New ROM for Mogul?

Anyoen else having problems with ROM 2.09.651.3 radio: 1.32.00 with Sprint? When I use .NET applications like ConnectWise and open the keypad, it types in symobols and is a known issue with, HTC, Sprint, ConnectWise.
I called Connectwise and they have their patch ready, but are awaiting the ROM upgrade from Sprint to test. I called Sprint and the awesome TS lady told me that you never have been able to upgrade ROM on any phone... ever... I promptly hung up on her and called HTC. They said they Sprint develops the firmware and HTC has already "given" it to them. Contacted Sprint again, and they said it was a known issue with the phoen, but have no clue when the ROM will be updated....
I know you all have better connections then I do, obviously if I am calling TS for Sprint, and was wondering if anyone knew when the enxt version of Firmware is comming out. I could care less about the GPS, I do care about EVDO Rev-A and various other fixes.
This is a huge problem... anyone else having these issues with .NET programs on their Sprint Mogul?

check out the Hard-SPL thread in this forum. then you can load an alltel rom and i can confirm that the .net 2.0 keyboard problem is fixed. Also, the radio version in that rom is 1.40. If you have any problems you can always go back to the sprint rom so give that a shot.

Have you tried the alltel rom yet? Im curious as to whats different from a sprint rom (besides the sprint junk) because I hear it has working (better) pic messaging and a few other updates compared to sprints current one...

There is a thread on ppcgeeks where they compare the two. dcd posted a pretty long write up in one of them.

I have read quite a few threads over at ppcgeeks, and it still didn't help me out. What are the downfalls of the Alltel ROM? Does it in fact work with picture/video mail, what are the downsides of the Alltel ROM? If I have a problem with the phone, how do I get support or CAN I get support with that ROM?

As far as I've read so far, people seem to like the Alltel ROM better and prefer it over the Sprint one. It is a newer version OS than the one currently on the Mogul so it's probably a little better. I've been told that MMS does work in the Alltel ROM with a reg tweak for it to work with your carrier. As far as support, what do you mean support? Do you mean from Sprint? I wouldn't take your phone in to Sprint for repair/replacement with an Alltel ROM loaded on it. I don't think that would fly too well. No worries though, if you need to get support for you phone, you can always flash back to an OEM ROM.
Hope that helps!

Any word if it fixes sprints bluetooth fiasco?

Orange Touch 3G flash

Hi all,
I recently got hold of a Touch 3G for a friend, and he is having a few issues with the Unique / UMA connectivity (surprise).
My question, do any of the other Touch 3G ROMS out there (like the vanilla HTC one) have the UMA / Unique feature? or would we lose that function with a reflash?
Anyone out there done such a thing, there seems to be little info about UMA / Unique anywhere, I am surprised.
Thanks in advance,
Mark

there is little info on the unique stuff because it's fairly pointless and not very well done by orange.
I reflashed mine to a custom rom to get rid of all the orange customizations like that

Unique seemed a little pointless to me. I flashed to a normal HTC WWE ROM and was done with it. Obviously I still have wifi etc, and really, unique seemed pointless. In order to get the phone and not pay a fortune for it, you needed to get an expensive contract with lots of minutes anyway so you might as well use them.

Thanks for the responses
... but the reason for using Unique is NO cellphone signal at home, or in fact for a large region of the local area (you would not think we lived in the South East of England would you.)
So I take it that there is no UMA functionality in any of the better alternative ROMs for the Touch 3G/Jade, pity.
I know that there are a number of other threads on the subject, but any other thoughts on how to get the best out of it rather than abandon it altogether???
Cheers
MS

I would imagine that the unique part is just a few apps, I don't see a reason why one of the developers couldn't pull it out for you. and then you would just install the app on a cutom rom.
I don't know if this would work but i see no reason why it shouldn't it's just a matter of getting the right apps, in fact you could do it yourself.
if you look at the kitchen i think it tells you have to download you current rom and extract it, then find the right apps and try to install a custom rom and then install the apps.
it might work and you could alwasy go back if it doesn't.
I think i would keep the unique stuff on the phone if it wasn't for that fact that it makes the wifi so hard to use.

UMA on T-Mobile
Anyone figured out how to do UMA on T-Mobile?

