Flashing instructions are as follows:

NOTE: This will work on vista providing you have followed the Vista RUU guide HERE or HERE :)

If you are flashing from WM5 to WM6, you MUST download WM6GSMUPDATE.zip and flash that FIRST to avoid GPRS issues

For those getting the "Not Allow Operation" error in TeraTermPro, or, even worse, getting stuck in bootloader after flashing. You

MUST

superCID your device using the SPV-Sevices client! This step is

NOT

optional and could result in your phone becoming a brick if anything goes wrong

1. Make sure you device is SuperCID, you can check using the SPV Services client, if on reading the CID it displays 3131313131313131 in a long string of numbers then it IS CID unlocked, if not, the click the CID = 11111111 button and reset your device

2. Download the ROM linked in the first post

3. Download the attached TeraTermPro.zip

4. Disable USB connections in ActiveSync (right click the icon in the systray, then select connection settings and untick the USB connections box), turn off your device, hold camera ad plug the device into the USB port to enter bootloader mode.

5. Extract TeraTermPro.zip and run ttermpro.exe, then select Serial and then USB in the drop down box. Then type:

info 2

You will then probably get the following output:

info 2
GetDeviceInfo=0x00000002
+ SD Controller init
- SD Controller init
+StorageInit
CMD55 failed
+ SD Controller init
- SD Controller init
+StorageInit
CMD55 failed
HTCSSuperCID ' HTCE
Cmd>

If you don't see HTCSSuperCID ' HTCE above the Cmd> prompt then your device isn't SuperCID. You must use the SPV Services Client to make your device SuperCID as instructed in step 1

6. Type

format BINFS

This will then output:

Cmd>format BINFS
Format BinFS partition.
Format is completed!!

Cmd>

7. Now type:

ResetDevice

You device will then reboot, display the splash screen for around 2 seconds before running into the bootloader again. This is normal.

8. Extract WM6TornadoBETA.zip then run ROMUpdateUtility.exe

9. Wait while it flashes your device

10. After flashing and the inital cold boot setup (entering the time and date), you

MUST

delete Voice Command.lnk in /Windows/Start Menu/ and soft reset! Wierd things happen if you don't! ;)

11. Install all the extra stuff you want from the extras file

12. Done :D

You ready to void your warranty karhoe? :D

Phil
[HTC Tornado] Gomer Pyle:
flashed, very good job, thanks!
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Phil, andot seems to be able to fix the camera lag issue and the WMP issue, perhaps you can use that in your coming BETA 2 ROM
[HTC Tornado] mikeeey:
the rom is great! only thing is how much power it uses when it's idle. I left the house at 6pm with 100% battery. at 7pm went to the theater and watched the movie bourne ultimatum. it ended at 9:30pm, i talked on my phone about 10 minutes after, and when i got home at 10 i had 70% battery.

to put it in short terms, in 4 hours of being idle +10 mins of talking, the battery droped 30%.
[HTC Tornado] anandoc:
Wasnt that an amazing movie ?? I watched it yesterday and i loved every second of it !!
[HTC Tornado] boneym:
Camera Software CPU usage

Hi,

After reading all the comments, I'm willing to try the Beta after Alpha but the Camera software which results in high CPU usage which ends up as delay in response and high battery usage stops me from going on. Does someone know the exact solution @andot has managed to do. Is it something we can do after flashing the Beta. I've already searched the forum but couldn't find an answer.

Thanks.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Just wait for him to post the cab fle here.

I really hope all the cookers can work together, and I believe phil will extract the HTC camera software from this ROM into his Beta 2
[HTC Tornado] kutrie:
hi, when must i flash my device with WM6GSMUPDATE.zip? before using terratermPro or after that and before running the wm6 update utility?

thanks
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
SuperCID, Install GSMUPDATE, run TTP, update WM6
[HTC Tornado] kartam:
Well, thank you for the ROM. Anyway I must rollback to Alpha 2 due to high CPU usage. I don't think it's connected with camera anyway . I had the same software on iPhone WM5 rom and it worked OK.

anyway I will try to put this HTC Camera 4 on alpha 2 rom and tell how it goes there.

