Here is a new rom from the still unreleased Cingular 8525: HTC Hermes (HERM100) branded from U.S. Operator Cingular.
ROM Version: 1.30.502.1
ROM Date: 08/21/06
Radio: 1.11.00.00
Protocol: 32.47.7018.00H
As always, download link on the wiki upgrading page:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades
If you have questions be sure to read the Hermes wiki first, specially the Upgrading FAQs.
Notes on this ROM:
* Cingular 8525 doesn't have front camera, you'll need to install cab files from other ExtROM to enable video calling (I used TyTN ExtROM on mine).
* Left button is mapped to push-to-talk application still unavailable on the rom, so it is unuseful. You can map it to any other APP using 3rd party software to remap hardware buttons.
Enjoy
if i upgrade to the cingular 8525 rom, will my tytn still be unlocked? or will it be locked to cingular?
It will still be unlocked. The network lock doesn't depend on the rom you're using.
Guys
Any ideas as to who/what website released this ROM?

OS 5.1.195 (Build 14955.2.3.0), so it's AKU 2.3 as all the other available ROMs until now.
i just installed the cingular 8525 rom! and now U CANT DO A LOCK IN ON GSM OR WCDMA MODE! (that menu been removed!)
i going back to the Imate rom!
Trying it now, thanks for the link! It also seems that the MMS limit is increased to 600K!

I am on the cingular rom, and my menu exists. Go to:
Settings -> Personal -> Phone -> Band -> Select your network type. The options are Auto, GSM and WCDMA.
If you don't have it by default probably it's on the ExtROM, as I said I installed the ExtROM from TyTN, try it.

the "Band" tap/menu is missing. probably it' on the ExtRom from Tytn. how do i install the Tytn ExtRom? do u mind tell me? or u rather me search the FAQ?
Any comments as to the stability of this ROM on a TyTN?
Do we know what the different files in the EXT_ROM are for?

1) hard reset
2) do the usual alignment stuff, copy-paste, etc...
3) soft-reset before it starts installing the cingular ExtROM (customizations), you have 3 seconds
4) Unhide your extrom (you can also use fit4cat hermes tweaker for this)
5) Extract the contents of TyTN ExtROM to a folder in your miniSD card.
6) click on the CABs files you want to install, this is what I installed on mine:
From TyTN's ExtROM (on SD):
MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
MP_mHub_060630.CAB
MT_PC_Hermes_Qtek_WWE_060621.CAB
P_Generic_UI.CAB
PP_3-AP-Patch.CAB
PP_ace-certs.CAB
VT_Engine_23818_ext.CAB
From Cingular's ExtROM (unhided):
MT_Shortcut-MMS-Hermes.CAB
T_mm1lib_DLL.CAB
MMS disapeared and I had to install the CAB 3 times, i used both from TyTN and from Cingular, then setup a default account settings and sent an MMS and received another (I sent it to myself from another mobile phone) and after that it stayed and no more problems with MMS.
I also installed the TyTN green theme (.tsk) because I like how it looks
Hope that helps.
Does the Cingular ROM or EXT_ROM contain the Cyberon VoiceDialer?
(I hope not!)
Yes, it's on the ROM but it's not mapped to any hardware button.
interesting.. BAND selection tab (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) is present in the ROM if Cingular extended ROM is not installed. it is being removed during Extended ROM installation procedure. more over, none of this Cingular CAB files are responsible for removing BAND selection (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) tab.
I have skipped Extened ROM installation, verified that BAND selection (GSM/UMTS/AUTO) band selector is still present and then installed all Cingular extended ROM cab files one by one. supprisingly enough - band selector is still there. there must be some other invisible configuration file in the extended rom. gprs connection is not auto configured either.
@superduper: probably you need to soft reset for the changes made by cab files to take effect. If you want to know which cab file disables it you have to install one, soft-reset, install another one, soft-reset and so on...
never mind
here is. i have selected the line in registry that needs to be changed to:
dword:00000001
default value for this line is : dword:00000000

