Installing WM6.5 on HTC Touch - Touch GSM General

Hello,
I'm new to this whole thing, so I apologize in advance for my dumb questions
I would like to install WM 6.5 + the new HTC touch flow on my HTC Touch.
I hear there are many modified ROMs out there, but I prefer the least modified one. one that resembles the original stock version, Is there something like that?
How can I get the new touch flow?
Can you please point me to a guide? does it matters if the guide is for my particular device or for another one? Does it considered illegal if I upgrade? (not that it's my concern)
Thanks..

as usual read the sticky topics, you can found all the info you are asking for in there.

confused..
I have read the stickies..Some I didnt undarstand.. some had too many acronyms.. so I was hoping you guys could help me out a little.. like outlining the process and I'll dig in to each step by myself.
anyway,For my purposes, this is the sticky I need, right?:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721
I have found some detailed guides on modmydiamond.info. does they apply to my Touch as well??

yes that's the sticky that you need, all the info is in there, don't try the info for other phones, stick to the info related to a touch is that is your device, first of all you need to know if your's an elf(64ram, 128flash) or elfin(128ram, 256flash), after that you need to know if your device is cid unlocked, if you have a custom rom, you are ready to go, if not, you need to start unlocking it, update your IPL(i'm using 3.10) then your SPL(I'm using HSPL 3.10, cmonex version) then your rom, I recommend you ONYX ones, 4.8 is winmo 6.1 with manila2D most similar to original touch interface. 5.2 is winmo 6.5 with titanium interface, the one similar to zune interface) I'm using Onyx 5.2.1, them update your radio to one of the latest, most people recomend 3.34, I'm using 3.39 which is supposed to drain more battery, I haven't see any problem with that.

Thanks!
Thanks alot!

About the goldcard
So the guide starts with creating a gold card. and that proccess requires an extra sd card. I undarstand the this step is very important in case something goes wrong. But I have no extra sd card, So - can I use my primary sd card for this, and format it when the proccess secceeds? Will I need to use my SD card at any point during the upgrading proccess?
Thanks.

I type faster in English I also decided to answer your pm in this thread so maybe it could help others, this is basically what paulocar told you.
1- I never tried the goldcard or created a backup of the rom because I didn't know it was possible then, so I went straight to the process of flashing my new device, anyway there's no point creating a goldcard if you don't intend to save it apart, meaning you better buy another card for everyday use. You don't need to use your SD card at any point during the upgrading process anyway.
2- You need this info tool to know more about your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418892 , this will help you see if you have Elf or Elfin, if it's Cid locked etc... With this info people will also help you more.
3- Procedure for Cid unlock, read this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408637 then this one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=445666.
4- After flashing Hspl - mine is 3.10, you can flash any cooked rom so you can try what is the best for you
5- Radio can be flashed from here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=527048 I use 3.34.90 and there's no probs with it in Israel.
Good luck!

you are the man
Thanks alot for paying attention I really appreciate it.
-So I think I will go ahead without a goldcard.
Actually I have run that info tool before, but couldn't analyze it's output.
1. How can I tell if i'm CID unlocked? my device info is:
Code:
Touch version : Elf
Device ID : ELF010000
CID : DOPOD001
IPL : 1.11.0002
SPL : 1.11.0000
ROM Version : 1.11.707.1B
ExtROM Version : 1.11.707.101
Operator Version: None
AKU Version : 0.2.3
Page Pool : 8 MB
RAM Size : 64 MB
ROM Size : 128 MB
Model No. : ELF0300
Part Number : 99HDM034-00
MCC+MNC : Not found
2. Also, Model no. \ Device ID - Which one is correct? (So I can download the correct ROM)
3. Suppose I'm CID UNLOCKED, is there any other reason why I should HardSPL? Does it matter Which version of PPL\SPL I have for perticular ROMs?
4. Tito12, you provided 2 links for CIDUnlocking, are those alernative methods to do the same thing, or that both has to be done?
5. As I Understand: The HardSPL CID Unlocks my phone, and Installs the necessary Bootloaders (IPL\SPL), am I right? does it has anything to do with radio flashing? if not, than, why on this page, the creator of the HardSPL warns that a specific version of it's HardSPL might drain battery faster?
6. is HardSPL the same as USPL?
Thanks again Tito12 and Everyone!

hi itaysk
You don't have the CID_Unlock...
If you want you can follow this post with all you need to CID_Unlock your P3450
And in my signature you find Video CID_Unlock HTC Touch ELF(in)
Ps: If you have problems with the USPL_2.26.0000 you can trie USPL_2.28.0000

Hi
First your device is an Elf, 2 it's Cid locked and 3 follow sbettencourt's tutorial it's perfect.
As for your question "does it has anything to do with radio flashing?", AFAIK it's no. I also don't see any connection between a specific version of HardSPL that might drain battery faster and radio flashing.
6.If you had read the whole thread on HSPL you could have found this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2916030&postcount=47.
Good luck

OK
Thank you.
Should I consider ELF010000 or ELF0300 for my device? they both appear on the output.

