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

History - my phone is already unlocked as I had unlock kings do it. I tested it and I can put any sim it and it works fine.
Problem - every time I try and install a new rom on it I get one the follwing errors or issues: My usb connection stop when the install starts and the process times out, or I get a host of errors messeges from invild device to wrong version.
I need very simple instructions on what I need to do upgrade my os and then later migrate to some of the really roms I have seen on this site.

Did you hardSPL? If not go here: HardSPL

When you read those 11 steps in the HSPL thread, where is it, where you say: nothing happends?
As it stands, you will only be able to install an official T-Mobile ROM if it is a T-Mobile-branded phone.
So installing HardSPL will let you flash whatever ROM you want, any of the official ones (including, say, HTC official 6.5), or one of the fine cooked ones from this forum.
If you are having trouble with HardSPL, you really need to post on that in the HardSPL sticky.
no matter what I do, the connection always times out. It seems my phone will not allow anything rom software to be installed. Where can I find enableapnew.cab? The rom software told me i needed that.
@bigdaddy67
This sounds like a USB issue, try this:
1. Power off your TP2
2. Press and HOLD the volume down button, press and HOLD power button until you see the multi-coloured screen (bootloader mode)
3. Connect your TP2 to your computer via USB
4. You should now see the letters USB at the bottom of the TP2 screen
5. If you DO, run hardSPL
If you DON'T, try a different USB cable and/or port on your computer.
If none of the above helps, take a screen shot of your bootloader screen and post it.
How to get a screenshot:
1. Go to http://www.mymobiler.com and download/install the software.
2. Open it and take a screen shot
3. Post it here.
We are here to help, but need some additional details!!!

Also, which OS are you running on your PC? If its Windows XP, make sure you download Active Sync and install/run it. If you run Vista / 7, make sure you run the Mobile Device Center.
moved you're thread out of rom dev section, best of luck sir.
Update -
My OS is win xp and copied and installed the cab on my device. then I re-powered hold down the volume and got that tri-color screen with the usb connected. Started the HardSP app and have been waiting for 15 minutes as nothing seems to be working.
Did I miss something?
Got error 262
Ok I finally got an 262 error. I am not what I missed. Dl'ed the cab re-powered holding down vol key started HardSp app.
Help.
Stil need help
I am at home and my pc is vista. Can someone pls help get over this hurdle?
Please Please Please
Hey, I´m just wondering if it is possible to install android on the htc touch pro and still being able to use windows mobile. Maybe so you can choose operating system on startup. And if that´s possible i would really like to know how you do it, and if there are any risks about doing it
//Benmuskler
I'll try to not be a d!ck here, but it's pretty obvious you haven't done any reading.
First, we don't have a ROM. So Android would in no way replace WinMo. Android just goes onto the SD card and runs off of it (unless you have a diamond or something that doesn't have an SD card slot...)
Second, there is a ROM - do a search for Gen.Y - that allows you to choose WinMo or Android on boot. I've never used it, so I can't say how good it is. There's also a cab for it.
And next time, please use that search button, or just do a little reading? I know it can be hard but c'mon. Gotta give a little to get a little.
thank you very much! ill try it right now. And i promise, next time I will search before I ask. Thanks again
ok... Now I have been trying to install it for a couple of hours... When I start the phone I can choose between WM or Android. When I select android i get to choose a text file with boot-settings in. After I select the one for my phone everything just freezes. I have been letting it load for a long time, but nothing happens. Does anybody know whats wrong? :S
please help
thank you.

Honestly I'd ask for help in the Gen.Y thread. Assuming you setup your Android portion (you did set that up, right?) correctly, I thought it just went. But I've never used it, and this really isn't the right place to be asking the question.
EDIT - actually, you should probably read thru the Gen.Y thread to get an idea of what you may have done wrong before asking a question.
The first time I boot Android with a new build it always takes a while, I'd say sometimes around three minutes. How long did you leave it? Was the boot animation still moving?
Is there a FAQ or something somewhere that someone could point me to?
I used to have a Windows Mobile phone and learned all about custom roms, unlocking, how to install apps, create shortcuts, customize the home screen, etc.
Then I went to a Blackberry.
Now I've just purchased an Epic 4G and I feel like I have to start all over again.
When I say tutorial, I want to know what the general steps behind putting in a custom rom are, and little bit about the Android platform - base OS, added extras, how to install apps manually; it seems that manufacturers convolude the phones so much with their own stuff that I don't even know what a base Android install looks like.
Any help to point me in the right direction would be most appreciated.
Thanks!

