I have mogul that I have cooked & run many roms on.
Now a friend comes by with a At&t 8515, first I thought it was another Mogul, but after research I see it's a Hermes. So I updated my PPCKitchen OSbuilder with Hermes files. But when I look at carriers their is no At&t.
So my question is.....
How do I select their carrier?
Do I just use a CID Unlocker?
Any help greatly appreciated. I have tried searching for some time, but not finding good answers. I have found great tutorials on the 8525 from xda-developers, but still not sure on At&t carrier.
Go easy please....

I know people always ask to go through the threads and titles to find an answer, but the truth is I only find bits here and bits there, and not sure what to do!
I wish someone could explain what are the steps to take to move from Wm5 to Wm6 (I like the Black version) on T-Mobile Vario II, with as little probs as possible.
What programs to download and where from? Which order to install them?
Also: are all Wm6 versions available 'pirates'? Why cant you download Wm6 straight from Microsoft (I havent found any links yet!)
A huge thanks!!!
Step by step?
I agree with the above! Any step by step instructions for beginners?
I concur. It's a minefield out there. Lots of advice but a lot of it contradictive and the occaisonal mention of the "B" word just to convince you to put it off again for another couple of months.
It's been a lot more than that now for me but the need to sort out my HTC S100 Bluetooth headset means I have to.
I'm going to take the plunge. I'll let you know what happens.
T-Mob UK MDA Vario II (HTC Hermes) WM5hit
MrVanx's site has a nice set of guides on it.
I went here,
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners
I did the HardSPL part but I'm not sure if I needed to as the ROM I used seemed to do the same thing, but it didn't seem to hurt.
I then went here and downloaded the Schap's 3.60a ROM from mirror 1
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=all_hermes_roms
and ran it....
Forgot to back up my MMS's so lost them but apart from that... dare I say it......
The main reason for me doing this was to get a half decent sound on my HTC S100 Bluetooth handsfree jobby. It's done the trick, not perfect but it's so much better.
Hope that helps someone else and thanks to all involved in the sources I used.

I decided to take the plunge today mainly to take advantage of the new internet sharing via wifi hack available on WM6. Like you guys I was nervous about messing up my phone and there is so much information available and so many choices. I decided to follow MrVanx's guide, very simple and spent about 2 hours doing to whole upgrade for hard spl, radio upgrade and windows black satin. It really is very easy if you follow that guide step by step. Definately worth it and had I known how simple it would be would have upgraded my vario II ages ago. If like me your on t-mobile then the cab on this thread might also be handy:

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.

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?
So im getting a vogue today because my q died on me last night. I started out looking for a 6.1 update because i believe mine comes with wm6 and now i see all this stuff about cooked roms. WOW, never had these kind of choices with the q9c. Anyway can anyone tell me what would be the best rom for a Verizon vogue?
Looking at Stability,GPS,Ability to type without stylus, and 6.1 and/or a 3d gui included as major factors.
I seen the other thread but i cant tell if it says that rom has gps or not, this would be my first htc and my first foray into handheld gps.
Thanks guys
So here's the deal - search this forum and ppcgeeks.com for unlocker first. Then upgrade your radio. Then flash a custom rom. You will need to read all instructions. It's not as easy as plug and go. About 4 steps total. Maybe 15 mins of reading. NSFANs rom is highly recommeneded and I've tried them all. You will also need to run aGPS program also found in these forums. Just search the threads and your phone will be better than any iphone, etc.
Recommend some reading....
Thread closed as redundant and useless.
OK, I am new here and have done a lot of reading. Apparently me and about 3 other guys are the only ones that have USCC, not a lot out there for us. NFSFAN, you have mentioned that you might be able to whip us up something if there were more, that would be great. I do have a number of specific questions and I'd love all the great input that everyone has.
1. 6.5 or Android? (yes I know it is all personal taste)
2. My touch does not have GPS enabled from USCC. If I unlock the phone do I use .41 or 2.31? Yes I want GPS and would find a ROM with it and is that why I would choose one or the other?
3. My Radio is 3.42.30, do I need to upgrade to 3.42.50 for GPS or just to upgrade to 6.5? and where do I find that radio?
4. Am I asking to basic of questions yet?
5. How do I get Adobe Flash Player loaded/upgraded?
6. Is there a good .cab website out there for games/apps?
7. Can I have my cake and eat it too?
Nah j/k but I know my phone is capable of so much more than I am using it for now and want to take advantage of it. I really appreciate all the help and suggestions.
Thanks

Have you look over at PPC Geek's at all? There is a lot more CDMa info there.
Ok, I kinda thought this was the forum for CDMA, aka my USCC VOGUE phone. I have looked on ppc and am going to repost this question there. I saw the wealth of knowledge here and thought I could get some help....

