Any idea if this also be for US based phones (Cingular 8525)?

there is a very good chance the next cingular rom as well as the others will be an AKU3x rom..

[tco]

there is a very good chance the next cingular rom as well as the others will be an AKU3x rom..

I wonder if this will be ATT branded?

[sergiopi]

Great news, because this also means that someone there, were only waggener edstrom is admitted :) is listening US!

[shogunmark]

I wonder if this will be ATT branded?

Its doubtful.. Right now at this time its only the business customer side of cingular that has changed their name to ATT. The residential customer side is still cingular and has not changed branding yet, they are still crying about the amount of money its going to take to re-brand..

[doedoe]

The ROMs are AKU3.3

[shogunmark]

The ROMs are AKU3.3

thats a very good possibility :D

[staulkor]

Awesome news, but...Im wondering something. What benefits do you get with a 3.X AKU compared to our 2.X AKU right now?

[mxlaser]

Faster response
More stability
WPA2 wifi support
new BT stacks

and a few more things. Comparing the jump from AKU2.3 to AKU3.5 from the Mio, applications and the PDA itself where MUCH faster. it was easily visable.

Theres other things too, but the speed, stability and also bug fixing makes it worthwile. for me though, WPA2 is a MASSIVE thing as every network i access now incorporates it, and i cant use wifi in these places now.

They are starting to rebrand today.

AT&T Begins Rebranding Cingular Wireless (http://www.teleclick.ca/2007/01/att-begins-rebranding-cingular-wireless/)

Saw some ATT/Cingular commercials yesterday.

Either way I don't care...just give me some new fw.

I just read on www.pocketinfo.nl (http://www.pocketinfo.nl/artikel/7226/htc-tytn-krijgt-aku3-update-en-crossbow-update-lekt-uit.html) an article in Dutch mentioning the outcoming of the new official rom with aku3 at the end of january.
The article:
De HTC TyTN, ook bekend als de HTC Hermes, krijgt een ROM-update naar AKU3. HTC Europe stelt de update vanaf eind januari beschikbaar via de supportsectie op de Europese website van HTC. Naast de extra mogelijkheden van AKU3 zou deze ook de bekende problemen met de HTC TyTN moeten oplossen. Goed nieuws dus, behalve voor de mensen die een TyTN-variant van hun operator hebben gekocht, zoals bij T-Mobile. Bij die modellen is het nog onzeker of AKU3 wel beschikbaar komt. Zij kunnen overigens wel de officiële ROM-update installeren, maar raken daarbij hun garantie kwijt.

Wonder what devices are preinstall with WM6

[5n0rk]

Here are all the spec of the AKU 3 see this http://msmobiles.com/news.php/5857.html and the thing most important of AKU 3 is the selection of the language OS... I will finally have my TYTN in Italian language!!!

The HTC TyTN, also known as the HTC Hermes, is getting a rom-update to AKU3. HTC Europe will provide the update on the support section of the european HTC website from the end of january. Besides the extra features of AKU3 it should also fix the known problems with the HTC TyTN. Good news, except for people who bought a TyTN-variant from their operator, like T-Mobile. It's still uncertain if the update will be available for these models. They can however install the official HTC ROM-update, but will lose their waranty in the process.

[Lucas0511]

Friends, don´t get too exited. One website quotes the other, and so on...there is no official news on the content of any future ROM update. And HTC is not interested in providing AKU updates unless serious problems can be solved. Learn from HTC experience... :-) Remember HTC has to pay license fees on a per-machine-basis...

just wait and see what comes out... ;) i will bet you $500USD that it will be an aku update of at least 3.x... more than likely will be an AKU3.3?!? anyone want to take me up on this bet? i could use the extra money

@Lucas0511: shogunmark is dead wrong (Sleuth crosses his fingers behind his back desperately hoping that Lucas0511 can't see this). I would immediately exchange paypal info and make that $500 bet with him to win some easy money if I were you. Then please donate $250 to the xda developers in return for this incredible tip. ;):)

Got reply from www.myqtek.fi and they said that AKU 3 upgrade is coming at late February, maybe that's only for scandinavian phones..

[Sleuth255]

My sources tell me that Cingular is planning AKU3.x as well for their PTT release sometime in 1Q07. Looks like the TyTN release will merely be the first of many. That's good news IMO :)

My guess is that the WWE version (generic US English version for use in "any" country) will come first, then the regional and language variants that likely have to be certified by the local carriers that sell and support the phone in each country will follow.

Friend of mine bought a cingular 8525 today, they sold him PTT addon service saying it was operational now...

Course he thought I had ptt (and I don't) so he knows no one to test it. so maybe it was just someone trying to get more of a sell in and they ripped him off.

