Hi guys, I am a serial lurker here for several years.. and finally decided to upgrade my vario 2 to shiny wm6. I have downloaded black 2.5 and wanted to find out it all works great and how to install....
i haven't made any other changes to my vario 2 so want to get this right first time!
I think you need to lurk (and read) a bit longer, this same question has already been asked today!
lol, I read that which sparked an interest in upgrading...
What I wanted to know was which was the "best version" to install and what was the best procedure to follow for tmob uk.. I have seen plenty that mention the usa networks but no instructions specifically for tmob..
I know that a lot of you guys have already done it, so I just wanted to pull at your experience and get a good safe method!!!
Put on the fire proof suit quickly my friend, I think it will get very hot very shortly.
Check the WIKI, look for custom rom upgrading and follow MrVanx's idiot proof guides.
Black 2.5 has a UK TMob version as well. The thread is fairly obvious.....
great thanks for the advice....
I will look for it.... would be handy to have a direct url for any other tmob users that come across this post...
I used vanx
I used vanx's update method to install the hard spl, and now my phone is stuck on the 4 colours and won't go any further......
Can anyone help?
His guide also has a what to do if things go wrong section IIRC?
Also, read all 74 pages of this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=296722
phew I was lucky, I only needed to reset as it was stuck in bootloader. however when I try to instal hard spl it gives me a request to run enterbl.exe which when I run it, resets the device immediately into a boot loader screen (the colors) and doens't update the firmware...
Have you got all the necessary .net framework stuff installed?
Presume you are using XP not Vista.
i'm still using black 2 but will be upgrading to black 2.5 over the next few days when i have time. I'm also on t-mobile uk and although i havn't tried either the standard black2.5 or the t-mobile one, it'll be the standard version I install as i'd rather keep my phone clean from any t-mobile stuff. Thats just me though.
.net framework? I have looked all over and can't see any reference to it.. can you clarify??
edit:sorry am runnig latest 2.0 version

You need .net framework 2. If you havent got it, download from microsoft. You should read MrVanx guide
You will need to wait for one of the gurus to look in then I am afraid - I followed the guide and it all worked for me.....
T-Mobile - UK W'n'W
I've bitten the button and upgraded both my rom and radio and so far so good
Check this thread, it helped me when I was stuck on bootloader:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_Unbrick
thanks for the message, however I am back in the os... I think it must be some type of software lock.... does t-mob application lock their devices?
Hi, dont know about t-mobile, but I know Orange uk lock their's. However I followed Mr Vanx's excellent guide on the hermes wiki & have flashed a few times with no problems so far. Currently running Black 2.5 (excellent), with no issues.
I use
t-mob and hermes adn black 2.5. Absolutely great.
haven't bothered with the specific t-mobile flavoured rom, but downloaded a cab file which you won't need which oads the settings for mms and other such "treats" like that.
Have used black since 1.0 and think it's great, and continues to get better.
Just switch to alltel from verizon (MUCH CHEAPER) I find the screen and theme to be a little boring. Are there any updates I can use to make it look Amazing.
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
Amazing.
Use your imagination + all available software + custom graphics
I've tried CRiSTALv04 but I got 2 errors while it tried to update the rom to wm 6.1 something. I'm afraid that I'm going to brick my new phone so I stop. or there anything else that I can use beside flashing my rom.
Uhhhhh......
For someone who only wanted to change themes, you may want to slow down on the ROM flashing !

