I emailed Telus asking when they were releasing an update and they said they didnt release that information but to check the telus site periodically. So.. basically they are covering their own butts here. Which I can understand. If they give a release date and cant follow through people will do nothing but complain BUT if they go.. SUPRISE heres an update.... people will be thrilled

Could you please direct me to a site that would show me how to upgrade my Bell HTC Touch phone so that it has GPS capabilities. I have been searching around but not sure exactly which ROM/radio I need to install.
Sorry for the late reply, the site where I downloaded the Bell ROM from is;
http://forum.ppcgeeks.com/showthread.php?p=281479
You have to scroll down to pretty much the bopttom of the page then click on "OMJ Bell ROM"
Have fun!!

hey guys,
is there any link where I can download the original telus rom, I tried searching forums but didnt find any links or thread. So, if anyone know how to get back to telus rom please tell
thanks.
It's not possible at the moment. Telus hasn't put out any updates to the Hero yet. Sit tight, I'm sure once HTC puts out the Eclair update, Telus will release shortly aftewards. The original Telus ROM hasn't been customized at all though, other than the Telus APN settings, so I can't see a reason why the Telus-specific ROM would be required, unless it's for warranty reasons.
Hey craig0r, just a few questions. Seems there are few Telus users rooting so its kinda hard to find a "Telus" point of view. How is MoDaCo 3.1? Are you experiecing any issues? Since we cannot go back to Telus ROM, do you have any regrets rooting or installing MoDaCo? Thanks for your input!!

The HTC Music app gets choppy through, when played through A2DP bluetooth. I think I had that problem before I rooted, but I don't remember. It's fine through headphones. That kinda sucks. I really hope it's fixed in eclair. My Vogue with WM 6.5 had no issues like this.
Other than that, I have no complaints at all, it's pretty great. I only had my phone for one day before I rooted it, mind you, so I can't really compare it to the stock ROM's experience.
i just recently got a htc magic with the e911 update just wondering is this is rootable ?
I'm just wondering, have you searched?
Answer is No.
Ok so I got my shiney new HTC Magic from rogers, for f*cking free thanks to that deal that enabled dream owners to get the magic for free. I harassed for a month an a half. But I am loving it, I'm using it as my main phone. But I can't find anything on rooting the new update for the damn thing. Is there even a name for this update. I'm glad I signed that waiver for dream owners. Cuz if I did it for the dream, I would have a useless peice of ****. So as the first guy asked, where is the root?
I have search and i am unable to find a straight answer.

Straight answer: No.
If the update becomes rootable, it would be clear.
but I red that there was a work around like we have to make sure we have the same radio as the new update so like that rogers won't know we are rooted users and dont get the data cut off is that true or it's just bogus?

You need a rooted phone to get the work around. If you update to the newest update then there is no point in trying this loophole since you have the newest SPL and radio that they want you to have.
The newest update is not rooted.
If you have a Rogers Magic with the new update and ARE NOT using it in Canada on Rogers (ex: in US on ATT), can you change the ROM to a rooted ROM or am I just SOL on Wifi Tether?

That doesn't make much sense -- if the newest updated ROM (1.76.0010 for ROGERS) is not rooted, what makes you think you can change the ROM if your not in Canada? It's still the same unrooted SPL.
If you try using WiFi tethering, you are going to get billed up the ying yang with charges with roaming and tethering charges if you don't have a tethering package.

That is what I was asking, just didn't phrase it right. I've switched to 32A Magic from a MT3G to have 3G bands for AT&T. So far not impressed with this Rogers ROM, almost makes me want to deal with EDGE again just so I can use a ROM that I like. Thanks for your answer.

No problem. Just make sure you watch out for the tethering, heard some bad stories with ROGERS + tethering.
There are so many topics about this now.. you'd think Rogers would do something about it.
What could Rogers possibly benifit from "locking" this phone like this. Kinda takes away from the 'open-sourceness' of the device.

ROGERS just wants you to have their ROM with their applications. That is really all it's about. ROGERS says "we have to test out updates to see if they work with our network" but we all know it's bulls--t; you can flash any ROM and you still receive phone calls, SMS, MMS, internet and still get 3G with no additional billing or problems with your phone.
All they really want is to lock you down so you can't unlock your phone (therefore taking your phone to other providers). You bought the phone from ROGERS, ROGERS wants everyone to know that you are with ROGERS.
Im pretty sure HTC are the ones who locked it when they made this firmware update. Rogers didnt make the update.

Not really, it was probably at Rogers request. If carriers are going to do stuff like that (which they are entitled to), then HTC or Google should make unbranded versions available for people who want the phone, but aren't on that network.

ROGERS is the only one to have the 1.76.0010 SPL for a reason; paid for the SPL and branding on the ROM. They keep implimenting newer systems to try and block out non-ROGER ROMs. They want to lock it down, HTC didn't have to, they have no reason to.
You know what, come to think if it, ROGERS probably knows about the .29 kernal bypass for rooting and are reluctant to update to the newer kernal.
Food for thought!

What is this kernel bypass for rooting that you are talking about? Does it work on the new ROM with Sense?

It only works with the 2.6.29 kernel and it's a slim chance of it happening -- It's basically just brute-forcing root access. Magic 32A has the 2.6.27 kernel and does not have this bug allowing root access.
If you want to know more, search the forums.

there is no changelog from htc's site. it's just a small "updated" t-mo uk ROM, still based on the very first 1.43 ROMs. i wont call it an update at all. FYI, this so called update has been made available in xda for a long time now. i've downloaded it and compared the Hash, and they are 100% identical.
omg!
if this is the update i've waited 3 months for then heads are gonna roll!
is it actually the exact same rom as before?
what the hell was the point in it?

