Well after much reading and skimming....I was able to brick, unbrick, and finally flash a rom that i like....
I took a while but the way i figure whats spending your whole day off learning about your phone in the scheme of things.
Ok. So, the T MOBILE WING is also known as the Atlas a variation of the original Herald model. This is very important to know because there are very many roms scattered about throughout the threads. IF YOU FLASH THE WRONG DEVICES ROM YOU MAY PERMANENTLY BRICK YOUR PHONE REQUIRING SERVICE OR A NEW UNIT!!!! So, be sure you know which device you have and which rom is for that device. Most you will find in a thread will more than likely tell you which model family it is for.
What I did was began with the HardSPL which you can find in the forums along with many different ways of installing it....
Then I installed a rom not designed for my device....VERY BAD....or so I thought. Much to my amazement because I read so damn much before I began I jumped back to some old thread and realized since i couldn't get the computer to connect properly i could still use my sd card to flash. I flashed the TMO original wing rom to the phone and viola` back to square one....
Next I called T MOBILE. I asked them to unlock my wing. They were very helpful and told me they would email me the info necessary. ***IN LESS THAN 24 HOURS I RECIEVED AN EMAIL TELLING ME EXACTLY HOW TO UNLOCK MY PHONE**** Do not waste your money on one of those websites that unlocks your phone your service provider will do it for free if you are past the trial period.
finally i found a rom I liked (open touch final ) installed it via sd card and haven't had a problem since.
Don't know who's ego I need to stroke but let me say that everything you need to learn how to do whatever you want with your wing is right here in these forums. Thanks to all the contributors and the guys who asked the dumbest questions I was far too cautious to ask. There is a plethora of information here I just wish it was more organized it was a lot of reading. But once again thanks to those who answered the tough questions.
