Can some one know how can I get windows 6.1 for my dopod 838pro and installation procedure. I saw some preview from youtube that it will work like htc touch pro or touch diamond. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=PsSNzYftjZs
OK, look at the top bar, You should see a word that looks like this - "Search". Click on it, type in a request making sure to specify the hermes. Wow, answers galore....
Sorry I tried my level best but I can't find any wm 6.1 for my dopod 838pro. Can you plz give me any direct download link in english version. My present rom
ROM: 3.54.707.3 (07/05/07)
Radio: 1.47.00.10
Protocol: 32.80.7020.20H
Try the WM06 part of the forum, I believe heres a sticky with a heap of cooked roms and the new WM6.5 in production on various posts....
At least tell us you Hard SPLed your Hermes, look here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
You need to do this BEFORE upgrading the rom. You need Hard SPL V7.
I got problem to instal spl v7. When trying to update it after a certain next, the display gone multi color and it says that connection is no longer exist. when I check spl on my device it shows spl 2.03. I am using vista home. What to do. Sorry for bother you again.
Go to page 116,post 1160 of thread I gave you. It tells you how to install Hard SPL with the sd card.
Just remember, the sd card MUST be 2Gb or less, it has to formatted FAT32 and the spelling of hermimg.nbh is VERY important.
Cheers...
Thanks bro fainally I made it.
I still can't find the wm6.1 upgrade page. I tried HardSPL 7, it finishes in an instance, how do i check whether i have HardSPL it?
And where do i find the update for 6.1? I'm pretty new to all this, so I am kinda blur and lost now~

Go to this link first and make sure your phone has the latest version installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Follow the sets it's easy enough
After you soft reset your phone
That being done you'r now ready to flash a new rom there are plenty on the hermes windows mobile 6 thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=355
I found this rom to be the most like the one on the u-tube video
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461490
Down load the rom, extract the files
rename the ruu_sgned file to "Hermimg"
Now put a micro SD memory card in a card reader
open my computer right click the drive that represents the memory card and format it
choose the fat 32 file system.
now copy the hermimg fie to the root of the card
soft boot your phone
press the power button to comfirm the rom update and watch the progress bar
when complete
reset your phone and the new software will install
if you get a new soft ware installed do you want to reset pick no
the phone will reset when all the software is installed.
great stuff
try a few rom
find the one you like best
sry but you will need to put that card in your phone after you copy hermimg onto it
maybe you should go to the how to unbrick my phone thread
didn,t see that last post
ouch!!
here's the best chance at I solution

Hi, I already read a lot in the forum and the wiki, but as my first try to update my rom went terribly wrong I tend to ask some pros for help
I got me a used XDA1, it worked fine and was a german O2 Model. Then I got the last Update from O2 (3.19) and updated it with success. Then I wanted to unlock it with your Special Edition Rom, downloaded it and tried to apply it just like the O2 one via active sync and progam A. Result was, that my xda got stuck, now I can only see the empty transfer bar on the xda and can´t connect to the xda with active sync anymore. Both resets won´t help to bring the xda back to live the silly bar comes back every time... I can still get into the bootloader, though. As far as I understand I can still get the thing working again with a SD-Card and a rom on it? Can someone pleasepleaseplease tell me which card to buy (I don´t have one jet...) and how to get a onto this card and where I can get this rom? I still have the Files this O2 exe unzipped onto my disk and theres a nice 31MB NK.nbf in the Program/German folder. I already found the description how to flash from a SD-card with the bootloader, I just don´t know where to find the right rom and how to put it on a card... And maybemaybe, could someone tell me the right way to get this O2 xda working with a D1 card without getting it stuck again???
Thanks a lot to all your answers, I really need this thing to work again, and still ask myself how I could try to update the rom without reading enough, seems I will cry into my pillow till it works again cause it´s the only cell I got at the moment
Download xdatools and install, choose the nbf file as source and your card reader/writer as destination, choose this from the drop down menu at the bottom. You will need a 64 meg minimum sd card, a card reader/writer, xdatools and the nbf file. Once xdatools has programmed the sd card you insert into xda, push reset while holding power, when prompted push the action key which is the centre of the 4 way rocker switch. You will find many roms in the the kitchen that is kindly run my lumpistefan. Make sure to choose sd card flashing at base of screen before cooking rom. Here is the link for the rom kitchen.
http://lumpistefan.dyndns.org/
thanks a lot for the fast answer I got all the progs and the original 3.19 german o2 rom from rom kitchen. Now I´ll just have to get me a SD-Card... One more little question. I can´t turn the XDA off with the powerswitch and after reseting it also turns on automatically. I´ll have to wait till Monday to buy a SD-Card, so is there a way to get the thing off although it is still in transfermode or will I have to leave it on and in the cradle?
