HI All,
I managed to find an RUU upgrade ROM for the nike to windows mobile 6.1 but i am sure there must be something better out there to make the phone a little more pleasing to the eye and probably more functionality added in as a bonus.
does anyone know where i can get the single file ROM upgrade to win mob 6.5.
i have had a look at some kitchens but havent had the chance to look in to what they do, any advice would be appreciated.
Cheers
There's plenty of choice in these forums. Personally I'm using this WM 6.5 one http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=500021 and loving it.

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

why not try the build of it... hint hint- i will try it on mine.
i'd be happy to try it out and give feedback to improve it!
I will be more than willing to try it on my cingular 3125.

I can build image for you.. but you need to ask DES to patch your SPL to allow unsigned code
I would be glad to give it a test as well.

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?
Hi All,
I am sure this topic has been answered many times however I tried a search and cannot find the information I require. I would like to take My verizon Wireless vx6800 and uprade from WinMo 6.1 to 6.5. I have found alot of nice builds on this website. I would like to use the 6.5 designed by Ryan Mogul. My questions however is to just install 6.5 do I need to unclock my phone? I don't want to switch carriers or anything. I want to be able to have 6.5 and have MMS and GPS. I want all of the original functionality. Do I need to also get a radio cab as well as an MMS/GPS cab?
I'm sorry for the long post as I am still VERY new to this.
Thank You in advance.
NVM. i figured it out. I did ALOT of reading and after the better part of a few hours I now have 6.5 on my phone.
i have been trolling all night over the fourms , and i am lost lol

Go to your carrier's website and see if they have it. If they don't (which I believe that to be the case), then you have to go with someone's cooked rom.
no upgrade
There is currently no official stock upgrade to wm 6.5 for the alltel touch pro and i don't believe that there is going to be one now that we are verizon. with the touch pro 2 out they will be concentrating on that instead of the original touch pro.
ya i figure as much ok,
Kinda found one
This isn't exactly what you are looking for, but it's pretty close.
Try This

DUDe you roxx thxs!
Can we upgrade our Verizon HTC Touch Pro from WM 6.1 to WM 6.5? has anyone tried to do that?
Microsoft website states that only Verizon HTC Touch Pro 2 is upgradeable to WM 6.5. Is there a work around?
Would appreciate any assistance or pointers, Thanks.

I have a VZW TP, have been running 6.5 since August. Seems to be more CDMA roms at ppcgeeks (they all seem to start here though!!!)
Forget about what M$ says... you can run WM6.5.x in your TP. There is a sticky on how to flash your device in this section (you can find a link to it in my signature). I would suggest that you go through the first few posts before attempting anything as you seem to have no knowledge on this area. I don't mean to pick on you, but if you are not careful, you will end up bricking your device.
So it's absolutely possible to run 6.5 on a Verizon Touch Pro? I JUST TODAY kind of broke my Diamond, and really wanted to run 6.5 on that. I think I might get a Touch Pro to replace it, since there not too expensive, and I liked the Diamond minus the super slow and goofy WinMo 6.1. Is this even worth it? also looks like the Ozone can do 6.5 as well but that phone looks kind of worse then what I had.
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!!!!
Anything?
A hint?

hey man, instead of flashing a new rom why not try cht first. its an easy .cab install and truely is awesome. after you installed that, you can then go on to mod your phone with new clocks, skins....well just about anything really. cht offers a quality starting block to build upon. just a thought bud........

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 !!!
