Ok, I'm reading the forums and I'm wondering about what to do next to try flashing my HTC Touch with a new cooked ROM. I have a phone from CellCom in NE Wisconsin. They don't have the GPS enabled in it. I want to use it with Google maps. HTC says the chip is there, and I just need a ROM that enables it. The purchasing group CellCom purchased the phone from says "We're working on a new ROM." and when I ask CellCom about a ROM with GPS they say, "Huh?", or "a what?" so they're no help.

So what I have read so far is that I can build a ROM with the correct radio in it and other settings so that the GPS is available to software. (Yes I also understand that it probably won't be aGPS because CellCom doesn't have that yet... unless they're using some other carrier's network in the area... hmmmm)

And I also read that I can back up everything and also extract the existing ROMs, software and customization from the phone. (I would love to have a -COMPLETE- backup of the whole thing before I start...) And that there was someone who might be willing to help me extract the CellCom configs just to add it to their files.

So... first I need to find out who that someone was to see if that offer mentioned in a thread is still open.

Then I need to find out everything I can about the existing config, and if anyone else on CellCom has tried this and maybe has the ROMs I need. Then... if I cannot find the ROMs I need I need to find out if a different ROM will work and what I'll need to tweek it for CellCom's system.

SO... any advice... anyone??

Sorry for the long message, and sorry for tacking this on to the end of this thread, but it seemed like a good place to start.

Thanks! dh
