I Need Vario II Help For Tmobile USA Rom/MMS - 8525, TyTN, MDA Vario II, JasJam ROM Development

Although this forum is filled with amazing information, and tons of it, there is so much data that i am confused on what is for me. I am sorry i am new to PDA phones and the xda Forums. If you could please help me, I will be forever in your debt. Thank you for reading.
I live in the USA i am using a Vario II. I have spoke with T-Mobile and we have tried to manually input the MMS settings. After a bit it will send the message, but noone ever receives it. I have sent messages to friends on all different networks to no avail. Everything works great except MMS.
I am using the Faria Rom, i have hard spl installed.
Is there a USA T-mobile win 6.1 Rom that i can download from here??
T-mobile said there may be a cab file on here that could help me???
Is there a rom or a cab that has mms send/receive capabilities????
If you could direct me to the proper posts and/or links that would really help.
feel free to email me. [email protected]

I have this same phone on T-Mobile but I have the ATT 8525. I NEVER EVER use the manual stuff. ALWAYS use the "Network Wizard" which sets up ALL of the MMS, Internet, etc settings. Do this, and you shouldn't have any problems.

here's a discussion thread with cabs: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=395203&highlight=tmobile

With The Faria Rom the network wizard would not work.
Vario II is a great phone in the USA, but you will not be able to go 3g in the usa, because t-mobile uses the 1700 frequency for 3g in the usa, and this phone runs off 1800. None the less, with Wi-Fi, edge, and gprs you still should have a decent connection in the USA.
I have now flashed to Manilla3g Colored. I think its the latest version :s
I also Downloaded the ArcSoft Cab and installed that.
After this I went to "Device Update" in the programs folder.
After the updates i selected were complete..... MMS WORKED!!!!!!!!!!! not to mention all the settings were put in automatically for me.
With the Vario II and the Manilla 3g colored ROM, once updated you use alot of phone memory. The ROM itself gives you less phone memory then other available roms. The rom is also not that stable when playing music with the audio manager. Music does not seem to work while using the internet browser, but works while using google maps. Sometimes the wrapper crashes. overall still a great rom.
A different ROM, one that has less processes running may be better for this phone, but this is the first rom that has given my phone all usa capable abilities.
If anyone has any suggestions for a different rom that still has most of the features of manilla3g let me know please.
Thank you for your helpful replies gehzumteufel and galaxys.

Manilla2d does NOT add features, it just adds a slick interface. I run Josh's M2D rom, and while I love the look and all, this phone doesn't have enough ram. I am possibly going to a diff rom that doesn't have M2D.
I suggest running a "lite" or "vanilla" rom. They usually run the best. Most apps can be added later without consequence. Especially on RBS roms.

Anyone installed Black 3.0.1 on Vario II (T-Mobile)?

I'm currently running Black 2.5 (the T-MOB variant) and everything is fine.
But I'm tempted to upgrade to Black 3.x before I re-install all of my apps on my Vario (the speed improvement sounds good).
Has anyone with a Vario/T-Mobile installed Black 3.x? I see that there isn't (and will never be) a T-Mobile variant. What will I lose with a generic install? How hard is it to customise it for T-Mobile (UK)?
Thanks in anticipation.

Its fairly easy, all you really need are the internet and mms settings, look for a thread with operator settings in the title and find a cab file called t-mobile uk fixed.
Just drop it on to a storage card and run it whenever you do a hard reset or flash a new rom version.
Cant see why you would need the other t-mob customaizations as they mostly suck eggs.
Edit:cab file attached below
Here's the cab
Just drag to your Vario and run it.

Thanks Chris.
Let me get this right. Upgrade to Black 3.x. Copy CAB to device. Run CAB. Voila? This sets everything I need?
I agree most of the T-Mobile extras are crap but I need the settings for Internet/GPRS/MMS/SMS etc.
Cheers.
yes, working fine here, all connection settings set manually.

Yep. I actually have a directory setup on my sd card called rebuilds with the cabs I need to reset my ppc up after flash/hard reset. Generally takes me about half an hour now to set up everything, including restores of pim records

I'm with Orange and my flashing routine now is:
1) flash new rom
2) run pimping changes
3) manually enter gprs and mms settings
4) sync with 4smartphone exchange server
5) run smsproviders cab off Storage card (to sort voicemail)
6) install spb pocket plus and customise today launchers
7) set up two pop mail accounts
8) sign in and configure windows live messenger
Got it down to about 15 minutes now (but it does help that exchange server syncing is so damn quick.)
I tend to install things like Reader that like a soft reset so it takes me a little longer.

