Hey all, n00b here. I am currently on the official Verizon WM 6.1 Release, but would like to use one of the newest WM 6.5 custom ROMs that have been put together here.
Forgive my complete ignorance, the Wiki seems to be down at the moment and I just need some guidance.
What displays on the screen when doing a soft reset is the following:
M 09
B 03
P DCAAXOM-4350H
R 3.37.75
D 3.57
I understand that the basic steps are:
1) Unlock Phone
2) Update Radio
3) Flash ROM
First question: Does my radio need to be updated, based on the info above?
Second: Do Olipro 2.40 and nueSPL effectively do the same thing (i.e. unlock the phone)
Third: What utility does one use to load up the pre-packaged ROMs?
Fourth: Can I capture my existing OS setup as a backup somehow?
Thanks in advance.

Hello to everybody. Hope it's not to annoying that i try it here. I read in the forum and in the tutorials - but it's still very confusing. Would be happy to read some answeres...
I have a new Vario II (latest model) and try to figure out some details.
1. I would like to upgrade to WM6 and found the Rom's posted here. I also read all the tutorials but i didn't find a final answere to this: When i flash the rom with a rom version posted here to just try - can i downgrade it to the original one? Sure there is a "Original Shipped ROM Version" of T-Mobile as the assumption is written in the tutorial.
2. I am just irritated because i read of some bootloader versions that are not downgradable. Is this still the case? Is the bootloader updated by a rom update? And if not when and why it is or should be updated? For what exactly the bootloader is needed?
3. I am using Windows Vista (but i also have an Computer with XP). I read all about the problems with this because of the missing Active Sync. Does this affect also the procedure of updating the rom? Will future versions be compatible with the "Windows Mobile Device Center"?
4. I am also irritated to read about radio rom updates. Are they includet in full rom updates? Why are there so much updates of the radio rom that are not given by the single providers? Are the radio roms all the same for all versions of the hermes and all the languages? is an radio update downgraded when i go back to my original rom? If not is it able to downgrade it in every version?
Sorry for alls this noob questions. It's a very new material for me and i hope to be a little more experienced in a few weeks...

Hi and welcome
Have you read our Mrvanx guides. I suggest using his guided process particularly if you do not have experience in flashing. See here:
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=section&id=7&Itemid=27
Look to the main menu on the page.
and look on the wiki here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
Mike
Thank you for your answer.
That was what i did. But the questions were still there...
[1] Hmm..yes it is possible (and there is always a "but"), but if you do upgrade it to wm6 (And the rom is not official (or not from t-mobile itself)) you will lose your guarantee on your device. So if you want to downgrade it to wm5 again you need to find a wm5 t-mobile rom (and there are alot of threads with links to download those t-mobile wm5 roms) or you could backup your rom that is on your device, but thats another story.
[2] As far as I know, POF (he's a smart-ass member) has a new bootloader and its possible to downgrade. (or you flash your wm5/wm6 (any rom for the hermes) with your sd card so you dont need a bootloader. Click)
[3] I used Vista to! And there are no problems if you READ this, Mrvanx guide!
[4] You can be irritated as much as you want but I think you're talking bull****. You can flash any hermes radio on you device but the point is, every radio is different for each person. So you need to find out what radio is best for you. And if you dont have any problems with your existing radio, why flash it?
I just flash everything on my device because I think its fun to see what happens..
everything you do with your device when i comes to flashing; IS ON YOUR OWN RISK! So dont blame us when you blow up your device.
Have fun..
I have just bought htc touch hd with dansih OS rom. the phone is locked to danish 3g (www.3.dk).
#1. Any thing I need to take care to flash a new OS on a locked phone?
#2. Do I need to find&save the configuration for 3g setup thus after I
flash to english OS, I will still be able to call&surf?
#3. How could I backup the complete ROM thus when something goes wrong
I could revert to original ROM and retrun the phone?
I tried to find the answer int he forum, but failed. Thanks in advance for your answer.
Now I started to get some answer to my own question:
#1. I will need to have SSPL or HSPL to flash my rom to another language
I prefer to SSPL.
#2. The phone will still be locked to 3.com after flashing which I don't care
Still questions:
#1. Any setup related to 3.com for internet surfing?
#2. How I could backup original ROM and revert to the original ROM?
I am living in DK and got the same phone from 3.
Used USPL when flashing, and no problems at all.
The phone will automatically get 3;s settings from the network.
The original Danish rom is available in the rom development forum in one of the stickies
Thank you for the answer. I will try to flash it then.
Just a piece of advice - MUST read wiki pages regarding flashing ROMS. This will enable you to flash the device with confidence and will prevent any possibility of DAMAGE you may cause during flashing.
Credit to those pages goes to respective authors.
Thank you. I have just successfully flashed HD to the latest english version
with the advice from wiki and you.
Everything works fine.
Got another couple of questions:
#1. What is the difference of "fully power off" from "soft reset"
#2. GPS and AGPS. How does GPS work in HD?
Is that possible to turn it on/off manually to save power if navigation is not needed.
#3. Do you have any recommendation of a cooked ROM? My taste is to have a lite version. e.g.: I don't really need google maps which I could install at any time when needed.
Thanks.

