What is with att? I can remember when they were the first to release the sliding keyboards before the rest. The 8x25's were advance when they were released considiering the offering of t-moble and sprint. There was to official release date and the restocking date. The iphone really crap up the situation. They still release the 8x25's along side during thier command the blackberry market. Windows Moble has yet to crack it even with palm's settling down. The iphone is here to stay and may even change the way we want in a phone. However when it comes to pdas, the iphone will not dominate with it's current OS. Blackberry commands because of bulk corporate sales. The sales of the Tpro duce will not hamper the sales of the iphone. I hope a official picture is leaked soon. August is fast approaching and no news is not good news.

Just out of curiosity...what did u guys do 2 brick ur phones ? Just tryna learn from ur mistakes so I won't brick mine :)
[G1 General] t24moore:
Just make sure you get the LATEST RADIO AND SPL. Make sure you install the RADIO first, then the SPL. DO NOT LET ANYTHING INTERRUPT THIS PROCESS. I just sat my phone down and walked away for 20 minutes. A good thing to do is install the radio and verify it by turning the phone off and hold the camera and powering it up. This also lets you check to see if you have a PVT board. Also, after you install the SPL there will be no ROM on the phone. I thought mines was done after doing this. Just have another SD card with the ROM of your choice on it to unzip.
[G1 General] Godson1227:
rooted updated spl and radio fine I make sure I follow steps as posted my developers just wondering if these bricked phones are a result of not following steps carefully or something else. I may read sumthin about 10x before I decide to use it that's just me
[G1 General] HighRidas:
I know its from the DangerSPL but i had the correct radio buut i didnt have a backup rom or another update so when it was hanging at the g1 screen i took out my battery and rebooted the phone not into recovery or bootloader i think that MITE have done it not too sure but after that i couldnt do anything...

On the plus side i am currently rooted and running the newest Hero ROMs as soon as they come out

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] AMS4:
Hello there guys.

I'm new here and I just bought a blue angel. I'm thinking to upgrade my Windows Mobile 2003 to WM6 or WM6.1 or WM6.5, but I don't know which one to choose - Which one of then is better and more realible?

I was wondering upgrade to WM 6.1 but I saw the WM6.5 and I really loved the desktop, menus, windows, etc.. but, from what I read, the xplode and sun_dream release are both beta?

I'd like to read first of all the answers for all this questions and then I'll ask for other questions.

Another question is about in how to know which one to choose, better, which one will fit to my SPV M2000. I'm saying this because a read that - "How do I find the correct upgrade ROM that will work for me?" and I need to "1.	Go to "List of know Blueangel, sold as, Model ID, Operator code etc"" to see which one (of both I choose) works in my SPV M2000? Is that truth? That means that we are conditioned?

Best regards, and I'd like to thanks in advance.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Chef_Tony:
ok, don't panic, i see your problem. in general there are 2 kinds of "blueangel" devices the actual blueangel (gsm) and the harrier (cdma). your model is a blueangel, so don't worry.

there are plenty more differences between several blueangel models, like camera or no camera or the different manufacturers of displays or the slightly different weight or button layout, but all of that doesn't matter for flashing a rom. that might be an issue when buying spare parts. no worries about that.

you are right in asking before picking a rom, but actually each person has to choose for him-/herself, because it is a question of taste and what you actually use your device for.

the beta status of wm6.5 is due to the not yet officially released wm6.5. you can still use those and they won't hurt your device. since up or downgrading will be no problem, once you read the wiki wizard and get your device unlocked and stuff.

what you need to know is, before first upgrading, you have a lot of work and a lot of reading to do, but once you did that and prepared your device for flashing, it will so easy, you can test a rom, and as soon as you realize you don't like it anymore, pick another one.

there is really no need to pick a rom like it was a dead end. you can flash your device over and over again.

but the most important thing is, follow the wizard for your first upgrade, don't skip any steps, don't be a smartass, because then you might hurt your device or end up starting all over.

the wizard is to be found here

i already set, that you want to upgrade to wm5 or higher and come from wm2003.

the main page of the wizard is here

and once you go through the steps, at one point you will come to picking a rom and you can pick one of the list given there for starters, or you pick one from the forum yourself.

for wm6.5 you have the options of taking

- sun_dream's

- xplode's

- swampy's

- thanhcong_to's

have fun

[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] AMS4:
Thanks for your reply.

