Hello everybody.
I had installed "TouchFLO Charmer WM6_GER ver. 2.8 BETA by mschmitz" over an WM5 T-Mobile MDA compact II (Charmer) and everything worked great.
see link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=331142
Now i cooked my own ROM (Charmer WM6) with some improvements and correct working German Input methods.
see Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=2075053#post2075053
As there are several "how-to" here but all are spread around this forum, i will try to give a checklist how you probably not kill your device.
Print this checklist and search the forum for the how-to's.
Prerequisitions:
If something goes wrong, be sure to have a ROM of your Phoneprovider (e.g. T-Mobile WM 5 AKU 2.2 for a T-Mobile device).
If you sdo not have an original ROM, you can use this one to flash back to WM5 (i used this, do not worry that it is english): http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/files/RUU_Compact ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe
Backup your data! All will be lost after upgrading, or if anything goes wrong. You can use Sprite Backup (the only tool that allows upgrading from different WM versions - eg. from WM5 to WM6 - but you wil loose SMS. Use PPCPIMBackup Freeware to backup SMS).
Always use the corrrect ROM (do not use e.g. a MDA III ROM on an MDA II)
I also recommend to delete your Active Sync Partnership after upgrade (Active Sync/File/Delete Mobile Device) and let Active Sync setup a new one (otherwise you may have problems with File sync, sometimes an error pops up).
If you have problems to sync with outlook, it might be a problem with the restored data of SPRITE BACKUP as WM5 has a different database than WM6.
In case you geet an error "Error 8007000e" or similar do the following:
1) Hard Reset
2) Do NOT connect to Active Sync !!!
3) Restore your personal data (If you use Sprite backup select Merge, Level 1 but do NOT select "Migration Data" whern you get the filetree)
4) On your PocketPC start the program "Active Sync" (still NOT connected to PC)!
5) Go to Menu/Options and DELETE the partnership (e.g. "Windows PC").
All Syncroniced data will be deleted on the PocketPC (Contacts, Appointments, etc..), but they are still available in OUTLOOK on your PC.
6) Thereafter delete your Partnership also on the PC (Active Sync - File/elete Mobile Device).
7) Now connect your PocketPC to the Desktop PC and the Outlook data will be syncronized again without error.
You can try to start at point 4) maybe you do not need a hardreset/backup again, try....
After upgrading you should always delete the partnerships....
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Now the upgrading steps. Make sure to check them all!
1) Unlock your device (CID and SIM). You have to CID unlock your device, or otherwise you cannot install a ROM that is e.g. not T-Mobile on an T-Mobile MDA.
How?
First of all you have to check what device (G3 or G4) and what Bootloaderversion (IPL/SPL) 1.x or > 2.x you have.
SOFT reset your device and note the red numbers that come.
If you have something like
IPL: 1.12 (or 1.12.000)
SPL 1.12.0000
you have an G3 device.
If IPL or SPL ends with 1 (e.g. 1.12.0001), you have an G4 device.
(0 is G3, 1 is G4)
Now check the first number.
1.12.xx is an Bootloader version 1 and 2.12.xx is 2, and so on.
I had an G3/Bootloader V1.x device, so I CANNOT say if it works for other devices.
For a G3 device you have to use Lockiwiz2b to SIM/CID unlock your device (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=249474).
For a G4 device you have to use Lockiwiz3 to SIM/CID unlock (dont know if it works)
Its easier to unlock an 1.xx. device, so unlock before upgrading (even with an official ROM)
You will NOT loose your data as no HARD reset is necessary. Lockiwiz will not harm your system (if you do the right thing).
2) Now that you have CID unlocked your device, check your Bootloader Version. WM6 can only be installed with an V2 Bootloader (IPL/SPL 2.x.xxx) or higher!!.
So if you have e.g. IPL/SPL 1.12.xx, you first have to upgrade your device with a more recent WM5. I installed T-Mobile WM5 AKU 2.2 and thereafter i had 2.20.xx
3) WM6 cannot be installed over WM6 !!!
If you allready have a WM6 on your Charmer, DOWNGRADE to WM5, thereafter install the new or updated WM6!
4) Install ROM and enjoy.
If soething went wrong, you can save your device by going to Bootloader mode (push and hold camera button and reset with stylus. When you see the 3 colored Screen, release Camera Button. Then you are in bootloader mode and you can flash the original ROM vie your PC and ActiveSync (thats why you should have a WM5 ROM by the hand)
Summary:
1) Check what device you have (G3/G4)
2) Check what Bootloader Version you have (1.xx.xx or > 2.xx.xx)
3) Unlock CID (and SIM) with Lockiwiz02 (G3) or Lockiwiz03 (G4)
If this did not work, STOP here and forget it, nothing is lost until here! If your device is not CID unlocked you will kill your device with a "non vendor" ROM
4) If your bootloader (IPL/SIP) is 1.xx.xx, first upgrade to 2.xx.xx via an official WM5 ROM upgrade (or check XDA-Developers ROMs), otherwise device is dead
5) If you allready have an WM6 on your device, downgrade to WM5 first!
6) Install WM6 and enjoy.

