I want to upgrade my ppc to WM6 but I want to save my sms and contacts and load them to my ugraded rom.
Whats the way to do this?
I also want to ask, I have repaired my imei 2 years ago.
If I upgrade it to WM6 with a newer rom , could it cause a problem?
My rom version :2.13.9.23 WWE 2/23/06
radio : 02.69.21
protocol : 4.1.13.30
extRom : 2.13.9.123
Another problem is,
I forgot the password of ActiveSync , how can I disable it?

download pimbackup from this site. you can backup your contacts, email & sms with it to put back on once you have flashed.
Suggest you dont backup system data as you cannot restore this safely on a newer os.
look at the good guide on upgrade section, i recomend lazy tools way.
Ur device is not network locked? so u should be ok.
If you ensure u have an original wm5 rom you can always flash this as a backup if flashing to wm6 or 6.1 goes wrong
good luck and welcome to flashing.........
Hi Timmy,
I backup cotacts sms and emails with pimbackup.But I have doubt if WM6,1 wont recognize this backup.
My ppc all unlock, CID etc.
Could the rom updating corrupt imei area?
And the last famous question which rom should I install??

When you upgrade to cooked 6.1 it will more than likely have pimbackup on it, if not install it. You will have no problems restoring ur contacts, email etc (system data & settings is the only problem so dont use it). I have used this method and there was no problem.
Im afraid i cant answer your imei querie, your best asking a mod (l3v3y is very knowledgable )
As for active sync password, do you mean the unlock code to get access to your device when its turned on? Ive not seen active sync with a password before. Im sure a hard resest would get rid of this password, but if your going to flash a rom, dont worry about it, it wont be there after your flash.
Ha Ha.... best rom? famous question..... There are many good roms out there. It is purely personal choice. Do you want a clean one (max speed and free storage) which you can then add the applications you want, or do you want a full one (maybe a little slower but not much) which comes with a lot of apps cooked in. Disadvantage of full rom ? - apps are always being updated and if apps are cooked in you cannot unistall them to then update them. So i guess you have to read up on the roms and decided.
Look for roms from l3v3y, varanusvincent, gullum, dioxda 2, all great chefs and have released many good roms.
Try a few and test them, only one way to find out. U'll find u cant stop flashing and testing when you start.
Read the good guide on upgrading section (the stickys). THis one is good too : http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377904.
I assume you are upgrading from wm5 original rom, so spend a few hours reading, belief me its worth it
Have fun!
ps let me know how you get on with imei thing, i want to know too, you can never know too much!!!
Thank you very much Timmymarsh,
I updated the rom to Prophet Diamond and I ll try different roms as you said.
restore my data to new rom.

No problem
Was the imei thing a problem in the end?
No , imei is ok too.
Do all the programs for wm5 compatible with wm6.1 ?

Mostly in my experience. You may get a message that "this program was designed for a previous version and may not display properly) but generally they work fine, you may just not have a full screen or some text isnt shown.
Afraid thats a "try and see" experiment too my friend

I would like to upgrade to the latest i-mate rom ( i think ) i don't know any differences with any other roms etc... ive been looking on the other threads maybe if my question has been answered with someone else... i can get pointed to a proper thread, i just want to know what steps i should take to upgrade my rom, i dont wanna lose any data, not that i have much id like to backup my contacts basically thats the most important, also.. since i dont have money for a 128 card right now would it be possible to load someone elses backed up tmobile mda rom ? if they zipped it up and sent it so i can restore it when i get a msd card.. any help is greatly appreciated , thanks in advance.
Copy your contacts by ActiveSyncing them to a PC, or copy your pim.vol (in the root of your Device) to your SD card and upgrade it.
Good luck.
Ahhh
Ah okay now... which rom should I try out first ? and... don't i need to CID unlock it? i'm trying to find a good thread on the upgrade procedures and the best rom to try first.
Best rom...best rom..... the Rom you choose is a personal choice (and yes, you need to CID unlock first IF you want to upgrade to a Rom of another manufacturer, if you have lets say T-Mobile and you want to upgrade to another T-Mobile Rom, you don't have to CID unlock your Wizard).
I like the Qtek Roms myself, but then again, I only use Dutch Roms, not WWE (WorldWideEnglish) Roms, so I have to make a choice between T-Mobile or Qtek and then the choice is simple in my opinion
If you don't know anything about upgrading, my opinion is, try soms official Roms first, then you know what the deal is and then you can make a choice if you maybe want to use a customized Rom like the Mr. Clean Roms for example.
Regards,
Molski
p.s. There are A LOT of threads about upgrading.
Ah thanks for the info... i tried a beta 2.24 rom i think... its pretty nice, i personally cant tell much of a difference,, connmgr is different has more options etc... im thinking of trying mr clean 2.3 is the latest right ? and if i get this does it include all the office apps and such ?
a second question... i dont like the wifi apps included and i noticed an AXIM dell PPC with WM5 had a nice wifi config app/wifi AP finder, and noticed it was made by Hi Tech Computer (HTC) any way to copy this or use it on my phone ?
check my other thread about my CID unlock problem and let me know if i should try to CID unlock it again... and backup... thanks!!
Hi,
I'm newbie on tuning my HTC P3300.
I'd like to upgrade my ROM but for first I'd wanted to backup my old ROM and my personal datas.
Could you advice me good tools to do so please and wher to find them ?
Thanks for your help
Regards
----------
HTC P3300
operateur : 21.184.2.732
ROM : 1.84.73.2.FRE
date ROM : 20/12/2006
radio : 02.67.90
Ok, I've found PPCPIMBackup to backup my datas (contacts ...) and it works fine.
I should have prefer a soft like Nokia PC suite that does permit to make a complete backup on PC with contacts and every datas(mp3 ...) but it's ok.
Now my problem is to save my ROM to be able to restore it if my upgrade fails.
Thanks in advance.

Thank you, this post is really interesting.
But it seems that both tools (aWizard and itsutils) are not working perfectly. Some people are having troubles with them. Furthermore last post of the topic you show me was " How to restore?" ... but it was on october 2007...
Is there now a better way and a reliable way to backup and restore a rom ?
Thanks a lot
I had no problems with the tools. I managed to extract all the needed files from my device Ok. I think its mainly just a misunderstanding by most of the people trying to use the programs and not knowing which sectors to use etc. .
And yes once you have all the necessary files you can you HTC ROM tool to rebuild the files back into your ROM. HTC ROM tool is what most of the developers here use to actually cook an extended ROM.
I have installed a lot of crap on my pharos, removed some of it, but now its slow and drains the battery
So I was thinking; why not upgrade to Poldo's 6.1 rom? Only thing I don't quite know how to... After a lot of reading this is how I think I should do it - please correct me if I'm wrong!
1. Contacts and mail are synced with my computer, but not my sms' - how can I copy mys sms' to my computer?
2. Since my Pharos has Norwegian wm6, I'd like to be able to restore them if I don't like 6.1. The best way to backup my wm6 will be to do a hard reset (to rid of all clutter) and then follow this thread: Dumping a ROM from pharos. Raw to nbh? -> ESN & ITA original ROMs here Correct?
3. In order to flash a new rom I must sspl or whatever that may be..? Instructions in this thread: [SSPL & USPL] Flash any ROM to your Pharos Correct?
4. My phone should then be ready for upgrading and as far as I can see there are two roms available from Poldo964 and one from tom_codon. Which one of them is best? (by best I would prefer it to be fast and not drain battery fast).
5. How do I flash the new rom? do I need to "format" the phone first, or can I just flash the new rom like installing any other program?
5. Since the roms are WWE English I need a Norwegian keybord layout (containing letters æ,ø and å), and Norwegian dictionary (XT9?). Will this work? (26/06-08) HTC Diamond keyboards Final update If not; is there a norwegian keyboard and xt9 I could use out there?
As far as I understand it, this is the way to go, but I need confirmation/correction so i don't end up with a paperweight.
Or... Is there someone in here who could cook a Norwegian 6.1 rom?
even if you brick your phone you can send it in for repairs to HTC but they will tell you that (by flashing) you voided your warranty and will charge you for the repair.
at least thats what i have understood, maybe a more experienced user can comment on that.

I suppose so, and that was the reason I wrote this post; to avoid bricking, and to be sure I'm doing things right - I struggeled 2 nights with this animated weather panel etc before I gave up

why don't you just do the hard reset, without flashing a new ROM? I personally wouldn't flash the phone without enough knowledge or a person by my side who knows what to do... I still hope HTC by themself bring a ROM update, for all the languages
Other Question - on my pharos, TomTom was pre-installed. [bought it from a friend] - if I play another ROM on it - TomTom would be lost? - The problem is, my friend lost the activation code for the tomtom ^^

I Hav tt6 preinstalled, but I still have my activation code. I guess this will not cause me any problems..?
For tomtom activation, the activation "file" is on the memory card, so you won't lose it. Also, if you have the tomtom card included with the pharos package, you can request it again.

1caspian,
1. To backup sms take a look here, PIM backup -> http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299705
2. A hardreset doesn't restore your original rom, you have to dump it before flashing it, you can find how to do it in that thread
3. You will need a unlocked CID, the best way is USPL/Hard SPL
4. It is personal, I prefer poldo ones, but you can try the two.
5. Connect throught activesync and follow the pc application
6. That diamond keyboard is only a skin, sorry no idea about this, maybe resco keyboard?
bye
Thanks a lot jose_sonseca!
A few questions still before I start...
2. If I dump the rom, and reflash it, do I then get a clean rom? Or is there another way of restoring the original rom?
What can go wrong in the process, and what are the consequences?
If you reflash your dumped rom, you will get your pda like it came to you, with all the original OEM apps like camera album, tomtom...
If the process have any error, you will have to reflash it in bootloader mode, so it's better to use hard SPL
I did a hard reset, installed HHC and pocket cm. Now it works wery well, and I think i'll wait with upgrading. Thanks for help anyway
Hi there.
I have a P3301 and have been reading a lot of posts os people that has used "PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap" in Artemis with locked CID.
Can this be possible?
Another question: is really nice to change the original ROM? I get some new features like more speed (without using overclock), and other apps?
Tank you.

Well...
I have a P3301... i´ve just buyed it. Wich ROM is more new and recommended for this device?
I was worried about the ROM wich i asked in first post, because the related posts about that, all were posted in 2007...
We are in final of 2008.... and i have a new device... So i wanted a more recent and complete ROM....
Tanks by the help....
well in my opinion and for WWE ROM try the following:
if you want a rom with manila i highly recomend FlyROM (the one in my segniture)
if you want a clean and best performance try the YuE v11.3 ExtraClean.
and there are other ROMs what i did not tried even they look good like gulloms and T.I.R
hope i was helpful
and remeber to CID UNLOCK your device first
CHEERS
Tanks a lot.
My first atempt wiil be the YuE v11.3 ExtraClean, because i wanna focus in performance. I am in middle of a .NET mobile development, and want to have a faster Smartphone to test my apps.
Tanks by reply... Other thing: CID locked devices really must bu unlocked first right? I tried unlocking by downloading a app that i get in this forum, but he doesn´t works in Windows Vista: doesn´t recognize my device during procedures... Windows Vista uses "Sync Center" and not "Active Sync"... does anyone had this problem using Vista?
Regards,
Tuschinski.
yes if you want to flash any ROM except your device original ROM you have to CID UNLOCK first...
and sorry i don't know how to do it in vista
maybe someone knows
In FlyROM, for example: does it updates just OS, or another features like radio, etc...?
no it doesn't the spl will remain .11 and the radio as it was before flashing
Can you explain to me waht the SPL initals mean?
IPL - Initial Program Loader, a bit like BIOS on a desktop.
SPL - Secondary Program Loader, the bootloader, which starts the OS.
and for the number as you know it's like a version and when it .111 it's unlocked as i know
sorry that is all i can tell cuz i'm not knowing alot about these
Tanks a lot...

Hey tuscho!
Were you able to flash the new rom in your p3301 with success?
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...

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