If you want it switched off completely, just poke once into the hole under the headphone socket, this will completely disconnect the battery, when you want it back on just push once again. Always do that procedure after flashing a rom also, push once then leave for on eminute, push once more to switch back on with new rom and noot sequence.
works fine, thanks
hi ppl,
today I ve made rom with the romkitchen, it was 2003 final and everything went ok, phone was functional until I used to try to install some newer versin of the programs I previously included in the rom. That didnt work (of course) so I decide to put another rom without those programs so I can install newer versions but when I run the romkithen exe computer report
in the dos window
error getconnectiontipe - unspecified error
error getting connectiontype
and the program for the patching report that he is trying to get the data from the device and after that he reports that
"cannot execute the remote communication program, please make sure that the usb/serial cable is properly connectes"
of course cable is connected, device syncing with the active sync and the icon is green, used to try to soft reset pc and pocketpc, to hardware reset pocket pc, to connect it to other pc and patch there, to install active sync 3.7.1, to reinstall active sync 4.2, to reinstall usb drivers on the pc, to put sim card and sd card out and to patch then... nothing helped...
what can I do ? is that due to the windows 2003 instalation on the pocket pc (had same version on other wallaby without the problems) ? can I solve that some way ?
I ve read before that patching can be performed from the SD card so I found the xda tools and osi image tool but couldnt found rom nd1 file anywhere (was stupid and didnt make copy of my previous rom)... which rom can I use just to enable USB connection and after that I ll patch it with the "normal" rom from the rom kitchen...
Ive checked those roms http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions but didnt find any nd1 file in the files I ve checked, can I use those roms with osi image tool eventually ?
which one ?
Lots of questions ... Sorry people ...
I can use it in this condition too but I d rather have an opportunity to flash it to some other version maybe.
Best regards to the community !
I think it´s just the problem that the ROM prohibits flashing via EXE-file. You have to flash via SD-Card.....
You find the ROm to write on the SD-Card in the EXE-FIle. Just extract the exe using winzip, and then you will find it in a subdirectory (normally english, or dependent on the ROM-Language...)
Stefan
Thanks a lot Stefan, so I can use some ROM from the page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=ROMVersions ?
Any advice which one should I take please (Im not using any of the operators noted there, just looking for some rom that will function ok) ?
Thanks m8 !
Yes, you can take any rom of it. Mostly the T-Mobile prohibits flashing via EXE-File, but Flashing via SD-Card is more secure in my opinion. So i´ve done 99,9% of my flashes via SD-Card, and you can believe me, i´ve done it a lot of times.....
By the way, which software has to been updated in my romkitchen?
If you give me the hints, i could try to update them....
Stefan
thanks a lot for your time and advices Stefan !
Its not a huge problem but probably we share same opinion - most of the tech guys like to see that everything work fine, if something doesnt work then we re not satisfied.
Basically problem is that I included spb pocket plus in the rom and therefore I cant install spb weather which demands pocket plus v 2.5+ and version in the rom is 2.0. I cant upgrade it coz its in the ROM, used to try to remove it from the registry but no luck, used to install latest spb diary coz the spb weather also work with the diary but looks like that the first thing weather perform is checking of the pocket plus version and if the version is not 2.5+ it stops the installation...
Probably for the most of the people spb weather is not a reason for loosing couple of hours in trying to change rom in wallaby but as I ve mentioned I like the things that work 100%, if some electronic/computer stuff work at 99% that usually bother me. Stupid - I know but thats the way it is.
Im going to patch it thru the SD, thanks again for the all your efforts now and before.
GL & HF !
Sorry...
Still need help, using the OSI tool I copyed NK.nbf file from 4.02.04_eng rom to "XDA SD Card Slot -unknown size" - coz I dont have card reader/writer at the present moment so I tought that I can put the file via the cradle connection while the card is in the wallaby...
