Hi guys,
I am new to this, I have done a few searches, I find some stuff but no clear path on how to upgrade my M3100 to WM6.
Could someone help me out with some instructions and what files I need?
Many thanks
Take a look here, and follow relevant links.

Also don't forget to take note of Mr Vanx's guides!
Thanks for the reply, which version would be better?
Which ROM
Impossible to say which is the best for you really, all of the most recent releases are stable, fast and come with a built in selection of applications and ROM specific tweaks. The "which is the best ROM" threads tend to go on without any resolution, we all have our favorite! There are some ROM polls kicking around that are worth getting a feel for whats popular, i would suggest reading those and then trying a few of the popular ones. I went through three before deciding on one i was happiest with.
There are flavours of ROM's being released left right and centre these days, do a spot of reading over at the cooked ROM's depository and check out the Wiki page for all the information you need:

Hi,
I'm the proud owner of a T-Mobile MDA II with vga camera. Half an hour ago I happend to find this interesting forum.
What is this Windows Mobile 2005? I've never heard of it. I searched the Microsoft website, but I didn't find anything.
I have no idea which OS is installed on my MDA... the ROM version is 1.72.01GER (in case that helps).
So... in case I want to upgrade my MDA.... what do I have to do, where do I get the files from etc. And, what is this upgrade all about? Is it a totally new OS, or what is it? I have no idea
Thanks for your help
Bye

Hi Bauer,
I too am a newbee. Just joined this forum about a month ago. If I may give you a clue ( though I'm not an expert in it), the Windows Mobile 2005 is supposed to be the next mobile phone OS from Microsoft. It is said to have many more user-friendly features than the one you are currently using. However it has not yet been officialy released in the market (I even doubt if its ready yet). But thanks to our great Buzz Lightyear (http://buzzdev.net) we are fortunate to get the taste of the new promised features. Buzz had managed to create his own version of the said OS and named it the Magneto. Why don't you try to drill further into other area of this forum or go to http://buzzdev.net. I'm sure you'll get the idea, and as it happened to me I'm sure you'll like it too. Good Luck.
Hi again Bauer,
Regarding the question as to where to get ROM upgrade, you can try this link http://www.buzzdev.net/index.php?option=com_docman&task=doc_download&gid=124&Itemid=32 to get the copy of the new ROM upgrade. However you are supposed to register yourself first to be able to access the link. There (and in this forum too) you will get a clear description & instruction for the ROM upgrade.
I would also like to get this opportunity to apologize to the forum (especially to Buzz and the development team) for not being polite enough to say 'thank you' for all the work you've done. I've had no significant problem with either the upgrading process or the tweaking around with both hardware and software (incl. 3rd parties). Everything works fine with my machine since day one I did the upgrade. I love the work. Thank you all, and have a nice day.
Hi Bauer,
Spend time reading the wiki site too which will provide you with a lot of background about your new toy and the sort of things you can tweak/ develop or pick up that others have done.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Also learn to use the search function of this website as you can find most of the answers for yourself without relying upon good folk to give the same advice to the next newbee in the queue asking the same questions ('nuff said, we've all been newbees at sometime).
Once you've read relevant parts of the wiki and are comfortable that you want to risk changing your ROM (there are numerous pitfalls you risk (e.g. warrantee invalidation) and ultimately totally killing your machine if you have two left feet/ power surge/ massive bad luck etc) search these forums will educate you to the experiences of others developing/ beta testing/ exploring. Buzz's versions of WM5 are narrated a:

Remember to pay due homage to all his hard work.
Beyond that enjoy.

Hi all, I am new to the forums (lurking for ages though) so far i have asked three questions and have had many views with no responses - im hoping this post sparks more interest.
Would it be possible to make a sticky for G4 roms? a link to each thread about the rom and a link to something other than rapidshare? it doesnt work for south africa. I have gotten the hang of flashing and am sadly but blissfully spiraling into the "flashing addicts" arena, so far (since yesterday) i have panicked, installed an original kjam rom, the XM6r5, the artemis touch (no luck and i panicked again - not for the wizard, oops, duh) and now i am on black diamond 3.1. I would like to try the NBD and Jaguar roms but cant download them off rapidshare
I am sure there are many more great roms out there, i just cant find them in the forums - i even tried searching for ROMS but little luck. So my thinking is, if there were a thread just for posting links to the various G4 roms it would make everyones lives alot easier... and perhaps an alternate download site - i noticed that i am not the only one stumped by rapidshare.
by the by, i cant find the threads where i originally got the XM6r5 and black diamond roms from so i just wanted to say thanks to the developers for the awesome work.
you should be able to go through a web proxy to download off rapid share. thats what i do. pretty much any proxy that ends in a .com should work.
Ok so i have looked and looked and am lost!!! Can someone point me in the right direction on where to find rom cooking info. I have downloaded a kitchen but im not sure what tool to use??? thanks all

