Hi all,
Thus far has anyone managed to get any version of BB Connect running on WM6?
I have tried but with no joy
I also need help with this. The WM5 ROM had BB Connect pre-installed, but the WM6 one doesn't. Does anyone have the cab from the WM5 one?

Yes. Tonight I took the time to get things sorted. I now have WM6 and BBC 2.1.2.54 running. (Still no luck with BBC4)
Steps that I have done:
- Extracted the WM6 NBH (duttys tool)
- Hex-Edited the windows.nb
Original HEX string is:
4D3EA0E3063083E3452FA0E30510A0E302
New Hex string is:
1D3EA0E3013083E3452FA0E30510A0E301
This resulted in os version 5.1.465 (like the original WM5 for Athena)
- Used the Athena_upgrade package to flash this modified windows.nb to my device.
One word of warning when using this flash method: Be sure to read out the proper handle for the area where the .nb will be stored.
If you want the whole wm6 on your device do the full upgrade with one of the provided WM6-ROMs before flashing the above modified .nb.
- Don't forget to change the AKU to .3.3.1
Thanks to all involved people who provided the tools, wm6 and whatever. You have my greatest respect!
Cheers

Hi Cornholio: could you help me with more details on the process to charge into the pda this .nb file? I am not sure if needed to join in a full nbh all the diferent files with .nb after extract the rom or is needed only flash the os.nb
I tried unsucessfully the tools you mention and is not possible to charge the os. I think it is due my device is WM6 before..

Hi, you only need to flash the windows.nb file. It should also work if you already have WM6 on it. What has to be mentioned is that the itsutils in the Athena_Upgrade Package also did not work for me so I was unable to read out the handle and flash it, but I've downloaded the itsutils from here: http://nah6.com/~itsme/itsutilsbin-20070705.zip
and they worked without any problem.

i see that BB 4 works with Black, for 5.1.195. I tried some hacking for WM6 of Athena but BB 4 doesn't connect. I think it checks something more that the operative version.