Still struggling! HD2 on O2, no support! (edited!)

When i turn my HD2/Leo on, i get a box saying 'cannot connect modem, click here to check settings' or some rubbish
I normally press dismiss and thats that. However, now and again i'll get a screen come up from windows live saying there has been a problem and it keeps repeating, a bit like a bad curry.
I have problems connecting to mobile internet (not over wifi) so I phone O2, they say i need to switch wifi off to connect to 3G internet, i question what about when i'm out and about and no where near wifi? They say, yes or it won't connect. They aint got a clue! My understanding is that if a wifi connection is available then it'll use it, if not if reverts back to 3g, edge etc
I'm currently stuck on the 1.43 ROM, although I'm not sure if a ROM upgrade would do anything, and even if it did, i gotta piss about putting all the stuff and settings correct again (unless there is a back up program?)
How do i get the stock ROM back on if i ever send it back, and do away with the HSPL and put the phone back to standard?
If i do upgrade the ROM, it'll be to a genuine HTC one, hopefully without all the O2 rubbish they insist on messing up the phone with!

I'll be as blunt with you as you've been with your post. I could quite happily help you, but I ain't gonna do it until you edit out all the swearing on your post. I'm not a prude, but you're just plain rude to assume that that's okay.
You'll need to go into advanced mode to edit the title.
Thanks.

ive give up on htc hd2 now im gettin a iphone 3gs from o2 as replacement

Doing it now! I'm just so angry with this phone! Sorry!

That's cool mate - thanks for changing it. We're not all foul mouthed adults on here (I am, just to be clear, just not on the forums )
The message dialog you mention about not being able to connect is just an issue with software trying to use the connection before it's available. I'm hoping that this will be fixed by HTC, but having to close a dialog once every 4 or 5 times I reboot is no big deal so I can live with that.
The wifi problem you mentioned sounds compacted by an idiot at O2 not knowing what they're talking about. I've found that O2 CS range from very helpful and informed, all the way down to bog dwellers who prefer to hang up than listen. (I like to call them Stig.)
Basically, leave the Wifi off, unless you intend on using it. I only say that because of the amount of battery drain you'll get with it constantly searching for wireless sources. As far as the connection goes, yes, you're right. It should use Wifi over 3G, but use 3G if there's no Wifi (or 2G if there's no 3G), whether it's switched on or not.
You may need to check your settings. I'm on O2, so I can give you mine and see if they help.
As far as ROMs go, it's unclear, to be honest, as to what was fixed and whether anything was fixed for everyone or just a few. The whole ROM upgrade and hotfix thing has been very ambiguous, and HTC's descriptions don't help.
Try flashing a newer ROM, if you're up for starting from scratch again. You'll have to use Goldcard or HSPL to do this though, as you can normally only flash O2 ROMs on O2 phones. If you ever needed to send the phone back to O2 then you'd need to flash the original ROM on there first. I believe there's a thread in the ROM section that has the vendor provided stock ROMs, so that's the best thing to look for.
I hope this helps. If, you don't get anywhere with any of this advice then you may simply have a faulty phone. I assume O2 would just replace it for you (or put it in a new box and send it back).
Let us know if you want my O2 settings.

Cheers for that John.
I'm unsure about flashing ROMS to be honest, especially when there is no obvious advantage. It's not that i don't feel confident in doing it, it's if and when the phone needs to go back. I gather that once the HSPL is on there, that's it?
I'm going to see how i get on tonight with it (working nights) and if there's no improvement then I'll have a look around for a Standard Rom to flash, and a program to back the phone up.
I too can live with the modem message, although I can't believe HTC (who are coming through in the market) offer so little support!
I also, don't think O2 should have branded this phone, they didn't with the Iphone, so why these? It just makes support so much harder!

Apple doesn't allow the branding of iphones. Everything has to be Apple's way. If O2 was allowed to brand it they would have.

The oPhone?

Lol, if I don't get the hang of this phone soon, i'll be going back to an oPhone!
Seriously, i'll persevere! John, any idea how to get rid of the Sent from my HTC from the end of emails?

