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?

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.
wondering when will be wm6 upgrade for athena!
You're not alone...
...lot of people are wondering about this!
I wonder if one of the companies will give out a ROM with WM6. I am sure one of them will come up with it. Because WM6 isnt finalized yet by microsoft. look in 1-2 months htc will release a WM6 rom for advantage x7500 ^^
It has been said by HTC that they will definitely release a WM6 update for Athena.

Very very interesting. I hope the provide us with the WM6 Athena ROM!!!
Does somebody know were to find 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?

Cingular 2125 is listed as a variant of the HTC Tornado in the WIKI. - FYI
I don't know how to go about this, but since seth isnt goin to be making anymore roms the the Neon, I was wondering if someone could starting towards his direction. I would be the first to do this, but i haven't a clue where start. Sorry if this sounds dumb.
well first big thanx for you on taking on this task and its great appreciated im sure by the NEON community.im sure u already asked seth on how to start cooking and search this forum for some other NEON developers.ill help as much as i can.thanx
-wayne
Im learning to cook foor the Neon aswell Seth has given me soem tips and the kitchen he uses, although i don't know how we can better Seths current Rom its great
Could you show me the foundation of it? build on up?
Neon and Niki are very simulare ... i doesnt understand, why nobody try to found out, the different settings off both device, to create a OEM Pack?
An OEM pack would be great
I'm in the same boat myself. I've been reading the forums here for a while now and have a ****load of tools, but I don't know if I have the right tools to cook a ROM for the neon200.
I'm using Seth's Diamond v4 and it works very well, but I would like to cook a ROM that is stripped to the bone and build it back up over time.
If you have any hints or tips on how to cook for the neon please post them, and I'll try to post anything useful (or unsuccessful, until I brick my phone, lol)
Cheers.
starting from scratch?
I believe we should start by changing toms rom and black mary rom to be configured for the neon. it would be great to be able to have everyone benefit from they're work.
Excuse me...could you please direct me to the kitchen?
If someone has a kitchen, I'll start cooking today. I've cooked afew of my own roms, for private use, on my Kaiser. I've had my NEON 300 for about a month, and love it. If Seth has a kitchen do we know which? If someone's already obtained it from him, can you post it? I'll work on an OEM pack...this isn't really all that different from most of them floating around, it's not like most of the HTC apps haven't already been pooped out in oem fashion, ready to cook. This is how communities grow, with people willing to learn for the support and benefit of everyone.
I just cooked my first Neon200 ROM on the weekend using the Kaiser Kitchen with htcrt settings that NetrunnerAT posted:
[Neon]
Experimental=1
ModelId=NEON****
SignMaxChunkSize=64
RomSections=4, "0x200,SPL,262144,TRUE", "0x600,Splash,262144,FALSE", "0x301,Radio,17563648,TRUE", "0x400,OS,0,FALSE"
I took a vendor image and added some packages cooked it and flashed it and my phone still worked after it, lol. Not all the apps I added worked, but the process did.
I'm going to play with it some more until I get it right (my GFs new favorite saying is, "Are you playing with that f**king phone again!!!). I'd like to build an ultralite ROM with decent drivers that can be built on.
Netrunner posted in this thread that creating an OEM pack for the Neon shouldn't be too hard, but it seems that there aren't alot of knowledgeable people out there with Neons. The differences might be small but to a n00b (like me, lol) they're pretty major. I've read about as much as I can, (I saved my weekend FF session and it has 259 tabs - and on a side note it peaked @ 1,002,384K and while I know that IE would have drowned in it's own blood, 4MB per tab still seems excessive ...) Any Neon specific help and advice would be greatly appreciated.
Next I'm gonna try and take a stock WM6 ROM and port it to 6.1, we'll see what happens from there ...
Hey hey, well done. sounds good my girlfriend says the same thing haha
solution for that problem
I often hear it from my girl too... what I have done is bought her a htc dual now she's into xda too... a question though how can I know if I have a neon or a htc touch dual? from the back of the phone I have HTC dual but when I search into net NEON looks like a htc dual touch... a bit confused here

where are you from? If your in the US, most cases you have a neon. If it doesnt have it listed (on back of device), you probably have a niki. Check settings>device information>identity

I've got the Niki Kitchen, where do I change the settings so I can make the rom for a Neon200 instead of for the Niki?
I have no real idea about this stuff yet, but would like to learn and be involved...
Why is it that you can't take an existing Niki ROM and simply change a couple of settings and cook an Neon ROM?

Manilla Rom
If any one has the kitchen, and is willing to throw out a few pointers, I would be more than happy to get started on a Manilla ROM. Does anyone have any idea where to get one? I PM'd Seth, but have not gotten a reply yet. Any ideas?
