Any word yet if/when Bell/Virgin will be rolling out 2.2 to Canadian users?
If I don't get it relatively soon I'll probably root. Is that more difficult to do with the Bell build?
Any suggestions from rooted Bell users?
No word yet. Canadian carriers suck at issuing updates in a timely fashion. I rooted my Legend over the summer and installed the Vodafone 2.2 build recently with no problems. For the root, you'll need to downgrade to the 1.31 RUU before you can successfully root.
Hi,
I wrote to Virgin Mobile support on November 30 and I got the following answer:
Hi there - HTC is currently working on this update and we're hoping to have it within the next couple months. We'll keep you guys up-to-date online. Stay tuned!
Lots of Love,
Virgin Mobile

And before that I wrote to Bell support and never got answered.
Personnaly, I found that «next couple months» is very long!

Bell never answer questions I email them, HTC Legend related or not.
Sent from my HTC Legend using XDA App
I made a thread about this over at howardforums. somebody responded saying Virgin is working on it and they expect it to be out in January, and if there are any delays, early February.
I got tired of waiting for Virgin to come out with Froyo, so I rooted and flashed Cyanogen on my Legend and couldn't be happier. There is a bug with voicemail notifications, but I'm sure that will be fixed soon.
When (and IF) Virgin has an update, I'll do it on my wifes phone, but the added features that Cyanogen gives is well worth it.

That's pretty brutal. I love my Legend, but I really regret buying it from Bell. I've had nothing but bad experiences with them.
Which rooting guide has the most success with the Legend?
I'm fairly new to this, so I'll have to do my homework before attempting a root.
Maybe a good December project.
i work for virgin mobile and own the legend myself.
I ask my DM, and manger almost weekly about the update only to hear that they have no idea.
I call technical support (store line/regular line) and no one there knows either.
I also check our daily updates.. daily. Only to find nothing about the legend day after day.
I've been holding my breath for the update, but i don't suggest you do the same.
Unbrand your phone by installing the WWE version and you will probably get the update faster than Bell or Telus.
Hopefully it's coming Monday.
--io
The update is likely only days away so i suppose it's a funny time to ask about debranding.
My main issue is that I don't know what rom to use from the shipped roms website... a little bit of a text explanation would be great.
I still don't know what RUU means... or what WWE is... and i've been actively doing some reading on the subject.
Any advice would be appreciated!
Thanks!
go to the wiki!!!! everything is there!!!!
Haha, that post was actually quite useful
RUU = Rom update utility
WWE = World Wide English
So all I have to do is pick the most recent WWE version and I'm good to go?
I got annoyed with the flip-flopping and waited until after the halfway mark in the month. I've rooted my phone and it works perfectly.
I found that Blayo's ROM to run extremely well on the Legend.
Sorry for bumping it again ( I've been monitoring this thread and everytime i see it bumped up, it gives me hope... but only to find out we are all asking the same thing ... WHEN?!!)
Since BELL discontinued the Legend, does this mean when (if?) Virgin releases the OTA update, BELL users like me will get the same VIRGIN update as well show up on our phone?
The post about updating it with the WWE version... if i understand it correctly, the steps are:
1. Create a gold card... i saw a thread about a manual (albeit complicated for the non-techno geek.. ) way and an automated way using a software someone wrote
2. Run the latest WWE that has been posted (this is supposed to debrand our phone so that we can "see" the SOftware Update for WWE, right)
3. Check the Software Update on the phone and i should see the Fryoyo Update. ( I assume if we apply update, the ROM Update (data) it will download on the phone will be billable...or count as your data usage)
Does this sound about right?
I'm keeping this update via WWE as my last option if the OTA does not see the light of day...for us BELL users..
At this point, i'd say it's 70/30 that bell does not get the update. Just because as you've said, it's a discontinued phone for bell. with a small install base.
Hopefully Virgin/Bell decide to push it to bell sets. I'm not sure if they'd have to prepare two versions for that though. From what i understand, we're only a few days away from finding out.
It's funny, Bell Discontinued the Legend because they couldn't keep them in stock due to HTC having a lack of stock because the Amoled screen wasn't being produced fast enough. hence why they switch to a different screen for the Legend. Most people think it was just old or selling poorly when in fact those are both false.

