Is WMDC required for Custom ROM flashing ? - HD2 General

Hi,
A noob question.
I just ordered a HTC HD2 and I plan to install a custom ROM on it. I'm wondering if WMDC is required for that or just ActiveSync 4.5 will do (I only have XP on my PC).
Hope someone can help me out here.
TIA,

ActiveSync 4.5 is what you need, WMDC is for Vista/7

Verizon Ozone (Cedar) questions

Hey guys,
I'm planning on flashing my phone to [WM6.5 STD 23017][Build 3VO.1.60.090109] from ookba. But I have two questions.
I read that there is no original ROM to flash back to if something goes wrong. Is this true? If so, if worse comes to worse and the latest ROM does not work for some reason... what are my options?
Also, will the flashing process work with an x64 OS? I'm running Windows 7 Professional x64 (RTM), I've heard that x64 doesn't fare well with flashing.
Thanks!
I use XP 64 bit with no problems.
I used Windows 7 professional x64 to flash my snap without any problems.
Yeah, nevermind, it worked fine. Thanks guys.

Unable To Update HTC HD To Windows Mobile 6.5

I downloaded 2 or 3 different ones from this website and everytime I try to update from windows mobile 6.1 to 6.5, it just stays at 0% and after a few mins says error?
How exactly do I safely update to windows 6.5?
Thanks

Read and follow this step-by-step guide
Hi, many thanks for your reply, however after many hours of trying to do a simple task, it is just not working.
I have windows 7 x64 unfortunately and I'm running into many different problems.
I cannot even use the USPL because of driver signing, even after disabling driver signing, I cannot update the HTC Touch HD driver.
Everytime I attempt to run USPL it does not detect my device, even after following the steps.
Hi there,
do you get any specific error codes that are reported while you attempt to flash?
Also check to make sure that you have your anti-virus software disabled, if enabled.
You running as admin? Activesync installed properly? Tried front and back usb ports? Net framework up to date?
If it's already detected by windows then just Hspl it. You can flash away and never need to worry about doing it every time you change a rom or flash a radio after that.
The only thing I needed to change to get mine running in Win 7 to Hspl it was just to run as admin. But then you need to do this for just about everything anyways.
Hi everyone, many many thanks for your support.
You sent me a link on what to do and it actually worked, I now have windows mobile 6.5 on my htc touch hd thanks to you people.
I however, had to do this update on a spare laptop that had xp, I had too many problems doing it in windows 7 x64.
I firstly installed microsoft .NET Framework 3.5, then ActiveSync, and finally HSPL to flash the rom to Blackstone something and now I'm just installing Blackstone energy on my htc touch.
Thanks once again for everyones effort to help. One final question, will windows 6.5 Blackstone energy run MUCH faster than my current 6.1?
Reason I ask is because as of now, my htc running windows mobile 6.1 is very slow and sluggish, what will I expect from the new 6.5 Blackstone?
Hi again mate,
glad you got it working.
For information on the latest 6.5 and 6.5.x builds, please read this link to help you make your own decision.
I suggest you try different ROMs and see what one suits your needs. There's alot of fast ROMs out there
Thanks, I will check out that link.

Windows 6.5 or 7

Can anybody tell me how i can get WM 6.5 or 7 on my HTC Touch Diamond?
Where do i find it and how do i install it? I currentlly have WM 6.1
Thanks!!
Someone would tell you to use the search engine, but im also new on this board.
Windows Mobile 7 is not released until now. Windows Mobile 6.5 or 6.5.5 you will get on this board. Its important that you save your Files from the Phone before you flash it. Its also important to have .Net Framework 3.5 on your PC or you will get an error from RomUpdateUitility in Windows. I had this problem yesterday when i was flashing in WinXP and i tried a new installation. Get the installer from the Microsoft Hommepage: microsoft. com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=333325fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6
IMPORTANT: You have to erase the space between microsoft and .com. You have to do is at ervery link i posted. Because its not allowed to post links for new members like me and so it works only this way.
Now you need HardSPL, a bootloader, from here: forum.xda-developers. com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705
I installed this version yesterday, its unsigned but it works.
Here you have a howto to flash HardSPL, Radio and Rom: modmydiamond. info/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=4&id=13&Itemid=26
Then you can flash your Radio to a new Version, get it from here: rapidshare. com/files/353046193/1.17.25.09-SR.rar.html - this is the newest Version i have found, but if you have Problems with it use 1.09. Users on board say thats the best one (but older): megaupload. com/?d=JRJVNC4U
And now what you really want, to flash a new Rom. Its works the same way like HardSPL and Radio flashing. You will get a lot of roms with WM 6.5.x on this board, but you have to look. The are all a little different. Here some examples:
forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=517300
i dont have use this but i try to flash it today
forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=635028
is see it now for the first time.
forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=648771
Finally you will get all this Roms here by searching the board:
forum.xda-developers. com/forumdisplay.php?f=430&order=desc
If there are questions, reply in this thread and i will answer in time.
Hope i could help you and sorry for my bad english
The Diamond is not have the hardware to support 7. Plain and simple. There are countless of ROMS available on the board... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=430
But becareful as the roms don't work for both GSM and CDMA. Do some research.
These steps that you have to do:
1.Do hard spl 1.93 by olinex. (do MTTY also if you can)
2.I flash more than 5 wm6.5 ROM, This is the best http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593678.
3.Do hard reset after flashing any ROM. Flashing ROM will DELETE all your data.
Wm 7 has not been released, But if you want wm7 theme, check this out http://www.mobilecustom.fr/forum/index.php/topic,4007.0.html. Good luck:
