You need to read the flashing guide thread.
Basic steps are;
Install Hard SPL (First)
Find a ROM w/ 2.5 and flash away.

If for some reason you will not flash your ROM(you should do it) here is a thread for getting it working on the TG01. Try the files on your TD2 and see if they work:

If you do a flashing, will you lose everything you have on it? IE text messages, and contacts that aren't saved to my sim card? I use microsoft myphone to back everything up, Can I just use that to transfer everything back to the phone? Or will it not work with a flashed rom?

My phone will restore you contacts and SMS to a custom ROM

How do I know I have the proper radio installed? That's one thing I never understood about flashing, and always worried me. Sorry for the noob questions. I had a friend who flashed his G1 a bunch of times, and he tried to help, but didn't explain much. I'm worried i'm going to brick my phone, but I'm fairly computer savey.

If you haven't flashed your radio before, flashing a custom ROM won't reflash your radio.
As far as flashing different radios, the only way you can brick is if you flash a radio from another device w/o being CID unlocked.
You can flash any Topaz radio. The first thing to check to see if the radio is compatableis to see if it affects your camera opperation, then check GPS, WiFi, etc.

Do you recommend flashing radios? I don't have any problems with service or anything where I'm at...
Also, I've been looking at ROMs again, which would you recommend?
1: Duttys Topaz Sense 2.5 Holy Grail R7.1 Multi-Lang |WWE|FRA|GER|ITA|NLD|PTG|NOR|SVE|SPA|
2: |T|6.5.5|ROM|WWE| ★ EnergyROM "Phoenix 2" 23529/21892 ★Feb 16★ Sense 2.1/Titanium ★
3: |T|6.5.5|ROM|WWE| ★ Energy "Leo" 23529/21892 |Feb 16| ★ Sense 2.5.2011 / MaxManila ★
I think I like the looks of Sense 2.5 better, but Am not sure between 1 and 3...

Both are great chefs but I prefer Dutty's ROMs as I have used his ROMs for a long time over several devices.
His are always close to stock for stability but still highly configurable.
Either way, I suggest Max manila for your theme, you won't be disappointed. Energy's come with Max Manila but it can still be installed on Duttys.
Also, you lose alot of functionality with Titanium compared to Sense.
I haven't upgraded from Dutty's HG R6 because its still working great for me.

which file should I download?
Energy.TOPAZ.21892.Leo.16.Feb.2010.rar
Energy.TOPAZ.21892.Leo_(Cookie_HomeTab_1.5.4).16.Feb.2010.rar
or Energy.TOPAZ.21892.Leo_MaxManila.16.Feb.2010.rar?

Not sure what "Cookie_HomeTab_1.5.4" is.

Hopefully last question. I'm supposed to use HSPL 1.83 correct? From

yes you need to flash to 1.83

[03-24] cooked a new *English* wm6.0 Rogers rom 1.83

This is not an amibtious rom but its my first release.
The Rogers Rom seems to be newest of the wm 6.0 series and has some interesting changes, Call Display being one of them. Being on Rogers in Canada I decided to release a cooked rom based on it. I left alot of it original but upgraded a couple of things and added a bit.
I noticed that some of the software rogers released is different than the ones in Alex's kitchen kit.
For example the 4.08 camera in rogers is 4_08_28875_00 Alex's kit has 4_08_28288_00. This may indicate that some bug fixes were made but I am not sure.
Its just another ROM to try.
Removed:
Windows Live,
Cyberon Voice Speeddial 1.2
HTC Home
Bubblebreaker
Solitaire
Rogers bmp, wallpapers, some of the awful ring tones
Windows Update
Upgraded:
.net 2.0 to .net 3.5
SqlCeMobile 3.0 to 3.5
Added:
Quickmenu
GlossyBlackbars
Some themes I made
A few extra ring tones
Pocket Sudoku V.9
Synchrotime V0.95
Sleuth's UC Compliancy
I did a small trick where I took my animated.gif and called it startup.gif then simply copied it during the cold boot. End result, if you want to replace it with your own animate.gif just copy over top of the file with your own as it is not part of the ROM.
Also uploaded seperately a nice Symian Splash Screen and the original Rogers radio extracted from the Rom.

