Well
how many of us have successfully flash WM6.5?
is it advisable to flash it?
Personally I am happy with SPB Mobile Shell 3. The I am not interested in another WinMo version until 7, which will need another phone.
GPS performans with WM6.5
Flashed with Tommy34's ROM with WM6.5.
Very happy that my GPS fixing -boring- delay is fully resolved.
I almost believed in my Device have had a hardware defect, then realized it is none..
I have got one single trouble that SKYPE WinMobile v2.5 can not be installed..
I will try v3.0 Beta ASAP I am able to download..
***Edited***
Beta v3.0 works out..
I installed tommy34 cHome 0.4 ROM and I'm very happy with it. My gps finally works too...and the phone is more response in general.
i have used

I have not been able to flash my phone.
I am using Vista and when I try and flash the rom on the phone, I get:
Vista has found new hardware (I think it was a CDMA Driver)
I've flashed WM6.5 (can't remember which version I used), and I thought all was going well, until I tried to sim unlock it. The phone is 2 months old, with Orange branding, and had the horrible Orange Unique Manager, which is why I wanted to flash the phone, and I assumed the phone was simlocked. After I flashed it, I bought a Sim Unlock Code, but when I put a 3 sim card in, I didn't get the expected "Enter SIM Unlock Code" prompt. Instead I just get "No Service" displayed on the home screen with the exclaimation mark at the top where the signal strength is displayed. I've also tried with an (active contract) T-mob Sim, and a Tesco Mob Sim. Same thing, I don't get the prompt to be able put the unlock code in.
I can't help thinking it's because I've flashed the phone, it seems like there's something preventing the Enter SIM Unlock Code dialog from coming up. Is there anyone else with this problem, or a solution? What ROMs are people using that they have sucessfully SIM unlocked their phones with?
Thank you!
So does it still work with an Orange Sim?
I have flashed my Orange UK Jade with various flavours of WM6.5, all with good results, currently using a version cooked by PDAVIET, with no issues.
Guys, is it possible to flash to Windows 6.5 then flash again to 6.1 if all doesn't go well?
just wondering but are PDAVIET, Ironeagle and Tommy34s version of wm 6.5 all have 8gb micro sd support. And also which would you recommend as the best.
I flash 6.5 German and ist is working grate.
I used
Jade_LeanCut_GER_WM65_5.2.23001_OEM_2.33.721.1
Installed
2DManila_1_20_19131530_00
And MUI 407 files from erviuskitchen german kittchen.
And installed only th programms that i need.
Only i need Thai caracters in sms. It is not possible to change the thaom font to a full wich Asiatic caracters. installed msss.tff and change all to it, but manila sms does not take care about font change in sms/messages...
I tryed to coock a rom usin erviuskitchen german kittchen wich only changing tahoma font. but all roms i cooked with it are getting instable after 2 dayes. My favorite navigation system wich german and Asien maps does not start afer 3 times anymore.
Si i stick nearly fully satisfyed with the Jade_LeanCut_GER_WM65_5.2.23001_OEM_2.33.721.1
Hi,
I got my HTC since 2 mounth, and i really want to test WM6.5, but i must say that i'm a little afraid about flashing my phone.
I've read the "flash for n00bs" post, and it seems that there is a way to "flash-back" your phone to a factory version, am I right...?
By the way, if i want to use my waranty, can i "flash-back" my phone ?
Sorry for my bad english, thanks guys !

Hello,
I am from Brazil and bought my Touch 3G about two months ago. It came with WM 6.1.
Last week I successfully applied the "Hard SPL 2.33 by Olinex" and then Flashed it with "Touch3G__WM6.5__2_33_721_17__B23033_WWE" ROM from PDVIANET.
Everything is running fine. The only comment is that we really need to disabled the 3G (H) network and run just with Edge (E) in order to save some battery. Other than that I recommend everybody to upgrade to WM 6.5

