Hi all,
First post here - I've been lurking for a while now.
Is there a "best" wm6 ROM for the O2 XDA Mini S Please?
I'm a bit confused by the names of the ROMs
I have:
IPL 2.21.0001
SPL 2.21.0001
GSM 02.07.10
OS 2.21.4.1
Should I use shelltool to flash?
Many thanks

Thanks for the reply. Can you tell me which one is closest to "standard" please? I just want to try wm6 out and maybe try one one of the tweaked versions later.
Thanks
I've just installed 'Windows Mobile Crossbow Most Beautiful Edition' on my XDA, Much better than the standard O2 Rom and pretty standard looking imo, has some nice extras thrown in but overall pretty clean. My IPL/SPL are identical to yours. Just use Shelltool and you'll be fine.
Dont worry if it doesnt work first time, it shouldnt cause any problems to just reflash it. Worse comes to worse you can always flash back to the O2 rom, although I wouldnt recommend it, Wizard Love rom is quite nice.
Find download links for Windows Mobile Crossbow Most Beautiful Edition and Wizard Love that they mention in the Shelltool thread, then you're set even if you have a mishap.
I did mine over the weekend, same IPL/SPL/Radio as you. I flashed with PdaViet4 using the Shelltools method.
WM6 Most Beautiful ROM
Firstly, great site and a veritable mine of information, almost too much. A quick question since I'm kinda a newbie.
I currently have an unlocked G4 XDA Mini S, with Wizard Love on it. I'd like to try WM6 and Most Beautiful as most folks recommend it. I tried flashing it last night using the shell tool, but I was unsuccessful. So I was just wondering, can I just install Most Beautiful directly or do I have to use the shell tool? I think I have the new ROM update installer (is there a way I can check this?) and I'd like to try it directly.
Thanks for your advice.
I got it to work anyway, using the shell tool. I just removed the miniSD card and turned off the radio (ooops, should have done that before!) and hey presto. It's on and looks great.
No phonepad text entry method though . Must see if I can add it...

Hello there,
any1 know whether or not the news Atom Life WM6 ROM will work on an old Atom?
Thank you so much.
plzzz Reply...
I would be so gr8ful if someone could make a ROM like the O2 ROm Wm6 for th older 02 Atom.... i need it badly...
I wonder why the atom life rom should not work into atom, the hardware seems almost the same..
I dunno. I've compared both the A-Life and Atom together. Despite having the Atom name, the A-Life is a COMPLETELY DIFFERENT UNIT. Heck, it doesn't even have the same size. This is a different kettle of fish, unlike the one we had with Atom Exec vs Vanilla Atom.
(You could argue that the size could come from the 3G extension board they tacked onto the Atom board, but I highly doubt that is the case.)
I wonder that too. But I don't want to brick my Atom with Atom Life WM6 ROM. I think I could try that, but I don't know how to set the Atom to tri-color screen or hardrest it.
I've checked the Atom ROM life, it has a totally different ROM structure with ATOM. So, you can not just used directly. We have to port it to our device.
Atom Life WM6 to Atom
Hey guys!
Has anyone any news about this new Atom Life ROM?? is anyone trying to port that to Atom yet?
I want to try that out.. please let me know.
Thanks in advance..
I want to flash my Atom to WM6 too.
But I can't see any steps around forums.
Although everyone (if not most of us) by now has known that the HP rw6828 is a rebadged XDA ATOM. Apparently, this device, though slower than our current AKU3.3 ROMs seem to have a newer set of device drivers.
These device drivers are essential in the upgrade of our ROMs. Should we wish to port WM6 into our Atom, we will need the most up to date device drivers.
Unfortunately, we couldn't hack the lock on HP Official ROM. So, we though that if some generous soul with access to an HP rw6828 can dump the ROM from the device to an SD Card. This would be a lot of help!!!
Also, if someone knows how to decrypt the official ROM... this would even be better!

this is not possible because HP has placed a lock on you RUU. If we try to trick it to use Atom bootloader, it will check CRC. Are you willing to try??? I will make an ATOM bootloader for your HP. BUT there is a big RISK on this.

give me a couple of days. I need to work on it. The Atom has an extended partition unlike the HP which has NOT. There are applications that need to be migrated to work on your device IF the bootloader that I am going to prepare for you will work.
Just keep posted on this thread.

PS: there is already a AKU2.6 for the HP in the official website. You can try that while waiting.

