Hi, lastnight i upgraded my radio from .03 to .09 and it worked perfectly, as normal i had to make sure the phone was in bootloader mode to make t work, i got the files from this sites FTP server, XDA-Developers site is all you need!
Thank you to everybody that gives there views and advice freely!
P.S i got Pocket plus to install after i did another hard reset, phewwww
Don't want to sound stupid but ...
.. is upgrading your ROM an easy thing to do for a non teckie ?
Do you need to hard reset etc etc. ?
Is there a guide out there ?
Don't wanna take the plunge and mess things up. I've got loads of software and tweaks on my SPVM5000 - will Sprite Back up re-install with a new ROM. I'm also on 1.13.49 same as jab1a.
Hello All,
If i replace my xda exec rom to orange rom, it will be locked?
Another question, where can i get the radio rom 1.09 to flash the orange rom?
Thank you,
racerx
Hi Rick GM,
the ROM upgrade is pritty easy and the Radio update is aswell, everything you need to know or might not need to know about the update is in the WiKi and forum. its real easy.
As for backups, im not sure how this works but for good measure before i did the upgrade i did a FULL backup, then i did a non-rom backup (i.e i just backed-up the things i had installed on the m5000) then i did a PIM and message backup (note: i only ever have problems with a restore when i decide to restore the messages databases so unless you realy need to i would only backup the PIM(contacts) database). I think if you tryed to do a full backup and then do the upgrade and then restore the full backup you might run into a few errors or incompatability. it only takes about 30mins to do the update and about another 20mins to re-install all your software and then the rest of your life to get all the setting you want just right! lol
I am sure you will do fine, after all this is the best site in the world for PPC so im sure someone here would be able to help you if it all goes pear shaped
Moved thread from news section
Thanks for that jab 1a
I haven't taken the plunge yet but it's coming !
I think your 20 minutes to re-instal software is a bit optimistic even if all goes well. I reckon it will take me an hour plus to sort out all the cr*p that I've got on my device. (I keep a copy of everything but some's on my home PC and some at work).
I'll update you when I finally pluck up courage / find the time.
BTW - I'm only going to do it because you can. Isn't that what these devices are all about ?

Well I upgraded with the ROM from the Orange site (1.30.90) - no problem. That's good news.
Sprite Backup V5.1 is newly released this week and boasts cross ROM/Device backup capability after capturing your old ROM in .sbu file immediately after hard reset and prior to ROM upgrade.
It hasn't worked - it won't recognise my .sbu file (Invalid Upgrade File) or words to that effect so it looks like a slog to put everything back on (unless Sprite can restore (no pun intended) my faith in them and come up with an answer. Might have a go at the Radio Rom next.
I have the new ROM from Qtek into my Universal. Is it worth the upgrade to this new Orange ROM?
best regards,
Deiota

Sprite really screwed up here.
When they released 5.1, they re-introduced their killer rom upgrade proof restore feature. It even works for the new self-extracting restores. How cool is that?
Now, today, I had to have my SPV M5000 replaced (same model) because of a screen problem, and knew the replacement would be AKU2, so I purchased Sprite 5.1 to back up with. I looked around all the different pages I could find showing how to use Device Upgrade Mode. All had links to the same GetUpgradeData.exe. So, even though I had that nagging developers' intuition that this must be wrong, I assumed it was the right version. I only had twelve hours to puchase, get the file down, and do all the backup stuff.
Then I exchanged devices with the courier. (Orange care is great (mostly!)). However, when I tried to restore, what a surprise: "Invalid Upgrade File". Checked back on Sprite Site - ONE page out of the five or six links to GetUpgradeData2005.exe. Howl !!!! :x
Can someone please post an UpgradeData.sbu, from a clean vanilla Pre-AKU2 M5000, dumped with the new GetUpgradeData2005.exe, otherwise someone at Sprite is just gonna have to die. Lots.
Many, Many thank yous in advance!
Update: Sprite have kindly offerred to provide an sbu for 1.13.53 WWE.
Unfortunately, as best as I can remember, mine Rom was 1.13.49 WWE.
Can anyone please tell me of an identifying characterstic by which I dould have distinguished the two versions (bearing in mind - I don't have the device any more), or even better an upgrade file (sbu) for 1.13.49 WWE?
Mutant
I too used the GetUpgradeData.exe as advised by Sprite. After registering my problem they advised me to use the GetUpgradeData2005.exe and sent me a copy. Unfortunately I'd already upgraded the ROM so didn't have the .sbu pre upgrade. I've since got a clean 1.13.49 from a colleagues Orange SPV M5000 but the backup still didn't work. Sprite recognised the .sbu but just messed up the device (after partially restoring) requiring several hard resets. If you want the .sbu, I think I've got it stored somewhere. Let me know.

hey bro thanks for sharing but i tried uk and nl and both archives are corrupt???
please reupload the ruu or try a different link thanks in advance!
I tried DE, AT, UK - they work fine here!
Tried AT Version - download does not work!
Hmmmm, for me it worked perfect.
Do we have a straight link ?? I mena to t-mobile site ??
Sorry, i am to stupid
I have always thought, i am a ppc-pro.
But now, i am at the end of my wisdom.
My Device is the MDA Vario II from T-Mobile (get it 1 week ago).
First i have done was to visit the xda-devs, read all about upgrading a hermes, flashed HardSPL, flashed Schaps 3.54b -> all went fine.
Now i would like to try this Official Rom and this is where i stuck.
Can i simply Flash this one and is my Device after that still with HerdSPL or do this overwrite my IPL / SPL.
If this is so, can i reflash HardSPL and change to any other Rom (Schaps new one, when released or else).
Sorry for so many questions, i really read all the Wiki - Sites but i can not figured out how this work.
Because my English is not so good and it is hard to read so many technical Threads.
Thank you for any answers.
give it a day and someone will cut the bloat out and release it with a custom ruu if your unsure
i have extract this by myself and repacked it without the ipl.nb and spl.nb.
but i am not sure if i can flash this with the ruuwrapper.exe found on this forum.
This is possibly the most impressive released ever!
T-Mobile UK have been saying that there would be no update for the past 12months and its got an official release!
Gonna flash and reply in a few!
I have updated my ROM thread accordingly to celebrate the release!!!
does it come with a radio version?
Rom:
3.60.110.4
Radio:
1.50.00.00
Protocol:
32.83.7020.20h
Nothing yet on the official download site
... and it appears to be identical to the test version pushed out a few months back. Presumably the "For Test only" splashscreen has been removed.
Indeed it has been and its fast, I went into Hard-SPL and it flashed up!
Does anyone know what SPL this should be?
Herm300
IPL-1.04
HERM300
SPL-2.03
OS 5.2.1620 (Build 18125.0.4.2)
ROM Date 09/05/07
Storage (total) 47.73 (Free) 39.34
Program (total) 48.77 (Free) 28.54
Anychance of getting it extracted? I managed to flash using Hard-SPL and it all works very very well, uber fast
Never been so happy with my Windows Mobile 6.
Has installed okay on mine with no messing around with RUU's or anything.
No test version on the splash, although its a little jarring to go back to the god awful pink and white on first reboot. Now where did I put my Black themes......?
I really miss the original Spawn splash screen. Did anyone ever actually release an installer for it?
Hello everyone,
sorry for posting this noob questions here, I see that you all are discussing software development and stuff, but it is the only place I've found to ask about it.
My situation: I have a Dell Axim X51v wich is still on warranty and CompleteCare (until march 2009!). It has a WM5 A04 Portuguese Rom wich is very unstable and quite lame (I don't like the system in portuguese!) and I'm looking forward to use the WM6 Football Rom, that everywhere I read says its very nice.
The fact is: If I had to call Dell for support, I'll need to give them the Ax with the WM5 Portuguese rom. I really consider this since the device isn't brand new and if something happens I don't want to loose it.
So, what I need to know is how (and if it is possible of course) to get the image of my Ax as it is now, to store in a safe copy on my pc or a cd, upgrade to Football's WM6 (wich version, btw? I see that there are RTM and Preview A06 on the thread) and then eventually get it back to my current rom, if I need to use the warranty. I know that the upgrade part is well documented around the internet, but the downgrade to the same or similar system is the major doubt.
