How to upgarde ATOM to WM6 Guide ? - iPAQ rw6828, XDA Atom ROM Development

Hi All,
I am used to use a HTC Wizard and other Pocket PC's for several years, and now using atom but its very uncomfortable to use WM 5 and I am looking for How to upgrade it to WM 6 with ROMS which are available on our XDA forum (Thanks to ROM Cookers).
Like a very Good guide is given for wizard in wiki but no information as such for atom is available.
I am looking for How to Check whether My device is Locked or not and if yes then how to unlock and then safe way to up grade
I dont want my Atom to become brick.
Thanks in advance!!!!! Cheers

We would give you the solution if we knew what it was.
CID is Country_ID - when locked you have a limit on which ROMs can be loaded. For example if the CID is locked then you can't load a German ROM on a Chinese device. Unlock the CID then you can.
yeah I understand. but did you check http://en.pdamobiz.com/en/forum/forum_posts.asp?TID=440&PN=1
is this work?
I have o2 xda neo.
can I load only o2 roms? or can I load any original prophet rom(imate,qtek,o2...)? I understand I can't load modified roms...
thx thebrit

solution for g4
Well folks
Someone gave me O2 XDA Neo which was in German. I successfully used the PDAmobiz tool to convert the german to english rom and now I have no problem at all. I recommend to everyone to use the tool.

Hi guys !
The solution for G4 devices is the same as they do with Wizards,
it 's just a fact of cooking your own Rom.
I just upgraded my German XDA Neo 2.21.0001 G4 device with the new standard Qtek s200 2.10 Dutch Rom. You just leave the IPL and SPL in your device like it was and just change the Rom image. There is a nice guide from Faria in the wizard topic about cooking your own rom. Just follow the guide and set your favorite Rom on your device, simple as that !!!
It really works, just check it out ;-)
My Rom can be downloaded here :
ftp xda dev - uploads prophet - s200 Final Rom Dutch
German 2.21??? ROM
is tha a new one? where is the download possible? Just get the 2.20*** WWE

For what I read this is no solution... It's just mending the problem... Cause you'd have to do this every time you want to upgrade your rom...
How about the PDAMobiz way? Dunno if that works... But seems promising... The problem is that it hasn't got much of a feedback...
Yes you have to do it always over,
but it 's not that hard to cook your ROM,
in ten minutes it 's complete.
The PDA Mobiz thing didn't work with mine,
so I tried this ...
Regards.
What we're lacking is a real tutorial on how to cook your own roms for prophet... I don't know how to cook, but I hope someone could do one, so I could learn...

I agree anyone care to write one?
I think jesterz is going to do one after he finishes the G3 goldcard and the AKU3.3 Rom, but I'm not certain...
simple upgrade
Hi everyone.
I have some simple question.
- I have an XDA neo from O2.
- it is G4 (.0001)
I want to update it to the latest GERMAN rom. Do I have to CID-Unlock it? Which tutorial applies to my problem. And can I still do a Backup of my original Rom (or is the O2 Rom on your page a sufficient Backup?)
I hope you can help me,
CySlider.

Which wm6 ROM for O2 XDA Mini S Please?

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

Yes you should cuz you have a G4 device..
you can see here whats best rom for your wizard
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=295777
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...

WOW! Please read the Forum !

This is the very first Thread
Hi,
Can't answer all your questions but with regard to the actual upgrade then follow this thread. Its a sticky right at the top of this forum and is there to aid people through the process.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=310452
PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE follow it word for word. It works if you do this but you may get into difficulties if you don't - you have been advised.
I have successfully used the process a number of times to go back and forth between WM6 versions and then back to WM5.
Remember that if you want to go back to your original WM5 ROM you'll need the ROM upgrade for this in order to do it. The download links are there for everything you'll need for WM6 - use them.
If you are in any doubt then STOP and don't go any further. Ask for help in the forum or reread the instructions. The large numbers of issues that people seem to have are, I am convinced, caused by either not using the instructions or not following the published ones.
Having used WM6 on my Propher I'd have to say that currently the available ROMs whilst fantastic achievements, aren't really what I'm prepared to use on a daily basis. If you are happy to beta test and install your apps everytime you upgrade then go for it.
I am currently back on WM5 either until I see a WM6 ROM that I am able to use 'in anger' day to day.
I'm really interested to see if we get a working HTC Touch port - now that would be something.
Hope this helps,
RADAR
Read, Read & Read
This forum is more or less for Flash-a-holics anonymous.
If you are ready to sacrafice your precious sleeping hours and sex life, then jump to these WM6 beta ROM's.
Judge by your questions, you would be more happy:
1. Buy a Touch
2. Stay in WM5
The WM6 ROM for Prophet that you are looking for or for that matter, that many are looking for, is still in the kitchen, cooking.....
Unless you feel that you fit the pre-requitsite, or you feel humping Prophet is more enjoyable than .... then jump to the WM6 pool ......
Don't say I don't warn you before hand!

