hi guys,
after lots of suffering i finally got a Touch Pro 2 from tmobile, its unlocked and supposed to be international version. the problem is that I dont like the tmobile at all, I dont want it to be used as a tmobile phone, but everytime I try to upgrade it it doesnt work even hard-spl doesnt work too, most of the applications (cabs) dont work at all, I just want it to be like a normal windows mobile 6.5 phone, I dont want it to be a tmobile phone.
Im pretty sure you guys can help somehow.
Take a long a good look at this thread. Everything you need to know about flashing your device is explained there.

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

Where and how did you find the rom? I've been looking to no avail. If you can't link legally or whatever, let me in on how you went about locating it. Thanks in advance if you do help...
i found it right on the rogers.com site. apparently the link that was turning up as an error had a part that i just had to deleted and it worked. this is the link:

is there a lot of rogers branding in their rom? i have tmo and really don't want a lot of branding like tmo does.
You should use this site if you needed some help...
here it it is... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=327757
and Rogers rom is so much better, and faster...
yes! Rogers rom is waaay faster than the tmo rom..
and so far that i have used this rom (Rogers rom) i dont see much rogers branding in it.. its like the the tmo rom only faster and w.o all the B.S. in it.. o plus it comes configured with a working joggr
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

i was about to ask the same question about the config...is there a way i can get OZ back..and also set up my yahoo email and all that..also i have windows vista and it connects to my phone with a sync program on it and when i got the rogers rom i went thru the steps and i noticed it found that my fone was connected so can i use it instead of active sync because it works the same..and also alll i have wm6 from tmo...and i wanted to know if all i have to do is connect the fone and flash the rom to it...

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.

since the day i have installed the rogers rom i have not had major problems with it. everything works fine n i dont do constant restart on my dash. as a matter of fact i restart my dash every other day n it has never locked up.. sorry to hear ur having problems with it.. but to me the rogers rom is really woth the flash from the tmobile stock rom
I am a noob when it come to unlocking the phones and I want to make sure I know what im doing before I try anything. I hace ROM Version 3.04.671.2 which is the latest rom on htc website my radio is 3.37.10. I really want gps to work ( get a consitent lock in under two years iif it locks at all) I'm not to clear on what these IMCoker unlockers and a vogue kitchens are. Where do I go to get the alltel specific info ( it seems everyone has the sprint ones, or does it not matter). I also want windows mobile 6.1. I am not asking anyone to hold my hand although that would be totallly awesome if someone would be my obi wan, but at least someone show me where I can get elaborate alltel specific info. I really want to get into this stuff but i need a starting point. SOMEONE SHOW ME THE LIGHT CAUSE I NEED A TUTOR. thanks in advance
I LOVE MY PHONE, BUT TALKING ON IT IS THE THING I DO THE LEAST......AND STOP COMING INTO MY STORE COMPLAINING I DONT MAKE THE PHONES I JUST SELL THEM.
You need to do a lot of reading before you do anything! There is far to much info to be given as a response. Check PPCGeeks, there is a really great set of instructions on flashing.
Basically,
ImCokeMan's Unlocker v2.31 will unlock your phone, allowing you to make the ROM change, very important step, otherwise you may brick youe phone.
Since you already have the newest ROM/Radio, I'm not sure what you need to do to flash.
To sum it up, make sure you are VERY knowledgable in ROM flashing before you attempt this.
a freind of mine has the tmobile wing phone.he lost all the info that was stored on it. is there anyway to recover the menc files that are encrypted on his phone???
Also, if he puts on a brand new rom on it will the latest tilt rom work ok on his wing?? Thanx
it is hard for me to believe that noone has any answers .At least if someone said they dont know it would be something but no responses ?? what is happening to this site????
I'm with telus, i flashed my Telus Omnia 1 phone. I wanted to install the system update CF03 on my phone that i found with the Samsung website. i tough it will correct my sms problems. They where not always sended to others.
The problem is like you allready know, it change with verizon drivers, and now the battery doesnt work nor the phone mode. I tought Samsungs os and driver where compatible with all their Omnia. But ... Telus and Bell Omnia doesnt work after installing thoses Rom.
Now, i'm looking for an original telus Rom, or any information if this as been fixed by TELUS or Samsung or even a Cooked rom for Telus Omnia for people like me
that didnt knew all the facts.
Any solution at this time ?
I'll be really happy if one of you can take the time to look for a solution.
All i've find so far is : Cant post the link yet ... (new to this forum)
I really hope there is a solution, this happened to a lots of people. I'm just looking for a way to get it like it was out of the box or (as close as possible).
I just got the phone a few month ago, so i hope i wont have to buy a new one for that mistake.
Seems like you killed the phone part... Flashing that carries a risk. You'll still be able to use the device as a PDA just not as a phone... I'm under the belief there's no solution but you'll have better luck in getting the correct answer at modaco. As you can see there's no Omnia section here at xda.
There is no official omnia section here, however if you search on the top you may find some help.
Also to answer your question about the ROM for telus, you know you can always revert back to the original ROM right?
you need to do a Hard reset and it should revert to the original factory settings, i have done that 2 times when trying to figure out a way to insert the 6.5 Rom on my omnia. I have managed since then to install it without issues and to be honest nothing special.
It's just a plain install without opting to install verizon modules, i also had to change some kernal codes other then that it was fine.

