Hi Guys..
I have a Verizon non modded phone. I would like to upgrade WM 6.1 --> 6.5 and was wondering how to go about doing this..
The EURO HTC site has a WM 6.5 download...would that work? I head Verizon does not have a 6.5 download yet so that is why I am asking.
Your help is very much appreciated!
I think you can't download Rom from official site, you must type you IMEI and than download ROM but as I know US phones are not supported. But you can download cooked Rom from this forum. They are even beter than orginal ones.
So if I can't download from the official site and need to download a cooked rom...which one would be best and how would these cooked roms differ from the official?
The Euro site is showing the gsm ROM. It will not work with verizon. Try a cooked ROM for cdma(verizon). If you don't end up liking it try another or swap back to the oem verizon ROM. Possibilities aplenty.

Hi
The first excuseme for my bad English, I'm Spanish.
I bought an AT & T Tilt 110 in the USA and I want to know whether there was any problem when I install the official ROM HTC with WM 6.1. Can we recommend this or any other?
Thanks

Where did u get the wm 6.1 from ?

Looks like this is it...read a few posts in though. Looks like there is some stalling on the customization and any network configs you have to do.

Thats the official release. Our cooks posted their own recipe, using the official release as the base.
I wouldn't use it. Lots of issues.
And what used?
Thanks
There is nothing "OFFICIAL" about that (or any other "official" relase) YET.
I am not saying that there never will be, but the ones here that say OFFICIAL are NOT official.
If they WERE official, why would HTC or ATT or any other company make you use HardSPL? And why wouldn't they give HardSPL to you when they gave you the OFFICIAL ROM?
Can you IMAGINE the support requests with an official ROM that was missing the biggest element? The element being a way to INSTALL the ROM?
Think about it.

Hello, I have looked here for the official HTC TYTN II rom. I want the one that came with the device or the latest OFFICIAL rom (I don't think that the 6.1 verisions are official, but maybe I'm wrong). This link lists the official roms, but I am not sure which one is the original one??
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
If I flash the Australia rom, will it work still here in the US? This looks like the latest official rom, but I really want the WWE version.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=346267
Also, I have a TILT and I am going to HardSPL and SIM unlock, which one do I do first?? I had the 8525 and I remember doing the SIM/CID unlock first I think?
Do I need to use this SuperCID and Security unlock as well if all I want to do is flash new roms and SIM unlock??
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=361236
Oh, I almost forgot, why do some people post the .rar files and not the .exe, so much easier using .exe isn't it??
Thanks!!

The rom your phone came with if it is a tilt is one of the att ones on the site your first link leads to.
Hadspl and simunlock, don't matter which you do first just make sure you hardspl before trying to load a cooked rom from this site (and trust me it's worth going with a cooked rom over the att variants)
No supercid needed on the kaiser.
rar is much smaller then exe (rar is an archieve that has the files compressed)
Hello there! I just got off the phone with HTC tech support. They say they have no "official" release for WM6.1 and no date for a release either.
Also, they told me the newest "official" rom= 1.56.405.5
And radio= 1.27.12.11
Which is found here: http://rapidshare.com/files/5781641...dio_sign_22.45.88.07_1.27.12.11_Ship.rar.html
Anyone know how to get this in the .exe format?? I am a bit of a noob and I am used to using the .exe format to flash.
BTW manimore, I know what you are saying about the cooked roms, and I would definitely go with them over the AT&T crap; however, I like the look and reliability of the "official" HTC roms, like the one for the TYTN II.
Do we have any official HTC TYTN II roms besides the one above that the tech guys at HTC don't know about??
Thanks for the advice!
Manimore, I just reread your post. I was talking about official TYTN II roms, not anything for the Tilt.
What about this one?

Rogers is the only GSM carrier in Canada. However, they don't currently offer the TyTN II, last time I checked (I was at a dealer yesterday, and looked on the website as I composed this post), so I'm not sure what to make of this.
Rogers is a weird beast, in some areas they are far ahead of the competition; We have name display (like a landline, you'll see the name of the caller as well as the number, when available), unlimited incoming plans (like Europe, but without raping the person calling you), nation-wide 3G (major markets), but in other areas they are way behind the times (handset selection is pathetic at best, account termination penalties of up to $900, customer service reps are all over the map, from don't-speak-English to telepathic, etc)
So i registered my TyTn II SN on the HTC e-club expecting to see ROMs for download. It properly shows my device as registered, but there are no ROMS available for download. I contacted their e-mail support and was told that "no ROMs have been relased for the TyTN II."
How can this be? From everything I am looking at here there should be at least one 6.0 ROM and one 6.1 ROM that was released by HTC??? If not, where are all these ROMs coming from?
Did I get bad info from HTC? Did they remove all their ROMS for some reason? Please help me understand.
thx.
dear friend
i understand your confused i also got it in the begining but i understode later
all those rooms are built in something you can call it beta version of windows 6.1
this is what i know about that and maybe someone else knows better and correct me if iam wrong
best regards
They are not OFFICIAL, as many people might think. They are built by cooks around here (and other places).
Keep in mind that there are also ROMS from other countries that come available then are shared.
You may have registered to HTC e-club, however, it may not show as per your location.
As I understand, the newest rom always come with the newest device come to market, htc don't update "old" devices, even there is new version rom released from microsoft. For example, kaiser was released last year, and the newest rom in the meantime was 6.0, so the kaiser came with 6.0. Even you buy your kaiser now, and the 6.1 was released by microsoft few months ago, you won't get 6.1 in your brand new kaiser.
All these new "offical" roms are released or leaked by microsoft, for newer devices, and our cookers here cook them for our kaiser and we can have chance to try new functions in these new roms.
Thanks for the reponses.
So, If i understand correctly, no one is able to Download the "official" ROM for their device from HTC directly?
I believe I can download the AT&T Tilt ROM from AT&T, but for HTC ROM every copy that exists here is from a "dump" of someone elses or a cooked version?
To start with my device i would rather use a fresh ROM and not a cooked version. How can I easily find what is the latest "Clean" dump ROM out there?
thanks!
Actually, no one is able to go to HTC's website and download an official 6.1 ROM for their Kaiser/Tilt II as they have "officially" not released it yet.
Microsoft has only just "officially" announced WM6.1 in the last week.
I dont' necessarily mean the latest as in 6.1.... I mean are there ANY officially released HTC Roms that I can use to flash my tilt and if so...where and how can I get an "official" one. Again, by official I mean not a dump or a cook.

