All I did is run the .exe and it upgraded. I'm not sure what workaround youre talking about though. I run Vista Ultimate.
Ive had driver issues in the past though and had to reinstall mobile drivers.

You can flash any hermes ROM with Vista like in XP if you upgrade your WDCM to version 6.1
Regards.

I can confirm flashing under Vista works flawlessly.

Best for HTC TyTN

HI.
What is best version of WM6 for this model???
thanks

This question, I have already asked me. The selection of roms at the moment is huge!
How it actually looks with the new official WM6.1?

Go with one of the Schaps Roms
Schaps has made great Roms for both 6.0 and now 6.1. His 6.1 is still a beta, I'm running it with no issues. Great Rom. You may want to hang on until he posts the final version of it (should be any day now, maybe over the weekend).
Just my two cents worth.
Installation instructions you'll find all over this forum. just search for it.
\MIG

Hard to say which ROM is best as it depends on what software you want installed, reliability, performance etc
I have always been an admirer of Schaps, Pays, Black Satin to name a few
All this info can be found if you search these forums
Personally I am using Schaps 6.1 Beta, and looking forward to his full release which is due soon (been waiting now for a few weeks).
Check out the wiki pages for more info

i have found Schaps 4.31 Lite is the best so far just straight up WM6 no 6.1

Thats exactly my point, each person has their own favourite, and this question has been asked 1000's of times in this forum

spartan THIs is a n00b question but if I try Schaps beta 6.1 can I flash back down to lets just say his 4.31??

Can some one post me newest:
1. SPL
2.Radio
3.Rom
thanks for all

I can say which one for now
this is the ROM of PAYs 6.1
here it is:

Why my is my Hermes so unstable...

Hey. I have installed one of the new roms (19209) and of this time, my hermes always hangs (etc. when i receive a call or so, or in the morning after wake up from standby...)
Before i had Shadow 2.0 without problems (also WM6). Now (after 19209) i installed Shadow 2.1 and my hermes always hangs???
What could i do??
Please help me.
thx
pOpY

I found that I was having the same issues, phone hard reseting itself and all sorts, I did the following to resolve:
Flash to Official wwe Windows mobile 6.0 AT&T rom
update my hard spl to the latest,
replace radio rom
update to WM 6.1 image of choice,
this is supposed to be an issue witht he big storage roms screwing with the phones storage, flashing to an original rom appears to resolve.
Cheers
Steve

wow, thanks for the fast reply.
But before i flashed the Shadow 2.1 i have flashed an non big Storage Rom.
i havent tried to reflash radio yet, but i will do that and then flash an original ROm first.
Which ROM do you prefer?
Thanks

Hihi....
personally I suggest you to flash an official rom first ,
then go to flash the PDAviet rom ( my OS version) ,
its lightning fast and yet stable. ^_^
enjoy! ^_^

Another try....
Hey.
So i have done the following:
1. Flash HARD-SPL v9 (i had v7)
2. Check for Bad Blocks via mtty (nothing found
3. Flash Official HTC Rom (non big storage)
4. Flash Radio 1.54.30.10
5. Flash MY OS PDAviet rom (Green & Clean Version)
6. Installed my prefered Software:
PhoneAlarm
Resco Explorer
Birthdays Today Plugin
Large Startmenu
FTouchSL v2.5
PCM Keyboard 0.14
PocketCM-0.20b
S2U2 0.99p
SPB Mobile SHell 2.0
After some soft reset (while application installation) it starts up normally to the today screen and then hangs :-(
Does any of my installed software hang up???? Did anybody of you know if any of the above listed software is bad
(I could remeber that i always have installed this software without any problems (in Shadows 2.0 TE rom)).

did you make a manual hardreset after flashing the rom?

Hmmm. The advice given was to flash the official AT&T ROM before doing anything else ... yet I do not see that step in the list of things you've done.
Instead I see you've flashed a different one. And you still remain unsatisfied with the outcome.
If your problems persist, I would highly suggest USING the advice you've been given before seeking additonal advice. If nothing else ... just out of respect for those who gave you that advice, to begin with.
Godspeed and good luck. I am personally happy with what WM6 is giving me, without needing to push the boundaries to where they are obviously currently at a breaking point with 6.1.
But If you absolutely find you have a NEED for WM6.1, where it's been stated to be somewhat flaky right now on the Hermes, I suggest you deal with that flakiness. After you've TAKEN THE ADVICE GIVEN, if it still doesn't work to your expectations, roll back and move on.
Just my own $0.02.

pOpy,
Try here: HTC's AT&T 8525 Support Page. It looks like the same ROM is still available.
Good luck in your endeavor,
-pvs

@pvs: Thanks for the link.
I hat couple of freezes in the last days. Now i have found some time to reflash the rom you given me the link. After that i would flash the 1.54.30.10 radio and the G&C rom from PDAViet.net.
Ill report back..
Thx for your help

I have installed HardSPL-9. is this normal that my hermes hangs at 100% after flashing a rom????
The rom runs after flashing.
thx
popy

I have flashed the B&C PDAVIET Rom. I dont know if this is a bug of the rom, but no my Hermes takes about 10 secs to wake up from standby!!! Now ill miss almost every call
Please help....
thx
pOpY

pOpY,
As I had alluded to earlier, from following threads in this forum, it appears to me that the current WM6.1 ROM available is not yet ready for prime time. I have decided to remain happy with the 6.0 versions ... especially after reviewing the reports on exactly what has changed in 6.1 (not much).
Maybe it's time to honestly ask yourself if the currently available upgrade to 6.1 is really worth all this trouble.
Again, just my own POV here.
-pvs

I have the same problem with more than 6 different wm6.1 roms... it's a serious bug in wm6.1, all roms!

