hello all, i am trying to load the S621 rogers rom into my tmobile Dash. this will be my first attempt in doing this and yes i am a noob. im trying out the DIY post on this forum on flashing any rom into the dash. i am well aware of the mishaps that could happen (bricking my phone). i hear the s621 rom is much faster than the standard wm6 rom that comes with the dash from tmobile. i am tired of the constant reboots and i would like to try this rom out. my only problem is i cant seem to find anywhere where the rom is available for download. i tryed the rogers website, but everytime i click the link it gives me an error. i am hoping that some1 is willing to help this noob out and host the rom for me or atleast direct me to where i can download it. i have tryed various torrents sites and i have come up empty handed. i have also tryed seaching in the forum and everything seem to point back to the rogers website. i have tryed the HoFo forum and same. please help. any info will be appreciated as to where i can d/l this rom. thanks for ur time.
found the rom mods please delete if u wish

Where and how did you find the rom? I've been looking to no avail. If you can't link legally or whatever, let me in on how you went about locating it. Thanks in advance if you do help...
i found it right on the rogers.com site. apparently the link that was turning up as an error had a part that i just had to deleted and it worked. this is the link:

Couple of questions about changing ROMs
please indulge a NOObie to the change process..
Situation...
I have a TMobile Dash that I upgraded to the official WM6 from TMo. It is SIM unlocked direct from TMo (traveling overseas and asked them to provide unlock codes - they complied).
Now the Questions...
1) If I change the ROM to Rogers WM6, will I lose SIM unlock?
2) Is the Rogers ROM that much better than the TMo one? (posts I've read indicate its the best one out there for WM6)
3) Can anyone tell me what functionailty I will lose moving to the Rogers ROM? (I've heard voice command, but what about long press keys provide "alt functionality", etc??)
Thanks so much in advance if someone could starigten me out here..

as a fello n00bert my self.. i switched from tmob wm6 to the rogers and i find the rogers much worth it than the tmob rom..
as for ur questions..
1)i dont think u would lose SIM lock b/c ur messing with the CID and not with the SIM and hopefully u still have the SIM unlock code tmo provided so that should unlock ur phone if it becomes locked (that if u flash it with jockyw2001's progs)
2)to me its worth it.. i havent restarted my phone for 2 days and i still have 15K+ KB in memory
3)no u wont lose the "long press key" function but then again there will be a shortage of progs that came standard with tmo wm6 like the OZ IM is not available on the rogers rom and the voice commands but u do have voice tags... plus u will have to reconfig the settings to tmos network..
hope this helps and for any false info i may have given.. sorry but thats how ive seen it and how i know of it from my own experience

dude u gotta be more clear.. u say u have tmo wm6 or the rogers? cuz from wat i understood was u have tmo then rogers and now u trying to flash a rogers over a rogers.. but as to flashing the rom follow the steps in this thread. the first post... for me it worked like a charm.. flashed my fone in under 15 mins on the first try.. but i do warn.. READ CAREFULLY.. to me thats the most important thing that every1 under estimates.. read the instructions carefully and u should have a successful flash..
as far as the OZ IM im not sure if u can get it back.. maybe some 1 can provide u with the files from a Tmobile rom for it to work. or u can try a 3rd party program like agile or IM+.. me personally i dont like the OZ IM so i use ebuddy.com or a program called SLICK.. and with the rogers rom in order to sync to a computer u will need active sync 4.5 i believe. u should be able to download it directly form microsoft website for free(thats wat i did)
hope this helps
So does the Rogers Rom also have the VOIP already installed or do you still need to follow the instructions in the other post to re-add the VOIP function? This would be the deciding point on if I need to switch from the TMobile ROM to Rogers!

well im guessing active sync is active sync.. but u still need to get past the CID lock which u would have to pay to get unlocked according to your fones IMEI or you can use the the process jockeyw2001 posted with his program and the sda unlocker which is the way i did it to my dash..
this is the link and the process i used which in 15 mins after CAREFUL READING got me the rogers rom into my tmobile dash:

Vista uses an update to Activesync called Device Center. It provides the same service as Activesync.
This is a newbie question and I may not have searched correctly but...
I am currently using a T-Mobile Dash that has been uprgaded to T-Mobile's WM6 Rom that was offered on their website. It originally had a previous version.
If I follow the instruction to flash the device with the Roger's Rom, and I end up missing functionality, can I simply follow the instructions again and re-flash the T-Mobile WM6 Rom upgrade on top of the Roger's Rom? I want to make sure I can go back if needed before I go through the process!
I also have my unlock code from T-Mobile because I travel overseas so if I needed to go back to T-Mobile's Rom once I flash it over to Roger's Rom, will I need to re-apply the unlock code?

yes u can flash back to the tmobile rom
I previously updated my Dash to the Rogers ROM but now I am going back due to a number of issues I've encountered. The biggest being the constant locking after I applied the App unlock and the AllowCertificate. Also, when I received calls, the call would cancel if I had another person on the line. Anyone else have these problems? I also could not take my calls off hold if they were placed on hold.

