Windows Mobile 6.5
 

ok i am going to get a touch Pro 2 in the mail. and i was wondering where can i down load the official download for wm 6.5? i found it on HTC support site but last time i flashed my ROM there my txt messaging got all messed up.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

There is no verizon 6.5 official update for the pro2. Right now you need to flash a custom rom to get it. That would be a GSM rom you downloaded, do not flash it.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

OK is Verizon going to come out with a update?

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

at some point it should, but I just flashed wm6.5 rom and works great,

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

Some one should do a youtube video of this. Not that good with written instruction.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

Yup, only thing I ever flashed on my phonewas the camera. lol

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

check youtube someone did 9 minute hard-spl unlocker video for CDMA. This is what you need to do before flashing custom ROM. MightyROM shows images of the steps to flashing his rom 6.5.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

Lol .. that was awesome.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

but wouldn't that void my warranty?

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

it would if you turned it in that way, but ya flash back stock 6.1 and lock it back before returning if need be.....

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

ok could someone point me in the right direction as to how to flash my ROM to a wm 6.5 ROM. and any recommendations on what ROM to flash?

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

Check the CDMA upgrade section. Its pretty simple

Download CDMA HSPL
Connect your phone via USB
Run HSPL
Download ROM
Run ROM
???
Profit

As for suggestion....check my sig ;)

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

is there a lot of bugs that i am going to have to deal with?

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

Depends on which rom you use. But each rom the users and chefs find ways to fix the bugs, with cabs or reg edits.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

ok i am gonig to do it. can i get a link?

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

Here is the CDMA TP2 Upgrades

Here is RhodiumW CDMA Worldphone HardSPL Unlocker Release

Start looking in the upgrades. Then when you feel comfortable use the RhodiumW CDMA Worldphone HardSPL Unlocker link

After that. Find a Rom and Flash it the same way you flashed the HardSPL

Does that make sense.

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

Okay, here's a dumb question from a noob: if I needed to flash it back, where would my copy of the original ROM reside - still on the phone or elsewhere? :mrgreen:

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

yup that is it

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

and if i want to flash new ROM do i just flash it or do i have to delete the other one some how?

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

when you flash a new ROM...it overwrites EVERYTHING from the previous ROM. Your data on your SD card should NOT be affected. However, your contacts, settings, etc. will be erased.

There are a number of backup options out there...from backing up wirelessly/in the cloud with ActiveSync (outlook or google), MyMobile from M$, or a program called PIMBackup that runs directly off of your sd card, there's also programs such as SPB backup that backs up almost everything such as how your phone is set up.

there are MANY things that you can do while you flash your first ROM...so...I suggest that you take some time to research the upgrade forum stickies here AND in the Touch Pro forum (while I did most of my learning and research.) Use PIMBackup as a simple way to back up your contacts (at a minimum.) Choose a ROM (recommend Mighty OR Juicy) since they are VERY popular...so not too bad as a start point. Ensure you have all that cabs for the programs that you want/already have...and flash away!

Be advised, flashing ROMs can be addicting, rewarding and frustrating...at different times and all the time! Remember that not you'll encounter bugs...but rest assured that you'll receive better technical support here at PPC Geeks than you EVER would from your carrier (unless its carrier specific crap!)

You have the links to HSPL (unlocks your phone for flashing a ROM) and you have links to the upgrade forum...one last thing is not all the paperclips at the far end of the title of each thread. If you click on the paperclip...you'll see ALL the attachments that were every posted in that thread. It'll help you find the cabs that you may want to have (be it tweaks OR apps.)

any more questions, I'll be glad to assist!

Re: Windows Mobile 6.5
 

do you have to delete the Hard Spl as well or does that really matter?
