TELUS HTC P4000 (Canadian TITAN Counterpart)

Good morning Everyone,
I was looking into information on updating my Cell phone ROM as after some reading and searching I found out that this phone is GPS capable (Why they would sell it with the functionality disabled is beyond me.) On the Official HTC website I did find a new update that was released 08/06/2008 at the following link. CLICKY! . I am wounder if anyone else is having a problem downloading this file and installing it? I receive an error saying the file is corrupt and I should download the file again. I have tried downloading the file from two separate computers, tried all three mirror sites (US, Europe, Asia) and last but not least tried using three different web browsers. Firefox, Internet Explorer, and Safari for Windows.
I am curious if anyone knows of another mirror site for this newly released update that is working? Or of another way I can update to the same version. I am unfamiliar with the ROMs that are on this website (I could figure it out but am uneasy about installing something unofficial.) Any help would be greatly appreciated.
PS: I also noticed that the file name "-HTC P4000 (Telus)-Telus_HTC_P4000_WM6_07252007.exe" Has an old date on it? I am hoping they just rebuilt a previous update, or they have not actually posted the new update and still have an old one which happens to not work. Just an observation I noticed.
PSS: I have sent in a technical help request through the online process of HTC asking for a link to a working .exe but I tend to find that out of the norm requests such as this do not turn out very well with corporations whose support team are really only knowledgeable in standard help desk things IE: I'm too stupid to turn on my phone can you help me?

Did you follow the instructions here?

I did a while back and it worked. If not, just switch to DCD's, it's awesome. Telus's 6.1 ROM doesn't enable your GPS.

Ya that is currently the ROM I am running, Maybe I am just mixed up. I looked at the HTC website for the TELUS rom and noticed the date for release was 08/06/2008 so I was under the assumption they had released an updated ROM that was a newer version then 2.13.661.2 which I am already running. One that would also patch the GPS (just a guess). However, I guess I will look into the DCD roms and see if I can fumble through the guides to get it loaded. Thanks anyways.

telus p4000 rom
I have a P4000 running on DCD 3.2.2 and Radio 3.42.2 gps enabled internet sharing enabled and many other stuff... this is just roocking the place.. Just forgot the official Rom and go for dcd you just have to follow all instructions be aware and youll anjoye all youre gona do with your phone

HTC P4000 rocks again!
Being half way through custom install (with all nightmares and mistakes ) I found this official update too. Confirm too: everything works as expected.
Took a while for GPS to pick up in Richmond Hill, Ontario, but the it worked like a charm!

2nd that. Upgraded from the old v2 and now to this one GPS and everything worked great with Google Maps.. I didn't bother stopping that customization thing like I've read in other post. Loaded that HTC home Plugin v2.1 on it and its fine.

The Movistar Spain data issue in XDAndroid (NOT a newbie complain!)

Hi, guys.
First of all, please notice that this is not the typical 'Hi, I'm new, could you please explain to me what I didn't want to read in the howto?'.
I've been testing Android on Blackstone since the very first release, where nothing but the UI worked. I managed to make Movistar data work in each distro it was possible, read everything and searched everything, and the matter is this:
Movistar Spain 3G data is not working in most of the android distros. It worked in some pre-XDAndroid releases, and it worked in only one XDAndroid (January 18, I think, but I'm not sure). I'm not the only user with this problem (all Movistar users are affected) and it looks like it's an specific of Movistar.
Some times we complained about this, we were required to provide an adb logcat, but I don't know how to do it... i searched, but found myself unable to 'do that'... as far as I know, any Movistar user did it.
But would like Movistar users to tell their experience here, and try alltogether to get a solution.
Thanks,

At least you read my ADB how to.. right?

I did, but found it too diffucult, or there was something that I didn't understand. I'll try again.
Thanks.

It seems to be the same problem Vodafone NL users have. The only time 3G worked was couple of months ago, with one of TuxHero's builds by entering the apn manually in the startup.txt. With the xandroid releases no one the dutch Vodafone user has managed to make data work...

I have also tried MANY MANY MANY setups on my all the android versions i have tried and havn't been able to get Movistar Spain 3g on any of them since tux's....
It's quite frustrating.......
Anything i can do to help i am 100% willing to test!

same problem here no data with vodafone nl . so vodafone nl and the spain movistar both have the same problem

I´ve tried many setup but no works 3G

Blackroid v0.2
There are a version of Donut 1.6 (Blackroid v0.2), the 3G is ok but is very unstable

is can that version be used with the newest zlimage etc ?

