I did some research and found the keyboard fix myself, sorry I did not update my previous post.

Does anyone have any experience with the mms issue I am having?

i dont find an answer to this anywhere.

After the flash, I lost capability to send/ receive mms.

here is no mms folder therefore, no way to even re-configure it.

Doesnt seem to have affected anyone else.

Any ideas?

Thank you.

Is there anyway to make the bluetooth DUN to work on this rom? My laptop says that the phone doesnt have the feature. Can someone help? Thanks
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] bkbroil:
Bluetooth DUN was replaced by Internet Sharing on your phone. Simply start Internet sharing on your device and set Bluetooth PAN as the access... then on your laptop you should have a "Network Access" to your device.... You should then be connected to the Internet over a 3G connection... No need to dial *71 (or whatever the number was) anymore.

New With hermes

Hi! i bought an hermes yesterday.

Cingular 8525 to be specific.

A was wondering if i should perform any ROM upgrade and if i am gonna get any bennefits from it?

Right now i SIM unlocked it, but has the factory ROM

ROM 1.34.502.1

RADIO 1.16.00.00

Thanks a lot

Alex
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jaymojones:
yes, I have been using PTT for the past 2 days now
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vp3G:
Most likely yes, particularly from a radio upgrade, but it really depends on what you're seeking. Some here are pretty happy with the factory stuff, while others can't leave their device alone for 5 mintues without tinkering with something (I fall somewhere in the middle of the lot). :D

From personal experience I'd recommend figuring out exactly what you have (including bootloader versions, etc.) and doing a lot of reading before attempting a ROM flash and be sure you have a grasp of the potential consequences thereof. There's been a whole lotta brickin' going on lately, which is never pleasant for he who bricks. Things are coming fast and furious right now and what you read today may very well be superceded tomorrow.

My best advice: proceed cautiously! :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aLiTo:
Hi! thanks for the reply!

which kind of bennefits you get from the radio upgrade?

What am i seeking? just have a good phone with the best software combination available. And of course the less dropped calls.

what i have? i dont know! all i can see in Device Information is

ROM 1.34.502.1

RADIO 1.16.00.00

ROM Date 09-21-06

Protocol version 32.53.7018.01h

thanks again

PS: I guess i am in the middle too. I am replacing the 8125 with the 8525 and with my old phone i flashed it many times, changed different ROMs without many problems and with advantages, but this is a new baby thats why i ask first
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] vp3G:
IMO, better voice/data stability overall and better utilization of CDMA, 3G/UMTS, HSDPA, whatever you care to call it. I had a lot of trouble with 1.16.00.00, which is also what my 8525 came with.

Hahaha. Aren't we all. Good luck to you with that. :p

Radio upgrade may help that.

Do more reading and you'll fill in the missing pieces. There's some things you can do to help safeguard against bricking your device, or at least give you a room to maneuver if you do. I'll give you a clue though... flashing a radio ROM is the most risky.

Good on ya for that. Trouble with the Hermes is that it's so popular right now there are new tweaks and ROMs coming out daily. READ READ READ, is all I can say. :)
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] aLiTo:
Ok, super thanks for everything.

Supose i want to upgrade the radio and make the phone a little better, i assume that one of this would be the way to go

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Zzan:
I suggest you read the wiki thoroughly before flashing your Hermes. The Hermes flash process is significantly different than the Wizards and from everything I have read seems to be less forgiving. The idea is the same but there are different bootloaders for the radio and for the OS. Plus the flash process is much longer than with the Wizard. I haven't had any problems as of yet but I read for about 1.5 weeks before I did my first radio upgrade on the Hermes. With the tools available today it seems to be much safer to flash now than it was just a couple months ago. New information comes out daily :)

where can I download the rom to upgrade to XDA Live .2? please email me at kmd@bapswest.org thanks.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] LegolasTheElf:
That's funny.. You can't even bother to read where to download the rom, and yet you want to install it... Save yourself the trouble, since you'll break your device anyways, just follow these simple instructions:

1) Place phone gently on ground directly behind car tire.

2) While maintaining a constant acceleration, accelerate OVER the phone.

There, the phone is now a door-stop, which is exactly how it would be if you did the upgrade. Just faster and easier this way. Less room for error.

Cingular PTT

Did you half to do anything special

I Have

Rom 2.06.502.3

Radio 1.34.00.10

PV 32.67.7020.10H

I called cingular and added PTT to my phone but every time i do the Initialization i enter the register name i guess that is what ever i want it then tell me i will get notification of compleetion then it displays contact cingular for service... i called them back and they tell me it should be working then they ask me what phone i have i tell them 8525 and they tell me that the 8525 is not supported as of yet.. any thought on how to get PTT working
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] shogunmark:
you could call them back and tell them you have a samsung or something.. also it could be the radio.. i have heard several reports from people using the 1.34 and having issues with PTT, the rom with 1.33 radio was what the test rom shipped with and works just fine with PTT. I am using 1.35 and have no issues.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Tech55:
Ok thanks i will try 1.35
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Zzan:
didn't look too hard did you?

There are links to it where they are supposed to be.

Look for it. Read the required reading material (Wiki, sticky threads, ROM specific thread of the ROM you wish to flash--READ the entire thing, if you post asking the same question that 10 other people before you have already asked you will get flamed.)

Be prepared to have a non-functioning or partially functioning device with no one here having any sympathy for you if you don't read and understand before you proceed any further.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] Zzan:
Read The WIKI. If you still can't find it after looking through the applicable parts of the WIKI then you haven't read the WIKI.

Of course if you want the latest Cingular official release you can just go to their website follow the link to HTC's website and download it there.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] jaymojones:
When I called, I asked them to add it on and they said the same thing. I told them to add it any way and let me suffer if it didn't work. They added and it works fine. I have a business account too, so I don't know if that makes it any different

Well, a bit of news about the official release of the HTC update for the ROM, it may be released sometime around 4/17. They're still going through the rebranding process and the update might just be released on that date, if not, sometime shortly before or after that date. I already updated to the 2.06 ROM here. We'll see how much different the official update is from the ROM we all have now when it finally releases.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] weinson:
Where did you come accross the 4/17 release date?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] _shift:
Recieved an email from a rep, and theres a few phones on there that are being re-released with the AT&T branding. The 8525 was at the bottom of the list with a date of 4/17. Since the leaked ROM has the AT&T branding, then its got to be coming out around that time.

I closed it because he said it was "released" but no one can get it anywhere. The way the thread title and OP was posted was that it was available but I didnt want it to be this thing where everyone would come to the thread looking for it and have it not be available.

Good for him if he has it, but a little information like "testing but not released" or something of that nature is a lot more helpful than "released today" and let everyone run around trying to find it...I think its a tad rude to do it like that but thats just my 2 cents...nothing more.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam Software Upgradin] pasichnyk:
Cingular's ROM appears to be a bit newer (2.06 vs 2.05?) and includes support for cingulars PTT (Push to Talk) service. I'm sure there are other differences too.

And yes, flashing another providers rom requires your device to be SuperCID. Make these changes and flashing to another providers ROM will void your warranty.