[pof]

@Quilliam: Can you ask your friend to check the AKU version in his ROM, and if it has PTT button enabled or not?

Aw man! I sold my TyTN already well it's great that you guys will be getting ROM updates I hope the Treo 750v gets ROM updates as well...

Yep, I'll check tomrrow and post here.

[stpete111]

Vodafone has also confirmed that the ROM they are testing right now for their version of the Tytn (v1605) is AKU3.3 They said it will be released "within a month." Add one more carrier to the list!

Maybe I should let someone more experienced such as pof or sleuth255 answer, but this is my take on how HTC releases updates. HTC will create a downloadable file that has "WWE" in the name, such as "RUU_Hermes_1.35.255.2_1.35.255.102_1.08.00.10_HTC_ WWE_Ship.zip". "WWE" stands for "World Wide English". ("RUU" is "ROM Update Utility".) The "WWE" is a "generic" version of the firmware that does not contain any specific carrier customizations or languages other than US English (I believe) and in theory should work with any GSM carrier, but you will have to create your own GPRS connections, etc.

Then HTC will create regional and language variants for each of the carriers that purchase equipment from them. From what I can tell, these customizations are usually added as CABs in the Extended_ROM and these load after a hard reset. However, the version numbers for these variations rarely match the parent "WWE" version, so you never know if 1.35_WWE is older or newer than say, Cingular's 1.20 (I'm using hypothetical examples to prove my point).

Now comes the tricky part. These downloads are generally difficult to find. They are not posted "willy nilly" to web sites or if they are, they hidden deep in the support sections. The best place to find them is actually the xda-developers' FTP site.

John

[Quilliam]

Bad news. They ripped my friend off. Same exact AKU as mine.


Anyway salesman claims he swore it was allready updated but it should be PTT active by the end of 1st billing cycle.

who knows.

[darkjedi]

Word of advice, NEVER trust salesman...

[shogunmark]

Word of advice, NEVER trust salesman...

i 2nd that!

[jeRrRKKKK]

but i'm certain that once it's released for the hermes, it'll be BIG news here
and surely somebody will find it ;)

Thanks John, very informative and detailed reply, i have been keeping a close eye on the support section of the HTC Europe site for a week or so but i was not sure if this was a waste of time. Now i know!

Much appreciated,

Sherbet66

[V J]

For what it is worth, on the Belgian site (http://www.smart-phones.be , registration required to see the downloads), there currently is a file with the following information (to find it, I needed to enter my IMEI code):
* Device type: HTC TyTN
* Language: en
Download ROM software (HER_QTEK_1182553_106_10303_WWE_SHIP.exe)

It might help in determining the name of the updated file.

While this still is the old file (it is the version on my TyTN), I'm keeping an eye on this site as well. :)

Hi guyz,

i just gave HTC Europe a call today (Tel Support Line - Belgium) needed to ask another thing so i thought i might just ask about the rom update too, so they confirmed that there is an official rom update to be released in Q1 of 07 and that when its released it will be hosted on HTC website and in order to download the rom users will need to use IMEI number of there HTC TyTn phone...

I also asked about crossbow and they told me that they cant say much until its released...

Thanks for the info, but what's an IMEI number?

[dan1431]

I was recently in England and I called the UK number to get something repaired on my TyTN.

At the service center I spoke with a really helpful HTC employee who said that no decision had been made yet if HTC is going to release Crossbow for the TyTN or not. However, he did say that the last time he had contact with the people who make that kind of decision they were leaning to releasing Crossbow for the Hermes as it is a test platform for it.

Hope that helps,
Dan

Thanks for the info, but what's an IMEI number?

International Mobile Equipment Identity Number

a unique identifier for your phone

Go to Start --> Settings --> System --> Device Information and click the Identity tab to find your IMEI number

[j1c]

I wonder if Telstra in Australia are going to release it for the iMate JasJam, which is the same as the TyTN. I hope so

Latest Release details:

ROM version: 1.31.305.2
ROM date: 09/08/06
Radio version: 1.20.31.10
Protocol version: 32.52.7020.00H

Thought you guys might be interested in this, might not be end of Jan after all.

Dear Oliver, The ROM update for the Tytn is expected in the next 2-3 months, unfortunately we cannot be more accurate at this time. We do not have any information on WM6 at the moment as it has not yet been released. It is unlikely that WM6 will be available for the Tytn.

I gave HTC a call yesterday as well and they told me the same thing too.
They will be a ROM for the Tytn Q1 2007 but that's all they could tell me. Nothing on AKU or WM6. They were not able to say what the changes would be. But, hey, there are just helpdesk people, what do they know :-)

[gregnash]

Cool! Makes sense; Telstra are testing HSDPA upgrade to 14Mbps with simultaneous Voice + Data, which apparently will require new device firmware.

