Hi,
Has any experienced your Device ID changing names? It has happen several times and I'm thinking I've been hacked? Some of the names are Windowsmobile6 and Windowsmobile78 and WM3.
Prior to a ROM upgrade I flashed the unlock and had planned to download one of the cooked then changed my mind and upgrade to HTC latest ROM minus the Sprint's custom.
Thank you in advance.

Is there a new rom update for our phones and what changes are made to our phone with that new rom?
I went to the htc site and there is a new rom of 1.08.573.2. Is that correct?
Yes, that is the last official ROM release.
I have an htc touch pro bought in Greece. In the support page of O2 there is an update ROM (5.12.206.1) and my serial number was accepted. The question is "Do i need hard-spl or i can just flash my phone"
For official releases, you only need to flash the phone.
When trying to update the rom I got an error message saying: Error [294]: Invalid Vendor ID. I think this rom is for US cellular customers and its not for the sprint customer.
Any ideas on what might be wrong?
Hi,
I need some help in changing the device ID of my T-Mobile MDA Vario IV.
It's unlocked and contains the newest HTC Firmware of the TouchPro.
Now my problem:
I installed a try&buy version of a programm a few moths ago when I got the brand new MDA, containing the T-Mobile Firmware.
The programm didn't work but the first time it got started, it connected to the internet and submitted my device ID.
Now, after re-flashing the device, I wanted to try this tool again and now it prints about an already registered device id.
What I'd like to do now, is change the device ID and replace it, so I can retry the installation again.
Do you guys think it's possible to do this ?
And if yes, would you please be so kind to explain it to me
At least I'd like to saysorry about my worse german-school-english, I hope you could find out, what I've been typing about !
Thanks in advance,

Contact the software vendor with your issue, they should be able to get you up and running.
If by device ID you mean your IMEI#, you can't change it.
I was reading the Wiki/FAQ and found this thread and still have some questions on the ROM Radio configuration.
I have a tilt I got from work and the reception is attrocious, so I am under the impression that the ATT ROM and Radio have more affinity for the ATT network than Tmobile (which is my guess because my old Wing had much better signal). What I notice from the list of Kaiser ROMs (on the Wiki) is the only official Tmobile ROMs are for the Netherlands and the UK. My guess is that I wouldn't want to load those since I live in the US, plus the official OS build is 19124 in the ATT tilt instead of 19212 in the other builds.
My question is: Can I mix other Radios to better work on the Tmobile network? Do I need to clear my ROM from the official ATT to another HTC ROM? Does the ROM clear the Windows build so there wouldn't be a compatibility issue, or does it only work for the cell phone service (device communication portion sort of like a DOS on windows 98) and therefore the OS build is independant of the ROM and Radio? Do ROMs and Radios need to be properly paired or can I trial and error it?
I've been looking for some of the answers but the weren't overly appearant from the FAQ and Wikis. Hopefully I didn't gloss over the easy answers somewhere on the site.
Any thoughts? I can start doing the trial and error method, but if I can get some confirmation that I won't brick my phone that would be awesome. Also, if there is any general "method to the madness" in terms of trying the Radios out, I would appreciate it.
This is where you should start:
Flashing Your First Kaiser Rom
The most important consideration for flashing any phone: MAKE SURE YOU HARD SPL (if you are using a Tilt, I recommend 3.56 as that is what AT&T officially used in their last ROM). That way, if you screw up a flash, you can just flash to another radio/ROM without worrying about bricking your phone. Press the Camera+Power button+use your stylus to reset the phone to bootloader to see if your phone is already Hard SPL'd. You should see a 3.28, 3.29, 3.34, or 3.56 at the top left of the screen when the tricolor screen pops up; you can just reset your phone after looking to get back to your OS). If, and only if, your phone is Hard SPL'd, read on...
>Can I mix other Radios to better work on the Tmobile network?
Of course. For example, I am using the emobile radio (1.71.09.01) on my Tilt. See: The Ultimate Radio Thread for more.
>Do I need to clear my ROM from the official ATT to another HTC ROM?
No, you can flash the radio only if you want.
>Does the ROM clear the Windows build
Not if you're flashing just the radio.
>...and therefore the OS build is independant of the ROM and Radio?
The OS build is independent of the radio. Best to think of the ROM as the OS, and the radio as how your OS communicates with your phone...
>or can I trial and error it?
That's the whole point of flashing just the radio--finding which one works best for you.
Thank you for the information. I verified the Hard SPL (3.56) so it looks like I am good on that front.
I just want to verify something you said before I actually do this (since the RUU tutorial told me ROMs can brick my phone and you mentioned Radios are similar in that fashion). The radios listed from the Ultimate ROM/Radio Thread are listed by WMx.x version, not by the associated ROMs. Since I am using the officially released ROM from ATT my version of WM is 6.1, therefore any of the Radios under the 6.1 header are available for flashing to my phone.
Is that correct?
Thanks again and in advance.
Anyone know of a new link for the latest Hard SPL 3.56? I keep on trying to download on rapidshare and I am denied (cause I am a non-subscriber). If there is a mirror that anyone knows of I would appreciate it. I keep searching around and cannot find one.

