Dear all,
I contacted HTC for my device upgrading and ROM updates, and they direct me to this forum.
I have a TyTN unlocked device, and want to upgrade to WM6. I explored all what you posted here but couldn't decide which version and link is suitable for me. Any way, here down my device information, and I'm appreciating any help to upgrade my device to WM6.
Device Information:
Device Name: HTC TyTN (Unlocked)
Language: English
Processor: SC32442A - 400MHz
Memory: 49.05 MB
System: Windows Mobile 5.0 OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0)
That are all information I could get from my device
Need Help my friends.
After all, I beleive that HTC should have an upgrade area to support their devices.
Thank you in advance.
Hi there!
its good to know that HTC assistants sent you here on this forum !!
I can suggest you to go for the wm6 image black 2.5 as its been always the most stable for me, so read the wiki and all the documents to upgrade your hermes to that version.
http://www.mrvanx.org/cms/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=37&Itemid=26
and don't run in the upgrade, take your time to read everything and if you don't understand something, come back here.

It depends on your personal reasons for upgrading. If you want to upgrade because of more speed and more stability you should try Black 2.5. If you are doing it because of adventuresomeness you should give all of the great roms here a try.
But at least you should try Black 2.5, Duttys V2 and Custels 1.3 to find out which one is the best for you. You should also try different radios to see if theres a difference in your area.
And don't forget the most important object: read mrvanx upgrade guides very very carefully and follow every step exactly.
be aware that the ROMs here are *unofficial* and *unsupported* ROMs.
HTC will NOT help you out if you screw up your device.
if you are unsure about flashing, then stay with the stock ROM.
I have a UK unlocked Tytn and would very strongly recommend Black 2.5.
My first ever ROM upgrade was Black 1.2 and it was soo god. 2.0 was even better and 2.5 better still. Have had no problems, battery life is much better, doesn't lockup/freeze any more, loads more memory available.....i could go on.
Go for it - follow mrvanx's upgrade guide. he makes it very easy
Flashig roms is one way... be careful...
When I first flashed a WM6 Rom on to my HERMES I made sure I read all the preinstall instructions very carefully as I didn't have a clue about flashing. MR VANX's guide is excellent, follow it carefully and you can't go wrong.
I have now successfully flashed numerous ROMS on to my device.
No-one can tell you which is the best ROM as they are all excellent for their own different features and customisations. You will need to try a few and see which you like best.
Good Luck.
I highly doubt
That an HTC representative sent someone here for ROM updates to WM 6.0.
If they did and are caught, they will probably be terminated.
I deal with HTC regularly and they don't condone or encourage our methods of tuning and research.
Be careful out there.
Thank you
Thank you a lot for your replies guys. They helped me a lot. I'll do the upgrade and will back to you with the results. Thanks again.

It always amazes me how corporate structures can be so schizoid. I too have received- from in-the-trenches personel- a pointer to this site specifically for beta testing WM6 Push. Conversely, the moderators here made it clear that management at HTC was a major impetus behind MS's request that the ftp archives be pulled.
The kicker for me is that the Wiki on HTC's US site specifically points to this XDA-developers and those postings are all vetted by someone at HTC USA. I'm thankful for that because that's how I found this site in the first place.
My Upgrading Status
First of all, I would like to add my voice to (teambnet) that I'm thankful for them to made me know this website and forum in the first place.
OK, about my upgrading status guys, I did exactely as shown in mrvanx.org website and did install WM6 Black 2.5, everything is gone fine except one thing, that the button of contact voice tag is not working. When I push that button, it gives me a message "Error opening the shortcut or locating the target filename.", I tried then to assign the shortcut to a program by going to Start --> Settings --> Buttons, but I couldn't find the program that should be assigned. I don't know if my problem are clear or not but I tried to explain as much I could. Any suggestions to solve that?
Thanks all,
Reda,

I always suspected that secretly HTC were using us as beta testing guinea pigs, now it looks like I was right! And half of the fixes for their bugs are created by developers on this site.
Seriously though, if your Hermes is no longer covered by the original HTC warranty (as mine was from the very first day I got it, since I bought it from an "unauthorized" distributor), then HTC have nothing to lose by pointing someone to this site. They might as well have said, "Flush it down the toilet for all we care..."
John
HTC's wiki is just like ours, anyone can edit it... So i doubt that HTC themselves put a link to XDA on their wiki, but someone else probably did..
You need to install the voice commander CAB located on the first page of BLACK2.5 Then remap the button.
You should read thru the numerous posted before asked already resolved issues. Congrats on the UPGRADE!!!

Finally Finished
Hi all,
Thank you stuckes, I did as you told me and everything gone very nice. WM6 is a nice OS, not that much different from WM5 at least for me. But, it's nice. Thank you all for your help in that.
I got a question, when I would to upgrade, there are many versions of WM6, Black2.5 and other versions, where can I find a complete comparison with screenshots of them to decide if I'm gonna change to another one or stick to black 2.5?
Regards,
Arnie gets tough with the chefs.....

There's a black 3.0.1.
Easily found along with a list of many other ROMs on the wiki page here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Cooked_ROMs
And this is the link to the Black 3.0.1 thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=305940
HTH, Oggy.
Hi all,
Ive recently just flashed Mary's (HelloNasty)' ROM, but i cant seem to play MP3's or the like. Is it missing the codec?
Does any know of a fix or cab so i can possibly fix this?
I'd like to avoid flashing again just because of this problem (Just fixed it all up again).
Would really appreciate any help! Thanks.
Not that it's gonna help u a great deal, but I too run the Mary rom (which I find is superb cos it retains the vpn settings for me) and it runs mp3 without any problems and did so from day 1.
Maybe a reflash might cure your problem?