I have to admit i have the same issue with Mobistar belgium.
Worked with Tuxhero's build, but none Xandroid runs 3g.

Yes, can be used. But is unstable too

when turn on the telephone, there are errors... but one of them is:
init: cannot find setupmodem.sh, setupmodem disabled
more or less...
Anybody knows this problem? perhaps is the 3G problem...

I have tested the last release (4th feb) wich has some files from nexus one that could fix data problems but still nothing...
I havn't lost hope though!!!
Keep up the amazing work!

I hope too

hmm is somone already know whye this problem is coused ?

anybody did, as far as I know. but it would be nice if an españolito could make and provide the logcat. I wasn"t able to do it...

Please mind some people have this issue with other operators in other countries.
In Belgium, Mobistar for exemple; in Netherlands vodafone ... Seems to be a proxy matter.
Read this page http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=584559&page=114

Thanks, jeanfrederic. Find some interesting things.
First one, Movistar 3G data includes a proxy, but you can override it in winmo with no problem (well, one problem: push mail won't work). BTW, it doesn't work on xdandroid, neither trough the proxy nor without.
Second, Movistar 3G, as VodafoneNL, also worked with tux's android.
I still think that It's something not related to the zimage, but the android itself.

Héééééééééééééééééééééééy, I can now connect to 3G with the new Mcdull build http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=622776

Wonderful! Let's give it a try

unlocked from t-mobile no internet access on vodafone

Hello -
I just bought an unused t-mobile HTC Hero.
I unlocked it for use on vodaphone.
Everything works fine except that I cannot use the mobile network - although it is apparently enabled in the phone, any attempt to access internet etc fails, saying "this application requires network access".
NB: access is fine using wi-fi.
Support at vodafone suggested a rom upgrade. ROM Download refused by HTC website (upgrade n/a for my phone's S/N, it said)
are the two issues related and how should I resolve them???
S/N (HT98SL903000)
build number: 1.76.110.6146733 CL47212 release keys.
many thanks,
alex

Have you checked the APN settings?
Regards,
Dave

Search for the vodafone ROM on the XDA-DEV Hero Wiki. Or google...
Or, just check youve got vodafones APN settings and not t-mobiles (like foxmeister said)

Thanks for that.
I will follow all of the suggestions.
One point though _ If it needs rom as well as correction of APN - is it worth considering a custom rom instead of getting tangled with vodafone?

Vodafone don't carry the Hero, so there is no Vodafone specific ROM for the Hero.
You've got a T-Mobile branded device with a 1.76 build on it, so my advice would be a MoDaCo ROM, or if you don't want a custom ROM, a generic HTC ROM. If you upgrade to the latest T-Mobile ROM, you'll end up with the "perfect" SPL meaning you'd have to downgrade via a goldcard before you could replace the ROM with something non-T-Mobile.
Regards,
Dave

Thanks again.
I now have internet access having sorted the APN. Much happier now (I got anxious cos the phone I bought in a box from another phone -- bearing the wrong serial number, IMEI etc )
but I'm attracted to the ROM change.
Is there a particular MoDaCo ROm that i should go for that wil allow the usual apps to be run alongside some level of compatibility with outlook and MS word etc?
cheers,
Alex

Well, head to http://hero.modaco.com and have a look. There will be a full version (3.1 IIRC) available free, and a beta of the next one (3.2beta5 IIRC) for paid members.
Try the free one, and if you like it, you might like to donate to Paul to keep him going. Also, that will get you access to his 'kitchen' to make your own custom ROM from the modaco base, but adding and removing things you don't want etc.
But there's really only 1 modaco custom rom (aka MCR), just make sure you get the right one (GSM/CDMA) so GSM for you I reckon.

Looking for Mobilicity ROM

Hello everyone, I recently bought a HTC snap at mobilicity, however I flashed my cell to a asian language version, which I don't like that much, I wanna my original rom back but I forgot to back it up. anyone has a mobilicity rom, I was trying to download from the official site, but they don't provide it. I really appreciate if anyone can get one for me. THANK YOU

Moved to general as not rom development

Yes, I'm in need of the Mobicility rom for the HTC Snap as well.
Please upload, it would be greatly appreciated!

