Newbie: How to do WM6 Upgrade for O2 XDA Mini S using XDA Orbit WM6 OS.nb?

[dangel2001]

Hello,
I am really new to this topic and would like to upgrade my O2 XDA Mini S to WM6 (german). The device currently runs on one of the last original Qtek-Firmware Versions using CID unlock.

I figured out that O2 offers an official upgrade to WM6 for the XDA Orbit and was able to extract the 06_os.nb from the whole upgrade-rom (nbh-file). Is it possible to use the original (german) O2 OS Upgrade with the latest OS Firmware for my XDA Mini S to upgrade to WM6 German Edition or is there any other German Firmware including WM6 for my Wizard?

I found some methods on ROM Cooking, but none of them were basing on a existing OS ROM of third Firmware. Despite of that the process of building a whole ROM seems very complicated and risky to me. Is there an less complicated solution?

Best Regards
Gabriel

no, there are hardware differences which matter - keyboard, different buttons etc

yes - use someone's custom rom, there are plenty to choose from

Hello,thanks for your answer. I would use someone's custom-rom but I would like to have a german version which I wasn't able to found yet. Is there any version in German language available anywhere?

What about the ROM-Kitchen tools availble somewhere here? I figured out that some ROM-Chefs use the microsoft emulator images as basis for their custom roms. There is a german version of these rom's available too. Can I Cook my own ROM on basis of the emulator image using one of the ROM-Kitchen tools?