Fingers Crossed...
Cant wait... Hope all goes well.
hi all
i can dump Titanium version 2.6aku,let me know.
good work jiggs
testing
Has this got to testing yet and if so hows it all going. Have problems with my rw6828 not connecting to certain Symbol access points seems this is a known issuse between WM5 and Symbol
Wanting to test another image for it to see how i get on.
rx6828 wait wait wait atom rom
hope my rx6828 can use atom exec rom.....
if can use atom life wm6 is bonus!!!!
wait wait wait
reply
But waiting takes so long
I would say there seems to be some misunderstanding within the HP community..... The idea of hacking the HP rom was infact not to benefit any HP user, rather to benefit the Atom with the latest device drivers in hope of using these drivers within the WM6 or Crossbow upgrade. However it seems HP device drivers cannot be used for the Atom (so far anyway) therefore I seriously doubt any cooked or custom rom for HP, unless jiggs can somehow swing it almost blindfolded as he doesnt use the HP.

What is RUU?
Since HP rw6828 and Atom is identical in hardware, is it possible to erase the whole rw6828 ROM and replace it with Atom ROM? What's preventing it? Anyway to hack this protection?

RUU- Rom Upgrade Utility
The bootloaders for Atom and HP is not identical. You need the Upgrade/Update Utility to put the ROM into your device. BUT, the RUU in hp checks each file component (radio, ROM, bootloader update, etc.) prior to flashing it to the device. Unlike the Atom DSUU, which checks only the filename and flashes it to the device.
To hack it is to unsign it. Well, someone has to do it. I can't.

another way to get HP's firmwire is dumping whole ROM using pmemdump from itsutils

Are you saying your plan for hacking the rw6828 for use with XDA Atom upgrade stop here?
please I Want A Standared Or Original Wm6 For Jamin Without Any Modification Or Extra Roms (as It ComeS From Factory)
Jamin come with WM5 from factory, so original wm6 don't exist.
Exactly, that is the point. Thers IS NO official WM6 release for our Prophets. None of the vendors nor HTC toke the trouble to release such upgrade. If they had done so, it wasn't such a hassle to cook the "perfect" tailormade ROM ourselves!
thanks alot i know that Jamin come with WM5 from factory, but i ask if there's wm6 anyone find it like it comes with htc p3450 touch (or simi original) with out any problems or making hang and with all wm6 features
Is there a reason for the bold typeface? It looks like you are shouting...
There are a few ROM's outhere that come close to what an original ROM should looked like. You can recognize them by the qualification "clean". Although it has to be said that one is more clean then the other...
If you encounter problems with these ROM's on your Prophet, it isn't of any use to replace them by an official ROM from another device. Most problems are due to the different hardware specs. When porting WM6 from one device to the Prophet, the cook has to find a way to integrate Prophet drivers. This problem will allways remain untill HTC comes with an official WM6 Prophet release, wich will never happen I'm afraid.
BTW most of us don't have any (significant) problems using WM6. So you better focus on differences in the configuration of your invidual Prophet, like 3th-party software etc.
thanks alot for your help
and there is no reson for bold font just i like it, i'm sorry for it
but what do you mean by 3th party software?
Software you have installed on the device.
Hi,
I have an XDA atom which originally had windows 5.0
After looking around this site i upgraded to 6.5
I was wondering is there any problems/issues with downgrading to perhaps 6.1 as i read somewhere on here that 6.5 uses a lot of RAM.
Also, is 6.1 a good choice? Or should i stick with 6.5? The version of 6.5 was developed by Khoa ha if that helps at all. (
Code:
showthread.php?t=513809
)
I'm new at this so apologies if these are 'newbie' questions or if i have posted something incorrectly.
Thanks in advance for any help,
Paul.
Can anyone help??
Hi luapb,
If you are comfortable with 6.5, you should just stick to it, unless the performance is actually bothering you as WM6.5 is meant for devices with bigger ram and memory.
Anyway, you can upgrade and downgrade back and forth between 6.5 and 6.1 and 6 without any special downgrading or upgrading procedure. Just do the usual by going into bootloader or via activesync, make sure DSUU and other required files are in \window\temp and execute the DSUU program. You need to make sure the temp directory is cleaned out before copying new ROM's into it otherwise you might get undesirable results.
As for WM6.5, you can try Helloworld1, Glossyx1, Searcher or Tabbe's version, I think theirs are better than Khoa Ha as I remember reading somewhere, Khoa Ha's version are not very RAM and battery friendly.
As for WM6.1, you can try Helloworld1, Glossyx1 or Pdaviet's built 20764(get clean ver) as these are the clean and basic without those additional applications put in as OEM.
I would suggest you try first Jiggs ROM(0.7a.0 B3) WM6 first and then work your way up to decide which ROM suits you best.......
Happy flashing and discovering....
Thanks vincentshjuan
