Want to install the TouchFlo and Cube but don't want to use a custom flash?

1. Download the Original Flash release from T-Mobile.
Part 1 (http://cid-4b58b3d022cf8248.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Windows%20Mobile%206%20Center/RUU/RUU_Atlas_TMO_US_4[1].10.531.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship.part1.rar)
Part 2 (http://cid-4b58b3d022cf8248.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Windows%20Mobile%206%20Center/RUU/RUU_Atlas_TMO_US_4[1].10.531.3_4.1.13.37_02.83.90_Ship.part2.rar)

2. Backup your device since the upgrade will erase any data in it. You can back it up to your memory card or computer.

3. If you are installing in a device with no modifications, hard reset (Press and hold both soft keys and press reset button, continue to hold soft keys until screen displays to hard reset. Press the call button to continue). If you need to install the original software, continue to step 3a

3a. Enter boot loader on your phone (Hold camera button and press reset, continue holding camera until a screen with 3 gradient colors shows up
3b. Connect your computer via USB to your ppc (Pocket PC)
3c. Run the*orignal RUU (software)*.exe from your hard drive, follow its simple onscreen instructions and click check boxes necessary to continue with the installation. This should take a few minutes, and you will more then likely see your screen flash and change things, this is normal, let it work. After a few minutes it will boot up and go into "automatic customization of your device", I continued this (screen alignment, tips, auto setup), and waited for my device to be totally ready for me to use.

4. Connect your device via USB to the PC and wait for it to connect. If it automatically pulls up a profile for your phones sync, delete that profile. If it asks again to setup the device for syncing items, click cancel. You will still be able to explore your phone and install devices without setting up the sync profile for your phone.

5. Make sure your phone is connected as a guest, if it is not, make sure it is. It should display as guest after the hard reset.
Download the modified OS (RUU)
Part 1 (http://cid-4b58b3d022cf8248.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Windows%20Mobile%206%20Center/RUU/Wing_OEM_With_TouchFlo.part1.rar)
Part 2 (http://cid-4b58b3d022cf8248.skydrive.live.com/self.aspx/Windows%20Mobile%206%20Center/RUU/Wing_OEM_With_TouchFlo.part2.rar)

6. Copy "Aserg policies.cab" to your mobile device

7. Run "Aserg policies.cab" from your device

8. Soft reset (use stylus for button on side of wing, or on bottom of herald)

9. Go into your Comm Manager on your phone, and disable "phone". Basically enter flight mode so nothing can be sent to your phone during this process.

10. Once booted, install the modified OS (with TouchFlo). Make sure you're still connected as guest, and run 1__Upgrade_rom.bat from*the modified OS*folder on your PC

11. This will bring up a command prompt waiting for you to hit a key to begin, press any key

12. During this time it is installing, NEVER touch your phone or play with it in any matter. It may look as though the command prompt has gotten hung up at times, but leave it run until it completes (or fails). your phone will pop up a message saying "unknown status" or the likes, but don't close that window, like I said just leave it alone.

13. If you have no error messages in the command dialogue box then you're ready to hard reset your phone. (press both soft keys, and press reset, continue holding soft keys until you see a dialogue asking if its okay to restore settings, hit the call button to finish it)

14. Your device SHOULD boot normally, go through setup, and you should be golden. If at any time there is an error during install, but you still let it complete, you might have a chance at it working. Hard reset it after completion (even with errors) just to see if it works. If it wont go past your T-mobile or HTC picture screen on boot up, then you have bricked your device. To un-brick it, run steps 3a through 3c and reinstall the RUU. If you get any errors, try and try again. Its proven working on several devices.