UPDATE: phone settings.reg file is attache to this message. one needs simply import this file into device registry. no soft reset is required.
P.S. It would be goos if fit4cat will add this feature to his hermes tweaker.
Great finding
Guys, is Cing Video now activated and available as an option?
Thanks.
Is it me or does the ExtROM Unlocker only unhide the Extended ROM on this build - leaving it still read-only / protected?
I tried with fit4cat and the Hermes MountExtROM.cab but no luck modifing contents.
I have upgraded my OS from 1.23 to 2.06 (cingular OS only, no extROM).
Voice Command 1.5 installs properly but gives an error when launched
Voice Command 1.6 refuses to install at all
Both versions of VoiceCommand are French not US (though you would need to know that )
I have tried to do that just after a hard reset not to be polluted by my other apps, but I have the same result
I have tried with and without the "allow non-certified applications" flag from HTC tweak 2.0. Same result...
I got 1.5 to work on this os after a sprite restore with sbu from OS1.23, but the PIM database was corrupted. So I had to restore without it and get it back from ActivSynch. I do not think there should be a relationship between the 2 however...
1.5 was working after the twicks to remove Speed Dial as indicated on the Wiki (but with corruped PIM database)
But since I have a clean PIM database, no way to get Voice Command to work despite desinstall, clean any trace of it in the registeries and reinstall...
Any hints from the experts on the group?
That would be much appreciated as I am running out of ideas to try!
Odd,
It worked for me. Of course, knowing me I probably copied the CAB down to the device over USB and ran it there.
Of course, I'm using the english version since all the people I know have english names (joke).
Rob
I did try to install it thru a cab execution on the device as I do usualy (I like to keep all the cabs for easy reinstall if necessary)
Any hint why I get an exec error on 1.5? I would stick to it if it worked as I found some ways to get it to work with BT
Try setting all parameters in the regional settings to US. then reinstall. revert afterwards to French settings.
I have come across an other Microsoft product which needed US settings.
Simple.
Cingular OS2.06 is AKU3 = No VC1.5
MS Voice Command v1.5 will NOT work on AKU 3.x ROMs; VC v1.6 should work (does for me with Cingular 8500 w/OS 2.06)
Good Luck!

I second that! 1.5 would not work at all. Only 1.6 did on the latest Cingular AKU 3.3 ROM.

Special Thank to BesFen, he helps me making an Manila 2D enabled new ROM and give me many good suggestions.
Rom Selection Guide:
There are so many ROMs on my thread that the new comers can hardly find which one fit their needs. This section will describe each ROM concisely and state my suggestion.
->If you want a stable ROM with Chinese support:
The main series of "clean and stable" ROM will fit you best. This ROM is also well supported by me and the stability is evaluated by time. I recommend you the b221 ROM.
->If you want to try something new and bleeding edge versions
The WP 6.5 series ROM fit you best.
->If you want to try Manila 2D enabled ROM:
There are 2 versions: Jade version and Besfen version. I do not support the Jade version very well due to time limitation. Besfen version is newer and supported by him. I think you can try Besfen's version first.
->If you want to make your own customization:
Try my kitchen. It is supported by me and you can ask questions about it.
->If you want ROMs of other languages:
There are CHS, CHT, GER versions.But they are unsupported and a little old. The stability is OK.
->If you want Atom ROM:
THere are Atom-R2 Rom here. But it is not supported. You can try it.
HP6828 Clean and Stable WM6.1 WWE rom:
The rom have Jade's kernel and kaiser's system as the base. The pagepool is 6M for stability as well as performance.

Kitchen World:
The kitchen is a set of tool and files to rebuild and customize the ROM for convinence. I hope cookers enjoy these tools. I also released the non-supported 20273 system in hope of external force to stabilize it. Atom's kitchen is a little old. But it is still a good base to build atom's ROMs. Update f is essentially a new 6.5 kitchen. You can enjoy that more.

Thank you very much for those who has donated and supported me. You do not need to donate as 6828 is not exciting any more. You can show your thanks by following this thread.

