I'm currently using an HTC Touch (Vogue, Unlocked, Custom Rom, yadda yadda yadda) and I recently came to acquire a used HTC P4000 (Telus's Titan version).
I still have some monkeying around to do with the P4000 (Upgrade to newest official rom among other things.) to see if I'm interested in using it as my primary phone instead of the Touch. Can someone explain if it's possible to have the P4000 running on the Bell network- and who I'd have to talk to in order to set that up.
I'm assuming that it would need to be unlocked first (not sure how to do the p4000, I did my Vogue without any issues though).
Alrighty then.
Did a little forum lurking and I now have a fully unlocked P4000 running DCD's 4.1.2 rom with the Bell Carrier. Boots instantaneously and works wonderfully. The man is a bloody genius.
Now, as to my original question - I have my MSL for both my current HTC Touch/Vogue (Bell) and my recently acquired P4000 (Telus).
Is there a way/method/guide I can follow to manually program the P4000 to work on the Bell network in place of my Touch?
Do I find an underhanded/former/corrupt Bell employee that will transfer my settings for $25?
Do I see my friend who has a friend who's cousin knows this stuff?
Do I take it to the Bell store and say "My phone no workie, I has replacement, make workie?"
I hate to trash on my Vogue but this P4000 is pretty effing slick. Gotta love the Wi-Fi and actual movie acceleration for non-horrible playback.
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Your biggest problem will be to see Bell will accept the P4000 ESn number in there database. If they won't then flashing and unlocking isn't worth your time.
I am almost certain I am the very first in the entire country to have the Telstra Version of the hd2 with incredibly fast 3g on AT&T 3G HSDPA and this thing is like a rocket ship. Will post photos shortly and received at 8:30 a.m. C.S.T. Thanks, Kevin
Can't be bothered.
Did you order it online?

No, I have a good friend in Australia who I met on eBay when I also purchased the Touch HD T8285 who was nice enough to pick this up for me last week and even before they went on sale. JB HIFI had them a limited amount on sale at their stores and Serkan my friend literally got me the last one available in the entire country this past Friday. Would have had yesterday but custom's held it for 24 hrs.
Are you using the Telstra ROM or did you hardspl and put another ROM on? Also, if you are using the Telstra ROM, what does it come with and does it limit you on at&t? In other words, does it have the youtube app and does it work properly and does the MMS for at&t work along with IE & Opera browers? Wondering if there is a proxy issue or not with Telstra ROM. Congrats on the HD2 on at&t. I will have mine on Friday!
I'm a Canadian -- Telus customer -- and I'll be tacking up this honour on the Canadian side on Saturday when I return from vacation with my freshly-purchased Telstra HTC HD2 in-hand.

I had some sort of issue using the Telstra ROM for data on Vodafone AU (I have a pre-paid SIM with them while I'm down here).
Once I HSPL'd and flashed a custom ROM (highly recommended!) it was fine.
Interesting: The box the phone came in says "T9193" but the device identifies to ActiveSync as "T8585".
Mine will be here friday morning FEDX....
friday night will be flashing a new rom.
cant wait.

It does that after you put a custom ROM on. I was wondering the same thing on previous phones I have had after I put on another ROM.

I am quite busy today yet will promise to answer all questions and post many photos this evening. fyi, the reason active sync says t8585 is because it will only say t9193 if you have the telstra rom on there otherwise once hspled and flash a new rom it changes. Odd. 2. mine is already hspled with the best rom for this device in my humble opinion dutty's. his roms are always the fastest, close to the htc stock rom's without alot of unnecessary apps, and most consistent out there. kevin

I would agree... Hey, did Dutty take his rom down..? Can't find the download link. I know he was NOT doing .1922 anymore because of issues.
any SMS lag?
So, how it's going!!!

Can't wait your photos and impressions. Can you tell me about this:
1-How is the speed in 3G, can you measure it?
2-ROM version (original from Telstra and witch is the one you flashed)
3-What you can't do that you should do
4-SMS delay
5-Did your phone detect the AT&T network in the moment you turn it on with the AT&T sim?
6-Anything else that you consider important
Also, where I can find the best tutorial to flash an HD2, something made for "Dummies"
Thanks

Photos forthcoming and apologies again to all for no update last night:
1. SMS AND MMS works just fine but you must have the telstra radio 2.61 installed or it does not work at all. No lag whatsoever.
2. Telstra ROM appeared from only having it on my device for like 30 minutes to have all the features that the uk version had which I also owned from day one till this past weekend.
3. Telstra ROM like with the touch hd t8285 is completely unusable in that you can't do anything with it like say internet for everything is configured for that network and the internet settings cannot be changed or hacked. Yes, it detected my at&t sim immediately and the big H showed up on the phone.

Well the T-Mobile version has weird UMTS bands, so unless you're on T-Mobile it'll be useless to you.
Hi all,
I've successfully flashed my genuine T-Mobile HTC SP5m in the past and now I'm about to buy this "china made" version of the HTC Touch and I'd like to know if I'll be able of flashing this "fake" HTC Touch to the most recent ROM available, e.g. WM6.5 instead of the pre-loaded WM6.1?
Here's the "fake" HTC Touch I'm about to buy: http://www.dealextreme.com/details.dx/sku.21069
In the Discussions section of the DX website, a user is asking if this phone is ROM/firmware upgradeable and here's the answer provided, is it true??
Subject: ROM/firmware upgradeable?
CosmoVitelli Tuesday, July 20, 2010 8:40 AM
Without a new ROM image from the manufacturer - forget it.
Simonetti2010 Tuesday, July 20, 2010 8:58 AM
You might want to try http://forum.xda-developers.com/
The guys at XDA Developers have up-to-date ROMs for almost every WM phones released.
CosmoVitelli Tuesday, July 20, 2010 1:26 PM
Wrong. XDA Dev is focussed on genuine HTC phones, and trying to install a HTC ROM will make any of the chinese copies become a useless brick.

