Hi my friends, My neme is Leonardo, I have a HTC viva with WM 6.1, and works fine. I'd like to upgrade the rom to english in the same version or to 6.5 english, but I've reading the forum for hours, but I got doubt because the version changes each forum I read.
My questions are:
Sould I keep the version 6.1, but just update that to English? I have an Portuguese on it. If do, where I can find the last version of it?
If you think is better change to 6.5, please link me the last version of it.
Witch risks I have to upgrade my cellphone?
On more question, Do you have an step by step to upgrade the version, and how to backup my current SO in a PENDRIVE or other divice, in order to get the original configurations back if I sell it?
Sorry for disturb yourselves, but I prefer ask before do any thing that can brake my phone forever.
Thank you very much all.
Kind rigards.

hello leonardo....welcome to this great forum.
before you can upgrade your WM6.1 to 6.5 and above, you need to HardSPL your phone in which case you lose your warranty but there is a way to overcome that. The stock SPL 1.35.xx.x is available for download. I can upload it if you require it in the future. If you restore the original SPL along with the stock ROM (which is readily available) you can always fall back to your original phone state. The guide to flashing is here

if you want to experiment and try out WM6.5, go ahead but bear in mind that the CHEFS (those experts who 'cook' custom ROMS) are yet to come up with a bugfree WM6.5 ROM.
and lastly, please don't just start a new topic for just one questions. seach in relevant forum/sub-forums/threads. I promise you that they will answer your questions and give you confidence in how to go about doing things with your WinMo.
neway...goodluck to you. and remember that the experts (not me!!!) will be always ready to answer your questions.

Hey all,
I'm a newbie to cell phone mods, the question has probably been asked before, I searched for a couple of days but cannot find how to switch OS (WM6 pro) to English.
The phone works with Canadian sim card, just have a hardtime with French version.
Could anyone point me in the right direction?
Do I need to install a new OS?
Read something somewhere about modifying Rom, but not excatly sure how to do that.
Any help would be appreciated.
I am located in Canada, HTC touch Elf comes from France.
Thx!
P.S
I have MSN & Skype, if that would be easier
Flashing you HTC Touch from French ROM to any other ROM
Hi,
If you understand French, follow the link below. It has everything you need to flash your Touch
http://win-mobile.forumpro.fr/htc-p3450-htc-touch-elf-f40/tuto-bien-flasher-son-touch-elf-et-elfin-t14638.htm
Had a French ROM when I bought my ELF, flashed to Blue Elves 5.0 without any problems, then went on to try other ROMs, just make sure you got the proper flashing procedure sorted - all in the WiKi.

dear can u help me to update my elfo100 to english rom when i update elfo100 then give error that invalid vendor id plz give me some useful and simple trick to do that image version is 2.27.164.2
gsmexpert1:
Please read the stickies in the rom section, or the elf wiki. These have your answer.
You'll want to CID unlock, dump your current rom etc, and flash a WWE rom (onyx etc.) Make sure you run DSIXDAs device_Info.bat so you know what you are dealing with easier, and also to make sure if it is genuine HTC.

Hi, I have elfin (HTC Touch) and I have Windows Mobile 6 professional and I want to upgrade it to 6.5 so can anyone type me a link so I can download the ROM directly because there is more than one ROM in the forum and I'm afraid to download a wrong one so please help me...thanks
First you read this guide completely.

I read it well and I knew big information about my elfin but really I don't know how to start please tell my what to do first I can tell you the info about my elfin
ROM Version:2.20.707.1B WWE
ROM Date:10/02/07

EXT ROM Version:2.20.707.101
Windows Mobile 6 Professional

mind my sarcasm...but he meant to say...to upgrade your device without damaging it...you will need to follow some instructions....and if you read it well and if you are a sane guy...then you would atleast EDIT your POST and remove the god damn IMEI of your device....people dont give away their IMEI jus like that you know...its something only you should know...and jus so you know...i m not trying to piss you off cos you are as we call a newbie....so here is a breakdown of what you need to do
1. your device is an ELFIN...so we know
2. jus like you unlock your sim to use your phone...you need to unlock your device...(so that it becomes writable)
3. to do so...you would need to make use of a part of software called USPL and IPL...USPL does the part of keeping your device unlocked...and IPL needs to remain the same series....if you flashed a USPL of 3.XX then your IPL shud be 3.XX series
4. now do the reading on your own this time and discover all flavours of 6.5 ROMS available here....
btw i wonder why you havent tried the official 6.1 ROM from HTC
thanks so much, first i don't know even the difference between the 6.1 and the 6.5 but when i saw some topics about 6.5 and the people said that it works better with the HTC touch so I think in that, now i made a backup ROM from the one i have is that good step and i already downloaded 2 different ROMs from the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552371 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540)
but how can i make the device rewritable is there a application i can download? and what's your opinion to upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5?

