So is it safe to assume, from all the posts that are disappearing about Crossbow's inhabitance of the Hermes & Mercury platforms, that we cannot yet expect to be able to upgrade (albeit unofficially) to Crossbow OS?
rumors are the the hermes crossbow implementation floating around recently was incomplete. I'm still holding out hope that a version will surface somewhere. I'll be at MEDC in a few months. If there's a final version that runs on hermes, I'll see it there for sure.
May i suggest you read here before you go

Weren't you at the CES trying to grab a rom Sleuth?
There was no Crossbow at the show that I could see.
At least not on the Hermes...
@Midget_1990, I was aware of the ROM dumper, however, it seems that all the Crossbow questions have died down regarding the Hermes.
microsoft are using the hermes as the depeloment platform for crossbow.
Exactly... which is why I expect to see this at MEDC.
one of our vista team has it on his hermes, have asked for a copy of the rom..... will see if it appears
Check first to see if it has all the office components
Yeah, just like they were using the BA for WM5 development. Hmmm... I wonder what device will be used for WM7 development....

Nope, they were using Himalaya for WM5. And it was reported on the forums that probably Universal was used for Crossbow.
oops... my error... apologies...

That WM6 is compiled for TiOmap 850, though they are both arm based I do not believe it will work on the samsung system.
damn that sucks thanks for the info man i appreciate it
it will work with 8125 or no
wrong device
This is for wizard devices, won't work on your hermes!
and if i read correctly there is now hermes wm6 rom floating around
just universal and wizard.

I think you meant NO not "now" it makes a big different for us.
SDinsider posted pics of crossbow running on a TyTN. They're in the Crossbow thread.
I can confirm crossbow is compiled for the hermes as I saw it running on an 8525 at a recent microsoft launch event. it will probably never be available for us though since I saw that the hermes successor is already announced with the main difference being that its gps antenna has been connected.
Hey, that's marketing for ya. The hermes has the chips, but the next gen lets them work, progress.
Well I love my hermes, best PPC/phone I've had yet, but I'd shell out more money in a heartbeat for the next gen with integrated GPS and crossbow.
You said that it's announced? What's it called and where can I read about it??
Thanks for any direction!

GUys, every week I have a business meeting with the Windows Mobile BG @ BMicrosoft Brazil, and every time I still keep asking for the Hermes WM6 ROM, because there is one for sure and I don´t care if it will be official released form Htc, just keep on trying, we can do better customizations here at xda dev.
Windows Mobile 6, previously known as Crossbow, will be officially announced next Monday.

My Hopes for a Official WM6 ROM for Crossbow kinda got crushed with the new CINGULAR ROM. So this news might be No news for us HERMES folks for a while until POF and the gang come up with a method to cook ROMS for HERMES.

I was talking about being able to flash cooked ROMs, sorry, not a Crossbow release.
Engadget Article
Nice little quote from that article.
Now, a few more bits on where 6 is headed:
* T-Mobile is indeed putting it on the Dash ("in the coming months"), still no word on the MDA
* Orange's SPV E650 (HTC)
* AT&T, Chunghwa, Sprint, Telefónica, and Verizon
* Dopod, HP, LG (more on that in a few), Moto, Palm, Samsung, SoftBank, Toshiba, and Vodafone
* Probably a lot more, too.

Let's get some rumors and discussion going here. I definitely want to flash my phone with WM6.
Anyone heard anything about a potential release/leak?
I know I heard somewhere that they are/were using the StrTrk as a test device for the Smartphone (standard?) edition of WM6, but haven't heard much else of it....
No news here but I've heard the same as you, the StrTrk was used as a test phone for WM6. I've emailed HTC Support but who knows if they'll ever reply.
I think with the new rumor of the StarTrk replacement, HTC S420/Erato, there isn't going to be a WM6 unless you get it from a custom build or from another platform/vendor. Past experiences show that vendors would rather us buy a whole new phone. But....This gives you something to look forward to. Just in a new version. IMHO - A much better upgrade in the clamshell design.
Thread started here on the new phone - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=297847
Enjoy -
And from most accounts - HTC isn't going to update their pre-existing hardware to WM6. There have been a few rumors stating they will but from most of the official responces from HTC it's not looking likely. Our best bet is to hope somebody releases a leaked test rom and then the cooking can start

seems we can port wm6 to startrek. we have several nk.exe files of wm6 for omap 850, other drivers are compatible from wm5. you only need patched spl with disabled nbh check, as hermes does. anyhow having no startrek i won't do it, i just give you a hint

