I have seen at least two cycles of WM5 link -> WM6 link and back again. I have a feeling that this has changed because of the way I connect - directly on my broadband or via my company's VPN. Anyway, the WM6 link is on the page again.

For me, this is the first time in my life to like an official ROM, after about 15 hours of using it as it is (with all that bloats of At&T) and it was very fast and stable, i do hard reset and i have cancelled the sitting up of extended rom matters. Now, i have 39 mega storage and 29 mefa programs. I will install some must have and see the final freee memory i'll have.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] edbutler:
You must have canceled the AT&T software install There is no way you got all the ram and storege. Don't get me wrong I am glad you are happy, but I have seem other post with the same mem as my install. if you bypassed the setup install then you have a somewhat clean install no demo or AT&T stuff. so if that is the case and you are happy then I am happy for u. I was just reporting my experence. that is what we do around here! I to will look foreward to vp3g and others waking this rom into shape.

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vbulkin:
It DOES show 44.7 MB of Storage and 48.77MB Program Mem... As Total Memory, NOT Free :-)

Not to say that the ROM is bad. It actually feels very snappy. expect to have about 24.5MB free program memory after loading ms live, htc home...

Windows Mobile 5 back up.

I just went to the HTC america support website. WM5 is back up. No WM6
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] chp:
It looks like a lot of confusion comes from the fact that HTC apparently has two separate websites for North America that look similar, but only one is up-to-date.

The up-to-date site: http://www.america.htc.com

The other site: http://www.htcamerica.net

What about goodlink

The HTC site says "At this time, Good Mobile Messaging is not supported on the AT&T 8525 with Windows Mobile 6. It is recommended that Good Mobile Messaging users not upgrade their device’s firmware at this time. Please note that once the latest firmware has been loaded, it can not be undone. "

However, my goodlink administrator has updated my client to Good Mobile Messaging client version 5.0.0.67 which he heard from Good that version 5 clients it work with WM6.

Any advice on going ahead with it? While I've used ROM's in the past I've been waiting for the official as I didn't want any disruption around my email device and was just short of time to try out something from the community.

If I go down this path, I assume the tools available on this community will let me change the ROM back to something else even if it isn't supported by AT&T?

More than anything I just need to make sure the email works, even if I have a minor workaround or two to deal with.

Many thanks,

Josh

Can't wait to see Vp3G work his magic on this baby!!!

Come on VP!! We're counting on ya!!

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] asfoor:
I think the reason this ATT OEM ROM is faster than those offered by cooks here is that there is no .dll file conflict. All progs and files are in sync and operate without a glitch. I have been running this Rom for over 15 hours without any glitch of any kind. I can type while on call. Streaming music gets muted while a phone call in progress and comes back on when done. Internet is fast, No call drops , I also use the Resco I-radio without a glitch... all that without the phone getting hot. With Schaps I can fry an egg on the phone, with VP3g I can warm a cup of coffee. I have 4 HTCs and I run all 4 simultaneously with 4 different Roms and the ATT wins on overall performance.

I am not saying I will stick to this one... I can only imagine how great the ATT Rom will end up to be when VP3g and Schap get done with it. These two guys are incredible and deserve all the praise. I can't wait for their future ROMs.

Wreckerdude,

The program your describing is HTC Home, if you go to Pandora's Kitchen you should find it there, and if aren't familiar with cooking I believe you can find a .cab file for it around here.

Gentlemen,

I am working on stripping out this ROM, I've already stripped out the PTT, and the Voice Command, I'm kind of stuck on Real Player, does anyone know the exact files, and .dll's that need to be removed. I have a copy of Realplayer as a .cab file, but the files that are in the .ROM, aren't in the .cab file. Does, anyone have any ideas?

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] vp3G:
Pretty much "as expected"...

If they changed anything between .2 and .3, it wasn't much. Only thing I've found thus far is the complete removal of Windows Live vs. just killing the shortcuts. That would account for the reports of an increase in available storage. Claims that it's "significantly faster" than the last are delusional, IMO.

Nevertheless, I will be updating vp3G v3.62 to use this build before I retire from the Hermes cooking game. Stay tuned.... :)

Broken Good Mobile Messaging

AT&T had to come up with some kind of excuse for not releasing the WM6 upgrade during Q3 2007 as was stated on their web site. My favorite conspiracy theory is that they were waiting until Tilt sales had died down a little bit. Obvious, but probably true.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Squuiid:
The radio on this ROM sucks.

Signal drops for no apparent reason, then reestablishes itself on its own after a few seconds, but MS Push email stops working. Activesync displays "waiting for connection' and never reconnects.

I can't believe we waited this long for this ROM and AT&T release a pile of sh*t.

What is the use if this ROM cannot be used in a corp environment!
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Squuiid:
OK, seems the ROM has been pulled from the site... again!

(I'm not surprised to be honest)

[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] naveen:
my reception has been great with this new radio.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] Squuiid:
Yes, but since the signal reconnects within seconds you wouldn't have noticed an issue unless you use Microsoft Push email. Push will stop syncing.

Am guessing you don't, as we now have about 30 devices on this new ROM and it is causing nightmares.

I agree. Yesterday I got the first "remote modem has disconnected you" bull****, which I've never seen on a Hermes (though I did see it occassionally with my Wizards)

Today, noticed my PDA in Miami (which is 3G) was reporting a G right after I hung up the phone... a few seconds later it was an E, then it went to 3G.... most odd, going back to the previous radio myself.

Actually it's reporting the same radio version..... hmmmmm...

Does anyone else have this issue and know how to fix it? Is there a way to install windows live (which is suppose to be included) in my device? Thanks

VP3G HELP!!!! lol. I seriously think I am starting to like your cooked rom a lot better. This rom is fast but I think that is because they pulled windows live... All too sad that ATT is sucking like this.

Hello I am kind of new to all this, not meaning that I am not used to fiddling with devices, just that I just got my first HTC, a TYTN, which is one of the European names for the Hermes.

My questions is whether it is ok for me to use this WM6 upgrade on my European version of the phone, ie. it is not an At&T phone.

I already have WM6 installed (an older rom), but it is a Norwegian version, and albeit it is my natve tongue, I cannot stand the translations they do on the system, so I really want an English version on it instead, hence my desire to install this ROM :D

Thx in advance

It will be ok to upgrade as long as you have unlocked the phone and have appropriate boot loader (SPL). Read the WIKI page, links on the top to understand...dont just flash before you read throughly, if you do, you will brick the phone...

I'll tell you why, because their latest 'Official' WM5 ROM was a pile of sh*t too, and it couldn't get any worse than that one. Turns out it is exactly the same regarding this issue, so lose - lose.

Have lost all faith in AT&T releasing any reliable MS Push WM ROM for the 8525.

vp3G, if you know of one, PLEASE TELL ME. Unfortunately, it must be an 'official' AT&T release due to our AT&T contract otherwise I can assure you I would have gone with one of yours.

One tip from the Engadget post comments: if after the upgrade you can no longer make or receive calls, remove the battery and SIM card from the phone, and put them back in.
[8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development] mthomas:
I've been using vp3g with this same radio for about six weeks now, and not having issues in northern calif, tahoe, and reno.

I mention this because it does not seem their are any significant differences in the builds.
