Hello All! Have been a reader of the various threads for sometime, and I'm looking for information on flashing my old HTC Mogul to Cricket. Have a friend who's HTC Touch he was using bite the dust, he wants to buy my Mogul, providing I can provide a working phone on his Cricket service. He will require working web and MMS, any and all other refinements are a plus. Can someone please direct me to the appropriate thread to get me started? While I don't consider myself a novice (have done some wicked modding to my HTC TP2 on the Sprint network), I am looking for info that is well communicated and easy to follow, as this will be my first carrier changeover. Thank you's to any and all people who provide assistance, and BOO'S to those who attempt to criticize. Let's keep it friendly!

Hello Every,
I've been a big xda-developers and i've gone to you guys many times in the past to help me out. I have just been talk into a ROM upgrade from my friend who has my Wizard and loves WM6. So i have decide that AT&T is taking too long on the WM6 release and would like to move on over.
Now i have gone through and read all the different upgrade from all the different ROMs, Black Majic, etc and i want to get everyone's opinion on which ROM is the best to go with for the 8525? I want a fast ROM that is fully functional with my ActiveSync for exchange and has some cool new features.
Let me know what you guys think.
Thread number 1,304 on this topic.
If you're an AT&T user, I would highly recommend vp3G's rom. It's very nice, especially since it's all set up for AT&T use already
GldRush98 thanks for the reply. I was looking for a link like this but i didn't see one for the 8525. Thanks for your input.
welcome to xda-developers... i suggest reading this and when asking questions... have a look at the Forum Titles... if its Windows Mobile 6 related (like this question is) the question is to be asked in there...
i always find this also a good source of knowledge...
hello everyone,
i recently purchased used att 8525. and i don't know anything about it. i had blackberries before and every single one of my blackberry has been broken. so i switched to window based pda's. And i have lot of questions for you guys

First off you're in the wrong section of this forum. The 8525 isn't the Kaiser or Tilt, it is the Hermes
Here you go this is where you should be http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=254
OK,
I could understand griping at me if I just came here saying "Hay guise! I'm too
lazy to spend any time doing research and finding out how to do this on my
ownz. Could somebody just spoonfeed me something they spent hours
learning how to do?"
If that were the case I would deserve much scorn and derision but perhaps
you might hear my explanation and perchance give me a little help.
I recently bought an HTC Vogue that was sold to the original buyer through
Sprint. I have Cricket. Since I previously had an account with Sprint I thought
I could set one up again but no, they turned me down, don't know exactly
why.
I was buying the phone to replace my Sanyo that was going off the deep end
and thought I would learn to unlock/flash the new one over to Cricket on my
own. Much time was spent joining forums, reading conflicting advice and
gnashing my teeth. Then, joy of joys, the Sanyo craters all together and I
now have no connectivity at all. To worsen matters my cell line is how I get
business, being a handyman and I many people are reluctant to hire someone
who doesn't answer their phone. So, much to my consternation, I desperately
need to get my Vogue working on the Cricket network. I have the Vogue's
ESN registered as the phone on my account now and the guy was kind
enough to provide me with the min, mdn and SID numbers when I went in
to do the changeover but that's all I gots.
I have seen too many pages of data telling me the alleged definitive way to
get not only my voice service working on Cricket, but text, SMS, web AND
GPS as well but I am reluctant to try any of them because I can ill afford to
buy another phone because I bricked this one. Nor do I want to pay someone
to do it for me when I know that given the right info, I can do it myself.
I know it is stupid to lose business because I want to flash my own phone but
surely many of you out there feel the same way.
Here's what I am asking. Can a few of you kindhearted folks point me to the
ultimate and definitive guide to getting all of my services working on the
Cricket network? I really have put in a lot of search time but all I can say for
certain is that I believe that xda Devs is the site that is my best shot.
I would be very grateful if someone could help, I have also seen evidence of
many people saying that Android is the way to go instead of WM but I have
no idea if I should just stay with Windows Mobile 6, upgrade to a newer one
or switch to Android much less if I should make a change before or after I
flash the phone to Cricket. Uggggghhh.
Please good sirs (and ladies?) thy help would be most fortuitous at this
juncture.
Thanks in advance,
Tex