Is it as fast as people say? Did you notice a speed improvement when you installed it?
MDA Vario II works with Black 3.01, what about rSAP?
Hi there,
Just as it has already been mentioned earlier (upgrade to 3.01 on T-Mobile MDA Vario II). I took the plunge today and installed version 3.01 straight from WM5. I was initially a bit apprehensive being my first update since I got the phone and I can confirm that it works well. I simply had to add the 3G and MMS settings back or just use the T-Mobile cab to get everything back to normal.
Speed actually seems faster than before. The question I have got now is what happened to the rSAP (Remote Simm Access Profile) as I need to ensure that I can use my phone in my "troublesome" Mercedes CLS. Never was able to pair it with the car so i'll be testing it tonight. I just noticed that the rSAP seems to be missing.
Any help on this will be greatly appreciated.
Vido.
It works a treat, however when i goto use Live Messenger it cannot connect and doesn't present me with a login form like it did with Black 2.0... Is anyone else having trouble with this? I'm using a Vario II, i've tried connecting over 3G, Wireless and through ActiveSync, all with no joy,
The service may be down, mine works without any hitch. Then again, I haven't and never do install any other third party software.

All working ok for me, web'n'walk back working and exchange server sync'd ok. TomTom OK. Calls OK...
Only problem I have is connecting to a WPA2 WLAN.... maybe me.... maybe the Black 3.0 (2.5 worked ok). Need to spend sometime looking this evening.
Justin
TomTom
Justin, I take it you have the app TomTom on your mobile, rather than being a 910 or similar?
I took one of the other WM6 ROMs and the DUN (data transfer) has been removed so I can only use it as a hands free device and not to update traffic over GPRS.

I gave rSAP a try with an earlier black build, and I'm sorry to tell you that it behaved exactly the same as WM5 with the Merc car kit - i.e. just doesn't work (even once you've hacked the stack to make the Hermes look like a phone). If you get anywhere, it would be great to hear, but I'm afraid I think the Merc kit is just toooo limited in what it supports.

Hi Vido.
I hope you read the extensive guides mr Vanx has done on upgrading. If not, consider this a stern warning to do so *now* (link in my sig)
Your post suggests that you did not put on the olipro bootloader which means you are taking a risk flashing any OS rom onto your phone - if something went wrong, you would brick your phone.
For you and anyone else reading this, please read Mr Vanx's guides and save yourself, and everyone else, the headache of trying to recover your phone as this stuff voids your warranty.
Cheers,
Smiffy.
ok guys im on tmobile usa and mms doesnt work at all on any of the new wm6 roms. do you guys suggest that i try the uk settings
Hi, you need to check this thread http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=299023
If USA not on here go to your T-Mobile website and do the settings manualy or get them from tech support...
Then post in the above thread!
Martyn
Hi Smiffy/All,
I actually followed all the instructions regarding upgrading to WM6 by flashing all the instructions in Mr Vangs guideline and used the 1.40.olipro bootloader. I just didn't type in all the details because of space. What I meant was that this is my first attempt at upgrading to WM6 after reading all the instructions in this forum.
Like I said my phone still does not work with the Mercedes Bluetooth UHI which is a pain and one of the reasons why I performed the upgrade. The other thing I have just noticed is that my ohne now finds it difficult to connect to my wifi at home using simple WEP key. I was only able to connect to my wifi at work only once after which it doesn't connect anymore. Has anybody else encountered this problem or is it only me.
Last question, is it possible to have the VOIP (Sip) work with T-Mobile? it shows up as "Service Blocked" and I read it somewhere that this can be tweaked. does anyone have the settings for testing this?
Apart from that the Black edition 3.01 is really cool.
Regards,
Vido.

question: mobile IM for wm6?

hey guys, I've recently upgraded to wm6 and found out that my mobile IM that i downloaded thru mediaNet does not work anymore. it was working fine on wm5 but i do not want to downgrade back to it. does anybody have any idea when it'll be available for wm6? i talked to an ATT rep about it and they do not know, thanks
I suggest you try Agile Mobile. Works great for me.

