Hi, I have elfin (HTC Touch) and I have Windows Mobile 6 professional and I want to upgrade it to 6.5 so can anyone type me a link so I can download the ROM directly because there is more than one ROM in the forum and I'm afraid to download a wrong one so please help me...thanks

First you read this guide completely.
Link:http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406721

I read it well and I knew big information about my elfin but really I don't know how to start please tell my what to do first I can tell you the info about my elfin
ROM Version:2.20.707.1B WWE
ROM Date:10/02/07
Radio Version:03.07.90
Protocol Version:4.1.13.51
EXT ROM Version:2.20.707.101
Windows Mobile 6 Professional
CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)

mind my sarcasm...but he meant to say...to upgrade your device without damaging it...you will need to follow some instructions....and if you read it well and if you are a sane guy...then you would atleast EDIT your POST and remove the god damn IMEI of your device....people dont give away their IMEI jus like that you know...its something only you should know...and jus so you know...i m not trying to piss you off cos you are as we call a newbie....so here is a breakdown of what you need to do
1. your device is an ELFIN...so we know
2. jus like you unlock your sim to use your phone...you need to unlock your device...(so that it becomes writable)
3. to do so...you would need to make use of a part of software called USPL and IPL...USPL does the part of keeping your device unlocked...and IPL needs to remain the same series....if you flashed a USPL of 3.XX then your IPL shud be 3.XX series
4. now do the reading on your own this time and discover all flavours of 6.5 ROMS available here....
btw i wonder why you havent tried the official 6.1 ROM from HTC

thanks so much, first i don't know even the difference between the 6.1 and the 6.5 but when i saw some topics about 6.5 and the people said that it works better with the HTC touch so I think in that, now i made a backup ROM from the one i have is that good step and i already downloaded 2 different ROMs from the forum (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552371 , http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426540)
but how can i make the device rewritable is there a application i can download? and what's your opinion to upgrade to 6.1 or 6.5?

Upgrade to 6.5 Final Build 21234.

Tht's a good thing to backup your Original ROM, should be helpful in case of errors, bricking or re-servicing. (though i forgot to do mine )

There's is no problem about being not rewritable or sort! Once you CID unlock and upgrade your IPL/SPL, you can upgrade or degrade your device to any ROM you like whenever u like!
About opinions, there are alot of people here and would obviously have their own different opinions and so you will have too! I'd ask you to try out ROMs yourself and use the suitable one you choose. If you'd like to have a stable ROM, i'd advice you to use the 6.1 ROMs and if you'd like to have newer latest builds, you can go for the 6.5 ROMs (which have been optimized to their best stable by respective cooks). In the end, its up to you which you choose as your BEST ROM!
PS: Do read if the ROM is suitable for your device, in this case- Elfin and few FAQs posted out by the ROM cook. Respect others work and last but not least Read & Search before asking Questions!!

Thank you very much I finally upgraded my elfin to windows mobile 6.5 and it's awesome but i still have one more thing i want to make it read and write Arabic language without convert the whole interface is there a patch? I already searched about that and i found a file but it's not an application and I don't know how to use it. before that in my old 6.0 i downloaded an application when i install it, it solves the whole situation then i tried it with the 6.5 but the start menu won't open after i installed it so i formatted the ROM.

hi, first of all, the backup you have done is probably not ready to be flashed, so whatever you do, dont flash that again or u will brick your phone.
arabic? take a look at this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=426281
and finally, i think it will be better if u update ur ipl to 3.10 too.

thanks crapula512 but what you mean with the backup not ready to be flashed? is there any other step ?

what he means is....you may brick the device with the backup you just created. so if you wana restore your original...which is the one you have backed up now...you should and can only flash that by making use of USPL or HSPL...search the forum for USPL and HSPL...and you will be given guides...
btw...you really like writing in bold letters eh...kinda makes us feel we are blind...

Official ROM do have TF3D in it no matter what. It probably wont have all the programs. Just go through what you have make a list, and see if there is cabs available for it. If it is, then you will get all your programs back. But your settings will be lost, unless you know how to back them up.

Windows 6.5 or 7

Can anybody tell me how i can get WM 6.5 or 7 on my HTC Touch Diamond?
Where do i find it and how do i install it? I currentlly have WM 6.1
Thanks!!

