Telus 6.5 upgrade? - Touch Pro2 CDMA

Has anyone heard anything about ETA for Windows Mobile 6.5 update from Telus? I'm almost tempted to unlock the phone and install a cooked rom.

Just unlock and flash a ROM. It'll be better than anything you'll get from Telus.
Trust me, I did.

That's what I'd like to do, I'll just have to figure out how to go about getting it done now.

Treo 750 AT&T Facotry WM5 ROM

Hi,
I am thinking of upgrading to WM6, just to give it a try.
I know that if I dont' like it I can always revert back to the WM5, just reinstall the ROM.
However, I have spent 30 minutes searching around this site for the AT&T Factory Rom, build 14959.2.3.2
Can't seem to find it.
Anyone know where to find it.
As an aside, anywone know when AT&T is going to release the official ROM update, just debating whether to wait a while longer to get the real deal...
Thanks
Anyone have this?
I'm looking to downgrade the to the ATT version, not cingular.

Treo 750 Unlocked. Can i still use ATT WM Rom?

Long time reader, first time poster =]
Just wondering if i can use the same WM update as everyone else? I paid for a program to unlock my treo 750 to work for T-mobile when i first bought it.
I would like to upgrade to WM 6.0, i have done alot of reading, know how to do it, but not sure if i do upgrade to wm6.0 with the atnt rom, it might 'lock' the phone again.
Can anyone clarify this.
Flash away podna..it won't lock your device.

Does your TP2 Lock Up like this?

I've hard reset it like advised and haven't installed any 3rd party apps.
After I wait a few hours, the phone will start to respond, but will be significantly sluggish.
I believe I should have posted this in the general section (Not sure, I'm fairly new to these forums)

I think it's time you bring it to your local Verizon store and show them. Tell them "Look, I turn on the phone, and I can't use it!" I'm guessing they're smart enough to realize you need a replacement because that's not normal. I'm sure they'll give you another replacement.
If they don't, flash a ROM and see if it works. If everything works with the custom ROM, then it was obviously a Verizon stock ROM flaw (which I doubt since this doesn't seem common).
Yea, I had to pay for my first replacement ($50)
I hear the official 6.5 is out, where can I find that?
Also, I don't know the first thing about flashing phones with custom ROMs

Pshh.. they gave you a faulty one now, so you shouldn't have to pay for the next replacement!
Officially, WM6.5 for the TP2 is for the Unlocked GSM European TP2. It's only for GSM networks, though (you have CDMA, so you can't flash that!).
Custom ROM flashing: I learned from a pictorial. Just follow everything! Always flash a CDMA Rhodium/TP2 ROM (you can find those at PPCGeeks) to your Verizon/Sprint/Telus TP2.
Most ROMs are not going to be suited for your phone (keyboard), so some fixes are found here.
Some of the famous CDMA ROMs are MightROMs and EnergyROMs. Find one that suits you!
*CDMA = Sprint/Verizon/Telus
GSM = Unlocked/Tilt2/T-Mobile* ROMs are made specifically for one network, and a particular device. So, never flash a GSM ROM onto a CDMA phone, and never flash a TP1 ROM to a TP2.
Good luck!

Actually, the US Cellular TP2 also comes with 6.5. If you don't have a US Cellular phone though, you still can't flash it and will need a custom rom.
Wow, you guys are extremely helpful over here.
So I should flash it, or ask for a new one?

I heard about that. However, like you said, it wouldn't be great with a Verizon phone since I doubt there's an official ROM floating around (there would be a ROM dump on PPCGeeks) but why would anyone want a stock ROM to replace a stock ROM?!

Ask for a new one first because we don't know if the issue you have is due to faulty hardware or software. If it's hardware, a new ROM can't do anything. If it was software or firmware(ROM), then a new ROM should be able to fix it.
If you ever need to return the phone and it has a custom ROM, you will have to re-flash the stock ROM found at thewingster. You will then have to follow the steps to return stockSPL (very bottom of the post). If you don't do these return-to-stock steps, Verizon wouldn't accept it!
Got my new one in the maill today, for free.
Thanks guys.
now.. should I flash? I want 6.5 badddd

I'm guessing wait 'til the weekend arrives. Use the phone hardcore! If anything goes wrong with it for the next few days, at least you can return it again.
If you're truly desperate, I guess you could flash!
lol there's hardcore ways to use our phone? I thought it was bad-ass all around.
Is there an ETA of when Verizon's TP2 6.5 is suppose to arrive? I thought it was December/January :\
It's out... check out the thread over at PPC Geeks.
Got it. Thanks

[Q] Question--Are there any roms for the Sprint HTC Arrive?

I know there are plenty of roms for the 7 Pro, but are there any for the CDMA Sprint HTC Arrive? (I think it's also the HTC GOLD_C)
I just want a way to Interop_Unlock. I'm already developer unlock through Microsoft, but there seems to be no way to Interop Unlock on a CDMA HTC device.
Thanks,
John Simmons

there aren't any custom roms for the arrive yet because there's no way to load them on. cooking the roms and flashing is the easy part, but you need a hacked HSPL to write over the stock OS. the good news is mwang from the DFT (who made all the other HSPL's) is hard at work on making one for the Arrive. i want to interop unlock as well but I'll just wait to cook my own rom. much easier than downgrading and trying some sketchy updating tools. This thread is where mwang made the comment about the Gold_C coming soon, so check here for updates.
cheers
please were are the Arrive custom roms.
I want to customize and use homebrew apps for my Arrive. And I can't find anything. I am unlocked by the new official chevron unlock. But that's it. I still can't do squat. With it. I want to advance configure my device. Can anyone help me?

I too am waiting for this. I am really surprised more people haven't gotten this phone yet. Its much better than than any android device I have ever used and would say in time will surpass the Iphone. I dont care that its not 4g or 4.3 inch screen i love my keyboard and I love that phone makes it over 12 hours without charging even with checking email, playing chess, phone calls loads of texts and internet usage.

[Q] WiFi Tethering Carrier Free/Unlocked Omnia 7

Hi,
Apologies if this has been asked or explained somewhere before but I for the life of me cant find a direct answer to it.
I have a Carrier Free/Unlocked Samsung Omnia 7 which I love, but what would really top it off would be to use WiFi tethering like all the Android/IOS people i know.... (oh and a front facing camera, but that can wait)
I know that tethering is enabled by Carriers with the Mango update but as Im carrier free ROM the only thing i have found is the InterOP hack which for me I have already updated to the latest Samsung update which stops me from doing this. So my question is, is there a way I can get tethering without changing to a carrier ROM... I was under the impression having a carrier free ROM would be much better (in the past it has), but clearly in this instance its not... unless im missing something that i hoping someone can share with me Thanks in advance.
I know its Easter, but has anyone got any input on this. Thanks.
If you can flash your ROM with update that did not make the Interop Unlock Go away, you may have a chance.

Yeah, I saw the option to roll back my phone to a date prior to the last update, but i would loose everything i had put on it since then. Not ideal to flash my device, I think i'll just wait and get a new handset. Thanks for your reply.