There was noise about an update in Mid-Jan from Virgin, Bell as far as I remember has discontinued support and it's unlikely that there's going to be an update. You won't get the OTA update unless Bell releases it. I'm rather dissapointed with the promises that keep being broken for our rather expensive service... Root your 'phone.
The procedure is :
Create a Goldcard. As you mentioned there's very easy to follow guides out there.
Downgrade your phone to an earlier version of the software. This permits rooting your phone.
Root your phone. This will allow you to install a ROM other than the Carrier's ROM.
Install either a stock ROM (WWE) or a custom ROM.
As I mentioned in my previous post, I am using Blayo's ROM, which is almost identical to the stock FroYo ROM, but with a few tweaks that just make the phone feel nicer. I would reccomend looking into some of the other ROMs as well. You may find something you like. Android's about choice and this is one great advantage of rooting your 'phone.

I'm gonna give it up to the end of Jan and if there are no updates, i'll definitely go this way... im out of space to install anything else... angry birds and talking tom are taking so much space... had to remove my talking tom to install some smaller apps.
On Facebook, the guy from Virgin told that they had problems with the update so they are doing more testing...
If you want to be up to date, I really suggest you to root your phone and try a rom. You won't lose any functions on your phone and you'll never have to wait again.

Hello there, i'm new to this flashing ROM, rooting and stuff...
In your post, it sounds easy, create a golden-SD (follow the guides), downgrade and update the WWE...
i got lost on the second step... how do you downgrade the phone? I have a VM legend 2.1 w/ update 1 and seems like VM is not giving out the update. I'm thinking going your way but don't know how to downgrade the phone.
Please advise.
Thanks in advance.
Hey guys,
Havn't seen this reported anywhere but I'm having problems ever since upgrading to Froyo on my vodafone branded set.
Keep getting force close in the HTC weather and other applications - Froyo seemed quick to start with, but then seems to be quite laggy after a couple of days use (theres plenty of complaints about this laggyness on the vodafone forums).
I'm just wondering - now that the OTA has been released for unbranded sets. If I unbrand my set (using a goldcard and downgrading to 1.31) - can I install the unbranded version of Froyo? i.e. get the OTA update.
Thanks in advance and sorry if this has been covered elsewhere.
Tried downgrading to 1.31 using the usual method (hack4legend-v5) but it refused to work giving the cr--rw---- error
Would really like to move to an unbranded ROM (hopefully won't get the issue with weather constantly force closing) - anyone successfully done this?
***UPDATE*** Damn. I ran the update (filename is RUU_Vision_BellMobility_WWE_1.34.666.1_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.18_M2_release_154437_signed.exe), and the update process began. It started off with "Erasing User Data"... then "Sending"... then quickly brought up a window that said:
ERROR [156]: IMAGE ERROR The ROM Update Utility cannot update your Android phone. Please get the correct ROM Update Utility and try again.
This sounded like a good match for this device. I'm stuck now. Anyone have any ideas?
***old -UPDATE*** I found a Bell stock update... gonna try this out.. thanks for reading.
Hello all. Forgive me, I'm a Blackberry user and I just got an HTC Desire Z (it is locked to Bell in Canada - CDMA carrier?). I'm waiting for my unlock code to arrive (as I am on a different/GSM carrier) and I'm getting antsy to try it out.
I tried searching this forum tree using many different terms but all I've managed to find were custom ROMS and foreign official ones.
First thing I want to do is update it... I downloaded HTC Sync, which installed all the necessary drivers. (Except HTC Diag - found this online). So now I can connect it to my PC without any driver drama.
Then I went looking for an update. I found RUU_Vision_HTC_WWE_1.34.405.5_Radio_12.28b.60.140e_26.03.02.26_M_release_155556_signed.exe (but to be honest I wasn't sure if this is correct for my phone - I tried it anyway). It got so far as to reboot the phone to start the process but it then told me it wasn't the right update for my phone.
So that's where I am right now. I've been reading a lot about rooting, etc. but don't even want to go that far just yet. I just want to start off by getting a nice official software update/rom to get this thing up-to-date.
Currently, the version on this phone is 1.01.666.1 (sounds pretty old to me). I want to get rid of this blasted watermark (and I'm hoping a software update will take care of this).
Which ROM/software update is right for this phone? Any info / links would be appreciated. Thanks!

