AT&T shipped me a new 8525 w/ WM6 - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

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.

Hi all,
Does anyone have this version in English somewhere ?
http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=34470&st=1590#entry806455
Thanks
he said he might have it sometime this weekend!
HOW ABOUT if it includes the the new build of the microsoft voice command!

To be fair, he said "next weekend" so I am not if it will be this weekend or next weekend. At least he said he would do it. I was so dissapointed when he said he was not going to. I am so glad he changed his mind because I believe his are the best releases - without peer.
Lvsw - The Best!!!!
I absolutely agree with you!!!
I tried many different ROM and always went back to this one.
I second your observation.
LVSW is the best WM6 for any Hermes. Test them all, but always always revert back to LVSW. It is stable, fast and not filled with software I would never use. If I want extra, I will get myself..knowing if software behave badly it is not LVSW, but the addition...which I alway delete immediately.

So far I am agreeing with you guys, LVSW so far is the best one. I am rather new in this and just recently started flashing my phone, my first one was the Black Shadow 4.
This rom looks really nice, but kept freezing and crashing, I had to soft reset the phone most times....
After reading more in the forums, decided to try for the LVSW rom....
And so far I am happy with one, it has not crashed or anything of the sort yet.
Good one.... I would recommend
Although I think I may well become addicted to all this flashing and try out more roms....
i had contacted with LVSW some time ago and he replied that most probably he will not do it in WWE
i was really hoping he will do it, tho...

Since he recanted his original statement that he would not release, saying he would do it "next weekend", we are all anticipating a great release. I, for one, am very anxious to get my hands on it.
He said in a posting here he may in the coming weeks.

T-Mobile UK Goes WM6 Official

This is probably well known by now but I've had a quick scan and can't see it mentioned anywhere on this forum but T-Mo UK have gone all official and published the WM6 update on their site.
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/
I'm downloading it now so I don't have any details of what's in it or what versions everything is...but I will shortly
Cheers,
Smiffy.
..and finally for all those needing it, the original Tmobile UK WM5 Shipping ROM
About time too. Downloading, may try it but I am pretty happy with Schaps rom these days.....
Good news, please provide more info about the ROM when you get a chance...thx
anyone going to rip the radio out of this one and make it available for everyone else?
im assuming it should have some enhancements as its newer?
Working UK T-Mobile WM6
Works a treat, has all the basic ROM functions you expect with the Vario II.
ROM 3.60.110.4 Radio 1.50.00.00
Storage 38.89MB free Program 28.52MB free
X-button 1.0, Office 2k3, Internet sharing, blah-blah-blah.... So far so good.
Keep trying this update and keep getting Error 260, basically saying phone not connected. Have updated to Hardspl etc and all that worked, any ideas?

Been around for a while now clicky
T-Mobile...is it?
Sorry if this has been flagged but has anyone heard from T-Mobile UK to say if this "Official"? Everytime i e-mail them they give the same silly response saying "WM6 will not be available for the MDA Vario 2"

Thanks, that was a most useful post. I'd never seen it before you know. Totally passed me by.
The link I posted, however, takes you to the genuine T-Mobile website for downloading updates not a "stumbled-upon" HTC page, which means...
A) There is a link to the original WM5 ROM from T-Mob; and
b) People can see it is genuine and approved by T-Mobile as it is posted on their official update site.
Still, got your post count up a bit eh?
Smiffy.
THANKYOU!
to the person that pointed out this has been arround for a while... That is true (Ive been running it now for a few months)
HOWEVER this is FANTASTIC news in terms of no longer fearing that i will void my warentee if i upgrade to WM06.
time to update my sister and dad's varioII also.
Yes, this is the official TMUK downloads page. I work for TMUK and this is the site we are directed to when customers ask about updates for WM phones.
Hi all,
I've just put this build on my phone - thought I was going to have to get it replaced under warranty, but that's another story.
Anyway, you can find this build of software by navigating through the official T-Mobile UK web site, so it is official.
If you go to this link: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/phone-support/software-updates/
You'll see a link for MDA/SDA series devices, and this takes you to the site mentioned in the original post.
Also I had someone in a T-Mobile store check my phone out today, and they didn't make any comments regarding flashing. And I've had a few builds of radio and WM6 on the phone in the past few months!
The build looks pretty good so far - it seems very speedy compared to previous builds I've had on my phone, but then I haven't re-installed everything yet...

Not sure. If you want the file click below.

