so im thinking of trading my blackberry storm for a g1 but i don't want to get a data plan. i had a g1 when they first came out i hated having to have a what can i do i can flash rom but im kind of new to it im currently on my htc fuze any help would be appreciated thanks in advance
Search will give you the information you need. I believe there's a way to bypass the initial sign in so that you can root then install a custom ROM... but afaik, T-mobile will require you to get a data plan and pester you till you do. I do think that with a custom ROM you can do the initial sign in via wifi...

You only need to sign in on the first boot after a wipe, and only if you have a carrier-customized build. Builds based on ADP1 (or any other engineering build) have a "Skip sign in" option. Then you can enter, set up your wifi and then sign in from there.
thanks dont really understand ill figure it out i mostly catch on quick

I ended up bricking a co-workers Wing yesterday and after some internal research, found out that there is a recovery rom that is developed by tmobile to reinstall the original oem rom. I am working with internal departments to allow the rom to be available legally right now. Prod development has the rom currently on t-mobile's intranet. Hopefully they will allow us to use it and essentially make it available to the general public.
No more bricked wings!!

Well that sounds good, please keep us posted.
Incidently it isn't nice to tease the animals . . . .
Well, I am just looking at the legal concerns of uploading the rom without express permission. Maybe I could do so on my home pc.
I now have a copy of the tmo wing RUU but I am trying to get tmo to release it to the public before I send it anywhere.

Just looking to try some different ROMs out, but I have no reliable way of backing out if something screws up. I've tried taking dumps but have been unsuccessful.
How'd you get t-mobile to release it to you in the first place? I'll gladly call up and get a copy for myself if I knew what to ask for without sounding like I want to void the warranty.
Xavier6303,... I would really like to get a copy of the t-mobile wing ruu. I bought a phone from an ex-t-mobile employee over ebay, and the bluetooth modem does not work correctly,... I eventually got though to t-mobile's level 3 support and they said my ROM version was old but could not give me the new one. Said I needed to replace the phone.
I have ROM version 4.10.531.3 WWE, dated 03/15/07,... he said the latest t-mobile has is 4.27....
What version do you have? Can I get it from you,... Pretty Please.
What!?!?!? They have a NEW rom and haven't released it? With all the problems this ROM has they are sitting on it?

To my knowledge this is the stock ROM that comes installed on the wing, not an upgrade.
Does anyone else have it or know how to obtain it from tmobile? What could we ask for that would make them give it to us without making it sound like we're going to do something that might void the warranty?
Edit: Sorry. Just realized that I had pretty much already asked this... long week... lol

You need to call T-mobile and request the Unlock code by giving them you IME or just by it online from some trusted source ~20$.

Can you get into recovery? turn the phone off then hold down the power + home button. If you can, just do a factory reset and see if it helps. What did you do before the problem started?

That still doesn't answer the question. What were you trying to do (ex. flashing a rom, flashing spl, etc.....) If you cant get into recovery or bootloader you have a paperweight.

If all you did was try to flash the rom check the MD5sum and make sure it was a complete download and then try to flash again. Can you still get into recovery or bootloader?
no i can't even get into the recovery or bootloader, i think i'am just going to have to bite the bullet and buy a new phone. unless rogers can fix it for me for a price,lol......
Did you go straight to 4.2.5 or did you have a previous version of Cyanogenmod? You probably didn't flash the HTC image first. read the first page of the Cyanogen thread.
I have a HTC Vogue (100) w/WM6.1 that a friend gave me and have been considering Flashing over to MetroPCS. I know the phone will do talk/text and even though MetroPCS says no DATA, I see people have enabled that as well with flashed ROMs. So now i'm just a bit confused as to the proper steps to take:
1) Do I unlock/flash the phone before or after MetroPCS flashes it to their system?
2) If MetroPCS assumes no DATA do I have to convince them to put me on a DATA plan anyway in order to set up DATA?
Sorry for what may seem to others as basic knowledge but I could quite figure this stuff out - information overload.
Thanks,

To flash the device, follow the instructions here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=592964

You have to have data from MetroPCS in order to get data to work (the $40 plan includes it already)
Good luck!

