i have recently done the rogers switch from dream to magic, and now i have both phones.
Turns out the magic they send u is the perfect spl 1.33.0010 32a.
I found a guide to change spl, but it requires htc sync
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=548096
However, I have windows 7 64 bit, and i cannot find the windows 7 drivers that will allow htc sync to view my phone.
I also tried the ruthless rooter, but it is not working, as I am getting i/o errors all over the place. I assume this is because of the drivers as well.
So, is there any way for me to a)get windows 7 drivers for the magic, or b)root it in a way that doesnt require the drivers on my computer
EDIT
K so i answered this question by doing the goldcard method that Amon_RA posted used this video to help mehttp://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/
/EDIT
Second question
I have all of my data in my htc dream. Can i restore the data.img from my dream to my magic, or would that cause problems?
Thanks in advance
Edit
I just synched the contacts and calendar to Google, sliding need the answer anymore.
/edit
EDIT
Third question
I have found a method to fix perfect spl that requires a goldcard, however this website states that a goldcard cannot be used as a regular card after it is made into a goldcard
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/14/how-to-root-your-mytouch-3g/
Is this true?
/EDIT
EDIT
I've found that this is not true. goldcard works just fine after
/EDIT
Thanks

Anybody install Helmi's ROM from Windows Vista?
I have trouble/ When i start bootloder on my BA, PC don't connect to mobile device
And i can't install ROM
I try install activesync, but that is impossible
You can't use RUU on vista with the built in drivers unfortunately.
There is a thread (search for it) and you will find out how to get it working.
Hey guys there is a WIKI!

how to upgrade ROM from VISTA
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723
Upgrade is done with the old activesync drivers ... thats why i hate vista, you have to do a lot of stuff to reach your goal
I conferm that the rom upgrade never worked on my pc with Vista. I was forced to use my laptop with Xp. I think someone should make blueangel update utilities compatible with Vista too
Or just keep an XP virtual machine in a safe place
i will post the steps for vista upgrade later, because i am lil busy
xplode?
Have you read the wiki already?) There is nice step by step tutorial - however if you can make some pictures It would be much better!
Follow the instructions in this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=291723&highlight=vista
I upgrade my ROMS in Vista using this method and it works every time.
i will made guide with pichtures but it will be after 5-6 hours , because i only have time at night

Kerio, your wiki is very good, but my device only be in bootloader mode, and, although the vista recognize my device, the program that i'm using do not run the instaler. It be only in the first screen and do not able to get informations about my device.
My device is only with serial and v 2.08 in the screen!!!!
Thanks,

Try to remove SD from your device b4 do the flashing.
Thats right SD card should be removed before flash (device may not go into "USB" mode when "cradled")
However I have made PICTURES and added them to the wiki (they are quite big and it doesnt look very well) but will improve it later

Hello this is my first post.
My English is not verry well.
Can anyone explain me step-by-step how to downgrade my Qtek 9100 from windows mobile 2006 to windows mobile 2005 ???
This is my first pocket pc . 10x
You should:
Navigate to your phone service provider website, and search for ROM on that site. They will (probably) provide an executable (.exe) that you can download.
If your phone has been HardSPL "unlocked" the hardSPL will have to be removed first (just search these boards for HardSPL Removal). You can tell if, during the phone's boot sequence, the phone's SPL is reported as 2.21.Olip or something else that ends in ".Olip"
Connect your phone to a Windows XP machine via USB and ActiveSync (do not use workarounds for any of this).
After it syncs, run the exe from your computer, NOT from the phone.
That should do it.
If you want to load a hacked version of WM5, search these boards. I'm sure you will find many alternatives with their own detailed instructions. One word of caution, though: When installing "Cooked" ROMS, be sure to READ ALL INSTRUCTIONS THOROUGHLY and UNDERSTAND THEM before attempting to do this, otherwise you'll own an expensive paperweight.
That's my 2¢. Your mileage may vary.

