welcome
First off welcome. Your phone can do alot of things. You need to do some research before anyone will really help you. There is alot of stuff on here and on ppcgeeks. Just do a google search of ppc and you will get there. your phone is called the touch or sometimes called vogue. if you want to release the phone you need to get an unlocker and then flash a custom ROM. I have never done it but it seems easy. just be careful to read read read before you do it cause it can brick your phone. there are lots of fun aps that work with your phones oem rom. just look around and play with it. your phone has gps but verizon has it locked down for now so you will need to unlock to get gps. your phone does not have wifi.

thanx il get right on to it

Easy does it. Let him get to know WinMo first.
why? pretty soon Android will be able to fully replace winmo
totally lost
like the first person in this thread, i dont know crap. and i say that in all honesty. have been searching for a tutorial on how to flash roms etc. I have a touch as well and would also like to upgrade and unlock to use the GPS. have looked but did not see a tutorial. any help would be appreciated. thanks
Just had my HTC Touch 3G on the UK orange network for a few days and have been trying to set it up for my personal tastes etc...
The Orange UNIQUE function, is there a way to just have WiFi on or off, not the hybrid thing that orange seem to want you to use. On my previous HTC phone , a Titan, I just stopped GPRS connectivity and used WiFi but with the UNIQUE setup it doesn't seem possible to do this..
The contacts list, is there anyway to show the list with first name FIRST... I have tried to find a option in the setup menus but have not managed it yet..
Most if my contacts are on first name terms.. I know to look for Joe, Fred or Sally but trying to remember the last name or if I just saved as Joe @Garage etc is a pain for me...
Strange but if I view a individual contact, it appears in the correct order, First name first, last name last etc...
Any thoughts, help etc would be appreciated on a otherwise (so far anyway !) very good device..
Thanks Phil-w
The unique thing is bobbins, I contacted orange about it and the lady in customer services basically admitted that it meant I wouldn't be able to use wifi for normal data connections! So I took the plunge and flashed it to standard HTC ROM, all is well now! I would recommend you do the same!
Yeah as jmrenshaw said just flash your phone with htc rom.Those operator roms are blocking many things on the phone.Good luck.
Where can I get the standard ROM from HTC
Hi everyone,
I'm having a nightmare of a time with Orange's changes to the phone. I want to have the phone as it would be if I bought it offline. Please help me with this.
I assume I need to flash the ROM to the standard ROM but where do I get a hold of this and how do I flash the ROM? And would I be able to get back to Orange's setup in case need to warranty purposes?
Any help would be appreaciated.

What you can do is: put first names in "File as" field, then the contact list will display first names. "Files as" will default to last name.

Yes I have seen the thread you suggest, so many thanks however, as I say in my seperate thread - it is not the "reading" of the tutorial but it is the actual carrying out of the advice because of my physical disabilities.

I've managed to do what you want to do by using one of the dumps posted on the forum here and converting that into a ROM and then flashing the phone with that ROM. Its quite straight forward but I guess you're asking if someone can do that for you. Where abouts are you based?

Yes thanks, I am asking if someone will do it for me - sorry if I was vague but get a bit embarrassed! I have to use my mouth to type so using a "Touch" phone is great but when it comes to more intricate and complicated tasks, I am afraid it gets too difficult. I will be happy to pay of course - postage as well as paying for the job to be done. I just want to get rid of the Orange branded software as I find their software is too "fidly" and I also find that normal access to wifi is easier for me when not using Orange's silly "Unique Manager".
I am based in the UK.
EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU
Thanks Azahidi,
Slowly going through all the cantacts entries, pity there is no GLOBAL way to change the name order. (Unless I have missed it !!)

Hi Ziffos,
I didn't quite understand the bit at the end 'EDIT - NOW SORTED - THANKYOU'. Does this mean that you've managed to get your phone flashed? If you have then great! If not then I might be able to do it for you. Let me know.
Any help apreciated????
Hello
I have just read all the posts here about the Unique Manager and I completely agree. It is a nightmare, Orange UK have wrecked this phone. I have just got my Mrs. a contract on this phone as I intend to set up sat nav on it for her and I have the touch HD, so off the back of your comments I am looking to flash it.
It is running V1.71 and from reading the thrads I have to revert it back to V1.41, how easy did you find it to debrand it as it appears many people have had problems and I am worried about rendering the phone useless!!!!
I have never done anything like this before but I do understand the instructions as they are very indepth, but I am worried that if any exceptions or problems present themselves I won't be able to deal with it.
How straight forward is this process?
Any help is very much appreciated.
It was a long process but worth it!
Hi there,
I've flashed my phone about 2 weeks ago now and am having a much better experience. Actually I really love the phone now so my advice would be to go for it and flash it. I didn't actually read too many of the comments, I just followed the instructions and did it. Maybe just as well as I might have been put off.
Anyway the process was very long winded as I had to take someone's raw dump and then convert that into a ROM and then flash the phone with it. Took quite a long time but I definitely feel that it was worth it. I don't know how risky it is so can't really advise you on that.
I can send you the ROM file that I did generate if you want do it. I hope it goes as smoothly as it did for me if you do decide to go ahead with it.

i want original keyboard for gene.
need original HTC AT&T kaiser rom for keyboard
Hey guys still a little new to the forum and having a hard time finding the original HTC 8925 AT&T cabs for the keyboard. I flashed a new rom (Schaps_WM6Pro) to the phone and now the keyboard is all messed up. I also tried the (Tilt keyboard fix.cab) cab but it did not fix the problem. Only a few keys are now working and they are mapped correctly though. Im wondering if it isnt a hardware prob and not software. Only way to find that out would be to flash it with the original at&t rom but love Schaps rom. Thanks guys any help on this would be hugely appreciated.
Have you checked your respective forums? My guess is that they have .cab's listed in those areas for this.