Windows CE 6 arrives with 100% kernel source

Check this out!!!
http://www.windowsfordevices.com/news/NS2632317407.html

Wonder what devices are preinstall with WM6

Do you think we could "" Upgrade "" the HTC TyTN device to WM-6 ?

[Sleuth255]

WM6 (crossbow) is based on WinCE 5.x as was WM5. The first iteration of Windows mobile based on WinCE 6 will be Photon, tentatively scheduled for 2008.

WinCE is the embedded OS kernel that forms the basis of a number of "smart" devices. Windows Mobile is a "shell" around this kernel that is used to power smartphones and PDAs

all very confusing IMO....

[abubasim]

Similar to how Nokia and Sony Ericsson both are running the Symbian OS on their smartphones, but each vendor have their own UI. Nokia have Series 60, 80 and 90, I think, while Sony Ericsson currently have UIQ 2.1 and 3. (There's one Nokia phone that also runs UIQ 2.1; the 6708. But that's just a Nokia-branded Benq P31.)

Thanx is there an english uk HTC original rom available

[Sleuth255]

@perlmane:

It's regionally dependent based on what operator you are using, whether you have direct push etc.... Plus there are personal preferences, the type of keyboard your device has, and whether you have UMTS in your area or not.

See now why I said what I did? There is no one good answer. Even making a matrix is impossible due to the myriads of changing info.

Also, this question has been asked about a million times. It's all over the forum. Everything about ROM versions can be found on the wiki. Also several links to the individual threads.
And the subject of this thread is AKU3 I think... When I read this new messages I expect to read about AKU3, not about other ROM subjects.
Sorry...

It's almost Februari... Where's the update HTC :)

[mrvanx]

I emailed HTC a few days ago asking whether there was a new ROM for the TyTN, since it only says
Updates are made available via your operator's web-site. You will need to visit their site to find the latest version
its not very helpfull if you own a HTC TyTN and not an O2/T-mobile/vodaphone (et all) branded Hermes device.

I got this reply:
Good Morning

Thank you for contacting HTC Europe support

In response to your query, The ROM update for the Tytn handset is not available. It will be released during the month of March

Please don't hesitate to contact us back if this doesn't solve your query

Kind regards

But it then got an email stating Q1 2007 about 2 minutes later?!?!

Hopefully we will get a new ROM soon. But im personally looking forward to some cooked ROM-age and maybe a possibility the geniuses here can crack open GPS on the Hermes too (fingers crossed!!!:))

[V J]

But it then got an email stating Q1 2007 about 2 minutes later?!?!

Q1 2007 = January, February, March

So it is not contradictory to their first response. Most sources talk of it coming out in the first quarter (Q1), which probabely will mean March. :D

Yer i realise that!! (rolls eyes!) But i figured it was a tad strange since the original email responce was from a named address (not the standard helpdesk@htc address)
So the guy whos sent saying March has probably been told otherwise and had to send another email?? In all i got three emails all changing what they said!

February... where is the upgrade with aku 3.x :(

[Rolex]

I hope you wil share your rom :) :D

Guys, please be patient...

If the persons who already have the new ROM for Hermes will put it here they will loose their jobs.

In our russian forum we have a person who have a new Russian localiazed ROM with ACU 3 on his device. But he can't give it to other guys because hi is working in HTC general distributor in Russia.
As he said localiazed version of ROM is on testing at distributor company.

[centvin]

You are so right!
Let's wait for a while then, a few seconds, or hours or even a day or two...:D

Ok NOW DUMP THE ROM!!! ;) hehehe.. (just kidding)

[sub69]

I'm one of those fools who flashes every new ROM that I can find, but I've come to the conclusion that it's better to wait for a 'proper' ROM.

Easier said than done though!

(dump, dump, dump!)

[nallyvaico]

I've come to the conclusion that it's better to wait for a 'proper' ROM.

what do you mean by that?

[the_passenger]

wait for the official update.

[Shamanix]

Hehe.. all current updates are official, I think by "proper" update he means an update that gives you more radical changes and fixes :)

[sub69]

Yeah I meant a proper, officially released, upgrade.

In my experience, dumped ROMs that appear before the official releases are never quite as stable as they should be. And as I'm using my Hermes as my main phone, I need the stability.

My poor Universal, however, is having to put up with all sorts of experiments at the moment...

[jsp_m]

Perhaps this is one

This is pre-prod ROM.
I remember that pof was looking for Pre-Prod ROM at some stage.

