HTC & WM6

HTC will release free upgrade to WM6 for many devices (Advantage, TyTN, S620, P4350, P3300), bun not for Universal:
http://www.europe.htc.com/z/pdf/press/WM6_statement_v6.pdf
However there is the possibility for others devices, so... let's write to HTC for that!
Bye bye

I have spoken to someone who is in close contact with HTC Europe. This document was not supposed to be released yet! It is not official yet and can be changed in the meantime.
Besides that, he told me that e-mailing HTC for an update of the Universal has no use. The only way that might work is e-mailing T-Mobile for a WM6 upgrade of the MDA Pro. If T-Mobile asks HTC, they will do it for sure. And with the resources in the ROM, the cooks can do their work.
So, let's start e-mailing T-Mobile.

Thats a very cool idea.

I wrote to HTC 'cos i have a Qtek...

Well, I have written to T-Mobile....

I wrote to HTC in mid-March and they told me that "There is no official decision yet..." and sugested me to "... check back in a few weeks."
After seeing the draft link posted above, I wrote to them again but have not yet received any acknowledgement from them.

If HTC didnt put the devices in that PDF, than there will be no upgrade (most likely)
I just got the official statement on msmobiles. (lost the URL, so no link)
Edit: Found it http://msmobiles.com/news.php/6269.html

So what was the point of that post? Its the same info (exactly!) as in the first one, so thanks for clearing up nothing!

There are only HTC-branded devices in PDF. No operator-branded ones.

Well what you added to the thead is ofcourse of great importance.
The only thing HTC leaves open is that it will talk to mobile operators to see if there is a great demand for an upgrade for a certain device. If so... there is a chance that an actual upgrade may appear.
Edit: the link to the PDF is dead.

This link is OK:

It's a copy of the original document.
Bye

che minchioni (qui posso dire le parolacce tanto siamo pochi a capirci)
bye

Any news? HTC did not answer me.. Maybe because I have a Qtek 9000..
But I don't know who i have to write to!

I wrote to T-Mobile and HTC. T-Mobile responded quite fast with the answer that there will be no upgrade, and if i have an MDA Pro and I flash a non T-Mobile rom I will get disconnected... Tough talk from them. Thank goodness I have an unbranded Qtek 9000
HTC hasnt answered

unlock code/wm6 for 8125

i am getting an 8125 next week from somebody who was a cingular customer. he got the factory unlock code from a cingular rep (but he cant unlock it cuz he doesnt have a different carriers sim card). is there any difference if i use that to unlock it or if i use the lokiwiz program i keep reading about??
also, as you can probly tell im new to pda's. to load the window mobile 6 would i have to unlock the CID (which im not even sure what it is)? what are the benefits for using wm6 and is it fully functional on the 8125 (ive read a few posts from ppl that say they have problems). i also saw a thread for making an i-phone skin...is it possible to have both wm6 and this iphone skin? also, can anyone explian what this aku2 rom is?
sorry to make this post, but there are so many threads about the stuff i am inquiring about and hundreds of pages and its just too long to go thru. if anybody can help me out that would be appreciated...thanks a bunch!!!

Other than to say you need to read some of the sticky's in the WM6 forum, as well as the Wiki's - here's a few hints:
If you have a G3 - get it CID unlocked. If it's a G4, you can leave it locked and still flash WM6 just fine - if you use shelltool.
WM6 is mostly cool factor, with a few new features. How many people can say they're running WM6? Bleeding edge, baby, but it ain't without some pain.
iPhone skin - yes, and good luck. I tried it, and it was a slow pig - it looked alot like the iPhone, but not worth the bling. Try driving your car with a painted tarp on it. yeah, right. Can barely open the doors.
As for aku2, no idea. Hit search and check it out.
You got lots of reading ahead of you. I spent 10 hours reading before my first attempt at flashing - and I'm a fast reader.

yea im doing a lotta reading....where is the link to the wm6? i cant seem to find it!

check my sig for all unlocking problems...once you do that worry about WM6..Just check out a section and read up on the roms

Don't learn by flashing. Learn by reading. $400 is a lot of jack to waste trying to learn by experience.