Checked the card from the wallaby file explorer but nothing is on the card, since I had expirience with direct writing to c64 and amiga disks writing I assumed that file could be written directly to the card without OS instructions but after the reset of the wallaby it report that card shoud be formatted to become writable... Is that normal, or I should wait for the card writer reader to put the file properly to the sd card ?
If possible please help me with the link for the OSI tool patching, I cant find it anymore, checked thru the site but no luck, dont know what I have to press so the wallaby read the rom from the sd card.
Thanks Stefan & all others
success !
No help needed, I ve made it...
So dont have any fears as Stefan told unpack the rom from the self extracting archive and run osi tool, in the source field set nbf as a file type and then select extraced rom.
As a target you can set card reader/writer and also you can put the SD card in the wallaby as I did. Set the XDA SD card as a target in that case.
Its normal that after the writing (no message that writing is successfull, when it is finished OSI tool will stop) SD card become unreadable to wallaby.
Then perform actions as noted in SD card patching info
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Wallaby_HT_FlashSD
Hold the power button and soft reset. You'll be taken to the below screen:
SD DOWNLOAD
Card Type:
CE OS & BOOT
Press action to Download
Or
Press REC to Exit
Press action to download and it will start the download/restore from the SD card.
Follow the on screen instructions once its "Completed" which will consist of a " Hard Reset"
Action button mentioned above is middle button - "D PAD"
Works like a charm, now I have o2 win 2002 and later I ll patch it to 2003 SE again but without pocket plus.
Thanks Stefan and community !
Hi,
I bought a HTC 8525 (Cingular) and I have several basic questions that I still can't solve in any other forum. First of all... is the HTC 8525 the same than the Hermes?? I don't see any Cingular forum...
How do I update from Windows Mobile 5.0 to the latest version? Is it free? What's the procedure?
I want to listen to many mp3 files in random order, but my Windows Media Player allows me to play just one at a time. How can I have a playlist, or, is there a better software that I can download to listen to music and videos?
How can I download Opera Mobile? Is it free?
Can I connect an external HDD (80 Gb Lacie hard disk) to the HTC? I would need a 2-way mini usb cable, but never seen one of those...
Lastly... does anyone have any experience with another OS such as Android, Symbian or another? I wonder if it should work better than Windows Mobile... just curious
Thanks in advance!!
1. read up in the upgrading section. You will want to 1st Hard SPL your Hermes (yes, the 8525 is a Hermes). After updating to Hard SPL go to the wm section. There are a heap of cooked OS's there with a list of included apps and a general description.
2. update your library in windows explorer or get another media player. S2P is a REALLY good player and its free. Use the search funtion to find it.
3. refer to last point.
4. No. Not possible.
5. Android (Linux) is in developement but you need to be able to troubleshoot and there are problems... Symbian isn't supported.
I would suggest before posting you do a search on the forum. All the information you wanted was in the WIKI. Asking 1st without searching is the fastest way to be flamed and/or ignored. Esprcially as ALL your questions have been answered Heaps of times. Remember, the wiki is your friend....
Welcome...
Thank you very much
Thanks. I apologize for not reading previous posts or the wiki first.
Just to clarify some things:
- First I have to "Hard SPL" (I researched the Web for the term "Hard SPL" and I'm not sure what it is... neither wikipedia has any article), and then install WM 6, right?
- I like what I saw about S2P. That's what I'm gonna use Now... the search function didn't come up with any results in my HTC. But I'll figure out how to install it.
I guess that's it. Thanks again, excuse me for my language, and regards from Chile!
Go here for Hard SPL - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
Use Hard SPL V7. I'd also use the sd card method - find out in post #1160 on page 116, all app downloads there too.
Please note, Hard SPL ISN'T A GUARANTEE NOT TO BRICK YOU DEVICE BUT IS A SAFETY NET TO MAKE THINGS EASIER TO RECOVER IF SOMETHING GOES WRONG.
Type in "S2P cab". When you download the cab file copy it to the sd card and click on it. It would be best to have upgraded your OS though as you may get a "certificate not registered" error and it won't let you install. The new os's have everything you need. You can install the app to either your device or the sd card.
The WIKI we refer to isn't Wikipedia but the wiki on XDA-Developers.
Cheers...
