Ok, so I'm trying to figure out what the best way it to upgrade my wife's T-mobile dash to WM6.1 I know that T-mobile has just released a black dash that has WM6.1 on it, but I'm struggling to find any reviews on it. does it really have WM6.1 with the pannel interface? Hte images shown on T-Mobile's site make interface look the same at the one my wife already has.
If the new Black dash does have the pannel interface, can I use that ROM to upgrade here phone without goign through all the extra hoops since they are both T-Mobile phones and the hardware has not changed?
I really aprreciate all the help. Thanks guys.
Sigh......
Use search and you shall find.

There's no official Tmobile USA wm 6.1, the topic has already been discussed, some people in the forum have the black dash and it comes with 6.0 standard .

the new Tmobile dash does have 6.1 but no sliding panels but stores are holding them back till the sell out of those with 6.0 on them. I found this out a couple of days ago.

it just has the original 5 or 6 home screens from 6.0, a new radio and a new outerlook. i really couldn't investigate deeper i was in a rush.
It makes NO sense that HTC would release a 6.1 ROM but without the sliding panels. It's part of the system core. I would be willing to bet it's still 6.0, otherwise we would have a seen a leaked ROM somewhere...

I was just in a T-Mobile store last night. They had a working black Dash. I went into Settings > About and confirmed that it is Windows Mobile 6 Standard. It is NOT 6.1.
I bought one like 3 weeks ago and it does indeed come with 6, not 6.1
I went to Telcel to buy one 6months ago and it dindn´t have 6.1 not even 6, it had wm5!!!
So I can´t see any problem as I came inmediately to this great site and installed a 6.1
Now my exaclibur looks and works perefect!
Tmobile DAAH BLACK ( NUMBER 2 OF THE SERIES)
YES THE PHONE DOES NOT HAVE 6.1 UNTIL T-MOBILE HAS SOLD ALL DASH 1'S THE FIRST VERSION OF THE PHONE BUT IN A COUPLE OF MONTHS A RADIO UPDATE FOR THE #2 BLACK DASH WILL COME OUT AND THE GOOD THING ABOUT THIS IS THAT T-MOBILES VERSION OF 6.1 WILL BE WARRANTIED SO THE PHONE WILL STILL BE COVERED IF YOU PUT THE KAVANNA 6.1 ON YOU AUTO KILL THE WARRANTY SO IF YOU DO GET THE PHONE ( I JUST GOT IT IN THE MAIL TODAY AND I AM IN LOVE WITH IT HAVING BOTH MODELS OF THE OLD DASH I DO LIKE THIS ONE THE CAM AND AUDIO QUALITY ARE BETTER AND IT IS ALL BLACK)JUST BE PATIENT IT WILL HAPPEN

I seem to remember that HTC did NOT list the Excalibur as one of the phones they would be updating to 6.1 way back when 6.1 was released.
T-Mobile Dash with 6.1 (Codenamed "Elvis") was seen working as a cashier in a 7/11 in Whittier, CA. More reports to follow.......
no 6.1 on black dash its just a new face job thats all, ive seen it, but new shadow has 6.1

It was hanging out with the new slide-out keyboard iPhone (Codenamed "JFK")!
I just got mine yesterday and I upgraded online, and the black dash looks very nice and far better than the older version but it is WinMo 6.0 and its not good. I want 6.1!
Yeah, I just got the black dash today. It is definitely 6.0. I upgraded it to Ricky's vanilla ROM right away. I've got it clocked to 240MHz and it's completely stable.

I personally like the Min-n-chip ROM better on my new Green Dash with WM7. Take that!
i just purchased my tp2 it came with 6.1 ...now ive been reading
about differant roms you can install...now im clueless to all this can i get tmobile to install 6.5 on my phone..i keep reading how to do it but it seems so difficult
You can get a cooked rom with 6.5 (or even 6.5.3), but that's if you want to void your warrenty.
If you don't want to void your warrenty, and not in a rush, you can wait till Janauray 6th, supposedly T-mobile is supposed to be released their 6.5 update for the Dash 3G and TP2 on that day.
Let's hope that it's true.
will the update install automatically ...

6.5 is a totally diff ROm and cannot be installed ota. I'm sure they will give step by step instructions as for what to do and where to get it. If the above post is tru then it's only a 2 week wait. no sweat.

Here's where T-Mobile (USA) has offered previous upgrades to previous Windows Mobile phones:
Windows Mobile Upgrade
So seems like it'll appear there....and direct from HTC on their page for the T-Mo TP2.
When I went to purchase my TP2 at a tmobile store in November, they had a displayed TP2 running on 6.5. I asked if mines come with 6.5 and they said no, but they said that I should be able to upgrade it by early December. Now it seems that I will have to wait a couple or perhaps a few more weeks again (if nothing gets delayed). By the time the official 6.5 upgrade is out, I hear that winmobile 7 is already making its way out sometime early in 2010. Knowing that, I no longer want to wait for the official release of 6.5 and would just rather installed an unofficial released instead, but like Rickmasta said, it will void the warranty on the phone and the TP2 is a really pricey phone.

