This is from a brand new HTC Apache, SprintPCS PPC-6700. CDMA, WM5, BT 1.2, WiFi, EV-DO, etc.
The Radio and ExtROM are there also. I'm hoping this will help us Harrier users get WM5 on our phones in combination with the leaked BA WM5 ROM...
92GTA, thanks for your persistence Here is hoping this helps us 6600 users get closer to WM5. One thing I noticed is that the hardware version for both the 6600 and the 6700 both say 0041, so I am really hopeful.
Crossing my fingers on this one. Make sure Buzz is made aware of this ROM!
Well, I'm no expert, and I have no equipment, no software, and no skills, lol. So I can't help much here. But I do applaud the effort and wish there were some way I could contribute.
Anyway, I would imagine that if you take the ROM from an Apache (Sprint PPC-6700) and compare it to the ROM of a Wizard, whatever the differences are is probably exactly what the differences between the Harrier and Blue Angel ROMS need to be (for WM5 to be functional on both).
Just a thought...

Hey could you possibly dump your device?, or guide me to a tutorial or a way to upgrade my harrier to 2.04? thanx
Wheres the ROM Gone??
Hi could you post the rom again, its not on the ftp anymore. I'm after ril.dll in particular. THanks
I browsed around in the FTP.
Since the Apache is some sort of upgrade of the Wizard (? - I think, I don't understand the differences between them), I figured it was in the Wizard section...and it is.
ftp://xda:[email protected]/Uploads/HTC_Wizard/Extended_Roms/Sprint PPC 6700 extended ROM.zip
thats just the extended rom (the carrier's customisation files). I meant the full ROM. Anyway its ok I dont need it now I got the ril.dll I needed from the wizard instead.
btw the apache is a cdma variation of the wizard, only available in the usa as the sprint 6700, but verizon are releasing it soon.
how do you dump the rom? I've got a sprint 6700 ...
sprint has a 2.xxrom now, i want to put that on my 1.05 verizon xv6700-will it cause major problems?[/quote]

This may be a dumb question, but for everyone else who is thinking but not asking
How different is the 8525 from the 8125 OS'wise.
Will 8525 WM6 work on a 8125 WM5 machine ?
The Hermes forum has AT&T shipping new 8525's with WM6 and someone uploaded it.

There is a huge difference between the 8525 and the 8125. If you want something that is very close to the Wizard (8125) look at the TMobile Wing. Very similar specs... But you can't put that rom on the Wizard (nor a Wizard rom on a Hermes or Wing)...
With that said, you can take a rom from another device and port it to the Wizard (the 15342 build roms that we have now came from the Tytn or something I believe and were ported over by mUn to the Wizard). Its not a simple process, but its doable by those that understand how to do this.
Thanks
That clears up a few things I had been wondering about.
t-mobile wing
my cousin just bought a t-mobile wing the other day, i compared all the specs and it seems to be exactly the same except the processor speed is 206 as opposed to 195, but its still the omap 850 processor. i also read several reviews say that this is true tha thet t-mobile wing is just a slimmer wizard with an overclocked processor. however when i was using his device it seemed way faster than mine on like every function. any idea why this is?

Between you and me the wing was just a way for t-mobile to get users to pay $300 to upgrade to WM6.

