Rom update in HTC.com

hey guys...i found this update on htc web site http://www.htc.com/www/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=88&cat=2&dl_id=25
and i'm wondering if this update will only update the existing original rom or will completely install new windows on my phone..coz i installed 6.1 rom and i want to install the original one if that will install it?!!!

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=379034&highlight=original+rom
Stock roms all here.
The update is pretty long back!
The update is basically like going back in time, thats windows mobile 6.0, we are using windows mobile 6.1

yea i know that but i need the original rom 4 the mob coz i faced problems when i installed win6.1
so if that's the original one i guess i'm gonna try my luck with it!

If there's the ROM you're lookin' for in the thread linked by jeremy, that'll be the original ROM
If not, you should CID unlock your device and flash one of these ROMs (WM 6.0) or you can even try other WM6.1 or 6.5 systems

Hey guys...i tried to install the software i told u about which i downloaded from htc website...but it didnt continue..it always breaks and give me connection error message...
but later i tried 2 install onyx again and it went fine...so am i now stuck with onyx and cooked roms?!!!

Connection error?
Can you flash using SD?

Make sure the original roms fits your phone.

well..i've read the SD flash, but the problem is that the rom file is exe file not nbh, and secondly what's the stylus, sorry to ask for many question but i'm very new to pocket pc's!

Stylus is that 'stick' or 'pen' where you use for the touchscreen.
I thought there was a nbh version, that someone has stripped from the original.

WM 6.5 on HTC clone ?

Hello guys.
I have purchased a HTC clone also known as the HTY 3238 Model.
Basically as far as I am aware this is pretty much a clone of the 3232 Official design.
Now I have seen WM6.5 ROMS on this site for the Official 3232 model but I was wondering if anyone has successfuly put WM6.5 on the HTY 3238 Cloned model ?
Thanks very much.

Oh and if it is indeed possible could someone provide some links to what I will need/guides.
I have had a look round and I think I have found what I need but I just want to be sure just so that I dont brick my phone lol.
Btw sorry for the double post. I could not edit my post.
Thanks again.

I bought mine with 6.5. . .

Here is a link to another xda thread where a discussion about flashing ROMs to clones exists:

While it is not a Jade Clone, info is info and hope springs eternal!

While there is info about various 6.5 ROMs in that thread BUT the general feeling there is that Clones cannot flash from 6.1 to 6.5. I know because I asked the question there and in other Jade threads.
The thread about Sunno Clones has users who supposedly have flashed from 6.1 to 6.5.

I don't understand you. I bought this device with WM6.1 and I flashed on version 6.5. I haven't got any problems with this ROM. If you want link for download, I share (send) you...

I *think* he said, prior to your post that no one in that thread said that they were able to flash from 6.1 to 6.5.

Possible
I to hace the Clone and upgrades with the Smart.upr on my memory card. I did have to do a few things.
1. Small Memory card I used a 1 GIG card.
I took out the Sim card. and did it by holding down OK, Left Green Button then the power. it started working in a minute or so . IT took 10 Min to finish.
I tried all other ways and they DID NOT Work. Best of Luck...

I also updated my T3238 Clone from WM 6.1 to WM 6.5 without any problems and it was working fine.
The only problem was that I could no longer define buttons with different programs. In WM 6.1
I used "AEButton Plus" and with that programm I could do that. Because I want to push only one button while I am driving in order to use Voice Speed Dial. Therefore I went back zu WM 6.1.
Now I only have to push the ok-button a little bit longer, tell my phone whom to call while IGO is still working.

When I had problems with the ROM I had, I realized how difficult it is to try to flash ROMs and end up with a working product. As a result of that incident, I also learned that there are differences between ROMs and that all versions are not created equal or fully functional.
As a result, I now believe it is best to stick with what you have. 6.1 supposedly is felt to be better than 6.5 which is buggy IMHO. Hopefully WM7 will be better but that is a year away.

I completely agree to you. I only try to flash a rom when I'm 100 % sure it's the right rom for my device and if I have the original rom to go back.

Noob needs help please

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.

#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..

[Q] OS Update

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.

[Q] ROM upgrade to 6.5

Hello guys..
I got a HTC 3452 for my sister. It came with Win Mo 6.1. I want to upgrade it to either 6.5 or android. But got to know that android doesn't work on OMAP processors so, wanna know which ROM would be the best. Secondly, can i downgrade it to 6.1 back in case 6.5 is not satisfactory coz some one told me its not possible. Thirdly can the processor be overclocked?

Answers to all 3 are yes.
You can upgrade to 6.5. I'd recommend Onyx personally, but each to their own.
You can downgrade to 6.1. Again, I'd recommend Onyx.
Yes, it can be overclocked. A simple google will show you a couple of programs
To anticipate your next questions:
"How do i upgrade to 6.5"
Please make your way to the rom section, at which point you will find some detailed stickies, and all the roms. Feel free to try which ever ones you feel like, there are many in there.
Make sure you read up about CID unlocking, SPL and IPL. as some roms may require different IPL/SPLs then stock.

@captainstu72
Thank you very much... Will try it tonight or tomorrow..