This might be a dumb question: was your phone unlocked properly? Custom ROM's are great. Try to find one with Manila 2D and you will think you bought something from Dumbledore's secret wizardry tools. Plus, most custom ROM's have much better graphics (clearer fonts, better application skins, etc.). None of the custom ROM's have things so customized you can't immediately continue normal use.
I use Dette's 2.3 and really enjoy it. Look for it on ppcgeeks.com in the Vogue->Vogue Upgrades forum.
UPDATE: I now use NFSFAN's Sprint 1.03 and it is by far the best custom ROM EVER.
SPAWN, did you ever get your problem solved? People who help you would like to know how things go.
Yo Dudes!
Well the title says it all. Im not actually the new guy but this is most likely the frist thread that i have made on this forum.
Ive been flashing my sister Artemis for ages now and now she is ready to pass is down to me where i can start experimenting like CRAZY!
Im doing research on cooking my own rom and working my head around how thats going to work is kinda driving me nuts.
But i was wondering could the kind community of XDA-Developers please post some links and images of what roms they are using?
Also can someone make the following a bit more clearer to me:
What is Radio?
What is Extended ROM?
What does Extended ROM do?
What is the latest Windows Mobile Build?
Thanks in advance!
What is Radio? - the part of the rom responsible for handling the signal
What is Extended ROM? - a separate section within the complete rom, usually consisting of provider specific stuff
What does Extended ROM do?- see above
What is the latest Windows Mobile Build? - wm 6.5 Build 21139.5.0.0 (afaik)
greetz
thanks mate that helped clear things up.
i was reading around and heard of a new Radio out. can any one help me out with a link?
try using the search
and newer isnt always better....lots of people have reported bad battery drain issues with the latest radio version on 6.5 and reverted to an older one...same was true on 6.1, some roms just run better with certain radio versions
Hi, I bought a HTC touch pro 2 phone a couple months back with windows mobile 6.5 on the phone and today i woke up to find that the operating system was some beta version and that it has run out so now the phone is not working. There is no information anywhere what to do.
I have tryed going on the htc site and downloading software but when i put the serial number in it says that it is not suitable
How can i install an operating system that will work or even get this version to work
Any help would be apprecitated
What an incredibly weird problem.
Your best bet* is to go to your carrier's website (rather than HTC's) and download their most current ROM.
Alternatively, you could download one of hundreds of custom ROMs here or on other sites. Just make sure you use a GSM ROM if you have a GSM phone or a CDMA ROM if you have a CDMA phone.
*Many are going to insist that a custom ROM is your best bet. Since you don't seem to be very familiar with these concepts I really think a stock ROM from your carrier is the best place to start in order to get your phone working again.

What model of the TP2 is it, where did you buy it, and what carrier are you using it on?
EDIT: I'm guessing I already know the answer to the 2nd question

It sounds like you bought a used phone that someone had put a custom rom on. Ive heard people discuss in the NRG Rom thread that some of the roms previous to April 1st would expire on the first of may. This sounds all too similar.
My advice... flash a new rom. Especially if you DID but the phone used. That's like what is going on. Do some reading in the Rom sub forum and you'll see what I'm talking. find the NRG Rom thread and search "expiration" or something.
Hope this helps some!
Hi, It expired on the 1st may so i guess that might be what the problem is. How can i instal i new rom? and where can i get this information. Do you have any links?
Thanks

Thats a big question that you're best just doing some reading on and if you have questions as in those threads.
The thread's you want to read are here ---->Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile ROM Development
Read through those threads that are at the very top with "Sticky" next to them. All the threads below are rom related threads about certain roms availabe to install etc.
so ive been researching and searching for a good week now on custom/cooked rom's and such. and ive finnaly decided to take the leap of trying them.
My phone is an AT&T HTC Tilt 2. And all i want to do is put Co0kie's Home Tab on it. Thats it.
So after hours of researching i finnaly discoverd how to flash my phone.
i used this method ( forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131 )
and now my phone is flashed (or whatever exactly thats suppost to do) and ive checked over this with the tri-color method.
and so i figured now i could just load CHT on my phone and istall it and ide be done, nope thats apparently not how it works.
apparently i need something called Manila Sence 2.5 . So ive searched and searched all over the internet and cant seem to find it, or if i did maby find it, it contains no reall directions on how to install it.
so im really hoping somebody could just show me in the rite direction. ide really appreciate it.
Please if possible provide links. ESPECIALLY to the sence 2.5 program.
ALSO, does anyone know if Sence 2.5 supports landscape? cus ive read a few things saying only 2.1 supports landscape? please if you know anything let me know because im always using my keyboard for texting and such.
THANK YOU VERY MUCH!

Sense 2.5 (aka Manila 2.5) is available in almost every ROM in the ROM Development section. It's basically like TouchFlo3D or Sense 2.1, but it has the quicklinks at the bottom of the Home Tab.
You must flash a ROM that contains Sense 2.5 (you can't just manually install it via cabs).
The recent builds of Sense 2.5 are landscape-supported, albeit not perfect. For example, the Documents Tab isn't perfectly aligned, but the essential Tabs (tabs that are in TF3D and Sense 2.1) are supported in landscape.