Awaiting Beta 2 ;)

Thank you Phil again, wish I had a bank card with internet payment possibility.

Greets
[HTC Tornado] neof:
this camera soft work well? it comes darkness
[HTC Tornado] kutrie:
thanks! now it works....
[HTC Tornado] Gomer Pyle:
when you reset the brightness in settings it looks OK.
[HTC Tornado] kutrie:
another question...

what about dual-sim card and wm6...? is there any compatibility?
[HTC Tornado] amiraka:
Normal battery consumption after Camera deleted from Registry

After reading andot's thread about his WM6 ROM, on assumption the Camera soft is faulty for high CPU usage, I decided to delete Camera from Registry and for last 50 min the battery meter remains on 47%.

I am sure Phil will work out better solution in Beta II!
[HTC Tornado] kutrie:
...ups....now my dual-sim works ;-)

Application unlock problem

When i try to install HTC-File manager i get message:

"Installation was unsuccesufull.

The program setting cannot

be installed because it does not

have sufficient system

permissions"

I know it sais that this ROM is application unlocked...

Is this due to Application unlock or what & how to fix it...thnx

Using Qtek 8310
[HTC Tornado] melgurth:
When I go to sleep ~11pm I unplugged phone (100% batt) from PC.

In bed I watched 2 serials on it and go to sleep.

When I wake up ~8am battery was 11% :(

I would like to test this rom but with this CPU load phone is rather unusable.

Phil if You have moment maybe You can fix/find solution to this issue only and post us.
[HTC Tornado] ciccio83a:
Also I've the same problem...

I hope that Phil fix this problem soon. If no, I must re-flash the Alpha release :(
[HTC Tornado] bogdi1988:
try andot's release till phil releases the beta ii
[HTC Tornado] boomerdogg:
MMS

Ok so i added the Arcsoft MMS. I have never messed with any kind of 3rd party MMS software as MMS was built into WM5. What do i need to do to get this to work? I dont see any settings for MMS anywhere on the phone other than when i take a picture it lets me attempt to send it, but all it does is sit in my outbox forever.
[HTC Tornado] bogdi1988:
ok... you pick... new mms>> menu>options>message options>menu>mmsc settings>menu>edit

and u put your at&t settings here.

they should have a page on their website with the settings for mms. i know t-mobile has.

u also need to create a wap connection in start>settings>connections>gprs. that's how it is for t-mobile
[HTC Tornado] boomerdogg:
Thanks.

thanks, i couldnt find those settings anywhere!
[HTC Tornado] iceman1979:
WOW, 21 pages in 2 days !!!

Seems that you have some hungry people here waiting for your actions Phil (including me) :)
[HTC Tornado] bogdi1988:
will try to find them for you later tonight
[HTC Tornado] boomerdogg:
no you got me set up, i meant i couldnt find where to plug in the settings until you showed me where they were.

thanks again.
[HTC Tornado] ditch_azeroth:
don't have a clue what gsmupdate does (i can only assume it has something to do with gprs) but i followed the instructions on post#2 of this thread to the last letter and everything's running smoothly. the free ram also startled me but that was fixed after a reg edit and a reboot. the extra 'flashlite2.1' is just amazing (as opposed to macromedia flash sp). minor bugs, no biggie, but a good update. good job guys ^_^
[HTC Tornado] illi:
does the registry need a clean up too? eg i notice there is still reference to Tao and Catalog
[HTC Tornado] jm012a9749:
Registry clean up is on my list of things to do when I recook towards the end of the week, along with battery life issues, auto updating clock and other stuff.

[HTC Tornado] OmarD:
Sorry, but how is the instruction for flashing whit GSM update? :s

The zip contain 5 files.