I'm assuming from your initial post that you're not on Bell Canada and are wanting to use it on a different carrier? If that's the case, use gfree (see the wiki) to unlock your device (and fully root it, if you want).
Sent from my T-Mobile G2 using XDA App
hello all,
so i am slightly annoyed, that theres no mango yet, i am hoping ypu people can help me, get rid of this horrible t-mob germany firmware.
on: 7.0.7392.0
Bootloader 5.2.1.4
unlocked (three uk sim atm) (i am in uk)
i just want mango, i dont care how i get it----im pretty pc knowledgeable, so just fire it at me.
It's been mentioned a few times already, but the Mango update may take a while to reach all devices.
There's a list of downloadable firmwares in this post: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1131891
And there's a guide somewhere on the site on how to flash your device. I highly suggest the JL3 firmware, as that's the one I used to debrand my T-Mobile Germany Omnia 7. After that, it's just a matter of updating it back to NoDo and then waiting for Mango to hit your device. If it doesn't come through immediately, you can always force the update (again, there's a guide around here somewhere).
Word of warning, flashing that firmware will wipe everything on your phone. Stuff that's stored in the cloud is easily sorted, but any music, videos, etc. will disappear.
hey thanks!! i am about to start sticking that rom on, the only thing i am worried about are apps, but i assume they will just sort themselves out and re-install?
ok, flashed that rom, and cant update past 7008, is there a nodo three rom available?
edit --- got it to install nodo using trick (internt pull out)
Omnia 7 mango
I am in the same boat with you. I could not update from Nodo with WIFI trick. At last, I downloaded KH2 firmware from Samsung mobile and flashed my phone. My Omnia now is the running mango fantastically!
Try it for yourself. You will not be regret.
FYI.
Quang
I got a similar phone x-display in the UK......had a problem with the battery so took it to carphone warehouse......they wiped the original t-mobile logos and german text and Mango updated straight away as soon as I got it back......so if you can find a reason for a quick repair.....
heard that the 8107 update is being rolled out...has anyone with a dvp got it? any new features?

Repetively checked via zune since we first heard about the 8107 and still says its current with 7740 Factory unlocked AWS 16GB DVP in Canada.
Hoping that this update would bring meaningful features but alas, it'll probably be a letdown. Really want to like the DVP.
Also, no 8107 update yet on a TMO HD7 either.
No update on Europe Stock Unlocked DVP 8 Gb too...
The update will eventually come. Just be patient.
No problem for waiting. This minor update doesn't contain importang things, just little bug fixes, that I don't see at all...
Anyone have faith in their carrier requesting the update?
http://wmpoweruser.com/microsoft-cl...est-it/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter
not that the disappearing keyboard is a serious issue?
Is there anyone willing / able to put together a .cab sender package to force us from 7720 to 7740 and then from 7740 to 8107? I don't have the confidence in myself when digging through the different updates and language packs. This would be a donation-worthy effort. Hopefully someone can bundle it together. If not, lets see how TMOUS plays this one.
I'm always hoping in tethering...
I update my DVP with Cabsender and official cabs to this update. Everything is ok, but this update don't good for my DVP.
I don't see any improvements, everything is work good without it. Only visible change is switching between 3G and Edge.
I use it 2 days and has 2 bugs with phone part. One time programs don't see mobile Internet, while "E" is showing and when i need to reboot.
Another time I can't recieve and dial calls and sms, but cellular signal strength showing full. Also need to reboot. Looks like a new RIL driver incompatible with old Dell radio firmware.
Of course I did backup of my last 7740 fw, and returned to it.
P.S.: Before this update I use my DVP more then one month wirh 7740 and don't see any problems with phone/RIL part and i think this is not mobile operator or SIM issues
7.10.8107 Update for DVP?
Has anyone got the 7.10.8107 Update for DVP without any hacks? Or is there any force update method like previous methods without the cabsender etc?
Still not even received the 7740. I know that operators can skip only 1 update as per MS and hence if they skipped 7740 which they did, they need to compulsorily provide the 8107 update. I have read there are a lot of fixes and hope they provide updates at the earliest.

dell venue pro no brand, updated here in Italy from Zune... no tethering...
bye
Just wanted to let everyone know that the disable network while checking for updates hack in Zune just worked for me with the 8107 update. Unlocked DVP in Canada if that matters.
Updating right now.. will confirm if tethering is included but really now, not holding my breath.
EDIT: update nothing worth mentioning =( no tethering... only thing I can notice is the drop down selector for 3G and E.
Well, I guess AT&T users won't be getting this anytime soon. Not that it matters I guess, as long as the phone works.
tried the force update using disable network and does not work at my end. Still at 7720. Your phone is up to date.
Tried multiple times and after around 30 seconds get error 80072EFF any suggestions? I also tried Windows Phone Support Tool and says your phone cannot be restored.

Uhh, just a quick question - so all of you have unlocked DVPs and was able to successfully update your firmware using the Zune software?
I'm just asking because I also have an unlocked DVP and still no update - then again I'm on Windows Phone 7 Connector for Mac...
Still no update on my DVP. Still at 7720. Force update method not working as stated in my earliest post