[ahlok_hk]

Perhaps this is one such ROM?:

RUU_Hermes_1.4.263.1_0.95.00.00_HTCEUR_Test.exe

- need to upload?
Yes, there is no such ROM in the wiki (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Upgrades ) yet. It would be great if you could upload to the ftp! :)

[jsp_m]

oops, guys, I c/p'd wrong

[Pyranwolf]

oops, guys, I c/p'd wrong filename, it's actually

RUU_Hermes_2.05.263.1_6275_1.34.00.10_108_HTCEUR.e xe
(I guess this one will be MUCH more interesting too:))


*retrieves jaw from desk*

Well, I guess we were going to all get 108'd sooner or later!

[ahlok_hk]

oops, guys, I c/p'd wrong filename, it's actually

RUU_Hermes_2.05.263.1_6275_1.34.00.10_108_HTCEUR.e xe
(I guess this one will be MUCH more interesting too:))

It will be on xda ftp within nxt 18hrs

Wow! I think many people will be excited about the filename! Please kindly upload both file to the ftp! Thanks in advance!

[SecureGSM]

@jsp_m

ok. that's more like it, Sir !;)

any chance that you can post change log for this file, please?

[jasjamming]

gee, us melbournians are up at 4am eagerly awaiting a ROM update.

is it sad? no...!!!!

ive got work in 4 hours, I see i might have to live up to my Aussie values and pull a sicky today. :)

[trion]

Why do I get the feeling he is joking?

Okay I hope he is right, but why doesn't he say where he got 2 roms that no one else has, and why wait so long before uploading them?

Just give us the link or upload them :)

[jasjamming]

now my eyes are staying open by placing tooth picks between my eyelids.
I cannot take any more of this suspense. Should I:

1) go to sleep and when I wake up there is a new ROM on the FTP
2) Make a latte and have a Marlboro and keep clicking refresh on my browser?

What should I do?

[scorpio16v]

Why do I get the feeling he is joking?

Okay I hope he is right, but why doesn't he say where he got 2 roms that no one else has, and why wait so long before uploading them?

Look to the Breeze section, he uploads the new Breeze AKU3 too.
I think it's no joke.
It's time for a new (hope AKU3) ROM :eek: !!

[Shamanix]

Oh well... jsp_m is not joking for sure because he is "insider" ;)

So guys.. go down on your knees, bow and obey our master jsp_m :D

Great :)

can't wait for it! Thanx already!

[abubasim]

pof! Once the files are up then please move them to the safe area before some little punk comes and cleans the upload area again!

[cyberdrakula]

HEY HEY HEY !

A New ROM for my 8525. Been getting my fix of Wizard ROMS fora while now like there has been 6 new Releases in JAN alone.

[sponges]

cant wait to see the new rom. :)

[trion]

.....AKU3.3
Hermes version 2.05.255.101 based on version 1.18.255.106 for HTC WWE
- All the upgraded items (CE, Radio and Applications),
-There is no change without listing between V 2.05.260.101 and V 1.18.260.105
-The mainly change of this version :CE, AP, Radio.

It's almost out.....be patient

It's the same version number, so it is AKU 3.3 :) can't wait for it :D

Just great, wish we already had it now, just can't wait.

[pietrucci]

So much excitement... 15 hours waiting...
On the other hand: there's always a computer around to perform an upload isn't it???

[trion]

So much excitement... 15 hours waiting...
On the onter hand: there's always a computer around to perform an upload isn't it???

Start the countdown ;)

And when it's finaly online I have to work and can't flash it till I get home :(

Well tomorrow this time we have AKU 3.3 :D

[piopawlu]

I really hope so.. cause I decided to take my laptop for the winter holidays just to upload the new rom :> And I was supposed not to touch my 'toys' but spend time snowboarding..

[trion]

Some advice for the people trying to flash it when it is in the upload!

Don't!! Because most probably the radiobootloader is 1.0108 which means you can't downgrade the radio anymore, or install the GPS enabled radio, who knows, it might just work with the AKU 3.3 rom.

Instead, extract the exe, you will then get the *.NBH file! ( I use Total commander for this )

Then use NBHExtract to extract all the rom parts (OS and external) *.NB files.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=289830&highlight=nbhextract

And use the 1.01 MFG bootloader and MTTY.exe to flash the OS and external rom. This way you can still flash any radiorom you want.

If someone then confirms it has the older radio bootloader you can allways flash the whole rom. But untill then I would do it this way!

[piopawlu]

Thanks for your advice, I would probably flash the whole rom if not you :-) Anyway, I hope there will actually be something to flash tomorrow, though I don't want to be the very first to upgrade as I already have some bad experience with recovering my old pda :/

[pof]

For the filename it seems that the 1.34 radio has HTC_BOOT 108, so follow trion's advice and don't flash the full rom, just the OS/ExtROM parts using 1.01 MFG.