You dont need to CID unlock the device to upgrade to WM6. In fact, CID unlocking works only on 1.xx bootloader, and once you've bought a device with 2.xx, you can't go back.
That's why, instead of cid unlocking, you can just use NO_ID RUU, which bypasses checking the VendorID in the flashing process. You can find it here: http://www.windowsceportal.hu/tartalom/programok/htc_charmer_upgradeut_noid.zip
Other than that, its a great thread. Making it sticky.
"WM6 can only be installed with an V2 Bootloader (IPL/SPL 2.x.xxx)!!."
Add: WM6 can be installed with an V3 Bootloader (IPL/SPL 3.x.xxx also

Hello amoor.
I also had Bootloader version 1 and simply used the official AKU 2.0 upgrade from T-Mobile from their homepage.
Thereafter it was Bootloader Version 2.
If you do not have an original ROM, you can use this WM5 (Do not worry that it is in english): http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/files/RUU_Compact ll_2060227_20602110_021921_T-MobileUK_Ship.exe.
Thereafter you can upgrade to WM6.

hey, is there a known problem with the rar archive? i always get a crc error when i want to extract the os.nb file using "wm6" as pass

Hello,
I have WM6 to installt on my mda compact 2. How bekome I the language in German? Under regional Settings I Have German Others, but the language ist in english.
Thank you for your Answer.
The Menue is in english but the date was in german.??
Why don't you just install a German ROM by Ridingshark or Cyberdel. Then it will be German.
30.53 MB of storage -> OK - after UNhide -> ActiveSync Problem
Hello,
yes it works!!!! 30 MB storage - perfekt - Thank you.
Bevor UNhide 14 MB storage - but ActiveSync works perfect
After UNhide 30 MB storage - Active Sync dosen´t sync!!
Bevor and after unhide the same ROM (WM ROM 6.5 German (CTRLPDA))
all programs work fine BUT SYNC with ActiveSync dosen´t work.
ActiveSync tells me NO MEMORY on device?!?!? I can not sync any caleder or contacts!
Why?
Sorry for my bad english!!!
Greetings from Germany

Who is CTRLPDA? Is it a forum member? We can't help you supporting ROMs not made in the forum cause we don't know the base then.
And what did you unhide? The extROM or what?

