Has anyone tried this?
I mean the hardware you could say is identical except for the keyboard the hermes has....
I know the trinity has a standalne GPS unit as well, but it is currently not enabled, but will be early next year. THe hermes also has the same chipset as the trinity, so maybe it can ebale GPS on the hermes.
Dont know, just speculating, any ideas?
Anyone willing to have a go flashing their hermes with TRINITY rom? Trinity ROM is AKU3.0

I have been experiencing problems with hand-overs whilst in the 3G mode.
This started about 4 weeks ago and affects all Radio ROM's on WM5 and WM6.
What happens is that when moving from one cell area to the next, the signal is lost and the phone disconnects. One has to then force a connection again. This does not happen if the phone is set in the GSM mode.
The problem is network related and well known to Leaf Wireless.
They informed me that a WM5 upgrade would be posted at the end of this week which included the fixed Radio ROM.
They will however not be including this Radio in their WM6 upgrade to be issued at a later stage. ( To protect the sales of the comming Kaiser?)
Is this fair treatment to hand out to their loyal customers?
So your phones that were purchased from January on, will not benefit from the ugraded OEM's and fixes on the WM6 release.
I was planning on upgrading to a Kaiser, but after waiting patiently for a better ROM for sooooo long, and now this news - no chance!!
I expected better for a device costing +/- R8000 ($1,100)
As far as I know, radio firmware do not depend on the OS. You would normaly be able to extract the radio version from the WM5 rom and flash it on your WM6 device.
If they really change the way the OS interact with the radio, it is really screwed; but I am very doubtfull about it
basilrsa, are you currently on WM5 or a cooked WM6 (or maybe the official Asia one)?
I have never really experienced a disconnect problem when switching cells, but more of a "data hanging" issue, ie. it will show it is still connected, but no data is flowing. This has been on WM5 (Pre-AKU3 radio and AKU3 radio). I am currently on 1.48, and it seems much better. I see you are on Vodacom ... they have been having problems with that for a long time now

Thanks for your view, it is appreciated.
Yes, I will be able to extract the Radio from the WM5 release and flash it to my device.
The problem is that many users in SA want their warranty intact. By altering the standard ROM's they void their cover.
The point is how can they provide the new Radio with WM5 and not WM6 which they intend to release, but with a buggy Radio!

Thanks,
See my signature for my current setup (WM6 - Sleuth and Radio1.48)
The problem does exist as a new Radio attached to WM5 will be released at the end of this week.
The post above will explain why I am pi**ed off.

please post it if you manage to extract it !!!
I don´t flashing
ftp://[email protected]/Hermes/HERM_Radio_Only_1.56.10.12_GPS_CustomRUU.rar
is this the newest one? anyone have any info on this radio version?
is it only for tynt2 cos of gps?
That is a good possibility... I tried flashing on my Hermes 200 and received an invalid model id error... so I think it is for the Kaiser..
If memory serves - the Hermes and the Trinity have interchangable radio roms (you can flash the rom from one to the other and they work fine.) The Trinity has GPS hardware (I'm not going to touch the Hermes hardware) which was recently enabled by a radio update. The Trinity radios that end in .12 (I believe) have GPS functionality enabled. They work fine on the hermes but due to hardware/design issues - you will obviously not have GPS functionality on your hermes. The numbering looks right that it very well could be a hermes/trinity rom but I don't have my phone handy to test it right now
For HERMES or KAISER?
...and it seemed not for Hermes..
and if it is, why add GPS in the end?
Did this get removed? i can't find it now on the ftp site.
and I cannot find the file on ftp, either.
Have you remove it???
Could you give further indications?
tks!
It's for a Kaiser, Maybe it's in th Kaiser forum
anyone tried...flashed...
seems it's gonna be a risk...
is there a way to extract the gps radio? and just leave the regular wifi, bluetooth stack and gprs.
just a thought
We need a newer and better radio for the Athena. Currently using the 1.57 and it is ok, but my kaiser (which has many choices for radio) always gets a better GSM and Wcdma signal than the Athena.
I believe the 1.57 is a x7510 radio. I wonder when they actually are released, will they ship with a better radio or will more be available once the carriers get them?
The kaiser seems to be able to use radio from several devices. Does anyone know if there are any newer Athena radios in the future?
1.57 is the best now.
Can we put 1.57 in an old X7500 (with currently 1.38) ?

isn't this more of a hardware issue?
i know i can get a much better signal on my ameo than my boss can on his vario, i ended up patching his antenna on that with some foil

I cannot find a link for download 1.57, could you post please....
1.57 is the latest you tit.
besides, the Kaiser is an MSM7200 and hence a totally new firmware base, don't compare the two.
Oli, thanks for the put down. Do you ever answer a post without telling the poster he is an ass, tit, wanker or ****wad. Was not comparing the two, just the fact that it has more radios available.
Where and How can I install this? Is it possible that it could cure my BT problem where I get no audio from my x7501 (currently 1.47 radio)

Doubt it will fix your problem, but here is the thread for the 1.57 radio
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=372904
Hey i have a ROGERS HTC TyTN, i dont really care to unlock it or whatsoever. I know the first thing to do before modding is to load the hard SPL app on there to prevent bricking...
My question is after loading the Hard SPL APP what WM 6.1 Rom would you guys recommend using? i am looking for something which does come with any bugs or the least if possible. Also would upgrading wm 5 to 6.1 interfere with my radio?
And
Which Radio Stack would best suit my phone?
Thanks
anyone with help on this?
Just upgraded radio to this:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=408523
I will report the results and opinion today. about the 6.1 i suggest to look through the latest releases and see which ROM is for you. i usually prefer to go with light versions, as i have a stack of soft that i prefer. and most of the HTC apps can be downloaded from the http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=260
Alright i installed
HERMES WM6.1 ROM V17 - Build 20749.1.4.0
But When i listen to music over my earpiece it will play for a few minutes and stop playing until i turn the screen back on then it will go through that process again any help on that?
Hello,
I just picked up an old ATT 8525 because my 4 year old lost my old basic cell & and it looked like the 8525 was lots of fun to mess with (as per YouTube...consummate tinkerer)
Ive read a million threads here and elsewhere and surfed a thousand sites and cannot find WM6 4 HTC hermes/8525 (let alone 6.1 or 6.5)
-Is wm6 a big improvement over Wm5
-Is WM6 needed for all these great roms?
-Will WM6.5 (if I can find and load) work with these roms and this 85?
-And of course Where do you get either (not from HTC anymore).
Regards PK
OK, I hunted this down on rapid-share. Its about 56 megs and presumably will work on the 8525. Look right? pretty esoteric.
RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3.62.502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe
Is there any generic 6,1 or 6,5 for this.
Regards, PK
Mate, before flashing anything you need to Hard SPL your Hermes. Put Hard SPL V7 on from here - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722 , go to page 116, post 1160 to do it without using the PC, mostly.
Go to the WM06 section to find the newer roms, 6.5 are the latest.
But before you do any of that, you need to read the upgrade guide on how to flash your phone. Do a search, thats what its there for.
Cheers...
Thanks,
BTDT (been there done that). Read everything I can find here, there and everywhere, Have download the right stuf f I think (at it 3 days lad)
Since I posted I have found two versions of 6.0 for this phone. One (slightly larger) here somewhere I think. And one through a more circuitous route. Be interested to see the upgrade sequence going to Wm 5 to WM 6.5. Thanks for the tip.
Hermes_radio_only_1.56 has me a little confused, one post seams to say don't mess unless your life is at stake, but elsewhere, with Hard_spl_v7.5 (I guess) it's implied no prob. As best I can tell theres a trade off, newer radio, better reception, more battery life &, maybe worse camera performance. I'd like a balance. the camera is important to me.
'Nother bit of confusion, I have a new, unactivated sim card. Activate it first, unlock it, do all the other stuff first, does it matter?
Regards, PK
Ok I get it,
1) Install hard spl
2) Install first Att lite
3) Install WM 6.5....your favorite flavored ROM
4)Install different radio when you really know what your doing
PK
Yep, you got it, however, if you're using the sd card method to install the roms, its slightly different than installing Hard SPL V7, drop the steps using sspl.exe. You now have Hard SPL, you don't need to use Soft SPL anymore and its safer not to.
As you said, Don't mess around with the radio unless you know FOR SURE its gonna help. This is the one thing that practically guarantees a brick if it stuffs up during the flash.
It will effect signal reception, thats all. And always use sd card method to flash the radio rom.
Camera is not affected by Radio Rom. Look for a rom with a good camera cooked in. use the WM06 section of the Hermes forum to find WM06/6.1 & 6.5 roms.
Cheers...
Thanks D,
That was fun.
Oddly, my phone and $5.95 SIM card arrived simultaneously yesterday. Reread the HTC guide(s)., Ran through my recipe and it worked, The flashes went remakably easy and fast.
The only thing that still doesn't work is the camera zoom. Seems intuitive enough but I admitably have not read the manual.
I burned in "Golden globe 6.5". Little sluggish on this old 8525 but I'd expect that. Doesn't do all the tricks I've seen on Youtube but beats the holy 'ell out of stock WM 5 it came with.
Thanks for you help,
Regards, PK
hermes 6.5
Hey ...
If you want to try a lite 6.5 rom for hermes please try mine. it runs well even after touchflo is installed.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=495280
I'd also appreciate feedback and comparisons to other flavors.
Nice work, might do. I'm currently semi-bricked, been loading & re-loading roms about 3-4 a day.
Does it come in any color than green??
