Upgrading without USB?????????

I have my USB not working since few days. Tried all possible solutions shown in the various posts but no result.
One way mentioned in one forum is to upgrade the ROM to solve the probem. But question is how to upgrade when USB is not working????
Please help!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not sure about Universal, but some may be able to upgrade via the SD card.
Can some body help me to upgrade my universal through SD card
I assume that it must be possible to use some form of wireless connection to update the files? The reason i say this is because of the message that you get when downloading the ROM update from tmobile site says something about downloading and running from PC and not direct to ppc? Does activesync work via a bluetooth connection? If so then i guess you could try running the update through that.

rogers s621 rom.. please help.

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

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

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.

Install Sprint Rom on VM Intercept

I am trying to get my vm intercept to work on page plus. First I tried to root it and was unsuccessful. Next I tried to us SWUpdate to flash a sprint rom. It gave me the error unable to open bin file. Also my sd card slot is broken. I really want to flash the sprint rom so I can update the prl. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
I don't think anyone will want to help us. I asked for help with rooting my backup phone, which is an Intercept. Still no response. I hope you get it taken care of!
Yeah, I was getting that feeling when I looked around this part of the forums. Maybe Someone can help me with SWUpgrade(cannot open bin file), I think I could achieve the rest if I could get that to work. This is where I got the sprint rom: http://www.howardforums.com/showthread.php/1691827-Intercept-free-stock-ROMs-and-apps!
