I wanted to note for those trying to find this answer on the internet – I tried installing the XP version of the update on Windows 7 with Compatibility set to XP SP2 with no luck. I did the update with the Vista file set to Vista SP1.

As for the Modem update, I don’t think its supported with x64 or Windows 7, but I did end up setting that to Windows XP SP2 and it worked on the Windows 7 machine.

Hope this helps anyone looking! I looked all over!

Just a word of help to all those who tried this, I was running the ROM updater and after the three downloads my device read: “Time: “, and a number from 100 – 300 that changed too fast to see. On my computer the window read: “Waiting for a next image “. I wasn’t too pleased, thinking i had bricked my device, but i waited for at least an hour, still to no avail. So, i did the unthinkable and unplugged my device with text all over the screen… I then pulled the battery out, killing it, and then replaced the battery and restarted my device in download mode. My device reformatted and is now running WM6.1 seamlessly (with all those good tweaks and stuff from here too). WM6.1’s slider home screen absolutely rocks, and it trumps every theme I have for it (no offense to all those amazing designers, very impressive).

Hope this helps someone!

Hello, again. Naturally, I found exactly what I was looking for just after I left the preceding message. Thank you so much. And, never mind.

Hello, all. I just upgraded by BJ2-i617 to 6.1 at the end of last week. I don’t want to do anything too complicated, but I would like to be able to have ringtones and other sounds a little longer than 300 kb. Because I’ve already upgraded to 6.1, what should I do? If it’s something already posted that worked for 6.0 but will also work for 6.1, I’d appreciate the link. Thank you.

i have succesfully updated my blackjack 2. I highly recomend doing it, but if you do make sure you follow directions exact!!!! if you get the annoying beeping sound, make sure you followed the step on installing the modem drivers. it is needed, also make sure if you do windows xp download, make sure your running service paxk 2. not 3. 3 does not work. to check go to start and right click on my computer and select properties. there it wil show you your service pack that your running….

other than that youll be running your blackjack 2 on windows 6.1 …thanks for the upload!! keep up the great work!!! i will recomend this site to friends.

Is windows mobile 6.5 available for the blackjack 2? if not, will there every be? is there perhaps any ROMS floating around that would install correctly on it?