15342 is a Wizard ROM. It's a real deal by HTC and MS. The 17xxx builds are all from other machines.
Oooookkkkkk..... so i got the I-mate SPL to jump back into smartphones and suprizingly....IT SUCKED!!! there is no mod work available for it and no WM6 version until feb '08(supposedly). so now my choices are between the t-mobile dash(excalibur) and the t-mobile sda(hurricane, i think). now here's my problem. i realized i need wifi(thought i could do without) however don't need a touch screen. need small, reliable fast and or course Modable . any input is welcome, don't care if you think you opinion is gold i welcome all comments at this point. Oh yeah and did i mention that i'm selling my SPL on ebay???
I really enjoy my Tilt and want to take advantage of some of the new offerings from this site, especially in terms of radio performance. However, as you all know, all of the lastest radios interfere with the normal sound operation when installed on the Tilt.
Can someone please explain to me why this is happening? And can I beg and plead with some of the Guru Chefs on this site to help us lowely Tilt owners by finding a solution so that we too can revel in the glory of OEM freedom?
That being said...I love this forum. This is a killer community. Even with the video driver issue, I am so glad I bought an HTC phone and can be part of the excitement. It's amazing how much of the industry is affected by what goes on right here in this place. Thanks to all of the contributers for their time and effort.
The new radios will only work with the new 6.1 roms that came out. Once you put the new rom on your tilt then the new radio will also work. I am holding off though on upgrading to 6.1 because I don't want an official rom. I would rather have a cooked rom so I am waiting until the cooked 6.1 roms get out of beta.
I am using the DCS v1.1 on my phone with the newest radio and am loving it...

Good Evening all!! My TP2 for sprint is on the way (hopefully tomorrow but possibly monday)! I have been out of the upgrading game for a few years now. I am coming from a mogul and even in the last year I haven't done anything to that because I felt like I have explored everything in the previous few years. Will anyone point me in the direction of some good links? I feel like I am starting all over with this whole process. anyway... where do I begin? I've been looking for stickies for sprint unlocking but it seems even the basic terms are beyond me....PLEASE HELP!!!
P. S. I formerly used and loved DCDs' ROMs.....what out now is similar to those?
Hi, welcome back to XDA. Seems like you enjoy custom ROMs and personalizing your phone. Everything you need will be in this forum because we use CDMA phones. Seeing as how you are probably going to use a custom ROM, you will first want to check out the Hard SPL thread here.
Once again it is very important to make sure you download CDMA versions as the GSM version can possibly brick your device. The same goes for downloading custom ROMs, which i suggest you download from PPC Geek's CDMA TP2 upgrades.
Below is the configuration that I use. To review different benchmarks on some different custom roms check out the PPC geeks ROM Showdown.
Best of luck with your device and always remember, if you don't know, READ IT AGAIN. If you still don't know, Search the forums. If you still don't know ask one of the experts here
thanks you very much for your response. i'm going to begin "studying" tonight. My TP2 is scheduled to be here before 3 on Monday (so excited). is it all everybody thought it would be and more? I've been out of the upgrading scene for years
hey, i recently did the same thing (upgrade from mogul to TP2)
as burtonsnow linked, HSPL is stickied in this forum
personally i use NRG's rom (http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86489)
i used to use DCD because it was lightweight, but the TP2 doesnt have the same RAM issues as the mogul, so i found i can indulge in a rom with some more eye candy
anyway, hope you like the TP2, im loving mine all my iphone fanboy/girl friends who thought my mogul was "nice, but not as good as an iphone" nearly **** themselves when they say my TP2 (they all want one now lol)
radios and such
is there a list of what radios work best with certain roms (and works well with gps)? when i had the mogul i used to use garmin mobile xt...is that the best program to use for the TP2?
i dont think there is as big a selection of radio roms for the TP2, ive really only seen the sprint stock radio around
i use TomTom on both mogul and TP2, so i cant comment on garmin
hello will sprint ever come out with a new release for the tp2 like idk 6.5.3?
i have a sprint tp2, also a tmobile hd2....i don't think the tp2 has 6.5.3, but the hd2 does .
Head over ppcgeeks.com, as they have the largest (afaik) list of tp2 cdma roms available, most of them are indeed wm 6.5.x and there are a few made specifically for sprint users. (Of course flashing them will void your warranty, but it´s worth the risk).

You will not find an official wm6.5.x upgrade for tp2.
PPCkitchen.org. Pick a 6.5.3 build and build one yourslelf. It might take a few tries but, it's not that hard to get started and you can customize a rom to your tastes with your apps.
