I've decided I can't wait for the 8925 to come out, so I'm heading to the AT&T store 30 miles away to pick up an 8525. Naturally, I'll want to flash it to WM6 and do some other playing. Also naturally, I'll want to return it when the 8925 comes out so I'll need to return it to its original condition. I can find plenty of cooked ROM's as well as official WM6 ones, but no official AT&T WM5 ones. Can anyone point me to a link?
Try AT&T site
Rom Link
Rom Info
I'd download it soon, as nobody is sure when HTC is gonna change the download to the Official WM6 Release. You might get lucky when you get to the AT&T store, a few people who got newer 8525s got ones with wm6. anyway, good luck

Can someone help me please.
Like many I was anxiously waiting for the new ROM for my KJam because of A2DP. As soon as it was on the iMate site I flashed my device only to find out that it wasn't included.
Based on experience I figure it will be months before iMate do a new release, so I'm kinda stuck, or am I?
iMate say that I cannot go backwards after having loaded the new ROM, but I read in the forum that maybe it is possible. (I didn't have the foresight to backup my old ROM to SD though).
What I want to do now, if I can, is load up the test Qtek WWE Rom from the FTP site. The feedback there suggests it works well, so I am willing ot try it, if it means I will get A2DP.
Can anyone advise me how to do that (if I can).
Thanks all.
As far as I know you can reflash your rom with any rom. As long as it is divice compateable.
Im fairly new to this.
So find the one you want on this forum or the wiki and reflash the same way you did the last one.
I have run about 3 differnet ROMs on my UNI up to now. I find the latest imate rom very stable.
I have rolled back to the O2 rom currently as I want to play with the extended rom on the o2 rom and put it into the exetended rom on imate.
Again I forgot to back it up.
One of my sales guys has just brought a spanking new XDA Exec he received from O2 as an upgrade. It's ROM, albeit still WM5, is definitely newer than the one available from O2 UK web site. E.g. ExtROM ends with .23x, and ROM itself is I think .16x.
I know there's a way to easily dump this ROM. I'd like to upgrade myself, and I'd gladly share it with you. In fact, he's quite keen to share it.
Only I found that I know how to flash a ROM into XDA, but I don't know how to strip it from an XDA...
Any tips as to where do I go for the tools? Am willing to do the search, only where?
The tool(s) must allow a nonexperienced person to dump his XDA's ROM into a file for me.
some rom upgrade programs will ask you if you want to save the current version in case you decide to downgrade later, I don't know if this is one of them, but if it is, you just might be able to start the upgrade process and save the old rom then cancel. Don't do it until someone with more knowledge weighs in on the issue. and please do post the rom if and when you get it, Thanks!!!!
Haven't done it in a long while. Have a look here:

Ideally use the mtty/d2s methods. Any rom dumper you run on the phone itself (as opposed to your pc) will not give an ideal virgin rom dump.

I wonder if it's worth a bother extracting this newer ROM.
On one side, everybody seem to be so much preoccupied with newer WM6 ROMs.
On the other side, many people decide to go back to WM5 after testing the Beta ROMs because one or more critical function(s) is missing in their world picture.
So I thought, may be for those who "repented" a newer official O2 XDA Exec ROM.
Am I the only one who has seen a production WM5 ROM newer than what's on O2 site?

Nope, I also have just got a new O2 Exec, with a ROM they don't have on their website (the obvious or the awkward to find place!)
I also would like to extract the ROM for exactly the same reason, ie decide to go back.
I assume you haven't hd any luck yet?

Hello,
I really want to upgrate to WM6 as soon as possible. My phone operator offer me some services (emails, web, messenger) only if I use the prvided settings and applications.
If I upgrade to WM6 and things don't work, is going back to factory state as simple to flashing HTC WM5 + EXT ROM ?

I was wondering the same thing: I would like to upgrade to WM6, but not without having a backup of the WM5 rom supplied by the Wireless Network Operator.
I searched the forum on how to backup the rom, but was unable to find any usable information. Anybody would like to help us out?
you can't back it up in that way.
just download one of the wm5 roms posted here.
1. The original WM5 ROM for the s620 is available. It's out there online if you do a little searching. It used to be hosted here. I ran it on my Dash for months before going to WM6.
2. HTC is going to be releasing the WM6 update soon. This will be a MUCH better firmware than T-Mobile's. Also, if you wait for it, you won't have to worry about unlocking or anything.

p.s. Smartphones don't have an Extended ROM.
alright thanks guys, I'll just wait till the official HTC release, I also found the wm5 roms, so I should be all set.
I was able to find an unbranded rom (not sure if it the latest... which is the latest French version ?) but if smart phones doesn't contain ext rom, where are the customizations ?
My french phone operator is Ten Mobile. I think it will be tricky to find that particular rom.
wm5 rom...
Can someone email me a link or email me the original wm5 rom for the htc s620 and not the t-mobile dash version?
TIA
s620 wm6 rom
I really need instructions link and download link of the WM6 ROM for Htc S620.

Thanks

I'm new to this forum, which is a great one. I might be selling my 8525 to a serviceman stationed in Germany.
I currently have VP3G's latest WM6 ROM on it, but I'm not sure if that's the best one to use (or is it?). I think he is using T-Mobile, but I'm not entirely sure (will find out and update this thread).
Can anyone recommend me a WM6 ROM?
If it were me I would load the OEM ROM and be done with the matter. This way any questions he has can be directed towards At&t, google, or his carrier and not you.

I would do that, but I did advertise it as WM6, so I can't back out on that now.
Load the ROM in this link - he can change his own carrier settings..

The question is if the serviceman in Germany speaks even German!
Is it an US soldier stationed there? Then he might be happy getting the device in English! If not, ask him what SERVICE PROVIDER he is using over in Germany and install the correct ROM. As far as I know: all of them have a WM6 version out there!
You also should inform him about the US keyboard and provide him with the keyboard fix cab for 8525.
Use Schaps 3.57a in Germany with Eplus as Provider and it works without problems, better to say unbelievable good!
Thanks again Schaps!
ive been searching around for a few hours now i cant seem to find a USA htc diamond rom anywhere...i tried flashing an official wwe but it gives me an invalid device error.so if anyone knows where i can download the stock rom that are installed in the USA HTC Diamonds that would be great.thanx
Why do you want an official USA rom? It's very slow on my USA unlocked 3G on ATT. You should try out cooked roms. I personally use Swift and it's very fast and responsive. Try out different rom till you like the best one is the only way to maximize the potential on your diamond. Just my 2c.
You cab find the rom here. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432496 I have used it ans it works. Not offical but as close as you can get to it.
HardSPL...
You've got to do the HardSPL first. I just picked up the Diamond last friday. I'm running Dutty's 2.9. If this is your first HTC, congrats!
One of the first stickies in this forum is a complete upgrading guide. go through it step-by-step. don't be satisfied with the first ROM you try, though, look around, see what works best for you. not everyone here (most probably aren't) lives in the US and can't even make guesses as to which radios will work best.
Once you HardSPL, the rest is cake. it's just learning to back up your data, so you don't have to sync, or worry about losing texts.
