Telus is supposed to get the Hero on the new Telus HSPA network on Nov. 5. Do any of you devs know if it's gonna be able to be rooted, etc? I'm pretty sure these are the specs (link from pdadb.net):
http://pdadb.net/index.php?m=specs&id=1966&view=1&c=htc_hero_us_htc_hero_130
It's the same as the European Hero, so it should be able to be rooted, given that HTC doesn't patch any exploits before shipping the phones to Telus.
i'm so stoked for this phone!

don't be..i am using a white European hero right now, and i can tell you the software is so disappointing...having flaws everywhere, searching apps is not working, searching bar in browser landscape mode is unusable, people are reporting missing text messages, etc. i am not sure how many sms i have lost. I hope HTC can fix these in donut update
i think you should wait for Motorola Droid or just get a iPhone if you are not so obsessed with android
well, im also using a white european hero, and im very pleased with it.
Ive been an iphone user since it was released (ive had both 2g and 3g) then the 3gs was released, and it was time for a change, so i considered the 3gs, but felt like it was time for something different, and i went with the hero... and i dont regret it at all...!! the hero is awesome..!!
Hmmm... well Telus mite have a fix installed for this. I had the iphone before too, and although there is a lot of good apps for the iphone, I hate itunes and other things about the iphone. I do love android and I think it is only getting better. I heard that HTC is working with android 2.0 so maybe we could have an upgrade coming soon?
well...try it to see if the bugs is still there before you buy..i wouldn't count on Telus to fix the bugs..make sure to let someone send you 20 sms or so to test it out once you have the device...
i'm still stoked. i'm gonna have to let you guys know how it worx out
google just released android 2.0 sdk!! so all of our htc phones mite just skip 1.6 and go strate to 2.0

Have you tried installing the 2.73 update? It fixes the issues that were in the initial ROM.
I can confirm that the Telus Hero is rootable. I'm rooted and running the custom Modoco ROM. However, I didn't write down the Telus APN settings before I did that, so I'm kinda screwed on data right now...

Are you saying that Roms for the European/Asian Hero can be flashed onto the Telus one without problem? That's a really great news.
So what method did you use to root? How is WiFi, wireless tether, market enabler, etc? I still wanna get one, I'm trying to get a deal from my brother-in-law who works @ future shop.

I did. Here's how it was written under an untouched phone (standard/vanilla android installation):
TELUS SP:
APN = sp.telus.com
Proxy = 74.49.0.18
Port 80
Username = <not set>
Password = <not set>
Server = <not set>
MMSC = http://aliasredirect.net/proxy/mmsc
MMS proxy = 74.49.0.18
MMS Port = 80
MMS Protocol = WAP 2.0
MCC = 302
MNC = 220
APN type = default,mms
However, I too am wondering how did you manage to root your phone. I'm fairly new to the whole android community, but after a bit of tinkering I realised I had a perfect SPL, making it harder to boot custom images.
Care to share??
Thanks

Wow, I've had a ton of people PM me about this. It makes me wonder if I'm the first person to ever root the Telus Hero. I kinda feel special, but at the same time, it really doesn't seem any different than what European Heroes require.
Anyway, here goes:
I used the recflash.apk method. The fastboot/usb method wouldn't seem to work, even after downgrading to 2.73.405 using the Gold Card method.
To summarize, I used this:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/10/18/how...can-be-rooted/
then this:
http://theunlockr.com/2009/08/27/how...-in-one-click/
The Gold Card took me a few attempts. One thing I didn't notice in the guide is that when you go through step 4, you need to have the same SD card in the phone as you plan to use as your Gold Card. (I believe the SD card I used was the 1GB Sandisk that came with my Telus HTC Touch 2 years ago.)
Good luck!
@bilange: Thanks for the APN settings. I got the "sp.telus.com" by calling Telus, which got me data back, and no MMS. He wouldn't give me the extra details, saying nothing else was required. I'll enter this data and try out some MMS.
EDIT: @dvice19: I haven't tried tethering or Market Enabler yet (I'm hoping that paid apps come to Telus before too long. I don't like the idea of hacking my market settings, after the vogue-android community had severe market issues when moving to Donut.) Bluetooth seems to work a little better with the Modoco ROM... smoother audio... but still not perfect. I'm hoping the Eclair update fixes all these issues, as my HTC Touch had much more stable BT. I haven't noticed anything wrong with Wifi yet... everything seems kosher. I installed Modoco's WaveSecure add-on, which works like a dream. All in all, I'm really impressed with the phone and Modoco's ROM.
Thanx craig0r! My Telus Hero is coming in the mail. Can't wait!

