Does anyone know when the Dash with WM6 preinstalled will be available from T-Mobile?
(Currently an MDA user. Thinking of getting a Dash due to lighter weight, thinner, and phone buttons. I might as well wait until they come with WM6 preinstalled. I might also wait until I find a good deal for upgrading to the Dash. (My T-Mo contract has expired.) )
Good question, I would love to know that too. I thought the WM6 ROM was going to be released in late March but that never happened. Looks more like May now. Most likely they are still working out the bugs...
Any time now

I disagree with this statement. My T-Mobile Business Account Team told me wm6 on the Dash is slated for early May 2007. They apparently already have a final build of the ROM and are ramping up device stock in preparation for the first WM6 device to hit the market.
As with all carrier related news, believe it when you see it, but I feel it is not far off now.
according to european wholesale suppliers (dangaard and brightpoint)
it's not I wish to kill the good spirit, I just fw the intel, but also hope it'll be quick
Dash WM6 Official Release
I spoke with an engineer at T-Mobile, and the official release is tentatively set for the week of 5/4. This is just for the ROM upgrade, not for the Dash preloaded with WM6.

Yep, that's what I was told.
From jumpin from forum to forum I read that it would possibly be May 4 but this is only what was said from others.
WM6 for the Dash is now available
I just downloaded it from T-Mobile's website. Just login to your account and go to support, downloads.
or try this URL

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 ?
This is probably well known by now but I've had a quick scan and can't see it mentioned anywhere on this forum but T-Mo UK have gone all official and published the WM6 update on their site.
http://www.tm-phonedownloads.com/
I'm downloading it now so I don't have any details of what's in it or what versions everything is...but I will shortly
Cheers,
Smiffy.
..and finally for all those needing it, the original Tmobile UK WM5 Shipping ROM
About time too. Downloading, may try it but I am pretty happy with Schaps rom these days.....
Good news, please provide more info about the ROM when you get a chance...thx
anyone going to rip the radio out of this one and make it available for everyone else?
im assuming it should have some enhancements as its newer?
Working UK T-Mobile WM6
Works a treat, has all the basic ROM functions you expect with the Vario II.
ROM 3.60.110.4 Radio 1.50.00.00
Storage 38.89MB free Program 28.52MB free
X-button 1.0, Office 2k3, Internet sharing, blah-blah-blah.... So far so good.
Keep trying this update and keep getting Error 260, basically saying phone not connected. Have updated to Hardspl etc and all that worked, any ideas?

Been around for a while now clicky

Sorry if this has been flagged but has anyone heard from T-Mobile UK to say if this "Official"? Everytime i e-mail them they give the same silly response saying "WM6 will not be available for the MDA Vario 2"

Thanks, that was a most useful post. I'd never seen it before you know. Totally passed me by.
The link I posted, however, takes you to the genuine T-Mobile website for downloading updates not a "stumbled-upon" HTC page, which means...
A) There is a link to the original WM5 ROM from T-Mob; and
b) People can see it is genuine and approved by T-Mobile as it is posted on their official update site.
Still, got your post count up a bit eh?
Smiffy.
THANKYOU!
to the person that pointed out this has been arround for a while... That is true (Ive been running it now for a few months)
HOWEVER this is FANTASTIC news in terms of no longer fearing that i will void my warentee if i upgrade to WM06.
time to update my sister and dad's varioII also.
Yes, this is the official TMUK downloads page. I work for TMUK and this is the site we are directed to when customers ask about updates for WM phones.
Hi all,
I've just put this build on my phone - thought I was going to have to get it replaced under warranty, but that's another story.
Anyway, you can find this build of software by navigating through the official T-Mobile UK web site, so it is official.
If you go to this link: http://www.t-mobile.co.uk/help-and-advice/phone-support/software-updates/
You'll see a link for MDA/SDA series devices, and this takes you to the site mentioned in the original post.
Also I had someone in a T-Mobile store check my phone out today, and they didn't make any comments regarding flashing. And I've had a few builds of radio and WM6 on the phone in the past few months!
The build looks pretty good so far - it seems very speedy compared to previous builds I've had on my phone, but then I haven't re-installed everything yet...

