HELP!! Deleting Sprint Software - Touch Pro2, Tilt 2 Windows Mobile General

Hi,
I've got a TP2 on 6.1 and i cant upgrade to 6.5 yet!!
I bought the phone from the USA however, I am based in the UK.
Its on a American phone network called Sprint... none of sprint software/malware!! works for me in the UK. so I need to get rid of; Sprint TV, GPS, Music all off my phone!!!
I have downloaded Google Maps and went to use the WM for songs on the phone already.
So the help I need from u lot, the collective of PPC-Genius' is...
How do I get rid of this software without Cooking (making a WHOLE NEW ROM) for my phone. All i want to do is get rid of them.
If this can be done, can you give a simple step by step guide. i have already tried a hard reset, and once it loaded up again SPRINT WAS STILL THERE!! and there was no prompt for a soft reset during this whole process.
Please help, if you think you know how to.

I guess this all is cooked in so if it isn't in Settings -> System -> Remove programs, then you can just only HSPL your phone and flash some ROM on it.
Or you can simply delete it from Start menu by going to \Windows\Start Menu\Programs and delete the stuff you don't want to show .

not good...
It looks like it is COOKED IN... but i cant remove it on "remove programs" and if i know its still there it aint gonna change anything but worsen my ppc's performance.
another thing is.. this software is on the TF3D menu as well...
so How do i un-cook it then? i don't really want to have to cook up a new one.. but if i do can i find tutorials on here/youtube?

Following those steps is essentially doing the same thing an uninstaller would do for you.

XDA 2s questions

Ok just got a XDA 2s(XDA 3 to some people)
its unlocked etc
but i want to know if its possible to install or flash summit to get rid of all the o2 branding on this PDA/phone
also anyone know if tom tom bluetooth works fine on these
You can uninstall the O2 active stuff from remove programs..
TomTom BT works perfectly on mine.
Hope this helps
Richard
you unlocked it or it is unlcoked already?
had it unlcoked for free from O2
how can i remove o2 from programs when it says it is running and im unable to stop it?
would this remove all the start up etc too?
basically becuase im running orange and it still has o2 stuff all over it
1. Boot screens are changeable
2. Using Settings\System\Memory to remove o2 Active will work if it
says still in use Click END TASK then soft Reset your Device
3. Get a theme Generator to make some lovely new themes up
You may not like this.
Hard reset the XDA, go throught the calibration and stuff. Then when you are told config complete, and the next screen says custom config will start in 3 seconds, soft reset the device before the three seconds are up.
One non O2 XDA. You will need to unlock the ext rom, and runa few files from there to get mms and other bits working.

Some help please

hey ppl.
I need some help i have an Xdaiis and have tryed all the wm5 roms and at this point have gone back to 2003. but lost all the defualt software.
a friend has the same device. he got it 2 weeks after i got mine.
but has never messed around with the roms.
so here is my question, i have done a search but cant seen to get the right info back.
but what i am after is how can i get a copy of his rom of his device and install it on mine with all the apps and software installed as well?
i think i remember an sd card proggy to do it, but wasnt shore (and couldnt find the thread again) if it did what i was after it for.
Depending on your operator
Download the appropriate ROM File here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Shipped_Complete_Updates
Or if you just wan the EXT ROM go here:
ftp://xda:[email protected]/BlueAngel/Extended_Roms
yeah thanx i have tryed to do it that way but i cant seem to get the same apps that i started of with.
and to lazy to reinstall all every thing and then unistall what i dont want........
biut then again if its the only way to do it.
you can always edit out the file you dont want installed in the Config.txt

daxian x999 rom update

Hi All,
first of all... if this question is being asked at the wrong place.. please let me know ;-)
Well.. i have a question.. I have a daxian x999 and want to upgrade the OS.. The OS on this device isn't fast and can be quite unstable sometimes..
anyone can tell me how i can upgrade this device?? I'm a complete newbie on this one.. so any help would be appreciated..
thanks!!!
no one has a clue??
Rom
hi there!
the problem with the daxian x999 is, that until now no one managed to extract the bootloader!
i tried almost every software i found here... no success!
i was able to extract the rom, but that doesn´t help too much
and another thing that is very sad, is that no one from the "knowing Guys" here is interested in helping us!!!
there was just one senior member trying to help me... (thanx again the_eqionoxe!!!)
i expected some more help from a forum with that much experience...
regards
chuckbert
You say you were able to extract the rom, please share how you did this ....

Sorry i found it in the very next search
As far as I know it should be presented in the form of a imgfs file (can be cooked by any kitchen). (*but I am not 100 % shure, I don't have a daxian to experiment with)
But I am unaware about the XIP format .
If we had a look @ a original update.img then we could say how it was compiled, and hopefully port other rom's to it.
any have yep put 6.1 on this phone?
I have a daxian x999 but its in chinese & if i cant get it exchanged will want to change the windows rom to an english one - cant find the english rom though (& need to learn how to do it too lol)
I used SPB backup to restore my data, and stopped it midway, now my power button does not turn on the screen. So I have to wait for a phone call to come in for the screen to come on.
Anyone know if I use an editor for registery if there is a place to turn this back on.
Thanks, if not, then I will start to research how to get deeper into the phone, as it is useless to me know.

