Here is a new rom from the still unreleased Cingular 8525: HTC Hermes (HERM100) branded from U.S. Operator Cingular.
ROM Version: 1.30.502.1
ROM Date: 08/21/06
Radio: 1.11.00.00
Protocol: 32.47.7018.00H
As always, download link on the wiki upgrading page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
If you have questions be sure to read the Hermes wiki first, specially the Upgrading FAQs.
Notes on this ROM:
* Cingular 8525 doesn't have front camera, you'll need to install cab files from other ExtROM to enable video calling (I used TyTN ExtROM on mine).
* Left button is mapped to push-to-talk application still unavailable on the rom, so it is unuseful. You can map it to any other APP using 3rd party software to remap hardware buttons.
Enjoy
if i upgrade to the cingular 8525 rom, will my tytn still be unlocked? or will it be locked to cingular?
It will still be unlocked. The network lock doesn't depend on the rom you're using.
Guys
Any ideas as to who/what website released this ROM?

What is the OS build?

OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0), so it's AKU 2.3 as all the other available ROMs until now.
i just installed the cingular 8525 rom! and now U CANT DO A LOCK IN ON GSM OR WCDMA MODE! (that menu been removed!)
i going back to the Imate rom!
Trying it now, thanks for the link! It also seems that the MMS limit is increased to 600K!

I am on the cingular rom, and my menu exists. Go to:
Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Band -> Select your network type. The options are Auto, GSM and WCDMA.
If you don't have it by default probably it's on the ExtROM, as I said I installed the ExtROM from TyTN, try it.

the "Band" tap/menu is missing. probably it' on the ExtRom from Tytn. how do i install the Tytn ExtRom? do u mind tell me? or u rather me search the FAQ?
Any comments as to the stability of this ROM on a TyTN?
Do we know what the different files in the EXT_ROM are for?

1) hard reset
2) do the usual alignment stuff, copy-paste, etc...
3) soft-reset before it starts installing the cingular ExtROM (customizations), you have 3 seconds
4) Unhide your extrom (you can also use fit4cat hermes tweaker for this)
5) Extract the contents of TyTN ExtROM to a folder in your miniSD card.
6) click on the CABs files you want to install, this is what I installed on mine:
From TyTN's ExtROM (on SD):
MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
MP_mHub_060630.CAB
MT_PC_Hermes_Qtek_WWE_060621.CAB
P_Generic_UI.CAB
PP_3-AP-Patch.CAB
PP_ace-certs.CAB
VT_Engine_23818_ext.CAB
From Cingular's ExtROM (unhided):
MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
MMS disapeared and I had to install the CAB 3 times, i used both from TyTN and from Cingular, then setup a default account settings and sent an MMS and received another (I sent it to myself from another mobile phone) and after that it stayed and no more problems with MMS.
I also installed the TyTN green theme (.tsk) because I like how it looks
Hope that helps.
Does the Cingular ROM or EXT_ROM contain the Cyberon VoiceDialer?
(I hope not!)
Yes, it's on the ROM but it's not mapped to any hardware button.
interesting.. BAND selection tab (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) is present in the ROM if Cingular extended ROM is not installed. it is being removed during Extended ROM installation procedure. more over, none of this Cingular CAB files are responsible for removing BAND selection (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) tab.
I have skipped Extened ROM installation, verified that BAND selection (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) band selector is still present and then installed all Cingular extended ROM cab files one by one. supprisingly enough - band selector is still there. there must be some other invisible configuration file in the extended rom. gprs connection is not auto configured either.
@superduper: probably you need to soft reset for the changes made by cab files to take effect. If you want to know which cab file disables it you have to install one, soft-reset, install another one, soft-reset and so on...
never mind
here is. i have selected the line in registry that needs to be changed to:
dword:00000001
default value for this line is : dword:00000000

UPDATE: phone settings.reg file is attache to this message. one needs simply import this file into device registry. no soft reset is required.
P.S. It would be goos if fit4cat will add this feature to his hermes tweaker.
Great finding
Guys, is Cing Video now activated and available as an option?
Thanks.
Is it me or does the ExtROM Unlocker only unhide the Extended ROM on this build - leaving it still read-only / protected?
I tried with fit4cat and the Hermes MountExtROM.cab but no luck modifing contents.