No worries
When you as a question you're stupid for about 10 seconds, if you don't ask you're stupid forever. The IPL/SPL thing is regarding your boot loader. Doing a hard SPL is a great saftey measure that can be explained as you read about it. You wanna head here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=358225 to find out more on Hard_Spl'ing your wing
The cab collection is a great place to start... great lil honey pot of cabs you can throw on your wing. Outside of there, it's a combonation of imagination, search engines, and making sure the app is 96 dpi/qvga compatible. Hope this information is helpful for yah
Thnx for the reply..

And I believe your O2 Terra phone IS equivalent to the Wing, BUT, I am not positive. Try to do some research on it before you blindly flash. If it is said to be the Herald/P4350/Wing, then flash away, and you can get your ROM's from The Wingster or on the forums here.
Feel free to ask more questions. The guides I linked you to are the best written guides on the forums, so you should feel very comfortable with them (thanks to Apreincher for writing some of them!)
ok thanks a lot..i will read all and try..but can you also say what are the advantages of Rom 6.5 or 6.1???

6.5 = Windows Mobile 6.5 - More finger friendly, new today screen, etc.
6.1 = Windows Mobile 6.1 - This is basically what came with your phone. You get about 1-2 MB more free RAM with 6.1, but I recommend WM6.5 because it has better features.
Click on the links, and then click on some of the ROM's there, and watch the slideshows to see what you're going to get. Then decide.
Programs - All programs and data will be LOST when you flash a ROM. Back up your contacts/calendar/tasks/etc with your PC through Outlook, or use Microsoft MyPhone to save them wirelessly. For your programs, you will have to reinstall them.
ok..now i can see and decide..Many thsnks
I have a friend who has a Verizon Titan with a stock wm 6.0 ROM...I have no idea what to do to this phone in order to upgrade it to 6.1 with touchflo, or even 6.5...
I'm very familiar with GSM phones (all have been HTCs...I have unlocked, Hard spl'ed, flashed reflashed and flashed again) However, no matter how many times I have read the Wiki, I'm still very confused as to which HSPL to use...and then comes the radio....and easiest the ROM...
I would like this to be an easy transition, and I don't want to brick her phone (or make it non functioning)
So, if someone could be so kind to this senior Titan noobie,
I need the HSPL for a stock Verizon rom
whatever the recommended radio is...
Just point me to the link and...is it via Activesync or through the mem. card?
And, am I reading this right...that it has GPS? I loaded igo8 on it some time ago, and Igo never found any hardware (port)...how does this get to work.
Thanks again.
Moved as not ROM Development.
I have HTC P3300 and it came with WM6 with the following config.
ROM : 3.7.701.1 WWE
ROM date : 6/21/07
Radio : 02.69.90
Protocol : 4.1.13.30
ext Rom : 3.6.707.101
Now i want to upgrade it to WM6.1
I SEARCHED THRU MANY POSTS. i got so many answers to my questions but i have some fundamental questions and if anybody can answer that i will be really obliged.
1) I have vodafone India. Can i flash a ROM which is for another carrier. For eg. when I searched the thread "Artemis_Upgrades" I could not find any HTC WWE factory ROM which matched the above specs. BUT when i saw the factory ROM of DOPOD WM6. It matched the above specs perfectly.
so the basic question is if anything goes wrong in my upgrade then can I flash the DOPOD rom on my HTC
2) I have searched the forums but i could not find a valid factory WM6.1 ROM. If anybody can provide a link then it would be a great help to me. Please also specify which ROM (dopod or any other) is compatible to my HTC.
3) Once i get both the above factory ROMs (WM6 and WM6.1) i will be flashing my HTC and the steps that i would follow is as mentioned in this post
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=401814
1) soft -reset using the USPL
2) flashing the ROM.
Please let me know if I need to do anything other than this!
Thank you in advance.
I suggest reading through this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=870041

pmsl neo, loving the xda spirit hahaa
bhaskaramp
follow the link that neo gave you and flash your p3300 with uspl1.11.cmon.
you cant go wrong if you follow the steps on my thread in post 1.
(post 1... here...)
if it does not work, or if you have any questions, just message me, im always here to help.
*do not try anything untill you have sucessfully done uspl1.11.cmon.
Sooo.. the point im trying to make is: you wont even need the original/official rom once you have got uspl1.11.cmon installed.
eg, if you flash a rom and it goes wrong, uspl1.11.cmon will let you flash ANY rom, so the original/official rom is not even needed!
Rn
i know i said it before but ill say it again: im always here to help
And that's that.
