Noob question : Rollback to Windows Mobile 5 ?

Hi,
sorry for that noob question but I have already downloaded the WM6 upgrade for the 4350.
Before installing it, I would like to know if it is possible to downgrade the WM6 to WM5 if I dont like that new version.
Thank you !

Yes, get your WM5 package ready (i.e. download your official/prefered WM5 ROM).. and you can flash it back later. It is not possible (I think) to backup your ROM to be flashed back later.

Hi Hanmin,
thank you for your answer.
My second noob question is... where can I download the WM5 ROM ?
There is no WM5 download on HTC club so I don't have any source to use if I want to install WM5 again.
Am I missing something ?
Thanks

Hmmm.. this seems tough. As most of the phones were preinstalled with the first version of WM5, chances are, we do have a AKU ROM upgrading package, which is the entire ROM itself. In cases where we do not like WM5, we use that to flash it back. For Herald, it seems that it came with the new version of WM5, as such, probably there isn't any ROM package that youc and download and flash.. unless someone made a dump on it, or there are to be leaks.
UPDATE: There are available at
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Herald_Upgrades
Get your version from there. Get it before they are gone.

Thanks Hanmin,
what a pity that there is no French version :/
Do you know if it is possible for me to dump the memory (and to made it available for the community) ?
Thanks !

Sorry. Can't help you on that. Whooss way over me. I'm not much into the ROM stuff. However, I think if you sniff around more, there are certain threads teaching you how to dump it

Bepe ROM's - Howto for newbies needed plz!

Hi Folks!
First I would like to say that you are doing a lot of great work which will make the life with our little electronic friends alot easier! I saw these Windows Mobile 6.1 images from Pepe and I just must have it. But since I'm completly new to PPC's, I have a few questions about it.
1. Is there a list of features of the different "Editions" for the Bepe images?
2. How do I flash the ROM to my phone? Is there some kind of HowTo?
3. I have an O2 XDA Orbit 2 which is an Polaris 200. Is that the right platform? I just don't want to mess anything up on it.
4. What will happen to my TomTom Navigator software? Can I reinstall it using the package included DVD?
Thanks for your patience and for answering my questions!

I think you mean Bepe and not Pepe?
1) Premium = Full; Opera = No TomTom; Standard = No TomTom, No Opera Browser; Basic = Light
2) First of all you have to install HardSPL and then you can flash the Rom (just download the rom, the tool for flashing is built in).
3) Yes, it´s right. I did the same.
4) Grab the Premium-Version, there´s TomTom included. This might be work without reinstalling from the TomTom-DVD. I prefer IGO8.
Further information can be found here.
Good luck.

Thanks alot! So at last I need to know is if the Bepe ROM's contain any radio stuff or which one I should take.

radio is included. at least i didn't had to install any additional stuff...

No, Radio is NOT included, but the one already on your phone will not be affected by flashing this ROM or any other ROM not containing Radio. The CustomRUU will always update only what is included in the ROM and leave the rest as it is.
If I'm wrong, correct me.

Radio rom is not included
FM Radio is

Guys I got it! This Newbie HowTo is really great!
First I tried the Polaris unlocker. It has three steps, but only the first, flashing the Hard SPL worked for me for unknown reason. I thought Hard SPL is on the device, it runs up fine, three coloured screen says Hard SPL so I was going for the Bepe 0.67 Premium ROM. This worked really fine. After that, I did a hard reset as recommended and made my settings. Then I tried to flash the radio. Well... This made me kinda nervous, I thought I f*cked something up and bricked it. It showed me an error 262 at 99% and then some kind of recovery stuff started. I was a bit too nervous so I choose next where I shouldn't. But removing the battery, and flashing the new radio again while seeing the three coloured screen worked fine for me. WiFi and 3G phone calls work fine, the rest should be also ok I think. Well, thanks for this great ROM's folks! Now I'm happy that I bought my HTC instead of this piece of brick called iPhone.

