I was browsing a Orange Outlet today and saw the Hurricane for 20 pounds, I was tempted to buy it just to see how much I could upgrade it.
I've never been to this side of the forum before, I own a Trinity but, let me ask, is wm6.1 cooked roms working ok on the hurricane?
For those of you in Britain, I'll be more than happy to tell you where i saw the Hurricane for 20 pounds.
Then again, maybe that's expensive, is it?
i don't know what prices are in Britain, but in Poland 20 pounds it's real good price for this device.
At this moment you can upgrade it to WM 6.1 Standard (Chinese/English) or to WM 6.1 Prof
ps. very soon, maybe tomorrow i will upload my wm 6.1 Standard rom
I think I am going to buy that phone and give it go, too bad it isn't 3G. Thanks for the info, i truly appreciate it.

where abouts?also what does it come with (box,manuals etc etc)
There's a Orange outlet Clearance store in Braintree, Essex at the Freeport Designer Village. http://www.freeport-braintree.com/
I don't know exactly where you are but, if you are close or passing by check it out. It does come in the box with Manuals and everything the only drawback is, it is locked to Orange (no problem for you) and you must buy it with 10 pounds topup from Orange, bummer.

When you upload your WM 6.1 Pro, please let me know. I have bought the phone and unlocked it after several tries. Anyway it is unlocked and good get a cooked rom on it now. My thing is I don't know how to use the bin rom, this is real new to me. If I could get a ruu rom that would be real good for me, if not you might have to give me detail destructions on how to use a bin Rom.
there are no ruu wm6/6.1 roms. only *.bin format.
if you don't know how to upgrade rom with this file format, read other threads.
i must change Arcsoft MMS to better and add Java Emulator, then i will upload my rom

Hi Guys,
Just to say THANKS to everyone out there, not only the developers but the normal mortals too - who put in effort to help people here.
I have uploaded the Windows mobile 2003 to my site. Its on a super mega link (great words :wink: ) I get 1meg a sec+ when i download from it at work !
http://www.ali.nildram.co.uk/xda/
Cheers Guys
Ali
You are my hero....... :lol:
:lol:
Your welcome !
Thanks again XDA-Developers
Any "gotcha's" in this release. Is it pretty stable?
Regards
Keith Burke

other than can't turn off gprs easily... its fab
system wide cleartype
excellent sms + contact management
generally more polished release !
Well I have taken the plunge already and it upgraded like a dream.
Although you cannot initially see massive changes it just feels better and looks a bit more appealing (only subtley though). Its a bit like when XP (without the god awful new nav system) was released, everything felt a bit crisper.
All in all I am chuffed with it and look forward to getting to grips with whats underneath.
Cheers again Ali, and although I am VERY grateful I cannot wait for a SE Rom to see just what weird and wonderful things the development gods bring us.
Just as and addon to this post - I am an EXTREMELY happy bunny now as I have been having major issues with my XDA not recognising my SMS message centre number previous and not allowing me to send texts. This happened no matter what Rom I used. U/g to PPC2003 and lo and behold shove the sim in and its all sorted.
For once (even though I dont think its down to the OS) I will take my hat off to MS and say ta.
HI Ali,
Great work.
Does this exe file work with windows 98?
Anyone out there had used win 98 with this and no problems?
Cheers
Vic
hello mate,
To be honest, I have never tried it with Win98, only XP.
I would defiantely make sure before upgrading !
Btw, do you happen to have the 4.005 release?
I like the direct approach :lol:
no :roll:
I want it though !... anyone care to share and I will upload it for all
I really hate people that have the release and yet publish on the forum and yet giving reason that cannot be understood.
It would be better not to share what you have if you do not intend to let the public to enjoy it. :?
exactly,
Whats the point of talking about it and then keeping it yourself?
we should share !

XDA Asian version
Hi,
what if I use the latest version of Windows Mobile 2003 Ali uploaded on my XDA ? Current versions are:
ROM version: 3.14.17 ENG
ROM date: 10/11/02
Radio: 4.17
Protocol: 32S54
Will I have problems with the radio version ?
Thanks,
So what now ?
:lol: So what now ? :?:
Downloaded Installed Working some kind of GREAT !
Is it the latest version ?
Ali-Butt posted the same release as was posted here 2 weeks ago. its 4.00.01. it just works via activestink. as Xda-developers posted before, updating through programme A is not the safest thing to do. just in case have ur sd card reader ready. also there is a slight chance that ur bootloader might get corrupt. they said it happened. that's why safest way to do it is via SD card.

Hi tried the download got Winzip can not open file.
Help
RGS///Peter

I had the same problem at first. I set it off downloading twice and each time it didn't complete the 15.2MB (or whatever), one around 3.4 and another 1.7ish. Even though the file seemed to complete on both occasions.
What I did in the end was sit and watch it, whilst leaving the original screen with the download link loaded...rather than closing it once the download began. That time it worked a treat.
Cheers

Is it possible?
The new XDA IIs has WM2003SE in the ROM image, so would it be possible to steal it from there and add it to a home cooked XDA II rom?
Is there a ROM Kitchen available for the XDA II, or is it only available for the XDA I?
Thanks in advance for your help.
1. still Not Possible at the moment !

1. It will never be possible to steal the complete ROM, since the hardware is different and unlike PC-operating systems, PocketPC ROMS don't have drivers for multitude of hardware. Hardware independant pieces of software could be chipped out and ported to another, like SRS.
2. :lol:
I've used WM2003SE on my XDA2 & it works fine. In fact seemed to be rather more stable than the one it replaces.
It was a NFR version & I've since gone back to 1.72.181 'cos I want Blackberry
Then you must be one of the lucky few who got their hands on a XDAII WM2003SE Rom.
If NFR means NotForSale, that is why we never saw it.
But if you could share, plz
What I meant was that a WM2003 ROM of an XDAIIs can not be used on a XDAII.
I'm pretty sure I could make you a WM2003SE with blackberry support.

Do you still have any of this ROM???? If so please post it here asap as it means a lot of effort can be saved in trying to rip it.
mr puff, maybe you could share the WM2003Se?
pfft zif he'll share
IF is exists WHY hasnt anyone uploaded a WM2003SE ROM for Himalaya???
This means we get (amongst others) Landscape, plus the Possibilities of using the new Intellidialer
I would very much like to try it!!!
Puff: PLZ upload the rom package. We wont tell anyone! :wink: And we wont resell it. promise!
i'm sure someone would volunteer to get the file and upload it somewhere...
Should be nice to trie ... MR Puff or other nice guy could share your rom ...

Is a law problem ? NDA ?

People,
You are placing him in very akward position. He is probably under NDA of some kind. Those "releases" usualy very easy to track down to a particular person :roll:
Wait until some kind of "group" will release it. :twisted:
Puff we are all waiting your cooperation
please if you still have the SE ROM. :wink:
Was better don't know that there is this kind of ROM ... now we know ...
:lol: :lol: :lol:
Just a thought
Let's assume that this Himalaya SE ROM exists.
All major providers would easily have access to it.
The only reason for not releasing that, and ask people involved to sign NDAs, is to push sales of the newer hardware.
Which is an acceptable policy, from the viewpoint of a single company.
But when the good old competition works as it should, there is always one of the player breaking these situations.
If this does not happen, it is easy to guess that there is an agreement between the providers for not releasing the upgrade.
Now, that is against the law.
Just a thought, in case anyone involved in antitrust commissions would be reading this forum ...
FYI...