As long as you flash back to stock and then reset the HSPL then your warranty will be fine....
will i have to install the knew 6.5 from the tmobile site ....and what are the pros/cons vs 6.1
You can install a cooked ROM 6.5 that is much better than any official one!
Have a look here to learn how to:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550540
Pros: 6.5 more finger friendly, better UI, newest
Cons: 6.5 much more RAM hungry than 6.1 but with proper tweaking that will not be a prob
Good luck,

Phones by/for Sprint and Verizon networks are CDMA devices -- it's the kind of cell-radio/band/system they use (something like that).
In the USA, T-Mobile and ATT are GSM networks -- this is what your T-Mobile phone works with.

That's interesting. A TP2 with WM6.5 loaded on it, displayed in a T-Mobile store, even before they released the official ROM to the T-Mobile crowd.
I think I may have read somewhere (I don't recall exactly where) that WM7 will be delayed to mid-late 2010. However, knowing XDA, we'll probably see some WM7 ROMs early in the new year.
boy i would love do one of cooked roms ...but i wish there was a video step by step ...because im not that savvy with all the technical jargon...if it had it screen for sreen boy that would help so much ...but for now ill go with the tmobile upgrade

ahem...ahem...*cough* Pictorial on how to flash *cough* ahem...ahem...
In the link, there's a link on installing HardSPL.
Since the majority of the ROMs here are intendend for the WWE Unlocked version of th TP2, you will need some fixes, which you can find here (if you have different carrier-modified TP2, like the T-Mobile or the Tilt2).
boy have given me hope wingster if very helpfull with the install
thanks sumflipnol
Hey with the latest releases of the Verizon & Leaked T-mobile Roms for the Touch Pro 2. Do you think that AT&T will ever release an update for the Tilt 2? Will it be Soon, Later or Never for this device?
HTC almost always releases at least one update per phone per carrier. It's anyone's guess when it might happen and what it will address tho.
Well the Verizon TP2 and TMobile phones were still only (officially) running WM 6.1 so the update just gets them even with the Tilt 2

Um, they already HAVE released an update. http://www.htc.com/us/support/tilt-2-att/downloads/
Also you can flash a cooked ROM, that on my experience always are much faster and less crap than any stock ROM

There is no rom. It is only a patch for the original AT&T Rom. My original question was will AT&T release another official ROM update. I know since they were first off the block with 6.5 and the with all the announcements at CES and the iPhone Problems (3g connection) the TIlt 2 will get no attention! So its left up to the cooks out there to keep us happy.
I just receive my touch pro 2 today and was surprised to see it now ships with a version of sense 2.5.
My phone has Manila version 2.5.20121225.0
And ROM version 2.07.401.1 (80303)
I've not seen this before and haven't seen upgrades available to this version so was a little surprised. I didn't think 2.5 ran very well on devices below the snapdragon processor and especially didn't think these devices would ever ship with it!
Seems to work quite well though, pretty fast for a factory ROM.

What carrier model was it, or is it unbranded? And what channel did you buy it through?
Nice...
I'd like to know the same questions. Who did you get the phone from? what carrier?
the phone came as an unlocked HTC device from a supplier we use at work.
they were actually out of stock for 2 weeks so this is fresh stock from HTC, wonder if there will be an upgrade. would also be interested to see the chefs start from a 2.5 rom thats already designed for a lower spec device!

Nice!! You get a Rhodium for work??
Can we assume that it's a WWE (world-wide english) ROM? I agree that there's going to be a lot of people here who will want to get to tinker with that...do you think you're adept enough to be able to follow instructions on how to extract a copy of your ROM for devs to play with?
Hasn't Official Rhodium 2.5 ROMs been out since late feb?

I just didn't realize those were from a Rhodiumm, and I didn't notice there was a WWE one there already...
I'd still be interested in seeing build number etc, to see if this one matches what's already been seen.

Hi, I dare to ask this question since the threads I can find on this dates back to 2013
So I like to try android on my HTC Touch Pro 2 Rhodium 100 phone with English WM 6.5 (Hard SPL'ed unlocked), but what I rather would like is that the phone ran only android. And a newer version than the ones presented in the 2013 threads, it seems the last one there would be 2.3.7.
Is that possible and do you have some suggestions?
With kind regards

Possible yes, done nope.
What I meant by that is that the latest fully (as much as it can be) working android version for this device is 2.3.7 and the most stable ROM being CM7.
Hardware wise the phone should probably be quite able to run android 4.0 and there is a ROM built but most things are not working so you would need to either learn how to build an android ROM/kernel and fix missing things (which would be a lot of hard work) or find a developer that is willing to do it for you, which would probably be impossible so I'd say just run CM7 or you could sell your device and buy some other ultra cheap device that has a newer android version.

Also dude this phone is really old it obviously would be impossible to run any version of android newer than 4.0 on such low specs and no one made a version of 4.0 that has enough working to be usable as a phone or under any other usage case.
