Hello ya'all. This is my first post so first of all I'd like to congratulate you for the excellent site and forum !
There is a lot of resource info around here ! Great Job !!!
But unfortunately for some new people getting into this new world of WMobile even what it looks simple to you might be slightly blurred to us.
I bought in France a HTC P3300
IPL 1.12.0001
SPL1.12.0000
GSM 02.67.90
OS 1.12.00
ROM 1.12.406.1.FRE
RADIO 02.67.90
PROTOCOL 4.1.13.28
ROM EXT V.1.12.406.101
ARTE 100
Of course the WM came in French. Well I am willing to change it to WWEnglish and I've been doing my homework researching and reading, reading, reading through this website. Found the steps to do it thanks to Kleinemeus at this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=290241 and found the DOPODAU and LOVE ROMS as well the Extended Rom in the ftp site. As well as I found my P3300 is the same as MDA compact III, XDA Orbit, P800W, Dopod P800 ....
But I still a couple of silly doubts that I gonna ask for you MASTERS your mercy to clarify me with your wisdoom and expertise.
1) After flashing my P3300 with a English ROM will it have all same basic features/programs I have in French like, the radio, tomtom gps, etc ? In other words, doing this is like getting a desktop that came with windows in french and installing a windows in english ?
2) After being successful of flashing the Rom following the steps described in the link above by Kleinmeus how can I upgrade the Extended Rom found at the ftp ?
I really appreciate if someone could help me with these 2 questions.
Thanks in advance !!!
It should work
Be careful when flashing becos many ppl cant get it right.
If you manage to flash it successfully you should have almost the same functionality.
I dnt know abt the ROM.
Is ur phone CID unlocked?If not do it before u change the ROMS.It will be a big disaster if u get stuck in between and u cant do anything.
Yups, you'll have all the basic apps that are part of WM5.
Regarding TomTom or other Commercial GPS applications, these are not part of WM5 package and are installed by supplier, so you'll have to confirm whether the ROM that you are planning to flash has that specific GPS app.
Regardinf Extended ROM, these come as part of ROM that you will plan to flash. Usually people only take some specific apps/patches from other Extended ROM that wasn't part of supplied/flashed ROM (i guess I am right about this)
Hi there, can anyone help me to 'downgrade' my P3300. I've installed the official upgrade WM6, but I'm not happy with it... .
I'm looking for a good working WM5 downgrade.
THX Fred
Dear Fred sorry i can't help you because i need the WM5 WWE for my phone too! Pls ppl help us
just got the link on wiki xda developers
there are few old roms wm5 useful to get before an upgrade for rollback
Which WM5 roms are useful? -> Recently I found a ROM with the name: HTC_1.12.405.01_026790_WWE_SHIP.rar
Is this a WM Rom I can use for downgrading my device [P3300]?
And which procedure do I follow when trying to downgrade to WM5 ?
Pls help me !!
dear fred sorry was off for while i rolled back to wm5 but soon after this i decided i will recall wm6 back gain
i suggest u try wm6 for a while & soon you will see a big difference don't rush and get back to 5 yet a brother advice
i wasted my time to look for different roms bu the wm6 touch 3.01 in the forum is the best u will absolutely love it - just give it time mate
wm5 is no better than wm6 - in fact now i see lots of benefits of having 6 in my phone
best wishes
rollback
Hi, THX for your concerns , but I defenitely want to rollback to WM5, because I have a problem with bluetooth connection in he car[kit]. With WM5 it did work properly and since upgrading to WM6 it won't work!!
I've tried to 'downgrade' but the Artemis doen't want to go back to WM5. I've used USPL and then I tried to rollback, but everytime I try it won't go on.
Can anyone help me -> or what do I do wrong ??
hi again
its a bit weird that u r having bluetooth problems with wm6!! anyway the bluetooth and other wireless connections are something to do with the Radio ROM as i understand so you may benefit from changing ur radio rom!! it should be a quicker solution to implement i dont know if this will work but it worth a try
second when you try to rollback to wm5 are u using official rom - cuz it should be an official rom u rollback to - u can find official wm5 on the wiki xda developers
best wishes
one more thought before you do anything else did u reset ur carkit bluetooth before using it back again with ur wm6 cuz ur phone has a new BT address now
try resetting bluetooth in both and re-pair them
Hi Jahrami,
Tried you're advices, but don't work on my carkit. Earlier I tried to rollbak but that didn't work with the rom I have downloaded [HTC_P3300_1.12.405.101_WWE_ExtROM]. I've a Dutch P3300, which was upgraded to WM6.
I used USPL to prepare it for any ROM, but it won't go on.
Do you have any other advices or ideas? THX
Fred
Hi Fred (check ur personal messages too)
Three more suggestion to be tried:
1- change ur RADIO rom only to the latest
http://www.steadvex.f2s.com/orbit/RADIO_03.07.90_ARTEMIS.zip
2-change ur rom to another WM6 i think the problem with your rom not with the OS - try an official rom or artemis touch 3.01 i recommend the second
Artemis touch 3.01 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=342298

