first i want to excuse me for my bad english
ok since 1week i have htc hermes tytn and i'm very, very satisfied with it. but i saw, that my rom is old and slow (1.18.255.3 07/22/06 with 1.03.03.10 radio and 1.18.255.106 extrom). i saw already the 1.35.255.2 rom, but i'm confused, because it's for south africa.... i live in Bulgaria and i'm not sure, will the device run, after the flash? problems?
i want you to explain or give me links to understand how to flash the rom. i don't know what the bootloader ist (maybe something for the startup of the device ) and the CID unlocker.... please help me, this is my first WM phone (i had before symbian)
plese tell me step by step, how to flash the rom without problems...
i'll be very, very grateful!!!

p.s. i can't understand why the avi files played so badly (stutters). my old phone (symbian) played them great and now... i hope, that the new rom will fix this

i recommend you to read the wiki first as it has all the info you need to start with. you'll find the answers to most of the questions you asked here. you can also search for the threads on that rom from south africa and the audio issues you mentioned.

A ROM upgrade may change the registary etc and restoring applications from a previous ROM is not recommended. However you can purchase 3rd party applications to backup files etc IE Sprite Backup there are a couple of others mentioned here in the forums.
As mentioned earlier Welcome Aboard!

i want to unlock extrom (i have unlocked the past rom) but now i can't. i tryed all registry hacks and i can't unlock it. its unhidden, but not unlocked.

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...

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...

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.
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..

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...

ohhhhhhhh
shell toll mthod its damadge the phone i make it but it stuck on o2
Hey,
Newbie here. I own two smartflips bought from i-mate hq (Dubai). However, i'm now in Aus. WM6 looks nice and i must say, great work and appreciation for those who cook up these ROMs. However, i noticed that all these ROMs start off from either Cingular or QTEK or HTC. why leave i-mate ROMs behind guys? Anyways, before i try out any of these ROMs, i just don't want to end up killing my phone. I've searched high and low for i-mate stock ROMs (WM5). I saw one in a post but that was like WWE or something which i'm not sure what it means. I don't want to register on i-mate and do loads of form-filling and IMEI filling just to get some ROMs. Anyone have any idea of where i can acquire some 'stock' WM5 i-mate ROMs (not qtek or cingular or htc or wotever).
The other thing.. i haven't SuperCID-ed my smartflip. I tried to get to the bootloader (for no reason.. just experimenting) by pressing the keys n all but it doesn't show up. it goes to the i-mate screen.. then flashes an HTC logo and boots WM5. Once again my smartflip is Out-of-the box, hope that helps someone explaining the phenomena. i do have the i-mate CD that came with it. However didn't find and option to install Windows Mobile 5.0. I need a ROM to keep a backup in case i screw up. If anyone could help me obtain an i-mate WM5 ROM, it would be greatly appreciated.
Also, how would one find out the IPL and SPL of the smartflip? As i mentioned i wouldn't like to brick my phone. It is mentioned somewhere that the 3.06 or wotever IPL and SPL version are not capable of flashing through micro-sd card. Not sure but i think the 4.0 or wotever can flash through micro-sd card. Apart from the link(to files) posted in a thread, isn't there an 'official' way of getting to update the IPL and SPL?
Sorry for such a long post. One thing i must say, great work guys. I would like to suggest people to follow up on their threads. there was one 'bricked' post but the person said he found a solution but never posted what his solution was. It would be helpful if he could have posted the solution as it does help others. Apologies if i said anything wrong.
Thanks,
Dan.
You used to be able topick up Imate roms from ftp://ftp.clubimate.com
But they won't be nearly as good as the cooked Wm6 ones. Just follow the instruction and flash away.
(WWE means worldwide english)
Flash one of the cooked ones! I use Erofich's 6.1 and it's great.
WWE just means WorldWideEnglish as opposed to other languages.
Good luck
I have a SmartFlip upgraded with GnatGoSplat's WM6 ROM (Eurofich' WM6 is better but GPRS doesn't work): it works fast and without problems.

