I was browsing this forum searching, but I can't seem to properly do it right. Could someone help suggest programs and how to do it?
Hard SPL will SIM unlock your phone in addition to allowing you to flash cooked ROMs.
There are plenty of 'how-to' posts in the upgrading forum.

I have a Qtek 9100 with wm5, when I start it up it reads:
Ipl 2.17.0001
Spl 2.17.0001
Gsm 02.07.10
Os 2.17.7.2
I would like to upgrade it to WM6 and maybe add some of the new features of the HTC touch. I love the wizard and refuse to give up the keyboard but would like to have some of the functionality of the touch. I can hack a pc just fine but have never messed around on a mobile before. I do not want to brick this thing. I have PHM registry editor installed on my wizard. I was hoping someone had a clear cut answer on how to upgrade my device to WM6 and install some cool apps along the way. I love reading the many posts on this great site, I have learned alot. If anyone can help out this newbie I would be forever grateful.

more questions
Thanks for the reply, I have determined that I have G4 unlocked model. Now the next question that I have is do I need to upgrade my existing rom before installing a WM6 rom. If not do you have any suggestions on which WM6 rom to install?
Did you mean CID Unlocked G4? If you are not sure then look for shell tool and follow some others in G4 forum.
I checked and it is CID unlocked, so my next question is which WM6 rom should I use? Does anyone know if the new "touch" applications will work on a g4 model? I have searched through the G4 postings and I have not found anything on this.
My idea

I think NBD 7.4 is the best WM6 "touched" rom...
But I don't know if it's working on G4 wiz....

G3 and G4 have nothing different apart from the boot chip. So it should work (I may be wrong but you can safely give a try).

Read the wiki
Don't remember who shared this, but I thought it would be appropriate here:
The members of this forum are advanced users, and they are expecting this from other members too. Thus if you don't want to lose your face in front of the other members, I suggest you try to solve your problems yourself first, and then search on this forum and even on the whole internet, and if then you still couldn't solve your problem, the link 'Post reply' or the link 'New thread' on this forum are there for you...So you will be sure that the problem you couldn't solve, isn't just something explained before and other members of this forum won't laugh at you...
The members with very high post count will not always be able to help you out in the best way...It is very easy to post hundreds of replies every day, but it's much harder to post so many useful replies! Sometimes you will see a thread becoming very long, thanks to some users willing to thank someone over hundreds of time. Of course, it is very polite to thank someone that helped you out, but you will see that all those thank you and other useless post are making it very hard for you and other members to find the posts that really will help you out of your little problem...So, an other suggestion for you is that you only post what really matters, that way, you will very soon be so popular in this forum and on any other forum that you might get famous by a lot of people and a lot of people might even remember you every time they are using their Pocket PC...wouldn't that be great??!
So, now you got a little introduction to this forum I'm sure you will find out your way and make it to the 'Search' button just on top of every page on this forum. Then, a new world will open for you, you will be able to find tons of information, more than ten or twenty thread are just on the subject what you where asking for and you will see that while you are searching, you will very soon get a little frustrated to find more than ten times exactly the same instructions to solve your problem. I am sure, very soon we will see some replies from you asking other members to just use that little search link before posting a question that was solved ten times before on this forum...
Have a nice day, we hope you will be able to help us out too if we got some problem that you might be able to solve!!
Hi Gang,
I did some searching and reading but I'm still missing a few crucial pieces. I need to exchange my AT&T Tilt and as such I need to remove HardSPL and reload the lastest AT&T Rom. According to the articles I read on the site, I need to:
Download the IPL/SPL based on your device and carrier
Where can I get the IPL/SPL for the AT&T Tilt?
I assume when everything is all said and done, the "Smart Mobility" followed by the "HTC Logo" startup screen will be reverted back to the AT&T and loud ass 3G rocket sounds?
Thanks for the help!
JP
ha, i just loaded the rom....removing the hardspl is possible but very tedious.
No, No its not.. heres how

Thanks Kash...doesn't look too bad..."idiot guide" lol. Sounds simple enuff.
Sablesuk, in the future, please take the time to check out the sticky and the wiki before creating a thread like this. Otherwise, you're really just belittling all the work we've done to make this site more usable.
A similar note goes for members giving direct links to the n00bs, thus supporting this behavior. We all appreciate your assistance, but it would be best if you could also direct them to the wiki or sticky. Teach a man to fish...
Thanks!
you should be able to just flash the new HTC ROM update. no muss, no fuss.
I just purchased an unlocked used HTC 8925 (AT&T tilt... i dunno if they are the same thing) (*also it comes with windows mobile 6.1) on ebay and i was wondering if there are any programs or software that I is recommended to download. I've seen HTC home somewhere but i was wondering what version i should use with WM6.1. I'm a "noob" when it comes to Windows mobile but i wanted to try it for a new experience before i was constantly an Iphone user.
Also how do you back up the current Firmware or ROM of the phone just in case i make in mistake of modding it.
(links or guides will be extremely helpful please and thank you).
Here's some helpful links from an at&t tilt owner.
I hope these links help you get started!
I'm sure you saw the kaiser section of the forums, but here's a link anyway:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=376
(FYI, The kaiser and tilt are basically the same phone with the exception of the front camera)
The first few posts in this thread are full of helpful links:

Finally here's the kaiser wiki page, there's a section specific to the tilt which you may want to look at:

Read as much as you can & enjoy your new phone!
Unlocked AT&T use
Thank you!
Also Will upgrading the Unlocked ROM lock it again? and IF so how do you unlock it once more?
No, once you install hardspl you can flash as much as you want. I never had to sim unlock since I use at&t, however as far as I know the phone can't be relocked just by flashing a new rom.
I was given a phone and I would like to upgrade it to WM6. It is a 3G but I am having problems finding the links and files needed.
Read the stickies at the top of this board. Read them ALL. Also, see the Wiki for answers to other questions...
hello i have a palm treo 750 and i think it is dead.
how reprogramming the rom of palm treo???
Read through this forum ... all your questions are answered here.
Sorry, but you either need to read through the forum ... which will give you the options that might help, or you need to give us a lot more information on what is going on with your phone.
Members of the forum are happy to help, but you need to give us something to go on to start making suggestions. 'My Treo doesn't work, please help' is not enough to get anywhere.
For example, tell us exactly what has happened to your phone. Did you try flashing something and it didn't work? Did you find it on the side of the road broken? What happened to get it to 'I think it is dead'?
What is it doing when you turn it on? Anything? Does it start to boot before freezing up? What do you see on the screen?
What ROM are you using? Did you Hard SPL the phone?
If you do a little searching around the forum, you will probably find someone that had a similar situation and what they did to fix it. Also, there are pretty clear instructions in several threads about how to flash a ROM. There are a couple of different ways to do it.
