Is the a Windows Mobile 6.1 upgrade available for the Cingular 8525?
you gotta be kidding, try looking at the hermes mobile 6 subforum
Read the cooks wm6.1 threads and posts carefully before flashing and u must have hardspl on u'r device!

Be careful...
To caviat: You need to make sure you have HardSPL before flashing ANY ROM to your phone. Read the Wiki and the available cooked ROMS if you want something different than WM6.

Hi Junior,
All the Cooked ROMs in this thread are coming from Original WM6 ROM which was build for another type of Pocket PC. It was dumped from the original WM6 and cooked with the driver and other adaption file to be used in Prophet Device.
Hi every body,
Sometimes I don't understand most of the terms you are using...
Is there anybody that can prepare a "sticky" thread to explain the terminology used...
For example:
What are
CU ROM
Clean ROM
IPL
SPL
HardSPL
SoftSPL (which should be performed first for a virgin prophet)
pagepool
EXTROM
WM6.0
WM6.1
WM7
????
I'm experienced in 3rd party SWs (especially GPS SW) but I could not take me to the ROM Flashers world because of these terminology used and not explained in even dummies thread..
have you tried reading the wiki?
Somethings are explained very good in the wiki, others aren´t.
These common terms and shortcuts would be really good for newbies.
I for example don´t know exactly what 'UC' means. It has something to do with the external ROM and the install routine, right?
Yes I read the WIKI
I know I wrote some terms that are explained in WIKI, intentionally..
Because the think that I required should look like a "abbreviations/accronyms" table..
The "one" that is planning to prepare that "table" should miss least possible number of terms..
Please guide newbies..
have you google it? and look for it?
UC = "User Capable". So this is with SD Config. allow users to install cabs from SD Card automatically, after flashing the ROM.
SPL =Second Program Loader . Bootloader.
HARDSPL and SOFTSPL -->read here. It is a sticky thread.
WM6 = if you know what WM5. You should now , what WM 6.And WM 6.1
WM6.1
and the rest. Search and search. Please dont be lazy. Even though you are lazy.
Hello,
I have AT&T 8525 with Windows Mobile 5.0
Should I upgrade to WM 6 before installing HARD SPL?
Or upgrade after installing HARD SPL
What does hard spl do?
If you are going to upgrade to AT&T 8525 WM 6 official ROM then no need to do a HARDSPL but if you are going to used WM 6 Cooked ROM then it is a MUST to do a HARDSPL.
AFAIK
HardSPL will allow you to flash your unit with a unofficial release ROM or Cooked ROM, or even the other brand official ROM as long as it is for Hermes.
here's a link from the wiki

hope it helps....
Happy Holiday......
Alright, got official wm 6.0,
Installing HardSPL, no luck keep getting Error 260, it loses connection with the device for no reason, I'm wondering why there isn't a straight forward Hard-SPL readme, that says how to install it, the instructions are all over the place...
Please go to the HardSPL thread with your questions.

I have upgraded my new Gene to windows 6.5. Is it possible for me to downgrade my gene to windows 6.1 ? pls help.
Yes its possible
Just download any custom ROM and flash it....
You can safely flash WM 6.1 ROMs to your phone, just dont go below WM 6. WM 6, 6.1 and 6.5 are all compatible.
It means you did not read the Gene Upgradig tutorial thread properly? That's really bad you know!
In that thread, krazy has already mentioned that you can safely downgrade to any ROM, unless its an official ROM.
