Has anyone figured it out? What would it take to get WM6 running on our HTC's? Is it just a mater of getting the OS from Microsoft and upgrade or is it a custom rom specifically made for our Hermes?

There is a photo on the official WM6 page from Microsoft with Crossbow running on what looks to be a Tytn.

Here is an article with a couple videos of Windows Mobile 6. One video shows Windows Mobile 6 in action and the other shows different devices with Windows Mobile 6 installed. Three of the devices are from HTC. They highlight a HTC Typhoon, a HTC Excalibur, and what looks like an HTC Herald. I just hope that the Windows Mobile 6 version has 3G.

No kidding I almost p'd my pants.
Bad Bad title.
the good old forum search for WM6 would have turned up plenty of reading on this topic.
lol So i see i got all of your attention, i guess its misleading because there's no "?" at the end and thats the whole point of my topic
But the fact of the matter is still not answered, i know there's lots of topics on WM6 but nothing as far as our Hermes so now that i got your attention can we put our head together and figure something out because if we wait for HTC to come up with something our phones most likely die out before we can get anything out of them.....
Be careful what you wish for. My old Dell Axim X50v came with Windows Mobile 2003SE on it.. everybody clammored for WM5 once it came out. Once we got the upgrade, it was a terrible upgrade with the MS BT stack, and a bunch of apps that previously worked, that now didn't... a LOT of the aximsite members went back to 2003SE.
By the way, the stickied thread about cooked ROMs has a large amount of discussion about WM6 (crossbow) already.
hahaha thanks for the teasing

Bimboy i am aware of the x50's and those upgrades, i owned one before i got the x51v and i am a member of aximsite as well but if you did some reading in to that x50 problem you would have noticed that they cant compare the x50 upgrade to WM5 as what would it take to update the x51v to WM6 as is not the same comparison and OS systems.... and WM5 is not much different then WM6 as what Mobile 2003 was to WM5.....
Also in the end read on how many guys are still enjoying their x50's with WM5 on them as well...So i think the HTC is very likely able to handled WM6 in the end.

@spirit: I see in another thread you got WM6 AND won an 8525? Lucky dog! I didn't get your comment in that post, though - something like "I guess WM6 is useless now?"
In the post above you write that you like WM6. You got it on your 8525?

I bought an unlocked HTC branded TyTN. It is a great device. It runs Window Mobile 5. I see possibilities from wireless carriers of an upgrade to WM6. Has anyone heard about an upgrade for those in my situation? I would love to get rid of the small bugs and have the new WM6 functionalities.
I have heard all of the ROMs had to be removed. Are there any (legal) prospects of being able to upgrade to WM6 for any Hermes variant?

Will some one come feed me at lunch today? I'm to lazy to pick up my own fork. Also, if you could pick me up before and drop me back off at the office after, that would be great!

This thread was 7 months old (BV - before Vanx) - can we not just leave it to die?
Can a mod lock it?
Cheers,
Smiffy.
Since the other thread has been locked, people are bound to start creating useless threads asking stupid questions over and over again, so I might as well create a "for dummies" thread that people *might* look at and not post...
Q: What OS is it?
A: WM6
Q: When will it be available?
A: Unknown
Q: What customizations will it have?
A: See first post of the real "XDA Live" thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=294809
Q: Is it from provider "X"?
A: No, it's from multiple ones, and you cannot be told which ones.
Q: Why isn't it released yet?
A: Because all identifying information in the ROM must be found and eliminated, otherwise kyphur's source may be fired from his/her job or worse. Does NDA mean anything to you?
That's all I can think of so far.
what OS is it again, and when will it be released
i couldnt resist, i had to be first
What is Windows Mobile? Does it run on MS Dos 6.22?