Note that I had these settings verbatim on my STOCK Hero, even with the sim card not triggered by Telus for usage yet. For what it's worth, the URL gives a HTTP error 404
EDIT: I just got back from my Telus store to fix my sim card not being activated yet on their network. Now that my phone is fully working (with an 'enabled' sim card), I can confirm that those APN settings I posted above are kept untouched after my phone synced (when it used my sim card for the first time) with Telus .

All I can say is lawl. The forum backend automatically shortens them.
EDIT: Also, I can verify that MMS works with those settings, both outgoing and incoming. Although I had to call telus to get them to fix the incoming.
I still can't downgrade. I made a GoldCard and tried flashing 2.73.405.5 but it gave me ERROR[130]: MODEL ID ERROR.

hello, sorry if this has been mentioned before. i am on TMOUS, and recently bought a G2. now, being curious, I decided to check the APN settings, and more importantly, check/compare against the one that I have been using. i found that there are 3 apn listings for TMOUS. I have added them to the HD2 settings and i havent had any data drops. If it is a coincidence or correct, I dont know for sure, but it works for me, and thats all i give a $h!t about. For the sake of my horrible battery life, I'm only going to list the settings with fields that arent empty. Here they are:
1. Name: T-Mobile Data
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: default,supl
2. Name: T-Mobile FOTA
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN: hipri
3.Name: T-Mobile MMS
APN: epc.tmobile.com
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: mms
Thats what I have used and it's worked for me so far. I also have the newest ril wrapper (10/23), as well as having it in the android folder so that everytime i restart, it gets copied over into the /system/lib folder. Hopefully you guys/girls have the same results as I did.
Sent from my HTC HD2 running Android using XDA App.
So i have to put all 3 apn settings in the phone?
Interesting... what build are you using? After adding these settings, are you able to send/receive mms okay? How about while on WiFi? Any other notable differences before and after? Speed increase? Smoother transition from h/3g/2g/edge?
I'll definitely test this out, although I don't get many data drops as is anyways. Using darkstones latest with chiasofts fixes.

The only thing that looks new is the APN: hipri setting. I dont remember every seeing that one. So here is what I an going to do.... Im gonna add that hipri to my APN Type field and see what happens. I will report back tomorrow or so or when I get my first drop... whichever comes first.
Thanks for the info!
EDIT: FOTA is For Over The Air updates on your G2 so you dont get charged for the delivery. Hipri is the name of the connection TMO uses. HD2 does not get OTA updates so we dont need the hipri settings. HOWEVER....... breaking the MMS out of the main connection of default,supl might have some merit.

Where did you get your latest ril wrapper?
What I did!
I applied all of the apn types between the three apn settings into one and separated them by commas and see what happens. It seems faster, but we'll see in a more long term sense.
these settings are also in the froyo g rom by mdj, i thought they looked kinda weird. link the wrapper your using and install instructions if you dont mind for everyone else to avoid all the questions. solid news we can all benefit from

I'll test in miui and also edit the build prop ty for this
noellenchris said:
Please post your logcat files in this thread as soon as your data disconnects and won't reconnect. So the Devs can take a look and hopefully fix the data issues everyone is having.
Also post your build, sense or no sense, WM build, radio rom,
Otherwise you can toggle airplane mode or data and it should start working again.
EDIT: you can download aLogcat from the market and then just save the log and copy over to your computer then put it here..(actually not here, but in your post..hehe)
UPDATE: I've noticed many cooks have used the required libhtc_ril_wrapper.so file dated 8/19. However there was an update on 8/26 and again today 9/28. The 8/26 fixed some stuff for pppd to work correctly. The 9/28 just added some code for the future NAND to work correctly. I've attached the 9/28 wrapper and have been testing it for the last few hours. So far after reboot, it has been better for me.
The file is located in the root/system/lib folder in android. You can adb push this file or use Droid Explorer or a file manager with SU permissions. Just unzip this file and use one of the mentioned methods to copy it over to Android.
Also you can copy this file in WM to your "Android" folder or whatever folder your build is in, and to the folders (root/system/lib/libhtc_ril_wrapper.so) and when you boot android it should copy the wrapper to the correct folder.
Anyhow, give this a shot and see if it helps. Also check your wrapper and check the properties to see what the date is first, ALSO COPY YOUR CURRENT WRAPPER TO A TEMP FOLDER ON YOUR SD CARD FIRST just in case.
I take no credit for the wrapper as it was the work of other developers and the source is on the git with changes here http://gitorious.org/htc-hd2-android-libraries/libhtc_ril_wrapper
Stuff fixed in wrapper since it was created ....quoted from Git
9/28
-Corrected pppd failure check and introduced NAND boot compatibility.
8/26
- added automatic creation of files needed for pppd to run correctly
- fixed pppd start/stop after wifi activation
- cleaned up code little bit
8/18
-Fixed error with prelinked map while compiling module
8/17
-RIL wrapper for ppp data connection created
NOTE: the attached wrapper may fix the issues people had switching from wifi and back to data. Any wrapper after 8/26 should have the pppd start/stop after wifi activation fix. Should work with Nexus kernel fine.
EDIT: PLEASE PULL LOGCAT WITH SWITCH -b radio.....so logcat -b radio this will pull more detail for connections for devs...

