Help Upgrading Sprint TP2 to 6.5 - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hi guys. I recently bought a Touch Pro 2 from Sprint after an awesome discount let me finally ditch my Treo 755p.
I've glanced around some of the forums, including this one, and understand that Sprint PCS hasn't released a Windows 6.5 update, that you guys have long figured out how to install one anyway, and that it's vastly superior...
I want this! But I'm clueless and was wondering if there was a step-by-step direction/page for doing whatever I need to do to my device?
I am running a Mac and love my Mac... but I have Parallels VM and can use Windows 7 for whatever might be needed (I presume?).
Thank you in advance for your help. I'm greatly interested in updating this phone and don't understand why Sprint is so behind on things.

Verizon XV 6800

Hello all,
I am a newbie here and with installing new os on my phone as well. I have the verizon xv 6800 with win 6.1 and was wanting to upgrade to 6.5.1. First off, is it a worthwhile upgrade, or should I be looking at something different? If so where do I get it and how do I install on my phone? Any other recommendations would be helpful as far as what else to load on the phone. Basically I just want to get a more up to date os on my device for a better experience.
I have a lot to learn about this stuff and this seems like the site to do so.
Thanks a lot in advance,
Dale

Need help with first Sprint TP2 Flashing.

Hello. I've been searching this site, smart phone junkies, google and under my bed, and I for the life of me cannot find a comprehensive Sprint HTC Touch Pro 2 flashing to a windows 6.5 rom.
As of right now, my device has the stock windows 6.1
I'm sort of new to this whole scene, and am LOVING my new smartphone, and am ready to delve deeper into it, customization and such.
I dislike the plain feel of the today screen for stock windows 6.1 and thus why im searching to upgrade to 6.5 since I do not want to wait for sprint to come out with theirs.
I apologize if i'm just ignorant, but like I said, I could not find a comprehensive walkthrough for newbs on how to get a windows 6.5 rom for a Sprint HTC touch pro 2. Could someone point me in the right direction? I know the risks, but that's why I want a walkthrough, so I can follow step by step on how to do it properly and safely, and how to revert back to the stock 6.1 if need be.
thank you in advance.
Tony
i"m with you on that!! I just got my TP2 2 days ago and decided not to set up anything until I have 6.5 on it. someone please help!!
THIS thread gives the instructions you need.
For CDMA (Sprint/Verizon), note that the instructions are a bit different at the beginning, and you'll have to make sure you choose ROM's that are suitable for your model/carrier
Thank you!! im nervous to upgrade to winmo 6.5 for sprint, but i know it'll be better so wish me luck! =)

Thanks. i hit google last night and didnt go to bed till i found the info i needed. and i came across all of those pages except for the android one.
by the way. are you using a rom? if you are which one are you using and is there another that you recoomend me to use?
Thank you. Hope your next few days are filled with joy. God Bless.
Well generally what say is what most will say, after you have used the Hard sPL unlocker, i would recommend a simple Rom that has been stripped of all the bloat ware, to get a feel for the speed and responsiveness , then after you get bored with it, then try the other Roms that the fine chef have cooked.
Here is what i have been using, its simple and fast

Kwbr is getting ready to update the Rom shortly with a newer version.
thanks i was getting stuff ready for when i my parents got me my phone this chirstmas. turns out the got me a unlocked HD2. so im guessing it works the same, since they both run windows 6.5 right?
I would head over to the HD forum and start reading, some may be the same but there will be differences ...i would still set up both phones with stock stripped Roms and compare them both...i still favor the Tilt 2 Pro... because of the keyboard

Read this thread then decide....tilt 2 has 3g the HD2 uses edge..

Newb with newb question

I've searched around and could only find a way to dual boot a win 7 phone with Android and Ubuntu. Can I do that with a HTC Aria from AT&T with Android installed first? Any other cool hack and tips appreciated. I am technical and can do everything with an iPhone so since I got this for a penny refurbed on a second line I wanted to play with it. If I should return it for something more "hackable" let me know. Thanks in advance and no need to flame I really did search for awhile but nothing was definitive that I found.
