Develop Bugs

AT&T shipped me a new 8525 w/ WM6

Here's something interesting that just happened to me today.
Brief story:
Last week I purchased a TyTn from a user here and when I got it, it had the screen alignment issue. Rather than fiddling with it, I just sold it as such.
So, I got a fairly good deal on a new 8525 from directly from AT&T. I just got it, powered it on and saw... WM6! Let me repeat, this was a direct purchase from AT&T. The version of WM6 on it is the same build found here, 17944.0.3.1. The radio on it is 1.48.00.00.
So, although the software on it is nothing new, I thought it would be something interesting to note that AT&T is shipping WM6 with their 8525s now... I guess.

I wonder when they're going to be posting the rom on the HTC website itself.

Very Interesting, call them and ask for support just to **** with them since I know ATT wont know what to do!

Now if they would just start shipping the kaisers we would be all set and has the two most powerfull phones on the market today!!
that is pretty interesting though since I think the AT-T rom out of the box had many bugs and issues. I know I spent a few hours getting the kinks out when I cooked up my custom AT-T rom. thanks for sharing though... as I say in my SA group

I assumed they would have posted the ROM before shipping devices with them myself.

Hehe. Would they even know WM6 is?

so have you flashed their bloat-ware ROM off of it yet?
haha

Well TB this is interesting, no? Is one thing to purchase a used Hermes on Ebay that has jj or faria's stamp on it but this is official....
And @austinsync regarding the official ROM, the biggest complaint with me and mine is the radio... that dawg just don't hunt here in So FLA. Taking everyone back to the 1.40. The basic ROM, bypassing the ext ROM, wasn't bad... vg3g did a bad ass job on cleaning it up, major kudos. Am finding the majority of my peoples' complaints due to the 1.48 radio.
Thanks TB for that update!

Yeah, I was pretty surprised. And I've only made a couple calls on it so far, but I have to say it's not bad. The call quality with 1.48 seems good.
@GldRush98, I'm definitely going to "upgrade" this thing today. But, I'm pretty impressed by the speed and stability of the ROM so far. I'll probably do a ROM dump before I flash something else on it. Just in case someone wants it... for whatever reason.

I would like to see if the same exact one as the rom that's on this forum so let me know when you dump it please.

LMFAO!! I would pay to hear the phone conversation.

I just got mine last week but it had WM5.... of course it doesn't now!!!!!

I'm getting a brand-new AT&T 8525 (probably tomorrow) to replace my current Cingular 8525 with loose stylus (long story but the refurb they sent was crap so I complained nicely...)
I'll be interested to see what OS comes on it now but I am thinking of selling it new-in-box to help pay for the Kaiser...

I bought an AT&T branded 8525 on 7-23-07. It came with WM5. And, the AT&T store where i bought had just received it that morning.

I suppose mine could have been some kind of anomaly, but a welcome one. It was still shipped in the newer AT&T box that listed the OS on the front as WM5 with the "Coming in 2007, Windows Mobile 6 Upgrade" bullet at the bottom.
But I suppose all this doesn't matter a whole lot for me. I've already loaded up my own custom ROM and didn't really take advantage of this good fortune.

Does it seem ANY different from the one posted in my thread Taurus?

Hey Madcap. I was without a phone at the time, so I never got to checking it out. I'll flash it in just a little bit and see if I can find any differences.

Ok, Let me know.. would be interesting if there are different features maybe.

Just checked it out, and it's identical to the one you posted. Same build, build date, etc. All the programs match up too. Nothing more or less in either, it appears.
Nice.

You're funny. If you like to tinker there's nothing better than WM. Did you put 6.1 on it?

no i havent just the the dash again today preloaded with wm6 but dont know cant find a offical tmobile US wm6.1 rom

There is no WM6.1 Official ROM Kavana's ROM is best you can flash

really that rom is that good?? no issues with it?? what version? ive been out of the loop with wm and dash due to my blackberry so any new tips and stuff would be great thanks again

Best ROM EVER, man .

Consider Kavana's 080314
Hey man,
Try the above mentioned Rom first before you switch...
Here's the link
http://www.mediafire.com/?g2itzm9ydmo

I've tried every ROM, every version. The Kanava 14 is the best IMHO. The only tweak you'll need is to make sure you use the right keyboard mapping file (search the kavana thread). Also, find the "PhoneKeyMatch Patch.reg" file. I installed it and it solved the only problem I had: being able to search contacts with z or a.
The ROM is really good.

ok so i found the zip file for the phonekeymatch patch. reg now where is the mapping file im using my dash on tmobile us network english of course also the kanava 080318 Final is the one i downloaded is this the right rom?

I had a Curve 8320. In less than a week, I was bored, unimpressed, and buying another Dash.
BB has crippled hardware, limited tweaks, too much control from service providers, and ugly fonts. Battery life is good, and so are google apps.

Call Me Da Cook

Hey, I am going to try to get my hands on the new 6.1 windows version and then from there I will try to cook something hopefully for the T mobile Dash (S621, excaliber). Just be patient ok.

