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 ?
Hi everybody.
Just thought Id let you know that I recently got my WOWPad, and except for a few software glitches, after a bit of tinkering with, have now been able to:
1: Put on a 128GB Memory stick (yes GB not MB)
2: Run internet from my USB 3G Stick, with broadband speed, not GPRS
Im currently in the UK, and internet access is through Vodafone.
I will put on here at some stage the tools and guide on what i did to get it running
Wopad woes....
Same boat.. countless bug after bug.. would be great if we could get everything we needed to roll our own rom for this device. These god damn chinatab makers wanna sell ya trash, then flat out refuse to release the sources needed to make your purchased trash useful...
Seems not much pride has been taken in the OS port.. But hey, what can you expect from people working for half a grain of rice a day..
Hi
Any details of how to you got this working?
Thanks

ok - I have a new Samsung tab2... P3100 - sadly, it is from China and I cannot seem to access anything I want, despite vpn and us simcard - I am sure there are a million ways around this if I spoke or read Mandarin... I don't. I'm guessing I need to Root and ROM, so am about to take the plunge ... I have today and tomorrow to mess around.
Fingers crossed.
Is this a bad idea?
Cheers

Ok - I think I have installed and rooted ... I think... Now I am downloading something form India - and hopefully putting in something new? right??? Sorry for such newbie questions. I am such a newb that it took me long time to realize that volume up and down seem to be the opposite to what is expected and described everywhere...

And the update ... I don;t know why, but the wholeROM won't go over to the SDcars via the usb ... I am bluetoothing it over ... I am such a noob, right? But over usb using the PTP (MTP won't discover the device) it cuts out just before the full file gets through. I have not long to go till the complete download ... then I should be able to internally just switch it over, surely? sigh. Wish there was someone out there to help.
Make sure the tab2 is Samsung genuine not a copy
Read as much as possible before doing anything not to hard brick it (nearly unrecoverable)
If the language is chinese try to flash via odin 1.85 for windows a stock firmware which carry your mother language found in www.samfirmware.com
If you are rooted you could try cm10 for 3100 (not any other) from www.teamhacksung.org , i use it now marvellous
Regarding copy to sd card try to use microsd adapter and sd card reader to copy firmwares and files to device
install kies for drivers and connection to pc and odin found in main samsung site
Sent from Galaxy S2 or Galaxy Tab2
Thanks
Yee haw. I really didn't know what I was doing, except I knew it was a genuine product. Woot!
Ok, So I had to stop trying to get JB on it, but I managed to get the ROM? (maybe that's what it is called?) changed to an Indian on that I guess doesn't have the same internet restrictions. I now have 4.04 . Maybe I had that before, maybe not. But I can now definitely use google play with and without the VPN. Downloaded heaps of apps that I'd had on my HTC and am pretty happy overall. Have Feat vpn, Swype, and dolphin that make my Android life awesome.
My one sadness (I'm pretty tough to please) is that there is this app called Skritter that I've been using on my wife's iPad... Although the app says android BETA as well - no - it doesn't even come close to existence past Android 2.something. Skritter have given up on Android. And that saddens me, as it was the only app I had come across that really benefited my character learning I had hoped to use the 3G for this purpose almost exclusively. Sigh.
Mohamed, Bless you for responding.
For all those out there like me, who are not trained in Computer programming, there is a light (even with a Mac on boootcamp like me - I wonder if that was behind the usb driver problem). Yes, it cost me a whole day, but that was just part of the fun. So glad I didn't brick the thing too.
Actually, the process was lightning quick, except for the bluetoothing and downloading of the Large INdian ROM(?) And the inability to actuate the process due to glitches with USB and file transfers.
Also ODIN - nobody told me I needed to put in the PIT (?) file that came with something I downloaded. I stuck it in above the PDA section on ODIN and it worked... Was I supposed to I wonder??? At least the ODIN was merciful and I am ....
Absolutely amazed I managed it..:laugh:
my P3100 is made in Vietnam

So it doesn't need the PIT file popped in?
Cause it didn't work - then I popped pit file in and - bang hey presto - it worked. What is the PIT file for then?