can any one send me a original disc via skype????
It might help if you told people what phone network you're on...just because you have a Qtek doesn't mean you're on their network, you follow?
Just purchsed the Orange M3100 phone but I cant sync it on my pc. Ive downloaded Windows Mobile Device Center driver for Vista 64bit. It doesnt pick up my phone. Please help, ive googled etc.
Running WM 5.
In settings>connections>usb to pc, uncheck "advanced network functionality". That might work...
Cheers...
also make sure its pluged directly into your pc (one of the ports on the back) not though a usb hub, thats the prob i had syncing my 3100
thanks ultramag69. it seemed to work
now can i use FREE HTC HERMES UNLOCKER v3a by pof using vista?
the instructions talk about active sync and windows xp but no vista
sorry but ive only used this phone for few hours
you can use the sd card method as described in its readme.txt that comes with it
thats the problem I dont have a sdcard yet. Just thought the XP instructions may work using Vista and WMDC.
I believe you need to update to the latest version of WMDC through my reading but you may want to confirm that. If you do a search through the wiki using terms like "vista activesync hermes" you should get a hit as it has been extensively talked about. Also please make sure you check what radio rom you have as unlocking the hermes will downgrade the radio rom to 1.16.00.10. MAKE SURE YOU KNOW WHAT RADIO YOU HAVE SO YOU AN PUT IT BACK...
If you want to use the sd card method (I find it safer than from the pc) then you need an sd card 2 Gb or smaller as though the OS can read a higher card the bootloader (the software in the hermes used to flash) can't. Don't forget to Hard SPL your hermes after you unlock it, I didn't need to do this but you can check by putting a sim from another carrier into your hermes. However, Hard SPL is a MUST. You can get instructions from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Sd card method on page 116, post 1160. It has all the apps needed to flash both through pc and sd card.
Then you're good to go for flashing a new os.Look into each os on your own, read the post and make up your own mind, DON'T ASK WHICH IS THE BEST..... There is no "best" for everyone, you need to choose on your own. As for the Radio Rom, I would suggest ONLY using the sd card method as if you flash this it the thing that is MOST likely to brick your device if something goes wrong. DON'T INTERRUPT THE FLASH FOR ANYTHING!!!!!
As stated the unlocking will change your radio rom.
Read carefully each step of the guides and don't skip anything and you'll be fine...
Welcome and happy flashing,
Cheers...
hi ultramag69. flashed the phone today and it worked fine. the only problem i have now is when trying to update to wm6 i just get the 4 colours screen and lose sync. same when trying to hard spl 2.1. any ideas?
Hi Guys,
Got a new htc hd2 from tmobile in the uk, got last years september rom on it and found that it had an old rom on it, needs upgrading and wanting to put a updated rom, but wanted a rom that had all the bells and whistles,
currently it keeps freezin when sending txts an randomly crashes, had a couple of them, an thought it was phone til i realised all software related an needs seriously updating, but thought would go the whole hog then not do it for a while lol
Never done this before and a bit of a noob, have been reading through the stickys, but still abit unsure
Wasnt sure wether i would be able to put windows 7 or android on it, so if need be will stick to just winmo 6.5 but wanted a rom that gave me some decent apps with it, like those power/cooked roms, but didnt know what to go for, what would be best
never installed apps before, apart from through windows marketplace,
So hints tips an a great step by step noobie guide would be great,
Cheers for reading

Rom!! ???
I'm not being rude, but you really need to search forum. There are lots of threads about just what you are needing. WM7 is not available,android,they are working on, no idea when. Give search a try. lots of info,,,,
I did search the forums, i have been searching, hence how i obtained the info,
i know there are a lot of different cooked roms, but nothing that can help me differentiate which to choose from,
tbh ALL I want on the rom is probably like an e-reader and a torch, anything else is a bonus lol,
but i cant seem to locate something that says this is the one that wont cause me any issues, i am tempted just to grab the stock rom off htc, as that should resolve most of the issues with the phone

thats probably your best bet until you are more comfortable with flashing.
Grab the 1.72 and go with customising that.

It will connect to usb while the phone is running, but as soon as it drops to bootloader the usb connection will not get passed back to xp.
you will not get hspl to work in a virtual environment or bootcamp. (or so i hear, i dont have a mac, i just read a lot )
You 'may' get flashing to work from bootcamp, but deff not hspl.
You will need to use a windows machine to instal hspl.

I resisted using a non "stock" ROM for a while, but I eventually got fed up with even the latest version that was released for O2 (1.72).
Yesterday I installed the Atermis v14 ROM, which I have to say stands head and shoulders above the standard release ROMs.
I chose it for two reasons, after looking on the "HTC_Leo/ROMs" page on the wiki attached to the site. First was that it was described as "Combines the latest WM 6.5.5 version with latest Manila 2.5.2012 (Leo 2.11) for HD2.This ROM Family is stable , fast and very close to stock ROM "Philosophy"." Second because it was first on the list
I found it really easy to install, using SSPL; you just put the downloaded ROM image and SSPL exe into a folder, connect your phone via USB with ActiveSync of Device Centre, and run the exe on your PC. There are pretty simple step by step instructions on both the SSPL and Atermis pages.
After installing Atermis I also installed S2U2 via a cab file, which gives me a different un/lock screen; again there's easy instructions, though you do have to play around with the S2U2 config app to get the behaviour as you might want (e.g. background image, time format, caller display). All straight forward though as you install the cab, then it's available via the start menu/app list. I like it because it's more responsive on wake up and allows direct access to messages, etc on unlock.
Unfortunately it seems all the ROM flashing apps are windows based (it's a windows phone after all...), so I doubt you'd have fun trying to flash a ROM with a mac. Probably simpler all round to borrow a friends PC for 10 mins!
If you are going to flash a new rom though, it's definitely worth backing up your contacts and messages, etc. Microsoft myPhone works for me, and comes pre-installed.
I have Eu HD2 which has the Stock Desire Rom installed and all is working fine but I would like to install a new ROM like one of the many that use Sense 3.0 or android 2.3.5. I would also like to have my SD card partitioned so I actually have space to install apps on my phone
How do I go about doing this?
PS- Sorry for the super Noob question :-/

Here.
Thats great cheers! One small problem at the moment is I can't get my phone to sync with my PC now. I can get it to connect and I can view the files on it in Explorer but it won't "sync" - any ideas?
I have Windows 7 64bit
reinstall the drivers for activesync
That instruction about syncing / getting an active sync connection doesn't mean what it appears to mean. It simply means get a USB connection.
Put phone in bootloader, connect to USB, when word. "Serial" becomes "USB", that's an activesync connection and you can flash.
