Guide to update ROM

---

Good-morning to all xda members and many thanks to the people who dedicate a lot of their free time to update Himalaya to Mobile 6.

Im a newbie and i would like you to help me!

Can you reply to this thread by posting all the steps for updating my ppc (Qtek 2020 / wm5) (Steps and software that i need)
e.g 1. charge ppc
2. ActiveSync
3. soft .......

This will help a lot, im afraid that i may damage my ppc that i bought from another person with wm5.

Thanks In advance

also Id like to know if i need to back up old rom and how to do it (also the software)

it's in the zip file of most wm5 roms as a txt file

1. Start your device in bootloader mode by pressing and holding down:

DPad + PowerButton + ResetButton

After a second release ResetButton, then release the rest of them.
Your screen will show word "Serial" at the top.
You are in bootloader mode now.

2. Place your device in the cradle, ensuring that the cradle
is plugged directly into a USB port on your PC and not to a hub
and that the power supply is connected to the cradle.
It is also a good idea to disable any screensavers on your desktop PC.

Once your device is cradled, the text on the screen will change to "USB".


3. Run HimaUpgradeUt_noid.exe

4. Sit back and wait for the Congratulations screen to be displayed
on your PC. Your device will still be displaying 'Upgrading radio stack, please wait',
but as long as the PC says it is done, then its all OK.

5. Detach your device from the cradle.

6. Now you have to hardreset your device.
Press ResetButton and hold down CameraButton + RecordButton.
Hold them pressed until the "Boot Options" menu appears on the screen.

Select the options as follows:
(for selecting use RecordButton, change values with CameraButton)

Enable KITL -> NO
Clean Registry Hive -> YES
Format Storage -> YES

When done, press DPad and wait until OS starts.

thank you

the same...........

For the current WM6 ROMs you also need to do a couple of things after that (I believe because they are still really testing ROMs).

From the c_shekhar ROM readme:

Once the device comes to life after hard reset for the first time, goto Settings-->Connections-->USB to PC and check the advance network functionality.

And from utak3r :

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\Events]
"SYSTEM/BatteryAPIsReady"="Battery Interface APIs"

(explanation/step by step here http://forum.xda-developers.com/show...y#post1484842).

Hi, at first i would like to thank all who dedicate their time and worked hard to update Himalaya to Mobile 6.
Sorry maybe it is a stupid question but do i have to upgrade to wm5 before I can upgrade to wm6? Actually wm3 is on the Hima.
Thank you all for your aswers.

Nope - flashing a ROM erases everything from the previous ROM (except the radio stack and (I believe) the ramdisk) so it does not matter what you had before.