This particular forum is for the CDMA Vogue but this site is geared more toward GSM devices. There doesn't seem to be a big US Cellular following on here.

Yes it is a personal choice, nice thing about Android is that it is a Linux shell - rebooting the phone brings you back to WinMO so really it can be best of both worlds just be prepared for some work in using Android and remembering steps before starting it like, Starting IE/Opera before starting Android to make sure you have Internet within Android (at least when I was using it a few months back)

You would use 2.31 unlocker and from there flash to a custom ROM - try a Generic ROM either 6.1 or WinMO6.5 might be able to utilize GPS if your connecting via generic or seek out some other USCC users in threads, I know some are using 6.5 currently and able to work fairly well

No, 3.42.30 is fine, you wont see a difference with 3.42.50 worth it plus it can cause some issues more than positives so stay to the basics

Depends on the ROM used as well as the Browser (IE or Opera) there is some reports of IE Mobile 8 or something like that working but flaky

Search the forums both here at VDA as well as PPCGeeks you will see links to personal cab repositories that will contain some for ya

Of course you can, but the actual saying is "can I eat my cake and have it too" in reference to the days of Marie Antoinette and the famous line of "let them eat cake" the idea is to be able to eat your cake AND have it, which of course would be impossible as would the situation a person in reference to the saying would be wanting as well
Hope that helps

Thanks Doug I had almost given up hope on this thread. I have been on PPC Geeks and am just about to take the plunge. Thanks for all the advice and I see the logic in the actual "eat / have it" order, very interesting and educational. Thanks again and I will try to update after I upgrade.
spittinfly, in your reading have you found the settings you need with QPST to make your GPS work with USCellular? Also, the instructions that get you into the diagnostic mode with other carriers do not work with USCellular. I had to do a lot of reading myself, and piece together information from several different threads to make it work. With the same radio you have I can lock in from 6 to 11 satellites. If you have found all this information I won't bother typing it all in, but if you need it let me know.
Personally, I've tried a couple of different ROMs, but I'm currently just running the USCellular WM6.1 with SPB Mobile Shell 2.1.5, while I'm anxiously awaiting Shell 3.
Well I am not familiar w/ SPB but I did go on ppcgeeks and searching for "uscc 6900" found what appears to be a good option for me. Would someone mind checking it out?

SPB is a set of applications for use ON your phone (SPB Backup, SPB Keyboard, ETC) SPB is the company name followed by what the app is
As far as the thread, Im hoping and assuming you are referring to NFSFAN 6.5 V6R2 Generic Carrier ROM ... I only ask as I am not going to read through 8 pages of replies to find what your referring to
If it is regarding NFSFAN and the ROM he has to offer, then yes I would suggest trying it, its the ROM I use on my HTC Vogue (Touch) and its been stable, fast and reliable
Detroit Doug
Is there a way to "turn on" the GPS (unlocker first, I understand this) WITHOUT changing the ROM?
I very much enjoy my current setup with ONE exception: no GPS.
I've read a little about QPST and have tried a version of it (its been quite a while) but it doesn't seem to recognize my 6900...
so... basically... 2 questions: 1. can I turn on GPS using only a settings change in QPST, and if so, 2. what version of QPST do I need to do so?
FYI, USCC 6900 6.1 Radio 3.42.30 ROM 3.01.573.4
Thanks in advance
Hello everyone
does anyone know where I can download wm 6.5 from. I am on o2 but I purchased the phone separately from mobiles.co.uk who the contract was through as well. cheers jez
Use the search function of this forum, it'll probably give you all the info you need. Or at least the correct threads to ask for it.
After that, use the search again to find all the info you need about flashing your device... You don't want to have a nice shiny brick to show off to your friends
