Hi
I am wondering if there is official wm6 rom for TYTN? My phone is unlocked...does that cause problems if I want to upgrade later?

No official WM6 carrier ROM released yet. But there will be in the coming months. Just keep visiting the forums and you'll find out when it's out.
Also, being unlocked doesn't cause any problems with upgrading later.
You can alwasy visit here ( http://www.europe.htc.com/support/software/htctytn.html ) on a regular basis to see if its been posted officially.
And here the official statement from Microsoft:
http://www.microsoft.com/germany/windowsmobile/articles/wm6-update.mspx
this is still very good news. just a general upgrading question, will upgrading be a complicated process?

Upgrading is easy but things which can brick your phone can happen. Do some more reading, especially Mrvanx's guide to make the process painless.

Sorry if this i inapropriate or something, Just have some questions:
1. Is it possible for someone knowledgebale unlike myself to write a simple how to, step by step on the generic process of upgrading the hermes ROM. Maybe it can be a sticky then, i know there is lots of info but i feel that maybe it's not easy to decifer it all.
2. Does upgrading you ROM void the warnty, be it if you bought a tytn direct or your on an Orange contract etc.
3. Can the m3100 be upgraded without sim unlocking?
4. Which in the opinion of the mass's, is the best ROM choice currently?
thanks all.

Instructions are in the wiki, the process is quite simple, download exe file and double click on it, connect your PDA using usb cable, click "next" 3 or 4 times and that's it.
If you get an error during the process, do not disconnect the device and follow detailed instructions in the wiki:

Yes, it voids the warranty if you flash a ROM which is not an "official" upgrade from your vendor for your device.
That is... for example if you have a TyTN and upgrade to Imate ROM, it voids your warranty, but it does not void it if you have a JasJam.

yes. Added this as a FAQ.
thanks a lot for your help, very much appreciated, does anyone have any good recomendations - and reasons - please for replacing the orange ROM, i have:
ROM: 1.23.61.4 7/13/06
Radio: 1.06.00.00
and I'm not bothered which branded ROM i have, i just want the least bugs, best comm speed/quality and most functionailty.
thanks a lot all, im sure other m3100 users will be as happy as me!

About the voiding warrenty thing..... I managed to get the guy in the Orange store who signed me up to a contract and sold me the phone, to say that it would NOT void the warrenty if I updated the ROM to any other one, no matter who provided it (I even asked about I-mate, or HTC). I also happened to have the MP3 Voice recorder on my Eten M500 going at the time..... :twisted:

Hi to all
I bought few days ago a new HTC TyTn. That's my first pocket pc with phone.
When I start my HTC I see the following information:
R 1.03.03.10
Is this the ROM nr. ? Is it a new or old one ? I have a HERM200 with QWERTZ (german) could somebody tell me, which is the newest ROM version ?
many thanks
Sorry ROM nr. is 1.18.257.2
Is this the newest one ?
Hi
Can somebody help me ? I'm a newbie regarding HTC. What should I do to update my system ?
Many thanks
wiki
Check the wiki.....
I checked already wicki....but I don't know which version is the right one. I have a swiss HTC with qwertz.....
No Branding...original HTC....
I'd suggest you to study the Wiki and the forum by yourself. You can force people to briefly answer you, but then there is a big chance you'll create one more (because you didn't learn how to read lots of existing!) thread on how to return your bricked device to the life.
But I don't know which one i should take.....
I have checked my actual ROM with the one you have on your download page. The one I have is actual...(i think)...but it is in german.
I really do not have any idea which one i should download and install....could somebody help me ?
You know what, I do not update my TyTn.
I'm really p***** off.
Kind regards
First thing you have to do is READ:
Hermes Upgrading For Beginners: A Quick Introduction to upgrading your Hermes ROM
There are several ROM upgrades available for the Hermes, you can find them in the Shipped Complete Updates wiki page, be sure to read the notes on this page before you start the ROM upgrade.
Please do NOT ask which is the best ROM for you, the Hermes upgrading forum is flooded with this question and we can't really give you an answer: a ROM upgrade is only as good as the comments it has received from the users on the forums, see the top right column of the Shipped Complete Updates table for each ROM's forum link.

But as hellejoep and Lurker0 have told you, you need to read the wiki first, otherwise your next post will be another one of the "HELP ME... MY HERMES IS DEAD". You say this is your 1st PocketPC phone, then START HERE: Hermes For Beginners and after that be sure to read the rest of the hermes wiki.

If you already followed our directions, have read all around upgrading and flashing, and still asks, then just stop thinking about upgrading yourself. Go to your local service and ask them to do the upgrade for you to the latest official ROM that exists fro your devie... if any!
If you didn't - then go ahead reading and learning.
any word when one will be released?
if not, can anyone suggest the best possible ROM i can use with an unlocked cingular 8525 on T-Mobile?
thanks in advance!

How can I downgrade the newSPL(3.50) to oldSPL(1.20) ?

i already opened a thread about this and noone seems to be answering the question.. i am afraid my device is ruined already and most likely because of the new spl.. i am so upset.. the whole device is acting wierd, i even went back to ap3 and still having the same problems.. it seems to be the spl coz nothing else changed! i want to flash stock rom. any idea how to go back to normal???
Guess, all bros here prefer we have our device upgraded then otherwise.
I too encountered the bootloader loop after executing the AnthenaUpdater.
Best of all I cannot load AP4 and I cannot goto activesync mode.
Seeing the bootloader screen tell me there is hope, so next.
I flash AP3newspl by cmonex, http://htc-hackers.com/uploads/ap3newspl.zip
Not sure I re-flashed the AP3 rom, sorry, quite excited during the recovery process.
As soon as I get to see AP3, I continue instructions as prompted on screen until I have the
Activesync running. Once the sync is stable and established good connection with pc,
I immediately proceed and re-try flashing AnthenaUpdater.
It finally flashed the AP4 rom. The princess found the frog.
I hope my little experience may of help to you. Cheers.
I;ve also learn to leave the usb cable connected for a little longer to ensure all activities are completed.
hi, me too
I felt ap4.0 maybe is slow so i tried to go back to 7510(or 7501) original rom but stopped at loading..... scene
So i tried tried and flashed ap3.0 rom and t-mobile ...... but everytime rebooting device is starting as hardresetted.
Never come back to original rom never go to ap 4.0
so after rebooting ,as above posting, while activesync is active, I ran apupdater but the bootloader didn't come but hard restting_after scene so ap 3.0 or 7501 rom was starting....
desperatly, as soon as updater was finalized and before bootloader started, I pressed down volume_key+camera key +soft reset hole....
manually loading bootloader...
I succeeded in flashing ap 4.0
And felt good operating.
Everybody can experience this case .
This is from spl ver. I think.
^^
As far as you willingly go back to ap 4.0, your device will remain beatiful athena.
I think some explanations needed......
Is this my own world's case?
.......................................afraid.......

This and other issues are in the wiki
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Athena_AP4_FAQ
Really everyone should read this and all the info available before you flash!
as you have found out, there is no way to revert to the old SPL yet!
I downgraded to AP3 Old SPL, It runs fine. However, I got the following error with other Roms downgrade:
"FOUND SPL V1.20
DOWNLOAD SPL BEFORE V3.03 IS NOT ALLOWED"
What does it mean?
It means, as has been said MANY times before, if you upgrade to AP4 you CANNOT downgrade to anything except the hacked AP3.

You mean that it can't revert to old SPL? but after flashing this newSPL(v3.50.OliNex),my original rom can't be flash back! Because I'm a chinese,I need the chinese language rom.
How can I downgrade to chinese WM6 rom?

What the heck is that you've linked to?
Why didn't you read before upgrading? It was made quite clear that this was a now ROM that required a new SPL and could not be downgraded. Olinex has since made a version of AP3 that you can downgrade to and in future a full downgrade path will be available. It is not available yet.

Many from different country had tried their best to express their thought here in English too. Some may not write good English but they still show respect to members here.
I do not understand why you cannot or do not wish to exercise a little basic courtesy of sharing your thought in simple English.
My first language is not English.

Needing Downgrade - Waiting Patiently
First off - the AP4 is an excellent Rom - Great work! Thanks!!!! I was an early adaptor and unfortunately my headphone jack shorted out my internal speakers and now of course trying to reflash to the original HTC wm6 shipped rom so I can submit it to warranty, I found the dreaded spl-v3.50 not acceptable warning. Yes, we were forewarned about this (though I confess I missed it). So I URGE any of you who are still under warranty NOT TO UPGRADE to AP4 until Olipro benovolently provides us a true downgrade path to the factory roms or you are absolutely positive you don't want to make a waranty claim. If you are not under warranty - I highly recommend AP4. If you are under warranty I highly recommend staying with AP3 as you can downgrade AP3 to the original factory roms.
My two cents worth as I wait patiently for Olipros downgrade path to the original roms - and I will be donating handsomely for this...
hello
any progress from the dev team ? it is a great rom but for sale our athena it is best to downgrade and to instal a shipped rom...
Regards

are yiu sure this isn't just the problem that has affected just about every HTC phone and is easily fixed by poking either the headphone jack in and out a few times or wigling a matchstick/paperclipin the hole?
No need for a waranty claim!

Not only from HTC, I encountered it with Atom and HP6828 device as well.
Poking to correct the contact may help but do not apply too much force.
The jack cannot be replaced individually, whole main board have to go,
as I learned from the service centre.
Sorry for ask, but I read several post and it's no so clear to me.
I have a HTC Titan II (PI86100), and i'm looking for upgrade or new rom. I read in some threads that it's the same for titan. Is that true?
Thanks for your help, and sorry for ask; but I don't wanna make a mistake.:good:

If you are talking about recent official 7.8 update - than - yes - it's applicable for all devices because it's not OEM update - it's MS update (only msxip and sys parts - common for all WP 7.X phones).

If all you're interested in is the official stock update from Microsoft and your carrier, then your answer is yes. If you wish to HSPL your device and thus flash it with custom ROMs, then your answer is no. To date, the SPL on that device makes it impossible to flash custom ROMs.
