Alright.. after much anticipation.. the rom release for the Telus HTC touch.
I randomly have been checking the site since I found the download page was updated on the HTC support page.. I ended up getting sick of the fact the the d ownload page was taken down so I copied down their server website and have been checking that. That is where the roms are actually upladed to so when the page is up it would link to the rom. Well on the server page (or whatever you call it) the telus update is there.
Check it out:
http://216.139.227.226/Telus/
So there we go. I'm going to flash my phone and see what goodies it does come with. Obviously rev A but I have my fingers crossed for gps too.
Oh and heres a direct link to the HTC support page for the Telus Touch... as you can see they havnt put up the download support page yet. So it was sort of a fluke I found this when I did as they havnt advertised it.

Great work.
Everyone download it ASAP, in case it disappears.
EDIT: It works, but I lost my internet connection in the process.

Had to call *22803 to program my phone (set PRL). That fixed the internet connection.
Rom works well, everything seems to be there. Have not had the chance to test GPS, yet.
will this work for bell phones too?
modified rom or official telus launch?
i have been waiting for this rom for a while. i knew it was in development and if you are wondering, the official rom will include rev a, location based services such as gps in google maps, tom tom and is bundled with Telus Navigator. It will enable threaded text-messaging, eliminate most of the freezing issues and help with bluetooth reliability. it also has an auto-pair with common passwords for bluetooth acc so it will speed up the process. my question is mainly to the starter of this thread? the file date i downloaded from the ftp site, is dated a few days ago and you said that you just found it. this does not seem to come from the htc site directly as most downloads come from members.american.htc.com unless thats just a masked address. simply put, is this an offical release or a modified version of what is out there?
i installed it and it works quite well, but i noticed a few odd things with it. the XT9 predictive is now not an option and its automatic for free typing fields, but you can't just turn it on by choice. internet explorer has crashed on me a few times, but this is minimal as i was trying to use the zoom out function on a content rich page. also, overall,t he device feels a little sluggish while going through the menus, but overall program support is speedy enough..
.
also, i happen to know for a fact that the telus rom version is:
3.00.661.1
but what you offerred as a download is:
3.07.661.1
why is it that this one seems to be a newer than the official one that telus released?
no, it wont work on bell, but the HTC website already has the bell update available... i don't believe the gps is unlocked for that model.
also, everytime you update the rom, all telus phones will lose their programming and you will need to OTASP... *22803 press 1 for english and 1 to program. as well, after it is done and the device resets... do the same, push 1 for english as well, but push 2 to upgrade the roaming list on your phone. it is import as you will have the most up to date preferred roaming list available from telus.
Hi mike.. I actually have NO idea.. The link I had (which is down now by the way) is the main server address for HTC.. if you were to go to say.. the altell support page for htc and click their rom download it will direct you to the http: 216.139.227.226 bla bla altell. same with Bell and the others. When I had orginall found this I figured that it would be uploaded there before there was a link put back up in the telus page since last time they did that and didnt have the rom I'm pretty sure they were bombarded with tons and tons of emails saying "what is going on wheres our rom!!!"
That said I installed it.. everything works fine. explorer hasnt crashed on me but I havnt messed around with it alot. I did however notice that my internet speeds arent any faster then they were before. I'm downloading between 700 and 850 kbps. Sometimes faster. But that was the same with the previous rom that was already on the phone stock. It also says EV in the top menu and 1x when its downloading sometimes. Not Rev A. The connection says CDMA1X (dial-up).
In regards to GPS I havnt been able to get tomtom to recognize the internal GPS yet. I tried using the gps launcher program which is supposed to prime it I think but still doesnt lock on. Once I switch over to my external bluetooh gps receiver it locks right away. So I dont even know if GPS works. I installed the telus navigation program and it said it was looking up the gps status and then found me on their map but I have a sneaky suspicion this might be through data.. I dont know though cause it was pretty damned accurate. Maybe I just need to try another gps priming program or something. Frustatrating though.
For those of you who have installed this do you have the same data info I have? the EV in the top menu bar? I could have sword I saw some screen shots of the rev A updates and it shows Rev A in the top menu. Maybe its cause I dont have it in my area? But I'm in London ontario.. so not some boon out area in the middle of no where.
Thanks guys!
ps.. any ideas on getting tomtom to work withought my external would be kindly appretiated as well. If anyone has been able to do so with this rom.
that sounds fair. i was just wondering if it was a hacked rom as i didn't want to bother upgrading it without something official. internet explorer hasn't caused me a single issue all day since then. i do find that the available memory has dropped to roughly 50 mb from about 70mb or so before with windows 6.0 and the device can get a little sluggish, but has yet to freeze on me once, which is a very noticeable improvement. thats interesting how the link was taken down and that would be really cool if we all got it in the nick of time. it wouldn't surprise me they pulled it with the touch diamond coming, it would be better to hold off and sell some of those and then launch the upgraded rom..
i can confirm gps works 100% for me. i used it in telus navigator and yes, it does use tower triangulation to assist in finding your location. i tried google maps and for some reason when i select "my location" it says my handset isn't compatible, but if you select use gps from the menu, then everything works 100% and my location shows right where you are and very accurately.
you said there is a program to prime the gps? where is that located? i still have yet to have an issue with it, but just in case. as well, i am unsure about the rev a icon, but it is still EVDO, just "revision A" i believe so i don't think the icon would change much
link is dead, I've uploaded the file to rapidshare.

