I've got one of these phones unlocked and have been using it with the T-Mobile network, and it works great. However, I'd like to upgrade it WM2003SE. So far everything I try isn't working, I'm sure I'm doing something wrong. Is there someone out there that can point me in the right direction of where I need to get started?
Thanks In Advance,
Michael
Anyone?
Hi to all,
Well guys I have a question...
I have a ppc with these specs that had
already been installed in it by someone
else:
I don't know if it's unlocked..the guy told me it was..
but for some reason i don't believe the dam guy...
(getting lots of freezes and doing lots of hard resets)
No joy!...
HTC Herm100=Cingulars 8525
Rom version : 3.62.502.20 WWE
Radio version 1.16.00.00
Protocol version : 32.53.7018.014
And I want to better it, what can I do?
Plus I would like to have GPS runing
on it, if possible...The GPS I know it
came with and would like to see it
working...Any ideas?
thanks...
I got this in a trade i did for a dual indash dvd,
in the box..
Hey guys I know you want us to read...But it's not only to read you got to study things before you get in to them and I've done this before in a motorola...But with this one it seems a bit more complicated.And since I don't know what has been done this this ppc ,I'm a little skimy about doing this...
I've been resetting this since I got it..So my thoughts are to use the sim unlock for htc herm,and use this rom Hard-SPL-V7...Any thought...thanks
I received my Touch Pro2 on 11/3, since then the internet has ceased working and forced me to do a hard-reset FOUR TIMES. If anyone has any ideas, opinions or otherwise I'd like to hear them.
I have a ticket open with Sprint Tech Support so I can go into the store and get another one, but I have two fears on this, that either they will not have it, or all they will have are refurbs to replace my brand new TP2.
If a list of software on the phone would help please let me know, I'll be more than happy to list it all out.
Thanks
Maybe a solution!
go to www.ppcgeeks.com then Touch Pro 2 CDMA, and get the lates Energy Rom, it's blazing fast, and on the same forum look for the radio tread and the the lates Sprint modified radio, that will get you faster conections.

I actually did that the other day, but I can't seem to figure a few things out... To begin with I can't figure out where the latest radio is. Also I really don't like the "finger friendly" file explorer and outlook mobile, I'd imagine there's a way to disable it. I used to use a couple of memory tweaks, I can't help but wonder if they'd work on EnergyROM... Any chance you can help and or direct me to the right place on any of those? I search high and low but come up with nothing.
Thanks

Hi,
I am on a mission today, to upgrade my phone. Currently I have Windows Mobile 5.2.21812 and its very unstable.
I know nothing about flashing these, as I bought the phone from EBAY not knowing it had Windows Mobile 6.5 on it.
I notice reading in the forums, I need to know if its CDMA, or GSM etc ? How would I tell that please? Phone is HTC Touch Pro.
Many thanks.

If your phone has a SIM Card Slot then its a GSM Model. If it has no SIM Card then its CDMA.
Ohhhh I see Thank you ever so much.
Would this be the right ROM to use - just making sure, before I start to read all the instructions ..............

You didnt say what phone you have - so we cant tell!
If you have a GSM phone (sim card) then you want to start reading here If however you have a CDMA phone (no sim card) then here would be a good place to look

Steveyg, Touch Pro's are CDMA too. No one wants to help you if you're going to brick your device. Are you GSM or CDMA? We will assist as much as possible, but help us by answering that simple question.
Ohhh I understand now
Mine is a phone with a SIM, thus GSM is that correct?

Radio is comparable to something like your WiFi card in your laptop. Depending on your location, etc, some radios are better than others. They control your signal, GPS, WiFi, etc. The most used one that I've seen is 1.14.25.35
UC Capable is something you need when you start cooking. If you're new to the Raph, you probably don't need this info yet.
SPL is the most important. Since you bought your device pre-flashed with 6.5, is should be hardSPL. This helps prevent your device from becoming an expensive paperweight. Now, it helps, but doesn't guarantee. If you put your device into bootloader (hold vol-, hold power, and reset with stylus) your device at the top of your screen should say something like SPL-1.90.Olinex. This means it's hardSPL and you are able to flash custom ROMS, like the NRGZ28 ROM you linked to. As long as they are GSM you should be able to flash any ROM for the GSM Touch Pro.
These are the basics so just keep reading the wiki. I will answer any questions I can, so just shoot me a PM if needed
Hey, if you want to flash your Raphael, I'd recommend you read this
I did my first, regardint this thread, and actually worked, really simple if you ask me!
Some suggestions: Leave the radio, for first, just do a simple ROM flash, and after that if you find it nessescery you can do it later.
The only ROM I tried for my Raphael is TAEL's ROM, it's amazing compared to the stock ROMs!!! If you're intrested click on it in my signature!
I have the following ROM;-
r:- 1.11.25.01
g:-52.58.25.30u
d 5. phoenix
Do I have to revert to a OEM ROM? If so, where do I find those please?
Good news, I've been sucessfull Phoned imaged to TAEL Roms - very good.
Could of questions;-
1. Don't have the sat nav the other image had. Can't remember the name of it. but I used to use that quite alot. Does anyone know where I can download it from?
2. Used to have an application called FLASHLIGHT - great little app. Its a TOURCH application that used the FLASH Light. Really handy. Where can I download it please.
Many thanks.