XDA Ignito / HTC Touch - Need advice (help) plz :)

hi guys,
I have just joined the forum and this is my first post..
I have bought the XDA Ignito or the HTC Touch Diamond.. and have been exploring the phone. Was wondering if I can get some help here, i know there are lots of posts there but some things are complicating to me!
Just to inform that I am a newbie with all this stuff.
I want to customise few things:
I'm on orange and therefore I dont want the O2 screen at the start, and although I like the blue and white theme (of the TouchFlo3D), I would like to see the original version (black) also..
In the Internet option, When I click on Launch Browser, nothing happens and I have to manually open Internet Explorer from the Start menu!
I thought it is possible to browse the web in landscape by tilting the phone, but when I tilt the device nothing happens. Is it because im using Internet Explorer?
What do I need to do to purely customise my new toy lol
Also I would like to know of any tweaks that I may be able to do to maybe make the phone more faster?
One more question, I would like to know how long on average does the battery last? Mine lasts just about a day!
Thank you lot in advance! Appreciate all the help I can get!
Cheers
dakz

The simple answer is to flash a new rom. This will make your phone a standard diamond and remove the O2 branding
Internet explorer does not work in landscape. Most diamond's have Opera installed as the default browser which does switch to landscape
The new Rom should make your phone faster - the custom roms are usually tweaked for speed
If it's new, you are probably playing with your new toy a lot, so 1 day battery is about right
You could also try diamond tweak or advanced config from this forum. Both allow you to tweak in a user friendly way
There are sticky threads about these at the start of this very diamond forum

hey hays
firstly thanks for the reply..
So where do I or can I download the new rom and is it easy to 'flash' it? But before that i would want to know how to backup the current one just incase therex problems later!
Regarding the browser, i will try find the opera browser n download and make it the default, hoping that will work!
Right once i get those things done i will search the tweaks..
cheers so far
dakz

I downloaded Opera, including the new beta version from their website and yet it does not tilt to landscape when i turn the phone
Can someone who is able to browse the web in landscape plz tell me which version of Opera you are using?
thanks

opera browser landscape version??
no one willing to put an input??? Need to know the opera version!

I suggest you to backup files using spb backup and then flash the rom you like. It's easy, there is a fine tutorial. Probably you will have opera with it.

cheers
thanks for that
spent most of today just researching it around the forums, catching up on all the terminology that had been confusing me lol
I will download n flash a new ROM soon.. but I would like to backup my current one, which is 1.93.206.3 WWE and Radio version 1.00.25.05.
Anyone know where I can download these original ones?
thanks once again.
dakz

I know nothing about backuping whole rom, but I suggest you not to worry about that, there are few O2 roms here I think, radio also is no problem

yeh i might forget about backing up the whole ROM and instead im just going to find 1.93.206.3 WWE ROM sumwhere lol and then i can start messing about!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430636

dont work!
thanks idrisito, i've checked that thread earlier today..
the link they provide in there dont exist any more

does it not! ill sort it out when i get home!

found it, i think!
well i did find "O2 XDA Ignito ROM 1.93.206.3 WWE November_2008.rar" from http://www.mediafire.com/?wz2amnzyk1w located in the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=430636&page=5.
Now im slightly confused, will this do as my backup or should I wait until you sort out the link u have given me earlier?

that link i posted (i.e. the first one on the XDA ignito thread) does work ! i just downloaded from it !
thats the latest one it should say december 7th!
the other one i upped whic youv got does not display the splash screen correctly
once you'v downloaded the december 7th one that should allow you to return to the stock ROM, after flashing other ROMs, if you want to ever return for warranty purposes!