It looks like I figured out that since the phone was an insurance
replacement that it has Windows Mobile 6.1 on it, that solves
one riddle for me.
I've seen very few guides to doing this..and most of them from rather untrustworthy sites.
Basically because I believe the same information can be used to CLONE a cell phone, stealing someone else's service.
I'm afraid that's not of much help to you, but I looked into it once before, and was told basically unless the provider was willing to program it for me, it would be very difficult to do.
You have to change the ESN to the one of the Sanyo... which is illegal afaik
In regards to the classification of the Imagio/Whitestone and just as many of us thought, it's not a damn Topaz/Diamond2 or anything. As with the Blackstone, it is it's own phone. I would be happy to forward the email to any forum admin/moderator if need be but it's time we get a separate forum lol.
New Response From [ John (North America Support (Tech)) ]
Hello *******,
I would be happy to provide you with more information about the Verizon Imagio. The HTC codename for the Verizon Imagio is the HTC Whitestone. The Imagio is not the HTC Touch Diamond2. This device is exclusive to Verizon. The current US release of the HTC Touch Diamond2 is with AT&T and renamed to HTC Pure. The HTC Pure and Verizon Imagio are 2 completely different devices.
Please feel free to contact us again if you have any further questions. In order to help improve our service I’d like to invite you to take a survey at http://survey.htc.com/worldwide. Thank you for contacting HTC America Technical Support via e-mail.

Good job you got to the bottom of it as far as I am concerned. Solute!
Awesome!
I was curious why this phone did no have it's own section yet.
I sent a message to the forum admin hoping they'd reconsider creating an Imagio/Whitestone section for us. The initial post in the General forum was locked for some reason. Maybe with enough support for this they will create our own forum.
Thank you
I love my new Imagio, having "upgraded" from a TouchPro. (Well four TP's over the course of six months - the shortest life-span lasting less than four days! )
I would love to see it's own forum, and perhpas because the specifications internally are a bit different it does deserve one. Here's hoping.
i was wondering the same thing, same thing must have been found out over at ppcgeeks forum they made the change a couple of days ago...
looks like we have alot of members picking up the Imagio. With all the support im sure they will make a new section for it
PPCgeeks has an Imagio section now....
Everyone should understand by now that the HTC Imagio is just the Touch Pro 2 (CDMA) w/o the physical keyboard. Same screen, same processor, CDMA + GSM worldwide, .... so of course it's not the Topaz/diamond 2 ...
I as well would love to see a section all the Imagio itself and I am hoping that there are enough members with the phone to have the goods that I enjoyed with the Touch Pro. I am not sure how long I will be able to go without flashing my phone 3-4 times a week lol.
So far I've heard nothing back from the site admin regarding this. I don't want to keep pushing them or bugging them lol. For now I remain pretty active on the PPCGeeks dedicated Imagio forum and just keep hoping xda will do the same and make us a forum
Hurray they're making the Whitestone/Imagio forums!
http://forum.xda-developers.com/forumdisplay.php?f=546
i feel like with it properly named we can get more activity going on!
Any word on if they will move these threads to the whitestone forum?

There are enough differences between the Touch Pro 2 and the Imagio (no video out for one) that, despite being told by Verizon that the Imagio was the TP2 w/o the slide, they are very different functionality wise.

Hi guys, I have been browsing the forum on how to do that but it seems like there is not a guide anywhere, I'm sure a lot of people were able to do it with scattered advice...but anyways, if anyone can make me a step-by-step guide on how to Flash the Sprint EVO 4g to Virgin Mobile (and provide the tools for it, since a lot of links are disabled) for a fair price, please let me know, i'm new here so obviously i'd send money first.
Thank you in advance.
