Cant find the correct Forum - General Questions and Answers

Hi there,
i just got a HTC TyTN HERM100 and i am now looking how i can manage to upgrade it to WM6 (or 6.5, if possible).
Ive googled around and searched the forum, but all links i found were dead. Where can i post my questions about this topic here on xda developers?
What i am looking for is:
A FAQ, that tells me what all the Stuff like SPL, etc means
A Guide how to upgrade
A Guide on understanding the whole process
A Guide, that tells me what a HardSPL is and how i can do it if i want to.
Thanks for your Help

1. You don't really need to know, and has been answered many times before
2. Download ROM of your choice, extract everything, run the .exe (with phone connected) and wait. First you have to have hspl installed, but you install that the same way
3. Who needs to understand things if they work?

Brainless & Confused

Sorry guys & gals. New to this but cannot get a handle on the right thing to do. Can anybody help? Yes have read the basics but its not basic to me I am afraid.
I have got an HTC TYTNII from Orange. Need to unlock the sim card lock. Then would like to clear out all the Orange rubbish with a rom flash I think its called (havent got all the words right just yet). However as I paid a few quid forthe phone do not really wish to stew it!! If you know what I mean Harry! Cannot find hardspl etc on so on have ativesync fitted and running. All help greatly appreciated.
This webpage has a ton of files that have been extremely helpful to me so far...

dont really know how to help
but
if you want to use hardspl is on the sticky thread
activesync can be downloaded from ms depending on the os you are using.
if you want more help tell me what you need and i will guide you
satiros
Lots of reading
I suggest you do lots more reading.
However, as a starter, go to :
http://www.imei-check.co.uk/kaiser-unlock.php
Pay for the unlocking service.
Then, and only then, install HardSPL
Following that, you can install any ROM you like (for Kaiser / TYTN II)
If you install a ROM based on Windows Mobile 6.1, chances are you will have to install a new Radio coding too. You should install the one for UK Vodaphone on :
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Kaiser_Radio
Don't worry, it works on Orange, I have it on mine.
I recommend the Alex ROM even though it is still a Beta version, it is very good.
After you install the ROM and done a hard reset (keep both soft buttons pressed down whilst pressing the reset button with your stylus) install the radio, then do another hard reset.
Bingo, it's like a different phone.
Thanks for the info have carried out the first bit awaiting reply. Where can I download HardSPL please? Having looked at your recommended ROMs Which one?.. wow some cooking I can see I will be Flashing all day!!

if you cannot look & find it right there in one of the sticky threads of this forum ... I'd suggest you do not attempt any flashing to your device !!!
as some of those stickies contained mandatory informations that you need to READ THOROUGHLY !!!

Impossible to install the HardSPL on my Tilt!!!

Hello to all,
I'm new on this forum and let me thank everyone !!!
I've an AT&T Tilt 8925.
First of all I tried both the ways suggested in the threads to install the hardSPL but I've always the same problem:
I've no problem to install on my device the JumpSPL1.56-KAIS.exe (or the 1.93) but when I launch the KaiserCustomRUU.exe I follow the instructions on my pc and after the program has detected my rom version (1.57) and
has started the installation of the HardSPL (at least it seems) the activesync connection disappears (it becames grey) and the RUU shows an "error" and suggests me how to restore my device leaving the battery etc. (but to restore everything it's enough a just soft reset)
Please can you help me???
Alf

No need to apologize. The one in which you got the hardspl files.
Okay, I'm gonna answer this because it's buried in the HardSPL thread & hard to find since it was answered once about a month ago by me. Diconnect your device, do NOT reset. Run thru the recovery or close out the HardSPL flash.(You are using Flash HardSPL w/ the RUU, right?) Reconnect your device & run the utility again.
If this doesn't work it's because I'm partially guessing. You've not provided nearly enough information. I need to know what SPL version your device currently has, also if you are running a firewall & which one, also if you use any McCafee products.

