Go to the wiki.
On it you will find 'Available cooked wm6 roms'. Look for your carrier!

I currently have a TMobile Pocket pc phone edition that i recently installed the WM2003 upgrade on, i love it.
Now i hear that there are XDA2 devices out, which sound like better,faster devices. I asked TMobile, and they say that as long as the phone supports GSM 1900 and can be unlocked to use any SIM card, switching phones is a piece of cake.
So i guess my question is, has anyone tried this? I would like to get a O2 XDA2 over the M1000. Has anyone gotten them to work on the TMobile network here in the USA? I'd hate to spend the money on the device and not have it work. Or would it be better if i wait for some (needed?) ROM upgrades?
Thanks a lot =)
Edit: Okay so i didnt type in the right keywords into google the first time. User review here basically answers all my questions:

Oh Great Gurus of the SX56 world!
I bought a PDA from EBay (not even sure if it is called an XDA or XDA2 in your terms). It is an AT&T phone, that is locked. I need to unlock it to work for T-Mobile. I have a USB Cradle (no other cables). Here are the specs:
ROM - A.20.17 ENG
Rom Date: 5/15/03
Radio: A.20.10
Can anyone give me "baby steps" on how to do this?
Foerever Grateful!

Don't do it. Have you looked at the T-Mobile network. Their coverage stinks. ATTWireless' GSM coverage is going to merge with Cingular's GSM, (they are already using each others networks), and the coverage is much better than T-Mobiles. To answer your question; the XDA Tools does a fine job of unlocking your PPC.
Best of luck,

Okay here's the deal. I have the opportunity to purchase a brand new Sprint 6800 for fairly cheap. I have Alltel as my curent provider. Can someone guide me into flashing it with WM 6.1 with that touchflo & GPS for Alltel? I read the FAQ but it didn't really say anything for my situation. Thanks in advance for any and all your help.
As long as you can activate the sprint phone with your alltel service... you have no problem.
Once you have activated and confirmed it's good... Just flash DCD 3.2.5 and the radio per the instructions and run the alltell carrier cab.
the Radio / OS roms are carrier independent... The carrier Cab is what customizes it to work with your service.
so how can i find out if I can activate with Alltel?

Get ESN Number from phone and call Alltel to see if they can activate it.
Also in the future you should make the subject of the post a brief description of the issue.. Like "Help flashing sprint 6800 on alltel service with WM 6.1"
You'll get more people who have had a similar situation or think they can help you to click on the post and supply good info.
Will do.. Thanks
someone has given me an O2 xda 2 with custom firmware on it but when i switch it on i noticed it said no gsm on the screen. when i put a sim in it i get no signal whatever. anyone know how to solve it please?
I have the same problem,too
I have have a T-Mobile MDA and it has just the same problem. I am using Ather's WM 6.1 on it. I tried to downgrade it to WM2003 or WM2005 but no change I still cannot use the gsm function. I hope somebody can help us here I will really appreciate it.
same problem. first ist worked with callmobile (t-mobile). after using a new o2 card one time i have no gsm. i have tried different cards. they all dont work.
I have a UK unlocked HTC titan, I get horrible reception in my house and AT&T has given me a 3g Microcell to fix it, well the Microcell has its own problems, but regardless they say that my phone wont work with the Microcell anyways because its only getting E (edge) so they convinced me to get a new phone (Nokia Lumia 900) which i did like, but ultimatly took back because I love my titan so much, they no longer offer the titan 1 and would only give it to me for $199 through their site (which is BS because the titan 2 is $199) I know i should just et the titan 2 but i dislike the curved glass, I like the look and feel of my Titan 1, I would have already dropped AT&T and went to verizon but they have no WP7 phonesand I want to keep my titan...
So I'm asking:
Is there a Rom that I could flash to my titan (Its an Unlocked UK version (British lady voice and all) and AppHub Unlocked) that would set it to the AT&T rom and possibley get better signal as well as 3G capabilities?
I would like to flashmy rom and use the one from AT&T to recieve 3G and use the Microcell as well as overall better coverage.
Im somewhat of a noob to the flashing and dont know if thats how it works or what... Can someone please help?
Thanks.

What a situation you got yourself into I reckon there will be plenty out there who would like to swap their att branded htc titan to your european unlocked titan Anyway back to your question..., yes you can flash your phone with stock cingular (att) rom but it is not a straight forward flashing. You will need to use "goldcard method" to flash a stock cingular (att) rom to your phone. I advise you to read this related threads on goldcard method:
1. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?p=24809318#post24809318
2. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1371073&highlight=goldcard+spl+downgrade+method
You need to download the Cingular (A&T) rom 1.10 from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334468
You just need to rename the nbh file into ETERIMG.nbh to use in your goldcard.
In summary, to flash stock AT&T rom you need to use the goldcard method to flash the Cingular ROM 1.10 to your european unlocked htc titan.
Hope this help.

Thanks a lot! I appreciate the response! Now im faced with 2 options ... sell/trade the phone (I LOVE THE TITAN!) or Get the materials and try out the Rom to see if it fixes my problem. I guess we'll see.
SO YOU ARE TELLING ME THEORETICALLY FLASHING THE STOCK AT&T TITAN ROM TO MY UNLOCKED VERSION WILL FIX THE NO 3G PROBLEM? IS THERE ANY DRAWBACKS OR ANYTHING WITH THIS FLASH, DO I NEED TO MESS WITH THE RADIO? ANY AND ALL INFORMATION IS DEF APPRECIATED!
IF IM GONNA DO THIS, I WANNA KNOW WHAT IM IN FOR AND WHAT IM GONNA GET, AT THIS POINT AT&T GAVE M A MICROCELL TO FIX MY SERVICE PROBLEM (BUT NO 3G ON MY TITAN) AND THEY ALSO GAVE ME AN EARLY UPGRADE OPTION, AND WITH ALREADY HAVING THE NOKIA LUMIA 900 AND HAVING IT FAIL IN COMPARISON TO THE TITAN, SCREEN SIZE WISE (OTHERWISE BEATIFUL PHONE), AND THE TITAN TWO UGLY WITH THE CURVED GLASS AND BUBBLE BACK, LOOKS LIKE IM GONNA HAVE TO TRY ANDROID AGAIN (UGLY UI, BUT MORE APPS)
Thanks again.
There is no guarantee here unfortunately:] and the gold card method is a hit and miss process to say the least. You probably know that by now, as there are few threads running on this forum about this topic. The stock Cingular rom 1.10 has its own bugs (lots of them) you can find more about this by reading opening threads in the general section (Q&A). Your choice Goodluck.
