I was boring searching about X1 and 6.5, and I find this message published yesterday on facebook, about a guy that talks about a 6.5 ROM that XDA has got. I suppose that is talking about the Itje ROM. But the thing that I saw amazing is that he said he called Sony Ericsson and they him to them that it will be an update after X2 were released. Don't you understand this reading the message? I attach the link to the message to this post:
http://es-la.facebook.com/topic.php?uid=39963827922&topic=11173
Best regards
Complete bs, IMO.
there is no update. the build he is talking about is the one itje has but SE has said that a 6.5 build will never be released. the build was only for testing purposes.
i think we should wait and see, up to time there is no official info stating that the x1 will never or it will get 6.5, even tho on their blog they stated
We picked up on a couple of rumours from yesterday that an official X1 Windows Mobile 6.5 rom had surfaced on XDA developers. Just wanted to be clear that this isn’t true.
There is no official X1 6.5 rom and it’s not in the X1’s product roadmap. There are hackers out there who can do pretty much anything, but unless you’re getting it from the SE update service it isn’t an official Sony Ericsson product.
so lets wait and see if they will or will not

all companies test stuff with no intentions of releasing it. so the build was a test build or itje lied about the build (with i refuse to believe).

I think itje has a test build but I also think that this test build was made on X1 with intention of knowing If X2 will be able to run WM6.5 with the same hardware as X1 or if it is needed to bring some more powerfull hardware into X2...
that article does not say there will not be or there will be, that is a perfect structure using the best english language possible, to keep us from believing there will be or there wont be, because its too early to say if they will or wont update simply because the x2 is on the horizon, its not smart for SE to say they will update the x1 or they wont...
its called marketing, regardless what anyone says, that article is not saying that there wont or will... was the R3A updates on the roadmap? what happened to the goodies of R3A? weren't they in the roadmap for R3A? did we get them?
only time will tell if we will get the update or not, by december i should have one of the new HTC devices anyway
itje did leak stuff before, and we never got em, i believe roadmaps do change

at least 1 of the firmware update was on the roadmap, the second came when they did not sort out all the bugs in the r2 update.
u will find its in plain english. its not in the x1 roadmap and everyone knows that when the x2 is released SE will stop production of the x1 and stop updating the firmware.
I will make it easy for u to understand. if u want 6.5, SE wants u to buy an x2

I don't think the Sony blog could have been any more clear about there not being an official 6.5 release.
First they say that itje's ROM is not an official release (which most likely means that it is an internal testing ROM that was leaked
Then they say that there is no official 6.5 ROM out there.
And then they say that they have no plans to make an official 6.5 ROM.
It seems very clear to me can they change their minds? Possible, but very unlikely.

That's bull. The ROM doesn't care on your OS, you can use MacOS for all it cares. If you have flashed a 6.0 ROM before then just flash a 6.1 ROM.
Note: you will have to Flash a 6.1 compatable radio, if it isn't included in the ROM.
If you hav'nt flashed before, read the Getting Started Link in my sig.
Ta,
Dave
What 6.1 ROM are you speaking about? One of the many cooked ROMs found in this forum or the M$ official one?
the microsoft rom, i have never done a rom burn just read up on it and consider it. kinda want to let my phone be atleast a month old before i start to burn new roms.
As far as I know the M$ 6.1 ROM has not been released but just officially announced and it's up to the manufactures to release it. I could be wrong but thats how I read it.
you are looking at a page for Windows Mobile Device Center 6.1 for Vista, a desktop interface...
...not Windows Mobile 6.1
Here's a really naive question - if WM 6.1 hasn't been officially announced or released (least of all for the Kaiser) where do the various cooked versions of it come from, and how does anyone know that they're definitely the full 6.1, and not just some prototype-like sample? I mean, isn't there a chance that the actual 6.1 that MS announce and HTC start releasing for phones will be different?

That's what I did. I think this way is best cos when you flash you REALLY feel the speed increase
But just for clarification, as boomermax said, were you looking at Windows Mobile Device Centre? If so, this is Vista's version of ActiveSync, ActiveSync can no longer be used in Vista.

Also the e-mail I sent to AT&T asking the same question, was told that the manufacturer (HTC) would be providing a ROM update if there was one... So apparently it's still a mystery!

I see official ROMs all over XDA!!!What makes this one any different? When I see an Official ROM from the manufacture, then I'll be happy....
but why would a company such as vodafone not use an official rom?
or are you implying that this was never from vodafone?
but yea, if micropoop pull their finger out and release wm6.1 or even wm7, that would be nice...