You can't use it with the cingular sim card beause you don't need it!
You have to borrow a sim card other than your carrier's sim card to apply the code. Once applied, the sim portion of your cell is unlocked for life if you have the right code.
Lockwiz will CID unlock your phone as well. Once successfull with this portion, you can install any ROM or Custom ROM....designed for your TYPE of device.
You are currently running an AKU2 ROM.
Based on your line of questioning, you have a WHOLE lot of reading to do. You sound like you're on your way to be stuck in bootloader mode.
Do your reading 1st, collect all your tools and all you need can be found by you doing the research in the threads. All the answers to your questions are in the WIKI....it's your friend.
This was a freebee....if you're not willing to go thru the hundreds of threads, as you stated to get the answer....use the search tool or stay with your factory ROM.
Remember: This is a Developer's Forum, not a USER's Forum
This thread you created was a waste!

no pain ... no gain....
imho it starts to look like a 3th rang helpdesk here

I have a brilliant idea... ok dont laugh please

alright guys, for those of u that have generic stock HTC? can like one or two of you pm me ur tytn s/n cuz HTC.com wont accept my AT&T 8925 one, im happy to post my stuff here too, but i got a feelin that if either me using one of ur s/n's or like one of u actually login to HTC.com can get the latest shipped roms no problem

HTC eClub doesn't list any downloads for the TyTN II on the page I get currently.

HTC eClub is only for non-branded devices and I am not sure, if someone will share SN for you...

thats coo thats coo if any of you have access to eclub cuz i have it for my artemis, and its a really nice windows mobile 6 image for it so i was hoping if it posts someone will post it for us... ill actually provide server space for it on my server i have unlimited bandwidth

eClub only allows one person to register with a particular SN so no one is likely to give you yours - it would mean they couldn't register themselves.
Most ROMs get reposted here anyway. For example the latest (actually at the moment only) TyTn II ROM is available already.

funny question lol... No AT-T branded device can register with HTC.com its that simple. You would have to go to AT-T for support. Don't worry about ROM upgrades you will find them here months before you see them any place else

Been visiting the htc.com eClub, there is nothing about Kaiser/TyTN II so far. Quite disappointed. Everytime I tried to click "Phone Software Update", I got "Select your PDA phone or smartphone model from the list. If your registered product is not listed, please check back next time as new patches are added regularly." But, there is no way I can select my PDA phone. HTC eClub is useless!!!! (of course, correct me if I am wrong)

Pretty simple answer - No official updates for the TyTn II have been released yet. There's only one ROM available, and it ships on the device. The only people who have a use for that particular ROM can't register on eClub anyway because they have Tilts or Vario IIIs and not TyTn IIs.

Where is the brilliant idea ?

Mobitv Problem

I have a Att Tilt Unlocked with [Apr 29]Dutty's WM6.1 Hybrid v2 5.2.19716/5.2.19700 and MobiTv says Expired i push the buy tab and it takes me to mobitv website i clik on free trial and it says phone not supported i have mobitv reseter also not working installed is there a registry mod i have to make for mobitv to know i have a tilt on the att network.

The MobiTV resetter doesn't work anymore. They caught onto it.
That's all I'm going to say as this skims across the line of what is and isn't allowed at this site.

Damnnn noooooooooooooooooooo. I loved watching it!

Same problem here. Why does ATT offer MobiTV in the menu after you buy the Tilt and then informs you after the free trial that the phone is incompatible? Figures.

Did you try going into kaisertweaks and changing the IE phone identification from tytn II to at&t tilt? i mean i don't use mobiTv, but that is how to fix that issue sometimes.

gonna try this soon!

BET!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Attached are two of the latest versions of the software you are looking for. they both have been tried and work just fine on the 8525 and 8925 - But they are the "3-Day Trial" editions.

I don't understand why it is a "bad idea" to post CABs of the **TRIAL** software that comes freely with your new ATT PPC-Phone?

well the whole "3-day trial" thing confused me because i once posted the endles "3-day trial"cab and got banned for a day

Ahhh! thanks for clearing that up kidnamedAlbert. I understand what you mean now.
Nope, these are the genuine, 3-day **TRIAL** versions of the Mobi apps. No trickery here.
I thought that since the OP was having problems with his apps, that his apps may have been the "v1" versions. The "v2" versions that I posted, should not give him problems, should he choose to extend his trial or purchase the software on his 8925.

Welcome to the forum!
A good start is to read here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser
Also read about the different ROM´s you are interested in, and then flash and enjoy!
Good luck,

well thank you
Im not sure but, do I have to unlock my Tilt (8925) to use all the programs?
If so, how do I unlock it? Whats the easiest way? (I bought it off ebay)
also are the programs free?

unlock is generaly a thing one does if the phone was bouth with a suscrition and as such tied to the sim card of the operator
some programs are free some cost money
