Good morning Everyone,
I was looking into information on updating my Cell phone ROM as after some reading and searching I found out that this phone is GPS capable (Why they would sell it with the functionality disabled is beyond me.) On the Official HTC website I did find a new update that was released 08/06/2008 at the following link. CLICKY! . I am wounder if anyone else is having a problem downloading this file and installing it? I receive an error saying the file is corrupt and I should download the file again. I have tried downloading the file from two separate computers, tried all three mirror sites (US, Europe, Asia) and last but not least tried using three different web browsers. Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari for Windows.
I am curious if anyone knows of another mirror site for this newly released update that is working? Or of another way I can update to the same version. I am unfamiliar with the ROMs that are on this website (I could figure it out but am uneasy about installing something unofficial.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I also noticed that the file name "-HTC P4000 (Telus)-Telus_HTC_P4000_WM6_07252007.exe" Has an old date on it? I am hoping they just rebuilt a previous update, or they have not actually posted the new update and still have an old one which happens to not work. Just an observation I noticed.
PSS: I have sent in a technical help request through the online process of HTC asking for a link to a working .exe but I tend to find that out of the norm requests such as this do not turn out very well with corporations whose support team are really only knowledgeable in standard help desk things IE: I'm too stupid to turn on my phone can you help me?
Did you follow the instructions here?

I did a while back and it worked. If not, just switch to DCD's, it's awesome. Telus's 6.1 ROM doesn't enable your GPS.
Ya that is currently the ROM I am running, Maybe I am just mixed up. I looked at the HTC website for the TELUS rom and noticed the date for release was 08/06/2008 so I was under the assumption they had released an updated ROM that was a newer version then 2.13.661.2 which I am already running. One that would also patch the GPS (just a guess). However, I guess I will look into the DCD roms and see if I can fumble through the guides to get it loaded. Thanks anyways.
telus p4000 rom
I have a P4000 running on DCD 3.2.2 and Radio 3.42.2 gps enabled internet sharing enabled and many other stuff... this is just roocking the place.. Just forgot the official Rom and go for dcd you just have to follow all instructions be aware and youll anjoye all youre gona do with your phone
HTC P4000 rocks again!
Being half way through custom install (with all nightmares and mistakes ) I found this official update too. Confirm too: everything works as expected.
Took a while for GPS to pick up in Richmond Hill, Ontario, but the it worked like a charm!

2nd that. Upgraded from the old v2 and now to this one GPS and everything worked great with Google Maps.. I didn't bother stopping that customization thing like I've read in other post. Loaded that HTC home Plugin v2.1 on it and its fine.

Just got my new M5000 after i accidentally threw the last one across the work car park.
I have just spent the last 45 mins browsing the site to work out what the latest roms and radios are so that i can get my nice virgin phone up to date.
However all i did was get very confused easily done im afraid.
Could someone please give me a difinitive answer on which updates i should run.
thanks in advance
Tim
First question is did you have any problems with your original M5000?
If not, dont fix something that is not broken!
If the original ROM worked ok for you.. stick with it.. I have...
Sensible searching in this forum will find you cures to most issues without upgrading your ROM...
If you still want to upgrade your ROM I'll leave the answer to 'which' & 'how' to others who have tried and tested it...
i had upgraded the radio to 1.6 i think but i see there is a 1.9 now but i cant find the exe to download.
Upgrade the radio, but don't bother with the extended rom.
Just remember to take note of the GPRS connection settings before you hard-reboot.
I had a replacement M5000 a few weeks ago i am now running the latest orange rom with radio 1.09.
It works great however one word of note i had to update the rom 3 times before the calender worked i assume the file must have corrupted during upload.
Can you point me in the right direction for the roms and radio
What's Up everyone?
I updated my Cingular 8125 to WM6 Faria edition and installed the radio patch 02.61.11; however, for the past 3 days people have been sending me text message as well as calling me and leaving me voicemails which do not come in.
I do not know if this is due to the radio version i installed, so i thought i'd asked you guys and see if anyone knows of a more stable version.
Any suggestions will be appreciate it!

All radio roms above 2.19.11 have missed call and sms issues with WM6! The best one for WM6 so far is 2.19.11! Try it; it should fix your problem. Keep on mind the reception is not as good as later roms.
In the next few days i was going to make a thread to try to unify all the "problems with WM6 on Cingular" and "missing calls, no voicemail notification" threads into one thread. This seems to be a major issue but is largely Cingular specific.
The goal of the thread will be to focus on why radios over 2.19 (including Cingular's own 2.25) get the issue and what can be done to fix it and allow upgraded radios. Be it registery fixes, .dll replacement, or perhaps even cracking open and comparing radio roms.
The thread will NOT be about "I have this problem what do I do???" nor will be about solving issues with providers other then Cingular. However any good leads or fixes may aid in helping others with other providers.
also 2.40 is good for fones that arent cingular...been alot of cingular problems but t-mo is working just fine woth it
Hey Calouro, thanks for the suggestion. I definitely want to give 02.19.11 a try. I looked for it in the FTP site but they dont have the US version of it ( ftp://ftp.xda-developers.com/Wizard/Radio_Roms/ ) I was wondering if you happend to know of a site where i can download that version of the radio so i can try it on my phone.
I'll keep searching around anyways but thanks a lot for the heads up!

There is no US version of the 2.19 radio that I know of. You just use the UK one on the ftp site (thats what I've been running for about 3 months now and it works fine on Cingular here in the US).
mfrazzz,
Thank you for clearing that out for me. I went ahead and downloaded T-Mobile-UK_2.19.11_Radinly.zip and when i try to run the ROMUpdateUtility_Wizard_NoID.exe in order to start flashing my phone, I get the following error message:
ERROR [300]: INVALID UPDATE TOOL
This update utility cannot be used for yoru PDA phone. Please get newer update utility.
Any idea why would i get this error message?
Thanks again and sorry to be a pain!
looking for 2.19
Could someone send me the 2.19 ROM, I have been searching the forum and to no avail. Many thanks in advance. I can't bear missing calls/SMS with the AT&T sim anymore.

WillJV's post above is the link to where the radio's are stored. username and password are both xda for the ftp site.
i'm very new here so please go easy with short hand, thx
I joined today and have been searching all day on this site and many others to see if there is a way to completely back up my oem rom so if i want i could reinstall it. and have been unsuccessfull in understanding if it can be done and how hard or easy it is. please any info will help.
Depending who your provider is, there are several stock roms already available. One of the few that I know of that is not available is US Cellular, and it's being worked on. As far as the other major providers, stocks are available and can for the most part be downloaded from HTC's website. Check there first, and if one is available, you are better off downloading it and using it to flash back if you want to go back.

thx for the reply, i did find a post for my rom its an alltel with 1.40 radio but the link took me to htc site. no rom down load that i could find there. the post was on this site it said he finaly got them updated but i couldnt figure out where on htc site. any info will help. my plan is to find it first and download to safe keep. then the fun will be on... i hope
For some reason HTC took down Altel's rom, however in the programing forum someone just posted a rapidshare version of Altel's rom, it should be near the end of one of the top 15 posts, scan thru them and you should be able to find it.
Here is the link to the post.

Need help finding Verizon XV6800 ROM
Hi,
I am looking for the Verizon XV6800 original ROM. I checked the HTC website but it is not posted there. I need the Verizon OEM WM6 ROM image for backup my phone before loading the cooked rom. Thanks a bunch.
Regards
thanks that will do
First of all I would like thank Skywing for writing this GPS Application
Gateway for the xv6800 phone with stock rom or upgraded MR1 rom..
This thread is to show my thanks and to help new ppl like myself
find this app easer.. It took me about haft a day searching two forums
just to find what I was looking for .. so I hope this will help other
new ppl find what they are looking for much easer ..
Again this application was written by “Skywing” and someone wrote
the easy install CAB for his app .. also like thank “gc14“ for writing
the tutorial ..
This Application aGPS aka GPS Server aka (Valhalla Legends GPSServer.cab)
Will allow your 100% stock rom or MR1 rom on your xv6800 Phone
to access GPS signal via 3rd party application e.g. MS Live search, Google maps etc..
without the need to unlock the phone or do anything to the phone other than
simply loading the GPSServer.cab file ..
For step-by-step install info. go to: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=VerizonAGPSFix
To download the CAB go to: http://rapidshare.com/files/165096506/Valhalla_Legends_GPSServer.cab
Show your thanks to Skywing, go to his thread: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424387
I have personal testing this code on my xv6800 with stock ROM, then I
upgraded to the MR1 ROM from HTC for the xv6800 with WM 6.1 and
install the GPSServer.cab and it works perfect for both ROMs without
doing any unlocking or running anything else other then just the GPSServer.cab
BTW for anyone with the stock ROM running WM 6.0 and would like to
upgrade to Windows Mobile 6.1 .. you can download the MR1 ROM direly
from HTC
Again this is the, Verizon XV6800 ROM MR1
Release Date: 2008-08-23
go to: http://www.htc.com/us/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=82&cat=2&dl_id=99
If this link does not work you may need to set your “country” first, (top right of the page “select country” set to “United States”
wow .. update: also found out that gc14 made the CAB file as well..
Thanks again gc14
gc14 post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=2625473&postcount=113
Thanks! It works very good with Google Maps
Is your WIFI works with WM6.1? After I installed MR1, my WIFI is not working anymore. I hope you might be able to help me.
TIA
to all that created this thank you, works flawless on the stock mr2 rom
can't get it to work..
Hi all! I followed this method a while back and had Google maps working great for quite some time! This past weekend I tried to use it with GPS and it couldn't find any satellites. I figured it was maybe too much cloud cover or other interference related to my location. Anyhow, yesterday I updated my XV6800 to MR2, installed the latest Google maps (3.0.0.12) and still cannot get it to find any satellites. after playing with the COM ports and location setting (currently COM4 and Loc ON) without success I installed GPS Toggle, which also cannot find any satellites.
Anyone have any suggestions to get this working again? Does this even work with MR2? I'd be happy to go back to MR1, though MR2 seems to be a little smoother and faster.
Thanks!

