[Q]please help me guys

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...

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.

[Q] It is possible to install Windows Phone 7 on omnia 2 I8000

Is there any solution to install Windows Phone 7 in Omnia 2 I8000?
there are article that explain installing for HD2

Simply put: No. The HD2 is the ONLY device with the same hardware as the HD7, which makes porting possible. Even then, the porting process is not easy.
Don't expect any custom WP7 roms for the I8000.

can u please give me a link on how to install wp7 on omnia2?? im new here so i need help pl help me

Help me plZZZZ

3)final question is after intalling the rom, again restoring my windows mobile os is possible ???

No wp7 nor wp8 on omnia ii
If you read the reply, you'll see there's no chance to port WP7 to Omnia II. Please don't ask again what was already answered.
And if you surf this web, you'll find that you can use Windows Mobile 6.1, 6.5, 6.5.x and also Android Froyo . Nothing more.

[Q] A general Question about elf

Friends i hve htc elf 7 days ago i have installed onyx wm 6.5.x
now a question arises in my mind that in future if i want to go stock rom that is windows mobile 6 using shipped rom can i move to it.....
Because going from windows 6.5 to windows 6 is a type of downgarding.....
anyone answer..???

Hi,
I flashed my Elf and Elfin many times and I had no props with custom or shipped rom.
Maybe the ISP/SPL can make problems, if you installed newer ones.
These are my experiences.

Of course you can! But why go back from Rolls Royce to Subaru?

Want to go back to windows mobile 6.0 original....
what to do anyone tell me step by step
now i m having windows mobile 6.5 onyx.....

Find the original Rom for your device http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2045325&postcount=2 and flash like you did with the Onyx

you're still using the subaru's machine even if you're using Rolls Royce chassis .
i think 6.5/.X consumes a little bit more energy than its predecessor.
and OMAP just can't keep up with the new upgrade, even with omapclockkeep

Right
I was thinking about the difference between Custom and Stock Rom

Thanx Simon_WM...! I will check it out and try it out tonight.

Hi Simon,
I have read tiad8's guide on tiad8.com web site.
But it may be a little difficult to the newbies like me.
For example in the thread (build) NAND RHOD GSM (ROM FROYO BLUE) ETA: READY:
...
Install Directions V2 make sure battery is 80% on windows mobile...
*sync your phone (USB MUST BE PLUGGED IN)
*Flash your phone with the LK Bootloader NBH
*Open bash/command prompt and run fastboot flash recovery recovery.img
...
How could I do the above jobs in WM or xdroid?
I try to register on it to ask him, but get denied.
Could you help me ask if he can release a more detail description with some picture?
Perhaps uploading the guideline video on the youtube is another good idea.
I do appreciate his great job.
Thanks.

Works
Hi!
Well...after few years from having MDA Compact II i bought HTC Touch HD. In meanwhile i had Nokia Symbian(6630,nGage etc...i was a kid in those times). Few days ago i still had old Nokia 5140i, and SE k550
(...just you to see what was my general opinion on newer phones)
I bought used HTC Touch HD for about 120€. Rom is same energy thing 6.5, which is actually prety sweet. In second moment i already instaled Foryo 2.2 on SD card and it is running excellent. Well, i cant watch youtube but sound is coming(that is one problem), and the second one is that it doesent recognize my SD card anymore.
Beside those "errors" it is quite nice. I had never thought that it would come to that, becouse i was struggling with MDA Compact. After it i started using old simple mobile phones...
Few programs which will make life easier and i am ready to go.
When i remember how i was moderator on symbian-mobile.org, fighting with symbian, small screens and clumsy controls...ihihihi

very easy: don't do anything!
the rom build you named "NAND RHOD GSM (ROM FROYO BLUE) ETA: READY" is clearly a rom for the rhodium and not the blackstone, which is why flashing it will brick your device.
you should wait for a suitable blackstone build, preferably one that was tested before and is sure to work and support all the hardware of the blackstone.