It's worth having IMHO.... simple, works perfectly and supported. Not as quick as some of the fine ROMs in this forum, not as sexy neither, but you can go mod happy after you've given it a go...
Good luck,

WinMo6 NOT supported by T-Mobile Uk
HI there
I recently upgraded to WinMo6 off the T Mobile site and while it seems better than WinMo5 on the my Vario II, I had a couple of problems.
First, my screen goes white when I plug it into my car kit, something that never happened in WinMo5.
Secondly, Terminal Services Client has been removed. I have got Remote desktop from Xda developers but it still has problems.
So I thought I would contact T-Mobile to see if they have an official version of Remote Desktop and if they could help with the screen white thing.
After 5 mins of speaking to the CS, they finally realised it was a Vario and quickly passed me to Tech Support. I then had an interesting conversation with one of the girls there. She first implied that the upgrade was not official and T-Mobile UK have not released an upgrade. Then after that she then said that WinMo6 is NOT supported by T-Mobile. I told her that T-Mobile sell devices with WinMo6 installed and she said that on those devices T-Mobile only limited support them.
I left it at that and rang back to speak to a supervisor. The person I talked to was a bit more helpful. He said that the upgrade was actually released by mistake and there is talks within T-Mobile to pull the upgrade down to problems with stabilty in WinMo6!!! He said I should downgrade back to WinMo5 so the phone would be supported again!!
Personally, I think this is shocking on the part of T-Mobile. To release software with no support at all is bad. There is no disclaimer or statement saying that if you upgrade your phone will not be supported. Also after speaking to Tech Support a few times now and also to staff at T-Mobile Retail, the standard line of repair for faults on WinMo devices is a hard reset.
After all this, I'm wondering if it's just better to install a Unofficial ROM from someone who has spent time and effort to get the best out of an otherwise great phone and just downgrade for warranty purposes.

I dont know what t-mobiles stance is right now all i know just about is that WM6 isnt suppost to be supported on WM5 devices and that they were suppost to stay on WM5 untill they became end of life (EOL) on t-mobile, however i dont seem to have any issues with my Vario 2 on WM6 (was funny to see people reactions when i was messing with touch cube) Tech should already be trained on WM6 for MDA touch and vario 3 any how and it shouldnt be much different from WM5 any how (at least i think so) and dont bother talking to a retail store about anything that runs windows.... they will be like a chimpansee with parkinsons.

I agree, I updated mine to the official TMob WM6, as I needed to return for repair a faulty front button. I was speaking to a guy in technical and found he had the same phone. I mentioned I had upgraded to WM6; "Its not official, you have just voided your warranty!" I explained that it had come from the T-Mobile UK site; but he said the actual download was from the .com site. So it was not official.
Anyway, went down to T-Mobile store and booked in for repair. On the form I signed it even said its T-Mobile policy to upgrade all phones to latest version, so back your data up!!
They need to get their act together!
I upgraded to wm6 about a month back... all worked well the phone was a replacement about 3 months old. Then about a week ago the screen seemed to die after about 3 min after a hard reset. SO i sent it off and now have another new replacement. I am not sure if this was due in some way to WM6. Anyhow should i upgrade again.. i want touch cube can this be dome on wm5?
i just purchased my tp2 it came with 6.1 ...now ive been reading
about differant roms you can install...now im clueless to all this can i get tmobile to install 6.5 on my phone..i keep reading how to do it but it seems so difficult
You can get a cooked rom with 6.5 (or even 6.5.3), but that's if you want to void your warrenty.
If you don't want to void your warrenty, and not in a rush, you can wait till Janauray 6th, supposedly T-mobile is supposed to be released their 6.5 update for the Dash 3G and TP2 on that day.
Let's hope that it's true.
will the update install automatically ...

Here's where T-Mobile (USA) has offered previous upgrades to previous Windows Mobile phones:
Windows Mobile Upgrade
So seems like it'll appear there....and direct from HTC on their page for the T-Mo TP2.
When I went to purchase my TP2 at a tmobile store in November, they had a displayed TP2 running on 6.5. I asked if mines come with 6.5 and they said no, but they said that I should be able to upgrade it by early December. Now it seems that I will have to wait a couple or perhaps a few more weeks again (if nothing gets delayed). By the time the official 6.5 upgrade is out, I hear that winmobile 7 is already making its way out sometime early in 2010. Knowing that, I no longer want to wait for the official release of 6.5 and would just rather installed an unofficial released instead, but like Rickmasta said, it will void the warranty on the phone and the TP2 is a really pricey phone.

