Hello everybody,
the official software update for the HTC TyTN seems to come pretty soon:
The menu "software updates" just appeared this minute on http://www.europe.htc.com/support/support.html?device=htctytn.
Unforunately the update itself is not yet available - but I guess it will appear pretty soon.
Lumi74
Euhm... That has been there as long as I can remember...
Jörg
No, definitely not. I´ve been waiting for that menu to appear all the time. But I expected the software update to appear at the same time...
Maybe the point "software updates" has been available in Belgium (which language do you use on the HTC site?) all the time, but definitely not in german.
Lumi74
Ah, I'm seeing that site in English... and it has been present there for a long time.
But if it just appeared in German, it might indeed indicate something is afoot.
Jörg
This is new, also the wording that used to say "No upgrade for HTC branded devices" has now gone from the support section!! Looks like theya re ready to relkease an update.

I confirm: i'm from belgium and it was'nt yesterday!
Nice hint
The hint was nice, but useless Because it just say's that there is no new ROM available.
But please - keep it up

Jörg, don't want to start a flaming war, but you're wrong. This is a new menu option when you have the TyTN selected as your phone. I have been checking daily ever since the new Leaf Wireless AKU 3.3.1 ROM was released. This is good news.
John
In fact, i'm afraid this menu is appeared for the P3600's update
The site doesn't show the Software updates anymore
Oops, sorry, yes it does! They moved the link to the left side.
Good news, but I'm wondering what kind of update we have to expect. WM5 2.05 AKU 3.3 or WM6?

I will bet dollars to doughnuts that it won't be WM6. Almost sure that it will be WM5 AKU 3.3.1.

My assumption is that if any official WM6 upgrades do become available they will not be for free (Just as one cannot upgrade a desktop PC from XP to Vista for free, The same being true from the big OS X releases, not to forget my Mac prefering friends).
To be honest, I am just basing this on a dim recollection that once upon a time a few iPAQs (non-phone models I think) had an update made available. This is going back a bit... so might even have just been an update to 2003SE. Maybe it was WM5, I just can't remember. Anyway the bit I do recall is that my iPAQ wasn't included and for those that were it cost 40 or 50 bucks-ish.
Obviously WM6 is much more than a bug fix for an existing release, so it is very different from, say, a RadioROM update!
There is a good chance I have backed myself into a corner again this time as I have a Trinity. The Hermes seems to be the big seller and I would think an official WM6 offering would be much more likely than for the Trinity (Plus you lucky people already have some unofficial options).
Guess we will see soon enough

The longer I think about it (and the longer no update for the TyTN shows up), I fear the P3600's update is the true reason for the new "software updates" menu...
Nevertheless I won´t give up my hope for a soon official update.
BTW: I guess it will be WM5 AKU 3.3x and not WM6. But surprises (newer than AKU 3.3) are welcome!
Lumi74
Information from Greek distributor say that the release is near.
They have the ROM ready and want to make it also Vista Upgradeable and is matter of some days.
We also wait. 99% AKU 3.3.1

Checked today, and the link has disappeared off the site
Edit..
It's on the left hand bar!
Sorry!
The Link "Software Updates" is still there! On the left side.
the update cab wit provider settings (mms, ...) for P3600 also works on TyTN!
really a lot of ountries to choose from

maybe its common knowledge but i for one dont know when the launch date is?
any body care to fill me in
thanks
I don't even think Cingular knows the launch date
They've just delayed again due to a Goodlink battery drain issue it would appear....
Hi, cud someone pls post a downloadable file of the Task manager. i cannot find something which i can download!!
Zohaer, I've been following the craziness around the 8525 release pretty closely (borderline obsessively and Sleuth is pretty much right on the money. As of right now, 11/1/2006, you'd be hard pressed to find anyone in the entire Cingular organization who can give a firm release date on the 8525. Seems they still have some software issued to work out, and until they are resolved, they can't rightfully give any type of release date.

Read more closely: it will be part of the AKU 3.2 ROM update... which hasn't been made available yet. Also, if it's part of the ROM update (and not extROM), there will be nothing for you to download...
Well, after a heap of emails to ANZ (australian service agent for Dopod) i got the following response:
Dear Michael,
The 838pro ROM code is AKU2.X. I checked our schedule and there would not be any new ROM update in future. AKU 2.X supports WPA only. Unfortunately, it will not support WPA2. You might consider some of our other products like D810 with AKU 3.X
Thanks.
Kind regards,

So, basically release a full featured phone, then do nothing for it at all, and have it somewhat crippled.
Bad form on Dopods part, and if no other manufacturer updates theres, well, will be the last time i get a HTC PDA. Considering my Mio A701 is currently running a version of crossbow on it, or a choice of an AKU3.5 ROM as well...
Anyway, thought i'd share for those wth dopods that theres no updates coming, at all
omg is this going to be the same with all of the hermes versions? i'm hoping not or my jasjam is never gonna see the light of AKU3.xx or Crossbow.

The crossbow version and the aku3.x version for the Mio A701 are also not official... the comunity has made the rom updates!!
I hope dat "Pof" or others create some custom upgrades voor the hermes!
I like my hermes much more then the teribble mio A701!! (what a buggy phone with worse phone sound!!)
The Mio is actually a very good phone. Look at reviews all over the net at rspected places, and it scores even, or higher than the Hermes based phones.
However, its a "diffent" needs pda, and not for everyone, the same as the hermes isnt fo everyone. having both, i assure you they cater for very different needs, and are both excellent.

I have the same feeling,too. There is no reason the spend money on HTC PDA again if there is not even a minor update after the release date. Given that we no longer can modify/cook our own ROM on HTC PDA due to the certificate protection, owning an HTC PDA is not that worth anymore...

Fun has been increased with this, now we have to think of a way to circumvent signature checking... and be sure we'll do it
pof, honestly in your opinion, what the chances you think of either yourself or another cracking it relatively soonish??
Probably an isolated incedent, but interesting just the same -- In Taiwan, where the TyTN made it's world debut 03-July as the CHT9000, the TyTN has been pulled and is no longer available for purchase.
Dopod has a less than ideal record of supporting Chinese language devices in Taiwan (they're made here, so go figure). I think they tried, failed, and so decided to cut their losses. I tried the Chinese OS for a few days and my impression was it was clunky as compared to the English language ROM. Maybe that's also why it never made it into the China market as a native Chinese language OS.
So, I suspect the TyTN will live on as the Cingular 8525, dopod 838pro, or HTC TyTN... but the CHT9000 is no more..
Me... I'm very happy with my CHT9000... but, running the v1.35ROM of course... cheers.
@mxlaser: see my comment here regarding this.
Thanks pof.
Ever helpful as usual.
Shame theres hesitation on the commnity banding together on this on. 6 months is a long time to worry about updates as WM6/crossbow devices will be here by then...
Hope it goes well... Wish i knew more about it all to help in the end...
So i finaly got a hold of wm6cb.rar. Tried the romupgrade tool and kept getting country id error. So i draged the NFK file to the country id patched loader. I put the enterbl.exe on my 8525, launch it. i get my red blue and green screen says tytn on it and some other stuff. so i launch the nonid rom update tool. It idenifies the new rom
Device rom: "Nothing stated"
Device radi: "Nothing stated"
device Ext:"Nothing stated"
To
Device rom :2.00????
it brings me to the loading stage with the install 0%
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!

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 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).

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.
