WM5 Rogers ROM

Does anyone have, or know where I might be able to find a Rogers WM5 ROM for the TyTN? Is this even possible to find or am I SOL?

I'm looking for one also

Same here.. I would like to have one onhand just in case something goes wrong with my phone and I need to send in for repairs.
I have the WM6 Rom from HTC's official site installed right now (working perfectly by the way), and not too sure if Rogers would support a return if something went wrong.
Thanks

i just got my new rogers tytn today. I was planning on making a backup and updating ROM. if this is WM5 i will post backup file once I figure out how to do this.

That would be awesome as I am sure lots of here would appreciate a backup incase of warranty triggered

Alright... so I am going to get to this tomorrow morning - but I have no clue how to backup the existing ROM. I see a lot on how to install a NEW ROM, but nothing that I can find about the backup.
Can somebody guide me in the right direction so that I don't screw this up! LOL
Thanks

Bump......

If I am not mistaken somebody has already done this.
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_DumpedRoms
I will just have to find out how I check which one i have.

Is there somebody that can do this to the Rogers ROM?
http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=Hermes_HowtoReconstruct
I believe that will do what you need in order to flash the original ROM back onto your device.
My brain is getting sore from all of the reading about all of this. Sometimes I think life would be easier if I wasn't a "geek".

I'm probably a newb to this, but I've managed to create my own rogers ROM and have it successfully work. The only thing missing my own precompiled ROM was the Rogers splash screen and the Radio which is suppose to be 1.42...
If there is somewhere I can upload the packaged Rogers ROM please let me know and I'll quickly upload it for everyone.

the files in the Rogers rom are all RAW files. how do you load it to your device?

ziadsa, thank you very much. I am looking at moving to a new phone, even though the TyTN has served me well, so I want to pass it on in original condition. Of course, I will be pointing the new owner to xda-developers. The next owner may want more from the phone, like I got.

I now have the original ROMs back in place and it works beautifully, but the splash screen still shows PDAviet.
Does anyone know how to correct this and get the Rogers screen back in place? I know this forum has been quiet for a long time, so if I don't get a response here, I will try with a new thread.
Thanks in advance.

Upgrade of ROM for Magic from official HTC website

Hello. I've bought HTC Magic recently. It is version 32a, as it has 288 MB of RAM.
Currently the build version is 2.16.*
So I wanted to download and upgrade to latest rom version 2.20.401.2 from HTC.
After putting my S/N HT97******** it shows me Sorry, this software download is not suitable for your device..
Is here anyone who could help me please?

If you **** around too much on the htc home pages you do not get to download any update. I do not know why it is so but so it was with me,
So turn off your browser to try again. or get a new IP address
Or **** in the slow updates and root your phone it takes five minutes. Then your phone will be double as fast .???????????

OK, I've tried changing the browser, deleting browser's cache, reconnecting to the other wifi (so other IP), but all without success.. Thanks anyway Any other suggestions please?

Try to morrow.

Kk, but I don't think it's the reason because it didn't work already when I visited HTC website for the very first time and as I wrote, I tried it with different IPs, browsers etc.. but anyway, I'll give it a try

Is the update for your phone, ie the country its from? Otherwize sn will be wrong

Actually I thought the same firstly.. but I'm from Czech Republic and on the box of phone is written that it's for sales in CZ (Czech Republic) (and some other european countries), so it shouldn't be problem there

Nope, its wasnt a major upgrade like sense or anything so I didnt bother. Got sick of waiting for htc to give the sense update so rooted and running MYHERO now, should have done it long ago

Pfff.. that's like soooooooooooo 10am! lol
Cheers Neil.

Just a quick question about the new Rom Update.
I'm currently waiting for T-Mobile to release there version of the Rom update from version 1.43 to 1.66.
I can get a copy of the 1.66 official Rom Update from the HTC website (my mate has a HTC HD2 which is unbranded).
Could i update my Rom using the download? Would it cause any problems to the phone?
Many thanks.

any noticed anything different?

I have an Uk version on O2 but its not taking my serial... any ideas?
surely I don't have to wait the O2 customised rom?
Does this at all stop the sluggishness and freezing from time to time

O2 and VF both run locked ROMs - the S/Ns need to be cleared by O2/VF/HTC to allow download...

any workarounds? ;-D

rom update 1.66
Hi,
After I update the rom to the latest 1.66, do i need to install the previous updates on the htc website such as the sim contacts and camera fix.
Thanks

For future reference, it tells you the max ROM version that you need the hotfixes for, on the page where you download them.
In this instance, there haven't been any that have had a ROM version higher than 1.66, so no - you don't need them

I haven't found anything noticeable except a lower screen sensitivity and some value added applications.