Hi,
Thank you all for your responses. i-mate roms at imate ftp site is confirmed. Thanks unwired. The thing is i take calculated risks and have most info before i do some thing. so if i end up somehow bricking my phone, i will know what to do before dad kills me . Now i just need to update the IPL/SPL and get into bootloader to see if it works. Then gonna flash with WM6 or WM6.1. I just needed a stock ROM to keep as backup because its mentioned somewhere that if your phone is bricked, u can try to flash it using micro-sd card flashing. but that only works with stock ROMs if WM6 flashing fails. Anyways, thanks once again. i will keep you guys updated on my progress.. Thanks!
Best Regards,
Dan.

Hi,
Sorry for multiple questions. I still haven't been able to get into the bootloader by pressing the voice notes and camera and power on key. I'm still not sure how it goes. Do you have to hold the keys, press the power button and let go immediately of all the three keys or do you have to hold the power button for long with holding the voice and camera keys? i need to check which version of the bootloader i have to make sure it supports flashing from micro-sd. Thanks in advance.
Regards,
Dan.
EDIT: I was also looking for some way to backup software from my current WM5 ROM. There are some apps that come in-built which i like. But since i don't have the .cab(s) i was wondering if there would be a way to backup software and later on install it. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Out of a million tries, I only managed to get into the bootloader ONCE that way. Okay, I exaggerate, but I found it almost impossible to use RECORD, CAMERA, and POWER to get into bootloader. Instead, I've found with the phone OFF, press RECORD, CAMERA, and plug the USB connector into the PC while holding those buttons. It goes into Bootloader every single time that way.
You can back up the built-in apps, but it requires figuring out which files belong to which app, and also getting their registry entries. Then you can either manually copy all those files into the phone and manually import the registry entries, or make them into a cab file to automate it.
WOW.. thnx for that!
Yup! Worked like a charm! i have IPL/SPL 1.02 or wotever.. so i don't need to worry about micro-sd card flashing problems ( i hope i never need to use that in my life). So if it works this way.. i would recommend others who have bricked their phones and trying to flash it holding the record, and camera button while phone is off, plug it in the usb. As soon as i did that, Vista picked it up as a mobile device. the bootloader ( the screen sucks! what a dreadful combination of colors!) also shows a usb sign at the bottom. I hope this info helps those who bricked/killed their phone and were finding it hard to re-flash it. As it is mentioned in some thread... if wm6 flashing fails, u have to revert back to stock rom WM5 (cingular rom for cingular phone, i-mate rom for i-mate, etc) and then re-flash with WM6. I wonder if rom update utilities work when in bootloader connected to pc.
Once again, thanks for your reply GnatGoSplat. As for the apps, yea.. i know its bad. I did check over onto the i-mate site and found a file 'Arabic...' something. it didn't mention it as a rom so i'm hoping they are the software packages that come with the default middleast rom. You might have heard of 'Portableapps' on PCs. They are little beauties. Because the original windows and windows mobile are linked closely.. i might wonder if there could be a way to port those ( or even create your own) onto windows mobile. I know how to make portableapps so if you need any info, i think i could help unless someone knows better.
So where do i get the SDA_ApplicationUnlock file? Thanks.

Dan.

Hi,
Thanks for the file Erofich. Unfortunately, I've just been caught up with studies and hence will not be able to work on modding my i-mate until i get some free time. however, i'm still going to try to work on an 'Ultimate WM6 for Startrek Guide'.
Its just that its better for end-users because some of the information is scattered around and 'some' of the instructions are a bit hard to follow (no offense to anyone). If anyone has any concerns or is against my actions, please let me know.

soory for the bad language!!!
Expert only?
Search this site and you will find the original ROMS that came with your phone. you will allways have to downgrade to restore it! I have had many HTC go wrong on me. I use an old trusty favourite Prophet_4.0.0.0.4_PV.zip Good luck!
Just Click on the first link, follow the steps and you can go.
Just go to bootloader,
DO HARD-SPL
Then flash again!
and u can drive away with your new OS on your old Prophet! xD
have fun!
sorry

I just think, you need to try to install the original jamin rom again.
or just Qtek rom: http://www.qtek.nl/_BIN/PRO_DT_WWE_220734_2207114_026121_Ship.zip
then it will be ok. and you can try to upgrade again
