Hi Guys, I own a Dopod 818Pro (G4). I have this problem now, It seems that my Prophet is running abit slow till I find it laggy. I am using the orginal ROM since day 1 I brought it. From the specification from Dopod webby, it tells me Flash ROM 128MB/SD RAM 64MB. Do I need to unlock the Flash ROM before I upgrade to the ROMs posted here. And also how do I go about it if I wanna flash a ROM to my Prophet. I read up many thread but all they say is about the ROM posted. I really hope someone can guide me into flashing a new ROM for my Prophet. Thanks a million guys.
Regards
Cal =)

Read wiki.
Choose the ROM you'd like to use and read the instructions provided in the topic regarding that specific ROM (there's no need to unlock for upgrading most roms).
Don't start a new thread, just because you're too lazy reading the existing ones. Your question has been asked about a 1000 times before. Just use the (advanced) search function..
I would recommend the latest official ROM for the Prophets which were released by Qtek. It's based on WM5 and has the version 2.20. It's stable and fast and already has lots of bugs fixed. I dont recommend a WM6 upgrade for beginners yet. Before upgrading make sure you installed Active Sync and fully charged your device. Then just proceed as the upgrade program instructs you. Always keep in mind that flashing a ROM file not ditributed by your phone provider/company may result in a guarantee loss. Also be aware that flashing sometimes might totally destroy (brick) your phone.
Good luck and a nice welcome to the forum
Hi there.
I recently bought a XDA IQ (similar to SP5) with a O2 Rom.
THe version is 2.0.11.0
Without having done anymodification, the phone was Sim-unlocked : I tried with my orange Sim card and it works.
But I had to app-unlock the phone using the registry modification method, it works as well. I had installed WM5torage without problem.
Now I want to know if I change the Rom version, will the phone still be Sim-unlocked ?
If yes, what is the more stable (official) version for it ? (same question with the WM6 Rom, will my cellphone become sim-locked after flashing ?)
I don t want to have to use Spvservice.exe cause it doesn t work with wndows vista.
Thank you for your help.
David
None of the ROMs here are "official". In terms of stability I have tried ROM from andot and jm012a9749 and found andot's rom to be more stable as most of the bugs are fixed now (they are both based on the same ROM, just two variations). And once you flash the ROM it will be sim and app unlocked.
Personally I've found that the i-mate SP5 AKU2 ROM is the most stable OFFICIAL ROM, available here: ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
Also, changing the ROM doesn't affect your SIM Lock...

Thank you for you answer.
On the I-Mate site, there is different files, what is the latest ROM ?
Thanks

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!
Chuck
@ 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...............

if you want update with official rom go to ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Smartphone/Vox/ROMs/Shipped/
or at http://shipped-roms.com/index.php?category=windows mobile&model=Vox
if custom rom look at http://forum.xda-developers.com/wiki/index.php?title=Vox_roms
Hello there.
I'm a totally new as for modifying PDAs, and I've been reading the Topaz forums, since I recently got one of those, but I find it really hard to understand the needed steps to upgrade it.
I read about how good the Nataly ROM is, but I know nothing about how to install it. My questions are:
It mentions Windows Mobile v6.5, but my PDA came with v6.1. How can I upgrade it?
What does it mean "manila"? I've seen it mentioned with different versions.
Is there a difference between Nataly's and a radio ROM? Can I use them simultaneously?
Do I need to do anything special to upgrade to these ROMs? I think my phone is SIM unlocked already.
My GSM provider is TIGO, in Colombia.
Thank you very much for your support, and I hope I don't get hated for these questions.
1. to flash a cooked rom u need to hardspl unlock which u can find here
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=520312
for more information go to topaz rom development section
2. manila is the graphical thing with the slider on the bottom
the latest manila is 2.1 and in the new official rom on htc.com
theres another version called sense and available only in cooked roms
3. about the radios: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=547276
4. there is no need to sim unlock the phone. u need to flash the hard-spl of olinex (1.83 version )
nobody gets hated for questions just for the laziness of not using the search function
here u can find everything about topaz http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=478
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.
