A newbie needs your help

Hello,
I am a newbie with Rom-Updates.
I have a SPV M3100 with Orange-Branding. It is Windows Mobile 5 installed.
I want this:
- I don´t want to have a branding. A original HTC will be fine
- I want Windows Mobile Professional 6 on the device
How can I make this. It will be fine when you can help me.

Helloand welcome,
How much reading have you done on this forum so far? The wiki is a very good place to start.
It's really important that you read up as much as possible else you might make a serious mistake and damage your phone.
Feel free to come back with any questions after you have dne your homework.
All the best.

Download SoftSPL and copy it to your Hermes
Download the WM6 ROM in the WIKI for HTC (Shipped WM6 ROM link)
Connect your device via ActiveSync (hopefully you have a WindowsXP PC???)
Run the SoftSPL on your Hermes - your phone will go in BOOTLOADER MODE
Run the HTC WM6 ROM UPGRADE UTILITY on your desktop
Wait and PRAY ...
The job should be done in 10 to 25 min
You also could CID / SIM unlock your device first with HardSPL (Hermes_Unlocker_3a) but that would be permanently. SoftSPL works quite well and it is only temporarely!
Please, if you have no clou about what all that flashing and bootloader crap means: FOLLOW THE ADVICE IN POST 2 - READ THE WIKI !!!
BTW: even the HTC ROM has branding - its own HTC logos and they do not really look cool either! Next to HTC changes phone dialer skin and connection manager skin to an ugly green color - I am not sure if you would like that more than the network provider branding!
If you're new to all this flashing and tweaking I would recommend that you stick with your current network providers ROM and only upgrade to version 6! It might be quite difficult for newbies to get all their crap running again, such as MMS, WAP, GPRS and so on ... !

Is really good -> PDAMobiz_Dopod_P800W_AKU301_v1.1.2_PowerMap

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?

How many of us have successfully flash WM6.5

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
hi
i have used ironeagles,tommy34 & right now using Pdaviet 6.5ROM V07
Which i have posted today at the Jade Rom development
all are working fine and no problem at all for me

Hy everyone,
i'm using the ironeagles version and it's working really smooth.

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

Blackberry connect on HTC Touch2

After 2 years using Blackberry connect in my Elf (HTC Touch) now it is time to try it on my new Mega, however there is no way I can get it to work. I have tried all versions from 4.0.0.97 to 4.0.0.106 changing the AKU in the register with no success, PIN pending error always.
I would much appreciate any suggestions.
Best regards

search for taiseer .cab for your solution

where can you download this from ?

I´m trying the same without success.
Did you find the solution?

Not yet.
I have tried several cooked ROMs changing the device ID to Elfin or Rapahel hex-editing the ROM and then changing the AKU with no success.
I am waiting for a cooked ROM with Windows Mobile 6.1 as a last chance.
I will keep this post updated.

Would be a bummer to go back to 6.1 wouldn't ? I may also consider this as an option. On the bright side is that with 6.0 I may be able to run BBC2.x instead (with hexed model and coredll) - I am only interested in receiving emails. Anyhow - looks like we are on the similar path of trying to get BBC working on our new devices (HD2 for me).
If you still have your Elf[n] or maybe know Elf comrades with that device - maybe you could check this post and help us out with some info ? TIA

HI Moisha!
I upgraded my Elfin to 6.5 but I downgraded to 6.1 as I feel more comfortable (I love the stylus!).
Well I have checked the post you point but I prefer the ROM hexediting method as it easier although is not working indeed.
Let's hope someone cook a 6.1 ROM to try.

Trust me, throw away your Touch2 and get a Blackberry Torch.

HTC HD Mini - I Love It

Hello,
Sry for the titel, but my HTC HD Mini EVER HANGS
There isnt any moment without any crashed and lags !
I restart the Phone 5-10 times the day just because it doesnt reagize to anything !
I just want to take my Phone and take a Baseballstick and......
Its a Problem with the Software I think because Phone is like new and there wasnt any problem with water oder anything ealse ! It didnt fall down anytime !
PLS HELP ME !

Please do not curse... I have modified the title of your thread to remove the cursing.

@egzthunder1 -HTC HD Mini isn't bad either..
@oktay1king- If I were you i'll go to store or person i bought it,and will ask for a replacement device,not to whine on forums...or to use baseball bats )

@egzthunder1 TY a lot
@tzacapaca But the Problem is I live in Germany and my Father in Miami and he bought that Mobile, and i cant live without my mobile about 1 month (or longer) !
I forgot to say, I have WM 6.2 !
Someone have any Reason ?

there is not any WM 6.2
btw Mini is running WM 6.5.3
p.s. when you ask for help be DETAILED,or no one will try to help you..this is just an advice
example: just like when you go to dr..symptoms and stuff
otherwise we cant guess what is wrong with your phone..

Ok hm what do you need to know,....
I have WM 6.5 (Sry 6.2 was wrong) and SPL 1.42.0000.
Mobile is just about 6 Months old but dont have any(!) defects(from outside), i never tried to change to hack the mobile or anything !
Yes thats all what do you need to know ?

your father bought it for you, isn't it? Then it cannot be a HD Mini as they are not officially sold in the USA. However it can be bought on eBay or whatever...
There isn't such a thing as WM6.2, the Mini comes with WM6.5.3 (build 23103). Just check your WM build number. (Manila Settings tab -> Info about phone -> Software info)
If it isn't 23103, flash a stock ROM.and see if its better.
Good luck!

My Father lived in many countries he travels for work and I DONT KNOW in what country he bought it.
@_Madmatt TY now i can tell you more about my mobile.
...OS is WM 5.2.23103(23103 5.3.3),
Manila-Version 2.5.20131825.0
Rom-Version 1.07.407.1 (85429) GER
Rom-Date 3/21/2010
