Is it difficult to update a new ROM? - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

Hi!
I have a original Scandinavian HTC Touch Dual ROM v1.31.414.09 (radio version 1.58.16.27).
I'm looking for a new ROM with WM6.1. Is it difficult to get my Nike to be updated the WM6.1? HTC Club doesnt offer WM6.1 update .
If it's easy to upgrade, what version should I go for? Is there any step-by-step upgrade guide for dummies?

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=355730 As for which one to update to, depends on what device you have. Niki or Neon. Settings>Device information>Identity. It took me a while to update, just because i get anxious and just start downloading haha. More than likely, u have a Niki, which matter a fact, have a lot of roms.

Ehem!!! let me just correct you... the 2.20 is official release by dopod and the 2.02 and 2.06 are the non official release by someone...

Correct me if im wrong...
yes, you are right
but 2 is english , 1 is chinese (CHS)

I am right about the statement above and here is the link for download. BTW, thanks to those original developers of these Roms and here you are for the links and downloads
V2.02WWE http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=74980#74980 (on the very first page)
V 2.06WWE http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=74980#74980 (on bottom of the first page) Note that there are many customization to this version. However, the differences of each file is rooted in the customization of Extended Rom.
V 2.20.07WWE http://forum.xda-developers.com/viewtopic.php?p=74985#74985
All the above are UNOFFICIAL with the latter being under development and not yet 100% functional. However, the rate at which buzz_lightyear and mamaich are after the completion is rapid so stick to the site for update
The only official rom is now in chinese version and the link to that is http://mamaich.kasone.com/imate/chineese_se.rar

dUh!! if you look unto the official dopod website. Dopod released the 2.20CHS SE for dopod 696 wich is equivalnt to o2 XDA II... Did you get me? The 2.02 and the 2.06 are the images wich was not realesed and it is only for the developer of the himalaya device wich was stolen (maybe) and posted somewhere else on the net thats why we got it but the 2.20 was not stolen or illegal release becouse dopod actually dopod released it..... Duh!
dazed and confused!
Out of all the downloads and rom upgrades out there, what is the most stable and comprehensive. This is my first time here and I'm afraid of hurting my baby.

The fact is, that the 2.20CHS version is the official ROM that is released. All the other 3 versions will work on your device, but depending on your needs, it has varying degree of differences you may have to live with.
IMHO,
2.20WWE ( hack from 2.20CHS, half-translated from Chinese to English by mamaich. Contains the best combination of drivers/default software (e.g. WMP10 mobile, BT settings))
2.02 (better BT settings, same BT stack as 2.06. Poor cleartype. Same software. Faster reset. BT Handsfree implementation not complete. WMP 9 Mobile)
2.06 (Better cleartype. Same software. Slower reset. BT Handsfree configuration missing. WMP 9 Mobile)
All 3 versions have these common issues (I believe):
(a) BT profile will hide on Today items if not use.
(b) Speaker (reported by a few pple, not sure if its true or not).
(c) SDIO does not support Sandisk SD Wifi Combo card (w 256RAM)
(d) There are a number of software that will hang/hard reset/soft reset the device. These are the software that is not built to support WM2003SE.
I would seriously advise you to spend some time and search the forum with the key words WM2003SE, ROM, upgrade.
I understand that there are many discussions on these matters, but it will really benefit you in checking the latest updates.
Muchas Gracias!
Thanks so much for clarifying it for me. I've been reading the threads half the night and came out more confused than ever.
There seems to be a lot of discussion going on about what is better.
Now I have a better understanding of what is available.
When you say half chinese what does that mean exactly?
Thanks again!
That means....

Mamaich has hacked the 2.20CHS ROM to remove some of the Chinese translation mappings from the ROM. I believe the job is incomplete as some of the translations are within the DLL files and are difficult to be removed. The effort result in the 2.20WWE ROM.
Therefore, if you installed the 2.20WWE ROM, you get some of the software still with Chinese characters in the menu items.
Then...
Any point in upgrading? Ive got 1.6 wwe, and since all three aren't perfect, might as well wait for a post saying eureka ive got it. or am i wrong? I'm so confused with these posts, thus if it is useful upgrading, can any one briefly sum up what is on average the best rom then please? or shall I wait?
Grazie mille

If you're not up to the challenge of literally "TOASTING" your XDA then I strongly discourage you to upgrade. But if you do understand the consequences then go ahead. If I were you I'd wait though since all of the versions have bugs you would have to find the BEST one yourself. Lucky for you if you flashed it the first time and its perfect.
Now if you're up for the challenge and HAVE A LOT OF EXTRA TIME be ready to upgrade/downgrade endlessly to find the BEST version.
Good Luck
What the Hell.. 2.20.something is official!!! even if they traslated it to englisg, tagalog, korean but its still came from the official released!!! they still came from the original..

