I ended up bricking a co-workers Wing yesterday and after some internal research, found out that there is a recovery rom that is developed by tmobile to reinstall the original oem rom. I am working with internal departments to allow the rom to be available legally right now. Prod development has the rom currently on t-mobile's intranet. Hopefully they will allow us to use it and essentially make it available to the general public.
No more bricked wings!!

Well that sounds good, please keep us posted.
Incidently it isn't nice to tease the animals . . . .
Well, I am just looking at the legal concerns of uploading the rom without express permission. Maybe I could do so on my home pc.
I now have a copy of the tmo wing RUU but I am trying to get tmo to release it to the public before I send it anywhere.

Just looking to try some different ROMs out, but I have no reliable way of backing out if something screws up. I've tried taking dumps but have been unsuccessful.
How'd you get t-mobile to release it to you in the first place? I'll gladly call up and get a copy for myself if I knew what to ask for without sounding like I want to void the warranty.
Xavier6303,... I would really like to get a copy of the t-mobile wing ruu. I bought a phone from an ex-t-mobile employee over ebay, and the bluetooth modem does not work correctly,... I eventually got though to t-mobile's level 3 support and they said my ROM version was old but could not give me the new one. Said I needed to replace the phone.
I have ROM version 4.10.531.3 WWE, dated 03/15/07,... he said the latest t-mobile has is 4.27....
What version do you have? Can I get it from you,... Pretty Please.
What!?!?!? They have a NEW rom and haven't released it? With all the problems this ROM has they are sitting on it?

To my knowledge this is the stock ROM that comes installed on the wing, not an upgrade.
Does anyone else have it or know how to obtain it from tmobile? What could we ask for that would make them give it to us without making it sound like we're going to do something that might void the warranty?
Edit: Sorry. Just realized that I had pretty much already asked this... long week... lol

I have a couple questions. 1, I got my unlock code from T-Mo today. If I unlocked it just by popping in a cingular sim and entering the code, does that take care of the cid lock as well? Also, will the RUU released be compatible with the Wing? And lastly, forgive me for this as I stopped using my MDA about 9 months ago and have been using a blackberry until I got my wing, but how do I know which version of WM6 I have installed on my phone. I'm guessing that the latest HTC release will most likely be a newer build, hencewhy I am wondering about installing the newer OS (well, that and removing all the extra T-Mo crap and cooking my own rom). Sorry guys, not tryin' to beat a dead horse, just tryin' to get some clarification.

Sim unlock doesnt CID unlock the phone. Not sure which RUU u talkin bout. Regarding the OS version go to Start->Settings->SystemTab->About. Will state the OS version and aku after the build.

lol Thanks. I actually found the "about" the moment after I posted. As for the RUU, I was under the impression that when HTC releases the WM6 upgrade, it'd have a new loader and/or cid unlock the phone. But, you know what they say about assumptions.
Ok, got my HTC Hero Telus, but am kind of overwhelmed by the root and terms used.
Can somenoe just briefly fill me in, what does ROM actually mean and do?
I've been searcing the forums, and found a bunch of updates for RADIO on the Hero, what is this for? What are these updates for?
What's best way to start rooting, and how to learn all these ROMs, Radio, and other terms?
THANKS!
Welcome to XDA!
A ROM is the operating system on the phone. It's called ROM because it gets installed to the phone's "Read Only Memory." There are custom ROMs to replace the stock one, you'll find those in the Hero Android Development forum. This forum also has plenty of posts about how to root/flash your phone.
The radio is the firmware that goes into the phone's radio device. Generally it's best to have the latest radio version installed, currently it's the JU version found in the Official Radio ROMs link in the Hero Android Development forum.
As far as the Telus Hero itself is concerned, there are a couple threads about it in the "Hero General" and "Hero Q&A" forums. Any common problem should be tackled in one of those threads. I think I was the first one to root a Telus Hero (unless someone kept quiet about it) so I've been through just about every Telus-specific issue that has arisen. If you go through those threads and still have questions, I'll be happy to help... but please look through the forums first.
EDIT: Start on page 2 of this thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=576826
Thanks for the response Craig, you definitely cleared it up for me.
I'm using the TELUS hero on AT&T, so is there anything different regards the root and radio update process because I'm on AT&T?

That shouldn't make a difference to the radio/root flashing process... However, I have no idea what it'll take to put an AT&T SIM card in a Telus Hero. I know it can be done, I just don't know the steps since I'm using mine on Telus.
Also, a lot of the issues that show up in that thread I linked you to are Telus-specific, so that might not help you as much as I originally hoped.
Good luck!

Using the phone on AT&T is really simple. Nothing like the complicated steps you have to do to goldcard/downgrade/root the phone. I'm using a white Telus Hero on AT&T, and didn't have any problems.
One question, though. How'd you buy it? If you bought it "unlocked" from a website like ImportGSM, then all you have to do is open the back of your old phone, take out the SIM card, and put it in the Hero. If you bought it on eBay, had somebody in Canada ship it to you, or bought it yourself from a Telus store/Best Buy/etc., then you need to unlock it first. You can get the unlock code from a number of websites, thought you'll have to pay for it. Then put your SIM card in as above and the phone will prompt you for it. After you put in the code, you're good to go!
If you want to use the internet or MMS, then there's actually one more step. You have to put in the APN settings, which tell the phone how to access the network. They can be found in the forum somewhere or by Googling for "AT&T APN".
Ya I'm using it on AT&T works fine, but I'm trying to root it but not having any luck!