Yesterday I have not resisted and I moved from T-Mobile ROM to O2 ROM using the file tmobile_t2_16050.rar downloaded form mdkia FTP. The strange thing is that after the upgrade everything remained the same (same software installed, contacts, EVERYTHING, also the extROM version: 1.60.36...) except for the start screen that now shows O2 logo...
What has happened???
Now I'm looking for O2 ROM 1.66, how can I find it?? I looked around but didn't find....
Grazie....
GOT IT!!!!!!
I made a HARD reset and Now I have a Wonderful XDA2 with ROM 1.60.50!!!
First impression: TODAY screen is really wonderful, MUCH MORE THAN MDA2 T-Mobile!!!!!!!!!
Now what I need is 1.66 O2 ROM!!!!!!!! Can anybody help???
peppepep
I'm very interested in your posting. I do not, unfortunately, have an answer for your question, but if you would be so kind perhaps you can help me.
I have the MDA II and I was running the 1.60 ROM with little to no difficulty, except for GPRS not always on, but I fixed that with the tool that is available.
Somehow my device got corrupted and I decided to upgrade to T-Mobile 1.60.36. Well that was a mistake, because I have had a very buggy device for about 2 weeks now, lots of problems.
Are you pleased with the 1.60.50 ROM? How specifically do I do what you did, which is going to the XDA II ROM Upgrade from 1.60.36?
What about the Country ID error I hear about? Does this present a problem?
Please help, I have posted on other threads here to no avail.
Ed
PS: I tried the FTP link, but I could not get connected.
Download the file "ROM TMobile to O2 1.60.50" from mdkia FTP: http://maja.mine.nu:8000/Login
user: xda2
pssw: xda2
I used this file to move form Tmobile to O2. No Country ID error because it has been modifyed by mdkia himself.
Let me know how it goes! (For me OK 100%)
peppepep
Edited: I did find out how to work the RAR File.
Naturaly I'm a little nervous about this.
Please tell me how you like the O2 ROM, and if you had any problems using the T-Mobile to O2 FLASH?
Forgive me, but I'm not familiar with using this type of file (RAR File) to flash my device. I have only used ROM Upgrade Files that provide automatic loading.
Could you please help me in this regard?
Also how do you like the 1.60.50 ROM, from O2?
A rar file is similar to a zip file, it is compressed and needs unzipping before you can use it.
The extended rom/ rar files
I downloaded the rom upgrade and it is fine, but what are we to do with ext_rom_o2_16050.rar.But (1.) What does this extension do? and (2.) How do I load it in in?
I assume you are requesting help to upcak the RAR File? If so:
You need a unzip or unrar file software. I do not recall the name of the software. I did a search and see that there are a few utilities for thiis out there.
I have it at home and could send it to you later.
Ed
Rar file
I can unpack the rar, that's not the problem, just what to do with all those extra files? Those aren't the Rom Upgrade files, they what are they?
I misunderstood your post evidently, and I'm still not clear on what your original post requests. "How do I load it in in?" I have yet to try the ROM Upgrade, but I opened the largest file displayed and it took me to a ROM Upgrade setup. It appeared to me that this is how you load it in. I'm not sure what the other files do, but I bet the utility for the upgrade would take those if needed.
What device do you have?
I own the T-Mobile MDA II, and I have never gone outside the T-Mobile ROM Upgrades. I may, however, because I do not like the current 1.60.36 I'm using. It is not very stable.
I hope T-Mobile comes out with a 1.66 soon.
My friend just got the hermes running the crossbow os, would someone tell me how to dump the rom out? Need urgen reply cause he will leave hong kong tomorrow.
First try Buzz's rom dumper. It's available here
There are reports that it won't work which may be related to the Hermes microSD slot. I'd try the miniSD version of Buzz's pgm first.
There are various ways to dump the ROM from a live device, I don't know which one will be the most reliable or will be more helpful to reconstruct the ROM after the dump, so if possible dump the rom in all methods explained here:
1) itsutils pdocread, as explained in the WIKI:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoDumpRom
This is IMHO the most reliable method, first use 'pdocread -l' to list all partitions, then dump ALL them in "raw" files. Feel free to ask if you need help or are unsure in any of the steps.
2) As Sleuth255 suggested, you can also try grab_it! tool from buzz, but I don't know if it will work or not.
3) There is also mamaich's TestWM5.exe, which dumps files and modules to SD card, but I think the dump will not be useful for creating a valid imgfs after, anyway try this method too.
4) It will be also useful if you dump the bootloader on this device: Run gnuharet.exe on the device, then telnet to port 9999 and issue this command: 'pwf splfile 0x30000000 0x40000' in gnuharet.exe
This will dump the running SPL in a file called "splfile" in the folder where you run gnuharet from. It will probably be corrupted by wince usb host buffers, but anyway will be useful too.
Good luck and feel free to ask if you have problems
Suspense is killing me... did we get a dump?
Also please, put the Hermes in bootloader mode (side ok + power button + softreset with stylus) and tell us exactly the IPL and SPL version you see in the tri-color screen. Probably we can investigate how to dump rom parts from bootloader using 'rbmc' command in mtty.

Any progress? Im all tingles here, my wife thinks im crazy...lol cannot wait to get my hands on this one...(and i dont mean my wife)
This should be interesting if he actually gets it
It is as follows
HERM100
IPL-1.00
HERM100 MFG
SPL-1.02
Ok, i will wait a while and I will provide you the commands to dump the ROM from bootloader. Meanwhile download HHD Usb Monitor trial version, and install it.

nice tease...guess i put it up for discussion in our Hermes meeting tomorrow..
Well lookey here! M$ also released a version that runs on the HTC Wizard. The Wizard was their preferred device at MEDC 2006.
I'm really wondering why they called it WM6.0 instead of SE or 5.5...
POF and other more intelligent people than me - if we do get this ROM I am more than happy to act as a guinea pig for this!! I have 2 days off work and a brand new Hermes to mess around with!
LOL I'm sure everyone will want to be a guinea pigs for this

possibly marketing...
Getting the ROM dump is only the first (most important) part. Next the talented folks here at xda developers will need to convert it to a flashable image. The Hermes architecture presents unique challenges here. I'm sure having this dump on the FTP site will add even more incentive to this effort which will also result in our ability to cook our own ROMs....

