Hi,
sorry am a noobie to the scene but I was wondering is it possible to Upgrade my HTC Touch Pro to Windows Mobile 6.5? I am currently running the Elite RC3 custom rom. Its very good but i have a few niggles with it and i like the 6.5 interface and i hear it is better on battery and runs faster.
So is it possible to upgrade from Windows Mobile 6.1 to 6.5?
Regards

Before you get flamed lemme just say.....
Yep.....
cheers brannutz I fink i will be upgrading tonight then
6.5 runs like a champ on my Fuze.
Good luck and have fun trying out all the ROMS. Plenty of great ones to choose from.

Does anyone know the official release date for win mo 6.5, I'm kinda' sick of Betas...
I've only tried RRE 6.5, and it's about perfect for me. I wasn't sure about CHome at first, but I'll never go back to Manilla.
I've tried various ROMs until now, but I still think that the official ROM is the best... I did not have any problem with it... but I'd like to use win mo 6.5 on my Raphael...
Will there ever be one for TouchPro? So far I know 6.5 is only available for TP2 and Diamond2.... as an official upgrade.
win mo 6.5 for htc
can any suggest were to get win mo 6.5 for htc touch and how to install , thankx
does this work on my wizard???
or on my diamond??

Read that.......best source of info on updating the GSM versions.
Runs great on my FUZE, and as another poster stated, took me a couple days to warm up to the Chome UI, but, now that I have, the last update (RRE's), I did the "no manilla" version.
PLEASE!
There are countless posts for "noobs". Everyone is here to help out, but sometimes the frustration over answering the same questions 1,324 times gets old. There are sticky's at the top of EACH section, look for those.
I know there are at least 2 "noob" sticky's for flashing the roms for first timers. I'm not a vet at flashing, but I'm not a noob either, but, the sticky for first time rflashers is VERY WELL THOUGHT OUT and works exactly as advertised.
Please, if you want help, at least try to look for the answer. If you don't know how to do a search, or how to use this BBS forum, there are plenty of
help & FAQ's at the top of each board.
Have fun here, but please look before you leap

Hi, I am also looking to upgrade to windows 6.5 Currently I am running 6.1 with Energy Rom2.0 How do you do the upgrade to 6.5
I know the procedure to flash a ROM, I guess the question is does flashing a rom for 6.5 automatically upgrade the OS as well?
What is the procedure for upgrading the OS?

there isn't one and how can you get sick of BETAS when they aren't beta.
the roms out there are made from the officially updated versions that winmo makes so if anything they are the most updated as possible roms.

there is no new procedure to upgrade the OS you just flash the 6.5 rom, there is no new set up no new settings for the first time, just flash like normal.:]
Thanks so flashing a 6.5 ROM will also upgrade the OS from 6.1 to 6.5 right. Just want to make sure. I Do NOT want to brick my phone
Well, a ROM is what contains the OS so yes.

Greetings all, I have a probably dumb question I can't seem to find an answer to:
Today I installed HardSPL v1.20 as a stand-alone (through the wrapper?) and now I want to upgrade to AP4, but I see that it requires SPL 3.5? I downloaded the AP4.0 installer from the official thread and tried to install it, but it stalls out (because of my SPL version?)
In any event, I am pretty confused right now, and just need some guidance. Do I want to run AP4 on SPL 1.2? Or is there an advantage to using SPL 3.5 instead?
Thanks in advance,
Rob
If I were you, I'll wait for AP5 on SPL 1.2. Beta is due out soon.
Agree with the sage from above post.
AP4 is great rom, being enjoying it, many thanks to the great AP Team.

the AP4 installer puts SPL 3.5 on your machine.
If it didn't work , you haven't followed the instructions correctly.
may I suggest reading the thread to see the problems that were resolved
Further , if you want to try AP5 now you must have SPL3.5
have you read the guide?
http://www.htc-hackers.com/uploads/AP4_How_To_1.8.pdf
I read the how to
I followed the directions in the 1.8 how to guide, and even tried it on two different Vista machines and an XP machine, all with the same result. When I run the .exe to actually start the update it writes the pmemdump and itsutils files to the folder and then it just stalls and never goes further. I made sure the machines had .net, etc. I am just stuck and don't understand why I can't get the AP4 installer to go further. Thanks!
are you sure you did step 7 and 10?
if you have then try another cable, sometimes the connection is dodgy
Actually I am interested in the answer to the final question that started this thread.
What are the advantages to switching from SPL 1.2 over to SPL 3.5? It would seem that with the inability to switch back to 1.2 in order to load a stock ROM if you ever wanted to that switching over to 3.5 is a one-way trip. So it would seem to be important to know what the benefits are of such a change.
I have read all the threads looking for this answer and all I have been able to gleem is that to load AP 4.0 or the current beta AP 5.0 you must switch, but with the Irus ROMs that allow the features of AP 4.0 on SPL 1.2 it would seem that isn't much of an advantage anymore.
I am sure I probably have seen and read somewhere here some advantage, but I guess it just didn't sink in or make sense to me. So for a simple guy, what are the advantages to switching over to SPL 3.5?
Thanks in advance.
Why is everyone so scared of SPL 3.5? It's running perfectly fine on my Advantage.
Why : if you want to sale the athena you can't .... If you want to go back to an original shipped rom you can't (except for wwe or fre htc branded rom until now)
Off course ap4 or ap5 is realy a very good job!

