well look I've tried it I dont know how many times now without any luck so I must be very very dumb or I'm missing something critical along the way but it gives me various options none of which include windows 6.0..... ai.... I know the solution is staring at me I just see it for now, perhaps a security setting on my browser, or a firewall, I dont know...

Look I'm having a hard enough time finding the 6.0 but tell me Landy? how would I restore SPL2.10 to standard tytn? Would I flash 5.0 rom version?
Finally got sick and tired of waiting for Leaf's non existant rom. Went over to www.htc.com, signed in to the htc club, hit phone software updates and I don't see a single phone listed???? Something wrong with the site or is IS on the fritz again? Tried with firefox 2.0, ie 7 and ie 6 they all show the same thing

Ok, after signing on the e-Club, you need to register your device by inputing the phone's Serial Number found under the battery. If you dont do that, you wont be able to download the ROM.
Good luck guys

Ya, they are struggling indeed. I think thats because they havent registered their devices yet. If thats not the case, then I rest my case..

Storage Card Unavailable.
Howzit.
I'm having problems with my storagecard. Every now and then (once a day) when I try to access programs on my Storage card the TYTN gives me some kind of message that the card isn't present.
I then take it out reinsert and all is back to normal.
Anyone else getting this problem?
Also will this be a card fault or phone fault.
If it's the phone, I will need to get my phone back to factory default so that I can take it to leaf.
I'm currently running there rom but with Hard SPL 7

A Newbie with Newbie tendencies...
I tried
but failed dismally 
trying to make sense of a thread this long just isn't possible. So here's my story...hope you techie types can help:
Got myself a HTC TyTN 2 months ago. Thought I'd join this site to figure out how the hell the thing works, tried to be a power ranger and start reading the thread from the 1 post...realised very soon that that was stupid...so i skipped to midway through the thread...only to be met by a whole lot of jargon i don't quite get.
Ok, I have a TyTN...it has WM5...what should I do to it...in layman's terms please ???? 
Oh, I tried downloading the new WM6 from HTC's site...it just takes too long. Even our company's network gave up after 2 hours. Does anyone know where one could get it in SA? On a disc or something? Maybe even zipped? I've mailed Leaf but as has been mentioned before in this thread, they're running in the wrong direction.

Got an email response from Leaf...
Thanks for the email on HTC TyTN/Hermes
Unfortunately we don’t have windows mobile 6 for the pocket pc’s yet, Because We are still testing WM6 for South Africa and have not yet released the final ROM.
If the parent company has approved and is rolling it out internationally why can it be rolled out here in SA?

It does look like the European HTC FTP server is taking some strain ... can you begin to imagine how people world wide are downloading that ROM as well ...
Anyway ... i got the ROM but i am in Cape Town

When I spoke to the Product Manager last, he mentioned that the Radio included in the official release locally would be SA specific and not any of the other radio versions currently floating around. They were testing 3 weeks back so I can't see what's hoding them back.

Incompetence is what's holding them back. Anyway I DL and installed WM6.0 and yes it takes f.....g ages to DL, like 6hours!!! But it's a nice piece of software. In love with my tytn all over again...

mmmmm... I didn't use Black Majik for all that long but I would probably say stick with Black yes, although it shouldn't be too difficult to flash WM6.0, use it for a while and decide thereafter... 6.0 is nice but it's not it's not revolutionary, it's a nice evolution from 5.0, not as radical as say vista is to xp...
As with everything else .. in the long run factory spec will always be better than anything customised .... the WM 6.0 ROM's are quite stable and run really smooth ... but having said that if the Custom ROM works for you then dont fix it if it aint broken.