To Puff
could you please upload your ext.ROM ?

thank for advanced.
Let's get some rumors and discussion going here. I definitely want to flash my phone with WM6.
Anyone heard anything about a potential release/leak?
I know I heard somewhere that they are/were using the StrTrk as a test device for the Smartphone (standard?) edition of WM6, but haven't heard much else of it....
No news here but I've heard the same as you, the StrTrk was used as a test phone for WM6. I've emailed HTC Support but who knows if they'll ever reply.
I think with the new rumor of the StarTrk replacement, HTC S420/Erato, there isn't going to be a WM6 unless you get it from a custom build or from another platform/vendor. Past experiences show that vendors would rather us buy a whole new phone. But....This gives you something to look forward to. Just in a new version. IMHO - A much better upgrade in the clamshell design.
Thread started here on the new phone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297847
Enjoy -
And from most accounts - HTC isn't going to update their pre-existing hardware to WM6. There have been a few rumors stating they will but from most of the official responces from HTC it's not looking likely. Our best bet is to hope somebody releases a leaked test rom and then the cooking can start

Heh, that's exactly what I've been hoping for....just hopefully someone gets their hands on one...
seems we can port wm6 to startrek. we have several nk.exe files of wm6 for omap 850, other drivers are compatible from wm5. you only need patched spl with disabled nbh check, as hermes does. anyhow having no startrek i won't do it, i just give you a hint

I wonder if Des, Olipro or Pof have a StrTrk - they'd be the most likely to be able to do such a thing I think
Is there even any smartphones that have WM6 available or running yet?
Yup, there's a WM6 ROM floating about for the Dash / S620 so I hear...
Hm...so if we can get our hands on one of their ROMs, could it theoretically be adapted to the StrTrk?
Maybe but I've yet to see any cooked roms for the StrTrk (I'm hoping it's close enough to the TyTN that it's tools can be modified).
I guess I see two real problems with that. First, as I said, no real kitchen to cook in (unless I'm missing something which is quite possible)
and two, it is MUCH easier to cook a rom intended for your device then to port it from one device to another, while I suspect it would be do-able (assuming that we get the proper driver support - not nesc the same as WM5) it won't be easy to port from one device to another - remember there's some specialized hardware on the StrTrk - out screen etc (while WM6 is supposed to support external displays, I think it will require a driver).
By all means, please if you have the brains and ability, cook away, I look forward to your rom I certainly am no where near the smartest guy in these forums and am sure there are a number of people here more the capable of doing so. If somebody sent Pof, Des, Dutty and Olipro and some others a StrTrk we'd see some good tools in here in no time
That said, I'm still hoping a mystery rapidshare link appears
I hear ya...unfortunately, I don't know anymore than you do
There will be a high probability that WM 6.0 for HTC StrTrk is let out, in fact same the same WM 5.0 with AKU 3.0 and the changed interface.
If has appeared WM 5.0 AKU 3.0 from Cingular that is hope!
Hi to all! I've moto mpx200. Where i can find WM6 for it?
UK from here
http://tm-phonedownloads.com/sd_ameo.html
RUU_Athena_TMO_UK_2.35.110.4_1.50.00.00_Ship.exe
(and wm5 ship if need be).
Sweet- has anyone tried this yet?
also has original WM5 shipped Rom
Hi I am currently using the AP touch rom and don't envisage trying this for a while, bit I noticed that they had the original wm5 rom for download so this may be useful to others wanting to send their phones back with the original software.
I would be interested to see what programms were included
can some one upload it in rapid share. i have 7500 and 7501 so i cant download it..

I think that is enough of a public apology, here you go mate it's valid for 7 days or 100 d/l's which ever comes first !!
http://download.yousendit.com/7DF421693524C9CE
Will download and install and see if its faster then other wm6 around and also what the radio version of this rom is. here is also rapidshare and i have packed them in win RAR:
http://rapidshare.com/files/73764297/Athena_WM6_TMUK_2.35.110.4.rar
see what it gives us !!
T-Mob Ameo WM6
Personally, I've already reverted to the PK ROM
After making the necessary registry changes for A2DP, the T-Mob ROM refused to give me the wireless stereo option, whereas the same changes on the PK ROM have been absolutely wonderful and my headset works as expected.
I'm also no expert on ROM version numbers, which was why I got confused when I saw this...
On bootscreen:
PK shows B 06 2.19
TM shows B 06 2.35
Yet, on the about screen:
PK CE OS 5.2.1933 (Build 18533.0.7.0)
TM CE OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
I also think the T-Mobile WM6 ROM just looks far too much like their WM5 ROM.. no comm manger on the today screen for one just gets on my teats
The developers gets my uttmost respect for their work on their ROMs - keep it up, I look forward to previewing the next ROM from the team here on XDA-Devs.