www.fring.com from your phone - both voice and standard IM on all networks - FREE
was looking for the same thing... tried agile messenger but it really sucks performance out the phone, i'd keep missing calls (newly formatted schaps rom too).
moved to IM+ but problem with that is that i keep getting an error on sign up that some contact is already on my list, and even if i remove it it gives the error. aside from that, its a fantastic app.
haven't tried fring, but will check it out now
Try Slick. It's a good IM program.
Oh yeah, Mundu IM is good too. It's only $11. I use it a lot. It's $8.80 right now at a holiday discount.
I have purchased both Agile and IM+
IM+ is a winner in my book and been using it since then.
Bill
don't all of these apps run by data? i like the standard mobile IM from ATT cause it uses sms. (i have a 1500 text/month plan)
but i got it to work finally.... i was using Shamanix`s Grass v2.2 rom... so i flashed the original ATT wm6 rom and it worked. for some reason i believe shamanix's rom was making the IM app try to log in thru wifi, while the ATT's connects with gprs
anybody know why?
Is there any messenger for ICQ which has a good history? Particularly, I would like to be able to import the history into Miranda on my desktop. It would be perfect if there's already a converter for Miranda but if the program only saves history as plain text files I coul surely write a converter myself...

Its not a problem with the ROM you use.
Go to "Connections"
Select "connections"
Then, "Advanced"
then, "select networks"
1. In option "Programs that automatically connect to the internet should connect using" --- select " My work network"
2. In wireless option, don't forget to set the network cards to option "My network card connects to "The Internet"
Now, your wifi conx will be used for logging in.

CRC 6.1 ROM issue with Telstra WAP site

HI, I am just starting out with the flashing of ROM's on my Telstra JasJam. I actually went to a Imate Ultimate 9502 and put the JasJam back in the box but after that failed and went back to Imate for repair, we all know how "quick" they are at repairs I pulled the JasJam out and went looking for a new 6.1 ROM for the JasJam.
I found CRC's ROM and flashed HardSPL before flashing, got CRC's 13.3 stable normal ROM on and all was going along great.
Issue I am having is when I go to the Telstra WAP site to access my Foxtel subscription I get a different telstra homepage. It is the old blue and white checker page that has icons down both sides. It is not the new homepage that has the icons with "free to browse" and "foxtel" tabs.
I installed the Telstra 5.5 cab and the My Place cab which didn't fix the issue. After a lot of looking around and reading I found the streaming URL for Foxtel and when I try to access it is says that my handset is not compat and to call Telstra.
It reminds me of the time back in WM5.0 when Foxtel first came out and the JasJam did not support it, it took an update to fix it.
So I am leaning towards a radio?? version issue maybe???
Can anybody help?
I PM'd CRC himself and he pointed me here.
Can anyone shed some light, had the same problems?
thanks in advance..........
I'm not sure of your exact issue, but it wouldn't be in the radio.
I'm guessing they might be using a proxy. My provider has a proxy to access their internal pages, and without it enabled it just never shows them. I'm on Cincinnati Bell.
Hopefully this will help you search, or someone using the same network will chime in.
Thanks for the reply.
Yeah Telstra do use a Proxy and you can set it either with their software package or via the network connections. I am doing this as without it you can't even get to the Telstra homepage.
Turn the proxy off and the Telstra homepage times out .....of course!!
But this is where my issue is, with the proxy on the homepage that loads is not the current one even though I am getting the http://wap.telstra.com/wap site via the "Telstra My Place"
Over night I flashed my spare JasJam, I purchased a JasJam off ebay for
"el-cheapo", its been abused but still works OK, and loaded the official WM6 on it. Put my SIM in and got straight to the telstra homepage where I can access the Foxtel website and the "free to browse" tab.
I can only assume that is has something to do with the radio.
Can somebody please explain the radio and how it works. I am struggling with this part as I am unable to find any good info on it.
cheers
The radio just handles the packets of information. It doesn't have anything to do with where the info comes from, or goes to.
Just like a different network card, or, network card firmware won't get you to a new web page.
I'm sure it's something to do with a network setting or proxy setting.
Hopefully someone on Telstra can chime in.
OK, so how do I understand 2 JasJam's with exactly the same settings via Proxy and network setup go to 2 different web pages?
I put WM6 on one and then insert my SIM, I get to the correct page when you browse the http://wap.telstra.com/wap and then I put CRC's ROM onto the other with WM6.1 and insert my SIM and then get to the incorrect site.
So I thought, as a wild guess, its the phone. So I did the opposite with flashing. I flashed the JasJam that had WM6 and was getting to the correct site with CRC's ROM and as I suspected I could not get to the correct site.
The error message tells me my phone is not compat with the service. I put the WM6 ROM onto the JasJam that could not get to the telstra WAP homepage and yep, it worked flawlessly.
It must be something to do with CRC's ROM, is there anyone else out there, PLEASE, that is on the NextG network and using CRC's 13.3 normal ROM and can get to the telstra WAP homepage that allows you access to Foxtel and the "free to browse" tabbed content???
Or anyone using one of CRC's ROM's, any version of WM6.1 that is working as it should?
Can anyone suggest a WM6.1 ROM that will work with Telstra Foxtel service?
Any help would be appreciated?
I know it all works on WM6.1 as I have, in the repair shop, a Ultimate 9502 that has no problems browsing the WAP site.
thanks again.........
Ahh, It might be something with the way the browser is reporting itself. That, I'm not sure how to fix. Might be able to use schaps advanced config to see what each of them are reporting, and try to make it match.
yeah I am unsure about that one. I installed Opera as well and get the same page.
This is definitely one for CRCinAU himself. I did PM him but he said to go to the forum. So far that hasn't been much help.
I searched for the other ROM you mentioned, schapp? I am not having much luck.
can you point me in the right direction for that, I'll give it a go and see what the differences are.
thanks for your replies. Seems that there are not many local users of the CRC 13.3 ROM on the Telstra network, or they don't use this feature and are unawares of it.
I ask again, if anybody can help with this one I would really appreciate it.
Can anyone tell me if they know of a WM6.1 ROM that is fully working on the Telstra NExtG network and able to use all the features provided by the "MyPlace" and WAP sites?
I cannot even look at any of the features on the WAP site, when you click on the icons to go to say, ringtones or movie info I get a web page error saying my hanset is not compatable. Very frustrating for such a lean, fast and app packed ROM!!!
cheers
Here is his xda dev post about it http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=418151 but the download link seems to be broken or is down at the moment.
Here is my copy of advanced config http://www.filedropper.com/advancedconfigurationtoolv33
all kinds of settings in there, also, you should be able to load advanced config from crc's device update(should come in crc's rom).
I think you will find your answer Here you need to change registry setting for compatibilty issue
Regards
Thanks that fixed it. Exactly the issue.
Its funny I looked at that string before and tried a few different options but nothing changed. Knowing the exact string did it!!
Thanks to everyone who replied and thanks to CRCinAU for a very nice ROM, which is now working as I want it to.
cheers

