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.

No one has definitively said whether the TP 2 will get a 6.5 upgrade yet. I have heard rumbles that it will get at least one more 6.1 upgrade. I guess you will just have to wait and see.
Until then, as pointed out, you always have " cooked " roms.
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
New to forums but love the advice. On the windows mobile website, it shows that touch pro 2 for tmobile is expecting a release in march. Is that just a typo?

Even though he was referring to a device, the update itself has already been released too.
was it released w/ sense 2.5? VZW is getting theirs tested right now, maybe its a new version w/ sense 2.5
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=641112
It was not released with Sense 2.5. It has 2.1 still. And unless there is a newer update coming, that was the last one that will happen.

that is what I was saying, verizon is now testing a new rom with sense 2.5. the latest vzw rom is sense 2.1
They just released an update 1.5 months ago. Why would they release another? I just don't see it happening. Verizon never released an update.
yea we did....beginning of January I believe.

well they originally quoted october/november for the first update and it came out in march, so it is possible they put out a date they could never obtain again and make us wait on the edge of our seats for it.
I'd like to know where he got this date. I watch 3 different websites religiously, and I haven't seen ANYTHING about this.
sorry bout that, i was refering to the update. I saw the info on microsofts windows mobile page. at the bottom there's a link that says updating your phone. the chart says march 2010 for tmobile touch pro 2. and it says it the chart was last updated jan 28, 2010
Maybe it was referring to this update...

I don't remember the exact date it came out, but it was real close to that date. Also, it says that the dates are subject to change. Not to mention, it doesn't even list the WM6.5 update that was released. So, I would suffice to say that this is out of date info.

Nope. Those are HTC Official roms. This would be T-Mobile specific. Officially, those roms are not compatible with non-HTC branded devices.
I was in a SPRINT store and was talking with one of the tech's about an issue with the Calendar, and he was saying that a friend of his is an official tester for the new Windows Mobile 6.5.5 and it should be released by the end of March. I just hope that he was right. Shortly after he had told me this information, he was fired for telling me and one other person this. My wife wanted and needed to upgrade her phone, so now we both have TP2's. and when Windows Mobile 6.5.5 is released, we will both be upgrading. I will be holding on for the HTC HD3. That is from my perspective, a great phone with great specs.

Wow! That's rather severe!
I hope you tipped him generously.
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?

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.

The last two beta updates I got them on a Tuesday around 6:30pm PST.
Maybe today we could get it
I been looking as well on mines, since it was announced last week... tried again this morning but no update yet.

yep, dont know why everyone stays in just TMO parts of the forums. All roms are compatible with all G955U phones. Well not all. Only the ones that invove AT&T,VERIZON,TMO,AND SPRINT. Once you flash just sitback and watch it switch to your carrier. AT&T part of the forums are good for updates,all you need to know is there on norbarbs threads. Verizon section has jrkruse who is an excellent rom builder. Sprint and Tmo are kind of the boring sections. In the Main screen of the S8+ part of these threads in Android Developement, you have another excellent rom builder, partcyborg. His roms are favored by many aand are excellent for speed. Back to the matter, thank you Kingaries79 for showing them the way. Guys just need to expand there is more going on out there than in this sub-forum.
I just got checked and got the update btw. T-Mobile S8+

It's just luck. It appeared in the Samsung+ app all of a sudden. Was already giving up and then it appeared after a few weeks. But I think the beta testing is anyway over and they will roll out Oreo hopefully end of the month.
