I really don't want to risk bricking my brand new hurricane, and I would guess I'm not alone, so I wanted to start a general discussion thread for anyone who is happy with wm5.2 the way it is. Things like shortcut remapping, filesystem opening (for the depraved SDA II people, and other things that would be nice to see on a wm5 hurricane.
Where can i find a good (so no chinese) wm5 rom for my Hurricane?
I bought my Hurricane with wm2003SE installed, but that OS sucks
Now i have installed WM6 Graphite v2.0 on my Hurricane, but i would like to try a good WM5 version.

Hi, Im looking at buying a hermes to upgrade from my htc wizard and am just wondering if there are any cooked roms for the hermes, like the ones on the wizard forum. E.g Faria's aku 3.3 v2 rom. Its an excellent rom and although im aware that there is an aku 3.3 rom for the hermes, i like the slipstreamed brilliance of cooked roms done by Faria etc over carier roms. Is there maybe a way to boot this rom on the hermes, as i currently have it on my wizard or some other option. I looked in the ftp directory and there is nothing special there.
Thanks alot!!!
not so sure of flashing the Wizard ROM onto the Hermes... but as the Hermes device is relatively new there arent that many ROM cooking tools out there yet... there are some but you risk creating bad blocks in the NAND memory... read this for more information http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG
Ok thanks. hmm so that means i may have to wait a while before anything of farias roms calibur is to be succesfully and relativly safely flashed to a hermes. Well at least now i know its possible. I guess i can only leave it up to you geniuses here at the xda and wait until they brew up some magic, because from what ive seen so far on the hermes forum, the device looks like its got a lot of potential....heck gps thread looks awsom!
Keep up the good work.
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 all,
I've had a look at some of the threads discussing upgrading to WM6 (or above) but I'm left a bit confused, there are many different versions by the looks of it. Which version would be best for my SPV M600 (unlocked Orange), I'd like as many features as possible.
Thanks
My boot info
IPL 2.10.0001
SPL 2.10.0001
GSM 02.07.20
OS 2.10.22
I'm using Vista on my pc.
Because your device is a G4, it may not be possible to upgrade with Vista...
However, many ROMs have different features... Gullums Touch series, or Coffie ROMs have many features and a lot of programs integrated so may be somewhere to start but trying some ROMs out is the only way you'll find what you really like.
You have a G4 device and you must HardSPL before flashing a ROM.
i was facing the same problem myself only a few weeks ago but i read all the sticky posts and the wiki then took the plunge and i upgraded to maxniper's wm6 touch bow this runs stable on my G4 spv and it is full of useful apps and features now as you can see in my signature i have over clocked and upgraded my spv has been officially pimped by the xda community

Hello all. I'm sorta new to xda-developers. I've had a membership for a while just so I can download apps but have never really read through the forum.
Today, I found out about ROMs. I have a Cingular 8525 with WM5 on it. Is it really possible to upgrade it to WM6 with a ROM?! I've been trying to figure it all out by reading the wiki and such but it just seems like wm5 to wm6 is such an enhancement, you would have to pay money for it!
Please, someone either encourage me or completely smash my hopes.
Yes, yes you can.
Awsome...
I come from the world of Palm where you don't get major updates for free. I'm not used to this kind of thing
Before you upgrade, PLEASE, read a bit. Rushing in is a sure fire way to brick your Hermes. You need to Hard SPL your Hermes first to give you a measure of protection if something goes wrong with the flash. You can get Hard SPL V7 from the upgrading section, use search to find, its also a sticky on the upgrading section.Your SPL should be SPL 2.10 oli for safety.
Cheers...
Hi I am looking for a Hermes WM5 Kitchen with OEMS, package, instructions, flashing tools etc. Just got a Hermes, have used kitchens and roms on my Apache before ie.ppcgeeks.com ftp. They've been great especially been able to tick selections in BuildOS. Hermes is a bit different. There seems to be plenty of links here & on google for WM6, 6.5 kitchens for Hermes but no WM5 (WM5's history) So trying to get a copy off someones hard drive. The forums are great have read up on Hermes XDA wiki. Tried breaking down a HTC WM5 stock rom with Hypercore kitchen (nerve racking). Haven't completed that yet but was wondering if anyone has or knows someone or have links which could help that would be great. I am a bit of a WM5 fan have used it since I've had my Apache & am happy with it. Don't like alot of junk & the lack of being able to really customise and play with stock roms.
Now most of the kitchen is wm6.5
Go to the WM6 section...