How to flash using SD Card(Recommended):
Extract diskimg.nb0 to a sd card (<1G is better), insert it into 6828, press&hold 2 soft key(-) and reset. After a while, it will be in PBL mode, wait 15-20min, it will hard reset itself and flash done. The first boot time is very long so be patient , you may click the screen so that the device will not auto-off.
How to flash from PC with Windows XP (It is ok to run it in vmware)
Thanks Knave and rcperez for posting their detailed experience so I can write this section. Also thanks jimmyspa for improving the addheader's performance greatly.
1. Check your Boat loader version
(do a soft reset, and check the value printed at the bottom during the HP logo screen)
2. If you noticed that the last line states BL 1.00.05, it means you have boat loader 1.05 installed. You will need to download and flash your phone back to 1.01 via ftp://ftp.hp.com/pub/softpaq/sp34001-34500/sp34053.exe (VERY DANGEROUS, FLASHING VIA SD IS MUCH SAFER!)
3. After successfully downgraded your phone's boatloader, or your version was already v1.01, you can proceed to flash your phone to the rom.
With the check done, proceed with the required files.
1. Go to download section to download the rom file.
2. Download the file pcupdate.zip attached in this thread and unzip the contents to the same folder you used in step 1.
3. Download the latest Rom file and extract to the same folder
4. Run BuffereAddHeader.bat. It will take seconds to generate a diskimage_Ver.nb0. (You should have Java Runtime > 1.50 installed, http://www.java.com/en/download/manual.jsp)
5. Move your phone to boatloader mode ( press the two - keys, follow by a poke at the soft reset hole with your stylus )
6. Connect the phone to the PC
7. Execute the Device Utility Update program and wait till it verifies the state. Click on Update Item "All" use cursor keys to change it to "OS ONLY" then hit next **** SELECT "OS ONLY", if you cant change it to "OS ONLY" DONT PROCEED!!! It should detect your device as Model 0 etc.
8. Press Next to begin flashing.
9. Once completed, the phone will reset by itself. Wait for a while for it to startup.
Here are the notes & files provided by hochengsoon with README for flashing via Windows XP
PC flashing using BL1.0.1 must be done from C:\Windows\Temp, so why not start everthing from this folder ie PCUpdate + ROM + missing file(s).

How to use kitchens (NEW writen by besfen):
Req: .NET2.0+
1. Download Kitchen Tools and extract it.
2. If you have diskimg.nb0 file that you want to modified, copy it to the TOOLS directory and ROM directory.
3. In "cmd", "cd" to the TOOLS directory.
4. Run prepare_imgfs.exe diskimg.nb0, it will dump the .nb0 file.
5. Run viewimgfs.exe imgfs_raw_data.bin, it will make dump folder in the TOOlS directory.
6. Run pkgtools.exe, select the dump folder and build package, it will make 2 folder, SYS and OEM.
7. Sometime some files don't move to that folder, you can open missing.txt file to know where the location of that file, move the files to the location said in the missing.txt. Finally, there isn 't files in the dump folder, all file are in the SYS and OEM. Delete missing.txt and OS.bat in OEM folder. SYS is M$ related, OEM is oem added things.
8. Replace the original SYS and OEM folder in the kitchen with new extracted ones.
User can change the OEM at will except the OEMDriver folder. I have modified it many times to get it stable on new ROM.
To add a new OEM Software, you need:
1. Extract the cab file of the app, you can use wincab manager to do this.
2. Put the extracted files to the new folder in the OEM. The folder name don't contain space, you can use _ (underscore).
3. Type the registry in the one of .rgu file. There are many .rgu file there, you can edit it with notepad. if you finish save as, choose all file and unicode type, but don't change the name of that .rgu file.
4. Make a shortcut, open initflash.dat file with notepad, the location is in the OEM_lang folder, type the shortcut name. You can read the existing shortcut in that file to know how to do it. Remember to make the shortcut file first in the folder of each app.
After that, just run build.bat file in the kitchen directory, follow the instruction and your ROM already created in the FLASH FOLDER.
GOOD LUCK.

First, the wifi light is working on my 6828. The camera flash light do not work though.
Second, I have ALREADY cut the 12 byte header, so it is safe to flash using a SD card. I said that if you need to flash using RUU you need to ADD 12 BYTE.
Thanks for your interest in my rom.

