How can i update my OS, im currently using
OS-5.2.21892 (21892).5.0.89)
i see alot of things only for WM 6.0-6.5,how can i get those updates?
any answers, or suggestions where to look would be greatly appreciated
If you have the T-Mobile USA you are running window 6.5 i thin the Euro version is 6.5.x but you What you are showing is your radion if i am not mistaken...so anything for 6.5 should work...the difference between those is the 6.5.x has the start button on the bottom among other things but that is the distinguishing factor. Hope this helped
Everybody is using the 5.2.xxxxx OS's.
If you want to use a new build, go flash a custom ROM as they incorporate the newest leaked builds in their ROM's.
Also, you are running Windows Mobile 6.5, even though there isn't anywhere that says 6.5, just know that you are.
Thanx, wasnt sure, thats why i asked, but now i know.
appreciate it.

New Questions here, old one at the bottom.
hi and thanks to everyone for your answers... you helped me a lot.
but:
I tried various 6.5 and 6.5.3 roms and found a lot of bugs in all of them... and that's not really my style. I want to go back to stock firmware 6.1 and there are not many options (or maybe i wasn't able to find them). Where can i find the Stock Firmware section or something like that, if they are unbranded even better, and if you can direct me to the latest one even better... i have installed the one from Orange in spanish meanwhile, i think it's Ver 1.57.75.3 found here. forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=566929 but if there are better unbranded ones i'll be very happy to install them... (how about this one: forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=521354).
Thanks a lot again in advance...
old Question:
Hi, i bought yesterday my new Opal and i have no idea how to update the rom to windows 6.5... I´m a bit of a perfectionist so i wanna get things right from the beginning, and i used to mod motorola phones so i understand some of the technical stuff, but htc is completely new to me.
So far, this is what i have understood:
to update:
1.- install hard_spl
2.- install custom ruu
3.- install new rom.
But i have a lot of questions on what is each one of those things and the advantages they give.
What does Hard_SPL do?
What is the Custom RUU for? (what is the RUU?)
What is the most stable and least customized rom with winmo 6.5? which rom is the most used by this forum?
What is titanium?
and last: how is the Opal unlocked? (if posible)
Mi goal is to update to winmo 6.5 but keep my phone looking as stock as possible and as stable as possible...
all the help i can get will be very appreciated...

Congrats for your Htc touch viva!
Ok now initially Htc touch viva has its official spl which would not allow your device to upgrade to custom roms. You can only upgrade to official roms. So Spl is a kind of lock To unlock that only we use Hard SPL After installing HSPL you can upgrade to custom roms.
And you understood slightly wrong because Ruu = Rom update utility its just a app which is used to upgrade your rom in your device. So u dont install that. After HSPL directly rom
And about the roms i cant say coz every one has different flavours try them all At last titanium is a new interface made by microsoft and introduced in wm 6.5 and above.
A Word of Caution....
I want to add one thing...(IMPORTANT!!!)
#1
WM6.5.x has not yet been officially released for HTC Touch Viva T2223.

#2:
If you are looking forward to experiment with it...go ahead on your own risk as your phone will be void of warranty after 'HardSPLing' it.

#3:
Don't think that a particular WM 6.5.x ROM will work for your device just because it worked like a charm on somebody's device. Believe it or not, though it may be the same model ex: HTC Touch Viva T2223, there are variations depending on the country.

I learned the hard way...I took a roundabout ticket....i HardSPLed my device, flashed custom roms, tweaked and played and fooled around with it and has come to a conclusion.

Stick with the Stock

I want to add one thing to what freelancer said:
Imo it is not ALWAYS the best to stick with the stock version. I had branded ROM shipped with my phone, hardSPLed it and installed custom translated unbranded ROM.
Does the same thing as branded ROM did but way faster. And some features like the HTC task manager didn't work with branded rom at all. Now everything works just fine.
I agree that stock ROMs are the best/fastest, but just not if you have a branded one. It slows down your device.
Just my opinion

Lol, who said that stock is rom is best as far as about opal you should go ahead with custom roms i have seen that custom rom gives more free ram then stock. Plus task manager in stock rom that can be done in custom also the thing is the more the rom is lite the more efficiently your device will work do you know the stock rom .nbh file size is more than 100 mb whereas a normal custom rom is around 90 mb if there are many app and you can create less than 50 mb stock rom also. Wm 6.5 is perfect for opal inface wm 6.5.x also.

