WM6 8525 AT&T Release

Has anyone seen the official AT&T WM6 release for the 8525 that was made available this morning? I can't help but wonder if this release could be ported over to the 8125..... Any Ideas?

I haven't seen the release numbers for it, but some of the roms we have now are ports of the leaks of this rom (as I understand it).

Here is the page link:
http://www.america.htc.com/support/8525/software-downloads.html
I guess what I'm looking for is a ROM based on the official ROM, Then I can decide what to keep and add. I've tried a couple of ROM's (TNT 5.0, XDA6) and even the light versions seem to much and seem to slow down my 8125.. Any suggestions?

Can this "os.nb" extracted from the ROM, be used with the Wizard? It doesn't seem like it because it's huge! 72MB. Either there's a whole lot more to it than the Wizard ROMs that I'm used to or it's filled with an incredible amount of bloat? Is the 8525 that much different?

How do you get the .nbf out of the .exe??

well you won't get a .nbf file out of this exe, but a .nbh file as it's a FW for the 8525 ...
you can use WinZIP for example (2 times ).

I ported this rom this morning. Its an older build but I'm impressed with the speed. After soft reset it has approximately 30~31 mb free with a 6mb page pool. There's no windows live and no onenote mobile but this doesnt bother me in the slightest. I'm keeping this rom for a while.

There's an extended rom and a radio. These two increase the size of the rom.

No I dont see the point in releasing a rom based on an older rom build.

How about maybe the Radio/GSM will actually work on AT&T unlike any other build other than the loon's 318 which does work.

I would like to see an official build as well. Much more stable in general.

Thanks all! I for one would love to see this rom, This may be the exact rom I've been looking for. Again thanks to all who have responded!

if im not wrong this rom ver is old

This is the link to the HTC website for the 8525:
http://www.america.htc.com/support/8525/software-downloads.html
I've attached a screen of the ROM ver and date.
It shows:
ROM version 3.62.502.3
ROM date 10/11/07
Radio version 1.54.07.00
Is this old? What versions are in the current ROM's on XDA?
Thanks

The build number is 18128.4.4. Currently the latest build available to wizard users is 18533, so technically speaking the AT&T build is old. That being said, I'm not one of those people who have to have the latest rom, I like my roms quick and stable regardless of how old people might think they are.

Well then for the Sake of Speed and Stability, Please release the ported rom. You have made your own grounds for release.
Thank you in advance.

I'll second that. Unless you're on dial-up, you might as well post.

Peter, if you have this ROM in kitchen form, would you be willing to share it? I could dump it, but my tools to dump Hermes ROM's are on another computer, and I'd like to simply take a look at the OEM folder of this ROM.

I have this in kitchen format on my work machine (won't have access to it till Monday), but how do you port from one device to another?
Is it as simple as replacing the device-specific files from a Wizard WM6? If so, I had found a list of device-specific files, but I don't know if this list is correct or comprehensive. Anyone know?
cecompr.dll
ceddk.dll
nk.exe
HtcPm.dl
relfsd.dlll
TrueFFS.dll
ROMHDR.txt
PARTHDR.txt
boot.hv
boot.rgu

I need some expert help here...

I ported WM 6.1 build 19202 over from a kaiser rom. I finally worked all the bugs out except for one...
How do i change the name of the rom in the 'About' screen?
It reads:
Kaiser Rom
CE OS 5.2.19199 (Build 19202.1.0.0)
I own a wing that thinks its a kaiser now!

did you try editing the nbh with romtool?

Yup, I used HTC Rom Tool and set the version = ICP-Touch 2.0 A
I just rebuilt and flashed it, same problem.

I tried that too, didn't work, then I gave up. Had WAY too many issues with my ported version.

I'm still at it
Ok, I just couldn't give up. I found another rom to port from, hopefully without a version name. I still would like to know how to change the version name of the rom.
Please.

