How to upgrade from WM5 TO WM6
To upgrade your prophet to WM6 I recommend that you first of all downgrade to the NVID version of WM5 AKU2.2 and get the latest Active Sync:
1. Download the NVID(no vendor) AKU2.2 rom for WM5 here :http://rapidshare.com/files/17208693/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe YOU CAN USE Step1 of PdaMobiz or PDAViet Temp INSTEAD OF NVID(no vendor) AKU2.2 ROM...
2. After it has been downloaded get the latest Active Sync from Microsoft.com
3. Install active sync, you might need to reboot
4. When your computer has rebooted, run the file from step No 1 . Follow the steps, remember that it can take some time and seem to stuck at 80% and higher, but just wait.
5. When you have done this, your pda will reboot. After it comes with the welcome to windows mobile screen,"Tap Here To Begin",JUST LEAVE IT. In fact don't touch your device before the next steps are finished.
6. Now download one of the WM6 versions( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1279985&postcount=1 )
7. Now find a file named Upgrade.bat,and run it.(you don't have to run Step1 of PdaMobiz or PDAViet Temp,as you have already downgraded to AKU2.2)
8. Wait until the upgrade finishes(usually takes 12-15minutes)..WAIT WAIT WAIT
9. A message will be displayed in the dos box,and it will say that the upgrade is finished etc....etc...,now you HAVE to HARD RESET,to finish the upgrade and enjoy you new WM6!
How to downgrade from WM6 TO WM5
The downgrade process from WM6 to WM5 is pretty simple. All you have to do is to downgrade to WM5 NVID and after that upgrade to the WM5 you want:
1. Download the NVID(no vendor) AKU 2.2 rom for WM5 here :http://rapidshare.com/files/17208693/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exeYOU CAN USE Step1 of PdaMobiz or PDAViet Temp INSTEAD OF NVID(no vendor) AKU2.2 ROM...
2. After it has been downloaded get the latest Active Sync from Microsoft.com.. Simply search for "Active Sync"
3. Install active sync, you might need to reboot
4. When your PC is ready run the NVID file you downloaded in step1 and follow the guide, remember that it can take some time and seem to stuck at 80% and higher, but just wait
5. When its done downgrading to the NVID WM5 rom, you prophet will reset and you can upgrade to the version of WM5 you want.
NOTICE
If you use a different AKU 2.2 ROM(like PDAViet Temp),you may have two EXEs in the folder you extracted.Be careful and use the one that is made for your device:
FILENAME G3.EXE
is for G3 devices:IPL x.xx.0000, SPL x.xx.000.0 (this is shown when you reset)
FILENAME G4.EXE
is for G4 devices:IPL x.xx.0001, SPL x.xx.000.1 (this is shown when you reset)
RECOVERING FROM ERROR IN STEP 8 WM5->WM6
1. Don't panic
2. Don't panic
3. Unplug the phone
4. Reset with stylus,and keep the Camera Button pressed.
5. A 3 color screen will appear(Bootloader Screen)
6. Connect your device with your PC,and run the NVID(no vendor) WM5 rom.
7. The device will be resetted after RUU(rom update utility)finishes
8. Repeat the WM6 upgrade,from STEP 5..
How to switch or upgrade/downgrade between WM6 versions(for example PDAViet->Trueneytral)
1. First you have to downgrade to WM5 AKU2.2 using the WM6->WM5 guide(some say that you don't have to do that,but i believe that it's better to downgrade first rather than making a simple overwrite)
2. Now follow STEP 5 of the WM5->WM6 guide
Device doesn't connect to PC after flash
If your device doesn't connect to your PC after flash,just enter bootloader(press camera button+while pressing soft reset and hold,until a tri-color screen shows up),and flash the NoVendor WM5 Rom: http://rapidshare.com/files/17208693/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe .Then repeat the whole process...
----------------------------------------------------------
KEEP IN MIND:
UPGRADING CAN BE DANGEROUS,YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE
DO NOT RESTORE BACKUPS FROM ANY ROM OTHER THAN THE ONE IT WAS CREATED ON
THERE IS NO "BEST WM6 ROM",THE BEST IS THE ONE THAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU
(part of the guide is taken from Da9L's guide,in the WM6 Rom Collection)
I will edit/update this post soon and clean it up, ask questions in another thread, and by god please read the wiki first, 90% of the questions asked are answered in the wiki....
WM6 Upgrade Guide...reply
great info sir! thanks so much! downloading...i'll be happy to send feedbacks on this WM6 ROM! thanks again!
Thanx a lot tonydeli7 , very very good guide and a lot of ppl really needed it

