Update Util?

Hi!
I wana flash WM6 on my unbranded Artemis.
Already installed USPL and downloaded a ROM, wich is a rar file "ARTE_WWE_WM6.rar" containing "OS.nb"
So what to do with that OS.nb?
I think I will need a Utility to flash that ROM to my device right?
Where to get it?
Thanks!

I propably need a ROM which includes a Utility?
I do not even know which WM6 ROMs there are.
Which one would you recommend?

I suggest you switch from the upgrading section to the Mobile 6 section of this site. There is a lot more info about WM6.
Basically (I don't intend to be complete) there are three flavours: Bepe's ROM, the PDAVIET Black and Blue ROM and, since a few days, a ROM that comes close (or is?) the HTC ROM. They are all different so you have to decide which one you like the most. They all have popular threads with lots of enthousiast users, more or less. Happy reading!

Okay I now got the PV Black&Blue v3 - which is great for me!! (though I dont know the others)
but the HTC Home Today Plugin takes so much space
If there were just the clock ...

Newbs: cooked rom or cab install? And go back?

Hi all.
I've bought an herald (P4350 in Italy) for my wife. I've registered the product to htc club and i've installed windows mobile 6 in italian.
Now i've read some thread as:
Newbs guide to Herald modification *updated* 10/18/07: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327046
and:
All you need on your Wing: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=326655
If i've understood well, the first option means overwrite the OS i've just installed with another one with (impressive) features (as touchflo, cube interface, kayser like apps) preinstalled.
The second means collect some apps and install it (maybe it's possible htc home, even touchflo but certainly not cube's interface).
Well, due to limitation of the second way (cube's interface for example), i'd like to try the modified rom (cooked?), but i've some questions:
1) First of all, is it true that i can have all the functionality of the "Touch-IT,WWE v1.1" or similar cooked rom only by flashing the rom or i can found ALL the functionality by installing some apps?
2a) If 1) is false where can i found ALL the apps for doing the same things as well as in a cooked rom?
2b) If 1) is true, can i flash with Touch-IT rom my italian device with italian WM6 installed?
2bI) If 2b) is true, after trying Touch-IT rom can i reinstall my WM6 italian rom by double-clicking on the file downloaded from htc club? If not is a way to rollback to the original rom?
2bII) If 2b) is false (but also if it's true because i prefer the OS in my language ), PLEASE Itje make a Touch-IT,IT where the second IT meas ITALY

1. While you can have the apps, touch-it is built on a newer, more streamlined version of windows mobile 6.
2a. see 2b
2b. You can flash the WWE. I believe there was some effort to get a native language port, ask itje about that.
2bI. Yes. I believe the HTC club one is an RUU, a "Rom Update Utility". If you mess up in the flashing, you can use it restore from bootloader also
2bII. Again, ask itje.
wow that was confusing. Outlines are like hell on a apple.

fzzyrn thanks a lot for answers.
1. So u think that i can have also cube interface by installing an apps? Wich one?
2b. how can i contact itje for a native language port?
Again, thanks a lot for helping me.

i believe there are like flash-based emulations of the cube. Look in the main software development forum.
To contact Itje, private message him. Click on his name and then it should be obvious to extent

Some basic questions from the n00b

Hi. I'd like to start with saying that this may have been answered already, but it is possible I haven't hound it yet. I read these:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=505377
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=480271
and still haven't found an answer to my question (maybe I didn't pay enough attention? If so, sorry, and point me straight to the ansers, please )
1) Anyway, I'd like to know what is exactly the purpose of flashing my phone with a new unofficial rom. I assume that because it is unofficial, it lets me run some homebrew software from here, right? (I haven't really read much about this, but I see there are nice tweaking tools, and I like the new touch keyboard as well)
2)
* And what if the benefit of a new rom, in general? Stability fixes? usability additions? What is this rom? Is this like a new touch flo 3d version, or is it independent from UI interface, and it's like updating BIOS in a PC?
Is a new unofficial rom something like this:
http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=179&cat=2&dl_id=533
+ ability to run homebrew?
* I remember seeing some screenshots from the touch2, and there were some nice features, like a search bar embedded in the Internet tab and a new Calendar tab I don't have. Will these be available after a rom upgrade?
3)I read about the ability to change phone's settings and language by editing Registry. Is it only available with unofficial rom?
4)How can see the status of my langauge's translation for Touch Flo? Where can I contribute? (Polish language)
5)I reckon using/flashing at least some of the software available here voids my warranty. What does, and what does not?
6)Does flashing with new rom erase my contacts/etc.?
7) Is flashing dangerous? Is there any possiblity of bricking the phone and not getting it back to work?
PS.:
I have Touch HD,
Rom version: 1.14.405.3 (22273) WWE
Touch Flo 3D version: 1.3.35350.1_1630.38
SPL-1.14.0000

