WM6 Running on HTC!

Has anyone figured it out? What would it take to get WM6 running on our HTC's? Is it just a mater of getting the OS from Microsoft and upgrade or is it a custom rom specifically made for our Hermes?

The title of this thread is VERY misleading. I was almost excited!

There is a photo on the official WM6 page from Microsoft with Crossbow running on what looks to be a Tytn.

Your picture too

Here is an article with a couple videos of Windows Mobile 6. One video shows Windows Mobile 6 in action and the other shows different devices with Windows Mobile 6 installed. Three of the devices are from HTC. They highlight a HTC Typhoon, a HTC Excalibur, and what looks like an HTC Herald. I just hope that the Windows Mobile 6 version has 3G.

No kidding I almost p'd my pants.

Bad Bad title.
the good old forum search for WM6 would have turned up plenty of reading on this topic.

lol So i see i got all of your attention, i guess its misleading because there's no "?" at the end and thats the whole point of my topic
But the fact of the matter is still not answered, i know there's lots of topics on WM6 but nothing as far as our Hermes so now that i got your attention can we put our head together and figure something out because if we wait for HTC to come up with something our phones most likely die out before we can get anything out of them.....

Be careful what you wish for. My old Dell Axim X50v came with Windows Mobile 2003SE on it.. everybody clammored for WM5 once it came out. Once we got the upgrade, it was a terrible upgrade with the MS BT stack, and a bunch of apps that previously worked, that now didn't... a LOT of the aximsite members went back to 2003SE.
By the way, the stickied thread about cooked ROMs has a large amount of discussion about WM6 (crossbow) already.

hahaha thanks for the teasing

Bimboy i am aware of the x50's and those upgrades, i owned one before i got the x51v and i am a member of aximsite as well but if you did some reading in to that x50 problem you would have noticed that they cant compare the x50 upgrade to WM5 as what would it take to update the x51v to WM6 as is not the same comparison and OS systems.... and WM5 is not much different then WM6 as what Mobile 2003 was to WM5.....
Also in the end read on how many guys are still enjoying their x50's with WM5 on them as well...So i think the HTC is very likely able to handled WM6 in the end.

I like wm6

@spirit: I see in another thread you got WM6 AND won an 8525? Lucky dog! I didn't get your comment in that post, though - something like "I guess WM6 is useless now?"
In the post above you write that you like WM6. You got it on your 8525?

wm6 Rom Dell Axim x51 (not v)? Will there be?

Hi. I follow the threads about wm6 for Dell Axim x51v, and I'm looking forward to seeing a ROM for x51 (notv), but unfortuately nobody seems to be interested Is it possible to have a wm6 rom for x51? Thanks.

I just think it's possible, but the matter is whether there's someone interested in the porting project. The same used-to-be-hopeless thing was the situation of the users using BA. Now they're happy with the new WM6, arent they?
PS: Keep on feeding your hope man, the day is not so long to come.

Hey guys i'm also interested in WM6 using an AXIM X51 (without the 'v')
I would be really greatful to the guy, who would port a WM6 ROM for it.

X51
I too have been hoping and waiting in vain for a WM6 rom for the X51. Since I saw a few released for the X51v I have been on pins and needles assuming that a X51 rom would be not far behind. If I could do it myself, I would, but I can't, so I wait. :\

While you're at it, you could make a WM6 rom for X50(mid) or a better WM5 rom. I would be able to do it if I only knew what tools were needed.

i think it's a good idea
I would also like to have the wm6 version for x51 (not v).
I think wm5 is too poor

Small bump , any update on installing wm 6 on DELL X51 ????

is it even possible?
Will this ever come? ;-;

Lenny tried to cook up something, but I haven't looked into it very much.

Ash

Add me to the list of people who would love to be able to get a version of this ROM for the X51.

I cant seem to find what i am looking for

I was told by a good friend from Brighthand.com that i may be able to find a unofficial WM2003SE rom here for my Dell Axim X3i. I am really happy about this becuase it brings back hope to my device. If anyone can guide me to where to go/look or if you have a direct link that would be cool too but i am willing to serch a little bit tonight! I am at school at the moment but when i get home later i will be looking forward to an update on this post
Thank you so much guys!
I am really looking forward to WM2003SE on my Axim x3i!!!

hello again
I have been looking all night since i got home... i cant seem to find anything on this at all... there is a lot of x50/51v stuff but not any x3/i things
Is there actualy a WM2003SE ROM that i will find or has there not been one that has been tweeked to run on the x3i
I do see that this is a HTC site so i am sorry for bothering everyoine but i am still really excited knowing that there could be something for me!

Start playing with WM5, or upgrade to WM6 first?

I recently purchased an AT&T 8525 and am interested in upgrading it a bit.
I don't really want to do anything extravagant with it (yet). I was planning on using Battery Status, HTC Home, and possibly HHC to start with. If all goes well, I may continue to pimp out my 8525 a bit more after.
I guess my question is more of a matter of opinion, but here it goes:
I was wondering if you guys thought it would be more wise to keep WM5 and start using these files (maybe because they are more stable w/ this OS, or because there is a wider selection, I'm not sure)...
OR
Maybe I should just go ahead and upgrade to WM6 and work with the more recent versions of the programs I was looking for on my phone.
I apologize in advance for my noobness!

Read, read and read.
Once you have read, and you know what you are doing, then go straight for WM6. WM5 is slow.

agovinoveritas is right.
Moreover,
if you are really new to Windows Mobile devices,
I suggest you to stay with the WM5 and study / feel it first.
Then you may find WM6 how tasty it is. ^_^
enjoy~~ ^_^

I bought my imate jasjam in October 2006 and used WM5 for about 8 months then I got bored of it. May be it is better to play with WM5 first and when you are going for the upgrade. Try to get the original ROM handy with you. But remember upgrading need some wise thinking and reading. So no more noobness while doing so.

that is what everybody has done before upgrading.
Radio Rom is major factor on upgrading or downgrading but apart all HARD-SPL. Read about it or better use Mr.Vanx guide at

Upgrading to WM6 on the Dell Axim x50v?

After asking this question elsewhere I have been advised to seek expert advice on your forum.
I have a couple of Dell Axim x50v units. One is running WM2003SE A04 and the other is running A05. Although they work OK, I have been thinking of buying something new that will run WM6. I was then advised to seek help within this forum.
I have never upgraded a x50v before, so really need help from the ground up. I understand I can use WM6 on this device, but how well will it run compared to the existing o/s?
Would you guys recommend an upgrade, or would I be better selling and buying something newer? I really like the Dell Axim x50v and have had it over four years. Advice or recommendations for a suitable WM6 ROM woud be very welcome.
Please bear in mind I am a complete novice regarding upgrading an Axim so any help with the software I need and any pitfalls I am likely to fall into, I would appreciate immensely.
Also, Is the x50v capable of running WM6 successfully and at reasonable speed?
Thanks again, Tony

I could really use some help on this one guys. I have been reading this thread... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=593539 and I still don't know where to start. It all seems so confusing and being new, I dont want to brick the Axim.
Do I need to buy WM 5.0 from Dell before I can use any of the roms listed in the above thread?
I will check back later.
Thanks
Tony