Thanks to Alex, jscepi, jugglerlkr, Dutty, Schap, for the kitchen and all the other utility and tutorial writers and xda Kaiser cooks. Your tools and tutorials have made this an exciting addicting site.
I have learned alot from you all.
Anyhow feel free to download and try it out, expecially if you are on Rogers.
Send me any feedback you have.
Download here.

Thanks. I will try this out.
Cool bro, I've been waiting for someone to use the Rogers rom as base since we got a hold of it. Thanks, and I'll give it a whirl tomorrow and post some feedback as soon as I can.
So far the ROM seems pretty quick & clean. I have not installed any apps yet so I will report back again.
But, the radio seems to be ROM dependant. I have tried it with a few other WM6 Roms with no luck.

is the ROM dependant on this radio?
Rom dependant on the Rogers Radio?
I cannot say, I used the radio released with the rom. I have not tried other wm6.0 radios on it yet.
I wouldnt suggest using the radios for the wm6.1 roms such as the 1.64.xx or the 1.58.xx I would doubt they would work.
When I installed this custom ROM, it gets stuck at the end of the customization "Running SDAutoRun.exe".
I do have a SDConfig file in the root of my memory card.
Any help would be appreciated.
Thanks.

Should I upgrade manila on touch Pro?

Hello all, I have a newly acquired Sprint Touch Pro and have been seeing a full manila upgrade floating around, should I upgrade to this or is it not necessary unless using custom themes? Also will it replace/override most of the current manila files? 18Mb seems pretty big for a cab file. Sorry for my ignorance and thanks in advance.

i just upgraded to the new manila after needing a hard reset for something unrelated and i love the new manila it is a lot better. at first it was slow but after some soft resets or changes in advconfig or installing swype (not sure which) it is now just as fast as before. i would recommend it but you may need to hard reset which is what held me up before.

The new manilla's integrate themselves into the os alot more than the older ones, i would not advise installing 2.1 by cab, you are just asking for trouble and errors ect and it cant be uninstalled so once you installed it your stuck with it, either flash a new rom with the manila u want included or keep the original one, im using my own cooked rom with the original manilla, i dont need 2.1 or 2.5, neither of them were made for our device or work perfectly with it, so u mite as well use the manilla that was made for the device your using not a touch pro 2 or HD 2

Can in any way without harming my rom & slowering the system speed .. can I add tabs in the touch flo ( like calender , stock, etc )
thanks a lot in advance
I am running touchflo 2.1 (manila 2.1) installed from a cab and have no real problems at all. The only issue I have is with the Tachi dialer and that is only necessary if you wish to make calls from the people tab. If you install the 2.1 touchflo and don't like it you can use total commander and delete all the manila files and soft reset your phone. The manila files are the touchflo files and will be restored from the rom. Hope this helps
Thanxx A LOT.

No because it's in a rom.
Look here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=556498 for more info about new original HTC WM6.5 rom.
in dutty's rom its manila 2.1 + weather, so maybe it is possible to add/replace some files but alot of skills required for that...
easiest is to flash ready rom...
udk's new rom or dutty's both have weather on main screen, udk's rom is too buggy & slow to use but dutty's rom is perfect.

