Hi,
i searched & searched 4 so long... but i couldn´t find something to make my dreams come true!

yeah it can now be done for free \0/, have a look around
Ok I just bought an unlocked Cingular 8525 today. I am using it on T-Mobile. Just upgraded my account so I have the unlimited internet addon. And now someone told me I just upgrade WM5 to WM6 and gave me a link to this site. I have been reading stuff on here all day. But I am still kinda confused. I can't really find the WM6 for T-Mobile ROMs. I found This. But I don't think it is the WM6 upgrade. Could someone please point me in the right direction. Also I plan on doing the upgrade route were I put the HERMIMG.nbh on my memory card and upgrade it like that.
Thanks for any help!

start by going to the wiki..read all of that, and you should be fine.
I have read different sections of the wiki. I just bumped into something and it looks like there aren't specific ROMs that I need to look at to upgrade to WM6 is this correct? If I get one of These 11 different ones will any of them work? Thats what I think I am seeing. If I do need a specific one please let me know.
Thanks for the quick reply.

I'm assuming you are talking US T-mobile. There is no ROM dedicated for Tmob-US yet. Keep reading. Some topics to search for...HARD-SPL, Pof sim unlocker, LVSW, Schap, Sleuth, black, vp3g, ELF. There are many variants. Do your homework. Take your time. Read the wiki.
And try them!
I have tried LVSW, Sleuth, Faria, Black and Custel.
I play with each for a few hours or a few days.
No better way to see how you like it than to try it out on your device.

I smell a brick coming... dont read SOME of the WIKI read the WHOLE HERMES section.. until you completely understand what it is you need to do.

Would that be a good guide to help me through the upgrading process?
It's a good guide.
Read the wiki though, especially the 'common problems...' and 'upgrading' parts.
You don't want a brick.

Dear all,
please excuse the dumb questions of a complete newbie.
The girlfriend just bought an O2 XDA neo on ebay, which came from a O2 contract extension, and seems to be net/simlocked to O2 cards.
So, is there a way to make this thing accept other cards, or should we just try to sell it on?
I searched the forum, but came up empty on the keyword "neo", and have no idea which of the other codenames our device could be.
thanks for any help
cheers

Okay all,
either the search function here sucks, or I am dumber than I thought
Found out on another board that the neo is "Prophet", found the unlock instructions here, followed them and it worked. Problem solved

I have a phone made in China that I bought directly from the manufacture, this is a 1 of a kind phone nothing else like it. It is really awesome but it has Windows Mobile 5 which is a disgrace, I must have WM6. I talk to the maker and they tell me it is very hard to do and they cant do it, I don't understand why this is. How hard would it be to put WM6 on it? How would I go about doing that? Is there someway to flash them? If someone has real expertise on this and could help me I might be able to pay a little money if it involved work. Thanks
hard? if, they think its hard. It may be the spec is quite low on your new phone. I have a MDA and I was going to upg to WM6. I read and I stop thinking to upg to WM6. It will make my phone much slower. From what I read, upg from WM5 to WM6 is not hard. You will need to post your maker or maybe spec of your phone to get more help.
What you are looking for is to Unlock CID first. CID stands for Country ID. Once is unlocked you can install almost any ROM you want.
This is a must read and it really help you understand how hard or easy to upg a ROM.

After we purchased the T-Mobile Compact III, they told us that it would not switch to english. Now I am here and being flooded with Too Much Info. Could someone help out a poor sucker get this thing backed up, reflashed with an english version and maybe find a free GPS program? The only thing keeping me from running some of the stuff that I have found is backing up my current ROM. I want to be able to put the T-Mobile ROM back on the thing just in case....
Any help would be greatly appreciated, and probably by many service members here in Germany who will soon end up in my shoes.
Maybe my question was not clear....
I may have not stated my question clearly. I am looking for the T-Mobile German ROM that comes with the T-Mobile MDA Compact III here in Germany, or a way to back up the ROM on my Artemis...
I want to have the factory ROM on hand in case I have to reflash it back to original config... Once I have this or back it up, I can flash which ever rom I need. I do not want to end up with a brick that I cannot try to return to the original config.
Any help would be appreciated.
Growing Pains
Well, I have flashed my MDA with several ROMS to see which one my wife likes best. Risky, I know, but ya gotta please the missus...
I was disappointed that the WiFi was disabled in the german models, as it would have saved alot of money for us... O2 Germany's MDA's are WiFi enabled I found out today.
I am also disappointed that the GPS is very hard to get working. T-mobile cannot explain how to do it, and I am making that my next project.
For those who read this thread and decided that I was wasting space, sorry. I have read through about 45% of all artemis threads over the past 48 hours and my brain is thoroughly scrambled with TMI.
So far, Artemis Touch full version is the one that my wife likes, and I like it too. We tried the O2 ROM, but it is not compatible with the T-mobile network for some reason...(lol) Since I am still new, I have not learned how to flash a ROM using an .rar file yet, but with more thread reading I should be able to learn this as well.
BT Rom would not flash either, stating that it was the wrong model number. Found that in a thread as well... Next up... GPS...
