As your ROM is quite old (the first afaik), I would suggest an upgrade to
OS 1.72.00WWE
Radio 1.17.00
ExtROM Whatever contents you want.
To make things easier, I created a upgrade package for T-Mobile branded XDA2 / MDAII devices. Search for RUU172901*
Remind that you should only upgrade when your device is not working as it should be and/or if you need extra functionalitrybthat is supplied in a newer ROM (like Bluetooth in 1.72.00)
According to the Wiki, the latest shipped WWE unbranded rom is 1.18.255.106, and my phone has the .108, so I just uploaded the upgrade package for that ROM (which I got from the support site (one of two here in Finland)) to the upload section of the ftp, in case someone wants it.
This version is for the "Finland and the Baltics" area, and the phone itself has the Scandinavian keyboard layout.

Thanks for the shipped rom, it is exactly the same ROM version 1.18.255.3 and the same radio version 1.03.03.10, the only change is on the shipped Extended ROM version from 1.18.255.106 to 1.18.255.108.
I've updated the wiki and moved the file to safe heaven:

All roms are 'branded', also the HTC TyTN rom is branded by HTC.
Acording to the info *now* on the wiki (it will change on the future), the newest ROM is Cingular 1.34.502.1, which is dated 2006-09-21. This ROM has radio version 1.16.00.00, but the i-mate ROM dated 2006-09-08 has a newer radio version 1.20.31.10 which has been extracted so you can flash it separately if you want it on your device. The latest AKU build for the Hermes is on Cingular's ROM 1.31.502.1 which shows OS Build 14989.2.6.0, this means this is an AKU 2.6 while all the other available ROMs have AKU 2.3.
To remove the operator branding and have an 'unbranded' rom you just need to softreset before the ExtROM is installed after the device is hard-reseted.
You can install Cingular's 1.34 or 1.31 ROM (depending if you prefere AKU 2.3 or AKU 2.6) with I-mate 1.20 radio and HTC 1.18.255.106 ExtROM which will add HTC's tytn branding to your phone. This should be "the latest" rom now.

I successfully downgraded, CID unlocked and then upgraded to swap from Swedish to English, this worked like a CHARM!!
BUT!! The keyboard hacks does NOT seem to work,, heeeeeeeeeeeeeelp!!
@Pof's quote below
"To remove the operator branding and have an 'unbranded' rom you just need to softreset before the ExtROM is installed after the device is hard-reseted."
is this mean -
that i need to do first is perform the Soft reset after i have completed or successful flash a ROM from the WIKI shiped ROM list,
then make the unhide ExtRom, then remove the ExtRom operator brand, from the Extended Rom folder, then install the "unbranded" ExtRom (execute the unbrand CAB file), then the last step is do the Hard reset.
please advice.

Hi everybody,
I screwed up my HTC X7500 while doing a ROM upgrade. I would like to reinstall a WM5 ROM (English) and not VM6 latest update.
The original WM5 version was:
OS 5.1.465 (Build 15673.3.3.1)
ROM: 1.25.405.2
ExtROM: 1.25.405.103
Is there any WM5 ROM Update available somewhere?
Thanks so much for your help!
John
Hello, I have a softbank HTC X01HT with WM6 CE OS 5.2.968 (Build 17217.0.0.0)
Is it recommended to upgrade to the latest version or am I ok with that? One thing I don't have is WAP2
When You upgrade, is it a new install? or really an upgrade? (you have to reinstall custom software?)
Thank you!
EDIT:
ROM: 3.23.0.0
RadioVersion 1.34.00.10
Protocol Version: 32.67.7020.10H
If you are happy with what you have stay with it.
It is a reinstall, not an upgrde. You will need to reinstall apps and settings.
If the new version will give you a feature you want (or if you are obsessed with having the latest) then upgrade.
thanks
Well, the only feature I feel I need is WPA2 so I don't have to change my home network to WPA. Can I upgrade that (what?) with out a reinstall?
thanks again for you answer