[pello]

Thnx for the advice...i am sooooo courious :)

I agree!! Be careful.. better this way before anyone confirms that is not radio boot loader 1.0108!!

[rumy]

hopefully this rom does my hermes some good. I have soo many problems its not funny, just been waiting to upgrade rather than wiping out and installing the same rom.

I think the AKU3.x have some major changes which need the radio rom to go with it. correct me if im wrong. Im not going to flash till we know it is downgradable.

Thanks

[pello]

But where can i find 1.01 MFG bootloader and MTTY.exe?

[Goatmaster]

pello:
in the wiki: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_BootloaderMFG
Download SPL-1.01MFG_Pack.zip

[JohanDC]

Plz upload ASAP! I am so fed up with my TyTN and his bugs that I was going to get me a new phone tomorrow.

Reading that a new ROM might be released soon gives me some hope not to get another phone!

I really love WM phones as long as they run stable, with my Wizard I never had any issues because there where some great ROMs available, which clearly is a real let down if you get a TyTN, which so supposed should be the greatest smart phone out there....

[madjokeer]

i went into the upgrading section for hermes under original roms section and it stated that there is an latest aku 3.3 and etc but i dont see any download section..

[pof]

Fixed, thanks for pointing it out.

[seth2006]

Still cant find the download.

[abubasim]

If he keeps his timing then it's still about seven hours left before he would start uploaded.

[seth2006]

Sorry about that, im in a diferent time frame.

[sugardad]

Gosh!
I'm shaking, I'm waiting like a child for his candy... :drool:
Hurry up m8!!
I will flash ASAP my device is SPL 1.09 SuperCID

So, do we

1. Know this works? and isnt fake/false/bad and will brick our Hermes? (Nothing against you jsp_m, just you never know with newest releases)

2. Know what AKU it is?

3. Is it possible to flash without doing the radio as well?

[rumy]

oooohh im download it it now.... how is it guys... lets hear some feedback

[mxlaser]

[danielherrero]

Let me try only the OS ! (I'm saving my SuperCID Radio rom with GPS !)

Same question really .... As I was thinking of flash the full package then reflashing the Radio version 1.27.00.00 back on?

BTW Im super CID(ed)

[nallyvaico]

Now, your turn, gurus....
I'd rather we had an idea how we do what step-by-step

[JohanDC]

Thanks for the new rom, you made my day!

Downloading now @ work with my 3G connection.....

[JohanDC]

Now, your turn, gurus....
I'd rather we had an idea how we do what step-by-step

I second that! Please let us know how we have to flash it fast... Downloading now and will flash it as soon as it's downloaded, ETA 19 minutes and counting, will flash it the regular way if no better instructions are giving, I just can't wait any longer....

[sponges]

[rumy]

[gingercat]

You're a brave one Rumy! Boldly going where no Hermes has gone before :D

[mxlaser]

Downloaded, NBHextracted and now using mtty to flash the OS.nb only...

[nallyvaico]

Will wait - would hate to brick my toy

[mxlaser]

WOOHOO!!!!

BUGGER!!!!

[pof]

This ROM is in Swedish!!! :(

ROM version: 2.05.263.1
Language: SVE
CID: QTEK_G09
BootLoader: 1.09
ExtROM: 2.05.262.101
Radio version: 1.34.00.10
HTC_BOOT: 0108

[rumy]

20% done .... dont scare me.....

[mxlaser]

How do you change language in these?

[rumy]

ohhh man i had a feeling it was not english..... shit i hope i can downgrade..... i shd have waited... :(

guess im gonna have to learn sweedish :'(

[pello]

isnt aku3 multilanguage?

[raboliot]

Just a very stupid question, how to set the working directory of mtty ? I put it in th edirectory of OS.nb, and launched it via the console but lnb OS.nb sow me a "command error"

Thx.

[pof]

isnt aku3 multilanguage?

Yes, but this ROM doesn't include language packs.

[mxlaser]

Nope! :(

tried changing settings, still all swedish :(

Mind you, it is a 3.3AKU rom though

[pof]

lnb OS.nb sow me a "command error"

Device must be SuperCID, bootloader must be 1.01MFG and you have to issue command 'task 32' before using lnb. Read the wiki.

[nallyvaico]

I smelled that :-)))
Looks like some people are going to have their handy's bricked

[rumy]

http://forum.xda-developers.com/archive/index.php/t-287316.html


oh, and for those who want to change language to English:

Start->Einstellungen->7->5

hope this helps.... :s 27% done flashing

[raboliot]

I am SuperCID but I am not "1.01MFG".
I am stupid a I said ...

Sorry.

