Thanks to this wonderful forum and the smart guys here I have successfully flashed my Cingular 8525 to the newest stock HTC ROM. No problems, no worries, no questions with that.
But along the way I was having problems downloading the ROM from (I think) Rapidshare and I somehow came across a beautiful page that had all the applicable ROMS for this phone posted in one nice easy place. Had Cingular ROMs, HTC ROMs, different versions, etc. I thought I saved the URL, but didn't. And of course now I can't find that page to save my life.
And yes I have searched, high and low, both here and at HTC. I even went through my browser cache trying to figure out where that page was. But alas, no joy.
If anyone knows what page I am talking about, please post the URL for me. Thanks in advance!

MS forced XDA to STOP hosting the ROM's. They are mostly RapidShare Now. The list is still in the Wiki http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes
Just another reason for me to dislike MS...
Anyway, thank you for the info.

Ok, I've searched this site/Google/and 2 other pocketpc forums but I'm running out of time...
My friend was kind enough to let me borrow and testdrive his 8525 that he doesn't use anymore. If I like it and can get it to work on T Mobile, I can buy it...if not, he'll take it back and sale it. Great deal huh?
I've got to make a decision by tomorrow, I've managed to
unlock the device
FINALLY flashed a radio version that seems to work (took 6 tries)
upgraded the ROM
Question: Is there a T Mobile ROM that I can flash that will give me the T Mobile apps/wallpaper/etc? If so PLS post the link. I've found different links that look possible, just nothing that's spelled out in plain English for a noob such as myself. Also, as far as enabling MMS/Picture Messaging, is it just a matter of replacing the AT&T connection settings with the T Mobile settings?
Sorry for the simple question, I'm just out of time.
WM5
ROM 2.15.502.3
Radio 1.47.00.10
Protocol 32.80.7020.20H
Ant T-Mob ROM that's not been adjusted or recooked should have all the T-Mob apps and settngs in, inc internet and wallpapers.
Just search the Hermes forum, thread titles only, for t-mob or t-mobile.
As far as enabling MMS etc, the new ROM will do that. If you want to do it seperately, there is a thread somewhere with cabs posted for just about every country and carrier. Was a while ago but a search'll find it.
Sorry I can't just provide the links but I don't use T-Mob.
These are official WM6 Tmo roms:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=337163
I've flashed the UK one, but skipped the tmo-customisation. Its running unbelievable fast!
thank you
thank you much!
I've searched with just about every form of "T-Mobile" I could think of...the results were just a bit confusing. I think searching thread title only would've helped. :-}
I also wasn't certain that the UK Tmo rom was universal as I'm located in the States, but I think you've answered the question. I'll give it a shot...
Check the sticky about HardSPL in this forum. That will alow you to flash any ROM.
THANK YOU!
Got it...did it...now I'm running WM6 T Mobile (from the UK link)
Just have to figure out how to fix the keyboard without having to mess with the registry (a little over my head), now, back to Searching...
Hi all, I am new to the forums (lurking for ages though) so far i have asked three questions and have had many views with no responses - im hoping this post sparks more interest.
Would it be possible to make a sticky for G4 roms? a link to each thread about the rom and a link to something other than rapidshare? it doesnt work for south africa. I have gotten the hang of flashing and am sadly but blissfully spiraling into the "flashing addicts" arena, so far (since yesterday) i have panicked, installed an original kjam rom, the XM6r5, the artemis touch (no luck and i panicked again - not for the wizard, oops, duh) and now i am on black diamond 3.1. I would like to try the NBD and Jaguar roms but cant download them off rapidshare
I am sure there are many more great roms out there, i just cant find them in the forums - i even tried searching for ROMS but little luck. So my thinking is, if there were a thread just for posting links to the various G4 roms it would make everyones lives alot easier... and perhaps an alternate download site - i noticed that i am not the only one stumped by rapidshare.
by the by, i cant find the threads where i originally got the XM6r5 and black diamond roms from so i just wanted to say thanks to the developers for the awesome work.
you should be able to go through a web proxy to download off rapid share. thats what i do. pretty much any proxy that ends in a .com should work.
So everything I'm seeing on enabling GPS on the Titan includes these massive ROM updates that change all sorts of things I don't really feel like changing... I'd like to just enable the GPS. Is there a simple way to do this?
I also have the PPCGeekSprintMMS installed and it seems to all be functional, except of course, it won't actually send/receive. I've found only one post between here and PPCGeeks that even hints at Telus server settings, and that poster was asking if that was the appropriate entry... no response either way. Anyone have any suggests, anyone got MMS working with Telus?

GPS is only enabled with the rom/radio update.
I have the P4000 as well !
You must upgrade the radio and use one of the custom roms for the GPS to work correctly. Make sure the phone is unlocked with the new unlocker.
DCD's custom telus rom is very nice ! no filler no killer !
in regards to the MMS... not sure about that one to be honest.

Thanks... was looking at DCD's ROM but it appears to remove a few things that I like, such as the Live stuff, and some that I need, like the Acrobat reader.
Edit: Oops, I see he's got links to re-add some of those... unfortunately they're all on that @$*^#$ RapidShare site and I've reached my download limit... unless I want to pay for the privilege. Grrrrr...
All these threads reference this unlocker and so forth - are there some step-by-step n00b instructions on the site on installing these ROMs? Are these steps performed via ActiveSync, put the files on the phone and run them, or do they need to be run from a card? Stuff like that... I'm not technically inept, but this Windows Mobile stuff is completely new to me, so I'm just trying to catch up

That's the one I'm talking about - tried those settings, they don't work. jobine's post is asking if those are the correct settings but nobody ever replies, that I could see.
I have looked through forums here and ppcgeeks and google with no results.

