Dear all,
I contacted HTC for my device upgrading and ROM updates, and they direct me to this forum.
I have a TyTN unlocked device, and want to upgrade to WM6. I explored all what you posted here but couldn't decide which version and link is suitable for me. Any way, here down my device information, and I'm appreciating any help to upgrade my device to WM6.
Device Information:
Device Name: HTC TyTN (Unlocked)
Language: English
Processor: SC32442A - 400MHz
Memory: 49.05 MB
System: Windows Mobile 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
That are all information I could get from my device
Need Help my friends.
After all, I beleive that HTC should have an upgrade area to support their devices.
Thank you in advance.
Hi there!
its good to know that HTC assistants sent you here on this forum !!
I can suggest you to go for the wm6 image black 2.5 as its been always the most stable for me, so read the wiki and all the documents to upgrade your hermes to that version.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=37&Itemid=26
and don't run in the upgrade, take your time to read everything and if you don't understand something, come back here.

It depends on your personal reasons for upgrading. If you want to upgrade because of more speed and more stability you should try Black 2.5. If you are doing it because of adventuresomeness you should give all of the great roms here a try.
But at least you should try Black 2.5, Duttys V2 and Custels 1.3 to find out which one is the best for you. You should also try different radios to see if theres a difference in your area.
And don't forget the most important object: read mrvanx upgrade guides very very carefully and follow every step exactly.
be aware that the ROMs here are *unofficial* and *unsupported* ROMs.
HTC will NOT help you out if you screw up your device.
if you are unsure about flashing, then stay with the stock ROM.
I have a UK unlocked Tytn and would very strongly recommend Black 2.5.
My first ever ROM upgrade was Black 1.2 and it was soo god. 2.0 was even better and 2.5 better still. Have had no problems, battery life is much better, doesn't lockup/freeze any more, loads more memory available.....i could go on.
Go for it - follow mrvanx's upgrade guide. he makes it very easy
Flashig roms is one way... be careful...
When I first flashed a WM6 Rom on to my HERMES I made sure I read all the preinstall instructions very carefully as I didn't have a clue about flashing. MR VANX's guide is excellent, follow it carefully and you can't go wrong.
I have now successfully flashed numerous ROMS on to my device.
No-one can tell you which is the best ROM as they are all excellent for their own different features and customisations. You will need to try a few and see which you like best.
Good Luck.
I highly doubt
That an HTC representative sent someone here for ROM updates to WM 6.0.
If they did and are caught, they will probably be terminated.
I deal with HTC regularly and they don't condone or encourage our methods of tuning and research.
Be careful out there.
Thank you
Thank you a lot for your replies guys. They helped me a lot. I'll do the upgrade and will back to you with the results. Thanks again.

It always amazes me how corporate structures can be so schizoid. I too have received- from in-the-trenches personel- a pointer to this site specifically for beta testing WM6 Push. Conversely, the moderators here made it clear that management at HTC was a major impetus behind MS's request that the ftp archives be pulled.
The kicker for me is that the Wiki on HTC's US site specifically points to this XDA-developers and those postings are all vetted by someone at HTC USA. I'm thankful for that because that's how I found this site in the first place.
My Upgrading Status
First of all, I would like to add my voice to (teambnet) that I'm thankful for them to made me know this website and forum in the first place.
OK, about my upgrading status guys, I did exactely as shown in mrvanx.org website and did install WM6 Black 2.5, everything is gone fine except one thing, that the button of contact voice tag is not working. When I push that button, it gives me a message "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename.", I tried then to assign the shortcut to a program by going to Start --> Settings --> Buttons, but I couldn't find the program that should be assigned. I don't know if my problem are clear or not but I tried to explain as much I could. Any suggestions to solve that?
Thanks all,
Reda,

I always suspected that secretly HTC were using us as beta testing guinea pigs, now it looks like I was right! And half of the fixes for their bugs are created by developers on this site.
Seriously though, if your Hermes is no longer covered by the original HTC warranty (as mine was from the very first day I got it, since I bought it from an "unauthorized" distributor), then HTC have nothing to lose by pointing someone to this site. They might as well have said, "Flush it down the toilet for all we care..."
John
HTC's wiki is just like ours, anyone can edit it... So i doubt that HTC themselves put a link to XDA on their wiki, but someone else probably did..
You need to install the voice commander CAB located on the first page of BLACK2.5 Then remap the button.
You should read thru the numerous posted before asked already resolved issues. Congrats on the UPGRADE!!!

Finally Finished
Hi all,
Thank you stuckes, I did as you told me and everything gone very nice. WM6 is a nice OS, not that much different from WM5 at least for me. But, it's nice. Thank you all for your help in that.
I got a question, when I would to upgrade, there are many versions of WM6, Black2.5 and other versions, where can I find a complete comparison with screenshots of them to decide if I'm gonna change to another one or stick to black 2.5?
Regards,
Arnie gets tough with the chefs.....

Hi,
I'm lucky enough to have a new toy arriving soon. Actually, it is already a second hand, o2 xda zinc. I'm already excited so I'm reading tons of stuffs here. But I'm not lucky getting the right forum group and the official roms. I've notice that most of the o2 xda zinc stuffs falls under hermes. If hermes is not the right forum, kindly point me in the right direction. Is it under this forum then? Secondly, I went in to the official website www.mwg.com to download the roms, but now luck would somebody be kind enough to help me download all these roms for both wm5 and wm6 on xp and vista. for the country selection, please choose philippines. may i also, be so bold to ask, to pls do include the streaming media(this is only for philippines). thanks. i would really appreciate it. btw, when i try to download, nothing happens, it(the website) just stays/sits there for so long then it says done on the status(lower left corner of my internet explorer). nothing is donwloaded, nothing happens when i try to download

Hi,
I've seen on many sites the possibility to upgrade the ram to 128Mo. The problem is: I come from France.
And: I haven't found any french sites about it.
So: I would like to do it myself
Is it possible?
Thanks and sorry for my english... I am French.
Yes, it's possible. I just stumbled over this wiki article:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Universal_128MBRAM
But it's difficulty, as far as I can say.
BTW: I tried to answer in French as well, but I realized that I haven't kept a lot from school. Sorry.
Hi all,
I'm new here, but love the work you've done. I upgraded to the Kavana ROM. It's great. I had problems with the keyboard and installed the T9full cab to fix the number pad. Now the only problem I am seeming to have is that the @ key (Alt J) is the British pound rather than the @ symbol. I have been unable to figure out how to change it back. I am set up as being in the US and language as English (US).
Thanks,
RDP

Oh I was going to post the same thing haha... you again beat me to the punch lol...
I did some searching around regarding this but could not come up with any final conclusions regarding this issue. I'm posting this on behalf of a friend of mine who has a Dash. I know it's possible to set up ppcs to have Japanese input (i've set up my tilt to do so) but can this be done on a smartphone?
If anyone has any feedback regarding this that would be a great help! Thanks!

Yup its posible I've done it before my dash.
with english and japanese/chinese characters it was a .cab file that I downloaded from some company I delet it the file some time ago because I have the new rom from kavana that has english/chinese so I din't think I would need it anymore. The only proble I had was that it took alot of memory from the phone.
Hahahahaha sorry I cant post it. you should look for it better if you can't find it I think I have the download link bookmark on my friends PC and see if I can share it....
If you could post that that would be great. I've searched for some time and have had no luck finding it. When you installed it were you still able to input with english characters as well? I'm not familiar with how smartphones work.
Anyone else know if this is possible?