Does anyone know if migrating the Cingular Ext.Rom from 8125 to TyTN will work?
Most probably it will, but you will lose cingular customizations.
If you don't like it, you can always go back to cingular.
Pof,
Thanks for your answer but you might have misunderstood, I wasnt looking at leaving Cingular, just transfering my existing Cingular extRom to my new TyTN so I can keep use their customization on my new phone.
Thanks
AJH
Oh sorry, I didn't read abut the 8125... which HTC device is it? if it's a wm5 you can just get the cingular settings CAB from the extROM and run it on your TyTN.
I got my vodafone spain settings from a cab in Universal ExtROM without problems
im also trying to do this. could someone point me to where the cingular ext rom is and how i would go about applying it to the tytn>
Thanks pof,
Its an HTC TyTN. I just got it in the mail at home and want to be sure I understand as much as possible when I move my programs and customizations over from my 8125.
Blues,
I havent done it either, I was going to use the instructions from the wiki (hytn and 8125) on removing and installing the ext.rom.
I will let you know, probably tomorrow since I have to charge the device first.
Thanks
AJH
ok, cingular 8125 == htc Wizard. Right?
You can extract the cingular customizations from the ExtRom:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Extended_Roms/cingular-ExtROM.zip
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Wizard/Extended_Roms/Cingular_8125_108-ExtRom.rar
Since it is a WM5, there should be no problem on installing the needed CABs on the TyTN, you just have to know which ones have the operator settings, do not install the rest of the cabs found on the ExtROM.
Hope that helps
pof you the man.
Thanks a lot.
AJH
Guys...let me know if you get this to work. I wasn't able to get the E icon for edge to work after copying the Cingular Edge .cab files over. It continues to show G for GPRS.

Hello :
How can i upgrade my HTC TyTN with the imate rom ?
I only get 99 % ....everithing works after that ....except mms... that ive notice.
Any ideas ?
Luis
The upgrade stopped because same cabs need a Imate IMEI....
You need to put the extended memory in the card, soft reset when the fist installation stop, an install manually tha cabs yuo need from the card.
I solved also the MMS problem.
I suggest to use fit4cat tweaker to show the TyTn EXT_Rom content. Save the MMS cab on your computer, then Upgrade to I-Mate rom (look at Wiki, http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades )
During I-mate personalizzation the phone will "freeze"... don't worry just soft reset. just config date, time zone, international setting, then install the TyTn mms cab an configure the MMS
TyTN MMS Ext. Rom CAB File
As I was not aware that the iMate MMS CAB was only installed to specific IMEI devices I did not save the TyTN Ext. Rom to my PC before installing the imate JasJam ROM.
Does anyone have a copy of the TyTN MMS CAB file to save me having to re-install the HTC (QTEK) ROm and then save the file and then install the JASJAM Rom?
Thanks
Mike
Re: TyTN MMS Ext. Rom CAB File
all extended roms are here:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms
Thanks for that -
I have seen how to unhide the Extended ROM folder and have succesfully done this, however if I try to delete some of the unwanted CAB files I get a message saying the disk is write protected and if I try to copy the TyTN CAB files to the Extended ROM I get he same message - does anyone know how to 'unlock the Extended ROM?
Thanks
#EDIT#
I have installed the CAB in the Temp folder and run it from there - I know have MMS, I then re-ran the Orange CAB and it installed all the correct MMS Settings. I would still like to remove the unwanted CAB files from Extended Sotrage and install the TyTN ones I do want, so if anyone has any idea I would appreciate it. Thanks Mike
If i soft reset before any customizations after a hard reset....and i install cabs from extended rom manually. Will this take up more main memory than if it had installed/customized on its own?

