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:
https://your.rogers.com/web_auth/techsupport.asp?brand=28&model=S621R

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

i was about to ask the same question about the config...is there a way i can get OZ back..and also set up my yahoo email and all that..also i have windows vista and it connects to my phone with a sync program on it and when i got the rogers rom i went thru the steps and i noticed it found that my fone was connected so can i use it instead of active sync because it works the same..and also alll i have wm6 from tmo...and i wanted to know if all i have to do is connect the fone and flash the rom to it...

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?

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!!!!

Hi
Try this link
http://forum.xda-developers.com/search.php
or this:
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/
Try this
If you're a noob like myself,
I suggest you used code unlocker because people say it's safe and using flash or other softwares have chances of bricking your phone. Especially when not skilled like you and myself, I wouldn't try unlocking it myself. Also, when you flash it, they say that your phone gets reset, therefore you will lose some data in your phone. If you like to though, I guess you can. Try this link, I just failed to find the 'Hard spl' and I believe this file is used to flash your phone although I'm assuming you don't really know what I'm talking about.
http://forum.gsmhosting.com/vbb/archive/index.php/t-614384.html
If you want to use the code, do this:
Through ebay/kijiji or etc, you can find people where they sell codes and instructions.
I am also considering to unlock my phone so I have done some research and I found this website.
http://www.buyinnet.com/index.asp
or you could try this one too.
http://cgi.ebay.ca/unlock-code-ROGE...14&_trkparms=72:1215|66:2|65:12|39:1|240:1318
I'm pretty sure you can find many other ones tho.
I heard from many people that unlocking with the code is very safe so I suggest you do it this way.
I hope this helped!
I found a program to unlock mine, just run it and it pop'd up saying unlocked, using orange branded phone now unlocked, think I just searched unlocking diamond on google and one of the sites had a program to do it, can't say it hasn't damanged it but since running it can now use my simcard in it
don't know the name of it, spent a good while looking forsomething to do it mind, don't think i still have it either (forgot to backup everything before trying out windows 7!)
Instead of using risky software go here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=3334617&postcount=488
And follow instructions for free unlocking - this will NOT security unlock your phone, only SIM.
And search the net. Solution is there. I don't want to post other links, because they are "politically incorrect".
Good luck.
P.S. EXTREMELY important. If you have GSM phone NEVER EVER use the unlocker from ppcgeeks - it's for CDMA ONLY and will properly brick your phone (requiring change of the mainboard).
i want to root my mytouch 3g 32a and i have tryed everything ang i get no results can anyone help me. thank you river420
Have you read through your specific device forum HERE?
good day.
yes and and i can not get any of the programs to work. i need help i have tried the tmobil fourms and it seems that all the programs are out of date.
Aloha,
I just go this phone and the guy said it would be simple to flash it to a new carrier. I have been all over this forum and I don't even know what to look for or how. He told me to do something with the rom and to get TWRP or something. I honestly don't know where to begin. I can use computers but I don't know much about these phones. I also checked on cyanogen but it seems this phone may not be supported. Can someone help? I just read some posts and saw it would help to know that it is GSM.