If you want to sell it? First off, I've never had to warrant ANY device I've bought. Second, it's out of your hands once you sell it. I've always sold my devices with custom ROMs and the buyer hasn't said a word.
off course only if you want to sale it...lol
and it is very difficult to sale it if you tell to the buyer that we wont be able to flash any rom...
as soon as cmonex will publish the downgrade too everybody will try ap5
Because it is a one way street that limits your choice to ROMS that still have many issues. This forums clearly shows there are many unesolved bugs, which is why we need AP5 to fix them. Of course we hope AP5 will be able to solve these issues. Yes, there is the option of AP3, but you can have that in spl1.2.
Because there is no need to bloat up the ROM with third party software since we can install them ourselves. We may never want those software, depending on pesonal preferences.
Becaus we want more available memory.
Because we can also have AP4 with spl1.2 (irus version), which still needs some work.
So, why go spl 3.5?
First in response to an earlier post, I am not scared of 3.5 rather I just wanted to know what the advantages were of moving to it since you can't currently move back. And it does seem there are issues with AP 4.0.
I understand for some the concern is being able to restore a stock ROM in order to sell their Athena. Since I never plan to sell mine, not an issue.
Now if 3.5 maximizes memory such that we get more available memory than that might be a reason to convert.
But if the only reason out there is AP 4.0 then maybe waiting until AP 5.0 is out fixing many of the issues I have read about in other threads.
Is there any other reason to move from 1.2 to 3.5 ?

SPL 3.5 in a quick answer, is just a tool to modify the partition table of your device, increasing space available for ROM (and reducing the space available for YOU ). AP team developed it after they finished building the AP4 from the new ADVANTAGE ROM (X7510) and the ROM doesn't fit into the original ATHENA partitions.
Do you have any advantage modifiyng the partitions in your PC? YES, if you need a bigger one, NO if you don't.
The only advantage is the capability to use AP4 and AP5 full edition
The SPL 3.5 installed haven't any "software" effect, is just a sign of the newly partitoned ATHENA, Having it installed and using IRUS rom (developed for SPL 3.5) means you are wasting some available space, comparing with the SPL 1.2 version.

Thanks for this nugget of information. Now I understand better what or how I'm readying my AP4 upgrade.
Yea, SPL3.5= Pure breed X7510 roms, SPL1.20 ( and others)=ported stuff
If this is a advantage, only the user can say
Thank You. That clears up completely what 3.5 provides versus 1.2.
So if 3.5 is just a re-partitioning of the memory on the Athena to allow for 7510 ROMs then it would make sense to move to it since most future ROM releases will be based on the 7510s ROM.
On that note, in the future would it be possible to load even a stock 7510 ROM on an Anthena with the 3.5 set-up? Or is 3.5 a proprietary set-up created by the AP group here?
Sorry for the additional questions.
most future ROM releases will be based on the 7510s ROM.

Don't know about that, Irus rom is 6.1 based and for what people say they seem to be OK, all depends on what developers want to release, there is no reason why it cannot be developed new rooms for the X7500/7501 format.
Basically since the newest rom came from X7510 you have to choose between modify the X7500 (spl 3.5) or modify the rom to fit our devices.
SPL 3.5 caveat, it wont let you go back to what you had previously, said this I using AP4 and for my is top notch, your choice.

