Haha! I'll tell you what, it should be. Your ROM has been working beautifully. Thanks man.

Can I ask what you did to stop it incessantly trying to establish a data connection when there is NO signal? Yours does not do this, but the 'official' one does and was a serious problem.

(By the way, I run all ROMS using GSM/EDGE only, as 3G and MS Push are not viable due to battery life. Not sure if the above fault I describe happens on 3G, but it certainly does when set to GSM/EDGE only in BAND selection on phone setting.)

Thanks again!

I second this. I spent this week tethering a laptop for hours at a time and I had lots of crashes hangs, and reboots. I've noticed all sorts of quirky things, and some may not be the WM6's problem. Something is flaky with the XP RNDIS driver.

Tethering to my main development XP laptop that has my Active Sync 4.5 on it, caused the laptop to seize up immediately every time. I punted and tried to use my new Vista laptop, it actually worked right away. This gave me a false sense of security.

I rebooted this machine into XP (dual boot) and whoops no RNIS driver. Install AS4.5, still no go. Some times the system says unrecongnized USB port. Soft boot 8525, that fixes that. Then the network won't connect, or I woudn't get an IP address, then something else. Then XP hangs. Punt back to Vista.

I could get Vista to run fairly well, until yesterday morning. I spent an hour, soft booting, retrying, and not getting anywhere. Another quirk, the mobile device would keep relocking. And occasionally it would spontanously download one of my POP email accounts (all are set to Manual download) and pop up a notification of my new email. Another reboot, and then out of the blue it works again. Sigh.

Another quirk, occasionally the phone app will not echo the digits to the edit line as I dial. Something is not right.

This kicked my A$$ for about an hour as well. You'll never want to actually stop the installation to startup activesync. That's where things get jacked up! Just make sure that activesync can see the phone before you run the RUU_Hermes.......Ship.exe file.

1. Make certain that Activesync works before you start (I had to upgrade to 4.5) and synchronize the phone on the WM5.

2. Launch the RUU_Hermes......Ship.exe update and Click the "I Understand..." box and then Click Next. You're phone will display the Red, Green, Blue, White bars and show USB as the connection.

!!!!DO NOT REMOVE THE USB CABLE UNTIL THE ENTIRE UPDATE HAS COMPLETED!!!!! This is where you're making a mistake just like I did.

3. The Next Screen shows the Follow the instructions below.........etc. and it asks you to 1. Connect the PDA to the USB 2.Establish an Activesync connection..... 3. Disable the standby...... 4 Make sure Main Battery..... and it has a check box at the bottom.

!!!!! DO NOT TOUCH THE PHONE OR THE USB CABLE !!!!!! YOU SHOULD STILL SEE THE COLOR BARS ON YOUR PHONE!!!!

Just click the checkbox that says "I completed the steps as indicated above" and then click NEXT.

4. It will say Verifying the information on your PDA Phone... Please wait..

5. You'll get the Update the current ROM version UPDATE box to click, do so.

6. You'll get the Verify that you want to update the ROM version screen, Click NEXT

7. It will go to the You are now ready to Update your ROM image screen. click NEXT

AND MIRACLE OF MIRACLES....You'll FINALLY see the Gas Gauge percentage screen update on your phone and the PC. Wait about 12 minutes, say a prayer for our troops, and get ready to enjoy WM6!

Hope this helps!

WiFi problem...

Very nice WM6 for AT&T!!! Works great!!

Only one bug- switching between WiFi and 3G....

I know what to do, to make it work in both type of connections, but my question is: Will somebody fix it, to disable Proxy in WiFi mode and enable it in 3G?

It is very annoying, when you can't listen stream in 3G without Proxy enabled and in WiFi, without Proxy disabled.

Also, Tomtom GPS doesn't istablish data connection- only handsfree...

Does it mean, all this problems "pre-configured" in this ROM?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] PostDeals:
Two issues I have faced,

the 3G doesn't always stay connected.

EMail:

I have pop3 email with my own domain and it has over 3000 messages online I tell it to download just 3 days worth yet most of the time it doesn't download. If i go into tools and modify the settings in there to download from 5k to 20k or make any changes in there it will download.

I even downloaded all the messages thinking maybe its due to that but still it takes 5 minutes for looking for changes and then gets stuck on disconnecting. Is this a known issue?

Receiving Files over Bluetooth

Does anyone have this problem whenever I try to send a file over bluetooth it does not come even though my Hermes is set to discoverable?
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Squuiid:
Ok, turns out this issue is related to Windows Live and occurs on both the AT&T 'official' and VP3G's ROM.

When Windows Live email is set to 'push' sync, this causes the phone to continuously try to establish a data connection even if there is NO signal. For example, in the subway.

It renders the phone unusable until you get a signal, or turn off the radio fully.

Annoying.

Safe boot?

I installed the upgrade to WM6 as described in this thread. That worked fine. Then I restored a backup that I had created under WM5 and now I've got problems.

When the device boots, it says that it is trying to load PlusService.dll, which is untrusted. It asks if I want to continue. I'd be happy to say no, but the device is locked up at this point. You can't say yes or no, or do anything else for that matter.

