{closed topic 19 Nov}Official HTC/ATT US Rom off line or being upgraded?

The official HTC/ATT US Rom has been off line at HTC's Support thread for the last three days. I wounder if their is a newer ROM getting ready to come out.
Back up Now
I contacted them about it and they replied that it's a server error but the only thing I can think of is that the release file name no longer matches the link in the support download area of their site. Time will tell. I'll update this when I get a confirmation or the link starts working again.
New File Location
ftp://att8525rom:[email protected]/RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe

I believe that there were a few posts regarding the AT&T rom, they had an announcement that the ROM is going to be posted for only a limited time, Although i am not sure if it is until the 18th or not.

On the site it says it will be available from November 1, 2007 to February 1, 2008.

i saved it on my hard drive if any one needs it.

Yes I have it also but was just surprising to see that the file is off line for the last 2 days. Could mean an update is coming I hope that may fix some of the problems many have been having. I have been useing the official ROM for about 2 weeks now in Florida and it's been running really well with no problems in radio except maybe a little less signal than what I had before running WM5 with radio 1.4x.
Anyway just started this thread as a means to keep an eye on the official to see what goes with it.

I also downloaded and now using the official wm6 from htc. I like it but no msn home anymore? gotta go online to check my hotmail? sucks! still no youtube streaming. other than that I like it a lot. I called htc just the other day and they said their site link is down because they are waiting for user reviews on it to release the final version in just a few weeks for the htc hermes/8525. they said the final release in a few weeks should fix any or at least some of the bugs in the pre wm6 release they put out for a short time.

I hope it's sooner rather than later and bug fixes are always welcome. I'm sure if they patch it up the cooks will be much happier around here. They are all great and their offerings are fantastic but if the code you get to work with is buggy from the start it makes life a lot harder to get out a stable and error free ROM. Not to mention all the time the Cooks put in patching the bad code they get from the officially released versions by HTC. [I'm trying to compliment all the cooks here if it doesn't sound like it your not getting my point ]
Looking to the future...

yep, I hear u. always nice to have a custom rom for ur personal needs. I just like to stick wit the legit version so when my phone bricks ill get a new one under warranty. these things cost too much to buy another one.

As of this morning it's still off line no change in the page yet.

Well it's back online now and no change in the file name so I guess not an update.
Consider this thread dead for now.

T-Mobile (UK) Released Official WM6 Upgrade

I hope this hasn't been mentioned in another thread (I have searched but cannot find it mentioned anywhere).
T-Mobile have released an official upgrade to WM6 for the MDA Compact III. See http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/sd_compact3.html.
Has anyone used this yet? I have downloaded but not get plucked up the courage to upgrade mine! Will upgrading to WM6 vastly speed up my device. Is it recommended?

It has been mentioned.
Ive switched to this one as the official ones tend to have a lot more tesitng.
Like it, its the most stable release yet. I used the Vanilla rom before and had to reboot every now and then but this one has been running since release with no reboots. Rock solid.
It wont speed things up but WM6 is how WM5 should have been. Looks nice, the email is better, HTML mails is nice.
There is no reason to have WM5 in my opinion when the official WM6 is out. All the same features but better.
Ive also got Opera Mobile installed, changed the theme to a black vista one and all stable. Also, my one, must have app and the reason I have a WM device. Ewallet.

Will 6800 WM 6.1 work on the 6900?

my phone is a Sprint Mogul so I'm not familiar with the Touch. My daughter who has a Verizon Touch is visiting from out-of-state. Several months ago I saw an update to WM 6.1, but now I can no longer find a link. Verizon customer service can't help. Will the official Verizon WM 6.1 for the 6800 work correctly with the 6900?

No different phones so different rom images.
But the process that you followed to install WM 6.1 on your Titan is very similar to process that you'll need to follow if you want to install WM6.1 on your daughters XV6900.
That being said you'll find all the information/tools that you'll need to upgrade to WM6.1, by looking into unlocker sticky at the top of the forum.
A couple of things to remember:
1.) Verizon does not have an offical Wm6.1 update as of yet., to the best of my knowledge. There is one labeled Verizon Official, but like I said I don't think its official. If it was official, Verizon would have a download link listed somewhere under the phone in your account. At least they did when they come out with the XV6800 WM6.1 upgrade.
2.) You will probably need to call Verizon to get a new Akey after upgrading to the new rom. I've found that when going from a non-GPS rom to a GPS rom most of the time the AKey gets messed up.
Good luck

Thanks Flipdog. You answered my questions. I would update using a Kitchen from PPC Geeks, but I want it to be an official rom because my daughter might need support otherwise. Happy holidays.

Once you flash a new ROM, you become your own tech support. If it's for your daughter and she lives out of state, I suggest leaving it alone. The only upgrade that she may notice, unless she is big on tech, is the threaded text messaging.

Do you have the ROM? Are you 100% sure it even exists as the news over the black edition ended up to be WM6 as posters confirmed here.

all i can find on the t-mo site is wm6.
Edit: 69th post. I don't think that the board is giving me the "satisfaction" that I was expecting from this moment.

Yep, I also loged on tmobile's site and all the're offering as a software update as of today is wm6 . I also searched around and couldn't find any official statement that says tmo usa will use 6.1 on their smartphones. Who knows maybe they'll implement more android phones. I hope they don't deviate from windows mobile.

At&t sent out wm6.1 for my friends duo, I flashed it for her. Come on tmobile wm 6 is a thing of the past!

but unfortunately the Dash is too...with a new one coming soon and no word of any plans to release a 6.1 official I really doubt we will ever see one.

T-mobile 6.1 Codenamed "Sasquatch" I have seen it
