I have HTC 8525 unlocked. I am from USA using T-Mobile as Carrier. I have WM 6.0 can I upgrade it to 6.5. if yes where can i download it. pls give me the links.
u need to flash HardSPL first, then download a custom rom of your choice, and flash via the Custom RRU or the SD card method.
use Active sync(xp) or Windows mobile device center (vista) when u connect with PC.

I'm not trying to be a butthead here but, if you can not figure out the search button at the top of the forum, i highly suggest you NOT try to upgrade.
Best bet is to search the WIKI. It has the answers for your questions.

Hi, I am not that familiar with windows mobile pocket pcs, i am about to buy a cingular 8525 / at&t 8525, one of the two and i don't know if it will be locked or unlocked ( i will go by the best deal )... if its locked, can I upgrade it to Windows Mobile 6 and in the process of upgrading it and having a new rom, will it automatically get unlocked?
I am not sure but i believe that there is a rom, a radio and a bootloader, my question is that out of these three, which needs to be modified in order to unlock the phone? if its the rom... then i'm pretty sure upgrading it to mobile 6 will automatically unlock it...
if you can upgrade it mobile 6, then how? which rom do i need? do i need to change my bootloader to some universal edition, if so, is there any danger in doing that? how will the software distinguish between the hermes and the 8525? ( hermes has a 3g vga camera, 8525 does not )...
can someone please clarify?
Please visit WiKi page or read.....

Hi,
I'm looking into buying Cingular 8525 and unlocking it. I don't see Cingular 8525 written in description for this forum so I'm not sure if it's right place to ask questions.
Here is questions.
1. If I unlock the phone and then download and install official ATT WM6 upgrade, will it relock the phone?
2. Is it ok to use HTC WWE ROM on my phone or it might not work becouse of original branding?
Yes the Cingular/AT&T 8525 is the Hermes.
As for unlocking.. Good luck.. I just got mine 3 weeks ago and discovered that it had already been upgraded to a boot loader that can not be unlocked at this time.
I don't think upgrading the rom to WM6 will re lock the phone.
Not sue on the second part about the WWE rom.
yes it is. I have one.
1. no it won't relock the phone. But read mr vanx guide and wiki before unlock and upgrade. also it is adviced that you install hardspl 2.10 or above.
2. HTC WWE ROM will work only issue might come to you is the keyboard layout which can be fixed if you do little search.

8525 equals Hermes. Unlocking your device may void any warranty you have. You should only use ROMs made for the Hermes which you will find in this forum.

Agree with all of the above comments, with the exception of this one... Loading a non OEM rom, WILL void your warranty... However, many members have been able to successfully reflash with an OEM rom before taking it back to the providers and having any warranty action performed... So, if you need to have your device repaired under the terms of your warranty, you would need to reflash to the OEM version or they will send it back to you unrepaired...
The needed file for fixing the keyboard translation issue is called Cingular Keyboard Fix... a simple google search on this forum should locate it for you... Or you can install another application called "Schaps Advanced Configuration Tool v1.1 (recommended)... In this tool, you can choose your keyboard layout as Cingular...
"Schap's Advanced Configuration Tool" would have been hard to find with a Typo...^^
but please READ MR VANX GUIDE!!! PLEASE!!!
This post will also lead you to all the info you'll need about locking/unlocking, flashing ROM's, etc.
Cheers,
does any 1 have the link to windows mobile so i can up date my phone (htc pro 2) can any 1 help me?
What kind of TP2 do you have? If you have an AT&T it is already 6.5 (I believe) Verizon or Sprint you need to get a rom from the communities because there is no official rom yet.

i have the htc s621 i just wanted the original windows mobile 6 standard that came with it
Why ? Kavana 6.1 or 3VO 6.5 are so much better........
i kinda like the way the icons go across the bottom on the factory rom...also i wanted to flash it back to original settings...
stilll.....can anyone help me with that?
also whats the difference between the rogers s621 and the regular htc s621
Try this http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=329605, then flash any rom you want.
I hope that helps.
can anyone here send me the files for the windows mobile 6 standard from the s621?
Black Dash, whats it really called, Excalibur 620 621???
im just a newbie but do you mean the BLACK Tmobile Dash.. if so the ROM that came with this phone from Tmobile is version, 1.22.531.8 which is on Tmobile's site, you just have to enter your IMEI number and follow the instructions on how to install.
just to to Tmobile site, and go to support, phone/device support go to the bottom where it says Tmobile Phones, look for the Dash, and go to the download section and look for the ROM there
sorry couldnt post direct site.

Those are the same thing, you can't install WM6.5 without flashing the whole ROM.
You want the first link you posted, if you want the latest update. The second link you posted is from 2009.
So from the ROM update from the 1st link it will also install Windows 6.5 on my mobile? or it will just update the ROM?
Updating the ROM is flashing Windows Mobile to your phone. Windows is not installed like it is on your PC to a hard-drive. It is 'flashed' into the ROM of your phone (along with other useful Apps and drivers). Flashing a different ROM will give you a different version or flavour of WM. (TP2 can run WM6.1, WM6.5 or WM6.5.x).
Who is your carrier? I know that T-Mobile has an official Windows Mobile v6.5 ROM available for their T-Mobile branded phones. So you may want to check with your carrier to see if they have one for you.
I did try the official Windows Mobile v6.5 ROM from T-Mobile and it was OK. But I had already been trying out various WM 6.5.x ROMs off of XDA before I tried out their official ROM.
To try out a customized ROM from here you'll have to do a few things first. If you are using a GSM TP2 (ATT, T-Mobile, etc) I'd advise going to the Touch Pro 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development page and read through a few posts first, specifically the thread Flashing your first GSM Rhodium ROM (for Noobs).
If you are using a CDMA TP2 (Verizon, Sprint) I'd recommend going to the Touch Pro 2 CDMA page for threads about ROMs for the CDMA TP2 and then reading the thread RhodiumW Hard-SPL Release.
Then don't hesitate to ask questions. There are plenty of people here on these forums that are willing to help.
As stated before this is very dependent on the type of device which you own so be careful when doing so. If you have a GSM (Att/T-mobile) device look in the upgrades section for that if you have a CDMA device (Sprint/Verizon) look in the upgrades section there. Read how to unlock and then you can flash a 6.5 or even 6.5.x ROM which is the latest in windows mobile. Be aware that flashing a ROM will wipe all your data it is not a simple upgrade procedure, you will need to get all your contacts, settings, apps, etc back on your device on your own so make sure you backup everything beforehand.
Hello
This is my first post so hope I am not out of line replying here.
I recently received my TP2 with Windows 6.1 with ROM version of 1.19.702.2 Date: 06/22/09. Also from Hong Kong.
I am thankful to find this thread and the great info here. But I have a similar situation with some additional questions.
Do I post the questions here?
If you want a stock windows without void warranty, you can from official website HTC download actuall ROM. You must write there you P/N so they know if the upgrade is for your TP2. If not, change country at their site and try again till you find the right ROM.
Example: i could not download till i didnt change country to czech republic.
If you dont mind to void warranty, go to developing section