This is interesting. Can people report whether this is a stable ROM, other than the noted bugs?
Also, will it flash with a 2gb miniSD card? That's all I have.
Thanks.
i need a clean rom too, nhocbanme's rom is great but it's not clean. Dirty with HTC applications and full of black which i don't like.
i'm currently using this rom since a month ago, i think this is a stable and great rom. work flawlessly.
thanks helloworld1
i'm waiting for ur next update rom
Hellooow....helloworld1,
I ve flash this ROM today. It took about 15 minutes. Very good and clean ROM. Everything works perfect, Bluetooth stereo working nice, JAVA midlet also okay, camera works good with flash automatically light during photography. High memory after install 70 applications still got 42MB internal memory left. Hmmm....what else to comment...nothing , all perfect
When are you going to release WM6.1 with this type of super clean ROM....waiting....waiting
Keep up the good work!!!
I've splatted my 6815 with this ROM today, and thankfully it works a treat! It takes a while for its first boot but then I started to breath again when it came up.
The camera doesn't work at all though. The program loads but errors with "failed to get jpeg stream" or similar when clicking the cam's hw button. However that's a small sacrifice to pay when the pay off is WM6, that HP can't be bothered to provide.
Many thanks to helloworld1, and here's hoping you release WM6.1 in due course. \o/

6815 may need a patch to get camera working. You may need to search around.
I do not have a 6815, so I will not embed it in this rom.

I haven't find any solution in the bugs in "bad section". So maybe I will not do minor update to this rom. Also, it will, maybe, save your time updating something worthless.
What about 6.1:
Due to the reason that 6.1 haven't been official released, I do not have a strong will to make a unstable rom.
I will release a 6.1 rom if it is stable and no clean one have released.

No, NEVER TRY TO UPDATE IT WITH CARD MORE THAN 1GB!!
It will almost surely brick(not badly) your device that causes some unnecessary trouble. After that you can still flash again.
So there are 10(!) choices for you:
01.Buy a 256m or 512m card.
11.Add 12 byte header and flash using RUU.
10.Simply do not update

1. HP iPAQ version : rw6828,rw6818 or rw6815
2. ROM from nhocbanme that is used : 1.1, 1.2 , 1.3, or 1.4
3. Bugs found : camera not working, or some application that's installed wont work(list the name of the application),etc
4. Suggestion : change the keyboard color into default, or add SRSWOW,etc

this way nhocbanme and all of us user of his ROM could evaluate it and decide which is the best.

4. Suggestion : Implement the battery drain improvement like homers's ROM.
Side note : My device unable to power up from standby randomly after flashing to WM6 rom. Any rw6828 users out there having the same issue as me ? I suspect is the activesync auto run during device standby. I've applied the fake server tweak but still the same.

That was a nice and quick reply from you .
Btw can you try to delete all folder with "xip" in their file name in SYS & OEM folder when make image on your next rom ? Maybe that could solve some Screen Of Death (SOD) issue. Just looked into some interesting post that someone in xda-developers found here :
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=339792&page=6
1. HP iPAQ version : rw6815
2. ROM used : nhocbanme's 1.4b
3. Bugs found : Camera don´t work. Autoconfiguration does not apply my MMS & GPRS settings, so i can´t send or receive messages (portugal).
4. Suggestion : keep the apps from hp camera from wm5 original rom??!!??
hi ncohbanme,.
let me try to look at your xip, the SOD issue, might come from there,.
and i think you dont need to delete the xip folder, LangDB (it is used by anopther module, if you delete it, some module will not be able to search for it, then you'll have a bug)
can you upload your XIP.bin?
Actually, XIP folder isnt necessary in the kitchen (inside ROM folder), but you need one ROM file that have a new OS, and best XIP, inside the ROM folder,.
may it help you,.

3. Bugs found :
after using wm5torage and when u use file explorer the SD card is not avaliable until u take out the card and put it back into the slot again.
4. Suggestion :
SRS WOW is functioning if you install Netv3.5.cab again(since i think the rom has already got net3.5 pre-installed),its strange because it says error installing at the end...but the SRS works after reinstalling netcfv3.5...