wicked! thanx
Hey idrisito thanks bro!!
dont know what happened!! its strange lol it was not working before! honest!
well im downloading it right now.
I also managed to flash Hard-SPL-Diamond-OliNex 1.40 and updated my Radio to v1.03.25.18 from 1.00.25.05. How would i find out which radio is better lol are there any things i should look for?
Two days of hard reading on this forum ahh lol but glad its done successfully without any problems.. next stage is to find a good ROM and flash that! Might start with the HTC's original one and compare it to the O2's blue theme.
thanks n keep up the good work
update: I just tried to flash Diamond_WWE_1.93.707.157 ROM but for some reason was unsucessful! It ends up with the following message after 1%:
error [244] INVALID MODEL ID
What am i doing wrong?
dakz

you need to carrier unlock your phone (CID unlock) if you want to flash any ROM!
have you installed unsigned hard SPL? (i suggest unsigned)
it probably didnt work cos the rom your installing is for a different region!
go for one of UDKs or some of the othe widely used ROMs in the forum!
there is a way round flashing the rom you currently have but it involves deconstrucing>> changing the model ID>>reconstructing the ROM and then flashing!
its easy enough once you know how!
the best radio in my opinion is the one suggested in UDK R3 ROM thread

[Q] How to Upgrade Iolite to WinMo 6.5?

Hello dear Xda-Developers forum,
i came here because i want to upgrade my XDA Guide (HTC Iolite) to the new WinMo 6.5 from Iomega staff.
First things first,
i have already read quite a few "how-to's" but still cant solve this issue.
I wanted to dump my rom first before i start to install the new one, so i've dumped 4 .raw parts from my phone but as i wanted to merge them into a rom with ervius-kitchen it just deleted these parts and gave me an error.
Also when i dump my phone via an exe and not by typing it in a cmd window i only get 2 .raw files. Is this an error or is the rest just not needed?
Next i have some quite basic problems:
-What is a .nbh file and where do i get it to cook a rom?
-If possible is there already a Stock O2 German rom i could download? (Google gave me no results)
-I have no idea how to install a new rom
Thanks in advance,
Micha

Solved.
I've been able to install the rom but however am not able to form my dumps into 1 .nbh. Anyway since i don't seem to get an answer to that i see this thread as of no further use and would admit and Admin deleting it.
Merry Christmas
Micha

[Q] need wm 6.1 rom for my htc 3300!!!!!!

I have HTC P3300 and it came with WM6 with the following config.
ROM : 3.7.701.1 WWE
ROM date : 6/21/07
Radio : 02.69.90
Protocol : 4.1.13.30
ext Rom : 3.6.707.101
Now i want to upgrade it to WM6.1
I SEARCHED THRU MANY POSTS. i got so many answers to my questions but i have some fundamental questions and if anybody can answer that i will be really obliged.
1) I have vodafone India. Can i flash a ROM which is for another carrier. For eg. when I searched the thread "Artemis_Upgrades" I could not find any HTC WWE factory ROM which matched the above specs. BUT when i saw the factory ROM of DOPOD WM6. It matched the above specs perfectly.
so the basic question is if anything goes wrong in my upgrade then can I flash the DOPOD rom on my HTC
2) I have searched the forums but i could not find a valid factory WM6.1 ROM. If anybody can provide a link then it would be a great help to me. Please also specify which ROM (dopod or any other) is compatible to my HTC.
3) Once i get both the above factory ROMs (WM6 and WM6.1) i will be flashing my HTC and the steps that i would follow is as mentioned in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401814
1) soft -reset using the USPL
2) flashing the ROM.
Please let me know if I need to do anything other than this!
Thank you in advance.

I suggest reading through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870041

pmsl neo, loving the xda spirit hahaa
bhaskaramp
follow the link that neo gave you and flash your p3300 with uspl1.11.cmon.
you cant go wrong if you follow the steps on my thread in post 1.
(post 1... here...)
if it does not work, or if you have any questions, just message me, im always here to help.
*do not try anything untill you have sucessfully done uspl1.11.cmon.
Sooo.. the point im trying to make is: you wont even need the original/official rom once you have got uspl1.11.cmon installed.
eg, if you flash a rom and it goes wrong, uspl1.11.cmon will let you flash ANY rom, so the original/official rom is not even needed!
Rn
i know i said it before but ill say it again: im always here to help

And that's that.