Hi
One is the dev id and the other is the model number, none are to be considered. Go to work

last question
OK guys, last 2 questions - I promise!
1. I have read the guides like a million times, but there are so many different files and versions so I have downloaded "ELFIN_HSPL_3.10" and will run elf-uspl.exe from there, and then "ROMUpdateUtility.exe" from there. RIGHT?
2. where in this entire process, comes the cooked room that I have downloaded? I haven't seen a place where I need to specify the file.
waiting for you answers and I can't wait to get started.
Thanks!

If you have "ELFIN_HSPL_3.10" you extract the zip to the folder and you see this:
{
"lightbox_close": "Close",
"lightbox_next": "Next",

"lightbox_error": "The requested content cannot be loaded. Please try again later.",

And only Run the elf-uspl only that!!!
But you will have to upgrade the IPL to 3.10.0002
2. where in this entire process, comes the cooked room that I have downloaded?

After you do all process of CID_Unlock, then, you download one ROM you like and flash in to your P3450
You must confirm in Bootloader if you have all ok with IPL & SPL

HELP
I have run elf-uspl.exe from ELFIN_HSPL_3.10. everything worked. the pinguin showd, it launched RUU but I have white screen on the phone with no active sync.
should I continue without ASctive sync????
Can it be a Windows 7 problem?
When I diconnect and reconnect the usb cable I hear that sound, that it was recognized, is that enough?

Yes.. It's ok... If you have watched the video, you will Know that...

Thanks!
sorry for being a pain.. it's just that the guides are not consistent with the downloads, their contents, and the installation order. Eventually, I followed you video, step by step, including the downloads, and got it working after a few tries.
Guys, I want to thank you for you patience. I really appreciate it. Thank you very very much!

Congrats

I'm sorry for the necro, but I can't seem to make this work at all. CID unlocking fails every time, sticking at the penguin and "loading SPL to RAM..." even with SIM and memcard removed and the device running completely clean.
For reference:
HTC Touch device information - by dsixda

ROM Version : 2.26.110.3
ExtROM Version : None
Operator Version: None
AKU Version : 0.4.2

RAM Size (MB) : 64
ROM Size (MB) : 128
Model No. : ELF0301

SIM Unlock Code : 46542578
Can anybody drop me a hint here? I'd love to put the latest Onyx on this thing but it seems I'm stuck with WM6.0 until I can unlock the damn CID.

Necro again, BUT.....
just wanted to say that I finally got around to trying this again. Running elf-uspl.exe from the root of C:\, performing a full factory reset and putting the phone in Airplane mode finally did the trick.
Thanks for all the advice here.

look in the upgrading etc. sub forum of the Wizard forums. There is a sticky there that is titled [READ FIRST] The Definitive Guide for Unlocking G3 Wizards. It will tell you everything you need to do to unlock your phone. Just don't skip any of the steps they are all important. There is no reason to pay someone $100 to unlock your phone, you can do it yourself in less than an hour by following these instructions. And by the information you have posted you have a G3 device which makes your life a whole lot easier.
goooood stuff just waiting for a friend to get back to me and ill swing over to his place since my windows 2000 machine here is junk.
i have to find out how to backup all my contacts though because i dont want to lose them. once i have the phone unlocked is it a good idea to overclock it and install WM6 ? i dont wanna kill my device though

umm, you could just connect to a pc and sync your contacts up in Outlook. There are also software options to back them up but database structure changes between WM5 and WM6 will make a restore impossible. Syncing them up through an activesync connection with a PC is your best bet for backing up contacts.
You could also copy them all to your SIM though I don't know if all fields are preserved if you do that.
As far as overclocking goes, I would suggest you use the battery status plugin and use application specific overclocking, as most things will not need or benefit from over clocking.
If you are flashing to CUSTOM rom make sure you CID unlock as well as the SIM unlock that you need to do so that you can use the phone. They are 2 different unlocks one blocks other carriers sims, the other blocks other carriers, or custom roms.
You should also back up your EXT Rom before flashing a custom or a different carrier rom. It will make recovering your GPRS/MMS settings and other carrier specific settings easier.
alrighty ive downgraded the rom to buttons cooked rom and tried to run the lokiwiz.bat and it doesnt do anything, i dont get a code or anything. I run it from the C:/ and press U to unlock and heres what i get:

Thatsbthe procedure to CID (not SIM) unlock a phone if I understand what you did. Since you are this far finish that procedure (use the sticky by Dr P found in Wizard upgrading). You can use the thread I pointed you to, to SIM unlock your device.
yeah i read that guide and downgraded the rom now when i boot i get these:
IPL 1.01
SPL 2.26
OS 1.5.4.2
GSM 01.12.10
when i run the lokiwiz it doenst give me any codes though, like when i hit the unlock.

