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.

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

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.

Umm...there's this user named Mikey1022 who has both of the Windows Mobile ROMs you're looking for in his signature. Just search for him. He should have posts scattered throughout the Excalibur forum. **DISCLAIMER** Beware attempting to use Windows Mobile 6.1 from this forum. It's a "cooked" ROM (meaning it was developed by an amateur developer and not Microsoft). Installing (or 'flashing' as we call it) is a bit trickier with cooked ROMs. There are, however, numerous threads which have detailed instructions on how to flash the 6.1 ROM. Microsoft has released an official Windows Mobile 6.1 ROM to the public, but the Dash/Excalibur has yet to receive it (which is one of the reasons why we've been using the cooked version).
am i the only one that gets irritated when someone comes on here to ask a question like this when the answer is literaly the next post down?
let me guess. your next questions is "can you make me a step by step of flashing wm6.1 so i dont brick my new phone?"
No you're not!
Take a look at my last comment on this page
Can you tell, it is getting stupid and aggravating

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).

Do you please know when Wiki will open in order for me to update my i-mate jasjar. Otherwise, does anyone have a step by step guide to how to update it.
Would I be able to get Windows Mobile 6 on the i-mate jasjar?
Here is xda-developers wiki(from 2008) from archive.org http://web.archive.org/web/20080521015347/wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Universal

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 .
looking forward to see your ROM!
Hello! Everyone,
I am desperately need some help. It's almost six months since I read about flashing custom roms and until now I can't find the courage to do it. For I don't muster enough knowledge (I think) in doing it.
I have an HTC Universal running in wm5. I want to flash it into wm 6.5. Is there some body who can forward me the suitable ROM and help me in the process of upgrading it? I really want to flash it to WM 6.5 so I can install cool looking GUI of e book reader in my device and some more eye candy stuffs.
Thanks in advance!
Hi,
Have a look on my signature link, you´ll find all you need to upgrade.
Hello, Orb!
Hello! Orb,
It would really help me if you can point out what are the preliminary things I need to do than saying click your signature.
That is really what you did last time I ask about how to upgrade my Unit. Until now It gave me no confidence because I don't know where will I begin. I hope you can re consider helping me out. Thanks!
read, Search, Respect and Enjoy!
I can tell you that the only way you´ll get to flash is to read a lot, we all started same as you, first of all loose the fear, if you follow the instructions all will be fine.
Said that you need to read my signature link, try looking in there for:
Instruction Guide For The Htc Universal Rom Upgrading
It was not so hard, isn't´it?
Good luck,
At least tell me the benefits of flashing ROM? Why will I flash my Device from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6?
Thank you so much!
More than benefits it´s an addiction for some of us
And of course you also have benefits, better, newer versions and so on
Nothing else I can´t say if you don´t flash
Good luck!
Hello! Orb,
I hope everything is fine at your end.
Regarding the upgrading/flashing of my device. What are the things that one could get if he/she flashed her device? In other words why would someone wants to upgrade his/her device?
What I mean by this question is, is there any reason why would a dopod 900 user like me would want to upgrade from windows mobile 5 to windows mobile 6.1? What are the things that I can do if I will upgrade?
Yes I think there would be some nice applications that can only be installed in Windows Mobile 6.1 or Windows Mobile 6.5 however, if I just install a program that would do a make over of my GUI, SPB mobile shell for instance, everything will be like the same even if it has different Versions of Windows Mobile for I am using the same alternative shell for my device as a GUI.
Any insights? or word of wisdom that could enlightened me? Thank you so much!
