I came here from the youtube videos like I know many of you did. I bout an HTC touch about 3 weeks ago (service is with Verizon) and I really like the phone. I saw the videos on youtube and decided I wanted to give some of things a try. Im an IT guy so I understand this kind of stuff, but this is the first phone mod I've ever attempted. I have a few questions before I mod my phone (I don't to accidentally brick it) that I couldn't find answers to (I tried searching and checked the noob section), so I figured I'd post. They are most general questions - nothing specific yet. They are:
1. Will the downloads from " D/\SH'S Touch Mods With Straight Downloads Updated 3-16-07" work with the Verizon version of the touch, and do I need it unlocked first?
2. If I do need it unlocked, is there a way for me to do it myself? And if there is a way to do it myself is there a thread explaining how? I tried searching for this too but couldn't find it.
3. Do I need windows mobile 6.1 to make these things work? The Verizon version comes with WM6 and as far as I know there is no update for this yet.
4. Even if I don't need WM6.1 is there a way for me to upgrade to it? If there is a way to upgrade to it, is it worth doing?
I think that pretty much covers it - thx in advance for the help.
1. yes all those apps minus the sprint specific ones like sprint nav, sprint tv will work with your device without it being unlocked
2. there is a simple unlocker that is run from your pc although you only need to unlock if you'll be flashing roms
3.you dont need wm 6.1
4. there is a way to get wm 6.1 you need to flash a rom we have a new sprint official rom that has wm 6.1 here, there are also many custom roms built off that sprint official one that are faster and more stable, there is a tutorial for flashing
here that has links to the unlockers and other tools you need to flash
Hope this helps,
