Figured I would start the thread. I know that at this point everyone still has no idea but I figured I would start a thread where people can post links to rumors as to whether HTC will have a WM6 rom for our favorite PPC.
WM6? How about a WM5 bug fix release?
Much as we'd all like to have WM6 on our Hermes devices, we can't even get an official WM5 bug fix release out of HTC. The last rumour was that we'd see one that would fix "all known bugs" by the end of January, it is now almost March!
I don't know about anyone else, but my patience is wearing very thin. It would be nice if someone in HTC would just say a date and stick to it, rather than the pre-canned responses that some people get.

on10.net, WM6 on 8525
http://on10.net/Blogs/laura/windows-mobile-6-is-here/
this video post suggests that the 8525 will have WM6 running on it.
I actually saw it on an 8525 recently. at a microsoft event.
That's pretty exiting!!!
It seems pretty certain that Windows Mobile 6 will be available on the HTC Hermes/Tytan.
WM6 on Cingular 85225 - Help!
Doh!
I loaded WM6 on my Phone and now, I'm missing my keyboard settings (When I hit the _ key, I get a ?, so I guess I need HTC Hermes specific 'drivers'? Can anyone point me in the right direction on this?
I can't make a GPRS/EDGE connection, but I can make phone calls....no Wifi Drivers eitiher....
I found some cab files in the extended_rom, but still no GPRS....if someone knows the settings or a link to the settings, I would be ever so grateful.
Good news
On several forums there is the same question. When do we get an update.
I have a TyTN and live in Holland. I bought my TyTN straight out of the shop.
So I called the helpdesk and asked them when I could suspect an upgrade. The helpdesk told me that the tech-department in Taiwan was working on AKU3 and they would be finished at the end of March.
So... We have to wait a littlemore............. I hope in Taiwan a day is also 24h :-D

At least you got a response tembares, they totally ignored my questions! All I can say is, someone else posted here some time ago that they asked the same question, and the answer then was that AKU3 would be available at the end of January. And there were some test versions that came out at around that time, and they didn't fix all of the major issues that I have (in fact, very few). The new versions also created some new issues that I didn't have in the AKU2.3 version, one being a showstopper for me (cannot sync handheld with two computers). So I don't have very much faith or confidence in either the timeline or HTC's ability to fix the identified issues!
But all I can do is be patient, I don't have any other options I guess (except to start looking for another phone...)

There is a cab file in the Cingular extended ROM that you need to get. Copy it prior to loading up WM6, or I think there might be a link in the WM6 thread.
It would appear that the Cingular keyboard is layed out differently from the standart TYTN keyboard, and this cab file makes the necessary registry edits to make the keyboard behave like it's supposed to.

Hi all,
I just want share my problem with HTC 6800 Mogul (Sprint).
It uses WM6.1.
My problem is every single item SMS in thread system list, always for 2016 (year), as attached, "thread_list.jpg"
i was setting my regional setting and clock time, as attached, "clock_system.jpg"
If anybody have a suggestion for me to set system up, due to miss-date (year-->2016), please feel free to comment this thread.
Should need any further info, don't hesitate to contact me
Thanks a lot friend
strange, I just got this same date error. Yesterday was fine. Looks to me like a sprint SMS server problem.
yeaahh this case very strange to me.
This was happend in new year eve, from 12/31/09 become 1/1/16 (until now).
I think this is not SMS Server problem since another mogul, which is belong to my friend, there was no problem with this case
there is already a fix for this. A quick search on here or google will get you the cab fix
Brother, would you like give me clue a keyword for searching? since before i posted this thread, i already search but didn't found anything.
And also, if you don't mind, did you know what the root cause this problem? i just wanna know
anyway, thanks a lot for your helping brother.
Thanks my problem already solved
Please find out the attachment below (Ziggy2016Fix.cab)
or add new registry
[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\Software\OEM\SMS]
"RecvTimeStamp"=dword:00000001
Thanks
I have just patch with LEO08007 (HTC SMS update function) UK, HTC support site.
However, the most annoying thing is
-gsm (Random) and bunched up timestamp with long text message.
not only that the date is wrong for the UK. It now shows (month/day/year) instead of the uk (day/month/year) in htc message (all white background with black text)
in the HTC sense message (all black background with white text) - touch in bottom half then stroke up, you will see older message. Find one 2 days or older, it shows the correct date???
I cannot seem to resolve this but this is annoying me ;-p
All else, it is much quicker, loading, typing away, no noticable lag (not sure if this to with facebook linking)
I have been searching for hours using this but cannot find a direct discussion or fix on the points above Any helpers?
By the way i have checked the regions, the time, date etc. And they are correct.
It is only when I have applied the latest sms update function (14/01/2010). That all the date are in wrong order ie. (month/day/year) instead of previously (day/month/year).
Secondly it seem to apply the "-gsm" at the end message randomly!
Thirdly the date stamp and last sentence of long text message are ovelapping/bunched up.
Anyway, it be reassuring if some one can post to confirm whether they have the same problem.
Email fired off to HTC as i think this is potentially another bug.
yes, everybody has the same problem if u bother to read the heavily discussed topics.
u could try changing to a smaller font size for any 'bunching' problems. it did work for mine
Yes for your information I did research as much as i could, all i can see is sms not being sent/hanging about in the main inbox being the main cuplrit resulting from the new sms update.
So I do not appreciate your tone of language. I did bother to read thank you! This is a forum to seek advice from fellow colleagues about their experience and share any solutions not to slate someone for trying the best to find this information.
The bunching makes no different on the smallest text as it still bunched over.
I actually got a response from HTC who are looking into this given that i have sent the picture describing the problems I have encountered.