Zelendel you are awesome. Thank you very much.
Hello All,
I have a TP2 I am going to hook up that was just taken off the network. It is fully unlocked with a custom rom & 2.23WU radio.
Question is will they hook up a phone with a custom rom if I call them? Also, if I need to flash it back to stock rom will I loose the unlocked GSM radio? Reason I ask is the stock rom has 1.96WF radio in the title which I know is a locked version.
Thanks,
Force
i would think as long as it's a sprint phone with a clean esn, it wouldn't matter which rom it's running.
All you need to give them is your esn #, i don't see how they can tell what rom you are using or if the gsm sim is unlock or not. Just go ahead and try, i don't see the harm.
Cool, Thx guys
One time I had a TP1 and sold it on ebay and the guy said sprint was having problems hooking it up, I know it had a clean ESN,
He flashed to stock and they hooked it up NP.
Later,
Force
They may ask you to use the "Update Profile" software that comes in Sprint stock roms, and depending on your custom rom, that software may not be included.
Never mention is has a custom rom to them. They won't honor the warranty if you do
NEVER mention to any service provider that you "hacked" your phone, as stated this will guarentee you A voided warentee. I would also guarentee they will certainly not hack it for you.
just make sure when you hack it to backup your stock rom. that way if something were to go wrong and your Rhodium would need serviced you can stock-ah-fy (yeah, I said it) it. One look at a flashed Rom and they will tell you that you're S.O.L.
So they hooked up the phone and sure enough just like the TP1, the voice works, but no data works.
It is running latest NRG Rom 2.5, Same thing happened with Mighty rom on the TP1 a year or so ago.
Any ideas, maybe use the provisioning app on it?
Thx,
Force
Yes, you should run the provisioning app located in the Start Menu\Programs\Tools folder.
There was a new NRG 2.5 Sense Cookie HomeTab ROM released on June 27th. I'd suggest you reflash to ROM to the newest one on your phone rather than relying on something the previous owner flashed.
Also it's advised to do a Task29 clear. (Search for it in the PPC Geeks thread dedicated to the Touch Pro 2 CDMA NRG ROMS: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86489 )
Plus the recommended unlocked radio for the CDMA Touch Pro 2 is the 2.32.00WU version found in this thread http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=106571 on PPC Geeks.
I've found that PPC Geeks is where the best support for the NRG ROM and unlocked radios for the CDMA Touch Pro 2 are found. Whereas I prefer xda-developers for most of my apps.
PS I run the Titanium version of the Touch Pro 2 CDMA NRG ROM's so don't have first hand experience with the Sense versions.
I'm still running an ancient version (Late May) of the NRG ROM and it didn't have any of the sprint PRL and Profiler update apps. I found a cab that will install them in the MR. X ROM thread: http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1563450&postcount=4
Hi everyone,
I have read up a lot on different people in similar situations to myself, but none of the solutions I have found have been successful. Anyway, here goes:
01) I rooted my GT-N7100 (Samsung Galaxy Note II) using Odin and then installed Cyanogenmod onto it.
02) I decided that I did not like CM, so I downloaded the stock rom for the handset and went through the process of putting the phone back to normal
03) This was successful, however, during the process my IMEI number has changed on the OS level, so that now the IMEI written on the device is different to the one that is displayed in the device status.
I am not trying to change my IMEI number to anything other than the number that it is supposed to be, I just want to be able to make calls and use my mobile data again. If anyone has any ideas about how I can go about editing the current IMEI number, I would be really appreciate it. I'm aware that this is a taboo subject due to the legality of changing the number, but all I want to do is get my phone back to the way it was.
Please feel free to ask me for any further information.
Thanks in advance.
