Good day guys and girls. I am new here. I have a Touch HD on the Telstra network but i am thinking of joining the ranks of WM6.5 and touchflo 2.1. I have read the flashing roms for dummies thread but there where a few things i wanted to ask. I currently use the phone for emails and internet everyday and i am just worried that if i flash a new rom i wont be able to use those features on the NEXT G network or get NEXT G coverage. Secondly is there a certain rom i need to use in order to use the phone on Telstra or will any of the wm6.5 roms work. I am new to this and really hesitant to do anything until i know everything would be good, but also itching to go to wm6.5. Any help from you pro's would be mutch appreciated. Thank you.

I use a Telstra phone and have found there is no problem with any of the ROMs as far as G 3G or any of the services go.
So if i was to use the Dusk rom would i just follow the Dummies guide to flashing 1.56+ roms. Any help is much apreciated.

Yes thats where we all started. You need to go through that guide step by step. You only have to go through that process once and then like the rest of us you can Flash to you hearts content.
Will it better for me to use the uspl method, I dont really understand it all but from reading it, it seems to be the safer method. Any help is aprecciated.

Yeah, USPL is "safer" in the sense you keep your Stock SPL... which basically means if somehow you brick your phone, they won't be able to tell that you've been playing around with it.
Ok so if i decide to go ahead where can i download these from.
(USPL1a) RUU_Signed_Blackstone_stockSPL154.zip
(USPL1b) HSPLWrapper_Blackstone_156OliNex.zip
(USPL1c) USPL GUI v 2.5.zip
(USPL1d) A 1.56+ based rom- Dutty's latest rom linked here
(USPL1e) BlackstoneRUUWrapper.zip
Thank you all very much for your help. I just want to make sure i do this right the first time.
Im sorry i didnt see the downloads in post 1. I just have another question. In the step USPL1D can i use EnergyROM_BLACKSTONE_20090816_StandardM2.5.rar instead of what is labeled in the dummies guide to flashing? Any help is much appreciated.
Answer to your query, yes you can use EnergyROM. Rom listed in guide was just an example.
Your title query has already been answered. All roms should work on Telstra network. Dummies guide thread already exists for guidance and help on flashing. Post all related queries in relevent thread.

Hi,
I am tempted to flash a custom ROM onto my Xperia, but before i do that, i have a couple of questions that i hope someone here might be able to answer.
1. Is there a guide available that explains everything step-by-step? I.e. is flashing of ROM the only thing to do? or are there other tasks required like flashing SPL or something like that? (I literally have no idea what SPL and similar terms mean either)
2. If after having played with a custom ROM, i plan to revert back to the original stock ROM and settings... is that possible?
Best Regards.

You need to do search my friend. Whatever your question is, try to search and you will find the answer.
In your case, if you like to flash your device to windows 6.5, you'll first need to do HardSPL. You can find the "how to" in this thread and this thread.
Then, you can choose and download any ROM you like. There are plenty of choices.
Just follow the instruction to flash the ROM....I think every instruction is clearly enough to understand.
I did search and i downloaded the hardSPL program but I didnt use it because it was going to download an older rom than the one i have right now.
How do you guys know which ROM to use? I just want the latest one.

that's your decision you got a huge variety of ROM in the forum from different chefs... so check out, read and see what is better for you and your phone... GL !
I guess ill do a mini mini mani mo and pick one. thanks!
Oh one more question, so why is the Hard SPL trying to revert my current rom to an old one. Is that what I have to do?