RUUResource.dll

ROMupdateUtiliy

EnterBootloader

RUUGetInfo

nk.nbf

How is the order? i must put some this files in the Phone? The phone must be in mode boot?

Please a little help for this first steap.

Thx
[HTC Tornado] viperz007:
hi can somebody answer my question pls...

im still using the alpha version of phil because i heard people saying that the beta still had some issues, so i just downloaded the "Extras" and took and install the "HTC Camera V4 Build 23355" that is on it in my phone with the alpha rom,

my question is; after i installed this software and tried to run it, it freezes my phone, is there a way that this camera software will work on the alpha version?

thanks for the help!
[HTC Tornado] DSF:
how to solve CPU load issue

if there are still people that are using this beta, do this for solving the cpu overluad issue:

- run registry editor (included in rom)

- delete key [HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Services\BTT]

- reboot

thx to andoc for spoting the thing that cause this overload.

Anyway, i prefer "Tornado Perfect English Edition" over this beta. Many fixes and more.
[HTC Tornado] ciccio83a:
Great!

Now cpu usage is around 3% :D
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
Just run RUUUpdateUtility
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
I'm rather surprised my battery level drop to 10 percent in 8 hours

Btw, the attached HTC Audio Manager and STK doesn't seem to be working
[HTC Tornado] jm012a9749:
Will fix these in the BETA-2 karhoe...

Phil
[HTC Tornado] mikeeey:
haha yes it was. you think there will be another sequel?
[HTC Tornado] mikeeey:
i think there's a bug where the volume up and down keys dont work. has anyone else noticed this?
[HTC Tornado] bogdi1988:
worked for me :D
[HTC Tornado] mikeeey:
well yes they work, but ive had it twice where they hadnt worked at all so i needed to restart my phone.

EDIT: i found out its tcpmp causing it... hm..
[HTC Tornado] bogdi1988:
@boomerdogg and everybody who needs wap, mms settings:

http://pdaphonehome.com/forums/moto...any-operator-country-you-may-know-thread.html

@boomerdogg use the settings from the 3rd post.. att if that does not work... use the cingular ones. if u need help... pm me.
[HTC Tornado] mikeeey:
yep, it was just tcpmp. i had just forgoten to check the box that says "capture all buttons (like games)" once i checked that, restarted my device, and tried again, it worked.
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
I think Phil forget to attach the Guava themes ( or did you delibrately took them out )

Btw, do you think it is possible to put all those NetCF2 files to SD card ? Using the same trick which was posted here? It will free up another 5.4MB

http://firstloox.org/forums/showthread.php?t=6118

If it is possible, then perhaps we can cook a ROM and without the NetCF2 files, then after flashing the ROM, we just have to copy the NETCF2 files into the storage card and run a registry patch

Or perhaps, just remove all the NetCF2 files, then we manually run the NetCF2 SP2 installer, and choose to install to SD card
[HTC Tornado] ZlydenGL:
Aha, then you launch WM5Storage... And have your system down? :) No, IMHO let it be inside of ROM!
[HTC Tornado] viperz007:
hi i just wana ask something,

is phil and the beta testers not having the same problem as u guys did?

wat i mean is, is there some of you guys out there that this rom is working great? with all the information that phil said is right? and if its a "YES" say your device pls...

thanks for the info guys!

and to phil keep up the good work bro. you make us all happy!
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
I think almost all of us have insufficient RAM and high CPU consumption
[HTC Tornado] bogdi1988:
well i think that the cache fix and the removal of the btt key in the reg will fix everything.

tryed the cache fix but not the btt thingy on that rom, b/c i currently use the perfect english...

phil is not in a cooking state of mind this week, so i had to change to a rom that had less effect on the battery. this weekend we party though :D
[HTC Tornado] viperz007:
thanks for the info brothers, im just wondering bcoz of this one that i saw in the second page of this thread, he said it works great!
[HTC Tornado] bogdi1988:
it does work great. just has a couple of bugs that are fixable :D a bit of regedit
[HTC Tornado] anandoc:
Yes, I agree. After using the 4096 value for the cache and deleting the BTT key from the registry, this ROM is almost perfect. Well, they say, perfect is an ideal condition and ideal conditions dont exist :p

However, I think this BETA ROM is much snappier than the Alpha rom. Also, I think Phil will surprise you guys sooner than you all think ;)
[HTC Tornado] kutrie:
Softkey for HotVoice.exe...?

hello, what about the softkey for hotvoice.exe? there is "voice notes" instead.....
[HTC Tornado] quite98:
Where do you think this memory will be freed, and for what benefit?

