Help on Windows Mobile 6.1

[Mattster_spv]

Hi all.

I just bought an Orange spv m700. Original owner has debranded it and installed WM 6.1

Device name: HTC_P3600i
Model NO: TRIN100
Windows Mobile 6.1 Professional
ROM version 3.03.751.5
ROM Date: 04/01/08
Radio Version: 1.16.00.00
Protocol Version: 32.53.7018.01H

I'm new to this flashing lark, and to tell you the truth I see little difference from the WM5 I'm used to (and I prefer the blue spec of WM5 to the green WM6.1)

What difference should WM 6.1 have made to the device? :confused:

I'm getting there.. using the stylus to handwrite messages is incredibly faster! Yep, growing to love this as much as the spv m600.

Schaps Advanced configuration tool (works w/wm6.1.) has a tweak to stop SIM contacts appearing, which is cool, and to lower volume of start up sound.

Nice link Tnyynt, very interesting read.

I'm avoiding the ever increasing temptation to test all these "great" roms out there because:
1. I don't know how easy it is to install them.
2. If anything goes wrong with my phone I can not sleep, eat or work til it is fixed!

Well,seems like is been unlocked already....so I don't think you should have any problem if you decide to upgrade/downgrade.Otherwise you can always unlock it yourself and even fix it.
Play with it and enjoy it after that, just decide what you want to do....but wm6 and 6.1 go really smooth,regarding wm5 blue theme I'm sure you can get it online,plus tnyynt is making some kick ass themes upon request.


Kind regards.

Hi DTA.

Thanks for the reply.

To tell you the truth, I have no idea yet how to change a rom. The phone came from ebay as it is, more or less.

BUT! This week I have learnt:
1. How to install a new theme - just need to copy a .tsk file to my device!
2. How to tweak - just insert the necessary .cab file for the tweaking program and tap on it to install!

There seem to be some great looking ROMS out there, most tempting, but as far as I can see from WIKI, changing a ROM is a lot more tricky and risky, no? I'm willing to learn, but I really need a step by step guide for dummies! (which I haven't found in "Wiki" yet).

[dta1974]

This is a good guide www.trinityguides.info or send a PM with your questions and concerns. ;)

[Mattster_spv]

lol... I just been reading that! Bizarre coincidences.

I guess it's NOT that tricky! I know I have Hard-SPL installed on my device (saw it when I flashed new Radio Ram).

So, I guess, all I need is to pick a ROM .cab file (I now know they appear as a .zip file) and do it. So many to choose from in the threads, but then you scroll on a bit and see posts from people who have run into all sorts of problems!

I don't think I'm really into all this touch-flo cube stuff. It looks cool but I wonder if it's really that useful or practical to use... so many recommended Rams out there!

the original WM5 on HTC version is Green also (puke no more blue theme) and the orange (SPV) were... orange :eek:.

well well well... windows 6.1 is as pretty as WM6 but as fast as WM5...
as always there is some bug but you can nearly solve all of them consulting this forum :D

i will never go back to WM5 :cool:
