After I did a hard reset on my phone, my ROM version is now 2.09 and the ROM date is 6-14-07. I had 2.14 for a week before I did a hard reset and now I'm just over a week in with the older ROM. I really don't notice ANY differences from before, well, I think for some reason it's eating more RAM but that's about it. Sprint Music Store is alive and kickin, but I don't use it and probably never will. So, how did my ROM version/date change????

Doing a hard reset will never change the ROM version of the phone. If you saw those numbers than i guess your phone had some modified files on it that made it look like it was running that version. All a hard reset does is clear the user area though so it goes back to it's ROM state. That is probably why you aren't noticing much.

I really wonder what the deal was with my phone when I first got it. I wanted to update the ROM outta the box, but it already had the 2.14 ROM with 8-12-07 (or 8-20-07, I don't remember) so I didn't bother. Days later, I did a hard reset and just the other day I noticed a different ROM and date. I know FOR A FACT the ROM/Date on the phone now isn't what it was outta the box....

It almost sounds like you got used phone and someone else was messing with it...

Didn't you just post this and ImCoKeMan replied to you?

Oh well yes he did.

There is no way for that to happen, that is why they are called ROMs (Read Only Memory). If your device came with the v2.14 ROM (which isn't even available for Sprint) and you peform a hard reset, then the ROM version would still be v2.14 - unless some files were modified only to make it look like it was running v2.14, as mentioned before.

Well, like I said happened did happen. I may not be a PPC "geek" but I am computer savy and I know what I saw. So I'm taking it as one of two things, my phone was previously owned and they were fucking with it OR I somehow managed to get a program that would change that for whatever reason it may. ::shrugs:: Ohhh well!!

Wasn't this ROM supposed to have broken the hardware keyboard in Windows Live?

I just got my Mogul today and my keyboard works fine... it came stock with this ROM.

Maybe it's something about upgrading?

The new ROM is due out in two weeks:
