Sorry for asking stupid question....I searched on this forum, couldnt find answers.
I read on official HTC site, that after I upgrade to WM6, I cannot downgrade to WM5 anymore.
I found many customized ROM here (WM6), if I used that ROM, can I downgrade to WM5 after some times?
thx
Of course you can ...
how is that done, do you just overwrite everything with the standard HTC ROM or do you have to delete the Hard SPL and radio upgrades first?
You can do, but once you have WM6 you will not what too...
May be an idea to keep a copy off your orginial rom,
incase you want the exact same one back...

Hi,
I've just bought my wife a Herald (P4350) here in Moscow. It comes with Windows Mobile 5 in Russian and we really need to change it to English. I've been referred here as the best place for help on how to do this but looking around this forum there is a huge variety of information that is quite confusing for the noob (which I am for this type of thing!)
Can anyone tell me how to change the ROM? I don't know if it's cid locked or anything else! You'll need to tell me how I can check, if you don't mind. It's just branded as HTC. I don't mind if the ROM is WMM 5 or 6 as long as it's in English.
Thanks!
Upgrade your phone with the official WM6 HTC ROM. Then if it's still not in english, use any of our custom ROMs as they're almost all in English.
IF you decide to HardSPL, please take note of the SPL version you have or you will brick your device.

Thanks for the advice ivanmmj. The official update is in Russian as this is the only option it gives to download. Can you please tell me what HardSPL means? I notice other people mentioning it but I don't know what it means.
[edit] It seems that HardSPL is something that provides a more foolproof way of changing ROMS. As I am a complete newbie at this, I am worried of trying something that will render my wife's phone useless! She needs it for work.
Is it possible to upgrade my ROM to the official English WM6 ROM found in the Herald WIKI of this site? Will I have to unlock the CID?
You cannot use the official WM6 update to get it in English,
you will get a Invalid Vendor ID error, You should flash the official
WM6 RUssian first, then download USPL.
Now Download the desired ROM (pick one you like there are enough)
And always read instructions!!
USPL
RUU Russian
Read the Instructions in the USPL folder,
Put the downloaded ROM in .nbh format in the RUU folder.
If you have questions please post before just trying,
you don't want a Brick like many of us (including me) have owned

No you can't, Invalid Vendor ID error will occur.
If you really want Hrd-SPL,
Upgrade to WM6 Russian first, Hard-SPL needs an SPL higher than4.xx
You can try Hard-SPL indeed, but flash official WM6 first(!!!)
Hard-SPL

Thanks very much for the info Dutchman! It's becoming clearer.
Where can I find information about each ROM and what they contain? There isn't a WIKI page for them yet.

every official rom....
Upgrade to the russian WM6 first, before HardSPLing and verify that you have the correct SPL version before you start.
Thank you all kindly for your help. I'll let you know how I get on.
I have found no working link for RUU_Herald_HTC_WWE_5.4.405.1_4.1.13.34_02.79.90_Ship including link given at WIKI. I have googled for above ROM but still no working link.
I need above ROM as i need to go back on official WM5 ROM of mine (from WM6) before installing TOUCH IT. Any help???
Not exactly what you requested but close enough
HTC_P4350_WWE_4.17.405.2_4.1.13.44_02.94.90_Ship.exe (official WM6 ROM)

I'm sure you don't have to downgrade.
I didn't do that and nobody else I know

I am already using your mentioned ROM. I have tried HARD SPL and WM6_Hard_SPL.rar. I have also tried BETA3 USPL. I recieve connectivity errors though I am able to run same WM6 RUU (Ship version) successfully. In WIKI its mentioned among known problems that
UPGRADING TO WM6 FROM WM6
(PLEASE DELETE LINE IF CONFIRMED)
Not sure if this is a known\common issue but when you are upgrading from a cooked WM6 ROM to another cooked WM6 ROM you must first downgrade to WM5 otherwise you will get hung at the first boot loader screen
Weird, if your SPL is at least 4.xx.xx the HardSPL ROM should work fine with you. I flashed from original German O2 WM6 ROM to HardSPL WM6 ROM. Then I flashed to latest HTC German WM6 ROM (for a clean base) and from there to any available custom ROM.
Thats what i am unable to understand. It gives me connection error 202 on PC as soon as it goes to BOOT loader. I have seen a few other users making same complaint in HARD SPL thread of olpiro.
I have connection problems too, and they were fixed by uninstalling activesync, then redownloading it from the MS website.

Resolved
Thanks Issue has been Resolved via USPL and TOUCH IT.

Thanks man ! have a good day !
this is not good rom!
I received today my TC with an English version of WM6. Cause I ordered a Dutch version of WM6, I called HTC with the question if it is possible to use a Dutch WM6 ROM. They told me that this is not possible, because the motherboard does not support the Dutch characters and also I lose the warranty.
Is there somone familiar changing the englisch ROM with the Dutch ROM?
Just flash it to youre phone no worry it will work beleive me.
First HardSPL youre device and after that use the dutch ROM. Someone has uploaded an Full and Light version and the Original version of the rom.
But make sure youre device is HardSPL otherwise you can brick youre phone.
Or return the phone and get a dutch version as you ordered.
But as said in the post above, flashing to another rom will have no effect on your motherboard. They just say that to scare you.
Thanx, I just download the original TC Dutch version of WM6. Can I download somewhere, in case of warranty, the original Englisch version of the TC ROM?
I have now the CE OS 5.2.1623 (Build 18129.0.4.5) ROM version 1.25.4051 WWE
You can Backup youre Original Rom somewhere on youre PC just search and look how you can do that.

I allready contact the supplier, but I opened the box thats why I can't returned the TC. I also have to wait several weeks again, so I thought to simple change the ROM language to save time.

Thanks NikMel.
In the XDA-Wiki of the HTC Artemis (P3300) there is a list of available original shipped ROM Versions. Maybe it is posible to create this list for the Touch Cruise too.
is there anyway to downgrade a flashed rom back to the original wm5? i'm facing quite some problems with my device and i don't know if it's the device or the rom. so i thought of flashing back to wm5 to test and see. thing is, i can't find a place to get the original wm5 for my dopod m700
Next time try to search a litle better....
There are many threads about it...
And... Wiki is your friend...
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Artemis_Upgrades
well, i'm trying to find original rom of ARTE300. seems like HTC website doesn't have it, or i don't know how to obtain it.
Hello everybody,
I have bought my new HTC HD2 from Vodafone Germany. I live in Germany and ,as all windows devices, my HTC is localized to Germany and the windows mobile 6.5 comes with the German language and I wanted to change it to English. I tried to download the ROM upgrade to "English-Arabic support" from HTC website but when I put the serial number of my device it says that this version is not suitable for your device and I have found another version "RUU_Leo_HTC_WWE_1.48.405.2_Radio_Signed_15.28.50.07U_2.05.51.05_2_Ship.exe" and when I tried to install it I got an error says "INVALID Vendor ID" or something like this.
Finally I have bought a 3ed party software just to be enabled to read arabic but the language is still German
So please if anybody knows how to solve this problem and help me I will be thankful.
Best Regards,
Amer
install hspl then instal whichever run you like via usb.
i had the same probs here with vodaphone uk...
as above, install hspl, the sticky of this can be found in the leo roms section of this site and it will guide you, but the installation process is really straight forward.. then you are able to install any of the ROMS, be they official OR custom cooked roms..
My personal favourite is the ENERGY series of roms.. but have a good look about, im sure you will find many that offer the practicality and versatility your after!

Hi Ell_H,
Thank you very much for your reply and I have read about HSPL and it sounds amazing tool but another question about restoring the old system. How can I get the original ROM and restore the system to its old state after changing it?
Thanks in advanced.

You need to find the original rom for your phone, both region AND provider(if you were getting invalid serial on teh htc website then your phone is provider locked, so for example you would need to look for the german t mobile rom, if you got your phone from t mobile germany)
Once you have your original rom you can then use sd card method to remove hspl and restore to factory rom. You can only do this with your original shipped rom.
Problem upgradind German Vodafone ROM
Hi,
I have the same problem upgrading the Vodafone ROM. I would like to load the generic ROM or any other ROM that works with Vodafone. It can be English as well. If I try to load the generic through HTC site it checks the SN and doesn't allow the ROM upgrade.
What to do to load another up to date ROM without running into the same issue as Amer? There are so many ROM version out there and I don't want to risk trying the wrong ROM.
Thanks for help!

You need to obtain the rom from vodafone, or use HSPL / Gold Card to flash another ROM.
Thx for answer. I read about HSPL and will figure that out. I read there are requirements concerning the radio. My radio is 2.04.50.22_2 and ssems pretty old. Does someone know where to find the best guide how to do the HSPL install?
There are many ROMS out there and I want to make sure I will not run into trouble using it with Vada. What ROM to take is the question?
Danke!