Can anyone help out here ?
Also, I've just switched to mobilicity from Wind. I can make calls on my HTC Maple but the data isn't working as of yet. Do you think I can flash my Unlocked Wind HTC Maple to the Mobilicity HTC Snap rom to get it to work ?
Thanks in advance

Add the apn for data, use google if you don't know them. I think its wap.davewireless.com and no user/pass but not sure.

Goto
Setting --> Connections --> GPRS --> MoWAP
Connects to: Work
Access Point: wap.davewireless.com
Doesn't matter what mobilicity customer service says don't change "Work" to "The Internet". Data connection will drop so often you will hate the service.
Internet Explorer Setting:
Menu --> Tools --> Options --> Connections
Automatically Detect Setting: Checked
Network: "The Internet"

i have a mobilicity snap (maple s520)
i can help if someone can tell me how to get the rom out of my phone.

I need the ROM for this phone, I just bricked it by installing 3VO. I can't leave it brick for long since I need it for business.

Make that two of us !

Does this mean the ROMs here don't work in the Mobilicity HTC Snap/Maple/whatever it is?
I have one as well. If you can give instructions, I can give the ROM it to you. I just got the phone a few weeks ago and am new to Windows smartphones.

I found this ROM Extractor, I'm not sure how it works but can you find out? http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=335540

Again, We NEED the Mobolicity Rom or the phone will not flash.

providing it is one thing but actually telling him how it works is better... or atleast find how to use it for him...

I would love how to explain how these work but I don't know myself, I'm just finding all the sources for someone who has the mobilicity HTC Snap.
I actually find an easy program that someone can use, http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=377514&highlight=ROM+Backup, Plug your phone in, and it will read your system files. Extract the .nbh file to your.

Hey guys, I tried to get you the ROM from the Mobilicity HTC Snap but whatever I tried didn't work. I have a Mac with Windows 7 on boot camp, tried rebooting into Windows natively but whenever I plugged in the phone via USB, nothing would show up in those utilities. I tried installing ActiveSync, which isn't compatible with Windows 7 and instead asked me to get the newer version (Windows Mobile something...), which is only compatible with Vista.
Hopefully someone else with Windows Vista or XP can extract the ROM for you.
BTW, have you tried contacting HTC directly for the ROM? Also, if the phone is less than 30 days old you can get a replacement from Mobilicity...

[Q] Internet Sharing after Update 8107

Hi guys,
after i updated my unlocked phone to 8107 i wasn't able to use internet sharing...
i was able to use 3g and wifi, but everytime i tried to use internet sharing, my phone told me that i don't have any data connection for using internet sharing... i retried all the steps for using internet sharing but it didn't change anythin.
does anyone of you have an idea what i should do?
greets

yes same here...and the 3g regedit not work anymore...i think they have change things in the new firmware...any solutions 4 this??
Sent from my OMNIA7 using Board Express

Use a registry editor (like WP7 Root Tools)
Go to Local Machine -> Software -> Microsoft -> Connectivity -> CellularCPL
Change the value of ShowConnectionSpeedOption from 0 to 1 and save. Now an option to switch to turn of 3G and switch to E should be in your Mobile Network settings.

hi nickshot
How should that solve the problem?

If your Internet Sharing don't work after Update 8107 change value:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showpost.php?p=21114261&postcount=429
Then restart your phone

i followed the instructions... when i change the value to 20 (it was 32) i tells me that IS is not usable and when i change it to 5 it tells me again that i doesn't have any data connection for using internet sharing.

I have read that those who had problems with internet sharing after 8107 update has solved so....but now i think the problem could be in the new firmware

i know that most of them wrote it but i don't know what to do...
here are the informations of my phone
Software: 7.10.8107.79
Firmware: 2424.11.11.2
Radio: 2424.11.9.1
Bootloader: 5.11.1.8

Forgive me, but the only thing can say to see and ask here:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1334248
I have yours Firmware and Bootloader but i don't have Internet Sharing
I hope you manage to solve your problem

worked for me. "20" (hexadecimal) correlates to "32" (decimal) by the way...

hi osso17 and xyap
I understood where the problem is but no one was able to help me...
I tried every value data from 1 to 32 and no one worked...

I got it!
I made a downgrade, then installed File Deployer, made an upgrade to 8107 again, *#9908# ind diagnosis, chose windowbreak and changed the value of userprocgroup to 5 and than it finally worked!

great solution!