I'm just saying that if I goto the Manufacture or carriers web site and see the official Update, then I will be happy and believe it's official. Most of the WM6.1 ROMs in this forum have come from leaked versions or something like that. I think It's top secret!
ahhh i see what you mean...
...tho, i'd be very suprised if vodafone actually put up useful information/updates on their site

my guess is he eats microSDHC cards for breakfast...
Just an educated guess tho
I think itje do more job in one week, than all microsoft team (who creates windows mobile) in one month
A big respect for him.
LOL if I remember seeing correctly, itje had to take the rom down because of MS copyright or just complaints...Still looking forward to it tho man
No offence, but I'd rather Itje perfected Touch-IT Landscape v4.0 first.
Once that's been tweaked to his satisfaction, and he's had time to catch up with his life, THEN it may be worth asking him if he'll do a ROM based on WM6.5. Personally, I think I'll be happier with a streamlined TouchFlo3D interface than the honeycomb and today screen WM6.5 uses.
I am NOT working on a release to any 6.5 at this rom at the moment.
My only priority now is v4...
I did cook it for personal review, but it is still not worth the effort on posting it.
I will neither respond to any PM or email from ppl wanting to test it.
itje....close this post. And the users of this forum will not confuse...

so u saying it makes not sence to try it yet?
That's exactly what he's saying.
Right now, everyone is using unofficial beta releases of WM6.5 to try it out and it isn't exactly ready for everyday use YET. That's also why MS has been asking XDA-Dev to close threads relating to WM6.5 ROMs.
If you hold fire for a few months, you may find that HTC and other manufacturers may update their phone's ROMs towards the end of the year.

hi to all
i want download official wm 6.5 for my pro2!! is it Release from HTC?!!
{insert facepalm here}
I think he meant to put a ? instead of a !
I contacted HTC in the Netherlands and they wrote me they dont have an exact date yet when they will release it on their website.
Where do you get it will be released today?
And yes, when released, it will be available on the HTC website.
Some websites stated 6th Oct too, but since I cant find it anywhere in HTC website...
So I guess its not true that the new ROM is out lol
The fact that Microsoft officially releases it to the world does not meant that manufacturers such as HTC automaticaly release it as well.
In theory the development cycle for manufacturers only starts today. The fact that big players such as HTC have had WM6.5 at their disposal earlier than today only makes that their release date will be somewhat sooner than what normally could be expected ...
Patience y'all !!
Orange say they'll have 6.5 available for download by October 12th, so i guess HTC will release it by then.

+1 closing thread..
Is there any stock T-Mobile roms that have been upgraded to Windows Mobile 6.5? I tried out a few roms on here and none of them is working out for me, some even have minor issues with the speed of my TP2.
What exactly are you trying to ask...
Are you asking if TmoUS has released an official 6.5 ROM update?
As far as the ROM's on this site, you would have to shoot me before I go back to a branded ROM. The chef's on this site have done a great job in bringing us cooked ROMs that are far superior than anything any carrier could release to us.
Check your providers website to see if there are official updates.
Some websites posted some info about the release dates of WM6.5. Do a search for that...

I'm not trying to say that the roms on this site isn't good, I'm just saying in my opinion that they aren't good for me. I went to T-Mobile's Windows Mobile Upgrade website and there isn't even the original rom up there for the Rhodium/TP2. They have it for the older phones like the HTC Wing, Shadow, Dash 3G

Well if all you are looking for is the Stock TmoUS rom, someone has dumped and rebuilt it for the Tmo forum users.
Mind you this is the WinMo 6.1 rom that the TP2 was launched with.
As far as a 6.5 version, nothing has been released yet by TmoUS as far as I know.

Noonothing has not released yet, give it a week or 2.
the release is from TMobile De
and here http://www.t-mobile.de/downloads/neu/mda_vario_v.zip you can download it.
The build is 21854

No one knows yet, reported to be the fall time, so anytime in the aug-oct timeframe id guess to the carrier then who knows after that to the rest of us.

It has not yet been released. Just a general time frame of sometime this fall.
Microsoft is wanting a fall release to end users and that seems pretty plausible as they are about to release developer devices en masse which means that the update is at least already RTM (release to manufacturers) or has been RTM for a while. Meaning that the carriers have the majority of the summer for their testing. A European branch of Microsoft even said mid-October release.
That no one know it, Microsoft said it will release an upgrade in the fall