why not go over to DCD's 2.3.0 thread and read his instructions. If you've already unlocked your phone, then it's a simple double click and fill out some checkboxes, then have a coke and a smile.
I'm trying to figure out what each of the checkboxes means. I'm sure this is documented somewhere, but for some reason it's not in the main post. The main post seems to assume that you've already cooked ROMs before. This is my first HTC (although I've done a lot of Palm ROM editing in the past.)
I just recently jumped on the boat from 6700 to Mogul and cooked my first ROM the other day and let me tell you, it's not easy finding straight forward instructions on how to do it but the info is out there... Your not the first to ask this question and I'm sure you won't be the last... I read around the forum for about 3 days and gathered everything I needed to know... The best thing is that you're nearly forced to read some threads from begining to end which provides a lot of great insight to the underground world of Titan Modding...
My advise is to look around, gather all the info you need and then ask specific questions about the update process... People are more willing to give specific advise as opposed to detailing a step by step...
Best of luck...
I have been preparing to update my 6800 to the DCD roms and I have a few questions:
1.I downloaded the DCD Rom for Verizon but I am confused as to the need or the function of the kitchen rom. Do I need this?
2. where would I get the extra programs (games, adobe reader etc) back from after the update?
I am using the ppcgeeks guide in preperation to update
I have updated all kinds of equipment over the years but never a phone so I am just trying to err on the side of caution.
Thanks

if you use the kitchen to create a rom you can choose to install the entertainment oem (games) and to install adobe pdf reader as well as many other apps.
The kitchen will create a new rom for you so no need to use the precompiled one.
dcd's kitchen is pretty straight forward just follow the instructions
Best advice
Take a couple of hours, and READ, READ, READ these threads ad nauseum!!!
learn from everyone else's mistakes, know what to expect, and how to fix any challenges that come your way before you sweat bullets thinking you've bricked your phone.
jtg
Then read some more...the first flashing is always the bullet sweater... you will flash many many many time after that.

The best advice! The worst mistake one starting out can make is looking for shortcuts and listening to one saying how easy it is, you just have to do this.....It can be easy -- very easy to dig yourself a hole and return seeking help for very familiar issues..
Take the time to learn for yourself, don't limit yourself to a single option, and remember that there is not a single ROM/kitchen to choose from. There are choices ranging from the cuttng edge and experimental, pimped (won't forget that thread), to the relatively mundane that are as stock as possible.
Also, check out the fundamentals in the XDA-Wiki for the Titan.
......We really should have a sticky thread for this upgrading forum to inform the newbies of the generalised basics..
hi all,
so ive been using pdas for a few years now, had a kaiser loved it learned loads ie how to flash different roms to it apps etc great stuff,
moved over to the touch pro, wow amazing device again rand some roms on it found one i loves (we miss you Romeos!)
now im deciding that i want to learn a little more about the under the hood actions in terms of cooking, the os, all the weird terms ive read in different posts which totally overwhelms me with info,
now allot of people will say "search the forums" which indeed is the way i need to go, my only problem is working out where to begin, again the wiki is a great place to start, but unsure of what to read up and understand first
could some one give me a few pointers, i come from an IT background mainly networking but have done a few different things so im pretty confident i can pick it up quite quickly (i run linux at home at managed to pick it up really quickly)
so my question is. for some one trying to learn about the operating system in terms of cooking one for them selves, where would be the best place to start?
if any one of you amazingly gifted people could point me in the right place that would be amazing,
thank you very much

Download a kitchen and start playing. I used Proven kitchen the first time. It was very easy to use. I have also used Da_G's kitchen. Again, very easy to use and both contain many packages to get you started. It's just a matter of playing with the options then.
thanks for that yeah am now looking to do that however i was looking for maybe threads discussing it i see things like aku mentioned and builds etc and dont really understand, im a reader and like to read up and understand technical info before playing however sometimes you just need to do it so will take your point
thanks
@annonymouse:
I assume you have a GSM Raphael. I would suggest starting with the following Wiki page(s):
HTC Raphael
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Raphael
I started off with the following kitchen:
Da_G's Simple ROM Kitchen
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Da_G's Simple ROM Kitchen
I put a tutorial together for that kitchen to help other newcomers "ramp up" quickly. The tutorial includes several links to important threads that will help you get better acquainted with some of the aspects of Windows Mobile.
HTH,
hi thanks for the links ive read the wiki page earlier but am at work so mearly glossed however thats not enough so will sit at home and divulge,
will also check the link out for the kitchen
thanks allot i appreciate the help