Need help (Rom flashing stuck)

Hi I'm not new to PDA but i'm new to flashing and roms and stuff.
I have a HTC tytn 2 whit an english (UK) rom on it (no brand the real one from HTC itself). I want to have an dutch rom after some browsing and a bit of reading i stumble upon some things that would be great if it worked. But i'm actully a little to scared to try stuff (600 € is not a toy to play with and you need to be sure doing stuff right). So what i know so far is that i need a NL rom i have chosen this one NoThrills_WM61_NLD_V3 i dont like the branded things so NO thrills. So then i read that i need to HardSPL the thing. So i run it, guess what white screen, no problem as i've read further i need to use the jumpspl instead so i run it and the i get the Tri-color. Now what i don't know is what i need to do next. Cause in the other tutorial they use this program to run the "PDA Phone ROM Update Utility" whit the exe file. I'm stuck here. What do i need to do now to get the rom onto the device or do i need to do it another way?
Thanks in advance.

No expert here - the WIKI is your friend.
The jumpspl is there only to get you past the white screen. You STILL need to HARDSPL your phone or you will brick it.
The white screen problem only adds another step to what you need to do.
You really need to go and read and re-read until you are sure of what you are doing or you will need GSLEON3.
So - an overview of what you need to do:
1. get past the white screen - (using jumpspl) and then put HARDSPL on your phone - DO NOT PROCEED until you can see either OLIPOF or JOCKY on your boot screen.
2. once you have hardspl installed you are going to want to flash your phone - frequently a radio comes with the flash - other times it does not and you will have to pick a radio to flash.
Trust me this is worth it in the long run - but it will raise your blood pressure - no go get your asbestos suit on and read!

waiting for a mod to close this thread as it is redundant.
if u read the jumpspl thread it clearly tells u what to do next.
Redundant thread.
Please read the WIKI and _Alex_ Sticky. It has all the information that you need.
Looks like the post in this thread alone should answer your question.

new user needs help

I've got a o2 xda neo..........
i don't know anything related to upgradation (not even basics)....................
i want to upgrade my device from wm5 to wm6 ..........
can somebody help me how to upgrade..............
plz suggest me the simplest way including the basics for beginner.............
thnx..............................................
The simplest way is read the treads or the wiki. The hardest way is to send the prophet and someone flashed it for you.
You can start here. Make sure you read up plenty....that's the best way to get familiar with all the stuff around your phone.
Follow these instructions step by step:
1. Read the upgrade guide by Animelover carefully.
Current upgrade guide for the most ROMs
2. After reading and understanding it carefully, you should ponder over this thread by dioxda2:
FLASHING TOOL For all nk.nbf (WM6.1), 3 color bootup? SOLUTIONS read post 1.........
3. Download LazyTool and upgrade, it includes CloudFa's ROM.
4. Here is my favourite ROM, you may try it out:
Prophet ROM CE OS 5.2.19974 M2D (Build 19974.1.2.8 PV )
Im pretty sure youll have no problem after following the above instructions.

Htc herald /p4350 rom

Hi!
I am new to this, can someone help me how to update HTC P4350(HERALD)? And from where I can download the files for updating it.. Please help
Hi, I'm also kinda new to this, but I'll try to help you.
Connect your herald to your computer and open ActiveSync, then run the program and follow the instructions
Download this file :

Sorry for my bad english.
One good way is looking at the Open Touch 6.5 thread. The first post shows basically all the info you need in order to "mod" your Wing/Herald. Plus, in my opinion, Open touch 6.5 with no spb is the best ROM and the one I'm using now until ivan makes his amazing awesome ROM .
And as for programs look for s2u2 (Slide to unlock 2) and s2v (Slide to View) .
just upgrated!
Look here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1961488&postcount=123
it is very simple to upgrade. Follow the instructions.
I've used wm6.1 - CE 5.2.19209 (Build 19209.ASerg)
I had wm5 before with glitches and sticking.
It's a big difference! Very good assembly.You can try it.

1. This post is in the wrong forum. It is not a development related thread.
2. You hijacked a thread. Please always start a new thread or find one that deals with the issues you're having.
3. The answers have been already discussed many times. If you follow the guides of ANY ROM, they refer to HardSPL. Search for "Herald HardSPL" to find out how to HardSPL your phone (MAKE SURE your Herald has a SPL at least at 4.0 if you do.)
I'm closing this thread now since it's old.
