Hi can anyone please tell me how to upgrade my ba to wm 6.5 from wm 6? , i used the wizard to upgrade from wm2003 to wm6 about 2 yrs ago, any help much appreciated, love this pda and i love using it as a phone too
basicly, when your device is already upgraded, there is not much to do.
you probably don't have to worry about sim lock and radio roms and storage sizes anymore, since apparently, it all worked fine so far.
so all you need to do is download any wm6.5 rom, unpack it, and make a RUU folder, containing the rom itself (nk.nbf) and a few other files named for example maupgradeut_noid.exe and getdevicedata and so on.
then you hard reset your device by pressing camera+record+power+reset and set the menu options clear registry hive and format storage to "YES" and enable kitl to "NO" using the camera and record buttons to flip and switch, confirm that with the mail button.
then you put your device into bootloader mode by pressing reset+record+power, kill active sync, connect the device to the pc and start maupgradeut_noid. if the 2nd screen shows you at least the version of the rom you go to, you are fine and can start the upgrade.
as soon as it is finished, use the hard reset method described above to prepare the device for the first start and then you might want to use "getting started" on the device to set it up and set up sync to get your pim data back. i shortened this description as you might remember a lot of stuff, or so i hope. most of what i wrote should ring a bell, if not, please feel free to have a look in the wizard for upgrades from wm5 to wm6 -=here=- or simply ask again, what troubles you.
with best regards

hi Tony thanks 4 ure help, when u say any rom is that only those specific for ba or are they all universal? i downloaded WM65-23052 & EnergyROM_RAPHAEL_20090811_Titanium or should i stick to the ones on the ba wizard page eg r6? i guess its the latter
of course you can only use blueangel roms found in the ba wm6 section, i mean, if you have a dvd writer that can read any disk, you wouldn't shove a slice of salami in there, would you?
the roms are so far interchangable as being WWE and work with every BA worldwide, but you need a blueangel rom, because of the rom's structure, memory consumption, drivers and so on, and after all, the buttons and the display resolution.
i once had a case, where someone tried to flash a charmer rom to a ba, that rom was way too big, and also the files were completely different, so he couldn't get through with it on his own and asked, because he would have messed up his ba with that pretty bad.
so, conclusively, 23052 builds are nice, but wait, till it's coming for the BA. i think d-two is working on it, maybe you want to have a look at the 23004 german rom thread, i asked him and he is gonna make an english version too, but until then you might want to catch status updates there.
Tony thanks it worked awsome phone, i used xplodes english rom, is there much difference between that & the german one? who needs an iphone eh again many thanks will lookout for d2s new ba release cheers
with the current releases there are no major differences between d-two's and xplode's build (except for the language) but what i wrote was about the next builds, they're both working on 23047 or 23052 builds, but d-two has the advantage that he has overcome the know sync and sms bugs, so his build will probably be the first of those two to come out. although he is rather new to this forum and so far he only supported his own wm6.5 build 23004 german, that is a guy you better keep an eye on. he is making fast progress and maybe will become one of the major chefs soon.
hi again please can you tell me how to do a wm6.5 hard reset & also how to get into into bootloader mode as to reload a new rom eg d2's, also i did notice there were 2 excel icons in msoffice maybe a bug many thanks
actually i solved it myself, just gotta be quicker with the camera & record buttons cheers
Hi Tony everything on explodes exroms installed ok except jbed, is that java? Also i looked at xplodes manila thats really nice, i guess thats on the latest phones , its like a mini o/s, so u would just install that after u install a 6.5 rom?
yes, jbed is the java applet manager.
for manila, i wouldn't say it is a mini os, it is more of an alternative gui, it replaces the titanium today screen with a touchflo one, but it also just features basic functions, photo viewing, music playing and does not alter the start menu or any add-on apps, most of the functions are also available in titanium or for titanium as an add-in, let's say facebook or stuff like that.
the time to install doesn't really matter, you can also install other apps first, whatever, you only need to know that after you install it, you have to deactivate "default" in today plug-ins and also all the others, because you can have only manila as your today plugin then and then you should find a "touch to start touchflo" button on your today screen and then you'll see, whether it works or not. that really depends from user to user, and between the different devices, roms, countries and manila versions, maybe you have to try several versions before you actually find one that runs in an acceptable speed, because that seems to be the general issue when it comes to porting manila.
thanks i may just stick 2 what i have, d2,s new 6.5.1 rom is beta so would that except xplodes extrom 23004 cabs? or is it best to wait for him to put his own one out?
thanks i may just stick with what i have, D2's new rom 6.5.1 is that compatible with xplodes 23004 extrom or is it best to wait for d2 to bring his own one out?
d-two said he wanted to release one, maybe till the weekend he's done putting it together.

Ok guys - since my Molski.biz 2.26.10.2 rom has a few bugs (like the volume-control slider not working), I decided to reinstall a new rom. Ive seen already tons of threads including thousands of posts so it`s difficult to find out which rom is the best.
I heard of Faria released a cooked WM6-Rom but I m not sure if it`s working fine with the wizard and if there are still some bugs. In addition to that i don`t know if there are any incompatabilites with WM5 applications.
I`ve also seen a WM5 Rom tons auf WM5 Roms - but which one is working realy fine?
Oh forgot that: I`ve a G4 Device but it`s already CID unlocked.
LOL!!!!!!!
I haven't tried them all but Crossbow Reloaded 1.7 has been working great for me.
A couple of people, myself included had a problem where the built in phone dialer disappeared, but I fixed that by installing the Iphone dialer (can be found here by searching).
First Post.....
Yes, I as my post count would suggest I am new to flashing roms and setting up 3rd party softwares on my Wizard but I must say after hanging out on this forum for a couple of weeks I now feel somewhat like a veteran.
I first flashed with crossbow reloaded 1.7.1 I liked it and didn't notice any major problems at all.
But I was so impressed by XDA Mobile 6 that i had to try it and must say after about a week using it (since it was released) I'm much more impressed, wizard seems faster, i love the interface and the post offers great insight into problems and finding what configurations work for everyone.
I would suggest you try a few roms till you find what suits you best, here is the link to XDA Mobile 6
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310954&highlight=weather+panel
ok guys first i've installed core 2.0 what seems to work fine but, well u know, it's like a clean vanilla rom - too clean for me. So next i wanted Titanium but it's not released yet. After looking over the programs Faria delivers with his rom, i've decided not to have this much software and installed XDA Mobile 6. Seems to work fine and it looks nice.
Just one more question: where the heck is some difference to WM5? I mean everything looks like the same in WM6. Well ok, there is maybe a new skin, and some new tones, but in the end, i've could also use WM5 with wisbar and the Vista Skin.
For me it seems to be the same sh** like Windows XP and Vista - no real changes at all.
There's a page somewhere on Microsoft.com that details all of the new features in wm6 (Im sure if you do a google search for wm6 review you will find it). The most important one in my opinion is the ability to display HTML with in emails.
Guys, just wondering, I can't find anything conclusive over how many people have actually moved away from the UK O2 ROM to a cooked one. Can anyone who has made the jump tell me if there was a noticeable difference and what ROM you used. Also, were they functional for everyday use?
I will be moving to a cooked ROM later, but for the time being I have gone from the o2 rom to the HTC one on the FTP.
I'm happier with it. All the HTC stuff that o2 seem to uninstall (because they are losers) is there without any need to install it all yourself.
I can't see any reason to change as yet unless there is a good cooked rom a la meschle's Touch 4.0.
Likewise, I'll be moving to a cooked rom, but am waiting for someone to make the leap first!
Any reports (successful or otherwise) will be great!
Hey guys
I've been running Bepe's 6.1 preview for the last week. To be honest, the only improvement is the threaded messaging.
I found the o2 rom quite good, but if there's something to flash I'll always give it a go. By the time you've added all your own apps it really doesn't make a huge difference.
App wise I'm running:
Vistahide battery gauge
Samsung time
o2 plus2.3 - with shortcuts & diary enabled
Spb pocket suite
Not that that has anything to do with the rom!?!
Has anyone over here tried upgrading the radio to 1.58.25.14?
Jamie
I'm still on the o2 rom, with:
PocketRAR
ClearTemp
Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool
HTC Home plugin
Home Customizer
WkTask (I really like the battery meeter along the top and the task buttons)
Until a stable WinMo 6.1 rom comes out with everything I'll stick with the o2 rom.
Why they removed the HTC home I'll never know

Me, but have not noticed any difference.
I think we should start a campaign to get meschle to defect to polaris. I have already donated to towards this campaign. We would need to set up a new thread and link it to the artemis wm6 thread.
The biggest problem with the O2 ROM is that tweaks don't work. You can change a registry value and after a soft-reset it will go back to the original value. Annoying!
That's why I use that tweaking tool, it actually sets the values. Although it's not as exansive as a registry
i'm in the US using a UK Orbit 2 and i've been running the .53 version of bepe's WM 6.1 ROM. aside from the improved responsiveness and threaded messaging, you start out with 140MB of available storage and 69MB of available RAM. with all my programs loaded, i have 85 MB available, which is important to me. with the stock ROM, i started off with 89MB available before loading my standard set of apps. i've held off using newer versions because i'm happy with what i have and how it's working so far.

What tweaking tool? The Kaiser one? I thought that messed peoples device up.
Don't see why I would want to flash for the time being.
To me, flashing a rom is so that I don't need to spend so much time configuring the device (because everything is pre-configured in cooked roms). And as there ain't many changes to the current cooked roms, it is quicker to configure the device than to mess with flashing.