Have u tried a soft reset?????? or maybe a "master clean up" as it is called on the phone???
also if someone here is going deep into the phone, can some1 figure out how to 'manage' the accelerometer for the current application/settings of it seem pretty dull... i don't know if it helps, but the process which rotates the screen is called acc_ap and you can find it in the start up folder
Yes, I tried the soft reset, memory clear, and hard 3-button reset, no joy.
nobody tried with pdocwrite as MUN_rus has done with HTC wizard G4??
WARNING This device needs OTHER drivers than a HTC ELF(in), so make sure you cook a ROM with the proper drivers!!.
You can probably dump the rom by the reverse command pdocread..
Haven't tried it myself, as I have stated before, I have no daxian 999 to experiment with myself..

The only way you would be able to upgrade to WinMO 6.5 would be to flash the phone just like when you flash a custom ROM now
WinMO 6.5 is not an installable app/upgrade like upgrading an application on your phone its the operating system itself
Right now and there are very few ROMS out there for WinMO 6.5 and none for the Vogue at all (Im assuming you have a Vogue as this is where you posted) soon there will be one as there are people working on it currently but what is there is EXTREMELY buggy and almost non-functional for the fact its on a phone and a phone should be able to be used after all LOL
Keep with the Custom ROMS for now and wait, the desire for it has been spoken and the Chefs are a cookin LOL

NFSFan has confirmed that those WM 6.5 ROMS are FAKE. Even if they were real, there would be no point of using them...
The builds are fake indeed. However they do contain a few components of 6.5. None which are worth upgrading for.

Really? What components do they have? Anything from a new today screen or Internet Explorer (like rumored)?
Kinetic scroll (give up TouchFLO and Manila2D), new IE build that supports kinetic scroll. The today screens being posted are fake. They are actually from a smartphone, called HTC Juno. Some asian dude took it out of the Juno, resized the images, and re-arranged the tabs to make it look like the new today screen.
flashing on Vouge
I know this may sound tedious but i have no idea on how to flash any ROM onto my Vouge. Can someone please help. I would love to try out several ROMs and see which one would work best for me.
Thanks in advance
Hey, here is one really good one
Detroit_Doug said:
Basically here are the steps
Download the 2.31 unlocker
Download the ROM you want to use (my personal preference is this one for a TF2D style or this one for a WinMO 6.5 style interface that has TF2D included to switch back and for - both very stable, fast and clean and the thread is very active for help (especially if your on Verizon or Bell which can have issues)
from there, use WinRAR to extract each file into separate folders
then Put your phone in bootloader mode (press and hold power+camera+stylus in reset until 3-color screen comes up)
At this point at the bottom of the screen it will say Serial, plug it into the USB cable or cradle and it should change to USB
Start the exe in the 2.31 and follow the directions (you may get some errors about sleep4.exe just click on OK as it keeps occuring its a XP/Windows7 64 bit issue if that is what your using)
At the point where it tell you to disconect, unplug the phone from the USB cable and wait (count to 10 or something) then plug it back in, it should have went from USB to SERIAL and now back to USB at that point go ahead and hit any key on your PC and it should continue along
once complete, reboot, allow it to do its thing then reboot and go back into bootloader again during reboot you should see coke 2.31 in the upper left if so your ready to go
plug it into your USB/Cradle again and then go into the ROM folder you extracted the ROM into
Once the screen on your phone says USB again go to the folder and double click on the RomUpdateUtility.exe file and follow the directions again, it may take some time so be paitent
once the phone flashes and reboots, let it run and do its thing to the and reboot itself then (and here is an important step for stability) once it starts up do a hard reset (red+green+stylus in reset hole) hit the enter button (center of D-Pad) it will reflash the phone and then red key (send) when prompted
then go thought the setup again, this time you can actually set things up as your keeping them this time and once things are done and your at the start screen on your phone power off (not reset) the phone and then start it up again - seems doing it this way takes care of alot of little issues that will come up before they can happen
Depending on your carrier be sure to have one of the DCD Carrier Cabs as well especially for the 6.5 ROM as it is a generic ROM and some have reported needing to run the DCD Carrier Cab for the service they use to get on the internet and use GPS and the like

Everything is working smoothly and better than I thought it would have (i flashed the 6.5 ROM). Thanks to you Detroit Doug or I don't think I would have been able to do it without your instructions. I however do have one more question....i'm having issues syncing the device with my PC now. Any idea on what that could be???
re: Thanks
I've done several resets but to no avail am i able to connect via active sync???
OK maybe i lied about everything working properly and wonderful....so on top of not being able to connect to my PC via activesync I also am not able to connect to the internet on my device, i've downloaded and installed the NFSFAN Sprint GPS Registry but still its a no go... Did i do something wrong completely????? still
I fixed the internet problem!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
....somehow magically i'm now able to connect via activesync. I guess the device just needed time to adjust. Thanks for the help, and i do apologize for the numerous newbie questions.