It seems that the wakeup bug is gone now. Just soft-Reseted my phone. Now it wakes up normally.
The wake bug i just have in the PDAVIET B&C Rom one time, now its gone (hope a long time )
In the other 19209 roms from PDAVIET i havent some of this wakeup bugs (just the other issues mentioned before).
I will report back...
cu
pOpY

Now it runs over 2 days, without a freeze
Will now install my software!
thx guys
pOpY

Now it runs for 1 week without any problems
Flashing the AT&T Rom first solved my problem!!

Great news pOpY,
Can you give a brief synopsis of what's improved in WM6.1 ... from your POV?
I'd love to hear what I'm missing out on by holding off.

Extended Rom Problems after installing Wm6.1 and going back to 6.0

After 3 terrible days dealing with diferent wm6.1 roms from here, I go back to my the old and stable K's Wm6 Final.
My experience with Wm6.1 has been completly awfull. HR, screen frezzes, white screens on load, no GSM, App crashes .... Even installing previously a official WWE rom.
I know that there are people working with 6.1 without problems but in my opinion, if somebody need a sure and confiable hermes phone better to stay away from 6.1.
Regards
Pd.: Wm6.1 Roms Installed: last from PDACorner, last from PDAViet, MRH 5.7, and NiaX ESP (All same problems)

Mmmm strange. I use the CRCs V11 since it is available and waiting for the next Shaps french one. Even if my hermes is "french", all applications are working fine (TomTom, a lot of GPS apps, Basic4PPC, astronomy softwares, PocketCM, Tcpmp, etc...). Even video calls are working fine. Battery consumption is fair (no push mail) with 1.47.00.10 radio rom. Till now i did not miss a call and speed is good (obviously, more you add apps, slower is your pda)
Btw, i always "flash" roms using sdcard method. IMO, it is the only reliable way (no possible usb deconnexion, so easy, PC independent,...)
Give a try to CRC's V11. Who knows? You could find your way through 6.1
Hope this helps

Wm6.1 problem
I agree with you. So far try out so many ROM with WM6.1. Encounter all sort of problems like hang when making calls, network not found, auto hard reset. But only Pays WWE 3.00 Final Full this ROM I never face all this problems at all. Perhaps you might want to give a try on Pays ROM 3.00. Cheers!

i'm using crc v11 till now and never experiencing any problem like that.

Did those roms, pays and crc, have Extended rom or are Big Storage?

CRC V11 stores elements in extended rom (as far as i know). If i can suggest something: As you experienced problems with 6.1, just start first with a rom which seems stable. As a test, it is not so important to be Big Storage or not

I have been using MRH 5.5 for several weeks now with out a single freeze. Works great.

CRC12.1
definitely no problems. Unless you want to run microsoft's live search. The only thing that doesn't go and i haven't had a chance to tweak with s2u2 yet

its just ur device... plus u gotta no which one is best for u..

Cloudyfa 's Shadow_TE 2.1 WM6.1 is a stable ROM.
i had use it for about 4 months

Don't know. It could be a personal problem...
I went back to my well known K's Rom and the problems was still there. Now I'm sure that it is related to extended rom, that from time to time and without reason get automatically erased.
I have flash a well know oficial At&T Rom, as adviced by one of the best cookers here, then install again K's Rom final, and the problem disapeared for two days, but it is here again...
Does somebody know If I can flash just a oficial Extended Rom (instead of the full oficial AT&T Rom) or format the extended Storage with some program (pocket mechanic or some other like it)?. I'm a little tired of repeating the configuration proccess...
Thanks

I have flashed again the official At&t rom, as adviced by Dr. Puthingan, and then the K's Final Rom to nothing.
The problem still there.
When I was installing an App to the Extended_Rom the intallation hangs, and after reset all the contens of Extended Rom have dissapeared.
I found only a FilesToBeDeleted folder winth garbage inside (look at screenshoot)

Hey,
I was in the same situation as you were in a couple of months ago...
I've always wanted to tinker around with WM6.1 but I too also found the Ext.Rom to be unstable...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2228473&postcount=703
I always found myself flashing back to the reliable Shamanix Ultimate 2.0 Final.
Finally, I tried this ROM:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=406111
And, It's been surprisingly stable and no Ext.ROM to deal with.
Again, before installation, you'll have to follow Dr. P's instructions:

Hope this helps

You might want to try the official dopod rom then back whichever 6.1 you want. I found mine was better after doing that.

Hopefully the problems is solved....
I reinstall the At&T, as adviced by Dr. Puttinghan, hard-spl 7, and then the Faria/Dr. Puttinghan Clean Rom.
Now, all is working without issues..

Update XDA Orbit Rom

I am completely new to this so not to sure what I am looking for ROM-wise (for compatibilty). I have ran the the artemis USPL which now the instructions says I can now install any artemis ROM, Please could you advise. I would like to have WM 6.1 on my orbit and possibly what is on the HTC Diamond can this be done and if so could you send me a link to a good rom.
Thanks in advance.
Dave

If you have completed the uspl step u can go for any rom in here ... but I prefer artemis touch roms. Tom's roms are also very good and sleek.

I would advise artemis touch rom (4.02 full without cubes). I'm running it on my xda orbit too.
It's wm 6.1, it's fast, stable and has the nice touch features (I don't use the cubes a lot, so I left them out, you can also install with cubes).
If everything is allright with uspl, you can install it now without problems.

well i'm using the PDAviet and it's really good. but i think i'll install the YuE cuz all are saying it's the best