THANK YOU....
the t mobile rom rocks man
hey the rom is pretty cool(not as beautiful as AP)
it has the same radio built
the thing i loved most is that the text looks richer and has vga resolution.
Yes the icons are large but the text is in VGA(Ap just have alook and please consider it in ur next update coz just because of ur sincere work Athena has lived)
the camera icon and other icons are quite funky.
the rom is alltogether snappy though old aku built.
try it out guys
For the official dutch version look at http://member.htc.com/ruudownload/t-mobile/TMobileWM6Step1-TMNL.aspx
So I have had my HD2 a few months now and I've been happy with the stock look and feel.
Now I would like to start trying a few of the xda add ons and roms.....
However I do not wish to blindly jump...I figured I would ask the pros here.
So I would like to move up to the newer windows 6.5.x ( not sure what version were at), with the task bar at the bottom.
So I am on the Rogers Network ( Ontario Canada), with an Unlocked HD2.
I bought it on line but was unaware at the time I got wrong unit for here, as I only have edge...no 3g ( Unit from Hong Kong via Vancouver and ACEGSM).
No worries though, as I do not need 3G as I do so little on line on phone...Weather, a little FB, Yahoo mail, MSN Mail....so Edge works awesome for me.
So if I am to flash say mainly a stock look and feel to start, where should I start?
As said, phone came from Hong Kong
OS Version 5.2.21869
Manila Ver. 2.5.19211619.0
ROM Ver 1.66.707.1 WWE
Radio Ver. 2.07.51.22_2
What would my best picks be for my unit?
Is there an Oficial HTC Flash that brings me to the updated windows 6.5.x?
Is there someone who could advise me on what way is dumb guy proof ?
I can flash, as I flashed my Typhoon enough times......but a Typhoon and an HD2 are 2 different beasts.
Many Thanks in advance for any who step into the Yoda roll here!!!!

Many Thanks !! I will try this out first.
So I still nned to find out, is there an HTC rom upgrade to move me up to Windows 6.5.3 ??? (or what ever the latest version is )
Or is that only by using a rom from XDA?
The reason I ask is it would be nice for me to have the buttons along the bottom of the screen, rather then the 2 screen buttons and the start at the top.....my thumb is rather stubby, so getting to start is a 2 hand job
There arent any official 6.5.x roms with the bottom start button, you'd have to HSPL your device and use a cooked rom for XDA.
Check the stickies in the rom development section for all the info you need on this.
Im not gonna make an assumption as to which model of HD2 you have, if it is the american model (green and red hardkeys / big fat double chin) then you need to be aware of the radio your flashing....
Seeing as you got it from HK then its probably not that one, better safe than sorry though....
As long as you read up on the subject first and make sure your reading the correct information for your device you cant really go wrong.
95% of the "bricked" phone horror stories you see on here are down to people not doing their homework first....
You mention that you'd prefer a close to stock feel for a custom rom so probably either an "artemis" or one of dutty's roms would be your best choice....
To be honest though if your happy with the performance your getting from your stock rom then it might not be worth the switch unless you really really want the 6.5.x look.....
+1 on the CHT suggestion too.
A must have (in my humble opinion) for any HD2....
Hope that helps.......
Many many many Thanks !!! Both donwhann and conantroutman !!!!!!
I will try CHT first before a flash, then when I have read, reread, understand the steps required I will try the roms named.
I have to say XDA is an awesome place to learn....it was a godsend giving my SMT 5600 (Typhoon) new life. As my friend who now uses my old phone will tell you.
Now I will be able to keep my HD2 feeling fresh and fun, thanks to XDA and it's awesome people
Thank you greatly for the advise !!!