[mxlaser]

Mines not bricked, i only flashed the OS.nb

Everythings working on it, including GSM/3G still using the 1.27 RADIO.

Ahh well, back to crappy AKU2.3 for a while longer again!

[cybertron]

Hi!

I am swedish!
I would like to try it, would this mean that I can flash it as "usual" by doubleclicking the file?

I don't care about gps, or anything like that, but I would like to have the update, is it possible to just upgrade, or must I think of anything?

relates to a different ROM.

Theres no extra language packs in this ROM, so we are learning swedish, or flashing back to an english one! :(

[rumy]

shoot. ok im screwed i guess. I had super CID and I flashed the whole rom..... any suggestions. Im still on 75% once this is done and i realize i don't speak sweedish im gonna try and go back to aku 2.3 (fingures crossed)

[pello]

Hi!

I am swedish!



You're a damn lucky guy :cool:

[cybertron]

soo....i can just flash it right?

You may need to make your device SuperCID first to avoid an ID error. However, the worst that can happen is that the upgrade file refuses to install, so there's no danger in just trying. As you said, just double-click the executable file.

Cheers,

[scorpio16v]

Has anyone tried Asukals English or making German .cab ?

[suineg]

What about using Arukal's english pack?

[cybertron]

it upgrades.......

[danielherrero]

bufffff, I had extracted Os.nb, launched mtty and I was going to flash it.....:eek:

[JohanDC]

Swedish or not, I am going to install it, as long as it is AKU 3 I will be happy with it, and about the Swedish part, I guess it's time to learn some Swedish!

[raboliot]

bufffff, I had extracted Os.nb, launched mtty and I was going to flash it.....:eek:

Probably not that is more of a type something in and it will tell you what it is in the opposite language type thing..

[cybertron]

I can confirm that it is in swedish! and for all of us that are swedes, it works like a charm!

thanks!!

[naciniak]

So what are the first impressions? I know that it is in swedish, but i saw that we have some native speakers here..

Don't be shy :) Let world know the truth :-D

[cybertron]

i will give an status update as soon as my son sleepes so that I can test it (he is sick...so no work for me today :D ...this means more time to play)

[pello]

hihi...i am so sad. Perhaps, there is a way to extract (or whatever) the Trinitys language-pack? Is just an Idea...

[rumy]

OK I can downgrade from the new rom..... so that part is confirmed.

guess today was my lucky day.....

[piopawlu]

argh... as much as I like Sweden I really hoped this would be WWE :/

[jasjamming]

damn swedes, thy get everything, AKU updates, tall blonde hunnies.....

oh well, I guess its time for me to visit Lund again and touch up on my swedish.

All I learnt when I was there was "hejdo" and "skol"

I got by just fine... lol,,,,

[mxlaser]

Seems good. Has all the usual things that AKU3.3 brings, for me, WPA2 support is a good one.

Push email seems slightly faster to me, as does syncing in Vista as well.. not sure what that is.

Phone is stable, BT works fine, Wifi seems to pick up and connect quicker. The rom has an app that enables X in the OS to close so no need for apps like PocketPlus or tMan.

Anything else anyone wants to know?

Seems fast, responsive and stable from preliminary play with it.

Flashing OS back to 1.35 rom now though, as need english! :)

[cybertron]

ok, these are my first impressions:

faster, much faster!
the x button can be set to actually close
edge is working, and shows this with a litte E on the icon.
wpa2 for wlan
no bugs yet
media player is way faster and plays my movies better, still no equalizer?

Sucks... Enjoy it you swedish bugger!!! let the rest of us suffer for a while longer.. :D

[naciniak]

can you please try coreplayer, or TCPMP with set ati imageon? Whether there is still a problem with picture distortion..

[mxlaser]

jsp_m - Any chance your secret source would have an english version of this fine, great file you've provided us??? :D:D:D someone had to ask!

[cybertron]

yes i am installing it right now..

edit: seems that i can't change to use ati in coreplayer, however some great newqs is that coreplayer is now able to pause video and start it again without tearing, stuttering and so on with direct draw

[ahlok_hk]

@jsp_m : Thanks for the ROM! Could you also upload the RUU_Hermes_1.4.263.1_0.95.00.00_HTCEUR_Test.exe testing ROM? Thanks a million!!! :)

[abubasim]

Cool, lucky me that I'm Swedish. But I'd prefer English and I thought one of the big news with AKU3 was the support for multiple language packs and that the language could be selected upon installation. Maybe HTC just isn't planning to implement this feature...

Would like to know if it works with AKU 3.3.

[HerrVorragend]

[easycure1974]

I am Swedish but anyway did the hard way of upgrading using NBhextract and MTTY and have upgraded my OS and Ext tom. But how do I install the new radio. I have it extracted as gsm.nb

Ia looked in the Wiki and there are only instructions for OS and Ext rom and splash in the HERMES Bootloader 1.01 MFG part.