I wonder if Des, Olipro or Pof have a StrTrk - they'd be the most likely to be able to do such a thing I think
Is there even any smartphones that have WM6 available or running yet?
Yup, there's a WM6 ROM floating about for the Dash / S620 so I hear...
Hm...so if we can get our hands on one of their ROMs, could it theoretically be adapted to the StrTrk?
Maybe but I've yet to see any cooked roms for the StrTrk (I'm hoping it's close enough to the TyTN that it's tools can be modified).
I guess I see two real problems with that. First, as I said, no real kitchen to cook in (unless I'm missing something which is quite possible)
and two, it is MUCH easier to cook a rom intended for your device then to port it from one device to another, while I suspect it would be do-able (assuming that we get the proper driver support - not nesc the same as WM5) it won't be easy to port from one device to another - remember there's some specialized hardware on the StrTrk - out screen etc (while WM6 is supposed to support external displays, I think it will require a driver).
By all means, please if you have the brains and ability, cook away, I look forward to your rom I certainly am no where near the smartest guy in these forums and am sure there are a number of people here more the capable of doing so. If somebody sent Pof, Des, Dutty and Olipro and some others a StrTrk we'd see some good tools in here in no time
That said, I'm still hoping a mystery rapidshare link appears
I hear ya...unfortunately, I don't know anymore than you do
There will be a high probability that WM 6.0 for HTC StrTrk is let out, in fact same the same WM 5.0 with AKU 3.0 and the changed interface.
If has appeared WM 5.0 AKU 3.0 from Cingular that is hope!
Hi to all! I've moto mpx200. Where i can find WM6 for it?
I would like to know why there are no cooked ROMs for the star trek.
Is it purely not enough owners? Or is there some other reason?
I think I remember reading that HTC had some kind of protection against cooked ROMs? How come only in this phone?

At the moment, there is no way to bypass the SPL lock on this phone. SIM and SuperCID unlock are no problem, but to flash a modified ROM for this phone, like all others requires either a patched SPL (bootloader) or a completely modified SPL that ignores signautre authentication of the ROM.
Some of the forum members believe that an SPL mod is possible, but testing it comes at the expense of losing a phone (bricking it). We have half a dozen or so forum members willing to take the risk for the good of the cause, so we are waiting on the developers who think they can do it to roll out some trial plans.
Rest assured, once the SPL is patched or modified, this phone will get WM6 and cooked ROMs shortly thereafter. Stay tuned. . . . . . .
How come all of the other phones it is so quick on? Is this just one of the less popular ones? It has been out for quite a while! The Kaiser was all ready to go super fast! Well, it is good that it will soon be possible!
I am thinking of getting either a Cingular 2125 (HTC Typhoon, just a Tornado - WiFi) or a Cingular 3125, since I can get it them for cheap from Premier. Was wondering which to get!
Typhoon and Tornado already have WM6. You may want to look at those. I have a Typhoon and have it running Sp3Dev's WM6 with good success. I sometimes use this a back-up phone to my Dopod U1000.

Hmm actually the 2125 isn't a typhoon. I do not quite know what it is. Maybe just a tornado - wifi? Maybe it doesn't have its own codename since that is exactly what it is?

Here is a step by step.
http://www.htcwiki.com/page/Hacking+HTC+Mogul?t=anon
Print it, read it, read it, read it, gather up what you need, read it.
Then go for it.
Moguls came with WM5?
The Sprint Mogul came with wm6 when it was launched, but Sprint was also the last carrier to get the Titan.
My TELUS P4000 shipped with wm5 nearly six months before the Sprint Mogul release.
To the original poster: Do yourself a favor and get a good, solid wm6.1 ROM. Going from wm5 > wm6.5 is a bit of a heavy leap. Not only is wm6.5 not quite mature, it has higher RAM requirements which [according to MS] should be 128 megs.
I'm sure that requirement will eventually find its face busted in by xda-devs, but for the moment you could save yourself alot of disappointment by choosing wm6.1.
TPlane has made a pretty stable 6.5. Although they ask for more RAM in te requirements, it seems to be running no more than 6.1.
As for WM5 poster, perhaps it may be time to consider upgrading the hardware. If you have the hardware upgrade credits.

The mogul that shipped with wm5 is (i think) the same hardware that came with 6. i've never seen 1st/2nd gen on the device. both of my alltel titans just have PPC6800 on the sticker with the esn.
@OP, read up some. flashing your device isn't as scary as it looks
