Why update the ROM on your device?

The software upgrade posted below provides several key enhancements for your Touch:

4. Adds the Opera browser.
5. Adds a full Qwerty on-screen key Qwerty keyboard

Please read the following important notes before starting the upgrade:

Before you proceed, please confirm that this software upgrade is a newer version than what is currently loaded on your device. If it is the same version and your device is operating normally, there is no need to reload the software. To determine what version is running on your device, refer to the image on the left (the newest version is pictured) and note the ROM version and Radio version. Next, go to Start > Settings > System Tab > Device Information on your device. If your ROM and Radio versions are different than what is pictured at left or the ROM Date is older, you should upgrade.

3. All running applications on the computer have been closed.

5. The update can take up to 25 minutes so set aside time when you will not be interrupted.
6. All data will be deleted from the device during the upgrade (music, pictures, 3rd party applications, etc); be sure to back up all of your data using ActiveSync (Windows Mobile Device Center, if you are running Windows Vista) prior to upgrading.

here is some updates posted by boogsie at ppcgeeks letting us know there is differences between this rom and dcd "official"rom form july 10th:

I compared the last two RUU_WWE's and while the 2.nbh file did change, everything else was the same.

I compared the contents of the 2.nbh files and the changes apperar to be very, very minor.

SYS folder is identical (binary comparison) except for \Metadata\default.hv
OEMDrivers folder is identical except for a single DSM file and the corresponding RGU file. The difference in the RGU file was one single line: "ROMVersion"="3.03.651.6" This, in contrast to the filename and the update screen, which both include: "3.03.651.4"

One difference that does draw my attention is that the PPST CAB files have the same names (PPST_08516_7500_SPCS_2.04.sa.CAB) but the files are different and the file contents are quite a bit different.

Other than these items, the differences seem to be limited to the way that the released build was packaged ...

For example, the last leaked build had nested in the OEM\OperatorPKG\Hidden.cab file, another cab file that included "Telus_NIM" which is not present in today's released build.

Best regards,
-boggsie

Ok thats what I thought because I am running this ROM right now.. Working well so far except I cannot for the life of me get a GPS lock with Live Search or Google Maps although I did get it once after I soft reset after flashing but otherwise I cannot get a lock and its really irritating .

did u take take the battery out,then hard reset after u flashed??? and remember this rom isnt really to be out until the 21st so maybe alt of the services arent up yet and maybe the 21st everything will work smoothly....

[thermus]

Ok so my rom version is 3.03.651.2 should I upgrade or does it really matter????

[BiG JeW]

I CAN CONFIRM! Sprint NAV and Sprint TV WM6.1 OFFICIAL! FLASHED and RUNNING IT NOW! Nice improvements!

[BiG JeW]

So far wait cursors aren't working on this ROM. Ill post in here and edit my post as, I get issues with other apps.

[bondsingh]

I havent gotten that issue ... or maybe I have and havent noticed it? lol the only issue I had was GPS not working.. I had to go into my Location settings and click off and then on and now it works
other then that I am great with this ROM!

[1pensfan]

Flashed this ROM yesterday. Everything worked the first time, GPS included. Installed GoogleMaps and it works with GPS also. Used "get directions" and followed the blue line on the map. I guess now I won't get lost.

The only thing I have found that doesn't work is the htchome-2.1-hermes-n2a.cab home plug-in. Installing this causes the phone to lock up, hard reset is the only thing that fixed it. HTC Home customizer seems to work fine. The home plug in that I got to work was Kaiser's 6-Tab.

I believe the hermes version wont work, but I installed the 6 tab home plugin and it works fine on my end....search for weather fix* and download that one....its the best and wont interfere with no roms.......I got this rom and everything is working perfect on me end....I dont know why people are experiencing issues that I am reading about....sometimes when u install to many app(like ones you dont need) it can interfere with eachother and cause your phone to have bugs and what not....this is why I dont have anything on my phone that I DONT need.

My gps works fine, rev a works perfect, battery life is best I seen yet, memery stabilization is great, speed on the rom is great, I am experiencing no lag what so ever.

[Mike20PR]

simple question.... is it worth it??? or should i wait for a new custom one????

but ok cool

[broSki]

yes its worth upgrading to this b.c if you read the first page, I added a quote made by boogsie a member at ppcgeeks he explains the difference between this rom and the dcd july 10th rom, and if cookers are going to make a rom based off this one, then u still need to upgrade to this one so u can have the radio with the fixes and stuff

yes it is locked since you are running the stock rom..... the only time that oyu need to unlock is when you go with a custom rom.

[dontaylorj]

Well I hope too try out one of the Wckediden rom. thank you

dude, i suggest not giving out private information next time. and I dont believe it can be done but i wouldnt be skeptical b.c its been done with cricket...my suggestion is search around google, that will be the best thing

[D/\SH]

basically since they are both cdma providers if you flash the sprint phone to the rom of theirs they will have to activate it since it is running there rom..... than you do your thang with it and go custom or whatever and they will never know :> all they really pay attention to is the logo on start-up.

[cmbtmdcthor]

Does this ROM work for the CDMA touch pro (sprint)??
Im a NOOB :knob:
