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.
So bluetooth was all updated/improved in Android 1.5 and I've loved being able to use bluetooth stereo for listening to music.
However, I'm having real problems using my headset as a hands-free kit now - I don't get any sound through the speaker, if I switch from bluetooth to the handset the speaker handset doesn't work either.
I have to then reboot phone to get speaker on handset working again. I have not been able to make a call using the headset.
I've tried two different headsets I have with the same results.
Any ideas?
Thanks
did you update the radio? i have same problem. I did a search today and thats all i've been able to find. I can't test it till later but i updated my radio. i got the file from dudeoflife's post in the development subforum. good luck
I just applied the UK update.zip that was posted on another thread on this forum.
Any luck getting bluetooth working in calls?
I applied the update from this thread:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=512325&page=2
Not sure if it includes the radio update - anyone know where I can get this (phone was stock, unrooted, RC9 before applying update)
I'm having the exact same problem Have tried calling T-Mobile in the UK to see if they have a solution. They suggested a factory reset, but it didn't solve the problem.
Check your baseband version - what does it say?
My baseband version is: 62.33.20.08U_1.22.12.29
The latest is apparently: 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I
No matter what I do I can't seem to update the radio to a more recent version

I have the latest - 62.50S.20.17U_2.22.19.26I ... If you're hoping that will fix the problem, it looks like you're in for a disappointment.
Bluetooth headset not working
My bluetooth headsets were not working with 1.5. I updated to radio 1.5, and now they are working. I downloaded the radio image here http://www.htc.com/www/support/android/adp.html

Not sure if it is what you're looking for (the version is off by one character - H vs U), but I was able to update to 62.50S.20.17H_2.22.19.26I using the file referenced in This Post
Does anyone know if the rom (Version 1.17.531.6) available for download at T-mobile's site has WM6.5 on it?
where? I couldn't find it.
if it says anything about being the HTC issued hotfix for system hang, it does not have the 6.5 in it.
No its not 6.5, just a couple bug fixes and better 3G switching
October 6 on the stock ROM upgrade is the rumor
note: rumor
It would be good if we can get just the RADIO rom out of this........would maybe fix some of those dropped calls I am experiencing.
Go here, post #3. Follow ALL instructions and HardSPL!! This is the Radio from the latest Dash3G ROM.

update rom
Hi is there a way to update my dash 3g to the new Version 1.17.531.6 from my phone directly
thanks
negative. It's an executable that runs from a host pc. you just need to have activesync installed on that machine (if it's XP), or any machine with vista or 7 should be able to do it.
About an hour ago I got message that there is an update for my phone. It is HTC Update, not MS one (I already had NODO). It updated my Firmware and Bootloader to latest versions. I already had latest Radio, so I do not know is it also contain latest Radio, but it should.
My previous information:
OS: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware: 2550.09.10908.401
Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Bootloader: haven't wrote version, but it was somthing like (114xxx)
UNLOCKED before NODO update
My new information:
OS: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware: 2550.09.12000.401
Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Bootloader: 1.20.2250.0(117833)
STILL UNLOCKED!
where
where did you get the update?
was it a message on the phone???
thx
Have yet to receive that update on my Vodafone Trophy, but found this insteresting piece of news related to the HTC update:
http://wmpoweruser.com/has-the-htc-update-caused-some-windows-phones-to-go-16-bit/
Santi writes us about a new complaint about a pretty undesirable side-effect of the recent HTC Windows Phone 7 update. He notes some HTC users are reporting color banding/16bit color across the entire OS after the NoDo and/or yesterday’s update.
He notes it seems mainly related to the new firmware FW 2250.09.11001 and FW 2250.09.12000, with the OS version making no difference and is present on the HTC 7 Trophy and also HTC HD7.
Santi has some more pictures of the banding issue which results in his dropbox account here.
To check if your phone is affected, download this image and view it in the Pictures and Videos hub. it should display without banding.