It's not even an update. Its the exact same version number that I have on my original ROM T-Mobile HD2 - ROM Version:1.43.110.2.
And yes, I still have my original ROM. It works okay for what I do, and want to stick with official ROMs if possible. Maybe in the future if T-Mobile don't give a real update, or I hit serious issues, but for now I'd like to keep my warranty intact. I'm aware I can re-flash it easily back to the original ROM (even more so now that ROM is officially available to download) - however my concern is over times when I get a fault which means I cannot re-flash it.
i'm on the original t-mobile rom and find it suitable. the only real change ive made is to revert back to the windows messaging set up, not htc messages.
how many people on the original rom have had problems with HTC messaging?
The disclaimer says:
* This is a generic software update. Any additional software or settings provided by your mobile operator or company will be lost. If you require this customization, please contact your supplier first before upgrading.
This may 'unlock' t-mobile from their current position and allow them the HTC rom upgrade path.
Has anyone tried this?

Interesting point, however I suspect it's a standard disclaimer they put onto their ROM downloads. Would be interesting though for someone to confirm?
Well, someone try and download it using their S/N and try flashing. Worst that happens is it says 'Incorrect Vendor ID'

At least we now have an official T-Mobile ROM we can revert to if we ever need to take the phone back.
I know they tend not to bother if you install other ROMs, but nice to have it as a fallback option.

I don't even want to think what the reaction on there is going to be once they actually announce it.
Ah, no, they'll mark it as solved, and no-one will be able to post! Good stuff, eh?
I tried it just incase it was generic but that was a a massive waste of time, as far as I can see this rom is identical to the factory version.

You should be seeing true t-mobile (US) HTC HD2 updates in this link WHENEVER they are available.
http://www.htc.com/us/support/t-mobile-hd2/downloads/
Ain't it weird that it's not showing the update that's already on T-Mo's page, though?...
I think it's because technically it's a T mobile phone now and HTC probably isn't supporting the ROM updates. It's listed under T Mobile brand on Tmos website, so that is why I'm thinking this. My Touch Pro on Sprint got updates from HTC, but it was listed as an HTC phone.
Well my T-mobile TP2 is on the HTC section of the list in that support section, and the official upgrade ROM that came out months ago still isn't up...so I think it may be a case of Tmo and HTC just having an agreement that Tmo handles it's own update releases. Just a guess though.

Hi guys,
Does any body know when can we get the OFFICIAL 8107 update for the AT&T Focus?
But without changing the operator,
I mean official from ATT, please advise,
Thanks in advance
Best Regards

I'm in New Zealand with an AT&T focus, I got that update two weeks ago I think, maybe longer.

If you have the phone from AT&T then your ROM carrier is AT&T and you will get the 8107 update when AT&T releases it. That does NOT depend on the current carrier. Your phone's IMEI is in the AT&T database, so when Zune checks for update it looks in your phone in the registry for the OEM carrier, which is AT&T. There are ways to change that in the registry, if you're interop unlocked. Read here.

I know all what you are talking about, I'm pro,
I think it is better to wait for the official ATT update than changing the registry, may be ATT has different and better radio version,
I saw here a lot of guys complaining about slow 3G connections after hacking the registery and update,
I think it is better to waiti,

No problem, glad to assist as we're here to help.
I wouldn't bet on AT&T update being better . Actually, if anything, the AT&T updates have "worse" numbers for Radio (and not only) compared to the Rogers, as you can see in several places across the forum, for example here.
Shortly:
Radio Software version: 2103.11.8.1 (AT&T)
Radio software version: 2124.11.9.3 (Rogers)
However, AT&T seem to mod the ROM specific for their network, and while that might be good locally, I doubt it's good overall. But I can't really tell...

Wait?
Waiting for ATT is like waiting for world peace. Good luck with that. I normally wait for the carrier updates but did not with 7720 or 8107. I used the cab sender method, not the registry change method. In either case, you are getting updates off the Microsoft servers.
Thanks for the clarification,
I think I'll change the registery to my operator Vodafone Egypt and get the update
waiting for a good custom ROM from DFT

sounds like those guys at AT&T don't care about the updates I emailed them about it this what i got back
"I have reviewed your account and the most recent software update was released on 09/27/2011. This was the Windows 7.5 update. If you select settings on your device then phone, it will show you which Windows version you are running. When updates come out for your device, notification will be sent to your phone advising you to update your phone. Unfortunately we are not notified in advance of when new updates are coming out.

This response is not that ATT does not care, it's that they are the last to be notified of updates and the last to know if they are actually going to push the update out; sometimes they wait and skip over an update to have a more significant release. They will not divulge any information until the update is actually released. The only way they will give any hints of an update is if there was a major flaw or demand that customers were looking for ie mango has multitasking custom ringtones, nodo copy and paste. There has been multiple handset receiving official 8107 updates. ATT although the premier carrier for WP7 probably will either wait for the next apollo update or release 8107 offical update about 2 to 4 weeks after the other major carriers (T-mobile) release theres. The reason is they usually incorporate ATT specific features or software with the microsoft update and that ATT is slow in pretty much everything they do haha. You can update with official 8107 update by branding your carrier to rogers through registry edit for the samsung focus. I do not like using cab sender method either.
well i'll wait for them to release it because last time i edited the registry i had install the 7004 roms