BTW, I'm from portugal, and I bought my Blue Angel (SPV M2000 - orange) to I guy here in Portugal, but I think he bought this device and ebay, or maybe in England (vacations), don't know.

Well, in part I understood everything you wrote, but I still having some doubts.

But first, I'd like to ask something else.

When I bought my Blue Angel (SPV M2000 - orange) the guy who I bought, told me that the BA was unlocked, and it's true, and here is the question.

When I make the upgrade to WM 6.1 (I'm more inclined to this one - but I've something else to ask about this), I'll "lose the unlocking"?

Now about the WM's, I'm more inclined to the WM6.1, but I've some doubts about this. Which diferences exist between the WM6, WM6.1 and WM6.5?

Let's imagine 3 BA, each on installed with one of the three WM's.

Which one is faster? What I mean is, installing the last WM (WM6.5) means that the BA is more heavy, slow, compared to WM6.1? Do you understand what I mean?

About the WM6.5 BETA, when the WM6.5 became official, the BETA version will suffer some changes?

For now i'ts all.

The next post, if I don't I've no more doubts about your post, I'll ask other things, now related with a step in the tutorial.

Best regards
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] AMS4:
Ok. I understand, and of course you're right, you don't have to choose any WM for me, of course. But because I'm nood in this kind of stuff's a senior opinion is always welcome.

About the WM, so in your opinion is better try in first place WM6.5 right? Now, I've to choose the newest build, RIGHT? (so far as I understood) - BTW, why you're are using a older build than the newest from xplod?

Other question about WM to choose, which diference exist between the XPLODE and SUN_DREAM WM's?

Now, about upgrading. I've run the tutorial and I've some doubts there.

1 - I've read the BA Getting Started:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=BA_GettingStarted

And I read "How do I find the correct upgrade ROM that will work for me?" and made me feel confused.

To use one of the WM6.5, for example, I need to know if it gonna work with my BA from a "X" operator? I hope made myseld explained.

So this means that not every ROMs works on determined BA, that's it?

2 - About the ExtROM. I read all the basic stuff but I didn't understood if there is any kind of inconvenience?

- Deleting the ExtROM I win more space, but for what? If the WM is stored at the SDcard.. The BA turns more fast?

- Deleting the ExtROM, when I make a HardReset, isn't suppose the BA load the WM only from the ExtROM and install?

- If I want the ExtROM back, how can I do that?

Best Regards and thanks in advance
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] AMS4:
Hmm, now I'm getting.

First of all, before asking something about your last post, I'd like to ask something else:

When you say "and so on, wm6.5 is the only real different one from that, because it is the only one with the (invisible) honeycomb start menu and the titanium home as today screen." this means that this WM6.5 was "cracked", "modified", "was made a combination of", those too "applications", comparing to the real WM6.5?

Now about your last post, I understand the section "what rom fits to me", because this threat was confusing me!

Well, when I'm upgrading the WM, this will install at the ROM?

So those files at the ExtROM, that you were refering (3, 2, 1 ... etc), are some kind of software that is installed beyond the WM? That's it?

But when we make a HardReset where the PDA goes for the WM? To install it again?

What you mean with this:

''again, the rom is in the rom partition, after a hard reset you should insert an sd card with the extrom on it, so your most used programs, for instance, the internet explorer or office or any other program you want can be installed and used without wasting internal space, of which the BA only has 43mb (or after extrom delete 60mb)'' ?

''sun_dream's rom contains little apps like htc large title bar or touch image viewer'' what looks like that title bar and touch viewer? Where can I see one?

This WM6.5 we can do everyting that my actual 2003 do? Getting wireless, bluetooth, etc, etc?

BTW, what is the RADIO? And for what is for?