before flash any custom ROM you have to do hard-spl JUST ONCE THOUGH, have fun
hey!
1. you got the latest update for your ROM from SE. that means you are on a "official ROM" or "stock" ROM.
it's suppose to be running on windows mobile 6.1.
2. there is NO "official" 6.5 ROM for the X1 (yet)
3. when you see ROMs saying they are running on 6.5 they are called "custom" ROMs.
custom roms, as the word suggests, are customized by great chefs here on xda to maximize the capabilities of X1 and windows mobile,
that includes the latest updates either from SE or windows (or HTC)
4. there are also 6.1 custom roms
5. the date any custom rom is released suggests it is the latest.
6. there are different "cooks" who may release the same build/update
my suggestion:
try each rom one at a time. sooner or later you'll find one that will suit your taste.
(i think this is the norm here on xda ). and imho, this is how it should be.
if you want the latest agent_47 will not fail you. he's almost always has the latest updates.
if you want a simple & stable rom go for jack's. (with multi-language support)
for pure X1 & wm, look for spikegotti's rom or gtrab's
later you can try itje's, rotastrain's, killer8nl's, etc which are all great.
i hope that clears your confusion. enjoy!
be sure to hard-spl first.
aww you guys are so helpful. thanks im sorry but i will be sending you a PM if i need help. lol

hello i am sort of a noob on flashing phones, i just got my T-MOBILE Touch Pro 2, im very pleased with it, i downloaded the EURO WM 6.5 and..3G wouldnt work..and my keyboard mapping was wrong, i switched back to TMO Stock ROM, now i am look for the best stable fast running fun ROM,
ive seen many impressive ROMS outhere, but again im a noob, iam looking for a ROM that supports TMO 3G as in CoralSprings FL i have full 3G signal, please i would really appriciate your help, thanks in advance..
It all depends on what you install and what you use your phone way. Best way to find out is to read ROM threads, and flash and enjoy. Just make sure you have HardSPL before you flash custom ROM.
Mate I'm a complete noob as well.....
You just posted the same thread two days ago.
People posted help there.... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=572868&highlight=tmobile+keyboard
now go here... http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550559&highlight=tmobile+keyboard
It has all the T-mobile keyboard fixes.
Now you can use any ROM you like.
Don't ask people for the "best" or "most stable" ROM. Cause nobody knows what "the best" or "most stable ROM" is. It will depend on your own personal taste and situation. Give 'em a try and find something you like.
Oh and finally. I started on the Touch Pro 2 a couple of days ago. Had never used a WINMO phone before, never flashed, applied a cab, or anything. Although I've managed to do all of the above with a bit or "searching" and reading of this forum. Use the "Search" tool, it's excellent. And only ask a question if you've searched and searched and searched and still can't find the answer.
Best of luck
HDSPL then flash them all and you will find one that fits for you.
ikno guys, i already hardspl, but idont want to keep flashing and flashing, but yea isee what you guys mean, im downloading the energy rom, looks pretty cool,and alot support for TMO users,

No problem, that's the way to start and that's how we all started.
ooo yeah i had 4gten bout that post, sorry,
so i also read that the 3G depends on ur radio, can u guys help with that? please,
I haven't heard about that because my 3G worked right out the box with stock radio.
But I have the latest HTC and it seems to be working real well. Also read positive posts about it so give it a try.
Link: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=4360836&postcount=2
BTW, their is NO WAY to return back to the stock radio once you flashed a new radio. UNTIL someone finds a way to release it to us.
wel mine too, but when i had the custom rom, it didnt work.
Please find your own ROM, today's best might nott be tomorrows best, and you might not like what someone else likes.

You are still running a stock 6.0 rom, check the wiki to upgrade your phone to a stock 6.1 rom.
If it is custom roms that you want to delve into, then you can't do better than stylez, but you are going to have to unlock and Hardspl your phone first, before you can flash a custom rom.
Read and understand here first.

Thank you denco7. Yes i'm going to try the custom rom suggested. Just trying to work up the nerve to get started. I'm sure with the great people here in XDA that i will be just fine. I've modded an lg incite, but it was way simpler than the Tilt. o'well....i need to stop procrastinating and just do it!!
ok....just did it. now i have stylez black. now i'll spend the rest of the evening tweaking!!
i have another question already......how do i lock my phone now? thanks!

Take a good delve in thread there is a S2U2 not newest version but a stable release pimped you can also just use long press end to use default lock.
ok...i found it. thank you all for your patience and knowledge. my phone is now a lot cooler.
