Well lets just say I loved my SX56 when I first saw it, bought it, worked great upgraded it with the AT&T WM2003 ROM, now it is just a pretty PDA that can some times do phone.
The radio stack upgrade just destroyed what little signal I was alredy getting on my SX56. Now I GET NOTHING. IT IS DISCUSSTING.
If any one knows how I can get back a original 2002 ROM and radio stack??????
Anyone knows please email me at [email protected]
Hi I'm new in this field so sorry if I will ask stupid questions
I want to bay Cingular 8525 and use it in Orange (Israel). I want to Know what I have to do to make it happened????
Also what is different between TyTN and 8525? (hardware, software...)
What is better?
I saw in ebay sellers write about 8525 that it has GPS is that right?
A quote from: http://www.mobiletechreview.com/phones/Cingular-8525.htm
"What's different between the Cingular 8525 and the HTC TyTN? The Cingular 8525 is a HERM100 and the TyTN is a HERM200 (there is also a HERM300 variant). The 8525 has a darker finish, slightly different button arrangement around the d-pad and lacks the TyTN's front-facing VGA camera for video calls since Cingular doesn't currently promote that feature. The excellent keyboards on each are identical. Of course, the TyTN lacks any carrier customizations and is unlocked. Cingular hasn't gone overboard customizing the phone's software however, and you'll note their splash screen on boot, the usual bright blue Cingular Today Screen theme, XPress Mail software, MobiTV (added since the 8525 doesn't support Cingular Video) and a shortcut to get TeleNav (a subscription mapping service that requires a separately purchased GPS)."

You should read the whole article.
Also 8525 has one of the buttons reserved for PTT and is not available for remapping .. you need to get Sleuth255's hack for unlocking that ..
Also, whatever Cingular puts in can probably be installed from the 1.35 ExtROM ..
The key differences I wud say are listed well above .. and then how much would it cost .. locked 8525 is around 400$ with 2 yr contract, unlocked TyTN would come around 700$ ..
Glad I found this post!
So, the 8525 is 549.99 [without contract] and the TyTN is ~ 700.00 [unlocked]. I see that the TyTN has a Web camera and the 8525 does not [I also think the TyTN looks nicer]. I have also seen posts about Cingular Video not working [not sure what that is about].
Some questions:
Is it better to play the extra $150.00 for the TyTN? Since the TyTN is unlocked - is it also SuperCID too? While with a little work I believe the 8525 can be unlocked/SuperCID but there also may be issues [I guess pending on the ROM/Radio installed]. I guess also working for buying a TyTN is I rather not give Cingular any $$$, since they never been helpful with my Siemens SX 56/66.
I am guessing this will be a hard question to answer, unless someone has had both.
TyTN is not SuperCID, but it is unlocked allright..
So, last week I dropped my SX66 and broke the screen [damn it to hell] so this week I'll need to buy the Hermes.
Any additional input on why I should get the Cingular [~648 with tax] instead of a HTC TyTN[FONT=Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif][/FONT] [~694 with shipping]?
I'll end of flashing either one once I get the unit....
Why wouldn't you just get one off ebay for 350-400? (for the 8525)
I mean, just asking... I knew in my case that I was going to mod the heck out of it and likely void the warranty... besides I've dealt with Cingular in the past on warranty issues, and the service is slow if they fix the phone at all. Next day there and next day back (on my dime of course) and I never got a phone back in under 2 weeks.
Heh, i got the 8525 off ebay for $350 US (shipping included), arriving tomorrow.
Also, you can do all the unlocking and SuperCID work using free software available in these forums. I would not pay extra for unlock/SuperCID. Check out the Hermes Upgrading forum, the Hermes WM6 Forum and the Hermes Wiki and you will get everything you need to do this all yourself.
Ya, I know all about MOD'ing your phone, it just you are never to sure what you may get on Ebay.
But I'll take a look to see whats currently on the site. Thank you guys for your replies.

Hi Folks, After trawling the wizard forums Im hitting a brick wall (GEDDIT??)
Story begins when we bought in 5 new Tytn's and recycling 2 existing wizard's (spl 2.xx rather than 2.xx.xxx from what I understand would have meant G4)
Our company decided to move from Vodafone to Orange (better deal yadda yadda). I have used Schaps wm6/Touch I for the 32bit Tytns and all is well. However, the g3 wizards refuse to show network settings so gprs and mail cannot be setup. I tried flashing to the wizard love rom which initially worked as a phone ok but this rom didnt utilize the direct push which is important to us. After trying another rom from here it froze at 99% and the update program said to reboot it and try again but it kept failing. When I arrived in work this morning its still sat here with the tricolour screen and the usb indication does work.
Is the phone fcuko'd or is there some sort of bootloader available that just writes rather than interrogates what is already installed? I have since tried reflashing it with the paradox and wizard love roms but its bailing out on me with the error 264. Apologies if im missing womething from the wiki but ive read and taken in so much yesterday and today I now feel like im reading german.

If you need more info please just shout.
anyone else had this problem?
Ok ive had the P3050 Vogue 100 touch for a while now.
I bought a used Sprint MP6900SP Vogu100 and kinda working - broken touch screen - everything else seems to work.
But my question is can i flash it with a telus rom?
I bought it so i can mess with the windows without wrecking mine.
Or is there a generic rom?
And another question is that it doesnt seem to be able to have a sim card put in, does this mean its locked to Sprint?
CDMA phones are locked to the provider, there is no way around it as the carriers register the Serial numbers and if it isn't in their system they won't add it for you.
As for roms, just grab the telus rom from the htc website, otherwise check the upgrades forum.
Should have done your homework re: switching it onto Telus.
Thanx for the info, tried searching "switching it onto Telus" but could not find anything.
I also bought a new touch screen and its not as clear as the original, do you know if it will clear up or will it stay that way?
And I put my touch screen on the Sprint and everything works on it but the Sprint will not accept anything bigger that a 512 mb microsd card the 1 gb card from my telus doesnt work in the Sprint either but worked in the Telus, is there a problem with the Sprint phones (and i flashed the latest Sprint rom on it)?
I bought a 8 gb microsd for my Telus and works fine.
Thanx D
Ok i think I fixed the microsd problem. - posted a new thread for that.
And i tried searching for fuzzy touch screen and cloudy digitizer and no luck.
