Noob needs some help: Where is the WM 6.1 Rom file? - HTC Excalibur

Noob needs some help: Where is the WM 6.1 Rom file?
Read the sticky's and Kavana's WM 6.1 rom download link was empty. The link in the pdf doesn't work. Please point me to a working link so I can update my HTC s620 to Windows Media 6.1.
Thanks a lot.

Try here

Thanks. I saw that earlier but was a little confused when the kavana "msn" links didn't work. Does the Rom with "Opera" support a flash player or swf files through it's browser?
Does the opera version also include the IE browser?
My apologies for asking dumb questions, but I'm new to the HTC and windows mobile products.
I ordered an HTC phone yesterday from a vendor and wanted to get it ready for some updates.

IE is in all the roms. and i dont believe you can stream through opera..you need to use a media application. with skyfire you can stream within the browser...but thats an invite only thing
and since you ordered the phone yesterday, i assume you started reading this forum today....here is a hint, READ ALL OF THE STICKY'S

1- Misleading on Opera lol
2- you mean, doesnt the phone also have IE on it? Yes
You can also get most/all Roms in my media fire account. Here

Appreciate the help and have experience with other smart phones. Should have gone windows mobile a long time ago. This seems to be the "only" OS that supports flash. There is no other smartphone OS out there offering a flash player. The iphone doesn't offer it, the blackberry doesn't have it and many others cannot run swf files.
Unfortunately, the majority of web based multimedia depends on adobe's flash player.
Look forward to helping others as soon as some of the basics are learned.
Thanks,

Actually, Windows Mobile isn't the only OS that supports flash, Symbian OS also has support, I think it actually has more support lol.
Adobe Flash Player Lite 3 comes bundles with some phones such as some versions of the N95 if I remember correctly.
But since this is a WM forum, Symbian sucks

Windows Media Player 10 mobile

Is there any way I can get WMP 10 onto my SX66 without changing the firmware? I'd like to continue to use the official Windows Mobile 2003SE firmware for the SX66.
I checked the website for the SX66, and they don't have a WMP upgrade.....and it's not available for download from Microsoft.
You can try and request the program files for windows media player 10 from one of the members of this site, I don't have time right now but if you PM me later I'll try and help you out.
Does anyone have the program files? If yes, could you please upload them?

Nothing is wrong with it, I would just rather have WMP10 becuase of it's improved features.
Hmm.
On the topic of WMP10, has anyone heard of skins being released for it yet?
The only program files I have are the 3 files for the default skin. >_>
new features?

A better looking interface, better support for syncing with WMP on PC, media library, album art support, support for DRM-protected media, etc.
So....could someone please upload the setup files for WMP10 if possible?
Oops made a mistake, sorry thought you could get it from the Microsoft website. Can't remember where I got it from now, it was ages ago, but it does work fine. Certain it was just a free download though.
Ever since Windows Mobile 2003, Microsoft only releases WMP for WM devices as a part of ROM updates. Siemens did not directly release the later HTC ROMs that included WMP10... so you'll have to flash your SX66 with another ROM (like, i-Mate's) that comes with WMP10.
That sucks, I was hoping that I would be able to just update the program.
Where can I download the i-Mate firmware (I already checked the website for it, and couldn't find it), or another WM2003 firmware for the BA that has WMP10?

Windows Mobile 6 and programs

Yes there is, but first; you got your hermes for about 2 days and you're allready flashing it? hmm..ok..but just be carefull, dont wanna see you opening a thread with "I ****ed-up my hermes." Its good you read alot, try WIKI if you dont understand some things.
ok..this link is a (pre-released, I would say, leaked version of) HTC Windows Mobile 6 ROM and as far is I know, Its not customized. And I think it includes office 2007 and if you want Windows live messenger, try this link.
good luck
thanks for you reply, I know how to flash my hermes, did it already 7 times now I'm also having some experience with my Imate Jam, which i've got now for over 3 years.

Just a head's up... the link you posted is for an old version of WL4WM (10.6.0026.1400) which has some minor random issues of locking up the Hermes if you use the Live Services on your today screen via WiFi. The current version is 10.6.0028.2700, which resolves those issues and a few others. Many of the current Rom cooks are using this new version and may be able to post it here for you. (Add-on packages for BLACK include the old 10.6.0026.1400 version of WL4WM)
I found this site and started flashing WM6 on my Hermes less than a week from purchasing it, with no prior knowledge of flashing. Was a little scary but boy was it slow with WM5 on there.
Sorry but need to go off-topic
Duttythroy you use Windows X-Bow WM6 Black Majik TOUCHFLO STYLE hmm..is it touch or button flo..if it is button flo, its useless. I really want touchflo
Here's your answer for Mobile Office 2007.

