Hi All,
Just spoke to my Vodafone corporate account manager, and he tells me that the AKU2 update will be available for the v1640 within the month.
When it's out, you will be able to download it from:
http://www.vodafone.co.uk/dataworld
Bagpuss.
i've been reliably informed that its due tomorrow
oh and the HTC Hermes is due June 06
I just wish that release dates on these sort of things were even half way reliable.
nice one! At last I will be able to run the latest rom on my universal and it be a Vodafone branded one too! Ive never known vodafone to release firmwares for there htc handsets so this will be a first!

i know. vodafone are really really bad at this kind of thing. if you want a Blackberry, they'll bend over backwards. but Windows Mobile? "erm, its not on our list, sorry"
anyhoo, moan over. i've been told that the update should appear on this website: http://www.vodafone-dataworld.co.uk/default.aspx?pageId=21. at the moment, theres only a Blackberry update there (oh the irony)
Here's something interesting that just happened to me today.
Brief story:
Last week I purchased a TyTn from a user here and when I got it, it had the screen alignment issue. Rather than fiddling with it, I just sold it as such.
So, I got a fairly good deal on a new 8525 from directly from AT&T. I just got it, powered it on and saw... WM6! Let me repeat, this was a direct purchase from AT&T. The version of WM6 on it is the same build found here, 17944.0.3.1. The radio on it is 1.48.00.00.
So, although the software on it is nothing new, I thought it would be something interesting to note that AT&T is shipping WM6 with their 8525s now... I guess.
I wonder when they're going to be posting the rom on the HTC website itself.
Very Interesting, call them and ask for support just to **** with them since I know ATT wont know what to do!
Now if they would just start shipping the kaisers we would be all set and has the two most powerfull phones on the market today!!
that is pretty interesting though since I think the AT-T rom out of the box had many bugs and issues. I know I spent a few hours getting the kinks out when I cooked up my custom AT-T rom. thanks for sharing though... as I say in my SA group

I assumed they would have posted the ROM before shipping devices with them myself.

Hehe. Would they even know WM6 is?
so have you flashed their bloat-ware ROM off of it yet?
haha
Well TB this is interesting, no? Is one thing to purchase a used Hermes on Ebay that has jj or faria's stamp on it but this is official....
And @austinsync regarding the official ROM, the biggest complaint with me and mine is the radio... that dawg just don't hunt here in So FLA. Taking everyone back to the 1.40. The basic ROM, bypassing the ext ROM, wasn't bad... vg3g did a bad ass job on cleaning it up, major kudos. Am finding the majority of my peoples' complaints due to the 1.48 radio.
Thanks TB for that update!

Yeah, I was pretty surprised. And I've only made a couple calls on it so far, but I have to say it's not bad. The call quality with 1.48 seems good.
@GldRush98, I'm definitely going to "upgrade" this thing today. But, I'm pretty impressed by the speed and stability of the ROM so far. I'll probably do a ROM dump before I flash something else on it. Just in case someone wants it... for whatever reason.
I would like to see if the same exact one as the rom that's on this forum so let me know when you dump it please.

LMFAO!! I would pay to hear the phone conversation.
I just got mine last week but it had WM5.... of course it doesn't now!!!!!
I'm getting a brand-new AT&T 8525 (probably tomorrow) to replace my current Cingular 8525 with loose stylus (long story but the refurb they sent was crap so I complained nicely...)
I'll be interested to see what OS comes on it now but I am thinking of selling it new-in-box to help pay for the Kaiser...
I bought an AT&T branded 8525 on 7-23-07. It came with WM5. And, the AT&T store where i bought had just received it that morning.

I suppose mine could have been some kind of anomaly, but a welcome one. It was still shipped in the newer AT&T box that listed the OS on the front as WM5 with the "Coming in 2007, Windows Mobile 6 Upgrade" bullet at the bottom.
But I suppose all this doesn't matter a whole lot for me. I've already loaded up my own custom ROM and didn't really take advantage of this good fortune.
Does it seem ANY different from the one posted in my thread Taurus?

Hey Madcap. I was without a phone at the time, so I never got to checking it out. I'll flash it in just a little bit and see if I can find any differences.
Ok, Let me know.. would be interesting if there are different features maybe.

Just checked it out, and it's identical to the one you posted. Same build, build date, etc. All the programs match up too. Nothing more or less in either, it appears.
Nice.
A coworker and I just got 8525's about 1 month ago....we finally complained loud enough to our AT&T rep and he is going to wave the 30 day return policy and take our old 8525's back and give us the new 8925's. Hopefully it'll be a good upgrade for us.
My main problem is we've already up graded to WM6. Should I "downgrade" to WM5 since that's what they came with our not worry about. I have not told him yet that we upgraded our phones but I also don't want to upset him since he is offering good customer support/service.
thanks,
Paul
its called the tilt not the flip. and no u dont have to downgrade because wm6 is out for the 8525...