good question.
(except for wwe or fre htc branded rom until now)
Can somebody tell me where to find
ok couple vexing things happening here.
my device was using 90% memory no matter what I deleted. was running oem spl 1.1 and wm6 from HTC for a long time.
so after reading here, I upgraded to spl 1.2 and radio 1.58 with no problems THANKS XDA!
memory usage has gone way down. HOW can this BE? havent changed the WM6 just the radio and spl.
anyway the new issue is what ROM to choose! i do need pocket excel and word that comes with the wm6 on there now. but would also like faster performance if possible. does one rom run the athena faster than another?
so any input would be greatly appreciated.
oh also what is "AP4" and what is the advantages of SPL3.5 ? i wouldnt mind being able to partition the memory into one big section, since I run a 16GB mini sd card. is this possible?
sorry for the noob questions but everyone here was once a noob. everyone. lol
now... if this unit were only transflexive screen
I was never a noob. Seriously.
I suggest Michy's 4.1 for a solid and fast ROM. It also has some pre-installed software that activates the transflexive screen option.
1.2 and 3.5 are flavors of SPL. 3.5 basically gives more of your device's memory to the space where the ROM is. More space gives cooks more room to include more pre-installed software like that cool transflexive screen thing.
AP stands for Athena Project. In order to change from SPL 1.2 to 3.5 you should flash AP4. However, IMHO more recent ROMs like Michy's series have eclipsed AP4 in speed and features.
(Also, I advise you change your "16MB mini sd card" to a "16GB mini sd card" before people start pointing and laughing.)
a permanent non-noob, perfect person to be getting athena advice from!
transflexive is a hardware component, its the type of LCD that reflects but also has backlight. in the sunlight you can still easily see it because of the reflectivity, but at night, the backlight can shine through. you get viewability in both conditions with transflexive LCD technology. i have no idea why PDA's started moving away from having that.
anyway I looked at the ROM list for http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=397518 and could not find a "4.1" rom so i think you mean 6.1 under Michyprima looks like the third and fourth ones WM6.1 Diamond and Full versions. What is the difference between diamond and full editions? Or am I looking at the wrong ones.
as to the storage, I have SPL 1.2 and the program vs storage allocation doesnt seem any different, is there something I need to do?
thanks
Hello and welcome to our forum!
I would suggest to use the ROM on this post http://forum.xda-developers.com/announcement.php?f=380 for your answer to the 1st post. You could find in post 1 and 2 some really good proposals!

Please be kind to the persons who try to help you...
first, im not sure why I need to be advised to be kind and appreciative, Im known to my friends as both.
I very much appreciate any help I receive, and am teriffically grateful for this site, the roms and mods which take so much time to develop, and for any advice generously given by others.
anyway, back to the topic at ahnd because I am starting to understand, but that only generates more things to ask and discuss.
I just flashed SPL 1.2 to my device. you mentioned flashing AP4 to get SPL3.5 (but that its not much needed now). I saw SPL, Radio, and the ROM (operating system) as three separate software installs. So I guess I will go back and see what "AP4" is, unless its a ROM that includes the SPL?
anyway can it please be explained what Michy 4.1 rom would benefit vs my current WM6 that i got from HTC last year for the 7500?
thanks to all!

Yes welcome,
Michy's 4.1 rom was one of those roms that everything worked well on, it had only a few tiny bugs in it, the same as a stock rom. On his SPL 3.5 4.1 rom, opera plays most flash web sites (youtube, Guba, ect) without any work. It also has many other programs that you wonder how you managed without on it. Your stock rom is just the basics, so you buy the other software!! If you do go go on to SPL 3.5, make sure you start with AP 4.0 as you were told first. then go on to another rom. If you wnt to go back to SPL 1.2 you MUST use the downgrade first. If you forget or try to short cut it will mess up your athena and you will hve to fix it. The best advice I can give you after years on this site is READ THE WIKI
Im not a noob now, but im still lerning. There are some very clever people on here.
Regards
Jay
Hi Jay, thanks man!
I will read the wiki now that Im at work I can do that.
Any chance you could post a link to that 4.1 rom though it's not in the ROM list post that i can find, and a search on "4.1" doesnt yield anything so a Link would be greatly appreciated and I'll load it right away.
Thanks again and yes I'll be getting into the WIKI now. I love the Athena, and cannot believe there really is nothing else with it's features that i can find. At least used ones are coming down in cost, in case I break or lose mine. I rely on it every day for my work and other things.
In fact I just ordered a Ram Mount for mounting it in the car.
The link you want is HERE, I know it says 6.1 but keep going down past all the screen shots and you will get to the links for all of Michy's roms till you see 4.1. try SPL 1.2 first and see if you like it. However if you do then I recomend SPL 3.5 version. They are all worth a try at some time, 6.1 is very swish
WIKI is ace! Its a bible of nearly all known problems you can get with the athena (go down through all the PDA's till you see the athena). Just watch out swapping SPL's, it tends to leave you without WiFi.
ok found it thank you. only now, link dont work!!! arghhhh
I'll try again later perhaps...