Is there a way to start the device without loading any dll's at startup?

Thanks.

Keboard issues while on a call

Hello,

Last week, I upgraded to the Windows Mobile 6 ROM for my AT&T 8525, and I noticed a keyboard "bug" of some sort. Often when I am on a phone call I slide out my keyboard to type e-mails, or jot down notes, etc. I noticed that whenever I'm on a call, I can't type the letters "T, Y, U, I, H, J, K, V, B, N, M, or the period" These are the letters that correspond to

" 1,2,3,4,5,6,7,8,9,0,*,# " when you press them simultaneously with the funtion key. I can still type these letters if I use the on-screen keyboard, but not with the hardware keyboard. And again, this issue only occurs while on a call, and when I hang up, everything goes back to normal. Has anyone else experienced this problem? And does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix it? It's very annoying...other than that the WM6 ROM is a wonderful upgrade! :-)

Thanks

I installed this ROM on my ATT 8525. Every thing went well. But the problem I am facing is it's very very slow. All the applications are very slow. After soft reset I have 20 mb ram. I am using Iguidance 3.0 it was working fine on windows mobile 5 and now on windows mobile 6 it's taking lot of time to launch and the voice is very slow.

Even after closing the applications (from running programs in memory) I don't get back all the ram unless I soft reset.

Does any one have the same issue? Is there any update to this Rom since available here? Is there any better version ROM which uses less memory??

I am using the following version,

ROM 3.57.502.1

Hey guys, I’m pretty new at this and I’ve been read a lot of threads about upgrading to wm6. I've also looked at some of cooked ROMs. I heard various things about Vp3g's and Black's which I heard are good ROMs. But my real concern is ... do I have to make my phone a SuperCID/Sim Unlocked phone first? From what gather, if I do that it voids the warrenty on the phone and if it breaks from then on ... I’m on my own.

Hello. I've just installed this new rom. It's got a couple of caveats: you'll need to install ActiveSync 4.5 if you're on a XP SP2 machine, as my brand new phone came with 4.2 or 4.3, also I couldn't get the rom installer to install if I had an active connection with activesync even though it said that I needed to have one.

I have a similar issue. Just got a referb 8525 (my first "smartphone") a few days ago. it was an older ROM. I tried to update with the update ROM on the HTC site and now this one. Neither would go through.

one of two things happens:

1. I get a 3 color screen... Red, blue, green (I think those are the colors).

2. WHen I hit the update button the phone backlit goes off (as if in sleep mode) and it losses it connection.

I'm running:

PC

Windows Vista running "Windows Mobile Device Center" instead of activesync (as MS says to use this with Vista).

ROM is 1.34.502.1

That happened to me with my first AT&T flash. It was because I was doing it wrong. I was following the on-screen directions about when to do activesync but they're wrong.

This is what you do. You connect the phone, let it ActiveSync. Once that's done. Run the update all the way to the end. It'll disconnect ActiveSync (you'll see the icon disappear), the phone will go into bootloader mode (3 colors) and it'll start flashing.

The key is to do ActiveSync *before* running the update, and then launch the update after ActiveSync is done synchronizing.

Still dosen't work. If I connect the phone fisrt then double click th run the ROM I get the three color screen it disconnects. I continue anyway and it eventually says can't connect to device and to check the USB connection, my only it give me "Error [260]: connection.

If i start the by running the ROM first then connect when told I dont get the three color screen but still get the disconnect and the error (this time Erroe 264).

They are not going to answer us because I finally figured out the solution. Our phone's CID have to be unlocked for the Flash update to continue. In a lot of the forums, if your question is answered elsewhere, more than likely you will not get a response back from anyone; due to them feeling that our questions are stupid. But yeah, I did my research and found the solution. I'm not going to do the update b/c the 8925 comes out in a few weeks, so Im not going to go thru the hassle of paying to get the phone unlocked. And neither should you, b/c AT&T will put a "real" official update on the site in about 2 weeks. So good luck.

Reliability of this ROM

About 3 weeks ago, I installed the original ROM that is posted in this forum. "http://rapidshare.com/files/42972317/RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_3_1_.57.502.1_6275_1.48.00.00_108-ATT-MR3_Ship.exe"

It was on my phone for about 5 hours and it worked great. I went to work later that day and talked to a coworker who has my same phone. I talked to him about it and he said that since it is a cooked ROM, AT&T will not replace it if it bricks. In the time that I had it, I had no problems.

I just wanted to find out, has anyone's phone bricked or given them problems?

I'm thinking about reinstalling that WM6 ROM because AT&T is taking FOREVER to release the "Official" WM6 upgrade from their site.

Thank you.

Upgrading

I don't think they no one wants to help, its just that the answer is out there and it doesn't need to be repeated 100's of times. Personally if you don't feel comfortable following the directions then you shouldn't be flashing your phone, because then you may brick it and be out a few hundred $$$. Either way you can flash it fairly saftly if you follow the directions here http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_UpgradeForBeginners.

There are steps to unlock your CID and you don't have to pay for them. Then you can enjoy all the cooked ROM's out here, because it really makes owning your phone fun again.
