I was wondering if it was possible to upgrade my HTC Touch Pro 2 from windows mobile 6.1 to at least 6.5.5. If so, is this difficult to install and where can I get instructions to do so safely. I am on the Sprint network. Sprint has not given me a date where there phones will be upgraded to 6.5 and I do not want to wait as my phone crashes a lot and I constantly loose my contacts and all settings.
Thanks

Is there a way to update my touch cruise with the latest version of Windows Mobie, which was released on 1st April ?
Officially, no, not until HTC customizes WM6.1 for our devices.
Unofficially, yes, check out the Upgrades section of the Polaris forum. Many have customized it for our devices already. Just be sure to read all the directions and understand the process before doing an unofficial upgrade.
Read some threads in the, well, "Polaris Upgrading"..
Hi all. I was wondering wether this unofficial ROMs are legal or not. I mean, distributing on e-mule a customized version of Windows XP would be illegal, but with Windows Mobile it may be different. The emulator for Windows is free, for example. So?
Thank you
M$ wanted to shut down XDA-DEV... i guess this answers your question...
Ok, thank you.
By the way, I think that uncle Bill would love to shut down many other legal sites... say, for example, www.ubuntu.com, or www.apple.com...
Sure they do... but those only mess up the market, we correct their products
HTC releases WM6.1 Upgrade for Touch Cruise
After update my Touch Cruise to Windows Mobile 6.1, I have noticed that ActiveSync is always running, even after close it. I have an Outlook Exchange account configured but the sync schedule is set to manual. I’ve read some forums and some people suggested to uncheck the automatic time zone in the phone settings, but this is not working also. This don't happen with WM6, before upgrade. Someone have this problem?

ActiveSync should always be running, it is possible that it was set up not to be shown in the WM6 HTC App manager exclusion list.

There was no 6.1 upgrade released on the date quoted. Recent one floating on the first page of 'Polaris upgrading' threads. Check them and upgrade your device.
HTC has released 6.1 for the touch cruise. you can get it from there site.
has anyone got 3 (UK) to work properly on a windows mobile device/pocket pc?
(MMS don't matter - but internet does)
my tytn/hermes is broken (screen) and not worth repairing so i can't test/try.
been using a K850i since.
I want to buy the HTC Touch Diamond next month (sim-free) and have year left in my 3 contract.
if anyone could share their experiences with 3 on windows mobile i'd be grateful.
I'm using 3 on my Atom Life. Works really well, make sure to use this cab to load your settings if the device doesn't already have them built in.
thanks, there are a few cabs around but people i asked couldn't use 3.
I've not had any problems using an HTC Trinity on 3UK.
It's worked with WM5, WM6 and 6.1.
No problem with internet access or MMS.
Just don't seem to be able to get at all of 3's interactive services from WM phone. (ie video weather etc), but when you've got internet access it doesn't really matter.
Hi, I was surprised today as I found this forum (never heard about WM6.5, especially for (old) HTC Wizard). I'm curious about how do you get WM6.5? I don't think M$ give WM6.5 ROM for free.
I think all WM6.5-Roms here are Beta-versions, right? If so... is there any restrictions? Or can I use WM6.5 on my device like if it's a "fullversion" (SMS, eMail, ActiveSync, Internet...)?
I don't want to start a debate about legal-rights, just as I said I'm curious about it.

Non of the wm 6.5 rom are official and there never will be an official. M$ official release of wm 6.5 will be in october. According to M$ the WM 6.5 is only a skin change of 6.1 and will be an lite version of windows mobile 7 for low end devices and WM 7 for high end. If you want WM 6.5 you can find one in the Windows 6 section under wizard but non official
Thank you.
I have an O2 Xda Mini S, running Windows Mobile 5.
I would like to upgrade the O/S to 6.5, without disrupting my phone's ability to make calls and without deleting my address/phone# book.
As I understand it, it is technically impossible to upgrade from 5 to 6.5 directly, but it is possibly to do so incrementally, from 5 to 6.0, from 6.0 to 6.1, and finally from 6.1 to 6.5.
Could someone here guide me through how I do this? Indeed, from where do I get the upgrades? I've looked for guidance on the O2 website, and found absolutely nothing!
Alternatively, would it be possible/sensible to install a Linux-based O/S to replace Windows Mobile completely?
Hello,
I have a Htc Fuze p4600 with carrier At__ . ( You know who)
I was wondering if anyone knows how to download the lastest and greatest OS 6.5 on my devise ? Ive been to to the Htc website and my carriers website and cannot find an upgrade for it , any help would be mostly appreciated, and Is there a possibility for WM7 for this devise as thanks
Mr.nobody
Officially, Touch Pros' & Fuzes' don't support Windows Mobile 6.5, but several modern custom ROMs have flawless Windows Mobile 6.5 builds, along with extras. Just peek through the Touch Pro/Fuze ROM Development fora, you'll find several custom ROMs: TAEL, Energy, etc.
I recommend starting here --> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=448008
Agent Zach is right in that there is no carrier or OEM upgrade to 6.5 and his recommendations are spot on. As to the question about Windows Phone 7 I can guarantee you there will not be an OEM or carrier upgrade to this platform. It's further unlikely to see custom or cooked ROMs for the touch pro / fuze for WP7 as the core OS is designed around much more stringent hardware requirements that our device does not meet.