Best regards,

Thnks for you patience.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] Chef_Tony:
1. no, what i mean by that is, that wm6.5 is the first os that really has major changes in the looks of the today screen and the start menu, by adding new features (titanium home) and finger friendlyness

2. i understand why that was confusing for you, the thread might really suggest that some roms work and other's don't but it actually just wants to clearify which shipped rom is for which country, because for instance t-mobile or orange are popular carriers in many countries.

3. yes, the rom is the operating system, the rom contains windows mobile and all the drivers and some basic programs, just like formatting and re-installing your computer, you have windows, some other useful system apps, and solitaire ;)

4. yes. the extrom contains extra programs that are not part of the operating system, again, comparable to the pc, you will find office in there, something that needs to be installed after you format your pc. you can also put your own programs in there, whatever you need.

5. for the upgrade process, you need to take out the sd card and the sim card. and then, when your upgrade is finished and your pc tells you to disconnect the device and make a hard reset, that is the point, where you disconnect the device, put in the sd card, and then hard reset. that way, when the device boots up for the first time, it recognizes the autorun of the sd card, and installs all the extra programs automatically.

6. please try and do a little research on you own:

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=htc+large+title+bar

http://lmgtfy.com/?q=Touch+Image+Viewer

and maybe you might want to do the image search as well, which is blocked for me here at work.

7. of course it can do everything, wm2003 can do, even much more, that is the point of upgrading

8. the radio is for wireless connections, like the name radio suggests, it is for your phone functions and so on.
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] AMS4:
Thnks for your answer!

I'm getting more and more clarified.

Well, getting what you said:

"for the upgrade process, you need to take out the sd card and the sim card. and then, when your upgrade is finished and your pc tells you to disconnect the device and make a hard reset, that is the point, where you disconnect the device, put in the sd card, and then hard reset. that way, when the device boots up for the first time, it recognizes the autorun of the sd card, and installs all the extra programs automatically."

This means that we need I card with the WM6.5, in this case, that will serve as a "CD of installation - camparing to the PC", every time we want to update the ROM. That's it? Once the ROM is updated, everytime we do a HardReset the WM6.5 will be installed by itself, from the ROM, "no needing" the SD card again, right? It's just this point that I'm confused, so that I can join all the pieces and put together.

BTW, when you said that the SUN_DREAM has some features, like the fingerfriendly, and something else, and the XPLODE doens't have nothing, that doesn't mean that, for example, in case of there is no WORD, EXCEL, etc.. we can install it anyway, right?

One more question, now related with my WM2003 that I'm using for now. When I take out the battery and install it again, the BA starts to install all again, and I've to make the screen alignment, etc.. Is that normal? In WM6.5 happens the same?

Best regards
[MDA III, XDA III, PDA2k, 9090 Software Upgrading] AMS4:
Now I'm understanding a bit more ;)

Now I got a little scared:

http://xdaforums.com/showthread.php?t=538691

I read that post and that made me think twice!

This guy had is BA unlocked, and when he updated to WM6.5 and every single other ROMs he just "When I was on the win 2003 SE, I have to use unlocker to make GSM working and that is working just fine... But when I upgrade to any other version of ROM or radio ROM, GSM doesn't function like it should...".. This means that he can't make any call because the BA is locked again to the operator from the country where that BA was bought.

In my case, I bought this BA in a forum from I guy here in Portugal, but I think he may bought this BA in ebay at UK (because is a ORANGE). And I don't know how he unlocked, but now, after I read that post I'm a little afraid of upgrading, because if I upgrade maybe MY BA will lock to the orange operator..

Do you understand what I mean?

I'm running Soulife's ION right now and have been reluctant to mess with the hero but I want to check out Drizzy's joint. Anyway, I'm going to re-format my sd to clean FAT32, EXT3, and swap partition. No offense to Drizzy but I'm planning going to go back to ION after playing for a while (though if the ROM is that pissy, I may not ;) ).

My question is what happens to the swap partition when I go back to ION? I'm assuming it would just sit there unused but I just want to make sure there wont be problems.
