But my tp always shows the rom version as ATR 3.0. Its listed that way on the RUU before i flash and on the device information. Has this ever happened to anyone before?

i believe it's because the ATR flashed the boot splash, which only the shipped rom does (and a couple other random custom roms). Just flash back to sprint shipped rom and it should clear that up. then you can flash back to whatever custom rom you want.

My main concern was being able to change it in case needing to return for a warranty issue. It wont have any effect on how the roms run will it?

i doubt it has any ill affect on your phone. Just flash the sprint shipped rom real quick like i suggested and it should clear it up. then you can go back to flashing custom roms.

I flash my ROM but for some reason WM 6.5 will not allow me to dail out unless the number is in my contact list. Is anyone else having this problem

This is the thread on How To Flash. Please post your problem in the rom thread where you downloaded it.

see post 50 for indepth detaild instructions provided by egoldy

How to Flash Via PC:

1.download the ruu.zip attachment
2.unzip to your desktop
3.then in the newly created RUU directory add the rom of your choice - (copy the RUU_Signed.nbh to desktop\RUU)
4.Place phone in bootloader mode (power button while holding volume down button)
5.open the ROMUpdateUtility.exe
6.follow the RUU on screen instructions from there

If that fails please trying these directions (thanks sn0b0ard)

1. Establish active sync connection (this is the most important step).
2. Copy the RUU_signed.nbh into the RUU folder.
3. Run ROMUpdateUtility.exe and follow the steps on screen to flash ROM.
4. Once the phone reboots, go through Windows Mobile setup and let it finish.
5. Perform a hard reset (hold power, volume down, and center d-pad).
6. Complete the Windows Mobile setup and start using your new ROM!


Flash from microSD Card (Thanks to MadlyAlive):

1. Make sure you backup anything that is necessary to your day to day operations! At a minimum, please perform an ActiveSync to Outlook or your Exchange server prior to flashing!
2. Rename the custom ROM NBH file from RUU_Signed.nbh to RAPHIMG.nbh
3. Copy RAPHIMG.nbh to the root of your microSD Card.
4. Hold the Volume Down and Power button simultaneously. While you're still holding those 2 buttons, press the reset button with your stylus.
5. When your Touch Pro tells you to do so, press the power button to begin the flash process. If you do not get the message to press the power button to flash, there is a mistake in the name of the NBH file or you do not have the file at the root of your microSD card.
6. When flashing is complete, perform a soft reset.
