need some help with upgrade to wm6!

hi guys i just got myself a xda 2s and i am in midst of upgrading to wm6 when i encountered a prob. when i try to go into bootloader i only see the word serial
and v. 2.07. i do not see any coloured screen? what am i doing wrong? pls help
edit ok i got it done already with help, but initially is there something i needed to save to the sd card? sorry i am a real noobie

instead of posting here and there why dont u read wiki, definitly it will help u

As a noob you should NOT perform upgrade! You may destroy your phone - its like playing with the gun it can rip off your head...
Anyway - meeha is right, use wiki. Do not try to ask where's wiki - find it yourself
AND DO NOT CREATE MORE THAN 1 THREAD ON THE SAME TOPIC

WHen it says serial..put it in the cradle...then run the upgrade utility...it is not supposed to be a coloured screen until AFTER you have updated the ROM.

thanks all for replies. i managed to do it successfully. yes i was on wiki but didn't really understand that part lol
sorry i have another question, i do not have transcriber? is it a addon or ?
million thanks

New Phone and Roms

Hi,

I am Completely new to this as this is my first WM Device.
Thanks
Jamie

What you need to do is read the wiki (see signature), and rom related threads, as to answer your question would take to long and as the previous person mentioned, we have been here before.
Do a search in the rom development forum and read the first few posts on each rom which will tell you basically what that rom includes. Do the same for whaever roms you are interested in and then try them out if you want.
All I can say is read read read and follow guidelines regarding flashing in the wiki and cRaCKwHoRe's guide. Both can be found in my signature

thanks
Hi
Thanks for your reply I am goign to start reading tonight and hope I understand what it all means.
Thanks again
Jamie

It may appear daunting at first, but everyone here was in your shoes at first. After reading the wiki and implementing advice/tips/tweaks etc listed within you should be on your way to understanding. As a close mate (cRaCKwHoRe) said, if you read the wiki you'll know what I know, and this is the truth
There is also guidelines and tutorials on how to flash to knew roms and improve radio (reception) etc.
All information on each rom is listed on first few posts of each thread on that particular rom.
If you have any problems on any topic people here will gladly assist you (well most). If no one helps you, which I doubt, PM me.

1. Go to the ROM section, linked here....
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=534
2. Ask the same question again.
You'll get more luck in there, and this forum shouldn't be cluttered with stuff that should be in others.
Good luck

Mate - he wants to downgrade! He's already flashed one ROM.
Anyone, please don't encourage him. This forum has enough on it's plate without becoming ROM Dev MkII lol

johncmolyneux, I thought you're more helpful than this.
I downloaded the ROM update from HTC .. I dont like it .. it ruined my phone, I want my original ROM back, is that illegal ?

I AM being helpful. Follow the instructions and you'll get what you need. This is simply the wrong place to post. If we just answer every single post, regardless of what section it's in then the forum would be a massive mess and you'd never be able to follow anything.
How am I not helping you??? After all the help I have given you I'm suprised by that comment.

Thats why I said I always THOUGHT you were more helpful, because you helped me alot before. I was referring to the post where you said "Mate - he wants to downgrade! He's already flashed one ROM.
Anyone, please don't encourage him. This forum has enough on it's plate without becoming ROM Dev MkII lol"
Anyway,
The ROM section is dead, I already tried posting there some questions before, they look for ROM downloads and updates, not for questions.
I posted here because I am desperate, I am struggling from my new ROM update.
If anyone knows what I can use to simply revert back to my previous ROM, ill be very grateful ..
Thank you.

I said not to encourage you as this thread does not belong in this forum. Simple as that.
There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it.
But I guess I'm not being helpful now. Thanks a lot.

I guess I understood it in the wrong way then, I owe you an apology Im sorry
Oh no its not that, im just really desperate and my day today wasnt at its best, in a bad mood from other life events haha.
"There's a thread in the ROM forum with official download links. You need that. Just download the one you want and flash it."
Thats all I really needed, thank you very much Disregard what I said earlier, its just me in a bad mood today.

I still luv ya John!

Bloody hell, use the search function! It isn't difficult!
Having said that, this is a complete guide to doing so. And yes, the ROMs tend to be multi-lingual and a lot support RTL writing for Arabic. It should state in the OP if it does.

Well if you wanted the link for the right thread, read! Check my post and you will see the link posted clearly! Note that the word 'this' is highlighted as a link? Try clicking it

Go to android nand development, over there u can remove wm6.1 and have android only

Does it never occur to you guys on here that we are not all technically savvy as you and just want simple answers to simple questions Nigeldg ?
I've clicked on the link you've suggested and I can't follow it myself, How's this poor fella in Egypt going to ????

Google Video is your best friend!
Jayceooi hd2 video tutorials are very clear and simple to follow!
Download the videos and watch them over and over again until you get it!
Once you have had sufficient exposure to the process of installing nand android (like original) come back to xda and read the tutorials just to make sure the information is up to date!
Don't rush! Keep watching the videos until you "get it"!
Download the files needed to flash. Place them in folders numbered to the sequence required for installation.
I know you feel a little inundated now but once you watch the videos it will make sense!

As you are a native English speaker (or have a bloody good translator) you should EASILY be able to follow that guide. I'm 14 and I could, and I had literally no experience of anything like this beforehand. @lunchmoney (lol) jayceooi's tutorials are indeed very good, and show the step-by step-with text + have links to the XDA threads for downloads and he also answers all his questions on his website.

SD roms that load with haret
Do all sd builds load using haret? For example: Could I run ICS beta 2 using haret?
Thanks for the support...