New Response From [ Steven (UK - Ireland Support (Tech)) ]
Hi
Thank you for your enquiry
It does seem that the HD2 may have experienced a technicality issue regarding SMS..This is being looked into..BUT with regards to network locked devices we cannot provide information regarding any updates regarding your network..You will have to contact O2 regarding this to see if indeed any updates will become available...OR visit our website to see if we have updates for O2 within the next couple of weeks.
Best regards
Steve
HTC
******************************************************************
Received a response and it looks like there will be something in the next 2 weeks.
I am happy to receive a response acknowledging this!
Coincidentally the UK SMS update function is no longer listed on their website or any HTC website!
So the previously released SMS update patch is definately pant!
I just hope there is solid fix on such an integral function of a mobile phone which need to be reliable, efficient and works.
<quote> OR visit our website to see if we have updates for O2 within the next couple of weeks. </quote>
Not wishing to sound too negative, but having worked in various support roles for various companies, large and small, the above statement certainly wouldnt lead me to believe there is something due that they are keeping quiet about, it is a 'bother us later' answer, meaning 'go away while we look into it, but we don't want to say yes or no, so here is a maybe to keep your hopes up'.
Still., it would be nice.
G'day all, I have developed a WeatherCities.xml file editor, I'm hoping perhaps will be found useful.
It is a Windows, PC based utility, which I developed for when modding my HTC Touch 3G.
In short, it extracts weather codes from AccuWeather's, netWeather scripts.
Please note that this application is FREE to use and you may pass it on to anyone you wish.
Cheers!

How to using?
No need to change the RM-820 to RM-821. There is very easy way to update the ROM. This is very simple with Nokia tool. Here is the tool name: Nokia Software Updater for Retail 3.0.8. Just make Google search and find it Maybe it is not the last version, so it will ask you to update if needed, do not worry. What you have to do ? Before you start doing anything you should know that this update will wipe up everything in your phone. So, think it over before you start doing update.
1. Make back up of your phone and data.
2. Connect cable to your phone Lumia 920 and computer.
3. Start update.
4. All will go automatically.
5 Finally enjoy.
Take into consideration that after install you have 2G, 3G and 4G connection. But the phone will be connected to 4G. So if you do want to change it just go to Settings-Cellular-Highest Connection Speed and change it to 3G or 2G or leave it 4G if you want to.
Please, take into consideration that I am not the person who made this. All credits go to this person where you can find instruction what and how.
See the web site: http://www.wolfgang-ziegler.com/blog/manual-amber-gdr2-update-on-my-lumia-920#.UiDNPdIwfxe
p.s. I am not responsible for your device at all if you brick or something happens to your device. Please read carefully everything before you flash. But in picture you can see my device that is developer device from Canada but I live in Israel. Do not forget to thank me too
I've seen the Nokia Updater Software app. I forgot all about that since Rogers finally came out with their Amber ROM for the RM-820 devices. One thing though, is this putting the same AT&T Developer ROM that I have listed in my thread on the phone? I've seen that the Rogers Amber ROM is much more stable than that one. Can you post screenshots of your extras+info with the more info button clicked? I want to see what it's branded as.
ALSO, Reupload the photos you have on here but REMOVE your IMEI from it.
Thanks you about IMEI. I did not even think about it. I do not think that it is the same Rogers Amber developer ROM. Take a look in the pictures of Extra info. This ROM is stable and for me really I had no problems at all. I have checked every little thing in the ROM. I like it a lot.
It's the same as the AT&T Dev ROM. It's also branded for Canada with 000-CA as the branding code. IF you start to run into issues with data and wifi acting crazy, I'd switch to the Rogers equivalent as it has been very stable for me.
Nokia retailer tool found and updated it. So I guess it will not update again. And for now I do not have problems at all. WiFi and data is OK for me even better than before and more sensitive. I do not see any problems. But I live in Israel and updated in such an easy way that I am very surprised how I succeeded to make it. I just plugged the phone and that's all generally saying. But I looked in your thread it was unclear for me. So I found this and made it. Now I am more than happy and make better pictures quality with more zooming. Now I can tell that My Nokia Lumia 920 developer device takes better pictures than my former HTC Sensation XL phone.
Yeah. I'm glad you made this thread. When I released mine, the Amber Rom for the at&T dev rom wasn't up on NCS yet so the only way to get it was to get it from that wperhelper app.
You are right now people can flash the ROM but I am not sure if this is only for developer devices or this tool can find also all updates ? No matter where you live. I am sure lots of people wait for updates and lots of developer devices did not get yet and lots of other devices owners do not know how easy is to update the ROM in Nokia Lumia. It is easier than Android for me. By the way. i am future developer, I am studying Java on my own from youtube.
Have a question. How come Nokia officially does not support this tool that I found in internet ? I mean openly. And why ? If it flashes and I did it well. For me it is very strange to get negative answers from Nokia representatives of Canada that there is no update for my developer device and in Israel where I live Nokia told me that they cannot help me and i should contact the other representative in other countries.

