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 ?

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 ?
I've got a used Shift that I'd like to use as a computer only. I've already rooted and flashed on CM7 to try it out.
It was a Sprint phone, and it still connects to the Sprint network. What I want to do is remove the number that was previously programmed. I'd love to get it completely off the mobile network (including cell service), but Sprint technical support has told me that it will still connect for things like 911. But, I'd like to get the number out all the same.
Is this possible?
Here try reading this see if will help http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1144211

Hey Buddy, I guess you can go on QPST and get rid of the SPRINT data, you need your MSL so get MSL reader from the Market Not sure if it will work but you should go on QPST and delete all the sprint info. Be Careful YOU CAN BRICK YOUR PHONE
Sorry wrong forum (posted in q&a htc hero)
Pls delete
Hi,
I'm posting my question here, since i can't reply on the original thread.
Currently i'm running Elelinux-7.1-Hero-v3.6 (custom) on my HTC Hero.
First off all, great job and thank you so much for keeping the hero alive!!
Tried a lot of different roms and this one leaves the others far behind!
I do however have a small problem with wifi. The device is not "finding" my home network. It does find other networks in the area, and i have been able to log in on a friends network. But it doesnt find this particular one. Other devices (laptops, desktops) are able to connect to it, so i dont think that the issue lies with the network.
Previously i was running elelinux FROYO_2.2.1_Final_Android_Stock (special edition) and did not have this problem.
Is there anyone with the same/a similar problem? Does anyone have any idea how to resolve this?
Dont know if it matters, its an assus N-router.
Thank you
Anybody know any patch who really make work the wifi d hoc connections on any of the roms available until now???
When i try connect nothing happen, in the wireless ad hoc networks marked with a * on the network list.
Sorry by poor English, and thank you community.
Which ICS ROM are you using? Is it stock?
I have tried ALL ICS roms available on the Development area, but until now, anyone developer have take a look at this, only in the Bluetooth tethering, who dont work for me cause i use a Nokia 5800 to provide Internet to my Xoom.

my friend there are a couple of threads already opened prior to yours asking the same question. Lets do a little better searching and maybe you should ask your question in one of their threads so we can centralize this issue. Believe me you are not the only one inquiring about this....
Thx
Hi,
I got a silly problem with my Skyrocket. i am using it in India currently and my Data package allows me to Tether. but since the Skyrocket goes through AT&T it wont let me tether. I was wondering if there is a work around for this or if there is any good tethering app that doesnt need Root or any software installed on the PC.
Thank you

Hello!
Please describe the state of your device in detail. Rom, Radio, any mods etc. Put it in your signature if you don't want to type it every time you post.
Once that is done, always search first. "insert question keyword here"+xda @ google or use XDA's own search. Use keywords in your search. This question is not new and has been answered multiple times before.
Depending on what rom you're on these might be of use:

http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=2271603&highlight=tethering
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1528884&highlight=tethering
I haven't tested any of the above solutions and I know nothing about them, I just used search. Reply in those threads if you want more info.
Personally I avoid AT&T roms like the plague. Because of the limitations (like the one you're encountering) and because of the bloatware/adware that come with AT&T roms. I recommend EMBRYO or Rogers roms if you want a TouchWiz/stock-based environment.