I'm currently trying the "internet2.voicestream" setting and hope it will help. It certainly isn't hurting.
Seems pretty good so far. I think everyone should post their ROM/radio setup as well to give an idea of what's working.
Radio: 2.12.50
ROM: Shubcraft 2.0
Also, is there a direct download link for the latest wrapper?
Tried using "internet2.voicestream" but didn't help. At this point, settings aren't a fix for freezing data.
Posted with my HTC HD2 using XDA mobile app
FWIW, mine generally only freezes when there's low signal and it's trying to get a lot of data. With strong signal I can go all day and never drop.
No setting will fix that kind of a problem.
Just as a heads-up, I installed Speed Test to check speeds on a recently installed build, which didn't have these new settings, it had the original, common, single APN settings. I was concerned that the new build, which had the test-ppp-fix, wasn't achieving decent download speeds from HSDPA (H) because of a painfully slow Market app download. However, I saw speeds consistent with 3Mb/s DSL...around 2500Kb/s. But this Speed Test caused the data to freeze speedily...after a couple runs.
Having come across a new test "libhtc_ril_wrapper.so" in a thread by LeTama, I decided to load up my backed-up BlueTopia build, which has Hastarin v7.5alt and no ppp-fix. I wanted to try this new wrapper with a clean, un-messed with build. However, this clean build has these new APN settings...the 3 APN ones.
I booted the build with the new wrapper and once booted to homescreen, it crashed back to WinMo. I booted it again and this time it stayed put...no crash back to WinMo. Then I ran Speed Test about 7 times with consistent HSDPA data speed and no freezing. But, the speed with much slower...consistent with mid or lower level DSL...around 1500Kb/s. I decided to try out the original APN settings...the single APN ones...and immediately saw speeds of over 3000Kb/s. The very first run of the test showed 3700Kb/s and the successive tests were closer to 3000Kb/s.
I definitely saw a speed increase, but unfortunately not a fix for the data disconnections. I am gonna play around with other fixes, but this one will definitely stay on my "subscribed" list. Great work!
First off let me say I've been searching EXTENSIVELY on this issue.
I'm in the US on T-Mobiles HTC HD2 (obviously).
When I purchased the phone it had already been rooted (I believe that is the correct term). It was running winmo 6.5 along with Android on an SD card.
I haven't had the phone long but I've learned so much from this site regarding modding and such. I can NOT send MMS messages on Android (I believe I remember sending one on Winmo). I don't have a data plan and I've tried every single APN I've found. Still nothing.
I recently flashed my phone with the new MAGLDR. I used "MDJ_Revolution_HD_v._2.2_NAND". It runs pretty smooth.. Except no mms capability =(. I've updated the Radio to the most recent. 2.15~ (I think).
I've read that possibly it's the ROM I'm using. Like I said I've been searching, please bare with me on this question, but I'm a little confused on what a ROM actually is. From what I've read everything I've found is a "winmo" rom. I beleive the rom that came with my phone (note: it came from someone else, its not stock) is Energy? It's a blue logo at bootup.
Would I have better luck with the MMS if I flashed to another rom? And if so, how would that affect my android? This site is full of information and sometimes it's hard to sift through what I need and what is extra. ANY help on this matter would be greatly greatly appreciated.
Thank you

I didn't know that you could send an MMS without a data plan. Most Android builds won't send MMS over Wifi and without a data plan. Some of the new NAND builds have MMS working over Wifi.

My old Nokia would send good quality MMS without a data plan so I just assumed this would be the same. If you think this is the case then I suppose I can stop beating my head against the wall.

I knew it! How did they get it working?
There were three phones on our family plan and none of them would send/recieve MMS. I don't know what they did to get it working, however, they sent information from the cell towers to the phones repeatedly until all three phones worked properly.
2 things u need to check out is to fix the problem,
1. (Boot Android) if u are in roaming area u need to go to your settings go to wireless and networks then go to mobile networks (NOT MOBILE NETWORK) and simply click on the checkmart data roaming to enable data tranfer over roaming coverage and then go to Accesspoint names and clik on the one avaliable. ( you should now be able to send and recieve MMS messages or send them over your network.

No sorry that wasn't it..
It turns out I needed to use a SPECIFIC APN if I didn't have a data plan. It was wap.voicestream.com and then the other stuff. I don't remember it. It works now!

The MMS should be setup as follows:
1. Settings --> Wireless and Networks --> Mobile Networks --> Access Point Names
2. The APN should be named "T-Mobile US"
3. Edit that or create it and the settings within should be:
Name: T-Mobile US
APN: epc.tmobile.com
Proxy: 216.155.165.050
Port: 8080
Username: (leave this blank)
Password: (leave this blank)
Server: (leave this blank)
MMSC: http://mms.msg.eng.t-mobile.com/mms/wapenc
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.50
MMS Port: 8080
MMS Protocol: WAP 2.0
MCC: 310
MNC: 260
APN Type: (leave this blank)
Once done, back your way out, maybe reboot the phone for good measure but shouldn't be required. To test success, send yourself a picture message (mms).
Hope that helps
My Streak actually had two entries for APN's. One as above, and one called T-Mobile MMS

Thanks, but that one never worked. I heard that was for if you HAVE a data plan, seeing as how I don't I was able to use this one:
Name: mms
APN: wap.voicestream.com
username: mms
password: mms
MMSC: http://216.155.174.84/servlets/mms
MMS Proxy: 216.155.165.050
MMS Port: 8080
And it works now!
Ok update: Now all the MMS I receive are very very small. 4KB~ Average. Any Ideas?
New Problem
I have all the MMS Settings set up properly. The onlu problem that I have is...
I am able to send picture messages aka MMS Messages ( I am on an unlimited messaging plan and hence the picture messages are included)
However I have problems downlading and viewing them.
Lets say my friend sends me a picture message ( a .jpg file) It shows me in the subject that there is an attachment but when I try to download it (first it doesn't even automatically downloads it when I have it set up correct )
the error message comes up " Unable to download message from __"
Can anyone help me ? I don't know how this issue started. I only remember that MMS messages used to download by themselves once before.

OK, this is dumb, but try this...
Settings/All Settings/Connections/Connections/Advanced/Select Networks
on the drop down list select T-Mobile MMS. Then, Edit. Tap & Hold on black dot T-Mobile MMS, Then Connect.

The previous Phone apn was configre for data, creating 3 other configs to deal with tether and mmsc and nat ip. with this new apn 2 of those are combine, and now is only missing the tether apn. this is a new config for the apn.
anyone having issues with apps like gosms handling images are prob not gonna have them anymore thanks to this new config.
look inside your apns before making claims!
So don't put anything for apn type?

only fill up the spaces indicated, everything else stays blank!
I'm excited...and confused:
Is this supposed to fix (specifically) MMS problems with certain apps (GoSMS)?
If I set this up and use it, is this APN "fully functional"?
Should I bother?
Tried it and I can't send a mms.

Quadrupled my speeds! I now have fiber optic business line speeds to my phone!!!
...Or not. This works just fine for me. I think it's pretty much the same for me speed-wise, though it does feel like the network responds a bit quicker. Can I get a "PLACEEEEEEEBOOOOOO" chorus? I'll use it and see if AT&T thinks I'm tethering or some other hot topic. I had no complaints previously, but I see no reason not to use this.
(Thanks for the info!!)

That is disappointing. Regular texts are perfect. MMS messages, whether picture or long text, do not send. I should have checked MMS earlier. Thanks!
No speed increase for me. Might actually be a bit slower. Thanks for post anyway.
both the normal "phone" and "wap.cingular" apn work fine for me, MMS, data, everything. the only time I switch is for tethering.
So I gave my old mytouch4g to my dad, and I unlocked it for him to use on AT&T. Everything works fine except he can't send or receive MMS. Is there any way I can set that up for him?
He doesn't have a data plan and doesn't need one, so it doesn't make sense to add it just for MMS...
Any help is greatly appreciated.
Thanks!

It worked! Thanks guys...
And now the internet works for some reason, even though there is no data plan on the phone. Granted it is 2G but still. When I first hooked it up, the ATT Rep told me the phone wasn't recognized in his system, it just showed up as an unknown unlocked device. I just hope I don't get charged if he uses it.
