This is my very first time trying to put new software on my ppc. Where do I start? I saw a friend of mine had installed the new touch pro 2 software on his touch pro and he directed me here and was just trying to get some help on how to get started. Thanks

Well, welcome and I assume when you say "software" you mean a new ROM.

I assume you mean a ROM running TF3D2.
Just go to the Touch Pro upgrade section here-->

And start looking through the first posts on the ROM threads till you see something you like.
Good luck, and welcome here. You should head over here and introduce yourself officially-->

I would like to get clarification on something... If i install a new rom (like WM6.5) how would i restore my original rom? Does a hard reset work or does flashing it overwrite that rom?

Yes flashing overwrites it. So a hard reset will just reset the rom you flashed.

so how would I rip my current rom? I just want to make sure when i flash over it I will be able to return to it (I live in Canada so I don't know about the state of your original bell rom)