Thanks to you all. I have Qtek S200 and trobuled with WM6 it wonderfull guide for me thank you very much.
I need to downgrade to WM5, 'couse I cannot boot anymore. After running the setup I get an error that the device cannot be found. I have connected the S200 with the boot loader running.
Edit: Now it works on an "old" WinXP machine.
Huge Problem!!
Ok guys I am having a huge problem. I tried to upgrade to WM6 but when running the RUU and changing the rom, it encountered an error saying the nbf file cannot be installed on my pda phone and now my phone is stuck(i think permanantly) on the bootloader screen.
No matter what I do to try to fix this, IE: restart device, power down by removing battery, try to run the RUU again, nothing helps. Its is really stuck and I really need this cell phone.
PLEASE HELP IF YOU CAN.

Put you pda on bootloader mod... and try any of this rom's i have managed http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=316062
Stay cool!
I followed the instructions carefully, and my phone (Qtek S200) seemed to boot with WM6.0
However, after aligning screen, it tried to initialize the phone with some extended roms, a procedure which failed, and I had to soft reset.
After reboot, it seems to work fine.
Is it?
EDIT: Another thing I noticed is that keyboard is in THAI !!! How can I make US the default? Olso, I have Resco keyboard GR edition. Will this work with WM6?

Is this G3 only, or both?
I'm asking, because in PDAviet's temp file there are two different rom updaters, but in the file linked above there is only one.

i don't know mate.i believe you can use pdaviet's temp instead of aku2.2 nvid...
Another thing I noticed, is that it looses pairing with my bt handsfree...
I am making the pairing, and works fine. However, when at night I am shutting off my hf in order to save battery, the next morning the pairing is gone.
Any solution to this?

Choice of ROM
Hello guys, tanks for a so nice job !
I would like to have more information about the choice of ROM.
I don't want any special feature, just the row wm6.
no programs added, no tweaky today, no bugs, no battery problem, etc etc
which one would fit that the best ?
thanks
Thnx for this man, much appreciated!
I think i made a mistake.
After HardSpl i stuck in bootloader and now i have:
IPL 2.09.0001
SPL 2.G3
Did i HardSpl a G4 with a G3 rom?
I've tried every ruu i can find, even the original.
When i hard reset the Prophet i get "Format is Failed".
What can i do now?
Is there any way i can upgrade/downgrade SPL from Bootloader?
Thanks in advance.

As in my post in my signature, a basic solution = Don't Panic,
1. Try hardspl correctly referring to your model,
2. if no success, go to bootloader mode (3 color screen, see how to in my post 1), and flash PVtemp.
3. go all over again depends on your needs.
Enjoy.

I think the problem with the device is that I can't hard reset it.
Everything is going well but it can't be hard reset.
I get the same message: "Format Is Failed".
BTW when i HardSpl from bootloader now, comes up a green screen with the same IPL and SPL on it.

2. unplug,
3. execute SPL.lnk,

No.
The device is stuck in bootloader, it doesn't do anything else, except when i flash the hardspl a green screen comes up and that's all.
The activesync can't connect.
I must change the SPL back to the original but only from the bootloader.
You HAVE to get back to a normal OS again before you can do anything else.
It is described in the WIKI, but I sum it up here for you:
* Find a complete NVID ROM RUU (there are several circulating, PDAViet Step1 for example)
* Put your Prophet in bootloader (3-colored screen)
* On your PC, in ActiveSync DISABLE the "allow usb connections" setting.
* Connect your Prophet to the PC using USB cable. ActiveSync shouldn't react, your Prophet is coneected as an ordinary USB device.
* Now run the NVID-RUU, it will take some time and it will look likes it stops at 80% and again at 95% but don't worry give it time and it will complete!
The result is a standard OS AND a standard SPL again.
GOOD LUCK!!

Sad news
This is a post from Jesterz in another thread.
Sad news: no software solution for prophets with a wrong SPL (G4 SPL on a G3)
Hardware solution still possible, but we need to find the test points on the mainboard for a JTAG
email:

Jesterz you made my day.
Don't give up!
The Jester-mail descibes the "other-way-around" situation! Did you tried the suggestion I posted earlier? Iy worked for many others, why shouldn't it work for you? (Unless you are in need for a Prophet-shaped paperweight...)