Problems with my phone
Hi @ultramag69,
Yeah, I know you refer to the XDA-Developers wiki. I was just saying that there is not much information about all this in the web (in general).
I've had problems... I followed the steps suggested by you and the guys at that post #1160.
My phone gets to the 3 color screen and just sits there and never updates.
This is what I did:
1. downloaded Hard-SPL-V7.zip
2. extract it to my computer. Then I have RUUWrapper.exe and RUU_signed.nbh in my computer.
3. Renamed RUU_signed.nbh to HERMIMG.nbh
4. download sspl-herm
5. extract SSPL-HERM.exe and copy it to my phone, together with RUUWrapper.exe and HERMIMG.nbh
6. Run sspl-herm.exe on the phone.
7. got the tri-color screen and... it never changed (as you can see here)
Now I can't do anything... not even turn it off. I'll appreciate your advices
Your SD card has to be 2gb or less and you need to format it fat32. Make sure you back it up 1st.
Cheers...
I would also suggest not to worry about trying to run SSPL.exe if you can reset into bootloader (hold power, OK button above flywheel and reset with stylus. Hold in until it goes to the tri-colour screen) and it says -
SPL : 1.09.ds
Just make sure the sd card has been formatted fat32, .nbh file has been renamed properly and the sd card is inserted. Then reset into bootloader. It should detect the flash.
Ok so first is first.. I did read the wiki and I have searched.. even posted in a rom 3.42.50 post (i think that was it) but no replies...
so in that other post I followed the instructions.... I used a 512mb micro sd and a 64mb micro sd....
jambrose said:
FROM THE TITAN WIKI:
Flashing a phone with a micro SD card
1. With a card reader on your PC, format a non-SDHC (<=2GB) microSD card into FAT32 (tested to work up to a 4KB cluster size)
(the default size for a 1 GB would not work, also if it takes only a few seconds to format
try formating with some other slot/device. A 1 GB took over a minute to format correctly)
To format your Card - Open a DOS box and type/copy and paste this: ( format ?: /FS:FAT32 /A:1024 )
Replace the ? with whatever your SD cards drive letter is... ie: f, h, I.... Mine is G....
2. Copy the ROM to flash (xxxxxxxx.nbh) to the root of the microSD
3. Rename the ROM xxxxxxx.nbh to TITAIMG.nbh
4. Insert your card.
5. Force into the boot loader with POWER-CAMERA-RESET
6. Follow the instructions and you'll quickly flash your Titan...
7. You may have to soft reset once it says the update is complete
(If you are using UC let the customizations run so it will read the SDConfig.txt file)
This will work to flash with an official ROM and radio, I think regardless of the boot loader you have installed. But ensure that you have the correct boot loader (olipro 2.40 for this GPS ROMs) installed for when you do eventually finish with your flashing and are ready to boot into the OS.

so i have been trying this for a while tonight.. cant get it to work...
I am getting the Loading... screen.. all grey but that is it...
512mb micro sd... TITAIMG.NBH file exists...
any ideas??
I did not install olipro 2.40... should I??
alot of views but that is it..... hmm...
ok I installed nueSPL-2.47
so now it says.,.
TITA100
SPL-2.47No2Chem Titan SPL EVT CPLD-9
still cant get it...
now trying to boot to upgrade the rom I get the reg, green, blue, white part of the screen... and it says serial....
can anyone help me???
it sounds to me like you have nueSPL installed correctly.
In the past I have had problems with formatting sd cards, the only reliable way I have found to format them so that they work for flashing roms is to use the nue format utility... it is up somewhere on nuerom.com
It will erase everything on your card, so back it up first
after the card has been formatted, copy the "TITAIMG.nbh" file to the root of the card
Put the card in your phone and reboot into bootloader mode
it should detect that there is a rom image on the card and ask you to press the power button to continue.
The flashing process takes about 1 minute to complete (so much faster than using activesync)
Once everything is done it will say something like "process complete", and then you soft reset and you are done
which rom are you trying to install?

2.b. iGuidance
3. few games
4. Sirius radio via wifi
I do not have a data plan.... was going to get one soon but just bought a 2008 silverado z-71 crew cab.. so car payment is a bit much... so dont want to fork out the extra on a data plan.....
I have to check again but I think this is the one im going for...
