I know this is somewhere but I couldn't find anything definitive. I put WM6 on my phone but want to put it back to WM5. Can someone point me in the right direction? Thanks.

Thank you this helped a lot. Do I need to downgrade the radio and SPL?

I have to ask this - WHY??????????
-There are some programs that are not WM6 compatible
-There are some features/programs missing from the cooked ROMs
-If you sell the phone, and the person needs warranty work done, you want WM5
-You need to send it in for warranty repair
-You want actual tech support from your operator or HTC (even though this forum is better)
-You like being behind the times?

You don't NEED to do ANYTHING! Personally, I'd keep 1.40.Oli as your SPL, and 1.38.00.10 as your radio, and put on Cingular's 2.06 rom if you want WM5. Use Black 2.0 if you want WM6.. You can always downgrade radio and SPL if you need to later on, but, for now, leave it alone.
Well the only reason I ask is because I do plan on selling the phone, so I just want to make sure That I'm doing everything right...if that makes sense? I did super CID the phone though...

Leave the radio and HardSPL on the phone if you are selling it. Id say they were a good upgrade to sell alongside the device.

In your this guide you use romkoch to generate NBH from NB files.
http://www.mrvanx.myzen.co.uk/hermes_guide/Downgrade/
But in the romkoch software there is a tab NBH to NB tab, why is it that your quide don't use this to extract the NBH file?
I personally prefer to use NBHextract.
Im changing to guide to use a different app soon anyway.
Do I need to use that app to downrade if I am going to use an official rom from Cingular... their updated one?

I had the same problem with the 8525 using the stock ATT ROM and MMS. The only way i could make it work was to use a cooked rom(which you will like better anyways IMO). Make sure if you flash ur phone to use HardSPL to keep from bricking ur phone.
Here is a link to a good howto for flashing: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/
Also if your going to flash it then you will need the keyboard layout fix here
We've already got HSDPA, thankyouverymuch ;-)
What ROM are you running on the 8525? Have you upgraded it to WM6 or is still running the pre-installed cingular WM5 one?
Smiffy.

umm and just forget the fact that it has 200mhz...vs. a 8525 a 400mhz...not the smartest comment lol
I have no idea. I am still trying to learn how to access all the features.
I had Nokia 9500 before that and this phone is slightly different.
WM and ROM info should appear when i am restarting the device?
I am pretty sure i had WM5,but i am not sure....
Just go into Start --> Settings --> System --> About and that will tell you what OS it is running
Oh..Thank you

DO NOT TRY TO FLASH ROMS FROM DIFFERENT PLATFORMS, you may brick your phone.
If you have supercid , try this:
http://rapidshare.com/files/45915194/RUU.rar.html
it's only the OS module of a modified version of WM6 from Tornado, without SPL, IPL (bootloader), etc. so it will not brick your phone, even if the update stops. if it's not compatible, it will just destroy your os which can be flashed back very easy (if you have supercid), otherwise you have to do extra stuff..
PS: i don't know how to supercid/sim unlock monet. don't know if spv-services (the app for supercid & simunlock) is compatible with this.
sorry for my stupidity/total lack of knowledge but where can you get supercid (have searched but cant see anything obvious) and are you saying that I can try the RUU ? And what is the correlation between RUU and supercid and simunlock (and why do i need them). I could really do with an FAQ /noobie guide, can anyone point me to one??

then remember if any thing goes wrong then you wont be able to get you lobby back because virgin haven't realest a rom upgrade for it
does anyone have a stand-alone app that can be used for the DAB radio on the monet? I wouldnt upgrade my monet if it meant losing the DAB functionality...
dt_matthews, you could easily extract the TV Dab application from the lobster if the WM6 update works.
What an interesting idea though, I remember the doctor telling me that this theory may work as he was going to extract the OS from the Tornado and flash it on the Hurricane but never got round to it.
I will ask him on msn he if thinks this should work.

I imagine that you wish to go back to wm5 for warranty purposes. There is unfortunately no way of doing this, however the leaked T-Mobile WWE wm6 ROM indicates that T-Mobile are ready to provide this software update in the VERY near future via their software upgrade link.
Provided your phone doesn't break in the next month or so you can simply install the official update when it is released and 'voila' warranty intact.
If your reasons are NOT warranty related then I apologise, though I see no other reason for going back.

This is a WWE version. There's no way of getting BB connect to work yet though it seems
Cool, thanks!
Here is an RUU that i patched with guidance from Olipro and Cmonex to not (always) hard reset when it has finished flashing (useful when you want to flash just a splash screen or radio update). This should be used in conjunction with a patched SPL (e.g HardSPL) and shouldnt be used for full OS ROM updates.
Have fun
Edit: new version attached: asks about hard reset. packed properly

Could anyone possibly tell me how I would go about using this to flash a Kaiser Radio Rom update to my Dual?
I've got the HardSPL on my device now, just wanted to see if it would work.
I did try it using the updates on the FTP site and this RUU, but I got a device ID error, probably cause the Rom is signed for the Kaiser.
Suppose what I'm asking is could someone take the kaiser radio update and sign it so the dual will accept it?

I can do that for you, and if you are willing to risk you're device then fine by me but i make no guarantees at all that it will work, let alone it wont turn your device into a paper-weight.

I have tried kaiser's radio you give,after flash,noting happen,the radio rom is 1.58.16.27,is it right?
Oops, ok, looks like you beat me to the punch.
Using the CustomRUU.exe I'm not seeing "Image Version : 1.31.73.09" to "Image Version : KAISER RADIO" - are you seeing that too ?
Had you dumped the default Orange radio first, need to look into how I can do that.
I saw that,but I didn't dump
ok, haven't found a way to do it either, so it seems the flashing lef your device in its previous state, odd !
I try again ,it's from 1.31.753.13 to kaiser radio
sorry i packaged it up wrong, ive done it properly now and flashed myself and bad news it sim-locked my phone and i now cant use it
my phone already locked sfr,so doesn't matter
I'm giving up on WM6 because of the missing DUN (and a T9 bug).
I have another 3125 with the original ROM in it.
Is there a way that I can back up that ROM to my PC and install it to "upgraded" phone?
If not, is the original ROM available anywhere? I've been googling for two days and nothing. The closest thing is the AKU 3.4 from HTC which is missing DUN as well.
I've tried the WM6_BT_DUN cab file and that didn't help.