Removing files from the ROM does not give you extra storage space! The ROM is a seperate area from Storage Memory and should be utilised as much as possible.:)
[HTC Tornado] bogdi1988:
for voice notes.. i think it is now long press volume up.
[HTC Tornado] kutrie:
yes....how i told before....but where is the "hotVoice" sofkey? and i noticed that the "hotVoice.exe" programm doesn´t work anymore.... :-(.

is this a wm6 bug?
[HTC Tornado] plaztic:
Hi everyone!

I've been a long time lurker but decided to register and post some questions and feedback ;) My hat is off to Phil who's done a great job :) no questions about it!

Feedback:

I've installed one of the alphas (dont remember which version) and used it for a while and I enjoyed it very much. Sure, there were "issues", but hey! it's the first/second public release. After reading this whole thread and andot's thread I see great progress in the cooking! Keep up the great work!

Question 1:

Why

do we need to run the GSMUpdate? We never did so in the alpha release.

Question 2:

Do we always have to format BINFS, everytime we want to install a new release and

why

?

Question 3:

If I for some strange reason wants to revert back to WM5, is it just to grab the latest offical from Qtek/HTC/(Whatever) and run it, or do we have to take some certain steps?
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
make sure you format BINFS, it is not optional

It is like formating your PC before you install OS, instead of overwriting it , and some files might be left there
[HTC Tornado] anandoc:
This is because the Alpha release had the Radio ROM bundled in. The beta doesnt. So you should update the radio ROM using the GSMupdate.

Yes, as answered by karhoe.

Yes, you can download any compatible WM5 ROM for your device and run the update as you would normally do.
[HTC Tornado] jm012a9749:
If you want to go back to WM5, just run a shipped update, because the OS is larger than WM6, it will overwrite everything...

Phil
[HTC Tornado] karhoe:
So Phil, how has it been? Andot has created a good ROM, perhaps you want to take his Media Player.
[HTC Tornado] viperz007:
hey guys can u teach me how to format BINF! thanks in advance!
[HTC Tornado] imthewa1rus:
Real easy actually, just go read the second post of this thread. :p
[HTC Tornado] viperz007:
yo thanks!
[HTC Tornado] jm012a9749:
I've had another go at cooking something today, nothing really major or special. There's issues that need to be sorted but most of the BETA bugs have gone :) The bugs that remain are the result of the changes I've made.

On a good note, this ROM boots in 35 seconds, 31.02MB of RAM on boot, I've done a bit of rearranging of the settings menu and the start menu, need to tweak the maximum sending size for WAP1.2 MMS (already done with WAP2.0 to 1000k), fix the bluetooth explorer. Rejig the comm manager slightly with a beam button.

I've borrowed bits from anadots ROM, like the clear storage option in the settings menu and also the clock on the unlock screen.

Will be fixing these as well as embedding xT9 in the next couple of days.

I've only got a limited time to cook nowadays thanks to other issues so my apologies for not being so active in this forum for the next week or so.

There probably will be a release at some point next week tho, but again, it all depends on the other stuff in my life atm.