Trial and [t]Error
Hi Jahrami, THX again. I'd already installed Radio 03.07.90, before I tried again in the car. But this doesn't work either. The carkit sees my P3300 and I can answer calls [as long as I answer via the knobs on my P3300!]. The speaking is then working via my carkit [at least].
But it doesn't work via the carkit-knobs ánd I can't phone out -> not via the
P3300 as well as the carkit !!!
Last thing I 'll try now is the Artemis Touch software and if this doesn't work I won't know what to do then?
Anyway I'll keep searching and trying!
Fred
waiting the last operation - Artemis touch
keeping fingers crossed
Touch not
Hi Jahrami,
THX for your help this far. But,...although I very much like the new looks of my Artemis now [with the Touch interface] -> My carkit won't respond well to it. Still got the same problem with Bluetooth, but much sleekier looks on my PDA now!!!
I'll keep on looking -> I'm now trying to find a way via the carkit radio [upgrading the kit probably?].
Fred
i was looking with you too for a solution but i ran out of ideas (will keep eyes open however)
told you - Touch is great (speed and look)
best wishes

Would it be possible to downgrade just the radio rom? not upgrade. I believe the issue is that wm5 used bluetooth 1.2 and on wm6 it uses 2.0. Would a downgraded radio rom help?
On Wm5 what kind of profile did your car kit have? was it headset or or handsfree? I have noticed that WM6 only has handfree. This may have something to do with it.;l
radio downgrade
Hi there, thanks for giving me another idea. Don't know if in WM5 it was handsfree or headset?! Mayby someone else can tell us/me!?
Can anyone provide me a Radio ROM or else that is the first version in WM5 -> so I can problably downgrade that part ?
Fred
I am having a lot of problems with the new wm 6, the previous software tomtom and igo8 are not working any more, both say that the GPS device is missing. Did you find a valid WM5 ?
Thanks
Hello,
I just tried to download the official 6.1 upgrade from HTC's website, but when I submit my serial number (verified under the battery and on the Touch's box) The website denies access to the download saying that Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device..
Is this problem common ? Is there a workaround ?
Are you from France? If yes - try official 6.1 FRA ROM here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=431738
No s/n needed!!!
Thank you !
Not for India..
Yeah its not available for India too... although I don't know if this applies for Asia in general. Also we get the Mapking gps and not Tomtom. I guess that may be one reason... or something else...

Ok I see.. well here is the Radio ROM version according to the Device Information screen: Radio Version: 1.58.25.14 Protocol: 25.69.30.05W. Hope it helps.
just got my cruise yesterday, already did hard-spl using olipros hard-spl. also upgraded to wm6.1 i got my wm6.1 rom from wiki of polaris. wm6.1 has tomtom but i didnt use it, i installed mapking(comes with the package) on my polaris. you can also find the radio rom in the wiki.
thanx a lot guys... with the info i was able to downgrade from the official HTC WM 6.1 ... am able to use custom ROMs now... am basically at the same version levels as KULL now... the only difference being the protocol... i have 25.69.30.05H to his 25.69.30.05W... dont know what that means... from what i could gather 'H' supports a few more bands for GSM and UTMS than a 'W'. doesnt really make a diff to me... but i havent been able to connect to GPRS on airtel... dont know if the W/H diff is doing that... sorting that out now... thanx again
WM 6.1 for Asia / India
Hi,
I'm in India too and want to find out if others in Asia / India have upgraded to this official WM 6.1!
Is it worth moving to 6.1 and if so where can I download that WWE 6.1 ROM? As someone mentioned, I cannot download it from the official HTC site with my serial number as it seems its not available for my region.
I did hard SPL earlier and now running udk version on that which is very stable and I'm using it for about 5-6 months now - no issues at all. Dont want to get into any trouble while upgrading to this official one, but if its smooth and similar stability, I would like to move to the official ROM for now.
Thank you.
I don't know about the rest of Asia, but surely not available yet for India. I also got an email confirmation from Support recently. Will have to wait and watch, I think they were in a hurry to bring out ROM update for the Diamond since the launch it has received very luke warm response also got some bad word of mouth publicity where people found it buggy. Guess it should come some time...
Hi guys,
thank you a lot for this fantastic websit. Sorry for my English - I am Czech. I hope, that you will understand me. In past I had a HTC vox, but few weeks ago I´ve bought a CRUISE. Everything was Ok, but I wanted to made a upgrade from WM 6,0 to 6,1. I corectly unlocked my cruise and I tried to upgrade to new (unoficial ROM).
I tried this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=478029
and this one:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=425612
Upgrading was ok, but after upgrading I have no signal on my PHONE ???
My next step was: I made a upgrade to oficial HTC WM 6,1 from HTC website.
With original WM 6,1 is everything Ok, but I would like to have beter ROM, than original HTC.
At all treads here, you are writing about RADIO? What is it? Is it a driver, which is included in every ROMs and this driver is for PHONE RADIO control?
Is it possible to upgrade only "RADIO" ??? I dont understand a lot this section. When I was upgrading my VOX, there were no problem with this. Every drivers was included in ROM - notning problem.
Thanks for your comment