[REQ] Samsung B7620 Win 6.5.3 Clean

I will repost my original post on modaco here too, if someone can make a clean rom with maybe some fix that are listed below it would be great
Hello,
I just have brought this pda yesterday. It's very pretty and nice hw too. I've tried already to disable all the samsung stuff's but i can't remove sms manager and others things.. (i've already read the guide of editing registry ecc.ecc.).
Isn't around a clean rom to flash it? Can I flash with a generic b7610 rom or it will not work?
The firmware versions of mine are :
PDA : B7620XXII7
CSC : B7620ITVII7
TELEF. : B7620XXII6
I've found here a rom but too scared to try without a changelog and support (h--p://chomikuj.pl/misiio61/Firmware+Samsung/Firmware/GT-B7620+Armani)
If anyone can help it will be really appreciate coz the ppc is good but full of junkies.
thx
bye smile.gif
WISHLIST :
To do
- Clean 6.5.X Rom without Armani things (Pleaseee someeeeoneee heelpppp ussss or a brave man who would flash with b7610 rom)
- Total way to eradicate or at least disable Armani Apps
- A way to keep settings after a softreset or just power off\on :
- camera app lose options like wdr,antimotion ecc.
- device lose cpu settings like auto\high\low use
- softkeyboard will return to samsung default (i'd like to use "FingerKeyB" for example)
- Software to enable the frontcamera? (it seem to be one afterall)
- Way to remove "Sent Message Notification" (tried with all software but do not work, neither from registry, must be armaniapps...)
Done
- GPS Fix (as in tomtom) with "GpsMod"
- Shuttersound Off (just use the cab in the b7610 tweaks guide)
*FIXED (a bit= not all keys are usable sad.gif ) (use AEBPlus.v.2.6.6.2) - Something to remapp all hardware buttons (i think someone mentioned a software somewhere...)
*FIXED (a bit=works but no configuration working to calibrate it well) using this : h**p://rapidshare.com/files/312689104/HTCSensorSDK.dll (some games works now) - Working HTC gmotion driver\dll (tried from omniaPro\II no worked sad.gif )

Did you have WM6.1 or WM6.5??
On B7610 the WM6.1 is faster, more stable and don't have the collors displaing bug (http://www.modaco.com/content/forum/300931/). I would sugest that you keep with WM6.1..
Could you dump your rom here??
I would like to try this rom on my b7610.
Please follow these topic: http://www.modaco.com/content/b7610...-com/297139/a-simple-procedure-to-dump-a-rom/

B7620 Armani WM 6.53 (official)
is there any word about an update for WM 6.53 since the now installed 6.52 is buggy and kinda slow....samsung has a very lazy support

Still no
I think we have 2 option, or a custom rom of the 6.5.2 or a 6.1 rom. After all 6.5 isnt that great thing, ok more usable with touch but i can live without it. Plus wm6,1 have 2000 themes, this titanium is cool idea but no themes and the generator online is just a joke
Somebdoy help ussssssssssssssssssssssssss! ^_______^
Damn.. i dont want to change device, but.. support on b7620 really sucks! If only hd2 had a hardware keyboard :\
Chooo

I would love to have a clean Rom, too! My B7620 works fine, but after a Soft Reset I have only about 45 MB RAM free...