Read the last couple of pages
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=424387
thanks drewcam888. I'll check it out this afternoon and let you know how I make out.
BTW, I was looking around my device and I found a different version of gpsapi.dll (hidden) in the Windows directory. I'm thinking this may be the problem. It won't let me modify it though, as it's a system file. I can view it using SKTools, but not modify it.
Can you recommend a file manager program that'll let me move / copy / replace system files?
Thanks!
You can't modify a rom file or one that is created by the rom itself. Or at least I don't know how
Hello,
I'm pretty new here and new to the XV6800. I have a rom version that I downloaded from htc site that under device info reads 3.57.605.1 I don't know what MR1 or MR2 is or is mine an MR3?? Also I have a Radio version of 3.37.75?? My question is can I install this to get GPS or AGPS working on my device? Do I have to install a different radio to get it working?
Thanks,
Chris

Read the thread for a while that drewcam8888 lists above "adapter program to ......" and then make sure you change the registry settings as it describes for Valhalla in the posts from the past couple of days. I believe I posted #627 which has the places to edit for Valhalla. Listen to what others say to make sure you have everything right.
mine failed around the same time but using a different set of cab files which had worked flawlessly on both previous installs of MR1 . Is this perhaps something from verizon?....Anyway having not installed from a wrar file before how do you install the valhalla cab when the redirects disconnect from the server?
I have a xv6800 and i got it last week, the person that i got it from updated the rom. a couple days ago i cleared the storage, which i guess is a hard reset, but i wanted to know if that resets my Rom
thanks
Tyve
resets to a fresh install of your current rom. It removes all none rom files.
so do i hav to re-hack the rom to use google maps?
i have no idea wut im doing,
thanks
Yes you do
dang, that sux. thanks a bunch
my ROM version is 3.57.605.2 does anyone know if that is hacked or not?
Not it is stock verizon MR2
ok, do u know an easy way to hack it, im only 14 and i suk at hacking it
I just got a used HTC Universal. It had a generic WM5 install on it. I came here, looking for a WM6.x ROM. A couple years ago, I had great success doing this with an HTC Wizard (which I still have) -- I know how to flash a ROM. However, with the Universal, I am not having any luck.
The device comes up in bootloader mode just fine. But no ROM I have tried, ever boots up. I have tried the MTTY DOC format, I have tried using MaUpgradeUT, I have tried using the ROMUpgradeUT.exe that comes with the ROM's... nothing seems to work. If I understand the various posts here -- the device is acting like the Carrier ID is still set, and no ROM will work until I clear the CID and/or find a ROM that matches the CID. But, I thought that the MAUpgradeUT was supposed to clear out the CID? Is there another utlity for that?
I have spent basically 8 hours today, trying to get this to work... I am willing to ship this to someone in the US and pay $$$ to get it working again. It's a nice device (looks brand new) and I really want to use it. It was working just fine on WM5, until I got the bright idea to re-flash it.
Can anyone help?
hi again... found a copy of TML v8[1].7.1 21028 regular 64MB and IT WORKED!. My phone is no longer stuck in bootloader limbo.
however, this ROM seems to be hard-wired to look for a TMobile network? I have an AT&T GSM SIM... my phone isn't connecting to my provider, at the moment.
THanks to all for past and future help.