Flash Manilla 2.5

hey Guys!
Apparently I am running WM6.5 but not the new Manilla...
See my screen at: http://uploads.kapone.ca/jef/home.jpg
if anyone can tell me what do I need to do to get the good Manilla 2.5 or even 2.6 if its available for my CMDA - Telus - TP2
Here is what I did,
1. I installed RhodiumW CDMA Worldphone HardSPL
2. I installed MightyROM Midnight Blue
I read in many post that I need to flash rom if I wanna be on manilla 2.5...
Do I need to run again the Hard SPL ? or I just need to install a new CDMA rom ?
Anyone have one to suggest me that will work with my phone ?
Again! Thanks! I am sure my post will help a lot of Canadian like me stuck in CDAM box
regards to all of you helping us out there!

that does look like 2.5 to me and to have energy rom running, you did flash your phone
I really hope someone comes out with a radio rom that allows us to unlock the HSPA 1900 access (since the chip can do it according to its specs) with the new network launching today\tomorrow.
How is the rom? any things lacking that telus had installed? an problems with telus? is it crashier or faster than the stock telus rom?
MightyROM is 6.5 but Manila 2.1. You need to find a 6.5 ROM that includes Manila 2.5, one of the NRG ROMs has 2.5, I believe the LEO ROM. Mighty Mike is on Telus so I have to assume it works fine on Telus. He's also rumored to be coming out with a 2.5 ROM in the future, but for now all he's got is 2.1
Yes, you're definitely using the new version of Manilla 2.1 and not 2.5. I use NRGZ's Leo rom and I love it. It's winmo 6.5 and manilla 2.5.
Be aware that 2.5 is BETA and will have bugs. the roms with manilla 2.1 are much more stable. Don't get me wrong, I LOVE the Leo rom, there's just a couple of little things that aren't quite right (such as having to use winmo messaging if you want to MMS).

Do I need a CDMA ROM
Thanks for everything guys. this is exactly what I was looking for as an answer.
Do I need a CDMA ROM to fit on it ? or any rom found on the Rhodium blog can be use ?
if you have a link regarding the rom you think I should be using please post it.
Again thanks for helping me on that. I can feel i'm getting addicted to flashing my tp2....
cheers guys!
I haven't checked the Rhodium Rom section here, so I could be wrong, but it used to be only GSM versions. To be safe, if you want 6.5 and 2.5, use the rom found at this link.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?t=86489
Also, once you've flashed it, check out the FAQ here.
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showpost.php?p=1280306&postcount=18
By the way, he has 2 different builds. Version 21864 is more stable and based on winmo 6.5. Version 23081 is based on an early beta of winmo 6.5.1 so it's not as stable and has a few more bugs. Not to say it's not worth a good flash though.
Good luck, and enjoy.
Kevin
many thanks!
thats awesome.
this community rocks.
regards,
if you dont like all the blue there is another leo (2.5) rom for you. while at ppcgeeks in the cdma tp2 upgrades. check out the juicy rom. hes also on telus
woot woot
this works perfectly.
i got my phone up and running. this is awesome.
I hope my post will help others!
best regards to all of you guys

How do I upgrade my TouchFLO 3d 2.1 to Sense 2.5?

How do I upgrade my TouchFLO 3d 2.1 to Sense 2.5?
The topic pretty much says it all. I REALLY want to install CHT, since it has all the features that I would die for in touchflo, but I'm running the firmware that first shipped with the TouchPRO 2. Windows Mobile 6.1 and TouchFLO 2.1. I really dont want to flash my rom if I don't absolutely have too.
Where can I find information on installing Sense 2.5 on my device? If I can't do it without flashing, what rom would you recomend?
This requires a ROM flash.
I suspect you may be using a Sprint device given the versions you list, but can't be sure.
ROM recommendations won't be useful to you unless people at an absolute minimum know what hardware you have (GSM? CDMA?) and what features you value in a ROM apart from Sense 2.5.
you should go over to PPCgeeks.com and look in the upgrade section for CDMA or GSM TP2 ROMs... you can read up on flashing, which is pretty easy to do, and they go into detail in individual threads regarding what the different chefs cook into their ROMs... there are a ton of 2.5 ROMs out there...
I'm too new to post a link, but over at ppcgeeks (dotCom) there is a thread (112066) titled "HTC Sense 2.5 cab ? "
It might be rather useful. I haven't tried it because I'm pretty happy with the stock VZW 6.5 sense 2.1 (for now, lol).