Yes I get message on the phone. Then I connected to Zune and update.
I was curious to see what will happen if user doesn't have latest Radio, so I flashed my phone with older release of ansar's ROM (7004 OS with 5.52 Radio). I know that someone will ask that once, and I had a little free time.
First I got notification about February update and clicked install later.
I unlocked my phone and installed patch to prevent relocking. Then I installed February update.
Immediately after that I got March update notification but there was also a notice about HTC Update, so I got BOTH NODO and latest HTC update AT ONCE. This update takes VERY LONG (40 minutes maybe), and I do not count download time there.
Result is same:
OS: 7.0.7390.0
Firmware: 2550.09.12000.401
Radio: 5.54.09.21_22.33b.50.10U
Bootloader: 1.20.2250.0(117833)
It looks like I got the firmware-update too, when I got my march update from ms...
But I dont see a difference :S

My phone is Vodafone DE (unbranded with ansar's ROM).
I downloaded this image, converted that image to JPG (for some reason I can not add PNG to my phone via Zune ?!).
I also downloaded image from here, and cut off the left part, and left only original image.
I can see that my phone is 16bit now (why I have a feeling that I will restore old ROM to see was it 24bit earlier? ), but on my phone picture of that girl looks MUCH BETTER than on part I cut off.
Strange!
Just thought I'd say... Just updated my Trophy to Firmware: 2550.09.12000.707
Hey i was wondernig since I have a custom ROM on my htc trophy and the official tango update is coming out tomorrow (aug. 1). How am i able to get that Rom? Can i just plug my phone in and click update or will that brick it?

Keep checking Footballs rom thread, I'm sure if there is an official rom, that they will have it. He normally post the roms a few weeks before Verizon allows updating to Zune.
If you expect Verzion to release it's Trophy Tango update the same day as everyone else, don't. I honestly think HTC is the hold up, since they treat the CDMA Trophy on Verizon differently, but we probably won't see the official update for a few months.
As for updating your custom rom, don't. If the updates to apply, you'll almost guaranteed to loose tethering in the process (since tethering isn't supported in the official WIRELESS drivers that would be included in an update). Wait for new custom rom's instead.
Felt I had to amend my previous post in this thread. The Tango update actually includes tethering officially now. Football hasn't had any luck finding an official Tango rom yet though. And we did get Tango the same day as everyone else... so Verizon must really be throwing some serious support behind Windows Phone now.. I bet we'll see a Nokia WP7 or even WP8 on Verizon sometime soon!

I certainly hope for 8 in the next few months! But in the meantime, I'm sure a XevRev rom based off the official vzw tango rom would suffice
Well, the problem is that there isn't an official Verizon tango rom yet.
This isn't a huge problem, as I have updated my official based Mango 8107 test rom to 8773 with no hitches. After updating the sys, its a simple matter of updating the driver cabs in the rom, producing a rom that is basically going to be identical to the official Verizon Tango image you get via Zune update, but with full unlock and some of the added nokia fun from Dynamics7.
XevRev is close to being finished. I'm hoping to take the time after work tomorrow to cook up the final version and send it to a few people to test (although it shouldn't need much testing since I have my own person test phone).
XevRev will be based on Dynamics7 1.21 (for Titan) from ultrashot.
That's not even the exciting part!
Thanks to ultrashot's input, we managed to get the entire programming menu and programming function up and running with full unlock! I wish I would have had more time this week to build the finished release... you know what, I'll get the thing cooked, test it myself.. and then just release it for public testing.
Downside: We'll be stuck with the Mango v3 8017 radio until I either a) I build a custom cab that can be pushed to the phone b) manage to extract the radio and adapt it to be flashed using the rom method in my rom thread (unlikely).
XevRev will basically be the following:
Verizon OEM base (not Spark Euro like other SparkW roms that are out now)
Dynamics7 1.21 with custom nokia stuff removed (broke too much stuff) except for Nokia blue-tooth contacts transfer.
Newest xap installer from ultrashot (this is what really makes programming and stuff work!)
Yuki cert
Add Bazaar for WP7 and Reinstaller out-of-box from official market place (cause if people haven't used Reinstaller... they will now that they know it exist!)
If I got time, I'm guna replace Slacker radio with Last.FM cause Slacker sucks.... why would I do that? CAUSE I CAN DURR~
Netflix is byebye.
I'll prob release four versions of this rom:
1) Verizon OEM - English only
2) Verizon OEM - International
3) Verizon OEM removed - English only
4) Verizon OEM removed - International
I don't see a point in making a version with the Euro oem package... I always ended up removing those apps anyway.
I have found no way to install the official updates from Verzion onto this rom (OS works okay, but driver package fails). I'm guessing this is because, when SPL fails to update cause HSPL v3 stops it, the entire processes is aborted.
I'll try to get a test version of English only build out. If that goes well, I'll release the other flavors quickly after. The international version will include all the language support found in Dynamics7 1.21.