Do you have more than 10 GB videos/pics/songs on your handset? Do you have offline GPS apps (such as Navigon, Here Drive, CoPilot) with maps? Do you play games (and wanna save your results/progress)?
I don't understand why people calling update with full wipe "easy update"? Or you have a lot of free time?

What is difficult with update with full wipe ? Tell me please. Yes, it is easier than Android and I will tell again and again. It seems to me that you are not satisfied with something and try to blow up your non satisfaction in here. No need to tell about having a lot of free time at all. You lose your point here. Please try to be to the point. I did this in order to make easier to flash the new ROM, not to discuss about having a lot of time or less time. thank you for your understanding sensboston.
I already quoted words with which I don't agree. WP updates with full wipe is much more complicated comparing with Android. Nobody (including you) in WP ROM update topics never mention about full user data wipe in the opening posts. This may confuse some people and make this procedure dangerous and not suitable.

In the case of the full wipe/reset I should:
- re-upload 16 GB of pics/videos/music to my handset;
- re-download maps for Navigon, Here Drive, CoPilot;
- re-synchronize my corporate email (yes, I should keep all my emails to be able to search some important info);
I'll lose all my:
- alarms/contacts ringtones;
- game progresses;
- user groups and linked accounts assignment;
Is it not enough for you? For me - it is!
And - again! - WP updates are not an "easy"! It's my point.
Thank you for info, I have added up a sentence about full wipe, even though it is written in the url that I suggested to go to for more details. Additionally, I personally do not have so much stuff in phone as you do that's why for me it is easier to make full wipe. I have back up of my all pics and videos and SMS. So, make your update via regular one over the air if you have so much stuff to do, nobody forces you to update this way. Or if you think that you lose a lot, maybe do not update at all. Still, for me it is easier update comparing to Android because saying the update I mean the process of updating not whatever you should do afterwards. In Android you have to unlock boot loader, root, and so on. Here I did not see the problem with my updating process. Whatever after the update is more individual related issues.
Hi i have now a lumia 925 with the same info like your snapshots only the Configuration ID is different i have ID nr 238516 , but i can,t instal thirtparty apps now, wen i flash with this tool is my phone than lock free or not, so is it then possible to instal app,s from sideload like clockapp timeme ?

are you sure that program gives you update of the same rom ? i have tried this second time (did not update but searched for it) and it gives me the other amber rom update with different label id. most likely would be the same in your case. additionally, in my case i have developer device that's why i cannot answer your question unfortunately.
thanks for replay, yes it,s the same only manufaturer name= RM_892_eu_sweden_243 and mobile operator =000-DK
Configuratie ID = 238516 Label ID 3047.0000.1326.10144.
I have not puss the butten next but it is the same rom perhaps the unlockt version?

Sorry, I cannot answer your question at all since mine is completely different rom and my device is different as well. Yours is lumia 925 and mine lumia 920 developer device. But I can tell about my device that I got at & t rom and now when I plug into computer and start this tool it gives me update but the other one - canadian update of rogers which would be exact for my device.
By the way this at & t rom is not stable. I will go now for Rogers, Canadian variant as my phone is developer Canadian one

RM-820 = North American Lumia 920
RM-821 = Asia Pacific/South American/European Lumia 920
821 ROMS will have different wireless band information from 820 ROMS (especially if you're on CDMA) since the bands are different between North America and other continents.
