Paul - Have you reflashed your Vario III with this ROM? And if so - are you going to keep it or go back to TLR's 6.1 build?

QUOTE(Paul (MVP) @ May 21 2008, 09:17)  The update adds Windows Mobile 6.1 with improvements such as the 'Getting Started' wizard, Threaded SMS and general performance and battery life updates, as well as HTC's 'video performance' update. So what's it like? Performance IS improved, however with no real video acceleration, don't get your hopes up TOO much! So ... to avoid any confusion later on ... should we highlight that this will be released as the HTC WM 6.1 update, and NOT the Hardware Device Driver that we have been waiting for. Or am I having a totally blonde day? -------------------- --

I am having a blonde day then! and double bugger, as I was under the impression that HTC had conceded that they would release a hardware driver! /deflated now! -------------------- --

Would anyone here know if this is possible...
Running stock HTC ROM 6.0 1) Create a backup using "Resco Backup" 2) Save all messages using PIM backup 3) Upgrade to ROM 6.1 4) Restore the application backup and messages from before the upgrade * Or are the differences between versions too much> I'd rather not have to re-install everything (again). Over and out! |

Backup / Restore: It's not generally recommended, but it might work in this instance. Nothing to lose by trying!
MarkHempstead: I'm not really familiar with the best process for flashing Orange devices, I know there were some issues with HardSPL etc. early on. I'm guessing it won't just flash on without you doing sneaky things... P -------------------- Paul O'Brien - Microsoft MVP, Mobile Devices, MoDaCo.network Founder.

Ummmmmm, isn't this an example of modaco hosting an illegal / unofficial rom?.... Thought the recent relaxation of the rules was to allow discussion, not distribution? So what gives?...... M.S |

Over and out! I used PPC PIM backup to take texts, emails, call logs and contacts from 6.0 to 6.1, it works perfectly so long as you make sure the email accounts are already set up SO this means that TLR's new ROM is just around the corner? awesome |

I get an invalid vendor ID error when running this on my Vodafone V1615. Someone remind me what I need to do to remove the vendor lock?