Hi all,
Im back after a very long time because.
I buyed after a very long time a htc touch hd...
well its not new, the guy were i buyed from used it for 1week and didn't liked the touchscreen. He told me he received it as a present for xmas and stuff like that.
Now is my Question: i want to flash my rom because its WM 6.1 and i heared alot of great things about WM 6.5 is that trough ?
Also if i flash my HTC TOUCH HD, will my simlock dissapear or something ?
Cause on my last phones it was, i flashed it and i needed to unlock it again and more headache.
Is it normal that the simlock will reactivate if its flashed to WM6.5 ??
If the htc still unlocked.
Which ROM you all will advice me ? i really prefer Dutch roms, but english roms are also oke.
and also tell me why, so i can get all the benefits of it
Im not a beginner in flashing of phones but flashing of HTC's i am.
I only did it once as far as i can remember and that was on a P3300 a very old model, So if there is also a little manual i will be very thankfull.
Thank you all,

Hi biggie89,
Yes, the good news is that there have been many advancements and improvements to the Windows Mobile OS in version 6.5, such as having a more finger friendly User Interface - providing you with a much neater and tidy user experience. Speed varies depending on which 6.5/6.5.x ROM you choose to install and you will be glad to know that both Dutch and English ROMs are available for download
The bad news is that if you flash your HD in it's current state (simlocked), then I am afraid that this is unlikely to work until you get your SIM unlocked as the simlock is controlled by the baseband. Data is stored there too and flashing the radio or ROM will not have any effect on the simlock. Therefore, I would advise you to have it unlocked before you begin the flashing process.
Here is a guide that you can read to make you more aware of how to flash a Touch HD ROM. Essentially, what you must do first is unlock your phone using either Hard-SPL or USPL.
You can also see this link as it details what the latest ROM builds offer in terms of stability and performance.
I think it would be a little unfair to say which ROM is best especiallly for the people who create these custom ROMs. Each ROM is different in their own little way i.e. one ROM might be fast but a little unstable, another may be stable but a little slow, etc... The best thing you can do is try out different ROMs (Dutch or English versions) yourself and try to discover which one meets your needs.
Note: when you get to the stage of downloading a ROM, to find a Dutch based ROM, simply look at the headings of the ROMs listed from this link. Dutch ROMs include the abbreviation NLD in their title [NLD = Netherlands], and English ROMs have WWE in the title [WWE = World Wide English].
I hope this helps you out.
Regards.
Mastoid is correct. Flashing to a new rom, even if you use hspl, will unfortunately not unlock the sim.
There are tools that can do that, but it is not free. You can try this one which seems to be popular and effective.
Hi all and thanks for your reply on my message..
My htc HD works now with my vodafone NL simcard so its not simlocked or something i think i wrote my question wrong..
Im scared if i FLash my rom that the unlocking of my device comes back, So i can't use my vodafone NL simcard with it.
Is that possible ??
the current state is unlocked or locked with vodafone i dont know for sure but you guys tell me that if i FLASH my rom now i still can use my vodafone NL simcard ???
if that is the way i will flash my rom in to a nice ROM that u guys told me to do..
the thing what i want to is..
USE my vodafone NL simcard with my htc touch HD like now but with a different ROM.
my htc touch HD is working great with WM 6.1 with a vodafone NL simcard.
so im still confused with the simcard if it will work.
do you guys think that it will work with WM6.5 ??

Flashing a rom does not affect the status of the simcard so it will still work. Just follow the Dummies Guide (link by Mastoid above) and you'll be fine