Cannot connect with any browser, even though I have acces to th internet

(At&t's HTC Tilt 2 Unlocked, original ROM, win 6.5
)Guys, this is driving me nuts.
When I connect to the internet, via EDGE, both my browsers can't download data at all.
It's really weird.
I can send email on all of my accounts, use my facebook app, etc. It's just the browsers (IE and Opera) that are dead.
I have soft and hard reseted my device, and nothing changes.
When I'm WiFi, everything works Ok.
Any known issues about this?
Thanks,
Dan from Costa Rica
(as soon as I solve this, I'm planning on starting some serious mod of the phone... coming from an old HTC P4350, it's a huge step fwd).
perhaps, you have disabled the "proxy" - try enabling it.
My connection doesn't require a proxy... it's really weird, it was working OK a couple of days ago.
Shot it the dark, but look at Start -> Settings -> Connections -> Connections
Look at the Advanced tab and click on "Select Networks"
Make sure both drop-downs are set to use the correct connection. Not sure what it'll be called on yours, but on mine (T-Mobile) they are both set to "T-Mobile Data"
Also make sure your Wifi isn't on, but not connected to a network, when trying to browse. I find that if my wifi is on, but not connected, all browsers still try to use the wifi and fail.
Good luck,
notaliberal,
Thanks for the tip.
For some reason I had one of them set differently, BUT it's still dead.
Again, I'm pretty sure it's no the phone, since my emails work efforrlessly.
I'm pretty sure something happened with the config.
Damn, it's driving me crazy.
guys, Ok, this is driving me nuts.
I have discovered a couple of details that I think are important.
I have managed to make the BROWSERS work... but it's no a definite solution.
When I turn on the DATA CONNECTION, I was able to check emails, and use Facebook App with no problems at all.... but no browsers worked.
I found out that if i turn on my WiFi, but DO NOT connect to any network, now the browsers work perfectly. This gives me like 10-30 minutes of my browsers to work, but after that time I loose acces to data again.
I have to turn on the Wifi, and turn it off, to gain access again.
It's so confusing and weird, because I haven't read anything like this in the whole forum.
It seem that it's not a hardware thing, but a firmware or software issue... or am I missing something here?
Maybe this will help:
At&T Tilt 2 Original ROM
When turned on:
B 80
R 4.48.25.20
G 61.39tc.25.30h
D 1.59.67150
I had a similar problem and it turned out the carrier had put a bar on my internet usage, from long ago without my consent... Funny thing was, I could access the weather, update time and emails with no problem from my old Hermes but once I got the rhodium I couldn't.
Might be your carrier doing funny things....
Ultramag, and by any chance do you know what should I do to solve this? or what did you do?
The problem is that I don't know anyone with another Tilt2 to check if it's the phone or what.
Tonight I'll be checking with my old HTC P4350 to see if I have any trouble conneting.
Thanks.
Neu
Are you using a Tilt2 with stock AT&T Rom on a non-AT&T network? If so, maybe the best solution would be to install a custom rom. The old AT&T network connections might be getting in the way of your carrier settings. If you don't want to flash a custom ROM, go to settings, Connections, Advanced (tab), Select Network, and check that the programs are being directed to your carrier's connection. Also check on your browsers that they are set to connect to Internet, and not Work Network or anything else.
Jose, yes, I'm using AT&T ROM on a non AT&T network.
I did as you said, on the Advance tab set BOTH to connect to my carriers settings, and I still have the same problem.
I trid to do the second thing yu asked me to do, but I don't know where to find those settings on my browsers (IE and Opera).
If I have to install a costum ROM, I'd like to try first a ROM that's really basic... maybe an official HTC 6.5, to start. Any one like this that you could recommend?
Had to contact the carrier. Got stuffed around a lot. Luckily for me I knew someone who worked in a store, they got in contact with the faults department and 3 weeks later it got fixed.... Was a major pain in the arse though...
I just saw on the HTC page, that there is a ROM that is newer than the version I'm using.
Mine is from 09/25/2009 according to the Device Info, and HTC has a version from 02/05/2010
It's REALLY driving me nuts, so I hope this thing solves the issue.

