hey guys,
is there any link where I can download the original telus rom, I tried searching forums but didnt find any links or thread. So, if anyone know how to get back to telus rom please tell
thanks.
It's not possible at the moment. Telus hasn't put out any updates to the Hero yet. Sit tight, I'm sure once HTC puts out the Eclair update, Telus will release shortly aftewards. The original Telus ROM hasn't been customized at all though, other than the Telus APN settings, so I can't see a reason why the Telus-specific ROM would be required, unless it's for warranty reasons.
Hey craig0r, just a few questions. Seems there are few Telus users rooting so its kinda hard to find a "Telus" point of view. How is MoDaCo 3.1? Are you experiecing any issues? Since we cannot go back to Telus ROM, do you have any regrets rooting or installing MoDaCo? Thanks for your input!!

The HTC Music app gets choppy through, when played through A2DP bluetooth. I think I had that problem before I rooted, but I don't remember. It's fine through headphones. That kinda sucks. I really hope it's fixed in eclair. My Vogue with WM 6.5 had no issues like this.
Other than that, I have no complaints at all, it's pretty great. I only had my phone for one day before I rooted it, mind you, so I can't really compare it to the stock ROM's experience.
i just recently got a htc magic with the e911 update just wondering is this is rootable ?
I'm just wondering, have you searched?
Answer is No.
Ok so I got my shiney new HTC Magic from rogers, for f*cking free thanks to that deal that enabled dream owners to get the magic for free. I harassed for a month an a half. But I am loving it, I'm using it as my main phone. But I can't find anything on rooting the new update for the damn thing. Is there even a name for this update. I'm glad I signed that waiver for dream owners. Cuz if I did it for the dream, I would have a useless peice of ****. So as the first guy asked, where is the root?
I have search and i am unable to find a straight answer.

Straight answer: No.
If the update becomes rootable, it would be clear.
but I red that there was a work around like we have to make sure we have the same radio as the new update so like that rogers won't know we are rooted users and dont get the data cut off is that true or it's just bogus?

don't want to upgrade?

You need a rooted phone to get the work around. If you update to the newest update then there is no point in trying this loophole since you have the newest SPL and radio that they want you to have.
The newest update is not rooted.
If you have a Rogers Magic with the new update and ARE NOT using it in Canada on Rogers (ex: in US on ATT), can you change the ROM to a rooted ROM or am I just SOL on Wifi Tether?

That doesn't make much sense -- if the newest updated ROM (1.76.0010 for ROGERS) is not rooted, what makes you think you can change the ROM if your not in Canada? It's still the same unrooted SPL.
If you try using WiFi tethering, you are going to get billed up the ying yang with charges with roaming and tethering charges if you don't have a tethering package.

That is what I was asking, just didn't phrase it right. I've switched to 32A Magic from a MT3G to have 3G bands for AT&T. So far not impressed with this Rogers ROM, almost makes me want to deal with EDGE again just so I can use a ROM that I like. Thanks for your answer.

No problem. Just make sure you watch out for the tethering, heard some bad stories with ROGERS + tethering.
There are so many topics about this now.. you'd think Rogers would do something about it.
What could Rogers possibly benifit from "locking" this phone like this. Kinda takes away from the 'open-sourceness' of the device.

ROGERS just wants you to have their ROM with their applications. That is really all it's about. ROGERS says "we have to test out updates to see if they work with our network" but we all know it's bulls--t; you can flash any ROM and you still receive phone calls, SMS, MMS, internet and still get 3G with no additional billing or problems with your phone.
All they really want is to lock you down so you can't unlock your phone (therefore taking your phone to other providers). You bought the phone from ROGERS, ROGERS wants everyone to know that you are with ROGERS.
Im pretty sure HTC are the ones who locked it when they made this firmware update. Rogers didnt make the update.

Not really, it was probably at Rogers request. If carriers are going to do stuff like that (which they are entitled to), then HTC or Google should make unbranded versions available for people who want the phone, but aren't on that network.

ROGERS is the only one to have the 1.76.0010 SPL for a reason; paid for the SPL and branding on the ROM. They keep implimenting newer systems to try and block out non-ROGER ROMs. They want to lock it down, HTC didn't have to, they have no reason to.
You know what, come to think if it, ROGERS probably knows about the .29 kernal bypass for rooting and are reluctant to update to the newer kernal.
Food for thought!

What is this kernel bypass for rooting that you are talking about? Does it work on the new ROM with Sense?