True but I'd suggest installing the Official AT&T ROM....
very good point.. i overlooked that. on a sad note, this may be my last post in the hermes forum due to the fact that my baby boy tilt will be arriving tuesday or wensday!
(got it thru XBM ..they are now exchanging 8525s for 8925s if u've had 3 or more 8525s)
XBM? Gotta link?
XBM = Xchange By Mail, it is the warranty replacement department.
yes, and after 3 8525s u have the option to change to a different make a model. i pushed for the tilt saying its the most compitable with the 8525 they offered a 750v but i kept insisting on a tilt so they finally gave in.
great job on achieving the update! I bought my imate jasjam overseas so no update for me
i'm considering trading it in on importgsm.com but i'm not sure if i'll get more for it from them or wait till i head back to the middle east in december.
enjoy the kaiser! i can't wait till i get my hands on one for myself!
Thanks folks....Since I did not backup this unit before installing WM6, can anyone tell me which ROM I need to install so it'll be "factory fresh".
thanks again!

I think there is one still out there on the HTC website. I recently ordered a Tilt as well and should be coming in Wednesday.
Here is the link to download the Official WM6 download. I can't see why ATT would have problem exchanging it if it had the official WM6 release.
http://download.america.htc.com/RUU...502.3_6275_1.54.07.00_108_UOOS_SVN05_Ship.exe
It's not the official WM6 release. It's some cooked one that I found on this site...Last night I dl'ed RUU_Hermes_CINGULAR_WWE_2_1_.15.502.3_6275_1.40.30.00_108_Ship
I'm hoping this is the right one. I'm kind of a newbie and I really don't want to brick this 8525 before I send it back.
8925 Exchange is real!
I co-sign Jakeypoo 100 percent! Today I called AT&T and complained about my 8525. Well, it's been my 3rd warranty exchange device and all I told the lady is that the problem I've been having is a chronic issue and that I would like a difference device. She put me on hold, then got back on the line and offered a Motorola Q, The Treo 750, and the 8925 as options. Of course I chose the 8925. They are sending me a brand new full kit too! To think I almost bought one three week ago too? The new device should be here on Friday so advice to you guys, if you've had a couple warranty replacements, call in and get your new Tilts!
Ok no my Q is After we make a Sprite Back Up
Wht if i Loose my Phone, But have saved the Sprite backed up from my Storage card on my PC in a Folder
So if damged or Lose my phone, wil Buy a NEW
If i put my Sprite Backup in a NEW Tilt phone & restore it,
will it make it Just like my OLD phone ?
Hey guys, I came across this! Apperently Voda has released an update for the tp2! Follow this link!
http://devicehelp.vodafone.co.uk/firmwaredevice.php?ModelID=384&e=0
Now all it says is that you can improve efficiancy my downloading this new update! What in the name of god does that mean? thats a very vague description of an update! Anyway i have downloaded it but not yet flashed it to my phone!
Anyone who has flashed it can let us know how efficient their phones become!
PS.. I wish they have gotten rid of the GOD awful Voda theme!
Elfangor
I'm sure I have seen this mentioned elsewhere, I think this is just the standard software, they have just got around to putting on their website.
Vodafone TP2 Update
Hardly worth the updater to be honest best option is to dump the rom and hardspl your phone then upgrade the rom to 6.5
This is definately an update. My phone is a couple of months old and it's ROM is 1.14.161.5, the new ROM is 1.14.161.6, which is what the more recent phones are already coming with. I want to know what the updates/improvements are before I flash it.
Let us know how it goes on
Cheers
Barney
The only question I have, is does the update get rid of the awful red and white background and change it to a "proper" all black one?
I wouldn't bother mate , i've gone from the branded voda rom and never looked back since... get it hardSPL'd and stick a nice stable Win6.5/ Manilla 2.1 ROM on it, you wont regret it.
Company phone! Have to stick with the official one unfortunately. at least until the guarentee runs out.
cheers
Barney
Has anyone heard anything? Has anything being leaked? This daily problem with the restriction on app space is driving me insane and I am really trying not to root my device to get around it.
nothing has been announced/confirmed yet, though apparently tomorrow something might come up
Yes tomorrow (or later today for UK) is the most likely time that we can best guess at based upon the Google I/O schedule.
However it's probably more likely nothing will be mentioned tomorrow and we will have to wait longer.
Time shall reveal all!
There will be an Android announcement tomorrow. That and Google TV will be the big stories of the day.
Google seem to think so, anyway...

Announcement was any time up to December this year :-(