Tht's a good thing to backup your Original ROM, should be helpful in case of errors, bricking or re-servicing. (though i forgot to do mine )

Click to expand...

There's is no problem about being not rewritable or sort! Once you CID unlock and upgrade your IPL/SPL, you can upgrade or degrade your device to any ROM you like whenever u like!
About opinions, there are alot of people here and would obviously have their own different opinions and so you will have too! I'd ask you to try out ROMs yourself and use the suitable one you choose. If you'd like to have a stable ROM, i'd advice you to use the 6.1 ROMs and if you'd like to have newer latest builds, you can go for the 6.5 ROMs (which have been optimized to their best stable by respective cooks). In the end, its up to you which you choose as your BEST ROM!
PS: Do read if the ROM is suitable for your device, in this case- Elfin and few FAQs posted out by the ROM cook. Respect others work and last but not least Read & Search before asking Questions!!
Thank you very much I finally upgraded my elfin to windows mobile 6.5 and it's awesome but i still have one more thing i want to make it read and write Arabic language without convert the whole interface is there a patch? I already searched about that and i found a file but it's not an application and I don't know how to use it. before that in my old 6.0 i downloaded an application when i install it, it solves the whole situation then i tried it with the 6.5 but the start menu won't open after i installed it so i formatted the ROM.

hi, first of all, the backup you have done is probably not ready to be flashed, so whatever you do, dont flash that again or u will brick your phone.
arabic? take a look at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
and finally, i think it will be better if u update ur ipl to 3.10 too.
thanks crapula512 but what you mean with the backup not ready to be flashed? is there any other step ?

what he means is....you may brick the device with the backup you just created. so if you wana restore your original...which is the one you have backed up now...you should and can only flash that by making use of USPL or HSPL...search the forum for USPL and HSPL...and you will be given guides...
btw...you really like writing in bold letters eh...kinda makes us feel we are blind...

Don't worry. Also I bought my HD2 from Taiwan. Official Rom was Taiwanese. Now, I use Customized rom which is English
Firstly you need to install HSPL, and then you can install any of customized rom. It's very easy. You can use an English rom in few minutes. I use XannyTech Pandora 1.6 and I'm very happy with this rom. You should use too.

before you install hspl to your hd2, you must back-up your Official Stock rom, so that you will have no worries uninstalling your hspl by flashing to sd card....
Hi volkansa, Thanks for help to answer my question.
Dio you mind to give me the link and instruction to do this HSPL and how to back up the original ROM just incase I got in trouble. Im very rookie on this
Thanks
Actually, I don't know any backup tool for full rom. But you don'y need to backup current rom. If you install HSPL, you can use any customized rom when you are any trouble. For example My first rom was crashed, and I downloaded another customized rom and I had easily install another customized rom with CustomRUU.exe file.
- For HSPL instruction, you should check first page of HTC Leo: HD2 > HD2 ROM Development section. You will see "[HSPL] How to Flash Everything " on that section. Then click it the link.
- and find the link of HSPL.zip then download and install it from your computer while your phone connected to your pc with ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center which are depends your Windows Operation System. If you use XP you should use ActiveSync; if you use Vista or Windows 7 you should use Windows Mobile Device Center.
- After installation your phone will restarted and then it will be ready for new customized roms.
- Now you need to get backup of your personal datas such as Messages, Contact List, Call Logs, Speed Dial records etc. I use PimBackup utility for them you can try it, if you want. It's very easy. And also you should use Storage Device for backup. It's very important. If you use main storage, you will lost your backups after flashing new rom.
- Then pick you favorite roms and download it. Then use instruction of that customized rom. That's it. You have a new rom

Is it possible to install WM 6.5 on the HTC Touch 3G?
How can I do?
Is there any toturial for noobs like me?
The mobile phone operating system by what is understood by a rom? Is that it?
After the installer is possible to change to Portuguese?
Sorry it both ways.
The fact that a big NOOB.
And my English.
Cumps for all users
yes its possible. first thing you need to do is install hardspl, this CID unlocks your device and will allow you to flash any rom.. Search it here as its VERY important you know what it does and how to install it.
next you can find a winmo 6.5 cooked rom from here, and maybe one with Portuguese language, Again , search for it. i would do it for you , but its close to my bedtime