A guy from India posted about a month or so with a similar problem, he had an unlocked T-mobile programed it with his carrier settings yet the browsers were not working, had to install a custom rom to solve it. I think some registry keys have the browsers going through different network settings. Have you tried using Skyfire, or Opera 10? Maybe a browser that didn't come with the phone will work.
Regarding custom roms, I've only used Energy's since I flashed my Tilt2, and they've worked great for me. If you want a clean rom, I've heard Da_G has one, and he's pretty well respected here. Just in case you're not aware, before installing a custom rom you have to install HardSPL and do some reading. Check the sticky threads in the roms sections. And Tilt2 phones need a CAB before they can be HardSPLed, check this page http://tilt2.blownfuze.org/.
Guys, I just updated my ROM wit the AT&T one, and the problem is still there.
I guess I'll have to install a costum ROM.
I'll follow the instructions from here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
But they never mention any CAB before the HardSPL? :?
-*-*-*-*-
Last dumb question:
Since I'll be testing new ROMS, once I HardSPL the phone and try a new ROM, i f I don't like it, I just have to flash a new ROM on top of the old one right? no more HardSPL? (aka HardSPL must only be done once?)
My main concern is that at first, I want a ROM as close to the original, but without all the AT&T crap.
Obviously, now I want something that solves this stupid problem with my browser, and now that someone in India had the same issue, I now it's not a matter of hardware.
Thanks.
Neu from Costa Rica
PS: Myphonw came both with Opera and IE. Actually Opera gives me much more trouble that IE with this issue. Unfortunately, now Skyfire only works on certain countries, and Costa Rica is definitely NOT one of them
It's not hardware or a ROM issue. Most likely that it'll be fine with a custom ROM, but I only use official At&t ROMs.
I had the same issue, as I don't use At&t as my network, and I fixed it. My IE and Opera, and other built-in phone services work fine.

PS: Myphonw came both with Opera and IE. Actually Opera gives me much more trouble that IE with this issue. Unfortunately, now Skyfire only works on certain countries, and Costa Rica is definitely NOT one of them

The CAB before HardSPL is mentioned here: http://tilt2.blownfuze.org/
Some people have posted on Energy's thread saying they can't use HardSPL with a Tilt2, and they were told that a Cab is needed, I assume the one posted on that website. HardSPL is only needed once, after using it you can flash and reflash TP2 roms and radios as long as they are for GSM phones.
Using Task29 is recommended before flashing roms, some people claim that flashing a new rom might not clean everything from the previous one, which causes glitches. For safety purposes I've start doing that, but I've never had any trouble when Task29 was not available.
Regarding a rom close to AT&T stock, I can't help you with that, you'll have to look at the different ones available. Since AT&T just came with a new version it's likely that many chefs will use it as base, but how far they modify it will depend on each one.