Oh, ok! Sorry, I can't help you there. I'm waiting till I've got some sort of backup of the firmware that came on the phone (Or some other official upgrade meant for the North American model) before going through the process to root the phone & load a custom ROM. Just a personal preference
Okay, here is the stock SBF file for all those that have been waiting and digging around for it.

motorola has released the update.zip for 4.1.15, and after the update, the final sha1sum of every file doesn't equal to the sha1sum in the sbf.
take care of it...
Being that the SBF is version 4.1.110, I would assume that file checksum would not match those in version 4.1.15. Also, 4.1.110 is Sprint based while 4.1.15 is direct from Motorola and I'm unsure what changes (if any) sprint may have applied.
All I know is that I have used this several times without issue and over 400 downloads have been made and no one else has seen the issue you have so I am not sure what is going on.
Thanks for bringing it to everyone's attention and if anyone else is seeing this please share your experience.
i mean, after update to 4.1.110 from 4.1.15, the sha1sum of the system dont equal to the sha1sum of the files in the sbf. however, i didn't check it, and i flashed the sbf.
now, i dont think there are any chance for this sbf to upgrade to the coming gingerbread. as the version are 4.1.100, but the sha1sum are totally different.

for example,
the sha1sum of /system/app/AccountAndSyncSettings.apk:

4.1.110: b8be65cc4224f5fd1bcb27404a94c463f57f8041
4.1.110sbf: b4957ae44524df9c8bd61d1f6842d47175092055
so i dont think there is anyone can upgrade from 4.1.110sbf to the coming gingerbread.
of course, the apk content is same.

i think, i consider too much...
i wish the coming gingerbread use a total update, not patch..
if there are patch, then it will check the sha1sum of the origin system.
and if it just replace the whole system, then everything should be ok.

I want to restore my Sprint XPRT to stock Froyo using this SBF and then update to Gingerbread.
liudongmiao mentioned some checksums not matching up for files between this SBF and stock files originally on the phone. Now that GB has been out for a while, anybody run into any problems updating as a result of that or have your updates went smoothly?
My phone isn't bricked, but rongsang made the excellent suggestion in the main XPRT thread on here that I should use the SBF and then apply the Gingerbread update as the easiest way to get to GB. My XPRT currently is running Froyo, rooted, and works okay (other than missing a few Sprint bloatware apks that the GB update seems to want there).
Update: After finding positive reports on another forum I went ahead and applied the SBF followed by the OTA Gingerbread update and all appears to have succeeded.
will this work with thr boost version of XPRT ?
I clicked the download link, and the file was accessible and downloadable. I don't know if this means that the OP was having second thoughts, but thank you very much to the OP for the file!
My DVP decided to crap out yesterday for no reason. I read the "how to unbrick your phone" thread and was able to revive the phone using the TMO ffu file. It crapped out again so it looks like it's the SD card. I will be doing the flash again but does anyone have that file for AT&T instead of TMO? Thanks in advance.
It might be possible to use the TMO ffu, update to 7720, then use cabsender to send the ATT firmware bundle and turn it into the att version (as that's the only file that differentates the 3 versions)
It could also possibly brick you to the point that nothing can fix it, so I'm intentionally not posting the direct link to the files, but there are links to them if you search around for the VP on xda.

I think I'll give it a try, can you point me to the right cabsender? If it bricks I really don't care, went out and bought a Lumia 900 and actually like it. Thanks for the help.

I'm only make a (hopefully) educated guess on the whole thing, I believe there's only 1 version of cabsender(?), but it's the actual cab that i'm talking about that i'm not linking to.
Since the potential issue of permenetly bricking isnt an issue(?), look on the VP page on the xda wiki, it's listed there.

Currently latest binary there isnt any unlock for but I am working on it some. It is one of the more difficult ones to do due to Sprints new security. Only one team so far (at least made public) has done unlocks for it. If you have older binary builds there are some unlocks available on clangsm forum. Might check there.
Well not so much of a challenge anymore I guess on this one. The Yemen fellows have managed to unlock this long ago and now it seems everyone has a solution for it heard so much for Sprint's latest RSA haha

Hey there nice to meet you. Pretty much the 337 P can be rooted if you have cheated PRP for it that is about the easiest way to go about it. You can also get the boot image and go ahead and use it with magisk in a Flash the boot image back get it rooted and then use something like AAP ke flasher to flash TW RP but again you would need a custom as men are built in mine is not finish it. However you will run into some issues if you do the ladder as they will need to be signed images at least I have came to find out. And remember Ruth should be treated all up most respect otherwise you will have a phone that is vulnerable to just about everything in the world haha. Take care