Phil
[HTC Tornado] anandoc:
As usual, thanks a lot for putting in all the effort :)
[HTC Tornado] imfloflo:
Don't apologie you, you make a great job and we all say thanks
[HTC Tornado] kajdax:
I agree with Imfloflo .... PHIL you did a great work and I belive that BETA will be another great work

apropos now you are world-wide celebrity because of Your ALFA version :D
[HTC Tornado] imfloflo:
Phil is the first personne who interest and believe to this project(release a rom for having WM6 on Tornado ) So everybody work' is base on his work,so just say thanks :)
[HTC Tornado] jm012a9749:
Thanks guys, your support is really appreciated :)

Phil
[HTC Tornado] NiTroGenious:
I couldn't agree more with the other guys. Phil, my phone really worships you! :D

If it's OK with you, I have a small request. Can you keep the HKLM\T9 keys in the registry, even if T9 support is not installed? I've found out that Destinator SP 6.1.2.9 uses this key to determine if there is a full keyboard or not (???) and when it's absent, it uses "letter-keys" for hotkeys, instead of numbers. I don't know if there is any other program that uses this ...method, but I think that keeping those registry keys might prevent some "incompatibility" issues with "stupid software"! :rolleyes:

And thanks again for all your work on this WM6 project. Looking forward to "Phil's Perfect English Super Stable WM6 ROM for Tornado". ;)

Nick
[HTC Tornado] AN7 OverClocker:

Please do not embed the xT9.

The original T9 of WM5 is way better than the xT9.

[HTC Tornado] Pulstar4:
I've flashed my phone before but never formatted binFS. Why do you guys do this?
[HTC Tornado] bogdi1988:
remove everything on the fs, so we can have a clean install.. it's like when u reinstall the windoes and u format the windows partition so u can start from scratch.
[HTC Tornado] Pulstar4:
OK, I get it. I should do this but don't know how. How do you flash the new OS after you format? I thought you needed an activesync connection to start flashing the new OS but you can't since there's no OS to sync with?
[HTC Tornado] bogdi1988:
it boots into bootloader again and u run the update. it will work :)
[HTC Tornado] viperz007:
hi phil,

just wana ask a small favor, is there a way u can help andot on his rom about the aku2.0 joystick driver, im sure your using this joystick driver on your alpha version because the joystick sensitivity is great,

i told andot about the joystick problem in his rom and i suggested to him to use wat u used in ur alpha and this is wat he replied,

"aku2.0 joystick driver is not compatible with the voice tag, who can modify it?"

do you know how to modify this?

i understand your busy right now!

or can anybody modify this AKU2.0 to work with voice tag plz!

thanks in advance guys!

guys is it possible to edit the joystick sensitivity in the registry keys?
[HTC Tornado] thenext1:
I've checked the A2DP audio quality in the Alpha release and it's like WM5: bad.

Someone (menneisyys i think) said that the proper WM6 driver should have good audio quality... could you investigate where this driver is? 'coz the current driver sucks... ringing issues, entire bands filtered out (i could'nt hear the metallic voice in a song at all!!!).

And yes, the registry values are already ok.

many thanks!
[HTC Tornado] mijxyphoid:
Hi ! Great work there Phil ! This new update is very very usable, and very nice... After the 2 very minor reg tweaks the thing is great !

I have but one small request though......

PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE either include the WM6 (Alpha ROM) Voice Command as a .cab, or include it in the ROM if it is too difficult to cabify !!!!!

I dont use the voice recognition stuff to run apps or call people....

I miss Voice Command simply because you could configure it to read out incoming sms messages and incoming calls...

Cyberon Voice Tag doesn't have this feature, and I have found it to be VERY VERY useful...

Basically it means that you dont need to look at the phone to see who is calling (As the text to speach engine speaks incoming call from xxxx on line xxx).... Or Incoming SMS Message from xxx blah blah blah......

(Note Im pointing this out as I am not sure why people want this feature removed completely, even without a CAB option....)

Voice Command is the only reason why I have reverted back to the Alpha ROM for the time being.....

Cheers though for ALL your hard work !!!!!!
[HTC Tornado] gr8:
does the link on the first page point to the new beta release? i'm just wondering because it has exactly the same size as the faulty beta release...
