Please check out the blackstone wiki and read before you flash so you understand the process, you dont want to turn your hd into a nice black shiney doorstop right?

HTC S710 ROM update

Hi, I'm new to updating ROM's....
I want to update my S710 from its original ROM version 1.15.405.2 to the one i found on the site: RUU_Vox_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.1_4.1.13.54_03.10.90_Ship.
My radio version is 4.1.13.37_02.83.90. Can I use this update on my phone or not? Does the radio version's need to match?
Thanks

You should have no problem using this ROM to update your S710 as I used that ROM for a short while when it first came out, I then moved oveer to Dr. Gonzo's New Guava ROM, and I am now using his WM6.1 ROM, been using it since his first test ROM came out and I am now using his latest WM6.1 v1.0a ROM.
Roland
Roland, simple question. What is the advantage of upgrading ROM's? Newer features? Faster software? Just curious I guess. I just got my 710 and wondering whats the buzz with all this rom and 6.1 stuff. Thanks!

@ Polarbair
To have the latest on your Vox offcourse.
Just like Rolandh I have updated my Vox with the WM6.1 rom from Doc. Gonzo.
And the new features and the increased stability are great.
Futher more I noticed the response of the software in some areas is better.
So all pro's and little con's.
Chong
The official HTC WM6 Update added a Network Setup Wizard and Office 6.1 to the ROM. Dr. Gonzo's WM6.1 adds Threaded SMS, New Internet Explorer Mobile with the ability to set your own Homepage, a better Home/Today Screen and some extra apps that Dr. G has added and is more responsive and a little bit more stable than WM6, and as Chongie says to have the lates version of WM on you Vox aswell.
Roland
Having only added Gregory's HTC plugin to this phone, if I wanted to add Dr. G's WM6.1, what is the proper way to do so? Is there some precautions I need to take first?
Not much precautions
Hi,
There is not much precautions to take, apart from taking backup of your contacts, that is and making sure that there is battery backup to your PC, so that the update process is not interrupted. Because once you update the ROM, all your data will be erased. Its like formatting your hard disk drive. If your vox is network locked (mine was not) then you need to unlock the phone first. If you download Dr G's latest ROM, then you will find out how to do it (there is a step by step guide that comes with it).
Honestly, if you followed the guide, there is hardly any chance of screwing up. And once you start using the 6.1 ROM, you will surely wonder how the hell could you ever have used the original ROM that came with HTC Vox
Wow, appreciate the awesome explanation! Thanks! As far as locked or unlocked, I'm assuming its unlocked. Bought it off Ebay, stuck my sim card from t-mobile in it, turned it on and worked like a charm! Have heard the term "bricking" phone, which i'm assuming means locking it up, correct? Since I wasnt the original owner, are there certain "codes" or info off the phone i need to get first? You know, like some software info or phone specific info?
Thanks again and am looking forward to upgrading this slow pig that wont update windows!
Off to back up contacts now, lol...............

[mods plz delete] WM 6.1 english for htc s710 (india) ?