Yes, I did that. That means it can be done. But sorry, I forgot exactly how to do it. It was long time ago. I read the instruction somewhere and it was fairly simple and easy. You may search the forum to find it.
Basic problem is during the upgrade process, the English ROM sees the resident ROM is Chinese, it will say wrong language version and refuse to overwrite.
My recollection is during the upgrade process, before clicking upgrade button, go to Windows temporary directory, find the ROM image. Edit the ROM language version number and save it back. The first upgrade will fail and need to redo the upgrade but the second times it will not check the language and complete the upgrade.
There may be some unlocking program that may even make it simplier.
Atom Exec only put out upgrade once so I never have any upgrade to do afterwards so didn't keep track where I read the info.

Ok, since nobody response (no too many people buy AtomExec). Let me tell you what I did and worked but don't ask why because I do remember.
The reason CHT AtomExec cannot flash with English ROM that is normal because all manufactures want to keep tracks of the warranty of their machines and do not want users change the ROM software. Each IMEI number tells which language of the ROM it can use. For example, I am a register user of CHT AtomExec and O2 does not let me download the English ROM and I have to look for the ENG ROM in the intenet.
So each ROM must have something so the machine can tell whether it is the correct language for it. Instead of unlocking the machine, which I do not know how, here is what I did:
I. I opened the CHT ROM with a hex editor. I copy down its ROM number (it is in the first line, very easy).
II. I opened the ENG ROM with a hex editor, I carefully modified its ROM number as exactly like the CHT ROM.
III. I then flashed with the modified ENG ROM. The first time, it will choke. It does not know why the contents of the ROM does not match the ROM number but no harm done. It may or may not give you an error.
IV. Now flashed it again with the original ENG ROM. This time, it will flash with the ENG ROM without complain.
From now on, you can flash with any other ENG ROM, WM5 or WM6!!!
Good Luck!
Hi all, I've created HTC Topaz CustomRUU patched to perform a 'task 32' instead of a 'task 28' after flashing an .nbh, so it will not format your device if you just flash a radio or a splash screen.
How to: Drop the .nbh file of your choice in the same folder as CustomRUU and start flashing.
Have fun.
Changelog:
v1.1
Small fixes to avoid false detections by antivirus software.
Updated RUU Utility.
UPXed
Finally something that looks familiar - the RUU files
How do i get the dump from Dazbert or the files from Humble converted so i can use the RUU?

Incredible! CustomRuus and Roms already available, while the device isn't even out there yet! Well, I'm still waiting for it...
udK, where did you get one? I live in Switzerland too and want to get one.. don't want to wait until mid of april
Likewise!! If you find one available now, let me know too - PLEASE..

Thanks UDK,
Was waiting for this so I could try out the Asia_WWE_1.40.707.1 . I guess I can still use the same unpacker from the HD forum?
Can't flash the firmware
i can't flash the firmware using the method on this post. my computer is running windows vista 32. Please suggest me how to flash it. Thanks.
You can't it needs to be CID unlocked.
I have had two TD2 the first went back as was faulty , just died on me . The funny thing is it did flash which I was suprised about . But died soon after so not sure what was wrong there.
The second that I have now will not. We will have to wait for the unlock.
My AVG virus scanner warns me that your zip file contains a trojan horse..!!
Yep it will and so does mine ! Symantec
This has ben discussed on other forums and is a known prolem with the custom RUU
Trust me though it will be Virus free . Some virus scanners see it as a threat and throw it into quaranteen .
UDK and others on here are developers and Virus's are defo not their thing . I am not sure why it does it or why it sees it as a threat but rest assured it is not.

CustomRUU's for many devices are known to be identified as viruses by anti virus programs. There's really generally no problem.

Anyone know tool for 1st splash screen edit?
here http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=317726
but I am not sure Is it work for Hermes?
*Many of ROM Cook got really great job
But I also want to make my first boot splash without harm entire ROM
like http://forum.xda-developers.com/attachment.php?attachmentid=58325&d=1195153328
(only splash boot replacement)
It would be also more fun and life up for Hermes,
You can also upload your original splash boot for each Hermes
for me (Dopod 838Pro) which don't have yet -its gone by another ROM replaced
Thanks
i'm too worked with bootsplash & all well done. you can learn in from wiki or just ask from josh (or from hers kitchen thread). i have downloaded this tool from captfiero.com/roms/joshkoss/tools/. & now in this server not worked server list.
Or just use Search
you can edit&replace or delete first & second bootsplashs via Good NBHTool app.
you can get it from attach file
good lucky