Yes rondol1 i did what you told me but nothing.
My Prophet flashes all the roms succesfully and back to the bootloader, plus i can't hard reset it anymore.
Seems like i have one Prophet-shaped paperweight after all
Last try.....
Sorry to hear, I have just one option left:
I uploaded my saviour-ROM to rapidshare, give it a try. At least I know for sure that this one has everything onboard that would be needed.
http://rapidshare.com/files/90335584/wm50_RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_026121_NVID.zip.html
And follow the steps I explained precizely.

Thanks man.
I will try it just now.
Perhaps a useless addition, but after the RUU finishes, don't touch anything, don't disconnect, just wait for your Prophet to restart.

I hope they will fix it.
I don't like it, but I have to admit I'm out of suggestions....
GOOD LUCK....
One suggestion left! Just noticed that in the ROM/RUU package I uploaded for you, somehow the RUUGetInfo.exe is changed to RUUGetInfo.txt.
Change the extension and it should work (at least here on my PC), that is, the RUU should run....

Hi
I have qtek s200 never locked on any network
I have downloaded ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3 and G4
But after i done to see 3 colors i have doubt i what G3 or G4 update rom to use
IPL 2.09
SPL 2.09.0000
gsm 02.07.20
os 2.9.7.24
My question is which Rom to user G3 or G4, or i have to do something more before runing RomUpdate
tnx in advance
By this link
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=prophet_g3g4_how
It might be G3
but not sure because my IPL 2.09 without anythin after that .09
but with 4 zeros after.09 in SPL
that is normal "fake boot", freezed screen because you didn't make the HardSPL,
yes, its a G3,
read my thread..... read man, read post 1 is ok

1. "old method" for "old roms"

2. "new method" for "new roms"

ok now?

That iS the point! You HAVE to prepare your S200 first before you can upgrade to WM6. With only factory defaults you are NOT able to succeed.
So I second dioxda2's advice:
read all the guides, WIKI's and other relevant information here before you dive into the deep... But hee, afterall its your phone....

That too is a common problem, with this version of WM6 password just don't "stick". The problem is with all WM6 ROM's of that generation, not only the one you flashed. There is no solution, just don't use a password. The newest ROM's seem to have solved this issue, but I can't confirm that because I don't use a password anyway.
So, now you are stuck. Do a Hard Reset and configure your device again.
I was trying to make upgrade from wm5 to wm6,and was looking in tutorial xda-developers > Prophet > Prophet mobile 6> New WM6 Upgrade Guide. First,I found a Upgrade_HardSPL_G4.rar, and did what was said in tutorial,copy the 3 files from the jumpspl.zip to the root directory of your Prophet and then unplug / disconnect Prophet,Execute the SPL.lnk IN THE DEVICE, then you see Prophet in all bright or white screen,Execute the ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4 (I have a g4 device) to upgrade hardspl. I got message that my update utility was old and that I need new. Then I restarted device,just run ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4 from the hardspl folder and instalation went smooth,pda restarted and worked well. Then I went back on xda-developers > Prophet > Prophet mobile 6> New WM6 Upgrade Guide,found this sentence: ''Step 3 and 4 are necessary only if the WM6 rom you have downloaded instead of nk.nbf has os.nb file and the ExtROM folder'', and as I downloaded wm61_korand_3_1.rar that contains only nk.nbf file,I put it in Update_Package\Update Utilities,and run ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4 fron that folder. The instalation finished and pda booted in bootloader. After that I tried flashing Shadow My Edition 2,no DualSIM,and followed the instructions to recover pda from wiki/ prophet recovery(downloaded PDAMobiz_Prophet_WM6_V1.00_Step1),everything was the same,always bootloader. Is there a help for my prophet? Could someone give me a step by step istruction how to bring it to life? Any help is welcome. Thanks
What is the IPL/SPL displayed?
Are you sure your device is a G4?
Try a hard reset.
Try this again: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Prophet_recovery
IPL 2.58.0001
SPL 2.58.0001
I'm sure that my device is g4. Did a hard reset and it went to bootloader again. Is there a hope? I will try http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index...ophet_recovery, but I noticed that when I run RUU and after verificatio informations on my pda it shows image version :_____________(blank),,then I click update,and then it shows
From:
image version :
To:
image version :
there is no numbers.
If you can enter bootloader, the device is recoverable.
HardSPL???

