The Cingular 8525 is the HTC Hermes aka the HTC TyTN.
If you read the threads in the HTC Hermes section, you'll find everything you need to know about the ROMs available for your phone and links as to where to find them.
The ROMs contain the Operating System, aka WM5 or WM6 that you are looking for.
But -- first and foremost -- READ, READ, READ.

HTC Tytn, HTC Hermes, and cingular 8525 is the same phone. Just some cosmetic differences (except the front camera for video calling)... this is not the same as the wizard, that is a different phone.

There are several different versions of the WM6 for the phone you have, just look in the hermes WM6 thread.

If you have the software in the form of a cab file then just transfer the file to your phone, use the file explorer in your phone to locate the new cab and tick on it to install it.

Hi guys, I understand all the roms were taken off this site but I need some help.
I bought the HTC excalibur today and it has a test rom on it. as a result I cannot use wifi as it says driver is not found. Where can I find the latest htc excalibur rom.
check in my sig
your device may not have the hardware. The test ROM on my device had no problems with WiFi but some devices have been sold without the hardware and the firmware that has the WiFi drivers makes no difference.
Just a possibility...

bgniko, you're are AWESOME! I must have spent in excess of 4 hours looking around the Internet for different ROMs to use with my T-Mobile Dash, and you really helped me out. Thanks!
P.S. If you happen to find the Dopod C720W ROM (looking for it for the Traditional Chinese support), please let me know. It's not available on Dopod Taiwan's member only site... yet.
Hi!
I have a Softbank (HTC Tytn) with Windows mobile 5 in Japonese.
But I'd like to upgrade this OS to Windows mobile 6 in English.
Where can I download the Windows mobile 6? And how can I install this OS?

Please read, then post in the appropriate section. Did I mention to read first?
Anyhow, start here. (these instructions will allow you to install Windows Mobile 6 on your device)
Then go here to learn about all the different versions of Windows Mobile 6.
IMPORTANT: DON'T ASK WHICH VERSION IS THE BEST. READ WHAT OTHERS HAVE SAID ABOUT THEM IN THEIR RESPECTIVE THREADS AND DECIDE FOR YOURSELF.
Be sure to read all you can in the Hermes forums so that you don't accidently "brick" or destroy your phone. The processes to upgrade are quite easy, but you must follow all the instructions given very carefully.
Check out the WIKI too. It has a wealth of info for you and your device.
Have fun and read, read, read!
P.S. Thread moved.

Try looking HERE
read read read
and then read some more. TyTn's are not cheap, if you don't want to have to shell out big bucks for a new one, or for a repair by HTC make sure you've read most of the threads on here about upgrading. Don't use the built in search, it's not very good, use a google search with "site:xda-developers.com".
Also, mrvanx's guides (google for mrvanx, first result) are good for newbies (it's what I used for my first flash) and takes you through HardSPL install (to act as insurance against bad flashes bricking your device).
Finally, if you don't want to bother reading then my only advice is to not risk upgrading and enjoy being stuck with a WM5 Japanese device

Now that the official WM6 upgrade has been released for the D810, does anyone have any updated information as to whether it will be released for the P3600 and if so, what time frame?
I don't believe HTC has agreed to release it. Why don't you just flash hard-spl and a nospl version of it posted here?

I'm just being cautious. I'm on T-Mobile USA and developed SMS sending problems with the official WWE GPS upgrade, so I'm now hesitant to try a ROM not intended for my P3600. Perhaps if someone on T-Mobile USA has successfully used the D810 WM6 ROM, I'd be willing to take a chance. I sure would like HTML capable email!
Their excuse...
Hello Sir,
The network partner from HTC did not request the upgrade for the Windows mobile 6 for the P3600, that's why unfortunately the HTC P3600 will not have this upgrade.
Thank you for your enquiry, Should you have any other problem, please do not hesitate to call us. Your Local number can be found at http://www.europe.htc.com/support/csbyphone.html

You just need a setup cab file for t-mobile's settings here in the US. I'm on cingular so I don't have one off hand, but let me search for ya...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=42298&d=1182761296
I think that's what you'll need... And of course you can always flash back to your original wm5 rom if needed...

Thank you, but all the settings are correct and everthing else (MMS, EMail, Internet, etc) works. The only setting I've found for SMS is the Service Center Number and that's correct. Receiving SMS works and sending works from some some areas - just not where I live.
So installing hard SPL and then flashing the non SPL ROM is all that's required to update to the D810 WM6 upgrade?
Yes, however after reading some of the posts here I question if the non-spl roms posted are in fact, non-spl roms. I will make a proper safe version of this update to flash when I get home in about an hour or so and post it up...
There are 2 others posted, but I don't know that they are safe as there were actually two spl's in the release and it's possible the posters only removed 1.

Thank you, that would be nice for all those P3600 owners that are getting into flashing trouble.

Did anyone make a safe WM6 upgrade for p3600 yet?

Hi there. I'm new to I-mate and I have no idea about ROMs, HTC and everything. I was reading through all posts and most links were not working.
Basically, my version of I-mate is 1.30.76 WWE and I want to update it to Windows Mobile 6. Is it possible to do this?
I tried going on the club I-mate website but I think they might be having some technical difficulties. Its not opening.
Can someone please give me step by step instructions as to how I can update my I-mate to a much better version or operating system.
Make sure your ROM unlocked. Remove SD Card. Put Uni into bootloader mode. Run upgrade app you've downloaded. Full instructions on Wiki (which is down at the moment).

Also, when is the Wiki site re-opening?
Thanks alot.

Thank you guys so much! I managed to update my I-mate to WM6.1 following your signature links. Its quite impressive but I was wondering, is it possible to upgrade my Ram? Its currently 64MB. Could I increase it to 128MB or higher?
And also, are there WM6.5 for 64MB I-mates?
Glad to know it helped
-Have a look on Universal section, there are some places where you can upgrade your RAM.
And yes Tomal v10 is WM6.5 and works on 64Mb Uni´s

Thanks! You've been of great help. I checked Tomal's v10 but the link to download is not working . Do you know of any links he has put up that work?
Oh never mind. I have found it. Thanks a lot you guys. You are the best! I'll start making my own roms and if I am successful, I will post them on this website. I-mate, Universal...... etc rock!
Shame they went bust.
Have a great day .
