What is the latest position on the Official HTC WM6? - Advantage X7500, MDA Ameo ROM Development

There seem to be a lot of different WM6 variants kicking around this forum which seem to require various scary-sounding unlocking/tweaking to install.
What I cannot find is the latest estimates on when/whether the official HTC WM6 will be available? The HTC web site basically says "contact your operator" (in my case T-Mobile UK).

t-mobile uk are not releasing wm6.

So install it from this site - no unlocking needed, it just works on UK Ameos

Thanks Confucious!!

Hey Confucious,
I never realized how supportive you had been to the Athena Project until I visited Modaco today (hadn't been there in quite a while ). But seriously...Thank you. It's not just your financial contribution that helped this get off the ground, but your commitment and belief in the Project.
Nice one mate.

That WM6 is compiled for TiOmap 850, though they are both arm based I do not believe it will work on the samsung system.

I think you meant NO not "now" it makes a big different for us.
SDinsider posted pics of crossbow running on a TyTN. They're in the Crossbow thread.
I can confirm crossbow is compiled for the hermes as I saw it running on an 8525 at a recent microsoft launch event. it will probably never be available for us though since I saw that the hermes successor is already announced with the main difference being that its gps antenna has been connected.
Hey, that's marketing for ya. The hermes has the chips, but the next gen lets them work, progress.
Well I love my hermes, best PPC/phone I've had yet, but I'd shell out more money in a heartbeat for the next gen with integrated GPS and crossbow.
You said that it's announced? What's it called and where can I read about it??
Thanks for any direction!

GUys, every week I have a business meeting with the Windows Mobile BG @ BMicrosoft Brazil, and every time I still keep asking for the Hermes WM6 ROM, because there is one for sure and I don´t care if it will be official released form Htc, just keep on trying, we can do better customizations here at xda dev.

HTC not planning a WM6 Upgrade

HTC not planning a WM6 Upgrade for Current Devices?
By JNGold, posted Wednesday, Feb. 14th, 2007
XDA Developer forum member swartb received an email regarding a Windows Mobile 6 upgrade for his current HTC P3600. Basically, HTC responded with a reply that no upgrade path would be offered for current devices, leaving only newly released devices getting some WM6 love.
This is in stark contrast to what other OEM's (and even mobile carriers) have initially stated regarding upgrading existing devices.
Anybody remember what Gerald Ford told NYC back in the 70's that made the front page of the newspapers? Kind of the same thing here.
Bad news indeed if this comes to pass

We won't know what happens until it happens, but there are others who say there will be "some" upgrades...

these are meant to be released on herm devices.

"Software updates" on HTC Europe Website appeared !

Hello everybody,
the official software update for the HTC TyTN seems to come pretty soon:
The menu "software updates" just appeared this minute on http://www.europe.htc.com/support/support.html?device=htctytn.
Unforunately the update itself is not yet available - but I guess it will appear pretty soon.
Lumi74
Euhm... That has been there as long as I can remember...
Jörg
No, definitely not. I´ve been waiting for that menu to appear all the time. But I expected the software update to appear at the same time...
Maybe the point "software updates" has been available in Belgium (which language do you use on the HTC site?) all the time, but definitely not in german.
Lumi74
Ah, I'm seeing that site in English... and it has been present there for a long time.
But if it just appeared in German, it might indeed indicate something is afoot.
Jörg
This is new, also the wording that used to say "No upgrade for HTC branded devices" has now gone from the support section!! Looks like theya re ready to relkease an update.

The hint was nice, but useless Because it just say's that there is no new ROM available.
But please - keep it up

Jörg, don't want to start a flaming war, but you're wrong. This is a new menu option when you have the TyTN selected as your phone. I have been checking daily ever since the new Leaf Wireless AKU 3.3.1 ROM was released. This is good news.
John
In fact, i'm afraid this menu is appeared for the P3600's update
The site doesn't show the Software updates anymore
Oops, sorry, yes it does! They moved the link to the left side.
Good news, but I'm wondering what kind of update we have to expect. WM5 2.05 AKU 3.3 or WM6?

I will bet dollars to doughnuts that it won't be WM6. Almost sure that it will be WM5 AKU 3.3.1.
John
My assumption is that if any official WM6 upgrades do become available they will not be for free (Just as one cannot upgrade a desktop PC from XP to Vista for free, The same being true from the big OS X releases, not to forget my Mac prefering friends).
To be honest, I am just basing this on a dim recollection that once upon a time a few iPAQs (non-phone models I think) had an update made available. This is going back a bit... so might even have just been an update to 2003SE. Maybe it was WM5, I just can't remember. Anyway the bit I do recall is that my iPAQ wasn't included and for those that were it cost 40 or 50 bucks-ish.
Obviously WM6 is much more than a bug fix for an existing release, so it is very different from, say, a RadioROM update!
There is a good chance I have backed myself into a corner again this time as I have a Trinity. The Hermes seems to be the big seller and I would think an official WM6 offering would be much more likely than for the Trinity (Plus you lucky people already have some unofficial options).
Guess we will see soon enough

The longer I think about it (and the longer no update for the TyTN shows up), I fear the P3600's update is the true reason for the new "software updates" menu...
Nevertheless I won´t give up my hope for a soon official update.
BTW: I guess it will be WM5 AKU 3.3x and not WM6. But surprises (newer than AKU 3.3) are welcome!
Lumi74
Information from Greek distributor say that the release is near.
They have the ROM ready and want to make it also Vista Upgradeable and is matter of some days.
We also wait. 99% AKU 3.3.1

Edit..
It's on the left hand bar!
Sorry!
The Link "Software Updates" is still there! On the left side.
the update cab wit provider settings (mms, ...) for P3600 also works on TyTN!
really a lot of ountries to choose from

Any news on Athena WM6 from HTC?

Any last minutes news of when will HTC officially come out with WM6 for the x7500? Will Blackberry Connect be included by any chance?
BTW, search Nazis I did searched.

You may be telling half-truth about searching You would have found that it is now scheduled for 27th July
Shame on me. I humbly bow to your vastly superior search abilities.
Now seriously, Thanks!
Will this one be expected to be any different than then x7500 WM6 rom being already posted here? Blackberry Connect?

Yes shame on you, if you read anything about WM6 in general you would have known the official WM6 won't work with Crackberry connect. Until Crackberry connect client supports VM6, only hexed version of WM6 will work with it. I believe a few people were working at hacking the Crackberry client to make it work with any WM6. Use the search again to see if there is an update on the hacked Crackberry.
Too late for me. I already flashed mine to WM6, so now Mr.SearchInept (me) has to find a way to make BB connect work. I did find a hex edit hack by c0rnholio that apparently works. So there's hope for me after all (I mean in searching)
Here's the link for those interested:
c0rnholio's Blackberry Connect hack thread...
WM6
i called the UK help desk today with a few questions and the told me that the update for WM6 is scheduled for mid september.

that was the idea as wm6 was infront of you when you go in the athena forum you got
1.athena
2.athena upgrade
3.athena accessories
4.athena mobile 6
please read and search before you post, i intentionaly gave you the asian link as there was no way you should have miss wm6 for athena.
good luck upgrading
Cant use this if you have a Non HTC version
I just thought i would tell people who have a Ameo or any other operater supplied version of the HTC Athena that you cant use the HTC site for the WM6 upgrade. You have to give them the IMEI number and if it aint one from there company it wont accept.
Does anyone have a downloaded version of this that they could add to the site or could they send me a link to there HTC Authentic version of WM6.
Thank you