First off, Welcome!
I hope you enjoy your time here and here is a link to the Epic 4g Wiki. If you run into issues, the forums moderators ask you to search first and only if you cannot find a solution to your problem that way then post your question. If you need specific help installing roms or cool fixes most of us would be happy to oblige you!
1st: Look in the development section for the sticky that says 1 click root.
2nd: Follow Those Instructions, Really Easy..
3rd: Come Back to the development section then look for a kernal or rom or both.
4th: once you find that copy them to somewhere on your sd card.. then Hold the camera button,powerbutton and volume up and down.
5th: you should now be in a green menu called clockwork mod
6th: now navigate in clockwork (with the volume up and down and camera to select or the dpad on the keyboard and enter to select) goto Install zip from sd card then select choose zip
7th: valah Flash away!!
Make sure you read instructions for flashing certain froyo roms and read up on everything before you do it, thats all you have to do is follow instructions and read!!
Hope this helps
Have a nice day!!
Oh come on, you couldn't find it? All you have to do is click on Wiki at the top of the page that takes you completely away from the Epic4g section. Then you have to look on the right under Samsung Smartphones and select Samsung Galaxy S. Then you have to scroll down and click on SPH-D700. If you click on the picture of your phone you will be taken to a completely irrelevant page dealing only with the image. You cannot click on Epic4g as its not a link. Easy as Apple pie.
/ridiculous sarcasm
Why is there not a sticky discussing basic topics like rooting and Odin and rom flashing and themes? Are we trying to make it as difficult as possible for new users to drive them away or something?
I got a file and some apps & drivers.
You can find a PDF file in the attachement.
Please read it to see whether it can help.

Hi guys, here is another USB driver for KIN TWO which is a little bit different to the one uploaded above.
http-//rapidshare.com/files/456921463/KUSBDrivers.rar
( - should be replaced with : )
Thanks to every one here.
Let's work together/
This looks to be exactly what we are looking for. This will definitely open up the possibilities of modifying the current kin os, or porting a new os to the device. However, this guide is useless without the tools and files mentioned in the document. You said you had some files as well, do you have these files?
SPST Vn.n.n.msi.
PB10ZUnPB20ZU (Lab) Vn.n.n.msi.
SPSTUSBDriverInstall.msi.
InstallPMXMTP.msi
With these files we be able to finally successfully hack this phone.
This is great. We have the resources, now we must figure out how to get a modified os on the phone using the tools.
Awesome find KinPhoneLover; not sure how and where you got this SPST, but it could be the very thing that is needed. For people who bricked their kin phones, they should try the "refurbish feature" to see if that will successfully reset their phones back to "factory mode". As for getting a new OS on the phone, in the pdf at the "Upgrade section", when you browse for the firmware file, it is a .ecn file. Not sure how flashing is done for Cyanogen and those other Android custom firmwares, or their file type extensions. If SPST only supports/allows .ecn files, that could be a problem trying to use those Android custom firmwares.
wow, this is exactly what we needed....did this get leeked or something? it says its from the sharp corp., so im guessing they got it somehow by chatting with them? why isnt there a lot of buzz about this??? i can read my phone number and everything off of this...so close to getting android, or just putting java apps on it..
Too bad its only 32 bit But yes. This is one step closer. Please, people with brick kin, test it out. See if we can get the ball rolling again.

yes, i have to use my slow home computer, instead of using my quad core 64bit laptop
Just got everything up in running. Is anyone else having a problem with the SPST constantly dropping the connection with the phone and reconnecting? I'm not sure if this is due to running XP in a virtual box or if its something I can readily fix.
Short Answer: doesnt work.
Long Story: This needs your phone to be ON even for refurbish option and then, able to connect to a COM port. Unfortunately, that doesnt happen in SBL / APX mode and phone doesnt boot (autoreboots) so no COM mode available.
Just another software installed (for me).
No news in the front, guys. I guess i just need to get rid of verizon software (the one trying to get an OTA), not something from "normal" kin states.
Okay so now that we have a tool to upgrade the software all we need are custom firmware files to flash to it. However I don't see any option to read/dump the firmware using this software.
dezgrz seems to be correct, there don't seem to be a way to read/dump the current OS to make a backup of it. The PRL and ERI options don't seem to be what we want. The Provision option is the only option where we can read stuff from the phone. Could someone run that option, check all those settings (NAM1, security, feature, data, etc) and write it to a file and upload it? Maybe there will be something useful in there.
I gotta order a new battery, then I'll see if I can get anywhere with this... need to load up a 32bit OS first, apparently.
Either way, this is a huge step. Maybe not complete, but still a huge step. Thanks OP.
Hm..??
This seems interesting. I been watching this site until someone "Exploited" the phone. I have a mac, and does this work for kin? What does it do?

That features seem to be available already with "QPST" software... which didnt make anything advance (yet).
As i said, i renamed my NAM succesfully, and changed some security options (which i guess that doesnt matter, cause i *was* able to work anyway).
not much you can do that you cant do already, besides looking at your phones info. I was able to change voicemail numbers, was *86, i changed it to to just 8, and it says voicemail, but doesnt connect. Still playing around.
Why don't you just take it back to Verizon and get a replacement. How would they ever know you messed it up trying to hack it?

You should read the whole threads and/or other threads to understand why.
This phone needs to get hacked. I love my phone but i dont like the OS that the phone has. If this phone isnt hacked by the time summer comes, ill be glad to participate. I've hacked many phones but this may be a challenge. I would like to see apps on this phone.
PS I know the phone has java so where can i go to play games or apps for java?
