hi guys this is my first post, i couldnt find a hello section so appologies if there is one.
what im after doing is upgrading my tmobile mda vario 2 from windows 5 to windows 6.
well i used the search but there is hundreds and hundreds of threads. so i started reading but there is that many different versions of wm6 and i dont know if they are all compatable with my device. etc etc so im looking for a spoon please to point me in the right direction of a guide and a good wm6 rom. (+ any issues with that version)
only thing i have done to my device is made it sim free using the all in one unlocker.
so any help would be greatley appreciated please. one last thing if i upgrade to wm6 will all my contacts and messages etc be wiped. thanks
1. Backup your contacts via Activesync - they WILL be lost
2. HArdSpl if you haven;t already
3. Change the Rom - basically try out a few.
All you need is on Mrvanx's web site - www.mrvanx.org
ok thanks for that will have a read up n visit there now. cheers for ya help

ok since 1week i have htc hermes tytn and i'm very, very satisfied with it. but i saw, that my rom is old and slow (1.18.255.3 07/22/06 with 1.03.03.10 radio and 1.18.255.106 extrom). i saw already the 1.35.255.2 rom, but i'm confused, because it's for south africa.... i live in Bulgaria and i'm not sure, will the device run, after the flash? problems?
i want you to explain or give me links to understand how to flash the rom. i don't know what the bootloader ist (maybe something for the startup of the device ) and the CID unlocker.... please help me, this is my first WM phone (i had before symbian)
plese tell me step by step, how to flash the rom without problems...
i'll be very, very grateful!!!

i recommend you to read the wiki first as it has all the info you need to start with. you'll find the answers to most of the questions you asked here. you can also search for the threads on that rom from south africa and the audio issues you mentioned.

10x i will read it carefully and if i have more questions or problems i'll write here!

great well come on board to wm5 arena!
10x, 10x, 10x!!! i successfully flashed the rom and works great!!!
one question: are they backup programs to save all my data (with settings and files) to the pc, because active sync saves only my document folder and i have to install all applications again?
thanks a lot!!!

A ROM upgrade may change the registary etc and restoring applications from a previous ROM is not recommended. However you can purchase 3rd party applications to backup files etc IE Sprite Backup there are a couple of others mentioned here in the forums.
As mentioned earlier Welcome Aboard!
10x, sorry but i have one more question
i want to unlock extrom (i have unlocked the past rom) but now i can't. i tryed all registry hacks and i can't unlock it. its unhidden, but not unlocked.
10x!
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.
Hello everyone,
Please I have a very big problem that I would like someone to help me. I have a Dopod CHT 9000 which is Chinese language or ROM. I would like someone to give me direct link to where I can download WWE ROM to upgrade it?
Also I would like to know if I can upgrade it with Cingular 8525 WWE ROM? Please mods I need your help.
Thanks in advance.
All the official ROM's were removed from this forum on the insistence of M$ - I don't even know if we are allowed to post links to these roms, so maybe no one can openly help.
But more to the point, since Feb this year you have had:
MDA Vario II - you want to sim unlock.
Qtek 8100 - you want to sim unlock.
XDA Wiza 200 ? - You want to change language from German to English.
2 x SPV C600 - You want to sim unlock.
Dopod CHT 9000 - You want to upgrade Chinese rom to WWE rom.
Either you are absolutely useless with phones, or dealing in them (either way is no problem) - BUT with so many phones with similar 'problems' I'd have thought it more appropriate that you learn how to do some of the work yourself - try to RTFW instead of your 'Urgent' posts.

@ach2 nice work my dear watson
@babyelephantt
read the wiki all the ROMs are in there, and if you have indeed upgraded/possesed so many device...why are you asking this?? you REALLY should know by now that "please help me!" is not a good way to ask for help.
I also stand corrected - I thought these Roms had been removed so didn't even bother looking
The link to the WWE roms is here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades Scroll to the right to find the download mirrors

I have found an English ROM for it. [Dopod Asia WWE UNI_DopodAsia_11369_183_10402_ship.exe and CHT_ENG.exe] which one can I use to upgrade the ROM?
No one can tell you which rom to use - any should work. Just try them and see if you like them. I've tried all the Dopod WWE roms on my vodafone VPA1605 with no problem (before WM6 came out).
Try also reading mrvanx's guide - it's in his signature in post no. 3 of this thread
Thanks

You REALLY need to read through the wiki, all the info you need is in there, you obviously havent taken any time to read through it. This thread will be closed now.
everything you need is in the wiki. i suggest you read it to avoid trashing your phone.

Hey guys. I just bought a Hermes, switching from a Wizard. I just wanted to make sure i've got the facts straight. So to upgrade the ROM on my Hermes (which is currently a stock At&t WM5 8525 ROM) i need to first CID/Sim-Unlock the phone, flash a hardspl to it, and then i can flash any wm6 rom i want that is posted in the WM6 forum for the Hermes? Thanks, and sorry again for the post. One of the guides said if i was unsure about anything, i should ask.
Read the last post, should also apply to your question. Also, great guides on the first page

Hi,
I know this has been answered probably but I got confused as most of the posts talk about 7500 or 7510 and SPL 1.2 or something higher.
I have a HTC x7501 with SPL v1.10.0000 and the IPL is v1.00. My radio version is 1.47.51.00 and ROM version is 2.19.453.4. The OS installed is Windows Mobile 6 Professional.
My question is can I upgrade to AP4 rom? Do I have to unlock my device first? It does accept different SIMs now. Is there a step by step instruction to do the AP4 rom upgrade specific to my model?
literally 6 threads blow this one is this thread
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=429013
please look around next time
its for all athena x750* devices
Hi Rorydaredkign, thanks for you prompt reply. I did look into the thread that you mentioned including other related posts. But I kind of got lost in all the version no. etc. Probably I am too new to try these things.
Also the link for the Olipro video does not work. Is there another link for this? Am I correct to assume that the unlocking/upgrading is similar for both x7500 and x7501? As the tutorial is for x7500.
I will appreciate any help in this regard.

Hello and welcome to the forum,
Good advce from Rory there and also I have given this advice lots of times before and to you no different. please go HERE and read and learn, if you TAKE YOUR TIME AND READ you will learn. Please Please Please do not try to run before you can walk, or your Athena will be Bricked. I have been flashing ROM's for years now and still make the occasional mistake through rushing in to fast. AP 4.0 is a very good ROM but there are better ROM's now in my opinion. When you are READY try one of Michy's ROMs on spl 1.2.
Good luck and use the search button!!!
Regards
Jay
