Hello there.
I'm new to xda-developers and started to want to upgrade my HTC TyTN to Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional. But, I cannot find any ROM's, and also i'm new to all this stuff so I need some guidance. Can someone help me?
Best wishes.
Welcome to XDA-Developers.
All you need to do is flash Hard-SPL to unlock your phone (to put any sim in) and to also enable you to be able to flash custom roms in.
Then find any wm6.5 roms and flash it into your device...
I personally prefer the wm6.1 roms, they are most stable and faster imo.
OK, so I've been reading the Common Upgrade Problems on the wiki, and I saw this:
Important : Windows VISTA users need to make a change to their system to successfully use many ROM packages. See Mr. Vanx's guide here.

Since Mr.Vanx's website was taken down, I ask you what are the changes i need to perform and if I need to apply them to Windows 7.
Best wishes!

Can't believe no-on has said this already... but you need to read the Wiki and do lots of searching / reading through the forum.
It's good that you don't want to brick your device. Research the topic by reading what is already there... no need to ask the same questions again
The WIKI will explain bootloaders and flashing to you. link in the brown bar at the top of the page, it says XDA-Wiki, click it look for the picture of the hermes device and click it. There is a wealth of information there for everyone's use.
As far as what functionality you will have with what rom - read the first post in the rom thread. The cooker will usually have a detailed list of included/removed items from the rom. Only you can decide which rom is the best for you, everyone uses their device differently and as such everyone has different ideas of what a good rom is.
Lastly, if you don't understand anything read before you start to flash. The Hermes isn't as forgiving as other devices when flashing and you could very easily ruin your device if you don't take some standard precautions. The awesome people in this forum have come up with tools to help you recover from just about every form of bricking, but nothing can save you from not having a plan ahead of time.
I suggest after you read the Wiki, that you start with the Olipro Hard-SPL before you flash anything else to your phone. And as always ask yourself why you need to upgrade your device. If the answer isn't substantial and you aren't prepared to lose the device due to a bad flash or just plain bad luck you shouldn't flash. Again if you are prepared ahead of time flashing is relatively safe, but if you jump in without knowing what you should, you risk ruining your device.
I own an HTC Iolite: Touch Cruise 2
I bought 2 months ago and it has on it Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional.
I want to install Windows Mobile 6.5 Professional...
I havent done anything at all to my mobile as far as installing any kinds of roms are concerned...this means that I really need a clear and comprehensive explation-instructions of what to do...
Also tell if I' ll face problems with the new softare and of course do I have to secure all the data???
will everything be lost after the update??
Finally,I would like to ask generally how safe it is and what are the risks
Thanks for your time reading my problem...
I hope somebody experienced will help me
Sure Jim, we will help you on your way.......
Start with reading this thread how to flash a Rom.....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=678893
And further in this section you find Hard-SPL http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=552481
Custom RUU http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492931 to put a Rom on your phone or depending on the Rom use memory-card method...like in this thread with in my opinion a great Rom....http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572713
It is good to make a back-up of your Rom in case you have to return your phone for a repair under guarantee see here how to: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=492747
Why flash a custom Rom? Rom cookers have made something that offers more than the stock Rom's. And in particular when your phone is older than half a year or so it lacks the latest software...like Windows Mobile 6.5 .....
Happy flashing......and if you have questions please come back....
Hi, my name is Joe. I am looking into installing a custom ROM. I am indeed a noob when it comes to tweaking the HD2, and what the SPL and HSPL are. I am hoping someone can give me an insight to what they are, I do know my SPL is version 1.44. But other than that, not much more I'm afraid.
Any help will be appreciated
Noob or not, this should be a perfect start: Klick!
If you want to use Android or WP7, start with the link above to learn the basics, then proceed to the HD2 Android and HD2 WP7 subforums.
I strongly recommend to follow this path. Reading several threads these days here at the HD2 forum, I can clearly see that some people tend to skip the first step, they don´t learn the basics, and don´t know about HSPL or Radio ROM Versions etc. - the risk to brick your device grow drastically.

Thank you, but two questions. Do I need SPL 1.42 to install the custom ROMs? And what exactly is HSPL?
Thank you once again.

HSPL authorized you to install custom Rom, without risking to brake your device.
Hi all,
I'm using the Non-Camera of Touch2 (T3330). I would like to flash my ROM to replace the current sucky WM 6.5 Professional on my phone. However, as my phone is currently still covered under warranty (I'm willing to take the risk), I would need to know:
1. how can I do a complete full backup of my current ROM and the OS WM 6.5 Professional? I'm asking just in case I need the phone to be serviced.
2. Also, if I want to revert back to the original ROM and the original OS WM 6.5 Professional from the backup, how can I do that?
I would appreciate if anyone can point me to a step-by-step guide for reference. I tried to navigate through the forums but I just can't seem to find the information that I'm looking for.
I really really appreciate any help given and will definitely click on the "Thanks" button.
Cheers!!!

Hi, im sorry for question but i'm new to this, so can anyone give me link on how to flash new rom for HTC Titan X319e Windows Phone 7.8. I am noob so i need walk tutorial :S ty
Hello! Go to the development section for Titan, where there is a list of roms. Click on the Sianto edition rom and go to page 2 of the thread, scroll down a bit and someone asks the same question as you, and the developer very kindly gives a step by step guide. This is how I flashed my first rom on my Titan a few months ago for the first time. You won't have any probs if you follow each step. Hope this helps.

A couple of more things...if you're interested in HSPL your device one caveat, not all the Titan (Eternity) devices will successfully HSPL, I'm told the internal memory is the problem; I was able to successfully HSPL two of my devices, but it's not a guarantee thing. If you're interested in stock, that is the easier path to follow and of course, you can use Cab Sender to set those files up.
