Flash Cingular 750 to Vodafone 750v

Folks,
I have used this forum for awhile now, and used its's advice to modify my old O2 XDAII along with Buszdev.net. Both have been extremly helpful. I thank everyone for their advice and help. I moved up to the new Treo 750.
I was disappointed to find out that the Treo 750 for Cingular does not work with the Treo 750v Blackberry Connect software. I have seen this before in other HTC produced devices where the ROM does not match the requirments in the CAB. For instance diffrent versions of the TMOBILE wizard would work with BBC, but later versions of the Cingular 8125 would not run the software.
I would like to flash the Cingular 750 over to the Vodafone 750v. I am willing to dump the Cingular ROM in my device if folks are wanting to play with it. My question is, how do I take the dumped Vodafone 750v files on the FTP server and flash my device over. The device is unlocked...I just need to know next steps. I flashed before, but never with the raw dump. If this info is elsewhere in the forum please let me know where...I am not noob, but not an expert any help is appreciated.
Thanks,
MH

Hi M8,
Looks more that for dumping the ROM is not as simple as with the other PDA. Thgis Treo looks a bit tought.
More i have been asking on this forum for the ROM and looks like nobody is helping me. I have tried hard to look into the FTP and on the upload center but no luck at all.
So you have a working version even if blackberry is not working or things like that please consider yourself lucky. I have tried hard to flah mince in german language where i don't understand anything with no luck as looks like that the ROM files are a so precious stuff to get...
Sorry for these bad news m8.
Cheers

Hi Guys,
Because the device is new, there aren't any ROM updates out yet. Once they start to come out, we should be able to switch ROMs, but it seems clear you can't install a dumped ROM, we'll need downloaded upgrades...

WM6 and HTC Home plugin for Qtek9100

Hi,
Is there anyone who knows if it's possible to upgrade my old Qtek9100 to WM6 (english) and how (mini installations guide)?
If this is possible do anyone know if it's possible to install HTC Home Plugin a la HTC Touch on my Qtek9100?
Look forward hearing from all of you...

Sure that you can upgrade to WM6 (because I, am a newbie, did it my self). Just follow instructions:

Do EXACTLY step-by-step and it'll naturally done, not complicated at all!
About HTC Touch & Plugin, i dont know because have never used. I'll try later...

The best thing is to READ first then ask questions...
One more useless topic!
Sigh...

thanks a lot
...but where do I find the WM6 for my Qtek9100 or is it the T-Mobile 2.26 ROM (and is this in german) who is the WM6? If not do you know if I can have free WM6 for my Qtek9100?

Oh no you can't! WM6 for the Wizard would cost you at least a hundred bucks...
Well maybe I have THE solution for you:
Once again: READ! for God's sake!

Dear Quiyaro
OK I didn't know that and maybe this is why I ask. I hope not I get you to be angry because it's seems that I did that. I have been trying to find out by reading but I can't find the answers I looking for therefore I'm asking again.
In the first place I was only asking if I could upgrade my Qtek9100 from WM5 to WM6 and I got a long list of things that I should do before but nobody told me before you that I should buy a WM6 also.
Thanks in advance. I think I'll drop to upgrade my PDA because it seems to be a little bit to complicated for me but if you can help me I'll be glad anyway...

He's messing with you. Read those topics carefully especially if you have a g4. it shoud tell you how to tell. You'll figure it out and soon be a rom addict like us.

Why my HTC Tornado looks different?

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.

Can I use 6.1 ROMs on my Kaiser?

Hi,
Can anyone tell me if I can use the 6.1 ROMs on my Kaiser or am I limited to 6.0 ROMs?
I tried to download the Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade from HTC but when I enter my Serial No. it says its unsuitable for my phone.
I bought it on ebay and its full of rubbish and seems heavily tampered and has lots of querky things going on - so I thought I would just flash it with one of your ROMs. I don't want to 'brick' it if 6.1 is incompatible. I have spent days reading the (astoundingly detailed) FAQ's but, maybe 'cos I'm dumb and don't understand the difference between ROM and OS, I'm worried I will trash the phone if HTC say its incompatible.
I'm rambling now because what I don't really know is whether A ROM includes OS or sits on top of OS.
Regards,
JN

You can, of course, use 6.1 roms on your kaiser. I suggest you just go to the kaiser section, read a bit, and find yourself a nice ROM.. the kaiser section is flooded with ROMs.. and good ones

Thanks for replying. I found several posts today from people who have trouble with screen touch alignment and wondered if there was a hardware incompatibility with some Kaiser's and WM 6.1. Also, I found the answer to my question about ROMs and OS in Q1 of the Kaiser ROM Flashing FAQ which I had already read but obviously not taken in.
I shall give one a try then.
Many thanks,

I'd suggest giving a few.. until you get it right

LOL
Ok then. What are the chances of totalling the phone? Mind You, I've got to the point where if I junk it I won't care too much. So I shall just have some fun.
Thanks for the reassurance and advice.

You should be able to hard reset if everything fails...which should save you in the worst case situation... I beleive though from reading up on it if you unlock your phone with HARDSPL it is supposed to stop you from being able to brick your phone

First of all, try try a few roms without spling more than once, find the hardspl guide for kaiser in the kaiser forum and hardspl it so you can flash as many roms as you like.
afterwards, just start flashing roms. bricking a device isn't that common if you do things properly. make sure all roms you flash are meant for kaiser..

Thanks again for the help and advice, which I have followed - I've applied HARDSPL as recommended. I've only had a chance to apply one ROM so far (AtheneOS WWE) which looks fantastic IMHO but I have what seems like a radio problem as I have no sound. So I shall have a go now at different radios I suppose? That's what most of the replies to posts seem to suggest for lack of sound after flashing. Its easier than I thought this lark - I can see this may be habit forming though
Great stuff you guys .
JN

Another Happy (rom) Flasher!

lol. go ahead and enjoy flashing.

I'm lost... Can I upgrade my Magician to WM6.5?

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!

Welcome to forums
Have a deep read here:

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.