Before I update my ROM, I read this
"The update will take up to 30 minutes, DO NOT interrupt the update process, make/receive phone calls, disconnect the device from the PC, or press any buttons until the process has been completed."
And wondered how I can stop any incoming calls, messages, mails etc. Should I just put it into airplane mode or something?

kindly help me to debrand my T-MOBILE HD2

Hello everyone!
i have one t-mobile branded firmware htc hd2 which i bought it from and uk based ebay seller..its unlock..and i can recieve and make calls..
but im not able to use internet on the phone bcos it has settings for t-mobile network..
and i also tried to upgrade it through htc website but whenever im trying it says these updates are not for this serial number...
kindly help me in debranding my phone so that i can use this in australia with full functions..thanks a lot in advance..
trust me that would be a great help from you.

If this is a UK T-Mob HD, then its a contract phone and seems strange that it is up for sale so soon. Unless it has been stolen - I don't think we should help with stolen phones, unless you're willing to gvie me the IMEI number so I can check here with T-Mob.

Im not exactly sure if you want help making your internet work with your sim, or if you want help taking the tmobile rom off and putting a stock or custom one on..
If you just want help with internet settings then download the attached file and install on your phone. Then run the connection setup program in the start menu, connections screen and it should set up your internet and mms settings for the network you select (if its available).
If you want to put a custom rom on your device then follow my flashing a leo rom for noobs link in my signature to install HardSPL and then you can flash any of the roms in the rom development section to take off the tmobile branding and give you whatever you want.

What network are you trying to use it with?
I'm not too sure if you can change the connection settings easy on the T-Mobile ROM, I'd recommend flashing with the HTC unbranded ROM and then you can just select your service provider and it all works sweet.

I work for T-mobile and the only way you can change these settings is indeed to change to HTC unbranded ROM or any other ROM of your choice.

You must have flashed one of the TMobile Test Roms during your travels, which has that splash screen on it. Custom Roms dont include a splash screen so it wont be overwritten when flashing other roms afterwards.
Download the attachment and unzip to a folder on your pc. Sync using your usb cable and run the included customruu.exe file to flash back the original htc splash screen.

Cant download new ROM 1.72 from htc

Hello, i have a htc hd2 on tmobile, but the phone its self isnt marked as t-mobile anywhere on it.
I selected to mobile
htc.com/uk/SupportDownload.aspx?p_id=297&cat=2&dl_id=936
and entered my S/N but it said my model isnt supported!
Why is this? will it do any harm to get the rom elsewhere and download it anyway? im guessing the S/N check is there to make sure that i dont download it for a reason.
Is there anywhere i can get the 1.72 rom for mmy phone? i am currenttly on 1.66 rom.
Thank You

i also have a HD2 without any branding visible, yet when i entered my s/n it went straight through...
however, the 1.72 rom i downloaded was a tmobile branded rom...perhaps the s/n are pre-registered to tmobile from the htc factory???

UK Vodafone
Here is the link for the Vodafone 1.77....

go look in rom development section, leo official roms thread, first post first link, all the branded and unbranded stock roms.

sorry, i cant find the s/n in that post, there are hundreds of pages!
I want to be safe and download direct from theri website really.

I think he was trying to direct you here..........
You'll find the rom you need in here without having to use a s/n...
They're exactly what you'd get from the HTC site, for some reason the download from HTC keeps cutting out so I'm just getting it from here.
Hope that helps......

ok, thank you very much!
ive just downloaded the TMO UK 1.72 and tried flashing it, but i recieve an invalid vendor ID error message.
I recieve a text from t-mobile today, telling me that i can update my phone to this rom, so i dont see why it shouldnt be compatible!
Any way of forcing it to flash?
p.s i bought this phone online as a generic phone from mobilephonesdirect.co.uk.
I am on contract with t-mobile
any ideas?

what is the HTC_HD2_RUU_Leo_HKCSL_WWE_172 rom?
It over 395 people have downloaded it, is this a generic one? it seems to be a higher version to the tmobile one which i have been advised to update too.
Thanks

As far as I know wwe is the generic one, i cant give you an answer as to whether thats the one you need or not, if it wont let you flash the T-Mo rom then I'd guess you need the wwe, like I said I'm not sure though.....

ok, ill see how it goes. It is slightly annoying tho, does the t-mobile rom give you better reception? im just thinking that if i switch to a generic rom, then there wont be the specific t-mobile radio anymore. (if there is such a thing!)

I get the same error message... Invalid vendor ID!...
.............................................

Omg whats happened! My phone has got stuck on the htc screen!!

It didnt even flash anything it said! What can i do!!??

Sorry to hear that, i notice your other post saying a hard reset fixed it....
I guess your going to need to read through a lot of threads to find out which rom you need for your phone, the answer will be in here somewhere......... sorry i cant help you any more than that...