Thanks all for your time and support,

CosmoVitelli is right. I would never by a clone, nor try flashing one. Just spend the extra to buy a ligit phone and have the ability to use XDA!
Thanks for your reply. That's what I finally did, I bought an official HTC XV6900 at half the DX price off eBay, it's new Verizon phone in an opened box. Can't wait to receive it.
I'll have to flash it cause my provider here in Quebec is Fido and not Verizon.
Which firmware with WM6.5 would you guys suggest me?
Thanks all,
highmighty
Thats a vogue, so CDMA, you'll need to head there. They do have FroYo android roms running on it. 6.5 - not sure what roms exist for it.
Are you sure that phone will work for you. It is CDMA, from what I understand, Fido (Rogers) are GSM? I only ask as the DX link was a GSM phone.
Damnit... true, Verizon uses CDMA and my Fido carrier is using GSM, what's next? Reselling the phone as soon as I receive it? I've read somewhere that it is possible to use a CDMA phone on a GSM network, that there are some agreements made between the 2 now, that it will connect to at least the EDGE network but not 3G, etc? Is that true, are you aware of such a thing?
Thank you for your time,
highmighty
I'm not aware of such a thing, we don't seem to have any CDMA here in england, everything is Sim Card GSM Based.
In my honest opinion though, I don't think it will even connect to the GPRS network as there would be nothing telling it teh details (your sim card is not present)
EOF then I guess
Anyone interested by a new HTC CDMA Touch XV6900 currently locked to Verizon??
I'd recommend going to the xda marketplace section in general, you make have some luck there
Could always try to sweet talk the seller into taking a return?
Sorry that I ruined your hopes

So for those like me who purchased a virgin mobile legend we won't get it. Not sure what to do then.
Although it is a virgin phone, all I did to it was unlock it to use with Rogers. What should I do?
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
i have a virgin legend too so am in the same boat...not really surprised that virgin is not coming out with the update - welcome to canada
i really want to flash the unbranded froyo rom that came out today but unfortunately it doesnt look like its possible now...
until we can change our cid's or have a resigned ROM with our cid (BM___001) we would have to root and go with cyanogen 6.1 or another custom rom (not my 1st choice)..
if anyone has a workaround please help us out...thanks in advance
Well I wouldn't mind trying a few ROM's, but I'm a complete join with this stuff. I suppose I need to learn now...

I bought a Legend from Virgin mobile in August. I became tired of their games and recently purchased a sim card from Bell and put it in the Legend. Guess what? It worked no problem. I can tell you I never unlocked my phone. The Virgin Legend did not have any Virgin mobile software or wigets in them. The only place I saw the word Virgin mobile, was in the network operators list, (mobile network settings), and in network operator name,(about phone, settings). These changed from Virgin, to Bell when I put the Bell sim in. I am now wondering if my phone is still branded to Virgin. If it is not, I would suggest to the OP that you terminate your account with Virgin on the basis that they ended your upgrade path, then take your phone over to Bell, or maybe even Rogers. that said, how do we know that rogers would care to license an OTA upgrade for a phone they never sold? At least Bell sold the phone for a few months.
I got my phone from Virgin as well and I am using the modaco stock froyo rom. It is basically stock except it's rooted. The experience will be exactly the same (unlike using other custom roms) Trying to make the new ruu work on a Virgin phone is probably not gonna be much simpler than rooting, so you may as well go the rooting route.

you realize bell=virgin right? bell discontinued the legend so you wont see an update from them either...
Not so my friend. Check out post #14

I figured they (virgin or bell) would either do it really late or not at all. So I debranded it, but got the same error as in the other threads during the upgrade.
Then I decided to try CM 6.1, and the only thing i regret is not trying it sooner. Never going back to sense again, CM is cleaner, faster, with lots more options.

It's based on the vodafone rom that came out couple weeks ago but there is nothing about vodafone in it (no logo nor junk app). It should be identical to the one that came out today (at least from the end-user point of view anyway)
Here is the link:
http://android.modaco.com/content/h...o-rom-for-the-htc-legend-with-online-kitchen/
You guys really need to stop emailing unknowledgable "support staff" and wait for official announcements like this one from the Virgin Mobile Canada twitter feed:
"android update! we'll be offering android 2.2 froyo update for htc legend in mid-january. stay tuned for details."
Looks like official Froyo for our Legends after all!
couldnt possibly wait until jan and dont want any bell stuff on my legend so installed the official htc unbranded froyo rom....

Yeah, I couldn't wait either and put Cyanogenmod on my Legend. My wife will be getting the Virgin update when it's available
Hey guys!
Just to be sure, is Virgin Mobile software version the same as the Bell one?
If so, that means if Virgin get the update, us with a Bell phone will get it to?
Virgin announced the Vibrant's update, and it was rolled out to Virgin, Bell and Sasktel so I assume so yes.
