Can I upgrade to WM6.5 from WM6? it looks so good!! - Touch Dual, MDA Touch Plus ROM Development

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
keeezy

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.
Syre,
Thank you so much...that is what Forums are for....help from other users who know about specific situations without all of us having to read through hours and hours of threads. You da man...
Have a drink on me and tell the barman that keeezy will pay for it !! (don't think that's gonna work somehow !!! still, thanks guy)

I Had This Rom From The Day I Bought My Jasjam

Its Bad Rom Its Stack Allot And Very Very Slowly Many **** Inside
So I Update To Htc 1.35
I Think Its The Best
Im From Israel And All The Phones Came With This Rom
The Extended Rom Full Of Many Stuff Thats Make It Slow
Not Reccomand
Well, I have been using this Rom for 2 days now and have to report it is my favourite so far. No hang ups, no lost GSM or UMTS - no reboot needed so far.
Blackberry works flawlessly, and the whole phone feels faster..
install with confidence
It may be better than what you had, but the point is that it's not new.
My replacement JASJAM, which I received two months ago, already had this version installed.
i purchased my jasjam last week of december, and since it had the arabic rom, it was outdated. So i just upgraded to this and device is more stable now.
but i think i might switch to the cingular rom next week.
other rom
is there cooked roms for the hermes?
problem with new rom jasjam
i see every thing work very good with new rom
but when i make phone call the sound not clear i hear little noise
its not clear as it was
anybody got the same problem????
i have new rom with radio 1.27
and somthing else is plz!
is there in the wiki or somewhere that you wrote whats the diffrent between the regular aku to the aku 3.3 because i see only speed is good
nothing else cause i dont know what need to be change
Read this page on differences between the AKU levels.
New i-mate ROM?
I-mate seem to have an updated ROM avaliable and I was wondering if anyone has tried it and their thoughs on it.
Main Rom the same 1.31.305.2
Radio updated to 1.21. .... from 1.20
ExtRom updated to ... .104 from 103
I'm not a cooker - happy to stay with std ROMs (I burn water when I try to boil it).
This is the best ROM till now. Has some issues but better than the WM-6, WM-5 Qtek, etc. Need an urgent small polished upgrade from I-mate and this will be the best ROM with speed and all else perfect.

Which version of I-mate if it is Telstra I cannot use it as we do not have that network here.
I check everyday on the wiki site but I-mate does not have any new version.
Please can you tell me whether you are telling about WM-6 other versions or the official version. If so please guide me to the exact location for the newer version.

Actually I am using the WM6 ROM from HTC America for X7501. But I flashed it on my X7500 using the SuperCID override. XD . It is 2.19 as well. But it is very stable and I rather not use the DopodU1000 ROM from HTC Asia.
So the latest ROM ver is 2.20 or 2.21 and where does that come from?

The one mentioned above is actualy 2.20, not 2.21. It also installs 1.45 radio rom, not 1.50. This installer is the first installer for WM6 for X7500. It was here much before Dopod officiall rom. You can install it on Advantae X7500 without CID unlocking. It is very good and stable, I use it for about a month or so and am very hapy wirh it. There were versions of the installer for Ameo as well. It leaked from HTC, but the guy who posted it did not want to say anything about the source, however, it was used widely befory Dopod 2.19 was released.
Edit: If you want to install it without CID unlock, chech twice which version of installer you have. There were versions for Advantage X7500, for Ameo and for Dopod, as I remember.

