use for this phone:TV966
I know, you will probably say this phone doesn't support Windows Mobile, but i contacted the supplier and he told me that the phone itself isn't loaded with Windows Mobile, but it can and does support it. Which version could i use for this phone?
I hope this is the right forum for the question. Thanks in advance!
Since this phone has a touch screen WM pro will be the version to use.
On how to put it on this phone, the easy way would be... Who am i kidding, there is no easy way to put WM on this, unless you port WM from scratch to this
So it isn't possible to load this phone with WM?
As this is an HTC ONLY FORUM I don´t believe you´ll find too much info for your device
Anyway good luck,
Is there a possibility to upgrade this phone when 6.5 comes?

Is it Possible - Yes, provided Eten release a WM 6.5 Rom Upgrade or Some Enterprising Soul makes a WM 6.5 Rom
have a look here http://eten-users.eu/index.php?act=idx
I've been trying to work out whether I can (or not) upgrade my Magician (iMate Jam) to WM6.5, but found out 1) that search is (semi?)broken, and 2) that you guys use a hell of a lot of lingo that I don't understand.... So please, can someone tell me whether I can upgrade a Magician model to WM6.5, and if so, could you please point me to relevant tutorials/downloads? Hopefully I'd be able to understand them, it's not like I'm afraid to tinker.
TIA!

Good luck,
Ok, it says I can do WM6.1 . It doesn't talk about 6.5 though. Any advice there? Or is it just too old? It IS my brother's old one.
If you cook your own ROM you can.

All is matter of reading and searching
have a look on your device section on the forum, perhaps someoene already have a 6.5 ROM
Here , R1 is 6.5. But it is for 128 machines only. To put a 6.5 on a 64 machine would leave so little ram, the phone would be unusable.

I have an HTC touch one of the originals. 128MB ram. This phone is from alltel before they were bought. Anyways I have a few questions. First is, is there an android software to replace the windows mobile software? If not, is there something I can or some sort of OS to replace the windows mobile? Third, is there anyway that I can download windows mobile software if the new software is not to my liking? I know I am asking alot, but i am new to "cracking" a phone if you will and I am trying to learn. I am trying to rid my life of windows as much as possible. Any help is much appreciated. I thank anyone that can and is willing to help.
Welcome aboard,
I don´t think it´s possible to install Android, but you can upgrade your WM version to the newest 6.5 or 6.5.1 and install many apps.
Instructions here:

Also you can visit marketplace section and perhaps do a trade for an Android device.
Good luck,