Hi [email protected] and others,
on my original post on moda.. a guy offers his skills to mod a rom but he need a dump (h**p://www.modaco.com/content-page/298479/req-help-with-gt-b7620-aka-giorgio-armani/page/20/)of the B7620, can someone here do that?
Chooo
ps : We need to merge forces

Flash B7610 rom onto b7620
is it possible to flash samsung B7610 rom onto B7620? and if so which of the roms work properly.

Flashing B7620
Don't flash B7610 rom to B7620...i tried...it doesn't work...the phone becomes all weird.
I think someone just posted a B7620 clean rom over at Modaco, if anyone of you wants to try and give feedback:
http://www.modaco.com/content-page/298479/req-help-with-gt-b7620-aka-giorgio-armani/page/40/

Yep, it is dask.. helping me trying to create a perfect slim rom and later we will see
Chooo

So has anyone come up with a light, clean ROM for the B7620?

New to HTC Mega

heya guys.
i just bought myself a new Mega last week, and i kinda wondering can you guys recommend which ROM should i pick to flash it? i browsed the ROM section but i don't know which one i should pick. and some of the roms are filled with programs that i don't even know of. which is why i ask for your recommendations.
thanks in advance.

Hello, think that you have to ask yourself why you want to change the stock ROM? Not happy with it? What do you want to see improved? Do you want a lite version or full version?
Ideally you try a few of them and see which one you like best. But first of all would read the posts with the various Rom's so you have an idea what they offer.
Personally can recommend the Rom of Billabongstaff which I use myself. Also read the "new to Rom's" thread.
Succes.

heya again.
i've explored every thread about roms on HTC Mega but i can't seem to find any suitable roms that i really want to use. there's a few nice ones but i don't even know some of the programs installed in that roms. so i need someone to answers me these questions so that i could decide which roms that i should flash.
1. My HTC mega version is
ROM: 1.28.707.3 (66092)
Radio Version : 3.49.25.05
WinMo : 6.5 Pro (build 21854.5.0.80)
Is this an old rom version? Should i upgrade it or stick with it?
2. If i should upgrade it, can i flash 6.5.5 rom onto my phone? what's the difference with original 6.5?
3. If i should stick with it, can anyone suggest what good programs that i may install to this phone? so far i only find SPB Shell and Facebook that's good enough for me.
thanks in advance.

Amienzero, would be nice if that is available but do not expect a resume of all Rom's for Mega....
1 If you can not decide on a Rom because you do not know the programs used than the search function can help you so it becomes quickly clear what they are about.
2 The Rom you have is pretty new for 6.5. You can upgrade to built 21912 (or 21909 in custom Rom) but do not expect a lot of difference.
3 WM 6.5.5 is more finger friendly than 6.5 but it is also a matter of taste.
4 To decide which program you need or like simply read about the application section in Mega or general Windows Mobile but foremost try them yourself. If you read the posts you notice a few popular ones mentioned.
Succes.

thanks Frank C for answering my questions.
okay, i've looked up about WinMo 6.5.5 and i'm interested with it. say if i use HSPL, then flash the 6.5.5 rom. then if i'm not satisfied with it i can just perform a hard reset, right? then i'll be back to the original 6.5?

No if you do hard reset, the rom won't change.
You have to install original rom again.

Find attached comparison between WM 6.5-6.5.3-7......
And the article:

thanks everyone for replying.
but now i have a new problem. i haven't flash any roms yet but now the today screen shows clock instead of battery. how can i fix that? before it shows the battery indicator but recently i did a hard reset (i messed up the touchflo2d ) and now instead of battery, it shows the time. now i got 2 clock on my today screen. please help.

Try:
Start/Settings/Clock & Alarms and uncheck the box saying 'display clock on title bar in all programs'
This should sort it

sweet! that fixes it. thanks! i wonder how that got ticked.
time to get back hunting clean 6.5.5 rom or wait for that android.

okay, one last question.
my mega uses qwerty input to enter text. is there a way or a program that can change the input to numpad text input? when i pressed the keyboard button in the middle, it only gave me the qwerty and input method (Pin Yin) option.