Step by step instructions for solving your problem:
1. Stop wasting time on this board
2. Apply for a part time job
3. Get job
4. Use cash from job to pay developers for their work
very useful posts - not.
i pay apps, but if apps have NO try version so i should pay 6 € for a app, that i dont know? not rly guys... or without unlock i cant use accent changer or something else. so please dont msg me with "get job" or something like that... very childish. u dont know me so u cant judge about me!

We don't know you, but we can judge you based off of your posts. If you are not willing to take a chance on a 6buck game, then don't.
But when you come on here advocating piracy, you will get flamed and possible banned. I wonder if you ever went back and bought any of those games after "trialing" them.... I bet not.

I have a Italian htc mozart with nodo.
I would like to downgrade to unlock it
there is a method?
Hi,
I have a HTC Mozart from the German T-Mobile.
Because it took me to much time to wait for NoDo I flashed with a HTC debranded Rom and made the update to NoDo.
Now I would like to go back to the Build 7004 of the debranded Rom to make the unlock / jailbreak and later update to NoDo.
So I thougt I just flash the debranded Rom over my current NoDo Phone.
But everytime I flash it, there is still NoDo!!!
The Rom didn't had NoDo when I flashed it in the first place. It seems like flashing doesn't work or the Phone updates it self during the first start up.
I tried it more than one time.
Flashing back to the original T-Mobile Rom brings me back to Build 7004. But when I flash now the debrandet Rom it will be NoDo!
Anybody have an idea?
I have known enough of the HTC hardware architecture over the years to realize that re-imaging should be a no-brainer but also that the devil is in the partitions. However, for some unexplained reason, Mr. Watson's note/warning makes me wonder if reflashing will actually leave it just as new...
http://windowsteamblog.com/windows_...all-updated-windows-phones-are-not-alike.aspx
Are you flashing using all the nbh files (meaning, *all* partitions)? What tool are you using to flash? Maybe that scenario is what he describes in his post, where there are leftovers? {however should not apply if flashing} But, you say that using the original ROM does bring everything back to 7004. Odd indeed.
As a final note and taking a different approach, check http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=671743. He mentions that when dumping there is a bunch of unkown partitions. What if the update stored some update-related stuff, applicable only to the unbranded version (in other words, those alledged update bits being version specific)? Such a conspiracy theory would suit your scenario.
Hi fosormic,
thanks for your answer.
Maybe I can solve the problem flashing another Rom from this site. It really seems like there is a rest of the NoDo-Update on the Phone for the HTC Rom.
But even when I flash down to 7004 with the T-Mobile Rom the NoDo pieces will stay.
A friend using Android asked me if it's not possible to set an option to erase the whole phone before flashing. That could be an option but I'm not sure if it's available on Windows Phone.
OK, I will work with the T-Mobile Rom. Do you think it will work installing NoDo and later flash back to the 7004 Version?
Regards
Dennis

Hi there, to be honest I have no clue. I suspect your friend is a Samsung user (I have 3 devices) and yes you can repartition a Samsung and very easily mess it up beyond almost almost any help. I have never seen a repartitionable HTC device but my knowledge at such low level is quite superficial. From the bootloader viewpoint they do seem almost identical (newer versions aside) to me.
Sorry not to be more helpful. It is more of an academic thing to me but I know it is a real deal to you
Best of luck mate,
