Re: Is there a official 6.5 update for touch pro 2 for sprint

I would much rather Sprint take there time getting things somewhat right on the 6.5 ROM. You have to relize that Sprint and Verizon TP2's are Global Phone, as the T-Mobile and At&T versions are not. This could play into why 6.5 hasnt been released on these two carriers. I personally think carriers should take users ideas and put them into these releases instead of doing what they want and making the customer use there ROM the way they made it. People can be pissed all they want...it's not going to change anything...and there could be legidement reasons why they are holding off...but from what I have seen on Microsoft's website is that 6.5 is supposed to be released Dec 09/Jan 2010...which is this upcoming month. So hold on and wait patiently...it will come.

Actually, T-Mobile and AT&T's ARE global phones. They both have the European frequencies in them. They do not have the CDMA that Sprint's does though.

The US Cellular, however, is identical to the Sprint version. It has the CDMA, and the GSM, exactly like Sprint's. And it shipped with WM 6.5 out of the box...

If the TP2 from US Cellular is exactly the same as Sprint, why not just copy the WM 6.5 ROM from a US Cellular phone onto a Sprint phone?

Re: Is there a official 6.5 update for touch pro 2 for sprint

It's actually better that Sprint Released it as an update for Chefs than if it was Shipped on it. It's easier/cleaner to work with using an update than it is dumping a ROM from a phone.

It's also nice we can flash back to stock 6.5 is we want to.

Although even shipped ROMs seem to be leaked now.

Re: Is there a official 6.5 update for touch pro 2 for sprint

SaltyDawg - This is true is some respects...since overseas they use GSM...but what I meant by global is that Sprints and Verizon's phone are able to do CDMA/GSM and the others are only GSM. Sprint uses the 7600a hybrid Processor while others only use the 7200 series processor...thats my only guess...but I could be mistaken on why they are waiting to release the new ROM....either way atleast Microsoft has some litarature on when it might possibly be released.

Uh, no. The US Cellular Touch Pro 2 is identical to the Sprint version. It is the same CDMA version with GSM world mode. And theirs shipped with WM 6.5 out of the box.

If it is identical, then could Sprint and VZW devices run their ROM?

Most of the cooked ROMs we have here are based off of that particular ROM.