As long as you flash back to stock and then reset the HSPL then your warranty will be fine....
will i have to install the knew 6.5 from the tmobile site ....and what are the pros/cons vs 6.1
You can install a cooked ROM 6.5 that is much better than any official one!
Have a look here to learn how to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
Pros: 6.5 more finger friendly, better UI, newest
Cons: 6.5 much more RAM hungry than 6.1 but with proper tweaking that will not be a prob
Good luck,
and don´t forget to vote!

Phones by/for Sprint and Verizon networks are CDMA devices -- it's the kind of cell-radio/band/system they use (something like that).
In the USA, T-Mobile and ATT are GSM networks -- this is what your T-Mobile phone works with.

That's interesting. A TP2 with WM6.5 loaded on it, displayed in a T-Mobile store, even before they released the official ROM to the T-Mobile crowd.
I think I may have read somewhere (I don't recall exactly where) that WM7 will be delayed to mid-late 2010. However, knowing XDA, we'll probably see some WM7 ROMs early in the new year.
boy i would love do one of cooked roms ...but i wish there was a video step by step ...because im not that savvy with all the technical jargon...if it had it screen for sreen boy that would help so much ...but for now ill go with the tmobile upgrade

In the link, there's a link on installing HardSPL.
Since the majority of the ROMs here are intendend for the WWE Unlocked version of th TP2, you will need some fixes, which you can find here (if you have different carrier-modified TP2, like the T-Mobile or the Tilt2).
boy have given me hope wingster if very helpfull with the install
thanks sumflipnol
I'm guessing that they won't release anything over the long weekend, so if it doesn't drop today we're looking at the end of next week? (I'm on Voda and can live without it, but the flickering is driving me crazy...)
(I know the numbers in the title don't accord with Voda/3 - I'm should have just entitled it 1.29, but wanted to make it clear that I'm referring to .11 and not .07)
Im not expecting Voda to release it any time soon. Bloody Vodafone.

Yeah true, I just hate the fact that everyone has to wait on their respective network provider to test and release the updates on their own software before its released to the public.
I expect that the reports of people 'losing' storage post the update may be slowing down the certification.
I've no problem with them testing updates (it's them who'd have to deal with customers with broken phones) but the lack of information is nuts - they should learn from the Windows update saga that MS had to manage with the upgrade to Mango.
Childishly pressing check for updates around every 10 mins myself - don't know about you guys...
No update in Hong Kong for unbranded devices. We got 1.28 at exactly the same time as UK, 1.29 came very similar, but the second 1.29 hasn't arrived. So don't feel too bad.

Branded Vodafone Spain here, also waiting to 1.29 I don't mind waiting if they are testing it, but please give us some information!!
I don't have any screen flicker, but I've lost 10gb of space!, I know I can reformat my sd space but it seems pointless until I get the update.
On 3 UK The 1,29 is in testing and they haven't a clue when it's going to be released. Hopefully the end of the week. If not I'm ranting at Three support again.

Re: Just Vodafone UK and 3 left for 1.29.401.11
Vodafone UK and 3 won't get 1.29.401.11 if they are branded, will they? So I'm guessing the OP was talking about the equivalent update?
So was I. Oh sorry, HK versions don't affect you and you're so narrow minded that you can't even see that it's not relevent for an unbranded regional update to come after branded ones?

Looks like later next week now for us, which will mean we get it five weeks after non-branded phones and two weeks after 02 (at best.) Not great, is it Vodafone?
I think, Vodafone had been fast, with the 1.28.
But i still don't understand, why they didn't realese the 1.29 yet.

never call vodafone CS and ask when the latest firmware upgrade is due...I've spoken to 3 different "tech guys" and all of them have said the same infuriating thing. "The HTC One X is already on the latest version of Android". Thats not what i asked you moron.
Cant complain too much as i got a 50% discount on my upgrade, so i suppose im getting 50% of the level of customer service shouldve paid the extra money instead and gone to phones4u

I'm pretty happy with Voda and can live without .11 for a while, although it would be nice to get rid of the flickering. It isn't the end of the world, but it is surprising that they are taking such a long time to sort things and doesn't fill me with confidence.
My HTC is unbranded. Still on 1.28 so the title is a big fat lie.

What's your full version number? I thought all unbranded phones had at least the first 1.29 OTA sent out.
This is getting beyond a joke, now. Voda are generally pretty quick off the blocks, but we are now entering the sixth week since this update emerged and there is still nothing from them. Is this how it's going to be from now on?