This is a patched radio ROM that can be used to remove the Operator SIM lock and CID lock from HTC Hermes based telephones.
It can be used in all HTC Hermes devices, the only restriction is that the device must have bootloader version 1.04
Warning:
If you run this upgrade on any other device than HTC Hermes, you will most probably render it DEAD!
Disclaimer:
This is free to use but at your own risk, I take no responsiblity for any conflict, fault, or damage caused to your phone by this unlocking procedure. It may invalidate your warranty.
Full caution is advised.
Website:
http://pof.eslack.org/hermes-unlocker/
Install Instructions:
Enter bootloader mode on your Phone. To do this, simultaneously hold side OK and POWER buttons together and reset with stylus.
[You should see SPL-1.04 on the top of the tri-color screen, if you see SPL-1.06 you'll need to downgrade the bootloader]
Connect your phone to your computer using the USB lead.
Run the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe program – this will reflash your phone with a patched radio ROM required to unlock.
Wait patiently.
Once the MaUpgradeUt_noID.exe upgrade completes, it will end up saying "Upgrade Error 114", but the patched radio ROM will be flashed anyway, dont worry about that error!
Soft reset with stylus (Device will not be hard reset and no data will be lost)
Allow your phone to reboot. Once it has, connect to your PC using Activesync, and copy the HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe program onto your phone. Alternatively, copy it to an SD card and insert into your phone.
Run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on your phone. Wait about 1 minute.
You should see a "SUCCESS!" message from HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe, after that soft reset your phone.
Process is (hopefully) complete!
If the phone requests unlock code when you put a locked SIM, the code is: 22051978.
Frequently Asked Questions:
Q - How do I know my bootloader version?
A - When you are on the tri-color screen check the number after SPL-X.XX
Q - How do I downgrade to bootloader 1.04?
A - See this comment. I'm working on an altnative method for all devices, but it's not ready yet.
Q - What is the CID and how do I check which one I have?
A - See this comment.
Donations:
I spent some time and money developing this free unlocker, there's no need to pay me for that, but donations are always appreciated. You can find a paypal button to donate on the unlocker website.
Thanks to:
buzz_lightyear, itsme, vijay555, arc, Asukal, machinagod - for the wise advice and support
everyone else in xda-developers.com
History:
v2a [14-11-2006] - bugfix release, thanks to all who reported the problems!
(hopefully) fixed bug where unlock code has to be entered manually
(hopefully) fixed bug where SuperCID was not kept after rom upgrades in some cases
v2 [12-11-2006] - updated to patched radio 1.16
unlocking software provided (HERM_Unlock_v2.exe): thanks buzz for the source of UNI_Unlock_v1 ;-)
SuperCID is now kept after rom upgrades
v1 [05-11-2006] - patched radio 1.13
unlock manually
Notes:
- v2a makes SuperCID sticky after ROM upgrades, those who used v1 or v2 and are still running the patched radio only need to run HERM_Unlock_v2a.exe on the device to keep SuperCID forever.

God job! and how to downgrade bootloader
Hello pof,
I can downgrade bootloader from 1.06 to 1.04 without Radio patch.
Using files:
1) HERMIMG_IPL1.01_SPL1.04_ONLY.nbh ( Special thanks to pof.)
Get this file from xda-forum ftp-site.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Hermes/Technical/unlocker-reversed.zip
2) EnterBL.exe, GetDeviceData.exe, ROMUpgradeUt.exe, RUU.dll, RUUUI.dll
Get these files from any Shipped_Complete_Updates.
( Run Updates and getting files from temporary folder.)
3) All files in the same folder.
How to:

I succeeded with first solution for downgrading bootloader 1.06 to 1.04
but worry about sim lock , so I use this solution to unlock sim lock and succeed.
thanks POF for your kindness.
Damn pof .. this is crazy .. YOU ROCK!!!
Why is the unlocker tied to the RadioROM upgrade? Anyway you can make the unlocker available by itself?
Vodafone Spain
Hi All
Thanks POF for your hard work here. Question: I have an original Vodafone Spain 1605, I haven't made any Rom/Radio Update, how should I proceed?
My HTC info:
Rom Version: 1.20.164.3
Radio Version: 1.03.06.00
Protocol Version: 32.34.7010.01W
I don't understand if I need to update my Radio version first or just follow your process.
Thanks very mcuh
Excellent - congratulations!
Nice work pof! Hermes=OWN3D!
I am flashing right now and will post results. I am on Dutch T-Mobile Vario II with original shipped ROM (Dutch)
I am getting exited
Does this mean that if we keep this patched radio then we always are going to have an Super CID device ?? That basically means replacing the included Radio.nbf with this patched one on any ROM package Or am I missing something ?
Also is this a stable ROM. My VARIO II has/had 1.05.02 ?
How to upgrade from WM5 TO WM6
To upgrade your prophet to WM6 I recommend that you first of all downgrade to the NVID version of WM5 AKU2.2 and get the latest Active Sync:
1. Download the NVID(no vendor) AKU2.2 rom for WM5 here :http://rapidshare.com/files/17208693/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe YOU CAN USE Step1 of PdaMobiz or PDAViet Temp INSTEAD OF NVID(no vendor) AKU2.2 ROM...
2. After it has been downloaded get the latest Active Sync from Microsoft.com
3. Install active sync, you might need to reboot
4. When your computer has rebooted, run the file from step No 1 . Follow the steps, remember that it can take some time and seem to stuck at 80% and higher, but just wait.
5. When you have done this, your pda will reboot. After it comes with the welcome to windows mobile screen,"Tap Here To Begin",JUST LEAVE IT. In fact don't touch your device before the next steps are finished.
6. Now download one of the WM6 versions( http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1279985&postcount=1 )
7. Now find a file named Upgrade.bat,and run it.(you don't have to run Step1 of PdaMobiz or PDAViet Temp,as you have already downgraded to AKU2.2)
8. Wait until the upgrade finishes(usually takes 12-15minutes)..WAIT WAIT WAIT
9. A message will be displayed in the dos box,and it will say that the upgrade is finished etc....etc...,now you HAVE to HARD RESET,to finish the upgrade and enjoy you new WM6!
How to downgrade from WM6 TO WM5
The downgrade process from WM6 to WM5 is pretty simple. All you have to do is to downgrade to WM5 NVID and after that upgrade to the WM5 you want:
1. Download the NVID(no vendor) AKU 2.2 rom for WM5 here :http://rapidshare.com/files/17208693/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exeYOU CAN USE Step1 of PdaMobiz or PDAViet Temp INSTEAD OF NVID(no vendor) AKU2.2 ROM...
2. After it has been downloaded get the latest Active Sync from Microsoft.com.. Simply search for "Active Sync"
3. Install active sync, you might need to reboot
4. When your PC is ready run the NVID file you downloaded in step1 and follow the guide, remember that it can take some time and seem to stuck at 80% and higher, but just wait
5. When its done downgrading to the NVID WM5 rom, you prophet will reset and you can upgrade to the version of WM5 you want.
NOTICE
If you use a different AKU 2.2 ROM(like PDAViet Temp),you may have two EXEs in the folder you extracted.Be careful and use the one that is made for your device:
FILENAME G3.EXE
is for G3 devices:IPL x.xx.0000, SPL x.xx.000.0 (this is shown when you reset)
FILENAME G4.EXE
is for G4 devices:IPL x.xx.0001, SPL x.xx.000.1 (this is shown when you reset)
RECOVERING FROM ERROR IN STEP 8 WM5->WM6
1. Don't panic
2. Don't panic
3. Unplug the phone
4. Reset with stylus,and keep the Camera Button pressed.
5. A 3 color screen will appear(Bootloader Screen)
6. Connect your device with your PC,and run the NVID(no vendor) WM5 rom.
7. The device will be resetted after RUU(rom update utility)finishes
8. Repeat the WM6 upgrade,from STEP 5..
How to switch or upgrade/downgrade between WM6 versions(for example PDAViet->Trueneytral)
1. First you have to downgrade to WM5 AKU2.2 using the WM6->WM5 guide(some say that you don't have to do that,but i believe that it's better to downgrade first rather than making a simple overwrite)
2. Now follow STEP 5 of the WM5->WM6 guide
Device doesn't connect to PC after flash
If your device doesn't connect to your PC after flash,just enter bootloader(press camera button+while pressing soft reset and hold,until a tri-color screen shows up),and flash the NoVendor WM5 Rom: http://rapidshare.com/files/17208693/RUU_Prophet_220734_2207114_024721_NVID.exe .Then repeat the whole process...
----------------------------------------------------------
KEEP IN MIND:
UPGRADING CAN BE DANGEROUS,YOU ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE DAMAGE TO YOUR PHONE
DO NOT RESTORE BACKUPS FROM ANY ROM OTHER THAN THE ONE IT WAS CREATED ON
THERE IS NO "BEST WM6 ROM",THE BEST IS THE ONE THAT WORKS BEST FOR YOU
(part of the guide is taken from Da9L's guide,in the WM6 Rom Collection)
I will edit/update this post soon and clean it up, ask questions in another thread, and by god please read the wiki first, 90% of the questions asked are answered in the wiki....

Ok guys I am having a huge problem. I tried to upgrade to WM6 but when running the RUU and changing the rom, it encountered an error saying the nbf file cannot be installed on my pda phone and now my phone is stuck(i think permanantly) on the bootloader screen.
No matter what I do to try to fix this, IE: restart device, power down by removing battery, try to run the RUU again, nothing helps. Its is really stuck and I really need this cell phone.