Don't sweat it dan...we're all new at some point. You were close though, you needed the section for the Tilt, you ended up in the section for the Tilt2. Try here instead:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=376
Good luck!
I tried using the cab in the first post and it fixed the keyboard but it removed all my home quick links (running Energy w/ Cookie homepage) . . . anybody got any other suggestions?
the cab for me always worked. i have noticed theres places where you still get the original touch pro keyboard layout. such as in phone or remote desktop. its nothing you cant figure out around.
thxs Sirphun that was a lighting answer and i hate to say but im thinking you nailed it. i have'nt had time just yet to sit down for another round of upgrading but i will keep u posted. thxs to all the helpfull people in this forum, its been a great help.

Hey there i know its been a while since i posted on this thread but hey i've had alot of time to experiment and flash a whole lot more roms......been great so far so good especially with the new WM6.5 and even some WM6.1 but no matter which rom i try (after successfully flashing and following all the directions posted) i always end up with the same frustrating problem....the physical keyboard only has 3 or 4 keys that are functional. This even despite a few posts for these roms telling me they were specifically fixes for the att tilt model that i am using. None of them worked. I also followed the directions for re-flashing a new HardSPL to match the rom i was using. Still no luck. From what i read this can be somewhat tricky. Maybe im not truly upgrading the HardSPL?? When i check the version on the tri-color screen it shows the version i wanted to upgrade to???? Confused, Dan.
if you are using NRG rom u can go to start then go to tools then select carrier provisioning then choose the setting ur are needing to get the keyboard. for all other roms can us the cab. hope this help.
Here's the solution whis is posted on the FAQ section of the Energy ROM thread- "Wrong physical keyboard configuration: If you are using AT&T or T-Mobile, and you are experiencing issues with the physical keyboard key configuration (FN not working, for example), you need to run the Carrier Provisioning that can be found at Start > Tools. Another alternative is to use a key remapper program ...."

Once you've HardSPL'ed, you should never have to again. I've only ever used the one posted here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=550131
On the tri-color bootloader, one of the numbers should say "Olinex" at the end of it, if you're HardSPL'ed properly.
Have you run Task29 before flashing a new ROM?
Hi,
I was a steady user of Windows Mobile phones. Setup and flashing ROMS for YEARS I lived on XDA Forums!. NOW I'm on Metro PCS and I have a HTC Hero and I'm sick and tired of running this to someone and having it fixed and them Charge me. I want to know or be pointed to the information that I can use to do this. DO NOT point me to a website or person that will charge me to do it. I WANT TO DO THIS MYSELF!
It seems nobody will tell you anything! Someone has to know what it takes or point me in the right direction so I can learn this. I know how to root it and Flash the ROM that is easy! What I want to know is:
How do you setup the phones settings to work with Metro PCS? What is required to program it for Metro PCS? Is it a file? software? What I'm asking is if I have a Hero flashed with say Damagecontrol v1.0 what are the steps at that Point to set it up on Metro PCS from there?
And YES I've search Google and every site with every combination or keywords for some kind of information to do this. Even the XDA site and I get Nothing.
Thanks,
Rick
Has it already been flashed to metro? Ever if not send me a pm. I don't charge I don't guarantee results but i've got a couple tricks up my sleave that i think will work. If it works then we will post a how-to so everyone can do this for free as well.
I've been desperately awaiting this post for about 4 months. I see hero's on CL all the time selling as "fully flashed" gps/mms/market/etc. How in the hell is this achieved, i had internet for 2 months, then it no longer worked one day. PLEASE SOMEONE POST TUTORIAL!?!?
I just want to know how to do my phone. I want to know how to do it from scratch. I have a HTC Hero NOT flashed to Metro. I know I need Damagecontrol v1.0, BUT how do you set it up for Metro.
I have another HTC Hero flashed and it needs to be reflashed (Acts weird now) , BUT I'm not going to pay someone to do it again. If they can do... So can I. I just need to find out how too.
I also want to know If I can only use Damagecontrol v1.0 / 2.1. Or can I use something higher than 2.1 on the Hero flashed to Metro?
I'm just asking for help or even point me to a site with the step by step process. All these people do this on CL so I know it's out there.
I got a pretty good idea on how to do this but I need some testers
I did it, fully flashed, search the internet, you'll find what you're looking for.

I've had mine on CM 6 with 2.2 rocking! up until they changed the metropcs servers which all I lost was net access.
I paid $60-70 bucks to have it done at first and they used the Damaged Rom and honestly it was hit or miss. Yeah man you can dam sure use lots of other Rom's.

I wondering if you could help me out I have my Hero Flashed to Metro Pcs but lost my internet, MMS abilities along with a few other things. I'm trying to figure out how to fix this, I have a number current with Metro but I was wondering If by fixing this will I have to get a new number as well?

I don't think you should have to get a new number or anything like that.
I'm not completely certain, but I think your problem lies in one of the following settings:
HDR AN AUTH User ID/Password
PPP User ID/Password
M.IP NAI Profile
MMS Server URL
Dial ##778# and ##3282# to access those(you will need your MSL/SPC code to change any settings). I think QPST Service Programming can also alter these settings if you're having trouble with ##778#. Configure them to match your service provider. Hopefully this will point you in the right direction.
I need to do this as well. Anyone have a step by step.
dude stop bumping threads no one is going to help u if u keep doing that take a hint already.