HTC AGC controller (Hermes works, for HP's Automatic Gain Control)
Additional Frames for Camera (i could supply, around 7mb additional)
also UPX4PPC and all added apps should be compressed by UPX
Brief Introduction
Code:
As what I've promised before, it's right here. Please report for any existed
bugs.
For guys who think that the automatically running ActiveSync is a bug, you can
use the "patch" attached - but I myself don't think that it is.

Sorry, I can't. I've applied a lot of changes in settings and installed a couple of softwares into my device already...
But it is MWG-like. It can be regarded as an official update from MWG.
You're really the first one!
About the free RAM at startup... I can get over than 24,000 KB at the moment(I had installed a lot softwares). I didn't apply any changes to the cache of file system, which means the cache size is still 2 MB as default.
It's as much as you can get in the latest official WM6 ROM, right?

I hope Your new ROM can give more Free RAM. Your Build 21056 only give me about 13Mb Free RAM after install all application that I need. So hard download from Mediafire Lol..................
Have finished download, and now I'm using your ROM and add all Apllication ( and games too ) that I need. About 14,55 Mb Free of RAM and only have 651,71 Mb Free of Storage. Cool..............

Like Bajok! says :
HOW TO FLASH THE ROM:
1. You must have at least 70% battery.
2. Use mini-SD card and format it to FAT16 (use only 2GB capacity and below, don't use SDHC card!)
3. Copy AL1.DIO to card.
4. Insert card to memory slot of your device. Press and hold record button (beside the camera button) then push reset button with your stylus. Wait until BOOTLOADER mode appears saying "SD CARD DETECTED", release the record button.
5. Wait 'til it finishes until the O2 logo and splash screen appear. Follow the on screen steps. HAPPY FLASHING!!!
Thanks your ROM is very light, fast and battery usage is very good with this..
I surprised!! solved my problem for years on battery usage problems.
Just had to say thanks, sadly last week my old faithful HTC TYTN died, and i almost cried, and i had to get another PDA.
The one i got was an 02 Atom Life, however the stock rom wouldnt run some of the apps i use and depend apon, and couldnt do some basic stuff like send the USSD to get credit info (*100#), so i tried the official 6.1 update which still didnt run my app, or allow me access to my info, then i tried this Rom.
Everything goes again, (including USSD) ive tried your 6.5's but frankly I prefer this one alot much more, I just wanted you to know I appreciate your effort to the community.
The problem i have it they layout for the 6.5, do you have a 6.5 with the 6.1 Setup? If so i would gladly test it for you.

I'm sorry, but I couldn't understand your last question... I beg your pardon?
Sorry, ill phrase it better,
with your WM6.5 roms i noticed they didnt have the standard start menu, like the WM5.0 / WM6.1, it instead your WM 6.5 has the touchflo type menu.
Is it possible to make a 6.5 rom without the touchflo ?
or can the touchflo be turned off so the old start menu works?

Yes... There're two ways that you could be able to use WM6.1-styled Start Menu, but both are not perfect neither:
1. Use the QuickMenu instead.
2. Recook a WM6.5 with a hexed shell32.exe file(by Sun_Dream in DFT) and other WM6.1 DPI and Lang *.dll files. I have just cooked one and that was under tweaked, but unfortunately my device broke again in the day before yesterday... So I'm afraid that you may have to cook it yourself.
My device is fixed now. I've got the thing you meant done, but themes of WM6.5 or later are not applicable for this ROM. The WM6.5 lockscreen and Titanium are not present as well...
So does anyone want to try that?
hi aa125690, been almost a year but this rom is fine!
I have a problem here =
1. when i flash the rom back to MWG original rom (.exe) through dsuu I can't find "wireless tab" under setting-connection-wifi.
2. same thing happen using original O2 wm5 or wm6 rom. no wireless tab inside.
I thought this was DSUU problem so I did =
3. using modified flash.dio as al1.dio from both original O2 rom (miniSD mode) resulting the same.
4. using modified flash.dio as al1.dio from original mwg rom (miniSD mode) resulting the same.
many hard-resets but they solve nothing. strange thing is = all rom from this xda-developer site (from you, bajok!, chrisch, etc, which are all minisd mode) are free from this problem. do you have any idea?
I just wanted to feel the "old feeling" when the atomlife was still on wm5 just like old time.