The ALLTEL "ORIGINAL" {bone stock, unmolested NO GPS) ROM, is here http://www.htc.com/us/FAQ_Detail.aspx?p_id=63&act=sd (looks like they updated the whole Website, as my old link doesnt work now...)
REMEMBER, THIS IS THE "FACTORY STOCK" SHIPPED ON DEVICE ROM, NOT ONE WITH ANY THING LIKE GPS OR ANYTHING & has been out for quite a while. THIS SETS PHONE BACK TO AS IF JUST OUT OF THE ORIGNAL PACKAGE STATE.
The new one for Sprint is on that site too.
Thank you, thank you, thank you. Now I can start over from the beginning.
Thank you sir. I have succombed to the mistake of flashing my alltel ROM with the sprint one (3.5) from HTC's website, and letting the Sprint monster go too far and install all this proprietary crap that is keeping me from doing anything with my phone!
And have been spending most of this night rummaging through the forums hearing things about GetSPC, changing the PRL's, and only being able to fix the problem by calling an Alltel rep...
Hopefully this will get me back to a clean slate.
Thanks man.
**THIS IS NOT A NOOB QUESTION, IM NOT ASKING HOW TO INSTALL THIS, OR ANYTHING OF THAT NATURE!! SO PLEASE DON'T BLOW IT OFF LIKE IT'S A STRAIGHT NOOB ?? THAT WILL TAKE DAYS TO EXPLAIN**
Hey guys, Tweak here. Guess what. Just bought a Titan. I've been running my faithful Vogue for the past year, but with my new business opening up, I really need the WifiRouter , which I have to recommend! BUT I NEED YOU HELP!!! PLEASE!!!
I want to use the BuilOS PPCgeeks Kitchen to install a custom ROM on my new Titan (of course) , but I am so caught up in the Vogue world, that I am lost over here in Titan land.
All I need to know is where to find a good ROM , preferably Alltel ROM, but pretty much any ROM , that will upgrade my RADIO version, so I can use the BuildOS ROM's.
I guess you have to upgrade the radio in the Titan, just as you do in the Vogue to use these ROMs, correct?
Also, which build , or what ROM do you recommend me trying out first.
Thanks guys. I really hope you help a long time XDA bud out here.
I have used several of DCD's Titan ROM's and I love them. BTW, I have an Alltel PPC-6800. I just flashed mine again with DCD's newest ROM 3.2.5 and I am using radio 3.42.30, with no problems yet. Good luck and welcome to Titan world.

X2 on that
Are you dead set on using BuildOS from ppcgeeks?
I would use roms based off dcd's kitchen only. ppckitchen doesn't seem nearly as stable as dcd's roms.
I just bought my girlfriend a vogue yesterday and we were upgrading the rom and everything. Theyre basically the same in regards to upgrading
Agree with the majority
I have to agree that the DCD ROMs have treated me the best.
I have tried the ppcgeeks Kitchen and always come back.
haha thats silly. your claim to fame is creating a thread in r&d. had to point it out
but yeah, use DCD's latest, and 3.42.30 radio. you can't go wrong.
Thanks Guys!!!
Hey guys. Thanks for the info. Im gettin ready to try DCD's kitchen right now.
And hey agaus, thats not my ticket to fame. But that is how most people on this site know me is for answering things in that thread. Everyone has clicked it one time or another.
The only reason I mentioned it here is for this reason. If a noob posted a question in here , and has very little knowledge of flashing, most of the time, the thread is completley looked over. I just wanted to make it a point that I wasn't a noob, and that I just needed some guidance here in the titan world.
Also. I miss my Vogue. I loved my Vogue. But the Titan ROCKS! The only thing that actually made me keep it was the ability to use WifiRouter. I run my laptop, my iPod touch, and everything off it. I even created an app to run along side with WifiRouter, that will allow to connect to my PS3.
Get wifirouter if you do not have it.
Thanks guys.

If you were "not a NOOB" then perhaps your first two posts here in "Titan Land" would have been researched prior to posting. I'm sorry to say this, but there is plenty of information about kitchens and w/e else. And most of which is preference to the user. The DCD roms are about the best you'll find here, or anywhere else for that matter. Making more then half of your first post about how much of an un-noob you are doesn't help your case when you ask for help. Just ask it like anybody else would and I'm sure it would be answered. Even if answered before.
Try them both out....PPCGeeks kitchen and DCD......there are a lot of good chefs......try NO2Chem his tools are great and so are his ROMS......Nexvision is great and JD's ROMS which you should know if you came from the Vogue.....try em all and see what YOU like.....that is the best way....
you can always try and step outside the box of dcd and no2chem, and try out JDs rom. he just began working on the titan again about 2 weeks ago, and i think the speed of his rom alone justifies why people should atleast give it a spin.

(the latest rom on there labeled 8-4-08 has a defect with reading sd cards. but he fixed it already in his test rom and i think a solid release should be out pretty soon)
but for your radio....why not just flash the radio only via sd? its so much easier. 3.42.50 is out now, seems to be getting a good response