CID unlocking won't give you codes, but make sure you follow all of the steps (your other post indicated some errors when you did the lokiwiz). Did you put enabler.rapi n your phone and run that first? Also make sure the lokiwiz files were placed right on the root of C:\ (just like Step 5 says).
Also, once you get the Lokiwiz unlock to work, then you'll need to do the button rom again to get the SPL down to 1.xx. Then you can move back to an official ROM (like T-Mobile 2.26). After you finish that, then do the lokiwiz .3a that was in the post I referred you to, and that one will give you codes.
yeah i ran that made sure it was installed on the phone. I also made sure i was guest when i sync'ed to the phone. lokiwiz was also in the C:/ directory and ran with the prompt like normal.
As far as i know im suppose to downgrade the rom from what i posted in #1 to button's rom. Which i have installed but my SPL is 2.26. When i get the unlock codes and they work i run the same Button rom installer to lower the SPL to 1.x then i can upgrade to a newer faster rom correct?
I know these seem like really newb questions and stuff but i THINK i have an idea on whats going on i just keep getting thoughs errors and no unlock code for the phone.
Kind regards,
Eddy
i never did a CID unlock though, and i still think i managed to downgrade to buttons rom? is that even possible lol?

Your IPL will go down then after you CID unlock you can flash it again and your SPL version will be the same as your IPL version.
Did you execute enablerapi on your device prior to choosing the selection in the lokiwiz menu?

Yes, thats how you do a CID Unlock. You downgrade to button. So thats fine and totally expected...

WHy do you keep saying about getting unlock codes. I've told you 2 or 3 times now that you will NOT get codes by doing this process. You run the lokiwiz once doing the U and the phone will reboot. Then you run it again doing the C and the phone will reboot. Nowhere in the instructions does it say that you will get codes. After you complete those steps, since your SPL is 2.xx, you have to do the button rom again and that should take your SPL to 2.xx (if it doesn't do it a few times until it does). Then (and only then) you can flash the T-Mobile 2.26 official rom to get your IPL/SPL back to 2.26. Then go back to the original post I gave you to do the actual SIM unlock (and thats where you will get codes.

Ok, if the IPL/SPL is only 2.16 no further 0001 like 2.16.0001,then its a G3 device,but if its 2.16.0001,then its G4.Note the last trailing three 000 and 1 at the last.
The difference Between G3 and G4 is the last trailing three '000's and 1 at the last.

thank you for the reply, have done scrolling down the links, got the answers. It was kind of you!marivik
nice thread
hi! thanks so much for the responses and feedback. this thread is so important for me, a newbie!
i've got a simple question, i hope someone of the users in here can provide me an answer. my IPL/SPL are both 1.01. therefore my device is G3,
the question are as follows:
1. Do I still need to downgrade with Button ROM? bearing the fact my IPL/SPL are already 1.01
2. Do I need to use Lokiwiz 0.2b to unlock my device. It is mentioned that 1.xx IPL/SPL are necessary for the upgrade process. since they are both 1.01, do i still need to do this?
3. Could anyone recommend me the "latest" and most less buggy ROM for me? i am very new to this, i really want to have a successful flash.
i will try flashing my device after this response. thanks alot
thanks a lot guys

Your phone has already got IPL/SPL 1.xx,therefore,there's no need to downgrade with Button's Rom,its essential to have 1.xx for SIM/CID unlocking.
YUP ! as your phone is still SIM/CID locked,so you'll have to use lokiwiz02b to SIM/CID unlock it for onward upgrade to wm6.You can also use WST_4.2.2 tool also to SIM/CID unlock the phone,but remember to have IPL 1.xx.
Just follow the guide posted in my above link to understand it correctly to unlock and upgrade.
Check out the 'Wizard Mobile 6' sub-forum for latest wm6.1 Roms.It all depends upon your own choice.
Good luck and happy flashing

zadardast thx a lot for your response. i was so excited yesterday, so i couldn't wait to flash it right away. however, with my lack of common sense... i upgraded my device first to the latest ROM available on clubimate.com
now my devise has IPL/SPL of 2.xx, which means i need to follow all the steps
knowledge (and common sense) is power, wish me luck wish the flashing
I downloaded and tried installing Faria's Windows Mobile 6 today, it failed exactly at 99%? Help please! All I then got was the red green blue screen. I am not sure how I managed to restore Windows mobile 5 back on the phone, had to kill some wcescomm.exe process again and again and got lucky I guess!
My cell phone is unlocked and I don't think I need to get anything unlocked, just need help on finding some decent Windows Mobile 6+ tom
Imate K Jam
IPL 2.16/ SPL 2.16

got it, my phone is cid locked, have to unlock that first, will try Faria's update after that