You mean to downgrade not to decrease So, if it is a "virgin" phone you first have to unlock it than look for a WM 5.0 OEM firmware, there are a lot of links in one topic, just search for it.
Is there any WM 5.0 for Nike?
downgrade
ok
it is not virgin
if I have WM 6.5 ROM which is running only with specific radio can I change it to see the diference
because my real problem is poor gsm signal
and one more
if want to install WM 6.5 ( beta of course
do I have to downgrade from WM 6.1 to 5.0
@vcdwelt yes, there is a WM5 version for Nike 100, mine comes with this (from Orange)
@ciawarhater if the radio reception quality is your problem, you don't have to install another OS, most of the cooked versions doesn't contain a RADIO firmware, so you have to look only for another RADIO and keep the existing OS. From what I read version 1.65.28.25 is the best original RADIO for Nike (good reception and the best power consumption). You can get this RADIO if you flash an OEM WM6 which comes with this RADIO built in. Look for this version RUU_Nike_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.1_Radio_NikeMR_1.65.28.25_signed_Ship.exe. You can also try other RADIOs to see which one is the best for your needs.
mishu
@mishu
ok thanks
but if I have WM 6.1 and want to flash another WM 6.1ROM do I have to downgrade to 5.0 first??
or just install another ROM ??
maybe this is stupid question but I am newbie and don't want to crash my Niki
You said that your phone is already "prepared", I mean it is not virgin. Is it HardSPL? If it is you can write any other ROM, cooked or OEM. If it is not, search for the topic how to unlock your phone then you can start playing with ROMs. DO NOT ATTEND TO FLASH ANOTHER ROM WITHOUT UNLOCKING YOU PHONE! Good luck! Only the first time is difficult, second time is always better!
ok
yes
I allready did HardSPL and SIM&CID unlock
so now can I flash any ROM ??
I mean even WM5 if I have WM 6.1??
or WM 6.5
yes, you can, even Android if you like!

Advice needed - upgrading to WM 6.1

Hi,
My first post here! I wanted some advice please. I have an HTC Touch Dual (carrier-unbranded and unlocked) which is using the English language. It is currently running WM 6.0 but I want to upgrade it to WM 6.1.
When I go to HTC's support site and type in the phone's serial number, it only gives me access to the PTG (portuguese) ROM, not the WWE (english) version.
I have downloaded the WWE version from a link in these forums (file name: RUU_Nike_HTC_WWE_2.09.405.1_Radio_NikeMR_1.65.28.25_signed_Ship.exe) but I want to know if I can flash my phone OK bearing in mind I don't know the original locale of the device? Can I flash my supposedly portuguese phone with a WWE ROM?
Is there a way of backing-up my current ROM in case flashing goes wrong?
Please, any advice would be great. Thanks
Probably yuor is a portoghese phone with WWE rom, owewer Flash a new hardspl 1.22 and use THIS newest rom (the last one)!

It seems this new official ROMs are based on WM 6.5, but has HTC Sense 2.5 and many HTC applications are upgraded.
If these roms are official, why in HTCPedia I see "Requirements: Touch Diamond 2 ,HSPL!?
Is HSPL required for official rom updates?

that depends on the region your TD2 is meant for... for example, if you have the Europe WWE device, your ROM version is X.XX.405.X, then you can flash the official 2.53.405.5 ROM without using HSPL. However, if you have a different region, you must use HSPL to flash a ROM that wasn't meant for your device. Still, it is safer to use HSPL, just to avoid any problems with flashing. Anyway, please correct me if I'm wrong with the ROM numbers pls

Thank you for the information. I'll wait for the South East Asia rom, although I'll loose my warranty if I update even with official rom
any reports on this ROM?
treatment is outrageous htc gives to the Spanish language, they will know what they do
German version runs fine here since this morning.
OS Version: 5.2.21887
Manila: 2.5.20121226.0
ROM Version: 2.53.407.6
ROM Date: 02/03/10
Radio: 4.49.25.91
that's strange ..The dutch official rom has manila 20113030 and rom date 02-01-2010
after few ROMs I decided to flash on this official ROM, cause on every unofficial ROM there was something buggy or I missed (I tried Energy, Nhathoa, Dutty quite a lot versions). This ROM seems working great and for me is quite better to have 6.5 WiMo, not 6.5.x . Its fast, about 90MB RAM free. We will see, what about battery.
