New Cingular 8525 Upgrade; Blackberry Connect, Cingular Video and More!
A pre-release version of a new ROM for the Cingular 8525 a.k.a HTC TyTn has surfaced over at xda-developers, and it looks to be a big one. You remember, the one we told you about right? Sporting support for Push-To-Talk, Cingular Video, and Blackberry Connect, the new ROM features far more than the usual upgrade fare. Of note is the fact that the updated operating system now features an AT&T splash screen when you boot the device. This one isn’t official yet, but judging from reports out of both xda-developers and HoFo, it’s only a matter of time. If anyone feels like taking the unsupported plunge right now, please let us know!

What is the likelihood of an upgrade to WM6? I know it’s a stretch, but it would be really cool if it was an option.
Is there anyway we can put that ROM on the Cingular 8125? I would like my phone to bit a bit faster if I cant get that… Anything?
all this actually sounds good…
i would definitely like to upgrade my 8525 right now if possible… blackberry connect? that’s perfect…
how do i get my hands on the upgrade?
yo has anyone tried this… my 8525 freezes too much and i NEED push gmail in my life, holler back
Im all over it if the BG wants to post a link to the ROM, ill install it right now…
straight up, hip-hop:
a lot of people at http://www.ppcgeeks.com have said mail2web is a great way to go for gmail push. check out the forums… it’s free for some services, pay for others, including making it so you can have your gmail address as your reply addy….
Im using it on my phone now. It works great. Probably the youngest one to take the plunge lol but Ive ben modding since the Moto E398 has been around…just turned 18!
I was just about to post that I got the Rom loaded up. And boy, the improvments are quite apparent. The phone feels much more stable, aswell as the obvious software changes.
*Holding the comm button down now toggles Vib/Ring
*Cingular Video is now supported
*PTT is too…
*Blackberry icon in the program area
*att&t logos all over the place, Cingular 8525 huh…
The list goes on!

I will be getting my 8525 this week and i’m already looking into upgrading it.
My 8525 will come with the Windows Mobile 5.
This upgrade you talk about will it upgrade it to Windows Mobile 6?
If not which version of the upgrade should i install?
Thanks in advance for your answers, i’m a complete newb at this.
my advice, whatever that means, stick with the version it already has. i’ve had the 8525 since my local store got it in november and i follow the “if it ain’t broke…” mentality on this one. also… why would you risk bricking a $500 phone, i don’t know about you, but i don’t have that just blaze guap to take a chance like that… plus you don’t even have it yet so you wouldn’t know to improve it without even trying it out
Just came across this on cingular forums: http://forums.cingular.com/cng/board/message?board.id=cingular&message.id=36229
does anyone have the link for the update i would love to get it
hey where did you get the rom
I have the update for the 8525 (I work for at&t). And I have owned a 8525 since it first came out and have been waiting on this update with the ptt for a very long time. Our PTT is awesome I like using that because I can just look at my phone and know if someone is available to talk or not. And the closing of programs is awesome it save time on going to memory and running programs and close all like you use to have to do. If you are looking for the update just go to http://www.htc.com and put in your provider and the phone model and then go to support. And from there it is a breeze.
I upgraded the Rom and reinstalled Good soft. I am no longer able to access my Good contacts from the phone screen. Previously it used to go to my Good contacts and not the phone contacts. Any ideas, fixes, etc.