correct me if im wrong .. I believe this is the latest windows live v10.6.33.0600, click on my link below my signature to get the latest version. theres a lot of other stuff as well.
There are 2 newer versions then the one provided in the link above, but they do not include Live Messenger. They are 10.6.38 and a 10.6.40. If you need Live Messenger then the 10.6.34.800 is the newest version.
Here is the official link off of Microsofts website.
http://www.microsoft.com/windowsmobile/mobile/wl/download-en-us.mspx
I also learned something new which is probably the cause of all my recent WM Live problems on 6.1 ROMS. On 6.0 ROMS I could install it on the storage card, but on 6.1 ROMS it was completely jacking up my phone.
Q: Can I install this product on a Storage Card?
A: No, Windows Live can currently only be installed to your device’s internal storage. Storage cards are not supported for this application as it extends several Windows Mobile features.
and the beta version use to aloow you to send a nudge from your device
not anymore bastards! loved that feature!

That is for Windows Live, messenger is not included. Here is the file for Windows Live Messenger 10.6.34.800
Thank you soooo much!!!!
I re-flashed my phone removing windows live+messenger from it because data plans here in NZ cost a small fortune (and i wanted a lighter rom for flashing), only to discover I could connect to my home wireless with 6.1 (and couldn't with the old 5.0 on my apache)
Thank you so much for the .cab for live+messenger. Damn microsoft removing it from the download. VERY UNCOOL!!!!

I have tried everything but I can't get messenger working the way it's supposed to.
I have the Verizon branded HTC Touch Pro, which doesn't ship with wlm. I've been able to get the one of MS's site (with no wlm) and it works fine. But no wlm. So I tried the "fixed" cab install, which installs and the program shows in the list of apps. But when I click it it doesn't do anything. The interface also gets screwy and theirs like artifact-lagging from menus. The first time I got it running, it showed up on the today screen and loaded my live ID, but just wasn't responding to my input. I unistalled and have tried it again but now the button for the app doesn't even do anything. Click, no response.
Help!
this is not a custom ROM, it's the stock wm6.1 pro for a "ralph".

does anyone have a tested version that works with 6.5
Im gettin a weird message by setting up windows messenger.
I installed it, and tried to run messenger, then this message appears:
"The Windows live id service requires a certificate, but yours isnt working. you can probably fix this by updating the time and date in your device´settings. Afer you do that, try connecting again."
I tried change date and time, but it wont work.
Anyone an idea?

Internet Explorer 6 ??????

Hi my friends, i just have a small request. Where in this world i can download the IE6.cab. I have look all over tha place with no success and i know is there, can someone guide me, THANKS....
Good Luck
I don't think you're going to find it around here. It's not liked very well. Most everyone here uses Opera or Skyfire.

I know my friend, i use Opera & Skyfire but i just want to see how it works, not to reed peoples comments !!!!
Afaik there is no cab file. IE6 has to be cooked into the ROM.
Its a bit like in windows where IE is built into the OS, but as we know WinMo doesn't support the kinda patching you would need tood.
Anyway, its still awful, yes flash works, but it eats ram ect!
I also need Internet Explorer from wm6, not necessarly a cab file, but at least the .exe of PIE.
I flashed a wm6.1 rom, and the wm6.1 PIE just sucks, I really want the older version back. I use opera and other browsers but in some cases pie is the best. Anyone who has an extracted rom/files from a rom please upload the PIE from wm6.

Does any browser supports flash?

Hi all,
I want to visit a site that is written in flash, but I haven't succeeded displaying it. I tried with the default opera browser of the latest ROM, with IE, and with opera 10 I installed from the opera site. I enabled the plugins in the options, but again nothing.
Any ideas?
Skyfire browser supports flash. I've never used it, but have an older copy. PM me if you can't find a current one.
Pls search....
Skyfire...
IE on WM6.5 (T-Mobile version) supports an older version of flash. I was able to get Last.FM and YouTube working (but not hulu, and YouTube native app is much better anyways).
you can get skyfire from http://get.skyfire.com
i dont like skyfire. flash actually will work with the ie from 6.5 (sorta), and close to all versions of opera cept that its buggy with 10. and dont expect great playback quality with any on a mobile device. to enable it in opera there i used to use this (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=544770) but it seems to work fine for me using this opera (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5902175&postcount=1669) on the stock 2.07 rom.
skyfire is your best bet. the latest release is wvga compatible too.
not bad

What ever version of opera comes in the stock Tilt 2 6.5 ROM doesn't support flash. IE has never supported flash by default. I had to install "Flash Player 7 Mobile" to get it to work. I still use Skyfire though. The new version has it's issues on the tilt 2 that I've found (distorted audio, browsing issues, etc), but hopefully it's just my device.

Do a search.
I didn't see anyone say that skyfire dropped windows mobile support, so its a wasted download, it was a few weeks ago... but its latest version was very awsome... makes me very sad to see it go. To my awareness there is no program that can stabally run web 2.0 type sites of any kind flash or other But other mobile OS's arn't much further

uZard supports flash. It's pretty slow compared to Skyfire, though.