Northernneil,
If you are thinking of changing roms then the stock 1.48 is what is available right now from HTC officially. There are cooked roms on here as well but I would take your time and stick with something that is "familiar", ie the stock roms from HTC, until you get up to speed, knowledge wise.
In terms of backup software try using Sprite Backup or SPB Backup to backup your mail, contacts, etc. Once you have installed a new rom you can restore these items but DO NOT restore your old rom system settings. If you download a trial copy of SPB Backup you will see what I mean.
No offence but please read the relevant threads on here on rom flashing BEFORE you jump in, then read them again so you have a thorough understanding of what you are doing. Good for you to know how to retrieve the situation if it goes wrong.
Hope this is helpful to you.
WB
PS To get rid of the Sent message at the bottom of your emails or even modify it to your taste, do the following on your device:
Go to All Messages then select that so that you can see a list of messages. Then goto Menu>Tools>Options and click on the Signatures box.
Next, from the drop down menu, select your email account. You will see a large bos open up with Sent ...in it.
Delete or change to something of your liking, click OK, job done.

PS You can download the manual direct from HTC as a pdf file.

Question for HD2 roms

Hello,
A couple of questions I wouldn't mind u guys answering please..
I have updated the SPLon the HD2 I am on T-mobile UK network without issue.
Q2 Now with the amount of roms available which ones are compatible with t-mobile i.e normal operation? Reading through some threads it appears that T-mobile have restricted some functionality on the HD2.
So I am looking for a compatible rom, that unlocks the features and of course ensure phone stability.
my rom is 1.43.110.2(70315) WWE
radio version 2.04.50.22_2
Thanks in advance
Dave

there are no roms that are not compatible with any network.
the issues are generally that the data connection doesn't get set up correctly, but it's a breeze to set them up manually.

Ok thanks I will give it a go, any recommended version comes to mind?
thanks

personally, Duttys HG ROMs are sweet, the latest is linked on my signature

roms are a very personal thing. the one in my sig is my fave just like eddyos prefers dutty.
try them, see which you like and use it.

Great stuff,
I appreciate both of your inputs!!!
I am on a learning curve with all this, I have just had to reset my SPL back to default this afternoon which freaked me out as I have a screen problem with a LCD leak, and learned that HTC dont like customisations which will invalidate the gaurantee; but the SPL reload worked ok, and a perfectly described process on youtube thanks to this site and contributers.
I have only had this phone for two weeks. However, I am confident now with upgrading when I get my phone back.
Regards
Dave

ahh unlucky. still, at least you had a practice run eh? better luck next time!

htc hd2 telstra australia

I purchased this phone on Ebay and didnt realise at the time that it came pre loaded with Telstra software which prevents me form accessing the net etc. I am with "3" and would prefer to keep the phone - can anyone help solve this issue?

your quick fix would be to Flash a new Rom

Thanks for that. Next question - is how do I do that, where do I go, do I need to do via computer/net or phone/net - never done anything like it. Cheers

Wow. Could probably do this.
This is all about getting a phone for my sister who has vey poor reception at her farm in the country but where my HD2 works great. None of her three children who all have different types of phones gets as good as reception has the HD2. She wants to buy a phone doesn't want to get it home and find the reception is poor and having wasted her money. I could sell her mine (as I quite like the look of the Desire) and try to tweek it - or she could get one of her own from ebay (item 300447152858) which has already been done. Question then is, will it have the same reception - what part of the phone tells me that sort of info.

the very first thing that you're gonna have to do is flash an older Telstra ROM after you HSPL it. then you can flash whatever ROM you want. i speak from experience. good luck!

no no no... The Telstra phone doesn't prevent you from connecting to the net, it simply doesn't have the settings to connect to 3...
Ring 3 and get all the settings and create a new connection on your HD2...

Actually, whilst you'll get your 3 sim working, you'll have problems getting any desent net connection
Advise, actually flashing HSPL & then custom rom. It all takes a bit of time reading & understanding how it all works but trust me its the best thing to do.
I had probs getting my 3 sim working properly but eversince I started using custom roms, on 1st boot the device picks up the 3 settings automatically & runs perfect

As far as reception goes, your best bet is to stick to telstra. Or 3 as a second option, which runs on the telstra network when roaming.

that's actually more because the cooked roms generally contain the.global connectionsetup program that includes settings for most carriers than the rom itself. you can find it as a cab, which should work on the stock Telstra rom.
