Upgrade from wm5 to wm6

hi, i have a tmobile artemis with wm5 on it, when i try downloading the upgrade file from the htc website.
when i put in my serial no it shows: Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device.
not sure if it's just my phone not bein able to handle the software or just the fact that i got it from tmobile, not htc.
would anyone be able to post a solution to this, or the actual upgrade file, if it's possible to get it to work?
many thanks.

Either go to T-Mobiles website and try to download a WM6 ROM from them. Or go to the wiki, read about USPL and then download and flash the HTC ROM from the links in there.

thanks for the reply, sorry im kinda new to this.
finally got it to work, tried a few times not sure if it's me takin out the sim card or just plain luck but its all workin now

Sprint 6700/WM6.1/Diamond Upgrade

Hi Everybody and Anybody,
I know go ahead this is stupid. This has been posted before and so forth, but i'm freakin frustrated of looking and I can't seem to find a way to upgrade my dang 6700 to WM6.1. Please anyone post if you have have or had a 6700that you were able to successfully ugrade. The whole bootloader and radio thing is just to complicated for me. I can never get that to upload correctly on my phone. It always gives me this connection Error 260. Please anyone help. I have a Sprint 6700ppc w/ Helmi's Apache WM6.0. I have bootloader 2.02 with radio 1.27. And if you were able to get that dang diamond cab to work let me know as well. Please anything a tutorial anything.
Thanks,
Walt

Forget the diamond cabs, at this point they are just not compatible with the 6700. Maybe there is hope for this one day, any developers know if there is any possibility of a future version being compatible? But as far as getting WM6.1 I've got it on mine.... visit www.ppckitchen.org and download the newest BuildOS update it and be sure to choose your bootloader version, works like a charm! also this should probably be posted in the 6700 forum and not in DEV

I Want To Upgrade My Sprint 6700 To Window 6.1 So How Do I Do It

Rom upgrade for HD2 from o2 (UK) - won't let me!!!

Hi guys, anyone know the way to overcome this?
How to upgrade to a higher ROM?
Even HTC's website won't let me downloading the ROM saying that the upgrade aren't for this device!!!
Please!
p.s. sorry I'm new to winmo...
regards!

use a gold card in sd slot or just install HSPL first

wtf is a gold card? i keep seeing people refer to it but never what it is, i imagine its a sim card with a toffee penny wrapper stuck to it lol

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=591314
Basicly its a sd card with its unique serial number run though some software but as its no longer free just use hspl if you dont have a goldcard.

Forget about the goldcard, you don't need one so long as you have a copy of the original rom available, which you do. Hunt it out in the official roms forum. First post, first link, 1.43 section, its listed there. Thats your backup, then instal hspl and you can flash what you like.

Your HD2 is locked to o2 (UK) ROMs only so you cant put any of the official HTC ROMs or any of the custom ROMs from the "HD2 ROM Delvelopment" forum
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
because of this your always be running out of date software as the phone operators are always so slow at releasing updates if they do at all.
BUT if you download HSPL from the above forum thread "[HSPL] HowTo flash everything"
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=611433
and install it to your phone your then be able to put on any ROM you like. Don't worry its near impossible to muck anything up and you can always put the phone back to its original rom, just do a little reading if your still not sure.

Great Guys! HSPL helped!!! I've upgraded...shame I can't manage to download Rom 1.66 as it always crashes and the download in general is sooo slow (not the internet issue)...but maybe with a bit of patience I'll get it at the end!
Cheers once again!!!

HTC have now listed a new ROM upgrade (1.72.206.3 released 27/04/10) for the HD2 on their UK support website (htc.com/uk)
Let me know how you get on with it as when I enter my o2 serial number I still get the error message you mentioned. I have sent a message to HTC support...just waiting for a reply.

all you o2 guys that cant down load have been able to get 1.66 from htc's site for months now this rom is purley for the forgoton few (like me) who got the phone as o2 launched and locked down (no wifi router etc) I ran this rom for a day and it nice and snappy fast but its still not wm 6.5.3 so i am back on touch-x again now the 2.07 radio in the o2 rom was quite ok in my area when I used it a few months ago but the 2.10 in my opionion is a match for recption with better battery life just my 2 cents hope it may help some of you

What about Virgin Mobile? Will they get a Rom Upgrqade???? they seems to have been left out of the loop even though they were the first (technically second) carrier of the phone.

information
herm100
ipl-1.01
spl-1.04
assistance required plz

Here are things to try:
1- try soft-resetting the phone
2- if that doesn't work, try hard-reset the phone,
instructions for both are here:
http://www.howtoreset.com/HTCUnits/HTCHermes
You really should be using the latest Hard SPL, and you should be reading the threads here that instruct how to successfully flash your device...