It only works with the 2.6.29 kernel and it's a slim chance of it happening -- It's basically just brute-forcing root access. Magic 32A has the 2.6.27 kernel and does not have this bug allowing root access.
If you want to know more, search the forums.
hey there im going to be buying another hd2 but this one is going to be tmobile branded..im wondering if theres any roms out there that make the phone close to the unlocked versions from europe and stuff?
like i would just want the useless tmobile apps to be gone while still retaining the stock windows mobile like on the shipped european/asian devices such as 1.66 wwe.
thanks..
Dude, you'll want to look around and flash them to find the one that works best for you.
Hi,
Please forgive me as I have been searching everywhere online and on the forum for my answer.
I have a HTC Legend (Virgin) that is unlocked - Running on Rogers.
1st Question: Is this phone Rootable? I have heard yes and I have heard no, based on the firmware that it is presently running.
2nd Question: Is it possible if the phone is rooted to flash a Basic 2.2 Android Rom (I personally don't use HTC Sense)
The reason I am asking as HTC Announced that 2.2 Will not be updated until Christmas time.
And Before anyone says I should have bought the NEXUS One - The reason - THE SIZE
That phone is huge, I previously had an Xperia X10, which was TOO Big and I quite like the build quality of the Legend.
Thanks for all your Help! I Greatly Appreciate it!
Yes the phone is rootable, but you're right it depends on what version you currently have installed. Check out the android development section to figure out what you can and can't do.
Froyo at christmas is incorrect.
Htc has said all current devices will have froyo before christmas. However speculation says the legend itself should most likely have it in or around august.
Next, if you manage to root your phone you can talk a look in the android development section(again) for the legend and you will find 1 or 2 froyo roms have been ported semi successfully. They work and run but have a few minor problems.
One is the cyogen mod 6 (I probably spelled it wrong)thread.
You cannot flash a stock version of froyo to the legend, you will have to use one of these roms.
Hope I could help. I'm looking at getting the virgin mobile legend myself soon. are you happy so far?
Thanks
Thanks for your info! I was just feeling a little overwhelmed with all the info as I am not really up with all the lingo.
To answer your question about the Legend, I love it! The build quality is Superior, it just fits in your hand so nicely, and looks good there as well.
I have had MANY cell phones in the last 5 years (Well over 40...) and this is one that I know I will keep for a long time... More so than the iPhone.
Cheers.

Hey,
To be honest I took it to an Unlocking place in Vancouver, It took them aprox 20 min to complete, It still has a few Apps for Virgin/Bell on the phone however no where does it have the Virgin Logo Etc. I use the Rogers APN Settings rogers-core-appl1.apn and it works flawless with 3G
I have not been able to get 2.2 onto this phone at this point, I may just wait until it's pushed out by HTC.
This sounds GR8!
I'm waiting for my Legend to arrive any day, now...

Do You know what they did to the phone? To unlock it i mean....
I ordered Wildfire but changed my mind and changed the order to Legend...
A good choice i think...
Been using my KAISER for a looong time now and it's time for a retirement, i think
Just installed Donut Android on my KAISER but it soaks battery so i think i have to revert to WM 6.5 again....
I think i'll use it as a backup phone for some time
Does anyone know if tom tom works on Legend?
The unlock was done through the store so not quite sure on how it was completed. I have seen many websites that offer the unlock.
In regards to TomTom try the Google navigation. It's amazing. Works great and integrates with your contacts and the mapping program quite well. I find the voice to be quite rough. Hopefully they'll allow changes to that after its out is Beta.

Doesn't Google Navi go online to get positions?
Could be costly, wouldn't it
I'll try it out though
Tom Tom has the maps in map folder so no online search and so on....
regarding the unlock thingy i guess someone figures it out so we can do it ourselves
Maybe somewhat like the KAISER unlock i guess...

Where did you buy it?
I bought my legend at Virgin (349 CAD) and am running Rogers as well, to unlock it you need to purchased the unlock code from HTC by providing the phones S/N. Their are lots of places online that will provide the codes for $10-20, I haven't been able to find a free source.
Currently their is no software unlock for this phone.

Heard the n1 has already got froyo..i hope it wont be long for the legend & desire
I have the Virgin Mobile (Canada) HTC Legend and can confirm I was able to successfully unlock it for usage on Fido/Rogers. After this I upgraded the rom using a gold card to a stock HTC rom to remove the Bell/Virgin crapware.
After this I found the downgrade path to 1.31 which has successfully allowed me to have the phone rooted. Now I just need to wait for a good rom to be made with sense. So far all the roms I have tried do have their own issues like, camera problems, pinch zoom functionality...
I cant w8

Sounds good, Im going to grab myself one from Virgin soon, except they are all sold out in canada now i currently have a European version, run around edge only but i love it. By the way, where did you find the stock HTC rom?
I dont know how many people have branded desire HD's or how many would like a way of debranding there devices.
So this post if for me to see there is a need for such a thing.
So if there is enough people needing this i will look into if it can be donre and write a guide.
:-D
Please do a guide to help me remove the Vodafone bloatware on it
What can be done though at the moment besides from visionary temp root and pm disable?
if anyone with a branded device wants to test this method befor hand please join IRC : freenode channel #DesireHD
You will need a USB mircoSD card reader.
And THIS rom
Did you have a win? I also need info on removing my vodafone bloatware!! =)
i didnt think they had any branding on them? Im on t-mobile UK and cant see anything related to them.
Moved to Themes and Apps for now. Will keep an eye on it.
Cheers,

I'm definitely keen on getting rid of Vodafone bloatware (Australia) but I would like the option of reverting back to my current ROM simply because the warranty becomes void, the moment I flash a new ROM.
I haven't got a DHD, but i'm very interested in it. If i'm going to buy it, i think it will be branded (Vodafone GER). I don't know if the branding will disturb me, but i think updating an unbranded phone is still easyer and faster(!) (because downloading the update OTA or from HTCs page) as waiting for an update from the provider.
If you'll going to write the howto for unbranding DHD, please also mark some notes how to get the phone in delivery of condition (saving branded ROM a.s.o.).
A guide to debranding the Desire HD would definitely be good. Not that I need it, but for those with branded phones, it would be excellent.
T-mobile UK are totally unbranded! Which is awesome, it was too much to hope that they were unlocked as well but hey ho.

Here's your guide :
You just have to replace MMC1 by MMC2 and at the end just install your RUU and that's all.
I have debranded my SFR Desire HD last night using this.
Does this remove the SIM lock too, if you flash an unbranded ROM?
I don't think, but just haven't tried yet.
No worries there. Was glad with it till I realized the vibrate was pooched do I have to get a replacement... -_-
