Hello All,
I am Krishna. Recently i bought Cingular 8525 Unlocked. I want to use it in India. Now i am in LA.
I am confused with my device. I am new to Pocket PC. In some sites i read it as HTC Tytn, in some sites it is HTC Hermes. Can you plz explain actually what it is? Also
- Is it same as HTC Wizard?
- The OS is Windows Mobile 5. Now windows Mobile 6 is available. Can i upgrade my device to Windows Mobile 6? Is it compatible with WM6? If yes, can you plz provide the link of that information. and how to upgrade to WM6.
- Plz help me to install new softwares, applications,games in that.
- Also i am confused with the term ROMs. How can I use that? i downloaded some softwares using torrent sites. But i dont know how to install them.
Please help me in this regard. In two weeks i am leaving to India. Before going there, i want to make my device upto-date with latest softwares.
Actually i don't know whether I can posted this thread here or not. If this is not the right place to post, plz advice where to post.
Thanks in Advance.

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.

The good start is to check the Wiki, it has step by step instructions on flashing. However, I have to warn you that if you have a 64Mb device, WM6.5 is not such an amazing idea, simply due to memory constraints, so give it a thought before you begin, there are great WM6.1 ROMs available for upgrade, give them a go, you'll be pleasantly surprised.