What is the SPL of your device?
When recovering to WM5 you better NOT use the Mobis step 1. Any other step 1 or NVID will be fine. The Mobis ROM is too manipulated for flashing their own WM6 ROM. It will give all kinds of problems when it is used for other purposes.
I tried recovery with RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_QtekWWE_Ship.exe
and it reported error,saying that it's only for upgrade. Where to find NVID

see my thread la~~~~
dioxda2,I have read your thread. This is what I know at the moment,and what I think it should be done (correct me if I make any mistake):
-my pda boots in bootloader mode
-it shows on screen IPL:2.58.0001, SPL:2.58.0001
-it's G4 model
-it has no hardspl on it
First one wild shot:
1. Download this jumpspl http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329147
2.follow the instructions,and instead nk.nbf file from desired rom I put a nk.nbf file found in hardspl rar archive to the SoftSPL folder ,and hopefully flash hrdspl.
3.from bootloader flash any desired wm6 rom with RUU
Second solution:
1.download PVTemp
2.try to flash it from bootloader
3.if it's ok,then on to the next step like on your page one for old method.
Is there something else,diferent way to do this from bootloader?
Thanks for all help
In bootloader, try to flash this: ftp://xda:[email protected]/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe

Hi there ~~~~ tell you what~~ ^_^
1. there are 2 ways to upgrade
a. " New " Method.
b. " Old" method.
2. for more update rom flashing.... better have you device hardSPL.
then you can go by 3 means to flash....
1. straight upgrade that is: connect to PC via activesync, activate RUU right ahead ( I don't like this method as sometimes will stuck @ bootloader,
2. copy the 3 files from the jumpspl to the prophet's root directory then activate manually...
3. force bootloader ( by manually buttons combination and not reboot in 3 color hang )...
then 2 and 3 is fine, ( 3 is more convenience though), you should see " USB " at the bottom prophet screen if you did things right. ^_^,
then flash...... ^_^
This is my [size=+2]little handmade tool [/size], a combination tool with Taiwan Cook - YouZii and XDA cook - Korand,
just unzip, execute the " UPGRADE.cmd " , the some on screen clicks, wait and done. !!!
Don't forget to hardSPL before so. OK?
Enjoy ~~~
A Batch flashing tool and Korands clean rom 3.1... Check it out ! ^_^
P.S. Connection Error? Please try again ~~ ^_^

You will find it here:
ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Uploads/Prophet/Prophet-roms/
well, so I found out how to fully automate the process. sorry for the waiting, I was busy with life & some diamond and shift stuff
you can now just run an EXE that does all the downgrading and the modelid/wifi restore. no manual lnbs needed.
Description:
this uses a special SSPL, should be also OK in place of the original AthenaWrapper (or Unlocker Step 1), but I recommend you only use it for downgrade purposes.
this package includes:
- NBH to flash back to HardSPL 1.20.Olipro. can be replaced with other SPL NBH's but only with ones that are older than SPL 3.xx are recommended. this is only designed for SPL flash however, do not try other NBH types.
- SSPL which automates the restoring of wifi and modelid, which otherwise would always get corrupt when downgrading from SPL 3.xx. do not try to use another SSPL or you will corrupt your modelid and wifi and you will have to use manual tools (the Athena MAC BIN generator that I wrote & posted earlier) to restore them.
- RUU tailored to these needs. do not try to use another RUU for this purpose. also do not try using this RUU for anything else.
- BIG WARNING: do not even try to run this for any device other than Athena (not even the x7510). (I had to remove all modelid checking.) I do not take responsibility for such moronity (or any other kind of moron actions).
STEP BY STEP:
0. flash AP3newSPL OS image in preparation: http://htc-hackers.com/uploads/ap3newspl.zip
1. make sure Athena is running WM and synced with Activesync. do not try entering bootloader mode manually at this point! the way the Downgrader works relies on this.
2. extract the downloaded zip from Attachment to this post, you'll find an SPLDowngrader.EXE inside. run that EXE on your PC, now Athena should go to tricolour screen saying OliNex SSPL.
3. let the RUU flash.
3-TroubleShooting: if the RUU won't see device, uncheck the advanced functionalities in usb-to-pc settings in settings on the Athena.
4. it will reboot and also will hard reset your device. you will need to flash an OS compatible with old SPL now. if you are not sure how to do that, see "Extra help" below. after that, job is done.
5. +1: you should verify the modelid and SPL version is correct (ATHE100 and 1.20.Olipro). see "Extra help" below on how to enter bootloader mode to check.
Extra help: steps to help with flashing an OS if someone never flashed from bootloader before:
0. do not freak out if the OS isn't booting after downgrade. depends on what OS was on it before. maybe you will only get black screen but do not worry, read further:
1. you should manually enter SPL, by holding camera key (ALL THE WAY IN!!) while resetting. hold it until tricolour screen appears.
2. then use some other RUU / ROM package to flash an OS compatible with old SPL. job done.
NOTE 1: if the exe doesn't run then download and install .net framework from microsoft.com.
NOTE 2: if you just want to restore stock SPL, you must do it this way:
1. flash with this downgrader, with unchanged package.
2. flash OS compatible with old SPL 1.20.Olipro. this can be a stock OS.
3. use usual methods to restore stock SPL. this must be the last step, run only after you've restored stock OS!!!
Planned:
- dedicated stock SPL downgrade package
- dedicated SPL 3.50 upgrade package
these are all available already, just need userfriendly EXE package.
Tested and working great. Excellent Job as usual.
Thank you
Dear god thank you. Does this mean that our lords and lady of ROM cooking will be gracing us with an AP5 ROM sometime soonish?
Perfect!
Now i can try different ROM´s and be sure, i can downgrade to an other, when i dont like a WM6.1 ROM.
Thx!
Awesome Cmonex - Thanks!
Many thanks, cmonex!
Just for clarification on step 4 above,
Do I enter boatloader manullay after this step?....or once this RUU is flashed and I see the black screen, do I just go ahead and flash my desired OS without entering manual boatloader?
Thank you cmonex for this downgrader!!!!!

