Will the Touch Pro be updated?
 

I'm looking to get my touch pro replaced because there are cracks in the chrome. I've heard that the touch pro might be updated with a new version, and I was wondering if this is just a rumor or whether there really will be an updated version coming soon. Should I wait a little while longer before having the phone replaced at the Sprint store?

wheres the info. on this? i just got a replacement a week ago and the new one i got hasbad chrome, now they (sprint) want to send me another one.

Re: Will the Touch Pro be updated?
 

Are you meaning hardware or software? The only rumor I've heard about an upgrade is in the software, a new ROM is being developed, and in fact has already been leaked for the Diamond. The new PRO ROM is supposed to be based on the same tech as the leaked Diamond.

I think the most awaited update would be a new radio version.

my second tp i git a week ago does have a diff. rom, not much diff. though.

The Replacement i got which was 3 days ago had a different answer screen

Re: Will the Touch Pro be updated?
 

ummmm that means you have slide to answer? please dump that rom so i can take a look.

he may just have gotten another fellow ppcgeeks custom TP

Check the radio thread in the updates, there is a new one from the leaked Diamond ROM.

Re: Will the Touch Pro be updated?
 

As far as updated to a new device, that is not going to be happening anytime soon, even with the released 2009 lineup from HTC you will be waiting to Q4 most likely. For Software, the updates will likely be coming soon, they did just have a leaked ROM update for the Diamnod so ours should not be far behind.

Should we be concerned about official ROM updates disabling our Windows Mobile tweaks? Would they have to be reinstalled or would they be made obsolete because so much has changed?

I guess I'm trying to understand the difference between a ROM and an OS--is it like the difference in a PC between the BIOS on the motherboard memory and Windows/Linux or whatever you run?

Re: Will the Touch Pro be updated?
 

Any ROM upgrade is basically a complete reformat of your internal drive, so yes anything you have done to your phone will be gone.

Re: Will the Touch Pro be updated?
 

Interesting. So in some cases a ROM upgrade might actually make things worse/less desirable for people's phones? Usually the trade-off would be worth it I think.

Would it erase your unique data also (contacts, text messages)? I did some OTA upgrades on my last phone and they left the data alone, but it wasn't a WM phone anywhere near this complex, of course.

Re: Will the Touch Pro be updated?
 

Yes but you can back up contacts and text msg with spb backup or sprite backup(I have sprite) and any reg hack you put in can be rewrote back in. Most of the times in my Opinion rom updates are worth the extra time to install apps/programs and back ups.

Re: Will the Touch Pro be updated?
 

OK, but here we are talking about OFFICIAL Sprint/HTC updates they would push over the air. NOT the cooked ROMs offered on PPCGeeks or other sites.

The official ROM updates would reformat people's phones including the unique data? I just still find that hard to believe.

Re: Will the Touch Pro be updated?
 

yes its like hard resetting your phone. you need to back up everything before updating to a custom from or an official rom

Re: Will the Touch Pro be updated?
 

You will flash the OFFICIAL SPRINT rom to you touch pro which will erase everything off your phone. You phone will be bone stock just like you got it out the box just with the new rom. Just get spb backup or sprite backup(I have sprite) and back up the things you need but not the system data cause once you back that up and back it up to your touch pro it will throw you back to the old rom