Just out of curiousity, why are there currently no cooked roms for the dash/excal? I am just curious if it is a harder device to work with or if there just hasnt been any cooks interested.
Great to hear you will be working one one. I have a spare dash that I would be happy to rom test if you need some beta testing done at some point.

We must be patient for how much time?

It takes a lot of time and effort.........................and most important of all, IQ.

If it fixes the memory leak, it would be a huge improvement.

I helped my friend flash his 8525 with a cooked rom. I was so damn jealous of the customization of his rom. Everything was fixed, everything was setup. Just amazing.
I've flashed from T-Mo WM6 to HTC 1.27 then 1.33. It took hours and hours to get it to a good place. And I'm still always trying new stuff. Sucks...

Give me a day or two and I will have it up... I had it running on my dash for two hours and its perfect... and yes it fixes memory leaks... plus it includes threaded SMS (finally)...

I am with this ROM and I am with different (beautiful ) font

Help a new Mama (I really tried on my own)

After countless hours on this website and others, I still have not been able to find a place/way to get WM 6.0 or 6.1. I know it was limited release, but surely someone, somewhere has it? I had my baby in March and was severely ill for some time afterwards, so upgrading my At&T 8525 from WM 5.0 was pretty much the farthest thing from my mind. Hubby called AT&T, but they said it was on the website. I can't find a download anywhere.
My ultimate aim is to update the rom--first to WM 6.1 hopefully, and then play around with some of the cooked mods. I'd like the look of an iPhone. I've managed to unlock my phone using the cool SIM/CID software. Unfortunately, everything I do is thwarted by
1. Needing new .net (3.5 I guess, but I can't get it to work!)
2. Having the old 5.0
Alternatively, are there any cooked roms out there for 5.0? What should I do?
Thanks, very, very much. I've tried really hard, but I can't figure this out. (Yes, I've been to the HTC noob guide, etc.) I'm back at work now, and need my phone to be super awesome because I travel.

Here is your dot net framework.
and follow MRVANX guide on my signature.

God bless you, zocster! I'm downloading right now and hopefully will have a shiny almost-new phone. I was really considering an iPhone, but the 8525 is already paid for and does a good job syncing with Outlook at work.

aha.. I just recently dove back into HTC phones. I went outside the box for a little bit and took a stab at the Pantech Duo.. what a worthless piece of crap that thing is. Traded it and 100 bucks for a brand new in the box Tilt.. first 10 minutes of having the tilt I was hooked on HTC all over again. gosh I missed this place.

Im actually waiting on my friend to get me the dump of the X1 ROM he somehow got his hands on and see what I can't mooch off if it and release to the masses.. Right now I'm just back to the OEM AT&T Rom.. making my keyboard all slow... More trying to learn Wisbar all over again.. lol.. alot has changed in the 7 or 8 months I have been away!!

Sigh. I put the .net in my folder to sync. This after trying to sync all four and told no room.
Now I have the rainbow screen of death?

Easy to fix Adbeau .. just reflash to OEM rom... then start over.

Got a replacement ATT Tilt2 today

The difference so far has been beyond night and day.
This thing is still very cherry.
I am avoiding adding anything to it right now as I have previously posted that Tilt2 may be a dog.
Kind of thinking I was right.
I will be trying patiently, for a little bit, before I add many programs to it.
The performance within a few minutes of using has been astounding.
Also some interesting, unexpected surprises.
Any and all questions will be accepted.
WOW

I'm curious to hear any specifics on how the behavior of the new one is noticibly different than that of the first one you had...I'm particularly looking for connections/exclusions related to hardware and specific issues.
I'm assuming that your replacement came from the same path/source as the original one? What did you tell them to get them to give you a replacement unit? AT&T branded store, or reseller?
Thanks man, mostly just my hyperactive curiousity asking

Original purchased through WalMart Lets Talk on Black Friday. (free). hmm..
Equipment failed several times variously along voice audio path.
Replacement from ATT Ft. Worth TX
This thing is still very cherry. Only a couple hours usage.
Have only added MyPhone and contacts from MyPhone Backup.
Opera 9.5 experience has been unusual to me in that it recognized my email profile without any input from me other than inserting sim card and opening Opera 9.5 and selecting mail from ATT Yahoo default web page.
All browsing within Yahoo mail has been very quick.
Not my prior experience, which was very slow to refresh/update.

I was just trying to figure out which of the issues you originally had could be attributed to hardware pretty much...but between those, the sound problem you just mentioned, and your considerably improved experience with the new one, it's clear you just had a bum unit all around.

Cherry is a fruit, quite delicious to taste, spoils quickly, if not gathered and consumed soon.
Meaning that no software other than default is installed.
Default test module or whatever you want to call it.
Out of the box unmodified other to install MyPhone so I could make some calls.
In the American English idiom, untouched. Virgin.
Working very well.
Windows Mobile ATT most recent stock ROM as far as I can tell.
If you have a question about operation or state of ROM, please ask.
As the cherry my offer won't last long.
Did you read the beginning of the post?
(I can see why some of you older guys get tired with us cherries, we don't last long)
