Part 1 – Real Time ROM Flashing – Windows Mobile 6.5 – TouchFLO 3d 2.5 HTC T-Mobile Touch Pro2
May 8th, 2010 | by admin |
Part 1 – Demo of ROM Updating – I show my T-Mobile HTC Touch Pro2 in real time being flashed with a “cooked ROM,” (Leo) to another ROM. Another way of saying that I am updating to a different OS or operating system.
ROM on screen is the HTC Sense (formerly HTC Leo) with the Quick Links on the Today screen.
Update: Make sure to see my video on installing the ALT function key patch to enable your T-Mobile Touch Pro2 function keys. If you do not install this, your ALT and function keys will NOT work. Video is here:

Update: Here’s a link to MS October 6 announcement of 6.5 and other applications:

Top Secret Update: Look for my video, posted on 09/29/09 that shows you how to use only your TP2 and a microSD chip to flash your phone. No cables, no ActiveSynce, no connection to your computer. I call it “microSD flashing.” Check it out, it is the easiest and fastest way to flash a ROM to your phone. You could literally flash your phone while waiting in line at the movie theater!

Out of context update: If you want to restore your TP2 back to factory (so to make a warranty claim, etc.) here is the XDA site that provides a relocker program:

Back to my post:
If you like these ROMS, better than 6.1 that is, check out the site where I got these from, thewingster.com
He has explanations and opinions on each of them and also provides the downloads.
The video starts out with Leo on the screen and going to one called “energyROM standard”. I like it because it has lots of cool applications, including fun little add-ons such as the program that makes my TP2 make sounds on sliding open and closing my keyboard. I know, a silly little add-on, but I think it’s fun.
Go to www.thewingster.com for further info and to download it. Here is the specific page on TheWingster site:
http://thewingster.com/NRGZ28.aspx
The procedure to get this OS on your Touch Pro2 is called “flashing.” While it is an easy process it can be scary your first time. Coming soon: my video on how to flash your T-Mobile Touch Pro2.

Absolutely not true. You can go back and “lock the door” so to speak.
All you need is the stock ROM I have and the “reverse hardSPL” program I have. Once done you can’t tell there was HardSPL on the TP2

Sorry, I get at least 10 requests a day for help. I don’t know about you, but I am not going to work five hours a day for free.
Amazing how many people ask for free help, like we all have nothing to do but hang out on YouTube giving tech support.

Make sure to give it a proper burial.
Seriously, what did you do, try to install a GSM ROM on a CDMA phone? That’s the fastest way to brick a phone.