I have recently updated to the Alltel GPS Rev A Rom. I have not been able to get the GPS working on my phone (Bell Canada Network). I am going to keep trying but I am wondering if I were to go back to my ROM that I downloaded specifically for Bell, how would I do that? I have been told it is difficult to Flash back to a previous ROM. I am also a little nervous, when I connect to the internet on my phone instead of connecting through the BEll network. It says it is connecting to the Alltel network. Will this affect my billing? Maybve I should flash back my original ROM and wait for a Bell official release. If anyone can help me it would be greatly appreciated.
It is only a name on the connection. You are still connected to bell.
It takes a few minutes to get a lock....it is not uncommon to wait 2-5 minutes.
For myself, I use the 3.35 radio and I get my connection within 2 minutes most of the time with google map and igo

If you're getting paranoid seeing the AllTel Logo, just flash it to JD's 6.1 ROM and that will solve your problem. When it comes to the GPS, just make sure you followed all the instructions right for the GPS settings and for sure that will fix it. Just add a little patience with it.
With my Bell Touch everything is running smooth and awesome! its really worth doing the ROM upgrade!

Thanx for the advice, I actually ended up finding a ROM made for Bell at PPCgeeks (I don't remember the link). works like a dream. And again you were right, it was just a matter of being patient. I let it sit for a few minutes and it started to pick up my location. Thanx for you help guys!!
Questions from a Newbie!
This is the first thread I have found that pertains to The Bell Network here in Canada. I have the HTC Touch and from what I have been reading that it IS possible to get the GPS feature activated in the Touch. My concern is I dont want to pooch my phone as I dont have a regular home phone...the touch is all I have. I want to unlock this feature but I need someone to walk me through the steps. It would be nice to also have someone post likes to the files that I will need to unlock the GPS on my Bell HTC Touch.
I hope that someone will respond and take the time to explain this to me...thanks in advance
Help Please
I think I may have pooched my Bell HTC Touch. I updated the ROM....however it was a Sprint ROM v 3.03.651.2 and the Radio is 3.42.30. It works perfectly as a cell phone but I can not connect to the internet to surf. When I try using INternet Explorer it says ...connecting to Sprint PCS....and it does not work, I tried loading the correct ROM for Bell ( v. 1.19.666.1) ....but it will not let me do it.
Can anyone tell me how to fix my phone?!! ARGH!!!!
so i flashed my htc touch vogue with nsfans rom, i went to metro pcs to add my phone to my line, they couldnt get the phone into programming mode through the dial pad, so the associate asked if i could revert the phone back to original settings which is fine i can add the original sprint rom, butt when the phone is activated can i flash back to the custom rom and if so will all my metro pcs information be there so its still a usable phone, again any help would be greatly appreciated, thank you to all who are on these forums helping out folks who need it
Good to Go
Once activated, you'll be able to continue to use your phone when you do switch to the newer ROM.
GO!
thank you very much
The only reason you will have to reactivate your phone would be if you change your radio. Other than that, as long as you don't mess with the radio, you won't have to reactiviate/reauthenticate your phone.
got the phone workin with metro pcs, flashed the new rom nsfans 6.1 now if i could figure out the settings to change to get my internet working i would be in great shape, i must not understand this and think im going to have to have someone walk me through it but again thank you to all
Hi,
First of all, I am an absolute beginner when it comes to WM devices.
I just bought a Ipaq 910c, and the first thing that I did was to download the latest ROM from HP.ca; and flash the device. But I have realized that the version that I got from HP.ca was for the devices which HP sold through ROGERS. After flashing the ROM, device boots up and a screen pops up saying that there is an update available and forces me to click on apply. And it looks like device gets "locked" to Rogers after applying the update. Actually I am not sure if it locked for sure. I don't have any other carriers' SIM card to test it; but if I know Rogers, most probably the device is locked... I am planning to use the device on TELUS network by the way (I am in Canada eh!).
My questions are:
-What would be the best way to get rid of that "update" after the ROM flash?
-Or is there a better way of getting a "unlocked" ROM?
If I made any error with the terms and/or jargon, forgive me.
I would really appreciate if you answer my questions and/or show me the right direction to learn and understand this new world.
Thanks.
UPDATE:
Hi,
I have flashed the ROM with WM 6.5.3 build 28011 (by Montrecristo- excellent work by the way). Everything went well. Device booted up. I completed screen alignment and set the date and time.
But right after that screen, "HP Ipaq Customization" screen popped up again. I could not find a way to bypass that screen. The only working option on the screen is "Start". And if you clink on it, it changes the theme and it makes some restrictive changes to the "data connection setup" properties.
After the customization, I cannot select any carrier under "Ipaq Data Connection" other that Rogers.
I have confirmed that the voice communication works with other carriers. But data communication does not.
Does anybody have a solution? Is it possible to prevent that update from running by modifying a registry entry? Or is it Radio-ROM pushing this update?
Thank you in advance.
Hey, just wondering if anyone has posted (or can post) a Rogers Ipaq 910c ROM please. Thanks VERY much...