You're right!
Sometimes, I don't understand these guys...
I think they have a nervous finger, and press the first button they see...In this case was "New Thread"
It's a shame that users are not used to respect the rules around here....
It's because of these things, that the forum is full of crap...and when we want to search for something, we spend hours searching in the middle of sh*t
To everyone that was diss'n me. The reason why i started a new thread was because it might not have just been the Mary rom to have this problem occuring.
I placed it out in the WM6 section because if someone had come across the same problem, they would not know that they should go into the Mary Rom thread to find such a thing.
Im not ignorant of the rules k thnx, but i figured just incase someone else had this problem happen to them, it would be easy to find it here rather than specifically in the Mary Rom forum.
Both of you above had nothing good to say regarding the request, why add useless posts to the thread? Would it not in turn indicate you are putting junk into this thread? If you cant help with the answer then please dont reply. Instead maybe send me a private message instead to let me know that i should have started my thread in the Mary Rom.
Hey Guys,
I am hoping someone has been able to test the BlackBerry Connect on this baby.
What luck have you had? I am not able to cook my ROM due to company unit and I really want to get rid of ROM 1.34.
2.15 has no working BBC so I am stuck with this old ROM.
I beg the swammies of this forum to assist in ANY way please...
Bump! Bump!
184 views an no one has any ideas? Is there someone out there with this official ROM that is willing to give this a go?
i am deeply sorry, willing to herlp you eagerly, but i have no idea about your problem, deeply sorry again.
Suggestion: Try to revise your way of prsenting your problem, may someone get understand it and help you.
it has already being posted bro this is old news if you still cannot find it google htc america 8525 support and you will find the link!
Thanks guys! I saw that the WM6 BBC in some ROMs work and others do not. I know that there have been some great cooks that have been able to get this working. I was hoping that since the 8925 supports it, the new ATT WM6 upgrade for the 8525 would support it as well. I did so searches and saw that the leaked ROM did not support it but, since this release is different, I had high hoped.
Leoiden, You mention this is old news but this was just released 5 days ago. Will it not work then? HTC says it not supported but, they have not been able to tell me if it works.
I mean the 1.34 ROM does not have BBC support but, it works great. Since I am not able to upgrade and go back, I have no way of testing it so, I was hoping someone already went through it.
Thanks in advance.
In some cooked ROMs, BB Connect is available. If you cant find one, then you can cook one into a ROM with one of the fantastic kitchens available. Try doing a search for BB Connect just specifically in the Hermes Mobile 6 forum. Hope I helped a little.
-Nstefanelli-
Yes, it did help. I am not allowed to run cooked ROM's on this device. This is why I was hoping there was a solution to run BBC on the new Official ATT WM6 ROM.
There are lots of threads telling me how to do it but they are all for the HTC ROM, the cooked ROMS and other ROMS. Non of them tell me if and when the ATT WM6 ROM rolled out Nov. 2007 will take a BBC load and work.
I know it is unsupported. I am just hoping someone out there has either tried and failed or tried and succeeded.
There is so much information out there. Weeding through the non relevant stuff to find the info that pertains to your situation is what I am having trouble with.
Hmmm... I am wondering if the BBC software for the Tilt will work on the Hermes. I am hoping that is the same build and therefore may work. Who has tried this?
Hello everyone and thanks for giving me your attention. I've been searching google,yahoo,news groups and I have yet to find someone that has been able to cook a new rom for the Q9h. Its a good phone for everything that I do. However I would like it to do more perhaps to upgrade it to 6.1 it comes with 6.0.
I'm a data center engineer and while this is a mobile forum if you need help with any server hardware questions I could answer them for you.
Thank you, Jason
Hello,
hopefully somebody got a registry twaek or anything that make
it possible to use the mail preview in TouchFlow or MS 3.5 in
combination with BBConnect.
Right now in both programms it is only possible to see the header
of the mails. Well that´s a little bit frustrating, because it makes
it impossible to use the preview function, and you still have to
oben the mailreader programm.
Thanks for your reponse.

Hi Howie,
I have been using various versions of BBConnect on various handsets for about 4 years now. I'm afraid I have never seen a solution to this. I would like to be able to delete the emails from the Touch Flo screen using a soft key without having to open them anyway. BBConnect is an apauling programme and causes lots of bugs. Your one is just one of them!
Hi Mitsi,
thanks for your feedback.
Just to your point, within MS3.5 it´s possible to delete an mail
with "two clicks" without open the original mailprogramm.
Well, from my point of view, since it is a problem that comes up
in TFD and MS3.5, i believe there must be a solution.
It seems that both programms are using a procedure or whatever
that is similar in both programms. ( Hey sorry, i´m not a programmer)
From my point of view it must be possible to trace that back.
But to be honest i don´t know how, if somebody could point me in the
direction i would try it. But hopefully there are more experienced guy´s out
there who knew how to do that.
Is there somebody ???
Okay, maybe this way works, if somebody will provide a solution,
we can talk about a reward - 10 until 15€ ???
We will see.....
Wiling to donate also...
Bump.
Hi everybody,
just to bump it up again, maybe one of the dev´s has now a solution
on that matter.
Reward is still open
Hello,
bump it up again, still hoping somebody got a solution and is going to get
the reward
Yet another questition, since i´m running on the stock rom (german ),
could give me somebody a hint if the mailpreview will work with sense 2.5
or maybe with a "cooked" rom.
Would be great to get at least a feedback, if that will be a way,
that i could follow for a solution on this issue.