Hmmm ... there's something wrong with your definition of OFFICIAL you might be using a different dictionary. Yes the 2.20.07WWE came from the official 2.20CHS.
Its UNOFFICIAL simply because it is NOT the OFFICIAL ENGLISH version released by O2. Do you get my point?
Translating it to another language does not make it OFFICIAL. Sheesh :roll:
edited:
It's official CHINESE but it's not official ENGLISH or official GERMAN version. FYI, being a Filipino you should know by now our national language is not TAGALOG its called FILIPINO. TAGALOG is a dialect similar to BISAYA, PANGGALATOK, etc.
I think we should put an end to an official - unofficial discussion.
Because i like to alsways say something last: All SE versions for non Dopod devices are UNofficial. For Dopod devices there is 1 official SE rom version.
Simply because there were NO roms initially released for these devices. Thus: When focussing on non-Dopod its only a matter of determining how unofficial these roms are. Which is a stupid question in itself, but here we go:
Only for Dopod there is an official (2.20 CHS) SE ROM
For all other Himalaya's all SE ROM's are unofficial:
2.02WWE dcs
2.06WWE mystery man
2.20.07WWE translated from CHS by mamaich
2.20CHS
The 2.02 and 2.06 versions are WWE test versions from presumably HTC.
2.20.07 is the (partial) translated CHS retail version
2.20CHS is the Dopod retail version.
FULL STOP??
Full stop? Ans = YES....
I agree with edsub...
No more quarrel okay? Let's have a peace in this forum and help each other instead... Some words are offensive to some people (eg. duh!, stupid!..dumb! and so.. on..), so please let's try not to used it. Let's have a happy holiday and hope to find all answer without insulting each other.

Pls help Dopod CHT Hong Kong!

Hi
My Dad just returned from HK with a brand new device, but unfortunately, he didn't realise it was in Chinese. He tried to upgrade it to the WWE ROM, but it is now stuck in the "rainbow" screen and says USB or serial.
Searched the forums, but we're not sure how to get it back to the working Chinese version at the very least! Very disappointed- pls help!
first try to make a reset if it doesn't work make a hard reset or flash it with a dopod cht rom.
Kinda fixed
Thank God, with all the above help, I managed to at least get it back to the Chinese ROM. There doesn't appear to be any ROMs (English or otherwise) located on Dopod's HK website. I have emailed support and will see whether I get a reply.
IMEI-Check it to super CID. Do all flashing with no sim/sd in.
Then you can flash any Rom, including wm6.

Will this fix all my problems, ie. let me flash to the WWE from the CHT version??
Any future problems with the device if I unlock my U1000? This would be great if people could share their experiences. There are lots of threads here about changing language, but no one seems to have tried this...

Just go ahead and do it. Mine was Ameo Dutch. After Imei-check unlock I now have WWE or any rom I want. What future problems are you imagining?
I'm just thinking about the best thing for me to do.
Assuming Dopod doesn't do it for free (I doubt they will since it was our error), I might just go ahead and do it.
I just want to be in a position to take advantage of the WM6 upgrade whenever that is available. At this stage, with the CHT ROM, does it mean that if I do nothing and upgrade to the official WM6 when it is available, I will only be able to get the Chinese version?
Thanks

WM 6.0 ROM needed for HTC Hermes (AT&T 8525)

Since HTC removed the WM 6.0 upgrade from their Web site last month, I am unable to locate it anywhere.
Can anyone offer a link to a download site for the OEM version of WM 6.0?
Alternately, please email me a copy, if possible.
Thanks for your help!

For safety's sake, flash Hard SPL V7 1st. This will offer some protection so you won't end up with a brick.
After you install Hard SPL you are able to flash ANY Hermes rom on this (or any other) site. Just make sure its for the Hermes though.

Can I upgrade to WM6.5 from WM6? it looks so good!!

HI
Can anyone tell me if I can upgrade to WM6.5 (english) from WM6 (CE OS 5.2.1622 - Build 18128.0.4.4)
HTC Touch Dual (NIKI100) Radio is: 1.58.1627.
Do I have to update the radio to 1.65 ? if so,...um...how do I do that?
Which WM6.5 Rom would I then need to flash to end up with 6.5 in english on my Touch Dual?
Could someone please put me out of my misery if it's a "no"..........I think I can handle it.....
Have you even looked at the rest of the threads here? There are quite a few WM6.5 roms floating around and a lot of them are english.
Upgrade yes or no
Yes Lukesky,
Thanks for your reply..yes. I've been reading these forums for around 2-3 years now so I know the roms are out there of course, but that wasn't my question. I have seen some horror stories too of some people upgrading and having the wrong radio version installed and ending up with big problems. My Touch Dual is quite old now with an older radio version than most I see here. So, of course I can download a WM6.5 in english, but my question is firstly, can I upgrade the radio version (without my phone being rendered useless !)because it seems that most 6.5 versions require a radio of at least 1.65 , and then a suitable version of WM6.5 after that. Just need a yes or no answer really...
Regards

an official 6.5 rom for the nike is not available! the last available official htc rom for the nike is a 6.1, but i think htc dont release a official 6.5 rom .
here a french rom:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=529795
i think only this french 6.5 rom for the nike is available, but I'm not sure
Ok thanks !
upgrade 1st to latest version of 6.1 available from HTC ( official version that match you CID/language).
this will upgrade your radio so you don't have to upgrade radio, also you will have a original rom that your original spl will accept if you mess up ( forget to HardSPL ).
run SoftSPL and flash HardSPL 1.22
flash a WM6.5 rom
you could brick your phone but i think the dangerous part is flashing HardSPL.
while original SPL is there u can flash original rom (WM6.1) and after anything by starting into bootloader tricolor screen (Pwr+Camera after reset).
Syre....thanks for your guidance..just what I needed.

Hoi Hans, I'm gonna try to help you, but it's important for me to make sure which device you have, because there are a lot look a like's but it's just another phone, to make sure which device you own just take a look under your battery and tell me if you have a nike100 or another version.
The second thing I need to know, does your phone have a simlock.
Greetz,
It's a NIKI100 and is not simlocked

Hola hans, any news on your plans? I just "revived" my old nike today after beeing in a drawer for years, and I must say, it´s been a full success and it only took me less than an hour to do so. Now I even have WinMo 6.5.x and "sense-like" tabs