I did flash it with the "Universal ROM". It worked great and I think another name for the "Universal" is "Vanilla" and it will work on all devices especially the Palm 850. Has anyone seen the 850 yet?
**Partial serious post**
this is by far the most useless thread on here (except spam).. Normally i would lock something like this.. However, i think in the current situation with board and the whole M$ thing i think this is a good thread to let people finally shrug that pile of M$ sh!t off their shoulders and have a little fun before getting back to business..(hopefully the other mods agree with me).. so have some fun, but eventually this thread will have to go bye-bye
BTW i heard that kyphur and steve jobs were good buddies and he is going to release the iphone OS for the hermes this new rom will have it all, it will even wipe your a$$

This is probably the reason that drove JJ away. Seeing as this is a Hermes forum...i'd say a HERMES!
Black is only for HTC TYTN (aka Hermes). Are ports for others devides, for example HTC P3600.
But Black is only for TYTN.
its on my hermes already, notice the SPV quote in my last post.

The "SPV" bit tells us nothing.....it stands for Sounds, Pictures, Videos....
You could have an SPV M3100 (which we now know you have), or you could have a C500, M500, M600, M5000, C550, C600 - none of which would take kindly to having the Black ROM thrown at them, but ALL of which are SPV devices...
Some people tend to "knee jerk" in answer to "n00b" questions, don't take it to heart......just read a little more first (forums/wiki) before asking questions in the future

Hi,now it's sure,the Trinity will not benefit upgrade with the official wm6 rom.For info,read here
Check this out
http://www.dopodasia.com/global/hke/news/20070503_Dopod_WM6_upgrade.html
I 've already read this, but i think it's not for Htc Europe.
I donno where I've read it but I remember that dopod will upgrade the 3600 to wm6
Edit sorry losai already mention it
It's an old news you've got "Marcdu81" (april) !! Maybe the petition will have an effect !!
This is old news man! HTC already stated that if demand was high they would change views. I will not even bother posting the threads, go search yourself. Think before you post!
Sorry guys,but i've Phone to Htc France and they confirm : No wm6 for Trinity : I ask him this question : Why ? I wait again the answer !
I think you can wait a long time for nothing...There is no reason except "marketing" !!

You don't need a ROM from HTC. You can load the Dopod ROM to your device when it is released. If you need a French ROM, I'm sure that someone here will make one from the original Dopod D810 WM6 ROM.
i have an official email from Dopod Australia saying that they will be releasing a WM6 gps version soon (in the next couple of months).

Not quite the same getting your ROM from a company that re-badges these devices. I for one am way too lazy to change everything (boot splash etc) in the upcoming Dopod release to make it exactly like HTC.
I think a boycott of HTC phones is way overdue. Eten anyone?

it has been months. dopod aus never got the wm5 gps rom. i don't know why they are taking so long... probably because customer support doesn't make them money. even o2 was faster in releasing wm6 to atom life (and the support is crap, i've had 2 o2's)
by the time they release wm6 with gps rom, the d810, wm6 and even maybe gps will be obsolete, and we will all have a new device.

I know, but then... that's even more a reason to release it if one of your children companies is about to beat you to it.
Call me picky, but I want all the ROM version information/splash/logos etc all to be HTC.
HTC seems to have some automated response for my questions, even if you ask WHY the trinity ain't on the list of phones expecting an update, they send a link to the press release.
Growing a little tired of HTC lately, they're even removing the infrared port from their trinity-successor, Kaiser. What will I do with my $40 worth of TV remote software? Damn it!

I doubt if Kaiser will be released shortly - It has a Qualcomm chip in it, see http://www.boygeniusreport.com/gallery/handsets/htc-kaiser-unboxing/?pid=668#picture_nav
The US ITC has banned imports on phones with Qualcom chip with immediate effect. See http://www.nytimes.com/2007/06/08/business/08phone-web.html

Already available for some PPC users, M$ kicked off today @ XDA and got the item removed... Doubt any of the Dash users will see WM6.5 unless someone ports it, as no new ROMs have been officialy produced and not even an official WM6.1...
So we can dream and wait till the Dash 2 and see what we get?