1) are you talking about the garmin or tomtom gps software? or the one where you use the GPS to lock down a location (kinda like "dude where's my car?" app for the iphone)
search on the forums under software development subforum. it's called Torch.. that or NueLight.
Thanks I managed to find the torch light thing, but still can't find the sat nav. Not sure what the name was. It was really good though. Wasn't the tom tom navigator. Wish I made a note of it, as it was fully working version :-(
are you talking about the GPS navigation software? if so then it's either garmin (mobile XT) or tomtom
Hi,
Looking on my storage card Managed to find the name - AUTO MAPA. Tried to load it from the storage card, and it works. So I have copied the exe to the start menu, multimedia folder and it works great
Whats this GARMIN Mobile XT like then?
Since updating to TAEL Rom, my signal is very low and keeps disconnecting from the network.
Do I need to upgrade my RADIO then?
My version is;-
1.11.25.01
I found this one, would this work ?
http://www.4shared.com/file/133094257/1e1ce983/BlackStone_Radio_1172509.html
try testing other radio. I changed my radio to the new ATT official rom (not so new anymore but it was the latest updated ATT rom). Test it out for a few days each and map out what you think works best and keep to that.
One thing I noticed is that some radios will crash your phone after a call.. they may give you better signals, but it will crash your phone, so be aware of that.
Hi,
Thanks for the message. Does it matter that I am on TMOBILE and not ATT ?
Ok, this may be a dumb question but I found evidence of this as a possibility elsewhere and wanted someone to clear this up for me. I have an AT&T Fuze. We are looking at switching to the Sprint network. Will I need to get a new phone, or is there a radio flash that can be used to make the change?
Forgive my newbie question. I'm still learning!
Thanks!
nope sorry you can not use a gsm phone on a cdma network.
cant: this is in hardware, not software
Well that was easy enough.
Next, if I purchase a used, unlocked Verizon phone, will I be able to use it with Sprint?
Thanks!
my fze shows a cdma option why is that?

No, you will not.. Sprint will not activate any phone they did not sell originally (not model of phone, but physical phone itself)... If it was not originally a Sprint phone that they do not have a record of, it can not be activated EVER on the sprint network.. They are the biggest "jerks" about that...
But on the good news, is just look for a Sprint HTC Touch Pro... it has TWICE the ram that the Verizion TP version has... And there are TONS of them all the time on craigslist... many in excellent condition... My only advice would be is, if you are buying any cellphone on craigslist, agree to only buy it if then will go WITH YOU (or meet you) at a Sprint Retail store, and have the Customer Service guy verify that the phone is not reported lost or stolen... If it is reported lost or stolen by whoever had it registered most recently, you will never be able to activate it on Sprint either...This way protects you in not only do you knwo for sure it is a legit phone, it will stop some seedy people from trying to rob you or anything...
If you go this route, I highly reccoment the NSFAN roms... They are great, well put together roms... They sort of remind me of the Energy roms on the Fuze....
Anyways, hope I was some help!
Thanks, Teej!
I've been watching items on Ebay. That's where I got my Fuze.
Does the Tael ROM work for the Sprint Touch Pro? I have had good luck with it and like the config. What do you like about the NSFAN ROM?

I have never used the Tael Rom, so I can't comment on that one.. buut the NSFAN one is great... I installed the exact same rom on both a US Cellular as well as a Sprint version of the Touch Pro and both "just worked" right out of the box... it is very finger friendly... has on all the little features and tweaks to a settings liek I would have them set.. The programs that come with it are very useful.. It looks good... and runs pretty quickly it seems as well... I have installed tomTom on it, and it also just "worked" out of the box without any special GPS configuration... and it locks on in like 30 seconds! We also have a fuze, and that one seems to takes 3 or 4 min, both from a cold start, started at the same time in the same car... (we compaired them many times)... Batterys seems to last about 2 days on typical use... It also seems to be very stable....
Hope I have helped....
