Upgrade please!!!
Yes I agree! Please someone (Football HELP...) develop an upgrade for this WM device, hopefully WM6.1, it's really cool but WM5 is so outdated since WM7 is in development now.

It's cool. We've all been here before. I would say that the benefits of 6.1 definitely outweighed any concerns I had with flashing. I grew sick of hearing about all the advances that everyone else experienced with 6.1--while I was still using 6.0! You won't be disappointed!
FYI... PLEASE read the stickies located at the top of the Excalibur page. They'll be extremely helpful concerning any questions you may have. Just read through the posts in the various threads and 98% of your future questions will be answered.
P.S. Yes, the Excalibur and the Dash are the same device.
alright guys thanks or the encouragement. UPGRADE here i come. (deep breath as i dive in) thanks again

yep , the bad part of flashing is reinstalling all your apps , wallpaper ,etc.
But 6.1 is worth every bit of it

I agree with you it is worth so much... Kinda sucks to redo everything but hey it overcomes all that because 6.1 is so sick...
What would happen if I attempted to download (from htc) and install the windows mobile 6.1 update for the tilt on my 8525? I am currently running SPL-2.10.Olipro.. do you thing it would brick the phone? I mean why wouldn't it work? The tilt is a 400mhz process same as the 8525.. only added features on the tilt is the GPS and auto focus camera...Any thoughts? yes I am a noob.

you are welcome to be the first one to try! such old questions that has been answered many many times.
i am not talking about cooked versions.. I am talking about OEM. I rather not be the first one to try but technically what would happen?
first of all the RAM and ROM size is different, it will turn your hermes to a brick ... but again, you're more than welcome to be the first one to try.
well then that is all I needed to know. That is the reason why I can not do it.. cause the ram and the rom size is different. Thank You.
You wont be able to install it. But if you would like to brick your hermes, then go ahead and try it and let us know
GOD DAMN!!! Congrats Men!
The most inspirated question i have heard I come from wizard threads and letme tell you...
The RUU original will tell you ERROR (XXXX) Wrong device or wrong ID or wrong ROM Update Utility
God Damn!!! but if you try to extract the NBF from the exe with winrar...
maybe it's named Ruu_signed.nbf for Hermes... or its calle NK.nbf as in Wizard or maybe is called Dont_extract_me_fool.nbf
Maybe yopu can rename it to RUU Signed.nbf and put it on RUU Wrapper and run it!!!
I know a guy that has an Universal and flash a Custom rom for Wizard on its...
OBVIOUSLY it is bricked!!!! a blank screen only! no Bootloader no hardreset.
So... answered bye

I know that this has been answered--NO but I thought you might like to know a bit more.
1--The hermes uses a completely different chipset and video set up.
2--the ROM and RAM sizes are completely different. The tilt has more than two times the amount that the hermes has
3--The Hermes is a single processor device running a 400Mhz as you stated but the tilt is a dual processor device --one running the os and the other handling the calls to hardware such as the radio and gps.
4--The devices take completely different drivers. You should have researched the specs before asking this type of question.
Finally, winmobile is not like xp. It is not built to handle any hardware you through at it. It is very customized for the hardware on which it is installed. It has to be to fit in the small storage on these devices.
There are 6.1 versions of cooked roms already for the hermes. just use one of those! Better yet, don't ever flash your device because ...well I am sure you can figure out the rest of that sentence!
Tilt is very old phone...
Tilt rom!? such a old phone. Why would you install old phone rom on your nice hermes? Try some new rom ... I know, why don't you try the Diamond rom? I like that one . let us know how it works... Hey, and welcome to XDA forum... allways good to have a another new cook.
I bet you're glad you asked now
Welcome to the ever friendly world of XDA!!!

Or a n00b asking to a n00b...
Tilt is an old phone? I think that he wants to say... hermes is better than tilt.... then I understands that he agree to the other n00b to flash even a Diamond ROM... does I am wrong, well I understand that...