Solution to MMS Problem in TyTN->I-Mate Rom Upgrade
1) download from http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtendedRoms TyTN Extended Rom
2) Unrar the file, copy the file named MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.cab anywere in your TyTN
3) Run in your phone the file MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.cab and MMS will be in your phone again.
4)if isn't the same used for internet, config the MMS access point (APN) in start menu>settings>connections tab, then connections icon, click the tab Advanced, select network, New, add and conf My MMS network (APN, Username, Password)
5) Go to Messaging, MMS and config MMS parameters (gateway....)
6) Try your Internet UMTS-GPRS connection, if your phone try to connect using the MMS connections, tap on settings and restore My ISP connection as default for internet. (Stupid software, it automatically try to use the last network configured...... )
Thkns but already try with the cab from dopod and and htc.
I upgrade again with complete upgrade with rom form htc and is working.
To bad o cant use imate.
Need some advice folks. Currently on an assignment in Australia and have just upgraded my Cingular 8125 to a Dopod 838 Pro. I'm with Telstra. Problem is any time I reboot the phone, the Network Wizard executes and errors out. Fine. I manually load Network settings but then i find out a couple of hours later that my manual settings have just disappeared.
I've scoured this site and see that I can do a variety of things, including loading the latest JasJam ROM. Regardless, whats the issue and short of doing a ROM upgrade (did plenty on my 8125, so it doesnt frighten me) what can i do?
Please advise.

Theres a file on DopodAsia's wedsite for Tesltra users, it enables newer settings. You put it in your MyDocs folder on the Dopod, and basically boot up. It uses the file, updates Network Wizard and will work properly. Its due to Tesltra's codes changing and the launch of NextG.
GL
You wont be able to get these files unless you have a dopod serial to register with. I would suggest maybe you flash the newest telstra rom instead of the 838

hmmm weird. try again with attachment for cab file for telstra.
installs other stuff so beware like a proxy changes ie default and wap. all can be undone but gives u ur settings.
just saw this...
after my last post maybe helps u
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=284812
it is ur device and australia specific.
Thanks folks for so many rapid responses... I was able to get the Network Wizard "fix" from Dopod's Australian service center yesterday. Unfortunately, I purchased the phone from ebay and the previous owner had already registered the serial number, so it's not letting me re-register. I've called Dopod directly to proces my registration, but they've not called me back yet.
simon_darley: will that .cab file set all the required settings on WM6? (I am considering upgrading to WM6, and a Cab file with all the Telstra settings would be nice and easy)
Does it add any of the Telstra software?
telstra aust cabs
the previous cab was the old one from the original rom released when the phone was sold and was incomplete so far as mms and other settings.
attached here is the latest from a new imate rom compulsory for telstra users and in conjunction with telstra proposed phone/data upgrade of their system should work more effectively.
i also use the telstra recommended imate radio upgrade 1.38.30.1 i think it is.
all of which runs perfectly now on wm6 including the wm6 media streaming which imate wm5 requires pvplayer as ms didnt release media streaming until wmK.
so now it works perfectly with foxtel video streaming and in 2 wks should allow simultaneous voice data connectivity which the telstra hw upgrade shouldfix for us.
i also include the my place cab which allows foxtel and videos to stream without using the download mb limits. so if u access foxtel via my place over next g it doesnt count towards the mb usage.
i have all the cabs from the upgrade and post them here for what i used only but in reality u may only need 1 or 2. i have all but installed only 5.
the ext rom in full is on xda dev if u want to download. i dont really know wot the other 3 do so installed and didnt cause any harm.
hmmm something odd nxt post should contain attachments... lost wifi...! bak soon
hmmm truble upload from pda apologies... wifi ... trying again

Sorry, I didn't catch what this cab does for the JasJam.

I have succesfully SuperCID'ed and removed SIM lock from mine ERA GSM Ameo using Olipro's unlocker. BTW I did from Vista Ultimate with all newest updates installed. The only issue was I had to start the unlocker manually.
Everything but external keyboard works ok. I can not use ":" - because ";" is displayed. I had to use on screen keyboard I must admit I have better GSM signal (I had 1.32.00 radio before). Is the newest radio from X7501 much better?
I would like to move on to WM6 but before I have to make backup of my ROM. Where can I get any utility to do it? I already found uploaded ERA GSM ExtROM on ftp, but I have to have possibility to switch to polish WM5 if something will not work as it should. Or maybe someone can post a link to1.12.118.6 polish ROM?
Try to edit sym.txt with proper symbols .
Here I have a bunch of boring ROMs for your StarTrek. I call them boring because they are devoid of any personalization, customization, or 3rd party apps other than what comes with a shipping ROM. These ROMs are OS only, will not change your initial splash or radio (but it does change the operator splash). A text file ReadMe.txt in the download contains brief instructions on how to flash this ROM. Apparently the 3.06 IPL/SPL in QTEK ROMs is broken and cannot recover via MicroSD so I would recommend updating to 4.01.0001 prior to flashing any of these ROMs, although that in itself can be risky (see below for download). Enjoy, and flash at your own risk!
Details
5.2.1711 (Build 18170.0.5.1) Core OS (SYS) is ported from T-Mobile Shadow Feb. '08 update.
OEMAPPS and OEMOPERATORS are straight from CWS 4.1.502.5 ROM. It has the latest camera and apps.
OEMDrivers specific to StarTrek are the latest, from 4.1.502.5 ROM. Some common libraries are from TMO Shadow ROM.
OEM Edition for AT&T 3125 - The same old, boring, Cingular-branded ROM you're used to, only ported to WM6. My objective with the Boring Edition is a ROM that's indistinguishable from what an OEM would put on a shipping device. This is based on Cingular ROM v4.1.502.5 with many changes made throughout to work with the WM6 core, but hopefully the changes are transparent. It comes with all the bloatware and apps that came with the original Cingular ROM. If you want lots of storage and free RAM, this is NOT the ROM for you!
Adobe Reader LE 2.0 (new, from TMO Shadow, replaces original ClearVue PDF)
Office Mobile (new, replaces original ClearVue Office suite)
Windows Live/Live Messenger (new, replaces original MSN Messenger)
Microsoft Voice Command (replaces Cyberon Voice Dial)
English-only xT9 (new, from HTC S730 "Wings", dated Sep 7, 2007, replaces older T9)
Esmertek Java (new, from TMO Shadow update, replaces discontinued Tao Intent Java)
Cingular bloatware, customization, setup, and theme
Clock/carrier block of Cingular theme changed to standard WM6 style (I liked the bigger clock).
SecurityOff (required, because some apps can't install with it on)
Clean ROM WM6 - Similar to the above (same drivers), but lacking Cingular customization and bloatware. Does NOT have Microsoft Office or Adobe Reader. This will leave more storage available for 64MB devices like QTEK 8500 or iMate Smartflip. As this is an unbranded ROM, you will need to manually set up your GPRS and Proxy connections.
Windows Live/Live Messenger (new)
English-only xT9 (dated Sep 7, 2007)
Esmertec Java
Cyberon Voice Dial
SecurityOff (required, because some apps can't install with it on)
Neo Edition Clean WM6 ROM - Same as above, only added Neo theme from the T-Mobile Shadow. No other customizations.
CREDITS
Thanks to pArtizAn (Erofich), Alex[DFR], Strik3r, and Chymmylt for use of the WM6 XIP in early versions of my ROMs. Without it, my first ROM would have been delayed 2-3 weeks.
Known Bugs - Applies to all versions.
Analog Clock 2 and Analog Clock 3 on external display don't look right. NOT a WM6 bug because the original Cingular WM5 has the same problem!
Possible xT9 can't backspace on some websites bug.
Roll your own! Here are the SYS, OEM, and ROM folders for the Clean Edition ROM. Add this to your favorite kitchen. RUU included.
For experienced ROM builders only!

Other Updates
These are from the latest Cingular ROM, newest for STARTREK that I'm aware of. I have tested these and they worked fine on my phone but I am not responsible if you take the risk and they damage your phone! Flash at your own risk!
Download IPL/SPL 4.01.0001 CAUTION: Flashing IPL and SPL could kill your phone... permanently!

Prerequisites
Your device must be CID unlocked! See this thread.

Change Log
Mar 6, 2008 - OEM version, single press of RECORD button activates Voice Command. Should support BT activation now. All clean versions now use the same animated HTC splash. Shows HTC logo on outside screen instead of blank (thanks Erofich). I figured how to port XIPs so all ROMs now use my own XIPs ported from scratch. Added Neo and WM6.1 editions.
Feb 21, 2008 - Fixed Vibrate in Profiles bug, possibly fixed Microsoft Live can't connect bug, updated some files (no longer have to press OK after cold boot setup), newer OS build (18170.0.5.1), newer Esmertec Java, Sim Manager, changed Cyberon Voice Dial to MS Voice Command on Boring version.
Feb 18, 2008 - Changed Tao Intent Java to Esmertec Java, T9 to xT9 on all versions. Added download links to latest radio and IPL/SPL.
Feb 16, 2008 - Added kitchen files for Clean Edition.
Feb 15, 2008 - Added Clean Edition. Changes to Boring Edition: T9 problem fixed, Start menu now allows scrolling (no need to press More), SecurityOff to fix programs can't install problem.
Feb 13, 2008 - Original Release of Boring ROM.

Extras
Clean ROM a little too clean? Here are some add-ons in CAB form.
Adobe Reader LE 2.0 Build 288531 (from T-Mobile Shadow)
Neo Black & Blue Theme - Only works on ROMs with Neo integrated. Not just a simple color change, I tried to copy the mockup of T-Mobile Black. It looks almost identical to the mockup on my PC, but unfortunately the conversion from 16.7m to 65k colors results in some false contouring.
thanks man!!
does gprs work in this one?

Changes
Behind-the-scenes changes were numerous, but visible changes are minimal (although I did make a few):
Office Mobile replaces ClearVue apps. Most devices that used ClearVue in WM5 were changed to Office Mobile in WM6 so monkey see, monkey do.
Adobe Reader LE 2.0 from TMO Shadow replaces ClearVue PDF.
Clock/carrier block of Cingular theme changed to standard WM6 style (I liked the bigger clock).
Known Bugs
Analog Clock 2 and Analog Clock 3 on external display don't look right. NOT a WM6 bug because the original Cingular WM5 has the same problem!
OS only, will not change your initial splash or radio (but it does change the operator splash).

If there is much interest, I can make a cleaner, unbranded version of this ROM or a vanilla kitchen.

Will this work on i-mate SmarkFlip (out of box device without any hacks)
Yes, GPRS works, but I use T-Mobile so I had to add a connection to T-Mobile GPRS. It should work with Cingular/AT&T as-is.
It should work on a SmartFlip, but I'm not sure if you need to CID unlock first.
Downloading and installed...
Attempt 1: Read everything within the Word file. Installed right from the RomUpdate program in the root directory of your
WM6 update. Didn't work, so I will attempt what you have in the Readme text file in my next attempt....
Attempt 2: The Update Utility program says version 3.12.3.1 on the title while the pictures you have in the word file says
version 2.99. Also, when I go through to update ROM, it verifies my current Image version as 4.1.502.5,
I click Update and the next screen it indicates that it will be updating from my current version to the
new version of 1.00.000.0. Then, a minute or so later, I get the following message:
ERROR [270] : UPDATE ERROR Image file is corruprted. Please check your Update Utility.
Do you know how I could resolve this matter because you do not list error 270
within your troubleshooting material? Your UpDate program is not even the same version!
Vista Home, Cingular 3125 unlocked with current released Rom version. So, what am I missing here?
Sorry, I shouldn't have included the Word doc, it's the standard doc that came with the RUU and happened to be in the folder at the time.
Are you using SoftSPL? You MUST use the SoftSPL, it won't work to just run the RUU. The doc I wrote is ReadMeWM6.txt.
You also need to CID unlock according to the sticky thread.

