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

depends on what you mean by "authentic". flashing a new rom will NOT SIM-unlock your device. you might however lose any warranty...not sure about this, i never cared =)
if you are flashing a new rom, you should use USPL by pof to temporarily cid-unlock your device. if you KNOW your device is not cid-locked, you dont have to do this, but doing it anyway will not do any harm. i recommend using USPL everytime you flash a rom to your device.
if you use meschle's ROM as suggested by leethedon1 (i second that) USPL will be included in the download. just follow the steps.

since i dont know your current ROM i cant say anything about "better", "faster" or "more stable". however, meschle's 4.02 vanilla (and also lite) is one of the fastest and most stable ROM i tried. and i tried quite a lot...

you can't go back. what you can do is flash any other ROM (including your original ROM, as long as you have it somewhere). dumping your current ROM is possible, search this forum. however, that's advanced stuff.
Hello, I am bad in english, so please give me please the link to the newest ROM and RADIO version for HTC TyTN (HERM100). He is unlocked. Please give me the ROM WM6 or WM6.1 clean, so without others aplications, like ROM from official HTC
Thanks very much, sory for maybe spam, but i cant search becouse I dont understand nothing
This is in bootloader:

Hi...take a look here to get started with rom info (most are using WM6.1):
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=419530
And what version is like official from HTC Diamond, becouse this ROMs are modified and added many programs, i want the hole ROM instalation WM6.1 for Hermes, you understand me??
There are NO official wm6.1 for hermes...they are all ported from other devices & cooked!
I know man, a said like official ROM, so where is on this forum the ROM for Hermes with WM6.1 which is most similar to "Hermes official" (if that will been)
So I look for hole ROM instalation without programs from user modificators
When searching for roms pay attention to keywords such as "clean" or "naked." These are usually stripped down and should be what you're looking for. Also, for many of the usually bloated roms they also offer "Lite" versions which don't include as much custom software.
Does that answer the question?
There was some ROM nothing changed/added/removed ... but I can't find it now.
EDIT: found it - http://rapidshare.com/files/152424620/anryl910_19212.rar.html
I have IMATE JasJam

Can someone please tell me where can I get WM6.1 ROM for my phone

Hi everyone
I am new to this forum so bear with me.
I have a Blackstone NL version with 1.56 firmware from stock. Just got it 2 weeks ago. I would like to test miri's new WM6.5 v15 on it. My question would be:
If i do that, (and dont like it) can i go back to what i have now?
If so, can I make a complete backup of my blackstone, and i dont mean a sync of the contacts but a real OS image of some sort.
Is it possible to find original HTC OS images of different languages.( i have dutch on mine and would like to have one in English. If yes, Where?
For my questions, please be specific and clear coz i am a Noob.
Thanks in advance

As I read it, he's asking two questions, one is where to find the ROM - which you answer - and the other (which I'd like answered too) is what problems might there be in rolling back to the stock ROM; my reading of the Wiki simply doesn't answer that part unless I'm missing something (or searching for the wrong thing?). So a pointer to a previous article (which might help us) would be useful, if someone knows where one is....
The ROOM is the Bibble of changing ROM: in this forum you'll find all if you search...
But you want the fish not learn fishing...
1) Wiki for ROM
2) No problem to return back...
D'rath
why didnt you just say that in the first place then, my god, geeks
but roll back imply that the org rom is still inside the device
and thats not the case to go back you just have to flash your
device with the same version it came with like you would flash
it with any other rom
Hi, I have elfin (HTC Touch) and I have Windows Mobile 6 professional and I want to upgrade it to 6.5 so can anyone type me a link so I can download the ROM directly because there is more than one ROM in the forum and I'm afraid to download a wrong one so please help me...thanks

mind my sarcasm...but he meant to say...to upgrade your device without damaging it...you will need to follow some instructions....and if you read it well and if you are a sane guy...then you would atleast EDIT your POST and remove the god damn IMEI of your device....people dont give away their IMEI jus like that you know...its something only you should know...and jus so you know...i m not trying to piss you off cos you are as we call a newbie....so here is a breakdown of what you need to do
1. your device is an ELFIN...so we know
2. jus like you unlock your sim to use your phone...you need to unlock your device...(so that it becomes writable)
3. to do so...you would need to make use of a part of software called USPL and IPL...USPL does the part of keeping your device unlocked...and IPL needs to remain the same series....if you flashed a USPL of 3.XX then your IPL shud be 3.XX series
4. now do the reading on your own this time and discover all flavours of 6.5 ROMS available here....
btw i wonder why you havent tried the official 6.1 ROM from HTC
thanks so much, first i don't know even the difference between the 6.1 and the 6.5 but when i saw some topics about 6.5 and the people said that it works better with the HTC touch so I think in that, now i made a backup ROM from the one i have is that good step and i already downloaded 2 different ROMs from the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552371 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540)
but how can i make the device rewritable is there a application i can download? and what's your opinion to upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5?

Tht's a good thing to backup your Original ROM, should be helpful in case of errors, bricking or re-servicing. (though i forgot to do mine )

There's is no problem about being not rewritable or sort! Once you CID unlock and upgrade your IPL/SPL, you can upgrade or degrade your device to any ROM you like whenever u like!
About opinions, there are alot of people here and would obviously have their own different opinions and so you will have too! I'd ask you to try out ROMs yourself and use the suitable one you choose. If you'd like to have a stable ROM, i'd advice you to use the 6.1 ROMs and if you'd like to have newer latest builds, you can go for the 6.5 ROMs (which have been optimized to their best stable by respective cooks). In the end, its up to you which you choose as your BEST ROM!
PS: Do read if the ROM is suitable for your device, in this case- Elfin and few FAQs posted out by the ROM cook. Respect others work and last but not least Read & Search before asking Questions!!
Thank you very much I finally upgraded my elfin to windows mobile 6.5 and it's awesome but i still have one more thing i want to make it read and write Arabic language without convert the whole interface is there a patch? I already searched about that and i found a file but it's not an application and I don't know how to use it. before that in my old 6.0 i downloaded an application when i install it, it solves the whole situation then i tried it with the 6.5 but the start menu won't open after i installed it so i formatted the ROM.

hi, first of all, the backup you have done is probably not ready to be flashed, so whatever you do, dont flash that again or u will brick your phone.
arabic? take a look at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
and finally, i think it will be better if u update ur ipl to 3.10 too.
thanks crapula512 but what you mean with the backup not ready to be flashed? is there any other step ?

what he means is....you may brick the device with the backup you just created. so if you wana restore your original...which is the one you have backed up now...you should and can only flash that by making use of USPL or HSPL...search the forum for USPL and HSPL...and you will be given guides...

Sould I keep the version 6.1, but just update that to English? I have an Portuguese on it. If do, where I can find the last version of it?
If you think is better change to 6.5, please link me the last version of it.
Witch risks I have to upgrade my cellphone?
On more question, Do you have an step by step to upgrade the version, and how to backup my current SO in a PENDRIVE or other divice, in order to get the original configurations back if I sell it?
Sorry for disturb yourselves, but I prefer ask before do any thing that can brake my phone forever.

hello leonardo....welcome to this great forum.
before you can upgrade your WM6.1 to 6.5 and above, you need to HardSPL your phone in which case you lose your warranty but there is a way to overcome that. The stock SPL 1.35.xx.x is available for download. I can upload it if you require it in the future. If you restore the original SPL along with the stock ROM (which is readily available) you can always fall back to your original phone state. The guide to flashing is here

if you want to experiment and try out WM6.5, go ahead but bear in mind that the CHEFS (those experts who 'cook' custom ROMS) are yet to come up with a bugfree WM6.5 ROM.
and lastly, please don't just start a new topic for just one questions. seach in relevant forum/sub-forums/threads. I promise you that they will answer your questions and give you confidence in how to go about doing things with your WinMo.
neway...goodluck to you. and remember that the experts (not me!!!) will be always ready to answer your questions.
