Hello,

where can I get the WinMob6 ROM Udate for the HTC TyTN? The HTC Support told me that there is no update available...but there was an V6 Update...

German version (if there are differences) would be great!

Greetings

All the official WM6 builds are here (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Available%20Original%20Shipped% 20WM6%20ROM%20Versions)

Edit: if you want a unofficial 6.1 cooked build, HardSPL your phone then chose a rom to flash from the many that are here, they are far better than the old WM6 buils.

Thanks.

But could yu please help me:

Please give me one good working ROM with 6.1....link and filename! There are so many files mentiones verywhere that a beginne rlike me has got some problems recognizing the rigth files;-) I don't want to loose my working HTC:p

Are those ROMs also german versions?????

1) download hardspl from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722) and flash it

2) reflash the radio of your choice

3) flash a rom

About the roms, if you want english, and want Manilla 2d, I would flash one of Joshes roms from here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=461490)

There isnt many german roms.

Starbase's german M2D here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=428597)

If you want an english plain rom, I would suggest CRCs here (http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=387990)

But there are many others I haven't trired, so the best is to look around and flash.

IF YOU WANT TO KEEP A ROM FOR A LONG TIME AND AVOID STABILITY ISSUES, PLEASES FLASH A OEM ROM BETWEEN COOKED ROMS
Usethis or any oem rom (http://www.4shared.com/file/61372397/e2bf76c0/official_ATT_WM6_striped.html)

If you HardSPL it overwites your radio rom, in order to unlock it ect.

A radio rom, is the bit that controlls all the phone functions, the signal you get, and the type of connection you get (gprs/3dge/3g/H) newer isn't always better but you will want a 1.4+ radio in order to get 3G reception.

List of Radio roms (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_ExtractedRadioRoms).

Beware, flashing your radio can be fatal, so make sure you have enough battery, and dont disconnect your phone while your doing it.

To be safe I would recomend you do it this way (http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_SDCardFlashing)

@erdenkind:
Hallo erdenkind und willkommen beim Flashen. Sei gewarnt, dass Du das ganze auf eigene Gefahr machst. Du kannst den Hermes durchaus "zerschiessen"!

Nun zu Deinen Fragen:
Ein Gerät hat immer ein Firmware und ein Radio Rom. Du kannst i.d.R. beide unabhängig voneinander flashen.

Bevor Du ein "gekochtes" Rom flashst, musst Du ein HARD-SPL durchführen. Ich würde Dir dies hier empfehlen - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=340468

Mit der 2.60 hat bei mir alles funktioniert, bei der 2.10er hat's geklemmt.

Als Rom benutze ich zur Zeit dies - http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=458456 und zwar die "All Back". Laeuft sehr zuverlaessig, ist aber englisch.

Beim flshen laeuft er bei mir immer bei 100% gegen den Poller. Das Utility meldet einen Kommunikationsfehler und auf dem Hermes bleibt alles bei 100% stehen. Keine Angst, Batterie raus, wieder rein, starten und los geht es (der erste Start dauert etwas, nicht nochmal neu flashen) mit dem Kalibrieren. Sollte mal was schiefgehen, findest Du hier immer Hilfe, meistens jedoch auf englisch. Deutsche Roms für den Hermes kann man uebrigens an einer Hand abzaehlen...

Ich hoffe, dass ich Dir ein wenig weiterhelfen konnte. Viel Spass beim Ausprobieren...

...Eins habe ich noch vergessen. Zum Flashen solltest Du den Hermes auf mindestens 50% Batterieladung haben, 90% ist besser. flashen ist uebrigens auch ueber eine Sd-Karte moeglich. Eine Anleitung dazu gibt es im WIKI

...I know about this. It's always a lot to laugh when we get "automatic" transtations. But german is an awful language (for germans too ;oD). By the way, I haven't done a translation of your hints. I tried to describe it in my own words and out of my experiance.

By this way I'd like to thank again all user of this forum for their patience with us, beeing newbies...

If you have the time, it might be useful if you wrote a formal howto flash your phone guide, in German, which I can tag onto the end of the FAQ, it might help some people.

Just drop me a PM if you are interested:)

As for the patience, you caught me on a good day ;)

Hallo goy2k,

danke für die schnelle Hilfe:-)

Nun hab ich noch ein ActiveSync Thema: HTC meldet version 4.5 oder neuer benutzen...pc meldet "allgemeiner fehler"....MIST! Hab schon Dei-Neuinstalliert, Gebootet, HTC zurück gesetzt...keine Chance:-( ActiveSync Ordner auch schon gelöscht usw...

graz

@veyka:
I'll try to do it. Will give a feedback after weekend, because my wife and me are out of town...

@erdenkind:
Probleme mit activesync gibt es manchmal. Schuld daran ist zuweilen die Einstellung unter Start - Einstellungen - Verbindungen - USB to PC. Dort den Haken bei "Erweiterte Netzwerkfunktionen" entfernen. Falls das nicht hilft, melde Dich nochmal. Über das Wochenende bin ich nicht zu hause, eine Antwort kann dann etwas dauern...

Make sure you have your operators OEM rom downloaded and saved. There isn't a good noob way to just save your rom from your phone (that I know of), so reflashing is the way to go.

You can use something like pim backup to save your contacts and such.

You can dump the rom but as far as I know it doesn't produce a flashable file off the bat, but all the OEM roms are on the wiki

yea if you were to dump the rom using a tool called "grab it" you would then need to spend time decrypting the dump and then have knowlege of how to use a rom kitchen into rebuilding it back into a somewhat usable rom image.

That was pretty much what I was thinkin, shame there isnt a easier way.