#1 >>>>> And it will never be announced!!! LOL
#2>>>>>> Well actually not because you can return to stock SPL!!!
#3>>>>>>> WELL I have to disagree!!!! The hardware is all the [email protected]@@@ LOL
#>>>>>>>>HMMM It all bottles down to personel Taste,, bro
THE VERDICT!!!!
Custom Roms RULE!!!!!
i don't mean to disagree with you guys (you know better) but i didn't mean to say that WM6.1 v1-vx is bad but as far as WM6.5 is concerned....they have disadvantages like they are buggy and also consumes battery quite fast.
Appearance wise...WM6.5 is way ahead...but performance wise....I'll stick with WM6.1 anytime.
currently i am using WM6.1 v14 by PDAVIET it is nearly perfect!!!!
regarding differences in hardware...i was meaning the CARRIER...like Verizon, DoPoD, T-Mobile (MDA Basic), iDea (India) and so on...sorry...
regarding stockspl...mine was SPL 1.35.0000...i couldn't find any download link for that..

I read that there is version 6.5.5 of WINMO and i was told that my phone is version 6.5.
Im wondering if there is a way to update the operating system?
If there is, is it via a cooked rom is that what updating it for the OS?
If not is there a real big differense between the 6.5 and the 6.5.X OS versions?
Im a little confused when it comes to the back end of this phone and after reading about all the programs for the HD2 and some are made for different OS's it does get a bit hard to follow.
6.5.x Moves the start button to the bottom bar and makes all the menus, sliders and buttons bigger and more finger friendly.
You can update the OS by flashing a custom ROM, you can read about how to do it here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=609477
I think a lot of people prefer the 6.5.x OS and as far as i know there are only a handful of devices that actually have it flashed officially as a stock ROM.
where do you get it? i'm trying to make my own rom based on that build.
tried to search but come out with nothing.
thanks

There is no stock 6.5.X for HD2 only 6.5 sir
is there a wm 6.5/6.5.x rom without any customizations from HTC or others?... plain clean MS stuff...
So what is the best 6.5.x rom to use as a base when creating own rom for HD2?
After somthing that looks liek stock visually so I can adapt to suit my needs but back end should be stable etc.

As already stated many times, HD2 does not come with any WM6.5.x Stock ROM ...
What you need is a Wm6.5.x build + WM6.5 Stock ROM and mix them up...
Best way is to go through threads over at Chef Central : http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=612
Dude I know HD2 doesnt come with a stock 6.5.x rom, I didnt say or infer it did!
I was simply asking which is the best base rom(s) to use, didnt say say anything about using a hd2 stock rom.
Thanx for link though will check it out.
hi
I searched wm site, but couldn't find any information how to update hd2 wm6.5 to 6.5.3.
I don't want to flash any custom rom. Prefer to stay with official rom.
Any solutions?
there is only one solution, cooked rom.
@OP: Are you in the US and on T-Mobile?
in Turkey. unlocked.
The T-Mobile website has this file available for download for free, but you have to be a T-Mobile subscriber. The download asks for your IMEI number as well, so I'm not sure if this makes a difference. I suppose I could try to zip up the rom installer for you and upload somewhere, but I don't know what kinds of issues you'd run into, installing a US based rom on your device. You may just want to wait until a version is released in your locale.
Let me know your thoughts and I'll figure something out with you.
can anybody advice if that will cause any problem for making T-mobile update to a non-Tmobile device?
yes you can run tmous rom on regular hd2.
no, there is not a 6.5.3 official rom. if that is the implication two posts up, it is incorrect.
I have found on my experience that cooked ROM´s from great Chefs at XDA are always much better than stock ones, sai that and if you want to try them, read the sticky posts on ROM section.
If you want to go back again to stock you can do it with no problem.
Good luck,
I think Windows Mobile kinda scrapped the project its finish but seems like carriers don't care about updating their devices since not much change. That I know the only device running 6.5.3 its the sony ericsson Aspen and some motorola rugged phone for sprint.
Friends i hve htc elf 7 days ago i have installed onyx wm 6.5.x
now a question arises in my mind that in future if i want to go stock rom that is windows mobile 6 using shipped rom can i move to it.....
Because going from windows 6.5 to windows 6 is a type of downgarding.....
anyone answer..???
Hi,
I flashed my Elf and Elfin many times and I had no props with custom or shipped rom.
Maybe the ISP/SPL can make problems, if you installed newer ones.
These are my experiences.
Of course you can! But why go back from Rolls Royce to Subaru?
Want to go back to windows mobile 6.0 original....
what to do anyone tell me step by step
now i m having windows mobile 6.5 onyx.....
Find the original Rom for your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045325&postcount=2 and flash like you did with the Onyx

you're still using the subaru's machine even if you're using Rolls Royce chassis .
i think 6.5/.X consumes a little bit more energy than its predecessor.
and OMAP just can't keep up with the new upgrade, even with omapclockkeep
Right
I was thinking about the difference between Custom and Stock Rom