Victory Is Mine!!!!!
I found it!!!!!
I don't know if I should tell everyone though. You should find it on your own just for the experience......
You will gain a HUGE understanding of how it works.

Victory is not mine.
I thought I had found it, but it ended up not working properly. It wasn't a total loss though; I did learn a lot about where the language 'strings' are stored.
Does anyone know how embed a custom version name into the 'About' screen.

HTC Raphael ROM Dump -=Need some wind back in our sails=-

Is it possible to create a new rom for the Kaiser from it?
In the post he say's that device felt very fast compared to the Diamond.
Maybe we could benefit from it also.

OMG, this is what i'm waiting for

Oh man, thats gonna be hottest topic i think, and hottest awaiting for a new rom!

Perhaps the HTC stuff from this rom, and the OS from the Xperia 20226 - although both of these are Beta roms, stability may be an issue.
Dl'ing both to have a look...

I wouldn't get your hopes up. Reading the post it seems that it will benefit Diamond owners more than Kaiser owners, plus there's nothing there that can help with porting Manilla over.
But I've been wrong before, although it was only 1 time.

The UI interface won't work on Kaiser, we know this already. Looking for some new Builds though and maybe better drivers....how about some new apps. This is what I would like to see

Hope this isn't too n00b of a question, but what about the OS version? If the UI won't work, that 's fine; but perhaps the OS is a bit more optimized and will work well for the kaiser..? what about the Radio? can it be used? Is it any better than what we have now?
Thanks in advance for any new information and answers to my questions!

Nope radio's won't work. GSLEON bravely tried to flash a Diamond Radio and it bricked his device. I would recommend that you wouldn't do this.
The OS version is what I am talking about.

The Windows build is 19960.1.2.2

Did the dump and alot of nice programs built into the SYS folder....problem is like the Diamond is that it is made for a VGA screen so in order to use a majority of the programs they need to be scaled down or reconfigured...
Doing a ROM right now with an XIP Port and moderated SYS port will let you know how it goes!!!

ryncppr, Im counting on you Bub!

Tried to install the opera .cab for it.
Got this Error.
Code:
Setup Error:
Unable to install application. Please update your device ROM to the required version before trying again.

Now we got another chef in the kitchen. This should be interesting.
It's a cook off!!!
EDIT: Gonna sticky the post for the time being!

Yep, HyperDragon IIIr coming soon

what kitchen are you guys using, I got the sys folder with all of the stuff in it, but I can't port over the XIP for some reason. Keep getting errors. As a matter of fact, zipped up my SYS folder is 99MB. I cant even get it to build the OS. AAAAAAARRRRRRGGGGGGHHHHHHH

How to Use Builds in Cooked ROMs?

I'm building my own ROM using Alex's Kaiserkitchen tutorial, but was wondering how to change the Build of the ROM? Can someone tell me how to do this?

IT has to do with the SYS folder...

i too am looking for someone to clarify this. how would you put the build in the sys folder?

build number is in the dsm file inside OS folder.

ok, I found the file, now how can we change it?

there is no shortcut to success . u'll have to read more n more. so u should start reading all the links given here:

OK, I've read them all! took me a while, but I did
now what?

anyone?

Read this. I wrote it for the Herald, but it applies to your phone, too. (At least the SYS part does. I'm not 100% sure about the XIP part being the same.)

Hex edit anyone? dude just a hint a few people have given you links to what you need no one going to spoon feed you, great information was given

That works but it appears all the new guys in the Kaiser Forum don't like to search anymore and like to be spoon fed.
I have been using your method for awhile and it works fine....

wow, didn't think that there would be so much commotion over one question. apparently nobody here has ever been a newb before
@austinsync: how do we use hexedit to change the build?

Good luck. There's nothing official for at least several more months. And besides, the Wizard is not a supported device, so it will have to be modded in order for it to even run.

I know M$ can't stop us. I was merely pointing out that a Final/Untouched build will be highly unlikely.