Titan M2D Round 4 ROM (DCD 3.2.6 and TouchFlo 2D)
my biggy was getting the radio upgraded more importantly for better GPS... however I have got it to sync yet.... well im inside the house and cant get it to sync... raining outside too....

I am glad that you were able to get it working. I enjoy flashing different roms, but am not really a nit-picky user.
I fonally donated to no2chem today so that I can use his nueRom3-pre3, it is a pretty nice rom that gives you the option to disable your camera and get an extra 8 MB in free ram, I am also really liking the nueWifiSwitch. But like I said you have to donate to get the rom, and I have only been using it for 6 hours or so.
before that I was pretty much exclusively on a custom build of DCD 3.2.6, just a bare minimum rom, which I like because I flash quite often.
It does seem like people are liking the "Titan M2D Round 4 ROM" a lot. It looks pretty good, in fact it even includes a program that I made, Manilla 2D Customizer, which will let you tweak Manila 2D and apply some themes.
Good luck, and I hope flashing your rom via SD card goes a little bit smoother than your radio flash
Hi guys
I own a HTC TYTN (Vodafone 1605) having WM5 and would like to have latest updates and features on it. I checked HTC site and i suppose they are not offering any updates for this model.Please help since i am not very used in doing upgrades etc.

It may be old but it still works great.
It might be old but i like it. It doesn't hang and all my 3rd party apps work flawlessly even TOMTOM 7.
What ROM would you suggest?
At the moment I'm using REVROM Lite. I changed the flash screens though as I like some others better. I also use Tomtom 7 though I have it installed on my sd card and just send a shortcut to windows startmenu folder. Have no probs whatsoever.
Its really fast and seems to be stable with me NOT having to soft reset at all for the last 2 days... You gotta admit thats pretty decent performance, I've also had no HR's or freezes. Could just be I've finally found the rom and setup that is good for me...

Yeh, i hear ya. I actually flashed two other ROMS on my phone tonight just to see what they were like, but i'm going back to schaps. It was stable and it seemed to give good battery life. I have all my 3rd party apps installed to my 8GB SD card to save space on my phone. Seems to work for me. Thanks for your input. Two heads are better than one unless one of them is a goathead. LOL Anyway thanks again.
Have been having similar problems upgrading my HTC TyTN from its official WM5 to the Official release of WM6. Every ROmor upgrade or program I have used has failed once it has switced the phone into bootloader mode even using Hard-SPL. Ive being crazy trying to find a solution. Hasnt help that Ive had enough trouble getting started thanks to using Vista-64bit and its driver signing problems. I have since sorted that problem and am now not getting any further with flashing the ROM.
I wouldnt class my self as an expert but I also would consider myself a novice as I build PC's and have flashed both my Xbox 360 and my PSP so am used to working in the shady underworld.
Vista Home premium
Ok here's what i've found with vista. I run AVG anti virus and spybot search and destroy on my laptop. When i use my laptop to flash a rom to my phone i have to turn both off. Even then when i flashed to the OEM cingular rom i had to put my phone in bootloader for it to flash. If i let the program put it into bootloader it wouldn't work. Now, when i flashed to shcaps and my preferred radio rom it worked fine as long as advanced network funtionality WAS checked. Before i found these fixes though i used the SD flash method which is in my opinion the best way to go since it is so simple. That is the way i flashed my Axim X51V so i was familiar with that method, i just had to figure out the correct procedure for the phone.
This is from the post that explains SD flash.
1. download hardspl v7 from the first post.
2. extract ruu_signed.nbh and rename it to HERMIMG.nbh
3. copy it to a microsd card, make sure the card is formatted as fat32
4. download sspl-herm from here
5. extract SSPL-HERM.exe and copy it to your phone.
6. insert sd card and run sspl-herm.exe on the phone.
7. you should see the tri-color screen and then it should change to this
8. press power button to start flashing
9. reset when you get the msg that its done
Good luck
OH and if you need the official Cingular WM6 ROM you can download it here.
If you have Hard SPL installed ignore the steps using SSPL.exe as that is Soft SPL. It's not as safe as Hard SPL.
Cheers...
PS. make sure you use a 2Gb or less sd card as the bootloader won't recognise sdhc cards, format FAT32 (most cards are default formatted FAT) & make sure of your spelling as it won't work otherwise - hermimg.nbh.
thank´s you all for help me upgrade HTC TYNT