@kumar00455,
GnatGoSplat noted that this should work on any StarTrek, but there is something you should be aware of. In the past, it seems like a lot of people that have tried a Cingular ROM on a StarTrek that is not a 3125 model have not liked it, because they ended up with too little storage memory. This is because Cingular has loaded a ton of large crapware programs on their ROMs. Now, that isn't a big problem for the 3125, because it is actually different hardware from all other StarTreks - it has double the storage memory (128MB) all the other StarTreks (which have 64MB). Since GnatGoSplat has tried to make this just like a Cingular ROM, with all the added programs, you may find you have the same problem. However, I do think there is a thread here somewhere that talks about how to clean all the crapware off of a Cingular 3125 ROM and reclaim some storage memory.
@GnatGoSplat,
Thanks for putting this together - I think I will try it soon on my 3125! I would be very interested in a cleaned-up version and a kitchen as well. And of course, many thanks to Erofich and everyone else who worked on getting WM6 on the StarTrek. I thought we would never see this day!
Oh yeah, I forgot the 3125's have double the storage memory!
I'll make a slimmer, cleaner ROM as soon as enough people have tried this one to confirm it doesn't have any significant problems.
What apps are essential to keep in a cleaner ROM and which can go? What are typical apps that come on a Smartflip or 8500?
device PIN lock working?
Can anyone who has tried this ROM tell me if the security PIN lock works correctly without any problems? I sync my 3125 with my corporate Exchange server, and our IT people enforce a device PIN lock requirement through the Exchange server. So I have to enter a 6 digit PIN if the phone has been idle over an hour. Anyway, I'm interested in flashing this ROM, but if there is any problem with that functionality in this ROM, it would be a deal-killer for me... Thanx...

I do like your approach here, though. Start with something as much like the carrier ROM as possible until you know that it's pretty stable, then put it on a nice diet to make it lean and mean. Makes good sense to me...

Put it in the root of your device /not/ Windows. Start softspl.lnk as it says in the manual
I tried to use the program you directed the user to transfer. Everytime I clicked on it, I would get an error which stated that the link's program could not be found.
Don't get me wrong over here, I read the directions a few times and did everything you instructed. I am pretty good with directions and I am not one for doing things my own way. If I could help in anyway, just say something. I have alot of times on my hands and I am educated in matters, like, programming on my home desktop.
I made several attempts, I still get the same error, time and time again.
Are you trying to run the correct SPL? The one that looks like a square with a blue bar on top is the correct one. The one that looks like a piece of paper with the corner folded and a Microsoft icon in the center is NOT the right one.
Also, copy ONLY the files and NOT the whole folder. All these files need to be on ROOT folder of your device. If you're using ActiveSync, when you open your device icon, it defaults to My Documents so you have to go to My Device.
Okay, there we go. I copied the entire folder. Sorry. :O(
I'll make a new attempt in just a few.
UPDATE: I tried it, and now instead of an error, it just doesn't do anything. Sorry.
GnatGoSplat -
Thanks man, this ROM has been perfect so far. Just like my previous cingular rom with WM5. You did a superb job. This is just what I was looking for. Thanks Again!
I am waiting for the slimmer ROM since my device is teh European QTEK 8500. I am waiting impatiently