There will never be an official WM6 release for the prophet, these wm6 roms you'll find are from other pda's made ready for the prophet.
They are all safe to use if you follow the steps that you have red in the upgrade topic.
If you want the HTC Touch gadets on your Prophet you should read this topic and try out the Fantastic Mobiz v2.0b4! rom
You can always switch back to wm5 if you dislike wm6 roms
Any advice: make an backup of your contacts/messages/photoshoots ect. because you will loose anything on your phone memory and find out if you have a G3 or a G4 phone!
Have Fun

I can't say which rom is best for you, they all have their own advantages, you'll have to find out yourself which one suits you
Upgrading your rom has nothing to do with your GSM service provider, but your GPRS settings will be lost after an rom update so you'll need to know how to set them right

Update not working??

I updated my o2 xda mini s to wm6 (or so I thought) but i won't seem to run. It installs the rom ok to 100% but then restarts back into wm5. What am i doing wrong??

Done that with lokwiz but how do you know if it worked. I tried to flash to wm6 again, it got to 100% and booted back into wm5. I know something has changed cause the initial startup screens before you get to the wm screen has changed. Please help.
Go to Start> Settings > System> About.
Mine is Windows mobile 6 professional
Mine phone is also cid-locked. U can flash ur cid-locked g4 with shelltool.But be carefull with picking a rom, it musnt include ipl/spl and must be for g4 devices. NBD 8.3 works perfect on locked g4s.
Please read all sticky treads about G4 adn upgradin, cause u can brick ur phone > u can literally throw it away.
Thanks but where can I get shelltool from? I have googled it and I'm not sure on the results.
when you google for it, be site specific for this site, like so:
google search for...
site:http://forum.xda-developers.com shelltool
if that doesn't work you can always browse the forum! I bet one of those "THIS IS HOW TO FLAS H TO A G4 READ FIRST" sticky posts have the information you are looking for.
on that note, a collaboration of people with some time on their hands could revamp the wizard wiki pages, because I'd rather read the concrete information on there than scroll through several threads and posts! i'm going to start gathering information, will any of you extensive-knowledge people join me?

Upgrading help (I've checked the forums)

I did search the forums, but couldn't find an answer to most of the following:
I currently own an Atom Exec and am hoping to try some ROM upgrading for the first time. I'm not sure which ROMs I can use to upgrade. I've read the wiki a few times on ROM upgrading, doesn't seem to be that comprehensive. (Probably cos I'm really new to this!)
1. Is there any difference between ROMs for Atom and ROMs for Atom Exec? Can I use ROMs for Atom on my Atom Exec?
Based on what I've read on the wiki. There are 2 main ways to flash a new ROM. (a) by using DSUU through PC, (b) by using mini SD card.
2. DSUU is a programme I need to download an install on my PC?
I've did some reading up on HardSPL and all.
3. How is HardSPL involving in the flashing the ROM on my Atom Exec? I haven't seen anything about HardSPL in the Atom wiki. Seems like it's 2 different things?
My Atom Exec is an old phone, so I thought I'll try around flashing ROMs on it to learn more about ROM upgrading. So that when the HardSPL for Iolite becomes available, I might have the courage to try it! Haha.
But it seems ROM upgrading on Atom and on HTC T-series seems pretty different. Not sure if this experience will help me at all!
Thanks!
Ok, I think I've found the answer to my own question 2.
According to the wiki, it can be downloaded from the O2 website. However, I've browsed the website and don't seem to be able to find the program.