Hey guys im getting a chevron error that is saying the phone isnt connected. SDK installed, connected to zune, network connections turned off... idk what to do. Been searching everywhere and cant find anything. using xp SP3.
Same problem here. Tried all different kinds of variations with connections.
Using Windows 7 Ultimate.
Firstly, this is the dev forum (for posting dev work), there is a reason why these forums have Q&A sub-forums and I thought the reason would be obvious
Second, why are you even using chevron? All the latest roms are pre-unlocked so you have no need to use chevron unless you are still using the first build that was released.
Just re-flash to custom rom.
hmm... that's confusing. Well, I am using LEO7 or w/e... from a guide on here. Is that not right?
Secondly... I posted this in the Q&A forum, so what is the problem?
Thirdly, When trying to activate my HD2, should I just skip the step with chevron and continue to the registry editing? How can I see if my WP7 is unlocked?
Here is an example of one of the ROMS that is developer unlocked, which means you do not have to worry about Chevron and registry hacks. In theory, just input your activation code, and you should be ready to go.
Apparently the other poster lost track of which sub-forum he was in, so do not worry about that.

I still dont have to change the registry to make my phone identity a HD7? This rom I am using is developer unlocked now - can I contact Microsoft and get the key all the while telling them I have an HD7? How do I verify my phone's identity being an HD7?
Best thing for you to do is recheck the details about the ROM you installed. Most of the newer versions have the registry taken care of, so there is no need for you to change it to create the appearance of a version of Windows Phone 7. The information about your ROM should give you all the details, including the WP7 model number.

I looked at the ROM details and it said that it is Chevron hacked, and the registry edited. Doesn't specifically say the identity changed to an HD7. Chatting with microsoft, just got my key and I am giving it a try now. Will post results. Thanks guys.
Hey everyone, just got my phone back from HTC cause my screen kept freezing up on me and had no touch. But got it back and never used Windows 7 before, always 6.5
My big question is i want to try Windows 7 on it and didnt know if i unlock the phone and put WM7 on it, am i able to go back to 6.5 if i dont like it?
Also i cant find the program i once had to unlock the phone so you can flash roms, anyone have or send a torrent site please.
Thanks, id appreciate the feedback.

First of all, it's Windows Phone 7 (WP7). Secondly, yes you can go back to WM6.5 if you have a WM6.5 ROM or the stock ROM. Third, there is no program to unlock your phone. It's a code you get from your service provider. Also, your phone doesn't have to be unlocked to flash.
Follow the links in my signature to learn how flash and what you need to learn. Flashing is not for the timid....you do something incorrectly and you can brick your phone! Fair warning.
I know all about flashing for 6.5 cause i've done it probably 20 times. I just was not sure if it is different for 7. I am new to WP7 so that is what i am asking about. Thank you

Yes the process is different with a new flash utility on the front-end called MAGDLR. Follow the thread in my signature for how to install WP7. I would suggest you still use task29 like you did in the WM6.5 world.
Hi everybody , i am using an Asus P735 device with a German WM6 Rom installed on it. When trying to upgrade it to an English version 6.0 (since i was unable to find 6.1 for this device, which would definitely be preferable), i receive the following message:
"Cross-language upgrade is not Allowed. Please ensure the upgrade tool language is same as the default language of your device."
The thing is i don't want the "default language of my device". How can i get rid of it?
After lots of searches on the net, including on this forum, i've found no answers and in the few similar cases posted the users were left with no answer.
The Asus language unlock tools is of no help whatsoever on this phone.
Can anybody help me with this device?

for desktop PCs ! if you have by example W7 in French and want to put it in English - I mean to get English package by update- this will not work if you have an OEM license -this is not allowed!
so is that with OEMs if you want to keep license !
for your PDA you must find an unofficial English ROM only! also a way to write it to the phone BUT for this to work DO NOT use Active Sync!
I can't give you more details because don't have a PDA like yours but this problem is interesting

try a way to write firmware without Active Sync read this post to see you need some way like that
http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-378907.html
ftp.asus.com/pub/ASUS/IA/P735 doesn't works more you have to find somewere a firmware in English as I see no longer Asus support they say this is deprecated sorry to hear that
Hi Ruscan and thank you for your interest in this topic, being the first person to react at all to this problem that has been left unsolved for many years, despite many other people posting about it earlier and who were left with neither solution nor answer/evidence of interest from the side of the developers. I do also think this is an interesting issue that could become even more actual in the future.
So far i was unable to find ANY unoffocial ROM for the P735. I do have the official one (Malaysia) in English though, from Asus's website, yet i do not know how to hack it and eventually install it. Furthermore, i was wondering whether an P750 or P535 ROM could work on a P735 with few modifications, cause the 735 is hardware-wise somewhere between the two.
I am ready to take the time to write the firmware myself yet i have no experience at all in that neither i know from where to start. If to write a new firware then it would be good to finally produce a WM6.1 version for this PDA, instead of the existing 6.0. How to do that, any idea?
Thank you for your explanation and for making this non-sense situation a little bit more clear.
PS: Also, i've read somewhere that the device won't turn-on anymore if upgraded to a different language, does that apply to an update via SD-card as well?
PS2: Installing the Android system on this device would be an option?
..i wonder what would ASUS.UnlockLangID.exe do with your problem..
what's this all about:
p525 had similar problem, that could result in NOT real bricking of device after flash(wrong languague version after reset - device seem to be locked on bootloader then). when tool is used before flash, custom lang roms are working properly(interesting then, what this tool does, btw, as it is launched from WM - so, it may be microflasher, or sth like that).
now...i have strong feeling, that warnings you read about flashing different lang rom, may be related to this ridiculous, small, problem.
issue is, that i do not know, if ASUS.UnlockLangID.exe may help with p735, OR if there's version made for p735.
update: i read this again, slowly:
"Cross-language upgrade is not allowed. Please ensure the upgrade tool language is same as the default language of your device."
...they tell you about upgrade TOOL, not rom.
hmmm, so.. what, if you use tool in languague of...ROM?
maybe unlocklangid code is inside flasher, so using proper updater with proper rom is simple solution?
on the other hand - i am making roms for asuses for years, and i never used default flash method - vide usbloader method(and force mode from BL).
i am not going to encourage you to go this way of thinking, but...

sorry this is just to test my signature will be back but I do not think Android is an option for your phone it is all about technical specs to port Android on that phone and only Asus will have that
by example I know about a project named Andromnia this is how to use Android on Omnia-WM phone
nice try!! but believe me this is about reverse engineering and does not works for now- no gps/gprs/wifi signal and Android crashes
funny, that andromnia showed me, asus user, that android could be real for REAL PDA's.
andromnia works on p750 when proper kernel is used,

You can extract ABI file and flash you device through SD card

sooo..it seems, that updater BUG is reason, not roms itself here.
funny is, that rom cooking for this machine is quite real, if tools i can see are working.
--------------
upd: ok, so, if i see it right, all you need is to:
fully charge battery,
extact exe, get abi,
copy abi to empty sd card(NOT SHDC!),
go to bootloader(hard to say how - try dpad right + soft reset) and
wait.
when update's done, do hard reset.
--------------
of course, i cannot say at this moment, if whole process is safe, it works fine with zinc device(that seem to have identical flash procedures and SAME cross-lang error when manufacturer way of flashing is used(exe)).
i will try to get more info from my mate asap. cross your fingers, and wait a bit.
here's tool you may try to get abi file from original asus updater EXE file:

btw, are you from Pakistan?
Thanks all of you for your input.
1 - There is NO AsusUnlockLangID.exe for Asus P735 - do not know why.
The one from P535 or P525 is useless on this phone.
2 - Great point about "same-upgrade-tool-language-possibility" yet the official ROM comes in an .exe file that i do not know how to unpack/hack in order to insert the correct ROM or vice-versa.
Could you provide me with some insight for that?
3 - Besides that, do you think a tweaked P750 ROM could work on this phone, or a hybrid P535/735? Wouldn't that be the best/easiest solution, which would in the same way finally create a more advanced ROM for this quite neglected device? The older P535 has even 6.5 ROMs whereas P735 is limited to the basic 6.0. (Does that have any advantage by the way?)
4 - I am open to any way of flashing, given it provides the right result so all your advices are welcome.
Yes, the author is very present
@Pupakota
Ok, thank you, i've just read your last answer. I'm gonna try the tool you're talking about and inform you of the result.
PS: No, i'm not from Pakistan though i love the country, are you from there?
PS2: Any way to port the 6.1 version to P735, to kill two flies in one shot ?