hi
can anyone tell me where to get the 6.1 update for htc s710 in india? i registered with htc india but no updates show-up.
to tell the truth ... i'm not comfortable installing a 'cooked' rom posted by dr. gonzo rom coz its first time got a windows device so if i screw the flashing theres no way i can get the original software back
thanks in advance
==================================================
IRRELEVENT POST - NO OFFICIAL WM6.1 FOR VOX
Dude, don't worry the Read me that comes with the Dr.Gonzo's ROM is self explanatory... And Dear, when i tried it for first time, I screwed my VOX too...But then a little patience and VOX wiki..I am up there with my VOX on WM 6.1..ANd now you can see my Signature, i love trying beta ROMsss.. Just in case anything happen to ur phone, give me a buzz at [email protected] may be i can be of some instant help to u... And i bet my life...Senior members on this forum are always ready to help ppl like us...So go ahead and try it..
Thanks to All ppl of this wonderful forum
Loku
there is no official WM6.1 ROM update for S710 ANYWHERE.
you can try the WM6.1 ROM by Dr.Gonzo, it is very good. It does have some minor glitches but a new user like you won't notice it for a while.
and yes this forum will help you if anything goes wrong, but before you do anything please read the wiki completely and when flashing follow ALL instruction(every single line) carefully. ALL!
You would like the WM6.1 rom.
and one more thing....
download the official 1.34 ROM also(its on the FTP),
then in case you screw it up while flashing, you will have the original ROM to fall back on.
thanks lokesh, prajith.
can u give me a link tot he original HTC S710 rom (1.34) u were telling me about?
thanks guys
Upadte HTC S710 with WM 6.1
Hi all, I recently bought HTC s710 and I love there are some queries see if anyone can guide me :
1. If I flash my device with WM 6.1 can i get the original OS by hard reset?
2. If I flash the device will i lose my warranty which is one year ?
3. If i spoil my device is there a way to restore original OS so that repair people do not come to know that I have flashed my device.
Thank you
1). If you flash WM6.1 or ANY ROM, you can not restore to the original ROM by hard reset. You will need to re-flash it.
2). Technically, yes you will lose warranty, however...
3). Patched USPL can be used so you can always restore the original factory/OEM ROM and still use your warranty should you have any hardware issues.
In short, I would not hesitate to flash WM6.1 due to those questions you have. The first thing I did when I got my S710 was flash a patched SPL and unofficial ROM.
h4waii has explained it beautifully.
now please read the wiki! all roms are there.
p.s. is my signature invisible
Yes, it is to all people that are new, it's a fact, they ask before they read, I am getting sick of it. The same questions every day!
XDA should force a reply to each sticky'd Wiki before posting rights are granted, until then only read should be applied to the account. Perhaps I will bring it up with a mod.
excellent idea h4waii!
Mods please do this.
make reply to wiki compulsory before posting.
Atleast ppl will visit there once
I don't think it's that easy to integrate that into vBulletin! lol

It's possible, the C4 forums have it in place on vBulliten 3.7.1, but I am sure they require it more than XDA does.
It would be better to require a certain amount of posts before you can start a new thread. Meh. I don't think it's that much of an issue anyways. I am sure if it was, something would be in place already.
Update error
I downloaded Dr.Gonzo's Monalise v1.0 and finished all the steps in the how-to and Readme. During the final Flash.exe, it is saying ERROR [270] : UPDATE ERROR. The image file is corrupted. Please check your Update Utility.
Read the wiki, you have to flash your USPL

I did that too. Same error Update Error 270. Image file corrupted. Only the batch file executed correctly after the application unlocking.

Simply please!

Getting an Orange locked SPV M5000 tomorrow with WM5 on it. Had one of these a long, long time, about two years ago. From UK.
Confused by exactly what I have to do to unlock it and put a new WM6.1 ROM on it. Which is the best ROM to use (so many around) and what is a vanilla one against a full one?
Is unlocking as easy as it appears in the Universal article? Does it have to be unlocked to flash the ROM? I have downloaded the files in anticipation.
Sorry for such basic questions but I did all this a couple of years ago on my old one and have not been near one since!

Hi
Here you´ll find the instructions to upgrade to 6.1, if you follow instructions it´s very easy!
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Uni_ROM_Upgrade
I recommend Tomal ROM´s definetly
Don´t forget to vote!!
Downloaded that ROM. What's the difference between using an exe file rather than a rar please?

Click to collapse
exe file is an executable and rar file is compressed
If you refer to install the ROM, just follow the instructions and don´t worry about the file format
Good luck,
You can try also VNInt's ROM, its stable and faster
Thanks but where is that one please? All I can see is buckets and buckets of ROMs!!
VNInt ROM
Tomal's v.8.5 ROM
What is the difference between a Vanilla and a full Rom please?
Vanilla - lite version of the rom, no programs installed only OS
Thank you, will leave the vanilla alone then!

