Greetings,

Just in case it hasn't been posted here. You can now download WM6 for your AT&T 8525 at the HTC website.

I loaded the upgrade last night. I think its great. The 3 key features I was most anticipating were: Windows Update, Storage Card Encryption, and Mobile Outlook being HTML enabled. Now with Outlook being HTML enabled and Gmail going IMAP, it will be a rare occasion when I have to recheck my Gmail from a computer to view a message in its entirety.
And an FYI: That ROM upgrade is only available through February 08 then it'll be removed from the site, so if you are on the fence about upgrading, you may want to download the ROM at the very least incase you change your mind later on.

Ok - total newb question. When I go to the HTC site to update to WM6, it talks about backing up your current settings.I cant figure out how to do this. Do I need some other software? If I dont back up, will I loose my contacts and that it?

some update trouble

I am having some trouble getting the update on my device. When it gets to the screen where it shows progress of the update, my active sync shuts down, my device goes dark and it get a connection error from the update utility. the device restarts fine, but I have not been able to gain any progress on updateing the ROM. Any suggestions?

Well, I did it. I updated my system with the HTC website upgrade to WM6. I had to update my ActiveSync to version 4.5 too.

I also installed the PIM backup.

It was easy and painless. Now to look at ways of upgrading WM6!

Did you set your 8525 to where it will not shut itself down after so long? Just an idea.

Ok try putting the phone into bootloader mode by pressing the ok button on the left side the power button on the right and softrest making sure to keep the first two buttons held down while softresting.
This will give you a tri colored screen and then connect the phone and try running the update. Please note that you will not active sync your device in this mod.

I put a few questions about this on other threads but they got buried and I can't find them...and nate your inbox is full so i couldnt PM you.

With the 8525 wifi hack working since usb connection does not with wm5, will that hack no longer work with wm6? And with this wm6 upgrade, will the usb connection (tethering) now work?

Also, if custom wm6's from xda or wherever are better, would i void my warranty by upgrading to them? Because I am looking to turn in my phone and replace it because it has had so many problems in the past and currently my sound doesnt work for videos or alarms (yes i know how to turn the volume on and go to notifications and make sure its checked on). Thanks...I think i had more questions but ill take it slow.

Ok sry i get way to many pm's for a little 50 message box. You can email me if its needed.
Ok the hack should work contact me as I would like a copy of the hack, Im using the usb teathering right now its a little slow here as we only have edge.
Yes it will void you warranty but all you have to do is reflash the rom back to the oem rom, and they will be non the wiser.
Have you tried maybe core player or another video program as oposed to wmp? Also try wm6 and see if this solves the issue, may have been a bad plug-in.

So if I put on someones personal wm6 I would void my guarantee...but would I void it if i used HTC's wm6? And on their site it says theres no rolling back to wm5.

And I don't think its windows media player I am using...I dont get sound when i play videos from cingular video, it has like an onsite plugin for playing videos I believe, plays them fine just no sound. WM6 should solve this problem, but I really want to return it and get a new one and get a case cuz mine is really dinged up and even a big scratch on the screen. So I really dont want to hurt the chances of replacing it.

Um I have a custom rom so you might have to pay for tethering im not sure but I have an unlimited plan so as far as Im conserned they can go...
Just return the phone if your worried about it, dont believe htc you can always go back to wm5 its just a simple rom flash.
never heard of pdanet so no.
If you use HTC support you will be under warrenty if you use something other than an htc rom then you wont be under warrenty.

Creepy problems

I downloaded the AT&T program to update my 8525 from HTC and HATE IT. They removed the cool Cingular rings like "old phone" the menu's are now LESS intuitive making it more difficult to reply or delete text for example.

It gets worse for me, my menus are not working properly, when I hit "contacts" it takes me to messaging and on my wifes phone her start menu is getting worse in that many menu items on the screen are not responding or going to the wrong area of the phone

Does anyone have a link to get the HTC TyTn upgrade to WM6 or downgrade to the non-branded WM5 and latest rom, AT&T is not cool at this moment.

no this is a device specific rom just like every rom, please dont post several questions with there only being one posible answer. No this will not work on your phone further more there is no wm6 upgrade for any o2's that I know about. I would love to have a flame but because of o2's lack of suport for their devices. In the future I would suggest a htc device.