The best is NFSFAN's Windows Mobile 6.5 ROM. You can find it on another thread in this forum right here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=432487
Don’t even bother with anything else. I am running this. It is fast, stable and very close to the stock WM 6.5 (I have downloaded the device emulator image from Microsoft’s website for software development purposes). The extras that are in there are useful.

OK, as I have a Sprint Touch as well... Here goes...
First go HERE and READ the hell outta it until you have it step by step (BTW use the 2.31 unlocker regardless about the GPS thing)
OK, now that youve read that (happy dance time)
Download the 2.31 Unlocker and a WinMO 6.5 ROM personally I suggest this ONE as it is one I use
And make sure to download the DCD Sprint Carrier cab and copy it to your SD card as you may need this after the flashing is done (will get back to this tasty morsel later)
OK, now you have an Unlocker and a ROM - now what, hmmmm
Use WinRAR and extract both the files into separate folders
Press and hold the Power button+Camera Button and Stylus in the reset hole until the 3 color screen comes up and it says serial, now plug in your cable and it should change to USB
can you taste the rainbow and it is over the land of USB?? great, now go into the Unlocker folder you created and doubleclick on the RomUpdateUtility.exe (going to be called RUU.exe from this point on)
Follow the steps on the desktop monitor (you might get some errors about sleep4.exe - dont worry about it, just keep hitting enter and it will go away after the 4th or so time
At some point the program is going to tell you to disconnect the phone, sounds scarey doesnt it, losing the connection and all - dont be, be a brave little soldier and disconnect it and count to 10, cant do that, get some help in getting there, its really that important LOL once you (or your friend) gets to 10 plug it back in, does it say USB again? good!! happy dance AFTER you hit a key on the keyboard per the on screen directions
its going to eventually reboot, let it and it will be unlocked, let it start up and do its thing, when its done - go ahead and go back into bootloader mode again (remember power+camera+stylus twister move you did earlier, its back to that again) with the cable disconnected and it had better say SERIAL again.. now go ahead and plug in the cable and it should change to USB
Now go into the ROM folder and double click the RUU.exe here ... and follow the directions that come up on the screen...
Once its done and the phone reboots, wait... wait some more.. still keep waiting.. no not yet ... stop touching it.. it wont help pacing.. just be patient... oh look an Orange screen, ok here comes some fun
Follow the drections to go through the setup, dont worry about it being to accurate and all as it is about to be erased anyway... let the autorun happen once windows starts and it will reboot on its own again - yes it really IS a smartphone isnt it LOL
OK, as it is booting up again when there is a black screen - press and hold the red button+green button+stylus in reset hole (known as a Hard reset) until the screen turns gray - follow the directions again (save you some time "press the Enter key" thats the big silver button in the center of the buttons LOL) and when the progress bar moves all the way to the right, press the end key (the green one)
Again, it will restart (told you it was smart) and now go ahead and do the setup and customizations and do them right this time as your hanging onto them this time (sounds weird but if you dont hard reset after flashing it flying monkeys will swoop in and take your phone and your little dog toto too)
OK, now remember that DCD Sprint Carrier Cab, you do, fantastic .. so to the storage card where you copied it to - you didnt forget that step did you??? good I knew my faith in you would pay off, tap on it and run it - it will install all the Sprint goodies to make your life easy, and your sex life better and even improve that certain area of a .. wait sorry wrong channel again.... just go ahead and tap it, run it and reboot
now you have a Sprint 6.5 Custom ROM
Enjoy

dude f****** grt lol wow thats a tutorial and a half ty ima try it now
Detroit_Doug,
In NFS Fan's v 6.5 ROM, which GPS registry cab should I use for MetroPCS?
Also, is it true that MMS is not supported on this ROM version?
Will this update my radio to the latest version (Radio version 3.42.30) so that GPS is enabled? I was having GPS issues on the latest Sprint stock ROM after flashing to Metro.
awesome, thank you! heheh, flying monkeys.

Yes MMS IS supported on the ROM, but per some steps and depending on your Provider, well that can be the tricky part as they can be a PITA at times
As far as MetroPCS - I really dont know, I personally go to the thread of MFSFANs ROM and do a search through it for MetroPCS (there are a few of you trying to take over the world - I aint skeered though) but there is some info there, I just cant remember every carrier and every issues for every phone - I have my own plans on taking over the world as well you know (are ya skeered???) come on pinky, time to put my plan into action
Detroit Doug
EDIT: Here is the link for MetroPCS - its for the Titan, but ask the person that started the thread - the cab shouldnt matter as it is provisioning data and the like - again ask the posted on the thread, I dont know anything about it - simple search found this as well
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=3609082#post3609082
could you find the one for USCC & what does the cab do?

If your referring to "what does a carrier cab do" it installs various settings and progs and provisioning data to help you connect to your network for phone, data, internet, GPS, aGPS, etc
As far as finding it - search can be your friend - I dont even know if there is one for USCC or MetroPCS - find whatever carrier is similar/compatible and use it
Detroit Doug
EDIT - amazing a search for USCC Carrier CAB found lots of posts - 5th post through and the preview gave the link you need directly