You'll never find the best ROM suited to your specific taste unless you try 'em all. Me? i'm totally sold out with Panosha's Butterfly ROM but at the moment am testing Bepe's v0.56 Full, and so far, liking it too! Cooked ROM's are always way faster and more responsive than the shipped one's.
im sorry about my english.
this site sez that if i install this program in my mda vario it will become wm6 with touchflo.. http://dhiehyhies.multiply.com/journal/item/18

Well,its just another custom build wm6 Rom without any ipl/spl included in it,it looks safe though,but I can't assure you of its trust worthiness,as I have never used rom from this site.But you'll have to get your phone CID unlocked first to upgrade to any wm6 rom.Instead of this Rom,You can find many latest custom build wm6 and wm6.1 excellent roms here in this forum,which are trustworthy.
thanks.
do you know where i can find a program that can unlock my cid?
and im searching for a wm6 with touchflo, do the wm6.1 that is here includes it?
Actually, you can install touchflo on any ROM - even on your current WM5 - the program you need is called ftouchflo. I guess it stands for "fake touchflo", since touchflo itself is HTC's driver/software placed in their touch/touch dual/polaris phones, and what ftouchflo does is emulating the behaviour of HTC's touchflo.
So, just search the forum for ftouchflo, and install its cab (make sure you get the latest version - 1.4.1).
You'll also want to install the ftouchflo configuration tool (should pop up when searching for ftouchflo).
With these two apps you'll have the system-wide finger scrolling and left/right/up/down gestures support plus ability to easily configure gestures and exclude programs from ftouchflo scrolling (stuff that has its own finger scrolling or gesture support - like pocketCM)
Efrost, creator of touchflo also released a much more powerful and more configurable version of it, called ftouchSL, but this one's a commercial app, not freeware.
And if you want the cube launcher, like the one on Touch phones, search for SCLPC++ - you don't need it embedded in your ROM as well and can install it on pretty much anything running WM5 or higher OS.
So, my advice to you is to first get to know the software and see if you actually like it. It's easier to install it into OS that doesn't include it, than remove it from ROM
thank you about the reply.
about the SCLPC++ i had it but it had some bugs like the menu disapeared so i delete it.
About the ftouchflo i will try to find it, but also i want to upgrade to wm6 so if i can do it, and put touchflo at the same time.. why not?.

does someone know where can I find a program that will unlock my CID?
It's all in the wiki

hi
it's up to you if you want to trust it. hehe...
btw, i'm the owner of that blog.
and many filipinos are using that rom. mostly members form www.airfagev.com since that rom was dedicated for that site. anyways, the rom is outdated and i'm not planning to update it.
Will you please give your experience with win 6.5 build 11.
My experience:
Positives: Very cool: More storage
Negatives: Frequent crashes especially upon installation of new programs. Like I installed new version of spb keyboard, it crashed altogether and I had to hard reset.
It is more slower than 6.1.
i thought it was it was a kewl upgrade until i tried it .............
Its much slower than 6.1 not just a little but much slower, looks great but some of the options in the settings menu were missing that i was looking for but all in all i prefer the 6.1 over 6.5....which i loaded back a few mins ago(6.1)....cant wait for 7 next yr to see what tht has to offer but im assuming Viva's processor might its work cut out for it lolololol

Thanks for your reply!
Yes I am also of the same opinion. How can I go back to original ROM? Because we have changed the hard spl. I shall be thankful.
well, for me, it works great, except it doesnt have windows live and onenote mobile, i had to download it (except onenote cos i dont need it) on my own... speed is okay, not as fast as wm6.1, startup is slow, the new lock screen, honeycomb and titanium is cool, but the panel for email and text is EXTREMLY BUGGY (they show a X sign and nothing else), album and touchflo 2d seems to respond faster, theres a few bugs but they dont really show up much, the new touch engine (or watever the thing is called for the touch scrolling) is great, but theres touchflo scrolling which makes it really annoying (btw, is there any way to remove the scrolling? i changed the registry but its still there)... but for me, its okay for everyday use...
P.S according to the ORIGINAL POST ON PDAVIET, its based on the iolite rom(i think) and i DONT recommend you guys to upgrade to v12 but wait for v13, so in the meantime, use the v11 rom...

i too am trying to find a way... too bad theres no solution yet to change to original spl...
guys, when you say go back to the original rom, do you mean the version with 6.1? all you have to do is flash your viva again but using the
HTC OPAL ROM 6.1 V05 - Build 21014.1.6.0 version you can find in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=494083
That rom is from PhamQuang too
its quite good enough,.. but sending message always notify me delivery report, and get load.... , i cant unchecked the box..