well, if youre saying "official" as in, HTC says, "hey everyone with an htc device thats running a rom not belonging to htc, here's an official release of our rom for your device" then no.
but, however, there are roms in these threads that were extracted from say the htc kaiser that is an offical htc rom, no att, just htc
if you want an "official" htc rom then you'll have to buy an unlocked device, instead of one from a particular carrier.
lollipops and redneck turkey gobblin,
duswdav
WHAT I WONDER is the wm6.1 suppose to have silverlight mobile and skype mobile and ie better featured but non of the leaked roms ever showed any of these features?
Well for instance, when I had my PPC6700 and there were issue with it, Sprint actually had me reload their ROM to try and troubleshoot.
If you buy an "unlocked" HTC with no carrier, then whose ROM does HTC expect you to use...the HTC rom that comes with the device, or another special ROM made available to the carrier? I suppose that if you buy an unlocked Kaiser (for $5-700) that there is nothing in the warranty saying you can't reflash it... therefore shouldn't HTC provide a copy of the ROM incase you need to flash it back to defaults?
thx

I bought a TyTn II, as well as a Wizdr before, both unlocked, and always got a CD-ROM with apps AND a restoration utility which is actualy the original ROM.
If I take a look now on the HTC e-club, my registered TyTN II has a download available, but it's from 09/2007 (and french..). So I don't even consider flashing my device with this as it would be the same as the one delivered with my phone I think.

Right Dredd..that's what I am talking about.... I would think that someone who bought an unlocked one would have a CD with the "official" ROM and that HTC would also post that on e-club for registered members (in case you lost your CD)... But they don't appear to post one for download there...
Ok - I've looked through a bunch of threads. I just want to put WM 6.1 as you get it from HTC on my Tilt.
I live in the US so I don't have access to it.
All the ROMs I see in the threads below are all customized, etc... I just want the standard WM 6.1 ROM. Where can I get instructions on how to do this?
you can dl it from:

sorry, the link doesnt work... needs ID and password....
you can find it in kaiser wiki: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=369282
you will need to unlock the CID in order to flash the HTC branded ROM

or you can wait a few days and nothrills will be releasing a wm6.1 rom. All his roms are pure htc roms except for performance tweaks everything else is as it would come from htc themself.
Really????? I didnt know that... A good news for me.. haha
Meanwhile you can try this: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=399150.
I like it... almost comparable to shogunmark's rom. You can read through the thread.. only 2 pages... maybe because of new chef, not many want to try.
I'm glad that i try... stick with it now...

You could also try the latest at&t 6.1 (almost OFFICIAL) test ROM titled ATT 19213 build with 1.65.20.29 radio. See this thread for mirrors and more...

I am using both with good results. Both are full 6.1 ROMs, are stable and contain all HTC improvements for video and general performance.
Both are very similar at their core. The at&t ROM is bloated with at&t specific features and additional junk. You can eliminate much of this from your user interface but will lose storage space.
I am running a nearly identical set of apps on both with good results.
EDIT: a newer at&t test version is now available at http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=400276
I can see that most of the advanced chefs are cooking diamond based roms for kaiser and pure kaiser ROMs is undergoing not much change ( May be the CHEFs want more challenge ;-) ). I would personally love to see a very stable and very fast Kaiser based rom. DIamond ROM in kaiser , not doubt slows the performance....

Fast and stable IMHO.
a non cooked kaiser rom like the official one having the latest build?
i dont want any extra applications like manilla etc. only an official non branded oem wwe rom with the latest build.
is that possible?
OK, because this thread is going to be closed very soon, here's my input:
it sounds like you just want a shipped ROM, which you can download here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_ROMs
Other than that, you could try a LITE ROM on this site
good luck
thanks, i know the wiki i always visit there twice a day to choose and read the threads. i have already the rom 3.28.405.0 1.65.16.25 there.
i see in the rom development page, new build roms but they are all cooked ones.
i use my phone in Turkey, so i choose the original HTC and WWE roms. will there be a problem if I choose a rom with network and for another country for example the t-mobile and NL one?
whatever thanks...
