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?

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:

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.

I would have waited and not signed up with sprint would I have known.
Glad I returned my sprint one. The sprint coverage where I live is NOT what at&t have. Just ordered from GSMImport. They are extremly fast with shipping and this one comes already unlocked! I always loved the white chin version of the hero best! Glad I waited! The only flaw from what I hear is the android market is NOT showing all or paid apps on the Telus version... Can anyone confirm this?
Telus wont show paid apps, cuz there are no paid apps for canada yet, not even the Rogers android phones show paid apps. For the network, if u are in a US network, paid apps should show fine.
ow, so its not the phone that doe sit but the network that allows them? Come to think of it, when I had my rogers mytouch, it was showing apps just fine on the at&t network. Thanks Rosco!
Well, there goes that. Confirmed that paid app's on the telus version are not there! Sucks!

good thing i posted this in the normal hero forum instead of the cdma one. over at android forums they deleted most of my posts stating i posted in the wrong forum. I for one did not know this phone was going to be released at all with North American bands. it passed the fcc a while back with NA bands but hadn't heard anything since.
yeah i just rooted my Telus Hero.. took a while, had alot of problems but eventually it worked and everything is fine now

Thats because the current ROM on the Telus Hero can't be rooted yet. I have already rooted the unlocked EURO hero and the rogers mytouch and the process was very simply. None of this down-grading or anything like that which add's additional steps and risks.

tell me about it, my SMS wasnt working after the rooting.. luckily for me, i noticed a dead pixel on my screen.. i was in the 15day grace period so i went back to the store and they swapped it
guy's my biggest concern about the HTC Hero is that, i read from some sites that AT&T might pick up the Hero in early 2010, if that does happen what will happen to the people that bought the phone from telus and are using it? Will our phones be handicapped until we buy a $30.00 data plan like the iphone or blackberry?
Just FYI - I have the unlocked Telus Hero from ImportGSM (they are up the street from my office!) and I have paid apps in the marketplace.

Same here. I got mine from them as well. It's does not have all the apps though (paid & free) Some copyrighted apps are not on it... Apps like bloo which is one of the first apps I install... Many others. My cousin has the droid and he has WAY more apps in his market.
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

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

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??

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

"Hi there,
Some news on the update to Android 2.2 for the Samsung Galaxy S. Currently we are making some changes to get it working better when using Orange signal, and are therefore looking to release the update by the end of November – obviously this is a delay on our original release date but we hope it will be worth the wait!
The update will still be made available through the Samsung Kies PC application.
Regards
Forum Team "
from the TM support forum
oh well.
Obviously carrier specific firmwares aren't going to be out at the same time as the standard release, but I'm a bit concerned about these supposed problems with Orange, given that I have an Orange contract + unbranded phone.
Same here I'm on orange uk aswell with an unbranded phone. My friend has a galaxy s on tmobile.. When he boots his phone up he gets atmobile animation where as I get the unbranded s that materializes itself from little shards.
So does this mean orange will be delayed aswell as they have merged their signal or is this just going to just be for the tmobile branded phones???
Can any 1 shed any more light on this?

Nope, both you and I will be able to install froyo as soon as Samsung release it.
Whether there will be issues getting a signal on Orange is another matter however - hopefully it won't render froyo unusable.
I think the delay is due to the fact that when roaming onto the opposite network, the phone does not switch back when the original signal is available.
For example i run jpk on my orange contract, when i am in the sticks and run out of orange signal it connects to tmobile, however when i am back in town, etc it does not connect me back to orange. This is fine for calls, however i only get 3g, etc on orange, not tmobile.
This is just a guess tho.

Well I have held off as long as I can I'll give it until the 1st of november and I'm gonna flash a rom myself. Is there any difference between jpk and jpm? I have jpk downloaded and ready to go
T-Mobile are talking crap. My JPM switches to Orange when i have no T-mobile signal and works just fine. My guess is they are trying to find away to brand all the unbranded devices.

Don't feed the troll!
Thinking about it now, cause the way froyo has been rolling out with branding crap things don't look so rosy. xda is the way forward imho So btw, it takes a month and a half to do one little roaming tweak for the merging t mobile and orange users in the uk? Biggest lie ever, cause there is a 2 min workaround on t mobile uk users site. Just switching on roaming, send a few texts and workaround on t mobile uk users site. Just switching on roaming, send a few texts and job done. So this is bs all the way. Why don't samsung come clean and say ops sgs korea only gets froyo and rest of the world stays on eclair.....stop feeding bs, trying to boost sales numbers by lies!
I posted this here from sgs forums, from my original cause I am so angry!
FYI, this has just appeared on Samsung UK facebook page :
Samsung UK Mobile Hi everyone, sorry for not getting this to you sooner. The Android 2.2 software is being fully tested with UK operators and the upgrade will be available in the UK from early November. We expect all operator versions of the software to be fully tested and downloadable by the end of November. Let us know if you have any questions. Many thanks, Samsung.

Me too.
But, my product code is a t-mobile one, so not one update is available on Kies. Not even JM1.
This tells me T-mobile will brand my phone with their official update
I had bought the legend from Vodafone. How can I see if the phone is branded? I don't have no Vodafone logo or something like that on it.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I suspect that it's branded by Vodafone. Branded means that the sim card only for the given operator works on given phone. Branded phones also have some apps preinstalled by the network operator.
I've understand that the HTC announcment yesterday is a big deal ( and the reason for this topic ). For me to be honest is another more polite way to say "coming soon".
branded doesnt necessarily mean that the phone is locked to the carrier.
i got a vodafone branded legend and i can use it with any carrier. im not suer if its the same for all vodafone branded phones, but on boot i got a vodafone logo plus 2 vodafone apps installed i cannot remove.
Hmm I don't have the Vodafone logo on start up and no apps installed. Is there another way to see if the phone is branded? I received the OTA updates from the last 3 months though, no problem with that.
I'll try tomorrow an Orange SIM to see if the phone in locked to a network.
seems like they forgot to flash the firmware of your phone.
vodafone branded phones arent simlocked, im using a prepaid medion mobile sim and used free 5€ o.tel.o sims in the past (germany).
there are 2 vodafone apps on the homescreen and there is an other bootanimation (without bootsound) and a slightly diffrent widget positioning.
the internal browser has vodafone.xx as its default page. thats it.
Check your software version number (settings - about phone - software information). If you post that here we could tell you for sure if your phone is using a vodafone branded ROM.

2.10.178.1 is my software number... is that branded?
Apparently my ROM is a Vodafone AU rom, but I've got no boot logo of Vodafone apps. Wonder when I'll get Froyo then. Hmm.
2.05.405.2 is the software number. Do you need also the kernel version or build number?

with smsbug? have you bought the device via ebay? maybe someone already removed every sign of the branding.
I have the same software number as in2ition. Mine came straight out of a vodafone store but doesn't have a vodafone boot logo or vodafone apps installed. Besides, the box in which I bought it, didn't have anything on it from vodafone either.
So I'm wondering if it's branded too. (?)
ps. And yes, it has the sms-bug.

identical situation
Your phone is not branded by the way. It was a faulty update that they didn't release everywhere because it caused that sms bug and broke many peoples wifi.
Hopefully they release Froyo for it for you soon