I'll be grateful for any help. I'm new to all this and there are lots of knowledge around. Never had any experience flashing, just upgraded my ROM one time with the official procedure from HP, on my old Ipaq.
Thanks!!
I do not recommand to install the new file because they will broke dell warranty (I know you still come back to A12 rom but for potugal rom I don't know.
Well, I guess since you can flash a different language ROM of a different OS you could turn back to the other... or does there are problem flashing into an "older" version rom? (mine is A04 brazilian)
Anyway, thanks for the reply!
My WM5 is crashing frequently and I don't know why... I've installed some old dictionaries and maybe they messed it up. As I think on hard-reseting it, I consider the system upgrade, since WM5 is stupidly slow sometimes...
anyone else know about this rom switch-around?
I guess that if I have to call Dell, or my Ax is usable and I can switch the rom or it is unusable and probably they won't note that it was hacked! What about that?
Iv installed TLR Diamond ROM 1 and my fone had a Russian Rom on it when I bought it. Can anyone help me?? When I try contacting to vodafone..the wait cursor appears but nothing happens..
Thats strange..
did you install anything else? If yes, then try a hard reset first.
Thanx for the rep mate but as a matter of fact i tried everything, u c i have have alot of devices and frequently ugrade most of them and have never bricked any of them..but the diamond just dosnt work for me. Tired installed signed and unsigned roms with the reqiured spl'z but...
Even when the roms are loaded the system is slow and non-responsive. It was fine when i bought it with the Russian rom on it..WHATS WRONG...Dont have a clue..
Did you try installing the new roms that came out yesterday? with updated localization(network settings)???
that sounds like new "region protection" in action.
see this thread for details:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=402740
Thanx for the info guys.. oddball1~ i did try installing the newer roms that came out yesterday but no help there..I guess SecureGSM is write..just read the thread and I think its the region protection. According to that nothing simz to wok AND its work in progress..i guess i just have to wait or start tryn cookin my own roms..lol
Diamond finally Working
ok guys..iv installed the Russian rom back on the device and now the networks connected.As for before everything was working fine..touch flow n all only no network..but after the Russian rom..all gud...So according to my knowledge there is a lock with the network that only allows the Russian stock rom...if only there was a way to change the language...m able to change the language of the touch flow by changing the language code in the registry but not the whole rom..as i can remember some guy changed the laguage in the registy and installed a software which changed the roms language but it wasnt a diamond....hmm..more googling i guesss...Any help!!!
Hello folks,
i am kinda new here, but i already spend three hours of searching on Wiki section of Hermes and this forum onto how to upgrade my Windows Mobile 5 to version 6.1.
I decided to choose a custom made ROM of Windows 6.1. Before i did the HardSPL upgrade, and now there is something i need to ask you guys.
Do i have to be afraid of screwing the device doing a straight upgrade to 6.1 from 5 ? I could find any clues on this.
Please give advice, thank you so much.
My advise is to go the 6.0 first purely for upgrading your radio to the latest release then flash with any 6.1 you want.
that emerges one more question- i am using the vodafone branded Hermes from UK in Slovakia /middle europe, so i should proceed to flash Win Mobile 6.0 first with which provided version of Win for best results ?
thatx again