I edited step 4 to make it more clear - hopefully now you will see what is needed. let me know if still not clear enough.
(P.S: just to give background, RUU without manual bootloader entering will only work if WM is running because the RUU pushes enterbootloader.exe to the device which then puts the Athena in bootloader mode for flash without the user having to do anything. the exe will of course only run if there is an OS running under it.)
Hi Cmonex,
Excellent piece of work as usual, Its pretty clear as it is, You worry to much! Although
sticking with 3.5 for now, we have HTC stock, Ameo WM6 stock, and pawel's good work, and Irus's roms. Why swap?
NOW, have you got XP ROM onto Athena yet, if not why not
regards
Jay
Thanks cmonex, I get it now!
Sorry for the inconvienence!!!!
Thank you for everything ...
Is it possible once made the downgrade back to SPL 3.xx?
If this is so ... How do I do?

Just reflash with AP 4.0 again, you will have to go through all the upgrade again to get SPL 3.5 back on. Keep in mind if Pawel comes up with a new rom it may well need SPL 3.5 on to use it. I personaly think its worth waiting.

Jay

Same here, I do believe it woth waiting. We just need Pawel and AP team to give us an update on their next complete version.
Cheers
Black screen, Someone can help me!
Thanks for cmonex's contribution to Athena forum, AP4 in SPL 3.5 have given me a lot of pleasant time.
Since I discovered that the downloader has come out, because of curiosity,
I successfully downgraded to SPL1.2. Again, for curiosity, I wish to know the SPL1.2, I pushed camera buttom and soft reset at the same time, I really
seen the following:
"ATHE100
IPL-v.100
ATHE100
SPL-v1.20. Olipro"
However, I do not know how to switch back to the WM. If I press volume bottom and soft reset hole at the same time, I only get black screen with green light on. Someone can help me!
When you were in boatloader ..... I thought you were just only suppose to hit soft reset without the camera button.
Try that!
EDIT: I'm sorry panvita I read your post wrong. I thought you already flashed after the downgrade and you were only just checking to make sure you downgraded successfully by going to the boatloader screen. oops!

Before I pressed volume bottom and soft reset hole, I was able to see the program menu, and it is still AP4 program. I moved up by my finger, and htc flotouch still worked. I thought that I have had a AP4 under spl1.2, what a wonderful supprise. But after I pressed volume bottom and soft reset hole, what I could do is to go to AP3, and then to AP4, after that, go to downgrader. Finally, I went back to AP4 under spl 1.2. But strange things happened. Each time I soft reset the device, it went to customazation and calibration again. In orther words, I could not restore my backup file which eventually asked for a reset. Finally, I get a conclusion that AP4 cannot be used under spl 1.2 at least the present time. Because I got accustomed with AP4, then I upgraded to AP3 and then AP4 under spl 3.5. Just because my little curiosity, I have travelled around the world twice.

wish you had read the forum more times
it is well known that depending on the SPL version you have to get the correct rom version or you will get reset loop. AP4 is only for the newer SPL for now.