Can I just write

USB> task 32
USB> task 28
USB> lnb gsm.nb
USB> task 28
USB> task 8

or should I write something like this

USB> task 32
USB> lnb gsm.nb XXXXXXX adress ?
USB> task 8

I have SPL 1.04 installed now - should I go back 1.01 ?

[pof]

@easycure1974: The point of doing it this way is to not install the radio on this rom, as it contains HTC_BOOT 0108 which will prevent downgrading of itself, and will make impossible to flash extracted radios in NBF format. Also, you will not be able to use trinity GPS enabled radios if you flash this radio.

[mxlaser]

@easycure1974: You'll need to have 1.01MFG flashed to be able to flash the OS or other parts.

I wouldnt do the radio. The OS worked fine from intial testing with the 1.27GER radio flashed.

Hello,

does the new ROM contains the SAPSettings-Icon under Programs?

It would be greate when one of the guys who have flashed the new rom coult try the english languagepack.... perhaps the other could flash then too...

thanks

[jokinawa]

I got this installed on a Softbank X01HT under Vista x32 Ultimate and tried the English MUI CAbs from Asukal but it seems the SecurityOff.cab does not run so I cant install them. :(

Any ideas?

[mxlaser]

sorry guys for the swedish, there was no way I could have known

It seems I might have the same thing in russian also (and can upload in 24 hrs if wanted), and I promise to ask again for the Test ROM, but since I rejected it once I doubt I will get it again..

Hey

No probs mate, you did a great job getting us this anyway!!! and you kept a bunch of swedes happy too...

Does the russian one have the language packs, or russian only??

Thanks for all yoru efforts, the community secretly loves you for it! :)

Hi everybody,

I'm new to this forum as "member" although I'm following it since back in my XDA II times... It's always great to come here and see all the things one can do with those HTC devices :-) Keep up the good work!

The thing that made me register is that I'm waiting for my Hermes doing WPA-AES for a long time. My WLan-Router (Belkin Pre-N) always looses the connections with WPA-TKIP. Could anyone please test with this ROM if AES works?

In that case I would even learn some swedish - until a solution has been found to get it at least english...

Thanks so much,

Michael

It does but after the first run the language pack you selected is kept and the rest are permanently deleted, I suppose to save space. Don't know where this one came from, maybe it was extracted.

[JohanDC]

So far so good, and my Swedish is improving alot!

Some things I have noticed so far:
- Data Connection Icon: I have seen the 'E' icon, the 'U' icon, a new '3G' icon and a new 'H' icon depending on the mobile network.
- Bluetooth profiles have changed to: OBEX, Network Access Point, and Voice Gateway, things like DUN are no longer available. There is also a Internet Sharing app installed that you can use with the Network Access Point.

Ah and did I already mention that this ROM is fast!!!!!

[HerrVorragend]

Hello,

can anyone check if the new ROM includes the following features?

- SAPSettings
- USB-Host-Mode

Would be great to know...

Thanks

[daedalia]

I got this installed on a Softbank X01HT under Vista x32 Ultimate and tried the English MUI CAbs from Asukal but it seems the SecurityOff.cab does not run so I cant install them. :(

Any ideas?

I'll give them a go later, if I get no joy I'll try some CAB browsing software I have somewhere. Just to ask the obvious; you are running them from your device?

[naciniak]

It may be interesting to do some benchmarks with graphics. That high score from TCPMP indicates that they may have solved Tytn's poor graphic performance.

[cybertron]

Oh! That's really a pretty boost in performance.. Even in Direct draw! What resolution was that video?

it had 320x240 @ 25fps
Original Datarate: 500kbit/s
44100khz stereo sound.

and it is in the mp4-format (ipod style i believe)
so if coreplayer peoples get to work a little more with their ati implementation it will be perfect i assume.

[bobstarina]

sorry guys for the swedish, there was no way I could have known

It seems I might have the same thing in russian also (and can upload in 24 hrs if wanted), and I promise to ask again for the Test ROM, but since I rejected it once I doubt I will get it again..

All Russian users will be very much thankfull to you.
Please upload it.

Come on guys! Even as a "rookie", I know that HTC puts the langauge in the file name. What do you think "SVE" and "WWE" stand for? Since this is a pre-release "demo" version, it is likely stripped of full language support so that guys like jsp_m don't do what he (she?) did, that is, to give it to the world. You need to think like HTC, they don't want to support a whole world full of a pre-release. (I can't believe I just wrote that, they don't provide support, period. What would they care!)

