Shanetheclassic,

Firstly be nice - no need to flame him for asking a question!

Secondly, the vario II is the T-Mobile version of the HTC Hermes.

Play nice, people shouldn't be frightened to ask questions in a place like this. :)

SHC - it could be that the 1.41 Radio is a bit patchy for your device/provider. Try the 1.40 Radio Rom it's reported to be better than the 1.41 version and more stable too!! :) Good luck hope you get it sorted :)

i might sound like a dumba$$ with this question

But is this a real WM6 upgrade and a modified OS? sorry still new to this thing..

also if ever I use this thing will it allows me to go back to the old one later? how about the settings of my Cingular network.. will I be able to get those things? I know I could do some searching or read this hold thread here but with whopping 83 pages... it will take me days to be able to get this questions answered.. thanks in advance for any help... im loving this site...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shanetheclassic:
haha so now that I feel like an IDIOT, its hard to ask this question haha. But I have a Cingular 8525 and i upgraded from black 2.5 to 3.01 yesterday. Now like every hour i get message saying "your text message cannot be sent", but theres no txt in my outbox or drafts or deleted, just my inbox. I'm checked everything (im not an idiot when it comes to MY phone haha) and nothing seems to make it stop. it's so annoying thqat i might jsut downgrade to 2.5, since that seems to have run the best out of all of them. btw im radio 1.41, that shouldnt make a differnce though. Anybody have the same problem?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] LJinFLA:
JasJam,

Do the new bluetooth drivers in 3.01, or in the new version you are working on add back the DUN profile that Microsoft removed from WM6 and promised to return?

If not, how can i get them? Is widcom the only way? has anyone tested the widcom project available here on XDA with Black? i really need to get the DUN profiles back.

Auto Detect not working?

Hey all,

being going thru the hermes guide for upgrading my tytn with the hard spl etc. to the new one 2.10 and all was good, now when trying to upgrade the radio version from 1.38. to the new 1.41 and the guide says use autodetect, i get and error message saying it is an unkown version and i must select SSPL? should i select this? also when i leave the radio upgrade and go straigh for the 3.0.1 os upgrade the autodetect comes up with the same issue so not sure which spl to select without a possible bugger up....

Thanks for the help in advance
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] dbaser:
The Widcom drivers do not work. If you are having issues, I suggest you go back to Black 2.5 until things are sorted out.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] thuber:
There's a section in the Wiki about this:

http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Registry

Here's the summary - change the following key in the registry:

HKLM\Software\OEM\QWERTY

Layout="263177" (or 40409 in hex)

It's worked for me many times.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Deddiekoel:
Since I caught the ROM upgrading bug I thought I'd try the LVSW ROM to see if it has similar problems. If it hadn't perhaps JJ could use that to his advantage.

What I found out the hard way is that the LVSW ROM is a bit more intrusive than the kind Black ROMs. It looks like it also updated my EXT_ROM. Not that I use the files in there but for warranty issues I would have prefered to have kept the original files. The T-Mobile splash screen has also been overwritten. I saw the MrVanX guide on how to change the splashscreen but I need the original .bmp image. Can anyone help me?

As for the LVSW Rom comparison to Black. Everything looks to be working just fine. It uses different tools so there is less available memory. However speed seems to be the same. But is does have ugly UMTS icons by default (which can easily be corrected). WLM seems to be the same as the black version but I haven't had the multiple instance issue here (hadn't noticed it on black 3.01 either). Will run some BT and WLAN tests this evening.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Sadlybrokeboy:
Hiya,

This is going to sound unhelpful - but there is a issue (I had it) where the auto-detect doesn't always work. I'd have a peek on the thread about Black 2.5 thread I'm sure there's something in there.

I think if you check "Is it Hard-SPL" and Use "SPL 2.02/2.10 New Bootoaderl" and that should do it :) but I'd search the forum to be sure!!

Matt
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcg:
Yep I'm a newbie here (and this is my first post) but after doing a in-thread search about the auto-detect not working, just make sure you have the SPL-2.10 Olipro as your bootloader and you're all set. Just choose the Hard-SPL option AND the "New 2.10" Bootloader bubble. Then proceed with the ROM flash and everything will be OK.