Someone would tell you to use the search engine, but im also new on this board.
Windows Mobile 7 is not released until now. Windows Mobile 6.5 or 6.5.5 you will get on this board. Its important that you save your Files from the Phone before you flash it. Its also important to have .Net Framework 3.5 on your PC or you will get an error from RomUpdateUitility in Windows. I had this problem yesterday when i was flashing in WinXP and i tried a new installation. Get the installer from the Microsoft Hommepage: microsoft. com/downloads/details.aspx?displaylang=en&FamilyID=333325fd-ae52-4e35-b531-508d977d32a6
IMPORTANT: You have to erase the space between microsoft and .com. You have to do is at ervery link i posted. Because its not allowed to post links for new members like me and so it works only this way.
Now you need HardSPL, a bootloader, from here: forum.xda-developers. com/attachment.php?attachmentid=93362&d=1213719705
I installed this version yesterday, its unsigned but it works.
Here you have a howto to flash HardSPL, Radio and Rom: modmydiamond. info/index.php?option=com_content&task=category&sectionid=4&id=13&Itemid=26
Then you can flash your Radio to a new Version, get it from here: rapidshare. com/files/353046193/1.17.25.09-SR.rar.html - this is the newest Version i have found, but if you have Problems with it use 1.09. Users on board say thats the best one (but older): megaupload. com/?d=JRJVNC4U
And now what you really want, to flash a new Rom. Its works the same way like HardSPL and Radio flashing. You will get a lot of roms with WM 6.5.x on this board, but you have to look. The are all a little different. Here some examples:
forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=517300
i dont have use this but i try to flash it today
forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=635028
is see it now for the first time.
forum.xda-developers. com/showthread.php?t=648771
Finally you will get all this Roms here by searching the board:
forum.xda-developers. com/forumdisplay.php?f=430&order=desc
If there are questions, reply in this thread and i will answer in time.
Hope i could help you and sorry for my bad english

The Diamond is not have the hardware to support 7. Plain and simple. There are countless of ROMS available on the board... http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=430
But becareful as the roms don't work for both GSM and CDMA. Do some research.

These steps that you have to do:
1.Do hard spl 1.93 by olinex. (do MTTY also if you can)
2.I flash more than 5 wm6.5 ROM, This is the best http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593678.
3.Do hard reset after flashing any ROM. Flashing ROM will DELETE all your data.
Wm 7 has not been released, But if you want wm7 theme, check this out http://www.mobilecustom.fr/forum/index.php/topic,4007.0.html. Good luck:

From windows mobile to Android

Hi,
I've taken the decision and finally moved from Windows Mobile to Andriod by buing a HTC Magic (Vodafone UN - 32B) which is already sim unlocked...
By checking a couple of sites, including HTC, they say that a new rom has released with HTC sense, which i love it and would like to get it on my Magic..
As i've read more, its not possible for the UK yet, so we have to go with the option of upgrading the rom..
What are the 2-3 steps for doing that??(please dont tell me to read another wiki or post, just tell me what do i have to do in plain english to install a new rom(which i have found from this page)
I mean, do u need to hardSPL first, like i used to with wm6.5??and then flash the rom? and if yes, which hardSPL and where to find it..what is the procedure?? even if you cant tell me exactly, just direct me to a post for this..thats says plain the procedure of flashing etc..
Thanks for the help

What you need to do is the following:
1. Install DangerSPL
2. Root the phone (http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/29/how-to-root-the-htc-magic-in-one-click/)
3. Install a custom recovery (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=4029315#post4029315)
4. Find the sense ROM (http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=448_)
5. Install through the recovery.

Damn it, but Android is the best mobile OS and you want to replace it with Windows Mobile? Why?

Some people prefer WM os 'cause they see it a little more "in their style"
That's not bad...
Personally i prefer Android OS but that's just me
My friend i think you can't have this done in your tattoo :/

I think it's possible ... htc touch2 and htc tattoo is different only in appearance masks, sprecifikacija them is the same

doesn't work on tattoo, different drivers, and wtf, wm sucks, even if i develop software for wm. Like i saw on other posts, if you don't like android because linux is hard, just sell the phone and buy wm phones.

so, yes or no? I`m interested too.

bobisimeonov +1

Write the corresponding winmo drivers for tattoo and then it'll work - have fun, since this is a hell of work coming towards one

dont think so
hi
guys i have Jade which has the same specs as the Tattoo and they guys at the jade section have been trying the reverse of what u want and it seems impossible so i got this one just to try out the android so i think its the same here so if u really wana try Winmo 6.5 then buy a winmo

I think its possible
I Think that it is possible to install windows 6.5 on tattoo
Here it is , but it´s in chinese but i read somewere that it includes english
My tattoo isnt rooted so i can´t try it, is anyone willing to try ??
h ttp://w ww.592zn.com/thread-68260-1-1.html
The link has spaces because i am new i can´t post links

I don't know chinese, but with google translator I found that this is for a clone with wm with a different hardware:

So, you cannot install these roms on tattoo.

This won't work, you can only get bricked trying to flash it or whatever... It can't possibly work without editing anything lol

Who in the world would install windows over linux? You gotta be insane to do that!