OK, no flames please. I am just stating the obvious. I guess we'll all just have to be a little more patient and wait for the "official" release. I am guessing Feb 14 when M$ makes their "big" WM6 announcement at 3GSM.

I second that, and add: and Ukrainians too, since half Ukraine speaks Russian

[jasjamming]

i dont mind either, since macedonian and russian are nearly identical.

[HerrVorragend]

Hello,

at buzzdev.net there is a languagepack for changing WM5 to English... perhapse someone could try it?

thanks

[namiran]

First check if it is also CID unlocked and than you can upgrade...cause if it is not CID unlocked you may have some problems to make downgrades...

Not advisible to do full roms update at this moment. Try to do only OS & Entended Roms Update.

[pof]

@namiran: this is for HTC Hermes devices, M600 is HTC Prophet not Hermes.

[HerrVorragend]

Hello Guys,

I've taken a look at the Windows Mobile Developer Kit... it includes "localized" emulatorimages... perhaps we can extract the languagesupport out of these emulators... or perhaps M$ provides languagepacks for the OS in thos DRK's oder SDK's...

[perlmane]

HELP!!

Flashed to the 1.01 boot loader.

Did task 32, task 28 & lnb OS.nb and mtty has been at 'start NB image download' dialog for about 30 mins now.

Just realised that the file is actually called 06_OS.nb

Is it safe just to close down?

perlmane; there's another link to it a few posts down from the link you've mentioned.

There is Asukal's English language pack that changes japanese Hermes to english... It might work on 3.3 too, somebody should try...
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=1109289&postcount=204

I have tried this - and it actually works. Everything gets translated to english with a few issues:

- The messaging inbox can't be found. It's probably because of a name mismatch. Maybe installing an english extended roms solves this.

- Some today items got doubled (but can easily be deactivated). E.g Messaging (meddelandefunktion), Owner Info (Ägareinformation).

- In personal settings, the settings for Voice dialing is still named "Röstuppringing" and is still in swedish.

Other than that it works good. The popup-internal keyboard is now in English but the hardware keyboard is still in swedish. That could proably be fixed following the steps in the wiki.

I havn't looked at everyting, so there might be some swedish hidden elsewhere.... :)

But as I'm swedish I'm returning to my backup with a working inbox....

[juggero]

hi all,

This is the last reply by HTC suppor just received:
"
Thank you for your enquiry,

We expect to release the ROM update for the HTC TyTN in Quarter 1 2007. We have no set date for release as of yet.
"

:-(

[namiran]

@pc87: Hi! Is my phone not CID unlocked when unlocked via imei-check?

@ghz: hi! thanx, but why should i not make a complete update? is there anything wrong with this rom?

@pof: do you mean i cant make this update? cause i was under the impression that my m600 and htc tytn was the same phone, just different exterior.

[pello]

@fm01: that sounds nice...can I put the asukal files on the hermes without any troubles?

[pof]

@pof: do you mean i cant make this update? cause i was under the impression that my m600 and htc tytn was the same phone, just different exterior.

No, Orange M600 is HTC Prophet and Orange M3100 is HTC Hermes. This update is not for your phone.

[daedalia]

@pof; can you help at all with my previous post as you seem to know mtty well?

## Edit: Restarted mtty, engaged brain and tried again with the correct file name, looks like it's working now. ##

[neo_com_3]

i dont mind either, since macedonian and russian are nearly identical.

Hi m8...

Do not do this mistake...

MACEDONIA is a part of Greece where they speak Greek. Fyrom is a country that tries to use this name and nobody has any relation with Greece. That 's why they speek Russian!!!

Please... use the term Fyrom & do not violate history!

Regards...

Hi..

Has anyone managed to get unsigned software running?

//Nilly

[namiran]

@pof: sorry! ofcourse i mean i have the orange m3100! that was just my mine wandering of... do you have different answere for me then? =)

[ghz]

@ghz: hi! thanx, but why should i not make a complete update? is there anything wrong with this rom?



This roms have radio 0108 which you cannot downgrade it later. But nevermind you have different phone, don't use this roms.

[fm01]

@fm01: that sounds nice...can I put the asukal files on the hermes without any troubles?

Yes, at least I had no problem installing it. I have however found some other things:

- Some shortcuts have vanished from the program folder, "Internetdelning" (Internet sharing), Streaming Media etc. The programs should still be there though.

- In the program folder a shortcut was added to Wireless modem, but is not working because the program is not available after the upgrade. I guess it's the Internet Sharing program now.

As I wrote before - there could be other things in Swedish or things not working becuase of language differencies. The inbox was my biggest concern.

[namiran]

@ghz: sorry i dont have a different phone, i actually have the m3100, i dont know why i wrote m600!? =/