This Rom Saved My Telus Vogue !!!!!
A huge thank you to Aaron for posting this rom. I had given up on my "bricked" Telus Vogue on Friday and if it hadn't been way too hot Friday to go, I would have already been to the Telus store and bought a replacement. Make a long story short (am a newbie too) something went horribly wrong with the flash I tried. The boot screen still displayed the old version (2.36 i think) but some random boot screen would follow and that as far as the boot got. I tried flashing tonnes of roms but just kept errorring out. I happened to sit at the pc today and noticed a few new posts and 20 min later came across the Telus update by chance. So for a final effort I slapped the HTC onto a USB and gave it a shot. The first try was unsuccessful as windows suddenly recognized the handset as a PPC rather than the mass storage device it had been seeing up till then and jumped to Found New Hardware Wizard. Or at least thats what I think may have interrupted the update. I shut down the update after waiting 20 minutes and simply started it again. It picked up where it left off and now I have my Vogue back even better than it was.
So the reason I went through this long saga is #1 to say thanks and #2 to let anyone that thinks they killed their Telus Vogue............INSTALL THIS ROM TO BRING IT BACK!!!!
JAY
Jay,
Glad that this rom worked for you! Saved you alot of hassle with Telus I'm sure. I am already on my second touch from them as I had a dark spot on my screen show up about 3 months after I got my phone. So far this ones been pretty good and with this new rom even better. I've been reading up on some ways to increas the GPS sensitivity and locking on our phones and will post it in here shortly.
Telus GPS to Bell
I will wait for someone to rip out the portion for the GPS to port it to Bell.
It should work in theory considering they are both the same phone/cdma.
Alright.. Thanks to

the settings should be as follows
Allowed = checked
Assistanc-Spherical = checked
PDE IP Address = 216.198.139.92
PDE Port Number = 8889
PDE Transport = IP
Position Calculation = PDE
This process is a bit.. not tedious or anything but just safty's sale for a good read look at the thread linked below for a guide to getting the QPST program working.. how to get it to connect to your phone etc. Side note.. You have to install the WModem drivers on your computer in order for it to connect properly and you'll need to install the GetSPC program on your phone in order to get the service programming code. That said.. you also need to download the QPST program (obviously). All of which (including the guide) here: http://wiki.xda-developers.com/index.php?pagename=TitanGpsFix
You'll need to run the GetSPC program on your phone. when you open QPST and you add the COM4 port and you open the service programming it should say your ESN HEX at the top put that code into GETSPC (again GETSPC runs on your phone) and then it will generate your SPC..in the service programming click read from phone and enter the SPC it generated for your and it should work. Thats the code you need to get access into the phone via QPST.
Now follow that in order to connect to the program and go pretty much to where you have to put in all that information ghettofreeryder gave us. Make sure you redial the ##3424 code to get out of the settings in your phone.
Then once that's done. Download a1Jatts smartgps cab which will activate the smartgps in the registry of the phone. Do a soft reset and you are good to go. Make sure you put in ALL the right information. I forgot to put in an 8 in the PDE Port Number at first so I had 889 not 8889. I didnt get any quicker locks so checked and put in the right number and worked like a charm. I got locks on 6-7 satellites in my basement with a few seconds.

Wow. That procedure was really frightening. I got it working and it was well worth the hassle. Your addition (missing configurations) was needed for me too. I hope for poor average Telus users that they release a final ROM with this sorted out.
Edit:
Every time, before using this, an already established data connexion is needed BEFORE looking for GPS satellite. The GPS will not establish the connection if it's not there. A simple solution is to open Google map and move the map up to a download is required BEFORE making the GPS satellite connexion.

The wiki procedure have been experimented on many device/carriers.
But I think "PDE IP Address = 216.198.139.92" is carrier specific.
On another forum, a Bell user reported using the Telus leaked ROM with that procedure but with IP=195.207.101.126 and got it working well.
no internet.
i tryed calling that number *22803 after updating rom from telus. still no internet connection. any reason why or what else i can do?
First time i tried with Telus support center, they gote me goiing thrue the french portion of the programing (#2). After that did not work, I did it again in English and it worked perfectly.
So here it is in detailes.
Call *22803 + press 1 + press 1 again. Whait till its done then the phone will reboot.
Call again *22803 + press 1 + press 2. Dont remenber if the phone reboots again....
This should work.
If not, try pulling out your batery fo 15 sec. Then restart your phone.
Thats all the info I have got from telus service.