how to update wm5 to wm 6.1 or latest

i have O2 xda exec which has windows mobile 5
can anybody tell me the way and softwares how to update it to windows mobile 6.1 or latest.....
thx
Look up roms here
and as for the stuff to do it check the universal wiki
there r too much roms....and its confusing me
and i'm new to this forum and my pocket pc also
can u plz send me the link suitable for my pocket pc
I have O2 XDA EXEC having windows mobile 5.0 and i want to update it to 6.1 or latest......
THX
hey my friend,
A piece of advice when posting and especially as you are wanting to flash your device...... You need to read a whole heap first and understand what you are doing..... if you do not you will end up bricking ur device and end up a shiny paperweight....
Suggest you read the wiki page and as pilot says the relevant section on xda, and please dont flash if u dont understand the process because we will only see you in here asking for more help on how to unbrick yes?
Look and start here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal
If you arent prepared to read then you shouldnt flash ..
ps before my first flash i read for hours and days, making sure i understood what was happening, why it was and what to do if it went wrong. My first flash on my prophet didnt go right, but i knew after reading more why and how to correct it.
Good luck
thx dude
it helps me alot
also remember that the rom u choose is based on what you prefer. maybe pm some of the other roms users and see what they think of it
your lucky when i got my universal i never knew this site was here
[HTC UNIVERSAL - 29/05/09] "WM6.5" WWE v2.0 BETA8
where is the beta 8 ?
should i install this developed rom?
as long as your confidant to do so. what i would aslo recomend to do is also download an official rom or a 6.1 rom so if you dont like the 6.5 then u can go to a stable rom
yip, absolutely!! always have an official rom to hand..........top advice!!!
are setups of official rom of 6.1 or 6.5 available here ?
i am only finding 6.5 screen shots where is its official setup, if it is not then where is 6.1 setup
thx
THe universal is an old device and hence you wont get official 6.5 rom or even a 6.1 come to that lol. If you read the wiki page above like a said before you will find a link to all official roms
so 6.1 or 6.5 will not come to my device
it means i have to use this 5.0 version only ?
lol HTC wont bring out an official 6.1 or 6.5 rom for that device, its too old and they want people to buy new devices, hence why XDA is great!!!
You only need the official 5.0 if something goes wrong, my mate had the same device and used a m2d rom which was very nice, so flash away!!
ok thx
so it means i have to keep this wm 5 to my o2 xda exec..
lolz
lol
soz im prob not making myself clear,
Download and keep safe an offical 5.0 rom, dont use it unless flashing to cooked 6.1 goes wrong.
There are many good 6.1 roms in the forum, so go ahead and try some when you understand what you are doing
so i dont want to try it if it is not clear that 6.1 is supported ot not
i will only do if u r 100% sure that it is supported
take a look in the universal section, you'll find many 6.1 roms there my friend

Hi mate
You have one of the best HTC devices ever build!!
I can recommend you Tomal wm 6.1 8.5 or 8.1 ROM´s
Actually wm6.5 ROM´s are in beta and are not so stable, and if its your first time flashing go for 6.1
Good luck,

Noob question

Hi first time poster.
I am the proud owner of a HTC touch pro 2.
Ive been reading on this site about the different roms eg Manila but goodness im so confused, im not really that tech pro. In my settings screen it says "TouchFlo 3D 2.1.38158.2", after some reading on this site it seems to me thats the manila version. is that right? if so how do i upgrade it so i can use the custom themes and skins.
Also i have windows 6.1 on my device atm. should/can i flash it? If so what is the recommended rom to put on (if thats the right way to put it)
Thanks in advance.

Welcome aboard
have a deep read here to learn hot to upgrade your ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
You can upgrade to wm6.5 if you want.
I can recommend Energy ROM´s
Leo= Manila 2.5 (slower for Rhodium)
Phoenix2= Manila 2.1 (better for Rhodium)
Good luck and enjoy!
thank you so much for your reply.
I just flashed my fone with hardspl but have yet to install a rom.
should i (do i have to) update my wm6.1 to wm6.5 to use the Energyroms?
i guess another way to put that question is, is it worth installing roms on my 6.1 or is it just simply better and wiser to upgrade to 6.5 and then flash a rom?
Give it a try!
Don´t be afraid, if you follow instructions all should be ok
And if you don´t like 6.5 you can always move it back easy!
thank you so much for your replies.
I cant seem to locat.e an upgrade rom for my fone and ive searched these and other forums like crazy, ive googled everything, been on the HTC website i just cant seem to locate it.
Rom version : 1.19.707.2 (51489)
Rom Date: 06/22/09
Radio Version: 3.55.25.27
Protocol Version: 61.25t.25.19U
Thats the infromation on my fone. i put up a thread in another forum and they just showed me the google link for the search and closed the thread. The search didnt help at all. Does anyone know where i can find the update FOR THIS.
Thank you so much
Do a search for Energy ROM´s
