i have bad news. I called T-Mobile today to ask if there would be an Update for the MDA Compact 3. The answer was : NO, there will be no Update...
Shoking... thats not a good answer.
BUT!!
I read that it would be possible to use the O2 Rom or the official HTC ROM if i CID Unlock my device. I would pay the 28€ to imei-check if this is true..
Can anyone tell me if this will really work?? Does this work without other hacking of the device??
You don't need to CID unlock to upgrade to WM6.
Check the upgrading forum..
Relax, i already wrote twice and called once. 3 different people (of course) and 3 different answers.
1: it will come arround june/july
2: they dont know when it will come exactly
3: its not planned at all
blablabla
@ hollinshead got a link for me?
Download the ROM from here:

Instructions for how to update / tools needed are here:

Make sure you install enablerapi.cab before else you'll end up with a bricked MDA and have to restore it through bootloader!
Bootloader!
How can i recover by bootloader? i have a portuguese rom! Please help me!!!
YES!
I also called T-Mobile Germany (Business Line), and they told me that they're going to release WM6 in the beginning of June.

Since O2 UK had introduced the Orbit to the UK market, there's non of Official O2 Orbit ROM released.
So, UK Orbit CID Locked owners MUST NOT do the ROM thing.
Ask : Why must not do that??
Ans : If the device is bricked, there's no way to fix it without paying the money to "Unlocked CID Dudes" and I bet you don't want to.
Ask : What do I need Official O2 Orbit for?
Ans : If the device is bricked, it's the only way to bring your device back to life without paying.
Ask : How about I download the Orbit German ROM and install it?
Ans : the Germany ROM will NOT allow the UK Orbit device to do that.
Ask : How about USPL thing before upgrading the ROM?
Ans : You will take a very high risk if you want to
Ask : If I upgrade only the OS?
Ans : Same as above
Ask : What should I do now?
Ans : Wait for the O2 UK to release the Official O2 Orbit ROM and you can take any risk whichever ROM from wherever you want. If it's brick, you can bring it back to life with the bootloader.
Ask : When the O2 UK will release an Official ROM for the Orbit?
Ans : Don't know the right date yet but I'm pretty sure that we have been waiting for that news.
Ask : How about the owners that already brick their device?
Ans : Hehe, they're still waiting for an official ROM also. (including me)
SO!!, why ain't we force them(O2 UK) to release the WM6 soon. or how about we ask them to release at least Original official WM5 out here like O2 Germany does, so we can get it unbrinked.
yep, that's the situation I'm in.
I called o2 a few days ago and they said that WM6 would be available in a few weeks!
They also said it would only be available for a limited time. Strange.
Anyway, I'm stuck using my old Nokia 3330 until o2 release a ROM update!
O2 update
I emailed O2 with this exact question....(When will WM6 be available for download)
They called me a day later saying that they intend to release WM6 for the Orbit at the end of summer (around end of August sometime). That was exactly what they told me.............
I guess it's just a bit more of a waiting game then..........so annoying when version 6 has been around for a while already.....
Bricked Device Solution
Hi guys,
Just thought I'd let you know that I too bricked my Orbit. I took it back to the shop and acted like it just happened by itself ;-) They took it in and I had it repaired free of charge within 10 days. It can't hurt to try.
hehe...
i bricked my orbit, taken it in to shop, no questions asked they re-flashed ROM back to WM5 with no charge or sucking the back of their teeth, saying that it has taken nearly 3 weeks,

i did the WM6 upgrade on my CID locked orbit, and it worked first time without any problems, i think if you follow the instructions carefully you will be ok. not sure if the USPL upgrade method will unbrick a device but it does work, you just need to be brave and very careful.
it was posted a number of times already...
- before upgrading, do uspl to be safe.
- have original rom before upgrade, so you can always come back to original rom if you want;
it is always your choice upgrade it or not. nobody force you.

