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
(re Buzz's Grabit rom dumper)

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....
lol, iPhone

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.

Device radi: "Nothing stated"
device Ext:"Nothing stated"

then stays there for 10 mins and then i get an error
112 ce rom update 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!

The Titan is the successor to the Apache.
it´s alive
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?
Do you think athena will be loved as himalaya or universal?, So we will see all kind of stuff?
Yea that would be great if some of the Rom Cookers and utility Chef's were to purchase an Athena.
There are currently about 4 to 6 WM6 roms recently released in the Hermes forum. It seems a new one is released every couple of days for the last month. THis mostly in part to the new tools being released to update to SuperCID, change the Boot IPL, New Rom Kitchen's, etc.
I wish POF, Dutty, LSVW, Olipro, Buzz, Jmwright, JJ or someone would purchase or be donated an athena to create some great new ROM's as seen in the Universal, Wizard and Hermes Forums.
Let's donate to buy Ameo for Pof
Lets start donating then to anyone of them who would be interested to undertake the task
The Athena is far superior to the Hermes. But it's too expensive for most Hermes users. I fear we will never see such developer "support" as we have it for Hermes for Athena. If HTC would be clever they would donate a few review samples to xda. I guess that would not only help us but also support Athena sales.

just to let you know, HTC and Microsoft dislike XDA, so i don't think they would want to do that.

It's probably something to do with the genius hacking that takes place here such as bypassing the Country Codes, SIM locks, not to mention M$ forcing all the ROMs to be taken off this site. Still, if they had done their job in the first place there would be no need for this site!
I have A titan with windows 5 on it and i try to upgrade it but it always turns off and then the upgrade discontinues, i need instructions on how to UPGRADE IT. Thank you

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

The Tytn and Titan are two completely different phones. Make sure you are flashing firmware for the right phone!

As was already stated the TITAN and the TYTN are two completely different phones. Using software for the Titan on your TyTN can brick it.
You phone is commonly refered to as a Hermes. Here is a link to the Hermes forum on XDA