I used this one for months now but just swapped to the SPL 3.5 version and it seems to have the edge. try it for a week or so and see what you think.
I got the 4.1 n there now. like it! finally I have control over the device I paid so much for. and the advanced settings is awesom. so many simple things like now I can make the camera save to the sd card, and numerous other annoyances now gone.
couple issues though, first the voice control seems difficult. not as straight up as voice dial, and the recording process hesitates a lot, and the recorded command seems also to stutter. i'll keep playing with it tho.
i would like to have a battery indicator on the today screen. not sure if tahts possible or I just didnt find it yet.
youtube player finds videos with search, but they wont play, I get some kind of security cookie error.
flash content doesnt play, which it never did but not sure if this new cooked rom will let me get that to work (WHY wont adobe just release a player for WM?)
anyway I'm liking all these new features so thank you for the d/l and the others for the advice.
btw what specifically gives spl3.5 an edge?

As the OP rightly commented, transflexive is a property of the screen hardware. No software can change the Athena's screen to transflexive.
Hey all!
I apologise if I have missed the thread, however, I was wondering where the thread is on how to get android ROMs/builds on to the HD2. It will be a brand new phone from O2.
I'm coming from the HTC Desire but will sorting the HD2 out for the Mrs.
Will I need root, etc?
The Desire thread has a sticky on rooting and installing custom ROMs? Is it worth somebody doing one here?
Cheers
definitely worth it, but there's a guide in here to follow the steps.. look for it
I searched a few threads and found this for you http://everythinghd2.blogspot.com/2010/09/android-on-htc-hd2.html step three should give you the latest FroyoStone build.
Also once you have installed the winmo rom you will be able to then choose another rom that is lighter.

is the HD2 worth learning how to flash/hack/blahblahblah? yes, especially if the person who has it has seen android os or the iphone os. The windows 6.5 os simply does not compare, I didn't even look at my HD2 as if it was "nice" until I got it on android 2.2

okay I installed this rom yesterday.
Its awesome. memory runs at 33% on start! over 200MB program memory available.
no freezeups! TF3D is perfect- no issues, bugs.
for people looking for a great 6.1 rom... this is it.
best thing is that activesync doesnt keep running!!!
And i always thought that the pro was nvr gonna get an update.. I was wrong! It was fun having my pro...

thx so much.... does the rom conclude Radio?
rollback ROM
Hey Whosdaman, is there a way I can rollback this ROM to the one which came with my HTC Touch Pro?? Mine is CDMA.
Just use this ROM. it is factory spec and you will not have any issues with taking this to sprint.
Also, a side note. all the refurb phones that sprint will exchange yours with, will contain this ROM as this is the "latest software"
its completely safe to use this ROM.
Any questions, just ask me.

PS. : I'm pretty good at computers (I like to think so...XD) and I learn fast, so please feel free to explain me how ever you can and I'll do my best to understand it. thnx!
Read sticky FAQ. All your questions are answered there
Hi Emilio,
Let me try to answer your questions - someone correct me if I'm wrong... this is what I've understood from browsing the forums for a half a year now...
The radio in your phone is what controls all wireless access, such as wifi and cell reception. Different radios have different battery life/better reception depending on the cellphone - I haven't seen anyone come out and say one is the best although I have been using 2.15 for quite some time now and it's pretty good. Just remember your radio has to be 2.xx.50 because of your type of phone (T-Mobile/TMOUS) or else you will brick your phone (it wont work).
Some ROMs change your radio when you flash - although I haven't come across any custom ROMs that do. In any case, any time you flash make sure the ROM says TMOUS or T-mobile supported! Also, before you flash you need HSPL (search the forums to find out what it is and how to use it).
The ROMs the the awesome chefs here make are usually based on WM 6.5 or 6.5.x - but you dont have to worry about it. For all purposes its Windows Mobile 6.5.x or 6.5 and all windows programs work, etc.
Which ROM is best? That's a long argument. I've been using Energy Roms for quite some time now - every time I flash I always make my way back to Energy in the end. Just go through the ROM section - most ROMs are good (actually so far I haven't come across a bad one) and they are almost all much more stable and smoother. Just remember to make sure it's TMOUS compatible.
Flashing HSPL, Radios, and ROMs are in the forum and perfectly well explained... just search and you'll see.
thank you man!

thnx! a lot!
one thing missed in the otherwise comprehensive answer above...
you have 3.14 rom, so as it stands hspl cannot be installed so cooked roms and radios cannot be installed.
should you want to try the cooked roms you would first flash the stock tmous 2.10 rom, which willdowngrade your spl and hspl3 will work.
oh! so I have to get to my old rom first after changing to the Energy ROMS?
yep. there are 3.14 based cooked roms coming out but not many, most are 2.x based so require the downgrade.
you don't have to wait for the flash to completely set up and running before you flash the cooked rom, as soon as the flash finishes, and windows begins to set up, pop the battery and enter bootloader, apply hspl, enter bootloader again and flash the rom.