Upgrading the Wm6 to Wm6.1

i had HTC p3300 (atremis).
kindly help me to upgrade my mobile to WM6.0 to Wm6.1 (with latest ROM)
Current Specification
ROM version : 3.7.707.1 WWE
ROM Date : 21/06/2007
Radio Version : 02.69.90
Protocol verison : 4.1.13.30
EXtROM verison : 3.6.707.101
What dou you need?
Have you searched something?
Have you open the first posts on Artemis upgrading seccion?
I would suggest that before u upgrade ur phone read this thread properly to understand the procedures and risks involved in flashing a ROM http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...me=HTC_Artemis
1. In order to flash a ROM on ur HTC P3300 u 1st need to CID Unlock your device, that way u'll be able to flash a ROM on to ur phone REMEMBER to CID Unlock your device before doing anything otherwise u'll brick your phone. You can get the CID Unlocking software frm here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403.
2. After you are done wid the 1st step u've now CID Unlocked your device and it is ready for a ROM upgrade. Select and download a ROM of you choice frm here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...mis_DumpedRoms (I personally prefer the Black and Blue ROM http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=364883) flash the ROM on to your device and after the reboot u'll have WM6.1 .
3. Last I would recommend tht u also upgrade you Radio ROM (this is responsible for all the communication functions of ur phone i.e. calls, GPS, WiFi etc) which will enhance the communication capabilities. You can find the latest Radio ROMs here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index..._RadioUpgrades.
But please do read the thread i mentioned in the beginning.
Thank u for the reply...
i saw the first posts on Artemis upgrading section...
Its tells about the USPL and related to the upgradtion...
i have one more clarification regarding this..
did the Artemis_USPL pakage contains the ROM or not ?
No. The USPL does not contain the Rom for P3300

hello,
I CID unlocked my artemis 1 year ago,do i need to do it again ? if i want to upgrade a different ROM? or is ones enough
@leventero
No you dont need to CID unlock your device again if u have done it earlier...just proceed with the ROM flashing
@Neo Collin.
I believe the Black and Blue ROM is compatible with Artemis, since I flashed the ROM once myself and worked perfectly well. Unless you are looking at Black and Blue ROM for another device carrying a higher processor or maybe the screenshots are from some device other than Artemis and posted there for just a reference!! ...please never try flashing a ROM for devices other than Artemis!!...I hope that helps
@lunakrib
Yes you can upgrade you Artemis from WM5.0 to WM6.x, however there are a few things you need to know before flashing. (Prior to flashing your device I strongly suggest that you go through with this thread to understand the complications and other issues that you might face during an upgrade http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Artemis)
1. Before upgrading your device check whether the device is SIM or CID locked or both in some cases. The best way to check whether your phone is SIM locked or not is to insert a different SIM Card (from another operator), if that SIM card works properly means your device is not SIM locked and if the phone doesn't accepts the new SIM Card then probably the phone is SIM locked. Here is how you can SIM unlock your phone http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397718.
2. Coming to the second issue which is checking if the device is CID locked or not. Well the best way is to take a trip down to your memory lane and see if u have ever flashed a cooked ROM onto your Artemis (since you said that you are using WM5.0 on it, I reckon that your device is probably CID locked) if however you did flash a different ROM then you must have CID unlocked your device. But there is also a way that you can check whether the device is CID unlocked is when you turn on your phone, but it has been a while since I CID unlocked my device so i don't remember that, however here is the link where you can find the CID unlocking software and its procedure. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=311403.
3. Lastly just follow the steps I listed in my earlier posts in the forum about how to flash a ROM on Artemis. Here is a really nice ROM that you can flash on your Artemis http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=542428...it's a WM6.5
I hope this shall be helpful!! and my apologies for the late reply to all.

I updated my OS to 6.1 - Final Final Angel a week back. Then I updated the radio rom to 2.71.11 (check my signature for details).
I would strongly recommend you -
1. Use this link to re-flash your OS. Follow it step by step. Do not miss even a single step.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310831
2. Follow this guide if you have a CID locked device (most probably you do)
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329147
Please remember that you would need to do this small step everytime you want to do some upgrading because this is temporary. For eg. I did it once when upgrading OS and then again when upgrading Radio ROM.
3. This is the link to Final Final Angel -
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=468576&highlight=final+angel
I've been recommended this OS bya lot of Gurus and personally I feel that it runs great given the outdated (read ARM 195MHz CPU) hardware that I have.
Any doubts, queries, please feel free to ask. There are plenty of Gurus here to help out.