p750 is different pair of shoes, nothing would be useful in this case. do not try any roms made for different devices(trivia, i know).
-----
i dare to say, that any rom is possible for 735... while searching info, people made every possible build, including 6.5's...ALL chinese :E
rom from exe is exctractable, then fully dumpable, packages are clean and good...
btw, that ABI file is just a renamed rom.bin...
while Activesync method of EXE flashing is wrong, only way of avoiding problem is using SD card flash method then by using that pseudo "abi" file.
dpad to right + softreset should start flash procedure. if not, it may be some key on the right side of the device + soft reset(hard to understand translated chinese...).
but before you decide to try...
could you, AsusP, make photo of bootloader mode?
and please, post link of exe file you were trying to flash, i need it(i mean this english one). for some reason dumped rom from "WWE" version seem to be...hebrew... i really would extract real english rom.
now, only problem is, that besides of one case i did not see any clear information, if sd flash with languague change is safe.
one person wrote it is.
Hi, i'll get back to you ASAP regarding other questions, in the meanwhile here is the link of the firmware in question (that i'm trying to use) :

yup, this one seems to be exactly like one i tried to extract, indeed, it's wwe.
damn, it's OLD
it seems, that cooking custom roms is possible for this device without special problems. new 6.1 or 6.5 should work MUCH faster, than your actual one, or that wwe from asus...
try to make photo of bootloader, and tell me, which version of 735 do you have, 64 mb or 128 mb of ram?
ahh and one last question: do you have original updater with german version of rom, that you CAN flash(i mean, that you have now, in your device)? it may be neccesary, if you ever dare to make further experiments.
"try to make photo of bootloader, and tell me, which version of 735 do you have, 64 mb or 128 mb of ram?"
It is 64MB RAM, same as all Asus P7XX devices i guess, if not upgraded (mine is not).
Sorry, but how do you make photos of the bootloader? Do you mean the update tool?
"ahh and one last question: do you have original updater with german version of rom, that you CAN flash(i mean, that you have now, in your device)? it may be neccesary, if you ever dare to make further experiments."
I have it in the device yes but i don't have the program/CD if that's what you mean. It could be downloaded though from Asus i think...

Bootloader mode flash(with unpacked from exe rom image on sd card) seem to be Only way to update your device.
I am trying to determine risk linked to this method, so i need photo of LOOK of bootloader mode.
You may enter BL mode by pressing dpad RIGHT and making soft reset, if i am right.
then something should appear, and this is what i want you to photograph it for me(with..camera).
of COURSE, do not put abi image on sd card YET, otherwise you start to update, and we do NOT know yet, if you brick your machine or not.
so, at this moment i just ant to see hot it look like, without flashing, if its typical 525/750 bootloader, not some weird thing, i'd assume, that abi file flashing should not brick machine.
sorry or enigmatic words, cannot explain this easier way.
It is 64MB RAM, same as all Asus P7XX devices i guess, if not upgraded (mine is not).

..so not all 735's have 64 mb ram, i'd say, ok?
look, i do not know nothing about your knowledge level, many users of 750's with 128 mb ram are using 64 mb version of roms(typical noob would have no idea to try any different), this is why i mentioned it...
btw, besides using GanFan-ZincROMXtractor's easier way of obtaining rom file from exe is just using restorator, reshack, or similar tool to extract rom at res 152.
result is identical as using zincromextractor, though name of file must be set manually - it is Mars_G4.abi (though, it is not..real abi file, but it doesn't matter).
