I am entirely new to this, can anyone point me in the direction of some reading material for upgrading to windows mobile 6.1? I have the HTC touch and want windows mobile 6.1. Any step for step on how to use these roms on this site? Thanks in advance.

There is a whole bunch of step by steps already posted.
For a stock Sprint Touch (not previously upgraded or loaded with cooked ROM), just for 6.1 there is only 1 step - have you phone connected and run the latest ROM (see sticky). That is what I did.
If you want to preserve the info from your device you will need to back it up, and restore once you are done. There are links in the real step by step instructions.

looks good.
Are you planning to release an updated version based on the new sprint firmware anytime soon?

Thank You

I upgraded to the Sprint OEM ROM, and am now trying to install the full version. I downloaded the files and ran the Rom Updater. It connects and goes through the quick wizard but during the update the progress never gets above 0% and eventually fails with a connection error. I have rebooted my computer, the phone, reinstalled activesync. What am I missing?????

You wouldn't happen to be using Parallels Desktop on a Mac, would you? This happened to me using my mac and parallels desktop with winxp, switched to a regular pc running xp and ran just fine.

Worse, I didnt read the initial posts properly and did not run the Vogue Unlocker. One I did that it was a breeze. Now I just need to find a good program to use with the GPS.

Live Search isn't bad, gives step by step with "beep" announcements to tell you you are approaching a turn (if you want something already on your phone). For phone based maps and voice announcements, I downloaded iGo 2006 (torrent), haven't installed it yet; there is a post in here somewhere where someone broke down the pros and cons of all the available GPS software. Try a search, though I've learned to hate searching this forum as it seems hard to find the best result in everything that comes back.

For you who are still running this ROM, someone PLEASE do me a favor--copy out an alert sound file (in the \windows directory, .wav I think) named dblbeep (double beep, or something similar) and send it to me (PM for email). If it makes it easier, I will take all the .wav and .mid from the \windows directory. DH's new ROM does not include this file and it is just the right sound for what I'm looking for. Many thanks for any help!

Are you going to make a update to this rom based off the new official sprint release?
