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.
Read the stickies - its already happened .

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.

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...

I'd like to hear how that goes. I'm looking at getting a Hermes with T-Mobile, but only if I can get WM6.0 on it.

then stays there for 10 mins and then i get an error

Please somone help me i know somone has to knwo what this is or how to fix it
THanks in advance
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.
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

Heh, that's exactly what I've been hoping for....just hopefully someone gets their hands on one...
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

why not try the build of it... hint hint- i will try it on mine.
i'd be happy to try it out and give feedback to improve it!
I will be more than willing to try it on my cingular 3125.

I can build image for you.. but you need to ask DES to patch your SPL to allow unsigned code
I would be glad to give it a test as well.

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?
There seem to be a lot of different WM6 variants kicking around this forum which seem to require various scary-sounding unlocking/tweaking to install.
What I cannot find is the latest estimates on when/whether the official HTC WM6 will be available? The HTC web site basically says "contact your operator" (in my case T-Mobile UK).

t-mobile uk are not releasing wm6.
So install it from this site - no unlocking needed, it just works on UK Ameos
Thanks Confucious!!

Hey Confucious,
I never realized how supportive you had been to the Athena Project until I visited Modaco today (hadn't been there in quite a while ). But seriously...Thank you. It's not just your financial contribution that helped this get off the ground, but your commitment and belief in the Project.
Nice one mate.

HTC TyTN device.
The TyTN becomes the first HTC device to get the upgrade, with the HTC P3300,
S620 and Advantage also scheduled to receive the upgrade from August."

that was the idea as wm6 was infront of you when you go in the athena forum you got
1.athena
2.athena upgrade
3.athena accessories
4.athena mobile 6
please read and search before you post, i intentionaly gave you the asian link as there was no way you should have miss wm6 for athena.
good luck upgrading
Cant use this if you have a Non HTC version
I just thought i would tell people who have a Ameo or any other operater supplied version of the HTC Athena that you cant use the HTC site for the WM6 upgrade. You have to give them the IMEI number and if it aint one from there company it wont accept.
Does anyone have a downloaded version of this that they could add to the site or could they send me a link to there HTC Authentic version of WM6.
Thank you