It's worth having IMHO.... simple, works perfectly and supported. Not as quick as some of the fine ROMs in this forum, not as sexy neither, but you can go mod happy after you've given it a go...
Good luck,
Andy
WinMo6 NOT supported by T-Mobile Uk
HI there
I recently upgraded to WinMo6 off the T Mobile site and while it seems better than WinMo5 on the my Vario II, I had a couple of problems.
First, my screen goes white when I plug it into my car kit, something that never happened in WinMo5.
Secondly, Terminal Services Client has been removed. I have got Remote desktop from Xda developers but it still has problems.
So I thought I would contact T-Mobile to see if they have an official version of Remote Desktop and if they could help with the screen white thing.
After 5 mins of speaking to the CS, they finally realised it was a Vario and quickly passed me to Tech Support. I then had an interesting conversation with one of the girls there. She first implied that the upgrade was not official and T-Mobile UK have not released an upgrade. Then after that she then said that WinMo6 is NOT supported by T-Mobile. I told her that T-Mobile sell devices with WinMo6 installed and she said that on those devices T-Mobile only limited support them.
I left it at that and rang back to speak to a supervisor. The person I talked to was a bit more helpful. He said that the upgrade was actually released by mistake and there is talks within T-Mobile to pull the upgrade down to problems with stabilty in WinMo6!!! He said I should downgrade back to WinMo5 so the phone would be supported again!!
Personally, I think this is shocking on the part of T-Mobile. To release software with no support at all is bad. There is no disclaimer or statement saying that if you upgrade your phone will not be supported. Also after speaking to Tech Support a few times now and also to staff at T-Mobile Retail, the standard line of repair for faults on WinMo devices is a hard reset.
After all this, I'm wondering if it's just better to install a Unofficial ROM from someone who has spent time and effort to get the best out of an otherwise great phone and just downgrade for warranty purposes.

I dont know what t-mobiles stance is right now all i know just about is that WM6 isnt suppost to be supported on WM5 devices and that they were suppost to stay on WM5 untill they became end of life (EOL) on t-mobile, however i dont seem to have any issues with my Vario 2 on WM6 (was funny to see people reactions when i was messing with touch cube) Tech should already be trained on WM6 for MDA touch and vario 3 any how and it shouldnt be much different from WM5 any how (at least i think so) and dont bother talking to a retail store about anything that runs windows.... they will be like a chimpansee with parkinsons.

I agree, I updated mine to the official TMob WM6, as I needed to return for repair a faulty front button. I was speaking to a guy in technical and found he had the same phone. I mentioned I had upgraded to WM6; "Its not official, you have just voided your warranty!" I explained that it had come from the T-Mobile UK site; but he said the actual download was from the .com site. So it was not official.
Anyway, went down to T-Mobile store and booked in for repair. On the form I signed it even said its T-Mobile policy to upgrade all phones to latest version, so back your data up!!
They need to get their act together!
I upgraded to wm6 about a month back... all worked well the phone was a replacement about 3 months old. Then about a week ago the screen seemed to die after about 3 min after a hard reset. SO i sent it off and now have another new replacement. I am not sure if this was due in some way to WM6. Anyhow should i upgrade again.. i want touch cube can this be dome on wm5?

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.

sprint diamond question

I am planning on purchasing a sprint diamond in a week. can I flash roms even though it is cmda,not hsdpa? i was not sure since it appears my hermes only has flashing for att usa and t-mobile gsm carriers.
no response
Just wanted to see if anyone had an answer on this one? I may end up holding off on the Sprint Diamond if I cant modify it? Just wanted to know if the Diamond needs to be a gsm rather than cmda to flash the roms here on this site.
Im also very interested im thinking that it will have to be separate roms but if some one could set me straight that would be good
well
it appears no one knows the answer to our question. my guess is you cannot flash roms unless they are cmda versons. I think I will ask the same question in the Hermes section since they respond when asked a question. looking forward to getting a diamond of tpro.

Sorry for the question. I just didnt want to buy the cmda version if i couldn't modify it. with this info, I think I would be better off waiting for gsm version in the states although it seems the touchpro is coming to att soon. it sucks that only sprint and verizon are carrying the diamond except for a 700.00dollar unlocked hsdpa version at best buy but no way I am paying that for a phone. anyway, thanks again for the assistance. Have a good day.
There are CDMA ROMs starting to show up now. I just released a relatively stable one a few days ago.

New Rom needed
Ok I have a sprint Diamond for a week now and I cannot stand the sprint Rom.
It is so slow, locks up, drives me nuts.
I love the phone and all it has to offer but I need it to run better, stronger, faster.
What ROM will work with a SPRINT CDMA Diamond?
Juicy CDMA rom appears to me, to be very stable. 2.2 is very nice, and he is planning a release of 2.4 any time now.

I love the phone so far. It's definitely the best one Sprint has had in a while.
The network is fast. Battery seems to last as expected.
Might have to get mine replaced though, one of the LED lights on the scroll wheel seems to be completely off- just a factory defect.
Much nicer than the touch.
Can't seem to figure out the latest radio version for it though.
apreciate it!

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.

Other than default profile, I will be very reluctant to explore very far from there.
So, is it very cherry?

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. Thanks for the feedback though

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)
