Ok so I have a 8925. Love it, but don't want all the AT&T on it so I figured I would flash it....well I ran into the problem where none of the flashing software I have found will work with Linux. I am running Ubuntu and cannot get any of the flashers to work. Also I have STILL having a hard time connecting my 8925 to my computer because of the Ubuntu OS.
Any help would be greatly appreciated.
Also is the 8925 info in the Hermes sub-category? or the Herald? I have seen info in both and was a little confused. Sorry if this is the wrong section.
go to Kaiser forum for 8925

Ok so you're new AND you've got better phone than me - I'm incredibly jealous so please go away - here is probably the best place to go to http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=HTC_Kaiser.
Oh yes, welcome to the forum and enjoy
thanks. the only reason I have a better phone is because my mom got it....lol im 22 and in college and needed a new phone (since my 8525 got ran over by a car) so I told my mom she would LOVE this one, the 8925. She bought it and couldnt figure out how the hell to do anything with it so I traded he my older RAZR for the 8925....lol
Thanks and love you mom....lol
You've probably gone to the right forum now, but if by any chance you read this. you should google for flashing from SD card.
this should help you to get round the issues of the flashing software being written for M$ Windows.
all you basicly do is extract the rom/radio image from the executable put it on the root of your SD card with a file name and boot your phone into bootloader mode (IIRC)
no need to use the PC so should resolve your issues.
(wow well done not getting flammed for that post btw... this isn't the friendliest forum in the world!)
BTW also... well done on that phone swap trick... my dad is often good for that kinda fun and games
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

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?

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.

since the day i have installed the rogers rom i have not had major problems with it. everything works fine n i dont do constant restart on my dash. as a matter of fact i restart my dash every other day n it has never locked up.. sorry to hear ur having problems with it.. but to me the rogers rom is really woth the flash from the tmobile stock rom
I am a noob when it come to unlocking the phones and I want to make sure I know what im doing before I try anything. I hace ROM Version 3.04.671.2 which is the latest rom on htc website my radio is 3.37.10. I really want gps to work ( get a consitent lock in under two years iif it locks at all) I'm not to clear on what these IMCoker unlockers and a vogue kitchens are. Where do I go to get the alltel specific info ( it seems everyone has the sprint ones, or does it not matter). I also want windows mobile 6.1. I am not asking anyone to hold my hand although that would be totallly awesome if someone would be my obi wan, but at least someone show me where I can get elaborate alltel specific info. I really want to get into this stuff but i need a starting point. SOMEONE SHOW ME THE LIGHT CAUSE I NEED A TUTOR. thanks in advance
I LOVE MY PHONE, BUT TALKING ON IT IS THE THING I DO THE LEAST......AND STOP COMING INTO MY STORE COMPLAINING I DONT MAKE THE PHONES I JUST SELL THEM.
You need to do a lot of reading before you do anything! There is far to much info to be given as a response. Check PPCGeeks, there is a really great set of instructions on flashing.
Basically,
ImCokeMan's Unlocker v2.31 will unlock your phone, allowing you to make the ROM change, very important step, otherwise you may brick youe phone.
Since you already have the newest ROM/Radio, I'm not sure what you need to do to flash.
To sum it up, make sure you are VERY knowledgable in ROM flashing before you attempt this.
hi guys,
after lots of suffering i finally got a Touch Pro 2 from tmobile, its unlocked and supposed to be international version. the problem is that I dont like the tmobile at all, I dont want it to be used as a tmobile phone, but everytime I try to upgrade it it doesnt work even hard-spl doesnt work too, most of the applications (cabs) dont work at all, I just want it to be like a normal windows mobile 6.5 phone, I dont want it to be a tmobile phone.
Im pretty sure you guys can help somehow.
Take a long a good look at this thread. Everything you need to know about flashing your device is explained there.
