hi, I have a HTC Hermes 100 (I-mate JASJAM) with still the original firmware and has never been upgraded.
I want to try out multiple user made firmware and stick with one for a while, when i get bored with it, change for another. etc.
What do i need to know?
What do i need?
thanks
ryan
PS - I have flashed many devices before but never a mobile phone/PDA, and I run an IT business so don't hesitate on using 'technical' terms
If you haven't done it yet, just start reading here. It's pretty much all you need to know to get you started. http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners. You basically just need to pay attention to point 1: HardSPL, Flash using MicroSD.
what is HARD SPL?
use the [Easy Hard-Spl v7 beta v0.1] by qwasde2
it,s really usefull i tryed it it,s by me
it,s for win xp and vista and se7en users
i,am not joking here is the link

READ ALL of http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?t=18584&highlight= BEFORE YOU FLASH YOUR DEVICE!!! You may not want it!
Also note, my device is DEAD after upgrade. It gives a device authentication error.. I am sure it is fixable but it is better to wait...
ugh
Microsoft will Blast us now!
FU^$ MS
F&^K MS. I have spent the equivalent of one month of my time trying to make their software work... LIKE IT SHOULD WORK IF THEY WERE TO DO THEIR DAM JOBS!!!!
If they are not going to support their software, we are going to try.
These "great, powerful, advanced", PDA-Cell phones, SHOULD work but they are full of bugs. Bugs that should not be their if MS had any pride.
Look at every show Bill gates has been on.. There is always a blue screen or crash or some other problem. They are getting lazy and FAT and do not care if their products work. There is not even a place for us to complain... With all the money they are making, they should have some products that work without glitches. Yes, I love MS products and use them every day and they are great and cool, it is just the little imperfections that make a bitter taste.
Sure, I will get shut down, maybe even get into trouble... I do not care. May be someone is listening that can make a difference? :wink:

You are right... :lol:

ROM images with Windows Mobile version 5 (codename MAGNETO) are starting to leak out
March 21, 2005 [Pocket PC phone]
We have information that ROM image with Windows Mobile version 5 (codename "Magneto" also known as "Windows Mobile 2005" although it is not confirmed yet) for HTC Magician has leaked - it works with T-Mobile MDA Compact. And now ROM image with Windows Mobile 5 for HTC Himalaya (aka Xda II, etc) also leaked out:
To learn more or to download these ROM images (setup program, ROM image + ActiveSync 4.0 BETA) click here (you must scroll along the thread to find a working server).
Warning: if you are not an expert in ROM upgrading of HTC devices - don't run this upgrade - it may render your device broken and your device may be never again upgrade-able!
Please observe that currently Windows Mobile 2003 Second Edition is powered by Windows Mobile version 4.21 what reflects version of core operating system: Windows CE 4.21 so since Windows Mobile codename Magneto (the name "Windows Mobile 2005" is still uncertain) has core operating system Windows CE 5, it is natural that it will have Windows Mobile version 5 in "about dialog".
Conclusions: last year our sources at Microsoft told us that next version of Windows Mobile will come out in August 2005 and it looks like this date is very close to reality... although we have now some hints that first devices with Windows Mobile version 5 may appear in Autumn/Fall 2005, not in Summer 2005! In any case: first ROM images with Windows Mobile version 5 have just leaked out and we can expect that Microsoft will release SDK (software development kit) for Windows Mobile version 5 very soon - probably MEDC conference or at Tech*Ed this year.

magneto on ipaq?
Hello ,
Does anyone know if we can get magneto on a ipaq 6315?
I just want to try it, and see what it's like?
Would I have to change something in the rom file before i try it?
I looked in my asset viewer and I'm not sure if I need to change the product ID# on the rom or something else?
Does anyone know if magneto will even work on this slow processor?
I'm curious, but i don't want to fu*#-up :? my device.
Thanks in advance.
Similar to what wild1 wrote, my device is DEAD after upgrade. It gives a device authentication error..
Doesanybody know how to recover from this problem? Thanks a million!
Snellius
Apologies, I was too hasty. After rebooting, putting the XDA in bootloader mode it is now accepting a WM2003 downgrade. Problem is fixed I expect.
Thanks anyway.
wm2k5 installation problem
i upgraded my PPC to wm2k5, done all the steps as mentioned, but the device stops at the first blue screen when trying to hard reset it after installation is complete,
i followed all the steps mentioned here, exactly, and still didn't work,
now i have a peace of metal that doesn't accept any OS.
could you help me ??
thanks in advance. :roll:
hi people,
I have wallaby with windows 2003 SE I think and from time to time phone stuck (wont sync etc) and I have to soft reset it, thats not too often, maybe once-twice a day or so, is that enough reason to change win version on the phone, everything other work fine ?
Can anyone tell me about the upgrade or downgrade (I ve read someones post that SE is buggy and 2003 without SE is ok), I ve read that I should "build" my version and after that put it in windows folder on PPC and run it there, does the windows installation have anything with that ROM flashing or Radio flashing you mention a lot here or its just a windows installation ?
Can I destroy wallaby with windows install ?
Thanks people !
perhaps everyone changed wallaby for something newer, this forum looks dead
rom is windows and anything else which is preinstalled
here ppl get roms http://www.romkitchen.de/
and yes you can kill your device by upgrading rom

Perhaps you should read a little bit more in the forum... ;-)
As Rudgear already told you, flashing the ROM of a device could always kill a device.
For Up-/Downgrading the device you can read here about the process:

I upgraded to PC2003 several times, and my XDA always ended up dying after a few weeks, I now use PC2002 and it works perfectly. Never tried PC2003 SE though, is there much to be gained? At the end of the day a stable XDA missing a few features is much better than a buggy XDA with all the features.
still here guys, sorry for my paranoid toughts about dead forum )
Best regards people and thanks !
This may be old news but the X7501 is now available for purchase
here
and it is quite a bit cheaper than the X7500 too :-( (why???)
Sooo - can the 7501 ROM be copied and flashed onto my X7500 ?
why? its missing stuff.
Errr the only thing missing is the front cam for videocalling ...
It would be wonderful if someone could post the X7501 ROM for us to use. does anyone have it? Is it different than what has been posted to the forum or what will be seeing on the 11th from Dopod?
[QUOTE}
can the 7501 ROM be copied and flashed onto my X7500 ?[/QUOTE]
Why bother to do so?
1. The official WM6 ROM is almost ready for download.
2. Camera utility may not have icon that can switch between front and rear cam as 7500 does. (but I am not sure about that.)
I would bet you dollars to doughnuts that it would definitely work on the X7500.
my next question is; what's so great about the X7501 ROM anyway?
I would hope that the 7501 ROM is actually the full release, so if we could get a copy of that now, we would have something better than the pre-release posted to us all previously. ...Surely the 7501 ROM can't have some of the bugs that I am seeing in the pre-release ROM....

There is nothing really wrong with the one we have right now! Remember, just because it is "official" does not necessarily make it good (or better)!
If you are that nervous about it, then wait for HTC to release theirs and use it!
As for the rest of us, let the cooking begin..........Later
OK - the temptation got the better of me and I tried this.....
It doesn't work - no surprises really
Now, I have bricked my gizmo and I need help getting it back into a useful state. It boots to the rainbow IPL / SPL screen (IPL v1.00 / SPL 1.07 if anyone is interested) and that is about it.
I need some clear pointers as to how to get this puppy back into existence.
Thanks

Sigh .... you did at least have the common sense to simunlock and SuperCID your device first before trying on a ROM image that was not meant for your device?
Hi Wiz - thanks for the response....
Hmmm - common sense in short supply around here
I have a stock X7500 - not locked to any carrier so assumed I didn't have to do these steps. If I (we) do can these be made clear in the wiki?
Thanks
//copperwave
Edit - and I am going nuts (and I thought I was technical). Am searching furiously for how to bring this thing back from the dead. I can Mtty to it and issuing a task 8 gets it to reboot back to the IPL/SPL screen. What do you chaps refer to this as, bootload, flashloader etc? CAn someone point me in the right direction. I am happy to reflash it to some other varient (heck even the pre-release ROM) but I need this puppy working asap.
Thanks

Reflash it with the original rom that it came with! Then use the unlocker from Olipro, and follow all of the instructions, to cid unlock your device! You should be able to reflash from the bootloader screen , but you must use the original rom!!
Hope this helps..........Later

OK - stoopid question time.
1. I don't think I have a copy of the original ROM - does one lurk in the forum somewhere (it doesn't look like it is on the FTP server - at least not parts that are open to me).
2. ...and I'd find the Reflash program where? I'd hazard a guess I just download the ROM using mtty but can't help thinking that some bits need setting somewhere first
TIA!!
search for the WM06 ROM for the Advantage 7500. Put your X7500 in bootloader mode - (hold down camera key while inserting the soft reset button in the back lower portion of the unit) You will get the rainbow screen. Connect your USB cable and run the "ATHE_WM6_x7500_flasher.rar" and you should be able to reflash your unit back to working order.
If that doesnt work, go to the FTP section of the WIKI and download the original version of the X7500 software, do the same as above instructions say to do...

Obviously, EXTRACT the RAR file before trying to run it!

http://uploaded.de/?id=430xr4 - HTC__001 - version with spl,ipl and etc
This is the one you want to use.....
okay, the Purpose of this Thread is to ultimately find out if i need Active Sync to be up and running while I flash my XDA II to WM5.
Don't try to bash my Head in okay, i'm pretty new here and every search is giving me so much results that it's confusing finding your way through it all.
The ROM i would like to use is "XDA_WM5_3.50aWWE" and i also acquired a copy of the "himaupgradeut_noID.exe" File to bypass the Country ID Check (or whatever it was called).
I believe that this should work... i just need that darn question outta the way before i even dare to try something as delicate as flashing the ONLY XDA i have... not to mention the ONLY phone i have.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Oh by the way, if anyone from germany reads this and would like to help me in our native Language, feel free to do so
Yes you do need a computer with Windows XP (not Vista!) and ActiveSync version 4.5 (not older!) to flash WM6 to Himalaya.
success
thanks for the reply
I flashed my Hima to WM6 two days ago and i'm very happy with it

For starters all you can do to learn how to flash/update your ROM is to Read read & read. Start here on the Diamond section http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=428
Keeping looking and reading you'll find all the info you need. Because ROM Building and/or flashing is a little complex to explain here. Trust me, all of us here on this forum started the same way, but we learn.
And since your Diamond has Windows Mobile 6.5 already on it, someone had to have already updated the ROM, because the Diamond came with 6.1.
So if thats the case your ROM should already be unlocked for flashing un-offical ROMS. So atleast the 1st step is already taken care of.
thank you sir. ill take your advice..
more power..