It's not hardware or a ROM issue. Most likely that it'll be fine with a custom ROM, but I only use official At&t ROMs.
I had the same issue, as I don't use At&t as my network, and I fixed it. My IE and Opera, and other built-in phone services work fine.

Graham, the question is HOW to fox it without a custom ROM.
I finally figured it out.
It seems that it's a PROXY issue.
Looking more into xda forums, I found out that there is a small program under START>Tools> Proxy Manager where you can Disable Proxy Settings.
Unfortunately, that ONLY fixes Internet Explorer.
Reading some more, you can fix Opera by entering on the address bar "opera:config" (without the ") in the proxy settings, remove the HTTP proxy and HTTPS proxy (leave blank).
The only problem is that this settings are removed in Opera with a soft reset.
the only way to change Opera settings permanently is to edit \Windows\Opera\opera.ini and set the Use HTTP and Use HTTPS proxy settings to 0, then soft reset.
Thanks to user Moltenfire (original post http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=5120862&postcount=3)
Thanks for all the help guys... Thanks to you, now, after all this, I'm decided to give the Simplicity ROM a try
-*-*-*-*-*-
Edit: It seem that after Opera 9, which is the one that came with my Tilt2, the settigs changed through opera:config STAY even though you reset your device.
I realized this because I didn't install Total Commander yet, did quite a lot of reseting, and Opera is working perfectly... so is IE!
PS: Just in case, in Opera9 the settings are called "HTTP server=" and "HTTPS server=" and must be left BLANK... in case you need to edit the opera.ini

Touch Pro 2 custom Roms/Speed increase

Hey all, my girlfriend got a US Cellular Touch Pro 2, and I got it to run on AT&T, and its ran pretty good for a few months, but now she's getting upset because its being slow and last night it wasn't showing call logs/sms past September 2nd, even though she's received many since than, and when I tried calling her, it showed up as "Unknown" even though i'm in her phone book, the date was also wrong, showing it sometime in July. So its becoming frustrating for her. My question is, is there a custom ROM (I'm an Android guy and have a few Roms on my Incredible) that I can put on her phone that will speed the phone up and make it more usable, and still keep the GSM functionality? Is there any way to do this? If not what are some speed tips and other tips to make the phone more usable? Thanks!
Id hard reset, task 29 then flash the rom of your choice. Theres a whole host of em over at ppcgeeks for cdma users. Adjust your settings (internet, mms etc) and grab any cabs you'll need or want (att keyboard fix or any att specific programs youll want to run) then yous hould be good to go.
So do I need to find a CDMA ROM that supports a SIM Card? Or find a GSM ROM? I was thinking Mighty Rom looked pretty good, but I have no idea on what to do to go about setting it up for her. I remember paying $20 to get a SIM Unlock, CID Unlock and Security Unlock tool, and then I did some ROM flash of a custom Sprint ROM to get AT&T to work on it.
Yes you are going to need a cdma rom if the phone is cdma regardless of At&t being the current service provider. Otherwise you will brick the phone. I have a sprint touch pro2 running At&t with no problems using nrg rom over at ppcgeeks.

I would recommend the cookie rom version since that is the one that I use all the time. I've tried all the other but I keep coming back. But there's a nice variety so the choice is really yours/hers.
I would also recommend to task 29 and since you too have your phone unlocked to at&t (sim unlock) use the same unlocker radio in the task 29 so you get a clean and working radio/rom. Have her backup her texts, contacts, calendar etc using pim manager or microsoft myphone or active sync if she chooses so.
If you run into any problems you can post here, pm me, or even drop by in the nrg forum on ppcgeeks where there are many others willing to help first timers.
Best wishes man
Edit: Quick tip. It really does help to clear out text messages and email every once in awhile. This is known to cause instability. (degraded speed, errors...) If you don't feel like flashing a new rom you could just hard reset the phone which may fix whatever issues. Just know it will delete everything and those problems may still be on the device. It really is best just to task 29 and try a new rom especially since almost anything is better than the stock sprint one.
Why to change ROM? It seems that only the TP2 has to be cleaned up, as you should do time by time.
The easiest way to do this is using SK Tools. There are all the possibilities to clean a PPC in there with just a finger touch: Beginning with cleaning temp-folders up to cleaning the registry. I do this about once a month and have no problems like describben.