Looks like it's got a 1.47.00.10 radio, so any of those will do ... actually best to follow this from day 1 http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1990320&postcount=6
Edit my 4shared as the att stripped ROM without radio as flashing too many radios can lead to a brick, so yeah
i just checked my radio version, its 1.32.00.00. sry for one more question, but i am totally new and this device costed me so much
which version can i use now ? please tell me the exact name
other details:
windodws mobile 5.1.461 (build 15671.3.3.0)
rom version 2.04.161.2
rom date 01/19/07
radio version 1.32.00.00
protocol version 32.65.7020.09W
HARD SPL YOUR PHONE 1ST!!!!!!!!!
Just about EVERY cooked rom has this as the header.
At least if something goes wrong you have a chance to recover your "expensive" toy.
If you don't have it and something goes wrong, like for example you don't have a superCID device and flash a different carrier rom, you may be able to fix it instead of getting an expensive paperweight..... READ the tutorials, thats what they're for, so we don't have people calling for help. So many people would still have a functional phone if they took the time to do a bit of research.

Good morning icefirsr,
I'm pretty new at this as well, and have flashed my phone over a dozen times in the last week. Believe me, three hours is not enough research time yet. There are many things to learn, and some of these folks are extremely knowlegable about this stuff.
Those of you with a lot of experience, please correct any of the following you don't agree with.
This is what I have done, after reading a lot of different threads:
1) Do a HARD SPL first.
2) Unlock the phone, both cid and sim
3) Read about radios - I've settled on 1.47.30.10 - it seems to be doing well with both battery life and signal reception.
4) LEARN about the different types - NonRBSN, RBSN, lite, normal, full, compressed, non-compressed. Each has stengths and weaknesses concerning speed, storage utilization, stability, features - it goes on and on.
I've flash different flavors, and am on DVH_V27_NoBS. It's a 6.1 ROM, and so far, it is great. I believe it was released on 10/30/2008.
**(Please excuse my sig for not stating my configuration, been flashing too much, but may have settled on this one for a bit.)
I've been impressed with many - I like the PDACorner roms, version 11 was my first ever flash. I'm waiting on V27 to be re-released, the first iteration I had a few problems with, but liked the speed it offered, and especially like the CRC Device Update and Connection Wizard that was included. Speaking of CRC, I really like V13, and was using it before the current DVH rom I'm using - am anxious for V14, which may even be out now.
That said, this is addicting, even bought another 8525 on eBay for play/flashing purposes...
Could any of the more experienced folks please add to this? I don't want to lead anyone down the wrong path.
Thanks a bunch everyone.

please dont use caps, especially, when you are not right here, my first post already said that i did HARD SPL first
Johnzai thank you for a such long response, i am looking forward to flashing it, but i am still a bit afraid of flashing it from 5.0 to 6.0, because i dont know , which of the official 6.0 ROMS with radio update should i use to finally get to 6.1, i just cant find it anywhere

I would advise trying to download the official release from your cell provider first. I'm not sure if it's necessary to go from 5 to 6 to 6.1 - but verify this first. I would think you could go straight to 6.1 - perhaps upgrade your radio first to version 1.47.30.10 - I've used that version on both 6 and 6.1.
With the radio upgraded, then you could flash any 6.1 - as long as you've unlocked the phone, have you done that yet?
I would advise waiting for a post to verify this, or read a bit more about jumping from 5 to 6.1..... If I knew for sure, I would tell you instead of sending you to "threadland".
ok so far i have done this:
1.getting HARD SPL
2.doing SIM and CID unlock
3.updating RADIO to the one you mentioned , working fine, did some phone calls
4.i am gonna do a 6.1 win update straight ahead, its a cooked one,hope it works, anyone gives me a reason to not do this ?
ty
Sounds like so far, so good. I would advise reading the following post about types of ROMS:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=412895&page=113
Then, look at using this DVH Rom:

Just upgrade to any of the ROMs I gave you earlier, with the radio you desire I upgraded to the latest 1.56 radio but I flashed with the ATT ROm first and I have a jasjam so .... they are inter compatible