Enjoy your fantastic and fabulous thread.... n00bs!!!
I think he wants an original 6.1 on his hermes... thats all... but men why dont you read there is a thread with this question.
I think we all got our noob bashing off our chest and I think the OP has got the message its not a good idea. How bout we drop this pointless thread now.....
Another noob here
I realize that y'all become impatient and annoyed with noobs, but this very question is what led me to this site in the first place. I apologize that I'm just a concerned and inexperienced consumer trying to gain knowledge from the best source I can find online, and that I haven't really mastered searching this site as well as everyone else to find the answers to my dilemma.
I have an AT&T 8525 and HTC told me that they aren't going to do any more updates, and also, no, I can't download the Tilt ROM onto my phone. In fact, they planned to pull the WM 6 ROMs off their site on October 31. I just rechecked the HTC site this evening, and they've removed *all* updates for the 8525 from the page I used to visit. So if I brick my phone by doing some silly noob thing, I can't even go back and get the old WM 6.0 ROM.
I've already had the opportunity to see the new AT&T Fuze since it hit the stores yesterday, but I'm wary of buying it the minute it comes out. I would prefer to lurk for a while and see what the rest of y'all have to say in the Raphael forums before I spend the money.
Please be charitable to people like me who are just trying to be cautious. I love the phone I have because it's been very reliable, but yet it's obvious that there is a "planned obsolescence" for the 8525. Meanwhile, I'm just looking here for something I can do to get WM 6.1 for my 8525 until I'm satisfied that they've gotten the bugs out of the Fuze. I think there's still plenty of life left in my 8525 and you might say I just want to renew my love affair with it.
OK, noob rant over..thanks for your consideration!
Step 1... Install Hard SPL V7 onto your 8525. It helps recover your Hermes if it does go south while doing the update.
Step 2... Look at the WM06 section of the forum. Just about ALL the roms displayed there at the moment are Wm6.1. Read the Chefs writeup about their ROM and see if you like it.
If you did a search with the keywords "Hermes roms" it may have led you back to the original stock ROMs and cooked ROMs. These are pretty old now though.
Cheers...
It doesn't hurt to actually get your own library of ROMs, I made sure I have my stock Telstra rom stored on my hard drive. Since you knew that the stock ROM you use was about to be pulled you should've downloaded it so if something does go wrong you actually have it and don't remain victim to HTC's will. Now it may be harder to find the stock rom you use...
Hey there all just wondering about this rom, i know its been posted before but i think its worthy of talking about again, this is just wondering a Beta the copy out there isn't it ?, anyone know the direct link to getting it on our S620 S621's, and want to explain things about this rom, i thought i read though the 6.5 has been deleted off of here ?
if you'd like to check this ad out go to www.craigslist.ca make sure your looking in Toronto.
No 6.5 for Excalibur so save your money. If it would be anywhere it would be here.
First off the beta version of 6.5 rom that was on the forum was for a different device and yes they removed all links and download mirrors for it. Who else you would thing whould have it but us? Microsoft got wind that we had unofficial and unlicensed copies if it , and the moderators took it out.
1. this was the thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=474869
2. This is what it looked like http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3214841&postcount=1
This guy seem's to say he has a working copy on his phone, maybe i can get the rom off of him or see what he says how he got it working on his dash.
Unbranded Microsoft Verson won from microsoft conference HTC S621 Pro Kavana 6.1 made in Taiwan Overclocked to 288Mhz Stable.
It's rubbish if he had WM6.5 then he'd be showing screenes as be well proud and if it was anywhere would be here.
roloracer:
Thought you might like to see this Important notice to all Chef's and users regarding the 6.5 rom removal Hoax
XDA still looking into it "they need to make sure", but if you look you will see why suspicious.

I see that man, It's messed up that some pr*ck could dissrupt our development like that That James Young guy being a hoax even though is messed up and is pissing off a lot of people, is a good thing 'cause no legal problems will come to xda for having it and hopefully soon enough maybe we'll get the go ahead to work on the 6.5 again, and maybe we'll see it around here for the dash
We'll the guy never wrote me back maybe he sold it or knows me from here lol wonder if he had 6.5 running, wonder.

It was earlier Kavana's WM 6.1, then 3VO series ROM. WM 6.5 ...

Maybe we should ask the extremely talented chefs we have in this forum (ookba, Alekss and many others) and see if they are thinking in bringing a new rom to the table.
They won´t tell you what´s next...
They will simply make it available to all of us when "what´s next" is ready
Let´s support them and XDA with a small donation!
I´ll stay with WM for now...
Android! Android! Android!
wishful thinking
Android really could happen: there are a lot of good people trying to get it going on OMAP 850 devices. Please, if you think you can help in any way, check out Wing-linux https://sourceforge.net/apps/trac/wing-linux/wiki, things really are getting closer
android or winmo7?
android still need the missing drivers. however found a website news bout winmo7 that microsoft developers are using devices such touch pro, touch HD and Tmobile dash as a test beds for the new OS. just dont sure if the info from that site is reliable. but theres a screenshot of the dash running wm7 i guess.
well guys in moving onto the android software and will port over anything needed.
I'm going to buy the S620 in a few days and I have a couple of questions. So, what better place to ask then here.
The phone has the original WM5.0 on it, and I want to upgrade to 6.5. Should I? A lot of people say that the battery runs out in a flash.
And, since I'm completely new to flashing WM devices, a complete newb can some please give me a link to a idiot-proof guide for flashing? Or some guides on the web, I would really appreaciate it.
Any ROM is better than stock since 6.1 & 6.5 have never been officialy released for Excalibur.
Regards how?
Please take your time to have a good read of the sticky as pretty much everything is covered.
Have fun with new phone