I followed the instructions carefully, and my phone (Qtek S200) seemed to boot with WM6.0
However, after aligning screen, it tried to initialize the phone with some extended roms, a procedure which failed, and I had to soft reset.
After reboot, it seems to work fine.
Is it?

Choice of ROM
Hello guys, tanks for a so nice job !
I would like to have more information about the choice of ROM.
I don't want any special feature, just the row wm6.
no programs added, no tweaky today, no bugs, no battery problem, etc etc
which one would fit that the best ?
thanks
Thnx for this man, much appreciated!
Please excuse my ignorance on this issue but I am new to WM.
I have a vodafone V1605 with WM5 on it, I have obtained the official HTC TyTN WM6 ROM.
1. Can I flash the ROM to WM6 on this device?
2. I have backed up the device and saved the VF settings (MMS, web etc) is there anything else I should do before I attempt to do this?
3. What is the potential the brick the device if something goes wrong? / What issues may I need to be aware of to stop me bricking the device?
Many thanks for any advice.
v1605 cant upgrade
I have a similar situation but dont know how to back up the Vodafone settings. How do you do that? I tried installing the update but as I have read since this will not work on a Vodafone handset. Not too sure exactly what to do or if its a risky move to try...
Any help would be great.
Thanks
samo problem
can i just flash it or no ?
READING and learn BEFORE..........
Perhaps you can beter read this forum. Even better try the WIKI.
Don't do anything if you are not sure.
It took me about 14 days before I even dared to upgrade my radio. Then after a few days I upgrade my OS.
Now I'm almost flashing after 2 or 3 days a new or enhanced version of OS trying out and testing.
It's a fun hobby but read carefully!

That doesn't sound good. Tell us when you've found one that works properly.
V1605 Upgraded
I have upgraded my V1605 using the HTC official ROM.
Use the WIKI - it has loads of useful hints and tips!
I did unlock my device using the Hermes unlocker first (if you follow the instructions this is pretty straight forward).
I then applied the ROM update and it worked without any issues.
To complete I used the HTC operator setup tool to put my Vodafone settings back on the device (MMS, WAP, Web etc).
I now have a WM6 V1605.
So do review the WIKI as I am sure many people state, but after a few days reading and a decision whether to unlock or use HardSPL it is pretty straight forward.
I've update the 1605 few weeks ago without problems.
Follow the wiki and read some thread before, justo to understan what are you doing.
No particular problem in all the procedure.
Now I have superCID, SHAPS ROM 3.54b, and 1.50 radio.
The brik goes faster and much better.
Enjoy
Upgrade v1605 to HTC TyTN WM6 and upgrade radio too
For Users of Vodafone v1605: There is no official upgrade from Vodafone.
This is my current configuration: HTC WM6 official
ROM Version: 3.54.255.3
ROM Date: 07/05/2007
Radio Version: 1.48.00.10
Protocol version: 32.81.7020.20H
ExtRom version: 3.54.255.104
For Vodafone v1605: running official Vodafone WM5
Official HTC Caution:
1.Upgrading the ROM Code erases all of personal data and custom-installed applications from the device. Make sure all of your personal information and data are backed up to your PC via ActiveSync or Windows Mobile Device Center. After updating the ROM, copy the data back to your mobile device and reinstall your applications.
2.Third-party applications may have compatibility issues with Windows Mobile® 6. Please consult with the software developer(s) before upgrading to Windows Mobile® 6.
3.Make sure the remaining battery power is above 50% before performing a ROM upgrade.
4.Before upgrading the ROM, remove the microSD memory card from your device.
5.Do not disconnect the USB cable or start other applications on your PC while the ROM upgrade program is running. Doing so may cause the upgrade program to fail. In the worst situation, your mobile device may fail to boot.
6.The entire ROM upgrade installation process takes about 15-20 minutes. Please wait patiently.
7.When the upgrade has completed, the mobile device will reboot and start installation of certain components automatically. This takes about 3-5 minutes.
8.If you are not familiar with these operations or if you don’t know how to work with your PC, please visit your distributor or contact us for assistance.
9.Note that once the operating system is upgraded to Windows Mobile® 6, it cannot be downgraded to Windows Mobile 5. Consider your options carefully before you upgrade.
10.Users who have a membership with HTC should upgrade via the HTC official website. Upgrades done otherwise, i.e. through non-HTC-authorized channels, are considered illegal. HTC shall not be liable for any damage to the data or the user’s breach of the related laws and regulations.
This is what I suggest as it worked for me.
Download:

Instructions:
1. Read this website: ink: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=65&Itemid=26
2. Go Straight to following: Upgrade SPL to HardSPL v7 (2.10.olipro) Link: http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=30&Itemid=27
3. Check list:
• See that your bootloader reads
IPL: 1.04 SPL: 2.30.Olipro
• Your Windows XP should have Microsoft .Net ver 2.0+
• Write down all the MMS, GPRS, servers and portals details, Backup all the contacts and stuff you want.
• Remove the MicroSD card. (Don’t know why)
• Run the HTC TyTn ___108.exe file
• Voila. The v1605 boots to WM6 official HTC version.
• Everything is upgraded. Even the radio to 1.48.00.10 version. No need for separate upgrade.

Hi,
Because I was tired waiting on the shift, 2 weeks ago, i bougth a ameo on ebay. The guy I bought it from upgraded the ameo to windows mobile 6 and removed the simlock.
I played a lot with the device and I am very happy with it. I installed software on the device's memory and on the microdrive... and removed some of te software.
A few day's ago the windows mobile started to freeze a lot. I also noticed that quite some items from the settings menu have dissapeared (for example the VGA-out in the system tab is gone).
What could be the reason for the items in the system menu to dissapear?
When I do a hard reset, will the simlock and CID-lock still be removed... and will the ameo still have the windows mobile 6 operating system?
Thanks a lot,
Bart

Do you mean the Athena Project Black Dual 3.0 rom?
Is it safe to install it on my Ameo... or is it designed specially for the X7500?
Thanks,

yes that is what i mean, and it is designed for all Athena's (x7500 and AMEO included) so long as you have hardspl (you do) it is safe
Hi,
i don't understand all this and the xda-wiki doesn't tell anything about CID and Wm6-upgrading.
I own a Hermes, and there the CID-Thingy is a bit different.
If i get a T-Mob MDA Ameo with WM5 (not HTC X7500) with T-Mob CID and i flash Hard-SPL after syncing with AS it is possible to flash every Non-T-Mob WM6-ROM from here (no T-Mob branding)?
I am no T-Mob customer, but i can get a new Ameo which i'd like to run with WM6 and no branding.
Hard-SPL doesn't remove the CID-lock but does it bypass the CID?
Seems pof didn't develop a CID unlock tool, but is it really necessary with Hard-SPL-Athena?
Can i flash a free Radio to the Ameo too, one old posting says no?
Can i recook a WM6-ROM then (like i do with HTC Hermes) and remove apps and reflash then to the Ameo?
Last question from Non-Athena-owner: Is the Microdrive the main-ROM storage (WM6 on partition) or is the Microdrive only for App-installs and data so if the microdrive doesn't work anymore (headcrash) the device still runs?

once you cid/sim-unlock you can flash any rom here.so you can get an AMEO and flash the PK3.0 rom.
HardSPL is needed to CID/Sim-unlock-from what i understand.although i only did a step 1 from the unlocker because mine was sim unlocked already.it is necessary to cid-unlock in order to flasha new rom.
by flash radio,do you mean radio rom to improve signal?then yes...if its about the radio chip for fm/am signals,then no one cracked it yet.
once a kitchen is released for the athena then yes.
the microdrive can be used for storage only or programs or both.i install all my programs on device since theres so much room anyway and just incase my microdrive stops working,my programs still work.i put all my music,movies and pictures,manga....etc on my microdrive..i use the miniSD for install application cabs,so if i flash a new rom all my programs i want is ready to install.hope this helps

Thx for the answers!
Last night I flashed the Athena Project Black Dual 3.0 rom... and it looks great.
Thanks a lot!

You have a G4 device, this will make a difference regarding what is below.
You must first, SIM unlock the device. here
Then you must HardSPL your device here
Then, you can choose which ROM to use. The majority of cooked ROMs are in english, although there are some localised versions. See here

3. Connect as a guest on Active Sync
4. Go to bootloader mode (Press Comm button and after pres soft reset and release, RGB screen should appear on screen.
5. Connect to USB (USB should apperar in left corner)
6. Start ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G4.exe (if its G4) or ROMUpdateUtility_NV_G3.exe (if its G3) which you can find in PVTemp folder