Hi,
I did my first ROM upgrade the other day on my CID locked O2 XDA Orbit using the USPL method.
Found it very clear and easy to use and I now have a lovely WM6 version.
Just follow the instructions properly and you should be fine.
Cheers
There is now original O2 Orbit WM5 ROM available so you can return your orbit to how it was..http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=314866
Hi,
my firsts post here!
Can anyone direct me to a thread where they explain to me how to upgrade my Vodafone 1606 Hermes version to WM6?
I spoke to Vodafone and HTC a few times. In mid June Voda told me that they know nothing about it, in mid Aug, a lady was 100% sure that there is a link on their website, i wish i tried there and then, of course i cud not find anything, then in late Aug I was transferred to a guy that seemed to know what he was talking about (from tech-support, said he has Hermes) and he said he is embarassed that Vodafone does not provide an upgrade.
Anyway, I registered for HTC fan club but it does not recognise my S/N....
Pls help by advising how or at least where to look

asherpat,
Welcome to xda-developers. It can be really overwhelming at first, but this is the site for you. If you want to upgrade your hermes, start here:

And for any question you have, first use google's search site tool and search here extensively. You will eventually find what you are looking for.
Registering on htc site
Hi mate,
You cannot register your v1605 on htc site as it is vodafone... By upgrading to no vodafone official upgrade you will be voiding your warranty... something i did two days after buying my v1605!!... Good Luck mate... I found no trouble during the process.
I bought my Excalibur from a carrier in Mexico called Movistar, but, as I explored the USB settings on Windows when my Excalibur was plugged, I found that the device appeared connected with the following name:
High Tech Computer - SPV C400 / T-Mobile SDA GSM / GPRS Pocket PC
Does this mean that my Excalibur is officialy branded for T-Mobile???
If so, a T-Mobile original RUU would work to flash my Excalibur right???
Could you post a rapidshare link for T-Mobile's original ROM???
I'm desperate, I bricked my phone and I can only get it back by flashing it with the original ROM, please, hurry and anwer!!! I BEG YOU!!

But the one I really need is the original 1.15.517.1 that came with my Excalibur...
...I tried a TMO US WM6 ROM but no luck... anyway, I'll take whatever help you can provide!!
Appreciate it!
Tip
velascoperroni if I were you I would just return the phone already. You might want to just accept defeat.
You screwed yourself by flashing a WM5 to a WM6.1 rom before flashing to a WM6. From what I read you must have been impatient or somehow your usb cord unplugged itself during the middle of a flash of the HTC WM6 1.33 rom. It's now stuck and a brick. I've read more posts like this than I can remember. The golden rule to modding is doing a backup before you do anything. Sprite mobile would have been the way to go. Especially with your not so easy to find original rom. I'm not trying to be harsh or mean but lesson learned. Now go return your phone while you still can.
Best regards...
NOOOOO!!!
I will never give up!!!
No, really, I'm seriously considering it... In fact there was a problem with the USB connection when I was flashing it!
Yeah, I should have backed up my original ROM, but to be honest, it never crossed my mind (I didn't even knew about it or how to)
Today I wen't to Movistar and they gave me several HTC service centers here in Mexico, I suposse they may have the original ROM and they may get it fixed but I'm afraid technichians here in Mexico won't have a clue (it has happened to me before that they have no clue and I know more than them for just what I read in the forums, i.e. xbox modding)
Also, I'm worried I voided my warranty... Today I told Movistar about nothing, I just asked for the service centers addresses. What could be a good excuse? "I was listening to music while bluethooting and playing solitarie and it went blank"?
Now, there may be one last way to go: You mentioned sprite mobile for backing up the original ROM, is it too intrusive and/or hard? I can get a hold of a friend's Movistar Excalibur to backup his ROM and use it on mine (it's exactly the same) but I don't wanna screw his phone up and end up with two bricks (specially because he really is a friend of a friend). Is there a tutorial around here? would you (or some other helpfull reader) post it on this thread?
Last but not least, I want to thank everyone that has tried to help, besides a bricked Excalibur I got great knowledge about CID, upgrading, flashing, phone carriers, etc. Three days ago I had no idea and I thought upgrading to WM6 would be a piece of cake! I hope all my posts and your answers would be helpfull for al noobs around with problems alike!
Nonetheless everything posted above: If someone has a 1.15.517.1 original ROM from Movistar or T-Mobile or O2... please, pleaaaase.. I BEG: send it to [email protected]
