Hi there,
Sorry to be yet another bothersome newb. I've tried using the search to find my answer but have so far got nowhere.
I've just bought a T-Mobile MDA Vario II and would like to update WM 5 to either 6.1, or if possible 6.5. Is this doable? If so, can someone please point me in the direction of the thread that explains how to do it?
Also a quick side question... is it possible to install TomTom 7 on this phone?
Thanks in advance for any help!

Hi all I have a new Imate and love it but I see so many Rom updates it is starting to spin my head. It looks like the OS From England is the best from talk….Is this so or is it hit and miss..Please guide me and then How do I change my I-mate to what ever Rom you guys say is best?
Robo,
I'm in the same boot as you except I have the MDA II with an older upgrade 1.60. I also have read that the new XDA II ROM appears to be the most stable.
I would like to hear how people respond to your thread, because I asked too many questions in the ROM Comparison thread I posted a couple of days ago, and got 0 responses.
I would like to add to your request for the best upgrade, is it best to stay within ROM Upgrade Brands. Am I correct that using an XDA II ROM upgrade on my MDA II device will create an ID issue, which if I want to sucessfully use a different brand ROM, I will have to hack around the ID issue.

Hi, I first want to start by saying I have read through the entire Hermes wiki and have followed the website for about the past year, through my 8125 and now on to my 8525. Thus, I have done the necessary research but now just have a couple of questions that are best answered by the community. I apologize if I did not find a thread out there that answered this particular question, but I assure you that I tried to look for one. ANYWAY....
A couple of weeks ago my father purchased a HTC TyTN in France, I suppose, from my recommendations for my 8525. He is originally from overseas, grew up there, and has fluently spoken French his entire life, but English is the language with which he is comfortable as far as computers and phones go. Although he loves the phone, his one problem is the fact that everything is in French. He says that he can sort of navigate around but claims that most of the translation is not great, and, in addition, it is hard for me to help him out when things are called different things between our two phones.
Basically, my question is what do I have to do to make his phone in English? I am assuming that his phone is the HTC TyTN and, from looking on the ROM upgrading page, that his ROM is currently the "1.18.256.2 FRA." I know that I will have to upgrade his ROM, but which is the best, most stable one that I should upgrade his phone to? Or, is there officially released ROM's that HTC releases for TyTN users who buy their phone overseas but would prefer an operating system in English, or another language?
Again, I am sure someone will say "Read the wiki before you post something like this," but it is my father's phone (which he paid $600 for there!!) and I want to be sure I know what I am doing when I do it, rather than the way I can just play around with my 8525.
I thank everyone in advance for reading my post and for any help that anyone can provide; a mere recommendation of a ROM to any helpful suggestions would be more than appreciated! Thank you so much again, and thanks to everyone who keeps this place such a valuable community for those seeking help and, of course, those eternally seeking ways to make their phones cooler than that of the person's next to them!
Sincerely,
Brandon
Without going into a discussion on which ROM is "better" and what criteria should be used the decide the "betterness" of a particular ROM, the easiest option is to install the WWE edition of the same ROM version you have installed already.
You will need to either make the phone SuperCID, or better, use the new SSPL method.
Hello everyone,
You should have heard about the arrival of the TyTn II (ex HTC Kaiser), but does anybody knows yet, or have an idea, about the compatibility of the firmware between TyTn and TyTn II?
It could be interessant to follow this, because of some "touchflo" improvements on the TyTn II...
Well, i wanted to share this with all of you guys, wishing you a very noce day
There's already a flourishing community for the lucky bu**ers who already have a Kaiser - I don't know if they have answered your question yet but why not go looksie http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser
There I'll have a look!
Thanks a lot....
Sorry folks, cingular8525 stuck with mobile 5 ??? I want to upgrade to mobile 6. Is there anywhere I can do this? Old provider whom i bought phone from two years ago out of business (edge wireless).
I have not known to upgrade to windows mobile 6 until i switched provider to att. Talked to htc, att, and others and apparently i missed the second coming of htc upgrade. I am not very savvy but need upgrade is there a place that is available for me to upgrade or do i have to buy some program? Phone cost me some money two years ago and att wants me to get new phone for their better internet service. I thought i had a GREAT phone already.
Thank you so much for your help. PLEASE PLEASE PLEASE
It depends whether you want a official rom for not as there are many people in this hermes forum who have cooked roms that run wm6/6.1 and now some are running 6.5 as the os.
Here is a link to the hermes wiki page http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Hermes there you will find other pages that tell you all about flashing roms onto your device.
Hope this helps and Good luck
yep, just follow the wiki and make sure u install hardspl before flashing any roms!
make sure u install hardspl
Glad someone remembered to tell them.....
Hi All,
I am sure this topic has been answered many times however I tried a search and cannot find the information I require. I would like to take My verizon Wireless vx6800 and uprade from WinMo 6.1 to 6.5. I have found alot of nice builds on this website. I would like to use the 6.5 designed by Ryan Mogul. My questions however is to just install 6.5 do I need to unclock my phone? I don't want to switch carriers or anything. I want to be able to have 6.5 and have MMS and GPS. I want all of the original functionality. Do I need to also get a radio cab as well as an MMS/GPS cab?
I'm sorry for the long post as I am still VERY new to this.
Thank You in advance.
NVM. i figured it out. I did ALOT of reading and after the better part of a few hours I now have 6.5 on my phone.