I also have an issue with the Live Messenger program - I can't seem to find any threads about this, but when I try to log on, it won't let me... says something about connection issues, and I should make sure I have "good phone reception", when my Wifi router is 1m away from me. I don't get this - is this a bug, or a known issue? Or does it use GPRS instead of WIFI? Thanks for the help.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] shanetheclassic:
yea i've had the same problem, i just use GPRS instead. I remember reading somewhere on here that someone was having the same problem, but don't remember which thread it was in, sorry. All i know is that with any WM6 upgrade WIFI has seemed to always be a problem. I know i didn't answer your question but i thought I'd add some support to your frustration...
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] LJinFLA:
I am running 2.5. Bluetooth works fine, except that Microsoft, in their infinite wisdom removed the DUN device profile from their implementation of WM6. They now use the PAN profile for using the phone as a modem. They have said that they will add it back in a future release, but you know how quickly Microsoft acts on that sort of thing, especially when they are trying to change the standard.

So I was hoping that someone here would find a way to add back the DUN profile to WM6. There are still a lot of devices, like my TomTom 910, that require the DUN profile. Maybe someday they will all be updated to use PAN, and likely faster than Microsoft will add back DUN, but for now, many of the TomTom Plus features that used DUN are dead for all WM6 devices.

Here's hoping the gods of Black will find a solution.

LJ
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mcg:
Haha thanks, sure helps to know that others have had issues, but too bad I don't have GPRS. I hope this issue will be fixed soon.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] .VIBE:
1. This ROM is based on a pre release build of WM6 Crossbow. It's the real deal.

2. If upgraded correctly, ie using HardSPL v7, you can go back to any WM5 build

3. Cingular settings are availablr in CAB format, try the WIKI or wpbear's thread.

Please read the WIKIand Mrvanx's upgrade guide before posting any further questions.

Great work guys!!!!! However, the exchange server is very slow in syncing and freezes when updating calender. says 0/254 as an e.g. then hangs, and connection eventually stops.

"1. This ROM is based on a pre release build of WM6 Crossbow. It's the real deal."

Why not the final build (I thought that was already out)?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] .VIBE:
WM6 is not a cross platform OS. The ROM has to be adjusted for each device. WM6 for Hermes has not yet been released. These ROMs are based on test builds for the final ROM release.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Deddiekoel:
I have had the non-working auto-detect issue as well. To get it working you should remove all relations with mobile devices from activesync (you will need to redo them after the ROM upgrade anyway) and then reconnect without making a new relation. Activesync will still show that you are connected.

Then try the auto-detect and it should work (the next button will become active). I always check the Hard-SPL box.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] swtaltima:
I think that would defeat the purpose of the rom. From what I have seen people were begging for a plain version so they could taylor it to just what they needed.

Thats what I did and it is perfect, without all the extra bloat.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] gyrene2083:
I believe in JJ's 2.5 release, he stated that he is not going to make different carrier flavours of his rom. He was only going to focus on developing one ROM.

Custel's cingy apps work, and wpbears cabs work as well. At least that is what I have read so far.

From An Ungrateful Pommie Bastard

As much as I love this upgrade and all of JJ's previous work, I do wish that applications wouldn't disappear without warning (eg. VJ Candela, PIM Backup, Soft Keys, etc) every time we get a new version. Are they removed on a whim or is there a more concrete reason?

I've just spent an infuriating few hours trying to get a few of them back trawling this website with not much luck!

There were many many requests to reduce the scope of the ROM by removing all unnecessary applications. There have even been complaints that the MSN live and Messenger stuff should not have been put back into the ROM for 3.0.1. I don't believe the statement "removed on a whim" actually applies here. JJ is just doing what the concensus believes should be done ... creating a lite ROM and providing the additions in installable CABs. I, for one, believe he has done a fantastic job of walking that line.

Bluetooth Woes

I've just this week upgraded my [already unlocked] Hermes200 HTC TyTN phone from the factory Wm5 build to Black 3.01, 1.40 radio and the recommended SPL. All went fine and seems to work fine. As a matter of fact, this phone now is many times quicker than it was before. Very responsive!

However, as with many others I'm not having much fun with the bluetooth that otherwise worked pretty well prior to the upgrade. I have paired the phone successfully with my Garmin c550 GPS and with my new Infiniti G35x car. However, when making or receiving a phone call there is no audio played through either the car or GPS audio system. The caller on the other side hears me fine but I don't hear any audio other than through the phone.

I know JJ is working hard on a fix. JJ - if you're out there, could you let us know how you are progressing?

Text messages 160 characters or longer don't work

Thanks for the suggestion but I think I figured it out. This happens when you try to send a text message that is 160 characters or larger. The message gets stuck in some kind of black hole and bounces around from the outbox to the draft folder. The phone keeps trying to send the message and it keeps getting stuck in the black hole. During this time, you can not send any text messages. You will keep getting the "cannot send text message" error. I fixed it by deleting the message from the outbox, draft, or deleted items folder. You may have to perform some soft resets and repeat this process but eventually you will be able to send messages again.