I'm sorry. I don't understand how that answers my question.
You can flash the ROM before you bring it to MetroPCS if you want. I don't think it matters to them what ROM is on the phone for them to activate it, as long as it's a Windows Mobile ROM and not Android.

Ok, update:
Successfully flashed the imcokeman 2.31 bootloader and flashed the ROM as linked to above by egzthunder1. No problems so far as I can tell. I have not been to MetroPCS to activate it yet. The only thing i've played with so far is GPS but I am not getting any satellites. I did change the Settings->Personal->Location to ON from 911 but still no go.

Actually, it does matter because Houdini soft will likely not recognize anything above 6.1 (phone codes simply will not work from a custom rom with a custom skinned dialer). If you successfully unlocked it, there is no need to re-lock it or anything like that. Just flash back to stock, and then take it to MetroPCS. Once the device has been configured, you can switch roms. This is necessary because most MPCS customer reps are not familiar with any of these.
Thanks for the info, that's what I was looking for. Now to just locate that stock rom and away we go.
Thanks again!

Just a quick update. I downloaded .40 unlocker and the stock Verizon ROM and successfully flashed my Vogue back to stock. It did hit a hickup erroring out at 8% on the first try but the software was able to recover correctly. I don't recall the exact error but I know it has to do with the USB connection. When I unplugged/replugged the phone it didn't switch back to the USB connection (on the phone), it stayed on Serial. Second attempt worked perfectly.
I still haven't made it to MetroPCS to flash the phone yet though.

Not I'm aware of. HD2 is specifically for T-Mobile and ATT is on the different band. I'm sure the phone will work fine, but I don't think you will have the full features.
But flashing any ROM and changing the APN would work I guess.
Good luck
I have an unlocked HD2 and I'm using the ROM in my sig (it's a link) I'd recommend that one, it's just superb and the chap who updates it (Tyween) is really on the ball and releases a new version every so often so that the latest updates are always available.
It's not so much the ROM that'll dictate how well your carrier will work, but the radio. Have a look around, there may be one that works especially well with AT&T
Thank you I will copy the values you have in your signature
No worries I hope you have as much enjoyment out of it as I do

Hi all,
........
..
.
There are so many ROMs available, and there are two options for an HD2, SD build and NAND Build; SD implies just copy paste on a the ROM on the SD card and you are done to boot. And NAND ones are a little hard to install but good on the long run

MMS and Mobile Data configuration settings were automatically downloaded to the phone when I plugged in my AT&T SIM.

This may be a noob question but in order for me to use the HD2 on my ATT acct. Does the rom have to be an unlocked rom? Or do i have to mod a file(s) on the phone/sd card.

Nope, just install it and go. The phone does have to be sim unlocked in order to work on AT&T though. I have Rafdroid Froyo on my HD2 and it works great on AT&T.
OK i finally understood how to add nand android to the hd2 and i have tried 2 version niether of them recognize at&t as a network. I went to available settings under networks and and it gave me at&t as an option but when i selected it. the prompt Registering on at&t then it said unable to connect to this network at this time try again later
is there another setting i should be changing do i need to re enter my sim unlock code if so where do i do that

Currently latest binary there isnt any unlock for but I am working on it some. It is one of the more difficult ones to do due to Sprints new security. Only one team so far (at least made public) has done unlocks for it. If you have older binary builds there are some unlocks available on clangsm forum. Might check there.
Well not so much of a challenge anymore I guess on this one. The Yemen fellows have managed to unlock this long ago and now it seems everyone has a solution for it heard so much for Sprint's latest RSA haha

Hey there nice to meet you. Pretty much the 337 P can be rooted if you have cheated PRP for it that is about the easiest way to go about it. You can also get the boot image and go ahead and use it with magisk in a Flash the boot image back get it rooted and then use something like AAP ke flasher to flash TW RP but again you would need a custom as men are built in mine is not finish it. However you will run into some issues if you do the ladder as they will need to be signed images at least I have came to find out. And remember Ruth should be treated all up most respect otherwise you will have a phone that is vulnerable to just about everything in the world haha. Take care
