Hi, i just got a tytn, its sim unlocked and im using it on t mobile, but the phone has vodaphone branding and stuff so im thinking of changing the rom.
I was gonna put a tmobile rom on but now ive been reading all of this about different roms and radios, whats the best rom/radio versions to go with?
WM5 5.1.195 build 14955.2.3
ROM 1.20.161.6 date 08/02/06
Radio 1.03.06.00
protocol 32.34.7010.01w
Appreciate any advice, Thanks

I use the xda live wm6 with radio 1.38

Indeed. What are you looking for? If it's simply the latest and greatest, I would say you should do these upgrades in order:
1. Hard-SPL (for safe flashing)
2. Radio 1.38.00.10 (latest Hermes radio)
3. WM6 Black Edition v1.1 (a very nice WM6 ROM)
That's what I use, and it works well for me.
after reading up i realize what you mean, i like the idea of WM6 Black, so should be doing it this weekend. Thanks for the advice
I think Black v1.2 should be released this week, so you'll definitely be getting cutting (maybe bleeding?) edge stuff then

It might be worth holding off a bit... WM6 Black 1.1 has some reports of slow operation (which jasjamming is fixing). His next, soon, release fixes this and also includes tadzio's extra memory. Also on April 1st Kyphur is releasing WMXL 0.30 which the beta testers also report as **** hot.
I've tried them all and had no real problems, but I'm not a heavy user or use certain applications which could slow the phone or cause conflicts.
I'm guessing from your moniker that you're from the North of England - I'm in the South on Vodafone. I use radio 1.38 and LSVW OS. The reason for my choices - radio is great (for phone, wifi, gprs etc) and rom is pretty!!! (no more or less stable than the others).

I would have guessed non-UK because he spelled "realize" with a "z" but I'm not quite from that area, so I wouldn't know

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.

To be fair, he said "next weekend" so I am not if it will be this weekend or next weekend. At least he said he would do it. I was so dissapointed when he said he was not going to. I am so glad he changed his mind because I believe his are the best releases - without peer.
Lvsw - The Best!!!!
I absolutely agree with you!!!
I tried many different ROM and always went back to this one.
I second your observation.
LVSW is the best WM6 for any Hermes. Test them all, but always always revert back to LVSW. It is stable, fast and not filled with software I would never use. If I want extra, I will get myself..knowing if software behave badly it is not LVSW, but the addition...which I alway delete immediately.

Thanx for the correction! Here's the link for those who wanna know! http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=307951&page=43
So far I am agreeing with you guys, LVSW so far is the best one. I am rather new in this and just recently started flashing my phone, my first one was the Black Shadow 4.
This rom looks really nice, but kept freezing and crashing, I had to soft reset the phone most times....
After reading more in the forums, decided to try for the LVSW rom....
And so far I am happy with one, it has not crashed or anything of the sort yet.
Good one.... I would recommend
Although I think I may well become addicted to all this flashing and try out more roms....
i had contacted with LVSW some time ago and he replied that most probably he will not do it in WWE
i was really hoping he will do it, tho...

Since he recanted his original statement that he would not release, saying he would do it "next weekend", we are all anticipating a great release. I, for one, am very anxious to get my hands on it.
He said in a posting here he may in the coming weeks.

I've been very disappointed with Black Shadow and really want to flash this new rom, but i need WWE. I don't want to use the 5-19 if he's coming out with a new WWE version
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

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.

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.
I am planning on purchasing a sprint diamond in a week. can I flash roms even though it is cmda,not hsdpa? i was not sure since it appears my hermes only has flashing for att usa and t-mobile gsm carriers.
no response
Just wanted to see if anyone had an answer on this one? I may end up holding off on the Sprint Diamond if I cant modify it? Just wanted to know if the Diamond needs to be a gsm rather than cmda to flash the roms here on this site.
Im also very interested im thinking that it will have to be separate roms but if some one could set me straight that would be good
well
it appears no one knows the answer to our question. my guess is you cannot flash roms unless they are cmda versons. I think I will ask the same question in the Hermes section since they respond when asked a question. looking forward to getting a diamond of tpro.

Sorry for the question. I just didnt want to buy the cmda version if i couldn't modify it. with this info, I think I would be better off waiting for gsm version in the states although it seems the touchpro is coming to att soon. it sucks that only sprint and verizon are carrying the diamond except for a 700.00dollar unlocked hsdpa version at best buy but no way I am paying that for a phone. anyway, thanks again for the assistance. Have a good day.
There are CDMA ROMs starting to show up now. I just released a relatively stable one a few days ago.

sorry I dont have an answer to your question but I am buying the diamond next week from Sprint. how do you like it thus far? is the data network fast?
New Rom needed
Ok I have a sprint Diamond for a week now and I cannot stand the sprint Rom.
It is so slow, locks up, drives me nuts.
I love the phone and all it has to offer but I need it to run better, stronger, faster.
What ROM will work with a SPRINT CDMA Diamond?
Juicy CDMA rom appears to me, to be very stable. 2.2 is very nice, and he is planning a release of 2.4 any time now.

I love the phone so far. It's definitely the best one Sprint has had in a while.
The network is fast. Battery seems to last as expected.
Might have to get mine replaced though, one of the LED lights on the scroll wheel seems to be completely off- just a factory defect.
Much nicer than the touch.
Can't seem to figure out the latest radio version for it though.
apreciate it!

Thanks for the info. I think I might pull the trigger on this one. I with t-mobile now and just wanted to make sure the network was good. you hear alot of bad things about Sprint but they seem to claim to have the fastest 3g network. on mobile speed sites like dls, Sprint usually ranks number 1 ahead of verizon and att. thanks again.
I just receive my touch pro 2 today and was surprised to see it now ships with a version of sense 2.5.
My phone has Manila version 2.5.20121225.0
And ROM version 2.07.401.1 (80303)
I've not seen this before and haven't seen upgrades available to this version so was a little surprised. I didn't think 2.5 ran very well on devices below the snapdragon processor and especially didn't think these devices would ever ship with it!
Seems to work quite well though, pretty fast for a factory ROM.

What carrier model was it, or is it unbranded? And what channel did you buy it through?

I'd like to know the same questions. Who did you get the phone from? what carrier?
the phone came as an unlocked HTC device from a supplier we use at work.
they were actually out of stock for 2 weeks so this is fresh stock from HTC, wonder if there will be an upgrade. would also be interested to see the chefs start from a 2.5 rom thats already designed for a lower spec device!

Can we assume that it's a WWE (world-wide english) ROM? I agree that there's going to be a lot of people here who will want to get to tinker with that...do you think you're adept enough to be able to follow instructions on how to extract a copy of your ROM for devs to play with?