first of all, write down the esn from the back of your phone!!!
go to settings - connections - manage existing connections.
you shoud see cdma1x #777click edit - next, next again,here you will see user name and password - you username should be your phone number 519#######@1x.telusmobility.com
password should be your esn
leave domain blank and hit finish
I don't get it. HSDPA has stopped working on my HD2. It was fine over a week ago but recently is seems to either go 3G or EDGE which is very annoying. It just doesn't seem to want to pick up HSDPA. I tried calling my network provider and they said nothing had changed on their end so I did a network settings reset on my phone but still no luck. Anyone else have or had this problem?
Am using the following rom: Artemis_v28_WWE_202_23518
I got the same problem. I've been searching on the forum for 2 days now to find an answer, or even someone with the same problem at least, which i found now. I'm a little bit happy i'm not the only one
Let's hope someone will notice this and help us
Had the same issue, but I noticed that the Band setting was on GSM instead of on Auto.
Try this:
Go into your dialer, click Menu, then Settings. All the way down you'll find Band, click that. Make sure both settings are on 'Auto'.
Maybe that's the issue with your phones as well.
Grtz
Lukas
Thanks for your help Lukas, but unfortunately that's not it.
I checked and both band settings are on Auto.
Any other suggestions?
Im looking for a signal streght/ Db meter for my phone. Currently running Energyrom, Touch pro 2, CDMA (Verizon). Ive tried searching the forums and using google, even tring bing, but couldnt find one. I know they are available for blackberry and android, but couldnt come across one for winmo. Any suggestions. Thanks in advance for your help.
FieldTest.exe?
I don't know if it's included in Energy ROMs.
Does something need to be changed in the registry? When I run it I only get -99 for all the tower info and nothing changes.
You can also type in *#*#364#*#* on your phone dailer to get there.
Looked in my windows folder, and no fieldtest.exe in there. So im assuming it was taken out of energyrom. I've also tried dialing that number, found it on another page, and it doesnt work. Any other ideas?
Attached FieldTest.exe

i get that also. it only seems to work right on 2g
I just realized it works when you change your connection to GSM only. If your connection is on 3G WCDMA, you need to hit index then WCDMA and you can see your signal change there.
I was suffering from lack of information before I upgrade to froyo through Kies with reg patch. I was afraid of the modem file that JPO has (850 band concern and compability issues) with Bell Sgs.
I had enough with their lies and delays so I upgraded my JH2 to JPO using the latest Kies with reg patch. Everything went smooth and easy.
Although Kies gave erors saying "upgrade unsuccesful cant connect to phone" (something like that i dont remember exactly) during the upgrade after the phone went to download mode. Basically whay happened was, I was clicking the upgrade button in kies then kies was downloading files and binaries. After that phone restarts with download mode and then installation aborts. If u face with this.problem just foctory reset the phone and try again. Unfortunatelly have tried like 4 times waiting kies download binaries in 15 min each time.
I would like to say to people who is waiting for stupid bell to release froro its been 2 days now and I am running JPO without any problems. 850 band is still here and everything works like its suppose to.
If u would like to upgrade with reg patch I reccommend it. But i have to say Do at ur own risk!!!!
what settings did you use for kies? and by chance do you know what date your phone was made? i think it says it on your battery and on the phone behind the battery

I used the latest version of patcher. Settings comes with patcher. I used the xeu file in it. I m sorry i m walking now and cant check the date.but will post when i get home
i am looking to do this too, waiting for your reply about the phone date (under the battery, on the phone, mine says 10.08)
Thanks
does your front camera work?
Use doc's 2.2 JPO. ROM.. it works way better then any stock ROM and its safer then the kies REG hack. everything works with this rom.

Agreed. Also I don't know why these threads keep talking about the 850 band. The band is decided by your hardware, and I have never hard the 850 band not work in any ROM. If 850 did not work I would not even have coverage because Bell is only 850.

That's a new one on me. Every thread I've seen about Bells frequencies indicate 850 and 1900 wcdma(HSPDA)
Also I thought when the phone shows 3G that's 1900 and when it displays H that's 850?
Of course I'm no tech guy so I'll let someone else dispute it with facts if they have them.

Losing the 850 Band is definitely real, It's happened to me twice and had to flash back to JH8 and select the BCC CSC.
Nope. It didnt happen to me. I updated via reg patch.
I upgraded with the registry patch yesterday. Worked fine until I tried to root. Screen went white, phone rebooted but not past the animation. Get an "E:Can't mount /dev/block/mmcblk0p1" error when booting into recovery. Looks like the internal SD is fried.
I'm going to bring it in to get repaired when I get home, buy a Desire Z and sell the Galaxy S when I get it back. I have no doubt that any fix will just be temporary.
Hi all,
before I bought my SGS3, I owned a SGS1.
For the SGS1 there was a secret code which allowed me to switch off any HSDPA / HSUPA traffic but limit the data to pure 3G UMTS.
This saved me a lot of battery, so I always used it.
Ref: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=837716
The code was: *#301279#
Unfortunately this code stopped working already with the SGS2, so it does also not work for the SGS3.
Does anybody know some secret codes, might be the one I am looking for is contained?
Many thanks
Andi
